Imaginative and great performance but not best written. Lyrically, it's ok. Musically, great. Points for adding the opera sequence section. Points for varying the meter and style.
Some of the most gut-wrenching, hopeless lyrics ever written when he said, "I don't wanna die. I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all." That's POWERFUL!
I agree but the line "mama didn't mean to make you cry", "if I'm not back again this time tomorrow carry on as if nothing really matters". what a line .
I loved that the studio said how can we get a 6 minutes long song to play on the radio? That could never happen! And now it is probably the most recognizable and biggest rock song ever made :p
People are blown away by this song because of how much it changes but that's kind of in the title. In musical terms a rhapsody is one piece of music that has different parts or episodes that are free from one structure but somehow they all fit together even though the mood of the song can change drastically from one minute to the next. This song is a masterpiece of rock music :)
This song is pure masterpiece of rock music. From gentle balad through the opera, heavy metal to the smooth finish. You can walk through all of this with the Queen band only!
The problem with Queen is they have so many amazing songs, it's impossible to suggest just one or two. But here goes, White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975, Somebody To Love live at Montreal 1981, Another One Bites The Dust live at Wembley 1986, Save Me live at Montreal 1981, You Take My Breath Away live at Hyde Park 1976. A few studio versions, Death On Two Legs (lyric video), Seaside Rendezvous, The Show Must Go On, The Millionaire Waltz (headphones a MUST). Of course, their infamous 20 minute performance at the Live Aid charity concert in 1985. They were only one of many top acts that day, but they stole the show. It has been voted the best live rock performance more than once. I could go on and list so many more, ,Iike Bring Back That Leroy Brown, or My Melancholy Blues and soooo many more. Welcome to the wonderful world of Queen my friend.
a master piece - I was 10 yrs old - my school bus ride was about 40 minutes and it would play on FM Radio - imagine being 10 and this song comes out ... Master piece
queen opened a live aid concert it is amazing the way he could bring the people into his performance was amazing a star we lost too soon love the reaction
Nem eles acreditavam....não era uma platéia do Queen e eles conseguiram fazer todo mundo reger a música Radio Ga Ga como no video original. Foi tão forte que eles voltaram no final já à noite.
This is a classic performance, and way before auto tune, wrote their own music and lyrics and played the instruments plus sung as you said at times like angels, especially Freddy! may he R.I.P!
Almost all great music in the 80's was so emotionally powerful that the instrumental was essential as it allowed the audience to process what they were listening to before the heightened finally, some songs such as "Bohemian Rhapsody" absolutely needed this.
This song is a masterpiece, written by the legendary Freddie Mercury. He always left the meaning of the song to be interpreted by the listener, but many believe it was his ‘coming out’ song. The record company didn’t want it released as one song, they wanted to chop it up but the band wouldn’t hear of it. It was an immediate worldwide hit.
It's Freddie's story about being gay and being brought up in a conservative and religious family. The man he killed is himself, when he came to terms with who he was. He was torn by the thoughts that who he was would make his mother hate him and that he couldn't be part of his family and may go to hell. He also (I think) knew that who he was, was unavoidable and that he had to be who he should be so he was being blown by the wind and was content to let his fate be what it would be. The music is superb and the story captivating. It's a song from the man's soul and that is rare. Your reaction is beautiful.
It's hard to believe that this video is almost 50 years old! In the last years of his life Freddie Mercury the lead singer got involved in Opera. As always love listening to your reaction.
Freddy Mercury wanted to bring opera to the people, so he created a six minute opera. The man was a gift to humanity, just like Devinci and Mozart were.
God does everything for a reason. We are not aware of his plans! When this song first came out, I was 12. Even at that age, I was blown away by this masterpiece. Nothing else could compare. The story behind it's making, is pure proof there is a God, and he wants us to feel love!
Dying and killing was very big in 70's pop and rock music. The dad kills the daughter while trying to shoot the boyfriend. Leroy Brown is a bloody puddle, Big Jim Walker might as well have died on the same floor, One guy had joy, had fun, had seasons in the son and dies of "something." Chicago dies and a hundred caps are dead. Billy was a hero. Didn't work out for him. He shot the sheriff but didn't shoot the deputy. Lola loses Tony due to a fight with Rico at the Copacabana. Let's face it. Musically, the 70's were a bloodbath.
@@armadillotoe Any possibility, but this was before even Freddie understood he was gay. We attempt to put our 2020 spin on the song, but this was a 1975 song. Our rules don't apply.
For the time this was recorded it was a considered very amazing. No digital anything back then.It was all done on 16 track tape. The guitar player,Brian May is underrated. A great guitar player.
If you had been alive in the sixties you would understand that it led right into the music of Queen and others of the seventies. Today you have to wonder, but then, we were the wonder.
Don't take the lyrics so literally! Freddie Mercury wrote in metaphors, especially during the 70s when this song was written. He preferred the listener to apply their own meaning that was relavent to their own life to the lyrics.
@Snufkin Crimelord There is no right or wrong answer, and Freddie did write a story for this song to follow, it is like an opera. Personally, I will say the song about the industry. You can sign you should away with a bad contract, and as performer you always have to perform and put on a show even when you not in the mood for it. You have to suppress part of your personality to be a good entertainer to other people.
Didn’t Freddie say art is for the listener to interpret? I think your reaction and interpretation is very good and valid. Half the fun watching reactions is seeing a new perspective. I learn a little something about you by how you interpret art. It’s fun getting to know you, so thank you.
the "man" he killed was himself both figuratively and literally. He came out has being gay thus killing the image of the man he was and he had contracted the AIDS virus so he was literally dying. After he passed in '91 (if memory serves) this song re-entered the billboard charts and once again went all the way to #1.
@@tomdaniels7321 it's not about AIDS! yes he died of AIDS, but he didn't have it when they made Bohemian Rhapsody! Operas are tragedies, and how does AIDS apply to "momma just killed a man"? SMH
Queen takes you on the complete spectrum of emotions in this song from the greatest vocalist that has ever sang a song. He did opera and a ballad and ends with one of the most unforgettable rock songs that has ever been written in the history of rock and roll.
@@Lchristyhastings Definitely, the 60k singing at Hyde Park is something so beautiful to watch and listen to! I showed it to my girlfriend, she had goosebump! Spectacular!
@@JonathanGarcia-pq5hg "Pretty Woman" barely scratches the surface of Roy's range and ability, You are right, he was no Freddie Mercury and there is no other voice like Freddie's; but Freddie's marvelous showmanship propelled a lot of his impressive vocal dynamics. Roy Orbison's style is completely the opposite - he was essentially an opera singer without the flair... - nurturing a song until it was ready for a seductively angelic high note or crescendo. If you talk to a fan of music, that person would probably favor Freddie, but if you talk to a musician (which I am not, by the way), he or she would most likely favor Roy. Listen to "Leah", "Crying", "It's Over", and "In Dreams". You might still favor Freddie, but you'll gain a greater appreciation for Roy Orbison vocally. Cheers!
This song has more layers than an onion what a true masterpiece it is and always will be Freddie was a one off we will never see the likes of him again,his performance at live aid was truly incredible
This is one of the masterpieces of Rock and Roll. Queen was so amazing. Hard to imagine that Freddy Mercury has been gone already 30 years next year. :*( Looking at acts like Queen, Deep Purple, and so many others of that era, Baby Boomers, my parent's generation, were amazingly cool. Much more so than they typically get credit for. Although, as an honorary GenX... THAT is the best generation ever. ;)
Should use headphones for music reactions, unless you're deaf in one ear or something. Many songs have effects in them which can only be heard with headphones. This song is one of them😊
This is about Freddie himself and his realizing he is gay, so he is killing himself. This is a very deep song that you can interpret any way you want. Don't take it literally, it was written metaphorically. It's a great song no matter how you interpret it....
If this is what it means to you, fess up and just say so! If you do any research at all you will find that this myth has been disproven so many times and so many ways it is amazing that so many still keep repeating this lie.
May, Mercury, and Taylor reportedly sang their vocal parts continually for 10 to 12 hours a day. The entire piece took three weeks to record, and in some sections featured 180 separate overdubs. Since the studios of the time only offered 24 track analogue tape, it was necessary for the three to overdub themselves many times and "bounce" these down to successive sub-mixes. In the end, eighth-generation tapes were used. The various sections of tape containing the desired sub-mixes had to be spliced (cut and assembled in the correct sequence). May recalled placing a tape in front of the light and being able to see through it, as the tape had been used so many times.
@ShariSez1 it's more than obvious in the context of the song he's killing the man people think he is, to be a new one. In that times intolerance and violence against LGTBI people was riding high, so it could happen he won't return home next day... alive. Later on, for example, he sings about being 'stoned' and being 'spit in the eye' just for his sexual choices. So yeah, this is about a fake bohemian life that is, for real, a rhapsody (many different parts -of his life- unrelated one to another).
@@oskarobit Oh, drat, I knew I shouldn't have posted that, but I did, so here goes. It is not my original idea, but one posted on another reaction. I liked the explanation, but don't remember all the details. I'll do the best I can. First, there is the crime, then the deal with the devil, as in "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me." Then he seeks redemption, "...let me go." "No, no, we will not let you go," but it is too late. "Nothing really matters." Yeah, I know, it leaves out all the misadventures in between. But Freddie said he had ideas for three unfinished songs and decided to just cobble them all together and make a rhapsody out of it all. I'm sorry I can't explain it as well as the guy who made the initial comment. I wish he would come here and bail me out. 😎
Probably one of the top 2 or 3 songs of all time - Here's a recommendation: Queen "Under Pressure", the version with David Bowie (the original music video) Thx EJJ!
Hi beautiful girl,here's some greats songs by Queen:Don't Stop Me Now,Save Me,Under Pressure,Who Wants To Live Forever,The Miracle,Spread Your Wings,These Are The Days Of Our Lives,Innuendo,The Show Must Go On,Friends Will Be Friends,It's A Hard Life,Love Of My Life,Radio Ga-Ga,Killer Queen...
I’ve read several of the comments and some interesting theories. The fact is, He loved opera. His record company refused to record, so they moved on. The name of the album is ‘A Night at the Opera’ so tragedy lies within the words. I love ❤️ your reactions and look forward to hearing more 🙏🏻
Watch Nightwish,"Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013. 10 minutes of tempo changes and a singer that has a voice that. Well just listen. It is amazing. It's called symphonic metal.
Your reactions are priceless. Your smile is captivating. It's amazing watching somebody so young enjoying the music from my day. There's so much more keep digging.
There was NO autotune in those days. That is REAL talent!
This song is 45 years old, and is still making a huge impact on people. It's a masterpiece.

You need to listen to this song with headphones on. It’s a different experience with it on, especially during the opera portion.
Your reaction was priceless. Imagine how we first experienced it back in 1975. No one had ever heard anything like this.
Freddie could sing a phone book list and still would be amazing..
The guy with the guitar, made his guitar, helped write the song and is playing his guitar and singing..
Its a rock anthem, perfection. Real music.
One of the greatest bands
I seem to remember we all reacted like that when it first came out.
There was NOTHING quite like Queen back in the day. Nor today either.
@@bumblebeebob I was in 8th grade and I remember the chorus class was all buzzing about this song, something unlike we have ever heard.

I’ve probably listened to this song over a thousand times by now, if not more, and it still blows me away every time I listen to it.
She got it, the fans got it...but the critics didn’t.
But in the words of Queen, “nothing really matters, anyone can see.”
At the time - a lot of media at the time was catering to the “ Christian family” tho - behind the scenes the music community lost its marbles
They have more than one greatest hits albums so plenty of songs, radio hits or album cuts to choose from! QUEEN ROCKS!!!!

Yeah, I know, it leaves out all the misadventures in between. But Freddie said he had ideas for three unfinished songs and decided to just cobble them all together and make a rhapsody out of it all.
I'm sorry I can't explain it as well as the guy who made the initial comment. I wish he would come here and bail me out. 😎

I’ve read several of the comments and some interesting theories. The fact is, He loved opera. His record company refused to record, so they moved on. The name of the album is ‘A Night at the Opera’ so tragedy lies within the words. I love ❤️ your reactions and look forward to hearing more 🙏🏻
Watch Nightwish,"Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013. 10 minutes of tempo changes and a singer that has a voice that. Well just listen. It is amazing. It's called symphonic metal.
That entire concert is amazing. Floor is out of this world vocally. Great recommendation
i love your good energy
