I love the part where the record executive, played by Mike Myers, says no one will never head bang in their car to this.. that's exactly what they did in Wayne's World!
Mike Meyers went to the filmmaker and said he wanted to be in the film, because of the famous scene in Wayne’s World,so they gave him the perfect dialogue to say!
To sell ads less music more commercials.
And help the song top the music chart again after the Wayne's World movie.
I was the 1995 concert for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Been to ACL Fest many times and hundreds of other shows large and small. Saw U2 in Vegas in December. Was never afraid for my life except at Woodstock 99.
Mike Myers not Jimmy Fallen. Thats why he makes all the wayne’s world references. Jimmy Is band of brothers.
Rami was obviously brilliant as Freddie, but personally I keep being amazed by Gwilym Lee as Brian. He got every single bit of his mannerisms, body language and tone of voice down, as well as his gentle erudite vibes. Perfect casting.
Now, are you ready for The Who! Their rock opera Tommy. My all time favorite film.
Definitely. He was absolutely perfectly cast in this role.
Gwilym Lee explained how he did so well at playing Bryan May
Right? He looked AND sounded like Brian, had his mannerisms down...wonderful casting and performance that is too overlooked.
ETA: I've been absorbing, like a sponge, everything Queen since I was 12 years old, in 1975...I know these guys (or the personas they present) very well.
He literally looks just like him😂😂
Brian May, the lead guitarist who was studying astrophysics before joining the band, went back to after Freddie's death, and completed his PhD to become Dr. of Astrophysics. He worked with NASA to help develop the New Horizons Spacecraft that went to Pluto. In 2005, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. Sir Brian May, PhD. As a science teacher, I love to play Queen's music for my students and tell them you can be a scientist and a rock star.
While obviously not as big as Queen, there are some well-known figures in the punk scene that also have degrees. Bad Religion singer Greg Graffin has a PhD in zoology and lectures at Cornell on evolutionary biology, Descendents singer Milo Aukerman had a PhD in biochemistry, Offspring singer Dexter Holland has a Master's in molecular biology, and Dillinger Four drummer Lane Pedersen has a PhD in clinical psychology. Just a few other examples of rockers who are also brainy as hell. haha!
Also duff Macgaen went back to college and became a laywer
He was actually knighted by prince charles in either 2021 or 2022, not 2005.
Fun Fact: The actor playing the bassist John Deacon was in the first Jurassic Park film as the boy who got electrocuted on the fence.
I was wondering why he looked so familiar!!!
I never knew that cool fact
The 70s were a BLAAAAST I was their ,
and he read to be Jack in Hook
He was also Eugene Sledge in 'The Pacific'
The trucker making eyes at him is Adam Lambert, the current lead singer of queen😊
Yes!!! It made me smile when I realized it.
You must, must, must see the entire Live Aid performance. It was epic! I attended Live Aid in Philly and I’m sure Freddy had no idea (at the time) that he had 2 full stadiums in the palm of his hand. They paused the concert in Philly so we could watch Queen’s performance on screen via satellite. We were singing along and cheering as if Queen was playing on stage. It was an amazing day!
Another really cool thing that happened that day (among thousands), was that Phi Collins performed at Wembley, hopped on the Concorde, landed in Philly, and played at RFK stadium. What a day!
Same here. I was 15 and lived just outside Philadelphia, and my mom dragged me to the concert. I didn't want to go.. im so glad I was wrong.
I worked security at Wembley on that hot summers day in England and was leaping around with everyone else throughout the day,but Queen were special on that mega list of acts,there were others that were superb of course both in London and Philly but Freddie and the boys took it to another level.
Great times.
You said "One's a scientist, one's a dentist" but John Deacon was an electrical engineer and inventor. He built Brian May's amp out of an old radio and stuff he found in the trash. That amp gave Brian the ability to make all kinds of unique sounds with his guitar. He was also a financial wizard who saved them from going broke and breaking up and wrote several of their biggest hits. He is often neglected.
You're partly correct.
Brian May also built his guitar with his dad when he was just 15 years old, The Red Special. It has 3 pickups in a unique wiring system, and 6 switches (typical is 3) with individual on/off and phase switches for each pickup. Plus his treble booster, which wasn't widely used by other bands when Queen was a lot younger. 😊
The Deacy Amp definitely makes Brian's sound amazing, but it is only used in the studio, and not on all recordings. But Brian felt it made the multi layered harmonies "sit together in a more symphonic way". He can literally make it sound like a trumpet, clarinet, etc, and even stringed instruments.
Still awake? 😂 That's probably more than you ever wanted to know about Brian's equipment. 🤣
Freddie never had a falling out with his band, and they were all totally supportive of his solo album. This is a biopic, not a biography. Take everything with an entire shaker of salt.
Yeah, but the definition of a Biopic is biographical movie so it's easy to expect biopics to be accurate.
No Paul Prentner almost broke Queen up
Brian May and Roger Taylor, were actively involved in the production of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. They served as creative consultants and executive producers, ensuring that the film accurately portrayed the band's history and the life of Freddie Mercury. I understand why they made the edits that were made. They exaggerated tension among the band, altered timeliness, etc. Still a great representation of the story of Queen.
BUT, while the movie implies that they broke up, that is not true. Roger Taylor actually put out a solo album prior to Freddie's. And the band had just been on tour before Live Aid.
Also, Freddie didn't know he had AIDS until '87, and they made 3 more albums before his death.
😊?
@@msdarby515 Which makes me wonder what they've got against Freddie. He was never the kind of entitled prima donna he's portrayed as in the film. Yet they were okay with this hatchet job.
Rami Malek was a bit of surprise casting; partly because originally the producers wanted Sasha Baron Cohen (Borat) to play Freddie Mercury. But because he wanted to go full out with his portrayal of Mercury, they passed on him and went for Malek; after seeing him in the series "Mr. Robot".
He wound up winning not just the Oscar for Best Actor in 2018, but also a Golden Globe for Best Actor and a Screen Actors' Guild Award for Best Actor.
During his Golden Globes speech, Malek thanked Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor for "ensuring that authenticity and inclusivity exist in the music, in the world, and in all of us." He also thanked Freddie for giving him "the joy of a lifetime".
Malik is also Egyptian, he's a first born American in his family (with a twin brother). His bone structure in his face from his heritage made him have more facial features close to Freddy.
Malik did a great job, but i think Cohen would have killed it as well.
@@NecramoniumVideoCan't see Sasha in that role
@@kathleenclark815 People also did not see Heath Ledger as the Joker, and look what he did with that role.
@@NecramoniumVideothere’s a difference between playing a fictional villain and playing a real life legend. Besides Sacha’s love for making racist, sexist characters and getting famous from exploiting stereotypes of Arab’s and Africans wouldn’t have aligned with Freddie’s legacy. Rami was the right choice.
Because in Wayne's World, Mike Meyers opened millions of new ears to Bohemian Rhapsody song, Queen put him in their movie as "...the man who turned down Bohemian Rhapsody!" Ironically! 👍
Also the record propducer thst was portraid in thos movie is Mike Myers.
I didn't realize that was him. Hilarious!
The Fugitive starting Harrison Ford
He said no one would head bang that song, and he head bang to that song in in Wayne's World.
Billions? It opened some americans ears, thats about it. SNL and Waynes World was mainly a thing in the US
The casting of the band in this was spot on & when you watch the real live aid, you’ll be shocked how accurate its is, they really did nail it as a whole in this biopic.
Remy Malik won an Oscar for this role
To get the joke behind Ray Fosters (Mike Myers) comment of “no kids will ever crank up the volume in their cars and bang their heads to bohemian rhapsody” you have to watch “Wayne’s World” which also stars Mike Myers. It’ll be a good in between comedy palette cleanser.
Yeah, Wayne's World is an awesome movie. That in-joke in this movie is great. It was only then I realised that was Mike Myers, as Ray Foster. He was a mix of different music bosses, but apparently 'loosely based on EMI chief Roy Featherstone'. Æ 🙏
The actor playing John Deacon was the little boy in Jurassic Park
I didn't know that
And he and Rami Malek both starred in The Pacific
Fun fact: Brian the guitarist made his signature red an black guitar with his dad when he was younger
And Lady Gaga named herself after their song “radio Gaga”
You two definitely need to watch
1. The original Live Aid performance
2. The famous Wayne’s World car scene.
3. Green Day concerts when Bohemian Rhapsody is played to see how much Queen can still control an audience.
Will not be disappointed. Guaranteed
You are a man of culture👍🏻
Watch the original Live Aid concert and the recreated movie version side by side! They did a SPECTACULAR job of duplicating it for the film!
Rami Malek won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie, and both Roger Taylor and Brian May attended the ceremony.
His acceptance speech at the Oscars was something else...
I was at Live Aid that day. I distinctly remember during the Radio GaGa handclaps thinking that I would remember that moment for the rest of my life, and I have.
That has got to be the biggest flex I've ever heard. Super jealous, that must have been so incredible!!
I remember watching it on television and doing the actions in our living room.
@@LynneStringerAuthor All my friends were asking me about it the next day and said they'd been watching as well :)
@@ashleyshelton6588 It was utterly exhausting because a girlfriend and I got to Wembley about 10pm the night before. Thousands of us slept on the concrete to get in early and get a good spot, so by the time it started at noon we were all at the point of exhausted hysteria already. Never experienced anything like it before or since.
The first thing I thought when I saw that crowd was ….”what if I had to go the bathroom”.
So please tell me 😂 where was it and how difficult was it to get
To a bathroom.
I’m so glad you got to experience this! I would have loved to be there but I think I was like 9 😂 what an amazing memory for you !!
Watching you all nearly cry, made me cry. I am so fortunate to be 78. Now some might not think that's fortunate. But remember, I was there to see ARENA ROCK!!! That makes being 78 all right by me!
I miss the concerts from back then. The audience fully participated....no.cell phone.
Every time Queen scheduled a concert in my hometown we attended. So glad and lucky to have had that opportunity.
The legend that is Freddie Mercury had every person in that crowd and millions world wide in the palm of his hand , I personally don’t think there has ever been an entertainer like him , God rest his soul , great reaction 👍🇬🇧
The most important thing to remember is that Queen was a band not just Freddy and the boys!
Yes!!! Amen !
it should be known Queen is tha greatest band of all time not Rock not Heavy Metal or Alternative greatest flat out no specific genre greatest frontman & entertainer (no shade to Prince or MJ) & top notch band members who each wrote #1 hits
@@XxThePhantomFreezexX
Well like all opinions of who is the best, that’s very selective.
Rami Malek studied Freddie’s moves until he got them down perfectly. Queens full set at that cancer was 20 minutes long as was everyone else’s set that night. The actors did the full set but of course not all of it was in the movie. The full set is in the extras with the DVD and digital version of the movie. Also there is a side by side comparison on UA-cam of Freddie Mercury and Rami Malek doing the concert. It is amazing!
You have to take this movie with a grain of salt. Scenes are moved around and times of events and Freddie illness.
Rami Malek hired a personal coach to assure he did all of Freddie's body language and moves right on target. Rami won an Oscar for his role as Freddie. Also, the rest of Queen also participated in the making of this film and were very happy with the results. The little changes to the sequence of events in making this movie does not take away the story of Queen. Another fact, the Live Aid scene was filmed first and this made Rami a little nervous.
its a pity the film is 90 percent fiction. His dad wasnt so hard on him at all. Freddie didnt invent so many of the early sounds etc
There are some historical inaccuracies in the movie, like they made Freddie appear like he was the only one who partied hard, but the whole band was known for their wild parties, and the movie made the rest of the band look like they didn't party at all. He was also diagnosed with AIDS in late April 1987, not before Live Aid. The channel History Buffs has made a good video about the inaccuracies.
Yes, I agreed with you. I also check History Buffs and other documentaries. Please take note also that Roger and Brian were the first to make a solo album not Freddie. In the movie, Freddie's portrayal of his personality is different. I suggest that it would be better if you watch the documentaries on him. He is not perfect but a great soul.
Brian had input into the script which is why they are portrayed as sweetness and light and Freddie was portrayed as promiscuous and the rest. Also Paul Prenter wasn’t the only reason they had issues.
And gave impression that not one penny had been donated until Queen appeared
This is the Most popular song from the 70s And their where so many Giants Released back in 1975, I was 14 woooow the time flew by I'm 63 NOW LOL
I still have my bohemian rhapsody 45 i bought with my allowance money in 1975 at age 7
There is a lot of “artistic licence” in this film so the timeline is all over the place to move the plot along. Brian had a big input into the film which is why the rest of the band are portrayed more innocently than Freddie.
Paul Prenter wasn’t the best influence on Freddie but he also wasn’t the devil. Freddie could make his own decisions. Also Freddie wasn’t sad and alone before he met Jim, he had his own family of friends living with him.
The documentary would be great but also the entire Live Aid Event.
On the DVD you can see the whole live aid performance.
@@rebeccablackburn9487 I have the DVD in question and nope there are parts missing from the Live Aid concert on DVD. Plus it says so on the booklet supplied with the DVD box set. Reason being as I watched the whole event at the time, But never thought to record the event. As some parts that is missing are on UA-cam and other parts, Well lost forever. Umless someone who recorded the whole event from the British start to end and USA start to end. and can uload to UA-cam if possible or somewhere else.
@@Taamaar it's on the DVD extras, not in the movie.
The Buddy Holly Story is an excellent movie that shows the problems rock and roll singers and bands had in the 50’s trying to get their music played on the radio.
Oh, yea, that's a great one. Gary Busey.
Yesss!! Dang it!! I knew I forgot this one!! This ones Oscar quality!!
The Buddy Holly Story is my favorite rock artist bio pic!
That is really good film. Gary Busey WAS Buddy Holly. Perfect casting.
Gary Busey also did all the vocals in that movie, unlike this one that actually used Freddie's voice.
The song Bohemian Rhapsody was the definition of being ahead of its time. When it came out, there was nothing like it, which is why I believe it got so many mixed reviews. The world wasn't ready for it yet.
The song had its second revival in the early '90s because of a movie that came out called Wayne's World, which you guys should definitely watch. That movie is a comedy that features a lot of great classic rock songs. The song Bohemian Rhapsody appeared in that film which introduced it to a whole new generation who had never heard it before. My generation. We immediately fell in love with the song and started requesting it on all the radio stations and that's what brought the song up to number two on the billboards decades after its original release.
There has never been a better frontman a man who had total control of any crowd in front of him.
FINALLY!😊
I have been waiting forever for you to do this movie!
Understand that the timelines and dramatic moments were movie-ized but it still is fabulous!
Big one....Freddie did not know he had HIV at Live Aid. It was 2 years later in '87 when he was diagnosed and he died in 1991.
The band did do solo projects and in fact Roger was the first with a solo album. That did not cause the tension. They were 4 perfectionist personalitys. They fought a lot, like family, but knew that they were better together. At the time of Live Aid they hadn't performed or recorded in about 5 months. They all needed a breather and were generally viewed as a band whose best days were behind them. Live Aid changed everything. It is considered the best live rock performance of all time. It gave them a second wind and they stayed toured,and recorded together until Freddie's death.
Their last 2 albums while Fred was alive contain some beautiful contemplative about the beauty of life and the world written by them all. Another album was released following Fred's death with music that he did the vocals for and told them to finish them up later. They did.
Paul really was a wedge for the band and Freddie did become self indulgent but was always considered to be a loving and generous friend.
He left 50% of his music royalties and nearly all of his personal possessions to Mary. He was the godfather to her eldest son. She lived on in his house with everything the same until early last year when in her 70s and 32 years after his death she auctioned most of the homes contents at Sotheby's. They were expected to bring $17 million but in what turned out to be an auction that smashed the record for a single person collection it brought in $54 million. Sotheby's held pre auction exhibitions in New York, L.A. and Tokyo and finally the entire collection for 1 month in London. Over 100,000 people attended.
The band Queen was very unique in that they all 4 wrote hit records. They are collectively one of the most educated and intelligent bands ever. Freddie had a graphic arts degree and designed their emblem. Roger started out in dentistry but switched to a biology degree. John had a degree in electrical engineering and designed the famous deaky amplifier. Brian has a doctorate in astrophysics and has assisted NASA.
John retired and retreated from public life shortly after Freddie died. He maintains his business ties with Roger and Brian but is more or less a hermit and they haven't personally spoken in years.
Roger and Brian both have had solo careers and for the last 11 years have toured as Queen with Adam Lambert. They're spectacular.
Roger and Brian have both been honored but British Royalty with both of them being made CBE ( Commander of The British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth and Brian awarded a Knighthood by King Charles, making his Sir Dr. Brian May. For his contributions to music, conservation and animal rights.
Yep I'm a fan...can you tell?
And Adam lambert was in the movie as the truck driver when Freddie was calling Mary. Did you see the Imax concert? So good!
John Deacon's son Luke was also in the movie
Yeah! Finally!
Yes, I can tell you're a great fan! Thanks so much for sharing all these great details.
I had been to a few Queen concerts during the 70s and 80s. They never disappointed. Fast forward... Queen with Adam Lambert performed a couple of months ago in NYC, and this time around, I attended along with my daughter and son-in-law. It was their first time. There were many young people there, singing along faithfully to each song. It was very moving to experience this. Freddie's spirit infused the entire show, and Adam is quite the showman. It was a lot of fun and also a touch bittersweet for me. Everyone I had seen Queen with in the past is no longer with us, and yet, I saw the joy in my kids' faces as they got to witness one of the greatest bands ever. Life in full circle!
Oh, and I was at the Live Aid concert at the Philadelphia stadium. When Queen came on to perform, the simulcast was viewed by us on a jumbotron. Everything you saw happening at Wembley Stadium was a mirror image of what we were doing from our venue. It was an unforgettable event to be part of. I had no idea then, just how iconic a performance that would become! One for the history books!
I hope that wherever he is, Freddie can feel how much we all still love him♥
Finally! Someone is reacting to this movie! Thank you!
The Live Aid concert will blow your mind it is so good. He absolutely controlled the audience
I remember the day Freddie died in 1991. I was a pretty big fan, and had no idea he was sick, or at least not that I remember. It was a very sad day. You couldn't really be open about an AIDS diagnosis at that time and he hid it well. I don't know if you caught the shots of cats around his house. Freddie was a huge cat lover and gave a home to so many. After his death, he left everything to Mary and his cats, and some of them were also adopted by Jim.
They did a phenomenal job casting this movie for the whole band. They looked so much like the guys, it was eerie.
Yes, I remember those 2 days vividly. One day, It was publicly announced that he had AIDS and the very next day he was gone.
Heard the news in class in college. Our professor told us and we all fell apart, professor included.
My friends & I cried like we’d lost a family member.
Cried like a baby then and ever since to this day.
There will NEVER be another Freddie Mercury. Ever.
@@CBGB_1977 I also remember Magic Johnson disclosing his HIV status around the same time. I was also in college and heard about that, and Freddie on my tiny little college dorm TV. It was a huge shock and so incredibly sad.
Try listening to Marc Martel and his covers of Queen songs. He was the voice behind the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack. It's almost haunting how similar his delivery is to Freddy's. 😀
When the AIDS crisis came, bigots got louder. It was a crappy time for LGBT people, and there was deep ignorance about it by many even after it was known that it was not transmitted through casual contact.
I was trying to learn French and had my radio alarm tuned into a French station. My husband was listening also and it was him who told me Freddie had died.
Rami Malek swept the Best Actor awards in 2018 including the Academy Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild (SAG), and the BAFTA (British Academy Film and Television Awards)
Mr Robot is soooo good
Another great cameo was the trucker who goes into the bathroom at the rest stop, who Freddy follows. The trucker is Adam Lambert, who is now typically the lead singer for Queen when they do concerts.
And I hate that it is too late but this weekend, at IMAX theaters, they had a high Rez, 12-channel audio presentation of Queen's concert in Montreal played back in 1981. The concert was specially taped on 35mm film, completely with great sound recording -- that was recently remastered for IMAX. Unfortunately, they only released it for the one weekend. Since I couldn't make it, I hope they do a second weekend in the future; apparently it made people feel they were actually seeing Queen in concert.
Did you know there’s an outtake of that scene? Adam L goes in the toilet and Rami follows then comes running back out shaking his head and laughing then Adam your and says “you could a had it”🤣I’m curious to know what happened
My sister and I watched Live Aid on a borrowed black and white t.v. that we begged our uncle for because we could NOT miss Queen. Trust me when I say that we both sang everything Freddy told us to, and we did all of the Radio Gaga movements. It was wonderful, knowing that people around the world were likely doing exactly what we were in that moment, not just the crowd they were singing in front of.
Note: they messed with the timeline: FM didn't have AIDS (or didn't know he had it at this time), but he did have the flu, if I remember? So he was still sick, but it was a pretty mundane sick, unless you're a singer, singing in front of a worldwide crowd.
In case ya’ll didn’t know Michael Jackson was the one who persuaded Queen to release Another One Bites The Dust as a single. Michael and Freddie became friends around the early 80s and they played Michael the song and didn’t know if it was worthy to be a single and Michael loved it and convinced them
Michael was also inspired by that song and wrote Billie Jean.
@@djlp2212 that was I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) by Hall and Oates
I literally tell this story ever time I hear that song because it still amazes me that we have Michael to thank for it. 😂
@@djlp2212 tha sound for tha Thriller album was inspired by tha record too & also evryone knos how a llama literally caused greatness from bein made Freddie featured on tha Thriller album
In the old days, a single meant the song was put out on a 45 record ( the only way to buy one song then - though actually you got two as there was another song on the "B" side ).
I was 18. I watched this entire concert and recorded parts of it on cassette, still have it. I remember Phil Collins playing in both London, then flying on The Concorde to play again in Philadelphia on the same day. Everyone thought Duran Duran would be the highlight of the show, but Queen made history that day.
I sat in front of the TV all 17 hours of the broadcast. Incredible lineup for sure!
The highlight? Paul McCartney, Elton, and David Bowie performed.
i got the dvd 4 disc boxset of the whole event
every bit of footage from wembley and philadephia, its worth getting if its still available
Dire Straits were good too...
@@treetopjones737 The entire concert was epically amazing. But there's no denying that the Queen performance stood far above the rest. They are still talked about for how they played, how they truly captured the audience, and how their timing was unprecedentedly beyond impeccable. I'm not belittling any of the greats that participated in Live Aid. But Queen dominated that entire festival, in precisely 20 minutes.
When I saw Greem Day two years ago... before the concert started..the stadium was playing Bohemian Rhapsody over the speakers to the crowd. We were all singing the song..the whole 40K of us..every word. It was so cool.
Freddie Mercury was a icon. His voice was incredible. The man had a dream and it came true. There will never be another Freddie Mercury. Not now Not Ever.
During the Live-Aid performance you can actually see when Freddie blows his Mama a kiss like he promised.. ❤
The Live Aid was move for move exactly the same as Freddie's performance ....AMAZING
Freddie was an absolute genius.
Mike Myers is totally unrecognizable but does a great performance as the Producer that led to "Death On Two Legs" which is one of my favorite Queen songs.
I'm honestly surprised it has taken this long to get into band/musician movies. May I suggest La Bamba (Ritchie Valens) and The Doors.
I would say The Dirt, the Motley Crue biopic but I think the rea tion video for that one would be only 10 mins long with all the editing they would have to do for UA-cam to allow it to post lol
The Runaways would be a good rock band biopic to watch. Kristen Stewart as a young Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Curie
"What's Love Got to Do With It" (Tina Turner), "Great Balls of Fire" (Jerry Lee Lewis), "Coal Miner's Daughter" (Loretta Lyn), and you mentioned "The Rose" which is based on a Janis Joplin style character, not the lady herself, but is so evocative of the time, and made Bette Midler's name.
I’m surprised too. The Buddy Holly Story would also be a good movie for them to watch.
Also, “Walk the Line” about Johnny Cash and “Ray” about Ray Charles.
Musical biopics (and musicals) are tough editing because of the rules.
Live Aid was one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, in 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40% of the world population
I was 15 and glued to my tv in Nova Scotia. Never saw anything like it for that time. Fabulous all the way 😎😍👏 So happy for this reaction. What a time of music.
Live Aid was simotunous in London and Philadelphia at the same time. Phil Collins performed in both countries, taking a private jet between the UK and the US.
I was also 15 for Live Aid and still have my hoodie. ❤
I was already working in television then, but was still at a local CBS broadcast affiliate in north Mississippi. We had couple of big ol' C-band satellite receivers, and just called our satellite co-ordination company to ask which bird & channel it was on. Used the dish we weren't using for receiving the network to find the LIve Aid signal, and called our friends without cable over to the station to watch it with us.
It was not just queen playing
@@onetruthmediacompany In the UK U2,David Bowie.Phil Collins,The Who.The US was Black Sabbath reunion w/ Ozzy.Tom Petty, Tina Turner.Long list of performers both places.Queen just stole the show that day
My friends and I all dressed up for the pre-release of the film…and cried all the way through!
Saw it 17 times in the theater and innumerable times on telly.
Yeah, there were several liberties taken for dramatic affect, but this film was done so beautifully with the guiding aid of the other band members.
Rami Malek won every acting award including the Oscar for his performance as Freddie.
Long live Queen! ❤👑
Rocket Man with Taron Egerton as Elton John is a real fun movie
Funny that he played that role after Elton guest starred in Taron’s movie, “Kingsmen: The Golden Circle”
@@Parallax-3D iconic
The film only invented some facts and altered the chronology of others. The two Rock in Rio shows, each for more than 300 thousand people, were in 1985 and not at the end of the 70s. Regarding his illness, no one in the group knew at the time of Live Aid. They only found out much later. They put this in the film to give it more dramatic and emotional tones, which earned it a lot of criticism.
That's true. Thanks for the comment, which I totally agree with. You can understand why they did it this way. So, the film could end on a high moment. Æ 🙏
Freddie didn't even know then. He was diagnosed quite a bit later. He did thd throat infection at Live Aid though.
And the movie does not show the correct way they met. Also the thing about the mike was not true. Also the band never really broke up and Freddie did not beg them to do Live Aid. The movie was fun but many inconsistencies which is OK but people take so much of this as truth and it kind of changes history.
@@lorapiazza5056- Brian May and Roger Taylor were involved with the production and they approved all of the streamlining of the story.
@@Liofa73 yes but that still doesn’t mean everything in the movie was true. It wasn’t.
Watch the "side by side" version of Live Aid. Truly remarkable!
Not only did they have a choreographer, but they also had a movement coach especially for this performance at live aid
There are a few things in the movie that are changed from reality. One of the major things is Freddie already knew Roger and Brian before he joined the band, they were living in the same flat at the time they were students
just a few
This movie and Rami Malek swept the awards this year. Queen and Adam Lambert even opened the Oscar's. They were already touring, but this movie brought a whole new generation of fans to the shows. Queen is as popular as they have ever been thanks to this movie. This past weekend they had a 4 day only screening of the Queen concert in Montreal at Imax theaters. It was like having a front row seat to a Queen show and the closest I would ever get to seeing Freddie perform live. I took my kids and grandkids to age 2 yrs old. They all loved it!
I love Mike Myers playing the record exectutive
My mom was one of the team of bookkeepers for Bill Graham who promoted concerts in the 80’s. He gave her four side stage tickets to Queen at the Oakland Arena in California. When Brian May did a long guitar rift, he walked right up to us, roughly 15 feet away, and jammed on the guitar. Amazing experience. I have seen Queen 4 times. Twice with Freddy, once with Paul Rodgers in Vegas, and I surprised my family on Christmas with four tickets to Queen in San Jose with Adam Lambert.
The day after Live Aid one of the papers was reporting how Queen was the best performance of the show. They said, "Freddie Mercury owned the stage, holding his funny microphone in one hand, and the world in the other"
I remember watching Live Aid as a teenager. We had all of the neighborhood kids over.
I'm a huge fan of Queen and one of my favorite memories was when Billy Squire opened for Queen during the Bite the Dust tour.
Great show at the St. Paul Civic Center in St. Paul, MN.
Who here thinks Jay and Amber would love the movie Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg. It'll take y'all back to the way it was for 80's metal bands and the character Jennifer Anniston plays is amazing! Lot's of 80s music and Sammy Hagar wrote the most popular song on the Soundtrack! Stand up and ............................ No spoilers! Gotta watch the movie.
😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Rockstar is an absolute favorite of mine. I definitely wish somebody would react to it, lol. Then other reactors will give it a watch.
Agreed 100💯@@laurachamberlain6864
GD! I feel old. This is all my youth playing out....
There is a video of a "side by side" of the real Live Aid footage vs the movie footage. It shows how well Rami Malek portrayed Freddie...he really honored him with his performance!
I cried in the theatre, I cry watching it at home and I cry watching Reactions... such an amazing, beautiful film. Losing Freddie and all of that talent was and is still heartbreaking.
Both the American concert performance from Philadelphia (USA for Africa) and Band Aid Live Aid in London Wembly Stadium was aired on MTV and VHI
I saw Queen in concert twice. They were amazing! And I'll never forget watching them in Live Aid. The best!
Queen wasn't made up of band members. It was made up of Brothers. They truly loved each other. They stood by Freddie until the end ❤ They still honor Freddie.
You absolutely positively NEED to watch the Green Day Concert Hyde Park video of the crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody!! I get goosies on my goosies every single time!!
Back in 1977 We are the champions was Released the Portland Trail Blazers won the NBA Championship June 6th, 1977, They were THE WORLD CHAMPIONS But the LP was released later in the year Of 1977 SO the City of Portland Oregon did not get to celebrate to we are the champion's BUNMMER.
Queen was not even on the roster for Live aid & they were a last minute add on. The performances are on UA-cam & are amazing. The band is still performing with Adam Lambert in Freddie's place & I was shocked to see how well he fills those shoes. The movie about Elton John 'Rocketman' is made a lot like this one & is another fabulous way to get a history lesson.
You need to watch all 28 minutes of their Live Aid. I still recall watching it on TV back in the day. Got to watch by telling my Dad Queen was playing and we watched it together as I recorded it. Wore that VHS tape out rewatching the concerts and most Queen over and over.
When I saw it in the film was just as amazing and rewatch that performance of Live Aid now every year on Freddy B Day as a way to honor him.
Rami did a FANTASTIC job as did all the Queen actors. Rami was channeling Freddy for sure!
Another event to watch is artist honoring Freddy after his death. Some amazing tales in classic Queen songs.
When they walked off the stage, Elton John jokingly said, "you bastards, how am I going to preform after that?"
@@djlp2212 That was Bowie. Elton declared that they "stole the show!".
@@ellet6560 I knew one of them did.
They actually duplicated the ENTIRE set from Live Aid for this move, even if not all of it was used. There are videos of both versions side by side.
Rami looks a little like Freddie, but the real trick is he nailed the mannerisms and the persona so brilliantly that you forget he isn’t Freddie. Like when Tom Hanks played Mr. Rogers. A great performance overcomes a lot.
The thing is the other three guys in the band are perfectly cast too. The guy playing Brian May is particularly eerie, he’s Brian’s perfect doppelgänger!
Rami Malik absolutely rocked this performance as Freddie.
You will love their live aid performance. The movie version did an amazing job replicating it. In fact, watching them side by side is perfection
This movie did a Great job Showing the Greatness of the 70s Most of their biggest hits are from the 70s
Awesome reaction.
Since Rob is a huge KISS fan also,
Eric Carr Kiss drummer at the time , passed away on the same date as Freddy, to cancer Nov.24,1991
Eric's death was over looked by the media.
One of the coolest things that I can never forget is the lead guitarist Brian May went on to get a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College in London in 2007! He'd interrupted his studies to play with the band.
It takes a legend to have a biographical film 30 years after your death making close to a billion dollars
*"These Are the Days of Our Lives"* is the song and video that I can not watch or listen to without total tears. It was one of Queen's last releases before Freddie passed.
It’s difficult, but Freddie fans need to see it.
It’s heartbreaking! You can see how frail Freddie is.
A film I really recommend is the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line, Joaquin Phoenix and Reece Witherspoon are amazing in it as Johnny and June
I'm a Boomer who followed Freddie Mercury's journey over the years in real time. So when my sister and I went to see this movie, we cried out of nostalgia whereas younger people approached this as a cool new phenomenon.
48:40 the audience members visible in this move were people who originally went to the live aid concert. They were tracked down and invited to the shoot. One of them, who originally went with his father to his first ever concert, took his son as his father was no longer with them. It turned out this was his son’s first concert. I think that just epitomises how Queen touched the hearts of everyone who heard their music
Good music like Walk The LINE - Johnny Cash , Rock Star - Steelheart , Coal MIner's Daughter-Loretta LYnn and Patsy Cline.
Yes it was an incredible movie and one of the greatest bands in all of human history. Another FANTASTIC film is rocket man (the elton John story) you will love it to death! Love you guys!❤
Queen at Wembley '86 was really their other shining moment, their second coming after Live Aid.
It was so great being alive during this time. Miss those days.
Sure was I was born in 1960. The 70s were fantastic The Eagles Led Zeppelin Fouriner, Stix. Kiss. Van Halen. Reo Speed Wagon, The Sweet. Bad Company .Acdc April wine, Fog Hat, The Clash. Bruce Spring Steen, Elton john. Elvis Presley. Michael Jackson. The B52s,
Mike Myers in this movie reminds me so much of Jeff Lynne 😂 his overall look and voice is so spot on
I thought that too. 👍
They did such a great job casting the guys who look and play so much like the original band. This is one of my favorite biographical stories as a movie.
They really did! Gwilym Lee (Brian) REALLY looked like him once he got the wig on!
Bohemiam Rhapsody and Rocketman are iconic movies.
I have watched this movie so many times. I have always loved the band. Music speaks to our hearts !!❤️
Rami Malek won the Oscar for playing Freddie Mercury in this movie. This movie plays fast and loose with the facts but it's still a great movie and insight to Queen.
He should never of won but done a Stella job
All four actors looked exactly like the artists they were playing. In fact, Brian May adjusted the wig to make sure it was 100% right.
@@mcm0324 I actually thought that he was Brian's grandson, he looks so much like him.
The movie, “The Doors,” is must see. Val Kilmer (Doc Holiday) plays Jim Morrison flawlessly.
No, the movie makes a mockery out of Jim Morrison, it's awful
It was said about that last concert, that not everyone who came, was a Queen fan. But everyone who left was.
Queen did a tribute concert in 1992 at Wembley and with all the most famous bands of the day turning up. Its on youtube. They needed over 30 starts to sing to cover the vocal range.
Someone has probably already said it already, but you’ve got to watch the UA-cam video of the side by side comparison of his real life performance vs the movie version of their Live Aid show. It’s so spot on.
Despite the historical inaccuracies, this was AMAZING!!!!!
One day 20 years ago, in the kennel room of the veterinary hospital I worked at, there was four of us doing treatments on animals and this song came on the radio; it *turned into a spontaneous sing-along. It was awesome. 😄
Not sure if you know this but the singer that performed the studio parts where Freddie could not have is Marc martel. Definitely check out his bohemian rhapsody cover, it's just him and a piano, as close as you could get to Freddy. Amazing
I absolutely love that you guys got to this one. Rami Malek’s portrayal of Freddie was an incredible performance. Live Aid ‘85 concert is out of this world.
This movie came out exactly 40 years after I saw Queen in concert, on the exact date! So naturally I had to go and see the movie because it was like an anniversary for me. I'm glad you two got to know what the band was like through this movie.
Ever since I was 4 years old and heard that bass line in Another One Bites the Dust pounding out of huge speakers that shook the floor, I have loved Queen and Freddie Mercury. So glad you guys learned more about this awesome band and the amazing talent in Freddie. If you want to check out a performer, who I personally feel should be performing with Queen instead of Adam Lambert, look up Marc Martel. He’s the closest thing to Freddie we’ll ever see on earth again. ❤
I worked Live Aid in Philly. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I’ll never forget one minute of it.
The guy that plays the base in the band Joseph mazello also played the boy Timmy in jurassic park. Ty for watching this is saw it in the movie theater years ago rip freddie
Love this movie and glad you did, too!! May I suggest "Rocket Man" which is about Elton John. Although there may be many inaccuracies in the stories, I believe they do give a true representation of the artists.
Ah thank you as a Queen fan for over 50 years you really must watch the Live Aid concert the country seemed to come to a standstill watching Queen Freddie will be missed forever thank you for your reaction take care x x
I always say when it comes to these golden ages of Rock N Roll, for a band to form and become great, no youtube auditions, no tik toks just adds in the paper or maybe chance meetings, those fortuitous moments to forge the greats who have immortalized themselves, I just say, MAGIC. WHOLE LOTTA MAGIC. That's what it took. MAGIC.
