This song by Queen was literally a wakeup call to me. What a fantastic band 🎉
Their debut album is brilliant pure rock music !! Their 2nd album is utterly amazing that will blow your mind. These were the 1st 2 albums I got by Queen. .... On Queen 2 From track "Ogre Battle the rest of the album needs to be played till the end....Then again I would suggest the entire album be played that way ... but definitely from that track ! It really is a masterpiece. Jim X
Queen's radio hits are not indicative of their best stuff. This song is a great example. Queen's debut album is amazing. A lot of great songs like these 3: "Liar", "Great King Rat" and my personal favorite "Modern Times Rock & Roll". 2 minutes of hard, fast rock & roll. I think you'd love it.🤘
They were a wake up call to me too after I watched a reaction on RUclips last year
Yes, more Queen please! Live at Wembley is amazing
Queen Live at the Rainbow 74 is great
Early Queen were amazing.....a truly great rock band. Sheer Heart Attack is an absolute banger and NO synthesisers were used. Great choice🤟👏👏👏👏
THNX Marcelo & Nick. Other than Queen, I haven't heard any of these. I enjoyed them all especially 'Thank You Scientist' and 'Sungazer'. WoW! I'll be checking out more of them for sure. 😎👍🍁
Great reaction! Another 'gallopy' track by Queen is 'Great King Rat' 🐀👑 You'd love it ! 🔥😊
Hi Nick, i'm Marcelo.
Thanks for reacting to my suggestions.
And yes, the singer of Thank You Scientist is similar to the singer of Coheed & Cambria. Also the singer of Aviary greatly influenced the singer of The Darkness, those falsettos 😁.
✌️
Thanks for the info! This was a very cool marathon!!! Hope you enjoyed!!
Superb song selections Marcelo🎉thank you.
I'm younger than you Nick and like you i've always been familiar with Queen's more famous works. After getting into vinyl, i got a lot of Queen records and Sheer Heart Attack is my favorite Queen album. It's right before their big break and just so raw... And you're absolutely right about the influence it had on metal bands
Hi Nick, you hit the nail on the head ... with best of's ...The hit records in the singles charts. ... Album tracks is another entity entirely !!! Especially with Queen ! Ooo Nick you have no idea what you will discover. I envy you. Queen 1 & II are seriously going to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. I hope we get to witness some of it.... I'm still listening to this marathon ... I don't know the other artists. ... By the way ... Have you ever seen the movie "Brighton Rock" [ 1948 ] starring Richard Attenborough ? At school it was one of the books we had to read in English Literature. Byee Jim X
First time hearing Brighton Rock ..... 1975 , on the ferry from Brindisi to Corfu. Just add a little hash and WOW !
QUEEN had a laser focus from their VERY FIRST ALBUM and never disappointed with EVERY album !!!!
Give a listen to
‘Doing All Right’ !!!
Wow its great that you've discovered early Queen, or should I say...REAL Queen haha. Hopefully you'll start a trend because for some reason 90% of Queen reactions are live 80s stuff, I just cant wrap my head around this when their first 5-6 albums are incredible!
Definitely doing more early Queen. Both of us are not interested in the 80's stuff or any best of.
@@NicknLex Go for the Tenement Funster/Flick Of The Wrist/Lily Of The Valley!
@@NicknLex Seven Seas of Rhye!
@@torture10 Even "Dream Theater" covered that suite, and did a damn good job at it too. But when a few bands covered Queen, there is something about the _original_ that stands alone when it comes to Queen, it stands the test of time.
Brian May wrote Brighton Rock and he loves guitar and metal which explains the song.
That was quite a mix of bands Marcelo, thanks so much. It's always good to hear newer music, most of which I have never come across before. I found Aviary and Leprous the easiest tracks to get into, and I enjoyed them greatly. I'm currently trying to make Nick proud by getting into Pat Metheny, and Sungazer gave me a feel similar to Pat's Imaginary Day album. I struggled with Thank You Scientist, just a little to clinical for my taste.
Sheer Heart Attack has always been my favourite Queen album, and I'm so pleased Nick has finally heard Brian May's masterclass 'Brighton Rock'. There could almost be a link with each set of vocals on this marathon, with Roger Taylor's high falsetto featured so much here. Nick, on every Queen album there are deep cuts that most other bands would die to have written. Remember 'Prophet's Song' when you did A Night At The Opera on Patreon? Just think, a band that can produce music like this, but also the only band ever to have a No.1 single written by each of the four band members. An incredible band!
I've been several times on Leprous live shows, goosebumps every time :)
I was fortunate enough to see Queen during their peak (1979)
They Really Rocked in Concert
You are spot on re the “Hits”. Doesn’t do them justice
The deep tracks (like this one) are really where it’s at
Give yourself a treat and listen to the Live Killers version of this song. An extended guitar solo and a much heavier version of this
Also, listen to the fast version of We Will Rock You from the same album. A much heavier almost punk version of that worn out hit
The same album (Sheer Heart Attack) has a wonderful trifecta medley (Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/ Lily of the Valley). Probably shows them off best during that era.
Dream theatre actually did a cover of that medley
Might even be worth a reaction 🤔
Keep diggin. Lots of gems in the 70s. THE era of creative music
Dig deep and you find these gems
Enjoy the RUclips hang!
Yet another great set of music. Of course I knew the first two tracks, and the last track, while good, was a little too by the numbers for the genre inmho. Thank You Scientist was awesome as was the accidental track by Sungazer. Well done Nick lmao…..I love when that happens, sometimes life randomly rewards us when we are looking for something else. I used to have that happen when rifling through stacks of records looking for something and would find something else by chance that looked interesting and turned out to be great.
You should add Now I'm here to your Queen list...
Aviary reminds me a little of early Styx (pre-Grand Illusion)...
Thank You Scientist areso talented, that it's hard to understand the song for the first time. An example: The solo is a guitar and a violin together! Another cool song is FXMLDR, the live performance is beautiful!!
Are you aware Brian and his father built that guitar from homemade scraps? Fireplace wood, buttons, needles.
He’s using a delay effect here which he is obsessed with. Freddie used it on his vocals on Prophets Song also written by Brian.
If you wanna listen to the Real Queen as it began listen to Queen I and Queen II songs it’ll blow you away with the differences of their 1st 2 albums to the rest of their catalogue . I discovered them on RUclips last year and were blown away my suggestions would be from
Queen 1
Keep yourself alive
doing alright
Liar
The night comes down
From Queen II
Father to son
Some day
Ogre Battle
March of the black Queen/funny how love is (as there’s no gap between the tracks and should be played together
So please patrons suggest these for me
So how’s that for a stater oh and happy 4th to y’all
Oh and don’t forget great king rat
Checkout 'Doin' allright' from the first album: Brian May speed metal ;-)
Que hermoso Queen. Gracias amigo eres un strong💪
Funny; Progressive Archives came-up first for me as well for "Aviary", who I never heard, but seen a couple of their albums. I was hoping they had a Wiki-page (because wiki is pretty good at being comprehensive with various bands). I was impressed as well, so I'll be looking into them for sure.
I REALLY need to get into "Thank You Scientists", that track was awesome, and yes, sounds like Coheed & Cambria's vocalist. But I love their aggressive but Jazz/Fusion sound too! (See German band; "Panzerballet" who I think are more "Math Metal", more technical . . . with Sax!). But maybe they get more technical on other tracks, but that was really unique and I'll be listening to more.
Btw - You have reacted to Caligula's Horse, and surprisingly you thought they were too "Heavy", but I bet if you heard the track again, you'd like it even more after all you have heard from MUCH heavier bands. I'm glad you reacted to that track back then, I totally loved it, even though I had heard many tracks from various albums, that track stood out and I added it to a Prog Metal Playlist ("Graves", which you and Lexi reacted to).
Sungazer . . . VERY interesting, says they are "NU Jazz" or Electro Jazz. I'd just call them Progressive Jazz. A very unique sound, but there are probably a few bands that are going in this direction (yeah, I can hear the "Plini" sound).
So Leprous has had quite a history, and were a different "style" for their 1st 4 albums (and Heavier), but then became "something else", Prog Metal . . . but almost something un-catorizable. The vocalist/keyboardist "Einar Solberg" has that super unique voice that sets them apart. They can be complex/technical, but be very abstract and atmospheric. Ironic I just added a track from the same album "Malina" on a new Prog Metal Playlist as well, and you have reacted to them on this Marathon: ruclips.net/video/mKYTFdlMFU8/видео.html
I agree though, many bands were inspired by Opeth, but you need to hear their _style_ of Death Metal (later to be called "Progressive Death Metal").
Queen . . .
Many of us have told you they had a VERY "Progressive" past and. I haven't heard "Brighton Rock" for a long time, but I KNEW that Brian May solo was coming, and how unique it was especially for that time. They, like Kansas, are MUCH more than their Hit Singles. We need to get you and Lexi into the Queen rabbit-hole.
Yes! Lets Expand those "Musical Horizons" for more people to discover something new!
- Thank you Marcelo, and getting N&L into new (and older) music like this! \m/
Brighton. Tourist city is south England.
Marcelo, great Marathon, I wasn't a big fan of the Sungazer song, but the others were amazing!
The sungazer song was a mistake and wasn't supposed.to be in this marathon. I recorded a separate video with the song he wanted. Song called: don't look down by Threshold
@@NicknLex oh, that’s the song, right, I saw that video yesterday, it did fit more with the other songs…
But you discovered a new band that you liked by mistake, so it wasn’t lost!
If you think Brighton Rock is great off the album, you've gotta check it out off Live Killers. Freaking Amazing!!
Shear Heart Attack rocks! My favorite Queen album.
start with ‘Maps of Non-Existent Places’ for TYS. they’re phenomenal 🤘🏻🔥🍻
Thanks Marcelo and Nick. I sent a couple Thank You Scientist CDs early on. And included just a short Beatles-sounding track of theirs (Prologue) in a marathon with Steely Dan. There’s not a lot of space between notes with them. Lol. 🤪 I like their sense of humor.
ruclips.net/video/74RcTwyaugA/видео.html
Great marathon and reaction. Fun. 😽❤️🔥
I REALLY enjoyed Thank You Scientists! Nice addition to their collection M&M :D.
@@mvunit3 You got a shoutout. Very fitting. 👏🏼 And I’ll “never have that recipe again.” 🤭❤️🔥
*sigh*! Always those Greatest Hits fans who think they "heard a lot of Queen"... 😂😁
With Queen the more interesting songs are very often the deep cuts.
For example as a prog fan you would love their Queen II album. 😀
Thank You Scientist is awesome they are as good as Queen, but underrated because of pop today 😢😢
Anyone who likes Thank You Scientist, but is also into progressive metal (complete with clean and guttural vocals), give Sound Struggle a listen.
Early Queen. All. Day. Long. You’ll hear different opinions about the demarcation point for Early Queen, some will cut it off after Sheer Heart Attack, others will go as far as Jazz. In my opinion, if you’ve got the first 5 albums (through A Day At The Races), you’ve got the essentials. But I wouldn’t get mad if you snuck in News Of The World…😏
TYS - Terraformer : if TYS was 2 live crew then this would be as prog as we wanna be. They don't have the verbal profanity, but musical profanity?
In their first three album before they went mainstream…..believe it or not Queen could rock with the best of them….before they went into their…Bohemian Rhapsody, Fat Bottom Girls and I Want To Ride My Bicycle commercial stage in their career
Hi again, Aviary reminds me of a cross between "The Darkness" with Justin Hawkins on vocals and "Sparks" with Russell Mael on vocals. [ sorry got distracted pausing then getting something to eat ... still listening. Lol ] ........ Update edit - Future Jazz Prog ... sorry, not for me....Leprous track .. Pretty good. Jim X
Early Queen was one of the best bands ever. I am not a big fan of the pop stuff that people know. Listen to the 1st two albums. You will be amazed.
I think you've done two Leprous songs now, but neither are what I'd suggest for introductions to the band. They're so unique and hard to categorize.
Thank You Scientist was hard for me to get into too, because I was fully into metal at the time and thought things like the horns made it sound too "quirky". But I got over that feeling, their songs are just too creative.
Do yourself a favor and go listening Aviary albuns. I only know 2 albuns and still don't understand why they are unknown...
