this song should be number 1 again bc of the lyrics.... more relevant than ever
I love how you break down the lyrics, videos and music and just understand music in general. From day one Queen where ahead of their time. Four academic brains collided and made music which is still relevant today
This is a masterpiece. Please react to Queen Live Aid Show. It is considered by many as the best rock concert in history.
Live Aid is not even close to their 'best' live performance.. It wasn't even Queens biggest concert that year. They played to around 350,000 people ,prior to Live Aid in Rio De Janiero,, two nights running.
I didn't much care for the song choices at live aid, and Queen alone could draw the same crowd.
Their Live from Montreal was pretty sweet!! 🤘
@@celt67 I watched that performance on youtube; absolutely incredible that the South Americans LOVED Queen. Freddie ate up the crowd & had them in his hands with his incredible magnetic performance.
They didn’t face death threats. This type of message wasn’t controversial in 1991 at all. I think we were almost more tolerant in 1991 than the shit we’re seeing today.
Politically correctness has destroyed creativity. People are always afraid to speak their mind and constantly think twice or more before saying something in order to avoid hate messages or other repercussions. Nowadays songs like this or "God Save the Queen" by Sex Pistols would be unthinkable.
100%.....exactly....
Not every moron on the planet had the online anonymity to threaten people in the 80's. Now everyone feels they can be an asshole with no repercussions. Big mouths behind a keyboard.
@M. M. Monroe - I'm with you. I was born in 1949 and today's world is very scary. The earth is being treated like we have a spare in the trunk. The current social instability and unrest, radical nationalism, racism, sexism, tribalism, religiosity and incivility is frightening. If people aren't afraid, they should be.
Can I still drive a pollutant vehicle when I’m older?
The whole Innuendo album is a masterpiece! I think you would also like Scandal from the miracle album! It is written about the way tabloids treated them at the time
"Show must go on" and "Who wants to live forever"
He already did show must go on
But who wants to live forever not
That would be cool
@@sophiecooper3624 He didn't do Show must go on.
Yeeah, a highlander song!
As far as i know there were no threats,people were different those days not so uptight as these days as Tina 27 TAS said.And if Queen wanted to write/sing a song like that they just did it.damn the consequence.That was part of what made Queen great.
I don't think they really had to face any backlash for this song: the message of Innuendo isn't that far from the message in Lennon's Imagine, for example. Fans liked it, not-fans didn't listen to it and the press was disgustingly more interested in Freddie's private life than in Freddie's songs.
Yeah I'm pretty sure freddie coukd have made a song singing every racist word and the press would still have focused on his private life
Ahh yes Innuendo, the last album made by Queen when Freddy was still alive. Recorded in late 1989 early 1990 it was the album's first single released in January 1991 and when released went straight to #1 on the UK charts #17 in the US and was in the top 5 in several countries throughout Europe . This video was made in November 1990 I think. The second longest track in Queen's discography behind Bohemian Rhapsody. The Spanish Flamenco Guitar in the middle was done by Steve Howe from the band "Yes"
The song itself was recorded live in the studio too, I think at Mountain Studio in Montreux in the main casino hall which is quite interesting.
It's kind of funny, you seem to know quite a bit about Queen and their music and yet misspell Freddie's name.
Frank Holland lol and this isn’t queens 2nd longest track the prophets song is longer so is March of the black queen this was the 2nd longest single.
It should be released in the USA now and I think it would do far better than 17 because this album in a lot of Queens Music was 20 to 30 years ahead of its time.
Made in heaven is the last album by the queen
Flamenco solo was a colab between Brian and Steve
Definitely one of Freddie's best studio vocal performances. And lyrics here are spectacular no doubt
Rock stars don't care what they say...they're not afraid to speak they're mind
even back then Freddie had to be careful due to his sexual orientation. When keeping in mind that fact and the pressure a life like that would have generated in a time when people were still not very accepting to those things. Freddie may be one of the few rock stars who did remain quiet, but he may very well be the greatest of them all.
A true musical genius, Irreplaceable
Freddie Mercury is immortal, He lives on in us all. This song above all resonates with me. Queen provokes so many emotions with their music.
LEGENDARY
This is in my opinion one of Queens top 3 albums. It was perfect. This song was so spectacular and the video was awesome. You have to watch it several times to see everything that is going on. It was one of their best works
I really enjoyed your intelligent and thoughtful analysis of this, probably my favourite Queen song. Not every song by Queen has a deep and meaningful message but when they do they are so good.Other songs that have powerful lyrics are 'Is This The World We Created?', 'Who Wants To Live Forever?' and 'One Year of Love' (just a small sample)
I love how you do your research and understand truly what's behind the songs. That shows respect to the legend that Queen is. Two thumbs up for you!
Pulsing bass line, lyrics. What a song! The greatest band and music of all time!
Holy Crap! Listen to that voice. No one can touch Freddie. You talk about a political message that is very much overlooked. "Hammer to Fall" is about the cold war and telling the people to hang on and play their game and in time the Hammer, meaning the Soviet Union, will eventually fall. Queen was the first Western Band of any kind to play behind the Iron Curtain when they went to Budapest in 1986, (Check out that Concert), where they sang "Hammer to Fall".
Yessss that voice!! Freddie Mercury was dying and this was probably recorded about a year or a little over a year prior to his death. Brian said even if Fred could come into the studio an hour or two at a time a couple times a week that Freddie was able to get a lot done then and then he will get tired and have to go home and rest.
great song. and back then, they were fine, as people werent so easily offended as they are now.
Checkout don't stop me know great feel good song
Many people are blind and don't see that you don't have to be a taugh rapper to pass a relevant message to your audience. If you like this kinda message, try Hammer to fall. It is about growing up under the threat of a nuclear war during the Cold war. It is not that dark and gloomy, rather a typical rock feeling.
Damn you make me feel old. It was a great time. Wayyy better than now.
This was what got me into Queen in early 1991 (i was 8) and while i didn't get all the "innuendo" and the true meaning behind it, but the imagery spoke to me as an 8-year old. It was something i haven't seen in pop music till then. The song goes through a lot of moods and the melody is gorgeous. When you grow up and learn more about life and the state of the world the lyrics and message is really clear. As a kid who was raised (moderate) Muslim, i did have the same questions to "God/Allah/etc" so it grabbed more when i started to question all religion and the state of the world at that moment when i ultimately fell out of faith. A religious upbringing doesn't necessarily mean you are a practicing believer, but you are just going through what your parents are telling you what to believe in and kids really want to emulate the grown-ups in the end. That said, this song (still my favorite Queen song and probably my favorite song in the word..ever) really captures humanities struggle for getting answers about the fundamental questions of life. People of faith direct those questions to God, but sometimes fail to look for answers in themselves. I feel that this song directly asks God the questions: " Show yourself - destroy our fears - release you mask" but until we get those answers, we'll keep on trying.
I don't believe they got death threats back then when this came out. It's funny you brought that up, because it's such a 2018-mindset to assume people got offended at every little thing like criticising or questioning institutes like religion. I have read all books written about them, seen all the interviews and documentaries and there was no mention of backlash with this particular video and song. They had some backlash back in 1984 with the I Want To Break Free video and of course the Sun City concerts, but as far as i know those were the only "blemishes" in their career.
I like your reactions to the Queen videos, not just for entertainment purposes, but more so for getting different perspective of how another generation perceives the band.
Cheers!
Your Queen reactions're gems, mate.
Cheers & much love from a life-long Queen-Freddie devotee.
You have to see how they used to work. Check the “one vision documentary”. 20 minutes about how they wrote, composed and recorded the song one vision! They were geniuses!!!
The making of One Vision is better than the documentary.
@@barrysiewert7386 I think we are talking about the same video
I love how you respect this legendary group, love your reactions, keep on.
You may be my new favorite reactor cause that was great! Keep em coming
One of the most beautiful Freddie type of songs is The March Of The Black Queen. It was released on 73 on Queen 2 album. The song is similar to Bohemian Rhapsody and Innuendo.
Don't forget these were four very intelligent and EDUCATED men who weren't just musicians but world citizens who knew world societal conditions and human nature.
IMO the most underrated Queen song ever! The animation is visually gorgeous and the lyrics are still extremely strong and relevant! It’s like part 3 of a trilogy of six minute operatic masterpieces. The March of the Black Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody And Innuendo. Amazing!
Your comments on this masterpiece of social commentary, makes my heart swell with love and pride. The 9nly time they really caught backlash was for playing in South Africa during that awful scourge on my country, called apartheid. When as a British group they snubbed their noses at sanctions.
Good job understanding and glad your impressed with Queen. Each one wrote # 1 hits. The guitar Brian May made with his dad out of bits and pieces, It's one of a kind like Freddie. It's called The Red Special. They all hold degrees such as Brian May guitar - PhD Astrophysics, Roger Taylor - Drums - Biology, Freddie - graphic/ fashion design, and John Deacon electronic genus/ takes care of all Queens accounts/ money so as to make sure the band is never screwed over again. Brian May has discovered 4 new stars named for each member of the band. Keep up the good work
From the UK 🇬🇧. I grew up with Queen’s music. I can confidently say that the back lash to this song was naught (nothing). The world’s sphincter wasn’t as tight as it is today. Especially in the UK 🇬🇧, We have always used music as a message and outlet. ALWAYS. That’s why as a nation we have produced the best bands on earth. It’s Americans unfortunately have been and some still are closed minded. You’re less tolerant as a nation. You’ve got a lot of catching up to do. But things look like they are going backwards. Just be the best you can be. You seem like a nice fella and one of the few guys (American) that; no offence, listens to Queen the lyrics and the music simultaneously and gets it. The symbiosis. You get Queen. As a black Brit I’ve watched a few reactions and I have found it quite irritating that a lot don’t listen but want to come across as interpreters. Music is art it means a lot of things to a lot of people. What cannot be disputed with Queen is their Genius, versatility and all round magnificence. You’re recognising these qualities in a humble way. That I appreciate. For the crowd that they drew look for Live Aid though not their concert, it’s legendary for Freddie’s crowd control and charisma and Queen live at Wembley. They biggest crowd was at Rio 250,000+. Keep rocking mate.
Beautiful ❤️
Mezza Hi from the UK 🇬🇧. Right? This guy does his research though and I’m a scientist that’s why tend to watch him. Because he’s really educating himself and catching up. He’s finally got QUEEN FEVER. I’ve been in a “cold cold sweat” since I was a child in the 80s😜👌
America has many different kinds of people, I am 58 years old white woman and totally except people for who they are. The MSM likes to label everybody and alot of their analysis is wrong. I come from a family of 11 kids and my Father was a WW2 veteran and taught us to except people for who they are and to help people if you can. So see your opinion is incorrect.
Fredricca lind As you believe my opinion is not correct, I have to correct you. Opinions are not facts. Some facts were in my statement and some opinions were included. I’m entitled to my opinions whether you agree or not; that’s yours headache if you choose. What you cannot say is that my opinion is wrong. By saying that you’ve proven my point and I’m a scientist. Proving theories and hypothesis is my job. You’ve made my day. Like I said. A lot of catching up to do. Unfortunately.
phartley58 I do hope that was rhetorical. If it’s not clear to you, your dumber than a rock.
You're my favorite reactor, man, you really care about all aspects of the songs, I really love that. Live? "Save Me" LIVE in Montreal '81, and of course....Live Aid.
I have to give Props... they had a voice with masses of people and they used it to spread positivity and love. they encouraged inclusiveness and acceptance.
Thank you for your intelligent reaction and commentary. There is a diss track by Queen about their manager who was ripping them off, it's both awesome and vicious, called Death on Two Legs and a track called Fat Bottomed Girls which is fun and frisky I think you'll like both. There is also a song called No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) which is the bands tribute to Freddie, it's hauntingly beautiful.
QUEEN!
SO GLAD TO WATCH YOU REACT...
I am 60 years old.... I was there when it all started!
Incredible talent...
And Freddie's voice Is timeless.
This is my all-time favourite in my 35yrs of existence!
This song is written by Roger and Freddie and you can really appreciate what a musical drummer Roger is, with this song. Unlike some drummers who just bang out the beat and use fancy stick work, Roger tunes his drums so he actually plays notes with them. At times you will even hear the melody coming out from the drums, which is clearly obvious in several other QUEEN songs as well. If you watch him as he is playing you can see him selecting the notes, he is completely in sync with the other band members at all times. Roger is the absolute best musical drummer in rock, in my opinion. Radio as opposed to video really did reach the masses and we heard all the music, not just the most trick videos (which is the storyline behind the song Radio Ga-Ga). The songs continued to be played for years, even decades and we each formed our own images and ideas as to the meanings of the songs. The Spanish guitar on this song has YES guitarist Steve Howe playing along with Brian May. Howe said it was so difficult that he didn't think he could do it and had to take hours figureing it out because the music itself was so involved and tight. This is the first track that QUEEN ever put on an album that included a guitarist who was not part of the band. Queen tried to never really be political because they felt that music should be entertainment not all about the heavy stuff that was going on in the world. This song is all that is wonderful about QUEEN.
Great review mate. This is probably my favourite queen song. Good to see you dig deeper behind the lyrics to see more than just words.
Keep it up.
Yup, Queen were much more than "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll."
In my mind Freddie is talking about the meaning of life, and why things happen the way they do, he was facing his untimely death, and I'm sure these questions must have crossed his mind, and Freddie being Freddie put those thoughts on paper, this must have been very cathartic for him, and the rest of the band, it's a masterpiece
Roger wrote this.
Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️
thank you for understanding their non violent approach to the timeless messaging to the worlds perpetual disenfranchised
.
So true, before the internet we had a lot more messages through music!
All you had was controlled TV, radio and news papers.
It was hard to spread messages through word of mouth.
_Keep up the good work, chur bro from New Zealand!_
Perfection.....Queen magic....the older I get the more I realise how privileged I was to see them live back in 85
i LOVE YOUR REACTION OF QUEEN! PLEASE REACT BARCELONA(FREDDIE MERCURY AND MONTSERRAT CABALLE)
WATCH QUEEN AT LIVE AID!! You'll see the crowd. 😊
Lots of artists performed at Live Aid - so it wasn't a Queen concert, but, as you said - no one wanted to go on after Queen. Their performance at that event is considered to be one of the greatest rock performances of all time
Freddie Mercury is a true legend. There is no frontman like him - never has been, never will be. May his soul rest in peace.
Song from 1991. Last number 1 hit Queen had while Freddie was Alive
Theatrical , magical , majestic, deep , powerful lyrics.
This is one of the most underrated songs in the world.
Many people don't know this song.
Intro , Spanish guitar solo , quietness...man , it's like going to an end of world judgement.
I have always been a Queen fan! However, watching your reactions make me a bigger fan! All the things that I may have forgotten about why I loved them so much, you bring it back to me! Thank you!
This is my favorite song!! It’s perfectly fitting for this world. Then and now! This was the last album that he did with the band but the very last vocal he performed was mother love. Freddie did the first first and then he died and Brian May and the boys had to finish it up. It is a beautiful spine wrenching song but absolutely enough to make you cry when you hear this song and think of everything he’s going through.
One of my favourites and in 2020 its more relevant than ever.. the lyrics man...just wow. Have you listened to "Is this the World that we created"? - live aid Freddie Mercury and Brian May. now that makes me well up..
BTW: I LOVE your, sincere reactions! Not many people today actually listen, they only hear. Kids have no idea that they are listening to are Hand Played Instrumentals, most without synthesizers. Most early albums would say “No Synthesizers”. Eventually they gave in. And you can’t avoid the lyrics they wrote themselves. They did not have anyone write the music or lyrics. Lastly, I commend you for even pointing out certain things that the young just ignore. I was a lone “Queen” LOVER since 1977. I’m so happy people like you appreciate the work put into each song. I wish I had a friend back in 1977 that felt the same way you feel about Queen. Fat Bottom Girl from Old HB, NYC
thinking Freddie must have already been quite ill when they did the video for this as all the queen footage is reused material. As for dealing with stuff 'back then', nah mate, non controversial. Biggest discussion point with the song as i recall was the length and radio stations cutting it in half.
Love your videos, and queen are amazing.
I feel like this song is now more important than ever.
Incredible song!!
When this song was written times were way better than they are nowadays. At that time the Berlin Wall had fallen just a year and a half before, on November 9th, 1989, and you cannot immagine the emotion that people here in Europe had felt in seeing that terrible barrier being dismantled brick by brick. That had also given people the hope for a new and better era. It looked like we had tried to find a way to reach each other. Unfortunately all this has been lost and today more than ever we watch and judge the others by their race, religion and skin colour. What we feel now is fear and resentment. Maybe we've stopped trying. I hope not....
Freddie was in full blown AIDS by this time, thus animated video.
That little backlash it went straight in at number 1 so no issues with the lyrics
Your next reaction needs to be a live video...especially Live Aid....I promise you will be blown away...and the crowd of people there 🙌🙌🙌🙌🤟🤟🤟🤟
Cheryl Speares Mercury Vs The Crowd, Wembley Stadium ‘86. Beautiful. Just had the entire thing in his grasp.
They don't write them like that any more................
look around for music that isnt on the radio. Theres plenty to find. Weve gone full circle and prog has returned. its like 70s all over again but modern. Theres plenty of music to find if you know where to look.
And cant sing like this! F.M had a amazing voice!
I recommend all of them! Or for simplicity I will go with The Prophets Song, The Millionaires Waltz and Dead on Time. Cheers!
lol he will never do those
I remember Freddie saying he doesn’t like writing message songs.. but I know he loves conveying messages through his songs.. and I love how you dissect and give meaning to each line.. Worth subscribing! Please do more of their obscure ones. 🙏🏻
Absolutely a masterpiece. If I don't recall bad, the video is made from Disney Studios
Andrea Logiudice Don't quote me, but I believe you're correct. It makes sense considering the year prior to the release of the "Innuendo" album, Queen had signed with Hollywood Records, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney company. I think one of the considerations in the deal was the access the band would have to the studio's animators who could help create music videos for them since Freddie's health was in decline at the time. In addition, Hollywood got the rights to the band's back catalog, definitely a win-win scenario for both sides.
Queen was never controversial. The only time i could think of them being controversial was the time they did a concert at Sun City which i really don't know anything about. Queen is an amazing band and rarely only a few can rival them.
This may be my favorite Queen song. Well, today, You have played such a great range of Queen songs, not just the U.S. hits. (MTV and U.S. radio didn't play Queen in the 80s. See the Days of our Lives Documentary and Brian and Roger talk about why.)
my Queen vinyl collection (pristine of course) hasn't been played for some years.....until i saw these reaction vids and realised how bloody fantastic they were,so I'm back on it.Played The Works,followed by their debut through my new expensive hifi,and had a new love for them.guess what will be on in the van this week?
Chilling song! Love your reviews...especially when you do the research. Love it!👍
Holy shit, thanks ... for you regaled us with your deep minded explanation of the meaning of lyrics in a farewell song on last album. God bless you son, you are one hell of a thinker, you invented crossword puzzle didn't you?
It was a wonderful song. People really don’t really look into what songs can mean, people can interpret their own opinions them. I do believe it is exactly what you said. You should check out Scandal. Freddie uses a awkward voice but the song is great.
Just watched your reaction to innuendo ,love how you do your research , they did a few songs with messages , try watching the miracle video is clever , but words are beautiful thank you ,good luck xx
great job. definitely check out the prophet's song, keep yourself alive, father to son, death on two legs, love of my life, radio gaga, hammer to fall, keep yourself alive, etc. just gorgeous genius!
I grew up with Queen, loved every song. I remember getting the records without knowing the songs, all the songs were awesome but this song, and I don't know why I was weirded out by this song, I love every song and I'm not just saying this is the only song that wasn't my cup of tea lol. Can't complain just one out of hundreds, I have every Record they ever put out the rest of the songs on this album I love. I have a turn style too it's great
Enjoyed your reaction to my favourite Queen song. Peace
Innuendo is a MASTERPIECE! I love ya, but wanted to scream when you stopped in the middle of one of the greatest acoustic guitar solos EVER! 😂
Wow, a music video that actually has a link with the music!
Queen continues to this day putting out music even though they are solo records they are still relevant. Try Roger Taylor’s Gangsters are Ruling the World .
❤ 0:05
Video artistic side note. Freddie = leonardo da Vinci. Brian= m.c. escher. Roger = jackson pollack. John = pablo picasso.
You'd be surprised, the 80s were a lot more tolerant then now. Dont recall them having much backlash to deal with on this one, I think most people were paying more attention to the composition, than the lyrics.
When this was recorded Freddy Mercury was VERY ill but still he put out such power. 😳
Definitely more tolerant times back then. There was more universal understanding for the necessity of freedom of speech, worship etc. Differences were more appreciated even if not agreed with as compared to demand of conformity and public attack currently popular in today's climate.
Binge watching all the Queen videos
DANCER from Hot Space. Won't stop until you do.
Weirdly I just came across this in my feed. I haven't seen this in a long time. I still have a T shirt covered with the paint I splashed about while painting over the rotoscope footage of Roger Taylor for that splashy effect. Good times!
I like how he says kashmir as cashmere
Also the AIDS epidemic, which was affecting Freddie by then. People were dying , without good treatment or cure.
Queen had to get some real diverse videos at the end of the run, because Freddie couldn't stand, but he could still sing,
what would queen sing about today ? one man's production is everyone's poison, freedoms being erodes, living in the digital and the real world.....
Last verse,Yes we'll keep on trying tread that fine line. Yes we'll keep on smiling and whatever will be will be, till the end of time. Moral of the story we as a people will never get our act together,we will just keep doing what we always have. And what is the definition of insanity again
rock n roll has carried the message since the 60's and always been fearless in their criticism of our glorious leaders,and long may that continue,but i despair of todays youth.where is the rebellion and passion for causes that WE had?
take to the streets,write songs about the shit we take from governments,go the festivals in your thousands and spread the word...... but I'm guessing that would mean they'd have to put their fucking phones down for more than 5 minutes.
we are all doomed,unless we go back to the future with this kind of music.
Life was gr8. Music was pumping + other things
Please do One Vision... But PLEASE watch the extended version. Such a great video of them all together working on their music.
(Also highly recommend Radio Ga Ga and Headlong, the latter being from the same album as this song)
What was going on was Freddie's health. Hear Hitman, Delilah, Bijou.
They should also rerelease Is This The World We Created? & There Must Be More To Life than This
Innuendo is like Bohemian rhapsody’s little sister
back then ....UK no problem US maybe...song is still very actual for our own time
The great gig
U need to start watching queen in concert to get the full effect check out any song from the 1986 Wembley concert. Come on up your experience
Too sad starting with his final recordings. Go for his early live shows. The most stunning voice - live shows were even better than the studio recordings.
