This video was recorded about a month ago right after my initial listen to queen. So some of the statements/questions asked are based off of the knowledge i had at that moment. Sorry for the late upload on this one.
Glad you said that cause the last Queen reaction I watched from you, you said you were planning on watching the movie The next night. I was gonna bitch at you for that😂
Brian wrote this song for Freddie because Freddie liked ladies (and gentlemen) with ample behinds. Freddie had relationships with women and men before finally moving exclusively to relationships only with men. He lived with a girl named Mary Austin for several years in the 70's but started also seeing men. Freddie and Mary broke up but they stayed very close for the rest of his life. She became Freddie's personal assistant and traveled with him and took care of all of his affairs. Freddie always wanted to keep her close so he kept her in his employ, he always loved her and even bought her a house across the street from him so she would never be far away. Freddie always referred to Mary as his common law wife. When Freddie died he left the bulk of his estate to Mary. When he told her of his intent, she said no, that it should go to his family and other things but Freddie told her had things been as he wished they would have been, she would have been his wife and it all would have been hers anyway.
I actually know someone who was IN LOVE with his fiancé but broke up because he realized he was gay. He said it broke his heart because he wanted to love her and be what she needed but had a "Coming-To-Jesus" moment and spilled his heart. They're still best friends and his family (who always suspected) love him just the same. It's a story with a happy beginning. 🏳🌈
Only Freddie could sing a song with this title and have all the women fall in love with him for doing it. lol Thanks for your reaction... Enjoyed it. Take care and be well. Peace.
Freddie was bisexual in my opinion. He had a relationship with Mary the love of his life. He had relationships with other women also. He had boyfriends and people would say he was gay, I think he was bisexual with preference to men.
I absolutely love seeing this generation fall in love with the sounds that changed my life!!! Queen transcends every stereotype. Period! Its jarring to remember today's kids don't remember how dangerous it was for anyone to openly admit being gay at this time in history. I think the movie trys to be respectful of his gender identity, but he simply transcends all the rules we had imposed on us at that time. He was such an amazing artist ppl who wld normally be openly hostel choose to overlook the things that normally would threaten his life as well as those who admitted being a fan. I'm sure plenty of hate was thrown his way, but not nearly as much as anyone else coming out would have dealt with. Ppl like him helped ppl EVERYWHERE understand how much u miss out if u choose to hate based on gender or sexuel identity. He felt with it definitely, but by in large he was loved and thats amazing!!
Watching you jam out to songs I used to crank up in my car as a teenager really makes me smile . Thank you you for wanting to know more about one of the most amazing bands in rock history. Rock on brother
I love watching you have a great time listening to Queen! They don't need autotune. They had talent and skills. PS. When they sing about " when I left my nursery " they don't mean a baby. Or even a 2ish child.
Guitarist Brian May wrote this song, he also wrote “Tie Your Mother Down”,. “Killer Queen“,. “Keep Yourself Alive”,. “Hammer To Fall”,. “We Will Rock You”,. “The Show Must Go On”, and more.
show must go on wasn't completly his composition but mostly he said in a lot of interviews he wrote the lyrics with Freddie but did most of the work putting it together because Freddie wasn't well
I noticed SMGO I didnt realise you thought Brian wrote KQ Freddie wrote killer Queen and Black Queen Brian wrote white Queen. Freddie wrote love kills (Music moroder) Brian (co) wrote too much love will kill you
"BICYCLE RACE" (official video): You really should watch "Bicycle Race" as it is the flip-side of the same single (in ye olden days of vinyl). Both songs even reference each other as per "Get on your bikes and ride" lyric ("bikes" having two meanings in "Fat Bottomed Girls"). You will also enjoy the video.
Love your reactions!!! Freddie was gay or bi, but they didn't talk about it like nowadays. Freddie was and still is a great icon for that matter, not hiding it, paving the path for the futher lgbtq. Queen IS still playing live concerts around the world. The leadsinger is Adam Lambert, maybe you know him from American Idol. Gonna see them again 3 times this year. I can highly recommend 'Who wants to life forever' Queen and Adam Lambert at The Isle of Wight Festival 2016.
I love your reactions. I know it's a reaction video but never apologize for getting into a song and not commenting on it. It shows just how into the song you were. I needed this. As I'm sitting here typing this I'm waiting to hear if my granddaughter has been born yet and how my daughter is doing. You kept my mind occupied for a little bit and I appreciate that. Due to covid rules family isn't allowed in the waiting area which this is my first grandchild being born and her first daughter being born. She has her hubby with her and my youngest daughter is supposed to be with them but they haven't let her up yet. Waiting for my daughter who's having the baby covid test to come back. I know if my youngest was up there she would keep me updated. Keep the songs coming from Queen. I knew this song by the way just didn't see the video until now and yes I saw the face you're talking about.
Fat Bottomed Girls was released as a double A-side along with Bicycle Race. The lyrics of the song contain the text line “Get on your bikes and ride”, a clear reference to the other A-side. Bicycle Race has the text “Fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today, so look out for those beauties, oh yeah” which refers back again.
I grew up with this song being the anthem to my Aunty. My dad had it playing every time she came to visit, literally as she walked up the stairs to our door. I don’t know how she felt about it, but it will always be her song for me.
Love your reaction! Freddie was assumed to be bisexual, but he was gay. And Queens true fans didn't care. The women loved Freddie and we would have loved to be one of his Fat Bottomed Girls!
Subbed!!! Love your Queen reactions. You’re genuinely interested in their catalogue, and their backgrounds. That’s what makes you a good reactor, it shows respect to their legacy. Sure there are Queen songs I don’t like that much, or not being liked in general. But hey, they have a song in it for everyone. I think that makes their huge fanbase. I hope you want to check out some live stuff. Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow. Much bless youngman and keep up the good work.
Also from Wikipedia... the one who wrote this song was Brian May( lead guitarist), he is also an astrophysicist... so when he hypothesized that fat bottom women made the world go around, no one argued, just sayen...
Nice reaction! The live version at Milton Keynes 1982 is even better. The songwriter guitarist Brian May said he wrote this song with Freddie in mind knowing Freddie enjoyed fat bottoms of all kinds female and male.
I think he started saying that because of his comments that DSMN was sepratisim Freddie wrote bicycle race first which included the line fat bottom girls
This song was written by Brian May, the incredible guitar player and Astronomer-Physicist. Brian was so mild-mannered but wrote the sexiest booty song ever!
This song was I believe a double A Side with "Bicycle Race" (which is why Freddie yells "get on your bikes and ride!), the songs go together and should be listened to together.
Freddie's sexuality is debatable, he said he lived for sex and would sleep with anyone, which says to me he was a sex addict. Many of his friends said he was Bisexual, some said he was gay. So who knows for sure. Personally I think he was living a life of hedonism, and may have been Bisexual or a Biromantic. But really, does it really matter? What's really important is he was a great talented man, who was a loving kind man, very shy and insecure about himself. He overcame all that to become number one.
One important: Since being with any kind of same sex was a big nono back then a lot of bisexual men from that era was just labeled as gay just because they liked men as well. So often even people I know who are bisexual refer to themself as gay. I think Freddie was bisexual.
@@DrRhyhm Many still label Bisexuals as Gay. I think people today want him to be labeled as the Gay icon and dismissed or say it's a lie he was with women after Mary. Mick Rock who spent a lot of time with Freddie in New York said he saw Freddie take women into his bedroom several times and spend the night with them, even Peter Freestone said Freddie would go with women now and then. Freddie really shouldn't be put in a box. Freddie lived his life uniquely.
Sir I used to be subbed to over 40 reaction channels. Now I am down to 5. And yes your channel is on of the 5. Keep up the good work. Best of times to you and those you love.
the face thing is called pareidolia it's the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern The scientific explanation for some people is pareidolia, or the human ability to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness. Think of the Rorschach inkblot test.
I have always enjoyed this song so I’m glad you enjoyed it also. One of my happy memories is the time my part-time preacher son realized on a road trip that my four youngest (all under ten) knew this song and loved to barrel down the road singing along with Freddie.
He had a female companion ( don't know if he was bi or she was just his companion), but he was considered gay. He was also making songs for mass appeal, so he didn't talk directly about his not accepted lifestyle in this time period.
Completely dig your vibe as you watch an oldie I grew up with! Any jive you make up during the last rifts, evolves each time you listen. Freddie was just cool and had a great voice, nobody cared he was gay. That’s what many don’t understand, growing up as a kid in the 70s, nobody really cared about “race”, either friends or not yet friends. That simple. Keep jamming!
You got a sub for your reactions my good man, enjoying them (I see your 'other half' is practising social distancing). Fun fact: Guitarist Brian May interrupted studying a research degree in astronomy to try being in a band. 30 years later, he completed his PhD and is now Dr Brian May, astrophysicist.
Freddie Mercury, the singer, was a complicated guy. He was engaged to.a lovely woman named Mary , they were very much in love. He was 24 & she was19 when they started dating & were together for about 6 years. Eventual they broke up.cayenne confessed that he was bisexual. She told him he was gay. They remained close friends and he left her his mansion & a large part of his estate. They really loved each other but he had to face the truth about himself. The other guys in the band were straight, but they al! loved each other like brothers.
The inspiration for this song, just like Freddie's "Bicycle Race", was an actual bicycle race, the Tour De France. They were recording their "Jazz" album in France, they watched the race and the rest is History.
Brian May wrote this song (he is straight) Freddie being the ultimate professional and showman just put his heart and soul into it, and bearing in mind, he would be classed as bi - he loved Mary. He really did.
They've "sanitized" some of the lyrics in recent years, but originally it DID SAY - Heap , big woman (a native American Indian term) "their beauty & their style wore kinda smooth after awhile, take me to them LARDY LADIES EVERYTIME"
I just watched a couple of your reactions, one of which was to Queens Rhapsody. I went through browsing a few minutes an thought I ain't heard fat bottom in a whole minute and bam this pops up. Guess the implant worked ;) keep that hunger for great music and understanding homie, that nice hair too man keep that too...
I grew up with Queen, Freddie is the GOAT. There will never be a lead singer like him again. Welcome to to the worderful world of Queen music. Try anything from Live Aid, 1985, or Queen live at Wembley Stadium 1986 (I was there).
Because Freddie put everything he had into singing Queen's songs people mistakenly assume he wrote them, too. This song and many others (Who Wants To Live Forever, Too Much Love Will Kill You, etc.) were written by Brian May. So when one attributes the meaning of the lyrics to the singer it doesn't match. Some of these songs were written for or about Freddie by his band mates.
My favorite song for my wife. Heck no that's a compliment not an insult! Damn now I need a manican for my private channel.... wife's away with fam lol.
I’m so glad you finally listened to this!! Freddie was a funny guy and it shows in his songs!! If you watch a different video of this song they have naked girls riding on bikes!! Lol boo boobs though!! Haha‼️Keep bringing us Queen‼️👑
From my understanding, Fat Bottomed Girls, was actually meant as a compliment, because when Freddie did have relationships ith women, before dating men, he liked big buts, and didn't like skinny girls 😊
Back in the 80s, MTV, which was the biggest music sensation in the US, banned some of Queen's videos, and I know some radio stations wouldn't play there music, so their commercial success was really hurt here. When I was in high school, nobody talked about Queen, even though they were very hot in the UK and elsewhere.
Considering this song was released in 1978 (when I was a junior in college…..Ah, good times, ha ha), I’m not sure what else they could have called this song other than Fat Bottomed Girls. Back then, I don’t think any (successful) group used the word ‘ass’ in song titles. Plus you have to keep in mind that these guys are British (or were, in Freddie’s case ☹️). Maybe ‘fat-bottomed’ was or is a typical way to describe someone’s behind in England, and that’s why they used it. Or maybe it just fit the song better than any other descriptor. Who knows? A challenging song to perform well, but, as usual, Queen makes it look easy. Thanks for this and all of your Queen reactions! And good luck learning that German!
In the 1970’s a couple hundred naked woman in Paris, France were protesting something (I don’t remember what) so Brian May (the guitarist) wrote this song about them. Freddie was gay but for years he had a girlfriend called Mary something but he couldn’t pretend anymore and they stayed close all his life, and he left most of his fortune to her. None of the other guys were gay.
Freddie was gay but wasn’t out for a while. He also has an intense, close female girlfriend turned friend - even soulmate. Complicated times - you’ll see when you finish the movie
Love your content. My dad made sure we knew all the classic your videos are the best. Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest rock n roll artists of all time.
Free your mind, and your ass will follow... glad you are expanding your list and it includes some queen... queen did the soundtrack for Highlander (1986 cult classic about immortals who could only die if their head was cut off, then their energy passed to the immortal that took it. In the end... There can be only one!) . The top three songs are ... who wants to live forever, princes of the universe, give me the prize ( the bad guy's song)...
Queen's 7th studio album was given to my mother by her two nieces and we played it a lot learning every little detail about each of the songs. Controversy came in the enclosed poster of the first ever nude bicycle race, which is included in While he wrote this, Freddie wrote the B side to this Bicycle Race. Controversy came in the enclosed poster of the first ever nude bicycle race, and the video is R Rated because it has video of that "race". Both songs reference each other (get on your bikes and ride) and Bicycle Race has the line "Fat Bottomed Girls will be riding today..." Three songs that get left out from this album include the title track, More of That Jazz written and sung by drummer Roger, Dreamers Ball written by Brian as a tribute to Elvis and sung by Freddie where Brian tweaks amplifiers to make his guitar sound like different instruments in a regular band, and Don't Stop Me Now, probably the happiest sounding song of all time. Looking forward to your next venture.
My 3 yr old son went around singing this. One night he just broke into song at his Grandparents dinner table. The looks on their faces😂 His Uncle played this album all the time. Consider what kids hear now, it was pretty mild☮️
Yes. Freddie was gay, but this song was written by Brian May, the lead guitarist. All four members wrote songs for the group. The two other songs you have reacted to, "Somebody To Love" and "Bohemian Rhapsody", though, were both written by Freddie. Other interesting facts that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet, is that the guitar that Brian May is playing was built in his garage by he and his father and he is still using it concerts today. Another fun fact, all four members have college degrees. Freddie has a degree in graphic design and illustration; Brian May has a degree in physics and has done graduate work in astronomy; Roger Taylor has a degree in biology; and John Deacon earned a degree in electronics with first-class honors.
One of his greatest memes I've ever seen said, "Astrophysicist B May, assisted by F Mercury, in the 70s asserted that Fat Bottomed Girls make the world go around. To this day, no one has scientifically proven this to be wrong & therefore is now fact." LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣
He was very bisexual and promiscuous, but mostly gay in his later years for sure. I think it's sweet that his ex-wife remained his best friend and helped take care of him as he died
Another good one, agreed it's a fun song to listen to. This reminds me, is Toby Keith's "Not as Good as I Once Was" on your list of reactions? If it'd be a fun reaction to that video. Hilarious, even if you don't like country.
If you want to be really amazed, listen to Queen's most popular song, "Bohemian Rhapsody". Watch the official version, it has a few extra special sound effect tricks that they can't do live on stage.
The guitarist wrote "Fat Bottomed Girls" ....he also wrote "Tie Your Mother Down".....and lyrics like "down in the dungeon just Peaches and me"... Make of that what you will...!
"U2 - Bad (Live Aid 1985)" this band is an Irish rock band from Dublin, a very popular band. Lead singer's name is Bono. I won't say more so as to not interfere with your reaction.
A great album cut by Queen is from their album called A Day At The Races. It is called White Man. One of the great things about Queen is the fact that their album cuts also have so very much to offer and often rival their hits. If all you are hearing are the hits by Queen, you are definitely cheating yourself, especially their album cuts from the 1970's!
Seeing faces in things that do not have faces is called Pareidolia. It might just be a chance thing if it doesn't happen to you often but a lot people will see them often in inanimate objects (rocks, trees, cars,etc) anything really. I've had it happen with so many things.
This video was recorded about a month ago right after my initial listen to queen. So some of the statements/questions asked are based off of the knowledge i had at that moment. Sorry for the late upload on this one.
Yes Freddie was Gay .. but I would say he had women experiences also .. watch the movie lol
Glad you said that cause the last Queen reaction I watched from you, you said you were planning on watching the movie The next night. I was gonna bitch at you for that😂
Watch the movie and give us your review on in!
Glad you are going for the ride... have you heard "bicycle race" yet? It's another classic...
@chanelstuff 😂😂

Freddie & Mary were engaged for a while while they lived together.
@@lynnhoffmann247 Yes, that is correct. Freddie gave her an engagement ring for Christmas.
One of few actually genuine past rock legends

They're still best friends and his family (who always suspected) love him just the same. It's a story with a happy beginning. 🏳🌈
Freddie referred to Mary as the love of his life, even though he dated men.
Only Freddie could sing a song with this title and have all the women fall in love with him for doing it. lol Thanks for your reaction... Enjoyed it. Take care and be well. Peace.

Freddie wrote "Killer Queen"! Brian wrote "White Queen"!
Freddie wrote Killer Queen
I noticed SMGO
I didnt realise you thought Brian wrote KQ
Freddie wrote killer Queen and Black Queen
Brian wrote white Queen.
Freddie wrote love kills
(Music moroder)
Brian (co) wrote too much love will kill you
I’m loving your reactions Thankyou, Queen make the Rockin world 🌎 go round RIP Freddie
"BICYCLE RACE" (official video): You really should watch "Bicycle Race" as it is the flip-side of the same single (in ye olden days of vinyl). Both songs even reference each other as per "Get on your bikes and ride" lyric ("bikes" having two meanings in "Fat Bottomed Girls"). You will also enjoy the video.
All the more amply proportioned ladies loved this one, and would be up on their feet dancing to it at Queen concerts!
THIS IS THE GREATEST RABBIT HOLE YOU'VE FELL IN FAM.... SOOOOOOO HERE FOR THIS. #Queen #TooBlunt
Love your reactions!!!
Freddie was gay or bi, but they didn't talk about it like nowadays. Freddie was and still is a great icon for that matter, not hiding it, paving the path for the futher lgbtq.
Queen IS still playing live concerts around the world. The leadsinger is Adam Lambert, maybe you know him from American Idol. Gonna see them again 3 times this year.
I can highly recommend 'Who wants to life forever' Queen and Adam Lambert at The Isle of Wight Festival 2016.
You must see that video with Adam. It is mind blowingly great!.
Holy fuck! Adam Lambert is singing with Queen 🤯😍

"Baby Got Back" and "Fat Bottom Girls" same difference.
Baby Got Back was written in 1992, and Fat bottomed girls was written pre 1978 (date of first release) there is a difference of close to 20 years.
@@bethdunn7969 you are missing the point. It's basically the same theme.

Who he fucked with doesnt really matter, but what he left behind.
I saw Queen in concert with Thin Lizzy in the 70s. STILL remains THE best concert! Check out Thin Lizzy song Jail Break!
Queen was one of the best bands of all time. We lost a legend to early.
Sir I used to be subbed to over 40 reaction channels. Now I am down to 5. And yes your channel is on of the 5. Keep up the good work. Best of times to you and those you love.
Thanks for the comment:) happy to have you here
Your style of going down the rabbit hole when it fascinates you, I llloovvveee and with Freddie / Queen .... There is NO END. ❤❤❤
Freddie was a person who loved EVERYBODY...

I saw a Dalek lol
When you bought the album it came with a long poster with hundreds of girls riding bicycles naked! That’s a vinyl record for the youngsters.
Freddy Mercury the best singer and performer ever. RIP Freddy. You’re so missed. Thank God we have your music and videos of you forever

This song makes me laugh. What a silly song, love it!
Thx for the grt vid. Your reactions are so uplifting

Keep jamming!
I mean, some people did care, but they knew to keep it to themselves and keep their mouths shut about that shit back then.
Sometimes I worry I am not doing enough to contribute and then I realize I make the rockin' world go round.
the beauty of a good queen song is two verses in you can belt out the corus perfectly
Everyone fell in love with Freddie, straight guys, gay guys,
Straight and gay girls wanted him. Truth💕💕
Love your reactions. You always put a smile on my face.
Thanks 😊. Hope you have an awesome week. ❤️✌🏻

Freddie Mercury, the singer, was a complicated guy. He was engaged to.a lovely woman named Mary , they were very much in love. He was 24 & she was19 when they started dating & were together for about 6 years. Eventual they broke up.cayenne confessed that
he was bisexual. She told him he was gay. They remained close friends and he left her his mansion & a large part of his estate.
They really loved each other but he had to face the truth about himself. The other guys in the band were straight, but they al! loved each other like brothers.
You have a passion for music, it's as a listener, I love it
The inspiration for this song, just like Freddie's "Bicycle Race", was an actual bicycle race, the Tour De France. They were recording their "Jazz" album in France, they watched the race and the rest is History.
Love all you reactions. So pure so kind. So lovely.
0.27 "fat bottomed girls, that sounds so weird!" "it's almost like an insult!" - So you think it's too blunt? 😁😁
Brian May wrote this song (he is straight) Freddie being the ultimate professional and showman just put his heart and soul into it, and bearing in mind, he would be classed as bi - he loved Mary. He really did.
They've "sanitized" some of the lyrics in recent years, but originally it DID SAY - Heap , big woman (a native American Indian term) "their beauty & their style wore kinda smooth after awhile, take me to them LARDY LADIES EVERYTIME"
I just watched a couple of your reactions, one of which was to Queens Rhapsody. I went through browsing a few minutes an thought I ain't heard fat bottom in a whole minute and bam this pops up. Guess the implant worked ;) keep that hunger for great music and understanding homie, that nice hair too man keep that too...
You are a DELIGHT! ❤️❤️🤣
I always love your reactions! You're amazing!!!
Keep your videos coming mate. Loving it.
I grew up with Queen, Freddie is the GOAT. There will never be a lead singer like him again. Welcome to to the worderful world of Queen music. Try anything from Live Aid, 1985, or Queen live at Wembley Stadium 1986 (I was there).
Because Freddie put everything he had into singing Queen's songs people mistakenly assume he wrote them, too. This song and many others (Who Wants To Live Forever, Too Much Love Will Kill You, etc.) were written by Brian May. So when one attributes the meaning of the lyrics to the singer it doesn't match. Some of these songs were written for or about Freddie by his band mates.
My favorite song for my wife. Heck no that's a compliment not an insult! Damn now I need a manican for my private channel.... wife's away with fam lol.
I’m so glad you finally listened to this!! Freddie was a funny guy and it shows in his songs!! If you watch a different video of this song they have naked girls riding on bikes!! Lol boo boobs though!! Haha‼️Keep bringing us Queen‼️👑
Good lord, bicycle race. That’s one of my favorites songs but the video is a bit too much.
From my understanding, Fat Bottomed Girls, was actually meant as a compliment, because when Freddie did have relationships ith women, before dating men, he liked big buts, and didn't like skinny girls 😊
This was the 70s. This was before " junk in the trunk" and " fine gadonk-kadonk"...
Back in the 80s, MTV, which was the biggest music sensation in the US, banned some of Queen's videos, and I know some radio stations wouldn't play there music, so their commercial success was really hurt here. When I was in high school, nobody talked about Queen, even though they were very hot in the UK and elsewhere.
Considering this song was released in 1978 (when I was a junior in college…..Ah, good times, ha ha), I’m not sure what else they could have called this song other than Fat Bottomed Girls. Back then, I don’t think any (successful) group used the word ‘ass’ in song titles. Plus you have to keep in mind that these guys are British (or were, in Freddie’s case ☹️). Maybe ‘fat-bottomed’ was or is a typical way to describe someone’s behind in England, and that’s why they used it. Or maybe it just fit the song better than any other descriptor. Who knows? A challenging song to perform well, but, as usual, Queen makes it look easy. Thanks for this and all of your Queen reactions! And good luck learning that German!
In the 1970’s a couple hundred naked woman in Paris, France were protesting something (I don’t remember what) so Brian May (the guitarist) wrote this song about them. Freddie was gay but for years he had a girlfriend called Mary something but he couldn’t pretend anymore and they stayed close all his life, and he left most of his fortune to her. None of the other guys were gay.
Great video! You gotta listen to dont stop me now the vibes of the song is incredible
You might want to watch Queen singing "Only The Good Die Young" i think Brian May (the guitar guy)wrote after Freddie died. Very touching.
Freddie was gay but wasn’t out for a while. He also has an intense, close female girlfriend turned friend - even soulmate. Complicated times - you’ll see when you finish the movie
Love your content. My dad made sure we knew all the classic your videos are the best. Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest rock n roll artists of all time.
The thing to remember is that Mr. Mercury didn't write every song Queen made. The straight members wrote about straight guy in the 70's stuff.
Men couldn't find fault with him loving women, and women couldn't fault his love for men... Perfect man
Freddie was bi-sexual, but spent most of his life in gay relationships.
Free your mind, and your ass will follow... glad you are expanding your list and it includes some queen... queen did the soundtrack for Highlander (1986 cult classic about immortals who could only die if their head was cut off, then their energy passed to the immortal that took it. In the end... There can be only one!) . The top three songs are ... who wants to live forever, princes of the universe, give me the prize ( the bad guy's song)...
Queen's 7th studio album was given to my mother by her two nieces and we played it a lot learning every little detail about each of the songs. Controversy came in the enclosed poster of the first ever nude bicycle race, which is included in
While he wrote this, Freddie wrote the B side to this Bicycle Race. Controversy came in the enclosed poster of the first ever nude bicycle race, and the video is R Rated because it has video of that "race". Both songs reference each other (get on your bikes and ride) and Bicycle Race has the line "Fat Bottomed Girls will be riding today..."
Three songs that get left out from this album include the title track, More of That Jazz written and sung by drummer Roger, Dreamers Ball written by Brian as a tribute to Elvis and sung by Freddie where Brian tweaks amplifiers to make his guitar sound like different instruments in a regular band, and Don't Stop Me Now, probably the happiest sounding song of all time.
Looking forward to your next venture.
the two songs were released as a double A side not A and B
they were both played together and charted together
reaching no 11 uk
@1.13, I think you can see the face of Freddie Mercury blended into the background. You can make it his mustache.
My 3 yr old son went around singing this. One night he just broke into song at his Grandparents dinner table. The looks on their faces😂 His Uncle played this album all the time. Consider what kids hear now, it was pretty mild☮️
All that Jazz album had a poster insert of fifty naked women on bicycles and featured this song.
He was considered openly bi. However I've known a section of the gay community who appreciated a voluptuous fun woman.
Freddie had that goin' on with Barbara Valentine, she was in their "It's a Hard Life" video.
Yes. Freddie was gay, but this song was written by Brian May, the lead guitarist.
All four members wrote songs for the group. The two other songs you have reacted to, "Somebody To Love" and "Bohemian Rhapsody", though, were both written by Freddie.
Other interesting facts that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet, is that the guitar that Brian May is playing was built in his garage by he and his father and he is still using it concerts today.
Another fun fact, all four members have college degrees. Freddie has a degree in graphic design and illustration; Brian May has a degree in physics and has done graduate work in astronomy; Roger Taylor has a degree in biology; and John Deacon earned a degree in electronics with first-class honors.
One of his greatest memes I've ever seen said, "Astrophysicist B May, assisted by F Mercury, in the 70s asserted that Fat Bottomed Girls make the world go around. To this day, no one has scientifically proven this to be wrong & therefore is now fact." LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣
this was before most hip hop and sir mix allot. and it was also a semi parody of many contemporary country songs.
He was very bisexual and promiscuous, but mostly gay in his later years for sure. I think it's sweet that his ex-wife remained his best friend and helped take care of him as he died
The last Freddie video is a must. These our the days of our lives.
You need to react to the song referenced in Fat Bottom Girls, Freddy referenced in this song. It's called Bycycle Race. You will be suprised.
😂😂 yep you are Tripping
The movie is not a Documentary. It doesn’t even depict Freddie as he really was . It was a horrible script in my , and many other peoples opinion.💕
Another good one, agreed it's a fun song to listen to. This reminds me, is Toby Keith's "Not as Good as I Once Was" on your list of reactions? If it'd be a fun reaction to that video. Hilarious, even if you don't like country.
Man your wife cracks me up...😂😂😂
He Speaks!!!!
the greatest love song ever written.
Brian wrote this, Freddie had a complicated love life
Freddie was with Joe when this album was recorded,he had left David of 3 years for him
he had left Mary for David
BICYCLE RACE NEXT!! 🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️ The video my make you blush!
The Miracle, is a really great funny video by Queen
This is my teenage nephews' favorite Queen song. This is the original song about big butts.
Have you checked out Queen - Breakthrou.
If you want to be really amazed, listen to Queen's most popular song, "Bohemian Rhapsody". Watch the official version, it has a few extra special sound effect tricks that they can't do live on stage.
The guitarist wrote "Fat Bottomed Girls" ....he also wrote "Tie Your Mother Down".....and lyrics like "down in the dungeon just Peaches and me"...
Make of that what you will...!
"U2 - Bad (Live Aid 1985)" this band is an Irish rock band from Dublin, a very popular band. Lead singer's name is Bono. I won't say more so as to not interfere with your reaction.
A great album cut by Queen is from their album called A Day At The Races. It is called White Man. One of the great things about Queen is the fact that their album cuts also have so very much to offer and often rival their hits. If all you are hearing are the hits by Queen, you are definitely cheating yourself, especially their album cuts from the 1970's!
Freddie was bi-sexual. However, he did love one woman right up to the day he died.
Seeing faces in things that do not have faces is called Pareidolia. It might just be a chance thing if it doesn't happen to you often but a lot people will see them often in inanimate objects (rocks, trees, cars,etc) anything really. I've had it happen with so many things.
