TraENT - I hope you use the new buds to listen to Millionaire Waltz again to pick up that AMAZING bass. The first part of the song was all just piano and a wonderful intricate lesson in how to play bass. I often listen to the intro over and over...eargasmic! Long live Deakie!!!!!
The harmonies are usually always Roger and Brian (John doesn’t have much of a singing voice lol) and Roger has an incredible falsetto! Brian was quite good at the lower parts as well!
@@gaztl1000s It really stands out because I'm not sure if any other bands of that era, or this era for that matter, have done a bass line that's so inspired by classical music, which is kind of a broad term. Most people use "Classical" as sort of a catch-all term for everything pre-twentieth century. The waltz aspect of this sort is kind of Romantic era music, a little later on than the Classical era. And the awesome bass at the beginning isn't really there to keep beat, but its playing it's own melody like a counterpoint to the piano. It's own distinct tune but complementing the piano melody like a back and forth conversation. That sort of thing is very Boroque influenced, which was right before Classical, like the time of Bach. They must've really had a thorough knowledge of all the different styles in music history and how to couple them together *and* add a dose of modern rock into it as well. They take the sort of melody line that wouldve been played by a violin a century ago and substitute an electric guitar and it works so well. And it's more impressive that he's picking it out on a guitar compared to a violin with a bow. The dexterity in that is pretty impressive. Same thing with the bass. I dont think many other rock bassists play such intricate riffs with that level of ease, if their music gives them no reason to. These guys were all upping their standards, writing music that really challenged their abilities, and their creativity. It's not just that Freddie was an amazing singer, but Queen was an amazing collaboration between a group of brilliant individuals, and that also doesnt come along very often.
Having only one ear piece in you miss half of the melody because of how they multi tracked, you'll hear John playing a beautiful melody on the bass with both in 👍👍👍
Freddie, Brian and Rodger always do the Layered Vocals ..In Bohemian Rhapsody Freddie layered a majority of them himself. The song Millionaire Waltz is just what the title suggests (It Is A Rock song written in the form of a Classical Waltz )
One of my all time favorites. One of Queen's greatest strengths are their diversity. This song is just another example of a rock band doing non rock band things and making it sound amazing.
If there ever was a song you need to hear in stereo it's this. If you were listening to it with only the right channel you missed alot. I would call this music progressive? And unique.
Usually songs that have that classical feel to it were written by Freddie, about the harmonies, in most of their songs the harmonies are sung by Freddie, Brian and Roger (Roger for example has a really high raspy voice so it's easy to tell his voice apart from the others)
Yesssss, finally! Thanks for taking up our suggestion man, glad you enjoyed it as much as we did! Definitely one of their best imo. And yeah, this is absolutely a Freddie song. The sheer complexity and over the top-ness of the melody and lyrics is a clear indicator of that.
React to Lap of the Gods live at the Rainbow and of course Freddie is amazing, but check out Roger and his range. Flipping AMAZING! Then do some reactions to Roger's solo stuff. His voice is amazing, but he is a masterful lyricist.
Day at the Races band credits were: Freddie Mercury - Vocal, Piano, Choir Meister, Tantrums Brian May - Guitars, Vocals, Leader of the Orchestra Roger Taylor - Drums, Vocals, Percussion, Pandemonium John Deacon - Fender Bass
One of my favourite Queen songs. I love Freddies, Brian’s and Rogers harmonies in this so much. Brian’s Red Special sounds like an orchestra in its own right a lot of the time. The big crescendo at the end with Rogers drum fills is one of my favourite parts. I never get sick of hearing it.
When Freddie sings the part with “My fine friend, take me wiz you und luv me, forever…” in a vaguely German accent, he’s imitating the style of the legendary entertainer and actress Marlene Dietrich, whom he idolized.
@@mik5578 I REALLY LOVE YOUR METAPHOR .I started to laugh SOOOOOO.HARD. I'm so glad I went to the comment section. Especially when you said "Its like smelling a flower upside down It"s just wrong" LMFAO I've actually never heard someone saying that but it sure is accurate in this case.
Millionaire Waltz is kind of like the major key, uplifting counterpart of Bohemian Rhapsody. They both start with a simple theme, Freddie and the piano, goes on a similar journey of shifting into different parts that sound more classical/operatic, then more rock, going in interesting directions, unexpected instrumentation. And finally coming full circle back to the theme they started with, but with more harmonizing and instruments added. Then Freddie and the piano alone again at the end. But where BR ends on a more tragic, "nothing really matters much to me" mood, Millionaire Waltz ends triumphantly, hopefully: spring in the air, music and love everywhere, and Freddie contented and feeling like a millionaire. Dont know if it was conciously planned like that, but the songs seem like mirror images of each other...
I think what I enjoy most is just seeing others react as strongly to their music as I do. I just love it. But there's not a whole lot of people that enjoy its complexity. So thanks for sharing your joy with us.
Yeah, 3/4 time doesnt automatically equal waltz. The stress on the first note, like *oom* pa-pa gives it that waltz rhythm. In some sections it has a smoother 3/4 time, like "once we were mad, we were happy", and "my fine friend.." which is like 1 note held out for three beats in the first few measures. It even has the switch up that sounds more rocking "Come back to me, how I long for your love" part that briefly switches to 4/4 time. But he really nails the waltz time with the piano playing at the beginning, and the part in the middle with the guitars harmonizing together. 3 quarter notes per measure, stress on the first. I'd say it earns it's title very well😀
In most parts of most songs all three sing but according to Wiki and other sources Freddy does all the vocals in some songs and I guess in this song all Three sing in parts and it is just Freddy in smaller parts.
Oh, no, no no! You can't do Millionaire Waltz with only one earbud! (I mean, you can't do any Queen song with only one, but ESPECIALLY not Millionaire Waltz!). You missed John's beautiful genius intro and his intricate bass work! Please go back and listen again, it will give you new appreciation for it!
Dang. Was going to watch and then saw you did it with one earbud in. That’s like not even listening to the song. Or listening to a bad cover of it. The vocals and FANTASTIC bass line were on separate tracks and this song, more than most, completely separates them when you use earbuds or headphones. Sad. Please, use both next time. 😕
TraENT, one reason there is a debate over Queen '70s versus Queen '80s. In the '70s their music was Ornate, loaded with multi-track and impossible to replicate at Live Shows. But that is where my heart lies. I struggle to think of anything from their '70s catalog that I don't like.
lusmas99 - Amazingly, often their live versions were as good as or better than the studio versions. When I saw them live I was amazed how their intricate musicianship and harmonies stood up in concert.
I realised that as soon as I posted it, I've actually got millionaire waltz as my parents ring tone, I'd got my comments mixed, I knew it was replying to this, but for some reason my mind started thinking it was Andy & Alex reaction to love of my life 🙈🙈
How can you possibly appreciate all that is going on musically...the whole right side track of music of the stereo sound mix.....if you are only listening with the left earphone???? You are missing half of what was recorded for every song! ???
THANK you for your reaction! I acknowledge my weirdness before making the following comment - when I listen to this one, I open another tab with people waltzing - then enjoy listening while watching waltzers go 'round & 'round. Yeah, I have no life.
Really great reaction. With Queen you need to keep playing even though it seems like the song is over. Unfortunately, you missed some of it. You have an excellent ear any notice so many nuances that others miss. Bravo to you!

It's one of the best tunes I've ever heard for the bass rhythm, deacy seems to come up with memorable bass lines, but this was something else 👍👍
The harmonies are usually always Roger and Brian (John doesn’t have much of a singing voice lol) and Roger has an incredible falsetto! Brian was quite good at the lower parts as well!

Missed a whole bass solo with the piano intro lol
Listening to queen with only one earbud in is sort of like committing a music fan’s cardinal sin 😉
It's hurting me to watch because I know he can't hear literally half the song, lol
So he probably couldnt really hear that bassline at the beginning... yeah, needs a re-listen with both...
OMG right???? I was thinking the same thing then saw your comment. I love it when I feel other people see and feel music the way I do.
@@hollyodell4012 The bass line!!! hell Yes!
John’s bass line is masterful in this one... definitely re-listen with both buds in !
Freddie, Brian and Rodger always do the Layered Vocals ..In Bohemian Rhapsody Freddie layered a majority of them himself. The song Millionaire Waltz is just what the title suggests (It Is A Rock song written in the form of a Classical Waltz )
This song is Freddie's. It screams "I'm a Freddie song" actually :P
🤔

Finally,... my favorite Queensong 👑... Great reaction man! 👍

I would call this music progressive? And unique.
It should be banned listening this mono or with one earbud. It's a literally a crime
merqury5 prog meets British dance hall. Queen definitely was touched by prog. Their style defies categorization.

When I think of Queen catalog I think "buy one take three" kind of songs. Geniuses
Another Queen epic in 3/4 time! Don't know any other rock bands who would dare.
React to Lap of the Gods live at the Rainbow and of course Freddie is amazing, but check out Roger and his range. Flipping AMAZING! Then do some reactions to Roger's solo stuff. His voice is amazing, but he is a masterful lyricist.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face!😊😊
The harmonies are usually provided by Freddie, Brian and Roger...who has an amazing high pitch falsetto...and an awesome gravelly vocal to boot!

I just want to say thank you for all your reactions trae
Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️ liked already subscribed 😁
That bass/piano intro is absolutely delicious.
It's like a waltz!
Try with both earbuds, there are sections where is that familiar switching from side to side :) And thank you for choosing this masterpiece 😁
His cat chewed the other earbud.
yeah, you cant listen to Queen with just one ear bud dude... its like smelling a flower upside down, its just wrong lol
@@MR-so1pf You can get new earbuds for 10 bucks. Even crappy earbuds are better than listening to just one channel.

@@JokDon358 Sorry but IMO 1 good earbud is better than 2 crappy $10 buds. Traent will buy a new set when he can afford to, not when you say he should.
Such a gem of a song.

🙋🏾♀️ Holly Odell...Great perspective 👍🏾!
Please React to Teo Torriate, half is in japanese...it is superb..
Love it 😊😊😊PLEASE react to Freddie Mercury... Exercises in free love. Think it may shock you 😂😂😂
It definitely will!
Yeah,... Do it!!! 👍
Check out the live version houston 1977
It's to the tune of a waltz, like for dancing! So yes, definitely classical. I love how you replay the harmonies!
I love it!
Such an underrated song. Every time I hear this song when I'm walking, I almost move in a waltz-like walk xD
Classical piano by Freddie 👍🏻
I loved it!!
this is THE Queen song...it showcases eveything
Thank you!!!!!!!!
I think what I enjoy most is just seeing others react as strongly to their music as I do. I just love it. But there's not a whole lot of people that enjoy its complexity. So thanks for sharing your joy with us.
Brilliant reaction!
Thanks Alot
Freddie wrote this song
😁 can't get enough of Queen. Thanks
My man, you missed a whole dimension of the song with one earbud! Queen specifically mixed for stereo.
You absolutely have to listen to White Queen. You will love the classical piano in the middle of the song. Btw Freddie has a built in metronome
Excellent,again !
You have to listen it with both of Youri earphones
Attention everyone!
The reason TraENT is wearing only 1 earbud is because his cat chewed up the other one.
One of my favorite Queen songs! I also love Teo Torriate from the same album.
I am pretty sure this is ACTUALLY a waltz in its timing
Yeah, 3/4 time doesnt automatically equal waltz. The stress on the first note, like *oom* pa-pa gives it that waltz rhythm.

But he really nails the waltz time with the piano playing at the beginning, and the part in the middle with the guitars harmonizing together. 3 quarter notes per measure, stress on the first. I'd say it earns it's title very well😀
Nice video! I like this channel.
Impromptu - Live in Wembley 1986
Guess you know you need to have two earbuds. This song is very tongue in cheek of a past romantic era and then back to rock.
You should react to "I'm Going Slightly Mad"
This guy loved the song with only one earbud in. Imagine if he had both... I think he might obsess over it like I did
i love all queen songs and have for 7 years im 13 btw
In most parts of most songs all three sing but according to Wiki and other sources Freddy does all the vocals in some songs and I guess in this song all Three sing in parts and it is just Freddy in smaller parts.
If you want to hear Brian's and Roger's voices in isolation listen to Queen, no on but you and then you'll be able to pick them out.
You have to watch the making of song’s and how they over lays
Great King Rat
Oh, no, no no! You can't do Millionaire Waltz with only one earbud! (I mean, you can't do any Queen song with only one, but ESPECIALLY not Millionaire Waltz!).

Cette chanson est totalement de Freddie, il disait " je suis peut-être allé un peu loin"
Again...Freddie DID NOT do all the vocal harmonies in Bohemian Rhapsody brother! He only did the first 30 seconds of harmonies himself in it.
Brian wrote it. Sure Freddie had a hand in it as well.

It's a waltz, dude! Look it up - Johann Strauss and his buddies :)
TraENT, take David's advice - check out Tales from the Vienna Woods and you will hear the same sounds from 100 years earlier.
I will send you new ear buds if you give me an address.
You need to react to YOU AND I from the same album it’s a great song with amazing harmonies!!
Different album, you and I was day at the races, but you're right saying it's a great song👍👍
@@gaztl1000s The Millionaire Waltz ia also from A day at the races...

Yes! You and I is gorgeous! Another fabulous work from John!
I switched off when I saw he was only wearing one earpiece.

listen to im going slightly mad by queen

Ive got to try that. I love watching people waltz!
listen to Dragon Attack
Really great reaction. With Queen you need to keep playing even though it seems like the song is over. Unfortunately, you missed some of it. You have an excellent ear any notice so many nuances that others miss. Bravo to you!
Don't you feel that you're missing the emotional journey of the song by stopping constantly to discuss bits?
I'm mildly annoyed that you listened to this with one earbud.. and why does nobody ever mention the BASS? Philistines!
Can't. Subscribe. Too. Many., Stops.
Quit interrupting the songs, just ruins it
Could never enjoy the song with you stopping and talking every 10 seconds. Buh bye.
