I can't imagine anyone taking on a queen song and making it different, while at the same time, maintaining the essence of the original....??? 100% nailed it...!!!!
Not to take away from the excellent cover by these two talented ladies, but if you want _more_ of "taking on a Queen song and making it different, while at the same time, maintaining the essence of the original..." I suggest you search for pianist Peter Bence's videos, as well as Peter Hollens's acapella covers, especially his Queen _medley_ (I know that doesn't sound like it would work, but trust me, it's amazing!). AFAIK it's just a coincidence that they're both named Peter.
It's not just your performances that always impress: transcribing a unique song like this for only 2 guitars and 2 voices and making it as enjoyable as the original takes quite some talent. Awesome job!
@@JS-lr8nj yeah, Rick beato keeps saying they are notorious blockers......... but not very dilligent ones as there zillions of people covering their stuff on UA-cam.
Two years old, but first time watcher. Sometimes the YT algorithm throws a gem at me out of nowhere. You ladies rock. Truly amazing. Both the singing and the guitar skills. Well done. Enjoyed this thoroughly. New sub right here.
New subscriber, also. Scrolling the lyrics made me appreciate the song even more than from way back in the day. And very clear and clean guitar playing == bravo.
The last time I heard this song live was on the Queen Live Killers Tour on Dec. 1st, 1980 in Bremen, Germany. I've been a huge Queen Fan at that time. And now, over 40 years later, you wonderful Ladies nailed it with your grandious version. I'm loving it. Thank you very much and best wishes from Germany...
Covering a song as difficult as this must be such a challenge. These ladies had so many easier options to choose from, and they nailed it. I remember on Queen's earlier album sleeves in the 70's they always stated they didn't use synthesizers - ''No synths''! They seemed very proud of that. (They later did use them.) I could see where they were coming from at the time. You two just rocked one of their most difficult songs (in my opinion) with TWO guitars. I think Queen would be proud of that. Brian May is active on UA-cam I believe, I would love for him to see this. Congratulations, and thank you to you and all of The Other Favourites and talented friends for keeping me smiling in lock-down while looking after my dad. You probably aren't aware how much of a difference you make.
Reina has a terrific voice and Toni is a very talented guitarist. Their duets are some of my favorite music videos. I have also noticed that the visuals of their productions are usually quite striking. Bravo!!
Genre, gender, and style - all masterfully transformed in this arrangement. Every Sunday morning, I hold my breath, click, and then - goosebumps from raw, and yet understated talent. So accessible, so professional, so worthy. There really aren't any right words for the praise that Reina and Toni deserve.
@@DukeStarbuckle appreciating that two women can deliver the cover performance vs. The group of men that sang the original. It was seamless and not at all a factor.
@@Hottiedonkey Agreed. Sometime I just speak/type my thoughts not meaning to criticize or judge. Truth is she is an outstanding guitarist and musician ; )
Great job, both of you! Once again Toni looks up from whatever guitar work she's doing and blends in seemingly effortlessly with her harmony vocal, spot on!
Okay guys I admit when I saw this title I thought no WAY. Absolutely NO WAY. But you NAILED IT! True to the complexity of the song yet your own unique spin. Freddie would LOVE this, dahlings. 👍🏼🤴🏻
Very impressive! To strip down such a complicated song without sacrificing it's personality is an achievement! And, Reina, your guitar playing has really stepped up lately. I know it's hard to shine next to Toni, but I think you are strumming n picking like a champ!
Good Lord. That Toni is a huge asset to your music. She's a boss on that guitar and it adds sooooo much to your accompaniment, not to mention the fact that she can sing too!! That gal is quite impressive!!
You guys are just great. Everything just fits together perfectly like a musical jigsaw. This just shows how you can turn your talent to any genre of music with super results. This comes from being so naturally talented. Well done
I have no idea how difficult to play on guitar. But I know the song is harmonically complex but you play and sing it so smooth and transparent that I just lean back and melt.
The depth of material that you two attempt (and master) will never cease to amaze me. Great, great guitar work Toni, you are a master of your craft! (and at such a young age too)
I could watch every single day every single song they play! Never seen a duo so genuine delivering the greatest songs. Congratulations are In order, fine ladys really know how to end the week and start a Sunday! Love them! Thank you for existing!
Considering that this is a big-scale Queen song distributed over a full electric band, your version on two guitars and voices is amazing present and resonant. So yes, I do like it. Your way of singing it is less rangey than F Mercury's; but then also more original and personal for that. The chord structure of Killer Queen always sounded very on-melody, bright, and even moreso in your reading. Love how you worked your own bends plus twists into the solo--and so high up the board! What a hardworking, talented outfit you are! Makes my day to tune into your channel. Thanks moh...
If an acoustic rendition of this classic track than it has to be exactly like the one you both did. Wonderful. I guess Freddie would like it, too.Thank you! 👍😎
Respect! A Queen-Song is complex, you did a great job. Hope you can visit germany once more when this crazy times are over. I saw you in Hamburg and Colone.
in my opinion you girls, josh and everybody doing this beautiful artwork are the wall i was looking for to block auto-tone and the mainstream music labels from destroying the very nature of art
Killer Queen -you two guitar queens killed it! My new favorite version. Spot on lead, harmony and arrangement. You made it look easy. It's not. Thank you for a real treat. 🙏
This was one of their best performances! Singing and the instrumentation. The guitars are so tight, Reina’s playing complements Toni’s amazing lead and melody. That Strat (?) sounds heavenly. Lead vocals, and vocal harmonies are beautiful and the recording is so crisp! Just wow!
I was at The Hammersmith Odeon in London in November 1975, to see Queen, which just happened to be the first day Bohemian Rhapsody went to NO.1 for the very first time. What a thrill and been a fan ever since. I have to say, having just tried to play it, this is an outstanding cover girls, so very well done. xx
Wow The Petersens covered bohemian rhapsody? Holy bleep ! I have to check that out. Thanks for the unintended recommendation. I'll let you know what I thought of it
@@daviddemar8749 Yeah, very notable performance. RDC introduced me to this band when she collaborated with them during her last tour before the pandemic. Amazing, 5 lead vocalists. Bohemian Rhapsody - The Petersens ua-cam.com/video/X_XVrm6zXmw/v-deo.html
Way to keep it simple! That was super sweet and concise. I understood all the words this time! That was pretty nice. I've never understood all the words in the Queen version. I've been singing a lot of wrong things in this song, since the 70s - not all of them actual words... Hey, great instrumentation, too. I loved the whole arrangement. I thought I'd miss the percussion, but I didn't. All the complicated guitar bits I expected where there. So well done to both of you and your very sweet voices.

KILLER ARRANGEMENT!!
Josh always faster than anyone else (._.
Agreed Josh! Keep up the great work you do.
Well, if YOU say so. ;-)
Yes!!
"Listen Morty, I hate to break it to you, but josh is the man”
🥸🍰✨
This is the cleanest solo of Queen I’ve ever heard in my life! What a quality!!!
Got that right!
Literally. Never heard a version of the solo with no distortion. But also very well played.
Agreed !
'What a quality'
I can't imagine anyone taking on a queen song and making it different, while at the same time, maintaining the essence of the original....???
100% nailed it...!!!!

Fantastic!
I'm 76 and a Queen fan.
i came to this video thinking "how on earth would you want to cover this song?" and you completely blew me away
This is why guitar is the greatest instrument. Beautifully done.
This is the first time I have ever actually heard clearly and understood the lyrics to this 40+ year old song! Thank you.
Not only is it superb from Reina and Toni, but how extraordinarily clever Queen were, with lyrics and music.
Me too
40+??? My word, am I really that old? (checks watch) Oh.
The two ladies somehow did listen better to the original text than I did... 😊
@@spud13x13 did you really check your watch to know how old you are
It's not just your performances that always impress: transcribing a unique song like this for only 2 guitars and 2 voices and making it as enjoyable as the original takes quite some talent. Awesome job!
I also agree 100% with this.
Idem
Eric, I couldn't figure out how to express my reaction to this video but you did it for me.
I totally agree I don’t know how did it - it was wonderful
@@sebxiou-lfsy Also?
Everyone keeps saying how proud Freddy would be. Let me tell you if Brian May sees this he will be blown away with the arrangement.
Queen is a blocker. They'll probably prevent the video from being shown in the US once they find it.
Even Roger Taylor would have to appreciate this!
@@JS-lr8nj yeah, Rick beato keeps saying they are notorious blockers......... but not very dilligent ones as there zillions of people covering their stuff on UA-cam.
i won't let you tell me, because i don't think you know one way or the other.
@@JS-lr8nj 'record company' not queen
Holy cow. The tone on that Telecaster is straight up amazing. So full. So crystal clear. That's amazing.
...and it's ALL in the "fingers".
exactly!
The person with the telecaster is absolutely fantastic. 100% precision.
I just discovered them. She is a great guitarist
I'm a queen fan and I tell you one thing for sure that this is one of the best covers I've ever heard
👍
It's nice but as a queen fan, well...
marc martel version
Two Queens for a Queen's classic
^^^ This. Precisement, mon ami.
Two years old, but first time watcher. Sometimes the YT algorithm throws a gem at me out of nowhere. You ladies rock. Truly amazing. Both the singing and the guitar skills. Well done. Enjoyed this thoroughly. New sub right here.
New subscriber, also. Scrolling the lyrics made me appreciate the song even more than from way back in the day. And very clear and clean guitar playing == bravo.
It did it to me tonight with this video. My goodness Very impressive !
So glad for those jems...
The harmony created by their guitar playing is fantastic
Elle anad Toni - my favorites, end of discussion. But Freddies lyrics - blows you away.
Toni is one of the most talented guitarists out there!
Here harmonies are also off the hook!
I want you to relax
Nope
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Do you have something to do with the Fritz Brause Band from Bochum?
Killer Queen was on the radio when I was 17 yr old. I remember driving down the road rockin' out. Good job girls. Thanks.
First time I've understood the lyrics to this song haha. Love it.
Really awesome !👍You are born for music, both of you🤗 Greetings 🚙🙋
I like this cover. It's understated and low-key.
The best killer Queen Solo ive ever heard
I’ve been playing guitar in bands for 40 years and these ladies are amazing and their ability blows me away.
I'm disappointed that it has taken YT 2 years to recommend this video to me.
Bravo, Bravo! Well executed! You two rock!
I’ve never heard a better arranged cover of a Queen song.
That’s insanely well done. Congrats to two so talented women!

A s far as I can remember on "the Game", 1980, they stated, on the cover, that they were using Synth for the first time :)
That red tele is by far the most beautiful guitar I have seen in a long time.
It's always a pleasure to listen to real musicians play and sing. Great songs and no rap or hipHop
Reina has a terrific voice and Toni is a very talented guitarist. Their duets are some of my favorite music videos. I have also noticed that the visuals of their productions are usually quite striking. Bravo!!

How about this: if J.J. Cale were still alive, he would jam with these two.
@@DukeStarbuckle appreciating that two women can deliver the cover performance vs. The group of men that sang the original. It was seamless and not at all a factor.
Well put. So true.
That's a hard song to cover with just two guitars and two voices! Really well done!
Toni's sigh after the solo is endearing.
She is talented guitarist in my opinion.
Telecaster too clacky for me, also seem to fret out at the end of solo? But sounded great (different) on chords. . .
It's a challenge.
@@ouijim James it's not allowed to say anything but breathless praise.

LOL. Yes :)
How can you not love Reina del Cid! They are so talented!!
The best money I ever spent was my patreon membership for these 2 amazing performers. Sunday Morning videos are the highlight of my week. Such a gift.
So much talent, intelligence, grace, charm, and exquisite musicality that dances your spirit.
Toni at 1:59 is awesome. You two complement each other brilliantly. Very well done.
Very impressive! To strip down such a complicated song without sacrificing it's personality is an achievement!
And, Reina, your guitar playing has really stepped up lately. I know it's hard to shine next to Toni, but I think you are strumming n picking like a champ!
Agreed. It's been great to see Reina's growth on the guitar over the last few years.
Good Lord. That Toni is a huge asset to your music. She's a boss on that guitar and it adds sooooo much to your accompaniment, not to mention the fact that she can sing too!! That gal is quite impressive!!
Amazing rendition Reina and Toni! Freddie Mercury would be very proud!
The most beautiful thing I saw in youtube in the last... 5 years!
You guys are just great. Everything just fits together perfectly like a musical jigsaw. This just shows how you can turn your talent to any genre of music with super results. This comes from being so naturally talented. Well done
The guitar player is on another level
Damn SPOTIFY Top 40.
Real talents are on UA-cam! Sophistication, quality, real musicality.
Hard song to nail down -- you did the song proud and I enjoyed it a lot -- love your music
Wow this chord progression is brilliant.
I have no idea how difficult to play on guitar. But I know the song is harmonically complex but you play and sing it so smooth and transparent that I just lean back and melt.
You two pretty girls. As an old Queen fan, I really have tears in my eyes now. Well done, all of you. Great cover! Greetings from Germany. LG Hubert
Ive been a fan of Queen for over 40 years ,and Killer Queen just happens to be my favorite song.
Well Done.👍
no one cares
What a great performance. Great Guitar Players. Wonderful Voices. A longtime Queen- and Brian May - Fan says: Thank You!
Real beauty at all
"Guaranteed to blow your mind" - it did! Well done, ladies! Thank you!
Okay, this is my new favorite thing.
Same
Yeah it's amazing🎶🎸🎶✨✌️
The depth of material that you two attempt (and master) will never cease to amaze me. Great, great guitar work Toni, you are a master of your craft! (and at such a young age too)
This is an incredibly difficult song to pull off with just 2 guitars and 2 vocals, well done ladies!

My new favorite duo easily and will be for a long time.
If an acoustic rendition of this classic track than it has to be exactly like the one you both did. Wonderful. I guess Freddie would like it, too.Thank you! 👍😎
betting Freddie was smiling
That you can take a very complex song and make it look effortless is a huge part of what makes this such an amazing thing to witness. Brava!!
Playing this on a crispy clean Telecaster instead of the mighty Brian sound works marvelously well. Cool cover!
Killer arrangement from these queens.
Respect! A Queen-Song is complex, you did a great job. Hope you can visit germany once more when this crazy times are over. I saw you in Hamburg and Colone.
Toni's singing has improved so much over the years!
One of my favorite Queen songs done by my favorite young duo, who could ask for anything more on a Sunday?
Why are you guys the reigning queens of rock and roll? You ladies are on point everytime. Love your music.
Absolutely beautiful ! Best cover of that classic with such an awesome arrangement I've ever heard ! Well done girls 👍👊💪
Wow! What a difficult song to sing and play. Excellent!
in my opinion you girls, josh and everybody doing this beautiful artwork are the wall i was looking for
to block auto-tone and the mainstream music labels from destroying the very nature of art
Great cover. Simple, well done, clear, and truly brings out the clever lyrics. You made this song your own.
Two musical queens making killer music! Love this! Great tele picking, Toni! Great playing and singing from both!!! ❤
Killer Queen -you two guitar queens killed it! My new favorite version. Spot on lead, harmony and arrangement. You made it look easy. It's not. Thank you for a real treat. 🙏
There are easy songs to do and there are difficult ones. You chose a tough one and nailed it. Great cover.
Awesome song choice and even better performance!!!! Thanks for this wonderful rendition!!!!!
Nice job Ladies! I was extremely fortunate as a young teen to see them in concert during their News of the World tour in 1977. Will never forget it!
I saw bicycle race tour Toronto 1978
You two killed it. Thank you for laying down some Queen. Always looking forward to Sunday mornings.
Reina hat eine wunderbare, eigenartig sanfte, klare Stimme. Toni kann spielen.
This was one of their best performances! Singing and the instrumentation. The guitars are so tight, Reina’s playing complements Toni’s amazing lead and melody. That Strat (?) sounds heavenly. Lead vocals, and vocal harmonies are beautiful and the recording is so crisp! Just wow!
A great performance I agree. Toni is playing her Fiesta Red Fender Telecaster.
Tele!!!!!
Reina del Cid and Toni Lindgren you again have made my Sunday. ❤
You really messed up this time. Now you are going to have to play this song at every request show. Brilliant and .... NAILED IT!

What a thrill and been a fan ever since. I have to say, having just tried to play it, this is an outstanding cover girls, so very well done. xx
Through these young hopefuls, Queen songs will live forever and the legacy will continue ! 🥰
Not a Queen fan but your arrangement of this song is killer. Toni for guitarist of the century.
My Sunday is so much better now!
A performance de vocês é impressionante!
Amazing, I close my eyes and I see Freddie and Brian!
I’ve been listening to this song for 30 years and it’s the first time I’ve known the lyrics! Great cover.
those little rakes on the solo added so much
This is incredible!! Arranged beautifully and executed with precision!❤️
Now that was fun. Great job ladies!
As a woman myself it’s so kick ass seeing talented women who are so inspiring. Great job!
I'm really impressed with the vocals and the sound of telecaster !
Love this…..it proves that a great song doesn’t need a big production……2 vocals and 2 guitars plus talent….job done!
Wonderfull
Superb performance of a song with a complicated vocal arrangement. I rank it up there with The Petersens cover of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Yes! The Petersens and Riena del cid or at the top of my list.
