    Ignore the Queen haters. They’re deaf and blind. They’re outnumbered by billions of Queen fans worldwide. Do what makes you happy and stop worrying about haters and pronouns! This was Freddie’s tribute to Elvis Presley by the way.

      @@DidrickNamtvedt 👍🏻if you really want to see Freddie doing his Elvis impersonation then you should watch him performing this song on their set at Live Aid!! It’s on UA-cam in HD. What an incredible day that was and so much money was raised for those poor famine victims. Preferably watch Queen’s whole set of 20 minutes or so!! Absolutely brilliant:).

    The Last Queen album released in Freddy’s life time was released around 1991 we was very unwell with Aiids he knew he didn’t have long left but he still killed it. The in 1995 they released Made in Heaven which has his last u finished vocals which Brian May mixed and finished it debuted at number 1 in the charts a great swan song for the best front man ever.

    • @imweakfordeaky
      @imweakfordeaky 2 роки тому +4

      Brian, Roger AND John worked together to finish up Made In Heaven (adding the missing instruments and harmonies to the vocals Freddie managed to leave behind) - it wasn’t just Brian working alone.
      In fact, Roger and John did quite a bit of the first phases while Brian was touring for his solo album Back To The Light ( released in the UK on Sept 28, 1992)- when Brian came back from that tour, the work on Made in Heaven went into full gear.

    Queen - very eclectic musically. They didn't take themselves too seriously and loved to have fun.
    They did a song called I Want to Break Free, which didn't go down well in America because the video had each band member dressed as a female character from a UK soap called Coronation Street.

    • @imweakfordeaky
      @imweakfordeaky 2 роки тому +7

      It was MTV who had an issue with “I Want to Break Free”, *not America* !
      I got to see the video maybe twice before MTV yanked it off the air - everyone *I* knew thought the video was hilarious.
      Sure, we weren’t familiar with Coronation Street - but we had plenty of men-in-drag comic skits going way back - Bugs Bunny, Milton Berle, the movie “Some Like It Hot” from way previous to IWTBF … closer to the same time as that video, we had Dustin Hoffman in the movie “Tootsie”, Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari in the TV show “Bosom Buddies” , and Julie Andrews in the gender-bending comedy movie “Victor/Victoria”.
      It was MTV, and (maybe) a small but vocal minority of prudes who stupidly freaked out.
      MTV’s fate - to become a wasteland of crappy pseudo-reality shows - is richly deserved.
      While Queen is rightfully Legendary - and still immensely popular.

    Freddie Mercury died of bronchopneumonia, an AIDS related illness, in 1991 (he was diagnosed in 1987) - the last year Queen released new material like _"The Show Must Go On"_ and _"These Are The Days Of Our Lives"_ in September and October of that year. Freddie was very ill and nearing the end when he filmed the video for the latter song. He kept his illness a secret from the public until he was close to dying. There have been few recordings released since his death.

  • @dereknewbury163
    @dereknewbury163 2 роки тому +40

    "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was indeed very true in Freddie's case. His performances expressed his sexuality but he never spoke much about his personal life. In late 1991 he released a statement disclosing that he had AIDS from which he died a few days later. I suppose today he would be described as bisexual. A great love of his life was Mary Austin, to whom he left the bulk of his estate but they separated as lovers in the 1960's and most of his subsequent love affairs, some quite long-term were with men. A complex brilliant man with a big heart

I was at Knebworth and Queen flew in by helicopters over us. There was about 120,000 in the crowd that day. It was in actual fact the last ever LIVE performance that Freddie did with Queen. There was also a tinge of sadness as well as the band members learnt that someone got fatally stabbed at Knebworth. The crowd was in a frenzy from start to finish at that concert and it's something I'll never forget. I became a Queen fan after attending Live Aid in 1985 when I was 16, I'm now 52 !!!!

    Freddie wanted to sound like Elvis for this song, and you are right - played live, this song JUMPS off. I know, I saw them do it in 86.

    This was Queen at their peak popularity.. The song went to number one and they followed it up shortly thereafter with Another one bites the dust which was an even bigger hit.

    Its a tribute song, to some of his musical heroes, in particular Elvis Presley, and its sung almost like an impersonation of Elivis. It is an original song, but I have to admit I thought it was an Elivis song, that they did a cover of.

    Hmm ... We'll, I've been watching some of these Music reaction videos, mostly by Americans. One thing that struck me was they only seem to involve the chaps thus far. So I've got some suggestions for you to check out the Ladies. Not sure if they will appeal to your generation. Most were solo artists, heavy on the ballads and torch songs. However, they were very big in my youth, competing with the guys at the top of the charts in the UK. May be interesting to see what you make of them.
    'DOWNTOWN' BY Petula Clark (Orginal version in B&W). Pet was a child star singer and actress in the 1950s who grew up to be a chart topper in the 60s.
    'YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME' by Dusty Springfield (Live version B&W). Dusty had a huge cult following.
    'ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART' and 'YOU'RE MY WORLD' (Live version B&W) by Cilla Black. Cilla was a contemporary of the Beatles. Also from Liverpool in England and 'discovered and managed' by Brian Epstein. There's more but I'll leave that with you to ponder for now 👍😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    Please watch Queen, ua-cam.com/video/f4Mc-NYPHaQ/v-deo.html, I Want To Break Free.
    This is the video that the Americans didn't get, and basically blacklisted them.
    In the UK we have a tradition of males playing female parts, going back hundreds of years, and is now really prevalent in "Pantomimes". There have been some serious female roles played by men, and I believe this to be true in the U.S.
    This video was proposed by Roger Taylor (Drummer) and it is based on a very long running soap over here called "Coronation Street" (1960 and still going). The British got it and laughed their socks off.
    The Group are:
    Freddie Mercury - (originally Farrokh Bulsara) Singer/Piano/Guitar, Song writer
    Brian May - Lead Guitar (built by him and his dad from bit and pieces), Singer, Song writer
    Roger Taylor - Drummer, Singer, Song writer
    John Deacon - Bass Guitar, Song writer and singer (but only if pushed)

    In case you have not yet discovered this...
    Freddie wrote this song in 10 minutes while taking a bath.
    Also, part of the reason Freddie had great moves was due in part to, I think, him being a good boxer in school and as an adult taking ballet ( and performing if I'm not mistaken) with a well known ballet company in the U.K.
    Just thought I'd share.
    I so enjoy watching your reactions to Queen. Very much looking forward to when you watch Live Aid.
    I'd like to see you do a reaction to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody.
