They stayed together till Freddie died in 1991 - and started as Queen in 1970 - with John joining the group in 1971. - - And they are british - so George Washington is not in the forefront of their minds 🥰. John, the bassist, left the group after Freddie died - and never joined another band, Brian and Roger has solo carriers and have both had other bands and made albums. They have toured from time to time as Queen with other frontmen - but for the last 12 years they have toured with Adam Lambert - the whole world - still for sold-out venues. They have a tight group of musicians - - Spike Edney - has been with the group since start of the 80´s - playing keyboard behind the scene to make it possible for Freddie to perform on stage - interact with the crowd as you witnessed. they also have a bassist and a percussionist - . Many years ago it was Roger Taylors son, Rufus Tiger Taylor, who played the drums. He is now the drummer of "Darkness". Roger and Brian are in their 70's but may tour again in 2025. I hope that you will stick to Queen - their catalog is vast - and they are one of the best bands in the world - second to The Beatles - . You ought to wear headphones - their music deserves it - "Bohemian Rhapsody" will not work without it. Their studioversions are very different from the live versions - - they are multilayered and multifaceted - and they do not try to remake that when on stage. - As you witnessed here they are free and improvising - actually they had to because Brian had a problem that his guitar tech. had to solve - so he left for a while - when Freddie interacted with the crowd. If you watch again you can see him look back to see if Brian is ready to go again. When you have your headphones you must listen to/see the studioversion of "Bohemian Rhapsody" - the rest of the world went nuts in 1985 - and it has topped the charts more than once since then. Enough for now. You have a new subscriber.
you have jumped down one of the best rabbit holes ever! Please react to Queen Live Aid, the whole concert (it's only about 20 minutes) Considered by many the best concert heard around the world ever. I also recommend you guys invest in some headphones. Thanks for the reaction.
I’ll give you some background info on Queen. Queen is comprised of Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and plays piano and occasional guitar. He has a 4 octave vocal range. Received a diploma in graphic design and created the band’s logo. He passed away in 1991 and is considered by many to be the best frontman ever. Dr. Sir Brian May is the lead guitarist and sings. He also plays piano and harp. He has a Ph D in Astrophysics and has an IQ north of 180. He and his father made the guitar he plays (referred to as the Red Special) out of things they had around the house when Brian was 16. The neck is made from 100 year old fireplace mantle (hand carved), the body made from an oak table and the tremolo bar made from bike parts and his mother’s knitting needle. 60 years later and he still uses that guitar. Brian was knighted 2 years ago. John Deacon is the Bassist and also plays drums, guitar, piano, double Bass. He graduated with High honors degree in Engineering and made an amp out of an old speaker cabinet and things he found in the trash. It’s called the Deacy Amp and he gave it to Brian to use which allows Brian’s guitar to sound like different orchestral instruments. Brian tried to have another one made but no one can duplicate the sounds the Deacy Amp can make. John looked after the band’s finances. Roger Taylor is the drummer and can play guitar as well. His vocal range is up there with Freddie’s and he has a high falsetto earning him the nickname, the dog whistle. He went to school to become a dentist and got bored so he got a degree in Biology. These are 4 talented and smart men who were perfectionists. All 4 wrote number 1 hits and all 4 were inducted into the songwriter’s hall of fame, a feat very few bands accomplished.
@@Mikey-DiLo So they’re a band of guys who would have been successful no matter what they did! They just happened to be geniuses with their musical sides too. Thank you for that comment! So happy you’re here! -Ashley & Jonny
@TheReactionCave1 you are right! Brian has worked on several NASA projects including helping to map the asteroid Bennu because of his degree and because he has been interested in stereoscopy and taking 3D pictures since he was a kid. He pointed out to NASA how 3D pictures could help them know where on the asteroid to land a craft which will ultimately help NASA figure out how to deal with an asteroid which may come too close to Earth. Brian is helping to save the world! He is also a huge animal rights activist. A true Renaissance man. They are all intelligent men who started Queen when they were in college. When they signed with Trident Studios they could only record when no one else was so they would go into the studio at 3 in the morning and record until the cleaning crew came in.
I love to brag, in my old age, I did not see this performance, but I did see them two days later. Thin Lizzy was the opening act. All in all, a pretty darn good night.
The backing vocals - so hard to believe there are only the 4 Queen members on stage supplying all those. The iconic microphone has been around with them since the 70's
Wow, I just happened upon your channel as this video popped up on my feed this evening. So, this is your first time watching a Queen Live performance. Congratulations on your first reaction to one of the legendary bands of rock and roll, Queen! Yes, truly legendary. May I suggest for future QUEEN reactions, you both invest in some headphones, the kind that cover your ears, this way you do not miss out on the special sounds many others do miss when they do not wear the headphones. Queen's humble beginnings start in the early 1970s, so that means autotune was not invented yet, no enhancements made to their voices to make them sound better, what you hear is PURE TALENT. This song you reacted to was released in December of 1976, in fact, it appeared on Queen's 1976 album 'A Day at the Races'. It was inspired by Freddie Mercury's love for singer Aretha Franklin and built on the layered vocals the band pioneered on "Bohemian Rhapsody" the year before, and THAT song is worth reacting to if you haven't already watched it on your own. Wayne's World only did a portion of it in the movie but that was not the entire song, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is three songs Freddie couldn't finish so he meshed those three songs together and with the help of his bandmates Brian, John and Roger, they created a masterpiece of a song, and you will need the headphones for that one. Songs suggestions, Studio versions are great imo and then you can treat yourself to the live versions and then you'll be familiar with the songs once you hear them live, the live ones do sound better because you will notice the difference and appreciate Queen's talents if you haven't already. Firstly, 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Radio Ga Ga', 'Hammer to Fall', 'Crazy Little thing called Love' written by Freddie Mercury as his tribute to Elvis Presley, 'We will Rock you' and We Are the Champions' That is the set list for the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985, it was a benefit concert to raise money for the famine relief in Ethiopia way back when. Each participating band/artist would have 20 minutes each to play their songs and some of their songs are an abbreviated set and when Queen finally came on stage, well, they stole the show that day. It was also like a comeback for Queen too after they had taken a hiatus from recording together and touring. 72,000 people at Wembly stadium in England and 89,000 at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, and it was estimated that 1.9 billion worldwide watched it as it was broadcasted to 150 nations via satellite. Other songs suggested the following written by Queen band member John Deacon (Bass guitarist) 'Another One Bites the Dust', 'I Want to Break Free', and 'You're my Best Friend'. Others you may want to listen to "The Love of my Life" written by Freddie Mercury, 'Fat Bottomed Girls' written by Brian May with Freddie in mind, "A kind of Magic" Written by Roger Taylor (Drums/Vocals) Roger Taylor also has an awesome range vocally as well as being one heck of a drummer for Queen. Just so you know. Oh, and the EXTENDED version of "One Vision" That's another good one to listen to; "Don't Stop me Now written by Freddie Mercury. There are MORE wonderful songs from Queen that displays their talents so wonderfully. 9:20 Actually Johnny, that is not the face of George Washington, on the bass drum, that is the face of Roger Taylor the drummer himself. I read about it on the Reddit website with a link provided for the picture used to put on his bass drum. 10:00 Well Ashley, there are some bands that do have drummers who can sing and play their instruments while performing, it was a thing to do actually, but nowadays, I couldn't say the same for the bands and artists who are popular now. Johnny and Ashley, I would like to say welcome to the world of Queen, I hope you enjoy your journey and appreciate excellent music from Queen from the 1970s, to 1980s and early 1990s. Sadly we all lost Freddie Mercury in November of 1991, we still love him and miss him to this very day. Peace! ☮
Here are some other epic performances: White Queen, live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Love Of My Life, Now I’m Here and Under Pressure live at Wembley 1986. Tie Your Mother Down live at Wembley July 12th performance and watch the audience. Save Me, Another One Bites The Dust, Dragon Attack and Keep Yourself Alive live at Montreal.
That is a picture of Roger Taylor, the drummer on his drum. Because Roger is so much a part of the harmonies in the songs and because he has such a huge kit, it is hard for the audience to see him so someone in the band (probably Freddie) thought they should put Roger's picture on the drum for the audience.
Queen, the best band ever…also the best rabbit hole you’ll ever go down. The drummer(Roger Taylor)is the bands secret weapon,he’s brilliant, well they all are ❤❤❤❤ The picture on the drum is of the drummer.
Each member writes each are in the writers hall of fame. They were together for 20 years+ until Freddie lead singer died of Aids in 91 aged 45. They are Great
The huge difference between concerts then and now - no phones! Everyone was directly involved in the music so you could feel it as well as hearing and seeing it.
Thanks, kids! on the piano - for Freddie it's honey & lemon. some other members & staff drank beer... I'm glad you got this LIVE video for review.. Freddie is amazing, as always... but the entire band was on fire... appreciate your reaction...(p.s. you know many other Queen songs... besides "We Will Rock you".. almost always followed by "We are the Champions" - also, what about "Another one Bites the dust"? hope you listen to more...
It's not "Queen's band". The band's name IS Queen. It's not vocalist + backing band -- It is a unit comprised of four equal members. Four musicians, three of whom are all very good-to-excellent singers and the 4th of whom is an electronics whiz. All four were hit songwriters too, inducted individually into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. (Plus, the full band is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame)
If you want to get real goosebumps after you watched this video, you must watch Queen with George Michael on vocals playing this song at Freddie's Tribute Concert. Given the context of the concert, it might even make you tear up a bit.
Nothing better than a live show, especially if you've been catching up on their music. Even the older bands are worth catching up with. Took some time off from shows but we're right back into them now. Going to see Pearl Jam and Pixies tomorrow, Violent Femmes in a couple of weeks.
My first concert in 1977 was Queen and Thin Lizzy for seven bucks. I seen them three times in total. Every song had this energy absolutely a great band.
Thank you for reacting to this iconic performance……I love your reactions…..you both are so cute together. 😊. Yes ….Please continue to react to Queen….they have a huge catalog spread out over 20 years of hits. Many are iconic songs that you will recognize….but didn’t know they were by Queen. Most songs are usually better live than the studio versions….. this entire Montreal 1981 is on fire 🔥. Please react to “Another One Bites the Dust” and also “We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions”. (together) from this same concert. Thank you.
This is one of the greatest live performances ever. Freddie Mercury was an untrained singer, never took singing lessons, but he was a gifted musician, a perfectionist. Freddie was a huge fan of Aretha Franklin and he wrote this song as a tribute to her. By listening to Aretha's early gospel style records, he learned how to sing with phrasing. Roger Taylor is one of the best singing drummers, his voice is better than many lead singer's.
@@andreakormosnekacso4804 They’re all so amazing! If you have any favorite Queen songs we’d love to add them to our list. It’s always fans that recommend the best ones!
Queen makes music in any genre you can think of...if you like blues, listen to My Melancholy Blues, like jazz try Dreamers Ball, like folk listen to 39, like metal then Dragon Attack is for you and if you like ballads, you can't beat Love of My life... those are just some of the genres Queen has mastered. Enjoy!!
he didnt drink beer while performing what you see on the piano is a Tea with honey in it.. also remember this is at a live concert in the 80's way way before auto tune and still queen sound this good .. truly amazing talent from the entire band.
Don’t delay start going to concerts. A lot of these great bands you have been watching are gone. If you get a chance, get out see the rest of them before they’re gone also. I’ve been to well over 100 concerts and probably seen 60 different top artist. You can’t replace the feeling of live music. Even local bands in a bar can be inspiring.
Roger Taylor, drummer extraordinaire, sings the high parts. Brian May, guitar god and ASTROPHYSICISTS sings the tenor parts. John “Dinky” Decon doesn’t sing much but BASS PLAYIN FOOL and electronics MASTER! (He helped invent the amp/efx that Brian’s guitar makes. Then there’s Freddy, well, strap in and listen! TOGETHER, they are QUEEN.
so, weird thing, i'm really confident that i subscribed to you when you dropped your first Ren reaction but i just came here to watch this one, (it's Queen so it's obligatory!) and apparently i'm not subscribed at all. firstly, i'm an old fart and it's highly likely that i just forgot to do it in the first place because, y'know, i r dumb! but just in case, you might want to check that nothings gone awry. i have no idea how it all works but i do know that other reactors have had trouble before. anyhoo, many thanks for sharing this awesome reaction and much love to you both🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤
Drums have a picture of the drummer himself, Roger Taylor. Could be so he got some visual exposure, and not just hidden away behind the drums. His son Rufus is also a first class druumer too
hello miss and sir. appreciate ur chanel. freddy drink some water and honney on stage. the guitarist brian may is an astrophysicien, at percussion, roger taylor is dentiste and some biologist, etc etc. but they are all top tier musician. new subs. syd qubec canada.
@@syddesrochers2604 Hi! Wow and you can tell because his voice is amazing. They all play so great together. We can’t wait to hear more of them! Thank you so much for being here! -Ashley & Jonny

Since you mentioned the beer, you'll get some dumb comments saying Freddie never drinks beer onstage, even though he does. He's on camera drinking beer in Montreal '81 more than once. Unfortunately some Queen fans on YT are in denial or have poor eyesight. There are always 2 large clear plastic cups filled with beer directly in front of Freddie on the piano in their live videos, including at Live Aid in 1985. The small ones are Dixie cups filled with water. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- With show time approaching, towels and drinks for the band’s refreshment on stage would now be strategically placed: water and beer for Fred, beer for Brian and Roger and the Backstage Bar for John, comprising water, beer, soft drinks, wine and whatever spirit or cocktail he fancied at the time: Southern Comfort, vodka or tequila - Peter Hince (aka Ratty), Fred’s and John’s roadie and head of Queen’s crew
@@jamescrane2156 Aww thank you for the comment. It’s so cool that you know all of that! He was such an amazing singer he deserved a couple! We can’t wait to hear more. So happy you found the channel! -Ashley
Freddie did not drink beer on stage as he said it was too gassy for him. Think about it, as a lead singer you don't want to drink gassy beer then have the need to belch whilst singing.

This is one of the greatest songs for reaction videos, right up there with the live (1977) Eagles 'Hotel California' video 👍
Only 300 Queen songs to go!! It’s the drummers face on the drum!!🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nearly - The baby on Roger Taylor's drum is his son, Rufus Tiger Taylor. I also seem to rember it being used on a single !

“Deaky” (John Deacon)
so, weird thing, i'm really confident that i subscribed to you when you dropped your first Ren reaction but i just came here to watch this one, (it's Queen so it's obligatory!) and apparently i'm not subscribed at all. firstly, i'm an old fart and it's highly likely that i just forgot to do it in the first place because, y'know, i r dumb! but just in case, you might want to check that nothings gone awry. i have no idea how it all works but i do know that other reactors have had trouble before.
anyhoo, many thanks for sharing this awesome reaction and much love to you both🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤
You nice people
Thank you ❤
@@barrys1342 Aww thank you Barry! So happy you’re here and like the channel! -Ashley & Jonny
Bass drum has part of “News of the World” album cover art on it I THINK.
If you ever get to watch the movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody', take it with a large pinch of salt!
He is Roger Taylor, the famous drummer!! You don't know him?? The whole band are superb, especially Freddie ofcourse!!!!
Drums have a picture of the drummer himself, Roger Taylor. Could be so he got some visual exposure, and not just hidden away behind the drums. His son Rufus is also a first class druumer too
React to Queen Live aid 1985 about 22 minutes well worth it
The mic stand broke in one early concerts so he never replace the bottom part

Queen one (Self tilted) is so good
Since you mentioned the beer, you'll get some dumb comments saying Freddie never drinks beer onstage, even though he does. He's on camera drinking beer in Montreal '81 more than once. Unfortunately some Queen fans on YT are in denial or have poor eyesight. There are always 2 large clear plastic cups filled with beer directly in front of Freddie on the piano in their live videos, including at Live Aid in 1985. The small ones are Dixie cups filled with water. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- With show time approaching, towels and drinks for the band’s refreshment on stage would now be strategically placed: water and beer for Fred, beer for Brian and Roger and the Backstage Bar for John, comprising water, beer, soft drinks, wine and whatever spirit or cocktail he fancied at the time: Southern Comfort, vodka or tequila - Peter Hince (aka Ratty), Fred’s and John’s roadie and head of Queen’s crew
@@jamescrane2156 Aww thank you for the comment. It’s so cool that you know all of that! He was such an amazing singer he deserved a couple! We can’t wait to hear more. So happy you found the channel! -Ashley
Freddie did not drink beer on stage as he said it was too gassy for him. Think about it, as a lead singer you don't want to drink gassy beer then have the need to belch whilst singing.
Me, Madonna, Jackson, Queen live in the UK in the 80's. Get out & enjoy music.
Try some white queen or March of the black queen
Another nice rabbit hole to go down in to
@@davehoag1302 Oh cool, we’ll add it to our list! Thank you! -Ashley
PLEASE, For god sake, before any studio Queen or Pink Floyd, get headphones! Stereo is MUCH of the TRIP!!!!
George Washington, lololol
Headphones make a big difference with music reactions
It wasn't beer - honey and lemon for his throat
@@netta6180 Aww so happy to hear that! And you can tell. His voice is amazing! Thank you so much for commenting. -Ashley & Jonny
