Nearly 4 decades later and no-one has outdone the LiveAid appearance. The band demonstrated to everyone how to steal the show, and Freddie showed the whole world that he was and still is the "God" of stage presence.
@@mariatoth4673 i don't want to and i appreciate nobody is trying yes agree band gotta go on and kids now days gotta learn his songs without him but we are here to remind him and carry on the legend ...
Silverhand...absolutely... Tho not being a follower of queen and never having bought a album I did however grow up hearing queen and enjoying their music on radiio.
I love the gentleness and protection that Brian and Roger use when they talk about Freddie. You get a sense of the brotherhood they felt, especially at the end. It's beautiful to see.
I truly love how all of the Queen bandmates supported and cared for Freddie and even defended him when he told them he was HIV positive...Freddie was a very brave man, extraordinary singer, performer!!!
I saw Bohemian Rhapsody right after my mother died after two years of suffering through a slow paralyzing illness. It has carried me through the pain of my grief. I hear Freddie's voice belt out "Mama" over and over again in my mind and I can't get enough of it. I keep watching the movie over and over. Thank you Freddie and Queen for meeting my heart. You are a transcendent, timeless and healing!
May your sorrow at your loss be a comfort to him music ... im sure its chalaging for you... I'm hoping & feelinv her spirit will be there for you always . Take care
Freddie was without question THE BEST rock voice to have ever walked this planet. I hate that AIDS took him, but I count myself lucky for having grown up listening to Queen and all the musical magic they created. Still miss you Freddie!
I’m 75 and have rediscovered Queen! Here on Utube! Freddy Mercury brings tears to my eyes! What a gifted, amazing man! With modern technology I am able to indulge myself once again! ❤️😎😍☮️❤️
I love how gentle Brian is, “ I guess we lied. Because we wanted to protect him.” Then Roger gets all gangsta,,” He was in the gym yesterday! F$&@ YOU! It’s NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!” LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE GUYS! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can honestly understand why my older sister was sobbing when Freddie Mercury had passed. He was a phenominal artist & entertainer! I have watched the movie, "Bohemian Rhapsody" at least 7 or 8 times! And I'd watch it again if I see it on the t.v. guide! He truly is a legend! Kathleen * Michigan
You can only love Freddie's energy and what he brought to his fans over and over was fanominal. That is why today, 32 years later,he is still an icon on our lips.
The Greatest Band of All Time that produced the most iconic songs ever.Their music transcended generations be it in the big sporting events,movie soundtracks and covered by thousands of aspiring pro singers.Their music will live forever!
In my small town in bible-belt USA in the 70s and 80s, it wasn't allowed (all the preachers railed against them and forbade parents to allow their kids to listen to them) and definitely not cool to listen to a band named Queen with a front man like Freddie. Thankfully I had some uncool friends and we loved Queen. We'd sneak around to one another's houses to listen to the only album we owned "A Night at the Opera" that one of us had convinced our parents was actually opera. We had Bohemian Rhapsody down so well that we would walk around the halls in school singing it out loud from different parts of the school. Those were some good times... still missing you, Freddie.
Here's the thing about Freddie: he's a legendary, incredible stage presence and simultaneously he's so....human! I smile from ear to ear everytime I watch him! 👑
I was born in Nov. of 1949. I graduated high school at 16 and went to college, then on to be a flight attendant. I have to say I was so lucky to have been born when I was. Queen was incredible, as was Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Beach Boys, and on and on. And yes, I did inhale! lol Now I'm almost 69 years old....Time flies when you have incredible memories of concerts in those days!! I feel so lucky!
Demand, it was & still is! We are still living “back in the day” seeing the same concerts, some of us doing the same things, just doing it a little slower. So thankful there continues to be repeat “last tours”. Last time we saw the Stones, Mick said it was the ‘catch ‘em before they croak’ concert. It was a fantastic 3 day concert - all headliners, in the desert 2 years back. How they got them all at one time was amazing. You can live part of the ‘olden days’. 👍
@@demaan3357 OMG was it ever! I was 15 when the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show! Can you imagine? I remember the Beach Boys being a big part of my teenage years too. Then college brought on more music like Led Zeppelin (and yes, I did inhale!)! lol. Thanks for your nice comment!
@@wendymcgar4610 What a great comment...Thanks! I'm still so pissed off that Fleetwood Mac fired Lindsey. He is sooo hot, still!! They made a huge mistake doing that....They will never be the same without him! I would have loved to have seen the concert you referred to. Yes, those were the days!
I was born in 1974 and I always say that I was born in the wrong generation because of my lifelong love (OK, obsession) with the music of the '60s and '70s. I'm a Beatles superfan but I also love Zeppelin, Floyd, Bowie, Heart, Hendrix, and QUEEN! I'm insanely jealous of anyone who got to see these bands live. Granted, I have my own great concert memories of Gen-X bands like Pearl Jam and Radiohead, but it doesn't feel quite the same. Baby Boomers had the best music. 😊
It was Kharma - I think Freddie instinctively knew that he would be a Rock legend some day, and gladly for us he and the boys stuck to it despite massive opposition from the music press and greedy managers - giving the world the greatest rock band ever seen, and heard !
Still the greatest frontman of all time. And, really, it's not even close. Freddie was amazing. I always felt bad for John Deacon because he had tremendous difficulty carrying on musically after Freddie died. John tried. He really tried. But I think the pain of losing Freddie was so great that he had to find other ways of dealing with that pain than trying to carry on the Queen banner. I can't imagine that level of pain and living with it for 30 years. I hope he's at least found some peace. And watching videos and documentaries sure makes my heart feel good remembering all the good things the band brought to this world.
@patrickdempsey7952 I agree. John still hasn't gotten over Freddie's death. For him it was too painful to carry on. For me, that incredible sound and atmosphere of "Queen" died with Freddie. No disrespect to Adam Lambert, who has an amazing voice, but the magic is gone.
Well said. I always liked a handful of their songs but after watching the movie I became a fan. Freddie was a great singer and Brian is a fantastic guitar player but one thing people seem to overlook is the fact that they can ALL sing. That is not typical in a rock band.
@@dasparado that movie didn’t have it right and made Freddie look bad wrong facts only good thing was hearing Freddie’s voice, Freddie would never beg anyone to take him back lol plus other wrong facts-Freddie made Queen there’s no more Queen without him. The actors were great but that’s Hollywood very surprised Brian and Roger went along with that script….for Freddie’s sake knowing the truth
That part was what really got me, so damn heartbreaking.. I was watching this thinking of how he talked about the nosy press and all that, how he really must've cared about him, and then this happens. It's just too sad, poor Roger
Really sad, i was crying on that moment 😟 Roger was only 3000 yards from Freddie. I can imagine how he was devastated about the fact he didn't come on time
It’s impossible for me to watch this and not cry. Now seeing the tribute concert, and George and Bowie are gone, it’s heartbreaking. They will all live on forever.
I am sorry that they say they lost America. I am a black american female and i love and support Queen. And admire Freddie Mercury, he is one of my most favorite humans.
I wish he could just come back. It’s so painful to realize how close he was to living so much longer. He’s an inspiration in so many ways , not only as a musician, but as a human being who fully committed to who he was.
I didn't like Paul Rogers as the singer because his type of voice was so different. But I thought Adam Lambert did a great job. I saw them in 2017 and it was great!h
Misti You took the words out of my mouth. I just breaks my heart. I never fully appreciated just what a great person he was. I regret that very much now, all these years later. 💔
The last 10 minutes hurt my heart. Now David Bowie is gone and so is George Michael. So many great on and off stage personalities we’ve lost. Music will go on forever and I’m so thankful for that. All hail Queen.
❤ I suck I second that I second that statement above., I discovered the screen when I was in high school in nineteen seventy four.. I am 62 years old now. And I am completely fixated on every aspect of the creation of Queen. I am convinced. That people, for hundreds of years from now, we'll be studying.The techniques that fretty used to write, It was quite a bit of discipline involved and they worked there booties off to create queen two I vividly remember. I can't think of two men that deserve it more, Is then brian, And Roger to have the opportunity to rule the world before I leave this world. It is absolutely appropriate. Queen forever. 🎉Kelly jo
Freddie Mercury is and will forever be one of the greatest singers and entertainers but everyone forgets about the bsnd. Brian, roger and john. They all helped create one of the best sounds in the world. I mean, Brian May is one of the best guitarists in the world in his own right. Long live Queen
Very true. They were the right people together at the right time, and they made history. Any praise is well deserved for them all. I grew up on their music, we had Night At The Opera and News Of The World on vinyl and wore them tf out. Think about how universally recognized We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody are. *Long live Queen* !!!
Freddie himself said many times that it wasn't about him, it was about the band. He never tried to take credit as being the band's leader, he was quoted at a press conference as correcting a reporter by saying, "I am not the band's leader, I am just the lead singer." They were all Queen. All class acts and amazingly talented artists.
I was glad to see the smile on Brian's face as George Michael was singing "Somebody to Love" The guys needed to feel some relief from their loss and this concert clearly helped.
I remember seeing the show on tv here in america. when Liza Minnelli sang we are the champions, I smiled. Freddie loved her. it was a loving tribute to him. the whole show was.
@@monapause8108 yes my brother and I watched the full concert on tv, it went well past midnight EST, unknown to our parents who thought the kids were asleep
They will never die, they are legends and future generations will look at them like we look back on Beethoven, Mozart and other great musicians. While we play their music and remember them they are alive.
My dear old mum, who died two years ago loved Queen, and in particular Freddie. She didn't discriminate against anyone no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation. She loved the music so much. When I hear Queen I think about mum. Great memories. Great band.
Forgot to add that the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert was spectacular. It was everything we've come to expect from Queen. There was grandeur in the Freddie style and Brian's role as MC that evening was nothing short of astounding. He not only rose to the occasion but shone like a supernova. Freddie would have been immensely proud of him, sending him off in true Freddie Mercury style. Roger and John contributed their support but it was Brian taking the lead, singing, playing keyboard and guitar of course. It was also heartwarming to see the love from so many celebrities that participated. The one thing that was crystal clear was the complexity of Queen's music - I don't think a single musician that night went unchallenged. It was an eyeopener of how amazing Freddie and Queen were. Thankfully that concert is still available on DVD and so worth buying. It stirs the soul. And in response to Brian's comment about initiation into being a rock star... the same can be said for fans... once you let rock into your soul it is there forever more and never leaves you... especially when what you love is as special as Queen. Roger, we're the lucky ones that Queen were who they were individually and as a group. That final song on the documentary says it all... Queen - it's a kind of magic!
The man had a throat infection and still killed it at Live Aid!! Today’s so-called « singers » can’t even carry a tune in their pockets!! Love live Freddie! Long Live Queen, Brian, Roger, and John, you’re number 1!!
He died the year I was born 1991. I never really knew much about his music, heard some songs but never gave it much thought. But now thanks to the movie, I'm like non stop watching all the videos I can, thanks to CZcams . I'm hooked.
Ignoring the normal band disagreements & "spats" these guys had over the years... the AFFECTION these band members CLEARLY had for each other was (and continues to be) INSPIRING, ENDEARING & ENCOURAGING!!
Dennis Cassley I got the same thing from these documentaries and after reading all the comments about the movie I went and watched it and didn’t really get that at all from the movie. If that movie was my first introduction to Queen I don’t think I’d have really became a fan. I didn’t think Freddie was portrayed as very likable either.
My daughter (she is now 14) and i would rock out to ‘We will Rock You’, We are the Champions, and more when sitting in traffic- i remember her sitting in the back of the car in her car seat slapping the sides the bringing her hands above her head to clap as i did the same in the front seat, on the dashboard and the steering wheel yelling ‘ WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU’ when she was 2-3. Twenty years before that, i was standing in the bleachers of my high school stomping to the same song with hundreds of other classmates after our team won a big football game. Long before that, as a girl i listened to Bohemian Rhapsody at a friends house doing a school project: whose older brother was my first crush. Today, at 50, listening to Days of our Lives and realizing Queen was the soundtrack to my life.💔 Thank you Queen. I love you.
That incredible look of his eye 👁️ at the end when he said l still love u..an Wave 👋..it was so heart warming God bless Freddie Mercury so as his friends
Samuel Hudon hi! I saw the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and I fell head over hills with Queen especially Freddie. I know the popular queen songs but I have no idea how the band looks like or Freddie. After I saw the movie, I had to google the real Queen. Watched all the CZcams documentary and everything that’s out there. I couldn’t get enough! I love everything about the queen and Freddie... they are all very amazingly talented, brilliant musician. My daughter who is 13 love them and there music. We start learning Bohemian Rhapsody on piano, we love it! Oh how I wish he was still with his Band making music.
It was tough watching the video when Freddy was so gaunt and ill. He was such a talented guy. He gave us his voice til he couldn't anymore. RIP Freddy and best wishes to the rest of Queen.
Here I am, blubbering like a baby for a man who died 27 years ago. I hope with all my heart that when My time comes I'll face death with as much bravery and grace as Freddie did.
Seeing Queen at Live-Aid was the greatest 18 minutes of my life (Don't tell my wife!!!!!!!) It turned out to be the greatest comeback in entertainment history. Then, exactly a year later, we were back at Wembley for their masterpiece. No-one on earth ever had Freddie's stage presence - he could 'work' 100 000 people with a single gesture. I was never a fan of George Michael but I have to say - nobody else on the planet could have pulled that off - incredible
Sad fact: George Michael's partner was just diagnosed with AIDS as he was up there singing at the tribute. He was in the audience & George was trying to hold it together onstage while performing for Freddie who just died of the disease. :(
Chris Cross Michael Jackson had biggest crowds and they would faint before the show started. Freedie was great but Michael was magic and Michael fans are the most loyal. No one commanded the stage or the audiences like Michael.
I'm so glad I was alive when Freddie Mercury was in the world. I grew up listening to Queen's music and it has always brought me great joy and a host of other emotions. Each member of the band is astonishingly gifted. Adam Lambert is an amazing performer but for me that "Queen sound", and magic, died with the superhuman force that was Freddie Mercury.
Definitely. I have been to a Queen and Adam Lambert show, as I was too young to see Queen live, it meant the world to see Brian and Roger perform, they gave me goosebumps. I was skeptical about Adam Lambert but he actually put on a great show and he is very talented in own right, but Freddie is irreplaceable and nobody could ever match his sheer talent.
I knew this band was special back in the 70's when they first came out there was nobody like them and today still nobody can touch them what a super band
kara karshner are you kidding me? You must not have lived through the 80’s. You sound young. Read or listen to the 15 hour book “Somebody To Love,” about how everyone was constantly warning him to slow down, and at least use protection, and he said “fuck it! I’m doing everything with everybody!” I was so upset with him reading that, because I wish he were still here! Of course people are reckless every, single day, in every single way, but he was living in a completely hedonistic way during the HEIGHT of the AIDS epidemic. He knew he was going to get it, and he was both scared of that, and thought he’d escape it, so he did it ALL anyway, and at the end, he was so ill that he was blind and had lost a foot. Excuse me for feeling sorrow at such a HORRID ending for such a beautiful person. I was expressing sorrow that he was self destructive, having hundreds of sexual partners, unprotected, during the time of no cure, because I adore him, and I miss him! He was on a path of destruction, but in the end, he faced it so bravely. It just didn’t have to happen. I think he never came to terms fully with his life, and was depressed in his private life, which I hate. Anyway, this wasn’t “regular” crazy kid recklessness. We aren’t talking about jaywalking. We’re talking dozens and dozens of gay club orgies with no protection, when “gay cancer” was suddenly killing everyone.
@@ElissaStark514 wow 👏🏽👏🏽 well said. I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Everything I thought and felt you put into words amazingly. Thank you 🙏🏽
@@ElissaStark514 I remember the 80's. Lived close to San Francisco and men telling you they were going down to the city to party on a weekend night instead of going to the local bars with the rest of us was pretty much how they acknowledged they were gay. You knew they were going to the city for the gay club orgies during a time when you couldn't convince them to wear protection plus there were people targeting and killing gays so scary times. First person I knew to die of AIDS barely even made it into the 1980's (really the second but the first was the father of a friend who contracted it through a blood transfusion before it was known that could occur - he was on his death bed when they figured it out so was tested in the end but remember the addition of blood transfusions as a way HIV/AIDS could spread adding to all the fears about it). Freddie was far from alone in being reckless during the height of the AIDS epidemic but he was definitely a big loss.
@@Katy-ne2xh wonder how this virus even emerged all of a sudden in the 80s. So strange . Many gay men died. It's so sad. Many gay men like Freddie were having unprotected sex as the virus was not set in to have any understanding of fear I guess.
John Deacon went out for pizza and forgot his riff and Roger Taylor remembered it. That's actually very interesting. John Reid describing how, at Live Aid, backstage, 'They're stealing the show!'. Memorable. This excellent feature needs to be remastered. What a fitting tribute to Queen, Freddie Mercury and to all the good people appearing in this masterpiece.
it’s sad to think we haven’t heard or seen anything from Freddie for nearly 3 decades but hes still known worldwide to this day and bohemian rhapsody, a song no one believed would ever make it on the radio is still playing on it till this day. his life was cut to short but i truly feel he would rather us celebrate his life then fill our head with “what if’s” and “could be’s” and only think about how much he could have still done and seen as well as enjoyed, freddie was more then anyone could imagine and was truly a whole other breed of a frontman. He was also extremely charismatic, he had a wonderful stage presence even just during recording sessions, and could control billions of people with a flick of his wrist. i truly ever doubt he ever thought that if he asked their audience to sing or do anything they wouldn’t, and i doubt it ever actually happened. there’s no doubt in my mind that he regretted the life he lived before he left us, he accomplished so much more then most and was so much to so many people and still is. we all miss you Mercury and we always will, you were right you were always meant to be a legend and will always be.
I too watched Queen on the television and cried when Freddie died. I never saw them , no excuse I had four kids and couldn’t afford it! I only saw Freddie and the Dreamers with a free ticket and Peter Gabriel when I was at university, I always wanted to see Queen . You never know I might get to see them yet but Freddie Mercury will live forever on the television and of course U Tube Thank you to all those people who kindly in most cases took videos when he was alive,
Well, jim morrison, Prince, Michael Jackson, George Michael. ...I love Freddie, and won't take anything from him, but there are other greats. Oh, but if you strictly mean 2018, yeah.
My ears won't allow to me accept that there is any other masterpiece better than "Somebody to Love". Timeless music..I wasn't even thought of when this song was released my mother at the time was 6 (1976). Born in the 90s and I adore this song
I've seen Queen five times, and each time was better than the first time I saw them! Freddie Mercury was a great showman there will never be another Freddie Mercury, R.I.P. His voice was a gift for all!
So many innocent, vibrant, wonderful men died during the plague years. I wept when Freddie died. I never knew he didn't tour the US because I listened to Queen from Queen 2 on from '1974 on. My big brother introduced me to them. Our whole family loved Queen, to this day. Now I'm in my mid-50's, and Queen is still the greatest band in the world, and for me, Freddie Mercury is the best Rock singer songwriter of all time! 10/2018.
Queen did tour the states for a while. I saw them in 1978 and again in 1980. Amazing in concert. I still remember how close I was to him, only 2 rows away.
They were-and still are the greatest band. Roger and Brian's words make the story so poignant. I cried my eyes out --again--after watching this wonderful tribute.
Freddie Mercury is still alive and Queen reigns Supreme then and now!! Nothing else can come close to their music as each individual is 👍 👌 and we will always love ❤️ 😍 them and will never forget Freddie Mercury!
I'm crying like a toddler right now. There will never ever ever ever be another Freddie Mercury. He feeds my soul. A legend for all time. Long live the KING of Queen. The LEGEND.
When I had a crush on Roger as a pre-teen, I had no idea what sort of a person he could be. Whenever he opens his mouth in this documentary, he keeps amazing me. Such comraderie, assertiveness, outspokenness, bravado, balls... I'm glad he was my first crush :)
In 1985 I was on a Canadian navel ship that docked into South Hampton. I had no clue that he was playing live aid. Missed one of the concerts of the decade
Freddy, I have no words to describe how much you have done and touched my heart ♥ in so many ways... He's gone physically, but he's always here with us no matter what... Queen 👑 is such a great super talented team.... All the way through, Till the end.... Thanks for all your magnificent work 😊
Quite simply...I miss everything about Freddie!😢 It still hurts my heart...a constant area of pain whenever I listen, watch, or think of him. It will never diminish. 💔🥺💔
When I was 13 years old and " Radio Ga Ga" and "I Want To Break Free" came out in 1984 I really didn't like the songs much!!!! I was more partial to Queens heavier guitar dominated songs!!!! When I saw the video for "I want to break free" I thought it was hilarious!!!!! Total comedy!!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣🙂🙂😊😊🙂😀. Now that I am 50 years old I like "Radio Ga Ga" and "I Want To Break Free" more than ever!!!!🙂🙂😊😊😋 I kind of embraced all of the Queen catalog of songs!!!! I am Die Hard fan!!!! I learned to appreciate the fact that Queens music had a mixture of different styles of music within their songs!!!! As long as Their music had the melodies and over the top vocals and over the top production sound!!!! They were the best band of "Live Aid" 1985!!!! Hands Down!!!!!🙂😀🙂😊🙂😊🙂🤗🤗🤗😄😁☺️👍👍😄👍👍👍
1:06....says everything about their character ...simply put...these are 4 innately good people..each on their own..who valued & never disrespected their bond as a family..never hesitated to stand up with their brother & stayed fiercely LOYAL to him no matter what. That's what FAMILY is all about! They don't make MEN like that anymore. They can't..these MEN broke the mold. I luv that!
You should look up the videos that are of Brian & Roger doing interviews one week after Freddie's death to try and set some of the record straight because the tabloids were being just fucking monstrous. Their unflinching loyalty and even their very subtle rage at how the papers were disgracing Freddie's legacy, is just phenomenal. Their love shines through so poignantly, it's beautiful.
Queen are a magical journey all together! A band out of this world! This can't happen twice! I have been a fan for 30 years since I was 10 . It's good the movie got many of the newbies into them! The whole band are geniuses . It's not just Freddie
![Queen - Ballads [1 hour long]](/img/n.gif)
“I’m going to be a legend!” No truer words were ever spoken! Freddie was phenomenal!!
He said, "I am a legend". Not he was going to be. He already was!
And still is...
@@evawelty4634 And always will be.
And he was really right !!! Death at a young age also made him a legend
AMEN AMEN!! HE ALREADY KNEW.. THATS SO DIVINE. RIP FREDDIE MERCURY
After watching the movie I have fallen into a Queen hole and I am very happy about it
Nicole Karan me to 😊
Me too... i can't stop
Same!
Yes, I was in that hole a long time ago, but somehow got out - but I'm back in it and definitely loving Queen music again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nearly 4 decades later and no-one has outdone the LiveAid appearance. The band demonstrated to everyone how to steal the show, and Freddie showed the whole world that he was and still is the "God" of stage presence.
Simply put, this is the definition of the word, “LEGEND” ❤❤😢😢RIP God bless you ❤

I can honestly understand why my older sister was sobbing when Freddie Mercury had passed. He was a phenominal artist & entertainer! I have watched the movie, "Bohemian Rhapsody" at least 7 or 8 times! And I'd watch it again if I see it on the t.v. guide! He truly is a legend!

You dont ever, under no circumstances, want to get on rogers bad side
Genuine caring❤
@@tsitracommunications2884 Like a mother lion.
I think Brian was kind of jealous at Freddie for unintentionally taking all the credit of the songs they made together.
You can only love Freddie's energy and what he brought to his fans over and over was fanominal. That is why today, 32 years later,he is still an icon on our lips.

the group changed and was stupendous ❗️❤️

The Greatest Band of All Time that produced the most iconic songs ever.Their music transcended generations be it in the big sporting events,movie soundtracks and covered by thousands of aspiring pro singers.Their music will live forever!
In my small town in bible-belt USA in the 70s and 80s, it wasn't allowed (all the preachers railed against them and forbade parents to allow their kids to listen to them) and definitely not cool to listen to a band named Queen with a front man like Freddie. Thankfully I had some uncool friends and we loved Queen. We'd sneak around to one another's houses to listen to the only album we owned "A Night at the Opera" that one of us had convinced our parents was actually opera. We had Bohemian Rhapsody down so well that we would walk around the halls in school singing it out loud from different parts of the school. Those were some good times... still missing you, Freddie.
What town was that?
Ravyne Hawke you had some amazing friends

Thanks for being a supporter of my passion
Since 1983... Listening " A Night at the Opera" I found something new in my 15'...and I'm still there
Here's the thing about Freddie: he's a legendary, incredible stage presence and simultaneously he's so....human! I smile from ear to ear everytime I watch him! 👑
A coin has two sides, can't be separated.
I was born in Nov. of 1949. I graduated high school at 16 and went to college, then on to be a flight attendant. I have to say I was so lucky to have been born when I was. Queen was incredible, as was Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Beach Boys, and on and on. And yes, I did inhale! lol Now I'm almost 69 years old....Time flies when you have incredible memories of concerts in those days!! I feel so lucky!
U r so lucky I was born in 1983 I wish I was from your time must have been fun
Demand, it was & still is! We are still living “back in the day” seeing the same concerts, some of us doing the same things, just doing it a little slower. So thankful there continues to be repeat “last tours”. Last time we saw the Stones, Mick said it was the ‘catch ‘em before they croak’ concert. It was a fantastic 3 day concert - all headliners, in the desert 2 years back. How they got them all at one time was amazing. You can live part of the ‘olden days’. 👍
@@demaan3357 OMG was it ever! I was 15 when the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show! Can you imagine? I remember the Beach Boys being a big part of my teenage years too. Then college brought on more music like Led Zeppelin (and yes, I did inhale!)! lol. Thanks for your nice comment!
@@wendymcgar4610 What a great comment...Thanks! I'm still so pissed off that Fleetwood Mac fired Lindsey. He is sooo hot, still!! They made a huge mistake doing that....They will never be the same without him! I would have loved to have seen the concert you referred to. Yes, those were the days!
I was born in 1974 and I always say that I was born in the wrong generation because of my lifelong love (OK, obsession) with the music of the '60s and '70s. I'm a Beatles superfan but I also love Zeppelin, Floyd, Bowie, Heart, Hendrix, and QUEEN! I'm insanely jealous of anyone who got to see these bands live. Granted, I have my own great concert memories of Gen-X bands like Pearl Jam and Radiohead, but it doesn't feel quite the same. Baby Boomers had the best music. 😊
what a beautiful man, Freddie was. What an absolute LEGEND.
He will.always be a legend too 🎸
"I'm not going to be a pop star... I'm going to be a legend."
So we can add clairvoyance to Freddie's abilities? 😅
Laura Lurex I read your comment just as he said it- *chills*
They always know
It was Kharma - I think Freddie instinctively knew that he would be a Rock legend some day, and gladly for us he and the boys stuck to it despite massive opposition from the music press and greedy managers - giving the world the greatest rock band ever seen, and heard !
And you are darling Freddie, always!😃
Still the greatest frontman of all time. And, really, it's not even close. Freddie was amazing. I always felt bad for John Deacon because he had tremendous difficulty carrying on musically after Freddie died. John tried. He really tried. But I think the pain of losing Freddie was so great that he had to find other ways of dealing with that pain than trying to carry on the Queen banner. I can't imagine that level of pain and living with it for 30 years. I hope he's at least found some peace. And watching videos and documentaries sure makes my heart feel good remembering all the good things the band brought to this world.
@patrickdempsey7952 I agree. John still hasn't gotten over Freddie's death. For him it was too painful to carry on. For me, that incredible sound and atmosphere of "Queen" died with Freddie. No disrespect to Adam Lambert, who has an amazing voice, but the magic is gone.
@@melmatthews5876 absolutely agree
"WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME, DON'T THINK WE ARE FAR APART. FOR EVERY TIME YOU THINK OF ME, I AM RIGHT HERE INSIDE YOUR HEART"
He was right…He did become a Legend!
He would have always been a legend I just wish he had lived to see himself become one
Holy shit i read this at the exact time that it was mentioned!! 0.0
@@aprilgosa5779 He already knew that he was one. The Live Aid concert was everything:)
Queens bicycle race
April Gosa he knew he was one queen at one point was the regatear band in the world so he lived to see the peak of the fame and he knew that
They need to make a Freddie Mercury halogram show. The entire WORLD misses this man. 27 years later... and we're still grieving
YES, YES, YES! It would be massive! I saw a show like that with Elvis, so I'm not sure why it hasn't already been done.
Omg yes!! I want to go to the up coming Queen concert. Even tho i love Brian and Roger its never gonna be as great without Freddie.
I totally agree. I would love that.
I was thinking that this morning. Just get rid of Adam Lambert-I mean who are we kidding? It would sell out worldwide for sure.
28 years and I bet that it will be a good 50 more years
Its amazing how much a movie has opened your eyes to the greatest singer ever
Well said. I always liked a handful of their songs but after watching the movie I became a fan. Freddie was a great singer and Brian is a fantastic guitar player but one thing people seem to overlook is the fact that they can ALL sing. That is not typical in a rock band.
@@mag-nm7tw 3 of the 4 anyway. Deacon sang on a couple songs but May, Taylor, and obviously Freddie all had solo gigs as well.
Deaky never sang. Mimed on the videos.
@@dasparado that movie didn’t have it right and made Freddie look bad wrong facts only good thing was hearing Freddie’s voice, Freddie would never beg anyone to take him back lol plus other wrong facts-Freddie made Queen there’s no more Queen without him. The actors were great but that’s Hollywood very surprised Brian and Roger went along with that script….for Freddie’s sake knowing the truth
“I’m not gonna be a pop star. I’m gonna be…
A LEGEND.”
"Don't bother coming because he's gone." I can only imagine how much that must have hurt for Roger 😢
That part was what really got me, so damn heartbreaking.. I was watching this thinking of how he talked about the nosy press and all that, how he really must've cared about him, and then this happens. It's just too sad, poor Roger
Really sad, i was crying on that moment 😟 Roger was only 3000 yards from Freddie. I can imagine how he was devastated about the fact he didn't come on time
That was the worst part, and the music they played while he's saying it is heartbreaking.
And you can clearly see in this video that Roger is damn near in tears when he says that too because he's probably remembering that day too
You can see the sadness in his face when Roger says that.
It’s impossible for me to watch this and not cry. Now seeing the tribute concert, and George and Bowie are gone, it’s heartbreaking. They will all live on forever.
Thanks for being a supporter of my passion
I am sorry that they say they lost America. I am a black american female and i love and support Queen. And admire Freddie Mercury, he is one of my most favorite humans.
I wish he could just come back. It’s so painful to realize how close he was to living so much longer. He’s an inspiration in so many ways , not only as a musician, but as a human being who fully committed to who he was.
Paige Westerfield Hello Paige how are you doing ?
Thanks for being a supporter of my passion
If you're not in tears by the end of this, you don't have a pulse. God Bless Queen! The Show Must Go On!
I didn't like Paul Rogers as the singer because his type of voice was so different. But I thought Adam Lambert did a great job. I saw them in 2017 and it was great!h
Sure as shit, 5 minutes left in this and I'm wiping away tears.
@@jol7486 I cry at the end of every video I see about Queen,
I'm in tears all the time I think of Freddie and his no longer being with us😭
Misti You took the words out of my mouth. I just breaks my heart. I never fully appreciated just what a great person he was. I regret that very much now, all these years later. 💔
The last 10 minutes hurt my heart. Now David Bowie is gone and so is George Michael. So many great on and off stage personalities we’ve lost. Music will go on forever and I’m so thankful for that. All hail Queen.
I felt the same!
Heaven must be an amazing place with all these angels!
I was just thinking the same,..he started after idolizing jimi hendrix...who died too young as well..gone so sad
I'm in total agreement with EVERYTHING stated here!! 💜💛
I was gutted when Bowie died
In 100 to 300 years people will learn about Queen like we learn about Mozart and Bach
❤ I suck I second that
I second that statement above., I discovered the screen when I was in high school in nineteen seventy four..
I am 62 years old now.
And I am completely fixated on every aspect of the creation of Queen. I am convinced. That people, for hundreds of years from now, we'll be studying.The techniques that fretty used to write, It was quite a bit of discipline involved and they worked there booties off to create queen two I vividly remember. I can't think of two men that deserve it more, Is then brian, And Roger to have the opportunity to rule the world before I leave this world. It is absolutely appropriate. Queen forever. 🎉Kelly jo

He was a magical man. His voice is undeniably amazing and no one can sing like him. No one.

Freddie Mercury is and will forever be one of the greatest singers and entertainers but everyone forgets about the bsnd. Brian, roger and john. They all helped create one of the best sounds in the world. I mean, Brian May is one of the best guitarists in the world in his own right.
Long live Queen
Very true. They were the right people together at the right time, and they made history. Any praise is well deserved for them all. I grew up on their music, we had Night At The Opera and News Of The World on vinyl and wore them tf out. Think about how universally recognized We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody are.
*Long live Queen* !!!
that guy D
I'm with you "That Guy". They had to be together to discover their true strength in my opinion.
Freddie himself said many times that it wasn't about him, it was about the band. He never tried to take credit as being the band's leader, he was quoted at a press conference as correcting a reporter by saying, "I am not the band's leader, I am just the lead singer." They were all Queen. All class acts and amazingly talented artists.
completely agree.
I was glad to see the smile on Brian's face as George Michael was singing "Somebody to Love" The guys needed to feel some relief from their loss and this concert clearly helped.

"oh i've got a few more galileos, dear"
i had to stop the video and laugh but that was what went into one of the most iconic song in history
George Michael and David Bowie performing at his tribute show had me in tears. Just amazing 💔💜😢😢
Roni R now both are singing with Freddy in music heaven!
I had the same reaction...Rock n Roll Heaven!
Bowie kneeling to recite the Lord's prayer was beautiful. I'll remember this scene, maybe forever.
I remember seeing the show on tv here in america. when Liza Minnelli sang we are the champions, I smiled. Freddie loved her. it was a loving tribute to him. the whole show was.
@@monapause8108 yes my brother and I watched the full concert on tv, it went well past midnight EST, unknown to our parents who thought the kids were asleep
Beautiful man .. beautiful group. And no I'm not a fan but like everyone i love their songs, I grew up with queen.
Queen is legend and nobody will be close .. Freddie and band are legends
.
"we're going to stay together until we die" true to his word.
I remember going to pick my sister up from high school and hearing that he passed on the radio and getting really sad and numb for a moment.
Loved Bohemian Rhapsody. I miss him and never met him. Amazing human being.
gmadiva enjoy retirement sure you mad to keep going 💪💪🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘😘🍺🍺🤗
Don't feel bad, I never saw them Live either, One of my regrets.
There will never be another band like Queen! They were the masters of their craft! ❤ RIP Freddie
They will never die, they are legends and future generations will look at them like we look back on Beethoven, Mozart and other great musicians. While we play their music and remember them they are alive.
Thanks for being a supporter of my passion
There will never be another Freddie. Absolute rock God.
My dear old mum, who died two years ago loved Queen, and in particular Freddie. She didn't discriminate against anyone no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation. She loved the music so much. When I hear Queen I think about mum. Great memories. Great band.
Anthony Monaghan best in the world
God bless. Your mom and Freddie are singing in the cosmos together. Beautiful.
God Bless You & your Mum!
I'm 78 yrs old and Queen is my favourite
God Bless.Deb🙏
George Michael did great to fill in for Freddie, and David Bowie doing that beautiful prayer. Rest In Peace, you wonderful singers.
David Bowie , saying the prayer, at that moment made audience 🙏 aware we're here on earth as we're created by our Father, The Lord
If Freddie had a quote in life: Music is to live and to die for.
Forgot to add that the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert was spectacular. It was everything we've come to expect from Queen. There was grandeur in the Freddie style and Brian's role as MC that evening was nothing short of astounding. He not only rose to the occasion but shone like a supernova. Freddie would have been immensely proud of him, sending him off in true Freddie Mercury style. Roger and John contributed their support but it was Brian taking the lead, singing, playing keyboard and guitar of course. It was also heartwarming to see the love from so many celebrities that participated. The one thing that was crystal clear was the complexity of Queen's music - I don't think a single musician that night went unchallenged. It was an eyeopener of how amazing Freddie and Queen were. Thankfully that concert is still available on DVD and so worth buying. It stirs the soul.
And in response to Brian's comment about initiation into being a rock star... the same can be said for fans... once you let rock into your soul it is there forever more and never leaves you... especially when what you love is as special as Queen. Roger, we're the lucky ones that Queen were who they were individually and as a group. That final song on the documentary says it all... Queen - it's a kind of magic!
What a masterpiece... NOBODY has ever reached the energy that IS Freddie Mercury... Rest in power, sir.
The man had a throat infection and still killed it at Live Aid!! Today’s so-called « singers » can’t even carry a tune in their pockets!! Love live Freddie! Long Live Queen, Brian, Roger, and John, you’re number 1!!
Yap, not singers.
It usually take 10, 8 to 11 years for hiv to turn into aids so freddie may had been infected either in 77 78 79 or 82
Wow, I didn't know that is what he had. I heard he wasn't feeling well and drank some vodka. Now I understand why. He killed it that day.
I saw Queen live once which was his last live performance with the band. August 9th 1986 is a day I’ll never forget
He died the year I was born 1991. I never really knew much about his music, heard some songs but never gave it much thought. But now thanks to the movie, I'm like non stop watching all the videos I can, thanks to CZcams . I'm hooked.
Точно сказано, подсаживаешься на квинов!!!
He was right.....he became a legend, born for stardom 🖤
Ignoring the normal band disagreements & "spats" these guys had over the years... the AFFECTION these band members CLEARLY had for each other was (and continues to be) INSPIRING, ENDEARING & ENCOURAGING!!
Family is family
Yes, absolutely!
Dennis Cassley I got the same thing from these documentaries and after reading all the comments about the movie I went and watched it and didn’t really get that at all from the movie. If that movie was my first introduction to Queen I don’t think I’d have really became a fan. I didn’t think Freddie was portrayed as very likable either.
Watching them laugh and play with each other on stage was so unique, it was pretty incredible.
@@mcearl8073 , yes, the movie was horrible. Very insulting to Freddie's memory.
My daughter (she is now 14) and i would rock out to ‘We will Rock You’, We are the Champions, and more when sitting in traffic- i remember her sitting in the back of the car in her car seat slapping the sides the bringing her hands above her head to clap as i did the same in the front seat, on the dashboard and the steering wheel yelling ‘ WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU’ when she was 2-3. Twenty years before that, i was standing in the bleachers of my high school stomping to the same song with hundreds of other classmates after our team won a big football game. Long before that, as a girl i listened to Bohemian Rhapsody at a friends house doing a school project: whose older brother was my first crush. Today, at 50, listening to Days of our Lives and realizing Queen was the soundtrack to my life.💔 Thank you Queen. I love you.

That incredible look of his eye 👁️ at the end when he said l still love u..an Wave 👋..it was so heart warming God bless Freddie Mercury so as his friends
It's 2018 and I am still loving and missing Freddie.
Alvalanker EX Freddie died before I was born and I feel like I miss him a lot! He’s the late artist I wish I could have seen live the most.
@Adelaide McMillan good point technology today is brilliant I'd be lost without watching amazing artistry.
@@LeSensuel i was 5 years old when he died but i understand what you mean . I'm glad you love them.
Samuel Hudon hi! I saw the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and I fell head over hills with Queen especially Freddie. I know the popular queen songs but I have no idea how the band looks like or Freddie. After I saw the movie, I had to google the real Queen. Watched all the CZcams documentary and everything that’s out there. I couldn’t get enough! I love everything about the queen and Freddie... they are all very amazingly talented, brilliant musician. My daughter who is 13 love them and there music. We start learning Bohemian Rhapsody on piano, we love it! Oh how I wish he was still with his Band making music.
Alvalanker EX--We know and understand what you are saying. It cuts deep.
It was tough watching the video when Freddy was so gaunt and ill. He was such a talented guy. He gave us his voice til he couldn't anymore. RIP Freddy and best wishes to the rest of Queen.
Its such a shame he couldn't live longer
*Freddie
Here I am, blubbering like a baby for a man who died 27 years ago. I hope with all my heart that when My time comes I'll face death with as much bravery and grace as Freddie did.
AMEN! IM SO WITH YOU! RIP, OUR GENTLE FRIEND!😃
I was fortunate to see queen in 1977 in Boston....
I was born in 1977 been a fan ever since!!!!
Oh, Freddy, you didn’t lose America. I grew up with you.
Freddie*
Seeing Queen at Live-Aid was the greatest 18 minutes of my life (Don't tell my wife!!!!!!!) It turned out to be the greatest comeback in entertainment history. Then, exactly a year later, we were back at Wembley for their masterpiece. No-one on earth ever had Freddie's stage presence - he could 'work' 100 000 people with a single gesture.
I was never a fan of George Michael but I have to say - nobody else on the planet could have pulled that off - incredible
Sad fact: George Michael's partner was just diagnosed with AIDS as he was up there singing at the tribute. He was in the audience & George was trying to hold it together onstage while performing for Freddie who just died of the disease.
:(
Dude I wont tell your wife. I promise. Its SaaS what aids does but I believe Freddie is with us in another form. His spirit is still here
Chris Cross Michael Jackson had biggest crowds and they would faint before the show started. Freedie was great but Michael was magic and Michael fans are the most loyal. No one commanded the stage or the audiences like Michael.
I watched Live-Aid all day. Queen's set stood out for me.
@@whysoserious6685 no comparison between Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson, who was choreographed and not one bit involved with his audience.
3 words Fred , I love you
I'm so glad I was alive when Freddie Mercury was in the world. I grew up listening to Queen's music and it has always brought me great joy and a host of other emotions. Each member of the band is astonishingly gifted. Adam Lambert is an amazing performer but for me that "Queen sound", and magic, died with the superhuman force that was Freddie Mercury.
Definitely. I have been to a Queen and Adam Lambert show, as I was too young to see Queen live, it meant the world to see Brian and Roger perform, they gave me goosebumps. I was skeptical about Adam Lambert but he actually put on a great show and he is very talented in own right, but Freddie is irreplaceable and nobody could ever match his sheer talent.
Adam is a great entertainer and brings his style to queen's music but there will ever only be one Freddie Mercury
I knew this band was special back in the 70's when they first came out there was nobody like them and today still nobody can touch them what a super band
Yes, Freddie was reckless... but God He was brave. A true artist and icon.
Kennedy Greer what are you talking about? Most humans are reckless. What does that have to do with anything?
kara karshner are you kidding me? You must not have lived through the 80’s. You sound young. Read or listen to the 15 hour book “Somebody To Love,” about how everyone was constantly warning him to slow down, and at least use protection, and he said “fuck it! I’m doing everything with everybody!” I was so upset with him reading that, because I wish he were still here! Of course people are reckless every, single day, in every single way, but he was living in a completely hedonistic way during the HEIGHT of the AIDS epidemic. He knew he was going to get it, and he was both scared of that, and thought he’d escape it, so he did it ALL anyway, and at the end, he was so ill that he was blind and had lost a foot. Excuse me for feeling sorrow at such a HORRID ending for such a beautiful person. I was expressing sorrow that he was self destructive, having hundreds of sexual partners, unprotected, during the time of no cure, because I adore him, and I miss him! He was on a path of destruction, but in the end, he faced it so bravely. It just didn’t have to happen. I think he never came to terms fully with his life, and was depressed in his private life, which I hate. Anyway, this wasn’t “regular” crazy kid recklessness. We aren’t talking about jaywalking. We’re talking dozens and dozens of gay club orgies with no protection, when “gay cancer” was suddenly killing everyone.
@@ElissaStark514 wow 👏🏽👏🏽 well said. I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Everything I thought and felt you put into words amazingly. Thank you 🙏🏽
@@ElissaStark514 I remember the 80's. Lived close to San Francisco and men telling you they were going down to the city to party on a weekend night instead of going to the local bars with the rest of us was pretty much how they acknowledged they were gay. You knew they were going to the city for the gay club orgies during a time when you couldn't convince them to wear protection plus there were people targeting and killing gays so scary times. First person I knew to die of AIDS barely even made it into the 1980's (really the second but the first was the father of a friend who contracted it through a blood transfusion before it was known that could occur - he was on his death bed when they figured it out so was tested in the end but remember the addition of blood transfusions as a way HIV/AIDS could spread adding to all the fears about it). Freddie was far from alone in being reckless during the height of the AIDS epidemic but he was definitely a big loss.
@@Katy-ne2xh wonder how this virus even emerged all of a sudden in the 80s. So strange . Many gay men died. It's so sad. Many gay men like Freddie were having unprotected sex as the virus was not set in to have any understanding of fear I guess.
John Deacon went out for pizza and forgot his riff and Roger Taylor remembered it. That's actually very interesting. John Reid describing how, at Live Aid, backstage, 'They're stealing the show!'. Memorable. This excellent feature needs to be remastered. What a fitting tribute to Queen, Freddie Mercury and to all the good people appearing in this masterpiece.
it’s sad to think we haven’t heard or seen anything from Freddie for nearly 3 decades but hes still known worldwide to this day and bohemian rhapsody, a song no one believed would ever make it on the radio is still playing on it till this day. his life was cut to short but i truly feel he would rather us celebrate his life then fill our head with “what if’s” and “could be’s” and only think about how much he could have still done and seen as well as enjoyed, freddie was more then anyone could imagine and was truly a whole other breed of a frontman. He was also extremely charismatic, he had a wonderful stage presence even just during recording sessions, and could control billions of people with a flick of his wrist. i truly ever doubt he ever thought that if he asked their audience to sing or do anything they wouldn’t, and i doubt it ever actually happened. there’s no doubt in my mind that he regretted the life he lived before he left us, he accomplished so much more then most and was so much to so many people and still is. we all miss you Mercury and we always will, you were right you were always meant to be a legend and will always be.
YESSSSSSSS! Thank you so very much for your reply
Beautiful sentiments about Freddie! I share your feelings! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I too watched Queen on the television and cried when Freddie died. I never saw them , no excuse I had four kids and couldn’t afford it! I only saw Freddie and the Dreamers with a free ticket and Peter Gabriel when I was at university, I always wanted to see Queen . You never know I might get to see them yet but Freddie Mercury will live forever on the television and of course U Tube Thank you to all those people who kindly in most cases took videos when he was alive,
Not one band or singer can compare to Queen & Freddie today, 2018. Not ONE.
Elvis , Bowie , Barbra , Lesley Gore are amazing to me anyway
@@postersandstuff Wasn't clear, sorry. In the current, present 2018 music industry.
Totally agree Sunkissed748
AGREE!!!
Well, jim morrison, Prince, Michael Jackson, George Michael. ...I love Freddie, and won't take anything from him, but there are other greats. Oh, but if you strictly mean 2018, yeah.
The best band ever 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
My ears won't allow to me accept that there is any other masterpiece better than "Somebody to Love". Timeless music..I wasn't even thought of when this song was released my mother at the time was 6 (1976). Born in the 90s and I adore this song
Well it is pure magnificence! :)
All I can say in this documentary: Queen will never die.
Non moriranno mai mai mai
this was a classy documentary
Today's bands need autotune, laser lights, fancy choreography and wild backgrounds. Queen was four guys on a bare stage.
Its true
I've seen Queen five times, and each time was better than the first time I saw them! Freddie Mercury was a great showman there will never be another Freddie Mercury, R.I.P. His voice was a gift for all!
september 5, 2019 anyone? 😊 happy birthday freddie 🥳🎉🎊
So many innocent, vibrant, wonderful men died during the plague years. I wept when Freddie died. I never knew he didn't tour the US because I listened to Queen from Queen 2 on from '1974 on. My big brother introduced me to them. Our whole family loved Queen, to this day. Now I'm in my mid-50's, and Queen is still the greatest band in the world, and for me, Freddie Mercury is the best Rock singer songwriter of all time! 10/2018.
Queen did tour the states for a while. I saw them in 1978 and again in 1980. Amazing in concert. I still remember how close I was to him, only 2 rows away.
They toured the states, just not later in their career.
Who's here after watching Bohemian Rhapsody movie?
Loved the movie! I cried
I’ve seen it twice this week!
I cried at the movie!
I’ve seen it twice!
Yi Xi me! Loved it!
At 12 years old I bought "A Night At The Opera" when it first hit the store shelves...the rest is history :)
They were-and still are the greatest band. Roger and Brian's words make the story so poignant. I cried my eyes out --again--after watching this wonderful tribute.
Thanks for being a supporter of my passion
Freddie Mercury is still alive and Queen reigns Supreme then and now!! Nothing else can come close to their music as each individual is 👍 👌 and we will always love ❤️ 😍 them and will never forget Freddie Mercury!
Always amazed at Freddies voice live......when talented artists didn't need to use autotune.....
SO TRUE! Artist now days couldn't pull off a live performance like Queen did it !!
FMHammyJ download Freddie Mercury most popular music
well said.
No but they used a shit ton of layering and over dub
best band ever
I'm crying like a toddler right now. There will never ever ever ever be another Freddie Mercury. He feeds my soul. A legend for all time. Long live the KING of Queen. The LEGEND.
I'm here 2020. Anyone else? God bless queen .
if someone gave me a chance to go back and see 1 band in history live..Queen would be hard to pass up on.
I know. Queen, and Deep Purple would be my picks.
Queen and Led Zeppelin would be mine.
Yeah, Led Zeppelin also would be right up there !
The Beatles.
King Kenny you wouldn’t even be able to hear them though
When I had a crush on Roger as a pre-teen, I had no idea what sort of a person he could be. Whenever he opens his mouth in this documentary, he keeps amazing me. Such comraderie, assertiveness, outspokenness, bravado, balls... I'm glad he was my first crush :)
Andrea Bezdan Absolutely! He's highly intelligent and always a perfect gentleman.
He's so damn cute!
he was the promiscuous one of the band, he'd fuck any woman that he ran into..he lived the total rock star life...
Andrea Bezdan I just think he’s amazing and always will
Don't you know, you can't say shit without offending someone. F 'em.
In 1985 I was on a Canadian navel ship that docked into South Hampton. I had no clue that he was playing live aid.
Missed one of the concerts of the decade
Freddy,
I have no words to describe how much you have done and touched my heart ♥ in so many ways...
He's gone physically, but he's always here with us no matter what...
Queen 👑 is such a great super talented team....
All the way through,
Till the end....
Thanks for all your magnificent work 😊
Greatest rock band of all time no question
Freddie Mercury, "Lover of life - Singer of songs". We failed to appreciate your genius until you were gone. Miss you. ❤️
A lot of us appreciated his genius from the 70's onwards
Quite simply...I miss everything about Freddie!😢 It still hurts my heart...a constant area of pain whenever I listen, watch, or think of him. It will never diminish. 💔🥺💔
When I was 13 years old and " Radio Ga Ga" and "I Want To Break Free" came out in 1984 I really didn't like the songs much!!!! I was more partial to Queens heavier guitar dominated songs!!!! When I saw the video for "I want to break free" I thought it was hilarious!!!!! Total comedy!!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣🙂🙂😊😊🙂😀. Now that I am 50 years old I like "Radio Ga Ga" and "I Want To Break Free" more than ever!!!!🙂🙂😊😊😋 I kind of embraced all of the Queen catalog of songs!!!! I am Die Hard fan!!!! I learned to appreciate the fact that Queens music had a mixture of different styles of music within their songs!!!! As long as Their music had the melodies and over the top vocals and over the top production sound!!!! They were the best band of "Live Aid" 1985!!!! Hands Down!!!!!🙂😀🙂😊🙂😊🙂🤗🤗🤗😄😁☺️👍👍😄👍👍👍
1:06....says everything about their character ...simply put...these are 4 innately good people..each on their own..who valued & never disrespected their bond as a family..never hesitated to stand up with their brother & stayed fiercely LOYAL to him no matter what. That's what FAMILY is all about! They don't make MEN like that anymore. They can't..these MEN broke the mold. I luv that!
You should look up the videos that are of Brian & Roger doing interviews one week after Freddie's death to try and set some of the record straight because the tabloids were being just fucking monstrous. Their unflinching loyalty and even their very subtle rage at how the papers were disgracing Freddie's legacy, is just phenomenal. Their love shines through so poignantly, it's beautiful.
I wish they could have been forever young and immortal.
I wish we could capture 1985 and continually live there..
Mini3005 These videos make them immortal...
Jim Bakelaar I was there and was 22 years old. It wasn’t perfect but a lot more innocent
@@cattmarshall118 I was 25...
they are forever immortal
What a great documentary! There will never be another like Freddie.
Queen are a magical journey all together!
A band out of this world!
This can't happen twice!
I have been a fan for 30 years since I was 10 .
It's good the movie got many of the newbies into them!
The whole band are geniuses .
It's not just Freddie
