Whenever there's a Queen night this is how all the men dress up as Freddie ...such an iconic and British video....Coronation Street...lol ❤😂
GUYS….
Just last month, for the FIRST time, Queen actually had a famous concert of theirs shown in IMAX theatres!
(It had originally been filmed back in 1981 with high HD film that would enable it to be shown in 3D, then the project had “stalled”.)
When the IMAX showings took place recently - it was only for one 4-day weekend - IDK how broadly it was advertised/how many folks were aware of it, so IDK what the attendance numbers were…
HOPEFULLY they’ll run it again sometime, because it’s an opportunity to see FREDDIE MERCURY, LARGER THAN LIFE IN 3D, for only around $20 per ticket!!!🤯
The reason they were dressed up as Women was because a TV Programme called Coronation Street had been going on about Women's Liberation for ages. Queen were taking the micky. NO Freddie Impressionist is anything like Freddie, you can tell that straight away. 'Time Waits For No One' was brought out after Freddie's Death and it is such a Meaningful Song. You should look it up.
Btw. John deacon (the base) wrote the song and roger taylor the drummer insisted they play in drag. ❤
It was a slice of British the life with the grandmother the unsatisfied housewife the schoolgirl and the unmarried very sexually active woman. 😂😂😂
I wish when reacting to these films that reactors would acknowledge the other three band members. Roger, Brian and John. Because Mercury was nothing without the other 3. And visa versa. The four of them are Queen. John Deacon wrote this song.
Good job guys! Please react to Queen’s Dragon Attack luce version from Montreal 1981 concert🤘
This is the video that lost the band their American audience! The start is a parody of a long running UK soap, about the day to day hard slog life in a Northern town, hence the person wanting to break free, and not just Freddy's sexuality, as a lot of people thought when they saw him dressed like that. Oh, and Roger Taylor as a school girl is so cute! Queen are still touring, just recently in Japan.
Sad isn't it. USA missed out on so much just by being so prudish and unable to see a joke. 🙁😟
Ye,,,,, without freddie that's not the same but of course they are fenomenal band Adam Lampert is cool but he is bot freddie brian may is legendary quitar player and singer and very talented musician ye,, you're right doesn't work without freddie ❤👍

It seems MTV had it out for Queen considering the Body Language video had been banned prior to this one. Some Like it Hot, Milton Berle, Flip Wilson, Tootsie, Bosom Buddies are some comedy drag examples of popular shows/entertainers enjoyed by Americans prior to 1984. The video would likely have been better received if Coronation Street were familiar to Americans thus knowing it to be a character parody. They simply weren’t in on the joke.
@@ellet6560 the giant full black tache and hairy armpits didn't kind of give the game away then ? 🤣🤣🤣
"I've fallen in love for the FIRST TIME and THIS TIME I know it's for real" :) Soooo good lol
The sphere looks awesome!
Thanks gabeanickazoid!
Oh Nick, please introduce Gabe to Elton John's I'm Still Standing, pleeeease!
Yet another awesome Queen and Freddie Mercury performance. I remember seeing the video when I was a kid and finding it funny and kinda weird. And i still love this song. Thanks 4 reacting. Very interesting 2 hear your views. ❤😊
Written by John about women breaking free from stereotypes (notice he wrote it without a guitar solo in the middle 🤣). I believe it was the London Ballet with Freddie in the dream/death/rebirth sequence. And the part with the lighted helmets was a show of support for British miners who were on strike at the time. Very interesting video and I absolutely love the guys as the characters from Coronation Street.
i bet gabe does not know that freddie did the theme song for the 1992 barcelona olympics
i bet gabe does not know that queen did the songs for the film highlander and the theme to highlander the tv series
gabe do you know any of these songs such as
A Kind Of Magic
One Year Of Love
Who Wants To Live Forever
Hammer To Fall
Don’t Lose Your Head
Gimme the Prize (Kurgan’s Theme)
A Dozen Red Roses for my Darling
New York, New York
Princes of the Universe (tv series theme song)
Roger Taylor.makes a VERY convincing schoolgirl 🤣🤣
Scary
This video featured the band dressed as the cast of the popular British soap opera Coronation Street and has Freddie Mercury dancing with members of the Royal Ballet Theatre. Mercury plays a housewife who wants to “break free” from his constraining life.
Although music video is often believed to be Freddie's idea, in an interview with Q magazine in March 2011, when Brian was asked whether each band member’s character in the video was an accurate reflection of their personalities, he answered:
"Of Course! Everybody thinks that was Freddie’s idea because it looks like something that he would love to do but it actually came from Roger’s girlfriend at the time, strangely enough. It was her idea to pastiche the Coronation Street women."
Freddie, although shocked that the others suggested dressing up in drag for the video, doesn’t deny that he was actually dying to dress up in drag, and it was something in the back of his mind.
I just saw them on Halloween 2023... they were AMAZING!
Thank you...John Deacon, Queen’s bassist wrote this song about women’s lib....the opening sequence references a popular soap opera in the U.K......then we have the reference to a huge miners strike at the time.....see the helmets and headlamps?.....moving on the members of The Royal Ballet performing an excerpt from L’Après-midi d’un faune...by Debussy.....there was a charity gig and the Royal Ballet asked Freddie to dance with them...Freddie said he couldn’t follow their directions...so they just carried him around..Roger’s girlfriend suggested that they dress as women for the video....Freddie said, “everyone thinks that it was my idea...no...the others simply ran into their frocks”......Actually he was asked to model at a Fashion Aid charity show...he played the part of a groom and Jane Seymour played the bride....he lived life to the full...he certainly knew the meaning of the saying “Carpe Diem”......you’ve just got to love Freddie🤩
...

Key for me in this one is the strong driving bass line from John Deacon. Dominates and gives great structure. Nice review.
Great song and great video, way ahead of its' time
REQUEST:
Anything LIVE…
(Queen is actually the only band who are renowned for being even BETTER live than their studio recordings.)
“Somebody To Love”, ANY live version
“Another One Bites The Dust”, live at Montreal in 1981
“Bohemian Rhapsody” live at Montreal in 1981
Queen’s 20-minute LIVE AID set!
(But, PLEASE NOTE: If you watch Live Aid, you should use a copy of the vid that starts w the introduction by two “cops”… Just cuz that will AVOID accidentally using a “one-off” copy on YT that is INCOMPLETE/MISSING the end of the set.)
Queen- Innuendo
great song
Queen + AL toured Japan this year
I saw Queen plus Adam Lambert on the first night of their 2023 tour in Baltimore, MD. They were PHENOMENAL!!!
This was based on a famous British soap, called "Coronation Street".. the guys dressed up characters from the show... (Roger made a pretty cute girl")... it was done for humor... much was made in the U.S. of the "drag"... but it was so common in the UK, nobody thought anything of it... (BTW, written by John Deacon, bassist)... I had mixed feelings about Adam Lambert at first, but when I finally gave him a chance, I saw his talent.. he is awesome vocally.. in a way, Freddie paved the way for Adam to be who he is now.. I think Fred would have approved! appreciate your listen...
Great reaction! To understand minute 9:33, you really have to see the "Prelude to the afternoon of a faun", by the composer Claude Debussy, with the choreography of Nijinski ¡Saludos, desde Argentina!
Freddie and Elton were best friends . Both huge timeless stars
They just toured North America this past fall. I saw them in Philly in October and they are still fantastic! I also saw them in 2019 with Adam. Just so good live as always ❤. Oh…and of course there will never be another Freddie…but trust me when I say Adam is that good and a “performer” as well. He is the perfect person to help Queen’s music and Freddie’s legacy alive ❤
Queen just finished a tour in Japan on Feb 14, 2024 all shows sold out and did a North America Tour in the Autumn of 2023 all the shows sold out within one day for both these tours, so they are still out there rocking. This song is a really great one written by John Deacon (bass). The idea for the video came form Roger Taylor's (drums) girlfriend and is a spoof on a British soap opera called Coronation Street. The whole band said that this was the most fun video they ever did. Thank you for your reactions. It is hard to move around when you are glued to the piano like Elton John is. You can't compare Elton and Freddie because they are so different and they were great friends, right to the end.
There will be never be another Freddie, but Adam is the best you could get, he is a great tribute to Freddie...AC/DC are Australian but have huge British connections ❤
The young bros were born in Scotland and Brian Johnston is from N E England.
Great conversation between you guys. Whatever your views on Adam Lambert, the bottom line is he is keeping Queen music alive and he is doing a fantastic job of it. Adam is a very talented person who can express himself freely, he has never tried to be Freddie and has a wonderful voice in his own right. I'm just so glad that Queen is still being heard around the world 😊
Adam Lambert was picked because of his voice too. He can hit his voice high like Freddie Mercury. But Adam Lambert is his own person and people should respect that. Even though I don’t like Adam Lambert at all but I do know that Roger and Brian choose him from all the other people to carry Freddie’s Legacy. So Queen will continue on for Freddie’s memories. And the future generations will get to know who Freddie Mercury is.
G'daay Mates! Fun fact:- Brian May is an astrophysicist and well known one at that! Definitely do Elton John and follow up maybe with David Bowie! BTW AC/DC are Australian although Brian Johnson was from the band "Geordie" from Newcastle in north east England Cheers!
Cliff Williams is also from England
ACDC are indeed Australian
Sort of..... They certainly formed in Australia but they (mostly) originate from Scotland and England.
@@gohumberto and Brian Johnson is definitely English (a Geordie, ie from Newcastle, N. England, also the name of his previous band). The Young brothers were Scottish, prior to emigrating to Oz as kids.
Queen + Adam Lambert certainly do still tour. They just completed the Japan leg of it a couple of weeks ago (Feb 2024)
Oh cool. Didn’t realize that. Thanks
…and guess what?! No one in the UK was “offended” by this video 😳 nooooo….. we just saw it as it was - four blokes ‘aving a larffff - parodying a popular TV programme! Still makes me grin now and I’ve watched it a gazillion times!
I get the Shawn Michaels comparison in his showman ship, another Hit by John Deacon
Gebe discovers he knows most of Elton John's hits Coming Soon™
AC/DC are an Australian band.
Innuendo & Barcelona are 2 more you could do 😊

No one is as good as Freddie simple as and I mean no one cheers anyway 👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇲
Unfortunately, when “the old men at MTV” banned this video, Freddie Mercury was SO PISSED… He said the band would never tour the U.S. again. (Unless they had a hit song on the American charts first… which is too bad, because it was less likely for a music audience to buy your records if you had zero presence in-person performing/promoting.)
So in the USA, after the band appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1982, American audiences wouldn’t have seen the band “in-person” again until their famous performance on TV at Live Aid in 1985… and then sadly, that would’ve been the last time Americans saw a live Queen performance.
Elton John and Freddie were best friends.
This video got Queen banned in the US because they were in drag and they never recovered in the US until the infamous Bo Rap scene in Wayne's World. As you about know there wasn't a history of drag in the US as there was in the UK, so we in the UK just found it funny but you in the US, some found it disgusting or simply baffled people in the US. They are dressed as characters of British soap Coronation Street and it was actually Brian's idea I think that they dressed in drag for the video.
Actually, it was Roger's girl friend at the time that had the idea.
@@kimd.9070 I stand corrected, thanks for the correction. :)
Queen weren't banned in the US, only the video.
Queen were a BAND, they were not Freddie and three side musicians!
Marc Martel is the best Freddie Mercury impersonator ever, check him on youtube his voice is 99% identical.
Where's crazy Karen?
Please stop calling her that. It’s disrespectful. Have some class
When she shows respect then I'll show her some. What do you know about class?
You are right, Queen is Freddie. Adam Lambert voice is good but it sounds like a woman.... 😭
You were luckt to miss them they were shite ,try steely dan.
