I became a fan of queen songs because of Hap3Speakz lately. I am certainly happy to enjoy his journey together and support :) 😍 Yes!!!! Thank you for your efforts and sharing your genuine reactions always.
I do think most use Patreon. Like Adina said...I haven’t supported anyone on Patreon but will have to set it up now , since I really enjoy your reactions HAP 💜 ⭐️💜. The other channel that I enjoy and support has made her own website to do what Patreon probably does. She didn’t want to be part of Patreon. Not sure why.
I have a question for you HAP. There are still a lot of Queen songs to hear...but are you open to hearing some other classic rock bands (or other genres) later on? I know of some great classic rock songs that you’ve probably not heard. I know a lot of viewers enjoy bringing an incredible song to a reactor (a song you probably haven’t heard); and seeing how you like it. Hopefully that makes sense ⭐️💜⭐️
Phoebe Rich Hi Phoebe, nice to see Hap has more sincere supporters! I am sure he pretty much knows what’s he doing! This river will soon become an ocean and I don’t know how long will I be able to watch him busting his a off to feed everybody’s appetite for a way to make some income. Hope he has other sources too.

When you listen again, you’ll hear Roger shout out Freddie’s name, and later Freddie calls out John, then Brian and then Roger. I noticed that you didn’t hear him call out Brian & Roger this time around😊. Also, George Michael was a friend of Freddie’s and he sang the heck out of Someone To Love in the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert after Freddie’s death❤️
Queen were very much both of their time and ahead of their time. They definitely pioneered sounds and techniques and incorporated current trends. They always had their fingers on the pulse of the industry. All 4 had very different preferences in style and influence, but somehow they were always able to turn those differences in to a cohesive, unique sound. Geniuses!! As always, WONDERFUL reaction!! You bring as smile to my face everyday and provide something positive to look forward to (something lacking in most of daily life everywhere recently 😥) .
Roger claims that he got the inspiration to create the song while reading a book, and the bassline instantly came to his imagination. The song title was inspired by the H. G. Wells novel The invisible man.
What most people also miss about Queen. Is just how interchangeable their voices are on their album work. Roger wrote this song. If you listen carefully. Throughout the song Roger sings the tag line ( I'm the invisible man ) The same is true for Brian, concerning the opening of The Prophet Song. ( ooh ooh people of the earth ) That whole first section, until Fred starts telling the story. Is Brian. Which then leads into their layered harmonies. All the albums are like that. People expect to hear Fred. So, that's all they do hear.
Too true, then they are surprised to find that Roger and Brian are great singers in their own right. Their vocals are such an important part of the Queen sound. The harmonies are always so great with three fantastic singers contributing.
Fun fact: The song was released in August 1989 and shortly before Roger Taylor celebrated his 40th birthday. Freddie turned up with those shades he wears in the video and scared the other guests all evening. That was Freddie, already living on borrowed time but still the prankster and always up for any shenanigans right until the end. Great reaction to the video, that was fun!
@@HAP3SPEAKZ Yes, I meant that his birthday was shortly before they released the song and made the video. Roger's birthday is on 26th July and the song was released on 7th August.
Roger called out Freddie Mercury at the beginning. Then Freddie says John Deacon, the only one you picked up on. Brian May, Brian May (who wouldn’t want multiple Brian Mays in their bedroom?).....then Roger saying “Look at me, look at me” and dropping his drumsticks. Then Freddie introduces RRRRROGER Taylor! I love this video. Deacy’s bass drives a lot of their songs. You haven’t done Under Pressure live at Wembley yet, it’s one of his most iconic riffs! And I love his bass in Action This Day, but again I prefer the live version over the studio one. Live at The Bowl 1982. And I’m still hoping for Crazy Little Thing live in Japan. You’ll love it
Thanks for the reaction! I really like this video for the song.... it is so much fun! all talents showcased again, but the BASS was the driving factor for me.
Some prople considered Queen to be the fathers of promotional video. They put a great deal to make videos. Never forget Freddie's words : don't let me (or my music) become boring.
I think it sounds similar to Ghostbusters 😄 Not my fav from them but it's a fun song and I love the video. Since we are in this era now, react to Breakthru 👍🏻
This was from the album “the miracle” which was due to be called “the invisible men” but was changed shortly before it was released. Probably this was going to be the first single after a 3 year break so perhaps why the bands names were entered into the lyrics....
HAP3SPEAKZ A kind of Magic was 1986, the miracle 1989, in between Freddie did his solo project with Montserrat Caballe and Great Pretender single & has his AIDS diagnosis, Queen basically did nothing release wise during that time, the miracle album was recorded during 1988-early 89
They were definitely ahead of their time. It’s amazing how many “firsts” this band did. They sure knew how to have that “catch” in their songs. They just pull you right in!
I Want It All and The Invisible Man is from the same album called The Miracle from 1989 (the second to last record with Freddie). I recommend also the song Breakthru form that album (NOT the video clip because I am very curious what image you´ll have in your head when you listen to it). Was It All Worth It is probably the best song from that record and is a perfect transition into the last chapter of Queens history with Freddie but dont rush yourself into that.
OMG! My favorite beside „Breakthrough“ Unfortunately I also have to watch this tonight when I get home. The kid shooting them with his joystick, lasers coming out of the guitars! Hilarious and legendary!
Not my favourite song, but it's okay. You should react to Cool Cat or Mustapha, both songs are completely different from what you've already heard. I'm sure you'll be surprised. Also, Freddie's work with Montserrat Caballé will blow up your mind. In my opinion, if he had trained as an opera singer, he would have become greater than Pavarotti. She thought his voice was exquisite.
I don't know, maybe because it's not my favourite kind of music. And Queen has so many songs and plays in so many styles that I guess we can't love all the songs equally, haha.
A good fun track........Rogers shouts out Freddies name at the start, all the band members got a shout...............Queen I believe moved with the times.............Check out "The Miracle" Fella, the kids are brilliant.
Like another viewer commented....I heard a beat at times that sounded like ghostbusters 😂😂😂. This was such a cool video!! Queen always seemed to change with the times so seamlessly!! Loved your reaction HAP.
Nice reaction! This song is very retro, and you are right the baseline is basically the main thing that stands out here. Personally I think this song is slightly cheesy, which probably fits the era, but it is something I personally find with some of Roger's songs. But this retro sound is actually somewhat popular these days again, with artist such as Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga or Sia. You have a good memory to remember that I Want It All and this song is from the same album, this is from 1989. This was actually quite a strange time in music, no one really knew where the 90's was heading. But Queen did use the sounds or trends around them, and they used it in their own style, again that is a good observation. Queen had good instincts about upcoming trends. You will understand it even better if you listen to some material from Hot Space, especially Back Chat, that was actually released before Michael Jackson released Thriller. They created the first Thrash Metal song 10 years before Metallica became popular. Actually, I Want It All, fits perfectly into that equation. As I said the period between 1988 - 1991 was very strange musically. People were bored of Disco and New Wave, people were also starting to become jaded about Hair Metal, Rap was starting to make an appearance. No one really knew or understood what was coming next. But bands such as Guns & Roses and Metallica were becoming more popular. There was a harder edge appearing in rock music, and people were starting to regard some of the Hair Metal bands such as Motley Crew, Wasp and Poison as somewhat of a joke. You can see how Queen was picking up on this from around 1986, the A Kind Of Magic album they started to gain a heavier sound with songs such as, Princes Of The Universe and Gimme The Prize. You you can see how something like I Want it All, from 1989, can fit in better with Guns & Roses, Judas Priest and even Metallica. There are other heavier songs on the Miracle album as well, such as Was It All Worth, this song really goes back to their harder prog rock style. Their 1991 album Innuendo was an even harder rock album, the album really goes back to their experimental prog rock style of the 70's, but with an updated feeling. Queen never completely changed, but they did listen to the music around them. The Innuendo album and song shot straight to number upon it's release. They were actually on exactly the right track again for the 90's. In 1991 Nirvana released Nevermind, and grunge took over the world. Of course Queen were not doing grunge, but they moved their sound into a harder, edgier and more serious sound, that would have worked for the grunge era. Other prog rock bands such Radiohead also became popular during this time. This is one of those regrets that Queen fans don't know how they would handled the 90's, because they were on exactly the right track for the 90's. Other classic rock groups such as Aerosmith for example, regained popularity during the 90's. Queen never lost popularity like Aerosmith, but they could likely have done very well in that era as well. Queen is part of only two artists in history who have manged to remain in the top 10 popularity, through sales, in two different eras. They were the 4th best selling artist of the 70's and the 5th best selling artist of the 80's. The only other artist who remained as popular for two decades is Elvis in the 50's and 60's. chartmasters.org/2020/01/queen-albums-and-songs-sales/
This is the only song where ALL four of their names are shouted out. Roger shouts our "Freddie Mercury" at the beginning of the song and then Freddie shouts out 1st, "John Deacon", then "Brian May, Brian May", and finally, "R-r-r-r-r-oger Taylor".
Need to do Flash, Princes of the Universe, The Miracle, I Want it all, Breakthrough, Headlong, Who Wants to Live Forever all official videos there great pieces of work. 💜🔥
Once again, great honest reaction! From this same album, which at the time was thought to be probably the last while Freddie was still alive, is a song which was intended to be his "swan song", summing up his career: Was it All Worth It. I'd like to hear your reaction to that.
Great reaction as always! Sometime you should check out Scandal. It's from the same time period and is super underrated. One of my favorite Queen tracks (although admittedly I love 'em all).
One of my biggest regrets when listening to Queen is that I’m deaf in one ear (due to nerve damage) so I can never get that stereo effect. Just glad it’s not both!😊 Anyway, not one of their heavier ones but very of the time. As it says in one song “our music changes through the years” - was it Radio GaGa?
Tytyty💖💖💖 for this reaction. Not one of my favorite tracks, but the video is really cool, and of its time (Nintendo NES, Sega, etc. ) Can u react to The Miracle song and Was It All Worth It, both from this album. tyvm 💖💕👑💖💕👑💖💕👑💖💕👑
My heartfelt thought is Freddie left this 'message' song for the kids in his life that he loved and felt their love for him. It's also for his band brothers, calling out their names, letting them , his best friends, always know he's there even when NOT --- only invisible. Yep, for sure, it's the brilliant Freddie Mercury sharing his thoughts for all the good it might do in the days and years to come. Quite lovely.
@@amepl9763 Thanks, BUT, my intense appreciation of Freddie still leads me to think he fed ideas to the final product that leaves the message I sense. (I'm smilin' thru tears)...
How cool would it be to sense something is going on , then you notice as the kid stands up , Freddie's ghost us actually helping him stand up , I just noticed that .😂
I know this was 2 years ago but I hope you'll see this comment. Brian May thought the lasers shooting out of his guitar were really cool and always wanted to do something like that onstage. He finally realized it on tour last summer 2022. Not lasers, but he shot a firecracker out the end of his guitar. Not the Red Special, of course. Wouldn't want to take any chances!
Serious question here HAP. Do you have a different stuffed animal on the shelf behind you for each video? I’ve seen several different ones. I love them. 😁😁
Listen to "Under Pressure" from Montreal. I have the dvd and listening to Roger and Brian, it was the first time they had played it on stage, during their description.
You are in the late '80s with this one when Freddie's time was short. I wish you would stay with the 70s to mid-80s for the time being until you know them better. Your decision.
Hap, do Rammstein “Du hast” they have a huge fanbase! Disturbed “The sound of silence” is also very popular! I know you have to prioritise from patreon from now on but it was just a suggestion. I will join patreon to give you my support but I won’t be requesting songs since it breaks my heart seeing you have to work so hard.

Yes that why its quite catchy. lol the harmonies as you said, are brilliant.

Probably one of the most beloved videos that Queen ever made was, "The Miricle". I highly recommend it! Great, interesting reaction as always!
Yes Lolli, but I kind of cheated with this song. I should have done it a little later as I progress further down this Queen path.

In due time! Please do continue enjoy my other content too. Many fantastic artists to be discovered. 👍🏽👑

No matter what they do they are brilliant ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Like they said, 'Our music changes through the years'.
This is the only song where ALL four of their names are shouted out. Roger shouts our "Freddie Mercury" at the beginning of the song and then Freddie shouts out 1st, "John Deacon", then "Brian May, Brian May", and finally, "R-r-r-r-r-oger Taylor".
I heard the, but John`s one so clear and was not hidden behind the sounds of instruments. I heard Brian's for sure, but did`nt want to pause it. LOL
Ahhhh 1st reaction and I miss the one time all names are called out. Darn it.

Need to do Flash, Princes of the Universe, The Miracle, I Want it all, Breakthrough, Headlong, Who Wants to Live Forever all official videos there great pieces of work. 💜🔥
Some of what you have stated will be reacted to in due course :) 💜

Love John's cowboyy hat

Once again, great honest reaction! From this same album, which at the time was thought to be probably the last while Freddie was still alive, is a song which was intended to be his "swan song", summing up his career: Was it All Worth It. I'd like to hear your reaction to that.
Appreciate that. I think you have may have unsubscribed from my channel by mistake Betsey. Check again. :)
Thanks for that Betsey. Nice compliment. I think "was it all worth it" might get done later down this Queen path I am on.

@@HAP3SPEAKZ no, still subscribed.
Great reaction as always! Sometime you should check out Scandal. It's from the same time period and is super underrated. One of my favorite Queen tracks (although admittedly I love 'em all).
Hey Sawyer, hope you`re well. Been a while but I`m going to have to do some previous requested stuff for now. Check out my channel for other content if there anything else of interest.

This is New Wave music of the early 80s and they did it great
One of my biggest regrets when listening to Queen is that I’m deaf in one ear (due to nerve damage) so I can never get that stereo effect. Just glad it’s not both!😊 Anyway, not one of their heavier ones but very of the time. As it says in one song “our music changes through the years” - was it Radio GaGa?
"How music changes through the years" that is a line from Radio Ga Ga. Think of the sound as if it were echoing in that one ear then reentering it. That kind of effect is what I am referring to.👑

Scandal is another good track off the Miracle album🎼🎼🎼
It's a SCAAAANDAL!! LOL.
OK Indie. Thank you 💜🙂 I got that archived into the catalog.

@@HAP3SPEAKZ literally was for Freddie & Brian
Tytyty💖💖💖 for this reaction. Not one of my favorite tracks, but the video is really cool, and of its time (Nintendo NES, Sega, etc. ) Can u react to The Miracle song and Was It All Worth It,
both from this album. tyvm
💖💕👑💖💕👑💖💕👑💖💕👑
My heartfelt thought is Freddie left this 'message' song for the kids in his life that he loved and felt their love for him. It's also for his band brothers, calling out their names, letting them , his best friends, always know he's there even when NOT --- only invisible. Yep, for sure, it's the brilliant Freddie Mercury sharing his thoughts for all the good it might do in the days and years to come. Quite lovely.
This is a Roger Taylor song
Thank you for clarifying amepl.

@@amepl9763 Thanks, BUT, my intense appreciation of Freddie still leads me to think he fed ideas to the final product that leaves the message I sense. (I'm smilin' thru tears)...
There is another version of the video, all done as silhouettes with a red background ruclips.net/video/aC1bYB5yhAg/видео.html
Gotta do "Show must go on" Brian May could hardly get through it. It was when they first realized Fredddie was dying. It is beautiful and sad.
Please react to “Was it all Worth it” from The Miracle Album
I got that archived. Thank you. 👑

Everything means something if you listen like Hap 👍
How cool would it be to sense something is going on , then you notice as the kid stands up , Freddie's ghost us actually helping him stand up , I just noticed that .😂
I know this was 2 years ago but I hope you'll see this comment. Brian May thought the lasers shooting out of his guitar were really cool and always wanted to do something like that onstage. He finally realized it on tour last summer 2022. Not lasers, but he shot a firecracker out the end of his guitar. Not the Red Special, of course. Wouldn't want to take any chances!
Those clips were also in the video of the show must go on
Serious question here HAP. Do you have a different stuffed animal on the shelf behind you for each video? I’ve seen several different ones. I love them. 😁😁
You`re so funny! lol. Yeah I can switch it up from time to time. Thanks for noticing.

The young lass in this is Daniella Westbrook
I have a vague memory from way back then, when this was new, that I read/heard that the boy is John's son. Cannot back it up.
Queens moto was, "change with or before the times".
Oh please react to the Miracle
Well I got that archived. Can't promise when though. If you haven't, please do make sure you hit that subscribe button. 👑

HAP3SPEAKZ I absolutely have. Been watching your Queen journey from the start.
Johns hat falls off and the kid puts it on and becomes a character in the Queen game , he is " Pong " in the end .👍
This is one of tracks done while Freddie’s Health was deteriorating. Freddie could only work for short periods of time
I see. Thank you for sharing this. 👑

Shouts all their names Brian called out Freddie Mercury at the beginning
Listen to "Under Pressure" from Montreal. I have the dvd and listening to Roger and Brian, it was the first time they had played it on stage, during their description.
that bass is dirty :)
PLease React to Breakthru, it’s one of the best videos and one of the best baselines as well
One of the best videos. That's intriguing. Thanks for the suggestion. I got it archived. 👑
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Definitely, love Breakthru.
You are in the late '80s with this one when Freddie's time was short. I wish you would stay with the 70s to mid-80s for the time being until you know them better. Your decision.
Hi Jayne as I said, somebody in my house was hitting play on this video. So I had to get this done, so they may continue to enjoy the song without me running out the room or asking them to change the song. I understand what you mean, and rest assured I am back in the time machine :)

React to “Staying Power” from the Hot Space album
John deacon👍
I think u mean kept up with the times !
Or maybe the times kept up with them? 🙂👑

And that lol
You're roght, they adapted and grew as musicians over the years. Unlike bands like Boston who just kept repeating the same song over and over.
We can learn from them. I am! 100%

Hap, do Rammstein “Du hast” they have a huge fanbase! Disturbed “The sound of silence” is also very popular! I know you have to prioritise from patreon from now on but it was just a suggestion. I will join patreon to give you my support but I won’t be requesting songs since it breaks my heart seeing you have to work so hard.
the remastered version is better in my opinion
Ok .... I will have to do this one next time.
