Yep! I have a CD of Queen’s Greatest Hits - I’m 71 and I play it nearly every week while I’m doing things around the house- the Queen effect stays with you for many years 🥰👍🏿🇦🇺
@@mariagrant2072 They have just sold 7 million of that album in UK - that is record - no-one else has done that - not even the Beatles . I'm 71 as well 😄
@@mariagrant2072 The Queen Effect goes by generation, too! I became a Queen fan in the late 70's/early 80's because my parents were always listening to them and the Beatles, so it was natural that my favourite records as a kid - then again as a teen, and among my faves as an adult - were Sgt. Pepper and Night At The Opera. Now I see it as part of my duties as an Official Cool Auntie to introduce my nieces to great music. I've got them started on Bowie and Queen, so it's going well so far! ;)
If you are still wondering, Lady Godiva was a medieval noble woman who rode through the streets of Coventry, England naked. The people were suffering from her husband’s excessive taxes, he said he would repeal them if she rode naked through the streets, which she did! 🇬🇧❤️ great reaction!
Freddie was THE man. Loved him and Queen. He had so much charisma and sex appeal. Unfortunately he was stopped by his horrible death. My heart broke 💔 that day. I still miss him so much. He was a supersonic man. 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Love you Freddie. May you rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤
You]re absolutely right about the originality of the lyrics...These guys were amazing musicians and song writers all in the song writer's Hall of Fame...they were all college educated with the main guitarist a Doctorate in astro-physics...two of them were real family men...more Queen pls....want to see Freddie in action react to UNDER PRESSURE and ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST live at Wembley...and of coarse the greatest live performance SOMEBODY TO LOVE , live in Montreal......
I spent my 24th B-Day at the Queen Concert in Montreal. We drove 5000 miles return from Alberta to Quebec. Sadly, Freddie also passed on my birthday 10 years later in 1991. That concert, to this day, is the most memorable one I've attended.
You wondered about Lady Godiva?...she was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who lived in the eleventh century...her husband imposed a tax on his tenants...so she rode naked through the streets of Coventry to force her husband to stop the taxes...there is a statue of her in Coventry...ask Google🤩
Sometimes I love being old. I got to grow up with these guys and so many great bands! Keep up your exploration, you'll love it. And yes, its simple because these guys have true talent. No auto tune, no pretension.
Yesssss. We had the best music, awesome fast muscle cars, and us gals took over wearing the guy’s Levi’s until the fashion industry started making blue jeans for women. (do you zipper or button?) For his sake, I hope he finds Led Zeppelin soon.
Queen absolutely amazing performance, Queen have sold 300 million albums worldwide, all the band members have written no1 hits, there greatest hits album is still the best selling album of all time in the Uk 🇬🇧! Absolutely amazing band live , no Auto tune in these days!
Guaranteed, if you jump into the Queen catalog, you will have a musical experience of a lifetime! And yes, your channel will grow with some of the most amazing people you'll ever want to meet, Queen fans old and new! I absolutely love watching and listening to folks like you discover Queen & Freddie Mercury for the first time. ❤ your reaction! I bet you didn't know that all 4 in the band are highly educated as well, the lead guitar Brian May is an astrophysicist, yep,, Dr Brian May best guitarist IMHO in the world.
Hi Greg, Brian May was lead guitarist and is still playing. Freddie was a genius song writer. He was magnificent and will always be missed. So good to see your smiling face and appreciation for Freddie and his brilliant band. Xxxxx
Queen does not usually block their videos so don't worry about that too much. I love this song , it takes me to my happy place. These guys were and are awesome writers, their music is timeless. On Queen's live stuff, there is a lot of movement on the stage, that is kind of their signature, that and getting the audience into it. Queen is actually better live than on these official videos. I love this band! not a bad song in their catalog and so many hits that you actually know but had no idea who wrote them and performed them. Thank you for your reaction.
The beauty of Queens music is that it was made to be sung by crowds or just groups of people. When you have 50,000 people singing this in unison it’s the most magical, positive and soul lifting experience imaginable
Freddie had the greatest rock star voice EVER. There are other amazing singers as well but we all know they couldn’t top Freddie. And he had the most amazing charisma, swagger and stage presence. The band was so tight as well. Such an awesome song and group. Great review.
That's two, about a hundred more to go! lol This was voted the "Most Feel Good" song ever! Be sure and check them out live and in concert. You are in for a real treat. I am enjoying your reactions to one of the greatest rock bands in existance. Your smile makes me smile.
100? I watch another reactor who is on about 215 and he still has a long way to go! One of the best songs to open the windows of your car, crank it up and gooooooooo!
This song has been used in countless commercials, TV shows, movies, and other media!! Queen is everywhere!! WE WILL ROCK YOU, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST …. My favorite song is SOMEBODY TO LOVE ❤️ Check it out live in Montreal 1981. 🔥
Queen lost fans when rumours first came out that Freddie was gay, and again when they release the video for I Want To Break Free because they were all dressed in drag. I can’t believe anyone would cut themselves off from such amazing and beautiful music. Thank you for reacting to Queen.
Queen are Freddie Mercury lead singer & piano diploma in graphic art & design, Roger Taylor drummer & vocals degree in Biology, Dr Brian May lead guitar & vocals PHD in astrophysics, John Deacon bass guitar first class honours degree in electronics best band EVER x you should try some live Queen 😊Liar, In The Lap Of The Gods and In The Lap of the Gods Revisited (same title two completely different songs), Stone Cold Crazy all from The Rainbow 1974 White Queen from Hammersmith Odeon 1975 their 20 minute Live Aid set from Wembley 1985, Somebody To Love, Tie Your Mother Down both from Montreal 1981
The best feel-good song of my life, along with "Sultans of Swing" from Dire Straits, these are just making me happy anytime, anywhere. Music is the best!
Their lyrics are so creative. When I was a kid music and books were a way for me to learn things that school didn’t teach. If I didn’t understand something in lyrics I’d ask my parents. If they didn’t know or want to explain, I would look it up. All my books had notes in the margins for words I had to look up. Music is such an important thing for us all and especially our children. I love watching reaction channels and seeing people react to all different kinds of music. It’s so wonderful when we can open up to things we’re not used to. Sorry for the rambling message
Hey Greg! Just subbed, keep the Queen tunes coming! Oh, and welcome to the rabbit hole... you call them a "tight" band: Even though Freddie died 31 years ago, the band is still together and touring!! Queen and Adam Lambert are on tour now, and just played at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!! Another song you might recognize is "Under Pressure" or "The Show Must Go On"... both Queen classics. Another song to acknowledge their talents is an old song of theirs called "Liar" and "Stone Cold Crazy"... thanks again for great reactions...blessings.
Queen doesn’t usually stay in place. Watch any concert and you will see a show like no other!! Freddie controls a 100k crowd of people like there were 10. Check out Wembley 1985. A show like no other!! Of course Their live aid concert was considered the best rock concert ever!
I LIKE that you comment them to be a tight band! They are musicians and they feed off of each other - the drummer think that drumsoloes are boring - he prefers to play to the music - be a part - of the whole band - in beautiful harmony with the bass.
Queens music always makes me happy and sad because Freddie was gone too young. He was something so different and wonderful but they are all wonderful. Each member was a star in their own right.
In an interview with Brian May, he revealed that he had mixed feeling about the song, written by Freddie. May said it was about Freddie's "stuff". They were in the cusp of Freddie and Queen's fame. Funny that Queen plus Lambert play it regularly. The lyrics are R rated; I'm a se- machine waiting to reload.....It is on a commercial now very watered down.
Please, please, please react to Somebody To Love live in Montreal 1981. You won’t be disappointed. Roger Taylor the drummer has an outstanding voice as well
Dragon Attack and Another One Bites the Dust both live from Montreal concert 1981 are excellent. The band encouraged audience participation. When you watch their Live Aid 1985 performance, you will see the audience of 72,000 at Wembley, London singing every song along with Freddie, and his "call and response" with the audience is hard to resist joining in as though you are there with them. Live Aid was sent around the World by satellite with an estimated audience of 1.5 to 2 billion watching. It had most of the top bands, each given just 18 minutes to perform, to raise relief funds for famine in Ethiopia. Queens usual concerts were about 2 hours long. We are enjoying your discovery and appreciation of Queen. Well done!
The whole band...Freddie, Roger, John and Brian were amazing songwriters, musicians and singers. Freddie was the perfect front man..with his stage presence. My older sisters had The Beatles ❤ and we all had Queen. ❤ 🇬🇧xx
Absolutely love watching you respect and enjoy Queen! My fave since forever (saw them live in 1977 for $7). Albums used to come with liner notes and it was so cool to sit with my dictionary every time a new Queen album came out. You are spot on about how the performance is focused on the music. It’s a shame big venue music is so over produced and focused on solo acts now. Back in the day it was so much more about bands, appreciating the contribution of each musician. They were musicians, not musician/dancers. I recommend you check out their song “Killer Queen”-my favorite lyrics (from their more commercially successful songs anyway). Keep enjoying!
I love this song. The way it sounds is fantastic song. The song also makes me want to cry. This song is about Freddy experimenting with his sexuality having sex with almost anyone. This is the reason we lost him. I do love seeing new new people hearing queen, it starts in down a rabbit hole that I’ll never get out of Quinn is the greatest band of all time I think they can only be compared to the Beatles one fantastic song after another that you know is played in movies and TV 50 years after they made it What are the groups and say that
You should check out some live queen and you'll regret saying they don't jump around the stage 🤣 Freddie doesn't stop dancing 🤣 please react to one vision live at Wembley, new subscriber 👍
Freddie was a choreographer's nightmare. His spirit had to be behind the wheel in order to take off. It was the only way he knew how to perform. Queen found their match together.
This song was my first true Queen exposure when I was 10 or 11 because I had to play it for band (I played 3rd trumpet for that). I read my music and decided to listen to Don’t Stop Me Now’s actual recording. Ever since then, I’ve been in love with Queen.
So much to discover with Queen. All four of them wrote great songs, all of them sang (Freddie had 90% of the lead vocals, but the harmonies were great, too). And for the first seven albums (through "Jazz") it was all natural instruments, no mechanical drums or synthesizers. Pure brilliance Everybody will name the big hits, so let me campaign for a few lesser-known songs, all by Brian May (guitar) "Brighton Rock" (on which Brian invents his famous speed-panning guitar technique) "Now I'm Here" (do this live, perhaps from Houston in 1975 or London in '79; Freddie really interacts with the audience) "Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together)". I keep trying to describe this and failing, so let me just say "love song" and let you discover the rest. "The Prophet's Song". (Brian's equivalent to Freddie's "Bohemian Rhapsody' only longer and even crazier. You'll love it.) Keep digging!
You need to show the concert for Live AID. ALL OF IT MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS AND YES QUEEN WAS THERE. THE WHOLE SHOW WAS 🔥. MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 💕BRANDI MODRAK 💕❤
Here's a fun facts about Freddie since you are so into Queen. He has a serious overbite because he has extra teeth and would NOT get it fixed, afraid it would affect his voice. The way he held his mouth, his head, made his sounds higher. Also he had ventricular folds on his voice box that were unusual that he used although he had not had voice lessons to learn how to use them. Unfortunately, with all the touring he developed nodes on his voice box and in later years his voice, if over- used would crack. He was told not to perform Live Aid and went out and gave the performance of his life. It was said they stole the show. They were on the downside of their career, and this brought them back on the map. Sadly, when on tour, Freddie got the diagnosis...Aids. But, when he got sick, he had rested voice and could still sing those notes. He was a performer until the end. And we still have Freddie's wonderful voice with us.
This is far and away one of my favorite Queen songs ever. This one and Invisible Man. I freaking love the Mr Fahrenheit and Supersonic parts. Such a great way with words. This song is just such a feel good ride. ^_^
He was well educated..the same as the rest of the band......he grew up with docter who..and star trek..haha...he knew the way of the world.....Legend..we miss you.
Your smile said it all, that's the Queen effect, love it.
Indeed.😄

They all were.
@@chertzle - *are.
Freddie was Queen No question about it! Ofc Brian, John and Roger too. Best band ever! So outstanding🎉
He was absolutely fantastic. I don't think I've ever met anyone who disliked Queen.
Loved queen since I was very little my biggest regret is never seeing Freddie live .

Thanks for the explanation! I honestly had no idea who she was until now! Thanks!
Thank you. I can't believe how many reactors don't know of Lady Godiva.
And out respect for her and the fact she was doing it for their wellbeing the people turned around and did not watch. Or so the story goes.
It's also where the term "peeping Tom" comes from as Tom apparently had a lil look at her riding past 👀 😂
Thank you for introducing a 52yo black man to this song. “They call me Mr. Fahrenheit”, classic!! 😂🖖🏿
Seriously hope you've listened to more Queen since this. Truly iconic, singular band.
Freddie was THE man. Loved him and Queen. He had so much charisma and sex appeal. Unfortunately he was stopped by his horrible death. My heart broke 💔 that day. I still miss him so much. He was a supersonic man. 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Love you Freddie. May you rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤

yea. everybody loves the Mr Farenheit line. awesome. I use this song to teach my poetry class metaphor, simile and hyperbole.

You'd enjoy "Somebody To Love" live in Montreal and "Queen Live Aid". They stole the show.

And their performance at live aid brought alot of them back,and new fans
But a lot of us stuck with them. Most true Queen fans didn't give a rats ass. Besides it was always there if you cared to read the subtext.
Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe -Barcelona Watch Queen Live at Wimbley first and then Freddy and Montserrat mind blown trust me
Love you smiling! This is what Queen evokes.

Music is the best!
Brooks & Dunn “Believe”......A MUST!!!!
Jason's right, you have to react to Believe
This song never fails to bring the biggest smiles...it's such a happy song. Great reaction!!!
You can look it up online, this song has been voted the happiest song on Earth!! Love your reaction!
Queen live at Wembley!!!
You should review Queen's performance at Live Aid. It is considered the best live rock performance in history.
Lady Godiva was an ancient English noblewoman from the 10th century who famously rode naked on a horse through the streets of Coventry :D

They were way ahead their time
You are so fun to listen to music with.....love how you react.....so amazing
Dude its cool when someone sees with a fresh pair of ears...
Brilliant Song..... Spread your wings Another mover!

Try 'Somebody To Love by Queen - Live in Montreal' :) You will be amazed!
You are in for a hell of a ride with Queen! Enjoy it, I'll gladly come along.
Their stage presence was unprecedented. Freddie had control over a crowd nobody has ever had before or since. Watch Live Aid
Freddie did more moving about stage in other performances. You should watch Quuen's set at Live Aid.
one of Freddie only no 9 uk and the US hated it!
I love it
now their second most successful song
classed as the happiest/feel good song!
You're right about the lyrics. I really had not thought about it like the way you said. Thanks !!
One of my all time favorite songs ever!!!
Please, please, please react to Somebody To Love live in Montreal 1981. You won’t be disappointed. Roger Taylor the drummer has an outstanding voice as well

"Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together)". I keep trying to describe this and failing, so let me just say "love song" and let you discover the rest.
"The Prophet's Song". (Brian's equivalent to Freddie's "Bohemian Rhapsody' only longer and even crazier. You'll love it.)
Keep digging!

You need to show the concert for Live AID. ALL OF IT MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS AND YES QUEEN WAS THERE. THE WHOLE SHOW WAS 🔥. MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 💕BRANDI MODRAK 💕❤
You need to see them in the 1985 Live Aid Full set.
Here's a fun facts about Freddie since you are so into Queen. He has a serious overbite because he has extra teeth and would NOT get it fixed, afraid it would affect his voice. The way he held his mouth, his head, made his sounds higher. Also he had ventricular folds on his voice box that were unusual that he used although he had not had voice lessons to learn how to use them. Unfortunately, with all the touring he developed nodes on his voice box and in later years his voice, if over- used would crack. He was told not to perform Live Aid and went out and gave the performance of his life. It was said they stole the show. They were on the downside of their career, and this brought them back on the map. Sadly, when on tour, Freddie got the diagnosis...Aids. But, when he got sick, he had rested voice and could still sing those notes. He was a performer until the end. And we still have Freddie's wonderful voice with us.
If you want to hear a whole crowd singing it look it up on a greenday gig it's fantastic.
This is far and away one of my favorite Queen songs ever. This one and Invisible Man. I freaking love the Mr Fahrenheit and Supersonic parts. Such a great way with words. This song is just such a feel good ride. ^_^
He was well educated..the same as the rest of the band......he grew up with docter who..and star trek..haha...he knew the way of the world.....Legend..we miss you.
