One of my favorite Queen songs this one really gets your blood pumping, it's hard to believe how sick he was when they made this song. Notice he didn't use his classic half microphone stand and moved mostly in place because by then he had lost almost half of his foot. He was in a lot of pain but still gave it everything he had for his fans. He loved us as much as we loved him.
This rocker was written by Brian May - inspired by his 2nd wife Anita Dobson (an English actress who, at the time, was the leading lady on the tv show EastEnders), who said “I want it all and I want it now” about her acting ambitions.
It was my understanding that Anita said "I want it all, and I want it now," when she went to a Queen concert, and was amazed at at the reception that Queen received during the show, seeing how loved and talented the band was. I could be wrong about the origin but that is just what I remember hearing or reading.
This has Always been one of my favorites 🤩 This was made in , Freddie's later years , and it's really amazing how , even with the toll AIDS was taking on his health , Freddie's voice stayed strong and clear all the way to the end 💖
This is one of my favorite queen songs because I love the raspiness that comes out of him in this performance that growl And it really rocks!! Now Queen is a massive massive rabbit hole, this is close to the end of Freddys life need to go back to the beginning and go through the years!!! LOVED IT!!
He was dying and they made this song. I'm sorry but gawd damn. He wasn't going down alone. He made his announcement and was GONE THE NEXT DAY. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER FREDDIE MERCURY IN THE WORLD. We miss you Freddie!!!!!!
I was stationed in Germany when this came out when he was sick and he made his announcement. he was gone the next day. I never cried so much in my life. They are classically-trained musicians. There will never be another Queen.
Freddie Mercury was amazing and so missed. A band of incredible singers and song writers. As a teen in the 70s they were my favorite band and still are. I never got a chance to see them live and hopefully they will tour the US next year. I want to go with my kids and granddaughter to share in the incredible music they created. Adam Lambert who has been their front man for 10 years now has a different vocal tone; he's a tenor and Freddie was a baritone; but does a good job of paying his respect to Freddie. This band is an arena band. You want to see them with a crowd. Always ready to watch Queen. Check out Adam Lambert as well. Brian May and Roger Taylor from Queen call him the Gift from God and the best voice out there. There's the video of him singing her song Believe to Cher at The Kennedy Center Honors and has her in tears. I really like his songs Closer to You (live sessions), Ghost Town, Time for Miracles and Whataya Want From Me to start. He has a great solo career besides working with Queen. Who Wants to Live Forever at the Isle of Wight festival with Queen + Adam Lambert is unforgettable.
Saying someone is a great singer is always subjective. Of course, everyone has their own idea of who is a great singer, or who is the best. However, for me, although Adam has admitted that he is not attempting to replace Freddie, or fill his shoes, listening to or watching Queen with Adam Lambert is just not very enjoyable to me. I admit that Adam is a great singer, but when I hear or watch Queen videos or music, it is just not the same for me with Adam singing lead, because in my mind at least, I associate Queen with only Freddie Mercury as the only true front man for the band. So again, while Adam is a great singer, Queen is never the same to me without Freddie Mercury singing lead vocals. Again, I admit that it is all subjective, and everyone has their own opinions, this is just my opinion.
Totally respect your opinion. I have enjoyed watching people react to Adam for the first time. I think his voice is incredible and I have to admit it surprised me when I first heard him. I really just happened on his video singing to Cher a few months ago and was so impressed I took a deep dive into his music. I didn't know Queen were even touring again. I watched the documentary on Netflix The Show Must Go On and I respect Roger and Brian's choice of deciding to tour again and picking someone that isn't a Freddie imitator. There are tribute bands that do that. I know they said they can't be Queen anymore because Freddie and John aren't with them so that is why they go as Queen+ Adam Lambert. They are both in their 70s and Brian has had some health issues. They said they're going to tour as long as they're having fun. I miss Freddie but I would still want to see Brian and Roger while I still can. That's the great thing about music. I really would like to see Adam on one of his solo shows. I have read often that he sounds great on his videos but he always sounds better live. There are songs with Queen that he sings that are amazing like Who Wants to Live Forever and The Show Must Go On and others that are good but you still hear Freddie singing them in your head. Music is just hopefully about respect. I even have to respect the music my granddaughter likes and put some of her favorites on my playlist when we have parties lol. Not a fan of Slipknot etc but respect.
Queen had taken a break after their 1986 album 'A kind of magic' and tour that year... So, it was 3 years later that Queen reappeared w/ this single and the album 'The Miracle' in 1989... There were persistent rumors that Freddie was afflicted w/ AIDS, but the band and Freddie denied those claims. However, the rumors persisted when Queen did not tour for 'The Miracle'... and only appeared in music videos. We now know that Freddie Mercury was seriously ill and when this video was shot, he could not move like he used to on stage... he wore baggy clothing to hide his physique (he wore flamboyant clothing in the past) Some of the songs he wrote lyrics for on the record were ominous, like he was considering the end of his life. Years later, the members of Queen revealed that Freddie was diagnosed in 1987 w/ AIDS, and would not want to talk about it... Freddie just wanted to work on new music for as long as he could. They completed 2 albums - 'The Miracle' and 'Innuendo' by 1991. It was a long process to write & record cos Freddie could not work for too long in the studio when he was ill. He appeared in the music video for 'These are the days of our lives' by Queen, and he was thin and frail by that point, and did not look well - that was his final appearance. But Freddie kept recording vocals into 1991 until he couldn't anymore... he returned home to England in failing health and died in November 1991, after releasing a statement that he was HIV positive. His final vocal tracks were completed after his death and released in 1995 as Queen's final album 'Made in heaven'.
A freakin' Anthem! Haven't heard this in years but then the years melt away. Thanks Shawn and Mel from an overgrown hippie fan of yours.......and Queen goes without saying. ❤
Queen are second to none!! I want it all was my favourite track going up, I have a new favourite called 'The Show Must Go On' but this track is still in my top 5. Please check out my favourite as mentioned above plus 'It's a Kind of Magic' & 'Breakthru '
According to John Deacon, the song was one of only a few which was already written before the band entered the studio beginning 1988 for what would become The Miracle album. “We were heading into the period where we decided to share the credit for all the songs … “ - Brian May. Fun fact: the song was used in the 2013 movie Despicable Me 2 .. Love the Queen Minions 😂😂 💝
One of my favorite Queen songs ❤️ I love the beard, but the reason for having it is sad. He had gotten marks in his face because of his illness so he covered it up with a beard. But if you don't know he's sick you won't be able to tell, I think he looks great here.
Queen is my favorite band in Freddy is my favorite singer and this is one of their masterpieces I love it so much glad to see you guys appreciate him as much as I do
I'm new to y'all's channel but I've subscribed and am now watching your previous reaction videos. Queen is what got me here. I love your reactions so I'm catching up. Queen's last video, These Are The Days Of Our Lives is a 100% must see! Would love to see your reaction to it. Thank y'all so much for doing all of this. I am now a fan of you both.
Holy crap, that song should be top ten no matter when it was released, and if it dropped today it would be a hit immediately. They were one of the best ever.
literally came out in '89 4 yrs befoe Eye wuz born yet hearin tha song takes me back to '95 when Eye first heard it .. my uncle introduced me to all tha bands Queen Beatles Eagles Zeppelin PF etc
Queen "Dragon Attack" is the funkiest Bass guitar riff EVER you must react to the studio version before everyone else does, trust me it will be your favorite and probably go on your play list. Written by Brian 🎸 May .
What’s crazy is that this was around the time the complications of the disease were starting to kick….knowing the story you’d know Freddie wasn’t at 100 percent around this time but watching the video or hearing it on the radio, you’d never know
You should try some of their early music like Queen - White Queen (Live at the Rainbow, 1974) or Queen Live at the Rainbow (1974) - In the Lap of the Gods. You won't be disappointed in either. Thank you for the Queen reactions!
Freddie was already pretty sick here...notice he is not moving around , although he is animated with his voice and arms...he hardly had one of his feet left and he had sores all over his body...as well he had lost weight and therefore he was covered up and wearing baggy clothes...the beard covered the sores on his face...could you please react to PLAY THE GAME , live at Milton Keynes..so fire....love your enthusiasm
Brian wrote this song based on a catchphrase from his 2nd wife, Anita Dobson, "I want it all and I want it now!" Brian claims that the song is about having ambitions and fighting for one’s own goals; because of this, the song became an anti-apartheid song in South Africa and has also been used as a gay rights protest theme and a rallying anthem for African-American youth.
I know that Freddie was sick at the time he had a short beard to cover up some sores on his face he gained a little weight but his vocals are outstanding Brian May's guitar riffs are Epic
HI GUYS, IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU DO ANOTHER QUEEN & FREDDIE REACTION... YOUR REACTIONS ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES!

That bass! Those drums! That guitar solo! Those vocals! Four geniuses all at their best. Such a tight unit.
Love that guitar solo 🎸

More Queen reactions 😉🎤🎼🎸
A fantastic song for youth. Ambition and hard work. Queen was perfect example of that. Great reaction!
Yes, absolutely! Right up until the end! The dedication, determination, and drive that Freddie had during his last few years has always amazed me!

"Scandal" is an excellent song too ...

Freddie’s speaking voice was a baritone and he sang like a tenor but he has an incredible range capable of 4 octaves.
Could be the best voice ever!
I didn't know that that was debatable. Lol
Close to the end, when roger make that splash effect on his drum, that was beer, . Him used.

It wasn't an "Oh, we like it" reaction, but you really enjoyed it. Great music, great lyrics, great sound, great vocal, great instruments i.e. Queen.
Queen "Dragon Attack" is the funkiest Bass guitar riff EVER you must react to the studio version before everyone else does, trust me it will be your favorite and probably go on your play list. Written by Brian 🎸 May .
i was a one tyme person to see them live in concert in London At Live Aid... 13 July 1985 there was 74.000 in Wembley Stadium...
I had the cassette single of this, I wore out 2 cruising in my 1978 Olds Cutlass!
What’s crazy is that this was around the time the complications of the disease were starting to kick….knowing the story you’d know Freddie wasn’t at 100 percent around this time but watching the video or hearing it on the radio, you’d never know
Great reaction to a classic Queen song you two are the best better than all the rest
