Thank you. This is one of my favorite song. Please react to the official video. The video features the band performing the song in front of fan club members. During the show, Freddie "high fives" audience members, and at the end cuts the mic and sings along with them, letting them lead. Because of this, this performance was nicknamed "Queen's Greatest Show Never Performed".
In the music video, which is sometimes called the best concert that never happened, all the people who watching the band perform on stage, were paid with a T-shirt that said 'A Friend of Queen' on it.
I always thought this song was a bit foretelling. Years later after the band knew about Freddie's disease, they protected him from all prying eyes as best they could. They out and out lied about him to the press, claiming he was perfectly healthy and wasn't sick (Roger once told an interviewer that he just saw Freddie at the gym that morning and he looked great). Freddie just wanted to make music as long as possible so John, Brian, and Roger went to their Montreaux studio everyday, waiting to see if Freddie felt strong enough that day to work because that's what he needed. The music and their support helped Freddie live longer than his doctors expected. They stay with Freddie in Switzerland until he knew he could go on no more and flew back to London to die in his beloved home, the Garden Lodge. Brian, Roger, John, and Freddie were friends right to the end.
I don't use the word "friend" lightly, tbh. I get along with people just fine after the first moment of shyness, but friendship is something else. I love to think that John and Freddie wrote this song together.
They did a short version live at Wembley that was great. Brian said fans always know We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions are always the last 2 songs of a concert so they wanted to surprise them and slip Friends Will Be Friends in between the two. It was amazing!
Freddie and Deacy wrote this together not knowing Freddie’s future! The band were “there till the very end” with Freddie! Along with the real friends Mary, Peter Freestone and a few others. Friends “who you can trust till the end” are usually far and few between! Though I do have several. Brian’s guitar solo 🎸 is so beautiful mixing with Roger and Deacy! And no one can ever top Freddie’s vocals! Thanks Hap, for your great reaction, but I had to giggle at first thinking about you saying it sounded like a love song, friends with benefits? One of the live versions Freddie actually is on a low stage out in the audience having a good time with them! Yes, I’ve had the taker friends but finally realized it and got out. Real friends share love and respect to me!
Saw them in concert at Wembley 1986 on the Magic tour. The charisma of Freddie Mercury was absolutely amazing. Warm up acts were INXS and Status Quo. Me and girlfriend brought a wine box and two tea mugs. Best concert I ever went to, the atmosphere was incredible. We bought that album from a guy outside afterwards.
You can tell the age of this song, Freddie mentions phone cards. The extended version of this is called "Freinds will be freinds will be friends", the video is another fanclub extravaganza. I Love this song
And you thought this was Friends will be Friends with Benefits! Hilarious!! Great reaction!! Very deep reaction actually. We all have those friends you have to let go. But in the long run, you have your BFF's forever!! ❤️❤️❤️
almost ... hehe! Thank you for the comment. Anything involving friends is always a matter of deepness. Letting go, and accepting are lessons life will teach us I suppose.
Love this song. The official video is great. It has the band playing to the Queen Fan Club and Freddie having a singalong with them at the end. I like how they put it in between We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions on the Magic tour. Very creative. The lyric seems to be about a breakup and he/she has good friends they can rely on to get them through it. The band always rallied around each other during tough times, especially after Freddie got sick. Roger's Old Friends is a loving tribute to their friendship.
"When you're through with life / And all hope is lost / Hold out your hands / 'Cause friends will be friends / Right till the end" Just beautiful and so powerful 💖💖💖 Freddie and John wrote such an amazing song...it can warm our cold hearts... Way to go, boys 👌🎶🙏🥰🧡
I love the video for this song ... so much fun, and where they had members of the Queen fan club as the audience (like they did with the We Are The Champions video).
One of the Queen songs that brings back special memories. Check out the official video which had a lot of fans in it invited via the fan club. Freddie was having great fun with the audience after the official filming had finished that he insisted some of the scenes made it into the final video
Great reaction HAP. These guys were born to be in a band together. This is a great song and it shows how much these guys loved each other. They are FAMILY. Thats ok you go ahead and enjoy it. There are so many more songs for you to enjoy that you havent heard yet. The official video has the band in a studio in front of a live audience and the crowd gets involved singing with the band. The live version of this song is amazing to watch too because it was at the Wembley concert July 12th 1986 and ofcourse FREDDIE has the crowd singing along too. I hope you are my friend HAP. I call you my brother because you love QUEEN just like I do. Loved the way you took this song of frienship. Take care of yourself my brother. Love ya. Your girl QUEEN BEE.
ON ANOTHER NOTE, THAT IS THE RISK WE TAKE WHEN WE LET PEOPLE INTO OUR LIVES. WE NEVER KNOW WHICH DIRECTION IT WILL GO. IF THE FRIENDSHIP WILL FLURISH OR FAIL. TIME WILL TELL IF IT IS WORTHWHILE.
Adina, you did the right thing, staying up to hear this. I don't remember hearing this song. It's a fantastic one! Those lyrics are so true. Not only was the song great but KP's reaction and the thoughts he provoked in me hit home. He really made me think!! I "had" a friend that was all take, take, take. One remark he made was the straw on that broke camel's back. That is in the past and it's best for it to stay there. KP also made me think what a real friend is and how many true friends I have. I am blessed to have several. Sadly to say, I have a real friend and, somehow, we no longer stay in touch. We moved to different states and our everyday lives pulled us in different directions. This is not a therapy session!! Or is it? 😎 Thanks again, Adina, for requesting the song. Thanks, KinPin, for your valuable insight. I am not surprised with that. ✌
Although Freddie and John wrote this song together, many of John's songs were about friendship and love....One year of love, You're my best friend, In only 7 days, You and I, My life has been saved, Need your loving. That was the kind of guy John was but every now and then he would come out with a surprise totally out of character.
It’s a song I very much love and cherish, glad it made through on the voting. The meaning of real friendship will be and is getting clearer as we age and gain experiences in our social life. It’s actually the meaning of life. Some people are lucky enough to have them but it also depends on ourselves- how capable of loving giving and how respectful we are.
Friends will be friends right till the end,may we all honor those words in these times,great song,great vocals,its Freddie,hope for christmastime you do Thank God its Christmas and a Winters Tale,love your channel sweetie,happy weekend everybody!
Great reaction Hap , thank you . One of my favorite song , beautiful . It makes me emotional everytime. You should react to the video 🙂 Have a great day .
So .......it’s sunday morning...... just got up..... coffee and a bit of Queen with HAP3 ....... and you hit me with deep philosophical stuff 😂😂😂😂 me take on life is that...... given one free will in a path that is already mapped out..... whatever road you choose to walk you will ultimately end up in the place you are meant to be ......🙏🙏....... love the track by the way 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
Love Queen. This was played at Freddie’s funeral after an Aretha Franklin hymn and his opera bestie Monserrat Caballe sang Freddie’s favorite Verdi opera. 😢
You have rigth Hap, Its like he swep his voice and arms around you.....wow, yeah Freddie and Deacy mmm smooth. Thanks Dear.....lovley HAP 💕 the lyric is soo moving me 😢 💕 Ohh for me friendship has always be a big problem, very dificult! Now my old x is my best friend I ever have had, now we love each outher like friends, not like lovers. He is the only friend I have......and he is the only human I car about!!
I love your Queen reactions, and I know you're waiting to react to Wembley1986 concerts, so, I really hope you will react to the WHOLE concert. You will really really love it...promise you!!!!
hello good noon to all I love this song and enjoyed your reaction i agree what ever you analized the song and its great song thank you all and God bless🙏🙏🙏
A friend will stand beside you and make you feel better about yourself ,even though you both know you've made a bad decision, but just that kindness might inspire you to forgive yourself and move on knowing that friend will always be a part of the ☯️
ha!!!.....you‘ve talked about „give and take“. as we all know queen‘s got a song for every situation and so it is here. the song is.......“let me live“. you will be astonished how well that song fits to all you‘ve discussed right after „friends will be friends“.😊
Who needs you, keep passing the open windows, the night comes down, if you can’t beat them, sail away sweet sister, let me entertain you, jealousy, life is real, is this the world we created pleaseee....Im sorry for asking to react many Queen Songs 😀🙏... Thank You 🙏🙏🙏
When played live, most concerts of this song were played short, however, at Leiden the song was played the full length as you hear on the single, which is quite rare. You can hear this rare version here at ua-cam.com/video/Pe3Il-YKeAo/v-deo.html
Hi hap as usual great reaction love love this song have a request if you get a chance please react to kashoggis ship and my baby does me two great songs from the miracle album they are brilliant and I know you would enjoy them .

I saw them 9th august 86 in their last performance with Freddie at Knebworth
@@andreamack7867 Just in time were`nt we, although little did we know at the time.
You're right regarding friends. For Freddie and the other three, they were really truely bonded friends until the very end, musically and personally.
You can tell the age of this song, Freddie mentions phone cards. The extended version of this is called "Freinds will be freinds will be friends", the video is another fanclub extravaganza. I Love this song

Check out FRIENDS WILL BE FRIENDS live at Wembley 1986. Queen performs it towards the end of the concert. Deacy never looked happier!! 😁💕😁💕
GREAT SONG CHOICE! THE VIDEO IS AWESOME, THINK YOU WOULD REALLY LIKE IT TOO! FREDDIE LITERALLY GETS INTO THE CROWD. GREAT REACTION HAP3! 🐈⬛🎃👻🥰

The band always rallied around each other during tough times, especially after Freddie got sick. Roger's Old Friends is a loving tribute to their friendship.
And Freddie said his only true Freind in life was Mary who he could trust without doubt.
I love /love the original video to this.... Every one having a good time.
Its a very good song that lifts you up.
"When you're through with life
/ And all hope is lost / Hold out your hands / 'Cause friends will be friends / Right till the end"
Just beautiful and so powerful 💖💖💖
Freddie and John wrote such an amazing song...it can warm our cold hearts...
