    They had so many mega hit songs over the years. Many such as "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You" are still sung today by huge crowds at sports events around the world!

    Freddie has always & will always be the best ever to me. The thing is, most people who have listened to him... and all of Queen truthfully... agree he's one of the best. If not THE best. Even other singers! Garth Brooks, a Country music legend, saw Queen and Freddie when they toured in the early 80s in the USA. Brooks said Freddie was so charismatic. Garth also runs all over the stage, wants people to sing along, wants people to interact. He said witnessing Freddie Mercury performing like he did, he was going to do exactly what Freddie did. And he has. Garth is a country music legend because Freddie Mercury inspired him to be legendary!

The most incredible part is they made that song without a ton of the equipment voice stuff today. They recorded over n over again their own music to get the musical affects. They were ahead of their time in music. ❤

    I suggest Liar from the rainbow London 74. Its from their first album and each member has a solo do you can see the talent. This album made me a fan all those years ago and that hasn't changed.

    Don't know if you'll see this Queen request since I'm a little late to the party; but:
    White Queen - Live at Hammersmith Odeon, 1975, and
    You Take My Breath Away - Live at Hyde Park, 1976
    are both spectacular performances - the first featuring an incredible guitar/ piano duet section, the second just Freddie alone at the piano, shushing a rowdy crowd with his confession of obsessive love... Both are absolutely magical in their own way, and having watched a few of your reactions now, I think you'd love them.

    When this was released at the tail end of 1975, Freddie's friend DJ Kenney Everett said it was the greatest song ever recorded.He proceeded to play it every other record on his radio show.

    • @jaakkomantyjarvi7515
      @jaakkomantyjarvi7515 Месяц назад

      The version I read about was that Kenny Everett was specifically forbidden to play the song because of its length, so he played it by putting it on after every other record "by accident" in 15-second bits and apologising profusely for the "mistake" every time -- until he'd played through the whole thing.

    Thank you for appreciating one of the greatest rock songs of all time from one of the most amazing bands of all time. I remember seeing this for the first time as a young child in the '70s. At the time, this was the most amazing music video (called ' film clips' back then). There had never been anything like it before.
    If you like complex, well-written music, that goes in a variety of different directions, played by incredible musicians and with a 'supernatural' vocalist (6' 1" Dutch Valkyrie Goddess - Floor Jansen), try listening to 'Ghost Love Score' from the Finnish symphonic metal band 'Nightwish' (they sing in English). The band is older than you (late '90s), but I think the song was first released in 2004, although I'm sure it existed long before that, so it qualifies as being before you were born.
    The best version is the live (always) performance from the 2013, Wacken festival in Germany. Make sure you search for 'correct speed'. The original Blu-Ray version of the concert was recorded at a slower speed, so some videos on-line are slow. This is the usual 'gateway-drug' to the Nightwish rabbit-hole. Be prepared. Once you react to a Nightwish song, you will probably be invaded by the the Nightwish army (fans) led by their ever-so-polite and informative 'herald', Gabriel Bardac, with a massive info dump.

    Welcome to the Queen rabbit hole. Your channel will grow. Queen’s live performances are almost always better than studio and usually different. They will vary from concert to concert as well. Here are some suggestions. Somebody to Love and Save Me live at Montreal 1981. Also from the same concert Keep Yourself Alive and Dragon Attack. Now I’m Here, Love of My Life and Under Pressure live at Wembley 1986. Who Wants to Live Forever official video. White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975.

    Best versions for both in my opinion are the official lyric videos.
    For me these two songs have a lot of art and complexity inside... :-)

    (It is minus Freddie Mercury’s five-part a capella harmonies at the beginning, but otherwise I actually PREFER - as with everything - seeing Freddie perform this live because his vocals are even BETTER than in-studio!)
    To hear it live, you should see it at MONTREAL in 1981
    Freddie ‘s songwriting was GENIUS.
    He also wrote and recorded an album of OPERA with Spanish operatic soprano Montserrat Caballé (her nickname is Montsey); the album and title track are titled Barcelona.
    (Freddie & Montserrat were actually the FIRST professional musicians from two different music genres, to ever collaborate on a cross-genre album together. Pavarotti initially called their collaboration “The dumbing down of opera”. But then when the album was so well-received… Pavarotti was soon doing his own “Pavarotti and Friends” project!)😉

    For your off-line listening pleasure, there’s a great vid of this song floating around the InterWebs.
    Bands routinely play songs from other bands before their concerts begin. Sometimes it’s to get the crowd pumped up, other times it’s just to kill the time before their show begins. Either way, there were tens of thousands in the crowd at a Green Day concert when this song started playing. INSTANTLY, the entire crowd started singing along, and gave a TRIUMPHANT performance of this song.
    You know you’ve made it, when the entire crowd at another band’s show starts singing your song, because EVERYBODY knows the lyrics, and it’s a Great Song!

    Everything about this song was INCREDIBLE! And Freddie Mercury (Farouq Balthazar) was THE Best vocalist of our time. It took me a long time to get onboard with Queen - it's kind of embarrassing. Awesome band - probably the best of our time!
