This song was the one that propelled Queen into star status. It sort of set a style that became theirs, it showed what Freddie could do with music. Love it! There isn’t anyone like Queen! The four of them made fabulous music together! Thanks for a great reaction!
Freddie, who wrote "Killer Queen" once explained: “It’s about a high-class call girl. I’m trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That’s what the song is about, though I’d prefer people to put their interpretation upon it - to read into it what they like.” “Killer Queen” was the first Queen single to successfully ‘cross the pond’, becoming a top 20 hit in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a top 30 hit in Australia. Queen recorded "Killer Queen" after returning from their very first tour to the States (they accompanied Mott the Hoople on their American tour). Unfortunately, Queen's lead guitarist, Brian May developed hepatitis near the end of the tour and Queen had to bring him back to England. While Brian recovered in the hospital, the rest of the band went back into the studio. They recorded most of Killer Queen during this time. Brian worried that the band would replace him but he didn't need to worry. John Deacon, Queen's bass guitar player, covered for Brian by also playing the lead guitar so they could record the music track. The band made sure to leave space on the record for Brian to be able to insert his own iconic guitar solo when he felt better. BTW,, when the band would come to visit Brian in the hospital, they would bring a copy of what they were working on for him to hear. He was shocked when he initially heard the more progressive, lighter sound of " Killer Queen". It was so different from the heavier hard rock sound that they did on their first album. It might be seen as the beginning of Queen expanding into other musical arenas outside of rock. Queen has always been experimental with their music, constantly pushing the bounds.
Queen were an entity in their own right. Totally unique and no one has ever been close to their style. 4 musicians perfect at what they do, blended together to make perfection. Long live the queen, music that is. I still miss Freddie. They could never replace him, as they could never replace any one of them. It was all 4, or nothing. ❤
Since Brian made the guitar out of stuff in his house with his dad he could make it sound differently and John made the amp out of things he found in the garbage. Extraordinarily gifted all four. Great harmonies. Live it sounds just as good.
You really NEED to watch Queen live. While their studio work is amazing, their live performances are unbelievable! Here's a start. Liar Rainbow '74 White Queen Hammersmith Odeon '75 Somebody To Love Montreal '81 Live Aid '85 - an absolute MUST! Said to be the best live rock performance EVER!
I was going to say especially yes to Live Aid, but then I'd have to point out Somebody To Love, and then White Queen, and then... Queen were just too goddamn good live!
Brian's handmade guitar could make all kinds of sounds, Deacon the bass player built a special amp that also helped. Brian could make sounds like horns, even bagpipes. Great reaction
I find it incredible the kind of brains that were in that band. Freddie, with his multiple languages, multiple instruments, golden voice, and degree in graphic design and costume design, was the *least* educated of the bunch! John was definitely brilliant, Brian's probably close to a certified genius, (because how many people are rock stars who casually finish a PhD then do some work with NASA and the ESA? Besides Dexter Holland.), and Roger Taylor being very nearly a dentist is impressive too - it's not an easy field to get into, but he's no doubt happier as a drummer! But yeah, their super-creative analog effects in the studio were pretty amazing. The fact that they worked is even more amazing half the time! And some of those sounds that Roger could make with his voice...
Liar live at the Rainbow 74. Queen is so unique band with four songwriters , they have in their catalogue songs literally from every genre of the music
Such an unlikely mashup of Glam Rock, British Music Hall (Vaudeville), and Bubblegum Pop, could have only happened in the early 1970’s, and only with Queen. This is the song that crystallized their signature sound, and musically put them “on the map”.
Queen has a song for everyone. Brian’s guitar 🎸 red special is called the 5th member of Queen 🫅. If you want to hear Roger sing (drummer) I’m in Love with my Car 🚗 Montreal 81. You’ll be amazed at how he can sing. Queen has 3 singers & 4 songwriter’s, 3 had college degree’s. Roger had a bachelors degree in biology, John (Bass) how a degree in electronics engineering, Freddie graphic design, Dr Brian May (lead guitar) has a PHD in Astro physics he also at times works with NASA on different projects and one of the best guitarist in the world 🌍
This was the song that first introduced the 9 year old me to Queen. I remember watching it on Top Of The Pops on a Thursday evening, I sat with my mouth open in awe. They became my life long favourite band in an instant. I rushed out to buy their back catalogue with birthday and pocket money (allowance). When my eldest son told me they were having twin boys, I joked that they should call them Roger & Freddie. My future daughter-in-law said she loved the idea of Freddie. I now have identical twin grandsons named Jake & Freddie (sorry Rog). They were born 6 weeks early on the 21st anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death. A couple of years later my son married his lovely lady and she chose to walk up the aisle to Fat Bottomed Girls. Keep the Queen coming my friend, we are a loyal lot and love new reactions to songs we have loved for decades. Sending you love & respect, Helen the UK. xxx
Roger Taylor is the ultimate craftsman. Not only can he sing while blasting away at the drums, he also tunes his drums before each performance so that they sound exactly the way he wants them to.
Since Brian made his own guitar and John made an amp for it Brian could make his guitar make unique and extraordinary sounds. He said he liked to make the guitar "sing" like it had a voice. They are all geniuses with an incredible work ethic. This is a lip sync on a British music show called Top of the Pops. They didn't like to lip sync but it was required on this show. This song still, after all these years, sounds like no other song. It's perfection.
Thanks for your nice reactions... It is impossible not to fall in love with Freddie and Queen... He is such an interesting person... Check out "another one bites the dust" live at Montreal...
Yess... please react to this one live at Montreal...Freddie is "always" interesting, unique and of course very talented!!! Thank You for your reactions, Queen is the best! IMHO.
Hey GREG. Loved the reaction. This was the song that QUEEN started getting recognizes as a good band. It gave them a little success on the charts and we all know what happened after that just about a year later. Shall I say BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. I have a song for you. Try this song it's called LIAR. Do the live version from the 1974 Rainbow concert. You will absolutely love it. Thank you for doing QUEEN videos. Take care and have a great day and weekend. Your friend, QUEEN BEE 🐝🐝🐝🐝
John Deacon, the bass player, built a unique amp that Brian used to help his guitar make unusual sounds that other guitarists could never duplicate. John had advanced degrees in electronics.
Fun reaction! my pretty Freddie time frame. This video & song were how I was first introduced to QUEEN. "Killer Queen" -lyrics & melody are quite clever. Plus, you are correct in that Brian May's guitar often sounds like another voice in songs. Very lyrical when he needs it to be. Or he can power rock with the best of them. Enjoy.
LOL.. It's cool that you actually know that a record can actually skip like that if it's scratched. A lot of the younger generation don't know anything about vinyl.
Dr. May built that guitar with his dad. Couldn’t afford to buy one, fireplace mantel, old table, moms knitting needles, buttons sanded down. He can make that guitar do what ever he wants.
Good review you caught that Dr. Brian May the phenomenal guitarist and an astrophysicist said in his guitar solos he tried to emulate Freddie’s voice at times to meld the music. All four of the musical members of Queen were geniuses. Each had a number one hit - the only band that accomplished that. Freddie’s voice and songwriting is missed by everyone who ever heard it. It was so amazing hearing them live! Legends.
Death on Two Legs from A Night At The Opera, 1975. is one of queens hard rock punk nummers -try it out - it take some years to really enjoy it - I heard it first time in 1975 and was not taken in - but later on it became one of my fab. nummers because it is way of the "normal Queen sound" but the heat is still burning today when I feel like blasting my mind out :)
Queen was one of the greatest bands in the 70s and 80s. Did a concert in Rio de Janiero to 250,000 people! Freddie Mercury was the GOAT. Plenty of great Queen songs to react to!
thanks, Greg - how 'bout that unique sound.. without the technology and "autotune" stuff - hope to hear more Queen reactions from you... and yep, Roger was an amazing drummer/singer combo.. each member of this band was top-notch.. Freddie gets all the credit b/c his incredible vocals.. but without the others, he might not have had such a great showcase...
You are one of the only people i have known/seen who really gets what I mean when I think about Queen's talking guitar. I have thought that since i was 12, but never really had someone agree with me out loud...nice.
When Rock Stars would wear Fur jackets, sequins, tight pants, eye shadow and lip stick and It WAS COOL! Do not forget and all the babes or not they wanted.lolol
I heard you say on another reaction to keep sending suggestions. Put Credence Clearwater Revival, one of the top bands in the 70s. You could pick any of their songs. They're all great. Fortunate Son, Looking Out My Back Door, Born in the Bayou, Have You Ever Seen the Rain and one of my favorites I'll Put a Spell on You. You may not want to start this one before you catch up on the other suggestions you have because this is a deep rabbit hole. Have fun. I look forward to seeing your reaction to these guys. P.S. if you like the blues, try Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa, Live in Amsterdam - I'd Rather Go Blind.
Oh you are definitely getting attached to Queen!! It’s an addiction you don’t want to rehab from .. and Queen does not disappoint. Their discography is filled with different genres. All members of Queen are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame & Rock n Roll Hall of Fame so lots of music to explore. Check out COOL CAT & SOUL BROTHER. 🙏🏻
Hey bro, there are a few Queen song I would love to see you review: Who wants to live forever, Tie your mother down, one vision, stone cold crazy, these are the days of our lives, the show must go on and Khasoggi ship. All are different from one another. Keep it going , love the content.
Killer Queen was one song which was really out of the format that I usually write in, said Freddie in a 1974 interview. „Usually the music comes first, but the words came to me, and the sophisticated style that I wanted to put across in the song came first. No, I’d never really met a woman like that. A lot of my songs are fantasy. I wrote it in one night. I scribbled down the words in the dark one Saturday night and the next morning I got them all together and I worked all day Sunday and that was it.” If you listen to it attentively once again, you will notice, that Freddie was harmoninsing with himself. The performance is just lip synching, but extremely well done!
They all wrote songs but this was Freddies their first big hit No 2 uk No 12 Us their first to chart there. This was lip sync for top of pops uk chart show. They did 3 performance all together Earlier in the year 74 on their previous album Freddie seven seas was also on the show No 10 uk their first single to chart 75 Bo Rap No 1 for 9 wks they sent in a video!
Yes, this is the one that made them famous. This performance was from Top of the Pops and they told them to lip sync. They were upset about it. But, this was their big break. The song is quite complicated.
Here are a few good one to listen to. The well by Marcus king, anything by teddy swims, ksleo has some great one and ladtlyvtesky brothers are really awesome
I love your appreciation for queen bro .probably ther greatest band to put on a live show.i saw your reaction vid on live aid radio ga ga .yeah Freddie owned the stage and the crowd. What a band all of them band members are outstanding
You should watch the live aid show from 1985. Queen stole the show that night and helped get millions of dollars for live aid. The greatest show they ever put on. Watch it you will not be disappointed.
Really enjoy seeing your open-minded rock innocence meet these various geniuses. If you like hearing guitars 'talk,' then consider checking out Peter Frampton doing 'Do You Feel?' on *The Midnight Special.* In that song he is not using electronics to make those sounds. That's him and the guitar, analogue sound.
This song was the one that propelled Queen into star status. It sort of set a style that became theirs, it showed what Freddie could do with music. Love it! There isn’t anyone like Queen! The four of them made fabulous music together! Thanks for a great reaction!
Yep, Jamie - first one I heard.. may 14 yrs. old? Set me off on a life-long love affair... lol

Queen has always been experimental with their music, constantly pushing the bounds.
I've loved Queen since I was a kid (discovered them around 1978 maybe?) But I never knew this about the song- thanks for the info!
It’s why i love reading the comments: You get so much new information. Thank you!
@@larsbonzai I discovered Queen at 14..
If the song is about a high priced escort. Why the fuck would you think people should think what they like. Idk thats just stupid.
Thanks for this comment. Really enlightening

I think it’s hysterical that the whammy bar is one of his Mom’s knitting needles.
@@barrysiewert7386 Yeah, he's never replaced it, after how long?
Dr. Brian May is one of a kind!
Brian built that guitar with his dad. The range on it is incredible. It's called the red special. He still uses it today.
White Queen live at Hammersmith odeon please. Love your Queen reactions.
You really NEED to watch Queen live. While their studio work is amazing, their live performances are unbelievable!
Here's a start.
Liar Rainbow '74
White Queen Hammersmith Odeon '75
Somebody To Love Montreal '81
Live Aid '85 - an absolute MUST! Said to be the best live rock performance EVER!
ah yes those are def their best live performances
I was going to say especially yes to Live Aid, but then I'd have to point out Somebody To Love, and then White Queen, and then...
Queen were just too goddamn good live!
You have got to check out, "I'm going slightly mad!" An amazing video for sure!
Guaranteed to blow your mind…..Anytime 🎼🎵🎶

@@neuralmute all true. All 4 are amazing artists and brilliant people.
I always thought it sounded like bagpipes at the end of this song. Brian May and the Red Special can do anything!
Queen live aid!!
White Queen live. Great guitar and piano battle
Liar live at the Rainbow 74. Queen is so unique band with four songwriters , they have in their catalogue songs literally from every genre of the music
Hello from Cody wyoming! You're awesome keep it up! This is one of my favorite Queen songs and I am 51😁
Such an unlikely mashup of Glam Rock, British Music Hall (Vaudeville), and Bubblegum Pop, could have only happened in the early 1970’s, and only with Queen. This is the song that crystallized their signature sound, and musically put them “on the map”.
FYI, each member of Queen have written a Queen hit earning them each individually a place in Rock n Roll's Hall of fame. Now that's talent.
HOW MUCH DO WE LOVE THEM???OMG!!! SO MUCH!!
Somewhere on You Tube there is a video of Brian May talking about "Killer Queen" and what a complicated song it is.
Perfect song. All instruments just simply singing. So complex but created to be playful on our ears.
U have great ears to appreciate this masterpeace.
Appreciate how you Access
the Song's....Admirable !!!!

All musicians do a tune up before all performances🤩
Ain't nobody like Queen. Been a Queen fan since I was little. Freddie Mercury is still one of the my all time favorite singers.
It’s okay to get attached because we’ll be here to watch ❤️
He used to sell unique old clothes in a booth with Roger because they had no money.
Since Brian made his own guitar and John made an amp for it Brian could make his guitar make unique and extraordinary sounds. He said he liked to make the guitar "sing" like it had a voice.

Thank you! What a way to start the weekend. White Queen and March of the Black Queen songs from their older albums..great music❣👑🎶
Those are two of my very favorites! Best band to grace the stage IMHO 😊
Thanks for your nice reactions... It is impossible not to fall in love with Freddie and Queen... He is such an interesting person... Check out "another one bites the dust" live at Montreal...

You're a very good listener.
You just can’t go wrong with Queen… early, middle or late.. they’re amazing!! Thanks for a great reaction.
You can never get too attached to Queen. Do making of One Vision it's about MLK, or White Queen live at Hammersmith.
WHITE QUEEN live at Hammersmith...
Did you catch the word 'fastidious'? Freddie and his lyrics couldn't be beat! Queen, 4 special entertainers. Nice reaction. . .thanks!
John Deacon, the bass player, built a unique amp that Brian used to help his guitar make unusual sounds that other guitarists could never duplicate. John had advanced degrees in electronics.
So happy to see you enjoy Queen! I really like your reactions and keep rolling out Queen! Please and thank you Greg.

This was my 1st time seeing Queen in 1974. Freddie just gorgeous 💛
My favorite Queen song
This song brings back good memories for me. Thanks for this. Been many moons ago that Queen hit the airways.💖 loved them then and now.💖
LOL.. It's cool that you actually know that a record can actually skip like that if it's scratched. A lot of the younger generation don't know anything about vinyl.
You should try Queen “Another One Bites The Dust” live in Montreal next. It’s the best live version of that song.
Brian May's guitar makes some incredible sounds.
Oh lord you have got to hear Meatloaf bat out of hell absolutely a banger
Dr. May built that guitar with his dad. Couldn’t afford to buy one, fireplace mantel, old table, moms knitting needles, buttons sanded down. He can make that guitar do what ever he wants.
Good review you caught that Dr. Brian May the phenomenal guitarist and an astrophysicist said in his guitar solos he tried to emulate Freddie’s voice at times to meld the music.

It was so amazing hearing them live! Legends.
Hard to comprehend that 4 guys did it all, music and vocals, stadium sound, and they did it over and over and in every genre.
Brian’s “Red special” (his guitar) was hand made by Brian as a kid with some help from his dad. Crazy skills!
One of their best albums, I love Queen's early music. "You're My Best Friend" is another good one!
I just love your reactions!!!! If you haven't done Queen's "You're My Best Friend", I highly recommend it. Great reaction, as always.
Gracias por tu reacción 👌
Killer Quenn es un deleite 👑💫🌠✨
Death on Two Legs from A Night At The Opera, 1975. is one of queens hard rock punk nummers -try it out - it take some years to really enjoy it - I heard it first time in 1975 and was not taken in - but later on it became one of my fab. nummers because it is way of the "normal Queen sound" but the heat is still burning today when I feel like blasting my mind out :)
Great reaction. This was an ode to a high-priced call girl. :)
🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🔥🎶
Queen was one of the greatest bands in the 70s and 80s. Did a concert in Rio de Janiero to 250,000 people! Freddie Mercury was the GOAT. Plenty of great Queen songs to react to!
Your gonna trip when you hear we are the champions RIP freddy
You should hear Barcelona from Freddie and Montserrat Caballe
She was a high class call girl
thanks, Greg - how 'bout that unique sound.. without the technology and "autotune" stuff - hope to hear more Queen reactions from you... and yep, Roger was an amazing drummer/singer combo.. each member of this band was top-notch.. Freddie gets all the credit b/c his incredible vocals.. but without the others, he might not have had such a great showcase...
Home by Marc Broussard is another great one
The first Queen song I remember hearing was "Keep Yourself Alive." I bought this album when it arrived...was my first Queen album.
There miming on top of the pops
Please do Who Wants To Live Forever live at Wembley!
You are one of the only people i have known/seen who really gets what I mean when I think about Queen's talking guitar. I have thought that since i was 12, but never really had someone agree with me out loud...nice.
Queen were next level, ahead of their time, can I recommend "A kind of magic" official video.
When Rock Stars would wear Fur jackets, sequins, tight pants, eye shadow and lip stick and It WAS COOL! Do not forget and all the babes or not they wanted.lolol
That's muscle memory. ❤️✌️
Brilliant. Always my favourite. Brilliant lyrics.
I heard you say on another reaction to keep sending suggestions. Put Credence Clearwater Revival, one of the top bands in the 70s. You could pick any of their songs. They're all great.

Notice Freddie had black nail polish on his left hand....and Brian had white on his left hand......there’s no one like Queen ....EVER🤩
What I love about Queen…….they didn’t yell at me. No screaming. When he wanted to hit a high note he sang it. He was so great.
Freddie was a fashion major in college.
P.S. To me their best performance ever was the 1985 Live Aid Concert. No glitz or glamour just straight up Queen.
Hey bro, there are a few Queen song I would love to see you review: Who wants to live forever, Tie your mother down, one vision, stone cold crazy, these are the days of our lives, the show must go on and Khasoggi ship. All are different from one another. Keep it going
, love the content.
Thank You Greg! I Absolutely LOVE FREDDIE MERCURY!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Killer Queen was one song which was really out of the format that I usually write in, said Freddie in a 1974 interview. „Usually the music comes first, but the words came to me, and the sophisticated style that I wanted to put across in the song came first. No, I’d never really met a woman like that. A lot of my songs are fantasy. I wrote it in one night. I scribbled down the words in the dark one Saturday night and the next morning I got them all together and I worked all day Sunday and that was it.”
If you listen to it attentively once again, you will notice, that Freddie was harmoninsing with himself. The performance is just lip synching, but extremely well done!
If you want to hear the true beauty of Freddie…try You Take My Breath Away…live in Hyde Park, 1976. Just Freddie and a piano.
They all wrote songs but this was Freddies their first big hit No 2 uk No 12 Us their first to chart there.
This was lip sync for top of pops uk chart show. They did 3 performance all together
Earlier in the year 74 on their previous album Freddie seven seas was also on the show No 10 uk their first single to chart
75 Bo Rap No 1 for 9 wks they sent in a video!
So cool to watch you appreciating
So nice to see a young person react to the classics. Loved Freddie. RIP
You look like young Eddie Murphy 😆.
Very sophiscated song. Perfection. Like an expensive dessert at 5 star restaurant.
Yes, this is the one that made them famous. This performance was from Top of the Pops and they told them to lip sync. They were upset about it. But, this was their big break. The song is quite complicated.
The had a very special talent a once in an era mind-blowing
Go for Somebody To Love Ĺive to see Queen in full flight.
You definitely need to react to Queen’s Live Aid 1985 performance. Considered probably the greatest live performance of all time
Here are a few good one to listen to. The well by Marcus king, anything by teddy swims, ksleo has some great one and ladtlyvtesky brothers are really awesome
I love your appreciation for queen bro .probably ther greatest band to put on a live show.i saw your reaction vid on live aid radio ga ga .yeah Freddie owned the stage and the crowd. What a band all of them band members are outstanding
Queen was and is (So glad Adam Lambert is continuing the legacy!) such an immense experience musically, emotionally. We're so lucky we have them
this is one of their early masterpieces. please watch one of their last ones: "innuendo" (official video)
Hey, you 🙃
You should watch the live aid show from 1985. Queen stole the show that night and helped get millions of dollars for live aid. The greatest show they ever put on. Watch it you will not be disappointed.
yeah that echoey thing at end is something great.. one of my favorites.... they are sooo perfect live... glad you enjoyed it!
Roger Taylor the most under rated voice in the band. He could have been out front in any other band but this one.
Really enjoy seeing your open-minded rock innocence meet these various geniuses. If you like hearing guitars 'talk,' then consider checking out Peter Frampton doing 'Do You Feel?' on *The Midnight Special.* In that song he is not using electronics to make those sounds. That's him and the guitar, analogue sound.
