Find the "studio version" of this song...entirely different experience
I second this comment. The official video is a visual masterpiece.
@@brianlmoon Me three.
@@loutowers6529 Me four! The official video had to be put together in pieces and would be really hard to duplicate in concert. However, the official video version is the way all us oldsters remember the song.
Live is ALWAYS better....
Agree!
You really need to revisit this with Amber. The original studio video sent a shock wave through a generation, and is one soundtrack that so many people know the entire words to perfectly
Yes Amber will love this.
Yes, please get Amber. Sorry bro, but she's the brains of the operation as we say.
I'm sure he had her listen to it, I know I would have, but yes for sure if she hasn't
I agree!
Freddie, Sir Brian...Queen! Magic!
I sincerely hope you have listened to the studio version of this. The live performance is ridiculously amazing (all of Queen's live stuff is), but the polished, full-length version is a bloody masterpiece.
I would agree. This was not the worst performance but the studio version is sick.
Bohemian Rhapsody is perhaps the strangest song most of us have ever heard. Yet somehow it all fits together perfectly. It just *works.*
You’ve just witnessed the greatest frontman ever... period!!!
Absofuckinlutely.
He's arguably the greatest all-round musician of all time. His writing and composition is quality, his presence on stage is almost unmatchable, his vocal skill is unmatchable. Michael Jackson was the closest in my opinion.
How can you hear threw your hoodie Rob ?
@@theodoreritola7641 how can you not?
@@C.D.J.Burton No he's not. Best all around musician of all time?? Lol... Not. Freddie was decent on piano, but that's about it. There are many ahead of Freddie. He might be the best front man for a rock band, perhaps ahead of Robert Plant. Educate yourself
No performance better in history than queen at live aid. 21mins of perfection 😎😎 you need to react to that
Absolutely!!! 💯
No other performers could top Freddie at the live aid concert
Yes. It's always at or near the top of lists of the greatest live performances. Nirvana Unplugged is too, both performances have been covered to death regarding how great they are. For good reason though, I watch them both here on CZcams from time to time. Both performances mean a little more with a little context into what was going on in the performers lives too.
This Montreal concert is the best quality Queen performance to actually hear the songs. It was released on Blue Ray.
This was going to be my suggestion. The Live Aid performance was historic in every sense of the word.
I know by now, you know that QUEEN was the name of the group with the lead singer of Freddie Mercury who died in 1991 at the age of 45.
QUEEN’s songs are amazing and I hope you’ve been able to introduce Amber to this song.
Seeing both of you react to these songs that have to find my life over the past 70 years - it’s like when you take a child to Disney World - you feel the same excitement as a child does seeing Disney for the first time, and I am blessed to be able to see your excitement over the music I’ve loved throughout the years!
Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest showmen ever, but if you thought this was good, you have GOT to watch the official video/studio version. It is even more incredible! Queen was an amazingly talented group from the top down!
My brother you need to watch the studio edit.
Freddie Mercury was exceptional live, but the mastered version of this song will bring tears to your eyes.
📣 💯% Agreed!!!
This is probably the only Queen song where the studio version is better than the live version. Queen is amazing live.
No doubt.
i agree
I disagree with that the recording is great but live he is singing to an audience not just for the recording. He sings to the people and it's amazing.
Since you’re a teacher, you’ll appreciate this; Lead Guitarist Brian May has an EARNED (not bestowed) Doctorate in Astrophysics which he got after being in Queen.
He is also responsible for all of the overlays on the studio songs.
The man is brilliant!
Plus he and his dad built "Red Special" with stuff they found around the house.
and have to say Brian is one of those who developed the Hubble telescope
To be fair he started it before the band, paused it for his musical career then went and finished his doctorate!
@@afonsopereira3699 Actually he didn't. You got that confused with the New Horizons space probe that he worked with NASA on
@@hectorsmommy1717 tY
Watch Queen at the live aid concert. They commanded the adoration of every single spectator. One of the greatest live performances EVER.
And Freddie was ill on the day and had to adjust every phrase in every song.
Yes!
it WAS the best rock performance EVER and to think he had a throat infection to do that live magnificent
@@mathewpaul1888 Yes, it's no joke. I was a former singer and recording artist. I developed nodes on my thyroid which were malignant and had my whole thyroid removed. What they don't tell you is they move your vocal cords over with a clamp, you lose your voice for 6 months, and sometimes permanently. I was lucky, I could speak normally but singing ability? Gone.
To take a risk to do this with a throat infection could have been a game changer for him as well. That he risked it for the fans shows his devotion.
Freddie totally owned that whole day! He was phenomenal and in 20 minutes he was a legend. The world stopped to watch him. ❤️
The Live Aid performance is absolute perfection.
1975 Released It Rocked the 70s when it was bran new
Queen is one of the most of the famous groups in the world. Their lead singer Freddy Mercury had a 3 octave range. Insane voice. He died of Aids. You might like "Crazy little thing called love."
Four octave voice.
4 octave and Freddie would not correct his over bite for fear it would rob him of his abilities!
@@brigittereulet6522 Have you heard of Geoff Castellucci,? you should google Headless Horseman and his cover of Take me home Country Roads, Geoffs range is 5 octaves
Ya he even did Oprah music
@@steveeverett1736 *ahem* (and Tim Foust from Home Free)
You’ve heard Queen, you just don’t know it yet.
“We Will Rock You” & “We Are The Champions”
But first: checkout Queen “Somebody To Love” Live in Montreal 1981.
Once you’ve got your bonafides, then check out their Live Aid performance to see how a master performer, Freddie Mercury, controls a crowd.
Yessss somebody to love in montreal it’s just ✨✨✨
Somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981!! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yesssss Somebody to love live in Montreal!!!
Agreed
YESSSS - My favorite
A legend gone never forgotten. The greatest front man to ever perform
Not one single weak link in that band, all masters of their craft.. THE Greatest of all time, RIP Fred, still missed
Just imagine....
You wouldn't have listened to ANY of it before. It's so cool watching you hear my childhood for the first time.
Word. ❤️
Queen is the band... Freddie Mercury - lead vocalist/ piano.. Brian May (Dr. Brian May to be precise) - guitar, Roger Taylor - Drums, John Deacon - bass guitar... They're just the best and it's a total rabbit hole!! You'll get tons of great suggestions 😍
Brian May has a doctorate in , I think it's physics, so he ain't small beans in music or science
@@steveeverett1736 Astrophysics, to be exact 😊
@@cspole3435 thanks, I knew it was physics connected but wasn't sure if it was astronomy connected or not
Yes Dr Brian May is a very interesting man. Mentally and musically.
It is also Dr. Brian May as well as he is a DDS
I will never trust anyone who dislikes queen they are one of the greatest bands of all time
Freddy was EVERYTHING. The most egnimatic performer. I still choke up from watching his videos. He's greatly missed.
There is no bad Queen song. You could pick any, and it's good. Somebody to Love - Fat Bottom Girls - We Will Rock You - We Are the Champions. You likely know the last two from sports events.
I'm in love with my car is great
I have loved Queen since a teenager - I would've agreed with "no bad Queen song" -until just recently I heard a short clip on a car commercial -- a song I had never heard, but I immediately recognized Brian's guitar - and then Freddie's vocals.. song is called "Tear it up" - and I thought "well, I don't know this one - let me look it up" -gotta say, when I listened to the "official video -with lyrics" - it was NOT good -- Brian wrote it, apparently - but the lyrics were ridiculously simple and actually.. like... what? c'mon Brian - you are a genius -?? - and even the song in total was kind of awful.. and, well... lame... I hate to admit it -- but there IS one "bad" Queen song.. at least in my estimation... lol
"Bicycle Race" :)
@@GinMae There's a lot of Queen that I don't like at all. their hits were great but most of their music isn't that good imo.
@@kalmlykeabomb Well, to each his own -- I personally like some of the non-hits better.. but that's just me -- hope you enjoy at least some of their work -- it is definitely not ALL good - lol
Every time Freddy opens his mouth to sing he proves he's a legend
No kidding.
Yess. Love this man
Baffles me when I realize so many people haven’t heard of Queen, he would’ve been even more of a legend than he is now if he would’ve lived longer
The true value of art is how it moves the observer. This song belongs in the musical equivalent of The Louvre.
I love it when you young folks discover what you have been missing in music. This song came out in 1975 when I was in high school and literally rocked my world. Everyone in Queen was talented, but Freddie Mercury was exceptional!
I totally agree!
I wuold not say that. Each of the four were a god in his role.....no exceptions..... no one is falling behind....
But Freddie was naturaly the most visible....
@@rapsack7058 When I first heard this song I hated it- I thought "What is that on the radio?" after several listens I loved it- couldn't get enough. Never missed a Queen tour since the release of this song.
I agree, too, Sharon. This was amongst the tunes that meant the world to me. I was in the Marines, stationed in the desert. That summer I had the albums from Queen and Kansas on vinyl serving as the backbone of the music that got me through that duty station. In fact, 1975-76 were phenomenal for music - Peter Frampton, Boston, Nazareth, Steve Miller...
@@rapsack7058 I think they meant his voice.
Queen is the whole band. All of the guys are considered in the top echelons of players, or whichever instruments they play. They all also have college degrees. The guitar player, Brian May, has a PhD in Astrophysics. The drummer, Roger Taylor, has a Business degree, The bassist, John Deacon's degree, is in Electrical engineering. He designed a amplifier specifically for Brian's style of playing. I believe that Deacy amps are still being made. Freddie's degree was in Graphic Arts and Design.
they could all play multiple instruments too
Interestingly, when the movie “Wayne’s World “ came out, it featured Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody which caused a resurgence on the radios with callers asking for Bohemian Rap City.
Freddie Mercury was the sound of my teen years. Their music was so important to me. My biggest sadness is that I never got to see them in concert. Freddie was bar none the BEST frontman ever. RIP Freddie.
Check out "Killer Queen" "We are the Champions" "I Want it All".
Same
Queen is from my teens and I'm 61 now! This was back when there was no Auto tuner or studio tricks etc... They are pure talent, all around! It doesn't get any better than Queen 👑😊 P. S. Please check out the studio version of this, there you will see pure talent!
Their early albums used used to have "No synthesizer" emblazoned on the cover. Even the violin sounds from "Bicycle Race" was actually played on the guitar.
61 also. There is so much good music waiting Tobe rediscovered
Freddy Mercury was an incredible singer. Very few could replicate what he could do.
No one could replicate Fredy
Thanks, Jay! This video is a live performance, which is great, but... you really must revisit the *studio* *version* of the song with Amber... because the live version has some key elements missing. I think the studio version is one of the best-produced songs ever... the harmonies, the layering... a real gem. 💎 #RobSquadReactions #BohemianRhapsody #Queen
I'd love you to re-do this with Amber's reaction -- this is such a great performance to share with people you love.
Freddie Mercury is the lead singer, and it was he who wrote this masterpiece. It was ahead of its time in 1975. I can still remember the first time I heard it come on the radio, I sat down in front of it and couldn’t tear myself away. I was 16 years old then and I’d never heard anything like it before. Good on you, for someone who has only ever been exposed to rap, I think it’s wonderful to see you trying to broaden your horizons. You are in for a wild ride, because rock music from the 70’s and 80’s could take you on a psychedelic trip for sure. I love Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd but Queen are my favourite, especially Freddie who was an amazing man, both personally and professionally. A creative genius, taken from us too early, and very sadly missed still to this day. Please listen to Somebody to Love at this same concert in Montreal. Freddie is considered to be the best vocalist in rock, if you watch it you’ll understand why
I don't know why... I understand that people had different upbringings and different household music tastes.... but every time someone says they've never heard Bohemian Rhapsody it just floors me. Like... what? At the very least, it's part of the movie "Wayne's World", but I suppose I'm getting old now and "Wayne's World" is almost 30 years old. But then, something like the entire audience of 65,000 at a Green Day concert in Hyde Park, London, England sing all of the lyrics and all is right with the world again :) That's a cool video by the way. Green Day actually uploaded it to their channel. The crowd is singing the entire song just before Green Day took the stage. Totally fun and goosebump-y. czcams.com/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/video.html
Thank you for sharing this!!! ✨💞😍
Agree!!!! Lol
I've watched that Green Day video.... you're right, absolute chills!! Shows the love we have for Freddie!!!
I was at that Green Day gig and singing along. Gave me goosebumps at the time and that is after having seen Queen live back in the 80s. They were as good as you can imagine
I watch that Hyde Park clip at least once a week !
Freddie Mercury is Legendary! THE perfect Rock opera.
Freddie was a musical genius. There are 4 members in the band but Freddie is the Greatest Performer. Note how long this music is and realize it was an uphill battle for the studio to release to radio. I like Hammer to Fall, We Will Rock You (as followed by) We Are the Champions. These guys are icons and so sad we lost Freddie all too soon.
They are one of the most educated band there is.Freddy Mercury(singer) has a degree in graphic design and illustration
Brian May,guitar,has a degree in physics with graduate work in astronomy
Roger Taylor has a degree in Biology
John Deacon first class honors in Electronics.
Brian May actually has a PhD in astrophysics.
That's Dr. May to us laypeople. ☺
Brian May.. a masters degree in Astrophysics and who has worked with NASA, who preferred to earn his living playing guitar. And aren’t we glad he did. Voted best rock guitarist just last year. Genius
Dr. May, if I presume?
@@Spazzmatazzz Yep. Dr. Brian May is a true Renaissance man - Singer/songwriter/musician, working astrophysicist, animal rights advocate, and he's developed some other projects and published some books as well. And he somehow managed to actively work on a project with NASA while on a world tour with Roger and Adam Lambert pre-pandemic. He didn't just decide to stop doing astrophysics and be a rock star - he actually did both. Does both. Present tense. He is both one of the greatest rock guitarists in the world AND a working scientist. And he's in his 70s and still going strong. Kind of impressive.
Did Freddie Mercury have the most perfect voice?
While a typical vibrato will fluctuate between 5.4 Hz and 6.9 Hz,
Mercury's was a massive 7.04 Hz. All in all, Freddie Mercury had
one of the most powerful voices ever known.
Was even more eerie and heart wrentchingly good after his passing. rip. A huge talent for sure.
Queen’s Live Aid performance is a must see!!!!!
Lady Gaga named herself after a Queen song... These guys are legend. You can ask anyone my age where he was and what he was doing, when they heard that Freddie Mercury died. They will all remember it.
Radio Ga Ga .... great song!
That may be true but I found it very interesting that Gaga is also the name of a Babylonian deity and Mercury is a Roman deity and they are both messenger Gods ---- I do find that to be very intriguing --- makes you wonder
I think Freddie Mercury is the best rock singer of all time.
Roger got the idea for the song from his young son saying "Radio Caca". That is still in the original song along with 'blah, blah' and 'goo goo'
@@kathleensmith3555 Very interesting!! Hmmmmmm
a rhapsody is multiple genres put together in one movement
I don't care how many times you hear this. You can't NOT sing to at least some of it. You can't NOT get goosebumps all over. You can't NOT feel this down in your guts and soul.
The recording company didn’t want them to put this song out. But know it is one of the best selling albums in the world
Queen is the band, Freddy Mercury is the lead singer...fantastic! NO RAP, now WE WILL ROCK YOU/WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
QUEEN: Freddie Mercury-piano/vocals, Brian May-guitar/vocals, Roger Taylor-drums/vocals, John Deacon-bass
I had a part time job at age 19 digging graves in a cemetery.
I had a pick-up truck with the radio blaring while I was digging when Bohemian Rhapsody came on for the first time. I was down about 3 or 4 feet in the grave when I climbed out and ran to truck because it was the most amazing song I ever heard. I was in shock about what I was hearing.
Logically I know that there are people out there, like you, who have only been around one genre of music... but my mind can't conceive of a life like that. I was surrounded by music of every genre, literally every single kind. The older I get and the more I look at social media I realize I was raised in a blessed environment. It makes me so excited for you as you delve deeper into the music of this country and this world. You have no idea the ride you just got on... kinda wish I was just starting as well.
Hello again, Sweetie! Some thoughts about Queen, and Freddy Mercury, from this old broad- for what they're worth.
Freddy was taken from us all too soon, as one of the early well-known victims of the AIDS epidemic, dying on November 24th, 1991. No, the song wasn't describing his struggles with the disease, but was written in 1975 (I was 9!), long before the disease came about. He was diagnosed in 1987, and kept it secret from the public until the night before he died, not just because of the stigma attached to anyone with a diagnosis at the time, but because he had hoped a cure would be discovered before his death. Queen was one of the greatest bands of all time, in my opinion- they certainly broke down musical barriers and successfully blended an operatic style with modern rock in a way that garnered them fans which spanned a huge spectrum of musical genres. There was never the like before, and never will be their like, again.
They did the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander" (1986) by the way.. a great and terrible film, and one of my personal favorites.
Everyone forgets Queen did the sound track for the movie Flash Gordon.
@@brigittereulet6522 Not me! I love that movie, as bad as it was, because I adored Max Von Sydow- RIP
@@marcialavine1272 And one mustn't forget BRIAN BLESSED (Voltan) and his scenery-chewing.
The art-deco scenery looked like something straight out of the original comics, and Dino De Laurentis was in his happy comfortable place with production, being able to indulge in the eye-poppingly bold palates and visual drama of costuming the iconic roles presented by the original comics and old cliff-hangar serials.
@@brigittereulet6522 Yet everyone also knows "Flash" from TV commercials, possibly even more than from the film. It's one of those Queen songs that everyone has heard at least some of but they have no idea who it's by or what it's from.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Queen is the band...Freddie Mercury is the lead singer.
Bohemian Rhapsody is a metaphor...don’t take it literally as applying to Freddie...whatever he sings he pours his heart and soul into it🤩
This wasn't the 'official version' of Queen's video. This was a live concert recording. Find the official version and be sure to wear your Beats. It will blow your mind!
The rabbit hole is deep. Their final album, "Innuendo", is highly underated and extremely moving when you know what he was going thru while recording the album.
That was when his AIDS was at its worst, correct me if I am wrong.
Same thing applies to "Made in Heaven", which is actually their final album, though released after Freddie died.
@@Andyvan92110 Thank you for the correction. I was struggling with old man memories.
The song Innuendo could be considered a successor to Bohemian Rhapsody, having a similar structure.
I love watching people expand their horizons! Queen is inarguably one of the all-time great rock band. So influential!
I agree with many here, who have said you need, NEED, to listen to the studio/album version...while this is great, the studio version is a phenomenal experience all on its own.
Queen was a rocking band with alot of rocking songs like "we are The champions" and "we will rock you", ect. And this gives you an opportunity for a future crossover because the song "under pressure" was written and preformed by queen and David Bowie together.🙂
If you like piano then you need to hear Elton John. 'Tiny Dancer' is a good start for his piano work.
Elton John's I'm Still Standing
Somebody to Love, live in Montreal 1981!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Imagine how our teenage minds were blown back then!!!!
Bohemian Rhapsody evokes so much emotion in so many people, it really is an all time masterpiece.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy these reaction videos. I'm an old gal and British, so some of the music you react to is very much the fabric of my life. Watching you react to hearing them for the first time almost feels as though I'm experiencing them for the first time too and I thank you for it.
Same here but I’m an Aussie… bringing back so many memories of my life when each of these songs were popular.. absolutely loving these videos 😍
Awesome reaction, it is great that you are trying different music! Queen is one of the biggest artist of all time, they are the 4th best selling artist of all time, they are British band that was created in 1970. The genre of rock is Progressive rock, it was really a rock opera. The song is about someone who kills a man, and he gives himself over to the authorities, in the end he accepts his fate. The songs goes through the 5 stages of grieve. Bohemian Rhapsody is still one of the most popular songs, it recently received diamond status in America. Queen has a massive catalog and they had over 60 songs that made it onto the charts during Freddie Mercury's life. They did any genre of music, some Queen songs you would likely recognise is Another One Bites The Dust, I Want It All, We Are The Champions and Rock You.
I cant wait to hear more from Queen
4:58 Brian May wrote this guitar solo
@@RobSquadReactions So this also means you have never heard of Meatloaf (not the meal but the singer), listen to Bat out of Hell
@@steveeverett1736 I prefer "Paradise by the dashboard light"
@@glennleader8880 yes I agree, the actual title is 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light'. The whole album is good but each song on it deserves it's own reaction
This was his coming out song…he was raised in Zanzibar from a strict Parsi family…he needed to be his true self and had to kill off who his family wanted him to be…Freddie Mercury is his name…the band is unbelievable…
One of the greatest most talented singer, performer ever. Even in extreme pain, could barely walk or stand he carried on right to the end to be THE BEST ever. Gone too soon but what a legacy he left. Love you for ever R.I P Freddie
Queen is at their best live-- that being said, I totally recommend giving the studio version of this song a listen for this track in particular. A lot going on with the technical side of things that they were able to create in the studio. ❤️
For sure!!
or the official video clip
I watched a Queen documentary recently that said that this song was about Freddie coming out as gay. The man he killed is the man everyone thought they knew. He was worried that he would lose all his fans and fame therefore believing he would be figuratively executed for killing the man they knew. Instead, we loved him even more. The studio version and the official video for it is more powerful, I believe. Also, Pentatonix does a great cover of this song. They are an a cappella group, which is a whole other rabbit hole for you to go down!
Holy shit after reading your comment I've never heard The song before! And I've loved this song for year's.
Great comment, thanks so much. Opened my eyes. 👍
I thought it was about him having aids
@@jessicawilliams5189 written years before aids was even known about
Who said that? I don’t believe Freddie ever said what it was about. Whoever said that was clearly just conjecturing
@@dannygmtg ooooohhhh ok
Been to many concerts in my life, but Queen was the best!
I just found this channel today and glad I did and having said that, Live Aid is considered the greatest live performance by any band ever.
Oh my.....this level of greatness....buckle up and 🤘 Rock On. Subs will educate you on Queen....meanwhile these 4 are about to knock you off your chair. 🎼🎹❤️😎
I think one of Freddy Mercury's greatest vocal performances is *Somebody To Love* from Live Aid at Wembley.... hell their whole set rocks!!!! Definitely worth checking out! Love Peace and Happiness Y'all!!
They didn’t actually sing Somebody to Love at Live Aid. The best versions are this Montreal concert, or Milton Keynes both excellent although Montreal seems to be the most popular.
This is what's meant by visionary. Absolute genius 🙏
Queen - We Will Rock You
Go and check out the original vid!! Ya just gotta. 😊
Jay, you're right to be speechless - this is an epic song, part ballad, part opera, part rock. As other comments below have said, please do a reaction again with Amber to the original studio version and official video, which is incredible.
cant believe there are people on this earth who haven't heard of freddie murcury & queen
Great reaction! The song is actually about Freddie coming out to his family - the death of his previous life. He didn’t want to disappoint his parents (“Didn’t mean to make you cry”), but about needing to live authentically. Queen is one of the greatest bands of all time! Absolutely incredible live. You *have* to check out their set from Live Aid! It was rated the greatest performance of all time. They weren’t even scheduled to perform until a week before, and Freddie had a throat infection & went against doctors orders to perform. Legendary!
I have a question that still confuses me but my mom and my gramma told me it was about him coming out but also he had possibly infected someone else? I still get emotional cing his videos 💜 i can listen 2 their music all day long but idk y watching him (them all but Freddie more 😢) but its just something nobody has ever confirmed or denied 4 me...
@@cplaza81 This song was from the 70’s, long before he knew he was sick.
@@cplaza81 That's an untrue story I'm afraid. He never came out to his parents at all. Even before he died. Unfortunately it was wrongly portrayed in the movie
@@warrendenford6724 ok ty 4 that 👍 i couldnt make it thru the movie as bad as i wanna watch it all 😞 it seemed like theres misinformation from the beginning and i didnt wanna c what else was misconstrued 💜
@@hmaz7637 ty 4 letting me know 🙂 i was born n 81 n thats something that i was told but information that sensitive is really important 4 the world 2 know 😞 thats how legacies get ruined n its just not fair smh
It's rock opera! No other band made music like this except The Who
Meatloaf
Yes
My 45 year old son became a fan of Queen when he was five years old when he heard, We Are The Champions, Another One Bites The Dust & We Will Rock You on a jukebox at a restaurant we went to. He still remembers listening to those songs at that restaurant so long ago. The restaurant is still standing, the jukebox is no more. So sad!
The most dynamic male vocalist of all time. Arguments welcomed.
You need to watch the original official video too, it will blow your mind 😍 theirs a huge Queen fan base on here ❤️ also please react to Queen at Live Aid 1985!
I will definitely Watch the original video it is coming up soon
Queen is the band. Listen to the 20 minute performance of Queen at Live Aid for the full Queen experience
No one can do Freddie Mercury justice. May his voice forever live on. But Adam Lambert is a damn close second. Freddie would be proud.
You will not find many people in the UK that dont have a soft spot for queen and the late very great Freddie mercury!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Jordan, cry; if the music makes you cry, then cry. Let it move you wherever it takes you, you will not be alone. If anyone thinks less of you for crying, they don't get it and they are not worth listening to. (Yes, I know, it is damned hard to reach that level, but it is true nevertheless.)
I would have been heartbroken if you hadn't liked this song!! LOL. There are SO many Queen songs that are amazing. I hope you will check out many more. At some point you should check out the Live Aid concert. I KNOW you will get a ton of requests for it. But I think you should listen to a few more of their songs, first. Quieen is a group. Freddy Mercury is the lead singer. He died of Aids many years ago. (This song wasn't about that though)
They got everything. Rockabilly - This Thing Called Love. Workout - We are the Champions. 80s - Another One Bites the Dust. Mushy Love - You're My Best Friend.
Freddie Mercury, probably one of the best ever . And his band Queen.
He, Freddie Mercury, is known for drawing everybody in in ways no other performer has ever managed , so give them a chance and let Yourself to be blown away😂
Legends. Queen. You won't be disappointed going down this rabbit hole! Freddie Mercury is nothing but amazing..this was back when musicians actually sang and played their own instruments. no auto tune!
The guitarist Brian Mays is like totally a genius an Astrophysicist seriously. Freddie Mercury.
The singer of Queen was Freddie Mercury, who is deceased. He and Brian May, co-founder of Queen, were the principle composers and lyricists of the band, which was considered one of the premiere bands of its time. It can hardly be rivaled today. Brian May, the principle guitarist (long, curly hair),plays the guitar that he and his father made from household items in their garage when Brian was in school. The guitar you see in the videos is that guitar which he calls the Red Special. Not only is May a virtuoso guitar player, but he is an astrophysicist. All of Queen's music should be discovered and explored. It's different and wonderful.
Queen has a massive, impressive catalog and you can't go wrong with anything you choose. Under Pressure, Love of My Life, Who Wants to Live Forever (all from Wembley in 1986), Fat Bottomed Girls, Don't Stop Me Now (my happy place song) and their Live Aid performance from 1985. The last suggestion is a MUST.
You really need to watch the official studio version of this.
This was a song that something never done before. It was recorded in a studio when all they could lay down was 8 tracks on one tape. ALL of the voices and music was done by the band and no backup signers. They recorded the tracks over and over laying them on top of each other until it sounded like an opera type background. One of the guys in the studio said the tape had holes in it from so many times they recorded tracks on top of one another. A major record producer was driving his car when it first came on the radio and had to pull over to listen to it. In an interview later he said he knew history had just been made. This was long before you could stuff with all of electronic equipment, it was just actual tape. Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest voices.
agreed Howard!!! That would be an epic reaction video - Queen's Live Aid concert. Simply amazing.
By far the best group to come out of the UK. He died in 1991, and the world was devastated.
Wait!! Have you never heard of the Beatles, or the stones, or the who?

Wait..... Thats your opinion, i was just stating mine. 30 years ago, i would have said it was The Bay City Rollers! 😊
Yes!!! Queen is my favorite band!! Hope you’ll check out their song Somebody to Love (Live in Montreal). Freddie sang & played his heart out. It’s a must see!!
A BOHEMIAN IS A PERSON WHO LIVES OUTSIDE OF CONVENTIONAL RULES , A GYPSY THAT'S WHY THE SONG IS KINDA EVERYWHERE
Fellow geezers, do you remember hearing this for the first time? It was SO "What the fuck was THAT?" and also SO exciting. Played it over and over at least 20 times the first time I heard it.
Queen is a band, and they have a shitload of wicked tunes. Personally, I think this one is far from their best. It is one of their best known though.
My go to Queen album is A Night at the Opera, pretty funkadelic 👍🏻👍🏻
