      I was just commenting the same thing earlier this morning to my husband. It was almost taboo back in the 70s-80s to like Queen. I was so surprised when I started watching these reaction videos that Freddie's early flamboyance just is no longer an issue and people who are new to Queen can really see their genius and musicality. It's ashame the Grammy Awards could never see past it until long after Freddie's death when they finally inducted them into the Hall of Fame (I think, or it might have been a lifetime achievement award).

    Steve - here's a lesson.
    This song is a masterpiece combining 5 types of music into one and the thread throughout (lyrics) ties everything together.
    A CAPELLA - is this real or fantasy
    BALLAD - momma just killed a guy
    OPERA - a little silhouette of a man
    ROCK - you think you can stomp me
    CODA - nothing really matters
    Lyrics (over simplified) would be=
    • questioning reality
    • confession/turmoil
    • persecution/judgement
    • anger/rebellion
    • reflection/resolution
    The recording of the music - too bad you didn't listen via quality headphones to notice the various use of speakers (I don't know what they call it)
    The video as it pertains to the 'story' (conceptually)
    Sillohette and overlapped imagery (annonyminity and fantasy)
    Singing at the piano (telling his woahs to mom) facing reality of life rejecting him
    The triangle of heads = court hearing accusing him of crime and lawyer pleading his case
    The back and forth of Freddie/Roger - cross examination
    The multiplied image of the 4 heads - the crowd cheering in the court (society mistreatment of an individual)
    The rock concert stage - the anger of sentencing and being judged
    The ending piano - resolve and realization judgment doesn't matter finding peace within himself

      I was thinking the "just killed a man" refers to Freddy coming out to his mother.. any truth to that? Also.. could one of the other verses refer to a rejection of a love interest? Again.. Freddy wrote the lyrics.. so he never wrote anything without meaning.. however I also think meaning is also in the mind of the listener..

It's his coming out song but it's also about him "killing" the person he pretended to be for others while embracing who he really is.. hoping his mom and fans would accept him while apologizing to anyone who might be disappointed. But yes, it's open to interpretation. These are just things I've read through the years from those who knew him best.

    Queen is one of the best bands in the history of music and Freddie Mercury was probably the best front man that any band has ever had --- Bohemian Rhapsody was written and released prior to him acquiring AIDS --- it sold over a million copies and was number 1 and after they appeared at the Live Aid concert, it was released again and went to number 1 again.

    I laughed at the reaction to the clothes (worn only on stage I hasten to add) back in the 1970s . . . and realised in another 40 years people will be laughing at the 2022 clothes you are wearing! This song was revolutionary for lots of reasons: the length of the song - all others were 3 minutes maximum because that's what the radio stations wanted; it was a totally new style of 'modern' record; it was a mix of pop and opera. The sign of a true musician is that he doesn't just do one style. Get your family to watch Queen at the Live Aid concert at Wembley. Remind them there was no autotune back then - what you hear is what they sounded like!

    Your family is hilarious! Re the clothes and style of the band...there were a lot of rock bands back then, especially in the U.S. Queen had to do something to stand out. Androgyny was a thing at the time with all the guys sporting long hair. Freddie's college degree was in graphic design so he had a very artistic visual eye. Most of the design elements could be attributed to him. He wore mostly women's tops/jackets, added the black nail polish to one hand and the glove to the other. All of this was an attempt to set the band apart from other rock bands...and it worked! David Bowie and later George Michael used the same trick. As Queen became more popular, the look of the band, particularly Freddie, changed dramatically. While this wasn't the first music video ever, it was the first video designed to be used as a promotional device and was largely responsible for transforming how the music business promoted their music and eventually sparked the development of MTV. The idea came about because of Britain's weekly tv show called Top Of The Pops(TOTP). That show was driving the music to the top of the charts in England so if you performed a good song on that show, it was likely your record would be a hit. The problem with the show is that they forced the bands to lip-sync, I'm guessing due to technical limitations. Queen hated lip-syncing but they needed their music to be on TOTP. The other problem with the show was that when they were out on tour, it was impossible to get back and make an appearance. Additionally, because Bo-Rhap was so extremely technically complex, there was no way they could perform the whole song live. For these reasons, they decided to make a Bo-Rhap music video so they could promote the song using their own choice of visuals and would not need to be present to perform. Believe it or not, the special effects were state-of-the-art at the time. The week after it aired on TOTP, it went to number 1 in England and remained there for 9 weeks. It's use on TOTP led to MTV about 7 years later in the U.S.

They didn’t talk about the video.. but there’s a ton of information out there about it. You are correct, it’s thought to be the 1st made, bc Queen were touring at the time, and it was the only way they could have the song featured on ‘Top of the Pops’ TV show bc they couldn’t appear in person.

    I was a kid when my music teacher developed a play for us over the summer, each of us representing a color of the rainbow with different stories, and the backdrop theme was the song We Are The Champions. We’re talking late 80’s, early 90’s. I was green from the rainbow.❤️

    What I want to see now is more of your family reacting to more Queen…especially the live stuff. I have to admit that the Bohemian Rhapsody video can come off as a little strange…but the beauty of Queen is how the more you watch and hear, the more you begin to feel it and appreciate the talent. The whole band is great, but Freddie is something different. I love watching people fall completely in love with him as they come to appreciate his talent and his presence. Let the fam react to Somebody to Love, White Queen, You Take My Breath Away and Don’t Stop Me Now…I’m going to predict that after those, they will be Queen fans!

    Freddie always pushed the limits of his outfits in the 70’s. That video was done for a tv show in the UK TOP OF THE POPS. They were getting ready to go on tour. They always played #1’s song so many time’s they got tired Of the video. This video made them back in 1975.

    "How about we listen 🤬!"
    😂 Know this so well. So funny. But as soon as he sings: "... just killed a man" you can always observe that Freddie got their whole attention now. That line never fails.
    The hilarious thing is. I'm 53 now. My elder sisters made me listen to that when I was in grammar school and I loved it. And your parents just have the same demeanor as my parents back in the seventies 🤣 OH my, that's really hilarious. Some things will never change.
    I'm requesting a reaction to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Full Length: Parts I - IX)" by Pink Floyd with your parents. Please! You'll love it, that's for granted.

    you have become one of my favorites to watch, I see the Queen awakening within you, the true talent within them all and how great they were.
    I totally understand your thinking in your first reaction not knowing the how the song came first. Even myself always being a Queen fan and loving this done from dat one. After he got sick and seeing him going down hill, but always the perfect performer and voice. Listening and seeing him after the illness took hold, this song and several others I feel indeed fit what he was emotionally must have been going through. And I feel that maybe somehow the wonderful songs were indeed part of his future. either way we all love & miss him and are happy these songs are part of his legacy that are here forever to rember him as well as all the talented members of Queen. . . .

    I felt your frustration. Shuddup and listen dammit! :) Felt like trying to introduce new artists to my teen!
    This video was actually put together in about 4 hours. There was a popular TV show in the UK at that time called "Top of the Pops" and Queen was scheduled to be on it. This album had just come out so they were going on tour. The album was called "Night at the Opera" The minute they finished filming this, literally they left on tour. Top of the Pops could make or break an album. They filmed this so the TV show had something to play instead of them being there. This was wayyyyyy before MTV or VH1 (This was 1975) A google quote: “Bohemian Rhapsody” is generally recognized as the first ever promotional music video, kick-starting and setting the gold-standard for the genre for decades to come"
    Throw "Somebody to love. Live in Montreal" at them. As someone said below.....if that doesn't hook them then there is no hope.

    1975. He wasn't diagnosed with HIV until 1987.He died in November 1991. They didn't have drugs for it back then, and in the 80's people were dying all over the world. The US lost over 100,000 people in the 80's, and people are STILL dying all over the world because the have no access to the drugs that could save them.

    Yeahhh I love this reaction !! It was your reacting to your family’s reaction that was the best !! So funny 😂
    You can’t imagine how many time I made people listening to this great song and have the same reactions about their clothes, their hairs … and finally nobody paid attention to the lyrics and music! Except when they go to the operatic part and then they oppenely laugh cause « this is ridiculous » Aaaaarg this made me mad!!
    I realised the key is to introduce this song to one person at the time and maybe starting with another song like somebody to love live in Montréal 1981. They are impressed first by their talent on stage with a popular song and then you can go to this masterpiece with their full attention 😉
    But one thing is true : you are definetely one of us Queen’s fan now !!

    The video effect where their image echoed to infinity behind them was actually created by one camera pointing at a video monitor and the signal from the camera being fed back to the monitor. In much the same way as if you did a live camera shot of a computer screen, you would see a video of the video of the video, etc... disappearing into the distance. Back then they didn't have computers to create these effects, they literally had to create them with what they had in the studio. The multiple choral shot was created using a special filter on the lens. They had to be really inventive back then.

  • @sherryheim5504

    This was the era of "Glam Rock" and the bands all dressed like this (high heels, makeup, nail polish, androgynous clothing). Even if you go back and look at Jimi Hendrix, he was already starting to wear strange clothes as well. We had just been through the hippie era and now music had become a production with costumes and the stranger the better. Definitely need to get out of the third grade, get past the clothes and check the talent. J/S. Just a suggestion, never bring those people back during another reaction. Their level of appreciation is embarrassing, bordering on disrespectful. You can't force people to grow beyond their comfort zone, they have to be ready and willing. This was the first music video for promotion of a song.
