Shout out to Roger Taylor killing it on back up vocals
Yes! Too many people focus solely on Freddie - I mean, understandably - and forget about the equally incredible, if not as flamboyant, contributions of Brian, Roger, and Deacy.
And for crushing the drums at the same time. Have you ever tried that? IT'S FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE! lol
@@OPMario Brian crushed the guitar and hit the vocals too.
Roger supports Freddie’s voice beautifully!
Well Roger was in love with his car 😅🤣😅
Freddie was one of a kind, there will never be another like him,
Said about many people, 100% accurate about showman mercury
And I Feel.... Noone Should Ever Try and Imitate Him!!! He's Unique and should be Remembered as such!! RIP 😢
Amen to that. There definitely will not be other one. ❤️
There will never be another like you
He had four extra incisors that he refused to have removed because he feared it affect his voice.
"He was in his own lane doing his own thing."
What a perfect way to describe Freddie.
#FACTS!
OMG can y’all imagine Freddie Mercury on social media?
@@mztweety1374 😂
@@mztweety1374Brian May is.
"This guy's different". Nailed it. RIP. Still get shivers watching him perform. And the rest of the band is ridiculous
Drummer has a better voice than a lot of todays frontmen
And looks better in a skirt than all
@@boramsey5122 Because he doesn‘t have a vacuum cleaner
@@acidgravy1 it's a moo moo, but leave Henrietta outta this😎
Thomas are there even any frontmen anymore today?
@@boramsey5122 No words have been more true than these
Roughly 40 years ago. No computers, no tricks - all talent - and it showed. One of the best front men of all time.
Some body to love came out in 1976 The Super 70s
They're not even my favourite band but its safe to say he is easily the greatest frontman of all time.
I can't even think of anyone who could compete with Freddie. Maybe Morrison but naah
The greatest frontman of all time.. the most appreciated band in England
@@Nicholas-fw1id Perhaps Brad Delp with range... but not with every genre.
As a kid I never understood why Freddie Mercury's death was mourned so intensely at the time. I kept seeing and hearing people talk about it and didn't "get it." As an adult looking back at some of their performances and listening to more of their music I totally get it. A band that was the total package, Freddie oozing passion and charisma, getting crowds involved in the songs. Just incredible.
dude, ngl, i was at work when i heard the news and i cried like a baby. Freddy helped me through a difficult period in my life and when he passed i genuinely felt like i had lost my older brother.
Freddie was and still is the love of my life. My husband knows and accepts it!!
"He must have been in his own lane". My friend, Freddie drove on his own personal highway. So glad that a new generation is discovering his genius.
underrated comment :D
@@ISo404 agreed this is a very underrated comment
Perfect way to describe it
"This dude is different." Understatement! Freddie Mercury was definitely a unique performer. We lost greatness when we lost him.
Like no one I've ever seen or ever will see you again Freddie Rules
Yep,one of a kind was Freddie
Yeah, Freddie stood out with that short haircut
😂
Freddie was extra 100% of the time, and we loved him for it!
Fun fact every member of Queen wrote a number one selling song, a very talented band indeed.
0% help from auto tune 100% powerful pure voice. RIP no one will ever duplicate you.
R.I.P. Freddie Mercury.
1946-1991.
45 years old, gave us 30 years of his content and performances.
Chris, you're off by almost a decade (Queen formed in 1970 and he died in 91), but I get it...his gift is still giving, a full 30 years (good grief...I can't believe it's been that long) after his death. Freddie was an enigma, and the world became less bright when he left us.
Wow! It’s been that long already.
@@jamosensei Freddie was many things, but not an enigma.
He was pretty open about things really.
@@jamosensei he was in other groups before he was in Queen. I think that's what Chris was talking about.
probably one of the most talented singers, ever. huge vocal range.
And arguably the greatest frontman to ever live.
I'd love to hear a song composed between Bobby Hatfield and Freddy Mercury
Only second to robert plant imo as the greatest frontman and singer
@@khizarfarooq6778 Plant was amazing, I have Led Zeppelin tattoos but Plant couldn't hold a candle to Freddie when it came to stage presence
@@YTDumpsterBaby Plant himself gave it up for Freddie's singing ability, saying that most of the singers at the concert in honor of Freddie had most singers there having to change the key of the songs because they couldn't pull off "a Freddie!"
Pure raw talent by 4 dudes performing LIVE without any help or digital trickery. I only wish I had seen them in concert. We are so lucky this was captured on film for future generations to enjoy. And Rogers drumming is so mesmerizing and can sing.
Writes his own songs. Sings with a voice of a damn angel... RIP Freddie Mercury.
This man even on his death bed was recording vocal tracks for their music. I've always thought if he was still alive he'd have changed music even today in 2021. Love Queen!
And his voice was just slightly weaker.
Fuck Aids!
One of my favorite songs is their last one "The Show Must Go On." Brian was concerned about Freddie's health and whether or not he could hit the notes. Freddie's response and I quote (according to Brian): "When May presented the final demo to Mercury, he had doubts that Mercury would be physically capable of singing the song's highly demanding vocal line, due to the extent of his illness at the time. To May's surprise, when the time came to record the vocals, Mercury consumed a measure of vodka and said "I'll fucking do it, darling!" then proceeded to perform the vocal line"
Even the best bands simply run dry over time on their own.
That being said he might have done a Travelling Wilburys style thing with others had he lived, just as poor Roy Orbison did shortly before his death when he made an insane burst in output before his health caught up to him.
@@mnomadvfx actually I don't think queen would have run dry, they where always playing and experimenting with different stuff. Queens biggest downfall was after Freddie died they just kinda fell back on the backlog and tried to replace Freddie while singing the same stuff. While you can't have Queen without Freddie I think they would've been able to do great things without him if the had just retired Queen and started a new band with a new singer doing new stuff with maybe just breaking out a old queen song on tour here and there but never shouldve been the draw after he died
That is Freddie Mercury - the greatest showman on earth!! Legend....
I am so glad Lex is there to help guide Brad into these songs...love their reactions, but poor Brad always looks like he's confused by all of the rock songs they react to. Big props to him for letting them sink in. These are songs written by musical geniuses!
But this time Brad nailed it: "this guy is diferent" and "he is on his own lane doing his own thing".
If y'all haven't seen it, you should watch the full Live Aid set of theirs. It's damn near life changing. 22 min of jaw-dropping bliss and when you see the whole crowd get into it so much... Man.
If you are trying to figure out what genre Queen falls into the genre is Queen. There has never been another band like them. And Freddy Mercury is widely regarded as being one of if not the best rock vocalist of all time.
So was Led Zeppelin Blues and Rock,, And Robert Plant was just as good , Both Huge in the 70s
Yeah Queen doesn't really fit into any one genre, they really did a bit of everything (at the time, of course) all with some added flair and style. And Freddie is still possibly the best singer I've ever heard.
@@theodoreritola9758 Zeppelin is my favorite Rock band borderline favorite Band ever. As much as Plant was a boss I think Freddie is King..stage presence was bar none..IMO
@@andreajackson5293 O OK
Freddy...PAIN
Brad & Lex Queen is one of the biggest rock bands EVER! Do a live stream and react to Live Aide Queen set! Unbelievable set!
Unreal performance
We need it
Please listen to their live aid performance.
Plus knowing what he told the band before live aid, it’s very emotional!
Freddie’s ability to strut on stage and vocally sound great at the same time! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Freddie was the best frontman ever! No two Queen songs were the same...they were all over the place and always brilliant....great reaction!
No auto tune, no ear wigs - sheer talent back then. You’ll often notice the band members looking at each other to keep together.
The sign of a great band, looking at each other.
Yes... this is REAL music!
I'm failry sure they used montiors (ear wigs). That has been around for ages and it's very hard to do especially live without.
@@Thisandthat8908 I don’t think so, unless it was right before they quit performing live (1986). Don’t see any of them using them at Live Aid or before. I’ll have to watch some videos from Wembley to be sure.
@@lynnhoffman247 yeah on their last tour in 1986 they definetly had monitors but that was also the only show in which freddie had a cableless microphone so it's not unlikely that they didn't have monitors before that as well
"He's way better than the movie!"
Honestly, they're ALL way better than the movie! Roger Taylor's a helluva drummer with a singing voice good enough to front in most bands; Brian May consistently wins in Best Rock Guitarist polls of both fans and musicians...AND he's an astrophysicist; and John Deacon plays the hell outta the bass, has written some of the most iconic bass lines in rock, and holds a First Class Honours Degree in Electronics, having built the Deacy Amp that Brian May used extensively to help create his unique, layered sounds. Freddie, himself, held a diploma in Graphic Art & Design from Ealing Art College and, in fact, created Queen's logo.
@Obi one kenobie Excuse you? I agreed that Freddie's better than Rami's portrayal of him in the movie (that's a no-brainer) and then expanded on that to note that they're ALL better than in the movie.
As for the movie itself, it was.......okay.
🍿🍿🍿
The drummer Roger Taylor is also a falsetto..
@Obi one kenobie learn what these are dude “ “ “ “
You do know it was Queen playing in the movie ya sausage and the cast wasn’t really playing, it was what they call playback.!
"Ok, this dude is different."
Yes, in so many ways. And the most significant way was that he was a level above everyone else.
Queen was HUGE, one of the landmark bands of the 70s up there with Elton John and Led Zeppelin. So yeah, whatever kind of rock they were, Queen were damn successful for a reason. GLad to know this recording is go high quality.
The whole band are pure talent, the vocal harmonies in Queen add a lot to Queens music.
The man was a genius. Incredible to believe he passed away 30 years ago this November... I remember hearing the news, like it was yesterday.
At the end after his sip of beer and during his vocal display, you can see a tear flow from his left eye down his cheek! He always put such emotion in his performances!
He’s not drinking beer, he’s drinking lemon and honey.
They could do it all- ballads, heavy rock, operatic pieces, soul - their music from album to album was so diverse. They had one of the greatest frontmen of all time in Freddie, an outstanding guitarist in May - they had their audiences in the palm of their hands at every show. I can't think of another band that even comes close to how great they were.
Freddie was a showman . Amazing voice , no auto tune no headphones just talent
Freddy loved Aretha Franklin, that's why this has a gospol feel, somewhere Superman's wearing a Freddy tank top, keep up reactions 🏴👍
Kal-El in a Freddy Tank Top I don't doubt it in the slightest.
Freddie ffs!
@@LadStones Ima spell it "Freddy" forever just for you ;)
***Freddie 😉😊
@@LadStones Farrokh FFS! LOL!
A band where every member is considered a legend in their field Brian may built his own guitar by hand with his father out of an old school desk when he was young which is why no other guitar even comes close to its range this makes it a genuine historical artifact not just an instrument.
Queen is one of those bands that sound great in studio, as well as live. Although they could not recreate many of their sophisticated harmonies live, they found a way to make the songs come alive on stage. This song is a prime example. They were truly a kind of magic.
Queen Live Aid 1985 full 20 minute set. It’s thee greatest 20 minutes in music history.
Freddie was the absolutely unmatched front man. Incredible entertainer. His phenomenal voice is of course a given.
Freddie was more than a character. He was exuberance, and joy, and love, artistry and constantly so hard to contain. Very much loved. Do yourselves a favour and listen to a night at the opera. RIP Freddie. Always loved and missed.
Four of the most talented people ever to get together and form a band.. Mercury, Taylor , May and Deacon....incredible musicians who simply made music that was , as per this glorious song... absolutely sublime .
Queen is, I think, Anthem Rock. Pretty much everything they did, is enticing and draws everyone in to participate. Everyone got to leave their shows and had a feeling of ownership. Every fan got to be or play a part in their songs.
Best analogy I've ever read and you are so right, cheers from a die hard Queenie.
@@joannedarley1893 settled then, from here on out. Queen will be known as Anthem Rock
@@chrisrichardson5641 Agreed, Anthem Rock it is.
Perfectly put
Yeah Arena Rock for sure
I'm so happy that this was recorded that night.
It seems like the band was really feeling it, especially Freddie.
The greatest Rock band ever, four extremely talented performers who as a whole made each other even better and you can't say that about the other bands.
@todallard8791 not as good as Pink Floyd
Imagine having to turn your neck to sing the entire song and killing it every time
Lex… you’re gonna fall in love… keep doing Queen. Freddie is the GOAT.
I'm glad Brad is enjoying this. I think jumping straight into metal has been too much for him, easing him into the rock scene with more Classic Rock will help him be able to appreciate the music without being overwhelmed by the speed and volume.
I would LOVE to see you guys react to the entire 'Queen: Live at Wembley' concert or their 'Live Aid' performance. Seeing a live song is cool, but to see the whole show is something else, the interactions between the band and the audience as well as the between songs shenanigans... Even if you were to break the reactions into multiple parts as long as y'all watch the show all at once.
Agree. I think they started off at the extreme end and misunderstood what rock was until they started to dip into the roots here with Classic Rock. It's simple, melodic, and the lyrics are clear. Classic Rock is where Brad and Lex meet.
Absolutely! They should have started out in the mid '60's and worked their way through the '80's to get the full effect and evolution of rock & roll.
The gentleman on lead guitar is an astrophysicist who worked with NASA. He and his father built the guitar that he is playing
It outs a big smile on my face to see a younger generation that likes the music I grew up on. I tell my girls,who are 28 and 17, back then we had actual artists. Nowadays they are mostly performers.
Freddie did have longer hair in the 70s, later he cut it and grew a mustache, then he shaved that off and honestly Freddie’s wardrobe is all over the place but we love all of it
You'll never see a band like Queen again. be it live or studio, it's always passionate, original, and catchy as hell.
He's also one of the best singer, he can do anything with his voice.
Yep. Queen is truly one of the greatest bands of all time.
I think Freddie is not looking for someone to love but is looking to be found as somebody to love. Brilliant song.
Freddie was phenomenal! He was in a league of his own, for sure! I had the pleasure of seeing him live twice and both times it was quite a show!
I wish I had gotten to see them live!! I was 11 and living in Germany when he passed. My kid can sing bohemian rhapsody without the song playing lol. Parenting win!!
"This dude" is Freddie Mercury. He's one of the all time legends of Rock. He inspired Michael Jackson in some ways as well. Check it out.
Freddie, Always, owned the stage…always. That’s why he’s Freddie.❤️
Freddie was a superlative frontman, in an amazing band. I played as the guitarist in a Queen tribute band called Mercury in Perth, Western Australia and I absolutely loved playing this song in particular. Such an incredible arrangement and dynamics that any musician would die to play this kind f music.. May Queen music keep gathering new fans..
I think this song (and especially this performance) is the best way to introduce people to Queen. Even if you don´t like this kind of music, everyone has to appreciate the musicianship and Freddies qualities as one of the best frontmen of all time :)
Freddie is amazing, but what I can't get over is Roger Taylor is drumming AND singing...
This song fits him perfect. He could never have the relationship he wanted, deserved and needed.🤟🏻
He actually lived with his partner, Jim Hutton until his death (I think for 7 years). RIP to an icon!
You should do the whole live aid, the energy is insane.
*Radio GAGA
I was there…you have no idea…
This was a great reaction! Freddy was so talented with playing many musical instruments, but the best was his voice!
Nope, His best was the audience 😎
You should watch this entire concert. Rock Montreal! You’ll see many forms of their music! And yes sweet girl- Freddie was very theatrical!💛💛
One of the most powerful and epic rock performances of all time.
Keep em coming love queen do another one bites the dust.
Maybe the best voice in Rock ever. Ever.
It filled stadiums ... and hearts.
My favorite thing I've heard all day
Brad: oh my goodness...find this man somebody to love...
Freddie was the ultimate entertainer. He will never be replaced. RIP.. In the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek, who portrayed Freddie, won Best Actor Oscar.
One the greatest performers ever him and Michael Jackson are neck and neck I'm a metal head but I'm not going to deny greatness when I see it should do we will rock you by queen and so many others can't even count them all so happy you guys are doing queen
Queen makes me happy or really feel what they are feeling! You need to watch when Freddy interacts with the crowd. They repeat what Freddy says, it’s amazing!
Queen has played to over a million people MULTIPLE TIMES! Legendary
Bass player looks like he is from a pop/funk band. The guitarist is from a rock band. The singer is operatic. Thats how they produced such incredibly diverse music
thanks, Brad & Lex - Freddie took us to church, here - he said he was inspired by Aretha Franklin when he wrote this, and also that this was one of his favorites -- I hope you notice the way that the entire band gets into this... I appreciate your reaction, and look forward to more...
Great reaction! Queen did every genre of music. This is more of a gospel type of songs. For a more harder rocking song check out I Want It All from Queen. You guys properly know Another One Bites The Dust, there is a great live version at Wembley 1986.
Watching Freddie Mercury perform live is guaranteed to make anyone smile!
You never knew what u were gonna get with Freddie which made him the legend he is still today. Nobody has come close to what he did as a performer. Nothing was ever planned or rehearsed he just did his thing. Everyone in the band knew and played their part to perfection. There has never been a band as talented and probably won't ever be. Thanx for the music and R I P Freddie!
If you guys don't know Queen, it's another great rabbit hole to jump in. I love their music, and yes they are in their own lane.
Everybody knows queen :O
“One Vision - LIVE from Wembley” is another great performance that shows the power and energy of Queen. It was their opening number for this tour and is said to be loosely based on MLK’s “I Have A Dream” speech”.
It's the whole band not just Freddie, but he was and still is the best of all time !
“In his own lane doing his own thing…” well said Brad.
When are you going to react to Queen at Live Aid, 20 minutes that will blow your mind and voted the best live performance ever. It would be perfect for you to do it on one of your live streams, you will not regret it i promise you that.
Freddie was a passionate man always full of energy and emotions tthat he could convey to the audience like no one else. His powerful voice, singing and temperament filled the largest stadiums in the world.
If you are interested in their rocky vibe you have to listen to I Want It All or the early Queen songs.
"Opera Rock" is pretty close. One of their earlier albums was titled, "A night at the Opera". And there really has never been any band similar to Queen, or any front-man similar to Freddie.
RIP.
I love how Freddy blows your socks off and then casually says "Ok let's do it!"
Incredible.
If I could bring back 1 musician in history to see live one time it would be him.
Queen - Radio GaGa
Queen - full live aid show
O.M.G. That would mean the world would be a better place. How lovely that could be. Am so there. Bless you. Xxxxx
Everyone in this band is SO talented. It's unfair to all the other bands in the world.
You're reacting to all time greats. LEGENDS in music. The entire band were genius. Freddie was one of the greatest on stage performers and one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time.
This was my late mother's favorite song by this band. Queen is one of my favorite bands and has been for almost 20 years. I can tell you, in their 20 years as a band there is literally something for everyone. My parents grew up with two different musical interests (generation gap) but this band they agreed on. And I grew up with it too. They were constantly evolving in their sound and that was the point. Their last few albums have a different sound but are just as great. Their last release was "The Show Must Go On" and was recorded not long before Freddie died. His health was in decline and the song was a way for the band to process the inevitable.
Greatest showman slash frontman ever hands down know one will ever ever compete!!
Wow! Never saw this performance before, NOW THAT'S F-ING MUSIC!!
Freddie OWNED any stage he stood on. ❤️
He's got six beers lined up on his piano for the show. It's like that's the fuel that keeps him going and he doesn't even get drunk. Because he's already riding some kind of spiritual energy that he taps into straight out of the ether.
Love the reactions...poor Brad is lost...he is trying but has no clue....she understands it all
I think Brad's coming along nicely. He got Freddie, he picked up all of the right things, he's just trying to digest and make sense of what he's seeing and hearing and Queen can be a bit overwhelming in that there's always something cool happening. Somewhat like a 360 degree fireworks finale for the entirely of the song, you don't know where to look first.
Love seeing people smile at Freddie for the first time
Brother, Freddie WAS in his own lane, doing his own thing! I am very happy you two appreciate Queen. I also wanted to say what a lovely couple you are and that I enjoy watching your reaction videos. And, I say this with absolute respect, but Brad, you have a GORGEOUS woman (Lex) next to you! Not just in looks, but what a lovely human being! Anyway, rock on! 😊
Fun fact about the guitarist Brian May: Before going on their first U.S. tour ca. 1974, he had just graduated from Imperial College in London as an strophysicist and was about to get his PhD. He decided to get on that epic rock train instead ... just to finish his thesis in 2007 and becoming Dr Brian May.
It’s crazy how he makes it look easy. He’s a musical angel
Queen keeps you guessing, supplying surprises with songs that have very distinct vibes...but you will find there IS a Queen sound. The band hits their 50th anniversary this year - Check out their early 70s live concerts - Stone Cold Crazy at the Rainbow is still fresh AND entirely different. They were fearless in their pursuit and yes, with a theatrical flair.
They've done ballads, blues, disco, pop, rock, opera, anthems and in the 70s even released what is widely considered to be the first ever thrash metal single. They do it all.
Bohemian Rock was opera rock. Somebody to Love was gospel rock as Freddie wrote it for Aretha Franklin who sang it at his funeral. Check out love of my life live in RIO, also live-You take my breath away - Hyde Park 1976.
