Just listened to "no opportunity, no experience required", did queen rip off the main bass riff on bo rap?

    No idea - probably   - but Squire was a ROCK GOD back then. I'd never heard a sound like it.  That's a fine album.

    John Deacon was well-known for borrowing other basslines, and I very much doubt he was unaware of Yes...

    That said it's certainly not a straight rip-off - it's about half the speed for a start :).
