Imagine how hard it was when Freddie was singing this song when he knew he was dying It takes on a whole new meaning
Freddie was not diagnosed until 1987 and this song debuted in the 1986 Concert Tour
Sharon,he probably knew something as he had been tested quietly in Germany and although those tests were primitive,he had a idea.Brian wrote it,but yes it's ironic.The last two records were filled with hints that the end was near.
@@sharonmuntz1872 why not use ther BEST Songs!?
@@sharonmuntz1872Freddie suspected he was ill in 1986. Mary Austin said he knew. He was diagnosed with full-blown AIDS in 1987.
This song was written for the movie Highlander which came out in 1986, before he was diagnosed
Freddie died over 30 years ago and last month at a concert over 30,000 sang with the piped in opening music. Because every one knows the lyrics... Freddie is as close as living forever as you can get.
In 2017, over 60,000 people in Hyde Park in London did the same to BohRhap. They were waiting for a Green Day concert to start.
Yes.....he lives forever....his soul...and spirit...goes on for ever....for eternity..............😂
Brian May is an astrophysicist and one of the VERY BEST guitar players ever! I so glad I got to grow up with the best music ever made. No synthesizers, no digital noise, just pure, unadulterated talent.
Maybe so, but I have never understood the line "touch my wart with your fingertips". I have often thought that someone as bright as Brian May might have realised that this gambit might harm the song's intended effect.
I mean, I get that touching your loved one's wart with your fingertips might convey a sense of genuine intimacy in terms of an epic love song...but no. Just no. No one likes warts.
(Or have I made a mistake?)
@Ingens_Scherz LOL It's " You touch my lips with your tears. You touch my world with your fingertips. " I like the wart line, though 😊
@@Ingens_Scherzclown 🤡
Well said❤Aren’t we lucky we grew up with this extraordinary music?!
You've stated a fact, Queen fans are pretty devoted. We love our Freddie, John, Roger and Brian.
To the end and back again!
My favourite Queen song ,which comes from Highlander,a very cool movie.The song with the scenes from the movie is totally heartbreaking,as he never ages but his wife does.It's also ironically a tribute to Freddie Mercury's tragic end.
John Deacon was in the red jacket playing the double bass. He learned that instrument specifically for this song!
I was thinking that was a cello. That's how much I know!
@@barbsaracini7866They do get mixed up sometimes, it's an easy mistake to make. Easy way to distinguish them is size. Cellos are played from a sitting position, double bass from standing because they're huge!
I think using a bow throws people too as you more often see a double bass played by string plucking. Apparently plucking is used for rock and blues whereas the bow is more common in orchestral settings. Crazy amount of commitment these guys had for their music though. Brian May learned to play the harp for one song too!
Thank you! I wasn't sure of that😊
The day Freddie died it was basically announced worldwide by playing this song. I had just casually switched on the radio and fell into the intro of this song (my memory tells me it was at the end of the afternoon but I might be wrong) and immediately thought “hmmm… that is an odd choice for a Queen song to play” and felt immediately it must be because someone had passed away. Remember, it was never confirmed that he was sick but around the release of the Innuendo album it was clear to anyone that he wasn’t well. But the news he had passed away still came as a shock.
It was confirmed he had aids a day before he passed away
@@keithscott4013 Yeah, I remember that, because that's when I started crying.
My heart broke that day
Actually he announced his diagnosis the day before he died. I was 13 at the time and my mother was a huge fan of Queen, and especially Freddie, so I grew up with their music. Back in those days AIDS was pretty much still a death sentence so the news was shocking. And then to hear he passed away the day after that... It was shock upon shock. They're still to this day one of my favorite rock bands of all time and Freddie the best and most versatile male singer I've ever heard. Every single time I hear this song it brings me to tears, thinking of the people I've lost. We played it at both my parents' memorial services and now, 3 months after losing my husband, I'm bawling again. Music really is a kind of magic.
I remember hearing it at lunch that day on the radio and just starting to cry knowing he sang this song knowing he was going to die from AIDs.
I'm 46 so 70s baby. Raised in a generation of the best vocals of all time! I still cry over loosing Freddie 😢 he does live forever in our hearts 💕
Born in 64… I had the privilege to see Freddy on stage. When he died I actually cried.
👍🌷
@@icarsten6625 And yet, you can't spell FREDDIE.
🥺….. Never a day goes without thinking of him … everyone I’ve lost as well …. my Grandparents… my cousins, friends
@@decodolly1535 and still it makes no difference to how you spell someone's name.
Do this song live at Wembley 1986.
Queen is so much better live.
So much better!!!
This is from the movie Highlander. It's about an immortal man and how all his loves die. Yall should do White Queen live at Hammersmith it's mind blowing. That was John on the stand up bass.
Side note, the only good thing about Flash Gordon is the score… Highlander is decent, flash? Cult classic… but the score… damn!
The Highlander is one of my favorite movies, you guys should definitely react to it.
They are epic. You really need to do The Show Must Go On. Best studio vocals ever by Freddie
That is debatable, there are better vocals from Freddie even on the same album.
Yes the show must go on is epic .
Please add I T"S LATE-QUEEN 🔥🔥🔥
I second that (Show Must Go On) - devastating vocals - important to hear it knowing the context of how it was written (mainly by Brian May) - during Freddie's illlness, the band knowing what was going to happen, Freddie knowing . . . it's an allegory for both the band and the life we all fight to live. Life is the show that must go on. And it can be a wicked pain in the ass.
These guys asked for a list - Queen's catalogue is massive. Of the better-known songs I'd say Under Pressure (that's a co-write with David Bowie, live or studio both excel) and Innuendo (no live performance for obvious reasons), both songs as timely now as they were then. More timely and relevant, if anything. If they haven't done those already.
I'd love to see someone react to Sheer Heart Attack 1979 Hammersmith Odeon. No one ever does that one. Best excursion into Queen madness ever. If you have high blood pressure already Do Not Watch 😁. It's wonderful.
Melancholy Blues, March of the Black Queen . . . MotBQ could never be performed live except using small snippets - that was all pre-autotune pre-computer, tape overdubs till the tapes ran clear. The studio craftsmanship precursor to Bohemian Rhapsody.
@@ZENOBlAmusic for example? The only songs where his vocals are better (more demanding also ) are the Hitman and gimme the prize ,maybe also some songs of his opera album
Freddie was already sick when he made this song. I just can't even imagine his feelings. No accident that he sounds and looks like an angel. We miss you Freddie. RIP
Science has officially confirmed what fans already knew about FREDDIE'S
VOICE : he had an unequivocally great singing voice. Classical opera
singer has a vibrato in the range of 5,4 -6,9 Hz, but Mercury's vibrato
moved at whopping 7,04 Hz Read the full story ( published in
Logopedicks Phoniatrics Vocology ) you'll find in this article a lot of
other interesting info about his voice.
btw Freddie had 4 octave range
react to Fat bottomed girls at Milton Keynes Bowl 82
Freddie knew he was going to die when be did this. Freddie is amazing and no one will ever match him.
Freddy…. What a voice, what charisma… I miss you.
Freddie too
Queen is a band where every member sings and writes. And every member of the band has penned at least one Number One hit single. 😎
and of course the Beatles had been there and done that already.
Well, technically they all sing but I don't think I've heard a single track where John Deacon sings solo, even just for a small section - he's always a harmony singer with the rest.
@@Londoneye57 Yes, but the relationship was on a much more equitable level with Queen vs the Beatles more unequal partnership.
George Harrison had so little input against Lennon/McCartney's songwriting duo that he had a whole double album worth of material when the Beatles broke up.
That album "All Things Must Pass" became the best selling of any of their solo works to date (or at least it was when I looked it up a decade ago) - I don't think that is a coincidence.
, absolutely right, I think it outsold Imagine and Band on the run added together. But the point was, each member of the Beatles had a number one hit as well as singing and writing.
@@Londoneye57 No they haven’t. Starr never achieved it, nor Harrison as far as I can recall.
Once you hear Freddie Mercury, no one else compares.
If you like Freddie power ballads, you must do his duet with Montserrat Caballe called Barcelona. Pure magic!
Imo, you can't do Freddie WITHOUT doing this one ❤
Yes 🤟🌷
Fantastic reaction! If you think Freddie cannot top that check out Barcelona - Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe at La Nit 1988, it was the official song for the 1992 Olympics. Who said Queen wasn't heavy, they have loads of metal songs as well. Also from the Highlander check out Gimme The Prize, it is a pure metal track. Queen's songs that were not hits are often better then then their hits and sometimes their live performances are better then the studio versions. A list from all of their albums, someone can help fill in if I have missed something, I am leaving out mostly big hits.

Awesome...tnxmuch...love Queen always..Freddie Mercury superb legend...beautiful soul...
@@barrysiewert7386 Thanks!
There are 6 songs written for the Highlander movie.
Freddie wrote Princes of the Universe
Roger was inspired by one line and wrote A Kind of Magic, sung beautifully 1986 at Wembley for their tour of the same name,
John wrote a beautiful love song: One Year of Love,
and Brian wrote a piece for the villan of the movie called Gimme the Prize which Freddie said was very difficult for him to sing in this dark heavy register. Roger finished it up with Don't Lose Your Head referring to the immortals who battle each other as there can be only one, and the only way to destroy an immortal is by decapitation. A rather brutal film and a tv series followed, but the music is excellent and so are the videos that accompany each song
Shout out to the rockier, original version of "A Kind Of Magic" you can really only find during the end credits of Highlander (it's also on the Live at Wembley DVD).
Highlander is one of my Favourite Movies. The scene where this song plays is heartbreaking.
As goofy as the film can be, at a young age, it gave me an understanding of how much of a curse immortality would actually be. Which has stuck with me my whole life.
Even the line "It's a kind of magic" is used in the movie
The funny part of this album is when I originally got it on cassette, the first side was all the music to the movie "Iron Eagles" and side B was all the music to "Highlander; it was a double win and I had no idea initially.
Now you need to check this song out live at Wembley 1986!
"The Show Must Go On" is my favorite for many reasons.
You MUST see him live in Budapest...FIRE
A part of our generation died the day he passed, there will never be another Freddy.
This always hits me hard too especially as we now know that Freddie was to be taken way too early. Singing about immortality when he would only have another 5 years on this earth
White Queen live at the Odeon. For fun: "the making of One Vision" It's not long and cool to see the band interact with each other. And then the studio version of One Vision.
The live version is always better not with all bands but Queen is not every band. Thankyou for your reaction, it’s amazing when Freddie hits all those notes live, wemberly is a great version thanks 🙏🏾
I had to laugh when you said later in life they shouldn’t be that good and it was their 12th album. Wait until you hear their 14th album Innuendo. It was the last album they did with Freddie while he was alive. Freddie’s vocals were absolutely amazing. The title track Innuendo is amazing and the last song on the album is The Show Must Go On which has amazing vocals and guitar. Both are studio versions because Freddie was too ill to do live anymore.
Also check out the live version of Who Wants to live Forever live at Wembley 1986. Queen was doing their Magic Tour, which was the last live tour Freddie did. They sold out Wembley stadium 2 nights in a row and still had people wanting tickets so they put on another concert at Knebworth a month later. It was packed at 150,000 people.
There will never be another!
Imagine being in a choir and singing with Freddy Mercury and Queen. 40 years later I would still be finding reason to drop that into casual conversation. At the butchers, can I have lamb chops please and have I ever told you about the time I sang with FM. People would groan when they saw me coming, here is the batty old woman and her damn Queen story again! Such fun.
Omg that would be me too! I’ve thought about that kid they focus on in the video. I would have that clip cued up on my phone all the time! Or those four kids who did The Miracle video. They were so good!
Every song is the best you've heard, until the next one.
John is playing the double bass, he has the red jacket. Just a fun fact: he learned to play that instrument when Brian told him that he wanted the sound of a double bass in his new song called '39, so John went home with the instrument and he learned to play it in two days, then he came to the studio and showed him his part. Because of that, I recommend that song, '39 from "A Night At The Opera" album by 1975.
Hey guys... so glad to see you appreciating the awesomeness of Queen. For an even better version, try the live in Wembley '86 concert... it has the actual ending to the song {unforgettable).... And just for kicks, another powerful Freddie performance would be Barcelona off the Barcelona album...(or any song off that album). And yes, John Deacon was playing the stand-up bass in the red jacket just to the right of Brian singing. Wouldn't be Queen without them all being there... Yes, Queen's fan-base is world-wide and 50 years + and growing because they weren't just singers in a band, I truly believe Freddie had "the gift of music", he WAS music, and he taught the other members to be the same. That's why their music is so timeless, they invoke every emotion imaginable out of you as you listen and ACTUALLY FEEL the music... priceless!! Very few groups can say that... thanks for a great reaction! And thank you all for keeping the Queen legacy alive... I'm so thankful to have lived and grown up in the age of Queen...
Yes live version from Wembley is amazing 🤩
AND there's LIVE in Budapest - drama!
Yes. The live performance at Wembley will really give you chills!
The ending is also there on the album version, followed by 1 minute of instrumental. And there is also Forever which is the piano instrumental version.
The Ultimate Frontman, and an incredible Vocalist. RIP Freddie!
Guys, John's right there on double bass!
The Masterpiece that will fry your minds is "Barcelona" with Montserrat Caballe - one of the greatest Opera Singers of all time. You must watch the video/stage performance they did. She was excited that the Olympics were in her beloved country and when Freddie created the song celebrating her home town - she accepted to sing with him. What many people do not know - is he wrote an entire album for her entitled "Barcelona" and it is magnificent Queen/Opera. Every member of Queen were brilliant in their right (John was on the cello in that video - all collaborated on their work and talking of films John also wrote the music for "Biggles" and the song "One Vision" came from Iron Eagle). Hit after hit - different styles and looks - they never grew old. All could sing (Roger had a great voice!) A plea from the UK - please react to Barcelona - I want to see your reactions - you will be truly amazed : )
Queen to do list:
Bohemian rhapsody Official- headphones required
Stone cold crazy -live at the rainbow
You Take My Breath away live Hyde Park 1976
White Queen Live Hammersmith
Killer Queen official video
Don't Stop me now official video
Somebody to love - Live Montreal
Fat bottom Girls official video
I want to break free official video
Live Aid!!
do Wembley live .. and your mind will blown
All four of them composed hits. And all four sang, although John could be a bit reluctant. Four geniuses in one band. Hard to go wrong.
They didn’t just all write songs but they all wrote number 1’s hits.
'Liar' live at the Rainbow in 1974 for some early Queen x
Nice reaction. John is there in the red jacket.
If you want to hear something different from Freddie alone, listen to Exercises in Free love. His range is phenomenal. It's tones only and no words, but you don't need words if you listen to this! You really won't be dissapointed!
No song will ever be able to capture the emotions or feelings of a fictional character from a film that breaks our emotions to tears like Queen did, PURE MASTERS, RIP Freddie.
This song was released in 1986, Freddie was diagnosed with AIDS/HIV in 1987 but had been having symptoms since 1982. It's believed he knew he had it at the time of this song, which just makes it all the more poignant.
1-Underpressure live Wembley
2-Love of my Life-Live Wembley
3-Innuendo
4-We Will Rock You
5- Another one bites the dust
Imo one of the greatest songs ever recorded. ❤
He always tops himself!!! It’s an enigma … GOAT ♥️
Princes of the universe by queen. You’ll like it
Queen wrote the whole soundtrack for Highlander. Try Princess of the universe from the same album. Please react to their early stuff too, eg: The fairy fellers master stroke, In the lap of the gods/ in the lap of the gods revisited, stone cold crazy... to name a few.
Princes of the Universe , but yeah, definitely. 'Title' theme from the film, pretty much. And nothing short of epic, particularly following in from Sean Connery's spoken intro..
Great reaction guys. Watch this song live at Wembley , Saturday night 12.07.86.
Check out Freddie's solo Barcelona and Exercises in free love. His voice...mind blowing...
1. Fat bottomed girls live at Bowl 82
2. White queen live at the Odeon 75
3. Keep yourself alive Montreal 81
4. Breakthru official video
BTW John Deacon was in this video
Yes!!!!
Greatest singer of all time. And I will stand by that till I die
Its unbelievable that this man passed away 31 years ago, but yet his music stand the test of time....
yes, they wrote this for the movie Highlander. They did the whole soundtrack for the movie. Watch it some time. The lyrics will make even more sense to you. Completely epic movie!
All 4 of them wrote songs, all 4 of them wrote no.1. hits. The huge Queen cataloge is about 200 songs and there are 2 more solo albums of Freddie plus every live concert was different. Pls, check out the other compositions written to the Higlander movie, they are amazing.
Only one example of why he is a legend.
No one could captivate an audience like Freddie. Hell, that power he has even comes through in video.
Other suggestions Now im Here Wembley 86, Save Me, Play the Game Live at Milton Keynes, studio versions - The Show Must go on, March of the Black Queen, Its Late, Dont Try so Hard, Death on Two legs. Some earlier stuff Liar live at the Rainbow 86, You take my breath away at Hyde Park
“It is better to burn out than fade away” 🔥🔥 Kurgan character from the movie HIGHLANDER …. Definitely worth a watch!! All members of Queen wrote songs for the movie soundtrack - GIMME THE PRIZE (Brian), PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE (Freddie), A KIND OF MAGIC & DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD (Roger) & ONE YEAR OF LOVE (John).
Highlander trailer - ua-cam.com/video/omOZyLmNMJs/v-deo.html
A great concert '81 in Montreal, good place to catch them in their prime.
Album by album is best tho.
Pretty much everything Queen did was fire🔥
Freddie IS immortal! Keep his (their) music alive and Freddie WILL live forever!
This cuts off before the end. The lyrics are "Who wants to live forever anyway?"
Queens early stuff is amazing..consider listening to them all..itll be an eye opening experience..great reaction :)
I know and love this song since I was a teenager, but when my father, mother, older brother, sister and friends passed away one by one in the past few years, this song really touches my emotions.
I have about 50 Queen songs in my Top 10, but this song is always in my Top 3. Usually the other two are Love of My Life and the live version of White Queen at Hammersmith. You could have fun with Fat Bottomed Girls, or Don’t Stop Me Now. Or go through the super hits, like We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, Under Pressure, Another One Bites the Dust, or a MUST DO is the full Live Aid 20 minute set that is widely regarded as the best live rock performance in history. Welcome to the best rabbit hole on the planet!
I think watching the official videos are great and I enjoy them but watching them live takes it to a completely different level. I've been listening to Queen since 1974 and you know what? Their music still gives me the chills, how fortunate I am to live in Freddie's lifetime. John Deacon was in this video he played the upright bass.
Totally agree, I too have loved Freddie and Queen for that long and saw them live in concert in 1975 and 1977. Unforgettable.
❤️Freddie❤️
@@chrissielord434 I was never lucky enough to see Freddie in person and honestly it's one of my biggest regrets. I finally did get to see Queen with Adam Lambert for my granddaughters birthday a few years ago and his performance would have made Freddie proud.
@@Melissa02891 I’m sorry you didn’t get to see the magnificence of Freddie’s performance, thank goodness we have videos 😊.
Hmmm, I‘m afraid I am not a fan of Adam Lambert. He is over the top and he sounds quite unnatural, no depth. I’m glad he is enjoying himself but he’s not for me. I think people enjoy hearing the songs not necessarily AL’s voice 🤔
❤️Freddie❤️
Liar from Rainbow 74, Love Of My Life, Now I ´m Here, One Vision, Kind Of Magic, Medley from Wembley 86, Innuendo …Love Queen, thank you💕
There's another little number from this same film that adds another dimension to Freddie's powerhouse repertoire...and not unnoticed it is penned by John (and he does nearly all the instruments): ONE YEAR OF LOVE. There IS no live version, so just the Queen Lyric video...but OH, cuts through your heartstrings. A hidden gem but not after you hear it.
It made cry. This song just kills me. I think he died shortly after this album came out. I often wonder how long he knew before he died. Did any of the songs have something in there about the knowledge of impending death? God the 80’s were so hard, so many beautiful, amazing talents, minds, and voices lost. Maybe more could have been saved if the country and even world hadn’t been dead set on mistreating anyone who was not boring and unbearably uptight. The rest of humanity didn’t deserve Freddie’s awesomeness. We were all lucky to get to hear him and experience his light.
I guess you already know THE Queen track, the G.O.A.T. that is "Bohemian Rhapsody ". If not then that is the must watch, studio release video, track.
It's super powerful in the movie. Once you know the premise of the Highlander movies and TV show, it's doubly impactful when they play it.
For sheer power and emotion please react to The live Wembley 86 version...Freddie's voice.. wow, gives me chills
Queen did the entire soundtrack to Highlander. If you want to see this song live, the Budapest concert was amazing. Please do White Queen live at the Odeon Hammersmith 1975 and Now I’m Here live at Wembley. You’ll get requests for live versions because a lot of times they were better live, in no small part due to Freddie’s charisma and the rapport he had with his audience. I love your Queen reactions, please keep them coming
There are no filler songs on any albums with Queen. Every song is put together as perfectly as it could be. For variety try 'Who Need You' or My Melancholy Blues'. Queen IS variety.
i agree 100%. I can listen to all Queen albums top to bottom. Sometimes i just listen to the "non-hits", love them all
I can't stop watching this video. Nick's reaction just kills me. He is so adorable! He is clearly touched by the music and the performance. He shows a real appreciation for everything that's happening from Freddie.... to the organ that hits him "straight in the soul". When he shakes his head and says "Get out of here", it makes me laugh everytime and yet he expresses what we are all feeling. The Queen video is overwhelmingly beautiful, but Nick's reaction is priceless. Well done!
After you have reacted to more queen songs (hopefully), listen to "Only the Good Die Young" with Brian May and Roger Taylor taking turns singing lead as a tribute to Freddie after he was gone. Also you will need to listen to Freddie and Montserrat Caballe sing Barcelona, Golden Boy and several other songs from their album together.
I had them play this song as they put me under anastestia. I had lung cancer and they took the lung. Weird part? I had them play this song in the operating room so the nurses and doctors would know.....
I would be okay whatever the outcome.
Yes Queen has the most eclectic catalog from any mainstream act.
I have about 50 songs in my top 10. Possibly more. Miss you Freddie and Queen. Xx
Freddie at his best is unbelievable, this song always brings tears to my eyes!
John Deacon was on the big bass in a reddish tux jacket. Watch again and you’ll see him.
Be Good to see a reaction to Queens song "Princes of the Universe" from the Kind of Magic album
I've been a huge fan of Queen from the seventies and I still get goosebumps hearing their music, such a unique band. Long live Queen.
Wembley 86' please guys you will love every second. Greetings from England.
As a longtime fan, I had the pleasure of seeing Queen live in 82. Brilliant. As for songs for reaction?
- Innuendo
- The Prophet's Song(studio)
- Freddie Mercury solo "Time Waits for Nobody"
- Staying Power
- White Man
- Freddie Mercury with Montserrat Caballet "How Can I Go On?"
That should be enough jamming, shivers, and tears for now...
i would recommend some queen-songs for every genre they‘ve covered: hardrock: „it‘s late“, „white man“, „gimme the prize“, „tear it up“ „fight from the inside“ where the drummer sings or „was it all worth it“; pre-metal: „stone cold crazy“, „ogre battle“; progressive rock: „the prophet‘s song“, „brighton rock“, „the march of the black queen“; classic rock: „the show must go on“; pop-rock: „the invisible man“, „the miracle“, „radio gaga“; latin american bossa nova: „who needs you“; blues: „see what a fool i‘ve been“, „sleeping on the sidewalk“; folk: „´39“; funk, disco: „under pressure“, „another one bites the dust“, „back chat“, „cool cat“, „dancer“; rock ´nˋ roll: „crazy little thing called love“; gospel: „somebody to love“, „all god’s people“, „let me live“; vaudeville: „killer queen“, „bring back that leroy brown“, „lazing on a sunday afternoon“, „seaside rendezvous“; flamenco: partly in „innuendo“; waltz: „millionaire waltz“; ambient: „track 13“; arabic influenced rock: „mustapha“; some japanese: „teo toriatte“; and the list would go on and on and i don‘t know where to stop😅. there‘s some other greats as well like the song which deals with the dead pet-cat of brian may‘s childhood „all dead, all dead“ which is also cheering or one quite fine rhytm with the queen-song „more of that jazz“ or „dead on time“ or the song where they‘ve sort of bullied their former manager who betrayed them „death on two legs“. sorry, i know i have to stop now before i go on.......infinite i tell you. they‘ve got so many excellent songs which never got really famous like „get down, make love“😜...shhh.....stop it.....
Thank you for bringing Freddie back to me today. Brought tears to my eyes watching Freddie create his magic again😊❤
Absolutely....beautiful song...soo.......emotional....yes...it is to a movie...on 🔥 fire....
Due to the versatile nature of their writing styles , and the unmatched range of , FREDDIE MERCURY'S voice , YES : QUEEN Is the GREATEST music of all time ❤
If you want to get into Queen I would just start with the first album titled Queen and work your way though. Liar is my favorite song from the first album and hearing it at the Rainbow in 1974 cant be beat. But the official video with the studio version is pretty good too. Keep Yourself Alive is the first single they ever released in 1973 off that album. The offical video of the studio version is pretty good. Queen II is there second album. Which really needs to be heard from start to finish because it kinda like a concept album and a lot of the songs flow together. Then Sheer Heart Attack is there third album and every song on that album is different. I could keep going but im tired
Three of their four greatest albums ever, then ADATR, ANATO, NOTW and Jazz.
Now watch the Live Version at Wembley. As always, Queen modified this song when it is performed live. Brian doesn't sing, there's no orchestra nor is there a choir but it still has the emotional affect.
The only thing I don’t like about this video is it’s lacking that last line of the song, the final punch. I always have to sing it or it doesn’t seem complete!
Check out the Live in Budapest version for the best vocals on this song.
This is by far the best reaction on youtube on this song! And this song happens to be my favorite song ever.
The live version of this is also epic!
You might as well just listen to the live version from Budapest it's even more amazing
I LOVED watching your faces react to Freddie. His abundance was unending. The beauty of this band’s fount is astounding, isn’t it?!!!
Wow,so we'll said Susanne!yes!! 👍👍
They were the rarest talent out there. Their talent went from one spectrum to the other without any voice cheating. Everything was Queen back in the 70s till now! Freddie is the man!👍How about "Queen Live Aid", the greatest concerts ever!
Loved your reaction! White Queen - A night at the Odeon (Hammersmith) is hauntingly beautiful, one of my best Queen performances! I would also recommend Innuendo, The show must go on, Killer Queen and of course their full Live Aid performance ☺️
Genius cannot be explained, it is inexplicable and it is wonderful.
They did sing that song for the first time in 1986 wembley concert.... Freddie talk about somethings any other bands told about Queen and then he said: This is a new song, who wants to live forever".
Guys, I'm loving your reactions. 'Who Wants To Live Forever' is a wonderful track for obvious reasons and a bone-fide Queen classic, but if you want to get an idea of the power Freddie had over his live audiences, PLEASE react to 'Under Pressure' from Queens live gig at Wembley in 1986 (the famous 'yellow jacket' gig). I can't get my head around the fact it's now 30 years since we lost the great man and we'll never see his like again. Thanks guys!!
Wow 🥰 loved your reaction liked subscribed 😁❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️ queen reactions please 😍
