Queen was THE band, all 4 were highly talented and amongst the top ever in their specialty: Mercury lead vocals and piano, May guitar, Taylor, drums, and Deacon bass guitar. All 4 of them wrote top hit songs.
Their live performances were een better than the studio recordings. At Live Aid, a charity concert in 1985 viewed by over a billion people, with almost all the greatest bands at the time participating, Queen stomped the lot, with Freddie Mercury actually, against doktor advice, singing with a sore throat.
Mercury/Queen could basically walk up the stage and have the audience sing the whole concert on their own if they wanted to .... that was the engergy they brought.
The very high notes are actually sung by the drummer (Roger Taylor) and are some of the highest recorded notes, going into the top range of very high skilled female opera singers.
One thing that might be good to know: the Queen official channel does not block (most of) its vids for reactions.
You are in for a ride 🙂
They managed even to convert someone only listening to classical music (me) :-)
That's is amazing! Did not know a drummer could sing like that 😳 we are excited to listen to more! Thanks for watching 😊
@@ACoupleReactions yes, in live performanes he sometimes did wonderful harmonics with Mercury (e.g. Somebody to love, live, Montreal 1981)
@@annadalassena5460YESS PERFECT
DO NOT COMPARE KANYE WEST TO THE BEST BAND THAT EVER EXISTED!!!!!!!
QUEEN....LEGENDS!!!!
Lol that's what I was thinking 😂
They need to listen to Kanye West trying to sing this, that was funny.
K W murdered Bohemian Rhapsody and to top it off he didn't even know the lyrics.
That’s like trying to compare Aluminum to Platinum. They don’t even need to be mentioned in the same sentence
Was that the quickest 6 minutes you ever listened to
The only difference between Queen and Kanye West is, Queen have talent!
Check out these italian words: "Parole sante!"

Comparing Kanye with Queen is like comparing Little league with MLB .
40 years from now, people will still be listening to Queen. Kanye will be long forgotten.
Freddie Mercury - Quite possibly the greatest male vocalist on the 20th century
No correlation between Kanye West and Queen except that many, many, many, many singers/bands should thank Queen for paving the way. The reality is that Queen is in a class of its own. No one compares to them.
Only 300 Queen songs to go!!!woo hoo!!🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧🎹
Lol one at a time! 😅 thanks for watching! 😊
Brian May is an Astrophysicist, they all had college degrees. Talent and skill. The 70s. Best decade for music!
And not a PENIS IN HAND!
Brian May is a Phd in Astrophisics. Roger Taylor is a MD, he is a dentist.
These are not your typical 70s "all drunk and drug" rockstars, these are really, really smart people.
They were told not to release it as a single because it's nearly 6 minutes long, but It went straight to number 1 for 9 weeks. It was rereleased after Freddie died & went straight back to number 1 again for 5 weeks. Queen's most famous song, it's the UK's 3rd best selling single of all time & sold 6 million copies worldwide. It reached number 2 in the USA after it featured in Waynes World in 1992. I can't believe there are people in the world who still haven't heard this epic song! Glad you both enjoyed it.
That's insane! Glad they did 😊
Queen, Live Montreal 1981, Somebody To Love
It's the best song of all time!!!
Queen!! The best band ever!!
Freddie Mercury!! The best frontman/ lead singer/ EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing vocals!!!
Calm down
you need headphones. Great band and great reaction. Love Queen! Please more Queen and also Led Zeppelin-you will love the 70's
We are hooked up to a pretty dope sound system. Thanks for watching! :)
You have every band in the world, then theres QUEEN. Greatest of all time!!!
He is the best vocalist ever!!!
This Man....FREDDIE MERCURY WAS A GENIUS
Love seeing new people discover the best best band that has ever graced a stage. All 4 members are master musicians. All are college educated. Brian May, lead guitarist, is also a doctor of astrophysics, as well as having been dubbed "Sir" Dr.Brian May. He and his father constructed the red special, his first guitar,made from scraps of metal and wood when Brian was in his teens. Roger Taylor's drumming abilities are off the chart. John Deacon, the bass guitarist and electronics wizard, devised an amp system that others now try to achieve. And then....there's Freddie Mercury. 4 octave range, a killer vibrato ability, astounding stage presence, power and charisma and a God given ability to use his voice in stunning ways.
There's a ton of stuff to learn about Queen, from their amazing harmonics to their vast catalogue of superior music to their very wide range of the genres you'll find in their music.
Watch a few videos. Begin with the 1981 Montreal Concert when they do "Somebody to Love" and 1985 set at Live Aid. There are fascinating backstories and superior music waiting for you when you slip into the Queen rabbit hole. Enjoy the journey!!
Thank you so much! I feel everyone has a new piece of information for us to be in awe of! Did not know we would get so much support from the community 🥰 who knew an astrophysicist could a lead guitarist! Thanks for watching 😊
Early 1970's was the zenith of rock music. I am now 71 years old, and I still have ticket stubs from concerts of MAJOR bands and the price was between six and eight dollars. Remember going to an NFL stadium and taking in a quarter keg of beer with a wash tub and bags of ice, no problem. Wonderful times.
Ever heard 'We Will Rock You' or 'We Are The Champions'? That's Queen. Also 'Another One Bites The Dust'.
Try 'Liar - Live at the Rainbow 1974', and 'Somebody To Love - Live at Montreal 1981'. Different styles/music, Queen is famous for having covered multiple genres and also for being an incredible live rock band. Loads and loads of great songs to discover.
We do have alot more to discover. Thanks for sharing!
The vocalist is Freddie Mercury on the piano. He wrote and composed this song it’s considered his masterpiece. The guitarist is Brian May, bass player is John Deacon, drummer is Roger Taylor. Just to clarify, the mother didn’t kill a man, he’s telling his mother he killed a man and he knows he’s going to have to pay the price for it. That’s why he says life had just begun but now I’ve gone and thrown it all way. Didn’t mean to make you cry. If I’m not back again tomorrow carry on as if nothing ever happened. Any way I think you’ve heard Queen’s music. Some their songs are We Are the Champions, We will Rock You and Another One Bites the Dust.
Actually some believe and it has been talked about by Freddie that he is singing about himself when he says....."momma I just killed a man" in reference to him coming out as gay, he is leaving his old lifestyle behind
This was massive when first released, back in 1975, I was 16 at the time. We all watched the video when it first aired on 'Top of the Pops' which was the UK's weekly tv show dedicated to all the new hits. Great reaction!!
Earphones will increase your enjoyment of the music.
A classic masterpiece by an iconic band. Queen has great songs and live they are total fire. You will enjoy your Queen journey, I am sure.
We enjoyed this performance! Thanks for watching
This was the first music video.
This band thrilled the world for 20 years until Freddie the kead singer died of aids. He had a wide range vocal. This band has to be seen live (on video) many of their concerts are on RUclips. Always download froy queens official channel theu hardly ever get blocked. See if you can pick one
Now im here 1986 wembley july or)and Liar the rainbow 1974. Wach them rock thousands . Ive subed and liked. Welcome to the Queenie's,have a fun journey xx
Thanks so much for that insight! Had no idea! Appreciate the like and subscribe 🙏🏽 we look forward to doing more 😊
Great song with so much variety!
You will have heard some of there songs we will rock you & we are the champions best group ever
"Bohemian Rhapsody" has almost 3 _BILLION_ streams on Spotify and has almost 2 _BILLION_ views on RUclips. Now you have been added to the masses who LOVE this song!
Not to mention the song was 30years old when RUclips started
I love it when younger people appreciate a classic! Freddie was a great performer watch live aid it’s great!
Thank you for watching and your support 🙏🏽
He is saying "Mamma I just killed a man". He is telling his mother what he's done.
Ooooooohhhh. See I did not notice that 😳 thanks for watching! 😊
Queen had loads of hits and you would have heard some of them. Try their "Live Aid" performance or "Somebody to Love" in Montreal. I saw them in 86 at Wembley Stadium in London, "Under pressure" from that concert is great too. Keep the reactions coming!
Say less! We will have to get some of these going! Thanks for watching!
Considered by many the greatest song of all time. I'm sure you have heard parts of it before you just didn't realize it. Listen to it more and you will hear more and more of the genius that is this song.
Freddie wasn't saying mama killed a man. It was "Mama, I just killed a man". The Queen rabbit hole is deep, but if you jump right in, Queen fans will follow you down with the road map to some of the best music you've ever heard. There's a lot of us, so your channel will explode too. I HIGHLY recommend "Somebody To Love" and "Save Me" in their 1981 Montreal concert, and "White Queen" live at the Hammersmith Odeon in 75. It **must** be that performance. It'll break your brain. So buckle up, hands and feet inside the ride at all times!
"WE WILL ROCK YOU "
"WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS "
"ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST "
ALL SONGS BY QUEEN.
EVERYONE KNOWS THESE SONGS!!!!
Lol had no idea! Definitely would love to listen soon! 🤩
@@ACoupleReactions Yeah pls do😍 would love to see it
Freddie Mercury!
Welcome to the Queen rabbit hole, you have so much more to find. Enjoy finding Queen songs there are many.
If you keep listening to Queen, you'll discover you've already heard some of their songs and not realized it. Especially if you're sports fans.
My favourite song by Queen is "Don't Stop Me Now", a song with an overwhelming momentum.
Now watch Live Aid, a set of about 23 minutes and you will know who Queen were and that you have already heard of them and their songs! Charity concert at Wembley Stadium UK twinned with a concert in Philadelphia USA. You won't regret it in the slightest. Queen 👑 walked away victorious! They stole the show! Freddie had the audience in one hand and the microphone in the other hand!
We had no idea the impact they had! Thanks for sharing :)
Welcome to the party! You are among many who have discovered the rabbit hole that is Queen’s library. Keep going!
This came out 1975.
Yes 75 but had it in his head for a long time
look at their 1985 live aid permformance .mind blowing
This song/music video was released in 1975. The clothes and hair are glam rock style.
I wish I grew up in that Era! Seemed like simpler times. Thanks for watching 😎
The best home made electric guitar in the world
This was literally one of the first "music videos". For promotion. WAY ahead of their time.
Anyone that wants to increase their channel simply needs to go through queens catalogue, they are the most worshipped band in the world, Freddie Mercury with the greatest range in music and backed up by the recently voted greatest Guitarist of all time Brian May and Taylor on drums with Deacon on Bass, Queen is the band that everyone would want to see one more time with Freddie if they could, and their 1985 Band Aid performance was voted the greatest live performance of all time.
I love this reaction 🤘🏼nothing more satisfying than watching someone discover something that will make the smile forever 🌀
It's a whole different experience through head phones !😁
You need to see more Queen get Live aid and somebody to love live pure brilliance
Welcome to 70's music, the greatest time to be alive music wise. I know because I grew up during that time. Once you start listening to music from the 60's, 70's and early 80's you will understand why people say today's music sucks. You will also notice how many parts of songs rappers and hip hoppers either borrowed or stole from music from my that time. There will never be a time of great bands and music like this again. Good luck on the channel. Peace!
Queen is an amazing band!
Nearly 50 years since this song, with video recorded at a cost of about $5000 - forever changed the music industry. MTV took off as a result. Still talked about, still watched, still influencing. Four different songwriters but a sound distinctly QUEEN. Sampled by others but in a class all their own.
Awesome reaction! It is so wonderful when young people discover, and appreciate the unique art of great music from the past. Queen is literally, agreed by all who know music, to be one of the best rock bands ever to exist. Your journey down the Queen path cannot be complete without Bohemian Rhapsody. In fact, your journey into great MUSIC of the past cannot be complete without Bohemian Rhapsody!
Bohemian Rhapsody, was released in 1975 on the album "A Night at the Opera" which gives a hint as to the musical genre. Freddie Mercury (lead singer and pianist) was a huge fan of opera so this song was written as an operatic suite consisting of five distinct parts: an acapella intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock section, and a reflective coda. Generally it is classified as rock-and-roll, but specifically as a "rock opera" and "progressive rock." Truth is, labeling any Queen song, or Queen the band, is next to impossible!
"Bohemian" describes an unconventional, artistic style with freedom and individuality as key elements. "Rhapsody" in musical composition refers to a single work comprised of episodic, diverse pieces arranged into a free-flowing structure designed to heighten emotions. This song came to be because Freddie had pieces of songs he never completed, so he put them together, each section totally different yet masterfully blended into a truly epic masterpiece. It is the band's magnum opus, and is unanimously considered one of the best songs ever written.
As for the meaning of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", Freddie was purposefully vague. As with most of the greatest songs, the lyrics are written to be poetic and mysterious. Are they literal or figurative? As separate pieces initially, should the song have a singular meaning? Who knows! The meaning is open to interpretation for each listener to decide, based on how the music and lyrics touched them. You will read comments claiming the song's meaning, but the fact is, the entire band has never stating a specific meaning and has been firm that there isn't one, or if Freddie DID have a specific interpretation, he never shared it. Any assertion of the meaning pertaining to Freddie's sexuality are speculative and because certain groups WANT that to be the meaning.
One of my all time favorite songs. I never get tired of listening to it. Thank you. If you are looking for a mood elevating Queen song, do Don't Stop Me Now but do the studio version because the live are usually just part of the song.
I throughly enjoyed watching your reaction and please, please play more Queen! This is the band that influenced many of the greatest, that's why you hear a bit of Kanye West. Do you know where "Vanilla Ice" got that bass riff from? Check out " Under Pressure " by Queen and David Bowie. Queen has the ability to fill your playlist and then some. 👑💙🌈
We are indeed new fans of Queen! Thanks for watching :)
@@ACoupleReactions With pleasure, seriously! 🫶
As someone who was in high school in the early ‘70’s, I have to say that Queen is decidedly NOT a “hippie band.” If such things exist, maybe that would apply to bands who did folk music or blue brass. But simply the presence of long hair and 70’s-type clothing does not turn them into hippies! Anyway, thanks for doing this Queen reaction. BEST BAND EVER!
You'll recognize we will rock you
I'm too old.😊❤
Queen has been around for a long time!!
Nonsense 😊 thanks for watching!
You are teetering on the edge of a very deep and convoluted rabbit hole. Once you enter, there will be no escape.
Great reaction! I’m so glad you watched this!
Thanks for watching 😊
Legends
They were rock royalty. Freddie mercury was a phenomenal vocalist
Pretty amazing. Many argue it’s the greatest rock song ever written.
Brian May (rock guitar genius and astrophysicist) playing a guitar he built himself with his dad, through an amplifier designed and built by John Deacon, the bass player (and electronics engineer).
The BEST band EVER...
I joined the band I'm in; because of the electricity, the magnetic and kinetic energy. Because I picked up the chords (so fast), my mentor joked around saying "Martin, are you a cyborg?"
70's was full of anthemic songs,
You discovered Queen the greatest band ever, suggest you start with the beginning and watch the official videos first then live videos. The greatest band in the world.
This was the first video to be released to promote a song ever . The band were on tour in Japan i believe and could not promote the song or appear on any shows so they came up with the idea to make a video and it was so successful all the other bands followed suit giving rise to all the music channels of the 80s and 90s
THAT WAS ART! Well said young man... Sadly you won't get that caliber of talent by any stretch of the imagintion today...
There is a bit of trickery going on at the beginning, all of the voices heard are Freddie Mercury, he just over dubbed himself several times, the others just played along.
Bohemian Rhapsody was written, in 1975, by the late Freddie Mercury (lead vocals and pianist), the falsetto (high pitched) vocals was provided by Roger Taylor (vocals and drums), the bass player John Deacon (in the white suit), the guitar solos is by Brian May PhD (guitar and vocals, playing a guitar he and his father made out of stuff they had laying about at home, including an old fireplace.) And no Autotune anywhere in sight.
This video was made for Pop of the Tops program as the band was leaving on tour. At the time it cost $4 to $5000 to produce. Great reaction. Their live performances are as great or better than the studio versions. This was a time with NO auto tune and no ear pieces so all band members watched Freddie for cues. Somebody to Love Montreal and of course LiveAid is a must. Also as stated before it is a rabbit hole that will bring in Queen fans
Next must be Somebody to love live in Montreal 1981!!!! 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Better late than never!❤❤❤❤
Somebody to love,live in Montreal.
Freddie Mercury aspired to be an opera singer. Before he died he got a chance to sing with a famous female opera singer. No one had a voice with his range.
Take the pause button away from HIM! LOL. GREAT REACTION.
You think you don't know Queen, but you do...dive into their catalog.
To get the best you need headphones to get the side to side special effects. Classic song!
Your American & u not heard a Queen song. Have u ever been to a live sporting event WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS / WE WILL ROCK YOU are played at most of them.
Nice see that youngster like good music like us old folks lol.
They got ya. The headbob when it cut from opera to rock y'all did was inevitable
you’ve heard Queen before. You just don’t know yet. Everyone has heard “We Are The Champions”. Queen were the masters at anthems.
Hammer to fall!
Yes! More Queen!
That is the phenom Freddie Mercury...look him up!
You need to listen to the 1971 song "American Pie" by Don McLean. The words have real meaning to music fans. Creedence Clearwater Revival also had great hits. So many from that time that you just can't have one genre of music.
Oooo definitely looking this up! Thanks for watching and we can't wait to explore further 😊
Another one Bites the Dust Live!!
Don’t stop me now is voted one of the happiest songs. Check out the movie Bohemian Rhapsody for sure.
Suggestion: Somebody to Love Live Montreal 1981
Don't Stop Me Now - Official Video
If you really want your mind blown like Bohemian Rhapsody, give The March of the Black Queen a shot ;)
Queen at Live Aid 1985 - considered the greatest 20 min set in rock history.
Listen to it with headphones on to hear it differenty.
Solamente hay una voz que puede interpretar esta canción. Fredy mercury. Queen😮
Queen, Queen and more Queen..DO IT!!❤
It's Freddy's Opera! Gotta love it! ❤️
Meat loaf and Queen.... Rock opera legends. Both got a lot of airplay in my house growing up. Also heard a lot of country music greats too. Charlie Rich, Charlie Pride, Merle Hagard, Vern Gosdin. Never had 1 genre that was more prevelent. Kinda well rounded ....
This was such a good reaction! You two are great together. Watch the movie with the same name as the song. You will fall in love with Freddy. ❤️
First song to hit no1 for entire summer 1975 ( only 3 months in UK🤣)
UK unofficial national anthem, massive crowds sing this verbatim 👍 HYDE Park Green Day 2017🤩)
"We are the champions", "We will rock you", etc...Kanye West 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Watch the Live Aid performance in 1986.
If Freddie Mercury were still alive today he would be 77 years of age, I was born one week after him in 1946. He was extremely talented. It is thought the man he killed in the song was his previous self when he came out of the closet and informed his mother he was gay.
Got to be one of the best songs ever. Queen have hit after hit after hit and Freddie Mercury is a legend
Definitely learning that now 🤩 thanks for watching 😊
Try these are the days of our lives
