That wasn’t even rehearsed because Axl never turned up for rehearsal. And that made John Deacon even more anxious than he already was. Elton helped calm him down before the show.
Apparently Elton tried to see Axl before they went on and his security wouldn’t let him into his dressing room saying he was sleeping. He was kicking off saying “I’m fucking Elton John!” First time he sees Axl is when he comes flying onto the stage
In the last few years, not one has gone by without me watching this performance. The way Axel whirls onto the stage like a tornado and sings with his unique, incomparable voice blows me away every time. And with Elton such a nice contrast and fits together very well. So many good performances from many artists!
Axl was a completely unpredictable and unreliable guy at the time and had locked himself in his dressing room. It didn't open and when Elton John was already singing, no one knew if he was even performing. The relief was huge when he suddenly danced and sang across the stage like a dervish. The fact that he shook hands with Elton John was also a surprise that no one expected.
I love your reaction, I hope that one day everything that separates us will disappear and we will love and respect each other, Love QUEEN, good vibes for everyone
Axl ever said that Freddie was his inspiration and idol, that turn more better this tribute to Freddie! Thanks dear for your magnificent reaction, I'm still crying eith you... I love Queen and Freddie with all my heart! No one is like Freddie, like Queen.... Thanks dears, love you ❤
😭 so emotional 💙 There are so many beautiful performances in this concert. I have watched the whole show several times over the years and it always gets to my heart. George Michael did a great job with Somebody to Love. David Bowie and Annie Lennox do a great job with Under Pressure as well. ❤❤❤❤
I don't know if you already know this but I'll say it anyway. Elton and Freddie had a very special (friendship) relationship. Freddie and Elton each had favorite artists that they loved their paintings. Freddie loved looking through auction catalogs. So even on his death bed Freddie was thinking of his friends. The Christmas after Freddie passed Elton had a knock on his door with a delivery. It was something wrapped in a pillowcase. There was a lovely hand written note from Freddie and inside the case was a painting from Elton's favorite artist. Elton tells this touching story in an interview I saw online. Elton says he still has that painting on a stand in his bedroom.
Queen is the greatest band of all time, no doubt about it, we never saw a tribute show like this before freddie's death and we haven't seen another after, and for roughly 90% of singers that took part in this tribute this was their biggest show ever (and most were really big names)
Been watching you guys for a while now, thank you for sharing this video...I love Queen. I never seen this video before I just love it! I've seen this whole concert so many times it's the greatest...I'm in my 60's and I can't believe I've never seen this one before! I look forward to watching you guys, you are the nicest and most sincere people. Have a nice day.
At that time Axl Rose was temperamental and unpredictable & nobody knew if he was going to sing the last part of Bohemian Rhapsody but I think he did it out of respect as Queen were a major influence on him. If you're not aware of the slight awkwardness Axl shows when singing the last few lines with Elton, it's due to Axl making homophobic remarks some time before the concert happened as this was due to Axl being sexually abused as a child & admitted that he was homophobic as a result. I managed to see Axl live with Guns N Roses a year after this concert and he gave everything into his performance as when he was on it, he was on it.
We feel you pain .. Freddie was such a legend and queen are …. The same concert George Michael sang somebody to love you must react to that it beautiful … thanks for this reaction ❤
Thank you this made me emotional because I was at that concert as part of security and was in the pit in front of the stage, took me right back to being there.
I'm absolutely loving your reactions guys! Crying with you all the way! If you love Axel so much I would appreciate if you delved into chinese democracy album ! Some of the best songs you will ever hear! I think you two would show some respect to this forgotten album! Axel's best vocal
They need to see the live performance of We Will Rock You from-the Same show with Axl Rose and Queen. Axl was the person who did the speach for Elton John going in to the R&R Haul OF FAME.
Thanks for sharing your thoughs, feelings and words at the end of the video ... *amen Lucky me was at this concert! It was stunning epic! And as I was still young back then and I didn't knew most of these great musicians. It was the first time I heard (of) Metallica, Guns'n'Roses, etc. But be sure: As soon I was back home in Germany, I went to the record store and bought a lot of new vinyls and discovered a lot of "new" music, from those classic bands I've never heard before! :)
I was there, paid £75 for a ticket which was half a weeks wages. Best atmosphere I've ever experienced. I like your reactions especially to Pink Floyd.👍
Axl and Elton performing together at that time was unheard of. Axl had to have a lot of respect for Elton John as well (rightfully so). His image made it surprising!
@MerchantOfAlba . You should react to the full concert it's 2hrs 33mins long , but you can maybe split it into 5x30mins episodes . Queen & Axl singing " We will rock you " is good .
I know you 2 wonderful people love floor jansen aswell ; she was asked in an interview who she would want to do a duet with the most, if possible. She didnt even blink : "Freddie Mercury"
how can someone say they were obsessed with Gns N´Roses back then and not knowing about this?? it was ALL over the place news everywhere even in Denmark where i´m from
I'm so late , but I just wanted to tell how deeply i felt your tears and sorrow. It just so unfair and tragic that so many young people had to suffer and die of Aids because the government ignored the "gay cancer " (as the politicians in charge called it) for such a long time. Heartbreaking!! Thanl you for your beautiful reaction :)
Oh my goodness .. I get emotional, too. Queen is Axl Rose’s favorite band!! This was The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert!! You should check out Metallica’s James Hetfield perform with Queen STONE COLD CRAZY, a song that Metallica covered earning them a Grammy! Same concert!
At the time, Axl Rose was being unfairly painted as homophobic. He wasn't homophobic, even if he was unpredictable and unreliable. Seeing him and Elton John share the stage, shake hands and put their arms round each other ended the homophobic narrative. Axl has also said he loved Queen, and got his "carrying half a microphone stand" act from Freddie
Wembley Stadium guys. It’s the home of the England international football team. It’s 80,000. Wembley ARENA is an indoor music venue down the road, 10,000 capacity. Much smaller. This was the tribute concert to Freddy. Musicians came from across the world to perform their own versions of Queen songs. Every gigantic rock star in the world turned up for Robert Plant to David Bowie. Metallica to Deff Leppard. In my opinion the best concert ever. Better than 80s Live Aid.
That wasn’t even rehearsed because Axl never turned up for rehearsal. And that made John Deacon even more anxious than he already was. Elton helped calm him down before the show.

The moment Axl entered that stage, Rock history was made.
You should now watch November Rain the live version with Elton John at the MTV awards iirc.
In the last few years, not one has gone by without me watching this performance.

His security wouldn’t even let Elton into the dressing room. He was apparently shouting about backstage saying “I’m fucking Elton John!”
It is OK to cry...that is how true art should move you
the most beautiful reaction I've seen to this song.
I love your reaction, I hope that one day everything that separates us will disappear and we will love and respect each other, Love QUEEN, good vibes for everyone

How bout Roger Daltrey doing I want it All!!!!!
@@thomassanchez-oo6sb He was great ❤️
Axl Rose esta la energía que tiene , que la trapasa al publico y Jon fantastico ❤️❤️❤️
The band Extreme performance was so good. 12 minutes or so of kick ass tribute. I think from same show.
Senti a emoção de Axl Elton John e de vcs, isto foi demais de arrepiar !!! 👏👏👏
The first time I saw this, it was electric…and still is!

Elton looked surprised hearing the crowd singing with him. I often wondered if he improvised what he originally intended because of the crowd.
At that time Axl Rose was temperamental and unpredictable & nobody knew if he was going to sing the last part of Bohemian Rhapsody but I think he did it out of respect as Queen were a major influence on him. If you're not aware of the slight awkwardness Axl shows when singing the last few lines with Elton, it's due to Axl making homophobic remarks some time before the concert happened as this was due to Axl being sexually abused as a child & admitted that he was homophobic as a result.

Emocionante denais esta representação.

I'm so late , but I just wanted to tell how deeply i felt your tears and sorrow.

Freddie would have loved the Diva in Axle 🤘🤘
Freddie❤😢

TuffCookies > love it
From same concert check out I Want It All🔥🔥🔥🔥
I recommend you to watch the george michael performance of this concert "somebody to love"-
Listen to freddies last song he ever recorded in may 1991: 'mother love' brian had to sing the 3rd verse
Saara Aalto and Adam Lambert team up for Bohemian Rhapsody. Final The X Factor UK 1016 Saara Aalto from Finland.
At the time, Axl Rose was being unfairly painted as homophobic. He wasn't homophobic, even if he was unpredictable and unreliable. Seeing him and Elton John share the stage, shake hands and put their arms round each other ended the homophobic narrative.
Axl has also said he loved Queen, and got his "carrying half a microphone stand" act from Freddie
Please react to Freddie🥰
You have to do react the show must go on by Elton John from the same conncert.
