I am 70 years old, I was lucky to be born in 1954, so when claasic rock reached its zenith, I truly loved and appreciated it, and you are right, modern 'music' cannot compare, cannot even hold a candle to these musical geniuses.
Anybody who knows ANYTHING about music in general knows Freddie is the best that ever was. He has one of the biggest singing ranges of any man in history. Any human being that doesn’t put Freddie at the TOP… they jus’ don’t know what they are talking about. Must be too caught up in their own little bubble. Dude is a legend. The world darkened the day he was taken from us. Rest in Peace, Freddie. ♥️
Mozart, Beethoven, Freddie Mercury. His talent will be as timeless, like no other in our modern era, don't care, fact
Welcome to Queen... 1975... First released.. a masterpiece..
Nice reaction. This is 70's glam rock. This came out in 75 and this song gave birth to MTV. By the way no autotune, just pure talent
Not glam rock. This is progressive rock.
This song came out several years before MTV debuted in the '80s. I was around for both things.
The video was made for Britains weekly chart show “Top of the Pops” in ‘75. They were the first to introduce a video performance then and it did become the template when the rest of the world and MTV caught up with them in the ‘80s. They weren’t “glam rock or prog rock or pop rock or hard rock” they were ROCK period. The beauty of Queen was they could never be categorized because every album tasted different genres. I got to see them live 4 times. Best shows of my life.
Thrilled to see another new generation discover them!
Queen did practically every genre EXCEPT glam rock. Twisted Sister is glam rock.
this song did not give birth to MTV ? Please don't try to rewrite history
1975 Queen set the bar,and it hasn't been touched since . Freddy was a genius.
the drummer Roger Taylor sings a lot of the Queen back ups, especially the high falsettos
Okay, sure, I'm old now, but I was a teen in the 70s, and I honestly feel sorry for kids today and what they get fed as "music". All computerized, all lip syncing, and when I was a teen we got artists who actually played their instruments in concert and actually sang their songs. Nobody was "singing" about their pussy, or killing cops, or anything else like that.
No autotune, just Freddie harmonizing with himself.
Michael Jackson was a big Freddie Mercury fan. In fact, he was the one who recommended that they release Another One Bites the Dust as a single
Michael was huge Freddie Mercury fan, He came every night at the Forum in LA when Queen was there.
That's amazing. It really is the reason that every member of the band can claim they wrote a #1 song.
You have to use earphones to appreciate this song made back in 1975
This song was recorded in 1975. Auto tune didn't come into existence until 20 years later.
This was the first music video put out to promote a song, 6 years before MTV.
If you like opera listen to Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe (Spanish opera singer) song Barcelona.
Freddie was a fan of Caballe and he wrote an album of songs they did together.
The song Barcelona was used for the 1992 Olympics that were held in Barcelona.
Sadly Freddie died in 1991.
as stated below... that opening part is ONLY Freddie Mercury multi tracking himself.... If you want a great live performance try Somebody to Love live @ Montreal 1981. And YES they actually played instruments.. No autotune there!!!!
Try Somebody to Love live in Montreal!
Freddie Mercury sang and wrote and performed like a god. Queen members were all geniuses!!
Bohemian Rhapsody is from 1975. I’m a 90’s baby but I enjoy so much old music ranging from classical music, 60s, 70s, 80s, more on 90s and early 2000s. 👍🏻
There is no equal to Queen and Freddie Mercury. This rock and roll opera is a masterpiece that’s never been duplicated. All members sheer talent in music, highly educated and passionate. They built MTV and it was a great time for music. The 70’s were the greatest times for music. I believe Bohemian Rhapsody hit the #1 spot in several different decades, quite an accomplishment.
IMO You're listening to Queen, the best band going back to the early 70s. Freddie Mercury is the absolute greatest frontman of all! I feel that you'll be hooked and listening to more than 2 a month if you (and you should) go down the Queen rabbit hole. 👑👍No auto tune, wasn't around at this time. Not bad for almost 50 years ago, isn't it? Amazing, you picked up on several things that many don't get especially, your first-time listening to Bohemian Rhapsody, I'm impressed!
This Suggestion might changr your mind about best 70's Rock Band
I Love Queen, but as far as best,
ZEPPELIN 100% BABY 😎🤘:
Led Zeppelin - In my time of dying
LIVE at Earl's Court 1975

I hope u watch this LIVE performance
I was born in 1962 & therefore grew up listening to real musicians like Yes, Deep purple, ELP, Rush, Jethro tull & many others. They did so many vocal overdubs on this track that the tape almost snapped. You made me laugh when you commented that you couldn't wear their outfits while you're sitting there wearing your girlfriends shower cap. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Being born in the early 60's I was old enough to experience greats like this. Now being 59 years old I still get to experience newer artists. Life is good...
This was the 70s , decade earlier but hey, they were still going strong in the 80s. The outfits, was called glam rock back in the day.
Freddie's voice sounded different in part because he always sang with passion and emotion, he never just "phoned it in". This video was made in 1975, when glam rock was popular. This song is unique, Freddie was working on three songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this epic masterpiece. Nothing quite like it before or since.
Freddie wrote this song!
Brian May wrote the guitar solo
This is probably the most known Rock song of all time. There are like 1 billion 5 views on CZcams alone. I love this song and have since it dropped in 1975. Thank you for your reaction. Queen is a great live band, they ace it all, no matter what they sing. Queen IS Freddie's group, he was always 1/4 of Queen. So if you know Freddie Mercury, you know Queen.
Do it...!! 👍🏻🙂
Just a quick note: this song was actually released in the mid 70’s, it’s popularity continued for decades and even until today it’s blowing peoples minds
Everyone talks about how incredible Freddie Mercury was LOL. He's a legend, an icon.
I can not understand how so many who are on CZcams have not heard Queen before. I did not like Freddie when I was younger, but his songs were played everywhere throughout the 90's. Queen with Freddie as singer are legends.
Auto tune hadn’t been invented yet, it’s called talent and professionalism
1975 was the height of Glam Rock, a time of fantastical costumes for many pop groups, especially in Britain. See Slade, Sweet, Wizzard, Abba performing Waterloo.
You need to back up a decade or so. LOL! This was 1975. Queen ruled the 70s and 80s and would have ruled the 90s if Freddie hadn't passed away. He had so much music left in him. There are many, MANY fantastic Queen songs in many different styles. They mastered them all! Looking forward to seeing you discover Queen! 😊
No no no! Freddy Mercury’s voice is universally regarded as THE BEST in rock history. He also sings opera!
Freddie is a Peacock! Look at me!!!! flaunting everything, saying "Here we are!"
That is Freddie MERCURY....he wrote this song...he was a musical GENIUS
This song is from the 70s, 1975 to be exact. The 60s and 70s had some of the best music too!
Queens music is timeless
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU!!
You're cracking me up-- this was 1975, lol! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Queen was spectacular.
This was made in the 1975. It is still very, very popular, still.
Queen has at least over 20 number one songs. Another One bites the dust/ we are The champions/we Will Rock you/ someone to love. And too many more hits to mention. Rip Freddie Mercury. This song is at least 50 years old and is legendary.
To have appreciated this when it was released you would have been born in the 60’s. You need to see them live at Montreal to get see them going for it live, somebody to love is epic.
If you had been born in the 80s, you still would have missed the train on this. Bohemian Rhapsody came out in 1975, and has charted in 3 different eras. I saw them live 4 times with Freddie and they were hands-down the best live band EVER! You do have a very good ear for good music, though!
Remember there was NO auto- tune back then!!
Old music is still here for you....enjoy !! We did and still do !!
You are so right about today's music! I was born in 1963. Granted, it might be nostalgia, but the music from the 1960's through 1990's and up to the early 00's just had something that feels widely lacking today. And especially the great bands of the 1970's will always be close to my heart. It's great to see you discovering the music I grew up with, and spreading it to a whole new generation! Keep up the great work!
Another great reaction, Baby Boy!!! My boys were raised in the 80's. Saturday mornings we cleaned the house, singing loudly and dancing! My 2 grandkids will dance and sing even if they don't know the words! Thank you, again!❤💕💕💕
This is from the mid '70s, if you want to see them perform live check out 'Somebody To Love' live in Montreal 1981, it will blow you away.
No autotune…. Singers back then were gifted and could sing link no other . And could play instruments just because .
The reason no one talks about his voice compare to others is because he's at the top of best male voice and there is no discussion just truth.
This is from the seventies. Great music. I was born in ‘68. I was raised on music from the forties, fifties, sixties, seventies and the eighties. Those are great decades for music.
Fun seeing your trance - more where that came from! Add the 1970s to your wish list as this song was released in 1975. Those "3 songs" woven together = a "rhapsody" and changed the music industry, rock song structure; launched MTV, inspireed artists then and now - all via a video that cost $5000 to make. It never stops. Huge music catalogue, plus Freddie's solo work (including opera with Monserrat Caballe - the first time crossover btwn rock & opera). Go for it!
The song is from 1976. Four guys. No Autotune. Just pure talent. I was lucky enough to see Queen 3 or 4 times in the 70's. Great shows.
Loved your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody.....and yes back in the day we had the BEST MUSIC.....I HAVE A BOX FULL OF TICKET STUBS.... everyone from Frampton to Seger to The Doobies, Foreigner, Journey...on and on....
Try Queen. Somebody to Love in Montreal.....
AMAZING 🤩
This was released 1975. Amazing group,been a fan of theirs since early 70s,have seen them twice live.truly amazing.xx
Freddie is definitely on peoples mind when thinking of the best male vocalists of all time. IMO he is number one in voice and performance!! ❤
I was like 15 years old when "Bohemian Rhapsody" came out. It was a revolutionary song for sure. Before that, though, they had a very popular (and cool) song called, "Killer Queen" which is about a sort of female James Bond type. It's a great song and worth a listen.
Lol Killer Queen is about a high class prostitute, not a James Bond type.
@@derekclark254 "Gunpowder gelatine, dynamite with a laser beam" "A built-in remedy For Khrushchev and Kennedy".
Doesn't sound like a prostitute to me. She's a spy, dude. 🙄 How many prostitutes have laser beams?
As my mother says "I may be old, but I got to hear all the good bands."
Michael Jackson also kept encouraging Queen to release Another One Bites The Dust as a single in the United States. After resisting Michael's input for awhile, when they finally did, it shot to #1 in the US. Queen was surprised. Michael Jackson was spot on.
The Mircle from Queen.....pleased. A wonderful Song, timeless
I think you are so wise for your age in your appreciation of this genre compared to what is being produced today. Keep exploring and experiencing more of the songs of the 70’s. You will be continue to be amazed at what you discover.
This record was 1975,was on the album Night At The Opera. I've been a fan since the early 70s. Queen are amazing & live exceptional. I've seen them live. Fantastic.
Oh, you should totally react to their twenty minutes music set at Live Aid. The best live performance EVER. Would love that reaction
Greatest song of all time and Freddie was by a mile the greatest in history!!
Rhapsody is a type of music that usually has four or movements
Queen, 1981 live Montreal “Somebody To Love”
Welcome down the Queen rabbit hole. I highly recommend for your next Queen reaction be "Somebody to Love" Live at Montreal 1981. It is a performance NOT to be missed.
Queen is amazing 😍❤👑
All those voices at the beginning are different recordings of Freddie Mercury harmonizing with himself 😱. But yes, you should check out the Queen live performances of this song and all their other great hits too. If you enjoyed this, wait until you get to all of Queen’s live performances and you definitely need to check out their live performance at Live Aid from 1985. Great reactions!
not all the voices. Roger does the high falsettos
@@JoeyAces drwestm83 was talking only about the section at the very beginning of the song. That part is Freddie-only, multitracked harmonies.
The “operatic” section (it’s referred as such) is Freddie + Brian + Roger, again multitracked over and over until the tape was almost see-through - in *that* part, yes it’s Roger hitting those insanely high notes.
@@JoeyAces Not in the acapella intro, he doesn't. That's just Freddie's voice layered.
They stole the show.
@@JoeyAces yes, as others have correctly mentioned, I was referring to the intro. Those are all Freddie Mercury singing in different tones to harmonize with himself.
Needed to be born in the 60's, Queen came out way before the 80's or 90s. My generation had the best music, im 60
No auto tune in the 1970s. This song was done in 1975. Freddie did have a beautiful unique voice. Great reaction
This was so ahead of its time but at the same moment so in its time. The 70s and 80s produced some great music still alive and kicking today. And yes zero auto tune just pure talent.
Those was 75 ,Queen,Led zep,pink Floyd were epic. Fan of all since 70s. Music was supreme then.
I grew up in the seventies and we really did have the best music. There are no real guitar gods anymore and we had so many. Clapton, Hendrix, Santana, SRV, Van Halen. Listen to it all and enjoy!
All real...from the vocals to the instruments...rock and roll gods!!!!
Queen: Somebody to love
We will rock you
We are the Champions
The Show will go on
No Auto tune back then just pure talent. RIP Freddie Mercury.
The beginning is just Freddie harmonizing with himself.
bohemian rhapsody. 1975. this was more than two decades before autotune. next queen (my suggestion): "somebody to love : live in montreal 1981"
He is a symphony singer in multiple shows before he died
I feel so fortunate I was born in the 50’s to experience the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. Oh what a time we had.
Hun this wasn't in the 80s. You've got to go back to the 70s. 1975 actually. A masterpiece. Words and music by Freddy Mercury. A genius!
Our generation made music that all the generations since have loved. I show my great-grandchildren the videos, and play them the music. The two oldest, 7 and 8 love it. Their favorite song is "We will Rock you" So maybe you should have been before you are thinking. But then you would be old, so maybe not. We are so lucky to still be able to listen to all the beautiful music created before and after our time.
I saw this in concert in the 70s , you can go back farther than the 80s for great music .
This song was made in 1975. No auto tune, pure talent. I grew up listening to these amazing groups. I was 13 years old at the time. The best era to listen to magnificient groups!!
Brings back great memories of seeing them do this song live. Yeah, we had the best.
70's, 80's, the best music ever
Queen has a lot of amazing songs, you should definitely check them out. This song was released in the 70's, there are many great artists from the 70's that are worthy of checking out too. So many different genres.
The 80's were a lot of fun and some fantastic music.
I think it would be interesting to see you do a wide range of genres from the 70's and 80's to see what you really like and then take a deep dive into the artists that you really vibe with.
You'll probably gain a lot of subscribers when you doing "old" music.
(50's and 60's had some fantastic music too. The 50's was the start of rock and roll and was based on R&B from the 40's.
Music is all very interconnected and it's an amazing journey. I'm looking forward to watching your musical journey.
Oh yeah, I'm from the 80's. 83 to be more precise. Queen was and will always be one of the best! ✌🏻
If you're really interested in hearing something unique not many react to then try out Barcelona by Freddie and the famed opera singer, Montserrat Cabelle. Since you said here that you like opera and obviously Queen then I think you will appreciate this pairing.
I hate to inform you but "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released in 1975. It was composed by Freddie Mercury and took over 3 weeks to record. Freddie never explained it"s meaning but did admit that it was 3 different songs that he had been working on but couldn't finish so he decided to mash them all together with some bridges and transitions to create "Bohemian Rhapsody. It was recorded on 24 track analog tape (digital didn't exist) using overdubbing of the choruses (which were sung by Freddie, Roger, & Brian) many times and then "bouncing" these down to successive sub-mixes. This technology was ahead of its time. (Remember: Autotune or anything like it didn't exist nor did synthesizers).
BTW - The opening where it shows all four members singing with Freddie's image sometimes overlaying them is sort of a false representation. Actually, the opening is only sung by Freddie who recorded 5 separate tracks of himself singing and harmonizing with himself.
Queen was a British rock group formed in 1970 consisting of:
Freddie Mercury - Lead vocalist and piano
John Deacon - Bass guitarist
Roger Taylor - Drummer and vocalist
Brian May - Lead guitarist and vocalist
They were all exceptionally talented musicians and performers plus each of the 4 members of Queen composed music (I know of no other group that could claim this). Also, each member of Queen had songs that they compose (that were performed by Queen) that became hit singles.
The outfit reflects the time in rock history. It was the period of Glam Rock - a style of rock music first popular in the early 1970s, characterized by male performers wearing exaggeratedly flamboyant clothes and makeup.
Maybe the Beatles but that would be it.
For sheer beauty of music, Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen. Dunno why this song doesn't get more play, it is gorgeous.
As John Deacon (bass) doesn't sing, the other 3 guys sing the opera section together, but in the other parts of the song only Freddie sings. They used to take a lot of vocals and put it together.
This song was released in 1975. No autotune just raw talent are you crazy Freddie was one the greatest rock vocalists ever. No one ever mentioned him you are clueless this is not the 80s or the 90s it's 1975. Nearly 50years ago.
I grew up in the 70's and this was close to miss the best. Next to queen, there are deep purple, led zeppelin, and so many more...
No auto tune in 1974 when it was recorded ,just pure natural talent, rhapsody is a mash up of songs telling one story .
1975
Thank you for your reaction, and to the call out to us older people that actually got to live and love this music. Love it by listening, and more incredibly, live it by actually getting to see it live and most of the times, not being disappointed. Back then, musicians actually cared about their fans and played their hearts out.
You are awesome to not be afraid to want to listen to" the Old School music." Their are so many reactors that don't want to "go there."
Bravo for you for going there!!!!
No Auto Tune 'til mid 90's. This is real music!!!
This was 70's (75?) So you'd need to be even older lol. Really genuinely pleased how much you appreciate Queen and Freddie. Helping their music to live on
Bohemian Rhapsody came out in 1975. Watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and watch the Live Aid concert in Wembley Stadium
What?!!! Freddie Mercury is on and often at the top of great male vocalist lists!
Have you heard MJ's duets with Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen? "State of Shock" and "There's More to Life Than This"?
MJ was a big Freddie fan.
I really enjoyed this review. And look forward to more reviews. Freddie did so many beautiful songs in so many different styles including an album, apart from Queen, with Spanish operatic soprano Montserrat Caballe. I hope you continue to explore their catalog. Well done!
