From its inception in the early seventies, Queen was known for its ability to transform itself and bring together diverse and eclectic soundworlds. From glam rock to soul, rhythm and blues to opera - nothing seemed off limits. In 1980, they proved that again, combining the hottest sounds of disco with their signature classic rock sound, they created a track that would captivate generation of musicians and listeners alike -- “Another One Bites the Dust”
The album was released on June 30, 1980, and “Another One Bites the Dust” followed as a single on August 22 that same year. The sound of the song was a drastic departure for them. The band credits Michael Jackson for encouraging them to release it as a single. Mercury explained: “John introduced this riff to us during rehearsal that we all immediately thought of disco, which was very popular at the time. We worked it out and once it was ready, played it for Michael. I knew we had a hit as he bobbed his head up and down. ‘That's it, that's the gravy. Release it and it will top the charts,’ he said. So we did and it did.”
Topping the charts was just the start. It hit the number one spot in the US, Canada, Spain, and Israel, and the top ten in the UK, Switzerland, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, Australia and Austria. It even hit number two on the US Billboard Hot Disco Singles Chart and the Hot Soul Singles Chart. It spent 15 weeks in the Billboard top 10 in 1980 - the longest running hit single of the year, and in 2012, was credited as the band’s top selling single with over 7 million copies sold. It won an American Music Award for Favorite Rock Single and a Grammy Nomination for best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
But the song has inspired so much more than that - it has been constantly covered and sampled, as well as appeared in TV shows, commercials and movies, and like “We Will Rock You” and “We are the Champions” it has also become a popular song for major sporting event, each time continually reintroducing the song to new generations of listeners. In its fusion of some of the biggest sounds of the era (disco and classic rock) it somehow managed to create an almost timeless sound, and establish its impressive legacy in the history of popular music.

What other songs do you think changed music? Let me know by commenting below!
Well if we're talking Queen... Bohemian Rhapsody!? When is that coming?
Songs i would say from the top of my head Billie Jean ?
Every track from Queen's Greatest Hits 1 and 2... and all the rest ☺
"All Right Now" by Free. To me, it was the beginning of the classic rock sound of the 70s.
The theme from ""The Third Man" on zither.
(yes, I've just seen Get Back)
From one die-hard Queen fan to another: I'm so glad Queen sees the value in not blocking their music for you (and Rick Beato). Great choice of songs because it's so completely different in every way than so many of the rest of their amazing hits. Thank you for the opportunity to go along for the ride. Long live Queen!
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
Of course, Queen have been about the 💵 from the very beginning.
Id say Queen saved my life on several occasions, dark places with no one but them to listen to, true friends
Thanks for sharing that! I hear you. Many times A Night At The Opera kept me inspired and positive
Same
When this song came out, I remember hearing this song on black radio stations in Hartford, Connecticut as well as Top 40 and rock stations. Everyone loved it
As a black kid in the Detroit area, I had no idea who Queen was until the song got airplay on black radio. Man, it was funky.
Thanks ever so much for sharing that!
This song was everywhere and never tired of hearing it. Was huge here in the Caribbean too. Was today years old re: discovering tie-in with disco and Chic's "Good Times" influence. Then to find MJ encouraged them? #magic 😍
I've banged around a lot of these channels that pull songs apart. If there is one of the that I would recommend to anyone, this is it. It goes far enough "into the weeds" for musicians to hold the interest of musicians, and yet not too far as to be accessible to the casual listener. Well played!
Wow! Thanks for the amazing endorsement Bruce!
Yes! Love Rick Beato but the ‘ weeds’ are here 😂✌🏼
The mention of "Crazy Little Thing..." reminded me of a time when I was working in a music shop (media not instruments) and they asked me for Elvis' Greatest Hits. I showed them all the hits collections we had, and they were aghast at the fact that "Crazy Little Thing..." wasn't on any of them. Now this wouldn't have surprised me as much had they been a young kid, but this was someone who was old enough to have seen Elvis live back in his early days. I had to bring the song up on a listening post just to prove to him that it was indeed Queen. (Google wasn't quite a thing yet.) Nevermind the fact that Elvis was long dead before the song was written. This just goes to show how adaptive Queens sound is. I mean the wrote the best Elvis song that was never recorded by Elvis.
Even I thought Crazy Little Thing was a "new" song by Elvis when I first heard it in 1979. Queen were amazingly versatile on their instruments!
Another One Bites The Dust was the first music I bought with my own money. I now find joy on my Bass ukulele. Thank you.
That’s wonderful! Thanks for sharing
I loved Queen growing up - there was always a song or two of theirs that would be played at our church dances - this one, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, etc. They are so talented and my daughter and I saw Bohemian Rhapsody (we always sing that song together whenever it comes on the radio) a few years ago when it came out and just loved the movie. Each of them were magnificent in their own right but Freddie and May were extra special.
Thanks ever so much Jed! Always great to read your comments!
Queen is great! I'm glad you only hurt your wrist, and didn't bite the dust. Everything about Queen is awesome, Freddie is a genious! Brian May is also a genious and a great guitarist! Freddie is an amazing singer, such a vocal range and talent.
Thanks for your great support!
First time I realised Deacon plays the funky part I was shocked. Amazingly versatile player
Same, mind blown
One of several Queen songs that stood out as being unlike anything else in the charts - up there with tracks like "Rock On" and "Walk On The Wild Side".
Agreed! Both great examples!
In 1980 I saw Queen play an arena show in Detroit right when this song was high in the charts. It was also the unofficial theme song of the Detroit Lions football team that year, who for once were having a good season. I remember the crowd singing along very loudly during the refrains. Fantastic show!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
If doctors find your song life-saving, then there's no shadow of a doubt that it's a masterpiece.
Yes, indeed!
First I was afraid (pause)
I was petrified
@@YearsOfLeadPoisoning I'm glad you will survive!
@@YearsOfLeadPoisoning😂✌🏼
I was never a big Queen fan, never took the bait should I say. Then one day about 5 years ago I was sat in traffic with the missus on our way to work around 9am and Radio Merseyside did this thing called Stripped , I think. It was where they would take a song, strip the music off it and just air the vocal. Anyway on this occasion it was Freddie's turn - so we are sat in the car listening to this vocal and I turned to the missus and said to here 'wow, this guy can sing. I never knew'. Since that day I've become a huge Queen fan. Another great presentation by our Warren.
Glad you joined us in the love of all things Queen! Haha thanks for the great comment and story! happy new year!
Queen got me into music, still my favorite band with Michael.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Queen and the Scorpions were my favorite bands back in the late 70's early 80's. Queen Live killers was the first album I ever bought. So much great music and such a tragedy to lose Freddie.
It's still one of my favorite songs after all these decades. It's amazing.
Fantastic! Thanks ever so much for sharing
Yes Queen was amazing!! I never heard of a single person who didn't like Queen.
I’m a huge fan!! HUGE!! Real people love Queen and always have!!
@@Producelikeapro I am a big fan too!!
@@jefffiore7869 marvellous
The Game is *my* Queen record. I knew the band and loved a bunch of their songs but that record landed at just the right time for me. It's so sonically and musically rich and wide that it really expanded my musical palette. It's got a couple of dance songs, some rockers, a beautiful sad song, and "Save Me" which is everything I love about Queen in one amazing song. Thanks for this, Warren!
Agreed! Masterpiece of an album!!
Great video. Queen make the definitive argument for why the concept of "professional" music criticism is irrelevant. Their legacy is unmatched...long live Queen!
Agreed 100%!
Between the tunes: Play The Game, Dragon Attack, Save Me…among others…this record had them sounding like a “raw, working band.” Stripped away were the over the top operatic sections. They’d championed that by now and were moving on. Like a successful rock band should, they were always evolving. Pushing any boundary that was in front of them. I’ll love this band until my last day…and beyond.
Agreed 100%! Amazing band and an incredible album
John Deacan is an underrated writer for Queen. Some of my favorite tracks are from John
I’m a huge fan of his writing! Spread Your Wings, I Want To Break Free, You’re My Best Friend and of course this song are all amazing
This was THE song that made me a music fanatic and, eventually, a musician. And of course, a lifelong Queen fan. Great video!
Thanks ever so much
as an immense fan of Queen, you nailed it with saying that The Game is probably their best album in the sense that not only is it extremely diverse but also, it has quite possible THE nastiest (in a good way) grooves ever laid to tape. I'm talking about Dragon Attack. That aside, Queen was one of those unique bands who could put out an album like Hot Space, which was heavily panned back when it came out in 1982, but now is actually respected in some fashion for their willingness to try something else different and not be afraid to have a misfire. Long Live Queen and definitely Long Live Freddie!
This was a staple at the roller rink. Queen were a staple in my life. Roger Taylor once said, "coming back to Queen, is like going home to mother".
I remember this vividly as a 12 y/o in 1980! It was ALL over the radio here and on Countdown EVERY week!
Thank you so much for this! Impressive!
Just like the rest of your channel, wich I just discovered today and subbed.
I'm 50 years old now. Back in 1986 I learned through a newspaper article that I was a huge Queen fan. How come? Wel, the article mentioned all the hits, Killer Queen, Champions, Bicycle, Crazy Little Thing, Dust, Radio GaGa...etc. I knew all those songs and loved them, yet never knew they were all from the same band! (Yes, you may hit me!) I instantly vowed to become a Queen fan and that I wanted to have everything they ever recorded. And so happened. I estimate that I've listened to Queen for about 20.000 hours until today.
And since some 20 years I record cover versions together with a friend of mine. Most of the time reeeaaally old stuff. Singing was (and is) my main passion and when I was 15, all I wanted was to sing just like Freddie Mercury. Useless to say: that's bloody impossible. But it did raise the bar high for me learning how to sing! Along the way I learned to play guitar, keys/piano, bass and drums. All autodidactic by the way. My mate plays mainly guitar and also some bass. And he's a sound engineer.
Back in 2006 he came up with the idea to cover this song...Another One Bites The Dust. He's more a Beatles fan but he loves the Game album and knows the Queen hits as well of course. I asked him if he'd gone mad. But we did it...well: at least we tried. Watching this video, I finally understand what we all did wrong back then and that's even apart from the fact that I couldn't possibly reproduce the insanely high chest voice Freddie has in this song. I think it's the hardest Queen song to sing of all time! I ended up singing it like Freddie used to sing it live.
I love how you guys really got in detail about the instruments. It's actually pretty unbelievable that a immensely huge Queen fan for over 35 years like me has learned some brand new things and facts about AOBTD from this video, but hey: thanks a lot!! :-)
I read through the comments a bit and some people mention Fun It from the Jazz album as some fore-runner to AOBTD. I must say I agree on that. Roger's drum sound is quite similar in that one and the really odd part is that he's the one who wrote it. Really love that track! I would absolutely LOVE a similar video like this one on Dragon Attack. I understand that's not really possible because it hasn't been released as a single. If I have a suggestion on another Queen song that changed music, it's quite obviuous: Bo Rhap of course! And as a real Queen fan you also must know The March Of The Black Queen, featured on the Queen II album that actually is a kind of forecast on Bo Rhap.
In later years, I also got into different bands and artists like Metallica, Beatles, ELO, Supertramp, 10CC, Joe Satriani and many more, but my first and biggest love has always been Queen.
Oh and may I add just one more suggestion to songs that changed music: I'm Not In Love by 10CC. An absolute milestone in recording with the backingtrack consisting of mainly hundres of voices! My mate and I were crazy enough some years ago to reproduce that one, being the first ever to make a coververson using the same recording techniques creating tape loops and creating a backingtrack with 312 voices singing 'Aaaah'. That one turned out a lot better than our AOBTD cover back in 2006! :-)
WAAAAH! Oh I'm so sorry! I just looked at the suggested video's on the right side of my screen and I see now that you've already done that on I'm Not In Love! Splendid!! Thanks!! I'm gonna click that one right away...now! :-)
Well..sorry for the long story! Hope you somehow enjoyed reading it! And again: thans a LOT for this splendid video!
Greetings!
Pascal Smit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Thanks ever so much for sharing your story! I remember feeling that way about Bowie, I went to see him live and I knew every word to every song! Queen will always be my favourite band!!
Awesome! More Queen please! It would be amazing to see you go through the mixes of a number of the top tracks from early and especially late Queen. Maybe a video on recording and mixing Freddie's iconic vocals?
Absolutely! Can't get enough Queen!
Hi Warren, this is my first ever UA-cam comment and so I think it's more than appropriate to congratulate you for the amazing series, and the channel of course, but also and most of all to thank you for teaching so much about music, the Bob Marley episode for example was such a mind opener. Thank you for being my music teacher. Hope you get well soon, and have a merry Xmas. PS: can you do a Fleetwood Mac episode or a song from rumours? Ty
Wow! Thanks ever so much your great comment! I'm so glad to be able to help! Yes, I love Fleetwood Mac!
+1 on fleetwood mac
Such a great album made under such tension
Thanks Warren, loved your passion in this video, and nice you picked this over the obvious bohemian rhapsody choice!
Je decouvre avec suprise que queen n'est pas seulement un groupe a succes pour un simple auditeur, mais aussi une machine d'integration des musiciens !
Ces gens sont rares.
I admittedly laughed when Jamie popped up with a Brian May guitar and Vox amp in the background. I said aloud, "Is that a six pence in his hand?" And then he says, "I'm also using a six pence." Perfect :)
I'm still gutted I never got to see Queen live, such amazing individual talent, and yet the group was even better than the sum of its parts.
I agree, I never saw them with Freddie!
I remember Deacon John well. Excellent! As far as other artists/songs to cover, Supertramp would be interesting. Obviously Breakfast in America was huge, but their earlier records were also worthy of some note. Cheers!
Yes, great idea Tim! Huge Supertramp fan!
Loved the intricate breakdown of each instrument, and how each one together created a rock, funk sound unlike anything I'd heard before at the time. Love the deep dive into the history of QUEEN. Each member contributed to the band in ways that will never be matched. A very detailed video in every aspect, from song creation to instrumentation.
Thanks ever so much Cindy!!
I love this track. It is super recognizable and mixes really well with so many other tracks when I DJ. I've mixed in Rapture from Blondie, and Block Rockin' Beats from The Chemical Brothers.
I so enjoy listening to a Brit gushing on his own favorite music. But more importantly I appreciate that they don’t forget who they learned from. Credit is important..
Yes!
@@Producelikeapro love ya bro
I finished work for the day, grabbed a beer out of the fridge, then saw a notification for this video. Your timing is impeccable. Thank you, this was great. :)
Oh, and I was today years old when I learned that John Deacon played most of the parts on this track!
I know! Amazing to know John did so much!
I consider "Fun It" (off of "Jazz") an obvious predecessor to "ABTD". It wasn't the first time Queen had dabbled in disco-ish funk-rock, though the Chic influence is also very obvious here. Great track!!
Yes, I love the Jazz album!
If we're going on a Queen spree, I'd love to hear about The Miracle and Innuendo albums - post touring so they get widely overlooked now, but have a poignance
There will be more! HUGE fan!!!
I was amazed to learn that those "synthesizer" sounds came from a guitar!
Agreed 100%!
Most of the fx sounds were likely done using a tape delay unit. We used to mess with them at the music store back then and we got these cool and crazy sounds. Then the Queen song came out and I was like: ah ha!
Tony Franklin who demos the bass is an amazing bass player, especially on fretless. He has a wonderful channel and is a lovely guy. I highly recommend Tony's former band, Blue Murder, with Carmine Appice and John Sykes from Whitesnake.
Yes! Agreed 100%!
Deacon indeed wrote 'Spread Your Wings', one of my favourite Queen songs. ❤️
Masterpiece
I once put all John Deacon's Queen songs onto a single album on an mp3 player. The diversity of his songwriting is quite something. Thanks for another interesting video Warren.
8:06 Tony is right! The isolated bass track is available on UA-cam and you can clearly hear that classic Stingray sizzle
Thanks ever so much for sharing
OMG my favorite band and a absolutely great song from John Deacon, the secret weapon of queen
Yes and YES!! A band of many amazing talents!
Queen played a big part in my, virtually non existent, music career
The very first album I bought was Sheer Heart Attack, I can remember the entire act of buying it, even to the point that Freddie Mercury wearing black fingernail polish was the deciding factor in my purchase
However it’s the opening track, Brighton Rock, which is entirely responsible for me wanting to play guitar
After a few years of practice I became an entirely mediocre guitarist and switched to bass and John Deacon has always been amongst my favourite bassists ever
Thanks ever so much for sharing! Yes, love John Deacon’s bass playing! Very inspirational
So glad you mentioned that you'll be looking at ELO. :P
Absolutely
I just saw the comercial of the pizza guy what he did when he saw the Police and went directly to look for the song, I been listening to it the whole day! Listen how the song was written that was my era beautiful music beautiful song!!
I lost touch with Queen after Sheer Heart Attack, but I remember this been stuck to the radio when it was out, as always I learnt something did not know about the gtr parts! Thanks Warren!
Thanks ever so much David!
Jazz is still my desert island album, and i think Fun It on side 2 was a precursor to Another One Bites The Dust. AOBTD was my introduction to the band, and they became, as you said, BEYOND my favourite band. sadly, while i was raised overseas, we moved to america in late 1983 where Queen was very out of style, and everybody was all hung about Freddie being.... well, Freddie. it wasn't until Wayne's World came out when everybody was suddenly a Queen fan "again", like they never left. smh.
Queen was, in my mind, like Rush; a TRUE progressive band. every album went somewhere else, and there was clear development across their careers. i came from a classical household as well, but Queen was the rock through that window pane. i was very young and had already been taking drum lessons for a while, but the moment i heard Queen, it all fell into place and i knew what i was going to do with my life. much to the chagrin of my father, lol.
thanks for highlighting this "turning point" song in my life.
The first song I learned on bass, my second instrument, around 1997.
Same for me too!
@@leefchapman hell yeah
Probably the first bass line I played as well! Haha
Got this when it came out (graduated high school in 1980), also saw them in Boston on that tour. Freddie was the ultimate showman - and a LOUD show. Your right about new generations - my 10 yr old loves Queen can you believe it? Just the other day was looking for my Game album seemed to have misplaced it I'll have to get another. Also a huge ELO fan so looking forward to some videos there!
that bass 🖤
Yes!!
Once I got to meet Brian May after one Queen+Paul Rodgers concert…. what a kind and mellow gentleman he is!
That’s wonderful to hear
Great video again Warren. Your love and enthusiasm for Queen is infectious.
Thank you!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, I’m such a huge fan!!
Wow sir. This is possibly one of the best informational queen documents with some new interesting information, instead of the same old stuff I’ve seen for so many years. Great to finally hear someone mention the difference in rogers drum sounds especially up until that point. It was also a point in time where Freddie’s voice really started to lower into the gruff thang he was go for as well as smoking about 1000 cigarettes an hour into regimen as well haha. His voice never went back towards that’s super silky sweet tone until sadly the final couple albums and I’d say that had a lot to do with cutting down on the cigs trying to prolong his life. Thanks for this amazing piece of history, really done sooo well! It takes a super deep queen fan to light up another queen dork. They are and will always will be my fav band of all time, being my first band I fell in love with as a kid too, and I light up the same way talking queen just as I do see you here! Thanks so much I hope your wrist is getting better. Take care. Ps. Maybe you could go through the live killers era live show queen and talk about how different their live sound was to their meaty album queen style sound. Also, I’d love to hear the live killers album remixed with less of that live efx queen tinty sound they had too…. Hehe I love that sound too.
His voice wasn't actually lower, his voice just gained a lot more weight, colour, depth and power. It just sounds lower to lay person, he was actually singing higher. Freddie sang higher in the 80's then in the 70's. On Another One Bites The Dust he sings an E5 note in full chest voice. I have never seen another singer who could sing that high in full chest voice. It takes a huge amount of power to be able to do that. Later on his voice lost power when he was sick, that is why he sounded similar to his early years. Freddie is one of the few singers who had a voice that became higher as he aged.
@@ZENOBlAmusicYes ! TY as always
This is quite simply a master class on a master piece. Superb across the board. Thank you all so much.
Thanks ever so much Allan!
Queen are my favourite band as well
I never noticed the similarities between Good Times and Another One Bites the Dust
It’s the three E notes on the Bass in a row which have the similarities
you forgot Deakey's "I want to break free"! another phenomenal tune! Apart from that, "News of the World" is in my opinion underrated, songs like "Sheer Heart Attack" and "It's Late", man, awesome material!
Love ‘it’s late’!! That middle section! That huge Drum full that comes back out into the slower groove! Amazing
It was closer to funk with that rhythm guiter and thick bass..than the lighter disco beat.
Wow, what an amazing breakdown of this song! I saw Marc Martel and his band The Ultimate Queen Celebration performing this live and I went a little bazonkers (sorry, my friends beside me!)! The energy, that beat, what a mind-blowing vibe!! One thing to hear it in my ears, a whole different level experiencing it live!
No need to apologize! 😂
It's one thing to hear the recording of this song for the first time and fall in love with it, but it is also special to hear it performed live, and there are few opportunities to get that experience nowadays.
Marc is an amazing singer and songwriter. Very cool to see him get mentions!
I listen for that funckystrumming guitar part .
I wish it came in sooner but then the effect would be so much less.
It really gets the shoulders pulsing and blends with the vocal delivery so well.
Another one from your youth...Mack and Musicland was a great combo for Queen. Good one WH! Plus Franklin on bass Jeebus!
Thank you so so much Freddie, Roger, John, Brian and Warren !
Haha thanks Louis!
One of my favourite songs of all time, another song that changed music has got to be ‘pretty vacant’ by The Sex Pistols, thanks Warren
I really dig these reports. Could you highlight anything by Rush? I hope you heal marvelously well.
Marvelous idea!
We share a very similar taste Warren. My Queen upbringing was the exactly the same. I love the Game and the best track for me was Sail Away Sweet Sister. So sweet and cleverly written.
Fantastic! Yes, I love that album!
I'm in south Texas but ima try and start to say" marvelously"and "lovely".
Oughta throw my "mates" for a loop....
Haha yes, soon everyone will be saying marvellous
Fantastic!
Best episode yet, mate.
My favourite band too.
I'm channelling Fred, Brian, Roger and John, poorly, with every note I play or sing! :D
Oh and Paul, John, George and Ringo. :p
I lived in England from the summer of 78 to the summer of 79 while growing up. I had heard Queen before, but my first real introduction was when my sister got me Live Killers for either my birthday or Christmas. I wore it out and immediately dove into their back catalog. Their musical diversity was what I really loved about them. I do love The Game, but I think either Queen II or Sheer Heart Attack are by far my favorites.
those drums are like bliile jean drums. so unique. queen was such an incredible treasure. their audio engineersare the stuff of legend as well. nice vid!
hope you do good times as well.
Agreed. My most beloved band too. I had this track played for me after I had my head 'pugilled' in by Rhino on the TV series Gladiators. Despite the concusion I still love it. Thanks for the new knowledge that it was possibly about the Valentines Day Massacre. I love your work sir. Many thanks .. m
Keep doing what you're doing. Awesome.
Thanks ever so much
First time I heard this, and was told it was Queen, I cannot believe it! I have always known Queen as a hard rock band, then this? Later on it planted a seed on my brains to be an eclectic person, no genre is better than the other, as long as the music is honestly done, it doesn't matter what style it is! Thanks to Queen for planting that seed. Warren, you mentioned the album was mastered at Sterling, funny mine is mastered at Allen Zentz.
The B7sus4 chord at 27:52 is the same as the intro chord on Pixies tune “here comes your man” 🙌
Cool chord
Very cool! Thanks ever so much
Hi Warren! Thanks for this video! Queen - it's a band that is always a pleasure to talk about in a good company, a never-ending era.
I remember in my childhood in my uncle's house I watched the videocassette with all the Queen's music videos, I believe they were ripped from somewhere, over and over again. Now when I'm a father myself I understand that perhaps it was not the best videos for a child, but damn... Whole my life, I mean really whole my life I discover Queen over and over again from a new side all the time. When I listen to their music I am always amazed by the creativity of the songs, how are they different from each other, and how it sounds still fresh so I never get tired of listening to their songs! Actually, Bohemian Rhapsody - it was the only movie I watched in the cinema by going there alone by the reason and I was super happy. I know that this movie has its own fans and haters, it's not perfect but who cares, it's damn good even for one reason - it's full of the Queen's music! I produce electronic music only so people are quite often surprised when I say that I'm a huge fan of the Queen. It's not just the best band for me. Queen - is really a band that comes thru all my life and it's a big part of it actually!
Excuse me for this kind of long read, but that's your video woke up my nostalgic feelings! Thanks!
Thanks ever so much for your great comment! I hear you! Queen will always be my favourite band!
Love your comments bc Queen is the background music for my life✌🏼🥰
I LOVE THIS. Thank you. Have you considered making a video about Tears For Fears, EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD? This was THE song when I was 16 (in 1985). Peace.
Rogers’ drums remind me here of that deadened snare drum sound on The Wall. Nick Masons’ take on ABITW Pt. 2 (the familiar radio hit) has that real dead dry sound and it somehow works! In fact, you do a segment on Echoes, from Meddle. Fantastic track I’m sure you agree.
Yes, both songs were influenced by Chic and the Disco sound. Definitely more Pink Floyd coming up!
Another one... of their masterpieces. Great breakdown. You can never go wrong with Queen ;)
Thanks very much
I had just moved to the Mission District in San Francisco to go to college and recall distinctly it being played from boomboxes in the park behind my brother's apartment. When I moved to the Castro District a month or so later it came booming out of the discos along Castro Street at all hours of the day. A classic. Perhaps a special episode on the influence of disco on rock music in the 70s and 80s. For example "Miss You" by The Stones. "Shakedown Street" by The Dead, "Heart of Glass" by Blondie, etcetera.
Great to have Tony Franklin demonstrating the bass line...thanks Warren...excellent video
And this one is HUGE, thank you Warren! And for all the guests who bring us the song closer :)
Thanks ever so much Ady! You Rock!!
I think today's kids/teenagers have such varied interests that they listen to a song today from let's say Queen(don't realise they have been around since the 80's/90's) and then go back and listen to their back catalogue to get to know the band what they are about and what kind of other music they had produced. These are the days is another great song very under rated.
It is to be expected that kids wouldn't know about Queen, now that Rap and Hip-Hop have supplanted rock's place of importance. Then I get a big grin on my face when they first realize that so many great hooks they've heard all their lives were created by that band.
I share your enthusiasm completely. I was 12; my 2nd year learning how to play drums, and this along with Gary Numan Pleasure Principle, Pete Townshend Empty Glass, and many other current British gems, was in frequent rotation and studied very closely. I hope that you cover other songs on The Game, Play the Game for starters, as every moment is a unique treasure.
Thanks for your comment! I love the Game! Such a huge album!
Bloody love you! haha. You're like that mate that you've not seen in 20 years. And always a pleasure. Great vid as always fella.
Thanks ever so much
6:30 "I said a hip, hop, hippy to the hippy the hip hip a hop, a rock it out, baby Bubba, to the bang bang boogie, now boogie to the boogie the beat..."
'Good Times' to remember and sweet as a 'Sugar Hill'
Great video of queen’s classic song 🎶
Thank you
@@Producelikeapro 👍
Epic tune, I was 7 when this was released so I new nothing about the changes of music at all. But I never forgot that reverse Piano. I just realized that technique (i'm still a noob) in my video 'A Simple Piano'. Easy to do in Ableton, but they probably cut up tapes! Awesome :)
Hi Warren. I love your take on one of Queen's greatest songs. However I wouldn't say "it's a song that changed the world," as it was always a little derivative of Good Times by Chic. Now that was a song that changed the world. However I do like the way you acknowledge Chic's song, and so did John Deacon at the time. Two great songs. Other great songs from this era you could talk about are Staying Alive by the Bee Gees and September by Earth, Wind and Fire. 😀
Queen is my favorite band as well and as a musician I have always admired other musicians that break the mold and don’t limit themselves to only 1 instrument and of course brilliant writing from a bass player incorporating disco into a rock band and making it a timeless song. As always Thank you Warren for making this videos, hope you get well soon.
Loving the series , maybe some Led Zeppelin, they changed rock music ...Whole Lotta Love , Kashmir,the iconic and often sampled drums on When the Levee Breaks maybe ?
This is an excellent series! My requests: Back in Black; Knights of Cydonia; Do I wanna know; Won’t get fooled again
Love the song, and the artists who trying to give us insights of the music part.
Thank Gunther!
Thanks man. I grew up in awe of Queen. I remember when "Another One Bite the Dust" hit the radio. In the Black American it was HUGE!!!!
Another great presentation. Queen were incredibly diverse in terms of musical pallette. Thank you Warren.
Thanks ever so much
I just learned a whole lot! Wow wow wow!
Thanks ever so much! Glad to be able to help
Ahhhh......fond memories of my youth. A+ content as always, Warren.
Thanks ever so much
