    Your reaction is spot on! I love Innuendo 💗 entire album is amazing ❤ in this song is so much truth and inspiration!
    Who would tell, that Freddie was dying when he did this album. OMG this is not voice of dying man.
    Freddie kept pushing until his last days. I admire and love Freddie so much💗🕊
    He achieved in 45 years more, than people in 100 years 🤴

    I think the complexity of this great song has limited its popularity, it’s too complicated for the most people, it's a sharing composition. It contains the handprints of all four of them, but Freddie's artistic imagination is the most serious.

    • @JelaniStokes
      @JelaniStokes  2 роки тому +5

      This is the main reason I pointed out how the beginning section was repeated at the end. It allowed the listener to grasp on to something that they were already familiar with. It can be difficult for the causal listener to continuously listen to different sections of music for the duration.

  • @BadgersInTheAttic
    @BadgersInTheAttic 2 роки тому +10

    The thing I love about this song, is that, after years of focusing on "disposable pop" (Freddie's words, not mine) they came back to something that really shows off all of their virtuosic skills: Roger's amazing stick control at the beginning (for more of that, check out "Freedom Train" on his solo album, _Happiness?_) Brian's soaring guitar solos, John's rock steady bass, and of course Freddie's amazing vocals, along with their trademark harmonies. I've always been a bigger fan of their early work, and this hearkens back to that, while still offering something new.

    • @JelaniStokes
      @JelaniStokes  2 роки тому +2

    It wasn't the final album, they released a couple more after Freddie passed away, and it was his idea too keep writing and recording, the rest of Queen were told a couple of years beforehand about his diagnosis, and they never spoke about it again, he just lived as he'd always done in the moment, he kept working in the studio until around June/ July, but kept writing and would record some at home, and they'd add the music, as he says himself I know I'm not going too be around long enough for the music but I'll tape it, he decided a couple of weeks before he passed that he'd stop all medication and put out the statement the day before he died, so he knew he was never going back outside of his beloved home

    Freddie Mercury, giving us spectacular lessons through the art of music also using visual artistry to galvanize our attention, showing humanity through the ages, different cultures dealing with what was - yet moving forward with positivity. . . they kept on trying . . . he did - we will - we must. (I've found a video of most of John Deacon's bass on Queen's work and also on Freddie with Montserrat's "How Can I Go On". So happy to have.). Thanks for this.

      @@roverwaters3875 Wikipedia - Innuendo features a flamenco guitar section performed by Yes guitarist Steve Howe and Brian May. ✅
      STEVE HOWE - “Inside, there’s Freddie, Brian, and Roger all sitting together. They go: ‘Let’s play you the album’. Of course, I’m hearing it for the first time ..and they saved Innuendo itself until last. They played it and I was f#cking blown away. They all chimed in: ‘We want some crazy Spanish guitar flying around over the top. Improvise!’ I started noodling around on the guitar, and it was pretty tough. After a couple of hours, I thought: ‘I’ve bitten off more than I can chew here.’ I had to learn a bit of the structure, work out what the chordal roots were where you had to fall if you did a mad run in the distance; you have to know where you’re going. But it got towards evening and we’d doodled and I’d noodled, and it turned out to be really good fun. We have this beautiful dinner, we go back to the studio and have a listen. And they go: ‘That’s great. That’s what we wanted.’

      next time do not contradict me
      "MAY: The Spanish motif is suggested from the start; those little rifts at the beginning are sort of Bolero-esque. It seemed like the natural thing to explore those ideas on an acoustic guitar, and it just gradually evolved. Steve Howe helped out and did a fantastic job. We love all that stuff - it's like a little fantasyland adventure."

    I think you are so kind and well spoken. Very smart. My question I have been dying to ask someone. And who better than a bass player. Unless John Deacon had a solo, I have a hard time hearing the bass. I played viola and felt no one heard us. Lol. Can you explain?

    • @JelaniStokes
      @JelaniStokes  2 роки тому +1

      That's a great question and something I'm always asking myself 😂 In all seriousness, the likely reason is due to the low warm frequency that a bass emits. The main job for a bass player is to keep the time (along with the Drummer) and set tonality of each chord (In simple terms, the bass decides the key the song will be in). So with those duties in mind, most bass parts in arrangements are there to set the foundations for the others to shine. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it!! 😁😁

    I'd never listened to this one carefully before, thank you for that. Because you're both a bass guitarist and a music teacher, I'd love to see you respond to the a cappella group, Voice Play. Specifically, I'm interested in your response to Geoff Castellucci and the way he sings the bass guitar lines. If you're not familiar with them, VoicePlay has a humorous, theatrical bent (along w/ the expected vocal excellence). After listening to your Dimash SOS reactions, I realized you probably would have some interesting opinions on Castellucci. This morning I thought maybe the best one to suggest is their medley "Queen in 5 minutes" -- then I checked my list of reactors, and here you are, responding to Queen. please do VoicePlay? Edit: I went back and listened again, and maybe Tennessee Whiskey has the prettier bass line. Disclaimer: I've been listening to music all of my life, but never looked for information about what I was listening to... so, not sure what I'm asking for, just any nuggets of info that will help me better appreciate what I'm hearing.
