Freddie Mercury (born September 5, 1946, Stone Town, Zanzibar [now in Tanzania]-died November 24, 1991, Kensington, London, England) was a British rock singer and songwriter whose flamboyant showmanship and powerfully agile vocals, most famously for the band Queen, made him one of rock’s most dynamic front men.
Influenced by the hard-edged blues-based style of rock acts such as Cream and Jimi Hendrix, Bulsara began singing with bands in London. He also became friends with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor of the band Smile, and in 1970, when Smile’s lead singer quit, Bulsara replaced him. He soon changed the group’s name to Queen and his own to Freddie Mercury. Bassist John Deacon joined the following year. Incorporating elements of both heavy metal and glam rock, the band debuted on record with Queen (1973), which was followed by Queen II (1974).
Despite an impressive blend of majestic vocal harmonies and layered virtuosic guitar work, Queen initially failed to attract much notice beyond the United Kingdom. The album Sheer Heart Attack (1974), however, shot up the international charts, and A Night at the Opera (1975) sold even better. The band’s ambitious approach to both songwriting and studio production was epitomized by the latter album’s mock-operatic single “Bohemian Rhapsody,” one of a number of Queen compositions written principally by Mercury. The song spent nine weeks atop the British singles chart, and its accompanying promotional film helped the music industry recognize its future in video. Spectacular success followed in 1977 with “We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You”-which became ubiquitous anthems at sporting events in Britain and the United States.
By the early 1980s Queen had become an international phenomenon, drawing particular attention for its elaborately staged performances in enormous venues. Strutting the stage in outrageous costumes, Mercury effortlessly commanded audiences in the tens of thousands. Although Queen’s commercial fortunes had begun to wane by mid-decade, the band arguably reached its apotheosis as a live act with a stellar performance at the charity concert Live Aid in 1985. That same year Mercury released the solo record Mr. Bad Guy, which took musical inspiration from disco. Mercury later appeared on the sound track of Dave Clark’s science-fiction musical Time (1986) and teamed with Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé for the semi-operatic album Barcelona (1988).
In 1991 Mercury announced that he had been diagnosed with AIDS. He died a day later from complications related to the disease. Until shortly before his death, Mercury had continued to record with Queen, and he was posthumously featured on the band’s final album, Made in Heaven (1995). His time with Queen was dramatized in the blockbuster film Bohemian Rhapsody (2018). Although Rami Malek won an Academy Award for his performance as Mercury in the movie, Bohemian Rhapsody was criticized for its sanitized presentation of Mercury’s complicated life, particularly his sexual fluidity. - Розваги
You are a sock star! 🤘🏼
He sure is
I thought the socks you were talking about was the one Freddie supposedly wore not on his feet. I have watched the whole video yet. But, my guess is those long calve sock with the color bands I guess you call it? My question is how in the blue blazes did you Scott aquire those? Love the video. #ScottonTapeFanforlife
Ah fuck it we'll do it live! R.O.F.L.M.A.O
Sock n Roll
@@DavidHunt-vv9wr 🤣🤣🤣love when he does that🤣🤣
Pete seems like the nicest guy andsome as well! He sure knows his history with all the collectables! NOW SCOTT...your feet are HUGE!
Lucky man. Freddie Mercury is truly my favorite human. Thanks for posting.
My heart is racing I am even a 62 yr old very very huge fan of Freddie's I am beging could I just touch one finger on his socks
That's soo cool, Scott and Pete. RIP Freddie Mercury.
I have a Freddie portrait (black and white tattoo) on my leg. A big one. Along with other music influences tattooed (I am a rock singer in a local band). I collect rare music memorabilia too. My favorite Queen item I have is a red sash that you see the audience hold up during the Freddie tribute in '92. I was 14 when Freddie died and heard it on the radio when it was announced. My Dad had heard it too and ran to my room, knowing I would have heard, and I cried myself to sleep on his lap at 14 when we lost Freddie. In my opinion, Queen was our generations Beatles. Thanks and praise from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️
That's pretty cool to be able to wear Freddie Mercury's socks.
Hi Scott, I love that 80’s themed room, absolutely awesome, love the 80,s films and music. I’m a big Guns n roses fan. Freddie Mercury was amazing right until the end of his life. He had such a brilliant voice. It was a sad day in music history when Freddie died. But I’m so glad that your wearing Freddie’s too sox. They look great on you. Scott you are such a cool dude with a funny personality, I love your videos, say thanks to your mate. Thank you ✌️🤟🏼⭐️👍🥰😎🫠
Getting to try on Freddy Mercury’s socks 🧦. That’s something that not everyone can claim they’ve done .
Hi Scott and Pete! Im so jealous of this collection 😁💜 You guys are so fun! Freddie was freaking amazing 🤘🎶 80's are my heart 💞 Lovin the socks 🧦
My favorite Queen song is "These are the days of our lives". Reminds me of my best friend growing up in the 80's but he passed away in 2009. Dig the o×rn music for the sock thing though lol Great video, it was fun. Thank you and stay safe! ❤
I love that song❤❤❤
Wow what a fab video Scott
Freddie Mercury was amazing
Freddy was the GREATEST Frontman in any area or genre. He is and was a bad azz....
i was just on Montreaux Switzerland and saw the Freddie Mercury museum
I would love to go there one day myself ❤❤❤
Every single 80s child, had that bed set. Today most 80s children still have that set or a piece of it at least. It's crazy.
love freddie........thank you scott!.....
The greatest frontman that ever lived. Lover of Life, Singer of Songs, The IRREPLACEABLE LEGEND that IS Freddie Mercury. I can't believe most of his stuff has been sold and now I hear Mary has his house up for sale too 😒 OMG who wouldn't love to stay in Garden Lodge?
its such an honor to watch scott. He has been helping me heal everyday since my mom died and the best i ever found on youtube thing is did something with instagram and feel bad that i don't know how use it. im disabled sometimes its hard for me to learn things but still love scott and friends. from Vickie🥰

This was so epic! Much love, scott, from the sunshine state !
Freddie Mercury Continue to RIP🙏 🌹
He was the best ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I absolutely loved Freddie Mercury, and I remember watching a music show here in Australia called Countdown, and one night Queen were on and Freddie was being interviewed, and my wonderful mum said, “Freddie is such a gay young man” and she didn’t know anything about his sexuality at the time ❤❤❤❤
Freddie Mercury is probably one of the best entertainers and stage performers of all time! I love the music of Queen since 1986 when I was 7 and have collected a lot of Queen stuff😊. I once sat on one of Freddie's Japanese chairs at Hard Rock Café in London (the chairs were stored there next to, I believe, the couch of Jimi Hendrix). I own one original award that was given to Freddie as well😉. This video is a flashback to the good old times. Thank you so much, Scott! I like your videos a lot and this one was funny😅! Kind regards, Nadine from Germany
You gonna put em on your feet? Haha i instantly had an image of the chili peppers playing in their socks 😅
Those Socks Are Epic 💪
As always another amazing video❤ I absolutely love freddie ❤️ such a huge fan! Love your videos scott 😊
That room is so cool❤ I love it. You two are always so cool & just hysterical. Thank you for showing us all that neat stuff & you wearing the Freddy Mercury Sox Scott that def topped it all, and when you Scott said, "We'll do it live."😊 BTW, I don't like feet either (well, mine, lol). Nice choice in music for the Sox that was classic, Pete, lol😂
You two are hilarious, love your videos Scott. 😂😂❤🩷💞
This is awesome!! Great videos 🔥🔥🔥
Another excellent video Scott. You and Pete are hilarious. There will never be another Freddie Mercury. Thank you Scott and Pete❤
There are days i don't think im strong enough to get through a bad day and then i watch scott and he sets the best example of a strong person. from Vickie🥰
You're high as balls.😊😅 Me too. Love Freddie ❤️
After a rough patch I needed the laughs .. you guys are the best and the 80s were the BEST .. great job guys 😊
Put them on, and I want you to sing like him LOL!😂
I'm a huge Freddie Mercury fan in September of last year. His ex-girlfriend and long-time friend Mary Austin. Who he left his home and all the contents inside to. Put all the contents up for action. Stage clothes, art the piano in his home he used to write Bohemian Rhapsody. All the stuff fetched 50 million. And now the home, he passed away in, is for sale.
What a fun video! I wish he did UA-cam, I dont do any other media. Awesome bedroom!
Thanks for the fun video, Scott!!!
👍👍
Fun fact, the makeup artist that created Freddy Kruger came up with his face while eating cheese pizza
That's so cool!!! Freddie forever❤❤
Freddie Mercury was and still is the best front singer, he's voice was brilliant ❤
I'm a huge fan.
Rest in peace Freddie Mercury 🙏🕊️❤️🎤
Thanks Scott for your video, and you look nice with Freddie's socks 😅😁👌❤️
This actually made my day! Needed something funny & fun!(would be my mamas 75th bday😢) this gave me a good laugh! Where have those sock been! If they could talk😂my fav Queen song- Hammer ToFall. Mom was also a big Queen/ Freddie fan! 😎

So many awesome things in that room! Did he mention how long he’s been collecting? Thanks for sharing, Scott!

I was recently in London Scott and visited Freddy’s garden lodge in Kensington and man was it so cool! Thanks for posting stay safe brother !
Freddie was one of the greats & so are his socks. Feet gross me out, but thanks for the music along with the free “OF” sock content.
O.M.G you guys have won my undying jealousy!!!!! Freddie was/is the BESSST vocalist and performer of all time!!!! AND you wore his socks!!! I am a HUGE Freddie Mercury fan, may God rest his soul 🙏 😇 My favorite Queen songs are "Show Must Go on," "Who wants to Live Forever," "Its a Kind of Magic" "Its a Miracle" etc.
The cat fights between Crystal and Alexis on Dynasty were awesome ❤
This was such an amazing treat. You're not the only one that is in shock right now.
I love "The Miracle", and also "Princes of The Universe" ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Pete: I don't think you should have let Scott wear Freddie's sock (s) given that Scott is the king of clap! 😉😁😎 Great video guys.
How cool Scott!!!! Woot woot!!❤
Having Freddie's microphone would be an awesome addition😊
😂 Thanks for the laughs! I do follow Pete on Instagram, love all of this! Thanks Scott!😂

Ahh, Freddie my African brother! What a great talent, I didn't know he passed so young until I googled it 🕊💫 Scott, I was expecting some bare feet, a few toe wiggles and then put the socks on 😂😂

@@SCOTTONTAPE Thank you very Scott if you ever come to Northeast Oklahoma let me know. I'm right on the Oklahoma Kansas border. The town where I live we have the Tom Mix Museum the first jail cell and the Dewey Hotel. A famous person buried in the Dewey Cemetery Bartlesville Ok has alot also. If you ever decide to come this way let me know
Hey Bella I Love All of my children but kid's don't always succeed and it is Heartbreaking to see them chose to live on the streets, go thrive divorces, whatever happens it is not always good, fun or rewarding to have children. Please Never feel like you missed out on anything by not being a parent. Life doesn't always work out ok You just learn to give it to God and PRAY ! I am Sorry for your Loss. It is Hard. Volunteer ! Somebody somewhere NEEDS YOU !! A daycare, read to children at your local library. Volunteer at an adult daycare for senior's. There is Still lots of Life to Live and people who Need Love, HUGS and Attention INCLUDING YOURSELF ! My Sincere Condolences and God Bless You. Scott's Great ! You Take Care Sister !
@@CATNAPREAL1188 thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. There's a reason why I wasn't able to have children and God knows that reason and I'm okay with that now. I don't know if you've ever had to deal with the VA that's a nightmare from Hell....lol once I get things situated I will probably go back to work and I will probably volunteer sometime somewhere. I just I've never felt so alone and confused I'm lost but I'll make it. Again thank you
I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏🙏

scott im sorry for the instagram mistake im still feeling bad about it and since my mom died i have'nt been thinking right. but i guess everyone is human. i miss her so much. Vickie💞
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST 😅
Queen innuendo 🎶🎶🎶great song
Hard to believe you chose Dynasty over hocky. I think your making up for it now though 😅 I absolutely love the Totally 80's room. All that stuff is so cool. I love Casey Kasem and never missed his weekly top 40 countdown on the radio. I was so sad when he died. The things Pete has are incredible! It's like a museum of the stars in those rooms. The socks look great on you, now try on some of the clothes. I want to see that! There's enough in there to do a whole other video 😂 .... I'll wait 😂😂
You skipped hockey for Dynasty?!? I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed maple syrup and moose along with your Canadian citizenship for such a thing!
Freddie Mercury's size
was 8 US (7.5 UK, 41 EU). He had relatively small feet for his height
"Sock wearin' You Tubers you make the rockin' world go round.......Slip on your Vans and walk!"
I watched Dynasty to and I love Freddy Mercury he is irreplaceable very sad Queen the whole band was amazing listened to all the time growing up amazing video there is a lot of memories in that room I grew up with be safe guys much love always ❤❤
Lol!! So cool!
“Ah f it, we’ll do it live!” 😂
That is socking brilliant 👍🏻💯
I cant stop laughing when you were trying to do your intro and you were suddenly interrupted
By the way according to Google Heather Locklear is 5"5
Rest in peace Freddie Mercury Hi Scott greetings to you
