- Brian May wrote "Save Me" about a friend whose relationship had ended, and played piano, synths and guitars (electric and twelve-string acoustic) on it.
It was recorded in 1979 and released in the U.K. on January 25th, 1980.
It was also included in the album The Game as the last track of the album released June 30, 1980. - Zábava

That piano/guitar swap between Brian and Freddie was smooth as butter. Man, these guys knew how to put on a show.
One thing I love about Freddie is how he approaches singing in concert. It looks like it's just raw, natural intuition for him. His subconscious just knows what notes, inflection, volume, vibrato, distortion is needed at any given point, making it all feel much more fluid, and natural, which just pulls the listener right in. Great reaction, as always, man. Looking forward to the next one.
No one sings with more passion and emotion than Freddie. He will melt your heart like no other! ❤️
This song seems so simple but is SO good on so many levels.
I completely understand what you mean. I think that describes the entire entity that is queen. They have so many songs that are just beautiful to the ears. Then when you scratch the surface you're like, this must have taken forever to encapsulate. Works of art.
Queen fan since 15 yrs old - so now... 44 years.. but your comment reminded me of what someone said about Fred Astaire and his "effortless" dancing.. when asked about that he said "it took HOURS and DAYS of work to make it "appear" effortless.." :)
@@GinMae Certainly, they perfected their art. But, the professionalism waa inherent. I've been a queen fan since About five years old. Late '79.
They are all multi-instrumentalists. John plays guitar and keyboards, and Roger plays guitar and bass. So much talent in one band!
And Freddie plays 🎸 also
Brian could barely play piano just like Freddie could barely play guitar, both were beginner level.
Brian plays well John plays too. Freddie was playing guitar since he was a teenager. Roger can play guitar also
@@roverwaters3875 Freddie has played a while but not like Brian. Nor does Brian play piano as well as Freddie. John plays keys also
You wouldn't guess how many times the 4 of them switched places while recording. They all could play all the instruments, especially Brian and Deaky.
Thank you so much, I love this song!
Roger also played all the instruments on a couple of his songs also while singing lead...
John would also occasionally play the drums as well. Look at the music video for One Vision.
@@richmayes8451 that was just messing about on a video. John never played drums on any recording.
Freddie really had the most beautiful/perfect voice I've ever heard and it never ceases to amaze me. I don't think I'll ever be as impressed by someone as I am by him. The whole band blows my mind though, they really are the best band ever in my opinion.
Brian May is Dr. Brian May, he holds a PhD in Astrophysics. He was also appointed a CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth in 2005, he was a Science Team Collaborator on NASA's New Horizon's Pluto mission, Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 2008-2013, founder of Asteroid Day, has an asteroid named after him, is a huge animal rights activist and...just happened to be in the great band of all time.
They are all geniuses. Brian happens to have a Ph.D in astrophysics, worked for NASA and named four stars for each member. Also, built his own guitar. Can't say enough about how great they are. Freddie's vocals , 4 octaves, are soooo passionate you really feel the song. Great reaction.
If you wanna hear another song where Brian sings and plays the piano and Roger sings, check out no one but you (only the good die young). It‘s their tribute song for Freddie after his death and the last video with John. I think you might also like seaside rendezvous (a very different song 🤪) and cool cat (sexy song with great Freddie falsetto all the way). Enjoy!
I love Cool Cat.
... is it raining in Heaven.. do you want us to cry?... yep.
Bastard Secretary From Hell YESSS❤️❤️❤️ That song is incredibly beautiful and so sad
Both Save me and No one but You was written by Brian.
You are right young man. I saw them on this tour at Madison Square Garden in September 1980. This song is my favorite off of this album, the Game, and done live it was killer. Each member of the band in their own right is a master of their craft. Freddie was/is the greatest front man in rock, Brian slays his hand made "Red Special" with ease, John hits the bass lines and Roger beats the drums like they owe him money. Aside from playing instruments and singing, each member of this band is a prolific songwriter having at least one #1 hit song.
One of the things I love best about Queen reaction videos is watching people fall in love with every member of the band and learning their names, i.e., pausing the video when you recognise that's Brian on piano.
I first heard this song in 1979 in concert BEFORE it was released, and I still love it to this day. So powerful and sad, starting softly, building to a screaming solo before winding down again. A perfect example of their musical talents. (All of the band play several instruments). Check out the video for the studio version too.
You are so lucky. One of the best Queen tours.
@@marriusmal So true, they were always amazing. I was lucky enough to see them 5 times, including the final Magic Tour, and I will never forget the way it felt to be part of their audience
Between switching instruments back and forth and all their movement around the stage, their performance is like a carefully, beautifully choreographed dance. And they make it look SOOOOOOOOOOO easy!
John (Bass player) is also an excellent rhythm guitarist. He actually plays the funky guitar on Another Bites The Dust (even though it's Brian in the video). Brian stated that he always found that style of playing difficult, not a problem if someone else in the band can do it :p
You never cease to make me smile. "Is that Brian on the piano? This guy must be multi-talented!". Oh, man - you don't know the half of it!!
Thanks for reacting!!! To hear Brian and Roger's amazing voices you should listen to 'only the good die young' also known as 'no one but you'. The song ist beautiful... I get the chills when I listen to it- they performed it after Freddie passed.
THIS has always been one of my favorite Queen songs, totally underrated song, especially LIVE!! LOVE QUEEN!!!!
Ditto on the dope. Save Me is sooooo great...I know I say that about all their songs, but...
Man! I love your reactions... It's nice to see a new fan hearing the details! Your reactions to Queen make me smile every time!! 🤣
Please react to some Live @ Milton Keynes stuff! You'll like it! ✌️
this is one of my favourite songs for freddie’s voice. there’s something about the melody that really just showcases how clear and steady his voice is! so glad you reacted to this :)
They are each multi-talented.
Yes, Brian is wonderful on piano. He had an interview in his home not too many years ago, sitting next to a piano which he identified as Freddie's. He said that the piano had traveled all over the world during their tours and was now right there in Brian's house.
I wish that I could give this video 1000 thumbs up. Excellent reaction and remarks.
Like seeing your evolution with the band where you can pinpoint Roger's high, raspy tone.
And yes, the piano accompaniment here is just perfect. It weaves in and around the vocal subtly enhances it, while adding its own beauty. EXCELLENT skill and talent all around here.
Imagine how good these beasts would have sounded in the flesh!! Queen are a beast of a band!! Epic!!
So in the last few months I’ve been hooked to people reacting to Queen. I’ve watched probably over 50 people react and there are some brilliant ones, particularly to the somebody to love performance but your the first to notice all the small details, whether it be the transition between Brian and Freddie on the piano, Brian’s runs on the guitar, Rogers ridiculous backing vocals in somebody to love and even the understated bass in this song. This is only the second video of yours I’ve seen. I just hope you have done all the other classics. Amazing to see people in the states my age react to Queen for the first time. They’re unavoidable in Britain but I’ve only recently really appreciated their skill in live performances.
Beautiful reaction to a heartfelt & meaning-filled song
I am enjoying your thoughtful remarks. It seems that with Freddie and Brian, their instruments are extensions of themselves, and not a separate thing to be played. For a sample of Brian's solo work, see the video BIJOU. It features Brian making some gorgeous sounds with his guitar, with Freddie on screen singing the middle part, and Brian finishing the song. I have heard many rock guitar players making loud and harsh and rough sounds, but Brian's seems to express feelings by singing and crying as required.
Yay, more Queen! Finally!
I know it's been already mentioned in the comments but the 3 surviving members of Queen did a brilliant tribute to Freddie with Brian and Roger sharing lead vocals on "No One But You (Only the Good Die Young)." It was also the last time that bass player John Deacon played with the group before he withdrew from music and completely withdrew from public life.
John Deacon played keys on YOURE MY BEST FRIEND and guitar on alot of the Hot space album songs. Roger played gitar on Drowse and sang on I'm in love with my car. I could go on. And they all wrote lyrics for hits!
Look carefully at Brian when he starts playing the piano...he’s wearing his guitar while sitting at the piano, playing, and singing. It’s why he’s able to do such a quick transition.
Brian actually wrote that song when a friend of his was having a tough time going through a divorce. I'm so glad you reacted to this version, more people should know how lovely it is.
*Edit* I'm still in the middle of watching this reaction lol, but the way you keep rewinding and going back to hear certain parts/pieces is totally me, in the car just straight aggravating my son with all of type of "did you pick that up?" Or "You see what he did there?" 😅
I hope I am not posting too much, but none of my family and friends are interested in Queen, so I need to share my thoughts and feelings with true fans. Thank you.
Love your Queen reactions!! You might be very sympathetic!!!
If you're interested in... Queen will perform at the Oscars! I think they will be rockin!! Cheers mate!
Queen with Adam Lambert...
Finally someone mentions passion! First of all the reactors.
Thank you for the best Reactions
Brian is an astrophysicist who was a part of NASA at one time.
Talk about multitalented:)
He is a Dr now. They all had college degrees.
You have the best reactions!
I love this song makes me cry i miss him so much
All the members of Queen are/were multi-talented in lyrics, instruments and musical arrangements. We lost one legend with Freddie, and John chooses to stay out of the public. I know many badmouth Adam Lambert as Queen's frontman, but he keeps the band out there and brings in younger fans (personally I love him as the lead singer of Queen). Brian and Roger are in their early 70s and it will be a desolate place in music without them, so I say we love and enjoy them for as long as we possibly can.
They all played multiple instruments, wrote songs, & sang. Deaky ( bass ) didn't think he could sing well enough, so he rarely did. That said, he wrote some of their biggest American hits.
Yeah its awesome how Roger with his drums gives Freddie the time to come to the piano at 5:34 ;)
Thank you! This is one of my favourties from Queen, I just love it. A few suggestions for you - 'It's a Hard Life' (official video), 'Let Me Live' (official lyric video) and 'Let Me in Your Heart Again' (album version).
Yeah please check out „No one but you“, which is Freddie’s tribute song from the rest of the band and also John Deacons last video appearance ♥️🕊, sung by Roger and Brian and „Let me live“ a very beautiful song that gives you a gospel feel sung by Freddie, Brian and Roger together 🙏🏻 Amazing trust me!
Listen to Brian’s mays version of too much love will kill you, then you’ll hear his voice 😀😀😀❤️❤️
You have really good reactions to things
Listen carefully - - the transition happened when Freddie was on top of the stairs - singing save me - then you can hear Brians guitar! -- but everybody is mistaken about it. - he has the guitar in his lap while playing the piano. - and switches in a second. I love your reaction - .And Brian built his guitar - the. red special - himself so it could scream - and a lot of other things - himself. And it was his doing - I like your reactions - you know what you are talking about.
God, that vpoice. 1:35
next time react to My Melancholy Blues studio version or live from Houston 1977. One of a lesser known,underrated Queen songs but just fabulous
YES- wish we would see some more reactions to "Melancholy.." I have seen a couple to "Millionaire Waltz" - which is also a very beautiful (John Deacon composition) song....
@@GinMae "Millionaire Waltz" is Freddie's composition but due to John's fantastic bass line one might think it's his song
I remember listening to a bass cover of Millionaire Waltz mind blowing! I can understand why John is mistaken for the writer of this song.
Brian is an awesome singer...check out Rainbow’s Since You’ve Been gone Live
All members of Queen play piano and guitar. Roger also plays bass, I believe and I think I have heard that Brian does also. All but John sing, though John sings background vocals. John also plays upright bass and Brian plays synth and harp. They may play more instruments but I I am not certain on that. If you think it is hard to play piano or guitar and sing, try playing drums and singing, like Roger does. You should check out I"m In Love With My Car, Roger is singing and totally killing the drums. They all have college degrees, too. Freddie-Design, Roger-Biology dropped out of dental school to be a full time musician, John-Electronics and Brian-PhD Astrophysics. Amazing, all of them, even extending beyond music.
Brian started out playing Ukelelle when he was a child. you can hear that on good company and Bring back that Leroy Brown (which I like more) Thanks for your reactions. greetings from the Netherlands
If you want to hear more of Brian please react to Brian May - Driven By You or Too much love
Brian played everything from ukelele to harp.. cello, keyboards, whatever... and also a very good singer... but as he once said "if you're in a band with Freddie Mercury, you kind of realize at some point that he's going to make everything you write sound better -- so you give up your ego for that..." (my paraphrase... not exact.. but you get the gist...)
Brian could barely play piano just like Freddie could barely play guitar, both were beginner level.
Do '39' with Brian on vocal, and freddie and Roger on backing vocals....this band can sing the phone and every would listen...have a listen my friend...
Why mention piano, drums and guitar but so little about the bass? John Deacon was always rated in rock publications as one of the greatest bassists in rock but he's always left out probably because he was shy and didn't seek the spotlight. He wrote several of their biggest hits and best songs, I want to break free, You're my best friend, Another one bites the dust, Just you and I, Spread your wings, etc. Listen to his bass on any song...Another one bites the dust, Under Pressure, Millionaire Waltz (stunningly complex), Breakthru. He also plays piano (Spread your Wings) and guitar. Please listen to more of his contribution!
Brian's best piano/keyboard work is probably on the live version/Freddie Tribute of Too Much Love Will Kill You; he also sings the entire song...
Notification squad almost at 30k brother 👍
They were all very talented musicians. All four could play guitar - in fact there are one or two Queen tracks where Roger and John play electric guitar as well as their regular instruments, and it's John on the rhythm guitar in Another One Bites the Dust - Brian, Freddie and John could all play piano (John plays the electric piano in You're My Best Friend and is shown doing it in the video; he's also playing in the video for Spread Your Wings), and all of them could play synths. Then there were half a dozen other minor instruments that they only played a handful of times: the harp (Brian), triangle (John), gong (Roger), ukelele (Brian), double bass (John)...
Freddie sings and plays piano and guitar
Brian plays piano, guitar and sings
Roger plays drums and sings and
John plays bass
Roger plays drums, sings and plays guitar
John plays electric piano (You're My Best Friend) and rhythm guitar (Another One Bites the Dust / Misfire) too
You feel music same as me so U have my subscribe, man!
If you listen to the studio version of LOVE OF My LIFE , Brian plays the Harp.
Brian has Freddie’s tour piano in his home.
Music must have passion if live . 9:59
must react to queen - White Queen live
Brian playing piano with his guitar in his lap
I love how you love watching Queen's live performances. I was watching Queen live from the very early 70s and it was obvious from the first time I saw them that they would be huge. They just played so well and had this charisma. I saw Queen maybe 25 times over 13 years. They always performed.....always!
All four of them are staggeringly good multi-instrumental musicians. John and Roger both play lead guitar and John would very easily make the grade as lead guitarist for another band. Brian said that John was the best rhythm player he had ever played with. John also plays drums and piano. Here is John Playing acoustic guitar: czcams.com/video/nIT_S_l_iIQ/video.html
If Roger was in any other band he would be the lead singer: czcams.com/video/9_tJt4wL3IE/video.html I don't think he could play piano but he's an okay guitar player. czcams.com/video/Epmb1Z_6NkM/video.html
John and Roger were the bread and butter of Queen's live performances. They made the canvass for Freddie and Brian to paint on and they always needed that canvass so they rarely got the chance to show what else they could do. Plus John was very shy and didn't like being the centre of attention anyway. Who is the guitarist in the blue wig at 2:42 on this czcams.com/video/JAIOzM7SsMo/video.html
The only time I saw john play anything but bass on stage was here: czcams.com/video/XrGhMeqR1lI/video.html, where he and Brian both play guitar.
Queen wasn't all about Freddie and Brian. Roger and John were just as important and were probably one of the greatest rhythm section in music history....listen to the bass playing in Somebody to Love at Montreal, or Dragon Attack.....brilliant! czcams.com/video/_gAhvNCGK0s/video.html
1:25 Brian is a beginner piano player, he can't improvise on piano like Freddie would, so when hes finishing the memorized piece Brian is left hanging, cause ha can't come up with anything to fill the silence until Freddie comes in.
Same funny hanging occurs on "Who wants to live forever" intro is played live on keyboards by Brian...
Also Freddie was a beginner guitarist, "Crazy little thing..." guitar riff is all he can play live because he memorized just that piece.
Brian is not left hanging - they do this on purpose to be able to start at the same time - not possible with the back turned to Freddie. The hanging on Who wants to live forever is also on purpose. - for the same reason.
Listen to the Save Me video. Brian May wrote this. The video is different.
Roger played a lot of guitar on his solo albums in early '80s.
Deaky could play piano and guitar as well.
Yeah
Another Queen song written by Brian on the piano is Teo Torriate! React to that one!!!
Brian is on the piano
Bri wrote Who wants to live forever. He wrote it for Freddy. Do the official video first before the live. You will be totally amazed by this. They are all highly educated but Dr Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics. They all wrote top hits, they all collaborated together on a lot of things there was no lead they were all equal members. Roger studied to be a dentist.Freddy studied to be a graphic designer and Deacon was getting into electronics of some sort I can’t remember exactly what. Brian is still making videos. Go to his Channel and take a look you will be surprised of all of his videos. New Horizons is his last. He worked on this project with NASA and they ask him to make a video about it it’s really really interesting. 🎸🎸🎸🔭
TraENT - Brian didn't play piano here. He just sent his hair to do it!
Btw. Brian wrote this song
freddie plays guitar also
Love your reactions, check out Invisible Man and Breakthrough, they are fun
Between your interruptions every 15 seconds and the damn ads, it's very frustrating watching your reaction videos!
Even John (the basist) plays guitar live at one point!: czcams.com/video/XrGhMeqR1lI/video.html
Also, fun fact: Freddie actually forgot the lyrics at the start of the first line on the second verse, that's why he speaks it!
Please,react to Polina Gagarina "Кукушка" Singer 2019 ep.4🙏🤗
Keeps stopping the video at the worst times. 🤦🏻♂️
i love the reactions but man you gotta quit pausing and pointing out the things we all hear over and over too it makes it less enjoyable
may i make a suggestion, quit stopping the video so many times and enjoy the music.
You mean sir doctor Brian may of course phd.nasa help.some.time astro physicist.and animal wild life activist.
This guy stops the video waaaaay too much and at the worst times.
Brian could barely play piano just like Freddie could barely play guitar, both were beginner level.
You never cease to make me smile. "Is that Brian on the piano? This guy must be multi-talented!". Oh, man - you don't know the half of it!!
