The most recognisable bass line of all time haha nice reaction/review
every instrument shop you go in,the wannabe bassmen/boys are slapping that fret to THIS bassline.like Smoke on the Water and every wannabe lead guitarist trying that riff first.
great stuff.
I agree but; come together by the Beatles has to be a close second.
This song was written by John Deacon, The legend bass Player
@@bigmike2464 - On the recording John also played the funky guitar bit (at 2:30 and elsewhere on the video) because Brian said he wasn't good at that style.
Amazing bassline indeed, but to give credit where it’s due, the first part of it was lifted from Chic’s “Good Times”
Little fun fact about this song is we probably wouldn't be graced with it's presence in our lives if it weren't for Michael Jackson. Bassist John Deacon wrote the song and Freddie gave it everything he had. Sang it till his vocal cords threatened to bleed to get it perfect for John's vision of it. He was liking the "funk" style music at that time. The other 2, Brian and Roger.........not so much into it. In fact, so much that they weren't even wanting to include it on their upcoming album, let alone release it as a single. Michael Jackson heard it, all but demanded they release it as a single. Insisted it was going to be a hit. Thankfully they listened to him. And the rest is history. So let's give MJ a big thankyou on that.😉
Another One Bites The Dust went to #1 on both the Billboard Singles Chart and Billboard R&B Charts. No other artist or band has done that.
Michael Jackson was a MASSIVE fan of Queen. and Freddie was a fan of Jackson as well
@@amb2745 It is pretty bad that Roger and Brian are not on board with a lot of John’s songs. This was Queens first number one hit in the States.
Steph was ALL into this one, lol. Y'all are so much fun to watch. Had an excellent time sharing your enthusiastic Reactions. And yo, Jay did a damn fine impression of Mercury, that was pretty damn good, man!
Queen is the greatest band of all time!
John Deacon the bass player wrote some of the best bass rifts
Under pressure at Wembley is a good example
Please react to Queen Somebody to Love, Live at Montreal. Amazing. Thanks.
Second that emotion
Omg 1980! We were children then and would sing "another rides the bus" every afternoon riding the school bus home.lol.It was fun
When it was first released in 1977 we would stomp and clap and punch the metal sides of the bus to the beat. And we all sang the verse as hard as we could. Drivers in the cars near us at the stoplight looked up all wide eyed and scared at the noise we made. By third morning, the driver turned off the radio and got out of his seat and said we better quit with that cause we were gonna destroy his bus! We better just clap or he was gonna stop playing the radio on the way to school! We behaved cause losing Queen in the morning would have been horrible.
What was Weird Al's version!
Its so true Steph when you hear that song you go back to the 80s. Queen is my favorite band ever!
Steph n Jay ...the kind of neighbors everyone should have. Glad you two just enjoy life so much. ✌
Freakin' awesome reaction. Queen are just "it" aren't they. They leave the rest in the slip stream. Love you guys. Got the biggest smile on my face after watching you in the UK
Hey after you're through with Freddie and co would love your reaction to Rag 'nBone Man singing "Human". Xxx
Brian May is not only a Phenomenal guitarist/songwriter/producer but he also has a Doctorate in Astrophysics.
Brian was also recognized by NASA for his work. It is not known if Brian May has ever taken an I.Q. test but others say it could be as high as 180 due to his work and papers on Astrophysics.
You guys are so fun! I think you would enjoy fat bottomed girls by Queen. Cheers :)
They certainly would.!
Love Queen. Saw them live in Germany in the early 80s and I had that mustache too!
Xenophon well my father still has that mustache .... after all this time....(btw I’m from Germany) xD
@@horrormaus5181 😉👍
Rip to a great Singer & songwriter Freddie Mercury we still miss you
John Deacon, bass player wrote this song , you need to watch Somebody to love ,live in Montreal, 81. And the show must go on.
Saw the movie when it came out in November 2018. Worth the price of admission just to hear that music on Theater speakers. Unbelievably great!!!!
Enjoyed watching you guys enjoying this! This is just one of Freddie's looks which is my favorite. In the mid to late 70s, he didn't have a mustache and had longer hair, like shoulder length and wore more make-up. Then in the 80's he came into this look, kind of the masculine gay man look. Love it and still so sad for the early loss of his life, but he and Queen sure created timeless, amazing music.
This reaction was fantastic! Both of you are so passionate I love it. Please do more Queen!!
What a great reaction!!! 😎
Love it!
From a hardcore Queen-fan from Norway.
Love your reaction and I've subscribed to your channel.
Looking forward to more Queen reactions.
Warning, very long comment. lol
I love talking about Queen and Freddie.
Another One Bites the Dust was written by bass guitarist John Deacon, the song featured on the group's eighth studio album The Game (1980).
The song was a worldwide hit, charting number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, from 4 October to 18 October (their second number-one single in the country).
The song spent fifteen weeks in the Billboard top ten (the longest running top ten song of 1980), including thirteen weeks in the top five, and 31 weeks total on the chart (more than any other song in 1980).
It reached number two on the Hot Soul Singles chart and the Disco Top 100 chart, and number seven on the UK Singles Chart.
The song is credited as Queen's best-selling single, with sales of over 7 million copies.
This version was ranked at number 34 on Billboard's All-Time Top Songs.
The song won an American Music Award for Favorite Rock Single and also garnered a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
John Deacon's bass line was inspired by "Good Times" by the disco group Chic. In an interview with NME, Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards stated, "That Queen record came about because that Queen bass player ... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio."
Recording sessions - produced by Reinhold Mack at Musicland Studios in Munich (West Germany) - consisted of Deacon playing almost all instruments: bass guitar, piano, electric guitar, and hand-claps.
Roger Taylor added a drum loop and Brian May contributed noises with his guitar and an Eventide Harmonizer.
There are no synthesizers in the song: all effects are created by piano, electric guitars and drums, with subsequent tape playback performed in reverse at various speeds.
Finally, sound effects were run through the harmonizer for further processing.
The effect of the harmonizer can be heard clearly in the "swirling" nature of the sound immediately before the first lyric. In early live performances, Taylor sang lead on the chorus, as opposed to the studio version sung entirely by Mercury.
As the song became more well-known, the band could rely on audiences to sing the chorus by themselves.
After attending a Queen concert in Los Angeles, Michael Jackson suggested to Freddie Mercury backstage that "Another One Bites the Dust" be released as a single.
I'd been wanting to do a track like 'Another One Bites The Dust' for a while, but originally all I had was the line and the bass riff. Gradually, I filled it in and the band added ideas.
I could hear it as a song for dancing but had no idea it would become as big as it did.
The song got picked up off our album and some of the black radio stations in the US started playing it, which we've never had before.
Michael Jackson actually suggested we release it as a single. He was a fan of ours and used to come to our shows. -John Deacon
A fantastic bit of work from Freddie really.
I mean, I remember Deacie having this idea, but Deacie doesn't sing of course, so he was trying to suggest to Freddie how it should be and Fred just went in there and hammered and hammered until his throat bled, making... you know, he really was inspired bit and took it to a new height, I think. -Brian May
I remember laying down the backing track with him and... he really wanted the drums as dry as they could possibly be, so I just stuffed it all with blankets and made it as dead as I possibly could and very low tuned. -Roger Taylor
Credit for the song should go to Michael Jackson in many ways.
He was a fan and friend of ours and kept telling me, "Freddie, you need a song the cats can dance to."
John introduced this riff to us during rehearsal that we all immediately thought of disco, which was very popular at the time.
We worked it out and once it was ready, played it for Michael.
I knew we had a hit as he bobbed his head up and down. "That's it, that's the gravy.
Release it and it will top the charts," he said.
So we did and it did. -Freddie Mercury
If you Guys want to be really blown away, watch Queen at Live Aid 1985.
This performance has been voted as the best live rock performance ever.
Live Aid: Live Aid was a dual-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13
July 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative.
The original event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise
funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine.
Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously at
Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000
people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
United States (attended by about 100,000 people).
On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other
countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria,
Australia and West Germany.
It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television
broadcasts of all time; an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion,
across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast.
If accurate, this would be nearly 40% of the world population at the
time.
Unbelievable, just imagine 1.9 billion people watching this performance
around the world.
Queen, stole the show and there were approximately 75 other acts
performing during the program.
Can you imagine all of this?
Freddie wrote Crazy Little Thing Called Love as an homage to Elvis.
Queen was recording in Munich. Freddie was back at his hotel taking a
bath when the idea for the song came to him. He wrote the song in about
10 minutes and told his PA Peter (Phoebe, nicknamed) to call Roger and
John and tell them to go to the studio to record the song.
If you guys were amazed by Freddie's energy in this 22 minute
performance, you haven't seen anything yet.
Watch some of their concerts, now imagine Freddie entertaining the
audience for 90-120 minutes.
He was amazing and mesmerizing.
Queen is the best band and Freddie is/was the best front-man
ever..........
There can only be one!
You both are cool as hell, as this song is! Hopefully you can react to more Queen songs! 🙏
i just am so glad i found this channel! thank you for the fun!
Yaaasss, that is what I love to see, people groovin to this song. If you're not dancing to this, you are dead inside 😅😁
I think you should do Somebody to Love, live in Montreal '81. It seems to be a rite of passage for Queen reactions and I would love to see you both experience it 😊
I love your reactions to Queen! I graduated high school in 1978 so I was right in the thick of the Queen fandom. Still love them all and miss dear Freddie.
Thank you for sharing this video!
The two of you have the BEST reaction to Queen.Its like you were right there at the concert and loved your comments.Happy I found you,Hope to see more.Thankyou
This was so awesome! love you guys in these videos
This band kicked it in the 70sThe 80s and started kickin as in 90. Till Freddie passed. ROCK ON QUEEN FOREVER!!!
This was the first song of Queen that made me fall in love with all of them, especially Freddie! I heard it everywhere I went! My Dad was ready to kill me because I played it every time we were in the car together! That was until one day, (when he did not know I was looking) ,he started rocking along to the music with me ! Queen is the King of Rock Bands as Elvis is the King
of Rock 'n Roll! The only true great Icons!
Queen is Queen ... they have rock,heavy metal ,ballads ,opera ... amazing band .
Even the Hip Hop 🚉 down where I live even play this song part of Hip Hop throw back
You guys are what this world needs, something that brings people together, not keeps them apart. Cool show.
My son and daughter in law played parts of this when they entered their wedding reception. Hysterical but a good idea!
Please react to somebody to love live at 81 Montreal.
Love your reactions, so much fun. I’ll look out for another queen vid from u guys.
Hey Jay, this went number one on the R&B charts and several others...I know you heard it...I was a little kid...roller skating to this, then...it was all over the FM dial...
Miss Steph And Sir Jay.. From the United Kingdom we need Friends will be friends by Queen. I Thankyou from Nottingham UK
Uh oh uh oh the robot! 😀
Loved the reaction and I'll also add to the others who have suggested somebody to love live in montreal.
Thanks for sharing!!
LIVE AID, (Queen) Best rock performance ever. It was a huge event for aid to Africa at the time. All bands who were anyone back in 86 was there. Queen stole the show. You will love it. thanks.
Watch live at Wembley and see what you think. Freddie is the greatest live lead man ever.
Freddie was funk as shit. That dude has so much range and diversity it always blows me away watching him. You guys rock by the way your reactions have been fun to watch so far (subscribed)
Omg you said Sergio Valenti! The funk of this song has never changed. Maybe we bring those jeans back too 😂😂
That was nice to watch with u guys. Great music of course.
Written by the Queen's quiet bass player, John Deacon with runs and riffs added by the great Freddie Mercury!
I love how into it they are
watched both of you with a great pleasure! well done!
Awesome reaction!!! Much love from New Zealand.
You're awesome, guys. I love your enthusiasm! More Queen, please!
I remember in an interview them saying this was the song that broke amaerica for them, it was at number one for months. They said they turned up to gigs after this song and there was lots of black faces for the first time, and they could tell the faces was looking at these white guys on the stage thinking 'queen are white'. Always made me smile that.
Under pressure is another great song. Co wrote with Bowie.
"Dat bigass moustache"
Well said! :D
Not going until i seen all your Queen vids 😜 love you both all way from the UK
Loved this reaction guys. Y'all energy in your reactions puts you guys a cut above most reaction channels. Thank you for your channel.
Love your reaction. Queen was so talented and Its always a treat to see Freddy strutting around. lol I hope you do more!
I love watching you 2 have fun.
I enjoy you two. You're fun to watch and to listen to. Keep up the good work.
Your reaction is awesome, love from the UK :)
John Deacon the bassist wrote this song. All the songs with strong, recognizable bass lines, (Under Pressure is another one) were written by Deaky.
Fun to watch Steph's face in this one. Easy to see there's lots of fun memories there.
Love you guys!!!
Finally someone closer to my age who really remembers the clothes! “Not Sergio!!!” I’m dead!
Annette Kirby 🤗🤗🤗😂😂😂
The iconic song that was never meant to be. It was released as a "B" side to another song off "The Game", but club DJ's in NYC ( in 1980) discovered it and turned it into the monster that still is to this day.
I fall in love with you guys a little bit more with each vid I watch!
Bhurzum II 😍🤗
Another great video. You both are so fun.
One of the greatest bands with one of the greatest artist of all-time! Freddie Mercury was music genius!!!
Even us white folk cant help but move to this tune! You guys are AWESOME! Keep it up.
Just came across yall's channel, love the energy between you too
lmao, wearing wrist bands right now, they help cushion my wrists when on the computer because of my carpel tunnel. I wrap my wrists then put on the wrist bands over the wrap for more cushion.
I thoroughly enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody. My mother raised me on Queen and I honestly cried at certain points during the movie. I hope you both like the movie!
The song is from the 80's but damn if you said it was made yesterday, i would have believed it too. Some smooth tunes Queen had allready back then.
Thanks for even acknowledging my comment. There are 2 other people I requested the following Reactions to but they didn't bother. So I believe that you guys would LOVE to do these 2 Queen Reactions but both of you MUST WEAR HEADPHONES to get the full QUEEN EXPERIENCE. They put a lot of time and effort to make the following 2 songs, among others, to be listened to WITH HEADPHONES. You hear them left, right, center, up and down. A drink or 2 makes the QUEEN EXPERIENCE even better. PLEASE!
1. NOW I'M HERE
2. THE PROPHETS SONG
Sincerely, Original Fat Bottom Girl from Old HB NYC
(BTW: Fat Bottom Girls is a Queen song, usually followed by Bicycle Race, another Queen song. Steph would love them, no headphones required, and I think Jay Lee just may like it more.) ❤️
grew up listening to queen, watched this video to many times to count and yet today i learned something new about queen,
" what kind of jeans the band wore"
rick ffishermun 😂
I love you guys!
Thank you...
"Fight from the inside", "Sleeping on the sidewalk" and "Shear heart attack"...Lesser known but equally as good. Looks like both are enjoy this one. Good weekend every weekend you two.
Finally people reacting to these videos that can remember back that far. Like me. lol
Please, do NOT react to Somebody To Love live in Montreal without first listening to the studio version. Otherwise you have no sense of WHY the live version is so incredible: they made a beautiful and VERY complicated song in the studio, and then were able to adapt it and make an equally beautiful live version. Because they had actual talent.
I agree, same thing with Dragon Attack, listen to the studio version before the live show! Fantastic funky funk!
I had a pair of Sasson's. Got them at Artie's (Is for Smarties lol) and one leg shrunk. In my hood, all the girls wore Sergio Valente sneakers. I wish I kept a pair.
This song changed my life at 7yrs old.
I cannot BELIEVE you have not yet reacted to QUEEN at LIVE AID...their full 20 minute set. That was a charity concert that went all day and night in summer 1985 at TWO stadiums simultaneously...Wembley stadium in London, England and 100,000 people at JFK stadium in Philadelphia, PA., USA. About 40 different SUPER famous groups played that day including Elton John, Phil Collins, Madonna, Black Sabbath, George Michael, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner...a reunited Led Zeppelin with Phil Collins AND Tony Thompson on drums taking the place of Zeppelins late drummer John Bonham.....all playing to get donations from around the world on 100 phone lines for famine relief for millions of starving people in Africa. And the greatest Rock and Pop group of ALL time...QUEEN....with also the best singer and best frontman EVER, Freddie Mercury.....STOLE THE SHOW and the DAY and blew all the other acts away. Please do yourselves a favor and react to that.....known as the greatest live rock performance of all time....even though it was only 20 minutes long for Queen's set for that long day of many star music groups. Do it!!!!
You damn right, that base hit you in the face. This is wide open for a rap.
Love you guys already!!! All the way from n.z.
Watch Queen at Live Aid 1985.. such performances are the stuff of legends.. you both are darlings 😘
Love this song. It's a great dance song. In my Wilder days 😁 me and my friends could shake our Booty's listening to queen. I was 17 in the 80s do I'm a 80s Lady.. you guys should react to Creedence Clearwater revival (CCR,) any song there all good... 🤘🤘🤘

I love your reaction videos! Greetings from Italy!
I think this song came out about the time of the movie The Warriors. Every time I hear it I think of the Warriors making their way back to Coney Island while running the gauntlet of gangs like the Baseball Crazies.

You guys have to see that movie Bohemian rhapsody.Just know that there are some big things that didn’t happen in real life but they did it in the movie to make it dramatic.Just know in real life The band never broke up and the Freddie found out he had aids in 1987.Great video
