What is your favorite Queen album or song? Mine is A Day at the Races and "Bohemian Rhapsody" (of course). Also, which band should I do a brief history of next?
The saddest thing is the song mother love. When they nearly finished it Freddie said that he didn’t feel so good and they would finish it tomorrow. He never came back. Brian has to finish it alone with vocals and everything cause deacon left. Depressing
John Deacon was still in the band when that came out. It was released in 1995. They recorded it between 1991-early 1995. John didn’t leave the group until 1997, and came back briefly just to play on the last new song “No One But You (Only The Good Die Young)”. After that,he officially retired that same year. His last live performance with them was in London with some dancers with Elton John singing lead vocals on “The Show Must Go On”.
Queen wouldn't be Queen without not just Freddie Mercury but the whole band. They all had talent. Freddie's voice, Brian's/John's iconic guitar solos/bass lines, and Roger's drumming
@@juliannetomlinson yeah. Like at the start of the movie the band went touring and they play Fat Bottomed Girls despite in the real life that song was created in 1978 and in the movie,they played it before 1978.
@@eamandanish7629 true but that’s not really an issue tho, like you can’t expect an accurate timeline of songs when you’re making a movie for dramatic purposes (this also applies for Rocketman). The real problem was the scenes that made Freddie look bad...
Its crazy how a small band called Smile turned into Queen, one of the biggest bands in history. it really inspires me to keep going. we love you. Freddie, and we will never forget you.
He forgot ONE important fact. Their final song before Freddie died was mother love on the made in heaven album. When recording the song Freddie said he felt ill so he went home to never come back to the studio. Brian may ended up singing the last part of this masterpiece. Amazing video❤️
Queen is honestly probably the only band that EVERYONE knows and have at least one song they knew and like. From old boomers to the new young generation everyone knows bohemian rhapsody, we will rock you, we are the champions, and many young people are fans of Queen (including me). It's the band my grandad knows, my mom knows, my nephew knows
I was at a restaurant in midtown Manhattan one day and Queen came on. A bunch of easy teenage girls came in and started singing along. I believe the song was Another One Bites the Dust. I was surprised to say the least.
Without the Queen biopic, I wouldn't ever got to be introduced to Queen. Because of the biopic, I became a fan of Queen. I was surprised that I recognized a few of their songs despite not knowing the name of the band. With your video, A Brief History of Queen, you reignited my love for Queen 👑❤️
I've been a fan since I was somewhere around 9 years old. I had just come back from visiting a friend ans my parents had gotten me a "new" stereo with a cassette player, record player and 8- track player. They also got me some records and 8-tracks, one of which was a Queen album. From there I was hooked. One of my favorite songs of theirs is Radio GaGa
Tim Stafell and Roger Taylor were not at Imperial College of Engineering with Brian. Tim was at Ealing College of Art with Freddie and Roger was at University of London. And Freddie did play an instrument, he played the piano.
@@lunarbeatsoffical Even only the first 20 seconds of Ogre Battle are more than five chords, and May was very impressed when he wrote that... Freddie could play very fast according to him, I'm not sure but he might have once said he could play guitat even faster than him... And he knew lots of chords, do you even realize what the mindset of piano player is? Constant change of chords, that's the same thing for his guitar playing
@@giovannigobbi4832 lol I know a lot of the mineset of a piano player and guitar player because i'm both of them. And i was just going off of what Freddie said or at least what I heard him say. All he said was he knew like 3 chords top. But ig I was wrong.
The fact hat John Lennon died before the day of my friends bday and after my bday is I think a coincidence but idk cuz my iq is only 112 so I can't tell
Queen will never be topped! I'm 60 years old. When I was in high school band we were at a competition and the host school performed a Queen Medley that was absolutely phenomenal! If Bohemian Rhapsody is playing when we are in the car the rule is that we cannot exit until it's over. (while singing along of course!) RIP Freddie! Thanks for everything!
In March 1974 I went to my very first Rock Concert. It was at the Cambridge Corn Exchange. I was a spotty 13 year old teenager. The band were called Queen and they were described as a fast rising college band. Despite my youth and naivety I knew I’d witnessed something a bit special. 😁 I saw them 33 times in all between March 1974 and August 1986.
"Innuendo" would probably have to be my favorite Queen album, and "I Want It All" would be my favorite Queen song. Epic video, and hopefully the next one is a brief history of Humpy Bong!
My favourite Queen album and song are exactly the same. These might not be the most popular choices, but I'm glad that there are others who think like me. I think that in terms of music, 1984-1991 was their best period.
You know that a band has quality when an album that is almost unanimously considered their worst becomes an inspiration to an album, that would eventually become the best selling album of all time :D
one of my earliest core memories is watching Live Aid on a VHS tape with my dad in like 1999. he is the greatest Queen fan, and at some point he confessed to me that his only wish in life was that if he ever had a child they would love Queen. i kind of understand why … one of the greatest things that ever happened on this planet
Thank you for including their post-Live-Aid discography, it’s so underrated (especially Innuendo). I also think that it would be better if you included Freddie’s solo albums and his collaboration with Montserrat Caballé (at least one of the best crossovers in music history imo). If you can make a separate video on that, I would love to watch it :D
Funnily, I, a 16 year old, own Queens greatest hits on vinyl and I asked my mum what records she had when she was younger and what my grandparents had, the only record my grandad ever listened to was Queens greatest hits. Thought that was funny.
People often fail to mention "Lap of the Gods" It was their first crowd singalong number. Not written as such but it just evolved into one when they played live. It was semi classical and no rock band had producd anything like it
Freddie wasn’t “keen on playing instruments”? He played piano beautifully and composed on piano. He even played guitar in concerts for “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”. Freddie and Roger were friends before Queen as they both worked in the same stall/shop selling scarves.
Yeah if anybody doesn’t think Freddie plays piano well, they should check out Death On Two Legs, The Fairy Feller’s Master Stroke and The Millionaire Waltz 😂
Freddie stated many times that he enjoyed "running around on stage" much more then playing the piano, he was good at it and it was his way of writing songs but playing piano was not something he enjoyed
He wasn't keen on it. He was REALLY GREAT at playing the piano, but wants keen on it, ergo he'd rather not do that. I think he said that he enjoyed performing , as in running around and singing, interacting with the crowd etc. More than he did playing.
One of my old history teacher saw queen in concert, he once talked about it for an hour, he kept talking about how it was the best night of his life, the best concert he’s ever seen, and all that jazz, the last day of school, our grade’s band burst threw the his classroom door and started playing bohemian, it was so much fun, the shock on his face
my dad had the greatest hits 1,2 &3 album in the car at all times, whenver the radio was rubbish or we didnt get a signal the cds would get used and queen got used alot, so now i love queen
dont get hot space tho, and buy just an innuendo single, the other song called “im going slightly mad” is a HORROR, i heard it when i was 7 and couldnt sleep for two weeks. Now im 18, never heard it since, never going to.
Well done! So well detailed. Innuendo is my favourite album from Queen I believe it captures all their immense talent and artistry. I always look up to Freddie when I feel down, he was so such a powerful performer and seemed like the most caring person ever. The friend we all wanted to have in our life. He is always with us more than ever.
My favourite Queen's songs are: 1. Bohemian Rhapsody 2. Another One Bites the Dust => always plays this at work when someone tenders his/her resignation 3. A Kind of Magic Queen is a very special band to me since I grew up with it from mid teen until late 20's. I was 15yo when Bohemian Rhapsody was released and became a hit, just started Year 10 in a boys school. I remember during recess Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the songs regularly played on the school speakers around the school in 1976. It was a wonderful memory.
I saw Queen at the Stadium in Chicago December 1977. I'm in my 60's and still remember Freddie in white leotard and ballet shoes. Somebody tossed a bouquet of flowers on the stage and Freddie threw them back to the audience 1 at a time, I got a red carnation which I kept for many years until one day I realized it wasn't around anymore and it was lost to many moves from apartment to apartment. There will never be another "entertainer" who comes close to Freddie's talent.

I opened this peculiar video that appeared in my recommended (maybe after blasting bohemian rhapsody on repeat) and heard your voice and went, “wait a second…” then I saw the channel name, and I was so excited
Without Freddie and John, it does not have the same feel, closeness, and friendships. They all performed as if brothers from other mothers. Miss the originals, but still have every album!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So hard to pick a favorite, as they were all great in different ways. Maybe Magic as the album and toss up between Breakthru and Under Pressure as song. But also love I Want To Break Free and These are the days.
That was fantastic. This group seemed to carry mulitiple generations as fans. Since I am a GenXer, and Greatest Hits came out the year I turned 12, and got my first stereo, those are the songs I remember. I recall having to get multiple copies of the album on different media. I think the casette version had "Under Pressure" on it, and not the viynl, or maybe it was the other way around. Under Pressure was not only a great song, it was a great video, back when 90% of videos were just filmed performances. I think the video was comprised of shots from the silent movie "Metropolis". It was a huge MTV hit. I would love to see you cover Oingo Boigo. I think since this band was so regional, many people have only heard one or two tracks from their amazing catalog.
Thank you for the video. Sometimes I feel bad for the remaining members of the Queen band but then I think by now they are used to it that no matter what they do or say there will always be people who will keep on criticizing them. They are just normal people like us, they just happened to be talented and loves to make music so they made a living out of it. They became successful and a band that no one else can replace in this lifetime. Freddie Mercury must have told them or made them feel that they should carry on with their lives without him. The movie may not be perfect but I’m one of those who enjoyed it and because of this movie, younger people have became aware of them. Have you seen the people who welcomed them in Korea? Younger generation. The movie and tours introduced them to new fans who are probably watching all the UA-cam contents they can find about Queen. Buying albums & merchandise. Let them do whatever they want with their remaining time on earth. If I have a chance I’ll watch their concert even though I know it’s not the same without Freddie. Favorite song. It’s hard to choose one. It changes depending on my mood. Currently on my repeat mode in UA-cam: Jesus, Mustapha Ibrahim, Liar, Cool Cat. When I was down last week I keep on playing Spread Your Wings.
Forgot to mention that Freddie managed to get a cover of "I Can Hear Music" dropped as a single under the name Larry Lurex before Queen released their first album.
ok queen is literally my favorite and it’s impossible to pick but i’d say favorite album is either sheer heart attack or the works and my favorite songs are all dead, all dead, brighton rock, white queen (as it began) nevermore, it’s a hard life, liar!! i could go on for days
I think the first album i had was one of their greatest hits albums. I had come back from a visit with a friend and my parents had oit up new book shelves, a new lamp and a new stereo, complete with 8-track player, record player and cassette player plus am/fm radio. Along with this was a box of random 8 tracks, including one of Queen. I had heard their music before because my mom loved their music. I think my all-time favorite song is Radio GaGa. The melody and lyrics just speak to me.
Nice work!!! Thanks for your efforts! I found Queen's album in my mother's room , aftet hearing it, I was utterly enchanted by Queen and desperately finding a concrete introduction! Thanks again for your work!!!
My Nan loved queen! I was too young to actually like the songs but now I’m older the songs just really hit me in ways words can’t describe. Maybe because of my Nan or maybe because of Freddie’s death. I love queen
Nice video! I've been a huge fan of Queen for years, and had the good fortune to see them play live a half dozen times. Freddie was a great singer and amazing showman.
I can’t choose my favorite Queen album, so I’m gonna have to go with all of them. From Freddie’s voice and piano to Brian May’s guitar to Roger Taylor’s drumming and high falsetto to John Deacon’s bass, it’s just a great pair.
Remember "Another One Bites the Dust"? there was a cockroach running over the floor in Freddie Mercury's kitchen. He tried to step on it,, but he missed. He tried again and missed. He didn't quit and got the job done on the 3rd go. And said "Another One Bites the Dust" Brian May was sitting at the table and listening to this. He said "that sounds like it could be a hit." Mercury agreed, and again did STOMP, STOMP, STOMP, " Another One Bites the Dust". They looked at each other while their jaws dropped. They then wrote some more lyrics for the song and recorded it.
It’s almost impossible for me to pick a favorite Queen song because each time I think of one, another masterpiece comes to mind. For the moment I’ll say Princes of the Universe because it was the last song I listened to before watching this video. As for a band for you to cover next - Rocks Holy Triumvirate, RUSH!
Listening to ‘Opera’ for th first time as a stoned teen in the 70’s changed everything for me. I had been weened on Beatles and Stones but this was different. This was Queen! Later on I saw the Montreal show from the album and video. I was there. Amazing!!
Favorite Album? Made In Heaven, every track on it is a masterpiece. The song one is really tricky, i would have multiple ones.. But for a specific i would say The Show Must Go On.
Why did this video make me cry??? The world may never know,,, they may also never know how much I love Queen. I hope the remaining members are doing amazing. I loved this video
I first heard "Keep Yourself Alive" (aged 12) on the Pirate Radio station - Radio Luxemburg - broadcast to Britain in 1973 and loved it - especially Brian's "galloping guitar", as well as Freddie's great vocals. Two years later, on 16/12/1975, I saw Queen live at Glasgow's Apollo Theatre (for £2.50!), standing in the 7th row from the stage. Saw them live again at the Apollo in 1977 and 1979. Was very fortunate to see them at Knebworth Park, England in 1986 - never thinking that this would be Freddie's last concert with John, Brian & Roger. Attended his Tribute Concert on Easter Monday 20/04/1992 at Wembley Stadium in London. It was ok, but not the same without Freddie. Cheers for this history of my most favourite band EVER! Thank you Matt 👍
What is your favorite Queen album or song? Mine is A Day at the Races and "Bohemian Rhapsody" (of course).
Also, which band should I do a brief history of next?
Talking heads would be great
Pink Floyd
Oasis
TOOL, Pink Floyd, or Weezer
Can you do the beach boys??????? Please??????

It’s absolutely astonishing that they went on an 8 album run of just greatness.
I would make the same claim about Iron Maiden, Genesis, Rush, and Yes
Absolutely applaud your detailed research and “Long live the Queen.”.
The Show Must Go On is one of the greatest songs ever made. Nuff Said.
Well done! So well detailed. Innuendo is my favourite album from Queen I believe it captures all their immense talent and artistry. I always look up to Freddie when I feel down, he was so such a powerful performer and seemed like the most caring person ever. The friend we all wanted to have in our life. He is always with us more than ever.
My parents were playing a Queen CD while I was watching this in the car.
Woahness. Which album?
@@mattbeatgoeson The soundtrack to the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.
@@starlinyn9292 its not that bad
@@starlinyn9292 Hey
@@starlinyn9292 the movie wasnt that bad. I actually kinda liked it.
the Beatles one was the first one I saw from your channel, very well organized and told!
Glad you liked it!
My favourite Queen's songs are:
1. Bohemian Rhapsody
2. Another One Bites the Dust => always plays this at work when someone tenders his/her resignation
3. A Kind of Magic
Queen is a very special band to me since I grew up with it from mid teen until late 20's.
I was 15yo when Bohemian Rhapsody was released and became a hit, just started Year 10 in a boys school.
I remember during recess Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the songs regularly played on the school speakers around the school in 1976.
It was a wonderful memory.
I saw Queen at the Stadium in Chicago December 1977.
I'm in my 60's and still remember Freddie in white leotard and ballet shoes. Somebody tossed a bouquet of flowers on the stage and Freddie threw them back to the audience 1 at a time, I got a red carnation which I kept for many years until one day I realized it wasn't around anymore and it was lost to many moves from apartment to apartment.
There will never be another "entertainer" who comes close to Freddie's talent.
Wow that sounds amazing!
Fun fact: It was Michael Jackson who insisted that "Another One Bites the Dust" be released as a single. He was a huge Queen fan.

Anyways that’s my stupid comment. If you enjoyed my comment then I’d appreciate if you could like my comment. Anyways that’s all. Bye ByE
Thats crazy dude
My favorite album is A Night At The Opera, and I like ‘39 and It’s Late a lot!! Cool video!
Who wants to live forever is my favourite. Sad, poignant, defiant, wistful, longing, loving and eerily prophetic.
I opened this peculiar video that appeared in my recommended (maybe after blasting bohemian rhapsody on repeat) and heard your voice and went, “wait a second…” then I saw the channel name, and I was so excited
Without Freddie and John, it does not have the same feel, closeness, and friendships. They all performed as if brothers from other mothers. Miss the originals, but still have every album!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So hard to pick a favorite, as they were all great in different ways. Maybe Magic as the album and toss up between Breakthru and Under Pressure as song. But also love I Want To Break Free and These are the days.
That was fantastic. This group seemed to carry mulitiple generations as fans. Since I am a GenXer, and Greatest Hits came out the year I turned 12, and got my first stereo, those are the songs I remember. I recall having to get multiple copies of the album on different media. I think the casette version had "Under Pressure" on it, and not the viynl, or maybe it was the other way around. Under Pressure was not only a great song, it was a great video, back when 90% of videos were just filmed performances. I think the video was comprised of shots from the silent movie "Metropolis". It was a huge MTV hit. I would love to see you cover Oingo Boigo. I think since this band was so regional, many people have only heard one or two tracks from their amazing catalog.
They were definitely ahead of their time with music videos. Thanks for the kind words and for watching
Thank you for the video. Sometimes I feel bad for the remaining members of the Queen band but then I think by now they are used to it that no matter what they do or say there will always be people who will keep on criticizing them. They are just normal people like us, they just happened to be talented and loves to make music so they made a living out of it. They became successful and a band that no one else can replace in this lifetime. Freddie Mercury must have told them or made them feel that they should carry on with their lives without him. The movie may not be perfect but I’m one of those who enjoyed it and because of this movie, younger people have became aware of them. Have you seen the people who welcomed them in Korea? Younger generation. The movie and tours introduced them to new fans who are probably watching all the UA-cam contents they can find about Queen. Buying albums & merchandise. Let them do whatever they want with their remaining time on earth. If I have a chance I’ll watch their concert even though I know it’s not the same without Freddie.
Favorite song. It’s hard to choose one. It changes depending on my mood. Currently on my repeat mode in UA-cam: Jesus, Mustapha Ibrahim, Liar, Cool Cat. When I was down last week I keep on playing Spread Your Wings.
Forgot to mention that Freddie managed to get a cover of "I Can Hear Music" dropped as a single under the name Larry Lurex before Queen released their first album.
The first time I played the first cut on their first album ( "Keep Yourself Alive") I was hooked.
The Beat came back when we needed him the most!
Here before a million views
Well the Nirvana one got 1 million views so you'd think this one at least has a chance. :)
Here before 25,000 views
I can't describe how incredibly amazing queen makes me feel
I love how every song is their best song and every album is their best album ❤️
I was waiting so long for this😲🙌 I thought he has made a video about The Beatles and Nirvana and i tought someone is missing!!😂
Glad I finally was able to deliver this one.
He did radiohead as well, the four groups r on top of my “best bands of all time” list.
@@FetishonyoutubeURL sorry i forgot Radiohead they are a good band!! I didn't know he made a video abou that
@@ismael2062 its his first video
Imagine being a bands biggest fan and getting to sing for them.
ok queen is literally my favorite and it’s impossible to pick but i’d say favorite album is either sheer heart attack or the works and my favorite songs are all dead, all dead, brighton rock, white queen (as it began) nevermore, it’s a hard life, liar!! i could go on for days
I think the first album i had was one of their greatest hits albums. I had come back from a visit with a friend and my parents had oit up new book shelves, a new lamp and a new stereo, complete with 8-track player, record player and cassette player plus am/fm radio. Along with this was a box of random 8 tracks, including one of Queen. I had heard their music before because my mom loved their music. I think my all-time favorite song is Radio GaGa. The melody and lyrics just speak to me.
Queen 2 is my favourite album and queen showed me how to become a musician when I was a teenager
I love this and I love queen thank you
I appreciate the kind words.
Nice work!!! Thanks for your efforts!
I found Queen's album in my mother's room , aftet hearing it, I was utterly enchanted by Queen and desperately finding a concrete introduction!
Thanks again for your work!!!
Freddie is Imo, easily the greatest singer/front man of all time.
This is a REALLY GREAT!!! A lot of GREAT background info.....Thank You!!!!❤❤❤
A VERY PROFESSIONAL AND DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE BAND QUEEN. DESERVES AN AWARD IN AND OF ITSELF. WELL DONE SIR.
Bohemian Rhapsody is and always will be my favourite Queen song, I also love Queen 2
These people are legends they made more than history
My Nan loved queen! I was too young to actually like the songs but now I’m older the songs just really hit me in ways words can’t describe. Maybe because of my Nan or maybe because of Freddie’s death. I love queen
A Kind of Magic is my favorite Queen album. It's so underrated and i feel like it gets slept on by fans. There's great material on the record.
His death STILL cuts me down, emotionally.
Of course, I can’t believe he died so young..
@@childrenofgrub 45 years old he was.
Wonderful history, informative, to the point and excellently narrated.
Nice video! I've been a huge fan of Queen for years, and had the good fortune to see them play live a half dozen times. Freddie was a great singer and amazing showman.
Now I'm jealous.
I can’t choose my favorite Queen album, so I’m gonna have to go with all of them. From Freddie’s voice and piano to Brian May’s guitar to Roger Taylor’s drumming and high falsetto to John Deacon’s bass, it’s just a great pair.
Long Live Queen the best band of all time may they be remembered for as long as this Earth is around
Remember "Another One Bites the Dust"?
there was a cockroach running over the floor in Freddie Mercury's kitchen. He tried to step on it,, but he missed. He tried again and missed. He didn't quit and got the job done on the 3rd go. And said "Another One Bites the Dust"
Brian May was sitting at the table and listening to this. He said "that sounds like it could be a hit."
Mercury agreed, and again did STOMP, STOMP, STOMP, " Another One Bites the Dust". They looked at each other while their jaws dropped. They then wrote some more lyrics for the song and recorded it.
It’s almost impossible for me to pick a favorite Queen song because each time I think of one, another masterpiece comes to mind. For the moment I’ll say Princes of the Universe because it was the last song I listened to before watching this video.
As for a band for you to cover next - Rocks Holy Triumvirate, RUSH!
So far in this interview I haven't heard one mistake, which has never happened before. Congratulations on that.❤
I cannot stress enough how much I love your channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much!
"They called the band Smile"
Thom Yorke: _"Write that down"_
Listening to ‘Opera’ for th first time as a stoned teen in the 70’s changed everything for me. I had been weened on Beatles and Stones but this was different. This was Queen! Later on I saw the Montreal show from the album and video. I was there. Amazing!!
Queen are my FAVOURITE band! The best albums are the first one in 1973, News Of The World and Sheer Heart Attack! Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for making the video! These are really cool and interesting. Have you ever though of ever doing one of these for David Bowie
Eventually absolutely. :D
Favorite Album? Made In Heaven, every track on it is a masterpiece.
The song one is really tricky, i would have multiple ones.. But for a specific i would say The Show Must Go On.
I was meant to go to that concert in 2020 but it was delayed to 2021 and now, 2022, and I'm hoping this time I'm able to see them. Really excited.
Same i'm seeing them at the o2 in London, I hope it doesn't get cancelled again
@@Joemcncheese oh damn! i'm seeing them at the O2 too, lol
Why did this video make me cry??? The world may never know,,, they may also never know how much I love Queen. I hope the remaining members are doing amazing. I loved this video
You're such an underrated youtuber
I love how you said "another one bites the dust" singing!
How can a band write so many great songs!?!!?
Excellent work sir. Big Queen fan and you covered everything beautifully. Yep, time to subscribe.
I sure love the song "Friends will be friends"
Spike Edney still plays with them today, I saw them in concert
Queen had an incredibly consistent and long relevant peak compared to most bands of their times
Sarcasm
My favorite and greatest band of all time Queen.
I’m 10 minutes in, and have learned a crazy amount already. This is a great vid!
I first heard "Keep Yourself Alive" (aged 12) on the Pirate Radio station - Radio Luxemburg - broadcast to Britain in 1973 and loved it - especially Brian's "galloping guitar", as well as Freddie's great vocals. Two years later, on 16/12/1975, I saw Queen live at Glasgow's Apollo Theatre (for £2.50!), standing in the 7th row from the stage. Saw them live again at the Apollo in 1977 and 1979. Was very fortunate to see them at Knebworth Park, England in 1986 - never thinking that this would be Freddie's last concert with John, Brian & Roger. Attended his Tribute Concert on Easter Monday 20/04/1992 at Wembley Stadium in London. It was ok, but not the same without Freddie.
Cheers for this history of my most favourite band EVER! Thank you Matt 👍
When the world needed him most, he came back
