Rodger Taylor the drummer was responsible for some of the best backup vocals. And the only one you didn't mention John Deacon the bassist actually wrote this song
I can't believe that you didn't even acknowledge John Deacon (the bassist). He created this LEGENDARY riff that is so iconic! He was Queen's "Secret Weapon." 💯
It was a sad day when we lost Freddie Mercury. The man was an unmatched vocal talent and a amazing lyricist. He absolutely had a captivating stage presence. Queen will be talked about 100 years from now. Their music transcends time. 🙌🏼
This song was written by the bass player, John Deacon (Deaky) - it was a No. 1 hit. Everyone of the 4 band members wrote No. 1 hits! And yes, the lead guitarist is (Dr.) Brian May; he’s a PhD in astrophysics! The drummer (and back-up singer) is Roger Taylor - also highly educated. They are an amazing group.. Roger and Brian are still performing/touring (pre-COVID) - with Adam Lambert as lead singer. They are STILL amazing!!
Thanks, Velda - I've been a Queen fan since my teenage years - in the seventies -- when we lost Freddie, I took it hard.. and pretty much did not want to see anything with Adam... but when I finally DID see him, I was charmed and amazed - he is awesome - and his style and talent - I think - would have made Freddie very happy...
If you really want to see Freddy's controlling the crowd you should react to the Live Aid concert it's about 15 minutes long I think but it's shows his Showmanship
That is a great one but yeah, long video (about 20+ minutes actually)... There is a shorter version of Freddie playing his favorite instrument (the audience) about a year after the Live Aid concert. Check out "Under Pressure" from Queen -Live at Wembley 1986. I think it's better performance, as it wasn't censored by the networks which aired Live Aid on regular broadcast TV back in 1985. Plus he's wearing that iconic leather jacket in the 1986 show - LOL!
Brian May is the lead guitarist as well as holding a doctorate in astrophysics, Bassist John Deacon degree in engineering, drummer Roger Taylor, degree in biology and Freddie had a degree in graphic design. He created the bands logo. All 4 band members have at least 2 top ten hits to their credit.
Queen's lead guitarist is Brian May, actually, Dr. Brian May, who has a Ph.D. in Astrophysics (he worked with NASA on the New Horizon Project). Queen's drummer is Roger Taylor who has a voice that Freddie once described as a dog whistle (really high falsetto). Queen's bass guitarist is John Deacon who actually wrote this song (Another One Bites The Dust).
Written by bass player John Deacon, who supplied one of the greatest bass guitar riffs of all time. There were some fans that were mad when this song came out because they thought Queen had sold out to the disco crowd. I personally always thought of it as "funky" Queen instead of "disco" Queen. Drummer is Roger Taylor, who also did a lot of the high vocals on their songs. And yes, guitarist is Brian May. All four members of Queen were also highly educated in professional careers. Freddie was a graphic designer, John is a trained electrical engineer, Brian has a doctorate in astrophysics and Roger has a degree in biology and was attending dental school before joining Queen.
Freddie was one of a kind, Brian May an incredible guitarist & vocalist & Roger Taylor’s ability on drums & his amazing vocals were all the envy of the industry, but did you not hear John Deacon on bass? My goodness, his base line set the whole precedence for this incredible song. Four essential parts of one giant, well tuned machine. Queen forever. 🖤🎶🖤
Dr. Brian May on lead guitar. He has a PhD in Astrophysics- he made ( with his dad) his guitar when he was a teen. Roger Taylor drummer is awesome- listen to him sing and drum to ‘I’m in Love With My Car’!! Yup/ you’ll go through at least 200 songs- I hope you stick with it! Is 1Queen fans will stay with you!
Love, love, LOVE this reaction!! Live Aid is a prime example of Freddie’s ability to control the crowd. As for songs, take your pick, they don’t have one that will disappoint you. Freddie Brian May- guitarist John Deacon-bass guitar Roger Taylor- drums
Brian May was the guitarist and Roger Taylor was the drummer. Queen never put out a bad song that I remember.❤️🤗 You should view the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. It's so good.
Freddie was one of the best vocalist of all time. His idol was Aretha Franklin. I can only imagine the magic those two could’ve done together on a song. #RIP Freddie & Aretha.
One thing about Queen is that all members of the group wrote hits for the group. You notice this song has a great baseline, of course it does. It was written by the bass player John Deacon. Brian & Roger didn’t like it. They thought it was too disco. It turned out to be one of their biggest hits. Another tidbit about this song is that they knew Michael Jackson & when he heard it, he said you have to release that one. It’s a hit. Thanks Michael. You got the guitar player correct. That is Dr Brian May. Yup, he has a PHD in Astrophysics. The drummer is Roger Taylor. He has a great voice & sings background on a lot of songs. When you hear the high notes in the background that’s Roger. If you want to hear & see amazing, react to I’m In Love With My Car written & sung by Roger while he’s playing drums. As you see, I’ve gone down the rabbit hole & can’t say enough about them.
If you react to 'I'm in Love With My Car' use the official video Roger hated playing it live, because singing into the mike and playing the drums with his usual energy was very hard to do.
An interesting fact about this song: Fearing a tepid US response to Another One Bites the Dust, Queen had it released to an R&B Station in NYC, and the DJ's (I believe) were asked not to say who the artist was. After a week, the song was a huge hit on every R&B station in NYC, and word of mouth got out, and soon, this future US #1 Hit was playing all across the Country! It was a genius marketing strategy!
If you haven't already, you need to see their Live Aid set....he had a huge crowd doing his bidding! If you want to see more of Freddie playing the audience, and some of Deaky being amazing on bass, check out Dragon Attack live in Montreal.
If you’ve ever been to any type of sporting event you would have heard this one, and We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. They all regularly got played at basketball games. This video isn’t a proper live performance, but if you want to see a great one where the audience is singing the song for Freddie, check out their Wembley concert. Here’s the link for it. I guarantee you’ll love it. ua-cam.com/video/HnCgN4knr0Y/v-deo.html.
Freddie still has a full control of the crowd from Heaven, almost 30 years after his death. He can make 65.000+ people (when 90% of them are to young to have been around when Freddie was alive) singing in sync the whole song. Check out - '' LONDON, ENGLAND Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody - Hyde Park July 1st - ''. where there is no one on stage. The way that the crowd gets involved is one of the coolest thing ever. It gives you goosebumps.
React to the live version at Wembley (Friday night)1986...you really see his showmanship and he does lots of improvisations!!!! Don't do the Queen performance at Live Aid, 1985 just yet ( considered the greatest in rock music history)...save it until later, until you know Queen better ( you'll really see how he controls the crowd with a wave of a hand). In the meantime react to LOVE OF MY LIFE, live at Wembley 1986, amazing crowd control
Brian made the guitar he is playing from stuff he had laying around his house. It was an original that he made to be able to do those special vibrations and such.
If you wanna see more amusing Freddie antics onstage, check out Another One Bites the Dust live at Montreal 1981. It's a side of Freddie you don't always get to see. 😂
Nobody…and I mean *nobody* could control a crowd like Freddie, baby! That glorious man was absolute magic. We lost one of the most talented people in history(!) when his curtain closed for the last time.😔 F’ AIDS. RIP
Freddy and Michael had the same ora about them selves that many imitate but cant never duplicated. Their performance are not just ahead of it's time and unique, but its 2021 and their music lives on
This is one of Queen’s most popular songs. It was written by John Deacon, Queen’s bass player, who actually keeps the beat to this song. Brian and Roger weren’t keen on the song, but dear Michael Jackson told them they needed to put this out as a single and on LP. Thank you MJ for the good advice. And the rest is Queen history 👑🎸🥁🎤
That was an amazing reaction... I loved it, one of the best to Another One Bites The Dust that I've seen. Yessss definitely keep rabbiting down this QUEEN trail. It only leads to more greatness. Happy I found you and glad I subscribed.
Michael was a big fan of Queen's album Hot Space. He said it was a major influence on his album Thriller. He and Freddie cut some duets together. You can hear one of the songs on Freddie's album Mr. Bad Guy...There Must Be More to Life than This.
This live at Wembley 1986, fantastic... in fact... anything live at Wembley 1986. “Now I’m Here” live at Wembley. Medley of “In The Lap Of The Gods, Seven Seas Of Rhye and Tear It Up” Live at Wembley. Oh and “It’s a Kind off Magic” live at Wembley. ❤️Freddie❤️
Roger Taylor--drums/vocals, Brian May--Guitar/vocals; both have solo music, too! John Deacon--Bass (composed this song), retired from music in 1997. Freddie RIP
In my Senior year 1982 our varsity football team had been undefeated for weeks. They started blasting this song over the PA system with each win. We went the whole season and regionals undefeated. Granted we did lose in the State final but this song became our Anthem.
The drummer's name is Rodger Taylor and the bass player name is John Deacon he is the one who actually wrote the song Another One Bites the Dust which is why it has such a strong bass line the bass player John Deacon wrote this song it was a huge number one song in the United States for queen of course who is a British band
So happy you enjoyed this. Not that I’ve heard them all; but, this Hass to be one of the better versions. Queen is iconic. Yet, many have still not discovered them. Now these musicians play off each other. Many have said they are one of the greatest bands. At least in the Top One! 😁. 🌺
thanks, da real - see comments below -- they are saying most of what I'd say -- give it up for John Deacon - bassist for writing this (and slapping it!) -- Roger Taylor is our drummer - you already seem to know Brian May - absolutely no parallel -- and these guys are the ones that supported the genius that was Freddie! looking forward to more of your reactions...
A lot of people including myself thought this, however this song is the first he played on live late night television, he playing the accordion and his long time friend playing a box of toys as percussion. His first actual hit was My Bologna, parody of My Sharona by the Knack which was out one year earlier.
He was the "Strutmaster", this was this the song dedicated to me at my bachelorette party in 1982! What a blast! Check out "Someone To Love" in Montreal!
I love your reaction and your energy. I've loved Queen since I was 12 and my uncle started playing their albums back in the day. Everyone knows Freddie Mercury, the rest of the band is: Brian May on lead guitar, John Deacon on bass guitar and Roger Taylor on drums. They were one of white rock groups that had a funky edge to their sound.
Freddie’s got swag! “Now I’m Here” live from Wembley 1986 “White Queen” live from the Odeon 1975 “39” studio version to hear Brian singing lead & angelic harmonies! “I’m in Love with My Car” live from Montreal 1981 to hear Roger singing lead.
If you react to a live version of this song -- and you should -- please, please, please do Wembley in '86, not the '81 version at Montreal. (And for the record, this video was not live, just done on the stage where they rehearsed.)
In my Senior year 1982 our varsity football team had been undefeated for weeks. They started blasting this song over the PA system with each win. We went the whole season and regionals undefeated. Granted we did lose in the State final but this song became our Anthem. And Brian May still shreds the guitar to this day. He recently did a song with Five Funger Death Puch along with 2 other legends, Brantley Gilbert and Kenny Wayne Shepherd "Blue on Black".
Brian May’s a brilliant guitarist...he has a degree in astrophysics, Freddy had a degree is design and illustration, drummer Roger Taylor has a degree in biology, and John Deacon has a degree in Electronics.
so fun fact about this song. Queen and Freddie were friends with Michael Jackson. They played a rough cut of their new album for MJ and mentioned that they were thinking about cutting this song because they didn't like it very much. MJ told them they had to keep this song on the album because he loved it so much. MJ loved this song so much he made Smooth Criminal. Another one bites the dust is the direct inspiration for Smooth Criminal. Queen gave the king of pop the idea for one of his biggest hits. Band is Freddie Mercury - vocals Roger Taylor - Drums John Deacon - Bass Dr. Brian May - Guitar and, astrophysicist. He helped NASA with the mars rover.
Freddy Mercury... lead singer/frontman Brian May... guitar/backing vocals John Deacon... base/backing vocals (less often tho) Roger Taylor... drums/backing vocals Also don't forget both Brian AND Roger also sing lead on a number of songs too.
DOCTOR Brian May, Astrophysicist (has worked with NASA) on lead guitar/backing vocals. He and his father make "The Red Special" The guitar he still plays to this day. Using parts they had around the house. Roger Tayler (Scientist) drums, backing vocals John Decon (Engineer) Bass, rarely vocals and if he does the mic is turned down And of course Feddie Mercury! All have written #1 hits.
Wow, love Queen and I love this song. It is fire 🔥🔥Thankyou youngman. Your doing a great job discovering Queen. They really left their mark on music history, and made so many styles of music. I hope to see more, they were epic live. I suggest Who wants to live forever live at Budapest. Much bless and keep up the good work.
Freddie is the best front man there ever was or ever will be. No doubt about it. The four members of Queen were a magical combination, never to be matched. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor.
WHO ALL HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON FOR ME? WE AIMING FOR 1,000 LIKES YALL! LETS DO IT YALL
Rodger Taylor the drummer was responsible for some of the best backup vocals. And the only one you didn't mention John Deacon the bassist actually wrote this song
Deaky wrote several of their BIGGEST hits including this one. He never got enough recognition!
Roger was brilliant with backup vocals
Taylor had a voice!!!
@@susieq9801 i think its because you cant really hear him compared to the others and he also left Queen
John also wrote Best Friend for his wife. Freddie sings it beautifully!
I can't believe that you didn't even acknowledge John Deacon (the bassist).
He created this LEGENDARY riff that is so iconic! He was Queen's "Secret Weapon." 💯
It was a sad day when we lost Freddie Mercury. The man was an unmatched vocal talent and a amazing lyricist. He absolutely had a captivating stage presence. Queen will be talked about 100 years from now. Their music transcends time. 🙌🏼

John Deacon, Queen bassist, created this song. It’s sick!
Freddie didn’t control the crowd. He owned the crowd. He was the general in that massive military. Legend. RIP.

Freddie singing "Fat Bottomed Girls" at their Milton Keynes concert is a must see! 😂🤣😂🙈
YESSSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Naughty Freddie-🤣😜

Yesssss!!! Hahahaha
This song and the Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" were the perfect rhythm for CPR and were often used to train first responders.
Freddie is a fantastic front man and performer. The crowd loves him. It doesn't get any better than Freddie Mercury and Queen.
The only group to have all of them to have written a no 1 hit song
Freddie was one of kind! He wasn't just a vocalist he was a TRUE entertainer!!
RIP Freddie Mercury🙏❤
Love, love, LOVE this reaction!! Live Aid is a prime example of Freddie’s ability to control the crowd. As for songs, take your pick, they don’t have one that will disappoint you.

Brian May was the guitarist and Roger Taylor was the drummer. Queen never put out a bad song that I remember.❤️🤗 You should view the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. It's so good.
But it is only movie, not a true story about Queen, there are many lies and mistakes only for more drama
@@Danielik25 Yes, take the movie with a fistful of salt!
I love that John Deacon wrote this song for himself with what may be the most iconic bass line of all time.
Freddie didn’t dance, he strutted, iconic in every way! Beautiful Freddie, we miss you x
Freddie was one of the best vocalist of all time. His idol was Aretha Franklin. I can only imagine the magic those two could’ve done together on a song. #RIP Freddie & Aretha.

Well said....... I like that!
Go down the rabbit hole. Every live concert is great. 70’s and 80’s. Different look different style.
Nephew? This bop was on the R&B charts in the day. Ask your auntie/uncles. 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤

Montreal’ 81 save me and somebody to love
React to Queen- Don’t stop me now official video
Freddie brought joy to us all. Can't watch this without smiling and moving your shoulders.
watch LIVE AID at wimbleton stadium....amazing........i am 80 years old and i keep going back to watch. freakin crazy

I was part of the audience at a Queen gig in 1985 and I can assure you, he had all of right under his thumb ✌️🇦🇺🙃
Queen's band members all wrote at least 2 top ten hits.
😁 you must have heard this one. They play it at sporting events all the time when the opposing team loses.
Check out some of their live performances.
Brian May-guitar
Roger Taylor- drums
John Deacon- bass guitar
I'm so proud to see Queen still changing minds, beautiful music has no color
This song always played as we beat football teams in the 70's and 80's. Yes, so fun!
That's that good old school music
I love that you love Freddie.. his stage presence was magnetic.. he prowled
The drummer is Roger Taylor. He also hits a lot of the "high notes" in the songs.
Freddy didn't care what anyone thought, he was a legend.
Live Aid is a must and yes that is brian may
Brian made the guitar he is playing from stuff he had laying around his house. It was an original that he made to be able to do those special vibrations and such.
Freddie was the ultimate showman. Queen wasn't just a concert, it was an experience.

When Freddy walked on the stage he owned the stage I know teenagers today that are still rocking to this
Freddy and Michael had the same ora about them selves that many imitate but cant never duplicated. Their performance are not just ahead of it's time and unique, but its 2021 and their music lives on
Almost 2023, STILL WATCHING, LAUGHING, CRYING.........

That was an amazing reaction... I loved it, one of the best to Another One Bites The Dust that I've seen. Yessss definitely keep rabbiting down this QUEEN trail. It only leads to more greatness. Happy I found you and glad I subscribed.
Have you seen Freddie all stripped down doing this one in Montreal 1981? If not... whew... 🔥
They were not even going to release this song. They played it for Michael Jackson. He told them this would be a hit in pop, r&b,etc.
Michael was a big fan of Queen's album Hot Space. He said it was a major influence on his album Thriller. He and Freddie cut some duets together. You can hear one of the songs on Freddie's album Mr. Bad Guy...There Must Be More to Life than This.

Roger Taylor--drums/vocals, Brian May--Guitar/vocals; both have solo music, too! John Deacon--Bass (composed this song), retired from music in 1997. Freddie RIP
Killer reaction! Loved your obvious joy 😍😃 You might also enjoy reacting to his performance of ‚Dragon Attack‘ in Montreal 1981
In my Senior year 1982 our varsity football team had been undefeated for weeks. They started blasting this song over the PA system with each win. We went the whole season and regionals undefeated. Granted we did lose in the State final but this song became our Anthem.

This John Deacon creation is one of the two Queen US no.1's the other being 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' written by Freddie as a tribute to Elvis.
Rodger , Deacon, Brian are so much Queen as Freddie. That was a musical mismatch that was perfect.💗😎🎼
thanks, da real - see comments below -- they are saying most of what I'd say -- give it up for John Deacon - bassist for writing this (and slapping it!) -- Roger Taylor is our drummer - you already seem to know Brian May - absolutely no parallel -- and these guys are the ones that supported the genius that was Freddie! looking forward to more of your reactions...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Weird Al Another One Rides the Bus was his first hit based on this song
A lot of people including myself thought this, however this song is the first he played on live late night television, he playing the accordion and his long time friend playing a box of toys as percussion.
His first actual hit was My Bologna, parody of My Sharona by the Knack which was out one year earlier.

You know the movie Highlander? all queen music.
The Flash Gordon movie from the 80's ? all queen music..
Love it Adogg. This one brings back memories every time. My mom used to play this on her 45 vinyls during parties after my dad's Softball games.
hey jessica how u been
@@darealadogg I'm doing good. How are you hun?
I remember this when it was fresh on the radio. Very popular in my school. Glad you're discovering more Queen and Freddie.
Witness his control at the Live Aid performance
Freddie’s got swag!
“Now I’m Here” live from Wembley 1986
“White Queen” live from the Odeon 1975
“39” studio version to hear Brian singing lead & angelic harmonies!
“I’m in Love with My Car” live from Montreal 1981 to hear Roger singing lead.
This song is what happens when the bass player writes a hit.
I recommend you watch the movie, Bohemian Rhapsody. It's the story of Freddy's life and the band. Its really good.
If you react to a live version of this song -- and you should -- please, please, please do Wembley in '86, not the '81 version at Montreal. (And for the record, this video was not live, just done on the stage where they rehearsed.)
John Deacon, who plays bass guitar, wrote this one.
Too see Freddy control a crowd, listen to, Love of My Life, live in Rio. He has an audience of 250,000 under control.

Brian May’s a brilliant guitarist...he has a degree in astrophysics, Freddy had a degree is design and illustration, drummer Roger Taylor has a degree in biology, and John Deacon has a degree in Electronics.
Usually "Another One Bites the Dust" and their other song "We Are The Champions" are played at the same time, both Epic!
One of the best!!! Awesome performances!!!! Thanks so much!♥️
so fun fact about this song. Queen and Freddie were friends with Michael Jackson. They played a rough cut of their new album for MJ and mentioned that they were thinking about cutting this song because they didn't like it very much. MJ told them they had to keep this song on the album because he loved it so much. MJ loved this song so much he made Smooth Criminal.
Another one bites the dust is the direct inspiration for Smooth Criminal. Queen gave the king of pop the idea for one of his biggest hits.

Wow, love Queen and I love this song. It is fire 🔥🔥Thankyou youngman. Your doing a great job discovering Queen. They really left their mark on music history, and made so many styles of music. I hope to see more, they were epic live. I suggest Who wants to live forever live at Budapest. Much bless and keep up the good work.
Freddie is the best front man there ever was or ever will be. No doubt about it. The four members of Queen were a magical combination, never to be matched. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor.
The drummer was going to school as a dentist and the guitarist studied to be an astrophysicist
