Which Country / Rock and Roll / Metal song should I react to next ‼️ Drop Em👇🏽👇🏽
Bad wolf Zombie
You will love this song man
Country: Johnny Cash, a Boy Named Sue. Definitely a classic.
Innuendo Queen
Rock: Rage Against the Machine, Bullet in the Head
freddie didnt dress up in drag for this video out of spite of bein homosexul It wsnt even his idea. It was the drummer, roger taylor's idea who was heterosexual. The video was waaay ahead of it time. no one would dare to do something like that back in that time in fact it was banned on MTV. what a brave move to make a point.
exactly it, and John Deacon ( the bass) wrote the music.
It wasnt even to shock it was a parody of a UK TV show that was super popular... it could be like someone dressing as a Kardashian for a video...meant to be funny
@@anaparada7548 Absolutely. Queen had a great sense of humor. I think it's even hilarious that the grumpy old woman on the couch was the one who wrote the song.
Its funny that Freddie said he would shave the mustache for the drag part and the drummer laughed and said it would be funnier if he kept it for the drag part too
Please don't erase the fact that Freddy was bi! Correct on all other points :)
To be fair, there's a pretty long tradition of men dressing up as women in British comedy (Monty Python for instance) and this was a comedic take on a popular British soap opera. So, Freddie showing up in a video as a female character wouldn't necessarily have made anybody assume he was gay or bi.
Do you think it was more accepted because they knew(assumed by default) that the men were not gay or bi? You got a good point though. I reacted the same way when i watched the movie. I assumed it was a dead giveaway that he was gay or that people already knew and didn't care.
@@PureShinigami it was more accepted because pretty much everywhere except the US had a broader sense of humor. So it wasn't a giveaway of his sexuality. I mean, the other three were also dressed in drag and they're heterosexual. Does that say anything about them, too?
@@kitty1376 No, that was also why i got confused about the whole thing
Don't Stop Me Now ought to have clued people in, though
Lol true except those British comedies did not have anyone as flamboyant as Freddie
That cute blonde is Roger, the drummer. He's prettier than a lot of women!!
You've been hanging out with some ugly women then
Roger made a very pretty girl considering that he's one of the most masculine members of the band!
True!
Aye, I'd go full pan for that
He confused a lot of people
Freddie & members of The Royal Ballet were doing a take on a famous ballet called "Afternoon of a Faun", right down to the pointy ears. The rest is a spoof of "Coronation Street", a popular British tv show. All done with a wicked sense of humor.
Deborah Cornell ayyy o
We (you and I) were twins who were separated by adoption.
Elaine Sensiper` oh don’t you know it darling
Never knew this. Just accepted it as a whacky Queen video and never questioned it, as its Queen, and they're just so brilliant, that the video makes no difference to the song. But thanks for letting us all know. Good to know. Makes much more sense now!
The world was a better place with Freddie in it.
100% correct !!!
So true
Freddy and mj will make our fucking world better if they were still alive..
Freddie was once invited to dance with the Royal Ballet. When they found out he couldnt do a coordinated dance they carried him around.
The cute school girl is Roger, the drummer. Lady in black is John and the other lady is Brian. It has nothing to do with being bi or gay, but now the video is lika a icon for gay people and that's amazing. Free interpretation. Also, love your reactions
Antoine Gauthier It was a parody of Coronation Street (a British soap). They were taking three piss and pulled it off brilliantly!
The "I Want To Break Free" music video was directed by David Mallet.
It was shot on 22 March and 4 May 1984 at Limehouse Studios and cost about £100,000.
The video spoofs the UK's ITV soap opera Coronation Street, as proposed by Roger Taylor:
"We had done some really serious, epic videos in the past, and we just thought we'd have some fun.
We wanted people to know that we didn't take ourselves too seriously, that we could still laugh at ourselves. I think we proved that."
The Queen members just had some fun with this video.
Dressing in drag for comedy is very common in the UK.
However, conservative MTV at the time thought the video was too controversial.
The video was banned from playing on MTV.
However, VH1 played the video.
The video depicts Freddie as a housewife, loosely based on Bet Lynch, who wants to "break free" from his life.
Although Lynch was a blonde, Freddie thought he would look too silly as a blonde and chose a dark wig.
He wears a black wig, pink earrings, pink blouse with a sizeable false breast under it, black leather miniskirt, knee-high and heeled shoes.
During the rehearsals, Freddie realized that he couldn't walk freely in high-heeled shoes and settled on 2-inch ones.
Brian May plays another, more relaxed housewife based on Hilda Ogden. He's the women in bed who turns off the alarm and wears bunny slippers.
John Deacon appears as a conservative "grandma", whose is reading the newspaper.
While Roger Taylor plays a schoolgirl, who like Freddie wants a different life.
Freddie loved ballet.
A poster depicting ballet dancer, Vaslav Nijinsky in costume for L'après-midi d'un faune, was the inspiration for the central section of the video.
Vaslav Nijinsky was a ballet dancer and choreographer cited as the greatest male dancer of the early 20th century.
The composition was choreographed by Wayne Eagling, a friend of Freddie who had helped him with the choreography of the "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Eagling was then a leader of the Royal Ballet which was involved in the video (one of the dancers was Jeremy Sheffield).
Freddie shaved his mustache to portray Vaslav Nijinsky as the faun in the ballet L'après-midi d'un faune.
The shooting took much practice, especially the conveyor rolling part.
According to Eagling, despite being a natural performer on stage, Freddie could not stand performing any choreographed act himself, which is why he was mostly picked up and moved around in the ballet part of the video.
The rehearsals with the Royal Ballet were organized by Eagling secretly from his superiors, something that placed him in serious trouble when it was discovered later.
There are a couple short videos about the making of this video.

Queen and the director, David Mallet laughed and had fun making the video.
Just enjoy the video for fun and laughs, as Queen meant it to do.
I believe Roger was Suzie Birchall and John was Ena Sharples, Brian was Hilda Ogden and in the back of my mind I have Freddie as Elsie Tanner, not Bet Lynch. I may be wrong, of course. Thanks for a great read, J&M Reed.
Im very happy that john writing this song like its an anthem back then.. Nobody need to know english to sing this timeless legacy anthem...
PERIOD 🔥
Song was written by John Deacon (bass player) and the video idea was from Roger Taylor (drummer)
I believe that the drag section of the video was a direct tribute to the British television series Coronation Street, and the other fantasy stuff is with the Royal Ballet, where they found out Freddie could not dance, (as they thought that he could), so they had to "carry" him around. He loved the ballet, so I understand.
in case your wondering, the devise on the bedside table in the opening sequence is called a teamaid: its supposed to make you a cup of tea when the alarm goes off. they aren't so popular as they once were.
Diana North Ta for the explanation! I WAS wondering 😂
This song was wrote by John Deacon because of his timidity (for example Deacon never sang a song). At the same time, this video has been a Roger Taylor idea. MTV banned this song from USA, because it is a very conservative country.
BTW reacts to Who wants to live forever (live) at Wembley stadium 86
"This song was wrote by John Deacon because of his timidity"
Nope. This song was about how sick Deaky was of spending so much time working. He wished he could spend more time with his wife and children
tsukigalleta...Which explains the ending of the video were the members are all apart from one another. As if they're all free from the group.
João Alves reaction to Queen Live aid
Please do Live Aide
The dancers that Freddie was rolling on were actually all members of the Royal Ballet!!
You have GOT to do "Show must go on" and "Who wants to live forever". My two favorite Queen songs.
Yes those are amazing 😍
It always makes me cry ;(
Honestly, the entirety of Its A Kind of Magic is amazing. It’s my favorite Queen record. The fact that it’s the Highlander film soundtrack may have a lot to do with it too.
It's so odd to me that everyone gets their panties in a bunch about the dressing up in drag when I'm over here, like but why is there cow ballet in this video?
People have different opinions, views on things that’s all. We should respect everyone’s opinion, it’s a two way street.
@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 I'm pretty sure I wasn't slamming anyone's opinion. I was just pointing out that everyone comments on the drag and never on the stranger aspects of this video. Never said they were wrong or that it was bad. It's all good. 👍
Burt Macklin - oh my mistake, I apologize. You’re right tho, there are strange sequences in this video. One thing I caught on was Freddie eating the grapes. He’s always had a fascination with them even when he was younger.
@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 it's totally fine! Hahaha. I get it. The internet can be a very judgmental place. Not my style though. Always gotta show your kindness, especially when others don't!
Burt Macklin - so true. Maybe if we all thought that way, the world would be a better place. Peace ✌️
Queen was a band that did there own thing and fans loved them because of it.
In British comedy, it's very common for people to dress in drag. Can you believe America banned this video simply for that reason? America has always been uptight about everything!
Dressing up was actually Roger Taylor's idea. Freddie didn't want to do it. He knew it would stir up personal rumors about him...he was right. This video is a classic and this song is absolutely glorious! It's the best song when you're feeling like "you just can't"....you gotta make things happen for yourself. Great reaction! 👑👍🏼⭐️
America the same place that back then let Rocky horror picture show happen. I live in the US and we are a butt backward country
@Kevin Fillwell you can have morals being any background, gender and sexual preference. I was only mentioning on how Americans back then let Rocky horror picture show but yet banned this music video. And Rocky horror picture show is the same concept. Appears you can't read well.
@Kevin Fillwell or you haven't seen that movie before.
@Kevin Fillwell oh take that and shove it. I was trying to explain on how it's hypocritical that's all. But I don't see you going after anyone else in this comment section.
@Kevin Fillwell I'm not having a superior complex. What part of what I said was saying I'm better then people. Just letting people know the hypocrisy of USA . Damn dude
The grapes 'n' sliding across people comes from the ballet 'In the Morning of the Faun'. The vacuuming around a terraced house dressed like that comes from 'Coronation Street'. You get a good mix of high and low culture with Queen.:)
Look at their set from Live Aid. 25 minutes of pure live Queen magic! Considered probably the greatest live performance ever!
This music video got Queen banned in the US, on MTV!-- they broke down all the walls!! (Literally.. at 4:00 lol)
Not the entire US. MTV banned it. That's it. You could see it on other channels.
@@kitty1376 He never said it was banned everywhere in US.
Reaction by Killer Queen and Love of my Life by QUEEN
Show must go on is a must, it's so powerful! Really like watching you react to music you've never heard before.
This is a man that probably bottled so much of his personal life up, but he was completely free in his music and music videos. An absolute legend.
The ballet part is a reference to a famous ballet dancer, Nijinsky, who acted in a ballet called Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, (around the begiinning of the 20th century), It's all there; the ballet costumes, the grapes etc. Freddie loved ballet and for a while he enjoyed mixing it with rock.
I don't know what's the meaning of the ballet in the video, though. Maybe that art can give you freedom from your daily life, I guess. It's open to interpretation.
Nijinsky was a racehorse and a very good one as well. In fact the last horse to win the English Triple Crown(2000 Guineas,Epsom Derby and the St.Leger)back in 1970.
"Yooo...What is Freddie doing??"
Teasing and confusing you.😆
2:43 was the best.😄
What is Freddie doing? He’s having a ball
LOVE your reactions! Also loved this song ⚡️⚡️🔥😀Keep it up!
Freddie Mercury always wanted to bring ballet and rock music together, this was why he did this with the Royal Ballet of the UK
When the video came out in 1984, it was shocking to U.S. audience and MTV banned it. Middle section is Royal Ballet. The beginning and ending is a nod to a British soap opera "Coronation Street". Great song written by bassist John Deacon. He also wrote "Another bites the dust", "You're my best friend", "Spread your wings" and "Just one year of love". All great songs.
Early 80's music videos were chaos. There was no model to go off of, so it was usually stuff like this. Random insanity and a few band shots. You gotta remember to judge early music videos on a sliding scale.
YES!!! You never knew what would pop up. A band might be dressed as Martians with the singer tossing live doves from the parapet of a 17th century French castle. They didn't have to make sense, just be entertaining.
TJ Shannon... Except THIS video made sense to everybody in Britain as this was a parody of their beloved long-running Coronation Street soap.
The song was meant to convey breaking free fruition the group BUT in classic dramatic Queen theatrics, this video morph into a situation of a woman wanting to break free from a trapped or loveless marriage. She's been flirting with Satan (Freddie with the fairy/elf ears) as he's getting the forbidden fruit...but she doesn't want to leave and this guy wasn't as serious 'bout her as she was 'bout him. She hates being in this situation but also is afraid of living on her own if this thing doesn't pan out.
When he's rolling on top of the people to me it's a metaphor .. that the world will carry you so far.. until you want to truly be yourself.
This was a song written by the bass player. He was an extremely introverted person and it is about breaking out of your shell and finding happiness. The opening part of the video is the band spoofing a popular British TV show at the time. It is really not about dressing in Drag.
The lyrics are from the Bass Player, John Deacon. And the idea to dress up as women was from the drum player, Roger Taylor... And it's like a parody to a british show at the time. The scenes that Freddie is dancing with lots of people is from a presentation that he was invited to help and sing in
..... With The Royal Ballet.
It's cos he waS breaking free from people judging him. Media was shite towards him. It was Roger idea of dressing up n it got banned in America. You need to see queen film bohemian rapdosey it WAS awesome as you are loving this band.
"It's cos he waS breaking free from people judging him"
Nope. This song is Deaky's. It was about how sick he was of spending so much time working. He wished he could spend more time with his wife and children
tsukigalleta... Exactly! Ppl assume EVERYTHING's 'bout Freddie's sexuality but it wasn't. AND said ppl will assume it was his idea in an interview...smh!
The show that they parodied was called ‘Coronation Street’. The characters they dressed up as were - Roger Taylor (as Suzie Birchall), Brian May (Hilda Ogden), Freddie Mercury (Bet Lynch) and John Deacon (Ena Sharples).
You can easily see the inspiration when you google pics of the characters.
That is the Royal Ballet performing, none of Queen were in this scene or the next scene. But each band member was dressed in drag it was based on a popular comedy show in England. Rodger Taylor the drummer, was a pretty young girl, obviously Freddy was the one in the pink top in the leather skirt, Brian May with one with his hair in curlers, and John Deacon was dressed as the grandmother
Please please check out the live aid performance from queen. They were considered done by 85 and then Freddie had the moment of a lifetime and changed everything.
The song has many different meanings, depending upon who listens to it. It was written with one meaning, sung with another, orchestrated with yet another and finally listened to in more way than anyone could ever know.
This is actually my favorite song of Queen! I never get tired of listening to them, such talent!
Jamie Leigh AND never tire watching this video either!
Everyone assumes the song is about something specific. But Freddie said in an interview that it's about breaking free from any problem you have.
Btw apparently the video was all made for a joke, the four band Members [Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor] dressed up in drag. The song topped the charts, and is pretty popular to today. It was released in 1984, along with the song “Radio Ga Ga” which was even more popular in fact. It’s not my favorite Queen songs, but it’s definitely a good one.
That beat is dam amazing and his vocals sick sick sick amazing stuff.
Enough's been said about the Coronation Street parts - the "meaning" of the ballet is more of a mystery, but this turned out to be the first in a sequence of videos with similar large-crowd/dance sequences (see also It's A Hard Life, and the solo Freddie version of Made In Heaven)
The video is a parody of a UK soap opera Coronation St, it killed them in the US as MTV refused to play it. It was basically them just having some fun
It was a parody of a British show. called Coronation Street that featured men in drag, so it's supposed to be a funny story about a trashy housewife dreaming of a better life. It was John Deacon's idea to do the drag.
John Deacon wrote the song. Roger has said it was his girlfriend's idea to dress in drag.
John Deacon wrote the song and Roger Taylor wanted them to funny it up by dressing in drag. It's an awesome video.
Coronation Street isn’t in drag 😂 Queen is in drag to pretend to be different characters from Coronation Street
@@Eleanor-yc6bw Thank you!!! lol
John Deacon wrote it but Roger Taylor suggested dressing in drag.
Freddie performed with the Royal ballet several times
Respect to you for giving Queen a fair listen, and being respectful, and honest with your comments. The first time I saw this video was back in '85, and I was like WTF is this? And I am a Queen fan. I regret that I wasn't nearly as mature with my comments as you were with yours. Thanks.
that dude has some vocals
You have the best reactions, liked and subscribed straight away 👌
Best reaction video ever. Love your WTF reactions.
This was roger Taylor's idea to dress up like girls
Congrats on a million...
A little thing called Love by Queen- shows how Queen can go to any genre of music old school 50s/ 60s rock and master it!
Freddie produced the song because he wanted to travel into the life of a woman of the time and see the struggles that they had to go through of doing all chores so thats why he chose the song to be called "I want to break free"
i was watching this music video on tv as a kid and i was like "huh, catchy song, why are they dressed like women" to my self. my dad walks past and goes "oh queen, love those guys". and i was like "hmmm queen, wonder what other songs they have". and this was a time before internet lol. back then it was just tv and radio for music :D, another one bites the dust and bohemian rhapsody later, i was a complete fan ^^
I couldnt wait to see your reaction to this one 😂😂Freddy the genius ❤🌹
Big Bad Wolf by In This Moment
Female lead singer, great voice and great screams
I was a teen at the time, and between queen and bowie, I broke free, and have never regretted it.
If you're going to do more Queen then 'We are the Champions' should be next on the list. Probably one of the most famous and best tracks.
This song was based on Freddie being a Housewife and telling us about how he wants to break free and do his own thing and the stuff that he was doing was the stuff he wants to do but then it comes back to the reality proving it was only a thought of being free.
That is the Royal Ballet performing here. Freddie had done a fundraising gig with them previously.
Okay. The bassist writes this song about each of them being more invested in side projects than just keeping Queen going. There's this joke that Queen feels old and stale like a sitcom.
So Freddie breaks from the group, goes on to do some random weird shit, and in the end realizes that Queen are his home. That's the narrative.
The drag part of the video is a parody of a long running (60's to present day) British soap opera called "Coronation Street", the rest of it is I reckon Freddie's expressionism - he always had a thing for the ballet and operatic side of things I think, and that would emerge somewhat again shortly after this with his work with Monserrat Caballe.
Regarding the drag aspect of the video: In shakespearean times (around the 1600s) in Britain, women were not allowed to become actors, so all roles were performed by men, even the female roles. We have grown to know that this is a humorous thing and nothing to do with ones sexuality.
The traditional Christmas Pantomime, to this day, always features a man dressed in over the top female costumes, as the funny main character. The "Lead Boy", who is always the love interest of the pretty Cinderella type character, is always played by a woman. When the two are singing love songs to one another, no one is thinking "Oh boy, here's a bit of girl on girl action", we just go with the flow. Laugh at the funny parts, boo and hiss when the "Evil/Bad guy" comes on stage and cheer when the young lovers get together at the end. It's all very light hearted and tongue in cheek.
I don't ever remember anyone boycotting a Panto because of the drag aspect. We also do Vicars & Tarts parties. Often men go as the Tart. Again, all done for a bit of fun, nothing to do with sexuality.
This video was a parody/homage to the long running soap opera Coronation Street. For a laugh. :)
That was from a performance with the Royal Ballet. They had him with them for a charity gala & he even sang Bohemian Rhapsody while they held him upside down. The drag part was a joke, a parody of the British soap opera, Coronation Street.
If memory serves drummer Roger Tsylor suggested dressing in drag for the video. It's great when a band doesn't take themselves too seriously. I must say the look on your face when Freddie came on screen was priceless.
This is one of my favorite Queen songs and my favorite video clip 😆
I’m acc dead loved his face when Freddie came in with the freaking hoover
Yo. I was laughing a long with you!! Creativity! 😂💯🔥
The story of the video is probably one of my favorite Freddie stories. A real famous French ballet group wanted to do something with Freddie after seeing the way he performs on stage at his concerts. Well, it turned out Freddie couldn't dance. And instead of scrapping the whole thing, they decided just to carry him around instead.
The video was based on a popular British soap opera. Love your videos!!
React to Love of my Life in Rock in Rio, 1985. Was a spectacular concert with almost 500,000 of audience! Amazing!
Pass! LOL, l really like queen. Old MTV video's crack me up! Loved your reaction in this one! I had to watch it 3 times haha, second time was your reaction only. I've gotta show this one to my mom.
That bass tho! 🔥🔥
Watching you react to queen music videos has me rolling 😂 because your like what what is he doing
I'm glad you're enjoying the songs and music videos of Queen. I always enjoy seeing people's reaction to the band members in drag. LOL!
They are arguably one of the greatest rock bands to have ever been known. I think you should react to the music videos of some other Queen songs. Those songs are "Radio Ga Ga", "A Kind of Magic", "We Are The Champions", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", and "These Are The Days Of Our Lives". I think you'll enjoy them, though I would advise for you to have a box of tissues nearby, if you ever get round to reacting to "These Are The Days Of Our Lives".
Roger is so cute when he smiles!!
This song was written by Queens bass guitarist John Deacon. And drummer Rodger Taylor came up the idea that they should do it drag!
The drag characters are based on a British soap opera
It was very British at the time.
I love it!
I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time watching your face and hearing your comments! ha ha!
I love ur react and your awesome payed bak
He was creative he said want to be free. I seen that video in long time, it very creativity n
As recently accepting I’m bi, this is now my theme.
The video is a spoof of the soap opera in UK called coronation street. The blonde woman is Roger Taylor , the one with circles on his head is Brian may and grandma is John deacon.
its about someone who is stuck in the same routine day in day out and dreams one day to be free ,he is using a house wife as an example as even house wife's have dreams as well,but it can apply to anyone.
MTV did not allow this song in the USA, it was blocked. America was too puritan. I love this song and music video :) Greetings from Poland from Europe
The drag parts of the video were a parody of the popular British Soap Opera Coronation Street, Bass Player John Deacon wrote the song and the idea to parody the show dressed in Drag was the drummer Roger Taylor's idea.
Freddie Mercury *refuses to shave his moustache for drag*
Freddie Mercury *shaves moustache for random ballet number*
that's the whole bad.. Brian with the curlers, cute blond is Roger, gray haired lady is deacon...bro Freddie was crazy frfr! love it!
This song was written by John Deacon (Bass-Queen) and the drag was suggested by Roger (Queen - Drums). John had said it was about women being locked into a stereotypical role and wanting to break free of it. The women's characters were based on a popular English television show. So all the antics are opposite extremes from the lives of the women in the house. The piles of people were members of the Royal Ballet. The piles of bodies and Freddie going face first into the grapes, in my opinion, is hinting at an orgy and a feeding frenzy, both sort of the hight of personal and sexual freedom which obviously these women (band members) did not have in their lives. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
Queen es el grupo más completo en todo que he escuchado y visto, ellos son geniales!!! Hicieran lo que hicieran todo lo hacían espectacular!!
Este video deja un lindo mensaje, la letra la escribió John y el vestirse de mujer fue idea de la novia de Roger, es una sátira a un programa de televisión de aquellos tiempos.
Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Queen The Invisible man please 💁🏼♀️
and great reaction btw!
And yes you see all the band members in drag here👍🏻😂
I think the drag part was to represent a popular sitcom show in England at the time...kinda like our Golden girls show.
I think there's another video of this where the whole thing is the band in drag. John Deacon wrote the song. Yeah the ballet bits are crazy. Freddie was invited to perform with The Royal Ballet for a charity event. It seems they tried to teach him ballet, but he couldn't/wouldn't learn it, never liked choreography, just liked to do his own moves. By the time they figured this out it was too late, so they mostly just carried him around the stage as he sang. Bizarre & hilarious!
My next favorites to do it were the Foo Fighters....
❤️❤️
You’ve gotta check out The Show Must Go On, one of the best vocal performances of all time no QUESTION.
Also on the topic of that ambiguous dance sequence in the middle, I think Freddie was performing with that Ballet group at the time anyway, so was probably like why don’t we get them in for a music video? We’ve got a long musical section for this one, let’s eat some grapes and stuff.
I love this song
Would love to see you do a little early Queen, "Liar" Official Video. But if you do, brace yourself. The look was Glam-rock (guyliner, black satin etc, very big in the early 70's) and the sound was a harder edged rock. Lots of tempo changes in this song. Early Queen and young Master Freddie rocked their asses off (& ours!) & it was glorious. As a performer yourself I'm sure (I hope) you appreciate Freddie's stage presence & charisma regardless of the time period or style. Really enjoying your reactions, you're reaching a lot of people doing Queen and other classic rock. Throwing in a little country is nice too. How about another Chris Stapleton reaction? I think you'd like "Death Row" and "Midnight Train to Memphis".
Bringing people and different cultural tastes together is a definitely a good thing.
As light an breezy as the video is, knowing Freddie's life, man those lyrics are loaded and tragic!
