In any other band, the drummer Roger Taylor would have been the lead singer, but with Freddie in the lineup ... no chance LOL But you guys summed it up: a song like this takes everyone in the band to bring to life on stage. This combination of four guys had chemistry that could never be duplicated in a million years
True and honestly Brian May is a good vocalist as well.
fact!
Absolutely! Roger sings several songs and sounds amazing, but when you have Freddie in the band....
@@dimedraweriv258 YES.. Brian as well... the only "non-singer" really was John, but even he filled in live... lol
Roger Taylor is probably one of the most underrated drummer in rock. He is also a fantastic singer.
Roger Taylor's vocals are often overshadowed by Freddie's virtuoso voice, but he's a phenomenal singer himself and his contribution to Queen's sound is one of the things that makes the group so damned good.
I mean, I was gonna hit the like button anyway, but when BJ said, "I'm sitting next to my Queen, and she has found somebody to love," THAT deserved a like right there and then. 😄
There are no backing vocalists or musicians. It’s all queen. Roger Taylor (the drummer) is a phenomenal singer and supports Freddie so good
I agree! Let's not forget Brian also, whenever he chips in!
Yeah!! I agree!!! I remember watching LIVE AID omg 😱 that concert with queen. Soo memorable!! ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS FOR QUEEN!!
Im In Love With My Car from tha same show is 🔥🔥 Roger is underrated af to sing & drum is not as easy is it sounds
Its not an insult to say backing singers!
Freddie also does the backing vocals on tracks!
@@bluebell3720 no insult was meant. I’m saying it’s only the 4 queen members singing in this live performance. No other background singers. I think you misunderstood my comment
Roger Taylor’s backup vocals make this song so good!!
That wasn’t beer Freddie was drinking- he didn’t drink beer during the show. He said he was afraid he would burp while trying to sing… 🤣 He drank a mixture of tea and honey to sooth his voice while singing.
I never knew about the “burping” thing, that’s so FUNNY (FUNNY like only Freddie could be)! I guess by Wembley, he wasn’t as worried about burping.
And it just happens to be in a Heiniken bottle?
@@alvamarsh4290 go back and watch the video- you don’t see him drink from the bottle, only the cups. The beer was for the other band members. Geez- maybe you need to see an eye doctor. 🙄
@@alvamarsh4290 I believe John Deacon, the bass player, who was rather shy, liked an alcoholic drink (or three) to calm his nerves on stage... and he rarely sang, so the burping wasn't so much of an issue for him.
This was a several hours-long performance, during which everyone in the band needed fluids. A piano provides a convenient table top for the band to have their drinks laid out.
In later shows, IIUC, they had a sort of tent erected on stage where they could retire to, with a proper refreshments table laid out for them. Morgan Fisher who played keyboards for them during a European tour in around '81 or'82 (?) tells a funny story of them all being in there while Brian was thrilling the audience (but, apparently, boring some of the other band members) with an extra long guitar solo.... Freddie was particularly restless, and suggested they might as well go shopping...
@@michellepetrillo2235 You don't burp from a Heineken, I tried 😉 It's all Water, like their Vegetables...
Roger Taylor is the drummer. All the super high notes are him, including in Bohemian Rhapsody. Listen to I’m In Love With My Car, he sings lead. It’s a completely different Queen.
YES YES YES! I love Freddie, but Roger's high vocal screams have been overlooked for too long. The whole band has amazing qualities, and everybody was involved.
No. Not all of the high notes Roger. Yes, Bohemian Rhapsody note a Bb5 is Roger, but that is not the highest note on a Queen album there are few higher notes, the highest note is E6 in It's Late, done by Freddie. Even in this performance of Somebody To Love. Roger sings up to A4 in this performance Freddie sing s up G#5. Roger did have a great high falsetto in 70's. But Freddie also had a great high falsetto.
@@ZENOBlAmusic Only one Freddie one of the best vocalists and performers of all time , for me he is no 1 .
@@marningritaguy Roger did have a great voice. But on every single Queen video you will see people just saying that Roger sang all of the high notes. Which is really not true at all. Even Brain May did a lot of high harmonies in the band. Roger for example never sang the high Bb5 note from Bohemian Rhapsody live. Freddie regularly sang that Bb5 note live even at 40 years old in 1986. It is easier to sing high in falsetto, it is much more difficult to sing high in chest voice. This something that Roger should be praised for more he had a great chest voice as well. There is a lot of incorrect information being thrown about. All 3 Queen vocalist sang high falsetto well.
Freddie mercury
Could hit' any note! He toned it down when he sang a duet' with Michael JACKSON.
This band was so tight! Brian May,guitar, Roger Taylor,drums, John Deacon,bass and Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano. I'm so blessed to say this was my music growing up in the 60s 70s and 80s. We had the best music!!!!
Freddie wrote every note. Perfection perfection . The best rock LIVE band EVER! EVER!
I couldn’t agree more with all he comments about Roger Taylor’s talent. Keep in mind that he did all this without a wireless headset like today’s drummers. He had to be at the mic at the right time without missing a beat.
Freddie absolutely took care of his instrument and never drank while performing. Every movement on stage was timed perfectly. Before he passes off his mic, a fresh cup of hot honey and lemon is placed on the piano. That’s what you saw him drink. Thanks for a great reaction!
Freddie Mercury wrote this song. The lyrics reflect a man calling out to God, asking why he works so hard, but can't find love. At the end of the song, he finds hope and decides he will not accept defeat.
All he had to do was find a good woman!
@@voodoochile333 he did have a good woman in his life.
THAT'S NOT REALLY TRUE. STOP✋🚫🔴MAKING UP YOUR OWN SELF SERVING LIES.😤😤😥😥
@@captainamericaamerica8090 is your comment directed towards me or the original comment by Metal Mark 12?
@@brunett93 metal Mark 12, makes up nonsense! Freddie actually was not religious at all. He followed logic and Science.
Arguably the greatest front man in Rock history. Freddy is incredible.
I have him and Chris Cornell tied, different but both are the greatest!
Roger Taylor has a great voice too!! That ending with him drumming and singing is so impressive! I saw them back in 1981, best concert ever!! ❤️❤️
I saw them in 81 too. No warmup band, played over 3 hrs. Of the 60 or 70 concerts I saw between 78 and 82 Queen was the best
It's hard to top a Queen live performance. Just brilliant.
Unbelievable concert
Roger Taylor (drummer) was underrated as a singer. I guess anyone on the stage with Freddie would be outshined.
If you go back and listen to Bohemian Rhapsody Roger sang the extremely high parts.
There are a lot of GREAT Roger Taylor songs! I’m in love with my car, Radio GAGa, so many more! Roger was and still is phenomenal!!! BTW, go listen to Queen 2, side 2 from Ogre Battle, thru the end of The March of the Black Queen, WITH HEADPHONES and you’ll know Bohemian Rhapsody was very TAME in comparison.
Freddie made it look effortless. A sign of true genius.💛
Four incredibly talented guys at the top off their game!!!!!! MAGIC!!!!
That drummer is the fabulous Roger Taylor! He's amazing! And adorable to boot..lol . Queen is just one of kind. All are SO talented!
He’s yummy. Even makes an adorable school girl in their music video. 😂
@@angeladiane5026 He's got nice legs. lol!
All the girls had a crush on Roger back in the day.
@@jodij6280 Amen to that! 🥰
Freddie's warm-up reaches places most singers can only dream of.
Just watch the full Montréal 1981 concert. Nonstop energy and each song done to perfection, All live, no auto tune, all musicians with talent.
Nobody physically can sing like Freddie Mercury. He had the fastest vibrato ever tested. He used the ventricular folds in his throat to create subharmonics a technique only ever seen in Tuvan singers. He also had a large jaw. So he was able to sing with perfect pitch and create his own vocal print making it recognizable to human ears. He was obviously born to sing and be a showman as he also had incredible energy. ❤More Queen and Freddie Mercury please. ❤The fact he found 3 other incredible musicians who could harmonize with him was fate. He wanted to be a legend. He still is.
I think you are incorrect as fastest. Look I said it in 2 sentences.
Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "You’re My Best Friend"!!
This was just epic. A stellar performance for Queen.
Your reaction was a delight! You’re so right, the talent of these 4 men is astronomical.
This video never fails to give me goosebumps!
One of my fav parts is when Freddie looks straight into the camera before his first vocal run. 🤩
Me too!
Roger, the drummer, was always there to help with vocals especially when Freddie's voice was tired or strained.
He was absolutely amazing on the high harmonies as well.
🤘 ❤
Rip to Queen Elizabeth the band loved her
Also this was definitely Aretha Franklin inspired
So sad Queen Elizabeth passed away.
@@tiffanytosh1569 it was her time.
Freddie had good taste! Jimi Hendrix & Aretha Franklin were his favorites. When he came to England he went to every Hendrix show he could. Great band. Glad movie made more people aware of their music. Early (70’s) Queen so good also. Thnx
@@Lilah1754 Freddie Mercury was a Amazing TALENT. NOBODY OVERALL COMES CLOSE= 🐯🐯🐯🐯👑👑👑👑🔱🔱🔱🔱🐯🐯🐯🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆MERCURY STARTED SINGING GOSPEL= 🙏🙏IN CHURCHES AT 9 YEARS OLD! He sang OPERA!! PLAYED 6 MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
@@Lilah1754 I'M NOT THE GOAT
FREDDIE MERCURY AND THERE'S VIDS' ALL OVER YOU TUBE= OF MERCURY SINGING OPERA ! PLAYING GUITAR, DRUMS, ETC
Queen is the band four equal members Freddie was the lead singer he has said many times in interviews he was not the leader but the lead singer they were all multi instrumentalists Roger Taylor on drums has an amazing voice had solo projects running alongside Queen also Dr Brian May lead guitar amazing voice also had a solo career John Deacon bass guitar very rarely sang said he couldn’t sing all wrote number one hits all inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame one brilliant amazing band ❤️❤️
When this master of many musical instruments was asked which was his favorite his response was "The audience, darling, the audience.!" Freddy loved us as much as we love him. Blessed to experience them live back in the day. An energy transfer unlike any other before or since.
YES! I knew y'all would appreciate this live version. Freddie in his prime. The entire Montreal 81 concert is 🔥🔥🔥
The talent in that band was beyond belief.
None like them before or since. They earned their place in history.
Just found you both & I am thrilled you are reacting to thr legendary rock band QUEEN !!! I subscribed to you too so I don't miss your next QUEEN reactions. I can see you both are the real deal, a beautiful in-love couple who hopefully now get why Freddie Mercury's performances are truly unforgettable. The man was unique & his 4 octave voice was acknowledged by many music people who call him the greatest performer of all time. The further you get down the QUEEN rabbit hole of songs, the more you'll understand why he is loved & listened to in every country every day .... there never was anyone like him. You will also discover that in his early 40s he made an album called BARCELONA singing opera live onstage with MONTSERRAT CABALLE, the world's most famous opera Soprano of the 1980s & 1990s. Freddie wrote all the music of the album, some with his pianoplayer friend, & the lyrics, one opera song in Japanese and another opera in Catalan, the spoken language of MONTSERRAT. He then made a first attempt recording of himself singing IN HER PITCH all of her operatic parts of the songs he wrote & mailed it to her for her approval!!! Remember, she was ten times more famous than he was so she was final apptoval. In fact, he was thrilled she agreed to sing a song with him, but when she heard and saw the extraordinary talents of Freddie, she asked how many songs are on QUEEN albums, he said "about 10", & so she said to Freddie "ok then ...we'll do 10 too !!
Try to react to a few of those LIVE concerts too, please? THEY WILL BLOW YOUR MIND !!!! He shocked the world singing opera live to , at that time, the greatest opera singer in the world. That's Freddie Mercury....
" !
I was fortunate to see Queen in concert for this tour at the Baltimore Civic Center in August of 1980. Freddie owned the crowd from the moment he stepped on the stage. Definitely one of "those concerts" that I will always remember.
I was born in August of 1980 so I bet it was a great show! ☺ I love Queen so much. ❤
@@chrissywalls5902 It was August 23, 1980 to be exact. I still have my ticket stub. LOL.
*😲AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE STILL REMEMBER QUEEN TODAY!!!🤯*
Can't say it any better than the 235 people before me. However I will say that I love the fact that you two do the studio version before hearing it live, it just makes the live performance so much better.
Keep it up, we're loving it.
Peace
If you really want to be amazed, check out Freddie and Monsterat Caballet singing a duet!! The Golden Boy is my favorite
It's called 'Barcelona'. Fred wrote it for the Barcelona Olympic Games.(1982?)

Queen has been my favorite band in the whole wide world for the past 48 years! You reactions were priceless, especially the smile that it put on Asia's face. Thank you so much for posting!
"Even the drummer can sing. Who's that drummer?" That statement alone tells you just how amazing of a singer Roger Taylor is. Freddie Mercury just gave the performance of his life, quite possibly the best he ever sang, and her first reaction is even the drummer can sing. That's how amazing Roger Taylor is. I am a guitar player. You would think my favorite member would be Brian May, who I do love. It shows you just how unique of a performer you're dealing with when a guitar player's favorite band member is the drummer, and it's because of his voice.
This is my favorite Queen song. Has been since the day it came out. This live version is EVERYTHING!
Even the drummer can sing!❤
Here I go again with G.M., but that was wonderful performance too. Gorge sang this song at the tribute concert for Freddie, while his partner found out he had AIDS too, and was in the crowd that day. George said, “I just wanted to die inside. I was so overwhelmed by singing the songs of this man I had worshipped as a child, who had passed away in the same manner my first living partner was going to experience."
Freddie was a composer, an artist, a Performer, and a Singer beyond Compare!
I was lucky enough to see Queen live (twice) at Madison Square Garden in 1977 and 1979 I believe (may be off on the years). They were the 2 best concerts I’ve EVER been to. Freddie Mercury, in my opinion, had the best rock voice of all time. He had a multi octave voice range, just spectacular, and his showmanship equaled his singing. Brian May on guitar, his style of play was so distinctive, that you always knew it was a Queen song coming on the radio back in the day. Roger Taylor killing it on drums, but was a fantastic singer in his own right. And then John Deacon slapping the bass.
Just an amazing band and an amazing version of Someone to Love.
I was 21, and this was such a good time for concerts. Freddie was a genius and so respected. He was a showman and good at keeping the audience what they came to see.
Asia Dear,- the physical reaction is a phenomenon that us diehard Queen fans feel every time, when we listen to Freddie. He reaches right into your heart and it is his spirit, his voice and his charisma that touches you so deeply. - Thank you for your smiles ☮ Sending love across the pond ❣
I’ve been to 3 Queen concerts in my life and cried every time. Such an emotional rollercoaster !
Best part about this - despite it sounding like / having the energy of a final encore at the close of a show, this was only the 4th song of a 27 song concert. Freddie and Queen are absolute legend.
The fact that Roger can drum AND sing like that at the same time, makes my heart crazy!!!! ❤❤❤
There will NEVER be another Queen and Freddie ♥️
Queen was my first concert ever! Nobody has topped them! Not even RUSH or Prince!
This is my favorite Queen performance of any song. Y’all are going to 🥰
The drummer has amazing voice
Freddie Mercury's voice was perfect! We won't see another like him for a long time. He knew how to work the audience and the audience loved him.
He soaked up the crowd's energy and fed it to his bandmates.
I was at this concert in Montreal. A road trip of 5000 miles return from Alberta to Quebec. Spent my 24 B-day listening to him sing this song and so much more. They were marvelous!
One of my greatest disappointments is not ever having the opportunity to see them live ! while on the subject of Queen you guys need to react to the audience singing Bohemian Rhapsody at a Green Day concert ! THAT will give you goosebumps to
Most of the high harmonies on all their songs were done by Roger Taylor. (the drummer) He had unreal range.
No, it wasn't. The high harmonies were done by Roger and Freddie. Roger actually lost his high falsetto in the 80's. In the 80's all of the highest harmonies were done by Freddie.
@@ZENOBlAmusic Yeah, ok. whatever.
NO YOU'RE WRONG. FREDDIE COULD HIT ANY NOTE! EVEN OPERA NOTES.
@@bretmccleary6307 I am not trying to be condescending, but this is factual information that can be proven. There are a lot of incorrect information doing the rounds. I make videos on vocals, you check it out if you want more proof.
@@ZENOBlAmusic I didnt say Freddie couldnt hit the notes. I said Roger sang many of them.
soo glad you reacted to this the best version ... remember this is LIVE like WTF lol sounds sooooooo goood not just freddie the whole band... this is why queen are sooo loved.
RIP, Queen Elizabeth.
I still get goosebumps even after watching and listening to this version of this song over 100 times. I love you and miss you so much Freddie. Rest in Peace darling, dear man. ❤
You bet this was great to see live.
In fact I saw them, on this tour in Madison Square Garden, in September 1980.
There's another great song, well they're all great, from the album this tour was named after called the Game.
It was the last song on the album, "Save Me".
I highly recommend it.
The drummer is Roger Taylor, check a live version of "I'm in love with my car". He wrote it and sings lead vocals.
The drummer Roger Taylor has always been the secret weapon for Queen. He does his job with unselfish zeal and is not nearly noted for his supporting vocals. But Queen fans know. The one player in a band you not mess with is the drummer. Roger Taylor should get far more credit than he does. But to his credit he doesn't complain about his situation. A true team player. And deservedly the unit of Freddie, John, Roger, and Brian were one of the all time greatest ever assembled. As we watch this performance from 4o years ago, it reminds us that real music is the most authentic way to touch people. Perhaps we would all be better if we could return to that.
My favorite album by Queen was The Game. There are 3 standout songs for me.
DRAGON ATTACK,
SAVE ME,
SAIL AWAY SWEET SISTER. Enjoy.
From the same concert, you guys should check out “I’m in love with my car”; Roger Taylor, the drummer, wrote it and sings lead 👍
I DID see Queen live seven or eight times., and some of their early gigs as well as their big venue concerts. I'm so lucky to be born in an era that made it possible to see some of the GOATS of music.
RIP to Queen Elizabeth who passed today. The band were a big fan of Lizzie.
May she rest in peace...
Queen was the answer to the Sex Pistols Anarchy in the UK.
This song will always remind me of Taylor Hawkins. He was a huge Queen fan and would sing lead on this song when Foo Fighters covered it at their concerts. Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor joined Foo Fighters on stage for this song at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert last weekend with Sam Ryder singing lead. That entire 6 hour concert was amazing, every minute was absolutely perfect, so much great music and an outpouring of love for Taylor and the Foo family.
There's a fantastic live performance I believe at Wembley stadium of under Pressure where Freddie completely commands like 70,000 people. It's insane.
True talent no autotune.
Queen were the Kings of live performances!
He's the greatest entertainer, he always engages with his audience.
Love y'all's Queen reacts. As someone who's been a fan for over 30 years I love watching others experience these songs and performances for the first time. I wish I could do that again.
I was 15 when that song came out. The beautiful thing about Freddie's voice is I get goosebumps still everytime I hear it. Cant imagine my life without Queens music. Thanks ☆☆☆☆☆ Great reactions. (I seen his shoulders go back the first time) than your hair starts ti stand up. haha.
Roger Taylor is an AMAZING singer and he always do the high tenor vocals. He's one of the best drummers in music history. Seeing Freddie sing and perform always makes me emotional knowing even then when I saw him in concert 😭 that he was ill with HIV. IT just gets to me
After the sip of beer and at the end of his intense vocal you will see a tear roll from his left eye and down his cheek. He preformed with such emotion!!
Now watch George Michaels sing this song at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.
Thank you for that great reaction..B.J. Is right on the money!...Freddie always said about his songs that it was up to the people listening to make up their own minds...he wrote this as a tribute to Aretha Franklin whom he really admired...he had hoped that she would sing it one day...I wonder did she know about it?...also the bottle of beer was product placement...the cups had various liquids in them...water..tea..honey..lemon...after all if you sing like Freddie you need them🤩
One of my favorite performances.. love seeing drummer interaction with Freddy.
I love queen live ..but man I love that studio version ..its so old school how recordings were then ..1 microphone..just 1 . No auto tune ..just to see the complete harmony during that shows how much sweat and work went into music albums then . 4 guys ...today you see like 30 people on stage with a thousand theatrics to do a song . It's just PURE with these guys .
I can watch this over and over anytime and it is still fresh, the goosebumps still come. If you want to add another layer, check out the LIVE version at Milton Keynes. It is a wild card performance - the song just rushes out of him to an audience that lifts him up. While not at the same film quality, it is just pure passion.
Yes...two other great singers in Queen...drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May. They often helped out when Freddie's voice was fried or tired or sang lead on other songs. But Freddie was perfection here. The entire Montreal concert is UNREAL. ❤ Freddie's (and my) favourite Queen song.
Asia nailed it midway into the song, a studio doesn't do them justice. In many ways, they were hampered being in a studio. Everything, from their music to their vocals, was geared towards large stadiums; and they were at their best performing Live in front of tens of thousands of people. The music was on point, the vocals were impeccable (and they harmonized so perfectly). Just an incredible group of performers / songwriters who complemented each other perfectly.
Of course Roger Taylor sang, he also sang lead on some songs, as well as Brain May on guitar. They had 3 lead singers. I was fortunate enough to se them twice in the ‘70s. Once on A Day At The Races tour, and also the News Of The World tour. Freddie was a master showman of the highest caliber. When they played live he held everyone in the audience on a string wanting more.
This is what talent looks like distilled to its purest form. I was so lucky to see Queen several times, the first in 1976. I saw them at the University of Maryland cole fieldhouse with Thin Lizzy as the opening band. Awesome times.
Definitely one of the greatest frontmen in rock history period !!
So many Queen songs to respond to. Freddie's incredible stage presence still gives me cold chills...a talent gone way too soon! He put all he had into his performances.
If y'all haven't already done so, you NEED to hear him sing Melancholy Blues!!! O.M.G. 🎤
If you want to see just how well Brian May (guitarist) and Roger Taylor (drummer) can sing, I would recommend listening to No-one But You. Brian wrote it after Freddie's death. The only song they released as a 3 piece, and the last time John Deacon (bassist) appeared. He retired after that.
Roger TalTaylor, the drummer has a great voice.
Nothing like watching Queen live in concert… I feel blessed to have seen Queen as my very first concert to ever go to. Right after A Night at the Opera came out, they quickly became one of my favorite bands.
I got to see them live in the early 80s.
One of the best shows ever!
Saw them as an opening act and saw them as headliners both times were unforgettable
So lucky!! One of my great regrets. Never been to a Queen concert.
That was just 4 men with instruments..🤔
No backing vocals, autotune, pre recorded anything. And that was the 4th song in a 2 hr set.❤🤘
Nice to see youngsters like you appreciate the music and form a honest opinion. I did see them 3 times in the 70s..but I'm a lot older than you youths!!!!
I was so blessed to have been able to see them live 3 times. This is my favorite Queen song!
Her Majesty 🔸👑🔹"OK, Let's do it!"
Had the absolute fortune of seeing Queen three times back then .... nothing in this world like it
All members of Queen are just like Eagles and Beatles. Everyone can sing amazingly.
Please remember it took all of Queen to be Queen. Roger Taylor-Drums and the higher vocals and lyricist on many of their Bangers. Brian May, guitar, background vocals, vocals and lyricists on many more bangers and last but not least John Deacon, bass player (seldom sang) and wrote some of Queens Biggest hits! All talent, nobody was sleeping!!!!!
This is probably my second favorite live performance by queen. My first fav is obviously queen at live aid 1985
Incredible performance by the entire band. Thank you for your reactions.
Our pleasure!
BJ sitting next to his Queen and she HAS found someone to love... 👍 you two are AWESOME
Yes, yes, yes! I love the look on BJ's face when the song started, and he realized that the start of the song sounded familiar. Freddie Mercury is one of a kind when it comes to vocal range. I've watched this video multiple times and i get goosebumps each time. It was fun to watch y'all react to this song, not to mention the live performance. Hope y'all have a great week and sending yall positive vibes.
I did not appreciate just how magnificent Queen & Freddy Mercury were back in the 70s & 80s when I was growing up. It wasn't until my 40s when I really started listening them. Freddy was not just a very talented musician & singer but he was a remarkable entertainer & performer.
Freddie is considered by many as the greatest singer of all time. And he's still underrated.
To be honest, anyone can sound, sing or play good in studio. To me, live is everything, and it's how I judge all musicians and music.
That's how you tell the good bands from the LEGENDS. When live is better than studio. AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd. If you' seen em live, you know...
