Hey guys I’m glad I was able to get around to this gem! Thanks for suggesting it! VOTE IN THE POLL!!! What should I put in next week’s Poll?! Comment your suggestions and I’ll take the top 4 most liked comments for the poll options next week! White Queen Live at Hammersmith is lined up for next Wednesday! Voted in by you guys! Cheers! 😁🔥
Love this man! It was soooooo cool to blast this as a teenager while painting my models from games work shop - I even had the Queen 2 T-shirt and Brian's hair at the time (dyed black). I'm losing track of what you've done so I want you to react to something very different next - Is This The World We Created? By Queen. Or WHITE QUEEN ! the album version!!!! (already) :) a 2 parter - album & the live
Can you react to tenement funster/flick of the wrist/lily of the valley? It is a medley with roger on vocals for the first song. The second song is a precursor to Death on Two legs, and it's only seven minutes in total. Another good song is No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young). It is the last Queen song with bassist John Deacon, after the death of Freddie. The song is about Freddie with Brian and Roger sharing the vocals. I think it is some of Brian's best vocals and it is definitely a reaction worth.
This album is intended to be listened to as a whole. The songs the into one another and the transitions from one to another are part of the flow. After you've heard all of tge songs for your reaction videos, do something for yourself and listen to the album in its entirety.
Michelle Chase I cannot second this strongly enough. Listen to Queen, Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack as albums. WITH HEADPHONES!!!! You’re missing half the magic in their early work if you don’t wear headphones. It’s criminally negligent, Andy and Alex😠.
"We need to get more experimental", this is the album where it all started. Amazing production and throwing everything into the mix. Queen II is a masterpiece of what a band can actually pull off.
Yes, the Bohemian Rhapsody video was a throwback to the iconic Queen II sleeve. It made me laugh to hear you sum this up as Queen ‘showcasing’ that they were a heavy rock band, ‘too’. When this was recorded, that’s all they were. Sheer Heart Attack was a big departure from their early style, Queen and Queen II. Killer Queen was a bit of a shock - it was so poppy. Treat yourselves to sitting down and hearing these early allbums - especially the first three - the way they were heard at the time and meant to be heard - as full albums, not disembodied tracks. Each album is a journey. The songs flow into each other and reference backwards and forwards to each other. Sheer Heart Attack was very different because Brian was away for most of the recording, very, very ill. So Freddie was free to indulge his eclecticism.
Queen used to put " No Synthesizers " on the credits on all their albums up until the Works album , I believe , when they relented and started to use them.
I'm not an expert on Queen but I'm sure they started to use synthesizers even before that. There's nothing wrong with synthesizers. They are just another instrument. You can make some very good sounds with them... or very bad sounds depending on the player or the sound designer. :-) I'm really not sure about this but I'm almost willing to bet that someone thought to add the "no synthesizers" because of Brian May's unusual ability to create some very unique timbres with his self-made guitar. He also created such complex multiple guitar harmony sections that some people could have been mistaken some of them as added synthesizer sounds. There are many examples and one of the earliest is on this same Queen II album in the song "White Queen (As It Began)" after the guitar solo. There's a guitar harmony part that sounds like a horn section. Only Brian May did such things and sounded like that! It's actually very similar in style and in timbre to what a keyboard player would typically play on a synthesizer although polyphonic synths were almost non-existent in 1974.
Ogre battle is a song which tells a story. It's extremely important to listen to the lyrics to understand it. It may seem weird but it has a much deeper meaning.
Funny you mention D&D -- back in the late '70s and early '80s, this was one of the albums we'd play in the background as we were playing D&D, along with Night At The Opera, Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick, Yes's Fragile and Close To The Edge, Blue Oyster Cult's Agents of Fortune, and anything by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. Oh, and the Heavy Metal soundtrack.
My brother bought the wrong Queen album. He wanted News of the World. I put Ogre Battle on my portable record player. I thought my needle was broke -- the music was bombastic and crazed and I love it. My first Queen song.
💗💗Ogre Battle Live version at the Rainbow ‘74 is highly recommended, you guys! Take the time to see it!!😉 Queen II is my favorite album of theirs❤️ Thanks for the reaction!! Stone Cold Crazy next please!!!🙏🏼
Those screams are done by Roger btw. If you want to hear him shine with his high vocals and screams, you need to listen to In The Lap of the Gods (the 'regular' version, not revisited). You will be blown away. Great reaction as always!
SonicVolcano In the Lap of the Gods!!! My absolute favorite... 🎶🎵 “I live my life for you. Think of my thoughts with you and only you... Anything you ask, I do for you....🎶” Playing on repeat ❤️ Can’t get tired of Roger’s falsetto screams💕 love their Rainbow ‘74 version😊
So first off, the band that was into Lord of the Rings was Zeppelin, and Freddie said they were a bit jealous of Zeppelin back then. (Roger may disagree.) But the first three albums have a long thread of songs set in a fairytale land Freddie invented called Rhye, and this is among them. (One of the early ones, My Fairy King, gave Freddie his name.) Queen II was two albums before B.R. but they did intentionally use the cover as inspiration for the video.
So even though you see the image that people recognize with Bohemian Rhapsody which was on their 4th album, this is one of Queen's early works on their second album. Freddie actually wrote this around 1971, a couple of years before their debut album. Their first few albums were more heavy rock, and I think there are other songs you should listen to from them to get an idea. Seven Seas of Rhye and Son and Daughter (preferably Live at the Rainbow).
This is the album that is referenced in the Bohemian rhapsody movie in which they wore out the oxide on the recording tape in the studio by dubbing a million times....this song represents a fantasy world created by Freddie, an ogre battle in fact. The screaming part in the middle (what you interpreted as Jazzy) was in fact the Ogre Battle itself . It was crafted like a fine artist would create an impressionistic painting .Truly demonstrates the bands remarkable ability and classical training , in that they wrote the song in movements much like a classical composer did
"Ogre Battle" is a great example of what an excellent rhythm player Brian May has always been. He gets more attention for his beautiful tone in his solos, but there are an awful lot of his rhythm parts that are super good.
Thank you for doing these reactions. I've been watching them for quite some time and I really like them. Queen II is probably my favourite Queen album. The reversed part at the intro was taken from the song's ending. The song plays that ending backwards until 1:54 in this video.
Listen-you weren’t that far off. March of the Black Queen is the anchor song on Side Black of Queen II. Ogre Battle is the first song on that side. I’ve loved that entire side since 1976, and I still know all the words, and let me tell you-that’s a miracle, given my age! Some things apparently never leave the brain. If you haven’t listened to Side Black (Side 2) of Queen II the album, do yourselves a favor.
I bought it in '74. I agree, initially the Black side was my favourite.... but now I can't pick White or Black. One of my all time top 10 albums... ever. Please put me on a desert island ;-)
You asked the same question many new fans do, wondering why the cover of Queen II looks so much like the "Bohemian Rhapsody" video. The explanation is pretty straightforward. The album came out the year before they recorded that song, so when they were putting ideas for the video together, they wanted to recreate that shadowy image of band. The album cover came first, taken by the famous music photographer Mick Rock, itself inspired by a photo of Marlene Dietrich. Then they recreated it for the "Rhapsody" video.
Also wanted to add, if this hasn't mentioned before, that Freddie created his own fantasy world called Rhye, mentioned in the Seven Seas of Rhye, and built upon its story with other songs from (at least) the first two albums, possibly the third as well (Lap of the Gods Revisited seems to be its conclusion).
The intro is the end of the song backwards. The swooshes is the slow fade up of of the gong backwards. The video for Bohemian Rhapsody, they decided to have the queen ii album cover come to life. This album and their first album was recorded on 16 tracks. There was a lot of bouncing and sub mixes. This like all of queen’ albums do not sound dated. Keep rockin
One of my favorites by Queen. Need to react to Stone Cold Crazy off the Sheer Heart Attack album and the live version at the Rainbow in 1974. You could do both in the same reaction video. It is a short song by Queen standards.
I love how most of Freddie's songs' titles in the first albums were like taken from fairytales, hehe. You make fantastic reviews, guys! Thank you so much!!
Give No one but you a listen it was written after Freddie Mercury's death it's more or less a Tribute song to him it is also a Tearjerker and would make even the coldest person Cry
The middle section where your guy on the right had criticized as being too, " free form" with all the noises and stuff....was representing the frantic battle with screams and chaos...of the ogres. I think your friend didn't get that. Note Taylor's insane longgggggg screams and etc., etc., etc...
Ogre Battle is a gem and a strange one but a really fantastic start a slow build up then it bashes your head in a true Queen classic Andy and Alex. I'm sitting in a hotel room with my wife in York Yorkshire UK for a couple of days. Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.
Some background info :-) the Queen II album is their second album from 1974. The A Night at the Opera album is the one with Bohemian Rhapsody. That's their 4th album from 1975, just one year later. (Back then Queen were "young and hungry", putting out an album every few months while being constantly on tour.) Ogre Battle - written by Freddy on guitar - is the Intro song of the second side of the vinyl: the "Black Side" completely written by Freddie. Most of the songs on this album fade into the next song: Ogre Battle morphs into The Fairy Fellers Master Stroke which morphs into Nevermore. You could see those as one song in three parts (much like the Bohemian Rhapsody).
Fantastic reaction! Queen II is there second album it has songs like White Queen, March of the Black Queen and Seven Seas of Rhye. A night at the opera is there fourth album featuring Bohemian Rhapsody (and many other fantastic tracks). Because of the bands liking of the image of the four faces on Queen II album cover they used it again for the Bohemian Rhapsody video. Keep up the good work looking forward to more David Bowie
I have never heard this song, pretty cool choice guys. I am really hoping you are going to listen to Tie your Mother down , Hammer to fall, and etc. Sending a smile from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 😊❤️👑👑👑👑
This is great, your initial reaction is just like my nephew the first time I played him Ogre Battle. (He was not expecting this from his 53 year old auntie!)
The intro of this song, is the outro, backwards. They did the mix, did a second pass of the outro and let the gong tail fade to infinity. Then, they flipped the tape around and spliced it backwards onto the front of the mix. Later, they added the flanging. You'll notice that the figure Brian May is playing on the A chord with the G note and E chord, is the same backwards as forward.
Muscle! Exactly! Plus a wild ride! Love it when you two do Queen. Queen II didn't chart as an album until AFTER A Night at the Opera. One of my very favorite Queen songs. This Queen at their powerful best. Along with Innuendo, my favorite album too. Some nice weird stuff on this. Track listing White side No. Title Writer(s) Lead vocals Length 1. "Procession" Brian May 1:12 2. "Father to Son" May 6:14 3. "White Queen (As It Began)" May 4:34 4. "Some Day One Day" May Brian May 4:23 5. "The Loser in the End" Roger Taylor Roger Taylor 4:02 Black side No. Title Writer(s) Lead vocals Length 1. "Ogre Battle" Freddie Mercury 4:10 2. "The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke" Mercury 2:40 3. "Nevermore" Mercury 1:15 4. "The March of the Black Queen" Mercury Mercury with Taylor 6:33 5. "Funny How Love Is" Mercury 2:50 6. "Seven Seas of Rhye" Mercury
You have to understand the song to get what is going on, the sounds are where the ogres are in mid battle, fighting screaming ect, it's there for a reason, Freddie was a perfectionist so would have only put it there because if had to be
But the middle bit is where they're all having their big ogre fight! 😂 I love how it's all grr ogres theyre really big and theyre having a big fight aaarrgghh, and now they're all going home for their dinner the end 🤣🤣🤣 This is a good one live for Brian's guitar!
Probably because they didn't use headphones, they missed the battle and just heard noise. With Queen you need a good loud stereo with speaker separation or headphones.
Hahah I haven't even watched the entire video yet, but I have always thought that the album Queen II sounded like a whole D&D campaign! I hope someday you take the time out to listen to it in its entirety (and with headphones 😉). Anyway...on to actually watching the video 😁
FYI - the backwards bits at the beginning of the song is in fact the ending of the tune. The "spaceship" sounds is the gong at the end of the song, backwards and slowly faded up.
kloteyoshi1 omg really.Thats hat they are known for😂I recommend listening to Liar or good old fashion lover boy or crazy little thing called love or another one bites the dust or fat bottomed girls or now I’m here.I Think you have heard some of these songs but if you listen to all of them they are all different styles of music.And they do different music but most of the time they always do good
Dear friend, you need to listen to Queen’s first two albums. Do yourself a favour - Make space and time and listen to each one all the way through - the way they were made to be heard. Their early work was famously experimental.
Queen II is the bands best album IMO. March of the Black Queen and White Queen (As it began) are certainly two of Queen's finest songs. This band are in a league of their own, and Freddie's talents are off the chart.
Ogre Battle! Love this song. Many credit Stone Cold Crazy and one of the pioneers of speed/thrash metal. I always say one has to go 1 album before and listen to Ogre Battle. Ok... Now that I have hyped myself up I look forward to watching your reaction.
I love the way you constantly move to the music. I can never keep still listening to my favourite music. It's weird, but it's as if I become "as one" with it in a bizarre kind of way. I'm a genuine music fanatic and Queen will always be one of my number one bands.😀 I love classical music and much of Queen's early stuff had a definite Baroque and Classical vibe, i.e. "Love Of My Life" and "Procession."
I love your reactions, and I can't wait for Wednesdays! But, I wish you would listen to the song from the record and then compare and contrast it to a Live version. Especially when listening to Queen's earlier stuff. Freddie firmly believed live performances should be different, theatrical, and fun. Otherwise, he said, they might as well put cardboard cutouts of themselves on stage and just play the record. Thanks!
@Lolli Nelson Hmmmm, I’ll get to the live versions I promise , I just like to hear the studio ones first, and keeping them separate ensures I can have continuous Queen content for you guys! 😁
It's Late is definitely one of my Queen faves. Very often underrated. Spread Your Wings is another from the same album that you could say the same thing about.
Yeah early queen was more rockin but gave us strong hints as to where they were heading to. They of course became more layered and textured as time went on culminating in Bohemian Rhapsody IMO. Early queen is a treasure
First album was a rocker and Queen II was progressive rock. Sheer Heart Attack was when they started to be more accessible to the masses. Queen II has always been my favorite, and I always listen to the entire album, in order.
For the bohemian rhapsody music video, they purposefully recreated the image from Queen II...it feels weird to not hear Fairy feller's master stroke after this lol.
@@andyandalex A lot of the early albums roll into the next track. On some the next one starts playing before the other finishes and it's only when you know the songs well, that you can hear the join.
Your faces! 😂 this is considered by many to be the first ever thrash metal song. Before it was invented. Can hear shades of March of the Black Queen in it.. Andy, Night at the Opera am shocked 😂 great reaction again. And now we know Alex is not freeform jazz fan, nor am I! Not many kinds of music I don't like though thankfully. Enjoyed this, keep em rollin on in 😎😎🤘🤘x
yess Wednesday is back🙌🏻 I like this song because it’s just so weird and unique.. you know what I mean?😂🤷🏼♀️ but I also think the middle section was a little too long tho☺️. Anyways, their older songs always seem to tell a story like in a play or a fairytale 🤔 and lots of their songs just got such a strong message and deep meaning! I love that! And also the fact that they never revealed the true meaning behind lots of their records and instead just let it open for personal interpretation makes it so so interesting listening to their music 👍🏻 I‘m so happy you two enjoy them too☺️ and keep on reacting to their music😊 🎵 see ya boys !!
Great reaction video guys. Led Zeppelin referenced Lord of the Rings in their songs a lot. It's my understanding that Freddie created his own fantastical world and that's where Ogre Battle and many of the hardest sounding songs from their first few albums came from. After they hit it big, and more was demanded of their time, it was more difficult for Freddie to expand that world. (I could be completely wrong) The lyrics are important on all of Queen's albums. Even the tongue-in-cheek songs hold a bit of truth - you just have to dig to find it. As a writer and one-time singer, lyrics are important to me. I started making a list of bands you two need to listen to but it got so out of hand that I gave up. LOL
@phartley58 Thank you. I usually keep my Queen info to comments on here, maybe a few other channels. Queen fans can be frightening if you get something wrong or have a different opinion than they do. My favorite part of writing is research and sometimes I get lost in it. I even research for writing poetry. Song lyrics fascinate me because, like poems, they can be interpreted different ways.
@phartley58 That's a tough one. Off the top of my head, 'Hammer to Fall'. It's about accepting death. It comes to us all. Because I grew up in the Cold War era, I found it comforting. Instead of being afraid of impending doom, just accept that you'll die whether it's from nuclear war or natural causes as you sleep. The upbeat music disguises the seriousness. There are many others I like for all kinds of reasons. What's your favorite Queen song?
Missy Frye That is a PERFECT exposition of the meaning of Hammer to Fall, which it took me whole paragraphs to write. You, ma’am are indeed a poet. It takes a poet to pack great meaning into few words. You weren’t asking me, and it’s impossible to pick a favourite, but I keep coming back to It’s Late. Seven Seas of Rhye is also famously another track about Freddie’s fantasy world, as is March of the Black Queen. Fair Feller’s Master Stroke is about someone else’s fantasy world - the artist who painted the picture that inspired Freddie’s song/
I love early Queen. It's so off the wall, but way good! You guys are lightening up a very slow, evening for me, stuck in airport with 2 delayed flights... ugh...
Choosing a Queen song based on the title is like opening a box of See's Chocolates. The quality is always there, but you never know what you're gonna get! This isn't one of my favorites, but I always enjoy their vocals and musicianship. So clear and like you said, each player's contribution us there. Ah, America, we're still not quite sure what to make of Queen. The movie Bohemian Rhapsody did way better overseas than here. Keep the Queen love alive!
A bit of a palindrome! Gong at beginning, gong at the end. (Did you notice the gong in Freddie's family's house in the movie?) Love watching you watch Queen! Always better live! 'White Queen', good, but some day you have to do 'The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke'.
No, Queen II was their second album. Night at the Opera (with Bohemian Rhapsody) was their fourth album. Ogre Battle was on Queen II (with March of the Black Queen and a bunch of other great music). I love when I open a reaction and I see which song you're doing and go, "Oh, you are NOT ready for this." This is definitely one of those songs. (Watching people lose their shit to Stone Cold Crazy is also fun.) That said I hadn't listened to the studio album for ages - I have the Live at the Rainbow version on my playlist - so even I was thrown when Roger started screaming his head off in the middle.
Just a FUN song! I love weird deep tracks in general. Ogre Battle is on my goofy playlist. All time favorite weird track was Floyd- "Several Species of Small Fury Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" I still crack up to the long ass title.
Queen II was the first LP I ever owned. My Mom gave me a stereo for my 16th birthday and my best friend gave me his copy of the album. Later that same day, he gave me his copy of 2112 by RUSH. Fucking pretty great day, that September of '80.
You guys are funny. This album must be played in it's entirety because it's a giant story book and the songs run into each which gives a incredible ebb and flow. Just like Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" this album should be heard thru quality headphones with eyes closed.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is on the fourth album. The first two albums the band is definitely feeling their way through the metal/prog rock landscape. They don't really flesh out their trademark sound until the third album: "Sheer Heart Attack".
I'm binge watching all your Queen reactions, and sometimes I'm watching you two so hard for hints of what you're thinking, that I forget to listen to the songs. You remind me if how I felt when I dove deep into Queen, mostly mind-blowing, occasionally confusing, always interesting.
The real genius lies in Roy Baker's production. The intro to the song is the end of it played backwards. I challenge anyone to show me another example of this production technique.
It's funny that you guys mentioned Dungeons and dragons because as it turns out many of the songs on queen 1 and 2 such as "ogre battle" and "the seven seas of Rhye" were set in the fictional world of Rhye created by Freddie Mercury presumably for some fantasy novel he was writing on the side. That's right boys, at one point Freddie Mercury was writing a goddamn fantasy novel because life is just that awesome sometimes.
Hi guys I love watching your reactions. My reaction was exactly the same when the albums were originally released. I get to listen to the music with you guys (taken me back) and share your reaction, hell I feel we're in the same room, when you make a comment I verbalize my agreement out loud😁 . This is my 7th week in self isolation due to Covid - 19 ( just another 5 weeks to go). You've both brightened up my time during lock down a big Rock THANK YOU ✌ Alex C. Scotland.
Queen "The Game" was their very first time using a synth. And they even stated it on the liner notes. Oh, and "The Game" is perhaps their best album ever put down vinyl.
Hey Andy & Alex....sounds like a great title for a sitcom 😂..A fantastic reaction to another Queen Video, they have such an amazing body of work, and so difficult to pigeonhole them in their varied styles....just classic. It's uncanny when I checked my phone I was only thinking about you and the Queen reacts and within 30 secs I get the notification!!!! Great job guys as usual. And by the way....I'm all for a LOTR Binge!!!! I had one last year on The Hobbit!!! Keep rocking and enjoy the rest of the week...you guys ROCK!!😆👍👏
@@andyandalex Great minds think alike!!!! Watching you 2 dudes doing a react dressed as your favourite LOTR characters, that would be cool.....although I can't see it happening😢 Look 4ward to the next react vid, take care buddy!!!
Funny you should mention D&D. I once considered developing an entire year-long plotline for a LARP I play revolving around the entire Queen II album. The concept wouldn't have worked, since LARP is too freeform, but I really loved the idea.
Hey, great reaction! I love your vids and can’t wait for more! I think you guys should react to Rock it (Prime Jive). It’s one of my favorite songs written by Roger Taylor because it’s so different than most of the songs that he wrote for Queen.

So even though you see the image that people recognize with Bohemian Rhapsody which was on their 4th album, this is one of Queen's early works on their second album. Freddie actually wrote this around 1971, a couple of years before their debut album. Their first few albums were more heavy rock, and I think there are other songs you should listen to from them to get an idea. Seven Seas of Rhye and Son and Daughter (preferably Live at the Rainbow).
This is the album that is referenced in the Bohemian rhapsody movie in which they wore out the oxide on the recording tape in the studio by dubbing a million times....this song represents a fantasy world created by Freddie, an ogre battle in fact. The screaming part in the middle (what you interpreted as Jazzy) was in fact the Ogre Battle itself . It was crafted like a fine artist would create an impressionistic painting .Truly demonstrates the bands remarkable ability and classical training , in that they wrote the song in movements much like a classical composer did
Lucky to see Queen during A Day at the Races tour. Home on Xmas break from school. Ogre Battle live ... goosebumps.
"Ogre Battle" is a great example of what an excellent rhythm player Brian May has always been. He gets more attention for his beautiful tone in his solos, but there are an awful lot of his rhythm parts that are super good.
Thank you for doing these reactions. I've been watching them for quite some time and I really like them.
Queen II is probably my favourite Queen album. The reversed part at the intro was taken from the song's ending. The song plays that ending backwards until 1:54 in this video.
Listen-you weren’t that far off. March of the Black Queen is the anchor song on Side Black of Queen II. Ogre Battle is the first song on that side. I’ve loved that entire side since 1976, and I still know all the words, and let me tell you-that’s a miracle, given my age! Some things apparently never leave the brain. If you haven’t listened to Side Black (Side 2) of Queen II the album, do yourselves a favor.
I've got a original Record of Queen II of 1974.
I bought it in '74. I agree, initially the Black side was my favourite.... but now I can't pick White or Black. One of my all time top 10 albums... ever. Please put me on a desert island ;-)
You asked the same question many new fans do, wondering why the cover of Queen II looks so much like the "Bohemian Rhapsody" video. The explanation is pretty straightforward. The album came out the year before they recorded that song, so when they were putting ideas for the video together, they wanted to recreate that shadowy image of band. The album cover came first, taken by the famous music photographer Mick Rock, itself inspired by a photo of Marlene Dietrich. Then they recreated it for the "Rhapsody" video.
Also wanted to add, if this hasn't mentioned before, that Freddie created his own fantasy world called Rhye, mentioned in the Seven Seas of Rhye, and built upon its story with other songs from (at least) the first two albums, possibly the third as well (Lap of the Gods Revisited seems to be its conclusion).
The intro is the end of the song backwards. The swooshes is the slow fade up of of the gong backwards. The video for Bohemian Rhapsody, they decided to have the queen ii album cover come to life. This album and their first album was recorded on 16 tracks. There was a lot of bouncing and sub mixes. This like all of queen’ albums do not sound dated. Keep rockin
I really recommend Now Im Here By Queen as is one of my favourites and many other peoples too!
Clicked on this pretty fast. Great reaction. Such a cool song. Thanks for doing it
Thanks for watching!!! 😁😁
One of my favorites by Queen. Need to react to Stone Cold Crazy off the Sheer Heart Attack album and the live version at the Rainbow in 1974. You could do both in the same reaction video. It is a short song by Queen standards.
I love how most of Freddie's songs' titles in the first albums were like taken from fairytales, hehe.
You make fantastic reviews, guys! Thank you so much!!
Give No one but you a listen it was written after Freddie Mercury's death it's more or less a Tribute song to him it is also a Tearjerker and would make even the coldest person Cry
And the music video. It is the only song that has ever made me cry.
The middle section where your guy on the right had criticized as being too, " free form" with all the noises and stuff....was representing the frantic battle with screams and chaos...of the ogres. I think your friend didn't get that. Note Taylor's insane longgggggg screams and etc., etc., etc...
Ogre Battle is a gem and a strange one but a really fantastic start a slow build up then it bashes your head in a true Queen classic Andy and Alex.
I'm sitting in a hotel room with my wife in York Yorkshire UK for a couple of days.
Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.
Some background info :-)
the Queen II album is their second album from 1974.
The A Night at the Opera album is the one with Bohemian Rhapsody.
That's their 4th album from 1975, just one year later.
(Back then Queen were "young and hungry", putting out an album every few months while being constantly on tour.)
Ogre Battle - written by Freddy on guitar - is the Intro song of the second side of the vinyl: the "Black Side" completely written by Freddie.
Most of the songs on this album fade into the next song: Ogre Battle morphs into The Fairy Fellers Master Stroke which morphs into Nevermore.
You could see those as one song in three parts (much like the Bohemian Rhapsody).
Fantastic reaction! Queen II is there second album it has songs like White Queen, March of the Black Queen and Seven Seas of Rhye. A night at the opera is there fourth album featuring Bohemian Rhapsody (and many other fantastic tracks). Because of the bands liking of the image of the four faces on Queen II album cover they used it again for the Bohemian Rhapsody video.
Keep up the good work looking forward to more David Bowie
I have never heard this song, pretty cool choice guys. I am really hoping you are going to listen to Tie your Mother down , Hammer to fall, and etc.
Sending a smile from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 😊❤️👑👑👑👑
This is great, your initial reaction is just like my nephew the first time I played him Ogre Battle. (He was not expecting this from his 53 year old auntie!)
the Night Comes Down...
The intro of this song, is the outro, backwards. They did the mix, did a second pass of the outro and let the gong tail fade to infinity. Then, they flipped the tape around and spliced it backwards onto the front of the mix. Later, they added the flanging. You'll notice that the figure Brian May is playing on the A chord with the G note and E chord, is the same backwards as forward.
idiots believe Freddie recorded the guitar track...lol
Muscle! Exactly! Plus a wild ride! Love it when you two do Queen. Queen II didn't chart as an album until AFTER A Night at the Opera. One of my very favorite Queen songs. This Queen at their powerful best. Along with Innuendo, my favorite album too. Some nice weird stuff on this.

You have to understand the song to get what is going on, the sounds are where the ogres are in mid battle, fighting screaming ect, it's there for a reason, Freddie was a perfectionist so would have only put it there because if had to be
But the middle bit is where they're all having their big ogre fight! 😂 I love how it's all grr ogres theyre really big and theyre having a big fight aaarrgghh, and now they're all going home for their dinner the end 🤣🤣🤣 This is a good one live for Brian's guitar!
I know, this is so funny!! 😂😂
Probably because they didn't use headphones, they missed the battle and just heard noise. With Queen you need a good loud stereo with speaker separation or headphones.
@@mustangdebbie56 Queen are definitely headphones music!
Best yt comment ever!
Hahah I haven't even watched the entire video yet, but I have always thought that the album Queen II sounded like a whole D&D campaign! I hope someday you take the time out to listen to it in its entirety (and with headphones 😉). Anyway...on to actually watching the video 😁
@Etc
😁😁😁
FYI - the backwards bits at the beginning of the song is in fact the ending of the tune. The "spaceship" sounds is the gong at the end of the song, backwards and slowly faded up.
Never knew Queen was this experimental awesome song though peace!
kloteyoshi1 omg really.Thats hat they are known for😂I recommend listening to Liar or good old fashion lover boy or crazy little thing called love or another one bites the dust or fat bottomed girls or now I’m here.I Think you have heard some of these songs but if you listen to all of them they are all different styles of music.And they do different music but most of the time they always do good
Dear friend, you need to listen to Queen’s first two albums. Do yourself a favour - Make space and time and listen to each one all the way through - the way they were made to be heard. Their early work was famously experimental.
All of side 2 of the album Queen 2 is all Freddie's songs
He composed ogre battle on guitar
Queen II is the bands best album IMO. March of the Black Queen and White Queen (As it began) are certainly two of Queen's finest songs. This band are in a league of their own, and Freddie's talents are off the chart.
Ogre Battle! Love this song. Many credit Stone Cold Crazy and one of the pioneers of speed/thrash metal. I always say one has to go 1 album before and listen to Ogre Battle. Ok... Now that I have hyped myself up I look forward to watching your reaction.
I love the way you constantly move to the music. I can never keep still listening to my favourite music. It's weird, but it's as if I become "as one" with it in a bizarre kind of way.
I'm a genuine music fanatic and Queen will always be one of my number one bands.😀 I love classical music and much of Queen's early stuff had a definite Baroque and Classical vibe, i.e. "Love Of My Life" and "Procession."
I love your reactions, and I can't wait for Wednesdays! But, I wish you would listen to the song from the record and then compare and contrast it to a Live version. Especially when listening to Queen's earlier stuff. Freddie firmly believed live performances should be different, theatrical, and fun. Otherwise, he said, they might as well put cardboard cutouts of themselves on stage and just play the record. Thanks!
@Lolli Nelson
Hmmmm, I’ll get to the live versions I promise , I just like to hear the studio ones first, and keeping them separate ensures I can have continuous Queen content for you guys! 😁
@@andyandalex Excellent, thanks for your response! I love this journey your channel allows us to go on!!!
@Lolli Nelson
😁😁💁🏻❤️
AndyReacts This is a very good policy, mind you, it will take you quite a while: their catalogue is nearly 170 songs.
@@andyandalex - You could do them studio and live for the same video and still have plenty of content. :-)
Please react to ‘It’s Late’.
It’s Late is one of Queen’s masterpieces. Probably my highest rotation Queen track.
Hanny Hawkins agreed 👍
Is so beautiful that song :,) 🖤
I get chills whenever i hear It's Late"
It's Late is definitely one of my Queen faves. Very often underrated. Spread Your Wings is another from the same album that you could say the same thing about.
That reverse was so good. It's incredibly hard to do, especially the way they did.
Yeah early queen was more rockin but gave us strong hints as to where they were heading to. They of course became more layered and textured as time went on culminating in Bohemian Rhapsody IMO. Early queen is a treasure
First album was a rocker and Queen II was progressive rock. Sheer Heart Attack was when they started to be more accessible to the masses. Queen II has always been my favorite, and I always listen to the entire album, in order.
SNES game called Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen, were inspires by these two songs.
The developers were huge Queen fans.
For the bohemian rhapsody music video, they purposefully recreated the image from Queen II...it feels weird to not hear Fairy feller's master stroke after this lol.
Did you start to sing "He's a fairy fellerrrrrrrr" like I did? lol
@@hellsbells8689 haha I did the ticking of the clock :D
Damn! Once we check out all the songs from an album perhaps we’ll do like a full album review to hear them all together, hmm, ideas!
@@andyandalex A lot of the early albums roll into the next track. On some the next one starts playing before the other finishes and it's only when you know the songs well, that you can hear the join.
@Hells Bells
Yeah it’s the same way with Floyd and other great groups, when Alex and I get more free time we’ll have to look into it!
Your faces! 😂 this is considered by many to be the first ever thrash metal song. Before it was invented. Can hear shades of March of the Black Queen in it.. Andy, Night at the Opera am shocked 😂 great reaction again. And now we know Alex is not freeform jazz fan, nor am I! Not many kinds of music I don't like though thankfully. Enjoyed this, keep em rollin on in 😎😎🤘🤘x
Bohemian Rhapsody came out on A Night at the Opera - their 4th Album. Queen II was the second one.
Queen 2 is their most underrated album. And their heaviest.
yess Wednesday is back🙌🏻
I like this song because it’s just so weird and unique.. you know what I mean?😂🤷🏼♀️ but I also think the middle section was a little too long tho☺️.
Anyways, their older songs always seem to tell a story like in a play or a fairytale 🤔 and lots of their songs just got such a strong message and deep meaning! I love that! And also the fact that they never revealed the true meaning behind lots of their records and instead just let it open for personal interpretation makes it so so interesting listening to their music 👍🏻
I‘m so happy you two enjoy them too☺️ and keep on reacting to their music😊 🎵
see ya boys !!
Great reaction video guys. Led Zeppelin referenced Lord of the Rings in their songs a lot. It's my understanding that Freddie created his own fantastical world and that's where Ogre Battle and many of the hardest sounding songs from their first few albums came from. After they hit it big, and more was demanded of their time, it was more difficult for Freddie to expand that world. (I could be completely wrong) The lyrics are important on all of Queen's albums. Even the tongue-in-cheek songs hold a bit of truth - you just have to dig to find it. As a writer and one-time singer, lyrics are important to me. I started making a list of bands you two need to listen to but it got so out of hand that I gave up. LOL
@phartley58 I'm not sure if you are serious or not.
I had heard about this, but thanks for bringing it to our attention!
@phartley58 Thank you. I usually keep my Queen info to comments on here, maybe a few other channels. Queen fans can be frightening if you get something wrong or have a different opinion than they do. My favorite part of writing is research and sometimes I get lost in it. I even research for writing poetry. Song lyrics fascinate me because, like poems, they can be interpreted different ways.
@phartley58 That's a tough one. Off the top of my head, 'Hammer to Fall'. It's about accepting death. It comes to us all. Because I grew up in the Cold War era, I found it comforting. Instead of being afraid of impending doom, just accept that you'll die whether it's from nuclear war or natural causes as you sleep. The upbeat music disguises the seriousness. There are many others I like for all kinds of reasons. What's your favorite Queen song?
Missy Frye That is a PERFECT exposition of the meaning of Hammer to Fall, which it took me whole paragraphs to write. You, ma’am are indeed a poet. It takes a poet to pack great meaning into few words.
You weren’t asking me, and it’s impossible to pick a favourite, but I keep coming back to It’s Late.
Seven Seas of Rhye is also famously another track about Freddie’s fantasy world, as is March of the Black Queen. Fair Feller’s Master Stroke is about someone else’s fantasy world - the artist who painted the picture that inspired Freddie’s song/
Lads have a smoke and listen to this either super room shakingly loud or with headphones on, intense and magical, great reaction guys.
Bo Rhap was 4th album. This #2 showcases a heavier progressive and fantasy style I entered of rock. Very powerful..my favorite are #'s 1&2.
Queen II is an amazing album ! Please listen to Father to Son. You won't be disappointed.
I second that suggestion. I was going to suggest it myself.
Yes Father to Son is an incredible song.
Thanks guys. Downloading this one!!!!!!
I love early Queen. It's so off the wall, but way good! You guys are lightening up a very slow, evening for me, stuck in airport with 2 delayed flights... ugh...
@juliact
Sorry to hear that! Glad we were able to lighten the mood! 😁
Choosing a Queen song based on the title is like opening a box of See's Chocolates. The quality is always there, but you never know what you're gonna get!
This isn't one of my favorites, but I always enjoy their vocals and musicianship. So clear and like you said, each player's contribution us there.
Ah, America, we're still not quite sure what to make of Queen. The movie Bohemian Rhapsody did way better overseas than here. Keep the Queen love alive!
A bit of a palindrome! Gong at beginning, gong at the end. (Did you notice the gong in Freddie's family's house in the movie?) Love watching you watch Queen! Always better live! 'White Queen', good, but some day you have to do 'The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke'.
It seems odd that they would have a gong
Yay!!!! I’ve been asking for this one!
Beautiful music. You made my day. Always love listen to Queen. They are the best some years ago. Still love their music.
No, Queen II was their second album. Night at the Opera (with Bohemian Rhapsody) was their fourth album. Ogre Battle was on Queen II (with March of the Black Queen and a bunch of other great music). I love when I open a reaction and I see which song you're doing and go, "Oh, you are NOT ready for this." This is definitely one of those songs. (Watching people lose their shit to Stone Cold Crazy is also fun.) That said I hadn't listened to the studio album for ages - I have the Live at the Rainbow version on my playlist - so even I was thrown when Roger started screaming his head off in the middle.
The song begins backwards then it switches to forward with a musical palindrome. That is how it is so seamless!!
Hi guys
Orge battle is indeed a gem
Fantastic song loved your reactions at the beginning bet you thought what the......
Queen rock
Thank you. First time I heard this. Brilliant song. It just flows along . Take care everyone. 🎸🎤🎶🎶🎹🎼🎸🎸
It had the same effect when I listened to "Whole lotta love" at a friend's house for the first time !!!
Just a FUN song! I love weird deep tracks in general. Ogre Battle is on my goofy playlist.
All time favorite weird track was Floyd- "Several Species of Small Fury Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" I still crack up to the long ass title.
i really love this song so much
This whole albbum is really a musician's album. Its not poppy with hits, just jam packed full of music.
Live Killers is pure rock inc. extended guitar solo lol
Queen II was the first LP I ever owned. My Mom gave me a stereo for my 16th birthday and my best friend gave me his copy of the album. Later that same day, he gave me his copy of 2112 by RUSH. Fucking pretty great day, that September of '80.
Just found out about you guys and in another video you did, I suggested this one....and you already did it :) I am happy now
You guys are funny. This album must be played in it's entirety because it's a giant story book and the songs run into each which gives a incredible ebb and flow. Just like Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" this album should be heard thru quality headphones with eyes closed.
Please react to "Fairy Feller's Master stroke" followed by "Nevermore." You won't be sorry.
I love watching you two, and your reactions to Queens music. You put a smile on my face, and I get to hear good music too.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is on the fourth album. The first two albums the band is definitely feeling their way through the metal/prog rock landscape. They don't really flesh out their trademark sound until the third album: "Sheer Heart Attack".
This was recommended to me again today. Still one of my favorite Queen tracks.
I'm binge watching all your Queen reactions, and sometimes I'm watching you two so hard for hints of what you're thinking, that I forget to listen to the songs. You remind me if how I felt when I dove deep into Queen, mostly mind-blowing, occasionally confusing, always interesting.
The real genius lies in Roy Baker's production. The intro to the song is the end of it played backwards. I challenge anyone to show me another example of this production technique.
@RUDI UK Roy Thomas Baker was instrumental in The Cars sound by merging Queen's harmonies with Kraftwerk's sterile synth sound.
What a ride :-)
I haven't listened to this one in a long time, and watching this with your reaction was super fun!
You were right, the March of the Black Queen and Ogre Battle are from the same album Queen ii
Dude march of the black queen was just a song not a whole album. And yes it was on queen 2
@Tate Mcilwain yeah mistakes were made haha
One of my favorite songs. And the drumming
The origins of Metal. Imagine that.
It's funny that you guys mentioned Dungeons and dragons because as it turns out many of the songs on queen 1 and 2 such as "ogre battle" and "the seven seas of Rhye" were set in the fictional world of Rhye created by Freddie Mercury presumably for some fantasy novel he was writing on the side. That's right boys, at one point Freddie Mercury was writing a goddamn fantasy novel because life is just that awesome sometimes.
Three left field suggestions based on your enjoyment to date: 1. Television: Marquee Moon, 2: Focus: Moving Waves 4: Hawkwind: In Search of Space
Hi guys I love watching your reactions. My reaction was exactly the same when the albums were originally released. I get to listen to the music with you guys (taken me back) and share your reaction, hell I feel we're in the same room, when you make a comment I verbalize my agreement out loud😁 . This is my 7th week in self isolation due to Covid - 19 ( just another 5 weeks to go). You've both brightened up my time during lock down a big Rock THANK YOU ✌ Alex C. Scotland.
Great reaction!!!
Do The Millionaire Waltz!!! Essential Queen song to hear!
@Sentinel Mortgage Corp
I’ve done that one, check my Queen playlist!! 😁
Wow, how did I miss that, lol? I’ll look for it!
All queen sounds are made without synthesizers...The opening is a reverse of a guitar riff...
Queen "The Game" was their very first time using a synth. And they even stated it on the liner notes. Oh, and "The Game" is perhaps their best album ever put down vinyl.
Hey Andy & Alex....sounds like a great title for a sitcom 😂..A fantastic reaction to another Queen Video, they have such an amazing body of work, and so difficult to pigeonhole them in their varied styles....just classic. It's uncanny when I checked my phone I was only thinking about you and the Queen reacts and within 30 secs I get the notification!!!! Great job guys as usual. And by the way....I'm all for a LOTR Binge!!!! I had one last year on The Hobbit!!! Keep rocking and enjoy the rest of the week...you guys ROCK!!😆👍👏

Haha yes LOTR is awesome! Glad I was able to post as soon as you felt it was time! 😁
@@andyandalex Great minds think alike!!!! Watching you 2 dudes doing a react dressed as your favourite LOTR characters, that would be cool.....although I can't see it happening😢 Look 4ward to the next react vid, take care buddy!!!
Man, I consider myself a Queen fan, but I've never heard this song before. I definitely need to get it into my rotation.
Funny you should mention D&D. I once considered developing an entire year-long plotline for a LARP I play revolving around the entire Queen II album. The concept wouldn't have worked, since LARP is too freeform, but I really loved the idea.
Queen - March of the Black Queen

I’ve done that one already! 😁😁
@@andyandalex oh shit! Gotta watch it then :p
Hey, great reaction! I love your vids and can’t wait for more! I think you guys should react to Rock it (Prime Jive). It’s one of my favorite songs written by Roger Taylor because it’s so different than most of the songs that he wrote for Queen.
I love this song.👍
