Queen & Freddie were a once in a lifetime band. Freddie could sing anything from soft and smooth to rough and gritty. The quintessential performer. This is when Freddie was starting to show the signs of having aids. He gave us everything he could for as long as possible. Never to be equaled.
It was Brian singing towards the middle of the song with Freddie coming in too. Freddie was already sick here and grew the beard to hide the skin lesions on his face from the virus. He also was losing stability in standing and had to stay closer to and hang on to the microphone for most of the song.
This track is off 1989's "The Miracle" and Freddie didn't expect to live long enough to finish it, but he was able to deliver 1990's "Innuendo" and left enough material for the others to finish "Made In Heaven" after his death. Also, Queen has 3 lead vocalists - Roger Taylor handles the high notes, Brian May handles the fat bass bottom end, and Freddie fills out the middle range. With this in mind, their operatic harmonies were created by each of them having to lay down 3 vocal tracks in each other's range plus thier own. That's 9 vocal tracks per vocalist - 27 vocal tracks total - for the mixing engineer to fight with ... 😂
The Miracle was from 1989, they changed their harmonies through the years. In the early years Roger and Freddie did most of the high harmonies. Later on in the 80's Freddie did high harmonies, Roger in the middle and Freddie often did the low harmonies as well. Brian filled in on middle to low depending on the song.
@@ZENOBlAmusic Fixed it. Also, the reason why I elaborated on the Queen harmonies is because way too many people give credit to Freddie when the quintessential Queen sound that's instantly recognizable in every given track comes from Brian May and his bottom end vocals, and his solo albums prove it. Unfortunately, it didn't prove it in raw sales, but nonetheless, those with a very keen ear ... know damn well when it comes to those Queen harmonies, Brian May was the straw that stirred the drink ...
Instantly became one of my favorite Queen songs because the sound was so different from what I was used to hearing from them. Queen is a band you can’t compair anyone too. Freddie was so unique and a creative mastermind when it came to lyrics and his infectious energy. He was one of a kind, there will never be anyone that can compete with the genius that was Freddie Mercury.
Check out Seven Seas of Rhye - Killer Queen from the early Queen days back in the 70's when I first became a lifelong fan. "She keeps her Moet et Chandon In her pretty cabinet, 'Let them eat cake', she says. Just like Marie Antoinette" - You really have to hear it.
Yeah, The Miracle was somewhat of a "comeback" for Queen....their previous 2 albums (Hot Space and The Works) were for the most part, pretty bad, and the band had slipped pretty far in popularity.
@OnafetsEnovap I don't think it did well in the U.S. Gold only....pretty low compared to sales when they were on top. I think their popularity started the downward slide with the Flash Gordon soundtrack and didn't really bounce back until their last 3 albums.
Wow wow wow 🔥 One of my favs darlings. Thankyou! Freddie was very sick here, but his raspy voice I love in this song. So much respect for the g.o.a.t. Freddie and the guys. Kept on going together until the end, amazing. Please more Queen! Much bless and keep the Queen train going ❤️
My God, it's been just over 30 years now and I still miss that guy 😞. Music is subjective, of course, and everyone can have their own opinions, but I think most people would agree that Freddie was about as good as it gets for a singer and charismatic front man. Always loved this song! Brian's guitar sound is SO distinctive and he really shreds in this one!
I used to blast this song when I was 16 after I got my drivers license, cruising downtown... it was a cassette single, it was 1989 when it came out, but I first heard it in 1991, and loved the song ever since....oh the memories!!
During this time Freddie had weight gain due to the meds he was taking for Aids. As for the beard he was attempting to hide lesions on his face. Bless him..
A great early Queen song is "Liar." Lex would certainly love the music, especially the guitar; and Brad would love the words. Just checkin on my favorite Blaucasians. :-D
Great reaction! Queen started off as a hard rock, metal and progressive rock band. People love Queen's heavier sound. Please check out Innuendo, Liar - live at the Rainbow 1974, Princes Of The universe, Hammer To Fall or Ogre Battle - live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Freddie was quite sick here, he grew out his beard to hide the Kaposi Sarcoma scars.
Now you have to do Princes of the Universe. Another one of their most anthemic songs ever. Queen influenced pop culture alot more than you think. So when the kids here me listening to queen and say uh what's that? I say everything you need and turn it up louder. Decibels to heaven for you Mr Mercury 👏👏👏👏👏
This is one of the kids favourites to crank up in the car. I want it all is a timeless song that shows all of the band at their absolute best. If you want my all time favourite Queen song, check out 'The Show Must Go On' 🤘🤘🤘🤘 P.s the other singer was Guitarist Brian May
@@Andyleobl Took my daughter 2 years to convince me to get Netflix and watch it. Damn glad I did. Just recently hit me that Robby's mom Shannon was on Two and a Half Men as well. And she's 🔥🔥🔥
Did you know the whammy bar was Brian’s Mom’s knitting needle? The Red Special (his guitar) he & his Dad made from things around the house. I really wish you would check out White Queen at Odeon Hammersmith, it absolutely is a WOW performance.
@@stijnrovers6139 news to me. I am/was a queen fan and both myself and every queen fan I knew at the time appreciated May's guitar excellence. It was spectacularly displayed on their very first album.
The beard was to cover the sarcoma that was on Freddie's face from his illness. Freddie was pretty sick by this time and Brian never really intended for this to be a Queen song but Freddie was begging for songs to sing so this is one on the ones Brian gave him. Freddie of course killed it, the man was a legend to the end and beyond. The beer splashing off the drum head is one of my favorite things in this video. Freddie was having difficulty walking already at this point which is why he wasn't moving around as much as usual Thank you for a fun reaction.
Sadly this was around Mercury's final years here on Earth. Was dying from A.I.D.S. He was medicated and physically weaker. Voice, energy and appearance had started to change by the late '80s. But still sang well. Fought til the end. Passed away in the early 90s, late fall or winter.. RIP 🙏 very sad when he passed. Everyone at my school was uneasy, sad and scared. AIDS was ( and still is) very scary back then. Queen was a good band and had good music.
Not to mentioned the stigma, kids borned after 90s dont know people actually GET KILLED BY BURNED ALIVE just because suspected having aids! It is THAT BAD!
Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor were both lead singers on their own solo projects as well as being members of Queen. To hear their chops from Queen’s catalogue, check out ‘39 (Brian) and “I’m in love with my car” (Roger). It’s part of what makes that “Queen sound” so special.
So this is from 1989, quite late in Queen's career. 80s era Queen is my favourite period for the band, but as others have said, Freddie was quite ill at this point. I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that he grew the beard to hide lesions on his face (but don't quote me on that). The other guy singing in the breakdown is the guitarist Brian May, it sort of flits back and forth between him and Freddie, really seemlessly. I don't know why they chose to do that there, but it works. Btw, has anybody ever mentioned how Brian May built his iconic guitar, using wood from a fireplace, some motorcycle parts and a knitting needle?
I made mixed cassettes and then mixed cds for my friends all my life. Lex I love how much you get into songs. That’s how I imagine everyone listening to my tapes react the first time. Brad you’re like how I want them how to react after listening the 5th time and really analyzing it. Btw I don’t think my friends reacted either way. Except in my head. Haha
This was just a couple years before he passed. The Miracle album came out in 1989(great album). And ya'll should know by now that Queen songs often never sound anything like other Queen songs lol. One of a kind band.
Actually, the 1986 album “A Kind Of Magic” was basically the Soundtrack to Highlander. It was still considered a full fledged Queen album though. This was off “The Miracle” from 1989.
From their beginnings Queen ran a gamut of styles. From Glam Rock early on to hard-core rock to ballads to prog to psychedelic. Some times all on the same album.
Another good reaction, and fun. Freddie was so sick that he wrote a swan song for this album, "Is it all worth it?" (at the end of the song you'll have the answer), Roger (drums) and Deacon (bass) thought that maybe it was the best song on the album. But it seems that Mercury wanted to save the song in case he died before creating more music. That song has maybe the best Freddie Mercury vocal intro fused (I think) with a guitar sound. A great great hard rock song.
Guitarist Brian May sings lead on the bridge while Freddie is providing backing vocals. Hammer To Fall, Headlong, Scandal, The Invisible Man, The Miracle, and Princes of the Universe are other great mid/late 80s Queen songs
Queen have got to be one of the most diverse music groups there is, that so many of their songs can be quite different from each other, covering different styles of music that sometimes if it wasn't for the name, you wouldn't even think it was Queen singing it lol.
Please watch Queen - One Vision(extended) video. Great song, amazing video with a lot of behind the scenes stuff. Lots of horseplay etc. Fun to see the guys just letting loose. And the song rocks.
The other vocalist was Brian May, The guitarist. he has a very good voice. he sings a few queen songs as lead vocalist, including '39 from night at the Opera the same song that has Bohemian Rhapsody.
Would love to see you react to, "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" by Queen. this song always makes me emotional. At the end Freddie gives fans and loved ones a final farewell, by looking straight at the camera as the song ends. Freddie whispers "I still love you", which are his last words on camera.
the one queen track that is almost the opposite to this these are the days of our lives, so emotional and in my opinion. one of the best songs queen ever recorded
Towards Freddie's 'end of life,' this video/song is Queen going back to their roots in a hard rock genre where, I believe, Queen music is at its fundamental best! Yes, they progressed in multi-genres showing their outreach in many different genres (always in a 'Queen style'), but their root in hard rock is how they launched such a successful career. 'Any way you want it, that's the way you need it' (Journey lyrics), but Queen delivers 🙂FOREVER!!!
Freddie was ill when they made this song. You can tell as the microphone is firmly in the stand, where usually he carries it with half a stand. They wanted to get back to more of a rock sound with this. If you want to see different, try some of their other later songs like Breakthru, The Invisible Man or I'm Going Slightly Mad.
His illness was not the reason for how they made the video. I'm aure he was in pain but he was very much beibg able to move and walk still at that point. If you look at Headlobg video, he was in much worse condition and he's still moving(with the micstick) like he usually did.
One of my favorite Queen songs ❤ If one didn't know he was sick here you wouldn't be able to tell, like you guys. As others have said , the beard was because he had started gettibg marks on his face. His face is a little rounder from the medicine he took too. I think he looks great though ❤👌🏻
Allegedly Freddie was hiding dark spots ie sarcoma's on his face with the beard growth which can be a symptom associated with AIDS. Song was written by guitarist Brian May when then girlfriend and now wife Anita said... that's what I want, I want it all and I want it now after seeing Queen in concert at Wembley.
Brian wrote this song after hearing his girlfriend, at the time, join him at a concert. She loved the limelight and made a statement, something like "I want all of this"
INTERESTING INFO: THE LEAD SINGER FREDDIE MERCURY WAS BORN AND RAISED IN AFRICA, IN ZANZIBAR. HIS REAL NAME WAS FARROKH BULSARA. He sadly died of AIDS at the age of 45. Wikipedia.
Brian May was singing on the bridge with Freddie. Brian and drummer Roger Taylor sing lead on several songs in the Queen catalog. Freddie sings lead on just about all of the singles though.
That's Brian May the guitarist singing on the break down with Freddie. Brian wrote this one, he wrote a good few of their songs. And he's a decent singer himself.
I was just listening to this yesterday. I actually own the 45 of this. Great choice. If you want a great song from this record..listen to breakthru. It's amazing.
This is my favourite Brian May song and I think the pefect song for Brian to write for Freddie to show his genius in the later times of the band before he was too sick to really let it rip like this.
It's probably the most rocking queen song. we are even on hard rock on the border with metal. at the time, Queen was already considered an old band that had become a bit commercial in view of the 70s and filled the stadiums. Mercury, ill, lets the other members of the group compose more without trying to distort their work. it is the greatest success of the album the miracle, an album which moves away from what Queen did best.

Freddie was really sick here, but he never lost his voice.
it's heartbreaking to see how puffy his face is, and to know despite his pain, he just wanted to make music.

We were all going to die from AIDS 30 plus years before we were all going top die from Covid.......
I agree...ilove this song
The miracle is one of my favorite CDs from them.
Queen & Freddie were a once in a lifetime band. Freddie could sing anything from soft and smooth to rough and gritty. The quintessential performer. This is when Freddie was starting to show the signs of having aids. He gave us everything he could for as long as possible. Never to be equaled.
AMEN to that!!!!❤️ He's Sorely Missed!! 😢😢😢
So true, he lived for the music as long as he could and he gave everything for the music as long as he could.
Queen was a four-piece band with four composers. This song is written - as one can expect - by the guitarist, Brian May.
And all of them had number 1 records all over the planet. What a group!
That's y i call him Brian "the brain" May.
It was Brian singing towards the middle of the song with Freddie coming in too.
Freddie was already sick here and grew the beard to hide the skin lesions on his face from the virus. He also was losing stability in standing and had to stay closer to and hang on to the microphone for most of the song.
Queen played every genre of music back then and excelled at all of them. From metal to country to disco to opera and back again
They could do anything. Never boring!
They were mostly a rock n roll band. Did experiment a lot yeah. But live. Mostly rock.
@@adriantrusca1245 their genre is glam rock

So talented, so rock, so creative, so energetic, so heavy... so QUEEN !!
This song came out when metal was in full swing. Queen can do anything it wants.
Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen is a Hauntingly beautiful song
Also Days of Our Lives is another beautiful song by them, and Show Must Go On.
Freddie's beard was to hide the signs of his illness 😪 Kaposi sarcoma. He still had so much energy though!!

You're covering my entire 70s childhood between all of the Queen, Styx, and Rush videos and I just can't get enough.
I seen them in 1982. Joe Louis Arena. Best show ever. 36 bucks with a return 5 hour bus ride
One of the few bands that could do it all. Every member was a songwriter, composer, and could be the lead singer in any band other than Queen.

I was such a big fan of this song in 89. Bought the album which nobody cared about at all in the states where I was on vacation
He wrote this song on his knees
Also, "White Queen," and "March Of The Black Queen." Both from their second album.

Any audiophiles out there, use the song " my baby does me" from this album, as a stereo tester. The guitar is silky smooth.
I love it....Queen for ever
Like a crisp white shirt, Queen never goes out of style.
freddie was sick here yet he still pushes through with passion and energy together with everyone and the band, one of my favourite queen songs
I've met guitarist Brian May several times. he is the coolest dude in real life, super friendly.
This song gives super energy

Brian May was singing on the bridge with Freddie. Brian and drummer Roger Taylor sing lead on several songs in the Queen catalog. Freddie sings lead on just about all of the singles though.
One of my favourite songs
That's Brian May the guitarist singing on the break down with Freddie. Brian wrote this one, he wrote a good few of their songs. And he's a decent singer himself.
Hammer to fall is a good classic rock queen track
nada igual solo el mejor indiscutible gracias Fredi por tu música gracias
Great song. I remember seeing the video when it first came out and I was surprised at how sick and gaunt he looked. So sad.
I was just listening to this yesterday. I actually own the 45 of this. Great choice. If you want a great song from this record..listen to breakthru. It's amazing.
At the time it was made, this video held the record for the number of Super Trooper spotlights, used on a single stage.
My favorite Queen song!
This is my favourite Brian May song and I think the pefect song for Brian to write for Freddie to show his genius in the later times of the band before he was too sick to really let it rip like this.
Freddie was sick here and Steroids made him bloated. He used a stationery mic which helped him stand. No matter the problem, he was always great.
It's probably the most rocking queen song. we are even on hard rock on the border with metal. at the time, Queen was already considered an old band that had become a bit commercial in view of the 70s and filled the stadiums. Mercury, ill, lets the other members of the group compose more without trying to distort their work. it is the greatest success of the album the miracle, an album which moves away from what Queen did best.
Poor Freddie grew the beard to hide the effects of AIDS 😢
