@@edwardbrady1552 Crazy Little Thing Called Love On the Billboard Hot 100 for February 23, 1980, Queen could call themselves a No. 1 band in America for the first time. “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” which had been thwarted in its efforts to top the UK bestsellers late the year before, seized the American singles crown, and wore it for a full month.
First released as the closing instrumental on Queen's eponymous 1973 debut, the final version of “Seven Seas of Rhye” reappeared on Queen II in 1974. When released, the song peaked at No. 10 on the UK Singles chart and gave Queen their first hit.
Fun fact: Freddie loved cats and at the time of his death he had 6 cats. Roger and Freddie had an art and clothing stall in Kensington market for a couple of years which is probably where the fur coat came from. The Killer Queen that Freddie is writing about is a high class call girl. This was the first Queen song I ever heard and is still one of my favourites. Brian wrote the beautiful harmonies. I love everything about it. Thanks for reacting to it!❤
Fun fact: Freddie's original handwritten lyrics of this track sold for £279,400 and that fur coat he's wearing sold for £76,200 at the recent Freddie auction at Sotheby's.
I feel two ways about the sale / auction of Freddie's most beloved and personal items, nevertheless, Freddie loved and trusted Mary and therefore, I trust her. I believe Mary thought long and hard before deciding to have things auctioned off. In the end we are the winners because Freddie gave us his amazing, unstoppable voice and music to cherish forever and that is the greatest gift of all.
I watched every minute of that auction. It was a blast! I think I enjoyed the auctioneer the most. He was like a kid at Christmas, selling off his own toys.
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
They are all extremely talented. Fun fact, Brian May is not only one of the best guitar players in the world, but he also has a PhD in Astrophysics and has worked on several projects with NASA.
Thank you for another fantastic Queen reaction. You are one of the best reactors on UA-cam and one of the most beautiful ❤ Queen's music is so diverse,one of the saddest songs is These Are The Days Of Our Lives as it was Freddie appearing in his last ever video.A sad reflective song but one of their best,Freddie severely ill at this point but still singing beautifully despite his health.His last line in the song still gives me a lump in my throat,you need to check it out gorgeous lady x
Their first radio hit in the US and the first thing from them most of my buds and I ever heard. Great memory. And I agree -- their harmonies are one of a kind.
@@dimitrasotirakoglou2553 Freddie did *not* do all the harmonies alone in this song, nor in most of them. Brian’s and Roger’s harmonies were intrinsic to the success of Queen. For example, while it IS true that Freddie’s voice alone was all the harmonics in the *starting measures* of “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the so-called *Operatic Section* of the song was Freddie, Brian and Roger together (layered so many times they almost ruined the tape!). The only other time I know for sure is all-Freddie is the studio recording of “You Take My Breath Away”. Other than that, every harmony section I know of with Queen involved Roger, or Brian, or both of them. Freddie even said in an interview once that the guys were absolutely instrumental in creating “the delicate little harmonies in my songs”
A BEAUTIFUL reaction to Queen's killer Queen sung BEAUTIFULLY by Freddie himself and the rest of the band WOW. Stacey I'm looking forward to your next reaction video ❤😊👍
THANK you to the people who liked my comment to Stacey's reaction to Queen's Queens killer Queen. THANK you to whoever liked my reaction to those who liked my comment. 👍
Your videos deal with emotional reaction, you don't have to be musically savvy. I enjoy your reactions especially with the music I've grown up on. You have a knack for mirroring what I get out of the music. Thank you for being you
This song was their first Top 40 hit in the US, in 1974. A year later, "Bohemian Rhapsody" came out and the rest is history. Also, the great thing about Queen is that all 4 of them wrote number 1 hits, not just Freddie Mercury, even bassplayer John Deacon, the quiet guy, wrote some of the biggest hits like "Another One Bites the Dust", "You’re My Best Friend" and "I Want to Break Free".
1980 John AOBTD US 3 different charts 3 other countries 1981 Under pressure with Bowie Brian 1980 Flash Austria 1982 Brian Las Palabras Poland 1984 Roger Ga Ga 8 European countries (Uk no 2) 1984 John WTB Free 4 European and SA 1984 Roger K of M Argentina ( Freddies tinkered version) 1991 Innuendo uk and Portugal Roger and Freddie ( 1991 Roger Days of Our lives with Bo Rap Ireland and Uk not independently) 1995 Roger Heaven for Everyone Hungary Brian we will rock you 2000 cover five? Uk With Queen Only Freddie had no 1 uk and US John no 1 US
Also worth noting is that “Another one bites their dust” was their most successful hit and is probably the song which best demonstrates the band’s range into other genres. Michael Jackson had surprisingly been the one who went to Freddie Mercury and convinced him to release it as a single.
As an addendum to this, it's worth mentioning that Brian May wrote "All dead, all dead" as an expression of the sadness he felt when his beloved cat passed away. I strongly recommend it but with a warning - it might evoke the feelings you had when your dear furling wandered over the rainbow bridge.
Top Of The Pops was a very popular British musical televison show between the 60s and the early 2000s, but all performances were playback. If you listen to it attentively once again, you will notice, that Freddie was harmoninsing with himself. Roger said: “Killer Queen always felt a bit special. It was very sophisticated and it was very Freddie! It had a slightly Noël Coward…element in it.”
I love seeing people react to early Queen. It takes me way way back to my teenage years 🙃 and I've never gotten tired of listening to this band because no one else sounded like Queen did. No 2 Queen songs sounded alike but so many became recognizable in just the first few notes. 4 incredible musicians 👑
Your reactions to all these rock songs are nice and meaningful. I admire your beautiful smile and movements at times you are listening to them. Thank you.
Not sure if you knew, but if you use anything from _Queen Official Channel_ , you don't need to worry about copyright stuff or blocking or putting an overlay on the video. Queen (at the moment until Sony takes over perhaps, not sure yet) - Roger and Brian - love for people to share their music and videos. Brian and Roger have both talked about how they _hated_ doing _Top of the Pops_ , including this song. Live is amazing... _Montreal '86_ has a "Killer Queen"/"I'm in Love With My Car" medly and it's way fun... and hearing Roger sing like crazy while banging on drums beautifully is just a whole pleasure on its own. (Roger is pleasure incarnate.) One more teensy thing. It isn't uncommon for "Killer Queen" to be thought of as an homage to cocaine. It was THE drug of the 70s and early 80s and they partook... um... _often_ . We all intepret our own way though, right?
Thank you Stacey, for another great reaction to this wonderful band!! You said that you are never sure what to expect from Queen as their sound and songs are so diverse (I'm paraphrasing). Trust me - you have NO idea!!! I am sure you have many suggestions before you to get to, but one day, ONE DAY, you must react to "White Queen" at the Odeon Hammersmith!! Cheers!!
I am always amazed at people who say "that song is too long" or "that movie is three hours long!" We live in a time of short attention spans, and we have been conditioned to that. A song should be as long as it takes to tell the story, and the same for a movie. I'm insulted when a theatrical release of a masterpiece like "Lord of the Rings" is cut down for an ignorant audience, then we see an extended version, or "director's cut," where it enhances the story greatly. A great song always ends too soon, and I'm so glad you understand that. Stacy, if you want to hear, maybe, the only song on the level of Bohemian Rhapsody ... try "The Prophet's Song" from A Night At the Opera. There is not a good representation of it live, but it's almost unknown, except to true Queen fans, but it's Brian's magnum opus. Brilliant beyond reason with a great backstory. It an equal to BoRhap.
If you really want a Queen adventure, check out the album "Queen II." In particular, check out the second side of the record. It highlights Freddie Mercury's genius as a composer. I don't hear people talk about this record that much but I think that it's the most daring work they ever did.
What an album that is - "White Queen (As It Began"), "Ogre Battle", "Nevermore", "The March of the Black Queen" and "Seven Seas of Rhye" are all solid bangers. :)
Some other great Queen tracks, some not so well known- Seven Seas of Rhye, Long Away, Let us Cling Together, Under Pressure with David Bowie, You Take my Breath Away, '39, The Prophets Song, Seaside Rendezvous, Death on Two Legs..
If you love this, you will also love Seaside Rendezvous and Lazing on a Sunday afternoon from their A Night at the Opera Album..😉Just listen to the whole album, you will love it, trust me..
Good old fashioned lover boy live top of the pops 1977! One of their underrated gems but one of their best songs and a fave of mine! The lyrics the melody and harmonising are awesome! 👍👌💯🔥😎
A few of us used to meet up at a friends house and listen to Queen and Slade as they came out with their latest songs ( their parents let us ). Then we would go to school in a GREAT mood.... HAPPY TIMES
Ok. If you want to have fun listening to Queen check out extended version of “One Vision”. They are goofing around & having so much fun while making an amazing song! It’s well worth the watch seeing how you enjoy Freddie’s humor, voice & showmanship. Actually one of my favorites.
Freddie would call on the telephone to talk to his fur babies while touring, and that is the sweetest thing to do. Freddie was a true gentleman with a magnificent sense of humor. 👑🌈💙🕊
Stacey: "This song is too short". I felt the same way. Also felt the same way about Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" and "Lily of the Valley"; Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" and "Living, Loving Maid"; Pink Floyd's "Young Lust"; The Beatles "Her Majesty" and "Rock and Roll Music"; Black Sabbath's "Paranoid"; ZZ Top's "Tush"; Ten Years After "Choo Choo Mama"; The Guess Who's "Rain Dance" and "Albert Flasher"; and Linda Ronstadt's "Back in the USA".
This is the song I fell for Queen in 1977, I was 12 then. Everything in this track is more than perfect, the album, Sheer Heart Attack is incredible. Queen is the greatest chemistry on this planet. Thank you for the great reaction. ❤
Freddie always said it was about a high-class call girl, but there have been at least a couple of Freddie's "acquaintances" in the 70s who claimed it was about them. I'm going with Freddie's explanation.
Queen is the soundtrack of my childhood before i knew i liked music (queen and blues brothers) This is my favourite queen song of all time, dynamite with a laser beam amused childhood me to no end, thankfully i found terry pratchett for more similar entertainment.
Great video. I love your reactions. Please do 'Love of my Life' from Wembley Stadium 1986. After you comment about the crowed interaction for the live-aid show, then you will love this. More, more Queen please ❤
If you want to see Queen in drag, watch the video of "I want to break free" Hillarious! One of my favorite Queen songs is a little known Jazzy piece called "Don't try Suicide" from the album "The Game". Loved that entire album and especially "Don't try Suicide". There are no official music videos of this song, but the official Queen channel simply puts up the lyrics to the song.
i think the sound effect when he sings lazer beam is called "flange". if you play the same song on two turntables at exactly the same it creates this sound effect
I remember Queen bursting onto the scene with this when I was still at school. I was into heavy rock at that time, and I wasn’t sure what to make of this; I didn’t even now what “Queen” meant back then, and just assumed he was singing about a sassy woman!
This is the studio version, not live. This was one of the first singles I bought (although not my first by Queen, that was Seven Seas of Rhye months earlier). Over their career Queen have covered all sorts of styles. Their first few albums were more rock/metal in style but by A Night at the Opera they introduced all sorts of unexpected styles (this was the album with Bohemian Rhapsody, although this is not the best song on the album)
With adding pop and fun lyrics to their heavy progressive rock of their early days they landed their first big hit. Also the album Sheer Heart Attack was a breakthrough for them as it was much more diverse as their previous works.
Love your reactions Stacey. I can see you like a good frontman and Freddie was the best. Check out Billy Idol, Rebel Yell music Video. Another great frontman with charisma and an edge to his performances. Rebel Yell was one of the most played videos on MTV back in the 80's
You should def check out Rock In Rio Blues 1985. A live improv Queen did for the 250 thousand people that attended, the Rock in Rio concert. Its mesmerizing. I think you would love it.
I remember when this first came out and what an odd mix it was of vintage muted sounds, acappella singing and almost a Gilbert and Sullivan style of story telling. Seems like it could be a vintage record played on an old hand cranked Victrola record player.
Only joined your channel yesterday. Fair to say Stacey you have an excellent taste in music. Keep up the good work. So many great songs from yesteryear.
Harmonies were all Freddie. The band contributed live, but what you hear on the studio recording is Freddie overdubs with occasional contributions from Roger (if it goes really high)
Stacey thanks for queen reactions. Here some suggestions: "Who wants to live forever" live wembley concert or official video is good too "Save me" live Montreal concert "Don't stop me now" official video "Love of my life" live wembley concert "A kind of magic" both wembley concert and official video are cool "Under pressure" "The millionaire waltz" legendary song like bohemian rhapsody "Made in heaven" official video "White queen" live in Hammersmith "Take my breath away" emotional song by Freddie Mercury
50 years of Killer Que 5:37 en , wow sometimes it's hard to believe how time is flying , it's so great to see and remember how everything started for these young talented guys , Freddie , John , Brian and Roger looks so so amazing in their younger days , one of the best rock band ever ❤ , would be great to see more songs of younger days by Queen in your amazing channel , there's another song i like very much from the beggining of Queen , it's called Liar ❤ you will enjoy it ❤
The album, Sheer Heart Attack from which Killer Queen is from is my favorite Queen record! Though I sometimes prefer their 1973 debut album as my favorite. The other tunes from this legendary 1974 album are "Brighton Rock", a great hard rock tune! And "Bring Back That Leroy Brown". This is Queen's sequel song to Jim Croce's 1973 hit song, "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown". And then there is "Stone Cold Crazy" which is considered to be the very first speed metal song. Other tunes like "Tenement Funster" is a Roger Taylor rocker. "Flick of the Wrist" is another Queen rocker followed by "Lily of the Valley", a short relaxing piano piece. And "Misfire" which is a John Deacon original. And also, "Now I'm Here", another Queen rocker! "Killer Queen" like many of Queen's songs show off their talented vocal harmonies. What I like best about Queen is the variety of musical genres they explore and use. They are not just another glam rock band. They are my no.2 most favorite band after The Beatles. While Led Zeppelin is technically superior to Queen, I tend to enjoy more Queen songs than LZ songs. Maybe its Queen's harmonies? Because LZ does not do vocal group harmonies. And LZ is too focused on Blues rock, where as I prefer more upbeat tunes like Killer Queen, Keep Yourself Alive, Don't Stop Me Now, Great King Rat, Dead On Time, Tie Your Mother Down, etc.
This has always been a favorite of mine. It's maybe my all-time favorite song. Bohemian Rhapsody gave it a run for its money but I'm going with Killer Queen.
These songs "seem short" because they are segments of an album meant to be played non-stop. These classic rock albums had themes that ran from start to finish. That is why some songs seem to borrow chord progressions from other songs on the same album. The artists are conveying a running concept much like a classic composer would do in the movements of a symphony...
This song deserves one and a thousand awards, more than just that Ivor Novello, or the little British distinctions, it is a perfect song. P.S. I also love Jojo's and Killer Queen is one of my favorite references with Bohemian Rhapsody and Made in Heaven.
Yah, that's MAX VAMP baby :) Sometimes, it's the time to do a serious rock epic like "Achilles Last Stand" or "Roundabout;" but sometimes, it's good to just let go and indulge in one like this or "Lola" by The Kinks, or "Renegade" by Styx, these sort of quick-blaster vocal rock bits for the fun of fun.
"Queen is amazing! Pop and rock wouldn't be the same without them. I grew up with their music and have many memories attached to songs like "Cool Cat" and "Radio Gaga." Of course, there are too many songs that I love and all the well-known hits too. Another long journey of great music and amazing vocals! Make sure to check out "Cool Cat" - most people cannot believe that's Freddie's voice! It was written by John Deacon (the bassist) and Freddie. Cheers!"
Definitely in my top 5 fav Queen songs. So fun, chill, and bouncy. Their harmonies are indeed so clean- but if it's pure harmonious bliss your are after, you need to experience the Bees Gees singing Too Much Heaven. Thanks as always Stacy! ua-cam.com/video/i6iBAuwBODA/v-deo.html
Fast Forward to 1992-3 for The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert @ Wembly Stadium in London(same venue from Live Aid) The Song is I Want it all!! Think you will like it✌🏼❤️ from California
Listening to your reaction........you used the word "perfect" and a "force to be reckoned with" That was Queen......the were totally incredible..........you are right there will NEVER be another "Queen" THE GREATEST band in Rock history !! You, are so amazing......keep up the great work !! ❤❤❤
"Killer Queen" was their first big hit. I like the big beautiful smiles you get on your face when reacting to Queen songs.

On the Billboard Hot 100 for February 23, 1980, Queen could call themselves a No. 1 band in America for the first time. “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” which had been thwarted in its efforts to top the UK bestsellers late the year before, seized the American singles crown, and wore it for a full month.

@@hognaut yes that is one of their greatest classics... One that I like is 39
@@hognaut You're thinking of 'Seven Seas Of Rye'..last song on debut as an instrumental. Revised on Queen II with lyrics... T
@@TerryKrysinski uh, that's what I said🤔
Freddie had such an amazing voice. One of the best voices that there has ever been in rock music.(
Fun fact: Freddie loved cats and at the time of his death he had 6 cats. Roger and Freddie had an art and clothing stall in Kensington market for a couple of years which is probably where the fur coat came from. The Killer Queen that Freddie is writing about is a high class call girl. This was the first Queen song I ever heard and is still one of my favourites. Brian wrote the beautiful harmonies. I love everything about it. Thanks for reacting to it!❤
The song was released smack in the middle of the glam rock era,so Freddie’s fur coat didn’t look out of the ordinary 😉
Brian wrote the solo
Why do you think he wrote the harmonies?
And why would he on Freddie song
I think you'll find that the killer "queen" he's writing/singing about is a high-class transgender male "call girl", and not a woman.
They were friends before he joined the band. Freddie would pick out fab clothes for himself from what they found to sell.
Fun fact: Freddie's original handwritten lyrics of this track sold for £279,400 and that fur coat he's wearing sold for £76,200 at the recent Freddie auction at Sotheby's.
I feel two ways about the sale / auction of Freddie's most beloved and personal items, nevertheless, Freddie loved and trusted Mary and therefore, I trust her. I believe Mary thought long and hard before deciding to have things auctioned off. In the end we are the winners because Freddie gave us his amazing, unstoppable voice and music to cherish forever and that is the greatest gift of all.
I watched every minute of that auction. It was a blast! I think I enjoyed the auctioneer the most. He was like a kid at Christmas, selling off his own toys.
@@deborahallen3318I completely AGREE… I feel quite sorry for Mary being blasted by Freddie’s multitudes of fans, but I think that was unavoidable.
In Christmas, 1974. I got a tape recorder as my main present. This song was my first recording as it played on Radio One. Happy memories.

A half century old. And it still sounds fresh, if not ahead of its time.

The harmonizing of this band these four fantastic artists is mesmerizing
The harmonics are all Freddie.

He even made a song dedicated to his favorite cat named Delilah
As an addendum to this, it's worth mentioning that Brian May wrote "All dead, all dead" as an expression of the sadness he felt when his beloved cat passed away. I strongly recommend it but with a warning - it might evoke the feelings you had when your dear furling wandered over the rainbow bridge.

Roger said: “Killer Queen always felt a bit special. It was very sophisticated and it was very Freddie! It had a slightly Noël Coward…element in it.”
I think what makes this song sound so compelling is that it’s impeccably produced. There’s so much attention to detail in every individual element.

Would he interested to know what pop/rock or any other songs lasted 3 hours.
If you really want a Queen adventure, check out the album "Queen II." In particular, check out the second side of the record. It highlights Freddie Mercury's genius as a composer. I don't hear people talk about this record that much but I think that it's the most daring work they ever did.
What an album that is - "White Queen (As It Began"), "Ogre Battle", "Nevermore", "The March of the Black Queen" and "Seven Seas of Rhye" are all solid bangers. :)
Some other great Queen tracks, some not so well known- Seven Seas of Rhye, Long Away, Let us Cling Together, Under Pressure with David Bowie, You Take my Breath Away, '39, The Prophets Song, Seaside Rendezvous, Death on Two Legs..
you need to react to their song Innuendo! Imho, masterpiece just like Bohemian Rhapsody. Powerful, switches, it's just incredible!
If you love this, you will also love Seaside Rendezvous and Lazing on a Sunday afternoon from their A Night at the Opera Album..😉Just listen to the whole album, you will love it, trust me..
EarlyQueen… The best! Saw them many times live beginning in early 1977. Wish I saw them all the way back in 74!
Good old fashioned lover boy live top of the pops 1977!
One of their underrated gems but one of their best songs and a fave of mine! The lyrics the melody and harmonising are awesome!
👍👌💯🔥😎
A few of us used to meet up at a friends house and listen to Queen and Slade as they came out with their latest songs ( their parents let us ). Then we would go to school in a GREAT mood.... HAPPY TIMES
Ok. If you want to have fun listening to Queen check out extended version of “One Vision”. They are goofing around & having so much fun while making an amazing song! It’s well worth the watch seeing how you enjoy Freddie’s humor, voice & showmanship. Actually one of my favorites.
The voice that reminds a laser beam, never though about that but it makes sense!! You say interesting things, well done
There is a dvd of them live, at the same stadium.. it’s amazing. Love Bigdon…🤘🙏❤️❤️😎
Freddie would call on the telephone to talk to his fur babies while touring, and that is the sweetest thing to do. Freddie was a true gentleman with a magnificent sense of humor. 👑🌈💙🕊
Stacey: "This song is too short". I felt the same way. Also felt the same way about Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" and "Lily of the Valley"; Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" and "Living, Loving Maid"; Pink Floyd's "Young Lust"; The Beatles "Her Majesty" and "Rock and Roll Music"; Black Sabbath's "Paranoid"; ZZ Top's "Tush"; Ten Years After "Choo Choo Mama"; The Guess Who's "Rain Dance" and "Albert Flasher"; and Linda Ronstadt's "Back in the USA".
This is the song I fell for Queen in 1977, I was 12 then. Everything in this track is more than perfect, the album, Sheer Heart Attack is incredible. Queen is the greatest chemistry on this planet. Thank you for the great reaction. ❤
You absolutely HAVE to react to them doing "Save Me" live in Montreal.... you will not be disappointed
Freddie and Roger were such good friends. You should react to Roger's tribute to Freddie after Freddie's death. "Old Friends" (The Official Video)
Loved your reaction …… please continue with more Queen.
Stacey, if you want a "longer" song, listen to "The Prophets Song"... more than eight great Queen minutes. You will LOVE it !!!
I'm In Love With My Car (live Rock Montreal)!!! Under Pressure (live at Wembley)!! Breakthru!! I Want It All!! Headlong!!
Freddie always said it was about a high-class call girl, but there have been at least a couple of Freddie's "acquaintances" in the 70s who claimed it was about them. I'm going with Freddie's explanation.
Yes I saw that to, and yes I go with Freddie's explanation also
That one "acquaintance" who claim it was about them... 😅 doesn't really fit the description. Not. At. All. 😂
Queen is the soundtrack of my childhood before i knew i liked music (queen and blues brothers)
This is my favourite queen song of all time, dynamite with a laser beam amused childhood me to no end, thankfully i found terry pratchett for more similar entertainment.
Great video. I love your reactions.
Please do 'Love of my Life' from Wembley Stadium 1986.
After you comment about the crowed interaction for the live-aid show, then you will love this.
More, more Queen please ❤
If you want to see Queen in drag, watch the video of "I want to break free" Hillarious! One of my favorite Queen songs is a little known Jazzy piece called "Don't try Suicide" from the album "The Game". Loved that entire album and especially "Don't try Suicide". There are no official music videos of this song, but the official Queen channel simply puts up the lyrics to the song.
Please do more Queen reactions. You are so genuine. I've been a Queen fan since 1980 when I was 7
i think the sound effect when he sings lazer beam is called "flange". if you play the same song on two turntables at exactly the same it creates this sound effect
it´s a breath of fresh air. Queen is one of best Bands ever you can identify every song on the first few notes because there are so different.
I remember Queen bursting onto the scene with this when I was still at school. I was into heavy rock at that time, and I wasn’t sure what to make of this; I didn’t even now what “Queen” meant back then, and just assumed he was singing about a sassy woman!
This is the studio version, not live. This was one of the first singles I bought (although not my first by Queen, that was Seven Seas of Rhye months earlier). Over their career Queen have covered all sorts of styles. Their first few albums were more rock/metal in style but by A Night at the Opera they introduced all sorts of unexpected styles (this was the album with Bohemian Rhapsody, although this is not the best song on the album)
He was Killer when he performed but didn't let EGO affect him with the Boys. They were a tight Band
Graphic designer, astrophysicist, dentist and an electrical engineer, couple things in common, greatest band and music creators ever
Stacey you REALLY need to watch the studio version of Somebody to Love. The harmonies will blow you away! So much better than the live version
With adding pop and fun lyrics to their heavy progressive rock of their early days they landed their first big hit. Also the album Sheer Heart Attack was a breakthrough for them as it was much more diverse as their previous works.
Love your reactions Stacey. I can see you like a good frontman and Freddie was the best. Check out Billy Idol, Rebel Yell music Video. Another great frontman with charisma and an edge to his performances. Rebel Yell was one of the most played videos on MTV back in the 80's
Stacey…
I can’t tell you, how HAPPY IT MAKES ME that you’ve also fallen in love with my favorite band and favorite singer.💕
It's just nice to see a studio version from a reactor. Nice high-quality audio
The song is about a high-class call girl and has been characterised as "Mercury's piano-led paean to a Moët-quaffing courtesan".[4][6]
You should def check out Rock In Rio Blues 1985. A live improv Queen did for the 250 thousand people that attended, the Rock in Rio concert. Its mesmerizing. I think you would love it.
Love your reactions to Queen. Love you to checkout The Millionaire Waltz. Another merry little Freddie song
They have many great songs their harmonies are the best.
I want it All
Ride the Wild Wind
Are 2 of my favorites.
Now watch killer queen/I'm in love with my car. Live from Montreal! The switch is unreal!
the lyrics are so nice...they are interesting and fun.
I remember when this first came out and what an odd mix it was of vintage muted sounds, acappella singing and almost a Gilbert and Sullivan style of story telling. Seems like it could be a vintage record played on an old hand cranked Victrola record player.
“It sounds wealthy” is legit perfect!
And yes, I agree-if Freddie isn’t the killer Queen-who is? 😂
You’re still my favorite reactor..so smart! 😊
This is the song that put Queen on the map in the US back in the day!
Kept off number 1 in the UK charts by David Essex....
Elton John said of the song Killer Queen-It’s almost like Freddie was singing to himself,it was beautiful.
Only joined your channel yesterday. Fair to say Stacey you have an excellent taste in music. Keep up the good work. So many great songs from yesteryear.
Welcome to the channel and thank you for supporting ❤️
Have a listen to White Queen (as it began), the live version from The Rainbow. Stunning early live performance.
I agree with your suggestion that this song should go on for 10 more minutes. I've been in love with this song since it came out.
You have to watch bohemian rhapsody…. On the first Waynes world, when there in the car❤🤘🇬🇧😎. Don. Bicester. Oxfordshire. Uk
Harmonies were all Freddie. The band contributed live, but what you hear on the studio recording is Freddie overdubs with occasional contributions from Roger (if it goes really high)
Stacey thanks for queen reactions. Here some suggestions:
"Who wants to live forever" live wembley concert or official video is good too
"Save me" live Montreal concert
"Don't stop me now" official video
"Love of my life" live wembley concert
"A kind of magic" both wembley concert and official video are cool
"Under pressure"
"The millionaire waltz" legendary song like bohemian rhapsody
"Made in heaven" official video
"White queen" live in Hammersmith
"Take my breath away" emotional song by Freddie Mercury
Who wants to live forever. She will be crying
singing eloquence what a performer. try and sing this one in karaoke lol you wont be able to do it. polished
50 years of Killer Que 5:37 en , wow sometimes it's hard to believe how time is flying , it's so great to see and remember how everything started for these young talented guys , Freddie , John , Brian and Roger looks so so amazing in their younger days , one of the best rock band ever ❤ , would be great to see more songs of younger days by Queen in your amazing channel , there's another song i like very much from the beggining of Queen , it's called Liar ❤ you will enjoy it ❤
The album, Sheer Heart Attack from which Killer Queen is from is my favorite Queen record! Though I sometimes prefer their 1973 debut album as my favorite. The other tunes from this legendary 1974 album are "Brighton Rock", a great hard rock tune! And "Bring Back That Leroy Brown". This is Queen's sequel song to Jim Croce's 1973 hit song, "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown". And then there is "Stone Cold Crazy" which is considered to be the very first speed metal song. Other tunes like "Tenement Funster" is a Roger Taylor rocker. "Flick of the Wrist" is another Queen rocker followed by "Lily of the Valley", a short relaxing piano piece. And "Misfire" which is a John Deacon original. And also, "Now I'm Here", another Queen rocker! "Killer Queen" like many of Queen's songs show off their talented vocal harmonies. What I like best about Queen is the variety of musical genres they explore and use. They are not just another glam rock band. They are my no.2 most favorite band after The Beatles. While Led Zeppelin is technically superior to Queen, I tend to enjoy more Queen songs than LZ songs. Maybe its Queen's harmonies? Because LZ does not do vocal group harmonies. And LZ is too focused on Blues rock, where as I prefer more upbeat tunes like Killer Queen, Keep Yourself Alive, Don't Stop Me Now, Great King Rat, Dead On Time, Tie Your Mother Down, etc.
This has always been a favorite of mine. It's maybe my all-time favorite song. Bohemian Rhapsody gave it a run for its money but I'm going with Killer Queen.
These songs "seem short" because they are segments of an album meant to be played non-stop. These classic rock albums had themes that ran from start to finish. That is why some songs seem to borrow chord progressions from other songs on the same album. The artists are conveying a running concept much like a classic composer would do in the movements of a symphony...
In my opinion one of the best songs from Queen... if not the best. Love your reactions! Good luck to you, Stacey! :)
This song deserves one and a thousand awards, more than just that Ivor Novello, or the little British distinctions, it is a perfect song.
P.S. I also love Jojo's and Killer Queen is one of my favorite references with Bohemian Rhapsody and Made in Heaven.
Try their song Brighton Rock it's definitely a very unique song that starts very weird but turns very heavy once Brian Mays guitar takes over.
Yah, that's MAX VAMP baby :)
Sometimes, it's the time to do a serious rock epic like "Achilles Last Stand" or "Roundabout;" but sometimes, it's good to just let go and indulge in one like this or "Lola" by The Kinks, or "Renegade" by Styx, these sort of quick-blaster vocal rock bits for the fun of fun.
"Queen is amazing! Pop and rock wouldn't be the same without them. I grew up with their music and have many memories attached to songs like "Cool Cat" and "Radio Gaga." Of course, there are too many songs that I love and all the well-known hits too. Another long journey of great music and amazing vocals! Make sure to check out "Cool Cat" - most people cannot believe that's Freddie's voice! It was written by John Deacon (the bassist) and Freddie. Cheers!"
Definitely in my top 5 fav Queen songs. So fun, chill, and bouncy. Their harmonies are indeed so clean- but if it's pure harmonious bliss your are after, you need to experience the Bees Gees singing Too Much Heaven. Thanks as always Stacy! ua-cam.com/video/i6iBAuwBODA/v-deo.html
