Gabe and Nick react to Queen’s Somebody to Love. This is Gabe’s first time listening to this song. He is a huge Queen fan. Hopefully this one isn’t a letdown.

To see Freddie’s stage presence you need to react to this song live at Montreal. An Incredible performance.
Totally agree
And Milton Keynes for a softer version 😊
@@NatalieBee-ci3hi I prefer the Milton Keynes version
@@neilmorrison7356 Me too as so much softer and soulful. It amazes me how one song sounds so different in 3 different ways ☺️
Most people gravitate towards the Montreal performance but I actually prefer the Milton Keynes. Freddie feeds off the audience and, thanks to not being restricted like they were in Montreal, the Milton Keynes audience is much more active and involved, making Freddie more passionate, in my opinion. I think you should watch Montreal first then Milton Keynes to appreciate how talented Freddie is and how he can change up a song.
We need this song live in montreal 1981! One of the best performances you will ever experience!
unlike others that self proclaim, Freddie Mercury actually is the greatest artist of all time.
Amen !
🍻👍🏼
I strongly recommend you to react to the Montreal live version of this song !!!
You will be mesmerized !!!
Oh, you MUST react to live version, Montreal 1981 if you want to see Freddie killing it. His stage presence is awesome in this performance. You can't miss it.
Bohemian Rhapsody was ground breaking, and YES, IT IS!
Montreal live version of this song !!!
The best instrument Freddie plays is his audience, he plays it better than anyone!
Just how brilliant are Queen
Yes he can play guitar and Brian said Freddie wrote Black Queen on guitar. He also said the way Freddie played guitar was a complicated way and he was amazed of Freddie doing it 😊
You really need to see this Live in Montreal or Milton Keynes. THIS is definitely in the Top 5… and my favorite Queen / Freddie song !!! And was Freddie’s favorite song. I can guarantee you that many Queen fans ( and there are millions of us ) will be sad and disappointed that you didn’t react to the Live versions ☹️ But thanks for your reaction ✌🏼❤️
My favourite song of Queens is The Show must go on,.🇬🇧
Mine too 😊
Yep.
Milton Keynes is my favourite live performance.
I was lucky to see Queen live four times from 1980 to 1984, and Milton Keynes the only one of those that was recorded on film. It was a fantastic show.
Same ✌🏼
Great video! Yes, it's the regular studio version. Other great great Queen songs: I Want It All, Crazy little thing called love, Who Wants to live forever, You’re my best Friend, The Show Must Go On, Another One Bites The Dust
Their live version from the concert in Montreal is the best.
You have to watch this song live!!!!
They all wrote songs. All had number 1 hits.
“About ten years ago, I knew three chords on the guitar. Now, in 1982, I know three chords on the guitar.”
~Freddie Mercury
He’s so darling… love his sense of humor.
Did Status Quo no harm either.
Then proceeds to play more than 3!
Freddie played guitar at the live aid concert when he sang 'crazy little thing called love'
He often played some chords to that song live, not just at Live Aid. But that may be where they saw Freddie play guitar before?
Best queen concert is live aid, it boosted Queen back into mega stardom.
Freddie's vocals insane noone can sing ever like him just a fenomenal talent queen is the best ever guys love your reactions❤
Freddie was an amazing singer and listening to him again singing this made me cry, and I'm not one to do that, his voice was so beautiful.
Another Queen song, written by Brian May, after Freddie left us, was Driven by You, bloody brilliant, Brian has an amazing voice as well, please listen to it huge hugs to you both for showing this ❤❤❤❤❤
Live performance at Montreal is a must for this track
The Montreal version is supreme
As everyone else has said - totally missed a gem by not playing 1981 Montreal Live video, and keep any eye on Roger Taylor on drums, an absolutely amazing performance by him too.
Funny you said Rocky Horror Picture Show, Freddie was the director's first choice to play Frank-N-Furter!
One of my favorite Queen songs. ❤
I’m 58 yrs old & grew up with all of them! But my top 3 mesmerizing stage presence & vocal power are ELVIS, QUEEN & Michael Jackson!🥰🎶🥰🎶🥰🎶
I don't know if you've seen the Green Bay , Hyde park audience ' Bohemian rhapsody' which is maybe an indication of how much Queen are loved here . This one has some great harmonies and the production on all their records was first class .
Green day surely ?
Sorry , thanks for the correction .
🤗@@DavidSmith-cx8dg
Remember watching this in the '70s. Absolutely love Queen 👑 to this day. Even though I'm a punk at heart, Queen just were something else
As others have mentioned, you definitely want to check out this song live in Montreal, 1981. And, to answer your question, I do think it’s in the top five. Definitely my top five. It’s not my favorite song, I would say somebody to Love is, but they have so many that I love so much.
Why you haven't played Montreal line 1981 is beyond me. Let yourselves see the real genius of Queen performing Somebody To Love, then Freddy, Gary Moore and Jimmy Hendrix would be three heads on the mountain.
My fave song is Somebody to love. FYI Bohemian Rhapsody was the Most Streamed Song of the 20 th Century !!!
Freddie really doesn't play guitar by his own admission but he did write Crazy Little Thing Called Love on guitar and does play guitar live when that song was performed. Prince could play any instrument he picked up, and he started doing so as a very young child, but he played something like 7 or 8 with proficiency. He was an amazing musician and having seen him live, was amazing. Freddie basically played piano and was a singer with Queen and in his solo career. This song is so much more amazing live and the Montreal live 1981 is a performance that seeing should be on everybody's bucket list. It is outstanding! Thank you for your reactions. Rock for the most part was an American thing spun off of Jazz. Most of the early rock n roll came out of the US but the British did come into their own in the 60's and 70's with The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Tod Stewart, etc. Once the English bands took hold, they came into the market in a huge way. It was known as "The English Invasion." This was the official studio version of this song.
Amazing!!! Please react to more Queen live. I recommend "White Queen" live at Hammersmith 1975 ❤
You need to watch the live from Montreal version! Sooo good!
in the comments everyone talks about watching Montreal 1981, correct it is an extreme and perfect performance. but remember that there is also a 1982 performance from the Live At The Bowl Milton Keynes concert, which deserves attention. It doesn't have the same audio and video quality as Rock Montreal, but it's a testament to how Freddie Mercury goes from one extreme to the other with his voice.
Freddie does play guitar as well as piano. Take a look at Crazy Little Thing Called Love live at Montreal 1981. You must have seen him play piano before if you've watched the video of Bohemian Rhapsody. I love your reactions. Subscribed today. Another great performance by Freddie is Who Wants to Live Forever, live at Wembley 1986.
Queen is known for their recognizable harmonies in studio. STL is a great example but you’re missing out if you don’t listen to them live, as well. Although, there are many hidden album treasures that were never, or rarely, performed live that are playlist worthy!
Since you mentioned it, the “four heads” intro to BoRhap was all Freddie singing each harmony which is multitracked. The operatic section is the three recording and overlaying the harmonies 180 times to create the choral effect. “Inside The Rhapsody” is an interesting “making of” not too long documentary on Queen Official.
Freddie was always quick to say that he was not the “leader” but an equal member of Queen.
Cheers!
Have you seen, 'Freddie Mercury ft. Montserrat Caballe - Barcelona (Live in Olimpiada Cultural)'. Notice it's Live. Or, 'Freddie Mercury - Time Waits For No One (Official Video)'
Montreal version is the 1 you need to react to if you want to feel the song at its best.. & there is also a tribute version by George Michael & Queen too that's good my favourite queen song is innuendo
Like lots of others have said you watched the wrong performance, nothing tops the live in Montreal version of this classic !!
Yep !!!
I love this song, and as it is also played in the radio sitcom 'in and out of the kitchen' with Miles Jupp and Justin Edwards which is a great British makes it even better for me
"hey hun, come watch another Gabe face to a guitar solo on youtube"
^ just shouted that out as this started lol I knew Gabe was gonna feel that solo coming up!
we watched and we enjoyed, thanks guys, glad this was an 'add' because this is such a good song! Cheers!
Guys , this reminds me of Sultans of Swing and then Sultans of Swing Alchemy Live. Studio version great but the live version is on a different plane. Review Someone To Love Live Montreal. Vocals , drums , guitar on a different level
Thank you for your reaction. For this song, in my opinion, you've watched it in the Correct way. This studio version needs to be appreciated for it's harmonies & intricacies. The way all four of the members work off of each other shows better here. But now, for a powerhouse performance (and a different experience) do watch the same song performed "Live At Rock Montreal, 1981"! What you lose in sweet harmony, you gain in strength. Plus seeing this band live in front of an audience will help you appreciate why Queen were tops.
Yes, Freddie could play the guitar. He did whenever Queen performed the song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" live. He also played the synthesizer.
Roger played not only the drums but also the guitar.
Brian played rhythm guitar, piano,, synthesizer, and harp.
John played bass guitar, rhythm guitar, double bass, drums, and piano.
I echo previous comments PLEASE PLEASE react to the live Montreal performance. It was out of this world and on a completely different level. You'll be left gobsmacked by everyone's performance. A MAZ ING!!!!!!
This was Freddie’s ode to Aretha Franklin and her gospel roots.
He was a big fan of hers.
thanks for this, guys! such a great song.. but as noted below, to see Freddie's true talent.. the 1981 Live in Montreal concert.. BTW, this is not "Freddie & some back-up guys" this was a whole BAND.. everyone was amazing in their parts... appreciate your listen!
I would love it if you would be able to please please please please please please do this version live in Montreal
Fooking tune.
You should have watched the live in Montreal video of that song.
On this version you get to see the whole band harmonizing. They do on all songs but Freddie eclipses them as the camera is on him. As others said the Montreal version shows how great they are, and Roger on the drums is highlighted
Yes Freddie played the guitar.
Freddie’s best instrument was the audience💕💕
Bohemian rhapsody is considered the Best song of all time.
With due respect, I think you watched the wrong version there. The Live in Montreal version is absolutely stunning, Roger Taylor on drums and fantastic backing vocals. This version is at another level. Well done.
Queen have performed many times since the passing of Freddy, notably with Paul Rodgers. !!!
Watch Highlander and Flash Gordon movies for some more great tunes by Queen.
Every Breath You Take live Queen Hyde Park 1976. “If you want to know how to be a rockstar just watch Freddie Mercury.” Dave Grohl.
Check out The Show Must Go On & Innuendo.
When I first heard this song I thought Roger’s high note here 5:41 was the guitar lol
Do live Aid guys!!!
Wellll….
Freddie Mercury has ALREADY been voted Best Vocalist and Best Frontman in Rock Music.🖖
His four octave singing voice was so unique, it was ACTUALLY STUDIED BY SCIENTISTS. (No joke.)🖖
His famous performance with Queen at Live Aid in 1985, is still known as the BEST performance in Rock Music history.🖖
Freddie was also the FIRST professional musician to cross music genres, and record a collaborative album with someone from another music genre (for his album of OPERA - Barcelona - with Spanish operatic soprano Montserrat Caballé).🖖
Freddie was also a respected songwriter:
He co-wrote his operatic Barcelona album, and his (probably most well-known) song “Bohemian Rhapsody”, was the MOST STREAMED song of the 20th Century.🖖
And… as a musician:
Fred’s musical peers ALL said they had never seen anyone else play piano in the manner Fred did, aside from the famous pianist, Liberace.🖖
Mercury plays guitar, piano, and other keyboards.
I love Bo Rhrap but We Are the Champions is right up there too for me.
Do this one In Montreal,best
Montreal 1981 live please.
This was Freddie’s favorite song.
Barcelona
Bho Rhap in top five? Around 89/90, the same time Queen were voted England's best band of the 80s, Bho Rhap came first equal in England's best song of the century. It only got to 7 in the states when released, it was a bigger hit pretty much everywhere else.
Freddie Mercury knew how to play something on the guitar, but he wasn't a great guitarist. Despite this, he composed Crazy Little Thing Called Love on a guitar. The other members of Queen are also multi-instrumentalists. On his first solo album, drummer Roger Taylor played all the instruments, sharing credit for only 50% of the synthesizers.
Freddie was a musical genius. Brian called Freddie a human metronome.
Many argue that BoRap is the greatest song ever written.
Obviously subjective, but I think it’s hard to argue against it being a top 5. If for no other reason than its relevance & popularity nearly 50 years later.
The last great Queen song? Not even close! Following this was We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Spread Your Wings, Don't Stop Me Now, Fat Bottomed Girls, Bicycle Race, Crazy Little Thing Called Love....and they were all in the 1970s!
Then you have the decade of the 1980s and five more albums - and into the early 1990s. One 90s song alone, Innuendo, is up there as one of Queen's greatest.
No way you can compare Prince to Freddie. Freddie was NOT 'the RnB equivalent of Prince'. For one thing, Queen were never RnB. They were multiple genres, but if you had to pin one on them, they were a rock band and Freddie was a rock singer.
Not saying Prince wasn't highly talented. As you point out, his musicality was incredible. And his prolific songwriting. But he wasn't a great voice/singer, like Freddie was. And Prince didn't have Freddie's stage presence (to be fair, few did)
Prince also based too much of his image on two of my musical icons, Jimi Hendrix and Little Richard. Whereas Freddie was a total original.
Bohemian Rhapsody regularly gets voted into the top 10 all time pop/rock songs by various music magazine, radio station, and music TV channel fan polls. Often it's in the top 5, and often it is no.1. In the mix with Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven, Eagles' Hotel California, Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell, The Doors' Riders On The Storm, Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird, The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again, and more than one by The Beatles. Regardless of personal taste, there's no question that it is in the top 10 or even top 5 greatest of all time.
All true ✌🏼🥰
Freddie shouldn't be on the Mt Rushmore of singers. He should be on the Mt Everest of singers.
Queens videos are good BUT QUEENS LIVE PERFORMANCES ARE THE BEST. THEY'RE SO MUCH BETTER THAN OTHER ACTS LIVE PERFORMANCES.
So, react to queens live performances over they're videos
Montreal version is the best
I apologize for correcting you dude but Prince could play 17 instruments
Wrong version... Montreal 81 far more moving, to watch them do this live is an eye opener. Check out Roger Taylor's drumming and vocals ❤❤❤❤
Don't understand how the lovely, bright wife keeps on changing into this earthy, girthy male - but also bright.
Is there some kind of progressive Mormon thing going on here?
You play queen music videos which are all unbelievably great
But you haven't hit the live stuff hard yet. There live performances are at a level which is hard to believe. Here are just a few live ones to react to there are tons more
We are the champions and god save the queen live wembley
Tie your mother down live wembley
One vision live wembley
Three song medley Lap of the gods, seven seas of rythe and tear it up live wembley
Somebody to love live montreal 1981
Dragon attack live montreal 1981
Save me live montreal 1981
Play the game live Montreal 1981
Another one bites the dust live Montreal
Love of my life live wembley
Under pressure live wembley
These are just a few of many more.
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
Good time for Nick to first watch the Prince & Co. tribute of "While my guitar gently weeps". A stunning performance.
To plagiarise Forest Gump 'Queen is like box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get' !
Elvis had a pretty face and a good voice but he never really connected with the audience the way Freddie did. Elvis would let all the girls scream and carry on but he never made an effort to really show them they were appreciated.
No PF song is in the top 5, 10 or 50.
Montreal's great....but...as someone who's more familiar with the studio version, I find the changes in Freddie's melody lines a bit annoying
