Beautifully made, expertly crafted, never to be repeated in its pure genius. Wonderful design, I can hear this any day, and it brings a smile of enjoyment and excitement!!!❤
Brian May is a Bachelor of Science he has a PHD and hes a Astrophysicist hes a right intelligent man ,John Deacon on Bass has a Degree in Electronics and John Taylor has Degree in Bioloigy and Freddie had a Degree in Art so all of the group were very well educated
I like that you keep it 100. You didn't pretend you didn't know this song. Thanks for the reaction. If you're looking for Queen songs try "I Want It All" It's a banger you might not know.
YES! the crap "reactions" pretending to have never heard this (among others) just make me mad. These gentlemen aren't playing games like that and I respect that SO much.
Here's 5 suggestions for you: Queen Live Aid concert. Queen Live Aid concert. Queen Live Aid concert. Queen Live Aid concert. Queen Live Aid concert. OK? Got it? 😀
Great reaction guys!... I would suggest reacting to 'Somebody To Love " like many others have said but listen to the Studio Version 1st... Then onto the Live 1981 Montreal Version, to see the difference ... they change things up in their live concerts. Best band in the world with the greatest frontman ever, there is no comparison!.. R.I.P Freddie Mercury.
Hey guys I've got a suggestion that's a bit different, but still relates to Queen. I think you might find it interesting "Green Day Crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody [Live in Hyde Park]" I get goose bumps whenever I watch this. Green Day's Revolutionary Radio Tour brought together an unlikely swath of Queen fans in London, where a stadium in Hyde Park had an estimated crowd size of 65,000 people gathered to see Green Day's massive stadium show and they sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" in unison.
Me too! They sang every single word and sound to a recording of Bohemian Rhapsody that was airing before Green Day's concert. Word for word, forty years after it was released. Just amazing!
This is a musical masterpiece ! Freddie Mercury might very well be the greatest male vocalist ever ! It’s tough. I got it down to a Elvis, Steve Perry, and Freddie Mercury.
I saw Queen in 1974 at Preston Guildhall in the UK. They were the support band on tour with a band called Mott The Hoople. Queen had just released a single called Seven Seas of Rye which is a great rock song. I recommend that you give a listen.
@@Ssstinkerbell1 Fair enough. Then his replacements, and modern copies of his guitar, are the only oak body guitars that are known to exist. The point is nobody makes guitars from oak, because it's heavy.
You gentlemen should react to the "Live in Montreal 1981" video. I saw them on that tour at Madison Square Garden in September 1980. Amazing show 🤯. When they did this song in concert the stage would go dark as the center part of the song came in. It was to hard to recreate live so they'd leave the stage and play the studio part, then jump back out and finish it strong. If you liked this, check out "March of the Black Queen/Funny How Love Is" off Queen II. Gotta do them together as that's how they play out on the record. It was "Bohemian Rhapsody" before it came out.
Iconic song from an iconic band. Thank you for your reaction and not trying to say you never heard of Queen or Bohemian Rhapsody. It would be almost impossible not to have heard this song by at least somebody. My suggestions for Queen songs would both be live performances. Somebody To Love live in Montreal 1981 and White Queen Live at Odeon, Hammersmith 1975. Both of these performances are perfection by every member of the band and "guaranteed to blow your mind" (to borrow a line from their song Killer Queen.
You guys really need to check out Queens Live Aid performance in 1985 I was 15 and 54 today and when I say I have seen countless concerts and out of them all Queen at Live Aid was the absolute best I'd ever seen!
Freddie's genius musicianship and the others also+ all their diligent, perfectionist hard work gave civilisation this for centuries to come. Yes, them and this - Legendary boys and girls.
Gives me Good chills just Thinking about that performance!!! They were such a Special Pairing, & it was just Absolutely Breathtaking to see him so Easily “holding his own”!!! I was over the moon for him living his Dream, & sooo Spectacularly!!!🥰
IT WAS ONE THING HE HONORED ALWAYS TO DO.. SO GLAD HIS ONE ON HIS BUCKET LIST CAME TRUE. MISSED OUT A GREAT PERFORMER. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND ✨️✨️ WE STILL HEAR YOU ,SEE YOU AND LOVE YOU💙
What is so great about the song is that everyone takes away from it whatever they choose too. He would never say what it was about, he always said it is up to the listener. Thank you guys for a great reaction. When I see young people loving Queen I have hope some how I have hope.
Live: Stone Cold Crazy, Liar 1974 @Rainbow; White Queen (Odeon 1975 or 74 Rainbow); 1981 Montreal, Play the Game, Somebody to Love, Dragon Attack, BoRhap, etc…..
I was 12 going on 13 when this song came out. We had never heard anything like it. It was just so amazing! I mean..can you imagine? We were in love! And it’s just as great now as the first time I heard it.
I was in high school when this came out. This song definitely got everyone’s attention. There’d never been anything like it. Of course, we weren’t strangers to Queen; this wasn’t their first song. Fast forward nearly 3 decades later. In the early 2000s, RUclips came out. And what was the first thing I watched? This. And we all now know about the background behind this very sad autobiographical song Freddie wrote and composed. For decades even the band members know about the song’s meaning. Whenever I hear it now, it makes me feel like crying. You see, back then if you were gay, you might think you should never have been born at all. And that being in a relationship with another man was about the same as putting a gun against your head. Freddie always felt tremendous shame for being gay. He knew his family and how they just couldn’t take finding out he was. Especially his Mother. 😥
The first part of the song is all FREDDIE MECURY singing! The video shows the boys lip-syncing to Freddie's amazing vocals. I have loved this man for almost all my life!!! I was a kid when I heard this song and 'nothing really mattered' after listening to his incredible voice!!
I'm so glad y'all love Queen! Although this is unrelated to Queen, I would LOVE for you to react to Heart covering Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors performance! The living members of Led Zeppelin were there and the late drummer son actually played the drums with Heart in the performance! It. Is. INCREDIBLE!
for me who has been a fan of queen since 1976 i can honestly say there has never been a better band/group than queen ever... for they are the greatest group of all time fronted by one of the best frontmen in history.... if you car to take the challenge goto ANY Music concert and play this song while the live band is having a break and you will hear thousands of people gining it word for word decades after freddy's death !
I first saw Queen supporting Mott the Hoople at Hanley Victoria Hall \, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs in the early 70's - what a great gig that was! Queen 1st album is still my favourite, followed by Sheer Heart Attack. But Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterclass in writing, performance and recording. And, I agree, guys - Freddie Mercury was one of THE best frontmen ever! So charismatic and dynamic, and supported by one of my favourite guitarists, the very distinctive Mr May!! Backed by a very good, very consistent rhythm section and that has to be one of the top bands ever - and worldwide! Awesome - glad you like this one, Guys.
Not quite true. Many others were making short films of themselves mimeing or acting to their songs to distribute to television stations around the world years before this. The Beatles notably. I watched a video of them talking about recording several "videos" for songs from a new album in just one day. Bohemian Rhapsody took it to a new scale and height of production.
I remember so well hearing this when it was first released in 1975. It was a game changing piece of music that blew us all away as nothing had been seen or heard ever before. Four great musicians with lead singer Freddie Mercury being, imo, THE greatest frontman of any band ever. Have at look at their performance at Wembley in the Live Aid concert in 1985.
I love the entire album A Night at the Opera. They were very much going for a rock opera. Other bands were doing the same at that time. Check out The Who's Tommy, for example. The other album that has most of the hits I love from Queen is A Day at the Races. Going to the races and to the Opera are two very British things to do and places where the queen usually makes an appearance at some point. Freddie Mercury was known to have said that they were proud of being British. I'll never forget hearing Queen for the first time when I was a college. I remember so many people who thought Queen was to theatrical, and said they'll never become successful LOL yeah we laughed at them a lot. Thanks for another interesting and enjoyable reaction.. of course you could do all of the classics like We will Rock You . One of my favorites is Love of My Life.
I saw Queen live shows since 75. Once I was 8 months pregnant on front row center (Dr Approved). Afterwards, Freddie touched my belly and said Freddie works for both boys or girls. He was great.
I highly recommend you guys watch Queens performance at Live Aid from 1985 holy shit it was without a doubt the best rock performance I have ever seen and in my 53 yrs I have seen tons of concerts all of them rock and Queen at Live Aid was the best I watched that live I was 15 at the time and I was blown away!
You guys should check out the 2017 Green Day Concert in Hyde Park. The crowd of 65,000 sings Bohemian Rhapsody before Green Day takes the stage.. 65,000 people singing 43 years after this song came out.
I love you gentlemen so much! Queen is an amazing band. Freddie was one of a kind. Your reaction is beautiful...and you are right they were ahead of their time.
I've just come across your channel and loved the fun you were having with this song. I'd love to see your reaction to their full 20 min set at the Live Aid concert. 💜
They absolutely should!! If you like Queen and know about Freddie’s sad and tragic death.. youMUST SEE THAT UNBELIEVABLE PERFORMANCE!! I already said it but .. I cry EVERY TIME I SEE IT! Watched the movie with my parents 76-77 yrs old and video taped them rocking and singing and mom balling at the end.. (a very very rare thing to witness) so YES YOU MUST SEE THE LIVE AID PERFORMANCE!! Pleaaasseee!!!
Thanks guys, great reaction... just subbed in hopes of hearing more Queen... a lifetime is never enough!! Yes, Freddie could sing anything, BUT Sir Brian May, the Guitar World Magazine's greatest guitarist of all time, playing a waltz on the Red Special?? Check out "Millionaire Waltz" or "Dreamer's Ball" or "The March of the Black Queen" or go way back and do "Liar", which is a showcase of all of their musical talents individually, quite spectacular... they are ALL legends in my book... blessings.
THANKS GUYS!! Love Queen 👑 Fun Fact - Before Freddie’s death he was shown the Wayne’s World Bo Rap scene and he thought it was funny great!! Another Fun Fact - Freddie & Michael Jackson did a couple demos together .. only one was released called THERE MUST BE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS!! MJ was a fan of Queen but a bigger fan of Freddie!!
I agree, Queen is the greatest band with the legendary Freddie Mercury! I've been listening to Queen for about 45 years and one of my favorites is " White Queen " Odeon Hammersmith, Live 1975. This is a hidden gem as well as being hauntingly beautiful. I guarantee you guys won't be disappointed, it's Queen right? Love your enthusiasm and the music you react to. 🫶👏
Queen... One word: AMAZING!!! There will never be another Freddie Mercury. Or Brian May, Roger Taylor, or John Decon. My all time favorite group! ~💜 Love to see your reaction to "Innuendo" #request
Thanks God Mike Meyes included This into Waynes World. When the Direct Wanted Something Like Guns n Roses at the Time, That was my first contact with this MASTERPIECE.
Freddie was working on writing three very different songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this epic masterpiece. One of the three was originally going to be called "The Cowboy Song" and is where the shooting references come from. The beautiful harmony at the very beginning is actually just Freddie harmonizing with himself on multiple tracks.
Love your guys reactions! If this genre of videos on RUclips youre my favorite and look forward to hearing more of your reactions. If I could, id love to RECOMMEND you react to Bob Dylan ITS ALRIGHT MA IM ONLY BLEEDING. His poetry and lyricism is top notch and it was written in 1965 but still relevant to our world today. Peace & Love! Will add the link to the video you should use if you choose to review it. It's the live version and it's insane. ruclips.net/video/JBNWkCsmqAY/видео.html
Oh look another channel afraid of Queen superfreak unhinged fans so reviewing a completely manufactured official video that took several hundred takes to fabricate. The 1970s version of auto tune. Pre Cher. MEH.
A magnificent piece of Art! Another one you might enjoy is Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding by Elton John. Make sure you listen to the long version with both songs in it, it does not dissapoint. Sir Elton John never dissapoints.
Im laughing at the fact that he was watching Disney movies and not listening to music. Only joking. Try queen live in 1981,Montreal, performing somebody to love. Have you heard Janis Joplin live singing Ball and chain? You will be in the presence of a generation of genius talent
There are great bands and then there are GREAT BANDS! Certainly a masterpiece. I’m 54 years old and come from a family of Queen fans so naturally I grew up listening to them. Wayne’s World brought this song back to light. I have a 15 yr old and she knows this song by heart.
New Wave/Synth Pop/Alternative Bands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recommend Yazoo “don’t go”, “situation” The endless rabbit hole of such bands is bottomless Regarding B52s This was not their one hit wonder of the 80s nor was this a one hit wonder band This is a Grammy winning New Wave Alternative band from the 70s Please also check out “Rock lobster”, “private Idaho” and then some They just retired from touring in 2022 but announced a 2023 Las Vegas Residency I beg you to do the research and do a deep dive on the band, top hits, and collaborations especially Cindy Pierson with REM “shiney happy people” Main band members (other musicians in rotation) Kate Pierson 😎 🎤 (vocals, keyboards, synth bass) Cindy Wilson 😎 🎤 (vocals, percussion) Fred Schneider 😎 🎤 (vocals, percussion)
I think you'd also love (REALLY LOVE) two Pink Flloyd tracks. Firstly 'Time' - listen to a studio version - David Gilmour takes you soaring :-). Secondly 'Comfortanly Numb' but it MUST be the Pulse concert version - you'll see probably one of the best , , , . . . but, hey, see for yourselves :-) And for something to really make your world or oyster larger than before - try something from elsewhere such as Japan :-) ruclips.net/video/3HY-L0CR-cU/видео.html. Thanks again guys. Enjoy.
I wouldn't say that Freddie's the greatest singer. He may be, but that's up for debate. The thing that sets him apart from other singers, is his songwriting ability. How he came up with all the great songs he wrote and composed (along with the other members of Queen), is amazing. Queen's first 7 albums were all like greatest hits compilations. Not a bad song on _ANY_ of them.
![Tee Grizzley - Blow for Blow (feat. J. Cole) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wNLN5xsx5dc/mqdefault.jpg)
That is actually what a Rhapsody is. It is a one-movement work that is episodic and free flowing. Switching from one tempo and style to another.
A fantastic definition of Rhapsody. Thank you for informing the masses. 😊
This comment deserves a million likes
Freddy was such an opera fan as we all know, but incorporating it into rock music of the 70’s is pure genius ❤
too bad these idiots were not smart enough to recognize a true work of art !!!!!!!
Beautifully made, expertly crafted, never to be repeated in its pure genius. Wonderful design, I can hear this any day, and it brings a smile of enjoyment and excitement!!!❤
Brian May is a Bachelor of Science he has a PHD and hes a Astrophysicist hes a right intelligent man ,John Deacon on Bass has a Degree in Electronics and John Taylor has Degree in Bioloigy and Freddie had a Degree in Art so all of the group were very well educated
And Brian May is a Knight 👑🥂
Brian's solo here has been described as "UK in music"
Sorry for nitpicking, just correcting, it's Roger Taylor, not John Taylor. (John Taylor is a friend of mine, Lol)
Brian May also made his guitar, at home with his dad, and Rodger the drummer sang the high notes.
ROGER Taylor.😉
I like that you keep it 100. You didn't pretend you didn't know this song. Thanks for the reaction. If you're looking for Queen songs try "I Want It All" It's a banger you might not know.
YES! the crap "reactions" pretending to have never heard this (among others) just make me mad. These gentlemen aren't playing games like that and I respect that SO much.
Somebody to love- live in Montreal 1981 great performance
And they said this was too long to be a hit !!!!!!! Thank you Kenny Everet , you saved this song
Yes, it initially was not a hit, as record producers thought it was too long to play on the radio. I remember it well.
Here's 5 suggestions for you: Queen Live Aid concert. Queen Live Aid concert. Queen Live Aid concert. Queen Live Aid concert. Queen Live Aid concert. OK? Got it? 😀
I prefer studio versions of Queen songs
Not forgetting Queen Live Aid 🤪👍🇬🇧
@@steddie4514 Hey yeah - that too 🤣😂😄
@@lipby OK :-) But the Live Aid concert is a one off really.
@nickbasden....here’s another suggestion for them.... to stop flinging their arms around like demented toddlers...Queen deserves better that that🤩
Great reaction guys!... I would suggest reacting to 'Somebody To Love " like many others have said but listen to the Studio Version 1st... Then onto the Live 1981 Montreal Version, to see the difference ... they change things up in their live concerts. Best band in the world with the greatest frontman ever, there is no comparison!.. R.I.P Freddie Mercury.
I second this!
Hey guys I've got a suggestion that's a bit different, but still relates to Queen. I think you might find it interesting "Green Day Crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody [Live in Hyde Park]" I get goose bumps whenever I watch this. Green Day's Revolutionary Radio Tour brought together an unlikely swath of Queen fans in London, where a stadium in Hyde Park had an estimated crowd size of 65,000 people gathered to see Green Day's massive stadium show and they sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" in unison.

@@trishc3099 Yep im with you on that.
Me too! They sang every single word and sound to a recording of Bohemian Rhapsody that was airing before Green Day's concert. Word for word, forty years after it was released. Just amazing!
RIP Farrokh Bulsara remembering you from your roots in Zanzibar.
This is a musical masterpiece ! Freddie Mercury might very well be the greatest male vocalist ever ! It’s tough. I got it down to a Elvis, Steve Perry, and Freddie Mercury.
Checkout Somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981 Its Epic!
Imagine seeing this performed live. I did in 1982. They killed it!!
Not to make you feel old, but I was born mixed race in 1983. Love all ppl to this day.
OH 82 WAS GREAT 70S WAS THE GREAT. OH CRAP EVEN THE FIFTIES.
TODAY I JUST THINK THERE'S ALOT OF NONCENSE ❤
"Who Wants To Live Forever" is a great Queen song. It is from the film Highlander which Queen pretty much created the whole soundtrack for.
Queen did do the soundtrack for Highlander
I saw Queen in 1974 at Preston Guildhall in the UK. They were the support band on tour with a band called Mott The Hoople. Queen had just released a single called Seven Seas of Rye which is a great rock song. I recommend that you give a listen.
The absolute PERFECTION of this song is mind-boggling!
The "Red Special" that Brian May plays might be the only oak guitar in existence. (He made it in his garage with his dad.)
It was stolen!
@@Ssstinkerbell1 Fair enough. Then his replacements, and modern copies of his guitar, are the only oak body guitars that are known to exist. The point is nobody makes guitars from oak, because it's heavy.
You gentlemen should react to the "Live in Montreal 1981" video.
I saw them on that tour at Madison Square Garden in September 1980. Amazing show 🤯.
When they did this song in concert the stage would go dark as the center part of the song came in. It was to hard to recreate live so they'd leave the stage and play the studio part, then jump back out and finish it strong.
If you liked this, check out "March of the Black Queen/Funny How Love Is" off Queen II. Gotta do them together as that's how they play out on the record. It was "Bohemian Rhapsody" before it came out.
You've heard all Queen's songs? Try White Queen live at the Odeon Hammersmith. Thanks guys for this one
I think this is actually a three act opera, each act portraying a different emotion. It’s a brilliant composition.
Another One Bites the Dust, Somebody to Love, Killer Queen!!!
Iconic song from an iconic band. Thank you for your reaction and not trying to say you never heard of Queen or Bohemian Rhapsody. It would be almost impossible not to have heard this song by at least somebody. My suggestions for Queen songs would both be live performances. Somebody To Love live in Montreal 1981 and White Queen Live at Odeon, Hammersmith 1975. Both of these performances are perfection by every member of the band and "guaranteed to blow your mind" (to borrow a line from their song Killer Queen.
Amen
I think even if the song ended up not so good, you guys are pretty funny anyways, cheers for the company and kia ora from Aotearoa New Zealand
You guys really need to check out Queens Live Aid performance in 1985 I was 15 and 54 today and when I say I have seen countless concerts and out of them all Queen at Live Aid was the absolute best I'd ever seen!
Freddie was a force of nature. Very few reach that level of musical genius.
Freddie's genius musicianship and the others also+ all their diligent, perfectionist hard work gave civilisation this for centuries to come. Yes, them and this - Legendary boys and girls.
Freddie Sang with Opera Singer Montserrat Caballe "BARCELONA & HOW CAN I GO ON "...Both Amazing
Gives me Good chills just Thinking about that performance!!! They were such a Special Pairing, & it was just Absolutely Breathtaking to see him so Easily “holding his own”!!! I was over the moon for him living his Dream, & sooo Spectacularly!!!🥰
IT WAS ONE THING HE HONORED ALWAYS TO DO.. SO GLAD HIS ONE ON HIS BUCKET LIST CAME TRUE. MISSED OUT A GREAT PERFORMER. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND ✨️✨️
WE STILL HEAR YOU ,SEE YOU AND LOVE YOU💙
What is so great about the song is that everyone takes away from it whatever they choose too. He would never say what it was about, he always said it is up to the listener. Thank you guys for a great reaction. When I see young people loving Queen I have hope some how I have hope.
You should check out the live version of this from Montreal 1981!
Their 20 minute set at Live Aid is LEGENDARY. They stole the whole show. ❤
A rhapsody is a song-type that has an episodic nature with a lot of contrast between sections.
Live: Stone Cold Crazy, Liar 1974 @Rainbow; White Queen (Odeon 1975 or 74 Rainbow);
1981 Montreal, Play the Game, Somebody to Love, Dragon Attack, BoRhap, etc…..
Yo boys. Try Queen “back chat “. Live 1982 in Milton Keynes 🔥🔥🔥thanks bosses
Great reaction. I highly recommend their song White Queen, Live at the Odeon theater. Thanks!
more Queen please. Please do Somebody to Love-live Montreal 1981. My favorite live performance.
I was 12 going on 13 when this song came out. We had never heard anything like it. It was just so amazing! I mean..can you imagine? We were in love! And it’s just as great now as the first time I heard it.
Keep Yourself Alive.
Queen at their rocking best.
Sir Dr. Brian May CBE recently Knighted by King Charles and still touring in his 70's.
such an artist and showman what a loss
I was in high school when this came out. This song definitely got everyone’s attention. There’d never been anything like it. Of course, we weren’t strangers to Queen; this wasn’t their first song. Fast forward nearly 3 decades later. In the early 2000s, RUclips came out. And what was the first thing I watched? This.

You see, back then if you were gay, you might think you should never have been born at all. And that being in a relationship with another man was about the same as putting a gun against your head. Freddie always felt tremendous shame for being gay. He knew his family and how they just couldn’t take finding out he was. Especially his Mother. 😥
@1:45. AYO, THAT'S CRAZY! Just kidding. Freddy Mercury is G.OA.T. status.
Like I'm a year late to this party, but the reaction is priceless. ❤ Now I am totally motivated to head to work. Queen is a jewel in the music world
Some people don't realize the very high pitch voice in that song is the drummer not Freddy
It's so nice how they bring you back down after rocking you out. ❤✌️
The first part of the song is all FREDDIE MECURY singing! The video shows the boys lip-syncing to Freddie's amazing vocals. I have loved this man for almost all my life!!! I was a kid when I heard this song and 'nothing really mattered' after listening to his incredible voice!!
dis mite be a huge time jump but if yall wana see Freddie/Queen at peak GOAT status One Vision live @ Wembley 1986
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this reaction 😄 Thank you!
I'm so glad y'all love Queen!
Although this is unrelated to Queen, I would LOVE for you to react to Heart covering Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors performance! The living members of Led Zeppelin were there and the late drummer son actually played the drums with Heart in the performance!
It. Is. INCREDIBLE!
for me who has been a fan of queen since 1976 i can honestly say there has never been a better band/group than queen ever... for they are the greatest group of all time fronted by one of the best frontmen in history.... if you car to take the challenge goto ANY Music concert and play this song while the live band is having a break and you will hear thousands of people gining it word for word decades after freddy's death !
You Take My Breath Away live in Hyde Park. 1976 (I think).
Listen to under pressure by Freddie Mercury and David Bowie. Awesome song
I first saw Queen supporting Mott the Hoople at Hanley Victoria Hall \, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs in the early 70's - what a great gig that was! Queen 1st album is still my favourite, followed by Sheer Heart Attack. But Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterclass in writing, performance and recording. And, I agree, guys - Freddie Mercury was one of THE best frontmen ever! So charismatic and dynamic, and supported by one of my favourite guitarists, the very distinctive Mr May!! Backed by a very good, very consistent rhythm section and that has to be one of the top bands ever - and worldwide! Awesome - glad you like this one, Guys.
Love your reactions…..two songs I think you guys might really like are White Queen at Odeon Hammersmith and Liar at the Rainbow.
This video was the first time a video was made to promote a song, years before MTV.
Not quite true. Many others were making short films of themselves mimeing or acting to their songs to distribute to television stations around the world years before this. The Beatles notably. I watched a video of them talking about recording several "videos" for songs from a new album in just one day.
Bohemian Rhapsody took it to a new scale and height of production.
I remember so well hearing this when it was first released in 1975. It was a game changing piece of music that blew us all away as nothing had been seen or heard ever before. Four great musicians with lead singer Freddie Mercury being, imo, THE greatest frontman of any band ever. Have at look at their performance at Wembley in the Live Aid concert in 1985.
Save Me 1981 concert in Montreal!! Freddie's vocals are fantastic!
Classic stuff was in 4th or 5th grade bought it hot off press listening to an album is lost today a ritual in 60's n 70's
I love the entire album A Night at the Opera. They were very much going for a rock opera. Other bands were doing the same at that time. Check out The Who's Tommy, for
example.
The other album that has most of the hits I love from Queen is A Day at the Races.
Going to the races and to the Opera are two very British things to do and places where the queen usually makes an appearance at some point. Freddie Mercury was known to have said that they were proud of being British.
I'll never forget hearing Queen for the first time when I was a college. I remember so many people who thought Queen was to theatrical, and said they'll never become successful LOL yeah we laughed at them a lot.

Really..show some respect......it’s not a pantomime.
You all need to react to Innuendo, it's the book end to BoRhap.
I highly recommend you guys watch Queens performance at Live Aid from 1985 holy shit it was without a doubt the best rock performance I have ever seen and in my 53 yrs I have seen tons of concerts all of them rock and Queen at Live Aid was the best I watched that live I was 15 at the time and I was blown away!
You guys should check out the 2017 Green Day Concert in Hyde Park. The crowd of 65,000 sings Bohemian Rhapsody before Green Day takes the stage.. 65,000 people singing 43 years after this song came out.
Really enjoy all 3 of you enjoying music 🎶😁
Just found the channel fellas. Enjoying the back and forth between you guys. Keep it up. The word WILL get out!
Much appreciated!
Thats was a super fun reaction!❤
Thanks, guys! Headphones so important to appreciate this work... :)
You guys are great! I love your reactions! Thanks!
You should react to Queen at Live Aid. It’s considered to be one of the best, if not the best, concert set of all times.
Check out some the artist Meatloaf he has some awesome rock oprea
You are so funny guys hahaha Great reaction video
Always a banger 🔥🔥🔥
Love your reaction. Please do Freddy's favourite song Montreal live HD someone to love. And Wembley 1986 One Vision.
It's due to this song that the phrase "Rock Opera" exists.
I love you gentlemen so much! Queen is an amazing band. Freddie was one of a kind. Your reaction is beautiful...and you are right they were ahead of their time.
I've just come across your channel and loved the fun you were having with this song. I'd love to see your reaction to their full 20 min set at the Live Aid concert. 💜
They absolutely should!! If you like Queen and know about Freddie’s sad and tragic death.. youMUST SEE THAT UNBELIEVABLE PERFORMANCE!! I already said it but .. I cry EVERY TIME I SEE IT!
Watched the movie with my parents 76-77 yrs old and video taped them rocking and singing and mom balling at the end.. (a very very rare thing to witness) so YES YOU MUST SEE THE LIVE AID PERFORMANCE!! Pleaaasseee!!!
The Most Streamed song of the 20 th Century
Geniuses… real talk. These guys are ridiculously talented ❤️🎶❤️
Thanks guys, great reaction... just subbed in hopes of hearing more Queen... a lifetime is never enough!!
Yes, Freddie could sing anything, BUT Sir Brian May, the Guitar World Magazine's greatest guitarist of all time, playing a waltz on the Red Special?? Check out "Millionaire Waltz" or "Dreamer's Ball" or "The March of the Black Queen" or go way back and do "Liar", which is a showcase of all of their musical talents individually, quite spectacular... they are ALL legends in my book... blessings.
That Guitar World list was a joke though. Putting Brian May above Hendrix and Page. Blasphemy.
@@avidfather1864 Maybe you need to experience more of his work... THEN see who is blasphemous...
New to the channel.. Awesome reactions...
The best of the best!
Fenom202 looking up lol
THANKS GUYS!! Love Queen 👑 Fun Fact - Before Freddie’s death he was shown the Wayne’s World Bo Rap scene and he thought it was funny great!! Another Fun Fact - Freddie & Michael Jackson did a couple demos together .. only one was released called THERE MUST BE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS!! MJ was a fan of Queen but a bigger fan of Freddie!!
Awesome.. very cool and FUN facts thanks
Great Queen video is the live version of Somebody To Love
I love your reaction! You all made me smile! What Queen songs to react to? I want them all 👑👑, seriously, how about reacting to “I want It All”.
I agree, Queen is the greatest band with the legendary Freddie Mercury! I've been listening to Queen for about 45 years and one of my favorites is " White Queen " Odeon Hammersmith, Live 1975. This is a hidden gem as well as being hauntingly beautiful. I guarantee you guys won't be disappointed, it's Queen right? Love your enthusiasm and the music you react to. 🫶👏
Queen... One word: AMAZING!!! There will never be another Freddie Mercury. Or Brian May, Roger Taylor, or John Decon. My all time favorite group! ~💜 Love to see your reaction to "Innuendo" #request
Freddie will never be topped one of the music legends 🔥🔥
This was the best reaction to Queen that I've seen......love that you guys rocked out!!!!
No argument from me this is the best song ever from the best rock band ever.
Truth !!!
Thanks God Mike Meyes included This into Waynes World. When the Direct Wanted Something Like Guns n Roses at the Time, That was my first contact with this MASTERPIECE.
Freddie was working on writing three very different songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this epic masterpiece. One of the three was originally going to be called "The Cowboy Song" and is where the shooting references come from. The beautiful harmony at the very beginning is actually just Freddie harmonizing with himself on multiple tracks.
When u had to b talented to b a star.
Love your guys reactions! If this genre of videos on RUclips youre my favorite and look forward to hearing more of your reactions. If I could, id love to RECOMMEND you react to Bob Dylan ITS ALRIGHT MA IM ONLY BLEEDING. His poetry and lyricism is top notch and it was written in 1965 but still relevant to our world today. Peace & Love! Will add the link to the video you should use if you choose to review it. It's the live version and it's insane. ruclips.net/video/JBNWkCsmqAY/видео.html
Oh look another channel afraid of Queen superfreak unhinged fans so reviewing a completely manufactured official video that took several hundred takes to fabricate. The 1970s version of auto tune. Pre Cher. MEH.
A magnificent piece of Art! Another one you might enjoy is Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding by Elton John. Make sure you listen to the long version with both songs in it, it does not dissapoint. Sir Elton John never dissapoints.
Im laughing at the fact that he was watching Disney movies and not listening to music. Only joking. Try queen live in 1981,Montreal, performing somebody to love. Have you heard Janis Joplin live singing Ball and chain? You will be in the presence of a generation of genius talent
There are great bands and then there are GREAT BANDS! Certainly a masterpiece. I’m 54 years old and come from a family of Queen fans so naturally I grew up listening to them. Wayne’s World brought this song back to light. I have a 15 yr old and she knows this song by heart.
New Wave/Synth Pop/Alternative Bands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recommend Yazoo “don’t go”, “situation”
The endless rabbit hole of such bands is bottomless
Regarding B52s
This was not their one hit wonder of the 80s nor was this a one hit wonder band
This is a Grammy winning New Wave Alternative band from the 70s
Please also check out “Rock lobster”, “private Idaho” and then some
They just retired from touring in 2022 but announced a 2023 Las Vegas Residency
I beg you to do the research and do a deep dive on the band, top hits, and collaborations especially Cindy Pierson with REM “shiney happy people”
Main band members (other musicians in rotation)
Kate Pierson 😎 🎤 (vocals, keyboards, synth bass)
Cindy Wilson 😎 🎤 (vocals, percussion)
Fred Schneider 😎 🎤 (vocals, percussion)
I think you'd also love (REALLY LOVE) two Pink Flloyd tracks. Firstly 'Time' - listen to a studio version - David Gilmour takes you soaring :-). Secondly 'Comfortanly Numb' but it MUST be the Pulse concert version - you'll see probably one of the best , , , . . . but, hey, see for yourselves :-) And for something to really make your world or oyster larger than before - try something from elsewhere such as Japan :-) ruclips.net/video/3HY-L0CR-cU/видео.html. Thanks again guys. Enjoy.
I wouldn't say that Freddie's the greatest singer. He may be, but that's up for debate. The thing that sets him apart from other singers, is his songwriting ability. How he came up with all the great songs he wrote and composed (along with the other members of Queen), is amazing. Queen's first 7 albums were all like greatest hits compilations. Not a bad song on _ANY_ of them.
