@@mariagrant2072 The Queen Effect goes by generation, too!

If you are still wondering, Lady Godiva was a medieval noble woman who rode through the streets of Coventry, England naked. The people were suffering from her husband’s excessive taxes, he said he would repeal them if she rode naked through the streets, which she did! 🇬🇧❤️ great reaction!
You wondered about Lady Godiva?...she was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who lived in the eleventh century...her husband imposed a tax on his tenants...so she rode naked through the streets of Coventry to force her husband to stop the taxes...there is a statue of her in Coventry...ask Google🤩
You]re absolutely right about the originality of the lyrics...These guys were amazing musicians and song writers all in the song writer's Hall of Fame...they were all college educated with the main guitarist a Doctorate in astro-physics...two of them were real family men...more Queen pls....want to see Freddie in action react to UNDER PRESSURE and ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST live at Wembley...and of coarse the greatest live performance SOMEBODY TO LOVE , live in Montreal......
I spent my 24th B-Day at the Queen Concert in Montreal. We drove 5000 miles return from Alberta to Quebec. Sadly, Freddie also passed on my birthday 10 years later in 1991. That concert, to this day, is the most memorable one I've attended.
Queen absolutely amazing performance, Queen have sold 300 million albums worldwide, all the band members have written no1 hits, there greatest hits album is still the best selling album of all time in the Uk 🇬🇧! Absolutely amazing band live , no Auto tune in these days!
Queen does not usually block their videos so don't worry about that too much. I love this song , it takes me to my happy place. These guys were and are awesome writers, their music is timeless. On Queen's live stuff, there is a lot of movement on the stage, that is kind of their signature, that and getting the audience into it. Queen is actually better live than on these official videos. I love this band! not a bad song in their catalog and so many hits that you actually know but had no idea who wrote them and performed them. Thank you for your reaction.
Freddie was THE man. Loved him and Queen. He had so much charisma and sex appeal. Unfortunately he was stopped by his horrible death. My heart broke 💔 that day. I still miss him so much. He was a supersonic man. 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Love you Freddie. May you rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤
Sometimes I love being old. I got to grow up with these guys and so many great bands! Keep up your exploration, you'll love it. And yes, its simple because these guys have true talent. No auto tune, no pretension.
Yesssss. We had the best music, awesome fast muscle cars, and us gals took over wearing the guy’s Levi’s until the fashion industry started making blue jeans for women. (do you zipper or button?) For his sake, I hope he finds Led Zeppelin soon.
Queen lost fans when rumours first came out that Freddie was gay, and again when they release the video for I Want To Break Free because they were all dressed in drag. I can’t believe anyone would cut themselves off from such amazing and beautiful music. Thank you for reacting to Queen.
Guaranteed, if you jump into the Queen catalog, you will have a musical experience of a lifetime! And yes, your channel will grow with some of the most amazing people you'll ever want to meet, Queen fans old and new! I absolutely love watching and listening to folks like you discover Queen & Freddie Mercury for the first time. ❤ your reaction! I bet you didn't know that all 4 in the band are highly educated as well, the lead guitar Brian May is an astrophysicist, yep,, Dr Brian May best guitarist IMHO in the world.
Queen are Freddie Mercury lead singer & piano diploma in graphic art & design, Roger Taylor drummer & vocals degree in Biology, Dr Brian May lead guitar & vocals PHD in astrophysics, John Deacon bass guitar first class honours degree in electronics best band EVER x you should try some live Queen 😊Liar, In The Lap Of The Gods and In The Lap of the Gods Revisited (same title two completely different songs), Stone Cold Crazy all from The Rainbow 1974 White Queen from Hammersmith Odeon 1975 their 20 minute Live Aid set from Wembley 1985, Somebody To Love, Tie Your Mother Down both from Montreal 1981
This song has been used in countless commercials, TV shows, movies, and other media!! Queen is everywhere!! WE WILL ROCK YOU, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST …. My favorite song is SOMEBODY TO LOVE ❤️ Check it out live in Montreal 1981. 🔥
That's two, about a hundred more to go! lol This was voted the "Most Feel Good" song ever! Be sure and check them out live and in concert. You are in for a real treat. I am enjoying your reactions to one of the greatest rock bands in existance. Your smile makes me smile.
100? I watch another reactor who is on about 215 and he still has a long way to go! One of the best songs to open the windows of your car, crank it up and gooooooooo!
The beauty of Queens music is that it was made to be sung by crowds or just groups of people. When you have 50,000 people singing this in unison it’s the most magical, positive and soul lifting experience imaginable
Hi Greg, Brian May was lead guitarist and is still playing. Freddie was a genius song writer. He was magnificent and will always be missed. So good to see your smiling face and appreciation for Freddie and his brilliant band. Xxxxx
Queen are legendary. The four members are perfection. I would suggest “somebody to love”. And always, always review their live performances. That is the true test. If a band cannot be on point in a live performance then they are shit.
Here's a fun facts about Freddie since you are so into Queen. He has a serious overbite because he has extra teeth and would NOT get it fixed, afraid it would affect his voice. The way he held his mouth, his head, made his sounds higher. Also he had ventricular folds on his voice box that were unusual that he used although he had not had voice lessons to learn how to use them. Unfortunately, with all the touring he developed nodes on his voice box and in later years his voice, if over- used would crack. He was told not to perform Live Aid and went out and gave the performance of his life. It was said they stole the show. They were on the downside of their career, and this brought them back on the map. Sadly, when on tour, Freddie got the diagnosis...Aids. But, when he got sick, he had rested voice and could still sing those notes. He was a performer until the end. And we still have Freddie's wonderful voice with us.
Freddie had the greatest rock star voice EVER. There are other amazing singers as well but we all know they couldn’t top Freddie. And he had the most amazing charisma, swagger and stage presence. The band was so tight as well. Such an awesome song and group. Great review.
Please, please, please react to Somebody To Love live in Montreal 1981. You won’t be disappointed. Roger Taylor the drummer has an outstanding voice as well
The best feel-good song of my life, along with "Sultans of Swing" from Dire Straits, these are just making me happy anytime, anywhere. Music is the best!
Queen doesn’t usually stay in place. Watch any concert and you will see a show like no other!! Freddie controls a 100k crowd of people like there were 10. Check out Wembley 1985. A show like no other!! Of course Their live aid concert was considered the best rock concert ever!
Their lyrics are so creative. When I was a kid music and books were a way for me to learn things that school didn’t teach. If I didn’t understand something in lyrics I’d ask my parents. If they didn’t know or want to explain, I would look it up. All my books had notes in the margins for words I had to look up. Music is such an important thing for us all and especially our children. I love watching reaction channels and seeing people react to all different kinds of music. It’s so wonderful when we can open up to things we’re not used to. Sorry for the rambling message
ok, for the next songs you HAVE to do the live versions, especially from the '1985 Live Aid at Wembley Stadium'. you'll seriously be pissed if you don't. trust us 🌟 ps. it's kinda reductive to say this, but it sorta gives perspective: the saying goes "the only other person who rivaled Freddie Mercury in showmanship was Michael Jackson".
You should check out some live queen and you'll regret saying they don't jump around the stage 🤣 Freddie doesn't stop dancing 🤣 please react to one vision live at Wembley, new subscriber 👍
Freddie was a choreographer's nightmare. His spirit had to be behind the wheel in order to take off. It was the only way he knew how to perform. Queen found their match together.
Hey Greg! Just subbed, keep the Queen tunes coming! Oh, and welcome to the rabbit hole... you call them a "tight" band: Even though Freddie died 31 years ago, the band is still together and touring!! Queen and Adam Lambert are on tour now, and just played at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!! Another song you might recognize is "Under Pressure" or "The Show Must Go On"... both Queen classics. Another song to acknowledge their talents is an old song of theirs called "Liar" and "Stone Cold Crazy"... thanks again for great reactions...blessings.
In an interview with Brian May, he revealed that he had mixed feeling about the song, written by Freddie. May said it was about Freddie's "stuff". They were in the cusp of Freddie and Queen's fame. Funny that Queen plus Lambert play it regularly. The lyrics are R rated; I'm a se- machine waiting to reload.....It is on a commercial now very watered down.
Dragon Attack and Another One Bites the Dust both live from Montreal concert 1981 are excellent. The band encouraged audience participation. When you watch their Live Aid 1985 performance, you will see the audience of 72,000 at Wembley, London singing every song along with Freddie, and his "call and response" with the audience is hard to resist joining in as though you are there with them. Live Aid was sent around the World by satellite with an estimated audience of 1.5 to 2 billion watching. It had most of the top bands, each given just 18 minutes to perform, to raise relief funds for famine in Ethiopia. Queens usual concerts were about 2 hours long. We are enjoying your discovery and appreciation of Queen. Well done!
Queens music always makes me happy and sad because Freddie was gone too young. He was something so different and wonderful but they are all wonderful. Each member was a star in their own right.
The whole band...Freddie, Roger, John and Brian were amazing songwriters, musicians and singers. Freddie was the perfect front man..with his stage presence. My older sisters had The Beatles ❤ and we all had Queen. ❤ 🇬🇧xx
So much to discover with Queen. All four of them wrote great songs, all of them sang (Freddie had 90% of the lead vocals, but the harmonies were great, too). And for the first seven albums (through "Jazz") it was all natural instruments, no mechanical drums or synthesizers. Pure brilliance Everybody will name the big hits, so let me campaign for a few lesser-known songs, all by Brian May (guitar) "Brighton Rock" (on which Brian invents his famous speed-panning guitar technique) "Now I'm Here" (do this live, perhaps from Houston in 1975 or London in '79; Freddie really interacts with the audience) "Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together)". I keep trying to describe this and failing, so let me just say "love song" and let you discover the rest. "The Prophet's Song". (Brian's equivalent to Freddie's "Bohemian Rhapsody' only longer and even crazier. You'll love it.) Keep digging!
Absolutely love watching you respect and enjoy Queen! My fave since forever (saw them live in 1977 for $7). Albums used to come with liner notes and it was so cool to sit with my dictionary every time a new Queen album came out. You are spot on about how the performance is focused on the music. It’s a shame big venue music is so over produced and focused on solo acts now. Back in the day it was so much more about bands, appreciating the contribution of each musician. They were musicians, not musician/dancers. I recommend you check out their song “Killer Queen”-my favorite lyrics (from their more commercially successful songs anyway). Keep enjoying!
You really need to find the Live Aid performance where Freddie is doing the sing along that they called "Day oh" It was connected to the song Radio Ga Ga
He was well educated..the same as the rest of the band......he grew up with docter who..and star trek..haha...he knew the way of the world.....Legend..we miss you.
genuine appreciation, exactly what reaction should be... amazing artists - the whole band. they do great concert in Montreal. check it out! first time visitor and i'll be back!
You’re right about things being more simple back then. Just good music with truly talented musicians. No strobe lights, no computers, no flames, no dancers. Music was better back then and so were the concerts!
This song was my first true Queen exposure when I was 10 or 11 because I had to play it for band (I played 3rd trumpet for that). I read my music and decided to listen to Don’t Stop Me Now’s actual recording. Ever since then, I’ve been in love with Queen.
You need to show the concert for Live AID. ALL OF IT MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS AND YES QUEEN WAS THERE. THE WHOLE SHOW WAS 🔥. MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 💕BRANDI MODRAK 💕❤
If you like Queen song lyrics, my faves are “Seven Seas of Rhye,” “The Fairy Feller’s Master Stroke,” “Death on Two Legs,” “Keep Yourself Alive,” and “Stone Cold Crazy.” Pull these up on a site where the lyrics scroll along. These are way lesser known songs but also some of my favorites musically too.

Freddie Mercury was a sophisticated songwriter, he often wrote unusual lyrics, he was very creative and unique many ways.
They all were.

Freddie was Queen No question about it! Ofc Brian, John and Roger too. Best band ever! So outstanding🎉
He was absolutely fantastic. I don't think I've ever met anyone who disliked Queen.

Thanks for the explanation! I honestly had no idea who she was until now! Thanks!
Thank you. I can't believe how many reactors don't know of Lady Godiva.
And out respect for her and the fact she was doing it for their wellbeing the people turned around and did not watch. Or so the story goes.
It's also where the term "peeping Tom" comes from as Tom apparently had a lil look at her riding past 👀 😂
Thank you for introducing a 52yo black man to this song. “They call me Mr. Fahrenheit”, classic!! 😂🖖🏿
Seriously hope you've listened to more Queen since this. Truly iconic, singular band.

You'd enjoy "Somebody To Love" live in Montreal and "Queen Live Aid". They stole the show.
Freddie was great, he had no boundaries. that is why he was such a good front man.
More queen, they’re best band of all time and Freddie Mercury is the 🐐
Tottenham get battered everywhere they go but yes we can all agree that Freddie is the GOAT

Scientists decided this is one of the happiest songs ever. Not sure how, but I won't disagree.
Loved queen since I was very little my biggest regret is never seeing Freddie live .

You sound like a great teacher!❤

And their performance at live aid brought alot of them back,and new fans
But a lot of us stuck with them. Most true Queen fans didn't give a rats ass. Besides it was always there if you cared to read the subtext.

Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe -Barcelona Watch Queen Live at Wimbley first and then Freddy and Montserrat mind blown trust me
If the emotion of pure joy were condensed into a song, this would be it.

You should review Queen's performance at Live Aid. It is considered the best live rock performance in history.
Try 'Somebody To Love by Queen - Live in Montreal' :) You will be amazed!
You are so fun to listen to music with.....love how you react.....so amazing

Dragon Attack and Another One Bites the Dust both live from Montreal concert 1981 are excellent. The band encouraged audience participation. When you watch their Live Aid 1985 performance, you will see the audience of 72,000 at Wembley, London singing every song along with Freddie, and his "call and response" with the audience is hard to resist joining in as though you are there with them. Live Aid was sent around the World by satellite with an estimated audience of 1.5 to 2 billion watching.

We are enjoying your discovery and appreciation of Queen. Well done!

So much to discover with Queen. All four of them wrote great songs, all of them sang (Freddie had 90% of the lead vocals, but the harmonies were great, too). And for the first seven albums (through "Jazz") it was all natural instruments, no mechanical drums or synthesizers. Pure brilliance
Everybody will name the big hits, so let me campaign for a few lesser-known songs, all by Brian May (guitar)
"Brighton Rock" (on which Brian invents his famous speed-panning guitar technique)
"Now I'm Here" (do this live, perhaps from Houston in 1975 or London in '79; Freddie really interacts with the audience)
"Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together)". I keep trying to describe this and failing, so let me just say "love song" and let you discover the rest.
"The Prophet's Song". (Brian's equivalent to Freddie's "Bohemian Rhapsody' only longer and even crazier. You'll love it.)
Keep digging!
If you want to hear a whole crowd singing it look it up on a greenday gig it's fantastic.
Absolutely love watching you respect and enjoy Queen! My fave since forever (saw them live in 1977 for $7). Albums used to come with liner notes and it was so cool to sit with my dictionary every time a new Queen album came out. You are spot on about how the performance is focused on the music. It’s a shame big venue music is so over produced and focused on solo acts now. Back in the day it was so much more about bands, appreciating the contribution of each musician. They were musicians, not musician/dancers. I recommend you check out their song “Killer Queen”-my favorite lyrics (from their more commercially successful songs anyway). Keep enjoying!
You really need to find the Live Aid performance where Freddie is doing the sing along that they called "Day oh" It was connected to the song Radio Ga Ga
He was well educated..the same as the rest of the band......he grew up with docter who..and star trek..haha...he knew the way of the world.....Legend..we miss you.
That was real talent!
Great reaction, If you’d like to try a different genre, try Cool Cat, it’s sort of smooth jazz & Freddie sings in falsetto for the whole song.
You are in for a hell of a ride with Queen! Enjoy it, I'll gladly come along.
There. Will never be. Another freddie mercury his voice was pure gold ❤️❤️
I absolutely love Freddie Mercury!!!! ❤️
genuine appreciation, exactly what reaction should be... amazing artists - the whole band. they do great concert in Montreal. check it out! first time visitor and i'll be back!
Stone cold crazy is my fav! Well worth a listen. Queen is amazing! Freddy is the GOAT!
Saw Queen on their Fat Bottom Girls Tour 77/78. Girl from school and i screamed the whole time in between singing of course. good times!TY
Love your laugh, do some more live, Queen is always better live, Montreal 1981 : everything is good in this concert
You are spot on with your analysis about performance then and now.
Enjoy your observations
You’re right about things being more simple back then. Just good music with truly talented musicians. No strobe lights, no computers, no flames, no dancers. Music was better back then and so were the concerts!
I love how happy you are listening to this genius!
This song was my first true Queen exposure when I was 10 or 11 because I had to play it for band (I played 3rd trumpet for that). I read my music and decided to listen to Don’t Stop Me Now’s actual recording. Ever since then, I’ve been in love with Queen.
Btw love it hair down... Love yoh notice the lyrics. That makes this 56 year old very happy
You need to show the concert for Live AID. ALL OF IT MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS AND YES QUEEN WAS THERE. THE WHOLE SHOW WAS 🔥. MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 💕BRANDI MODRAK 💕❤
Welcome to Queen and beloved Freddie.
If you like Queen song lyrics, my faves are “Seven Seas of Rhye,” “The Fairy Feller’s Master Stroke,” “Death on Two Legs,” “Keep Yourself Alive,” and “Stone Cold Crazy.” Pull these up on a site where the lyrics scroll along. These are way lesser known songs but also some of my favorites musically too.
