Freddie always looked glamorous in the 70's. x
they weren't enthusiastic, because they were forced to play back 😒😁 Queen 😍👌🏼👑
Queen always sang and played live, but here, and in more appearances around this time, they were forced to do playback and they hated it. Roger always makes me laugh, you can see he wasn’t even trying. One of the things I admired the most about them is how much effort and dedication they put in their live shows, one of the few bands that sounded even better live. You should react to Killer Queen Live at Montreal 1981, it’s a little shorter because it’s a medley along with I’m In Love With My Car, which is sang entirely by Roger, I think you would love that one too!
Queen is the only band that has recorded almost every genre including Rock, Pop, Disco, Heavy metal, Jazz, Opera, Punk, Big band, Techno, Blues and some of the most beautiful love songs... Like no other group.
Beatles did many genres too and even created some
@@ricardo_miguel13 oh common Beatles did just his own style,and I still think why they were so overrated,
@@Bibiana862 listen to their whole discography and you will say different. Even on their own (solo career) they are world class.
@@ricardo_miguel13valid but I don’t think the Beatles didn’t have the vocal depth Queen did.
@@lrp6525 maybe not like Queen but they had a lot of vocal deth aswell. I mean all four could sing, especially three
I love Freddie with his long hair.
I suggest you listen to Freddie Mercury singing "Barcelona" with Monserrat Caballe. Freddie in its purest form, but with an incredible combination of voices.
Queen always prided themselves on live performance, in the 70s it was commonplace for TV shows to demand miming as it cost too much in time and effort to set up multiple bands on these kind of shows, so bands like Queen didn't especially like these kind of shows so understandably they would look bored.
I agree. This was not a promo video. Bohemian Rhapsody - 1976 - is credited as being the first one. Mimed tv show appearances were the norm!
They taped up Roger's drums and gave him plastic cymbals, and Roger was Pissed!! To this day, Roger complains about having to do that!
Ah, that explains it .. Thanks for the background info .. Was wondering why he was going out of his way to show he wasn't taking the promo video seriously.
This is what I call the perfectly written song! Anyway, Queen hated having to mime their performance! It’s like asking Michael Phelps to show us the butterfly while laying on a bench! 🤣 Freddie would mouth the words out of sync on purpose!! Hahaha!! You should check out Top of the Pops performance of LAS PALABRAS DE AMOR (a song dedicated to their South American fans). In the 70’s Freddie wore black nail polish on the left hand & Brian wore white nail polish on the right hand. So cool & now it’s time to paint my nails!! 💅🏻
Nice reaction. Freddy was a great performer and showman. One of their first great hits. Hope to see them live next year with adam lambert. Thank you for this reaction.
You are so knowledgeable you certainly do your homework and it pays off. Thank you for being so dedicated
Love this song and reaction. Want to hear great Queen harmonies? “you take my breath away”- studio version. The most beautiful song ever recorded.
Want to see more of this look?
Liar, White Queen
You Take My Breath Away is all Freddie. Harmonizing with himself. Live Hyde Park version is beautiful.
Freddie had long hair for most of the 70s. And there's a reason it was called "glam rock" back in the day. ;-) And as for the harmonizing, it's just Freddie, Roger, and Brian. John didn't sing.
Derek: " ...and there you have it."
My mind: Innuendo, no 🤦♀️ it's a phrase from "I'm going slightly mad". Oh dear, getting my Queen songtexts mixed up. It is the beginning of the end😱😱
Every member of Queen was a college graduate. Everything from Batchelors of Science to a Doctorate. These were no casual strummers of tunes. Everyone of them was/is a fiercely intelligent and extremely well educated person.
Yes, Brian May is an astrophysicist no less!!
ALL wrote songs and ALL had #1 hits! Only band to do that!!
@@barbaramendoza2202
Only Freddie and John had independent no 1s with Queen
Innuendo was Freddie and Roger
Rogers days of our lives didnt chart independently but with bo rap dec 91
Guess it does count,but we dont know if it would have reached no 1 if it wasn't with bo rap
Brians rock you became no 1 in 2000 when five did a cover but Roger and Brian played on it
Yes its still technically his song..but not with Freddie/Queen
Freddie living on my own remix was no 1 in 93 no more brothers but I wish they hadn't taken the scatting out
@@bluebell3720 Hi - There is much documentation of Queen being the only band in which all 4 members wrote songs, but each had #1 hits. Freddie: Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love, We Are the Champions, and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Brian: We will Rock You, and Flash. Roger: Radio Gaga, and The Invisible Man. John: Another One Bites the Dust, and I Want to Break Free. ALL 4 + David Bowie: Under Pressure. Freddie + Roger: Innuendo in ‘91. Queen was also the first BAND, rather than an Individual, to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003, where they were all honored as Songwriters each having #1’s. Whew! That’s a lot!! The boys are soooo talented!! 😊
@@barbaramendoza2202
Hi!
I couldn't find an article so it might be said differently,but on the you tube award,they say they all had top hits,they didn't say they all had no 1s
where it gets muddy,they were awarding 'Queen' as in Freddie,John,Brian and Roger
but Brian performed Rock you which was his revised version of the song which he did after Freddies death,performed by five live with Roger and Brian playing on the track and shown in the background of the video
I guess it's still Queen if the original band still receive royalties off it,I have no idea,but that's not what people consider a Queen track,though in a sense it is..
It was no 1 with Queen in france which I didnt realise!
at the time champions was considered more of a success than rock you
but now Queen version of rock you is probably wider known,popular
no disrespect to the Netherlands,I'm sure they would still be glad if their song was no1 there or anywhere
but normally the Uk or US is considered as in was it a no1,a hit..
can't find champions as no1
Flash was in Ausria,I didn't know that!
Ga Ga netherlands
also brake free
can't find anything for Inv man
they all had hits,fan favourites and songs that are still well known,for John best Friend has become as well known and probably more used than his us no1 AOBTD!
and freddies DSMN which only charted as no9 at the time has done very well now
it's odd how it works out
it's fun to see knew reactors
I need to be honest,I don't know a lot of Queen songs..
then they realise they actually do!
or surprised the covered or sampled version they know came from Queen..
they have a career they can all be proud of that's for sure!
So this is my favorite Queen song. Nice reaction.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Love seeing them back in the 70s! 😘
Freddie wrote this while Brian May was recovering from health issues and he saved guitar spots for Brian to add in perfectly. One of their early hits. I adore the intricate lyrics Freddie’s songs have, about a high class call girl, lol. Such a brilliant songwriter. They all were.
Around the time this came out Elizabeth II was shot at during a parade. She was unharmed. One of our local DJs was a very vocal opponent of the monarchy & he dedicated this to her on his show that evening. He was fired even as the show was on air.
OhMyGOODNESS! I did NOT know that historical fact!!🤯😵😵🙊
Another great Queen reaction....thank you 👑
Great Video🔥, Another One Bites The Dust live @Wembley and Keep Yourself Alive at Montreal (the video from the channel ,,Chief Mouse‘‘ have a good quality 😉) are very entertaining and groovy to react!😁
Please react to Queen...LIAR at the Rainbow Freddies is glam and long haired in this one too.
Love that version of LIAR ... Freddie talked John into singing the bridge with him. It’s pretty cool to watch.
Debra, yes thats why I like it so well too...John singing!..plus Freddie looking fabulous!
A very similar situation to 'Top of the Pops' once again having to mime/lip sync which was something that the band hated.
Queen's 1977 "News of the World" album is what made them world famous. I'm sure you know the big hits from it "We Will Rock You/We are the Champions" but there are some more great tunes on the album: "Spread Your Wings", "Get Down Make Love", "Fight from the Inside", "Sheer Heart Attack".
Fabulous classic! Queen just makes everything better! I hear you, the fact they sound spectacular on record and even better live is a testament to their pure talent! The experience must have been pure torture for them to have to mime and also a major insult to their artistic talent and professional integrity. What also sucks is they actually never played the entire song through live, it was always part of a medley, including Roger Taylor's "I'm in love with my car" (live at Montreal is highly recommended). They definitely put the glam in glam rock! In their early years, they wore vintage outfits during concerts and they all shared outfits, mixing and matching as needed. Freddie and Roger also ran a vintage clothes stall together and when it came to looking for possible items to sell, Freddie definitely lived by the motto "one man's trash is another man's treasure" if you catch my drift. Please do more Queen reactions! 39, my fairy king, march of the black queen, long away, princes of the universe, you and I are just some of the many fantastic studio songs! check them out!
Amazing!
Lol Roger has said he hated doing these as he was often forced to use plastic symbols. The phrasing in this song is off the charts. There are points where it’s impossible to consider when he takes a breath.
Live of course is amazing, although this song was always part of a medley.
My favorite is Hammersmith 79. Death on 2 legs/killer queen/I’m in love with my car.
ua-cam.com/video/FLOcTABZihE/v-deo.html
I love seeing their older stuff, but Montreal is great too.
Que grandes!!!. Que estimado👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is such an epic song for the band, it was a huge break through. The drums are very pulled back on this song and every bit of this recording is absolute perfection. I love this song. Thanks for the reaction.
Tv studios wouldn't allow live music back then. Technically that was quit challenging.
Queen hated this.
Because of this, the very first music video with sfx was born: Bohemian rhapsody.
Please react to Killer Queen/I’m in Love With My Car from Montreal x
It’s so awesome especially the transition from Killer Queen to I’m In Love With My Car!! Roger’s voice is raspy good!!
They used the trick of speeding up the then usual analog tape, thus making the back up vocals really tight and high pitched in places. E.g if the standard speed of the tape was 19 centimetres per second, speeding it up to 38, twice as fast would mean going up an octave. :)
This was standard practice back in the 70's whenever a band, 'performed', their latest hit on TV. They mimed to a playback, and basically just went through the motions of appearing to play/sing. Queen didn't like the idea, but if they wanted exposure, it was something they had to do. The BBC were even worse in some respects as they had a musicians' union that insisted that a certain percentage of all musical broadcasts had the BBC orchestra, (or elements of it), included in any, 'live', performances. Which meant artists who appeared on TOTPs, had a choice of either miming to their own song or, they could play live, but the instrumentation part had to be performed by members of the BBC orchestra. Most bands opted for the former, as they didn't particularly want 50 year old blokes who were more used to playing light entertainment numbers as part of an orchestra, murdering their songs! There's plenty of videos of singers who chose to have a, 'live', performance, on UA-cam, where they perform their songs whilst a rendition of their music is supplied by part of an orchestra! Luckily, once the 80's arrived, a lot of that changed.
Queen in one particular rabbit hole you ought to get yourself lost down. Not a duff track to be had, anywhere.
They were furious!🤣🤣👅👅
So insulted- the boys hated it!
You need to watch Freddie and Monseratt Caballe sing Barcelona. Amazing opera/pop mix
They were upset because they had to perform in playback..that's the reason of Roger's face and attitude!
You have to check out the Odeon 1975 white queen or in the lap of the gods revisted from the same concert. You'll be amazed how good they are live. Thank you for your awesome reactions. Hope to see more in the future.
they were the first band to use videos and if this is for top of the pops, the BBC made the band mime and they were all mad, they were known as a live band and they thought it was demeaning to mime . Everyone had long hair back then, and their costumes were made by Zandra Rhodes the famous designer.
They hated playback. Roger was especially unhappy because those cymbals were PLASTIC!! That’s why he can’t hit them hard!!
I think the distortion of his voice is from a phase shifter which was often used in the 70s for guitars.
Great song; you’re so right about the intricate studio details. I was lucky enough to hear a pirated 24 track of the session (probably leaked when the analogue was digitized) there are two pianos actually (one being a ‘tack’ piano)
incredible vocal tracks (mostly Freddy) and I think it’s flanging or phasing rather than vocoder on some of the vocal bits.
They hated playback in fact that is how Bohemian Rhapsody video came about. They were getting ready to tour and Pop of the Tops asked them to play. They presented the video which was shown.
Hi... Dereck,
Next.. Can you watch and react song ''Kaupikir Kaulah Segalanya'' (You think you're everything) by EDANE? They're one of famous Metal Rock Band from Indonesia. I hope you will be excited and enjoy it.
Thanks and Have a nice Day Dereck.. 🙏
Indonesian Metal Rocker... Peace..🤘
In 1974 they were number 2 in UK , and i think the number one hit in UK was ABBA with their song SOS
Roger never was a great fan of playback TV acts ☺️
I think you would take a try with 'Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy', an absolutely lovely song 😀
Should check out White queen live at the odeon hammersmith 75. Nice reaction
Pure Greatness
Listen to Who wants to live forever and Innuendo
Tnt boys sang somebody to love in little big shots US and in their concert. Brian May (lead guitarist) said their performance was brilliant.
For a live version, I would recommend live at Earl's Court 1977
One vision wembley the best performance of queen
And his mouth fell open. ;) Those were the times when there was a lot of playback.
Yes, now and then the artists were not motivated at all to make something out of it.
But then you could see it well and you knew it was playback.
One of those TV programs with almost everything playback was AVRO's Toppop, Toppop for short, it broadcast from September 22, 1970 to June 27, 1988 in the Netherlands.
Queen was also seen there in 1974 with "Queen - Killer Queen • TopPop"
Fortunately, the sound quality made up for the bad performance.
Today they hide it and make us believe it is live.
And Brian is not using his Red Special guitar
I am seeing this version for the first time - have only seen the official video tied to this song (with Freddie in the infamous fur jacket) - which was also done lip synching. I think it was for Top of the Pops?
It is from Dutch TV, also there is a piece of the 3rd clip version to this song, but only 30 sec left cause the tape was damaged!
Listen Amel Bent "Le Droit à l'Erreur" !!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Dddaaaayyyyuuummm Derek!!
🙂👍
This was not a promo video
This was performing in the Dutch chart-show Toppop
Me encanta Queen escucha a Cristina Ramos en algunos temas de ellos alucinaras desde Tenerife
try the "top of the pops" show number from 1974, same recording i think, but the musicians are more "effective" looking 😉 aaaannd Freddie is even better than on this promo. Plus he has a coat to *die* for!
They weren't happy because it was lip sync, but even tough they nailed it.
See the Top of the Pops 1974.
Do some E.L.O. LIVE AT WEMBLEY fantastic.
Not only are they not really singing, but you have to notice those aren't their instruments! They were forced to use the studios set up and Brian isn't playing the "Red Special". Maybe that's one of the reasons they made the music videos so they wouldn't be forced into this kind of charade.
Thank you so much for this great reaction. Would you please react to "Dead Or Alive - Something In My House (Mortevicar Mix)"?
ROCK LOBSTER please
Very probably faking it as that is what happened when they appeared on Top Of The Pops on the BBC with this song (which Freddie and the boys were really pissed about), I’ve heard Roger ripping the BBC a new hole for forcing them to use props like a plastic drum kit and so on while a backing tape played! And if memory serves me they only ever played on US TV show where yes, they played live. The song I think was Crazy Little Thing Called Love 😊
Oh yeah- the group were pretty insulted of not being live!
Freddie with long hair--🥵🥵🥵
Roger was not impressed that the symbols were plastic!
They had three performances in 74 with seven seas then another three with killer Queen
No wonder they sent a video for bo rap,just as well it was no 1 for 9 weeks!
You must react to freddie mercury love kills the dance version
can you react to ez mil song in his resonance album pls
The lack of enthusiasm is because they hated to "pretend" in this kind of dubbed performances (as I suppose all true musicians do), as it can be seen in the film "Bohemian Rhapsody"... Brian isn't even "playing" his signature Red Special here! XD
Pls react to ariana grande surprises the tnt boys.
Thanks
All appearances on Top of the Pops were lip synched as they featured
many different songs from the top ten in just half an hour. Queen hated
performing this way. You'll notice the lack of an electrical cord on
both guitars, Roger's less than enthusiastic drumming and Freddie
'playing' with John's base was only possible as they were miming!
They aren't singing in this video..its lip syncing and they were really irritated that the BBC wouldn't let them play it live!
They had done three performances earlier in the year with seven seas of rhye so they knew the drill!
Yeah Roger was so cross the symbols were plastic!
But atleast it gave them tv coverage
But it made them want to send in a video for bo rap!
