Flick of the Wrist is Freddie doing both the high and low vocal. Queen was at odds with their management and this song's theme would be continued on the next album's Death on Two Legs.
I fell in love with Queen after hearing Bohemian Rhapsody on the radio in 1975. Bought the album "A Night at the Opera" and was hooked. My next purchase was Queen 1 and Sheer Heart Attack. Brian was the main reason that my love for Queen was developed and sustained.
Killer Queen was the first Queen song to get airplay in the Chicago area. I ran to the record store, not sure of the name of the song/album and bought Queen II (no Google remember!). Figured out quickly I was wrong, got Sheer Heart Attach, and a week later Queen (1st). These are all amazing and if you think of the other music at the time - it was so progressive. Saw them on the "Night at the Opera" tour. Unbelievable and talented!!!! Thank you for doing all of these!!!!
Same here..of course I played SHA on my Montgomery Ward stereo record player until the grooves wore out. You probably got it st Tower Records
Roger Taylor could've been the lead singer in many bands back in the day. He's also responsible for many of the crazily high backing vocals on many of the albums.
87 he was lead in his band the cross
I like his voice but he wouldn't have veen able to do the Queen catalogue
This is my favorite Queen album - they rocked HARD on this album. This is no "anthem rock" - sure, i like "We Will Rock You" but this album has none of that. They were still a band with something to prove and it shows.
Lily of the valley is underrated song, Freddie's vocal is amazing. Fantastic 4 individuals. Perfect talent! Queen is the greatest band of all time and their song is timeless. Thank you for your great reaction🙂
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Queen in 1977 at the Long Beach Arena in Southern California. They opened up with “Now I’m Here”. Brian started his guitar intro to a pitch black stage and then Freddie appeared on the right side of the stage standing on the speaker with just a single spotlight on him singing “Here I stand…look around around around” When he sang “You won’t see me” the lights went out. Then when he sang “Now I’m here” he was on the left side of the stage on the left speaker. He must have ran his ass off to get from one side to the other. He was the ultimate front man and the most incredible singer and showman! Miss him.
Just one of the most phenomenal group of brilliant musicians ever gathered together in one space/time ever. Your reactions are priceless.
Cool that you're doing these early albums from Queen. This album was the first one I bought from Queen, pulled in by the song _"Killer Queen"._
So much stank face, as I knew was inevitable.
I've seen others react as hard, but with Verdy, you know it's 100% genuine. Love it!
God, it's been years since I played this album from beginning to end. Hearing it again today, it sounds just as fresh and exhilarating as it did back in the 1970s. Thank you for this reaction!
Great reaction once again. Just a quick note, when Now I'm Here is winding down and Brian is playing sort of classic 50's guitar riffs and they all say "Go, go, go little Queenie" that's a little homage to rock pioneer Chuck Berry and his song "Little Queenie". Keep up the good work.
So nice seeing someone so young appreciate this amazing group, classic rock. I saw them at Wembley in '86, you would have loved it.
What an amazing band.
"Kil*ler Queen" has great lyrics. Read them if you haven't. Sheer Heart Attack is awesome. Love the cut at the end.
I like to see reactors who actually react! And that is what I observed here. Keep enjoying good music and Keep Reacting!
If anything, side 2 is better. The only reason this album was even made (second of the year after Queen II), was because they had to suspend touring due do Brian May contracting hepatitis from a dirty needle as he was being innoculated for Queens tour of Japan. He was bed riden for a large part of 1974 and at one point risked having to have his arm amputated. All he did in bed was sit and write songs... hence, two albums in a year.
Now I'm Here.
You are exposing my high school years. Nice to see you having the same reaction. We were pot smoking hesh kids, it was our soundtrack.
The Warning band grew up watching DVD concerts of Queen. If you get a chance to see them live don't hesitate and go watch them they will blow your mind.
After seeing all of the recommendations from RUclips shorts for The Warning, I finally checked them out. They are AMAZINGLY good, writing really catchy tunes. I downloaded the "Error" CD from 2022, then promptly pre-ordered "Keep Me Fed" (autographed by Pau) which is due in June. They are definitely on my bucket list of bands to see. The hype is real, people... And you gotta love chicks who rock!
Love it Verdy. My favourite Queen album and probably one of my top ten all time. The writing, musicianship, production, diversity of styles - all so so good.
This and the next two Queen albums could be the best 3-in-a-row anyone's ever done
It's a fabulous album!
One of my favourite Queen albums. Some of their early stuff was top notch. Lily Of The Valley has the final reference to the King of Rhye (who's now lost his throne) from the Seven Sea's Of Rhye (Queen 1 & 2) . Rogers solo stuff also work checking out, he's done some good stuff the last few years.
Watching these reaction videos brings me back as a kid listening to this album for the first time
GREAT reaction!! Absolutely love this album - each one from the beginning they developed their sound, and diversified it!! Can't wait for Side 2! Cheers!
Got hooked in 1974 as a 14 year old and hearing Killer Queen for the first time and even today still my favorite Queen album.
"Killer Queen" was a big hit for them about a year before we got, "Bohemian Rhapsody.". On the next album, they did another song or two like this.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but this is my favorite Queen album. Did Queen invent speed metal?
Brighton Rock is about a tourist beach area that they all have fond childhood memories about.
Killer Queen was the first track for Queen I heard on radio play. I was immediately smitten with the band. So different to anything else on air back then. The short length made it suitable for regular am fm radio.
In the UK Killer Queen was the first "slower" single we heard . We had had Seven Seas of Rye , and Now I'm Here , but this showcased Freddie's singing. I went and bought the album , and then retrospectively got into Queen One and Two 🎉
Yay, Ms Verdy dropping us another classic.
Let's go !
Great reaction to one of the best albums ever !
Killer Queen was the first song I loved from Queen, before Bohemian Rhapsody
Funny thing, the song "Sheer Heart Attack" meant to be the title track of this album, wasn't completed until 1977. It ended up on their "News of the World" album.
it would have been great to hear a version of it from 1974 and see how it compared to the '77 version 👑✊🏼🇬🇧
Thank you for a deep dive into these songs. I love your reactions. Every time I listen I try to listen to each instrument more thoroughly. It is so hard to do that because it’s hard to take Freddie’s voice out of the mix
Such a great album, with superb musicianship and writing, fun and very literate lyrics, and a booming, warm and expansive yet clean production! Freddie's gift for theatre is on full display, both in the lyrics and his way of singing them - as someone said, this is an album about everyday teenage experiences and moods, but they are carefully heightened by the theatrical presentation and the dramatic music, making them feel a bit larger than life.
I've known this album since I was ten years old or so, it has always been a favourite.
This album blew me away and we all got on board the Queen train. Next stop - Bohemian Rap !!
I saw em in the late 70s
Awesome show
KILLER QUEEN WAS MY FIRST QUEEN SONG LOL I WAS MAYBE 12?IM 60 NOW
Verdy where were you 45 years ago,I think you and me would have got on like a house on fire,love your reactions.
Haha my older sister had this album. It was my introduction to Queen. I played the hell out of this album!!!
Roger has the perfect gritty voice
This is my favorite and first Queen album. I had a feeling you would love the arrangements. "Killer Queen" got quit a bit of airplay in the US and that was my first exposure to Queen.
Drummer Roger Taylor sings Tenement Funster.
One of My top 3 albums EVER
Brighton Rock solo it's the base for almost every solo live from Brian.
This is slightly spellbinding.
It's like I'm being transported to my 17-year old self, having just finally bought this CD after growing up on Queen.
It is INSANE that this one and Queen II were released in the same year.
Those two and Bowie's Ziggy Stardust are my Top 3 of all time.
Thanks for doing this!
This is my favorite Queen Album.
First, thanks for the great reaction, VERDY, and thank you for exposing these amazing early Queen tracks to your loyal fans! Second, like Bryan Cutis has commented, I also bought Night at the Opera first, then in one purchase Queen I, Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack, and to this day they are among my favourite four albums from any group. You are also right, that on the album Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist and Lily of the Valley all flow together as if one track. Looking forward to seeing your face when you here "In the Lap of the Gods"!!!
Great Reaction, such a good side 1, brilliant
My moods and preferences tend to be changeable, of course, but I'd have to say that Sheer Heart Attack is overall probably my favorite Queen album. This is killer Queen all the way through.
Now Queen is here!!!
Yayyy Sheer Heart Attack album!!!
Thank you Verdy, and I love love love your Queen reaction ❤❤❤❤
3rd song is almost Danny Elfmanish
Omg i can't wait to see you react to the next album.. A night at the opera is the best ROCK album EVER!
Lily of the valley
Freddie did all the vocals
finally a reaction channel where someone really enjoys what is listening to. This was great!
Freddie had a 3 octave range
You are becoming my fav reaction channel - so natural, lovely and very knowledgeable in feeling the music and instrumentations - you have a natural gift of interpreting the music and layers in production deeply - I am a musician and songwriter myself (and know and love most of the albums for decades you covered here) and mean it from the heart. Another pro: you do whole albums! Keep the great job up, you are fantastic!
Sheer Heart Attack didn't have the general heavyness and prog-approach like Queen II, which really stands out as their most ambitious and heavy album, but it was their breakthrough especially with Killer Queen which merged pop rock with their proggy own style and Brighton Rock with Brian's ambitioned experimental guitar work, as you saw - he did it on stage up to 10'. He never wanted to include synthesizers or orchestras until 1980, but build (!!) the guitars himself to get the sound he wanted. Brian's Now I'm Here was their biggest live show song and was played at practically every concert until their last tour with Freddy.
Surprised you don't know Killer Queen, It reached #2 in the UK Singles Chart and became their first US hit (#12)
Maybe a bit before her time?
A Very GOOD album
Great reaction as always Ari. Looking forward to side 2.
First bought for Me Played it out of grooves
Superb album! Side 1 is richer and less crazy than Queen 2. Side B, on the other hand, is full of wonderful, crazy surprises... with Roger's high-pitched voice on the 1st track. Wayting your next rection for ths album and of course the next phenomal Album...Death on two legs
Saw this live twice First time September 1975
the first side of this album reminds me a bit of teenager's room but sounds good
Parallel Lines by Blondie is another album I believe warrants a full review. Seeing younger folk appreciate music is always good.
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Verdy, you like guitar. On youtube you can find Brighton Rock from the Live Killers Album. Live, they use this song for a guitar and drum solo. If you check it out, he's only playing 1 drum during the solo. The guitar solo is done with a delay peddal only, only one guitar. It slaps even harder than this.
Rabbit Queen 1
Mott the hoople referenced in now I'm here great band. All the young dudes written by David Bowie heaven ❤❤😊😊
😁👍✌️🤟🤘
Love the braces, girl! Truly like jewels in your mouth that you will one day miss. Nevertheless, Killer Queen was their marquee song from this album, which you relegate too lowly. I do love Flick of the
Wrist with you, however.
Your mom is going to have Cassettes of Queen (Maybe not now, but she did) Ask her LOL
A suggestion: Review an album from Roger solo, for example Happiness from 1994,
Little Feat -ruclips.net/video/AeQA4YcHJTM/видео.html
m ott the HOOPLE
George Harrison - Hear Me Lord
My favorite Queen album. They kinda lost me after this one.
Jaws
Drummer
Brighton Rock! you should do Brighton Rock (Studio version). Great reactions by the way, also many people overlook the sensational drumming. There is a vid of Roger's drums only studio recording of this which gives you an idea.
Roger Taylor Fun in space ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
