      Back about 1975-76 I was just a kid. This was before the internet, before MTV, when all we had FM radio. I probably owned 6 albums total. If they didn't play them on the radio you would never know a group existed. So, I had never heard of Queen. I was living in St. Louis and the local Rock n Roll station KSHE-95 would play 7 albums from start to finish from 6:00 p.m. til midnight on Sunday evening. It was called The Seventh Day. They didn't play any Top 40 since that was what they played during the day. The Seventh Day was for concept albums, new music and eclectic stuff. That's where I first heard Queen. And they just blew me away. They were right up there with Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, Yes, ELO, Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Every band was unique and every song was a story to be listened to carefully with the headphones on.

      I mean, everybody grows up differently with different exposure to music and culture. And I don't think that learning about a singer whose music you don't ordinarily listen to within your peer group is a must in school or whatever, so I understand why he's so oblivious to Queen or Freddy Mercury.. I am just happy that he appreciates Mercurys talent upon his first ever listening to a Queen song, and it proves to me that objectively good music cuts through all the cultural differences and unites the human kind all over the world :)

      @@DevilsBeefCake Hi. Thanks for replying but to be fair. Most radio stations have played this track and a lot by Queen. I often laugh at adults that's haven't heard of Queen and look at react videos with a pinch of salt. As I can't believe people are that closed off from types of music. I also can't believe radio stations or demographics listen to one type of music in the US. But having been to the US many times and see news stations that broadcast nothing outside of the state they are in. I'm not supprised. Queen is one of the biggest bands in history worldwide. It's like saying I've never heard of Star Wars
      if it was a react video of Tools Right in Two. I'd agree because mainstream media don't play excellent bands that are controversial

    • @DevilsBeefCake
      @DevilsBeefCake 5 років тому +12

      Ceeb22 as a german, I agree that most of the main stream radio stations have played Queen in some capacity, but I have never heard Bohemian Rhapsody on the radio as it is quite frankly too long of a song and too „complex“ for the average listener that just wants some entertainment on their way to work or whatever. When the staitions play Queen songs it is mostly songs like „I‘ve got to break free“ or „another one bites the dust“. I have never been to the US myself, but I‘m assuming that the content creators peer group doesn‘t consist of avid rock music listeners and that he himself hasn‘t gotten into much contact with this kind of music, just because of his cultural background, but again, I‘m just assuming this.
      Personally I got into Rock because of my father and my friends, whose fathers introduced them into Rock aswell, so it just built up from there.
      And in my opinion, Eminems Lose Yourself is a much more Mainstream Radio friendly song than Bohemian Rhapsody, even though the latter is a better song objectively (in my opinion).

    Interesting factoids:
    “Bohemian Rhapsody “ was solely composed, written and produced by Freddie Mercury. The bands label at the time refused to release it as a single because at 6 minutes, they argued the song was too long.
    Freddie had a friend whom was a DJ named Kenny Everett. Kenny played the song on his station several times over a few days. The fans were crazy about the song. It has since been considered the best song of the 20th century.
    Each member of Queen, Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon all penned number one songs, making them the only band to have done so. (Even The Beatles didn’t quite do that.)
    Freddie’s voice has been registered by musicologists as having a 4 to 5 octave range. (A piano has 7)
    Unfortunately, Freddie contracted the HIV/AIDS virus at some point in the early 80’s, was diagnosed in 1986 and sadly succumbed to it in November of 1991, just one day before announcing publicly that he had the disease. *I was 20 when he passed. I was shocked and cried until my jaw ached when the news of his death broke along with millions of other fans. I still cry over his death. Several members of the music industry declared Freddie as the best singer/ front man of all-time.
    Each member of the band are highly intelligent as well as obviously talented.
    Freddie had a degree in design.
    Brian May has a doctorate of astrophysics and has worked on projects with NASA.
    John Deacon has a degree in electronic engineering.
    Roger Taylor has a degree in biology.
    Almost everything about Queen and each member is fascinating.
    There is a fantastic documentary called “Queen: The Days of Our Lives”. You must see it.
    Welcome to the Queen community! Your journey will change your life. 💜💫👑

      It’s regionality and background! I didn’t hear a lot of pop or rock “oldies” until I was a young adult because my parents just didn’t play it in my household and the community I grew up in played a LOT of old school R&B, blues, and Motown. So there is probably a lot of music I grew up with that others didn’t discover until they were older for the same reasons. I figure as long as we eventually hear these gems, we’re good.

    This kid's (I mean kid n a genuinely affectionate way) reaction is just absolutely delightful.
    Most people get caught out with each musical shift. Not this guy, he's just vibing, loving the instruments, loving the mood, being thrilled with the effect of the pan through his headphones...
    And, both adorably and astutely, letting us know that he recognises an amazingly wonderful singer and his voice.
    I LOVE how in tune with the composition in its entirety this guy was.
    He claims at the end that he feels like learning an instrument; the inference is he has never learned to play any before...
    I have watched a few of his reactions now and it's very very evident that he has that innate musicality that not everyone does.
    I hope he has actually looked into learning to play something. He gets music, he would get so much out of being able to play and improvise a jam.

      I'm an old fart at 63. But I grew up with the best possible music ever. Kids these days don't realise what they are missing, or how much modern music owes to yesterday's music.

    Every time I hear Freddie's voice, I cry that he's no longer walking and living with us.

    I'm so grateful for UA-cam because there's nothing more pure than seeing someone react to the beauty of Freddie Mercury's voice for the first time

    Being able to see your reaction is priceless. No one is emotionally ready for this song the first time they hear it. Also to all the "he was gay" comments. This is bi-erasure. He was a bisexual man that had a long time relationship with a women he referred to as his wife even at the end of his life and died with a long time partner that was male. Don't do him the disservice of erasing part of his identity.

    You're the only reaction channel I'm subscribed to. You recognize good music and are respectful of the artists. Keep it up!

    It’s so stunning to me to see someone hearing Queen for the first time! To see absolute perfection for the first time, OMG ! Oh Freddy how I miss you! The rest of the guys too of course, it’s just that Freddy is so spectacular you forget how really fantastic the others are!

    A little respect, too, for the extraordinarily talented Brian May, one of the best guitarists in the history of rock music.

      Exactly, and for the whole band. Freddie was so good he tended to overshadow the others who were all great in their own right.
