Fabulous and unsettling song, the music fits the words perfectly, you can feel the guilt and anguish of an affair and Freddie as usual wrings out every emotion and leaves me drained.
Fantastic reaction! This is a great song, this is more blues and hard rock. Another song from News Of The World you have to check out is, My Melancholy Blues, it is very different from this one, but great as well. It's Late is a very underrated Queen song that a lot of people don't know, it also features the highest note on a studio album, there is a E6 hidden under the last guitar solo, at around 6:49 in this video. Freddie has done some higher notes live, but this is the highest note on a Queen album.
This is such a great song! Have only seen a few other channels react to this one. Dude -- keep digging!! Take the deep tracks from the popular bands, then dive into the lesser-known bands. Follow your recommendations, your audience knows of what it speaks :-). Keep up the good work, Pope!
@@jeffschielka7845 got to see a lot of concerts from 75 to 80 had a pro scalper on our hockey team. Biggest let down was Al Stewart even the old lady puked lol.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! Quite the lyrical masterpiece by Brian! He commented to Guitar Magazine that the use of the tapping technique was inspired by Texas guitarist Rocky Athas, after seeing one of his performances at Mother Blues, a Dallas club. The lyrics describe a love affair that is on the verge of ending! Of course Freddie’s vocals are amazing! 🎼🎸
Great choice. My favorite album, and my second favorite Queen song from that album. My favorite was always, and still is, Melancholy Blues. Freddie was an incredible talent. Brian too. I was fortunate to meet Brian a few years back and speak briefly to him. I was star struck.
The, 'News Of The World', and, 'Jazz', will always have a special place for me as they're the 2 albums I got to hear first when properly getting into Queen. Second only to, 'Sheer Heart Attack.'
Great job man.....seems like people just keep playing 3-4 hits from Queen over and over. People have to make the effort to dig a little deeper on these guys. JMHO :) peace and love
This is such a great album. Every track is different and the album where Queen's sound would completely change from everything before. A catalyst album, more than the famed A night at the Opera in my mind. You can hear that the album was catered for a global audience with the US in mind. Very US radio-friendly, particularly this track as well as Spread your wings.
The first time I saw them in concert was when this album came out. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve heard this song and I still got goosebumps towards the end. And remembered almost every damn word too. 🖖🍻
One of Brian’s best tracks imo, and then they all deliver. Love Freddie’s vocals. It’s a definite fan fave w/o radio air play. They all were great song writers. You got into the grove fast!
Occasionally, Queen IS a singy-songy band -- it's just not usually their thing. Freddie loved all types of music, including show tunes and ragtime and stuff like that. There are Queen songs matching nearly any genre outside of straight classical.
If you want Punk-Queen, try "Sheer heart attack" from the same Album (and whichwas actually writtenfor their 1974 Album 'sheer heart attack, so years before REAL punk). Queen could Play anything.
You are on point with the word grunge here cause it's one of the favorite album of Kurt Cobain's from Nirvana. He literally played this to death in his dad's car
My favorite Queen song, I never could figure out why this wasn't a hit, well prolly cause it was on same album as we will rock you and we are the champions. To me though this is one of the greatest rock songs of all time.
A tribute to the one true lifelong love of Frederick who loved him so much she moved in to the house next door and was there for him on his passing bed.
“It’s Late” was not written by Freddie, nor was it about Mary Austin at all. It was written by Brian May, and the lyrics are about having a woman at home, but being unable to resist the charms offered to him elsewhere. The first section is him romancing “the other woman” followed by feeling guilty about it; the later sections are the loyal girl at home being suspicious then accusing, and him trying to hang onto her.
Brian May tone is second to none..and thanks for not stopping til the end
This song should have been a # 1 hit.
For an jazzy, funky sound, react to Cool Cat. Just Freddie and John Deacon. John plays all the instruments.
Fabulous and unsettling song, the music fits the words perfectly, you can feel the guilt and anguish of an affair and Freddie as usual wrings out every emotion and leaves me drained.
Wow deep dive! Thanks for covering that forgotten classic!

5:08 bro Freddie here makes a G6 (G6) it is 2 notes higher :o
…it's late, but not too late… 🎼🎵🎶
Really loved your reaction to one of my favorite songs. You looked like me hearing music when nobody watches 😂 I think, I'll have to subscribe...
One of Queens Greatest Songs. Great Album. 😁❤🤘
Thanks for showcasing QUALITY MUSIC!

Awesome song from an incredible album. My senior year of HS
So So So MANY great Queen songs!
Plus... (as with Jon Anderson) unmistakable insanely gorgeous voice!
Great choice. My favorite album, and my second favorite Queen song from that album. My favorite was always, and still is, Melancholy Blues. Freddie was an incredible talent. Brian too. I was fortunate to meet Brian a few years back and speak briefly to him. I was star struck.
Wow!! Was Brian as eloquent in person as he is on video?? Lucky you!! 😁
@@debramoore7513 Yes. He was kind, attentive, looked me in the eye, showed genuine appreciation and sincerity.
Hard rocking song written by Brian May. This is such a great song and they smash it. Thank you for your reaction.
The, 'News Of The World', and, 'Jazz', will always have a special place for me as they're the 2 albums I got to hear first when properly getting into Queen. Second only to, 'Sheer Heart Attack.'
Excellent choice! One of my favorite Queen songs (I’m partial to those that Brian wrote).
If you want to see just how talented, great and unique Queen is...react to the Wembley live concert 1986, a performance by legends
Great reaction. One of Queen’s many underrated songs.
So many hidden gems
Great job man.....seems like people just keep playing 3-4 hits from Queen over and over. People have to make the effort to dig a little deeper on these guys. JMHO :) peace and love
Great song, they had an extensive musical range from hard rock to soft ballads.
Thank you Pope for another awesome Queen reaction !!!♥️
My favorite underrated Queen song!! Should have been a huge hit! The live version is even better!
This is such a great album. Every track is different and the album where Queen's sound would completely change from everything before.

Queen truly were like a fine tuned machine, please check out Liar at the Rainbow.

Dude - U get it! and love ur vids for the rare honesty
Probably my favourite Queen song. This and Now I’m Here.
Same
News of the World is one of the most underrated great albums of all time!

This song has grown on me over the years.
It's so hard to believe this is the same group who recorded Bohemian Rhapsody.
Start with Queen 1 and continue.
My favorite Queen song, I never could figure out why this wasn't a hit, well prolly cause it was on same album as we will rock you and we are the champions. To me though this is one of the greatest rock songs of all time.
Sheer Heart Attack, is punk. Not this.
one of the greatest voices in rock, taken too soon because of bad personal decisions in life
The album cover comes from '52 issue of Astounding Science Fiction magazine.
Great content
You need to listen to Dio - Holy Diver Live in Holland 1983 and when he was in Black Sabbath - Heaven and He’ll (Live).
Smokin
Try out “Don’t Try So Hard” soon! 👍🏼
The Cowsills Hair 1969 IN COLOR !!

Yes. The Montreal version
I love Nine Inch Nails’ cover of GDML too - it’s very faithful to the original, and with the sampling at the very end.
Check out cool cat you will love it
May I suggest The Hitman (Innuendo) 🎸 or Mother Love (Made in Heaven) 🎶
