      As you watch more Twin videos with Queen, this is clearly the 1st they are seeing from this concert but there are at least 2 others... You can tell they are in reverse order as he becomes more clothes.... Next vid he's in long pants but still no shirt, then they see what has to be the 1st or 2nd song of the concert and he even has a shirt on! A white ribbed tank top, but a shirt nonetheless!! Ha!

      Deaky has, adorably, been married to his wife since 1975. They have six kids, and he wrote "You're My Best Friend" for her. He's a brilliant electrician, and built equipment for the band including an amp of his own invention. Brian May is a dedicated fox-and-badger conservationist, and released a version of the "Badger Badger Badger" meme song to protest badger culling. Roger Taylor has a wonderful old man beard, and his son is the drummer for The Darkness and Queen + Adam Lambert. Brilliant men all, as was Freddie.

Brian may move from the guitar and most of his songs were heavier and Freddie Mercury‘s vocals were in the tenor range versus his natural baritone.

      Music does transcend through all races; however being honest, sometimes races are not as familiar with certain genres. I am about to start listening to Latin American music for first time, and I'm no spring chicken. None of my family or friends ever listened to it. I think based on race their could be barriers, and I think that is what he is referring to.

    When this song came out, I was 10 years old,... I had the 45...that's a vinyl record...I used to put the speakers in my bedroom window and blast this song while riding my bike up and down the driveway. Now watching this young man discover this song, this band, in 2020,,... it's a fantastic feeling. The world might just turn out OK :)

    The bassist is the one who came up with the beat, and the song was heavily influenced by Black music. They were reluctant to release it, but Michael Jackson convinced them to.

    Roger Taylor, the drummer, is who you hear backing him up on the chorus vocals. Roger has a great voice, as does the lead guitarist, Brian May. If you haven't seen the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody," it's required viewing! You'll love it!

    John " Deaky" Deacon, the bass player wrote this.
    I'm sure someone has already filled you in, but he had problems with a mic stand and just whipped off the base and sang with the mic and the boom. Became his trademark.
    Me again. Lol. This was a 2day concert in Montreal and producers told the band they had to wear the same outfit both nights for editing. Well, everyone knows you don't tell Freddie how to stage a performance. So the second night was stripped down to short shorts and talent busting out the seams!

    His mic stand broke during a performance early in his career and he was left with the top half of the stand and he liked being able to carry it around on stage like that, it gave him more freedom to perform.

  • @janiediaz2238

  • @laurenraubaugh9542
    @laurenraubaugh9542 Před 4 lety +8

    You should definitely do a live combo reaction of We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions (always played together!) There's a great set from this same concert in Montreal as well as from Live Aid in 1985, but if you do anything from Live Aid I suggest watching their whole 20-minute set! They have a ton of classics that almost everyone has heard. Aside from this, Bohemian Rhapsody, and the We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions duo (played at every sporting event, haha), there's a few others that people don't know are Queen (like "I Want It All", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "You're My Best Friend", "Fat Bottomed Girls", and even the theme song for Flash Gordon ("Flash! Ah-Ahh!") They had a ton of other amazing songs as well, of course, over 15 albums and 21 years. Definitely GOATs!

  • @francinelima5963
    @francinelima5963 Před 3 lety +1

    Freddie Mercury sings, using the whole mike stand, because the first time he performed with the band( they sang "Keep Yourself Alive") The mike got stuck to the stand & he could not loosen it, so he took the whole thing! This became his trademark! I am not sure, but I think "Another One Bites the Dust" was written by John Deacon ( guitar player) ,but, the band eventually decided that ,since all of them wrote many songs that not one person would be credited, but all songs would be credited to the whole band, in the interest of solidarity! You ought to.check out the movie ,"Bohemian Rhapsody," It is pretty close to a lot of the
    biographies I have read! In fact, I may be wrong, but I understand that it was produced by the remaining members of the band many years after we
    lost Freddie!
    Also, you might want to react to Queen's "Hammer to Fall "& " Don't Stop Me Now" ! You might enjoy them!
    Great reaction!
    Thanks for appreciating Queen!
