This song was written by Brian to express his disgust with the British press and their relentless coverage of Brian's divorce and speculation about Freddie's health. It was impossible for either of them to be in public at all and not be hounded by reporters and paparazzi. I love the intensity of this song. Thank you for another excellent reaction.
As others have said, this song was written by Brian. It was about his marriage breaking up while having an affair with Anita Dobson (who became his wife). Brian became deeply depressed and close to suicide. He came to the US for mental support at a program. His other song referring to this time in his life is “TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU”. Listen carefully to the words he wrote, he was in terrible pain.
While Queen had done away with individual songwriting credits by this album, this was predominantly a Brian May song, though the lyrics are a perfect fit for Freddie's treatment by the tabloids and I am sure that he might have felt a connection to the song on a personal level also, or perhaps was involved in suggesting lyrics.
Thanks David. Incredible breakdown of this song. I believe it also had to do with Brian's breakup with his wife at the time. It's such a shame that nothing could be kept private. Four good men that the press just had to try to destroy. But I think Queen rose above all the scandal.
Great commentary June 👏they showed on many occasions just how strong their characters were! To put up with the crap from the press ! No wonder John refused to even talk to them!we as fans will always acknowledge their strength of character 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@juneduhigg5936 Queen are still as popular now as they were years ago but where are the arsehole journalists that tried to destroy them? they are irrelevent and total nobodies, whereas Queen will be with us for decades yet, so it looks like Queen won that war and rightly so 👑✊🇬🇧
The headline that hurt me the most after Freddie died read "Freddie's Dead" who does that, how absolutely SICK! No emotion, no compassion, just a sense of Ha! I was right! They should all feel so ashamed! The two things I truly wish people would remember about Freddie is first HE WAS A HUMAN BEING! And second, he made the world a much more beautiful place, and he did it ON PURPOSE! How many people can you honestly say that you know like that? Just my thoughts 💭 And Screamo guitar... Put Out The Fire 🔥 Amazing!
Good one David! I think it's amazing that Queen didn't do a song and video like this long before. The music press just loved to hate them! However their huge popularity afforded them the ability to ignore a lot of it for years. Is it any wonder that Freddie asked his band mates not to reveal his Aids diagnosis? They protected him right to the end.
Freddie and the whole band were hounded, i believe this song had something to do with brian mays own struggles but very appropriate as a whole. These guys were just incredible and i cant get enough information about them.
Great reaction as always! I'm pretty sure that this song was about the end of Brian May's marriage and his relationship with his current wife. The tabloids had a field day. However, Freddie being the consummate interpreter of music made it his own and you're right he probably definitely used his own experiences with the tabloids in his performance. I think your right his voice just got better and better. Maybe because he wasn't constantly touring at this point which I imagine could be hard on his vocals.
Loved your reaction to this. It was also right sweet when you said about his beard suiting him as I've seen other reactors just dwell on why he had his beard . That was a refreshing change. Another great reaction 👍👍🙂
Thank you so much David 👏 from the sonic volcano! Roger and John ! rock solid at the back, to Freddie's incredible vocals and Brian's phenomenal guitar! The emotion that Brian exspresses in that song ..... love it💞 Brother padraig 👍 there we go Brother!! What's next padraig 👍
@@jackierichardson901 I loved those songs that brought us all together.... the miracle,one vision and the superb We're all god's people 👍 uniting us all regardless of race, colour or creed.The best education I've ever had was through Queen's music 💖 Take care Jackie stay safe sister 🙏
Thank you for doing this one. It was written by Brian May. Originally referring to the hounding of the gutter press about his divorce and his romance with Anita Dobson who he is now married to. Obviously about how the same vultures in the press tortured Freddie. It covers both guys disdain for the press. Still the same now. I hate them too. I don't know how they sleep at night! Anyway, rant over. Great reaction and Freddies' voice! Oh man! How did he do it? Legend!
Hey man! I’ve been watching you since you first started reviewing Queen. Thanks for spreading the love and continuing the reactions! Please consider reacting to their full live concerts (Wembley and Montreal are some of the best examples). We would definitely love to watch even if they are longer than what you are used to :)
Great reaction! I had to chuckle when you mentioned the 'Lap of the Gods' video reaction. One of my favorites..your expression is priceless. Thanks to everyone who requests songs, every day one will get into my head as my favorite. Love you all for loving David's channel.
Not a song I listen too that often so thank you for reacting too it. Always just thought this was about the way the press treated Freddie. Didn't know it was also about Brian's. I learn a lot from your other fans
Hey Queenie Carol! Your not kidding sister! I used to think I had a lot of knowledge about Queen !! The things I've learned from our fellow Queenie's.... amazing! Great knowledge and passion 🙂 long may it continue Carol ❤️ take care sister Stay safe 🙏
Amazing reaction David as always the press were absolutely horrible to Freddie so heartbreaking the way he was hounded it must have been so hard on all of them please please can we have The Miracle next such an amazing song and so touching thank you take care x x
@@allanriach glad you agree with me Allan such an amazing song and so sweet it doesn’t get the reactions as much as other queen songs which is a shame x x
Thanks David, you did a great job again. 👏My favourite sentence is "And no-one ever really knows the truth from the lies" and as far as I know the press didn't just hate the band, but created egregious lies, too. The lyrics of Death On Two Legs was simply vicious (as Freddie said it), but the band was surely sick of the whole manhunt at this point and the lyrics reflects that well.
Brilliant reaction David a very underrated song x as you have gone a long way down the Queen rabbit hole you have done Days of Our Lives would you react to part one of the trilogy I’m Going Slightly Mad, Days of Our Lives would be part two & the final part No one But You ( Only The Good Die Young) I watched a video by Rudi Dolezal who directed a lot of Queens videos he said they didn’t set out to do a trilogy but they naturally fit together thank you x
Like Freddie sings/ they are left with wounds. Such a talented band/ each man with private lives- to see them dogged by the press is reprehensible-. I love your reaction because you are hearing it all! Freddie was so ill and fragile still fighting for the right things! This bit has nothing to do with the song but I have to at Freddie was a most beautiful human being-💛
When I see your reactions are up I have to drop whatever I’m doing and listen to your incredible breakdown of each song. This song is so sad but he is able to express his anger. They aren’t just icons they are real people with intense feelings which is why they are great musicians and song writers.
One of my favs off the album! I think it’s terrible how the media treated Queen and especially Freddie! All the false narratives re: Freddie’s health and/or Brian’s marriage!! Really really annoying!! I know Freddie wasn’t feeling well during filming but IMO Freddie’s eyes convey deep sadness!! 🥺 On a happier note please check out I’M THE INVISIBLE MAN & THE MIRACLE.
Fine suggestions Debra 👏👏👏dear God the miracle ❤️ can you imagine David's reaction to that 🤣😂🤣 I can't my imagination doesn't stretch that far Deb's 😂😂😂 bring it on siss 🤗
Yeah the media was always trashing Queen, and particularly Freddie. Freddie grew to mistrust them. Queen kept rising though which pissed the press off even more. But we Queen fans loyal as always loved Queen even more, it was Queen and us fans who stood against them all the way. I've been fan for 42 years, and I'm sure many watching your reactions have been fans just as long, we love them. Great reaction 🙂
Another great review, man. As others here have already stated, this was written by Brian (who was really going through it at the time). Fred was really pretty ill on the day of shooting this promo - but he gave it his all as usual (absolute trooper that man). Too Much love Will Kill You (another Brian-penned number about his struggles at that time) was also meant for this album but was pulled because of contractual issues at the time.
You might want to give a listen to Roger's "Dear Mr. Murdoch" which was on his 1994 album Happiness. I'd suggest the lyric video just to get the full impact of Roger's real feelings about the media tycoon.
Yes,yes,yes 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 absolutely Sheila👍 one of my favourite songs from Roger.I have friends who never liked Queen! But they loved this song.I adore Roger's solo material.....fight club..... bloody marvelous 👏👏👏👏 take care of yourself Sheila stay safe sister 👍🙏🤗
I believe Brian May wrote the lyrics to this song. Even though the whole band is credited for it. I think it was about how the press covered his affair with Anita Dobson while he was still married to his first wife.
Thanks, Jack! I've been waiting for this one -- I love how strong Freddie is.... and I wish I could find that jacket! lol (BTW, I wrote this comment before I saw your reaction... funny you also notice that awesome coat! I once tried to find out who designed it... no success... okay "jack it" I'm now hear as "jacket" lol)
Wow What a reaction One of my favourite ❤️ Wonderfully and eloquently broken down & shared passionately 😊 Fred was on fire 🔥 here, such swagger & style always Thanks David Greetings from Africa Fred’s birthplace ❤
Queen struck back to the media with dignity and another great Queen song. The media was like voracious "rats" going through trash and garbage to make a headline and if they couldn't find it,they embellished it for shock factor. Well done Queen,you got them in the "ballocks."
I think Miracle is Queen's best album of the 80ies. Besides more Queen reactions please react to Mdou Moctar a brilliant guitarist from Africa. You'll be stunned how good he is . Chismiten, Afrique Victime orTarhatazed live on KEXP are must to react for any music lover
First thank you your Excitement an Joy always brings a smile to my face an this was a Brain May lyrics an had slot to do what was going on in his life as well as Freddie's 😢 GOD BLESS QUEEN FOR ALWAYS BEING STRONG AN MAKING IT THRU MISS YOU Freddie an John ! Queen fan forever ♾️🙏😘🥰💛👑👑👑👑🌹🌹🌹🌹💯🌟🌟🌟🌟
Mi chiedevo: chissà quando scoprirà Scandal? È una delle mie canzoni preferite...il mood è perfetto e la sua voce limpida è va dritta nel cervello e poi boommm brividi
Great reaction again David! and now to staying power live at the bowl, make sure you hear freds dialogue before introducing the song and the reference to the negativity around the hot space album that was around at the time in some quarters and the response is this stunning performance......enjoy
The brutal tabloids especially in the UK. Destroys lives and hurts so much. Good for Freddie expressing his feelings and Brian's. Reminiscent of "Death on Two Legs"
Finally someone pays attention as it should to such a criminally underrated song like this...👏👏👏 "Scandal" is a diss track written by Brian for the tabloids...As per usual the all year's sick game against the band writing "sh*t" about them. How pathetic! It was about Brian's marital problems, his becoming divorce and the new love affair with his now wife. Also the loss of his father and Freddie's illness drove him to attempt to commit suicide. On the other hand, rumours and speculations about Freddie's health were being spread... Reporters staying outside of his house, chasing and stalking him 24/7... Freddie felt like a prisoner at his own home. Imagine someone watching every move and breaking into your house with a camera. Or searching your dustbin(!) to find the evidence you need for your next big fat headline! Outrageous? Yes, they had done all that...They had no scruples! The morons had gone to the greatest lengths to find the truth. Because they are vultures. It's disgusting. 🤢😡 And so Freddie's answer to all that paranoia and madness was through the music and this song. And later with "Innuendo". I love this song so much. Thank you for your great reaction. Up to the next...
Amazing song. I was looking for Another One Bites the Dust and it looks like you only reacted to the wembley live. That one is great but the official video is iconic - its a must see. Please react to it when you can. Thank you. Love your reactions.
Great song choice David! I love scandal: on vinyl it annoys my neighbours ! Are You still not Ready for this:? ruclips.net/video/A-4wY7Lh-xM/видео.html " That sexy smile, you dont fool me, those pretty eyes....mmmmh Mama said be careful of that girl Mama said you know that shes no good...." i think its one of queens best Songs, its recorded 1991 one of freddies last vocal takes ever and what a guitar solo... god, what a solo ! And such a great bassline as well. The whole Song has a great mood
Great reaction to a classic Queen song, Have you done a reaction to Freddie and Montserrat How can I go on, absolutely beautiful song, Freddies voice is so powerful at times in that song, also you can clearly see the affection they had for each other
You know what ?? I really appreciate someone who actually knows what they’re talking about when reviewing Queen as opposed to others just looking for click bait Loving your music too love Newspapers ??? They were vitriolic when Freddie was in his final days !!! Years on he still lives through the generations..The journalists that hounded him ??? No idea and no one cares lol 😂
I love all Queen songs however when you see Freddie in beard he is trying to hide the something sarcomas. ( I forget medical terminology) What are the pix on your wall?
Queen were not particularly enthralled with this video. They said they though it was a bit boring and they felt kinda separated.. where others are where they interact with one another. This was about how the media never left them alone. Brian's affair with Anita, his marriage ending and obviously how the never left poor Freddie alone. Roger was also Scandalised in the paper for his affair with the "flake advert" model. Mind you Roger was a bit of a naughty boy. He had tons of affairs. Lol. Mind you, the media is no better today.. the lyrics "nobody knows the truth from the lies" is ever prominent today.
Mate the British newspapers are some of the worst in the world, some right poison comes out of them. On a more positive note though a great song and a bit of a hidden gem. Another great Queen song I'd recommend to you is Good Company. It's a Brian May one off A Night At The Opera. Brian creates an entire jazz band out of just guitar, it really is something else. All the best mate.
I love this song, Freddie floating across the stage , came out when I was experiencing a terrible time in my life due to a breakup with a girl I'm still in love with , but not with. The NEW Miracle Sessions version is only the backing track , very cool version.
On n'ecoute même pas le single,il ne fait que parler et le reste du single où il est, ça m'a encore d'un qui boit et qu'il n'est pas si intéressé que ça.

Roger didn't like it
If your going to make a statement make a statement!
If Freddie was writting this/suggesting I doubt it would be this tame!
The best thing you said was they did away with individual writing credits,that was your only truth.
@@lynette. No. Brian did write it about his own life and also about Freddie. So what's not the truth?
@@lynette.
Brian did write it
He was having an affair ehen his wife was expecting/had their third child
Love Freddie 's voice in this song, your reactions are always great 👍

And such a great bassline as well. The whole Song has a great mood
Great reaction to a classic Queen song, Have you done a reaction to Freddie and Montserrat How can I go on, absolutely beautiful song, Freddies voice is so powerful at times in that song, also you can clearly see the affection they had for each other
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Freddie’s voice was off the chart beautiful ❤️
Heart and soul in this song 💔❤️
One thing is for sure if he was alive today he wouldn't be using auto tune.
You know what ??
I really appreciate someone who actually knows what they’re talking about when reviewing Queen as opposed to others just looking for click bait
Loving your music too love
Newspapers ??? They were vitriolic when Freddie was in his final days !!!
Years on he still lives through the generations..The journalists that hounded him ??? No idea and no one cares lol 😂
I love all Queen songs however when you see Freddie in beard he is trying to hide the something sarcomas. ( I forget medical terminology)
What are the pix on your wall?
Queen 👍.
Queen were not particularly enthralled with this video. They said they though it was a bit boring and they felt kinda separated.. where others are where they interact with one another. This was about how the media never left them alone. Brian's affair with Anita, his marriage ending and obviously how the never left poor Freddie alone. Roger was also Scandalised in the paper for his affair with the "flake advert" model. Mind you Roger was a bit of a naughty boy. He had tons of affairs. Lol. Mind you, the media is no better today.. the lyrics "nobody knows the truth from the lies" is ever prominent today.
Mate the British newspapers are some of the worst in the world, some right poison comes out of them. On a more positive note though a great song and a bit of a hidden gem. Another great Queen song I'd recommend to you is Good Company. It's a Brian May one off A Night At The Opera. Brian creates an entire jazz band out of just guitar, it really is something else. All the best mate.
I love this song, Freddie floating across the stage , came out when I was experiencing a terrible time in my life due to a breakup with a girl I'm still in love with , but not with.
The NEW Miracle Sessions version is only the backing track , very cool version.
tutti frutti in budapest pleaseee
React to "Living on my own", by Freddie mercury. It's really good. One of his solos.
This is the song playing at the end of 'the great pretender video".
You need to react to good old fashioned lover boy by queen.
Actually, Brian wrote this.. :)
How is it a true reaction if you know the song already?
On n'ecoute même pas le single,il ne fait que parler et le reste du single où il est, ça m'a encore d'un qui boit et qu'il n'est pas si intéressé que ça.
Fake reaction
