Some GN'R man
You should do Stairway to Heaven next week if you've never heard it. By Led Zeppelin.
Skillet “The Resistance” great song bruh
For the next rock music reaction i highly recommend:Asking Alexandria - Let It Sleep
REACT TO RIDE MY MAN
Check out their performance of this from Live Aid at Wembley Stadium.
Seeing 72,000 people clapping along is just awe inspiring.
Yes to this
10000%
He already watched live aid but it got taken down
Yes
Fun fact: Lady Gaga favorite band is Queen and she created her name as a hommage to this song and Queen.
Thats pretty dope
And for a while it felt like all you'd hear on the radio was Gaga. Appropriate.
*It came full circle*
I liked Lady Gaga and thought she was a passible pop musician, but the more I learned about her more respect I gained for her, and years ago when I learned this fact it solidified that she had some serious influences. She knows what's up!
But isn’t the song about the crap/background music that radio is becoming? So she chose to be Lady Unimportant Filler Music?
She’s got talent and drive, doing better than me, so maybe I’m wrong.
If you gonna put Lady in front of a Queen song, how about Lady Death on Two Legs? Gotta admit, now I just like the image of a Lady Death themed band. Not even thinking about song content now. Lol Maybe put Evil Ernie on guitar, but not lead. Smiley backing up vocals. Ha.
Also, one of the smartest things someone ever said to me, "Queen didn't make songs. They didn't make records. They made Anthems."
As others have said, the Live Aid video of this song is a must see.
Seeing 72,000 people clap in unison with the music will give you chills.
I would rank it in the top 2 all-time live performances along with "somebody to love" live at Montreal!!!
Or love of my life live in São Paulo 140.000 people watching the show, one of the music legacy of my country
Yep I agree.
Can someone ask him to react to queen we will rock you i noticed its the only queen song he hasn’t reacted to
You should react to the performance of Radio GaGa from Live Aid back in 85
Seeing 72,000 people clapping along is just awe inspiring.
@@katstorm13 Exactly what I was thinking
Kurt Davis Live Aid is where it’s at
@@patrickcosgrave3945 Absolutely
He already did
Queen goes hard on all of their songs
Except "who wants to live forever" but it's my favorite song of theirs
The amount of times I have had this blasting through my speakers while running people over in gta5
Never gets old😂
Hell yeah
Lol it is the best song evee
"sooooomeeeeeoooooneeee still looooves- [vehicular manslaughter 47] YOUUUUU"
DITTO!!!!
The music video is actually using scenes from Metropolis, one of the first science fiction films made.
Silent film, too, so it's pretty wild seeing it synced to the music. I just watched Metropolis last year for the first time. The scene of the robot morphing into a face was done in the 1927 movie, too.
Giogio Modorer recut the movie and added some music in 1984. He got Queen to write and perform some new songs for it and let them use footage from the movie for this video. Some people want to be the lady robot, others redesign her into C-3PO. Still a cool looking robot, more then 90 years later. :)
@Shame nolan - lol, I have to give Freddie Mercury a free pass on gender issues. And I can't be made that C-3PO is generally male. But I still mostly agree with you. :)
just for some facts:
Roger Taylor wrote this as a critique of radio stations, which were becoming commercialized and playing the same songs over and over (and this was before radio was deregulated, allowing companies to own multiple stations in a market, resulting in more corporate ownership, less competition and generally bad radio).
Radio ga ga mean caca which is a french word for (shit)
It was pertaining to the atomic bomb and war. The radio was the only way to stay connected.
Radio, TV, Internet.... song still stand's and will so for all time!
Oh my god
@@republicofcasuals Pretty sure there was no internet in the 80's mate just saying
@@adammacdomhnail2014 Took me 5 seconds to find this.....
By the end of 1985, the number of hosts on the Internet (all TCP/IP interconnected networks) has reached 2,000.
Commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) began to emerge in the very late 1980s. The ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990. Limited private connections to parts of the Internet by officially commercial entities emerged in several American cities by late 1989 and 1990.
So yea don't worry as SOME ONE STILL LOVES YOUUUUU! 😁
first twenty one pilots now queen? you’re really blessing during this quarantine 😭
Nugget glad im not the only one who has Queen and TOP as their favourites 🥰
Its just for views
Wibble Wabble, they’re both superior 😌
@@Black-yt8of Queen, The Beatles, tøp, Eminem, all of them. They are so awesome
Bars!😂😂
Don't know if anyone's mentioned this about Queen on this comment section. All their members wrote a number one hit single as a Member of Queen. Making them the only band inducted into the Song Writer's Hall of Fame as a band rather than individuals. They are also the only complete band to have this honor.
Fabulous! Its been so long since your last Queen reaction, thanks! The song is basically mirroring the famous silent movie Metropolis, which is set in a dystopian future. The song is also about the possibility of things in life becoming more mechanized and meaningless and people are becoming robots etc.
Queen is played in my house regularly. Freddie Mercury is a GOAT. Almost everyone who ever worked with him thought he was a genius. Bohemian Rhapsody is so damned good.
A lot of those clips were from an old movie called "Metropolis." The song is -- as you noted -- supposed to be about the glory days of radio, the advent of video ... or something. heh It's just a great song, particularly when seen performed live and there's 70 or 80 thousand people doing the clapping.
Seeing the live version is absolutely incredible. The crowd control is mesmerizing.
The video doesn't have much to do with the song lyrics. The video shows a world under War who relies on Radio for information, guidance, and entertainment in contrast to the future where radio appears to be non-existent.
The song itself was a response to the popularisation of MTV and music videos in the 1980s. This is when music began to turn into a visually relying genre. Where once you had musicians admired for their musicianship over the radio, you now had people promoted for their looks and appearance. This is a trend that has sadly continued to today.
Close your eyes and picture Uncle Aaron from Spider-Man into the spider verse whenever LayedBak is taking, it’s a scary resemblance...
Rye Guy 😳😳
Mahershala Ali?
R O B O T B O Y yes, Mahershala Ali is the voice actor of Uncle Aaron
You need to react to the live aid concert queen portion. My grandmother was there live and said it was the best performance by far
He has done already
My mom was there!
@@joebentley2803 I was there as well. I was also meant to go to the concert at Wembley in 86 but my wifes (then girl friend) bag was snatched on the way and we didn't get to go. Still gutted
React to "stairway to heaven" by "led zeppline"
Live version ! :)
Great idea
Led Zeppelin
Great
sizer h yeah defo and he should react to Michael Jackson -->’’Billie Jean (Motown 25)’’
I actually went to see them in 1984 when they came to Canada, honestly, no rap concert could ever come close to the power they bought with them
Jealous! When asked what I would do with a time machine...concert after concert after concert.
As much as I love rap... no rapper could ever live up to the vibes rock and metal brings to concerts, unless rap starts implementing more real instruments and rock/metal like rage against the machine, body count and system of a down then it's always going to be the case
@@katstorm13 all I would do! Haha name any great concert, I'd go!
You know what i did in 1984.... fell out my moms vagina 😁
@@republicofcasuals Lucky you, my mum got her stomach ripped up to pick me out
React to "Live Aid" one of the greatest performances of all time
React to Queen live aid it’s one of the best performances ever in my opinion
mark jaramillo *THE BEST* live rock performance *ever!* 🤟🏼 I’d love to see him react to the entire set by Queen. I watch it all the time. I actually remember watching it live on TV back then. It was amazing back then, and still is.
ILive2Rescue Agreed. It’s a performance that will never be beaten.
Another insane performance is Prince’s half time show.
Brandon Westfall I agree! That was an amazing performance too! No comparison to any of the recent halftime shows, which have been a joke.
Metropolous was an old movie which is where most of the black and white clips in this video came from. Radio Ga-Ga was written by Roger Taylor (Drums-Queen) and was about how important radio was and how it not only exposed us to more information and music than most people get today, but for many years was the only way we had to get entertainment and information. With all the videos that are now so popular, people don't get to think or form their own ideas about what a song means, it is all fed to us in video form and we just accept what we are shown and told (much like the difference in reading a book where we imagine the characters and scenery as opposed to watching a movie that gives that to us). With radio music and shows we had to use our minds to imagine what the song was about or what the show looked like. The Radio Ga-Ga title came from Roger's toddler son who had a French mom so he spoke some French words. There was something on the radio that the child didn't like so he pointed at it and said Radio Ca-Ca ($hit). Roger cleaned it up for the song and it became Radio Ga Ga. Interesting how the whole video thing seems a bit negative now when Queen produced the first video ever for rock and roll (Bohemian Rhapsody) for a TV program they were asked to appear on to do the song on live TV. It would not look right to do that song on TV lip-synced because it is too many over lays of harmony plus Queen would have been out of the country, touring when the show was scheduled. They made their own video in 2 days and sent it to the TV station. It was a huge success and ended up being shown all the time and so started the era of the music video. Today, it has become very easy to get caught up in a bubble of just a few groups whose music you listen to and you miss all that we had when we got our music on the radio, we listened to what the stations played which was old, new and current. This song is hoping that radio doesn't die because with it will go a lot of excellent music and incredible radio programs.
Bro I saw them love not that long ago in Toronto and even after all this time the oldies could rip on the guitars and drums and was probably the best concert I’ve ever been to, the ENTIREEE crowd was doing the dances and singing along and was packed
You must try "White Queen" but live at the Odeon, it's a bloody master piece. ♡
This video is based upon the movie "Metropolis" a silent film from 1927. Every single movie that you've ever seen was inspired by this movie. It literally defined that approach to making movies throughout the 20th century. Its considered by many to be the greatest movie ever made. What is so timeless about that movie is, nearly 100 years later, it's only become more relevant.
Another cool video do more queen reactions they are an amazing band
A year late but if you haven’t heard the live performance at Live Aid you haven’t lived. One of the greatest performances ever and this song just steals the show
You are THE FIRST Person to react to this, that I have seen anyway, that got what the premise of the lyrics were, from the very beginning.
It shows that The Buggles ("Video Killed the Radio Star") got it all wrong. Video didn't "kill" the radio star, it DETERMINES the radio star.
LayedBakDFR, glad to see Queen reaction again on your channel!!! Much of the theme of this video refers to England during World War II and how important the Radio was (main source of entertainment). The song talks about the importance of the radio in the time of Video (early 1980s).
Man im happy i started listing to rap cause i found your channel through it. Keep up the great work
Just want to say thank you for providing so much entertainment. Can't work in new mexico but man love your stuff blessing to be quarantined small things matter stay possitive
Much respect for sending out a stella message about washing your hands and doing the right thing in this pandemic. My Man... Loved the video bro.
Hell ya fresh reaction. Queen is timeless, thank you for reppin their greatness here.
Apologies, if stated below, already -- its the song "Lady Gaga" took her name from.
Keep these vids up love them bro ❤️
LOVE your reactions, thanks!
Queen was the only band that every member had written a Grammy song
The four members wrote hit singles, not Grammys.
I’m 15 years old, born in 2004 and I absolutely love classic rock music, It’s been my favorite genre of music since I was born. I’ve been listening to it since day one, and it is seriously shocking that you are 20 something and it is your first time listening to any classic rock. Also, I loved the reaction!
Me too i was born in 2004 and i love classic rock
Their Live Aid performance is amazing!
I love the fact that you review Queen's songs! please do more :)
Love your vids bro 💎
The visuals are Fritz Lang's Metropolis, a classic Sci-fi movie.
Yep, next should be Live Aid- Queen- Full Set! This has 45 million views for a reason. It's a jaw dropping 22 minute performance. Freddie had those 72,000 people at Wembley in the palm of his hands!
You should react to Queen performing at live aid, I think you’ll love it. Biggest and best performance of theirs.
This one of my favorites, ahead of their time!
Love this song!
Freddie Mercury wrote a song for a remastered (?) Version of Metropolis called "Love Kills". And because of that Queen could use footages of the movie in this music video
The family sitting round a table recreate the Blitz of WW2. Earlier on there was some footage of an air raid, possibly London in 1940. The black and white images are from Fritz Lang's film Metropolis made in 1927 and a forerunner if Orwell's 1984. Loved the reaction, you enjoy Queen, and I enjoy watching you! Peace and Good Health!
Love this guy for listening to my favorite band
You need to watch queen live aid 1985 to really appreciate these boys and their pure talent
I remember when I was younger and my brother done Drama and his class decided to do We Will Rock You The Musical and it was truly an experience, they nailed it and I loved every moment of it!
A lot of this video, the black and white, was from a movie called metropolis. Queen was on the soundtrack.
Great choice!!!! This is my favorite Queen song!! Thanks for the reaction!!!
Greatest singer to live!
Definitely watch their live performance of Radio Gaga from Live Aid in '85.
More queen!
Your the best reaction channel out there
Stay safe y'all, this virus business getting ridiculous
Yeah dude you've got to watch them performing so many of their songs live, best live band, the way their song involved the crowd, amazing.
A lot of the imagery comes from the 1927 film Metropolis. It was a classic German silent film. It was an extremely progressive film. If you look up the movie you can find a bunch of pictures and clips from it that match this video. The scene where his face shows up is an effect they put over a clip from the film.
Ayee back on that Queen vibe!!🔥🔥
Queen are BIG and timeless.
the film clips are from a very old movie called Metropolis. its well worth a look.. in the 2nd world war in the uk there was always a threat of bombs, the only way you could get information was by radio.., it was the centre of entertainment and news..
DR I love your reactions. :) The mid-70s is my era. Queen was a band that make Rock Operas, similar to what the Beatles did in the 60s but in harder rock. If you haven't, find Dr. Roboto. It'll blow your mind. Lots of the mid-70s bands did storied albums. Styx, Prince, Boston...
You gotta watch the live aid version. Amazing show
Yes, queen have always reinvented themselves!
the whole start with the family at the table with gasmasks was in London WW2 during the blitz
Hey, Great review! Yeah - there was footage in the video from the class Metropolis by fritz Lang
Wasnt a Queen follower til the movie but damn this was fire when I heard it on live aid.
As others said, scenes from the film 'Metropolis' spliced with actual film of firefighters trying to put out incendiariy bombs etc, during the London bllitz in WWII. Radio was very important in maintaining morale during the war. Clips of families wearing had masks in case if gas attack.
The black and white are from a movie called metropolis, considered the first sci fi movie of all time.
someone on this man's patreon get him to do some Pink Floyd. Time, Comfortably numb, whatever man
He tried a live comfortably numb video but couldn't get passed the solo, I suppose it was too slow and deep for him to get into.
@@JoeThornhill i realized that after I posted this. The live version does seem slower. Maybe time is the best song to get him on
This guy is a class act to have an open mind to the best song writer ever Queen
The Show Must Go On is one of my all time favorite Queen songs. Hope you give it a listen at some point 😁
The second you told me to relax... I did 😍
Keep up the grind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your so good at breaking music down
Best reaction channel
Here in Louisana after a big storm 'Hurricanes' sometimes all we have is the radio to know what's going on.
I still remember my reaction for this video - my first 'contact' with Queen. I was 10, living in Poland: behind the "Iron Curtain", martial law has just ended and my greatest fear was the possibility of nuclear war.
I couldn't stand it. I left the room in the middle of the song. I was too scared to watch to the end. It took a few weeks to be able to listen to this song again and probably a year to be able to watch the video (meanwhile I turned 11). And now, almost 40 years later I still cannot see anything but a nuclear explosion in the final flash of the video.
But Queen has become my favorite band (still is) and now I love the song and the video :)
During Blitz in the UK people depended very much on their radio to let them know when London was going to be bombed. It played a huge role in the safety of the nation, among other countries! A radio is a very important tool for all people in times of crisis and emergency. It was also a huge means of entertainment, radio theater programs and musical show, news, weather ect. The point of the song is that radio is being thrown over for visual entertainment, however, there will be a day when the world will depend on the radio once again, and should not be forgotten as an important instrument of mass communication!
The movie was Metropolis a classic sci fy movie based in a distropian future where the working class were slaves. Freddie used this as a backdrop for Radio Gaga. The point being that as a people we have become slaves to visual and broadcast media yet though it all radio still survives. He observes that at one time we used our minds to create pictures as we listened to radio shows. You had your time, you had the power, you've yet to have your finest hour... radio! And yes on the midst of all of this tech radio is still here waiting for the time as Freddie observed; "When we grow tired of all this visual."
Just found your channel and I'm loving the rock reviews. You should check out some songs from Talking Heads.
A lot of this video is cuts from the 1927 movie "Metropolis"!🥺🤭So far ahead of it's time it's unreal!🤯 Love your show and your music!💯✌️❤️
It’s been so long since you did any Queen, as soon as I saw this I clicked on it. I agree with all the comments below, that you do the Live Aid version of this song, or better yet, react to the whole Live Aid set.. its 20 minutes of musical perfection. Live Aid was a benefit concert to raise money for the Ethiopian famine, and all the biggest artists of the day were there. The tickets (almost 80,000 of them!) were already sold out before it was even announced that Queen would be performing, consequently the audience weren’t your typical Queen fans. Queen stole the show that day, their performance widely regarded as The Best Ever by a rock group. Can I also suggest White Queen live at Hammersmith 1975. It has the most beautiful instrumental segment in the middle that will give you chills. I hope you and your family stay safe and well through this whole corona virus thing. The only thing I’m sure of at the moment, is that Queen make me feel happy 😃
Roger Taylor (Queen's drummer ) who wrote the song after hearing his 3-yr-old son, Felix stared at the radio and announce "radio caca" before running off (caca aka shit). That phrase stuck with Roger so he wrote a song called Radio Caca but the powers that be said, "No" so they changed the name to Radio Ga Ga (though Roger swears that sometimes in the song they are actually singing Caca).
Initially, it was to deal with their disappointment in how the radio lost its individuality and how the stations all played pre-programmed music They felt the MTV and the like had a bad influence on rock radio which was sort of ironic since it was Queen's video of Bohemian Rhapsody which launch MTV and the music video craze!
FYI
1. You heard Radio Ga Ga before. It was the second number Queen performed at Live Aid. When they performed the song live, they always speeded up the tempo.
2. Queen somehow acquired the rights to the iconic German Sci-Fi movie Metropolis and they thought it would be fun to use as the basis for the video. (They were always looking for something different for their videos from what everyone else was doing.)
3. Interestingly, Lady Gaga, got her stage name from the song.
Queen's Under Pressure was sampled by Vanilla ice. Check it out.
My baby does me - Queen👑❤️
You've probably heard the radio gaga bit from GTA V trailer 12years ago...I'm a hiphop head but this song blows my mind. R.I.P Freddie Mecury
Queen is imo the greatest band that the world has seen. EVERYONE knows at least one queen song, most people know more than one whether they realize it or not. They are everywhere in popular culture even today. Go to any sporting event and you will hear we will rock you at some point either as an actual song or just the iconic beat.
The theme of the video was inspired by the silent film Metropolis which is the first film that inspired the steam punk movement. It's a very progressive video considering that steam punk didn't really start until well after Mercury's passing. Queen as a family were truly innovative, Brian May the guitarist went on to become a professor of theoretical astrophysics and continues to make music with the remaining members of Queen.
I fucking love this song!!! 😻
You heard this song when you reacted to Queens live aid performance. It was the second song he done and the whole crown was doing the raised hand clap in complete unison
Man you gotta do an under pressure review
Yeey, loved this reaction dear!!! Please react to their whole Live Aid Performance, it was for charity. 20 minutes of musical history. Much bless to you ❤🍀
The Live Aid performance of this song is absolutely unreal
Love all of your reaction videos but really enjoying these Queen ones! They were 4 truly talented men and spanned so many genres beyond just rock.
I think you need to check out 'Killer Queen' and 'Hammer to Fall' which I love ❤️.
'The invisible man' is very 80s and 'Seven Seas of Rhye' was one of their early songs.
Keep up the great work 👌
