Freddie had a degree in Art and Graphic Design. Brian has a PhD in Astrophysics. Roger started studying Dentistry, but switched and ended up with a degree in Biology. John has a degree in Electronic Engineering. None of them studied music! Freddie did have some piano lessons paid for by his aunt when he was a youngster, but it didn't last long and he never reached a very high certification level.
On one of Freddie’s earliest performances with the group, the microphone stand broke and he just continued on singing and moving around the stage, and decided he loved it. He could move more freely, could use it in his theatrical way, which everyone knew he loved. He did it forevermore after.
7:12 Loving your Queen reactions. Queenies expect Freddie to come out with F#$@ you he said it always with endearment. He loved their fans. I dont know if i mentioned you watching the 1986 concert at wembly. Not that you would want to watch it on your reaction channel. but Freddies voice will surprise you again about halfway through and after there is a really long Brian and the Red Special solo.
Dear Coach and Mrs. Coach. I am so enjoying your channel and wish you much success. I’m an 81 year old Queen fan-grandma and have been, since I wore mini skirts and go-go boots in the 1970s. Been crushing on Roger since back then. Today, it’s mom jeans and comfortable shoes but still crushing on Roger and loving Queen! Change of pace? Listen to, Seaside Rendezvous. It’s a 1920s style little ditty where Freddie and Roger use only their voices during the “instrumental” break while Roger uses his fingernails on the sound board to mimic someone tap dancing. Very different, quite charming and quirky. Worth a listen. Another unexpected genre among many more waiting for you to discover. Blessings!
Roger is absolutely self-taught! And, I really, REALLY FUNNY story about an interview a friend of mine who was a disc jockey in Philadelphia did with Brian and Roger!!!
The story of the half-stand mic begins before there was Queen. While still in college, Freddie was in a rock blues band called Wreckage. While performing a gig, Freddie's mic got stuck on the stand. No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't dislodge it until finally, he pulled so hard that the mic stand itself separated in two with the mic still attached to the top half of the stand. (FYI Freddie was really strong. He had boxed while at school.) These were poor college students and they didn't have the funds for a backup mic and stand, so Freddie had to continue the performance with the mic with the half-stand still attached. It turned out that he liked it. It gave him something to play with while performing and he performed with it for the rest of his career. It became one of his trademarks. Roger began drumming at around the age of 12, teaching himself by playing along with his favorite records. He became a member of the Reaction, a semi-professional rock band, at the age of 15. Roger had originally learned guitar, but became a drummer when he realized he had a more natural aptitude for it. During his youth, Taylor developed a passion for multi-instrumentalism, playing the ukulele and guitar before turning to drums.
Freddie: "You can take all your clothes off if you like, too. Doesn't matter." John: Freddie: "F**k off!" :) That John Deacon, eh? What a mischievous little scamp. :)
The microphone stand is from the very beginning, when Freddie was at a gig and his mic stand broke when he tried to pull it off. Since then he just decided to use it as it was.
I'm so so happy you reacted to this! Sadly not everyone appreciates the talent Roger brought to the band but I'm so glad you do. The entire concert is incredible but this performance is one of the highlights - Roger has an amazing solo later on in the concert too ;) Can't wait to see you react to more Queen songs and live performances, there is so much more to hear and see for you :) If you wanna hear more of Roger's voice I highly recommend "In the Lap of the Gods" live at the Rainbow from 1974 or "'39" studio version. Roger does an amazing falsetto in the early Queen songs (he lost it later on his career but could still sing incredibly high)❤And if you wanna see more of his drum skills you MUST see "Now I'm here" live at Wembley 1986 - there is also a "Roger cam" ruclips.net/video/XMNNLItedY0/видео.html Side note: Don't sleep on Deaky's talent ;) He is the quiet one of the group but has such a calm and kind personality and is also a brilliant musician❤ Much love from a huge Queen fan (and especially Roger Taylor fan :D) ❤
Thank you so much! We'll hopefully eventually get to everything in their massive catalog. All 4 members of this band deserve a lot of praise. It takes all of them to make these amazing performances.
My understanding is that the Montreal concert was on two days, one of which was November 24, 1981, exactly 10 years before his death on Nov. 24, 1991. A film of the concert was being made and the band members were asked to wear the same outfits on both nights so the production people could choose the best version of each song and piece them together for the final project. The producers were so obnoxious (the audience noise issue included) that Freddie wore his white shorts one night as a protest.
Thanks, Coachies! Roger does show off -- but it's not the whole song... Never seen a drummer who can SANG that way while drumming so incredibly -- really enjoying your reactions... There's totally a mic stand story, but I won't repeat it, b/c I'm sure others already have... lol
@@CoachCastTV I've often heard from drummer friends that it's very difficult to drum and sing.. but Roger had it all... thanks again for your appreciation...
Just to piggy-back on what you said @5:32: Queen has been more popular in England and the rest of Europe than in the U.S. They had a huge success in the U.S. with "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in 1980 and tried to build on that. Pretty successfully so, until they released a music video clip that was so scandalous that it got banned by MTV and radio stations boycotted the band. Their U.S. popularity never recovered from that. Well, until RUclips reaction videos I suppose. That video clip was for "I Want to Break Free" in 1984. Maybe you could react to that clip as well.
Yes, we heard of them in the 80s and some of their music but they were not all that popular, at least in our social circles. It is funny how some people have a hard time understanding that. LOL 😆
Brian May also has a really nice voice! In the Official Studio Version of "Who Wants To Live Forever " you can hear (and see) Brian singing the first chorus before Freddie comes in. However, I'd recommend Brian May's own video of his song "Too Much Love Will Kill You".
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The passionate music, the badass drumming, that raspy and manly voice out of that angel face. How can this be real?
Freddie loves to use his mic stand as an expression tool to emulate guitar action and of course Freddie also uses it like a ceremonial sceptre to enhance his presence ( as if he ever needed it ) but Freddie is Freddie and whatever he did was theatrical , grandiose and sublime 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey there Mr. & Mrs. C... thanks for another great reaction... yes, we too LOVE our Roger in any and all of his talents... story has it he locked himself in a cabinet and refused to come out until the entire band agreed to let this song be the B-Side to "Bohemian Rhapsody"... when push came to shove, he got his wish and became an instant millionaire when BoRhap became the instant hit that it did... Also, I neglected to mention a couple other songs of Roger's, "Tenement Funster" and "Fight From the Inside", both hard-hitting bangers and quite entertaining... but of course you MUST listen to Roger's falsettos in "In the Lap of the Gods"... so angelic and amazing... also, "My Fairy King" and "Ogre Battle" are two that accentuate his phenomenal voice range... blessings.
Just a few more words about knowing Queen. They have released live albums and videos which at least here were available in the libraries. Also when I begun listening to Queen we used to trade albums between friends and sometimes we copied them on compact cassettes. And of course also the videos could be copied.
I am so happy that you appreciate Roger and all he brings to the group! He has same wonderful solo work out there. He was the lead sing of a group called "The Cross". At some point might want to check out his song "Old Friends" that he wrote after Freddie passed. Thanks for all of your reactions.
In their very early concerts Freddie was swinging the mic stand around and the bottom half fell off, he carried on with the show and discovered it was better that way for him to perform. In effect he became the first proper air guitarist of all time!!!! I'm in love with my car was the B-side to Bohemian Rhapsody, I recommend you listen to the album version. It is one of the best Queen songs in my mind.
All four had solo careers running alongside Queen, Roger was the first one releasing a solo album, John didn't do much in front in his solo career more in the background, he was a very reluctant shy person and Freddie looked after him, which is why the camera will rarely pick John up, he didn't join the other three until 1971 after they tried out a few other bassist, and Fred joined Sir Brian and Roger who had set up a group at university called Smile, and the lead singer was also a friend of Fred
There's an interesting story how Brian met Roger for the first time. Brian talked about that in an interview: ruclips.net/video/_N2JSiNMfjI/видео.htmlsi=EgJVgdmwU_q0hvk6 Btw: before he got to study in London (the main reason was to be in the center of music scene) Roger was known in Cornwall as "The legendary singing drummer from Cornwall" 😮❤ So yes, Roger sang while drumming long before he met Brian and Freddie ... 😅 You'll really love 👑 Rock It (Prime Jive) the official lyric video. Freddie is singing the intro and Roger is singing the rest of the jive/rock song. At concerts Freddie sang the whole song (with Roger's backup) but there are just a few live (sound) recordings.
Fun fact, apparently Freddie & Brian turned to look at Roger because he forgot some of the words to his song not that you would know! Great reaction to one of my favourite songs, thank you, love from Australia 🇦🇺
I can't wait to see your reaction to Live Aid. You certainly won't be disappointed! For now, here are a couple of studio songs you probably have never heard that are just fantastic (as if you need your Queen list to be longer). The Prophet's Song (off the Night at the Opera album) and It's Late (off News of the World).
Definitely need to listen to Lap of the Gods live at the Rainbow. If you really want to get into the old stuff try My Fairy King. It's an amazing piece of work!
You should listen to "Say it's not true" by Roger Taylor and I love "Too much love will kill you" sung bij Brian May. Both of them are amazing singers.
If you would like to see another great medley, then I heartily recommend "In The Lap Of The Gods"/"Seven Seas Of Rhye"/"Tear It Up" from the Wembley concert. Freddie's piano playing is just mad!
Freddie was in a band before Queen called Wreckage they were playing a gig & the microphone stand got stuck he pulled it & it came apart he carried on with the half a stand loved it & as they say the rest is history xx absolutely loving your channel ❤& your appreciation of Roger my favourite Queen band member ❤❤ Roger’s voice compliments Freddie’s so well if Freddie was getting tired which happened he was always there to step in ❤ would love you to react to early Queen from the Rainbow 1974 in The Lap of The Gods ( not the revisited one which is at the end of the concert same title two completely different songs) to hear Rogers falsetto he lost it later on can still hit high notes but not the stratospheric high ones from early Queen xx
Roger was in a band when he was around 7 or 8 learned to play the guitar he tried the drums & found he was better playing them he plays the piano rhythm guitar drums bass guitar all of Queen are multi instrumentalists xx
Roger played drums using his mom's pots and pans and banging on them with her utensils. She got tired of him doing that so his dad bought him a set of drums
Another great reaction from this lovely couple! Keep them coming! I love your curiosity and interest in the history of the group! All these guys started at early age. Rogers Meddows Taylor started his first group at age of 7. He first played the guitar and ukelele but around age of 15 he moved to London to study dentistry and picked up the drums. Self-taught. As to Freddie all he ever wanted was to sing. His mom used to bring him to kids parties when he was a toddler, and he would ask her can I sing? Can I sing? Since he was 3 years old all he wanted to do was to sing. His mom quickly learned that he can get a free ice cream or other party treats as rewards for entertaining the guests so she let him do it. The rest is history. BTW don’t worry about us sticking around for your Live Aid long reaction. We can watch that concert 100 times. It is the best concert in history of music, so it is time well spent.
These Are the Days of Our Lives is a song written by Roger reflecting on his children…watch his version live with Brian, he sounds amazing. Then watch the video version Freddie sings. Love both versions but Freddie’s is extremely sad as it’s his last video and a few months before he passed.
When Freddie was doing one of their first college shows ,the Mike came off the stand, and Freddie just walked around the stage with it while singing. He wasn’t able to put it back on the stand . He kept it in his act from then on.
After Freddie's death the other three released a single called "Only the good die young". I would love to hear your opinion of this tribute song performed by Brian, Roger and John.
We actually filmed that reaction, as we're trying to get a little ahead posting one per day in the portal because we'll be traveling a bit and unable to film. That should post probably next week.
I do love your reactions - specifically that you don't exclusively react to Freddie, but appreciate the unique contributions by the other members of the band. Roger started out as a guitarist, but taught himself to tune and play the drums when he realised he had a talent for them. He has always sung. He grew up near Truro in Cornwall, and as a boy, attended Truro school, and was a chorister in the choir at Truro cathedral, before starting his first band in 1962.... Perhaps you'd like to react to a more recent song of his... 'Journey's End' (2017) The official video is 6 mins 58 secs long, and includes a dance sequence inside the cathedral, featuring his wife. I can't tell you how many times I've watched/listened to it... And contrary to popular belief, Queen isn't the only band I'm passionate about. Before I found Queen, I was all about the Moody Blues - and I still have most of their albums (although now on CD). You might like to try 'Nights in White Satin', initially released in 1967 (the first single I ever bought , or maybe the second, I can't remember which came first, this or Procul Harum's 'Whiter Shade of Pale), but the best video is live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2000...
How about that music --- those four musicians had me in the middle of a racetrack ,...Freddie's piano my favorite, but all, drums and guitars too, fantastic.
Another great reaction to Queen. I can not wait until you do Live Aid. Be sure you get the version that starts with the two British comics dressed like Police. It’s much better version. You will enjoy it. Best 20 minutes in Musical History.
@@CoachCastTV Yes - there are two versions of the Live Aid concert, and the shorter one has the very ending cut off for some reason. Listen to the longer one.
Great reaction as ever, I'd already told you that Roger sounded like Rod Stewart in my earlier comments, they used to take the **** out of him and kept calling him "Rod" instead of "Rog" !!!!!!!
Love your reactions to Queen. I am of an age where I was lucky enough to see them with Freddie twice in the 70's - A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races tours - along with seeing them with Adam Lambert several times. All shows spectacular and though Freddie is unmatched, Adam is probably the only one to be able to come close to Freddie and have become a fan of his as well. As a Queenie, I highly recommend you viewing A Kind of Magic live at Wembley. Such an iconic Queen concert with this song being a classic performance by the band.
Freddie told em to move their asses because compared to European, North American concert goers mostly just sat down. It had nothing to do do with the film crew.
I love this performance of this medley, it is so much fun. Killer Queen has always been a cheeky favorite of mine and I'm In Love With My Car is just the best. Nobody but Queen could have a song with that name and pull it off but here we are. Roger gets his moment to shine. He said this is a very hard song for him because the drumming is not easy and he is of course having to solo on it. Thank you for your reactions. You are right on the audience being told to stay still and in their seats. Freddie's comments are Freddie speak for "Back off, Security! this is our show and our choices." Once when Queen was performing early on, Freddie's mic came off of its stand. Being a pro Freddie just kept on singing with the detached mic. He decided he liked the freedom it afforded him and he also liked it as a prop. When cordless mics became a thing, Freddie continued to use the stand and even said he really didn't like not having the cord which had also become sort of a prop for him and something to do with his hands. Roger's first instrument was a ukulele, his second a guitar so he plays both of those as well. but once he took a seat behind a drum kit, he knew that would be his instrument of choice. He played all or almost all of the instruments on his most recent solo album (Insider) since he recorded it during lockdown. I think his son, Rufus (an incredible drummer in his own right) may have played drums on a couple of songs, his wife sang backup vocals and also was the photographer for the album art. It is a really good album. Make sure you pick the Live Aid show that starts off with the comedic cops because the other one cuts off short at the end which is a total buzz-kill. So watch the very beginning of the video before you choose the copy to react to. If you see the band running onto the stage at the beginning, that is the wrong video.
Hey Coach and Mrs.Coach......Freddie, Brian and John didn’t want to have “I’m in love with my car” on the album.....Roger’s response was to lock himself in a cupboard for several hours until the others agreed to it😂🤩
Check out Freddie's The Millionaire Waltz, it's genius. Killer Queen was the first song I heard of Queen and that's why I first went to see them in 1975.
Please react to Queen '39 - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon. Brian wrote it about a space traveller who goes to the edge of the cosmos and doesn't come back for 100 years because time behaves differently up there. Roger gets off his drum kit in this performance and it's quite a catchy tune, even though it's about a heavy subject.
THIS CONCERT WAS LONG BEFORE THEY MADE A MOVIE ABOUT QUEEN. THEY HAD NO IDEA ABOUT HOW FAMOUS THEY WERE GOING TO BE FOR A MOVIE TO MADE ABOUT THEM. THIS CONCERT WAS DURING THE LATE 1`970s SO, THERE WAS NO WAY THEY WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT A MOVIE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WAS GOING TO BE MADE.
We were referencing the movie of this concert. Other viewers told us the story how the band wasn't happy with the producers of this concert video. We were not referencing the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. 😆
@9:48 Exactly, they all have great voices. But they all have a different quality to them. They're so good. Btw, Brian's voice is prominently featured in "Who Wants to Live Forever".
I have to tell you this. I have been watching you for weeks now. I was 15 in 1972 and ran around with other teens who were crazy about rock and roll. I bought Queen's first album and never looked back. It took them 3 albums before they caught on big time in the states.Anyway I saw them every time they were in the States except for their first time when they did one show in the US, Brian got sick and they went back to the UK.I saw them the first time at the Akron Civic Theater, a 3000 seat venue. It was AMAZING. RIP Freddie.
Funny thing about the Roger's song "I'm in Love With My Car" is that Freddie refused to sing it. He stated: "I'm not singing THAT!" 😅 and Roger replied: "No problem, I'll sing it." 😂😂 And singing while drumming is a hell of a job, but Roger has done it superbly. Fun goes even deeper: The song was released as a single B-side with a famous Bohemian Rhapsody being A-side ... 😮 Brian explained in a documentary: A single is a piece of vinyl that has two sides. On the A-side there is a song that every radio station probably will play (if you're lucky) and the B-side song most times just happens to be there on the other side.😮 But when it comes to royalties the money a single made would be split 50/50 😮 ... So you can imagine that members of the band were a bit like khmmmm?? 🤔🤨... But I'm sure Roger loved spending tons of money that he got from ILWMC (50% of earnings that Freddie's famous Bohemian Rhapsody made 😮😅) ... and Roger was sitting opposite to Brian during the interview with a largest grin on his face 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Our sweet boys ...
Awesome! For the Rod Stewart/Roger thing, sure I got that BUT!!! (Always a “but” eh?) I don’t think anyone in Rock N Roll can sing higher than Roger! (Try “Lap of the gods”) LOVE the line “Told my girl, I had to forget her, rather buy be, a new carburetor!”
@CoachCastTV I will definitely watch any and all of your Queen reactions until the end of the last second. Truly enjoyed your reactions to this -- thank you!!!
Brian and Roger do a commentary of this whole concert ("Queen Live Montreal 1981 with Commentary")... well worth watching one day when you know the concert and aren't annoyed by their talking through all the songs. In the commentary, Roger says that Freddie saying the folks can shift their asses is code for "Security is too tight." I love the inside view of what is going on while they are onstage and how backstage energy affects the front of the stage. Also, in the commentary, we get to see just how naughty Roger is. He makes several sexual innuendos and even Brian makes references to Roger's backstage antics. I never tire of learning about Queen! Oh, and you both are awesome! Thank you for entertaining us Queenies!
You can also watch the concert turning on their comments as subtitles, this way you are not missing the music, while being able to read their comments. I did this a few weeks ago and it was great
Love this medley .. First of all, Killer Queen is on point. Second, Roger is on full display with vocals & drumming!! Btw, the Queenies are excellent at Queen trivia!! Anyway, Roger wrote the song inspired by his roadie who was in love with fast cars! 🏎💨 It really could apply to Roger too, after all “cars don’t talk back” 😆. Check out FOREIGN SAND ft. X Japan’s Yoshiki .. from his solo work!! Amazing song!
Good evening guys, hope you are both well. If you love 70/80s music, you could do worse than to have a listen to the Electric Light Orchestra, a whole catalogue of hits here in the UK and over the pond in the good old US. Fun, feel good music. Love your reactions ✌️🇬🇧🙏🎸😎
Hello. Let me start by saying I am really enjoying watching your reactions to videos. There are so many songs I want to suggest you watch. But I will let you find them for yourselves. Just seeing your reaction is also letting me enjoy them in a new light. So thank you for sharing
Okay the story behind his mic stand, is early on during a show the thing broke and he ended up with the top part. As for this medley, I saw them do this live on this tour at Madison Square Garden in September of 1980.
YES THERE IS A REASON. IF YOU WATCH THE MOVIE BOHEMIAN RAPSODY YOU'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM. His first time he's on stage he goes to take the mic out of the stand and it was stuck so he pulled really hard and the entire mic come off the stand. He kept it that way.
Try bright eyes at the bottom of everything. A 2000 independent band not on radio much. Haven’t seen other reaction to them. Thanks for killer Queen in love with my car. You guys are great
Your watch time on Live Aid will be 20+ minutes. Be sure you use the version with 2 British comics at beginning. Other version cuts off before end of concert
I love your guys’ Queen reactions! They’re definitely one of the best live bands and my favorite of all time. Another band you should check out is a rock band Greta Van Fleet. It’s a band where the singer and guitarist are twins, and their younger brother is on bass/keys, and a family friend on drums.They’re amazing live, and as a 21 year old it’s awesome to have an old soul band that’s so young where I can see them live. If you have the time, you should check out Greta Van Fleet’s “Age of Man” at the Red Rocks live! Another Queen recommendation I can give you is Play the Game live in Montreal, and a good one where Roger and Freddie duet is Action this Day live in Milton Keynes 1982.
mic story - early, early days, Freddie (who always loved to move all over the stage), pulled on a stationary mic to 'move it', but instead it broke. Finding he could now move freely around the stage to entertain, he decided to keep the 'broken mic' as a prop. It became one of his trademarks. A gimmic? sort of, yes. But it worked so well for him as he then played with the mic as a bat, a sword, a bow & arrow, a golf club, a male appendage - whatever he chose to use it for.
Just do every single Queen song... it'll keep yourselves busy for a good while 👌
Freddie had a degree in Art and Graphic Design. Brian has a PhD in Astrophysics. Roger started studying Dentistry, but switched and ended up with a degree in Biology. John has a degree in Electronic Engineering. None of them studied music! Freddie did have some piano lessons paid for by his aunt when he was a youngster, but it didn't last long and he never reached a very high certification level.
This band is talented on so many levels.
Radio Gaga written by Roger. Love it.
Freddie and Brian both level 4 piano students
Freddie had a diploma , not a degree, there’s a difference
There's also a great story that Brian built his guitar with his father. He's still using his Red Special yet.
On one of Freddie’s earliest performances with the group, the microphone stand broke and he just continued on singing and moving around the stage, and decided he loved it. He could move more freely, could use it in his theatrical way, which everyone knew he loved. He did it forevermore after.
It worked for him!
Yep, 100% correct. What a fantastic fluke to make extension of his performance. Unreal.
In live shows Freddie was very big on F bombs. It's part of the package.
Next year Killer Queen will be 50 years old. Incredibly clever lyrics by Freddie.
I'll never understand how Roger could have such a raspy singing voice but with a crystal clear falsetto
Yeah, we noticed that...amazing!
I love the shot we get of Freddie watching Roger playing and singing!! It’s super sweet!! He seems like a regular fan in just the split second!!
Freddie turned back to look at Roger because he sang the wrong words it was super cute he and Brian looked back at Roger at the same time lol
7:12 Loving your Queen reactions. Queenies expect Freddie to come out with F#$@ you he said it always with endearment. He loved their fans. I dont know if i mentioned you watching the 1986 concert at wembly.

Dear Coach and Mrs. Coach. I am so enjoying your channel and wish you much success. I’m an 81 year old Queen fan-grandma and have been, since I wore mini skirts and go-go boots in the 1970s.

We so appreciate you watching and giving us that suggestion. We look forward to learning more about this amazing band.
Roger is absolutely self-taught! And, I really, REALLY FUNNY story about an interview a friend of mine who was a disc jockey in Philadelphia did with Brian and Roger!!!
The story of the half-stand mic begins before there was Queen. While still in college, Freddie was in a rock blues band called Wreckage. While performing a gig, Freddie's mic got stuck on the stand. No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't dislodge it until finally, he pulled so hard that the mic stand itself separated in two with the mic still attached to the top half of the stand.

This is all great info. Thanks for taking time to tell the stories.
Freddie: "You can take all your clothes off if you like, too. Doesn't matter."
John:
Freddie: "F**k off!" :)
That John Deacon, eh? What a mischievous little scamp. :)
😁
The microphone stand is from the very beginning, when Freddie was at a gig and his mic stand broke when he tried to pull it off. Since then he just decided to use it as it was.
It's iconic.
Great choice coach
This is all due to the viewer's suggestions. We are just along for the ride. LOL 😆
I'm so so happy you reacted to this! Sadly not everyone appreciates the talent Roger brought to the band but I'm so glad you do. The entire concert is incredible but this performance is one of the highlights - Roger has an amazing solo later on in the concert too ;)
Can't wait to see you react to more Queen songs and live performances, there is so much more to hear and see for you :)
If you wanna hear more of Roger's voice I highly recommend "In the Lap of the Gods" live at the Rainbow from 1974 or "'39" studio version. Roger does an amazing falsetto in the early Queen songs (he lost it later on his career but could still sing incredibly high)❤And if you wanna see more of his drum skills you MUST see "Now I'm here" live at Wembley 1986 - there is also a "Roger cam" ruclips.net/video/XMNNLItedY0/видео.html
Side note: Don't sleep on Deaky's talent ;) He is the quiet one of the group but has such a calm and kind personality and is also a brilliant musician❤
Much love from a huge Queen fan (and especially Roger Taylor fan :D) ❤
Thank you so much! We'll hopefully eventually get to everything in their massive catalog. All 4 members of this band deserve a lot of praise. It takes all of them to make these amazing performances.
@@CoachCastTV Son and Daughter LIVE at the RAINBOW is anothet badass underrated QUEEN gem
My understanding is that the Montreal concert was on two days, one of which was November 24, 1981, exactly 10 years before his death on Nov. 24, 1991. A film of the concert was being made and the band members were asked to wear the same outfits on both nights so the production people could choose the best version of each song and piece them together for the final project. The producers were so obnoxious (the audience noise issue included) that Freddie wore his white shorts one night as a protest.
That's awesome!
Thanks, Coachies! Roger does show off -- but it's not the whole song... Never seen a drummer who can SANG that way while drumming so incredibly -- really enjoying your reactions... There's totally a mic stand story, but I won't repeat it, b/c I'm sure others already have... lol
Yeah, they told us about the mic stand. Roger is simply a beast on the drums.
@@CoachCastTV I've often heard from drummer friends that it's very difficult to drum and sing.. but Roger had it all... thanks again for your appreciation...
Just to piggy-back on what you said @5:32: Queen has been more popular in England and the rest of Europe than in the U.S. They had a huge success in the U.S. with "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in 1980 and tried to build on that. Pretty successfully so, until they released a music video clip that was so scandalous that it got banned by MTV and radio stations boycotted the band. Their U.S. popularity never recovered from that. Well, until RUclips reaction videos I suppose. That video clip was for "I Want to Break Free" in 1984. Maybe you could react to that clip as well.
Yes, we heard of them in the 80s and some of their music but they were not all that popular, at least in our social circles. It is funny how some people have a hard time understanding that. LOL 😆
Brian May also has a really nice voice! In the Official Studio Version of "Who Wants To Live Forever " you can hear (and see) Brian singing the first chorus before Freddie comes in. However, I'd recommend Brian May's own video of his song "Too Much Love Will Kill You".
He sang first verse, and a first part of the bridge, as well
6 months later in Bikini Bottom
Roger has an amazing solo in this same concert, in addition to Brian...FIRE!... ❤❤
Evidently this entire concert was incredible.
@@CoachCastTV IS incredible, please... :)
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The passionate music, the badass drumming, that raspy and manly voice out of that angel face. How can this be real?
Hahaha! This was fantastic!
Loved it WOW..For Roger ..Well deserved..brilliant.....
Freddie loves to use his mic stand as an expression tool to emulate guitar action and of course Freddie also uses it like a ceremonial sceptre to enhance his presence ( as if he ever needed it ) but Freddie is Freddie and whatever he did was theatrical , grandiose and sublime 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey there Mr. & Mrs. C... thanks for another great reaction... yes, we too LOVE our Roger in any and all of his talents... story has it he locked himself in a cabinet and refused to come out until the entire band agreed to let this song be the B-Side to "Bohemian Rhapsody"... when push came to shove, he got his wish and became an instant millionaire when BoRhap became the instant hit that it did... Also, I neglected to mention a couple other songs of Roger's, "Tenement Funster" and "Fight From the Inside", both hard-hitting bangers and quite entertaining... but of course you MUST listen to Roger's falsettos in "In the Lap of the Gods"... so angelic and amazing... also, "My Fairy King" and "Ogre Battle" are two that accentuate his phenomenal voice range... blessings.
Wow. Good info. There will be lots more Queen on this channel.
Just a few more words about knowing Queen. They have released live albums and videos which at least here were available in the libraries. Also when I begun listening to Queen we used to trade albums between friends and sometimes we copied them on compact cassettes. And of course also the videos could be copied.
Rogerrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy that you appreciate Roger and all he brings to the group! He has same wonderful solo work out there. He was the lead sing of a group called "The Cross". At some point might want to check out his song "Old Friends" that he wrote after Freddie passed. Thanks for all of your reactions.
Thanks so much for watching. We certainly will get to some Roger solo stuff when we can.
In their very early concerts Freddie was swinging the mic stand around and the bottom half fell off, he carried on with the show and discovered it was better that way for him to perform. In effect he became the first proper air guitarist of all time!!!! I'm in love with my car was the B-side to Bohemian Rhapsody, I recommend you listen to the album version. It is one of the best Queen songs in my mind.
Thanks for that info. The half mic stand works well for him.
All four had solo careers running alongside Queen, Roger was the first one releasing a solo album, John didn't do much in front in his solo career more in the background, he was a very reluctant shy person and Freddie looked after him, which is why the camera will rarely pick John up, he didn't join the other three until 1971 after they tried out a few other bassist, and Fred joined Sir Brian and Roger who had set up a group at university called Smile, and the lead singer was also a friend of Fred
Interesting!
First time I heard queen I was 11 yrs old and bohemian rhapsody came on the radio at 2am and from that day I've been a queen fan 1985
There's an interesting story how Brian met Roger for the first time. Brian talked about that in an interview:
ruclips.net/video/_N2JSiNMfjI/видео.htmlsi=EgJVgdmwU_q0hvk6
Btw: before he got to study in London
(the main reason was to be in the center of music scene) Roger was known in Cornwall as "The legendary singing drummer from Cornwall" 😮❤
So yes, Roger sang while drumming long before he met Brian and Freddie ... 😅
You'll really love 👑 Rock It (Prime Jive) the official lyric video.
Freddie is singing the intro and Roger is singing the rest of the jive/rock song.
At concerts Freddie sang the whole song (with Roger's backup) but there are just a few live (sound) recordings.
Oh, that's great info. Thanks for another that has to go on the list.
Don't worry we will watch the Live Aid concert over and over! (PS Can I confess that I have never heard any AC/DC songs? Can't get past Queen.....)
See...that is what I mean. It's totally possible not to know bands that are world-famous. LOL 😆
@@CoachCastTV I forgot to say how much I am enthralled by Roger Taylor's incredible drumming in this piece! Multi-talented.....
He is insanely talented.
Freddy broke his Mike stand during a show. He went on with the broken stand. Found he liked it.
It does add to his performance
It is unique.
Fun fact, apparently Freddie & Brian turned to look at Roger because he forgot some of the words to his song not that you would know! Great reaction to one of my favourite songs, thank you, love from Australia 🇦🇺
The reason Freddie turned round to look at Roger was because of what a damn good job he was doing. Roger didn't forget any lyrics in the performance
I envy you for the next year being introduced to the fantastic 200 songs in the Queen catalog. More fantastic songs to hear.
We look forward to it.
When asked about the mic stand, Freddie said (something like): Everyone has a gimmick, darling, I guess this mine 👑
It worked for him.
I Really Enjoy Seeing Your Reactions To All These Queen Song's, Guy's
We appreciate you watching!
@@CoachCastTV You're Welcome 🤗
I can't wait to see your reaction to Live Aid. You certainly won't be disappointed! For now, here are a couple of studio songs you probably have never heard that are just fantastic (as if you need your Queen list to be longer). The Prophet's Song (off the Night at the Opera album) and It's Late (off News of the World).
Definitely never heard those and will keep adding to the list. Queen fans have not disappointed us yet with great recommendations. 👍
Definitely need to listen to Lap of the Gods live at the Rainbow. If you really want to get into the old stuff try My Fairy King. It's an amazing piece of work!
Never heard either...good suggestions.
Roger and his 'dog whistle' in Lap of the Gods.... amazing!
@@susanp.7954 He sounds like an angel! Gotta love the dog whistle.
Roger is a phenomenal guitarist as well
You should listen to "Say it's not true" by Roger Taylor and I love "Too much love will kill you" sung bij Brian May. Both of them are amazing singers.
If you would like to see another great medley, then I heartily recommend "In The Lap Of The Gods"/"Seven Seas Of Rhye"/"Tear It Up" from the Wembley concert. Freddie's piano playing is just mad!
Sounds good. He's excellent on the piano.
This is a great recommendation, you will love it.
Great suggestion that part of the concert gives me goose bumps please do a reaction to those you will love it
Yes great recommendation I was going to recommend that too!!! Definitely check that out!!!
Freddie was in a band before Queen called Wreckage they were playing a gig & the microphone stand got stuck he pulled it & it came apart he carried on with the half a stand loved it & as they say the rest is history xx absolutely loving your channel ❤& your appreciation of Roger my favourite Queen band member ❤❤ Roger’s voice compliments Freddie’s so well if Freddie was getting tired which happened he was always there to step in ❤ would love you to react to early Queen from the Rainbow 1974 in The Lap of The Gods ( not the revisited one which is at the end of the concert same title two completely different songs) to hear Rogers falsetto he lost it later on can still hit high notes but not the stratospheric high ones from early Queen xx
Thanks for telling that story. We appreciate you!
Roger was in a band when he was around 7 or 8 learned to play the guitar he tried the drums & found he was better playing them he plays the piano rhythm guitar drums bass guitar all of Queen are multi instrumentalists xx
Wow...unreal the talent in this band.
Roger played drums using his mom's pots and pans and banging on them with her utensils. She got tired of him doing that so his dad bought him a set of drums
Brian May has good vocals as well. He wrote and sang Too Much Love Will Kill You. Freddie sang it as well.
Another great reaction from this lovely couple! Keep them coming! I love your curiosity and interest in the history of the group! All these guys started at early age. Rogers Meddows Taylor started his first group at age of 7. He first played the guitar and ukelele but around age of 15 he moved to London to study dentistry and picked up the drums. Self-taught. As to Freddie all he ever wanted was to sing. His mom used to bring him to kids parties when he was a toddler, and he would ask her can I sing? Can I sing? Since he was 3 years old all he wanted to do was to sing. His mom quickly learned that he can get a free ice cream or other party treats as rewards for entertaining the guests so she let him do it. The rest is history. BTW don’t worry about us sticking around for your Live Aid long reaction. We can watch that concert 100 times. It is the best concert in history of music, so it is time well spent.
Many thanks for the kind words and great info. We appreciate you!
I once saw Roger live with his band in Gothenburg Sweden.
These Are the Days of Our Lives is a song written by Roger reflecting on his children…watch his version live with Brian, he sounds amazing. Then watch the video version Freddie sings. Love both versions but Freddie’s is extremely sad as it’s his last video and a few months before he passed.
Oh, wow...thanks for that info. So much Queen to go...we'll be in this rabbit hole a long time. LOL
When Freddie was doing one of their first college shows ,the Mike came off the stand, and Freddie just walked around the stage with it while singing. He wasn’t able to put it back on the stand . He kept it in his act from then on.
After Freddie's death the other three released a single called "Only the good die young". I would love to hear your opinion of this tribute song performed by Brian, Roger and John.
We actually filmed that reaction, as we're trying to get a little ahead posting one per day in the portal because we'll be traveling a bit and unable to film. That should post probably next week.
I'm in love with my car, always my favorite Queen song ! Thanks
Great! Well done!!! ❤ Roger is one of a kind!
Totally agreed about Roger, and thank you!
I do love your reactions - specifically that you don't exclusively react to Freddie, but appreciate the unique contributions by the other members of the band.
Roger started out as a guitarist, but taught himself to tune and play the drums when he realised he had a talent for them. He has always sung. He grew up near Truro in Cornwall, and as a boy, attended Truro school, and was a chorister in the choir at Truro cathedral, before starting his first band in 1962....
Perhaps you'd like to react to a more recent song of his... 'Journey's End' (2017) The official video is 6 mins 58 secs long, and includes a dance sequence inside the cathedral, featuring his wife. I can't tell you how many times I've watched/listened to it...
And contrary to popular belief, Queen isn't the only band I'm passionate about. Before I found Queen, I was all about the Moody Blues - and I still have most of their albums (although now on CD). You might like to try 'Nights in White Satin', initially released in 1967 (the first single I ever bought , or maybe the second, I can't remember which came first, this or Procul Harum's 'Whiter Shade of Pale), but the best video is live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2000...
Thank you so much! That's some very good info. We appreciate your support and definitely intend to do a lot more Queen reactions going forward.
How about that music --- those four musicians had me in the middle of a racetrack ,...Freddie's piano my favorite, but all, drums and guitars too, fantastic.
Love your Queen reactions ❤
Thank you. We are having fun doing them!
Another great reaction to Queen. I can not wait until you do Live Aid. Be sure you get the version that starts with the two British comics dressed like Police. It’s much better version. You will enjoy it. Best 20 minutes in Musical History.
We look forward to it.
@@CoachCastTV Yes - there are two versions of the Live Aid concert, and the shorter one has the very ending cut off for some reason. Listen to the longer one.
If you've not seen the official video for Bohemian Rhapsody it's worth a watch. BTW: Roger takes on all of the highest notes when needed.
Coach has heard that song many times, but is certain that neither of us have seen the official MV.
Great reaction as ever, I'd already told you that Roger sounded like Rod Stewart in my earlier comments, they used to take the **** out of him and kept calling him "Rod" instead of "Rog" !!!!!!!
Yes, we heard it loud and clear on this one.
Love your reactions to Queen. I am of an age where I was lucky enough to see them with Freddie twice in the 70's - A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races tours - along with seeing them with Adam Lambert several times. All shows spectacular and though Freddie is unmatched, Adam is probably the only one to be able to come close to Freddie and have become a fan of his as well. As a Queenie, I highly recommend you viewing A Kind of Magic live at Wembley. Such an iconic Queen concert with this song being a classic performance by the band.
Queen live best music ❤
Freddie told em to move their asses because compared to European, North American concert goers mostly just sat down. It had nothing to do do with the film crew.
Roger has his own records he recorded on his own.
Yeah, a few have mentioned that, and we hope to get to some eventually. So much content for this band!
"My Country I&II" from his album "Fun in Space" is incredibly good.
ruclips.net/video/YC1b4pJj-2c/видео.htmlsi=I1OZovDiNnv6JUHr
I love this performance of this medley, it is so much fun. Killer Queen has always been a cheeky favorite of mine and I'm In Love With My Car is just the best. Nobody but Queen could have a song with that name and pull it off but here we are. Roger gets his moment to shine. He said this is a very hard song for him because the drumming is not easy and he is of course having to solo on it. Thank you for your reactions. You are right on the audience being told to stay still and in their seats. Freddie's comments are Freddie speak for "Back off, Security! this is our show and our choices." Once when Queen was performing early on, Freddie's mic came off of its stand. Being a pro Freddie just kept on singing with the detached mic. He decided he liked the freedom it afforded him and he also liked it as a prop. When cordless mics became a thing, Freddie continued to use the stand and even said he really didn't like not having the cord which had also become sort of a prop for him and something to do with his hands. Roger's first instrument was a ukulele, his second a guitar so he plays both of those as well. but once he took a seat behind a drum kit, he knew that would be his instrument of choice. He played all or almost all of the instruments on his most recent solo album (Insider) since he recorded it during lockdown. I think his son, Rufus (an incredible drummer in his own right) may have played drums on a couple of songs, his wife sang backup vocals and also was the photographer for the album art. It is a really good album. Make sure you pick the Live Aid show that starts off with the comedic cops because the other one cuts off short at the end which is a total buzz-kill. So watch the very beginning of the video before you choose the copy to react to. If you see the band running onto the stage at the beginning, that is the wrong video.
That's really cool how he kept it as a prop. This was a great medley for sure. Roger is a beast! We appreciate you!
Absolutely love your reactions!
Thank you so much!!
This band was a force of nature. Take cover 🤯
Roger could have been the lead in a band for sure❤😂 Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
Hello my loves! I try not to miss your videos, but for some reason I missed this one, but 10 months later RUclips sent it to me 😁♥️
Better late than never. LOL
Hey Coach and Mrs.Coach......Freddie, Brian and John didn’t want to have “I’m in love with my car” on the album.....Roger’s response was to lock himself in a cupboard for several hours until the others agreed to it😂🤩
LOL, yeah we read about that and some of the other tiffs the band had at times, but you cannot argue the finished product is superb.
in one concert he had a mike stand broke on him, and he liked the broken part, and he used it after that.
It works for him.
Check out Freddie's The Millionaire Waltz, it's genius. Killer Queen was the first song I heard of Queen and that's why I first went to see them in 1975.
Did you now that Brian made his own Guitar from a table and an old fire surrounded
Another great reaction!! You’re right, they really feed off each other..thanks!!
Thanks, we appreciate you!
Please react to Queen '39 - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon. Brian wrote it about a space traveller who goes to the edge of the cosmos and doesn't come back for 100 years because time behaves differently up there. Roger gets off his drum kit in this performance and it's quite a catchy tune, even though it's about a heavy subject.
That sounds very interesting. Lots of layers to this band.
If you watch the whole concert you will hear another amazing drum solo
THIS CONCERT WAS LONG BEFORE THEY MADE A MOVIE ABOUT QUEEN. THEY HAD NO IDEA ABOUT HOW FAMOUS THEY WERE GOING TO BE FOR A MOVIE TO MADE ABOUT THEM. THIS CONCERT WAS DURING THE LATE 1`970s SO, THERE WAS NO WAY THEY WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT A MOVIE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WAS GOING TO BE MADE.
We were referencing the movie of this concert. Other viewers told us the story how the band wasn't happy with the producers of this concert video. We were not referencing the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. 😆
GOT IT I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE MOVIE BUT, I AM AN IDIOT.@@CoachCastTV
@@PetroniloPocaspulgas LOL, not at all. We can understand the confusion if you hadn't read all the comments about it. We appreciate you watching!
YOU HAVE BECOME ONE OF Y FAVORITES FROM NOW ON I'VE JUST SUBSCRIBED. GREETINGS FROM EL SALVADOR CENTRAL AMERICA.@@CoachCastTV
@@PetroniloPocaspulgas Welcome aboard. We appreciate you and look forward to chatting with you going forward.
@9:48 Exactly, they all have great voices. But they all have a different quality to them. They're so good. Btw, Brian's voice is prominently featured in "Who Wants to Live Forever".
Excellent. We plan on going deep into their catalog.
Look out for the nod of respect from Fred
I have to tell you this. I have been watching you for weeks now. I was 15 in 1972 and ran around with other teens who were crazy about rock and roll. I bought Queen's first album and never looked back. It took them 3 albums before they caught on big time in the states.Anyway I saw them every time they were in the States except for their first time when they did one show in the US, Brian got sick and they went back to the UK.I saw them the first time at the Akron Civic Theater, a 3000 seat venue. It was AMAZING. RIP Freddie.
That's awesome you got to see them live. We appreciate you watching.
Funny thing about the Roger's song "I'm in Love With My Car" is that Freddie refused to sing it. He stated: "I'm not singing THAT!" 😅 and Roger replied: "No problem, I'll sing it." 😂😂
And singing while drumming is a hell of a job, but Roger has done it superbly.
Fun goes even deeper: The song was released as a single B-side with a famous Bohemian Rhapsody being A-side ... 😮
Brian explained in a documentary: A single is a piece of vinyl that has two sides. On the A-side there is a song that every radio station probably will play (if you're lucky) and the B-side song most times just happens to be there on the other side.😮 But when it comes to royalties the money a single made would be split 50/50 😮 ... So you can imagine that members of the band were a bit like khmmmm?? 🤔🤨... But I'm sure Roger loved spending tons of money that he got from ILWMC (50% of earnings that Freddie's famous Bohemian Rhapsody made 😮😅) ... and Roger was sitting opposite to Brian during the interview with a largest grin on his face 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Our sweet boys ...
Haha, that's fantastic! Well played by Roger!
Awesome! For the Rod Stewart/Roger thing, sure I got that BUT!!! (Always a “but” eh?) I don’t think anyone in Rock N Roll can sing higher than Roger! (Try “Lap of the gods”) LOVE the line “Told my girl, I had to forget her, rather buy be, a new carburetor!”
@CoachCastTV I will definitely watch any and all of your Queen reactions until the end of the last second. Truly enjoyed your reactions to this -- thank you!!!
Awesome! That's good to know because we just filmed "Live Aid" and just have to edit and get it scheduled. Glad you enjoyed!
Love your reaction. Please try Stone Cold Crazy live at the rainbow 74. Metallica redid this and got an award. Waiting for Live Aid. It never gets old
Thanks for that recommendation!
Brian and Roger do a commentary of this whole concert ("Queen Live Montreal 1981 with Commentary")... well worth watching one day when you know the concert and aren't annoyed by their talking through all the songs. In the commentary, Roger says that Freddie saying the folks can shift their asses is code for "Security is too tight." I love the inside view of what is going on while they are onstage and how backstage energy affects the front of the stage. Also, in the commentary, we get to see just how naughty Roger is. He makes several sexual innuendos and even Brian makes references to Roger's backstage antics. I never tire of learning about Queen! Oh, and you both are awesome! Thank you for entertaining us Queenies!
Many thanks! That sounds like a cool thing to watch.
You can also watch the concert turning on their comments as subtitles, this way you are not missing the music, while being able to read their comments. I did this a few weeks ago and it was great
RT sounds like Rod Stewart and looks like Rutger Hauer.
Haha! Good observation!
@@CoachCastTV Keep pushing.
I love both ❤
I love that you guys love Queen ❤ gday from Cairns Australia 🇦🇺
They were a band we only knew a few radio songs, but now we have developed a new appreciation for them as we get into their catalog.
Love this medley .. First of all, Killer Queen is on point. Second, Roger is on full display with vocals & drumming!! Btw, the Queenies are excellent at Queen trivia!! Anyway, Roger wrote the song inspired by his roadie who was in love with fast cars! 🏎💨 It really could apply to Roger too, after all “cars don’t talk back” 😆. Check out FOREIGN SAND ft. X Japan’s Yoshiki .. from his solo work!! Amazing song!
Yes, the trivia masters are all Queen fans, it appears. Thanks for the additional info. I think a few have mentioned that song.
"Foreign Sand" is one of my favorite songs in the world. Incredibly beautiful on so many levels.
Good evening guys, hope you are both well. If you love 70/80s music, you could do worse than to have a listen to the Electric Light Orchestra, a whole catalogue of hits here in the UK and over the pond in the good old US. Fun, feel good music. Love your reactions ✌️🇬🇧🙏🎸😎
Thanks so much. We know some ELO, but there are likely a lot we don't know.
Hello. Let me start by saying I am really enjoying watching your reactions to videos.
There are so many songs I want to suggest you watch. But I will let you find them for yourselves. Just seeing your reaction is also letting me enjoy them in a new light. So thank you for sharing
We appreciate you watching and are glad you enjoy the videos!
Okay the story behind his mic stand, is early on during a show the thing broke and he ended up with the top part.
As for this medley, I saw them do this live on this tour at Madison Square Garden in September of 1980.
Awesome you got to see them live!
Love this
YES THERE IS A REASON. IF YOU WATCH THE MOVIE BOHEMIAN RAPSODY YOU'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM.
His first time he's on stage he goes to take the mic out of the stand and it was stuck so he pulled really hard and the entire mic come off the stand. He kept it that way.
Try bright eyes at the bottom of everything. A 2000 independent band not on radio much. Haven’t seen other reaction to them.
Thanks for killer Queen in love with my car. You guys are great
Thank you! We have not heard of them...so it would definitely be a first time reaction.
Roger......Super musiker...love his solo Projekte...
Roger and Brian just go no, screw freddie for an indulgence and it's wonderful. xxxx.
Your watch time on Live Aid will be 20+ minutes. Be sure you use the version with 2 British comics at beginning. Other version cuts off before end of concert
Good info. Thank you.
I love your guys’ Queen reactions! They’re definitely one of the best live bands and my favorite of all time. Another band you should check out is a rock band Greta Van Fleet. It’s a band where the singer and guitarist are twins, and their younger brother is on bass/keys, and a family friend on drums.They’re amazing live, and as a 21 year old it’s awesome to have an old soul band that’s so young where I can see them live. If you have the time, you should check out Greta Van Fleet’s “Age of Man” at the Red Rocks live! Another Queen recommendation I can give you is Play the Game live in Montreal, and a good one where Roger and Freddie duet is Action this Day live in Milton Keynes 1982.
Thank you so much! Never heard of them so that is definitely new to us.
Roger was completely self-taught on the drums.
Almost everything was said, thank you I love your Queen reactions, can't wait for the next one ❤
And I can enjoy Live Aid 1000 times too 😉
Thank you. Another Queen in about an hour from now. We appreciate you!
I love your Queen reactions. They truly are the best. ❤
You are too kind. Thank you!
You are right, Mrs Coach. How can you sit still and keep quiet? I could never figure that out.
Makes no sense at all...
mic story - early, early days, Freddie (who always loved to move all over the stage), pulled on a stationary mic to 'move it', but instead it broke. Finding he could now move freely around the stage to entertain, he decided to keep the 'broken mic' as a prop. It became one of his trademarks. A gimmic? sort of, yes. But it worked so well for him as he then played with the mic as a bat, a sword, a bow & arrow, a golf club, a male appendage - whatever he chose to use it for.
LOL...agreed it worked for him.
