Freddie can sing any genre. The man was a musical genius. But he never lost his shyness off stage, was always humble, and one of the most thoughtful and kind men to have ever lived. I love you guys for listening to your subscribers and for your brilliant Queen reactions.
This is a great early song that shows how unique Queen was even at the beginning of their career. Sophisticated lyrics and unusual melodies. Not to mention great harmonies and musicianship. Add in Freddie's once in a lifetime voice and I never get tired of listening. Everything they wrote begs the listeners to sing along. Every car I owned had a Queen CD in it. They were the one band all generations could on agree on for road trips. Back when we used to do road trips...... Great reaction!
At one point in the 1980s, Queen was the biggest band in the world, and the reason were their live shows. I was able to see them twice once in the 70s, and once in the 80s, and their concerts were completely mind blowing! Freddie Mercury had the most incredible stage presence, and every band member added so much to the show.
This song is about a high class call girl 🤣🎶🔥 This version was mimed - Top of the Pops show didn’t allow artists to sing or play live. You can see Roger miss the snares a couple of times on purpose because he was mad LOL Completely different again - Stone Cold Crazy live from the Rainbow
I have happily listened to Queen for more years than I wish to admit. They never fail to make me smile, my eyes closed, remembering my youth. So glad you have joined the group! And as much as I miss Freddie I am sooo very glad you guys get to hear and appreciate them.
This song was Queen's breakthrough hit, and the start of the world-wide fame for the band. Freddie wrote it and later received an Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of songwriters, composers and authors. The song is from their third album ("Sheer Heart Attack"), and Queen had a very hard time recording the album - Brian was very sick for a few months (first gangrene in his arm, then hepatitis, then ulcer and a surgery). In the interview later he said about "Killer Queen": "The first time I heard Freddie playing that, I was lying in my room in Rockfield [the residential recording studio in Wales] feeling very sick. After our first American tour I had hepatitis, and then I had very bad stomach problems and had to be operated on. So I remember just laying there hearing Freddie play this thing and feeling very depressed. 'Cause I thought, "I can't even get out of bed to participate in this. Maybe the group will have to go on without me. No one could figure out what was wrong with me. But then I did go into hospital and they fixed me up, thank God, and saved my life. And when I came out again we were able to finish off Killer Queen. I did the guitar solo and everything. They'd left some space for me. It's a three-part solo, where each part has its own voice."
He was worried... Then Freddie came to visit with a tape hed made just of Brian's guitar solos to show hes very much apart of the band Which I thought was very nice and thoughtful
@@RoverWaters He may have done after bo rap which was the first time he hasnt said directly He wanted shared credit for seven seas of rhye because he did the middle 8th whatever that means Freddie said no
So Correct about the Amazing... Masterful talent coming out in the 60's...70's...80's it was unbelievable growing up in this era! LUCKY VERY LUCKY! Test of time music like this will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!
There will never be anyone like Freddie Mercury again, for something a bit different listen to things like his duet with Montserrat Caballe, Barcelona or some early Queen such as Great King Rat, you start to see his versatility and talent
First Queen song I ever heard 1974 as a senior in high school. What in the world was this voice and this harmonizing?????????!! Hooked ever since. Top of the Pops recording is amazing.
This song is absolutely amazing, as they all are. And Freddie completely blew everybody's minds when they made this appearance ... Queen should say: Earth, you're welcome!!!
The vocal agility required to sing this song is extremely rare. Only someone like Freddie could pull it off. But there is no one like Freddie any more. :(
This is the first song I ever heard from Queen, riding in the back seat of a car. It came on the radio. I was stunned. Never heard vocals so tight, guitar so precise. I was like "who the fuck is this?"
Freddie wrote and composed this song UK no 2us 12 1994 ( brian added guitar back from hospital..he had to adjust some of it..but basically composed by Freddie!) In interviews he said it was about a high class prostitute He told the guy he fancied it was about him But your saying she this she that No it's you a killer queen Its killing me I cant have you! In the uk queen is slang for gay "flamboyant or effeminate gay man" This guy had fancy cabinet he kept chardonnay in.. So he was made up he said I still love hearing that song maybe its inspired by me maybe he pulled that line on every guy he fancied! (He was still with mary nothing happened between them except holding hands!)
Freddie has a song "The great Pretender" in his solo album (written outside the Queen band). And "in one of his last videotaped interviews in spring of 1987, Mercury explained that the song was particularly fitting for the way he saw his career and being on stage" (c) wikipedia.
That was such a great performance. I remember the song when it was first recorded by The Platters way back in the middle of the last century. I laugh every time I see the name of the guy who wrote it, Buck Ram. 🤣
Such clever lyrics (it’s about a high class call girl) and i think it must be difficult to sing with all the note changes, but Freddie does it with ease. I’ll add my vote for White Queen live at Hammersmith. It will give you goosebumps
Love this song..lol the lyric is about a high class call girl, Freddie said it was about himself in a way. The way of life he lived that time. He was living with Mary, but the time had come, he came home later and later. Mary thougt he had a knew g-friend, but he was in gay-pubs. He told her what was happend in -76/77. They was in love with each outher til his death. Brian sings with his guitar becouse he used a six-pence as plecter. He said in an interview, I can feel the guitar thrue my whole body. Look at the vid again they film clouse to Brian’s hand. You are wonderful reacters 😊 pleas much much more QUEEN...lol
When did Freddie ever say that? He told the guy he fancied it was about him! He was going to bars then but his friends said they were promiscuous he wasn't He was with David 75

I love your reactions to Queen and Freddie Mercury. As you said, Freddie has many personalities. I'd LOVE for you to react to Freddie Mercury's BARCELONA song. Recorded 2 years before his death, he wrote this song to be sung by himself and famed opera singer Monserret Caballe. He died in 1991 but in 1992 this song was featured at the opening ceremony of the Olympics held in Barcelona. It's FIRE!! 🔥
This is my Favorite song Queen did, many overlook it. Shows Freddie Mercury as a performer and vocalist when he was much younger. His creativity was amazing. Freddie had a degree in Art and created the "Crest" representing all 4 band members.
This song was the first Queen song I heard back in 1974 when I was only 15 years old. I still love it. Queens signature harmonies, so beautiful. If you want to see this song sung live, I recommend it at their Montreal concert, but please do the medley with ‘I’m in Love with my Car’. Roger is going to AMAZE you!
This song was performed on Top of the Pops (British TVShow). This song is about an expensive call girl. 😂 They also performed LAS PALABRAS DE AMOR a few years later on the same show. It’s a fantastic song & written in honor of their South American fans! TEO TORRIATE was written for their Japanese fans .... it’s beautiful. You guys are great & thanks for the Queen reactions!! Freddie has a solo album called THE GREAT PRETENDER!! (Hint)
74 seven seas 74 killer queen 75 Then ofcourse bo rap first promo video 9 wks! 75 I'm here 76 somebody to love 77 good old fashioned lover boy 77 champions 80 bites the dust 81 pressure 82 last one la pal (Lot promo videos)
You have to go back to the 70's/80's guys, no internet, you were lucky if you could afford an album a month, therein lies your answer I think. Today there is so much choice, easy to become old real fast. Same with most things, look at football managers, very short lifespan compared to 20 years ago. Top of the Pop's came on once a week, no re runs, if you missed it you missed it, we had only 3 tv stations then, there is another reason. Longevity can be achieved today but you'll find they have to have talent and output. Queen were amazing at bringing out an album every year, unheard of back then. They started to wane in the early 80's with disco (Hot Space...OMG) but then Live Aid happened and a new generation got hooked and started buying up all the back catalogue of albums. Their debut is still for me up there as my fav along with Night at the Opera and Sheer Heart Attack. Their like will never be seen again and I was lucky to catch them twice live.
Remember they didn’t have the technology that we would have later on. They were putting voices thru guitar amps and the cabinets. Of organs with the tremolo on. John Deacon had his degree in electronics p. He could have done some things with speakers and amps. They all had their bachelors in their respective field. Brian now is studying dust particles at the sun with his doctorate. Freddys was art graphics and was responsible for a lot of their album covers.
In the UK ,students are taught music,which I think should be universal. The students who feel compelled to pursue music spend hours practicing;they know their instrument backwards & forwards. This is not possible on today’s insta-instrumentation. Another thing that made Queen exceptional was Freddie’s natural theatrical flair. This extended to how he would express a note,to costumes they would wear,even having input on the lighting. There were many rock stars in his time but he stood alone as the consummate performer.
This looks like the BBC music show Top of the Pops, which was a regular feature of Thursday night on BBC1 in the UK back in the 70's. A lot of bands mimed to their own tracks, but Queen didn't like it. This is documented in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, if you haven't already seen it.
This movie is full of mistakes and lies only for more drama, story about three good guys and one bad selfish guy, it ´s not the real Queen story and poor Freddie is someone else here
thanks, Bros --Freddie was so "stylish" - and Brian on guitar so precise... a great song - actually the first one I heard from them... Yep - I am old, and fiercely proud that I was able to see the band three times with Freddie as lead.. back as a teenager/early 20's -- so glad so many are newly discovering the talent - my BFF & I in high school were mocked for being so obsessed with this "weird band" -- they all missed the f-ing bus... but I suspect that after all these years, some may realize it -- ANYWAY -- I love your reaction- and look forward to more!
Great reaction. This is deceptively simple, this song has 29 different cords, with key changes, and rhythm changes. If you study music in Britain, you study Killer Queen alongside Beethoven. Freddie was a master of composition, but he wrote music in such a way that the music was still very catchy and accessible. The program was simply Top Of Pops, this song is Glam Rock and Vaudeville. This was the main program that intruded new music to public at the time. Check out more younger or 70's Queen, that and the 90's is the decades that Queen fans tend to love the most.
This was the first top 40 hit by Queen in the USA. Please be sure to check out some album cuts by Queen which are also "Killer Queen"! Check out the songs called Stone Cold Crazy and Sheer Heart Attack.
Check out My best Friend, nobody ever reacts to this song for some reason, would you please do it for a Fan, You guys are doing a great Job, where you guy's from? I hear that accent?😊👍👌👍👌😊💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
ALL Queen compositions are the highest quality,but their debut album,self titled,is STILL my favourite but is hardly ever mentioned. Its them at their rockiest,the whole album is brilliant but PLEASE check out Keep Yourself Alive (studio version this time) as it has one of the best opening riffs you'll ever hear.Brian May...literally a genius.
They're performing on a show called, Top of the pops, and back then getting on that show was key to your career. However, they HATED the fact that they had to PRETEND to play their instruments and LIP SYNC for the first time ever. Roger's drums were even stuffed with foam so they would make a sound when he hit them. (Hard to believe Freddie is Lip syncing here, isn't it? They NEVER Lip synced again as they felt like they sold their souls just to get on this show and their fans deserved better.)
Love you guys!! ❤❤ I am with you on the Queen journey. I find it unbelievable that Queen's legacy still lives on and is loved by sooooo many people around the world. Epic. Much bless and love to You.
Please react to 'White queen' live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975, 'Who wants to live forever' live at Wembley 1986. 'Under Pressure' live at Wembley 1986. 'Now I'm here' live at Wembley 1986.'Love of my life' live at Wembley 1986. ' You take my breath away' live at Hyde Park 1976.
Freddie was “omni personality” .. I have no idea if that’s a term but to me he has unique ability to physically, emotionally and vocally portray whatever he is doing. And when you listen to Queen the four of them make music that is unforgettable, timeless and uplifting. Queen 👑 🌹❤️
I will attempt to explain why Queen and other Seventies era bands were so memorable. This era was the golden age of all genres of music but in particular Rock music. The musicianship was incredible and in order to achieve success they strived to stand out as artists, different then each other but inspired by each other. I was fortunate to be a young teen in this era and to see and hear many of these performers in concert. They were truly incredible and although I listen to music of many eras and genres the seventies were the best...
Fabulous classic! Queen just makes everything better! This song is from their third album, Sheer Heart attack and was what catapulted them into the public eye. The ballad is about a high class call girl (aka courtesan). The show this video was for "top of the pops" was for all up and coming artists and unfortunately, it was required for the band to mime/lip sync to a playback track. Even the drum symbols were fake. 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.
This was the first Queen song I ever heard and I still love it. This is on the UK show Top of the Pops on the BBC. Groups had to lip sync but it was a great way to get heard. Roger, in particular hated it because they put tape on the cymbals so they didn't make a sound. You can see it in the video. The album this is on is Sheer Heart Attack which is Roger's favourite. He wrote a song with the same name which didn't get finished in time for the album. He finished it for News of the World and it became an encore song. Please react to Sheer Heart Attack live in Hammersmith 1979. Also White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Also the second single from A Night At the Opera John's song You're My Best Friend was a huge hit, especially in North America. Do the official video. You'll see John playing an electric piano. Because Freddie refused!
Please react to Miracle.At this point Freddie already got his AIDS diagnosis, but he decided keep on working till the end. This song is full of hope and positive energy. If you never see the MV before I guarantee you will be surprised
The difference is the energy that we had that is missing today. We felt we were free, could attempt anything and the world we were living in called for change and we responded. People today are subdued, don't connect with their own generation, almost go about mechanically, half-alive. It's hard to live in these uninspired times for that reason.
You got your answer to your question. Your reaction you've done so far have given you the in site. To the ones you do next but closing you eyes to a video you'll miss alot if you want to learn. From the feeling it give you, memories you had in your life so far, that you can relate too from the music you listen too. The passion the artists or groups give, the music that move you or plays with or messes with your emotions. If this doesn't help there are many great history music bios & documentary's out there like: UA-cam, VH-1 behind the seen, Unsung, The One & there are others. There 1 on Queen & the 1s you've done. There are movies out there like Queen, Elton John that came out recently & a hole lot more. There are so many books out there, here's a book to check out called The Hitman it give you a history of the music industry from the early days to the i think it was til the 70' s. It give you names & the ugly sides of the music industry. You have all the info. at your fingertips, we of older age we had get are in site from what are parents, friends listen to, radio, early music tv shows, going to dances & or concerts. If we want the music bad enough we bought the physical copy which was great cause beside the music we got to find out who were the artists & other info & the art work. The best thing i can tell you is your young explore all genres of music & don't get pigion holed. They all have great music & stories to telling & maybe somes in sites you might be looking for & or questions that can be answer to your life. Music a life stories & experiences with a rhythm. Some you will & will not like but that the great thing is many options to choose from. Just enjoy.
Fun Fact: Queen is the first and only band in history where all 4 member's have advanced University degrees. John Deacon has a degree in Electrical engineering, Brian May has his Phd in Astrophysics, Freddie had a degree in Art and fashion design, and....wait for it....Roger went to medical school to become a dentist!
I was three or four years old when this came out and already loved it. It just sounded great I guess( of course it did/does!) I'm 51 now and you two are great and passionate reactors, especially George👍👍Thumbs up for both of you.
Queen at Live Aid is renowned as the best set ever. Freddie had the whole of Wembley in the palm of his hands bearing in mind this was not a Queen concert. You will be blown away.
Just found your channel tonight. I love seeing people react to Queen for the first time. I saw them live (with Adam Lambert) in Nashville, TN in 2019. So much more than a GREAT show!
I remember when I was in my high school days , I got suspended of an algebra test because instead of studying I was listening to Queen greatest hits . It was 1981 , I could not stop listening to then take a book. I was also wondering why the world did not recognize Bohenian Rhapsody as the best rock track ever by that time , it took Freddy to die and then make a movie for the Media to claim that the song it’s best ever. Other songs like this was in the same high-produce Standard than the rest . It’s all about timing for the media to recognize and catapult a great artist to the top when they think it’s good form them . Ps: Bhemian Rhapsody was a 1975 song that did not make it great for the masses until the film Wayne’s World show it to America.
They performed two songs in 74 on top this and seven seas of rhye also Freddie song Partially included on their second album also released 74 (and heart attack 74 full version on this album) Seven seas was released first and became their first song on the top ten charts Brian wanted to have credit for writting the song seven seas as well as he added middle 8th I have no idea what that means freddie responded with a very firm no!

White queen Hammersmith odeon. Instrumental half way through will leave you speechless
You would totally be amazed at Dreamers Ball live in Paris!
Frisky Freddie !
Thanks for your Queen reaction 😍
YES!! Thanks guys...!
I love your reactions to Queen and Freddie Mercury. As you said, Freddie has many personalities. I'd LOVE for you to react to Freddie Mercury's BARCELONA song. Recorded 2 years before his death, he wrote this song to be sung by himself and famed opera singer Monserret Caballe. He died in 1991 but in 1992 this song was featured at the opening ceremony of the Olympics held in Barcelona. It's FIRE!! 🔥
This is my Favorite song Queen did, many overlook it. Shows Freddie Mercury as a performer and vocalist when he was much younger. His creativity was amazing. Freddie had a degree in Art and created the "Crest" representing all 4 band members.
Great reaction, Please do White Queen live at Hammersmith Oden 1975 x
This song was the first Queen song I heard back in 1974 when I was only 15 years old. I still love it. Queens signature harmonies, so beautiful. If you want to see this song sung live, I recommend it at their Montreal concert, but please do the medley with ‘I’m in Love with my Car’. Roger is going to AMAZE you!
Freddie...😍💕💕💕💕
This song was performed on Top of the Pops (British TVShow). This song is about an expensive call girl. 😂 They also performed LAS PALABRAS DE AMOR a few years later on the same show. It’s a fantastic song & written in honor of their South American fans! TEO TORRIATE was written for their Japanese fans .... it’s beautiful. You guys are great & thanks for the Queen reactions!! Freddie has a solo album called THE GREAT PRETENDER!! (Hint)

You have to go back to the 70's/80's guys, no internet, you were lucky if you could afford an album a month, therein lies your answer I think. Today there is so much choice, easy to become old real fast. Same with most things, look at football managers, very short lifespan compared to 20 years ago. Top of the Pop's came on once a week, no re runs, if you missed it you missed it, we had only 3 tv stations then, there is another reason. Longevity can be achieved today but you'll find they have to have talent and output. Queen were amazing at bringing out an album every year, unheard of back then. They started to wane in the early 80's with disco (Hot Space...OMG) but then Live Aid happened and a new generation got hooked and started buying up all the back catalogue of albums. Their debut is still for me up there as my fav along with Night at the Opera and Sheer Heart Attack. Their like will never be seen again and I was lucky to catch them twice live.
This was their first big hit from their first hit album. And the rest is history...
I love your reactions! One of my favorite channels.
Your so right about Brian May, his guitar speaks to you, he makes it sing in my opinion.
Remember they didn’t have the technology that we would have later on. They were putting voices thru guitar amps and the cabinets. Of organs with the tremolo on. John Deacon had his degree in electronics p. He could have done some things with speakers and amps. They all had their bachelors in their respective field. Brian now is studying dust particles at the sun with his doctorate. Freddys was art graphics and was responsible for a lot of their album covers.
In the UK ,students are taught music,which I think should be universal. The students who feel compelled to pursue music spend hours practicing;they know their instrument backwards & forwards. This is not possible on today’s insta-instrumentation.
Another thing that made Queen exceptional was Freddie’s natural theatrical flair. This extended to how he would express a note,to costumes they would wear,even having input on the lighting. There were many rock stars in his time but he stood alone as the consummate performer.
Loved your reaction. This is my favorite Queen song. Your reaction made my day. I am really enjoying your channel.❤️😀👍❤️✌️🌼
This looks like the BBC music show Top of the Pops, which was a regular feature of Thursday night on BBC1 in the UK back in the 70's. A lot of bands mimed to their own tracks, but Queen didn't like it. This is documented in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, if you haven't already seen it.
This movie is full of mistakes and lies only for more drama, story about three good guys and one bad selfish guy, it ´s not the real Queen story and poor Freddie is someone else here
thanks, Bros --Freddie was so "stylish" - and Brian on guitar so precise... a great song - actually the first one I heard from them... Yep - I am old, and fiercely proud that I was able to see the band three times with Freddie as lead.. back as a teenager/early 20's -- so glad so many are newly discovering the talent - my BFF & I in high school were mocked for being so obsessed with this "weird band" -- they all missed the f-ing bus... but I suspect that after all these years, some may realize it -- ANYWAY -- I love your reaction- and look forward to more!
Great reaction. This is deceptively simple, this song has 29 different cords, with key changes, and rhythm changes. If you study music in Britain, you study Killer Queen alongside Beethoven. Freddie was a master of composition, but he wrote music in such a way that the music was still very catchy and accessible. The program was simply Top Of Pops, this song is Glam Rock and Vaudeville. This was the main program that intruded new music to public at the time. Check out more younger or 70's Queen, that and the 90's is the decades that Queen fans tend to love the most.
This was the first top 40 hit by Queen in the USA. Please be sure to check out some album cuts by Queen which are also "Killer Queen"!
Check out the songs called Stone Cold Crazy and Sheer Heart Attack.
This song shows all the range of Freddie's voice!! It comes from my fave album, Sheer Heart Attack released in 1973!
Please more react Queen.
Another one bites the dust &
In the laps of the god .
Queen killer queen and im in love with my car live in Montreal
Yes, please!!!!
Check out My best Friend, nobody ever reacts to this song for some reason, would you please do it for a Fan, You guys are doing a great Job, where you guy's from? I hear that accent?😊👍👌👍👌😊💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
ALL Queen compositions are the highest quality,but their debut album,self titled,is STILL my favourite but is hardly ever mentioned.
Its them at their rockiest,the whole album is brilliant but PLEASE check out Keep Yourself Alive (studio version this time) as it has one of the best opening riffs you'll ever hear.Brian May...literally a genius.
They're performing on a show called, Top of the pops, and back then getting on that show was key to your career. However, they HATED the fact that they had to PRETEND to play their instruments and LIP SYNC for the first time ever. Roger's drums were even stuffed with foam so they would make a sound when he hit them. (Hard to believe Freddie is Lip syncing here, isn't it? They NEVER Lip synced again as they felt like they sold their souls just to get on this show and their fans deserved better.)
Love you guys!! ❤❤ I am with you on the Queen journey. I find it unbelievable that Queen's legacy still lives on and is loved by sooooo many people around the world. Epic. Much bless and love to You.
Please react to 'White queen' live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975, 'Who wants to live forever' live at Wembley 1986. 'Under Pressure' live at Wembley 1986. 'Now I'm here' live at Wembley 1986.'Love of my life' live at Wembley 1986. ' You take my breath away' live at Hyde Park 1976.
It's NOT just you......Queen (and FREDDIE ) rules !!!!!!
Freddie was “omni personality” .. I have no idea if that’s a term but to me he has unique ability to physically, emotionally and vocally portray whatever he is doing.
And when you listen to Queen the four of them make music that is unforgettable, timeless and uplifting. Queen 👑 🌹❤️
I will attempt to explain why Queen and other Seventies era bands were so memorable. This era was the golden age of all genres of music but in particular Rock music. The musicianship was incredible and in order to achieve success they strived to stand out as artists, different then each other but inspired by each other. I was fortunate to be a young teen in this era and to see and hear many of these performers in concert. They were truly incredible and although I listen to music of many eras and genres the seventies were the best...
You must listen to the 3 or 4 songs he sang with world famous opera singer Montserrat Caballe. They will blow your mind!
Please react to Queen ‘Headlong’ and ‘The Invisible Man’. Both very upbeat, happy songs. Thank you!
Bro's, You'll love their "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Another One Bites The Dust"
Another One Bites the Dust!
Fabulous classic! Queen just makes everything better! This song is from their third album, Sheer Heart attack and was what catapulted them into the public eye. The ballad is about a high class call girl (aka courtesan). The show this video was for "top of the pops" was for all up and coming artists and unfortunately, it was required for the band to mime/lip sync to a playback track. Even the drum symbols were fake. 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.
Queen ❤️
Simplemente..puro talento.. todos ❤
Well done guys, continue with Queen please, many suggestions below. Try millionaire waltz for somethingdifferent
This was the first Queen song I ever heard and I still love it. This is on the UK show Top of the Pops on the BBC. Groups had to lip sync but it was a great way to get heard. Roger, in particular hated it because they put tape on the cymbals so they didn't make a sound. You can see it in the video. The album this is on is Sheer Heart Attack which is Roger's favourite. He wrote a song with the same name which didn't get finished in time for the album. He finished it for News of the World and it became an encore song. Please react to Sheer Heart Attack live in Hammersmith 1979. Also White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Also the second single from A Night At the Opera John's song You're My Best Friend was a huge hit, especially in North America. Do the official video. You'll see John playing an electric piano. Because Freddie refused!
Please react to Miracle.At this point Freddie already got his AIDS diagnosis, but he decided keep on working till the end. This song is full of hope and positive energy. If you never see the MV before I guarantee you will be surprised
The difference is the energy that we had that is missing today. We felt we were free, could attempt anything and the world we were living in called for change and we responded. People today are subdued, don't connect with their own generation, almost go about mechanically, half-alive. It's hard to live in these uninspired times for that reason.
I’ve always loved this song from the first Queen album I ever bought
I really like your videos. The tone that the guitarist Brian May get's out of his guitar is like no other. Vocals are the best you can get.
You got your answer to your question. Your reaction you've done so far have given you the in site. To the ones you do next but closing you eyes to a video you'll miss alot if you want to learn. From the feeling it give you, memories you had in your life so far, that you can relate too from the music you listen too. The passion the artists or groups give, the music that move you or plays with or messes with your emotions. If this doesn't help there are many great history music bios & documentary's out there like: UA-cam, VH-1 behind the seen, Unsung, The One & there are others. There 1 on Queen & the 1s you've done. There are movies out there like Queen, Elton John that came out recently & a hole lot more. There are so many books out there, here's a book to check out called The Hitman it give you a history of the music industry from the early days to the i think it was til the 70' s. It give you names & the ugly sides of the music industry. You have all the info. at your fingertips, we of older age we had get are in site from what are parents, friends listen to, radio, early music tv shows, going to dances & or concerts. If we want the music bad enough we bought the physical copy which was great cause beside the music we got to find out who were the artists & other info & the art work. The best thing i can tell you is your young explore all genres of music & don't get pigion holed. They all have great music & stories to telling & maybe somes in sites you might be looking for & or questions that can be answer to your life. Music a life stories & experiences with a rhythm. Some you will & will not like but that the great thing is many options to choose from. Just enjoy.
Fun Fact: Queen is the first and only band in history where all 4 member's have advanced University degrees. John Deacon has a degree in Electrical engineering, Brian May has his Phd in Astrophysics, Freddie had a degree in Art and fashion design, and....wait for it....Roger went to medical school to become a dentist!
More Queen 👑❤️
I was three or four years old when this came out and already loved it. It just sounded great I guess( of course it did/does!) I'm 51 now and you two are great and passionate reactors, especially George👍👍Thumbs up for both of you.
Queen at Live Aid is renowned as the best set ever. Freddie had the whole of Wembley in the palm of his hands bearing in mind this was not a Queen concert. You will be blown away.
Just found your channel tonight. I love seeing people react to Queen for the first time. I saw them live (with Adam Lambert) in Nashville, TN in 2019. So much more than a GREAT show!
my favorite song how nice you guys 💋
👍👍 thanks guys ❤ ❤
I remember when I was in my high school days , I got suspended of an algebra test because instead of studying I was listening to Queen greatest hits . It was 1981 , I could not stop listening to then take a book. I was also wondering why the world did not recognize Bohenian Rhapsody as the best rock track ever by that time , it took Freddy to die and then make a movie for the Media to claim that the song it’s best ever. Other songs like this was in the same high-produce Standard than the rest . It’s all about timing for the media to recognize and catapult a great artist to the top when they think it’s good form them .
Ps: Bhemian Rhapsody was a 1975 song that did not make it great for the masses until the film Wayne’s World show it to America.
so great
They performed two songs in 74 on top this and seven seas of rhye also Freddie song
Partially included on their second album also released 74 (and heart attack 74 full version on this album)
Seven seas was released first and became their first song on the top ten charts
Brian wanted to have credit for writting the song seven seas as well as he added middle 8th I have no idea what that means freddie responded with a very firm no!
