@@alberto-os1bx Yes. You haven't heard any symphonic metal bands. Queen did just the one song where "From opera to rock to opera again to heavy metal to folk-rock again" applies. Nightwish etc do that in EVERY song and have been for almost 30 years. So it isn't rare.
Unrivaled? I guess, The Beatles, Pink Floyd or Rolling Stones have a few words to say about that🤣 But yeah, Queen is without a doubt a top notch, very creative band.
@@generalsaufenberg4931 You're right, of course. They are all great artists. But I meant more Queen has a memorable glam rock style and they already stand out a lot in this specific genre of music.
Hmmm… yeah, as a label “Mozart” but what would that make of Bach, Beethoven, Hayden, Handel etc? And then there’s the sheer volume of classical music… hundreds of pieces that did not rely on words for “literal” meaning… Just saying, I went thru my Rock period and my Latin (music) period but the bulk of work that one can go thru from Back to Stravinsky does make Rock seem like a “blip” in the musical universe…
Yeah, when only Dukes and Archbishops were paying for - incidental - music… the financial impetus to write music was sufficiently meager to convince the Best they should compose the BEST! Today, Muscian’s get paid millions for every tune they churn out in composition AND performance… so there is little time for quality, consideration or experimentation.
The look Queen was sporting in those days , skin tight bellbottoms etc... was spawned from the glam/hard rock look of the seventies that even spilled into and influenced the early days of heavy metal especially the hair metal of the 80's. Queen has influenced many areas of music and has mad respect in all quarters.
@@mnomadvfx Of course, Queen drew from many diverse influences in terms of their sound and look changing like chameleons all along their career, my point is that they were full fledged hard rockers especially early on in their run, they took and gave a lot but everything they did was uniquely their own at the end of the day.
Freddie Mercury, Queen's (late) lead singer was a fan of opera, ballet, choir music, classical music, showtunes... it was his extraordinary vision of making a song that was a 'mock opera' in 1975. He wrote the basic structure, and then just kept adding layers and layers of vocals in the studio until this grand sound emerged that made 'Bohemian rhapsody' a stellar track and masterpiece. This 4th Queen album 'A night at the Opera' was one of the most expensive records ever made at that point. At the time, there was concern cos the song was 6 minutes long, it may not have been suitable for radio... but Queen persisted and it got such a massive response that a music video was made to promote it. Freddie asked for a shot of the 4 members singing to mimic the cover of their 2nd album 'Queen II' and make it 'come alive'... 'Bohemian rhapsody' proved worth the cost - it went to #1 all over the world in 1975 and made Queen superstars after years of struggling to make a career in music. After Freddie Mercury's death in 1991, the comedy movie "Wayne's World" had 'Bohemian rhapsody' on its soundtrack and the single became a top 10 hit again in 1992... And again in 2018 after the release of the biopic movie 'Bohemian rhapsody' starring Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury.
I'm 46 years old and roughly a good 35 of them since a was a child due to circumstances in my life I have fought the temptations of committing suicide. About the only reason that kept me from killing my self is thinking about the pain that my mom would suffer from that. I knew other family members would also suffer but the one I really didn't want to suffer was my mom. That part that says "if I'm not back again this time tomorrow carry on" reminds me of those times when I came close to doing it and wishing my mom just carried on with life as nothing really mattered. Needless to say I have shed more than a few tears listening to this song
Loved your reaction. This one was wrote by Freddie Mercury (the lead singer) and it was basically 3 songs put into 1. It starts with a ballad style which moves into opera style and then to a rock section before finishing with the ballad style. As for the meaning of the song, that is highly contested and different people have their own understanding of what is meant in the song. Freddie would never say what he wanted the song to mean, he was one to let the listener have their own opinion of what a song meant. The other members of the band are: Freddie Mercury, (Lead Singer, Piano and rarely you will see him play Guitar); Brian May (Lead Guitar, Vocals and the one with the big fuzzy hair, it is like that even now); Roger Taylor (Drums and Vocals); and John Deacon (Bass Guitar). As for songs to listen to there are too many but a good start is the Live Aid 1985 Concert Set which is 20 minute long with 6 of their songs. There is a 7th song with just Freddie and Brian which they did later in the night. Songs there are: Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio GaGa (song that Lady Gaga got her name from), Hammer To Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. The extra song being Is This The World We Created? Other songs Another One Bites The Dust, It's A Kind of Magic, I Want It All, No-One But You, Bicycle Race and about 100 other great songs.
When you know what the song is about, and who it is written for, it becomes easier to understand, and all the words make sense. If it makes you cry, pulls an emotion, it is even better. Never be sorry for your tears, your tears are from who you are, your heart and soul, we all know and appreciate our world which makes them.
There is only ONE person who knows what this song is about, and Freddie NEVER explained it to anybody. ANYBODY who claims to know what this song is about is full of BS.
@@linusromey561 I agree. Lots of people try to make this song "mean" something. I've always just heard it as a story, like any other story: Boy screws up and kills someone, regrets it, gets caught and tried, then is going to have to face punishment and gets mad about it. It's up to everyone to decide for themselves what they experience in any song.
@@rastiga9196 Bohemian Rhapsody was released in 1975. The first cases of AIDS were not reported until 1981. Freddie was not diagnosed with HIV until 1987.
OMG This is amazing watching someone experience Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time. And when the beat dropped at the 9:30 mark she had the very same reaction of anyone ever 😆
Briefly looking through the comments and haven’t seen anyone point out that this was also a self portrait by Freddie Mercury. His personal arch of conflicts of family, his first marriage, and finally coming to accept himself in the final piece of the song.
Most authentic reaction I've seen in forever! This masterpiece has the ability to twist your emotions from the inside out, you can't stop it and it's very OK! I'm very sorry about your heavy heart, I will pray for happier days for you and your family! A hug to you, from someone far away who cares! 💞
The song is even more impressive if you listen with headphones, you get the full impact of their special sound effects. This video was made in 1975 when "glam rock" costumes and long hair were in style.
Beautiful Reaction. You have given me my first witness of Russian raw emotions. Never met or interacted with a Russian before I’m my life. This was great. God Bless and thank you for sharing : )
I have seen many reactions to this but yours as to be the best so far. I am proud to be British and growing up with queen music in my love RIP Freddie Mercury.
An amazing song in three parts 1 he killed a person, pulled his trigger now he's dead, and is going to jail saying goodbye to his mother. 2 is the court case with everyone arguing. 3 is him realizing that he is going to prison. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. Love yah
Wonderful heartfelt reaction to this great song. I will say that this is probably the furthest thing from disco as it can be... Thank you for doing this one! Have a great day!
Rhapsody means all different styles of music. This video changed the music industry forever! A few years after this song, MTV came out and became an all-music video music channel.
I tear up at this song. It's so well done by one of the best and most inventive bands ever. Just listen to almost anything Queen and see what kind of magic they gave. Their Live Aid concert is amazing. So many bands gave so-so performances and Queen just blew everyone's minds.
While I like a lot uninterrupted music that I love (like this fawsome song), I watch reactions out of curiosity for what others people think of the things that I love and despise, to check another perspective. She could react only with her face and talk about it later, but I think pausing and comenting with the first things that come to their minds is a very good way of react to things. If I want to listen the song uninterrupted, well, I go and listen the song by myself.
The beginning of the song is all Freddie Mercury, harmonizing with himself on multiple tracks. When he wrote this song he was actually working on three different songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this epic masterpiece. Nothing like it before or since.
A rhapsody in music is a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, colour, and tonality. An air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation make it freer in form than a set of variations.
you have seen the Power and Glory of Queen and Freddie, what more can be said, i am sure freddie and the band are just loving that they have touched your heart and soul, thats what they do, Queen is a Genre of their own, they are everything
No need to apologize. Queen makes epic music. It's funny you mention that it's like from an opera, because the album that this was on was literally called "A Night at the Opera." Check out their Live Aid performance. Only a 20 minute set outside in the middle of the day with no stage lights, and it's still considered one of the best live performances ever. Freddie Mercury is, in my opinion, the best front man in rock n' roll history.
Freddie Mercury. The singer piano player. Came back from a opera. One night and that's where the inspiration for this. Song and the whole. Night at the opera album came. From i Dare you put on some headphones. And listen to the entire album straight through. No interruptions your mind will go. Bye bye as in. A good way.
Bohemian Rhapsody is pronounced as "Bo-he-me-an Rap-so-de". Queen is a British rock band formed in 1970 consisting of: Freddie Mercury - Lead vocals and piano John Deacon - Bass guitar Roger Taylor - Drummer and vocals Brian May - Lead guitar and vocals Freddie is the composer of Bohemian Rhapsody. He never explained what it was supposed to mean or what his thought was as he wrote it. He wanted each listener to decide what it meant for themselves. He did admit that it is composed of 3 different songs that he had been writing but could never seem to finish. So he decided to mash them all together and add some bridges and transitions to make one song.
Simply the greatest song ever by the greatest band ever. Nothing like it before it & nothing like it since & will stand the test of time forever. Freddie Mercury was a genius by combining 3 different songs into one. Whatever it means, I don't know & don't care. Just listen and enjoy.
Wow! That was a Rollercoaster for you, wasn't it? You from smiling to crying, back to smiling, then head bobbing. That is what music should be to all people.
Please don't ever apologize for your tears and all the beautiful emotion pouring out of from this beautiful music... Music is a universal language that touches everyone so let it pour out of you and never apologize... 💜
Queen was the first group to use video effects in their music video and the first group to do a 6-minute song of this kind with the opera put in grate reaction.😁👍
Bohemian Rhapsody. In case the meaning is lost in translation, a Bohemian is not just someone from Czech Republic, it's a person who cares about nothing and lives for pleasure and stimulation. "Rhapsody" is a style of classical music, here's a definition I found: "Rhapsody is a piece of music of indeterminate length and with no formal structure, comprised of a number of different musical ideas. A Rhapsody is all about dynamics: light and shade, high and low, loud and soft, happy and sad… It’s a story, a journey and usually quite the musical ride." The person being depicted in the song took their Bohemian lifestyle too far, killing a man just to see what it felt like, and now regrets his choices.
you should check out the crowd singing this at Hyde Park. they were playing random songs on tge speakers before the band Green Day came out and..... 65,000 sang this song with no prompting....20 years dead and Freddie still commands a crowd. AAAAYYYYYY OOOOOOHHHHH
Thank you for such a great reaction. It's said, 'Bo-heem-i-an' 'Rap-so-dee', I hope that this helps? This came out in October 1975, and was number 1 in the charts for four months in the UK.
No shame in crying. Those lyrics are powerful and can hit home hard with anyone sensitive to what they are saying. I had a brother who committed suicide, Bohemian Rhapsody was one of his favourite songs. I can never listen to this song in the same way ever again.
I’ll help you with the members the front man’s name is Freddie Mercury, the guitarist’s name is Brian May, the bass player’s name is John Deacon, and the drummer’s name is Roger Taylor
Please don't feel sorry about crying! Tears are good when it comes to thinking of dear people and family when they are far from us. Missing our parents is a sign of love! Great song, great band, great Freddie!!!❤
Beautiful reaction, its reactions like this that make me appreciate reaction videos. Getting to relive all the emotions something can evoke through someone else's lens. The songs brings many to tears, the art and science of sound and music perfected for the world to appreciate.
The most iconic band and musicians that created the most iconic song ever that will never be duplicated and broke the mold on how music is done.. everyone in that band are true legends.. but this song stands in a category of it's own being a rock opera that even today people know this song.
Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal queen at it's absolute best... you wont ever hear even today a band sounding as good as they do the didnt even have Auto tune back then... can also check out love of my life live again in rock in rio concert singing to 250,000 none english speaking crowd who sing back the lyrics perfectly.
Queen were asked to perform on a T.V. music show called Top of the Pops in Britain, but they were on tour so couldn't make it. so they hurriedly put together a film to play instead. this was the result. It's considered to be the start of the Music Video era.
For those frustrated at the amount of pausing she does please understand something. There are two reasons. First, they have pause the video in order to avoid a copyright violation. They are using content that is not theirs so if they do not change it at all it will get flagged. UA-cam is very strict about that. The second reason is so the video can be monetized ( ability to make money off ads). You will see that most all of her videos are over 8 minutes long. That is because it enables ads during the middle of the video called "mid-rolls") in addition to having them at the beginnings and ends of videos. It takes a lot of time and money buying equipment and making reactions. Those are Google’s rules.
True. It also puzzles me that people could look at a video and take the time to complain about the contents not being exactly to their taste... Who does everyone think they are!? There are enough options on the internet for everyone to be pleased, so why people can not just move away from the things they don't like (without broadcasting their opinions), I'll never understand.
Definitely, and really Eastern Europe as a whole. I have an aunt through marriage who is from Ukraine and she is one of the kindest, most wholesome person I have ever met.
A rhapsody (I am trying to keep this as simple as possible) is a piece of music that contains a few different aspects of a theme or a few songs that are of a related topic that all work together to create a cohesive story and there will usually be no chorus. Bohemian refers to being different, usually in an artistic way. Freddie had three songs that he had never finished that followed the same theme so he put them together to form this song. As far as the meaning of the song is concerned, Freddie never said, he wanted to leave it up to the listener to decide what it meant to them. As you experienced, you found a piece of yourself and your life in this song so you reacted perfectly. Thank you for your reaction.
When you were trying to find the right word for , as you said, from the upside, the word is "above". The light was coming "from above". Loved your reaction. I wasn't expecting you to cry though. You almost made _ME_ cry.
“We will Rock you”/“We are the Champions” Song runs together is another one of their great songs which is played quite a bit in a lot of sports activities because of the words. Great reaction🙏🏼🌹💕
The opening intro with just the four faces is actually Freddie Mercury singing all four parts of the harmony, compare it to the operatic section in the middle and you will hear the difference.
This started out as 2 songs, and they wanted to make a rock opera. This is what they created. It was voted the best rock song in the past 100 years of rock...
Apologies for posting this rather late, just found your reaction video. Nobody got the real reason why this song was made. As old as I am, I remember it clearly. In the 70's, especially in the early 70's, the going media response was that rock singers were mere screamers, gargling rocks and couldn't truly carry a tune. Freddie Mercury did this song and shut up all of the critics of Rock and Roll of that era. Pure genius is an understatement. :)
Yes. I remember being told by my older brothers during the 1970's, while I explored the worlds of rock and other contemporary forms of music, that "no one will listen to this in 5 years", "any monkey could do this" and "the music is too simple to stand the test of time", and so on and so on. Well, I thought they were full of shit. I was right!
As a young person who has been a Queen fan for much of their life it is always hysterical to see people's reaction to listening to the transition for the first time.
How wrong the record labels were! Bohemian Rhapsody was at No.1 in the UK singles charts for 9 weeks in 1975 and it achieved the same feat for a second time in 1991 following Freddie's untimely death from AIDS.
This was originally 3 unfinished pieces or songs that he (the singer) was writing. They needed one more song for the album to be complete. He combined the 3 and wrote an arrangement to link them together. It became the hit song of that album.
Hi Kitten iv not been well so I have not seen or listened to you for awhile. But I'm back and I noticed your getting more beautiful than the last time I seen you. And when you cry I cry. I hope your life is going fantastic because that would match how you are. I send you my love and a hug from Ireland. This world needs more people like you. 😇🐈💐
Queen absolutely amazing talented band all the members of Queen have written no1 hits, Queens greatest hits is still the best selling album of all time in the Uk 🇬🇧, the we’re the best band ever famous for their legendary flamboyant live concerts, Bohemian Rhapsody no1 for 9 weeks in 1975 , and no1 again in the 90s for 5 weeks, they have a huge catalog of songs , all the members of Queen are amazing musicians, I attended many live Queen concerts in the 70s and 80s no auto tune in these days just pure genius and talent!
You mentioned at one point that it sounded like an Opera well the name of the Album this song debuted on was called "Queen A Night at the Opera" and the correct pronunciation of this song is (bow · hee · mee · uhn rap · suh · dee).
When I was in high school, my social studies teacher subscribed to PRAVDA. It was fascinating to me? It offered a glimpse into a world that I had never seen. That was many years ago. I think that I was the only one that read it. It was translated into English. We also recieved Television of Monty Pythons Flying Circus, from England. It was SO cool, to see and learn about others cultures. I wish you well.
I believe in this Masterpiece of a song ,that Freddie is actually confessing ,and giving us a glimpse into what really happens when you fall into "Music World" There is no easy way out... Thats why it has such a deep emotional impact.
From opera to rock to opera again to heavy metal to folk-rock again. This is something you rarely see. This is a music masterpiece.

The lead guitarist, Sir Brian May, is also an astrophysicist that’s contributed significant work to the scientific community.
I loved seeing him in Sir Patrick Moore's tv show The Sky At Night.
It's a small, self-contained rock opera. Truly ground-breaking, and fantastic musicianship, as well.

Check out their Live Aid performance. Only a 20 minute set outside in the middle of the day with no stage lights, and it's still considered one of the best live performances ever. Freddie Mercury is, in my opinion, the best front man in rock n' roll history.
Freddie Mercury. The singer piano player. Came back from a opera. One night and that's where the inspiration for this. Song and the whole. Night at the opera album came. From i Dare you put on some headphones. And listen to the entire album straight through. No interruptions your mind will go. Bye bye as in. A good way.
Bohemian Rhapsody is pronounced as "Bo-he-me-an Rap-so-de".
Queen is a British rock band formed in 1970 consisting of:
Freddie Mercury - Lead vocals and piano
John Deacon - Bass guitar
Roger Taylor - Drummer and vocals
Brian May - Lead guitar and vocals
Freddie is the composer of Bohemian Rhapsody. He never explained what it was supposed to mean or what his thought was as he wrote it. He wanted each listener to decide what it meant for themselves.
He did admit that it is composed of 3 different songs that he had been writing but could never seem to finish. So he decided to mash them all together and add some bridges and transitions to make one song.
Love ur reaction! And pls don't apologise for crying its normal and natural especially in hard times like missing ur family 💕
Simply the greatest song ever by the greatest band ever. Nothing like it before it & nothing like it since & will stand the test of time forever. Freddie Mercury was a genius by combining 3 different songs into one. Whatever it means, I don't know & don't care. Just listen and enjoy.
Greatest rock song ever, probably. Greatest band? Definitely can't say that definitely, especially if you cross genres.
Wow! That was a Rollercoaster for you, wasn't it? You from smiling to crying, back to smiling, then head bobbing. That is what music should be to all people.
Please don't ever apologize for your tears and all the beautiful emotion pouring out of from this beautiful music... Music is a universal language that touches everyone so let it pour out of you and never apologize... 💜
Queen was the first group to use video effects in their music video and the first group to do a 6-minute song of this kind with the opera put in grate reaction.😁👍
You are listening to a musical masterpiece ! Freddie Mercury maybe the greatest male vocalist ever !!
Hey no need to apologize for crying Irina) great song and great reaction
Bohemian Rhapsody. In case the meaning is lost in translation, a Bohemian is not just someone from Czech Republic, it's a person who cares about nothing and lives for pleasure and stimulation. "Rhapsody" is a style of classical music, here's a definition I found: "Rhapsody is a piece of music of indeterminate length and with no formal structure, comprised of a number of different musical ideas. A Rhapsody is all about dynamics: light and shade, high and low, loud and soft, happy and sad… It’s a story, a journey and usually quite the musical ride." The person being depicted in the song took their Bohemian lifestyle too far, killing a man just to see what it felt like, and now regrets his choices.
you should check out the crowd singing this at Hyde Park. they were playing random songs on tge speakers before the band Green Day came out and..... 65,000 sang this song with no prompting....20 years dead and Freddie still commands a crowd. AAAAYYYYYY OOOOOOHHHHH
Love when you call goosebumps little bugs 😆😆
Everything about this song and video was ahead of it's time. Freddie wrote this years before Disco.
Thank you for such a great reaction. It's said, 'Bo-heem-i-an' 'Rap-so-dee', I hope that this helps? This came out in October 1975, and was number 1 in the charts for four months in the UK.
No shame in crying. Those lyrics are powerful and can hit home hard with anyone sensitive to what they are saying. I had a brother who committed suicide, Bohemian Rhapsody was one of his favourite songs. I can never listen to this song in the same way ever again.
I’ll help you with the members the front man’s name is Freddie Mercury, the guitarist’s name is Brian May, the bass player’s name is John Deacon, and the drummer’s name is Roger Taylor
Please don't feel sorry about crying! Tears are good when it comes to thinking of dear people and family when they are far from us. Missing our parents is a sign of love!
Great song, great band, great Freddie!!!❤
Beautiful reaction, its reactions like this that make me appreciate reaction videos. Getting to relive all the emotions something can evoke through someone else's lens. The songs brings many to tears, the art and science of sound and music perfected for the world to appreciate.
1. Their producers didn't want them to do this because it was too long for radio.
2. This was their masterpiece.
4/20 😎
The beginning part, just from the lyrics alone, is very emotional. But the song is a testament of unrivalled creativity.
One rule - never never never stop the guitar solo))))
The most iconic band and musicians that created the most iconic song ever that will never be duplicated and broke the mold on how music is done.. everyone in that band are true legends.. but this song stands in a category of it's own being a rock opera that even today people know this song.
Great reaction
Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal queen at it's absolute best... you wont ever hear even today a band sounding as good as they do the didnt even have Auto tune back then... can also check out love of my life live again in rock in rio concert singing to 250,000 none english speaking crowd who sing back the lyrics perfectly.
Queen were asked to perform on a T.V. music show called Top of the Pops in Britain, but they were on tour so couldn't make it. so they hurriedly put together a film to play instead. this was the result.
It's considered to be the start of the Music Video era.
Thanks, I needed help understanding this song. You did great job. Friend from USA.
I appreciate you gave me a feedback, I appreciate that
For those frustrated at the amount of pausing she does please understand something. There are two reasons. First, they have pause the video in order to avoid a copyright violation. They are using content that is not theirs so if they do not change it at all it will get flagged. UA-cam is very strict about that. The second reason is so the video can be monetized ( ability to make money off ads). You will see that most all of her videos are over 8 minutes long. That is because it enables ads during the middle of the video called "mid-rolls") in addition to having them at the beginnings and ends of videos. It takes a lot of time and money buying equipment and making reactions. Those are Google’s rules.
True. It also puzzles me that people could look at a video and take the time to complain about the contents not being exactly to their taste... Who does everyone think they are!? There are enough options on the internet for everyone to be pleased, so why people can not just move away from the things they don't like (without broadcasting their opinions), I'll never understand.
Try listening to it without stopping it. You'll love it any more.
Don't apologize for your sensitivity, it's beautiful!
I cry everytime too, when listening to this great song, its so powerful @RussianReactionReviews
You got me all choked up there Irina. I hope you get to see your family soon.
Russian people have a beautiful soul.
Definitely, and really Eastern Europe as a whole. I have an aunt through marriage who is from Ukraine and she is one of the kindest, most wholesome person I have ever met.
A rhapsody (I am trying to keep this as simple as possible) is a piece of music that contains a few different aspects of a theme or a few songs that are of a related topic that all work together to create a cohesive story and there will usually be no chorus. Bohemian refers to being different, usually in an artistic way. Freddie had three songs that he had never finished that followed the same theme so he put them together to form this song. As far as the meaning of the song is concerned, Freddie never said, he wanted to leave it up to the listener to decide what it meant to them. As you experienced, you found a piece of yourself and your life in this song so you reacted perfectly. Thank you for your reaction.
Hello, again, Sherry - once more, you have "nailed it" --
Good music can touch lots of people. Great music touches everyone in a unique way only to them. Queen wrote great music.
When you were trying to find the right word for , as you said, from the upside, the word is "above". The light was coming "from above". Loved your reaction. I wasn't expecting you to cry though. You almost made _ME_ cry.
Of course you've heard it, it's timeless!
Thanks for the reaction I am 70 and it makes me cry too haha I have to listen to music alone. Love your show from Canada
Thanks for watching! Thank you for being here foe me
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS 🎉
Yes it was the beginning of disco 1974 . Rhapsody is a series of small songs all used to tell a story.
“We will Rock you”/“We are the Champions” Song runs together is another one of their great songs which is played quite a bit in a lot of sports activities because of the words. Great reaction🙏🏼🌹💕
even if you dont know queen, you KNOW QUEEN the songs are iconic
The opening intro with just the four faces is actually Freddie Mercury singing all four parts of the harmony, compare it to the operatic section in the middle and you will hear the difference.
This started out as 2 songs, and they wanted to make a rock opera. This is what they created. It was voted the best rock song in the past 100 years of rock...
Apologies for posting this rather late, just found your reaction video. Nobody got the real reason why this song was made. As old as I am, I remember it clearly. In the 70's, especially in the early 70's, the going media response was that rock singers were mere screamers, gargling rocks and couldn't truly carry a tune. Freddie Mercury did this song and shut up all of the critics of Rock and Roll of that era. Pure genius is an understatement. :)
Yes. I remember being told by my older brothers during the 1970's, while I explored the worlds of rock and other contemporary forms of music, that "no one will listen to this in 5 years", "any monkey could do this" and "the music is too simple to stand the test of time", and so on and so on. Well, I thought they were full of shit. I was right!
Love from italy.
We love russians.
It was released November of 1975. I was in 7th grade. Yes I did have this on a vinyl record. These guys had the best vocal harmony's ever at that time
This is the very first ever rock opera. Freddie was a genius. He was also dying of Aids, which is what the lyrics are about.
As a young person who has been a Queen fan for much of their life it is always hysterical to see people's reaction to listening to the transition for the first time.
When I am feeling sad and overwhelmed ❤, I watch your videos and feel happy and inspired you make me feel emotionally released.❤
You got the song completely. It's a whole range of emotions all rolled into one moment. Just like life!
Makes me cry too, don't worry about it. It's an emotional roller coaster
Record labels said the song wouldn't sell because it was too long to play.
How wrong the record labels were! Bohemian Rhapsody was at No.1 in the UK singles charts for 9 weeks in 1975 and it achieved the same feat for a second time in 1991 following Freddie's untimely death from AIDS.
R.I.P Freddie Mercury music Genius ✊🏻🐐🕊️🎤😥
Freddie had three different songs he had ideas for but then put the three songs together and this created bohemian rhapsody,the rest is history.
This was originally 3 unfinished pieces or songs that he (the singer) was writing. They needed one more song for the album to be complete. He combined the 3 and wrote an arrangement to link them together. It became the hit song of that album.
Hi Kitten iv not been well so I have not seen or listened to you for awhile. But I'm back and I noticed your getting more beautiful than the last time I seen you. And when you cry I cry. I hope your life is going fantastic because that would match how you are. I send you my love and a hug from Ireland. This world needs more people like you. 😇🐈💐
The name of the album this song was release on was A Night at the Opera
A RHAPSODY IS A MELODY THAT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF MELODIES IN ONE SINGLE MELODY.
Don't apologize for crying; great reaction.
Next year this song is 50 years old. But it is still the greatest song EVER written!
Queen absolutely amazing talented band all the members of Queen have written no1 hits, Queens greatest hits is still the best selling album of all time in the Uk 🇬🇧, the we’re the best band ever famous for their legendary flamboyant live concerts, Bohemian Rhapsody no1 for 9 weeks in 1975 , and no1 again in the 90s for 5 weeks, they have a huge catalog of songs , all the members of Queen are amazing musicians, I attended many live Queen concerts in the 70s and 80s no auto tune in these days just pure genius and talent!
So beautiful! I want to give you a hug! Music touches the soul!!! Stay strong my friend in this cruel world! 💪 I'm curleywolfman and said so! 🙂🇺🇸
Is that the NYC skyline tattooed on your arm?! That looks amazing!
You mentioned at one point that it sounded like an Opera well the name of the Album this song debuted on was called "Queen A Night at the Opera" and the correct pronunciation of this song is (bow · hee · mee · uhn rap · suh · dee).
When I was in high school, my social studies teacher subscribed to PRAVDA. It was fascinating to me? It offered a glimpse into a world that I had never seen.
That was many years ago. I think that I was the only one that read it. It was translated into English. We also recieved Television of Monty Pythons Flying Circus,
from England. It was SO cool, to see and learn about others cultures. I wish you well.
I believe in this Masterpiece of a song ,that Freddie is actually confessing ,and giving us a glimpse into what really happens when you fall into "Music World" There is no easy way out... Thats why it has such a deep emotional impact.
