People talk about how Sly and the producers wanted to use Another One Bites The Dust
Whether Queen pulled out last minute or just never agreed in the first place gets debated
It makes more sense to have an original song written for the film
Sly chose Survivor to write this
Then he used them again when they did Burning heart for Rocky 4
As Eye Of The Tiger was the subtitle to Rocky 3 this makes more sense
Did Queen get asked to write a song or songs for the film
They wrote a song for Flash
Then an album for Highlander
Emilio Estevez asked Jon Bon Jovi for permission to use Wanted Dead Or Alive for Young Guns 2
Jon refused
Which worked out best for the same reason Queen refused
So Jon wrote the original song Blaze Of Glory
Which is the subtitle of the film
Same story as this Jon ended up doing a whole album for Young guns, as Queen did with Highlander
Was AOBTD really going to be The song for the film
When having a song called EOTT specially written, with lyrics that are about boxing and the film and Rocky himself would be so much better
