One amazing fact about Freddie is that he was once asked about his favourite instruments and he said his audience.
That’s awesome!
@@dadwhatsfordinner The guitarist in question is Dr Brian May - Now Sir Brian May - guitarist extraordinaire and astrophysicist. Who said scientists aren't cool?!
@@dadwhatsfordinner I sincerely doubt that Freddie would bust up a guitar like that. That's not only disrespect to the instrument, but also disrespect to the audience. i believe he'd leave that sort of behaviour to hooligans.
This curtailed version of the 'whole' concert has turned up recently and, yes, it's annoying!
Joseph Schlitz, I read somewhere that that guitar was later stolen. I wonder where it is now.
@@michellehayes5133 if ur talking about the red special brian mays guitar it wasnt stolen he has it and uses it in shows still to this day
Correction, The band is a legend.
Yes. Absolutely!
for 20 minutes the world got ruled by 4 icons 1.6 billion ppl watching these legends all over the world
queen forever n ever
It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star.
“Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, because they could connect with an audience.”
And David Bowie had to take the stage next after Queen, said How am I suppose to follow that?!?
You picked the wrong video. But the above comments made this performance the best of all times. “How can we follow this?” ❤
We will rock you written by guitarist Brian May and We are the champions written by Freddie
The four of them are not only great musicians but very well educated. The all four have college degrees. The guy on the guitar is Sir Dr Brian May. He has a P H D in astrophysics and has worked with Nasa in the past. Brian was recently Knighted. Also he and his Dad built his guitar from stratch from parts around his house when he was a teenager. He calls it The Red Special and still uses to this day. Freddie had a degree in graphic arts and he designed the Queen Logo. John Deacon the bass player had and electrical engineering degree and Built an Amp called the Deaky Amp which Brian used. .. Roger had biology degree but decided he wanted to stay with music. QUEEN is only band that all four members each had number hit.
I didn't know all of this, how cool! Thank you for sharing.
How did I not know this? Wow. We need a documentary. Incredible. It reminds me of the words of Mae Jemison's mother. When she was trying to determine whether to pursue medicine or dancing her mother told her, "You can be a doctor who dances but you can't be a dancer who doctors." So she heeded her and became the first black woman in space among other achievements.
Brian May, the guitarist, plays 3 different guitars during crazy little thing called love. It’s only when Freddie says “take it Brian” does he bring in the Red Special .
Freddie & Brian come out for an encore, is this the world we created. Must see.
and anyone that doesn't know about his Red Special, He couldn't afford a guitar when he was young so Brian and his dad, when Brian was 17, took an old wooden table and the wood mantel from a fireplace and made that guitar that he still plays today.
Was there!!!!!!!! Freddie totally smashed it..
You’re lucky. That seemed like an epic concert
I am SO jealous! Been my favorite band for 47 years, and I haven't been able to ever see them. They are always too far from me when they hit the US. I think they got one more US tour in them, according to Brian, & I don't intend to miss it, this time! I'm buying plane tickets, too!
So lucky and I'm so jealous
@@angelabarnes7588 US, UK, Europe, Asia, Brazil, or wherever... if Queen tours in 2023, I WILL be there! Not going to miss the last chance to see Brian May and Roger Taylor live!
@@bandmom3505 Hell YEAH! My last chance to drool over Roger & be mesmerized by The Red Special in the hands of the Maestro!
Yes you got a show. No autotune. It’s pure talent. And all had college degrees.
Believe it or not he went against dr orders to play at ride aid cause he had abad throat infection he said his throat felt like he was gargling with broken glass and he still crushed it. Brian is the guy on the guitar
Brian May on guitar. Was recently knighted in the UK so Sir Dr Brian May. Doctor because he is also an astrophysicist. Highly talented, educated and an has always been described as a all around kind, nice guy. Still performing in his 70's along with doing his scientific work and animal activism.
Yes. Lady GaGa took her name from Queen. She adored Queen and Freddie. Greatest frontman ever. Legend. RIP. You’ve heard that? That’s Freddie, holding 1.5 billion in palm of his hand!
The most amazing part is this wasn't a "Queen" crowd. There were multiple bands that day including Paul macartney (beatles), David Bowie, George Michael. Elton John, U 2, just to name a few. Queen wasn't on the announced list of artists when tickets were sold! And the reaction from the crowd was epic, as if it had been there just to see Queen! Amazing!
The crowd control that queen had was amazing
They wrote songs especially to get the crowd to participate. They loved making the crowd feel like they were part of the band which of course made the fans love them even more. Brilliant on the bands part for doing that.
Thanks for your reaction! And, yes, Lady Gaga inspired in this song for his name, she was a huge Queen fan. Crazy little thing called love was an homage to Elvis, Freddie wrote this song in 10 minutes while take a bath.... Hugs dear! The magnificent guitar player is Sir Dr Brian May
The song you asked about is Radio Gaga. Lady Gaga took her name from this song, she was a huge Queen fan before she actually became "Lady Gaga". I think you might really enjoy another UA-cam video called "The Story of Queen at Live Aid". And one last fun fact, Freddie put on this fabulous performance after having laryngitis the week before. His doctor recommended that he cancel and rest his voice, but he ignored the advice and went on to make rock history.
Oh was it laryngitis, I thought it's was tonsillitis, well you learn something new everyday, thanks.
No auto tune just pure talent
The people complaining about too much talking need to go watch the original video on their own. You're a reaction channel. Your part is to comment on your thoughts and feelings on what you're reacting to. Ignore those people. I enjoy your content.
Amen
I agree completely......his channel, his thing !!.....LOL
I wouldn't watch it if I was looking for silence. I love his reaction to the songs!
Absolutely, that's why we watch reaction video's!
Whole point of a reaction video is reacting to the video so yes there’s no problem with him talking or reacting when he wants 👍😂
Look for Is this the world we created which Freddie came back on & sung at the end of live aid!!🇬🇧🌻🇬🇧
He had his favorites. “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” was inspired by Elvis. “Somebody to Love” was inspired by Aretha Franklin ❤️
Interesting fact queen were not on the original lineup when the tickets were sold but a last-minute addition as they were considered a bit old-fashioned by this time.
However, to this day, all people remember about live aide is queen and even the performers said to Freddie when they exited the stage "you bastard you stole the show"
And even with the tragic loss of Freddie, the rest of queen still perform and are well loved.
In recent times, at a green day concert they were playing bohemian raspody before the concert started, and the hole crowd was singing along. They had to delay the start of the concert so they could finish.
That “jam” is my favorite Queen song. It’s Hammer to Fall and was written by the guitarist Brian May. It’s about death and how it comes to all of us whether we’re rich, poor, famous, etc.
Enjoyed your reaction to the band, Queen=GOAT!
Freddie had the audience in the palm of his hand - and they loved it!
He can’t help moving. The music is in his veins and comes out through his whole body.
What I wouldn't give to go back and relive those years. What a great time to be alive! But also fun to watch reactors such as yourself experience those times for the first time. Almost like seeing it again for the first time!
P.S. And during the chorus of Radio Gaga, not only the crowd at Wembley singing along & clapping but a billion people around the world doing the same thing wherever they were watching this! Greatest live rock performance of all time!
Me too! I remember every second of it. Those were the days.
Indeed and I was there that day and Queen just stole the show. The most memorable concert I have been to in my life
I was pregnant and packing a suit case to see my Mom when they hit that stage. Everything stopped til it was over. I've never gotten to see them live, but I WILL see Roger & Brian on the next tour. I didn't find your talking a problem. I love seeing it click in people just how truly great that band is!! I've known it for 47 yrs!! Musical geniuses, all of them!
Bassist John Deacon wrote Another one bites the dust...not done here but check it out
Obviously Freddie was a fantastic lead singer, none the better, but listening to many reactions from various people, you are the only one I've heard to give credit to the band !
They’re an amazing band and need the credit too
@@dadwhatsfordinner Thanks for recognizing all the band members. Wish the people running the cameras at Live Aid would have realized there were three other musicians on that stage! LOL! 😂
Fun fact: all four members of Queen individually wrote hits.
You are right my friend we Baby Boomers are the greatest generation. FREDDIE & QUEEN were at the top of the charts. The Bands whom, all volunteered to do this LIVE AID CONCERT only had 20 minutes each. After QUEEN was done the other Bands said "They've stolen the show" QUEEN's set was over the top. Freddie when not on stage was a very quiet and shy person. Polar opposites! Greatest Rock Band EVER! Brian May aka Sir Dr. Brian May was one hell of a 🎸 guitar player. RIP FREDDIE MERCURY 11/24/1991, only 45y.o. 🎤♥🎤♥🎤♥
Answering your question, the guitarrist is our dear Doctor (and now Sir as well) Brian Harold May, simply Brian May, or just Bri for the friends and fans (you can actually hear Freddie asking him to get the center of the stage during "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", for him to go play with the audience for a little).
He's the main genius behind many of Queen biggest hits, like "We Will Rock You", "Hammer to Fall" (both were on this video), "Keep Yourself Alive", "Who Wnats To Live Forever", "Too Much Love Will Kill You", "The Show Must Go On", "No One But You (Only The Good Die Young)", and many, maaaaaaaaany others. Brian and Freddie used to compete against each other for who would fill more of the album with their own songs. Fun fact about it, Freddie, who (according to himself) always suffered from loss of inspiration, was very proud of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", because it was the first song he could write in the seeingly "effortless" way Brian always did, like, in 20 minutes, on the shower. The fact Brian could create masterpieces just as easilly as breathing was something Freddie, Roger and John sometimes got very frustrated with, so, Freddie was very happy when he created that song in the same way.
And another interesting detail about this song, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", is the fact Brian uses 3 different guitars. He starts with the acoustic, then uses a black fender (mirrowing Freddie's white one), and then, the Red Special, the unique guitar he and his father created when Brian was fourteen years old. That last guitar was the main responsible for most of Queen's unique sound (there is a song Brian emulated an entire orquestra using just the Red Special and different guitar skills. Imagine a guitar mimicking the sound of a cello? Brian did it. Meowing? No problem, Brian did it also. Talking like a human? Yep, he did it too...).
Brian was recently announced as a new knight by the Brittish monarchy, for his services not just in the music field, but for his enviromment work (he's an activist for animal wellfare) and science. Brian has a PhD in astrophysics (he's the author of the manual Nasa uses about the movemment of space dust) and a very respected researcher on that field. He's also an enthusiast of photography and is an enthusiast of the stetoscope, a technology used for 3D image. Recently, people asked him to do an IQ test, and when he did, he scored 180, the same as Einstein. He's a super genius.
Ok crazy Brian fan Brian didn’t invent Stereoscopic photography it was developed in the 1800’s. Give do to all the band, everyone of the wrote number one hit songs. The crazy sound Bri gets is Deacy’s amp he built for Brian. Rogers voice is amazing also and could be the lead in any other band but Queen had Freddie, enough said. John write Another bites the Dust and it was the first number one song in the States. So yes Brian is crazy talented but so are the rest of them. The thing that made Queen special was the way the four of them made magic together.
@@nancyblumberg4612 Thank you for all the informations (including the correction, I'll correct it on the original asap)! I already knew most of them, but I liked the fact you did put these here as well (my comment was already a wall of text, and it was stressing enough to write so much on a mobile that auto-translated everything to my original language at every five words).
But, you see... If you watch the video, you'll see he asked for BRIAN's information. Brian's. So, sorry if it sounded in my comment I didn't value the others, very far from this.
All of them would be able to create huge books with their lifestories and archivemments alone, in music and their respective areas, but I honestly don't think it would be right to put everything including all the extras on a comment, that was already huge, for someone who is just starting. So, sorry if I didn't flaunt all knowledge about the band on a single comment. I decided to put just what he asked. Sorry if the lack of information about all the others didn't please you, and thank you again for completing my comment. And please refrain from calling people crazy, I'm very aware about the "crazy" side of Brian's fans, and by doing that, you look like a moron.
Set List: 1. Bohemian Rhapsody, 2. Radio Ga-Ga, Ay-Oh (call and response), 3. Hammer To Fall, 4. Crazy Little Thing Called Love, 5. We Will Rock You, 6. We Are The Champions. When Lady Gaga was young, she loved the song Radio Ga-Ga and that is indeed where she got her stage name. The guitar player is Brian May, a guitar legend. Crazy Little Thing Called Love was written by Freddie as a tribute to Elvis. Freddie wrote it in 10 minutes or so while in the bath. That cutting off at the end is such a buzz-kill, I don't know what happened to this video, up until a couple of months ago, it didn't do that. If I knew who the original poster of the video was, I would try to contact them and let them know that this copy is corrupted and see if they can correct it. I love this concert and feel like I am there every time I watch it but that glitch at the end really brings me down. Not your fault, it is something with the video. Thank you for your reaction.
The last two songs (We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions) on this version are not from the original Live Aid concert in 85. They're spliced from their 86 concert Live At Wembley. Somebody couldn't find the complete concert so they added in the last 2 from a different concert
@@kelliehatch1712 Not true. There are recordings from the day of Live Aid that have both songs included. For example, here is an audience recording ua-cam.com/video/cZny9j99kdk/v-deo.html
Crazy little thing called love was written by Freddie
Yay Queen. It was great seeing them live. Concert tickets were about $12. Those were the days. Check out Spread your wings, Cool Cat, It’s Late, You take my breath away live1976 HydePark. ❤
thanks for the shoutout to the band. Brian and Roger's solo work is incredible also.
and John is Queen' s secret weapon - has written some of the greatest hits - and some incredible bass riffs - - Under Pressure - - One Vision.
Thanks, Dad! I really appreciate your acknowledgement of the BAND.. they are all incredible, as you noted... I always enjoy your reactions... (P.S. Lady Gaga has openly said that she was inspired to take her name from this song - lol) - P.S. "Hammer to Fall" was the total rocker - Roger Taylor singing high harmony - and Sir Doctor Brian May on guitar.. not to forget John Deacon on bass... this was not one of their "top hits" - but perhaps should have been!
Hey man very nice reaction. That was Radio Ga Ga the second song. And that's why Lady GaGa got her name from. Hammer to fall the third song in the The Works Album. The vocal improvisation is cool. Freddie do that to have everyone participating and pump them up. The forth song was Crazy little thing called love was written by Freddie in the tub for 5mins. And you can feel the Elvis Presley vibe in that song. We will rock you the fifth song you know that one. And the sixth song was We are the champion stadium anthem. Sports song a winners song. COOL AYE. And the encore song was Is this the world we created. There's alot of Queen to react to. They have a lot of hit songs. RIP Freddie 🎤🎤♥️
Your channel bro .. we are her for thoughts and reaction 💯❤️✌🏼🙏.. appreciate you checking out this legendary performance.. the crowd. Control was truly amazing 💯
Freddie wrote Crazy little thing called love in a hour while in the bathtub as a tribute to elvis...more specifically his rockabilly years
The difference between Queen and the other acts at LiveAid was rehearsal. They took it seriously as the audience was theirs. They captured them and they ruled. Queen cemented their legendary status.
Queen one amazing band all four are multi instrumentalists all four wrote number one hits all inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame Freddie Mercury lead singer has a diploma in Graphic Arts and Design Sir Dr Brian May lead guitarist has a PHD in Astrophysics Roger Taylor drummer has a degree in Biology after changing from Dentistry John Deacon has a First Class Honours degree in Electronics love Queen ❤❤
I love your reaction so don't let anyone say you talk to much. That's what a reaction video is for, to get your reaction.
Yes Elvis sang Crazy little thing called Love. Freddy Mercury wrote it for Elvis.
Freddie wrote Crazy Little Thing Called Love as a tribute to Elvis in 1979. Elvis passed away in 1977.
@@AliT0555 Well dang. I could have sworn I heard Elvis sing it. That's weird but I see I am wrong. Thanks
Fun fact: Brian May, the lead guitarist, is also an astrophysicist who has worked with NASA. ;)
Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio GAga, Freddie's exchange with the audience: Ay-Oh, Hammer to Fall, Crazy little thing called Love (tribute to Elvis. It was a huge hit in the US); We Will Rock You, and We are the Champions
Dr Sir Brian May, with the guitar he made with his father when he was a teenager, known as The Red Special.
Yes, Lady Gaga took her name from Queen's song. ❤
There were a lot of great performers in that era, but Freddie was without doubt the best frontman in rock history.
The guitar player is Brian May and he was just knighted by King Charles so now he is Sir Dr. Brian May Astrophysicist.
I've been there since the beginning, 1973! At the beginning of your video, you said Freddie is good but so are all the other guys. Freddie always said he is not queen without the other guys. He is not the lead singer he is a band member and together they make great music. Do yourself a favor and watch Queen sing "somebody to love" live in Montreal in 1981. Freddie always said he sings it differently in person because if it sounds the same as the record, you may as well stay home and listen to it. "Love of my life" live in Japan 1975, they start singing the song and the entire audience started to sing the words in English! You have to see Freddie's reaction. He is overwhelmed and looks out to take it all in. That is another thing about him, he looks out to the audience to get the whole picture and really enjoys it. Also, you said the music is still good and that's what Brian May said, they want your children and grandchildren to enjoy it. Freddie was so afraid to get his teeth fixed for fear it would ruin his voice range. He was a boxer in his teen years I think that may be why he puts those moves in. Do yourself a favor and watch the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie. It is kinda their story all crunched together but as I lived through it and remember, it didn't quite happen that way but it was a movie. I saw them 3 times in Philly and saw Queen and Adam Lambert twice. Adam Lambert is another amazing human. What a voice!!! Thank you for sharing your commentary with us old dusty fans! Tight Hugs!
Me, too. My brother gave me the first LP in 1973 and I fell in love. Never heard anything like them before or since.
@@bayth remember when a new album would come out? I’d lay in the dark with headphones on and listen to it over and over again. Did you join the fan club? I’m such a geek i still have everything they sent me. Isn’t it great to see different clips of them since we were watching same stuff over and over for 40 years!
@@karenbeee4568 Yes, I remember those days. Going out and immediately getting the record when it came out. Listening to it over and over. I still have those original records.
@@bayth me too! I just saw the original album Diamond Dogs by David Bowie is worth a lot of money. They say they stopped producing it because of the front of the cover was inappropriate . Now at days it would be excepted. Remember when Freddie would sing “Death on two legs” and they would bleep out a$$ when he would say it?! Now that’s nothing! Lol
If you put it back a few seconds you will see the end with no cut off. It is weird how some videos cut it and others didn’t. You need to continue on to the encore at the end of the concert and see Is This The world that we live in. Beautiful encore by Brian and Freddie. Freddie had a throat infection and was told not to sing but you know he would never let anyone down and the rest is history.
I like your comments that's why I watch reaction videos ❤️
Yeah that sucks that there's this version where it's cut at the end. I wish that video was tagged - I would guess that happens half the time with people doing reactions to this performance. You don't talk too much. It's hard to remember all the little things that pop into your head during the performance at the end of the video. I was 15 when this concert took place. I was staying at my grandparents farm listening to it on a shitty transistor radio in the middle of a field in upstate NY and the energy was palpable half the world away. Great reaction. On one reaction channel some guy said Freddie can't dance - OMG WHAT??? He's really graceful and has just enough childish energy to make him relatable. It's a nice combination. He's like a kid in his bedroom playing rockstar - except he's a real rockstar.
Dr Brian May , Ph.D! Astrophysicist!
Freddie Mercury on vocals was the GOAT! Beyond THE GOAT!
This was the only time that all of the greatest bands of that era opened for Queen! And they all knew it. Greatest frontman, greatest band of all time IMHO 😁 I enjoy all of your comments, keep it up!👍
Best Performance in history❤ 72,000 in attendance and 1.9 Billion people watching from around the world, which was one forth of the world at that time .
They raised 129 Million for Africa.
Brian May on guitar, singing, organ, John Deacon on Bass, Roger Taylor drums and backup singing and Freddie Mercury lead singer, piano, guitar. The latest version of Live Aid that UA-cam is pushing has been cut off in a couple of places. Look for older versions that show Freddie finishing the song.
Hey Dad!! Love the "blue gill" on the wall in the background, cute!! How many kids do you have??
The guitarist is a GOAT and an Astrophysicist that works with NASA, once you know his name, you never forget! SIR Dr. Brian May is now, as of 2023, he was just knighted by King Charles III for his accomplishments in music and philanthropy for the badgers and other small animals...
Live Aid Concert Queen playlist, heard via simulcast over satellite television and radio stations worldwide to an estimated two billion people
"Bohemian Rhapsody," written by Freddie...
"Radio Gaga," written by Roger Taylor, the drummer... after hearing his comment from his son
"Hammer to Fall," written by Brian May, for the movie "The Highlander" soundtrack
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love," written by Freddie, a tribute to Elvis, written while taking a bath
"We Will Rock You," written by Brian May, for the audience participation, he said the fans are what gives him the energy to continue all night...
"We Are the Champions," written by Freddie, for the audience participation also
There was another encore performance to close the show, a song called "Is This The World We Created?", a song written by Brian and Freddie, as a filler to finish out the album they were working on, not necessarily written for this event, just coincidence...
Thanks SO MUCH for spreading the love that Freddie and Queen have shared with the world via THE QUEEN RABBIT HOLE... I live for the opportunity to see you reactors on UA-cam listen and experience our dear Freddie and Queen for the first time... it makes my day...
The remaining members of Queen still active, Brian May and Roger Taylor, the drummer, both have very successful solo careers in music that you could also check out... such talent the world has never seen before now... truly amazing... they were ALL legends... check them out, guarantee you won't regret it...
Blessings to Dad and family... sharing the love... QUEEN FOREVER.
Great reaction. There are other uploads that have the full ending. Glad you appreciate a band that I grew up loving. 👍🏾😁
In the beginning, you can hear every band member give a sound with their instruments just to check if everything works.
And what follows next is concert history that nobody will ever beat.
Greatest live performance in music history. Freddie was untouchable as a live performer and having the world's best guitarist as backup is just a bonus.
Rock In Peace Freddie ❤️🤘
Just subbed. I love reaction to new Queen fans😂 I was 15 when live aid happened and it was the biggest event in history all the prominent bands played. I was glued to the TV the entire festival. 1.6 billion people watching around the world and two venues completely packed one in the UK and one in the US.Queen was not scheduled to play and when this performance ended Queen brought in more money than all bands combined. I watched with my Dad and I was a huge Queen fan and after the performance so was my Dad. It was an awesome experience and probably then best 20 minutes of music period. IMO❤
Don't forget... This is 'LIVE'... No second takes in a recording studio... Freddy gives his all
In a couple of the later songs in this video, you will hear his voice crack on some of the higher notes... He was advised by the doctor not to sing that night... He went out there anyway
n that first night singing with Queen, he broke the Mic stand... It became a part of his show... his Lucky Charm
Brian May is an absolute legend on the guitar and yes, Lady Gaga is a huge fan of QUEEN and took that as her stage name.
The artists were not paid for this charity concert. Some of the earlier performers dialed it in. Then Queen came on and the millions of donations started pouring in. I do not envy the artists having to follow this. You can see why Britain loved Queen. Many years after Freddies death watch the audience at the GREENDAY Concert at Hyde Park sing Queens BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY in the intermission. Every word.
Maybe others have commented - but I have to say that this is not Freddie Mercury and a band called Queen. They are all Queen - and Freddie is the lead singer - and the performer that draws the attention, the cameras and so on - but they actually all 4 of them are brilliant musicians - all 4 wrote #1 hits and are inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame - as well as the group is inducted in The Rock an Roll Hall of Fame. They have just these days been voted the greatest rock band of all times - and a guitar special's readers have voted Brian May the best guitar player of all times. Perhaps Jeff Becks sudden passing a week ago would have altered that? - and Brian has this New year just been knighted - and is now - formally - Sir Brian Harold May, CBE - That may also influence the readers ? All four of them are multi instrumentalists - during lockdown Roger made an album all on his own - 'Outsider' - . Now you have three of the names - - the last is the bass player, John Deacon - Queen's secret weapon - take a special listen!
Radio gaga written by drummer Roger Taylor and lady gaga got her name from that
I love Queen and Freddie. Many people assume that he was this way in his real, personal life, but this was all stage performance. He was actually very quiet and shy and kind offstage. Yes, he lived the Rock-n-Roll life, but he was really two different people, and most assume he had a big ego, but he was very modest. He knew he had a good voice, that he wanted to use it, and he loved making people happy. Seeing his audience reacting this way usually put tears in his eyes, he loved his fans so much. RIP Freddie. I still love you, too. Thank you for your goodbye video, Freddie…I watch it a lot. Plus, so many more. You achieved what you wanted, and over 30 years later, we still love you. More people are starting to listen to you again, a new generation. What a legend you are. ❤❤❤ Thank you, “Dad”, for reacting to my favorite ever group.
I love to see people's reactions.
Queen was the first band to do music videos , back in 1976
Brian May, one hell of a guitarist, and one of the smartest people on the planet. Freddie was an amazing talent.
So far as I'm concerned you can go ahead and talk all you want, I thank you for it! I can watch the originals on my own, I watch reactions because I enjoy hearing all reactors' thoughts and comments (there's nothing more boring then simply watching no more than a bobbing head).
Fact: Radio Gaga was the inspiration for Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta's stage name of....Lady Gaga
15:33 This names is Vocalist : freddy mercury, Drummer: roger taylor, bass guitarist: Jhon deacon, guitarrist: brian may
Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, Hammer to Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions. This is a all music play by queen .
Yes it is where she got it from she loved queen and Freddie ❤
I always found it amazing that he was suffering from a pretty severe throat infection for this concert. I forget who was set to go on right after Queen (maybe Bowie?) But he said essentially, "How the hell am I supposed to follow that?!" Queen is my all time favorite, and I adore that us younger generations still appreciate his legacy.
Brian May is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. You should check out Brighton Rock. That rockabilly song at 18 minutes in us Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Written by Freddie.
Love your commentary.
I don't know if the more complete version has been taken down (will have to take a look) but several recent reactors have had this version that cuts off the end of We are the Champions. I how the full version is still around somewhere. Also, Brian and Freddie came back on later and played an acoustic version of (IIRC) Is this the World we Created?
Beside being wonderful musicians. Brian May is an astrophysicist , titled dr Brian May with a degree. The drummer Roger Taylor has a degree in biology and some dentistry. John Deacon has a degree in electrical engineering. Freddie had a degree in graphic design. All the band has many talents. Brian has a guitar, the red special And he and his father built his guitar when he was a teen. The made it out of an old mantle and an old tabletop, a bar from an old back pac. The other parts were made from things from his mother’s sewing box. Amazing. This is why it has its special sound
The Greatest front-man ever!
In Freddie's younger years he boxed yeah he was sent to a all boys school ! That's where the Air punches come from lol
We had the best music ever 60s 70s 80s all music today will never match it, we lived every moment.
Dude with the guitar 😋 is Sir Brian May- also Dr. Brian May- Astrophysicist- and still playing and touring
Great content dude, keep talking its a reaction video, you need to react lol..what you must remember that the audience are not full of Queen fans, they were many groups & singers that day but by the end of their 20min performance all the audience were converted Queen fans, Freddie will always be the best singer performer, frontman of all time...Love you Queen Love you Freddie, miss you forever ❤❤❤
Brian and Roger and Freddie all had solo albums.
If you pay attention to the lyrics of their songs, they either deal with love or impending death.
We are the Champions
72,0000 people at Wembley, another 100,000 in Philadelphia, and 1,2 billion watching on TV globally. The Olympics have 3 satellites...Live Aid had 13. I wasn't a Queen fan at all, but after that day..I was lol! The world for Africa!
I remember it was very hot that day in Wembley Stadium July 13th 1985 but it was worth it, best day in my life! 👏👏🇳🇱
Only group where each member has had a top 10 hit
Freddie's call out ay-oh to the audience.....never heard this from anyone else.
Freddie was a very shy man but something else on stage.
Complete crowd control!❤
2nd song: Radio GaGa, ( Lady GaGa got her name from this song) 3rd song: Hammer to Fall, 4th song: Crazy little thing called love 5th and 6th everyone knows :)
He uses audience response in his later calls concerts.
If people have a problem with you cutting in to commit they can find the video & watch it without interruptions. I'm 65 yrs old and I believe I had the best music and bands. The bands didn't have a problem with getting the crowds involved we paid to be entertained & boy were we ever. I love to hear what you feel & think about my generations music. A week before the concert Freddie had laryngitis & was advised to cancel the concert. I'm glad they didn't. The song Crazy thing called love was played in the movie Mars Needs Moms
No-one and I mean no-one could strut like Freddie Mercury.
You haven't heard Freddie do AH OH with the crowd like that before. Not until you watched that Live Aid. The lead guitarist's name is Brian May.
I was there in Wembley. Somewhere in the middle of the field in front of that black tent. Queen destroyed all the other acts that day. I've still got my ticket. Nicely laminated now and locked up in my safe. He had a throat infection that day. The backstage doctors told him not to sing.
Radio Gaa Gaa
Hammer To Fall
Crazy little thing
We will Rock You
We are the Champions
