You get it! We older ppl are fortunate to have grown up listening to these guys...and, for me, it's almost worth that extra agedness. I'm happy you've joined our ranks.
Let me introduce you the Queen: Freddie Mercury the lead singer and pianist, Brian May the guitarist, John Deacon the bassist and Roger Taylor the drummer, they all were highly graduated, Freddie was graphic designer, Brian is an astrophysicist, John is an electronic engineer and Roger a biologist and of course they were great musicians. Queen is the most versatile rock band, they wrote their own stuff in several genres from rock to jazz, to pop, etc. cca. 200 songs. Freddie never took singing lessons, but he could sing all genres effortless and his powerful and emotional performances are still legendary. Freddie was a huge fan of Aretha Franklin who was the queen of soul music and he wrote this song as a tribute to Aretha. Pls, check out another tribute song that Freddie wrote after Elvis Presley died, Crazy Little Thing Called Love at Wembley 86. (In terms of Queen using headphones or earpods are highly recommended.)
There's not much to say here that everyone hasn't already said about Queen. They were the best band to ever perform and Freddie Mercury was the best rock front man to ever grace a stage. His live performances were next level greatness. If you really want to see Freddie controlling an audience you should react to "Love Of My Life" live from Rio in 1985 or the same song live from Wembley in 86. Great reactions!
Freddie Mercury is considered the best frontman in all of rock history. Queen’s performance at Live Aid 1985 was a show stopper. It lasts 20 minutes but is well worth it.
Weren't they wonderful? I celebrated my 24th B-Day at this concert. We drove over 5000 miles return, from Alberta to Quebec to see them. One of the best memories of my life, to be sure! Sadly, Freddie also passed on my B-Day 10 years later. I light a candle for him every year, (This year was no different. Last week was 41 years ago) and play their song Who Wants To Live Forever. Great reaction to watch from you! Thanks!
Queen is the greatest band ever Freddie Mercury the greatest frontman of all time, with the best voice. There is and never will be anyone like Freddie...Unmatched.. LEGENDS
Great reaction . You will definitely need to watch Queen's 20 minute performance at Live Aid. It's iconic and often regarded as the best live performance ever.
They were/are the greatest band and Freddie is truly amazing. Even though he passed away in 1991, he still remains the best frontman of all time. He can sing his butt off; and the crowd control you should watch Under Pressure live at Wembley (the 5:56 minute version). That man is seriously amazing. May I also recommend Live Aid '85. Great performance. The whole band is amazing -- they are all gifted. Plus, there was no auto-tune back in the day. All pure talent. Again thanks for the reaction.
Great reaction! Roger Taylor is the drummer and also has an amazing voice. Definitely check out the video with the studio version to see the difference
I kinda envy you because Queen is so new to you! Enjoy the ride; you’re off to a great start! Queen (and Freddie RIP) always were and will always be timeless, IMO. Nice reaction, too 🥳
You can't go wrong with Queen in my estimation. I subscribed, too, as I loved your reaction. Suggestions from me is an early Queen song called Killer Queen. You won't recognize Freddie, ha ha. Studio Version...not a live one. Even if you think you know Another One Bites The Dust, the studio version gives me goosebumps and many Pele find they didn't know all the words. Michael Jackson talked them into releasing it in the USA as a single, and it shot to #1 on the charts. Lastly, live 20 minute set at Live Aid 1985 is well worth the 20 minutes which Zoom by like 10 minutes or less. You did a great reaction here. Someone wrote that Freddie Mercury wore a superman t-shirt....and somewhere thee is a Superman wearing a Freddie Mercury shirt. smile. I liked that.
An interviewer once asked Freddy, what instrument do you play? He said, the audience, my dear! ❤ Talk about crowd control- you need to react to the 20 minute set at Live Aid. Highly regarded as one of the greatest live performances, by any band or genre, ever. Freddy literally has 70,000 fans under his complete control. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If you can grab yourself some headphones;they will bring your listening experience to a whole new level. Queen was and still is the greatest rock and roll band of all time . Same four singer songwriter musicians with # 1 Albums and # 1singles for 21 yrs . Crazy Incredible
Every once in a while you come across a guitar solo that is so long you just have to pause during it to keep the video from being blocked. Most of the time they are short enough that you can play it all the way through. Love Queen. Enjoyed your reaction.
Everything in their discography is great. You won’t find a bad song and there’s so much variety in genres. Innuendo, from their final album before Freddie’s death, is a terrific, near modern hard rock song that goes dark. Show Must Go On from that album is incredible too. The band got together once after Freddie’s death to produce No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) as a tribute and it’s terrific. Brian and Roger sing on lead on it.
MY FAVORITE QUEEN SONG!! Yayyyyyy!! Freddie wrote this song inspired by his love for the great Aretha Franklin! ❤ Check out Another One Bites The Dust live at Wembley 1986. SUBBED 🎉🎉
You can't go wrong with Queen! There is no bad song, no bad performance! It might have been the best group on this planet every existet!? o_O And there is a lot out there to disover ... You just started your yourney! Go on! You won't regret it! :)

Watch this a few times privately just to absorb it all. A live performance with no gimmick, just RAW Queen. And give drummer Roger Taylor his vocal dues.
the whole Live Montreal 1981 is, imo, one of their very best! Next try THIS THING CALLED LOVE from that show, Freddie plays rhythm guitar [!] and does a tribute to Elvis, AND it truly "rocks'! 💕your takes, keep up that good work 🌞
Great reaction. Queen voted the best live band, check out Under pressue live at Wembley 86 Fat bottomed girls live at Bowl 82 Don't stop me now official video Bohemian Rhapsody live at Montreal 81 Freddie's voice is unmatched. Even scientific study confirms Freddie Mercury had an unparalleled singing voice. That what makes his voice so special was extremely fast vibrato 7.04 Hz and subharmonics. He was able to create several more layers of harmonics than anyone else. Freddie was using a subharmonics by vibrating his ventricular folds, a technique usually found only in Tuvan throat singers. One of the conclusions from the studies was that "Mercury was vibrating something in his throat that even Pavarotti couldn't move and that kind of creates a very typical vocal fingerprint" Brian May ( guitar player)has PhD degree in astrophysics and voted the greatest rock guitarist of all time ( Total Guitar magazine).
Freddie is a one off. Hence why he is called a legend! In my opinion. Not seeing Anyone like him now. Not even close. So probably never. Doesn’t Mean there are not great artists today... however, I would challenge... who could be this vocally superb, amazing in piano, and be the beat frontman of all time! I’m going with none. ❤❤❤
Pause where you want. It's your channel, lol. You will learn that people will moan no matter what you do, so do what you want. This is your musical journey. Us oldies know these wonderful songs already. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great reaction! I predict much more Queen for you. Have a seat, buckle up, hands and feet inside the ride at all times. Their early stuff is amazing. Check out White Queen live at the Hammersmith Odeon. I promise that your brain will explode. 🤯
Freddie has Charisma like Champagne has Bubbles and God has Angels. Absolute rockstar, as is the whole band. Roger Taylor (on drums) has vocals that could have let him front any band, and here he's backup. ❤
Wow-you are a much faster learner than I would be! You were able to take some criticisms about your BoRhap reaction and incorporate those comments into your reaction style, beautifully! Great reaction and I hope you do many more Queen reactions!
Thanks, Jmboy - you stumbled onto one of their best live performances... this entire concert is gold... and not just Freddie - but the entire band.. hope to hear more from you!
Haha I laughed when you talked of the comments about interrupting a guitar solo.Wait (no don’t wait) till you listen to Pink Floyd (and you will) No one likes a David Gilmore solo interrupted.Try starting with Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” live from Pulse 1994.You won’t regret it,we promise.
I subbed so I can follow you on this journey. It's always exciting to follow a new reactor whose background is primarily rap/hip hop. Nothing wrong with those genres but there's so much more to discover. And I'll say right now, don't overlook other genres besides classic rock. Don't know what your exposure is but there's a lot of great music in the genres of R&B, soft rock, yacht rock, blues, metal, disco, and even pop. Lot's of sub genres in each too. Everyone here is aware of the need to pause for copyright reasons and we're fine with it. But there's a bit of an art to doing it right. You seem like an intelligent guy; I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Just takes practice and patience. By the way, if nobody's suggested it yet it's a good idea to get yourself a good set of headphones; you'll be amazed at what a difference that makes. With Queen you've started with one of the top classic rock bands of all time. Excluding the Beatles, who should be in a classification all to themselves, my 3 top classic rock bands are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Queen. Others will of course have a different opinion; that's ok everybody has a right to their opinion even if it's wrong (just kidding!😁). I also think Freddie Mercury is the greatest front man in the history of rock! There'll never be another like him. By all means continue exploring Queen; they have so many iconic songs. I'm sure you'll get plenty of suggestions in the comments. Seems to me you really like electric guitar. I'll finish off by suggesting two performances for you. First is a live performance that contains what many think is the greatest live rock guitar solo of all time: Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb live Pulse concert 1994. The other I'd suggest is Stevie Ray Vaughn Texas Flood live at El Mocambo. Please be careful to do exactly those versions; they're easy to find. If you do any other live version you'll get a lot of comments saying "That was great but you should've done this version". Anyway best of luck to you. I'm looking forward to following your journey. Buckle up; it's gonna be a wild ride!
Also maybe check out some A Cappella groups like Pentatonics, VoicePlay, and Home Free. Home Free cover of Boyz II Men "End of the Road " and VoicePlay "I Can't Make You Love Me" would be good starts.
Absolutely!.These a capella groups have become my new favorites. They can cover any genre and sound better than the originals. 🎼❤🎼 Without instruments!
Whenever I watch the Live Aid performance, I can't help but think that he knew, this would be one of his last performances, knowing he had AIDS :( I remember watching this on tv when I was around 17 or 18, back in the UK.
Welcome to the world of Queen! Aretha Franklin was one of Freddie Mercury's influences and you can definitely hear her at the end of the song. I highly recommend Save Me (this concert's version, Montreal '81, is an absolute must), Radio Ga Ga, Stone Cold Crazy, Killer Queen, I Want To Break Free, The Show Must Go On, Spread Your Wings, Tear It Up and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Crazy Little Thing Called Love was Freddie's tribute to Elvis, who was another one of his influences. Freddie wrote it in 10 minutes while in a bathtub in a Munch hotel.
This song is amazing live and you can go to numerous other shows and it will be a different performance. Many great ones from this show, in particular love of my life, Dragon attack & bohemian rhapsody.
1. You need some good headphones. 2. The audience always sings the songs with Freddy. You can't hear them very well on this recording, but with the drum beats the audience sings "Find me somebody to love"... 3. Bohemian Rhapsody is an amazing rock collaboration of several songs. They were way ahead of their time with this one. Enjoy!
Highly recommend the live performance of One Vision at Wembley. It was their opening number and inspired by MLK’s I have a dream speech. I’d, also, suggest the studio cut of “You Take My Breath Away” for some amazing and complex harmonies.
Watched this video reaction for a second time. So great. You definitely need to check out their full set at Live Aid from July 1985. It is considered probably the greatest live performance of all time. You will be amazed at how Freddie controls 100,000 people
Thank you for respecting the music and appreciating Queen. If you want to watch a truly outstanding performance, check out the video "Queen at Live Aid 1985". I promise you won't be sorry.
You're right this guy is the best performer singer ever existed (for me)and I'm sure alot if people will agree besides queen had in1985 the best concert ever made in rock history you have to react this one it will blow you away this four guys are perfection and freddie is agod music but I'll let judge and you may want to listen to the secrets behind the legendary voice of freddie mercury i think you'll be amazed love your reaction do more queen👌👌
All reactors should consider headphones. It definitely improves your experience. But I have personally found that for some reason, when the reactor wears headphones, the audio quality of the song in the video improves greatly for the viewer. I don't know why it is. But I have noticed it. Obviously we are here for your reaction, but I like to hear the song sounding as good as it can, too. Great reaction! I hope to check you out some more. Hopefully with better audio on the song! lol. You are fun to watch.
This was a Freddie’s Gospel song , with Aretha Franklin in mind. He loved her.They are Phenomenal . There can only be one . Never again on this planet .
Please, the Show must go on & who wants to live forever next. There's nothing he couldn't do. Check out his mesmorizing operatic song Barcelona with one of the greatest opera singers the world has ever known Montseratt Caballe. I promise you, you won't be disappointed!
Freddie is considered the greatest front man of all time, and their Live Aid concert is considered the greatest live concert of all time! Check out Live Aid!
Listen to it again, Drummer Roger Taylor, amazing vocals.
Welcome aboard the Queen Express down the Queen Rabbit Hole. Hold on tight, it’s a wild ride with over 200 songs in their catalogue.
I saw him live in 1978!! Best concert!!! I was a lucky girl!❤️👍👍👍
Never be another Freddie!
You get it! We older ppl are fortunate to have grown up listening to these guys...and, for me, it's almost worth that extra agedness. I'm happy you've joined our ranks.

I was there in 78 at Madison Square garden.
18th row center. Top ten days of my life!!!
They were/are the greatest band and Freddie is truly amazing. Even though he passed away in 1991, he still remains the best frontman of all time.

Dude you had such joy on your face which is contagious. Thanks for sharing.👍
the whole Live Montreal 1981 is, imo, one of their very best! Next try THIS THING CALLED LOVE from that show, Freddie plays rhythm guitar [!] and does a tribute to Elvis, AND it truly "rocks'! 💕your takes, keep up that good work 🌞
All of the band members wrote songs, and each of them had at least one big hit.
Dr Brian May, the guitarist, is also an astrophysicist who has worked with NASA.
💯🔥 Reaction.🤙🍻 Although it's longer, you may enjoy them live at "Live Aid".
Yip, saw them live back in the mid 80s it was incredible. Freddie held around 50,000 people in the pal. Of his hand for over 2.5 hours.
Great reaction. Queen voted the best live band, check out

Freddie's voice is unmatched.
Even scientific study confirms Freddie Mercury had an unparalleled singing voice. That what makes his voice so special was extremely fast vibrato 7.04 Hz and subharmonics. He was able to create several more layers of harmonics than anyone else. Freddie was using a subharmonics by vibrating his ventricular folds, a technique usually found only in Tuvan throat singers. One of the conclusions from the studies was that "Mercury was vibrating something in his throat that even Pavarotti couldn't move and that kind of creates a very typical vocal fingerprint"
Brian May ( guitar player)has PhD degree in astrophysics and voted the greatest rock guitarist of all time ( Total Guitar magazine).
Rock Gods owning their domain 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Loved your reaction 😊 Queen live aid is a amazing thanks ☺️ more Queen please 😊
"One Vision" Official Video is one of my favorites by Queen.
Freddie is a one off. Hence why he is called a legend! In my opinion.
Not seeing Anyone like him now. Not even close. So probably never.
Doesn’t Mean there are not great artists today...
however, I would challenge... who could be this vocally superb, amazing in piano, and be the beat frontman of all time!
I’m going with none. ❤❤❤
If you haven't seen Live Aid...
That WILL SERIOUSLY BLOW YOUR MIND....BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER!!!
More Queen and The Bee Gees, your numbers will explode. 💣
Pause where you want. It's your channel, lol. You will learn that people will moan no matter what you do, so do what you want. This is your musical journey. Us oldies know these wonderful songs already. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great reaction! I predict much more Queen for you. Have a seat, buckle up, hands and feet inside the ride at all times. Their early stuff is amazing. Check out White Queen live at the Hammersmith Odeon. I promise that your brain will explode. 🤯
Can’t wait for you to do the Live aid concert. It’s the quickest and best 20 minutes you’ll ever have. Great reaction.😁👍🏾
Freddie has Charisma like Champagne has Bubbles and God has Angels. Absolute rockstar, as is the whole band. Roger Taylor (on drums) has vocals that could have let him front any band, and here he's backup. ❤
Great reaction to Queen. I just subscribed. Thank you for this. They were so good live.❤
You have 300 to go….woo hoo!🌻🇬🇧🌻
Wow-you are a much faster learner than I would be! You were able to take some criticisms about your BoRhap reaction and incorporate those comments into your reaction style, beautifully! Great reaction and I hope you do many more Queen reactions!
Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ liked subscribed 😁 please react to white queen live performance Odeon Hammersmith ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️
Thanks, Jmboy - you stumbled onto one of their best live performances... this entire concert is gold... and not just Freddie - but the entire band.. hope to hear more from you!
I love it when they get the crowd involved in singing along with them. Freddie was a master of crowd involvement. RIP FREDDIE ❤️☮️👵🏼
That concert was held at Montreal on November the 24th in 1981
Exactly ten years before Freddie's death..
It is one of my absolute favorites
❤
Haha I laughed when you talked of the comments about interrupting a guitar solo.Wait (no don’t wait) till you listen to Pink Floyd (and you will) No one likes a David Gilmore solo interrupted.Try starting with Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” live from Pulse 1994.You won’t regret it,we promise.

Nothing wrong with those genres but there's so much more to discover. And I'll say right now, don't overlook other genres besides classic rock.

Great reaction to a great song and band, been following Queen since 1974..onlyva kid then but Still am when I hear then... Best from UK.
Love your reaction! Saw them live in1980 in Oakland....unbelievable!! RIP Freddie
Also maybe check out some A Cappella groups like Pentatonics, VoicePlay, and Home Free. Home Free cover of Boyz II Men "End of the Road " and VoicePlay "I Can't Make You Love Me" would be good starts.
Absolutely!.These a capella groups have become my new favorites. They can cover any genre and sound better than the originals. 🎼❤🎼 Without instruments!
Whenever I watch the Live Aid performance, I can't help but think that he knew, this would be one of his last performances, knowing he had AIDS :( I remember watching this on tv when I was around 17 or 18, back in the UK.
Hey there. I stumbled on you bc you stumbled on the GOAT ✌🏼❤️🔥🔥 Have fun !!
Great reaction. Freddie wrote this as a homage to Aretha Franklin 💜 -x-
Welcome to the world of Queen! Aretha Franklin was one of Freddie Mercury's influences and you can definitely hear her at the end of the song. I highly recommend Save Me (this concert's version, Montreal '81, is an absolute must), Radio Ga Ga, Stone Cold Crazy, Killer Queen, I Want To Break Free, The Show Must Go On, Spread Your Wings, Tear It Up and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Crazy Little Thing Called Love was Freddie's tribute to Elvis, who was another one of his influences. Freddie wrote it in 10 minutes while in a bathtub in a Munch hotel.
Hello from Cody wyoming! You're awesome, keep it up...peace😊 I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to your reactions
This song is amazing live and you can go to numerous other shows and it will be a different performance.
Many great ones from this show, in particular love of my life, Dragon attack & bohemian rhapsody.
Subbed for more queen!! Live aid please. Also white queen live at Hammersmith is a great performance!
The incomparable Roger Taylor was/is a beast on drums and vocals!! He and Brian May still touring and going strong well into their seventies ♥️👑🎸🎹🥁🎤
Such a great song.
I even love every cover of this song that I hear.
No other band like Queen..'nuf said!
1. You need some good headphones.
2. The audience always sings the songs with Freddy. You can't hear them very well on this recording, but with the drum beats the audience sings "Find me somebody to love"...
3. Bohemian Rhapsody is an amazing rock collaboration of several songs. They were way ahead of their time with this one. Enjoy!
You will find as you go on with their performances he still is the best frontman ever even though we lost him in 1991.
Can't go wrong with Queen
Thank you
Highly recommend the live performance of One Vision at Wembley. It was their opening number and inspired by MLK’s I have a dream speech. I’d, also, suggest the studio cut of “You Take My Breath Away” for some amazing and complex harmonies.
Watched this video reaction for a second time. So great. You definitely need to check out their full set at Live Aid from July 1985. It is considered probably the greatest live performance of all time. You will be amazed at how Freddie controls 100,000 people
You haven't seen "wow" until you've watched Queen at Live Aid 1985.
Love ur reaction.ive seen them twice,utterly fantastic.x
Thank you for respecting the music and appreciating Queen. If you want to watch a truly outstanding performance, check out the video "Queen at Live Aid 1985". I promise you won't be sorry.
FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS .. Live at Milton Keynes 1982. 🔥
You're right this guy is the best performer singer ever existed (for me)and I'm sure alot if people will agree besides queen had in1985 the best concert ever made in rock history you have to react this one it will blow you away this four guys are perfection and freddie is agod music but I'll let judge and you may want to listen to the secrets behind the legendary voice of freddie mercury i think you'll be amazed love your reaction do more queen👌👌
All reactors should consider headphones. It definitely improves your experience. But I have personally found that for some reason, when the reactor wears headphones, the audio quality of the song in the video improves greatly for the viewer. I don't know why it is. But I have noticed it. Obviously we are here for your reaction, but I like to hear the song sounding as good as it can, too. Great reaction! I hope to check you out some more. Hopefully with better audio on the song! lol. You are fun to watch.
Freddie never disappoints
Save Me from this same concert. It's a great performance.
Que barbaridad¡¡¡, wow not only Freddy of course but the whole band are amazing.
I appreciate drummer ... amazing
Great reaction . He is the best.
This was a Freddie’s Gospel song , with Aretha Franklin in mind. He loved her.They are Phenomenal . There can only be one . Never again on this planet .
Please, the Show must go on & who wants to live forever next. There's nothing he couldn't do. Check out his mesmorizing operatic song Barcelona with one of the greatest opera singers the world has ever known Montseratt Caballe. I promise you, you won't be disappointed!
Freddie is considered the greatest front man of all time, and their Live Aid concert is considered the greatest live concert of all time! Check out Live Aid!
Best band ever.
LIVE AID 85 PLEASE ?????????????
You gotta watch Dragon Attack Montreal 1980
He was amazing, and to think he was very sick here
I saw these guys in 1977. Because I'm old.
As you are loving the live performances try Sultans of Swing by dire straits alchemy live version.
GREAT REACTION!
