Brian’s famous for his hair, it’s 100% natural :) Well that and the fact he built that guitar, wrote a ton of #1 singles, is one of the best guitarists to ever live and has a PHD in astrophysics lol
Freddie could play any instrument. He wrote songs, drew and painted, but his genius was his five octave range voice and his showmanship. His voice is the most recognizable rock singer voice in the world. RIP Freddie. We miss you!
When Freddie arches his back,it gives his lungs more air to hit those notes. It’s said he had a four octave vocal range.I just love this version of “Somebody to Love”.The ending is great,all timed together but doing their own thing. Another great live performance by Queen is Live Aid 1985. It’s about 20 minutes long.
Freddie was an amazing pianist. He could hear a tune once and then immediately play it. He began piano lessons around age 7 and continued all the time he was in boarding school in Bombay (Mumbai), India. He organized his first band at age 14 while still in school. He was so talented, he could even play the piano upside down. At one point, he used a piano as the headboard for his bed and when inspiration struck, he would raise his arms above his head while laying flat on his back, and play the tune running through his head. As for other instruments, once during a bath, Freddie had an idea for a song. He got someone to bring him a guitar while still in the tub, where proceeded to write the song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in about 10 minutes using only 3 different chords. Of course, he played the guitar on the recording and when they performed it live (i.e. during the Live Aid performance). He used to joke about it sometimes, claiming he only knew 3 chords. Other times he said he was so restricted while in the tub, there was only room to play 3 chords (and, of course, one time he swore that the damn guitar would only play 3 chords - LOL). He was also known to play the drums sometimes while Queen was in the studio but he never played on any recordings or on stage. I think he did it more for fun than anything else (or possibly to tease/annoy Roger).
Every time Freddie would sing it's like going to church. So pure w/incredible range. He made it seem effortless. Queen was one of my go to bands back in the day. Never get tired of listening to greatness!
Freddie played piano at the age of 7. It's pretty much the only instrument he's ever played with confidence (and even then, he's been quoted as saying that he's never been extremely confident on the piano). Great song and awesome reaction guys!
QUEEN is unprecedented talent, genius, uniqueness, & Freddie is the best front man ever!!! It is said that Freddie Mercury had one of the most recognizable voices in pop and rock history. His speaking voice fell in the baritone range, but he delivered most songs in the tenor range. His known vocal range extended from bass low F (F2) to soprano high F (F6) & a 4 octave range !!! One of my favorite bands & songs of all time, & thank you for sharing & your commentary, & above all, keeping this amazing band & songs alive ❤️ 💛 💙 💜
I hate that we lost such a talented man so young. But you know what, the guy lived the life he wanted to, he enjoyed his life, he left his mark (maybe a few marks) on the world, may God bless his soul everyday, and as you both said, may he Rest In Peace ❤
I've had the pleasure of hearing this live in person, TWICE!!! Both times were at Madison Square Garden in NYC, the 1st time was in 1980, the second was in 1982. So before and after this was recorded. Brians hair is natural, been that way since the early '70s when Queen formed, this was shot in Montreal in 1981.
Rolling Stones and other publications has Freddie as the greatest male rock singer in history! And, I agree, especially after seeing them live in 82’ as a teenager! Phenomenal!!! Out of body experience!
I love your reaction to not only my absolute favourite band ever but to the greatest singer and showman that ever lived, RIP FREDDIE WE STILL LOVE YOU. You two are a great couple who make me smile in these tragic times. I wish you both well and to stay safe. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I ain't gonna lie, it's so awesome to see so many black people discover Queen over the past year. Queen have been one of the biggest bands of all time for 40 years. But I guess they never really crossed over to a black audience.
@@imweakfordeaky that's true! When I was a kid in the 80s in Philly, my whole class, black & white, loved Another One Bites the Dust, who I thought Michael Jackson told them it would be a hit. And it was...
I just realized that the "OK LETS DO IT" may have originated right at 2:49 AND what a performance !! Look at Deacon grooving,Taylor high harmonies spinning sticks. and May blasting that home made guitar and hitting pretty high notes on the harmonies. All around this mat very well be the BEST life performance ever. And I doubt it that anyone will surpass it.
I saw this concert tour when it came to Toronto. It was FANTASTIC!!! One of the best if not the best concerts I have ever seen ... and I saw the Beatles.
@@walkingwounded3824 - Dr Brian May - PhD in astrophysics to be exact. Drummer, Roger - degree in biology. Bassist John Deacon - honors degree in electrical engineering and acoustics. Freddie - arts and graphic design.
@@walkingwounded3824 - Absolutely. That's what made their music so eclectic! They were also four totally different personalities with different ideas about what music they liked.
Thankyou for your reactions for I’ve just found you and I’ll be patient because it’s so hard to have a life raising kids & working, when all you want to do is jump down the Queen rabbit hole dear’s. Brian May’s hair is the real deal, he says he was born with it. The pure look of Joy on your faces is priceless. They have covered most types of music, thrash metal before it was a thing. Enjoy
Wow, you missed Freddie saying that they purposely change them so there is something new. If you don’t want change, just listen only to the studio version.
all members of Queen played several instruments - multiinstrmentalists- Roger just made an album during the look sown where he played all the instruments - and the singing by himself - it's called "the outsider".
Love watching your true reactions for Queen. I was very lucky to see them live in 1981 at the springfield civic center. I've seen all the bands. I have to tell you this was the best concert I've ever seen.
Brian May said Freddie loved Aretha Franklin and this song, along with being one of Freddie's personal favorites that he'd written was inspired by Aretha Franklin. He adored her voice.
oh wow, what a nice duo you are! Thanks for the reaction: I LOVE Queen. So many jewels to discover (you probably know some without you knowing it) Greetings from the Netherlands :) Oh, and a reporter once asked Freddie what his favorite instrument was and he reacted with "the audience" :)
The best description I ever heard of Freddie on stage was "Silly short microphone stand in one hand, the whole world in the other". I think that sums it up nicely.
@@maryannskinnerlittleladybu5290 Glad you liked it.😊 I'm just sorry I can't remember who said it. I think it was a DJ in the UK but I'm not sure. If anyone knows, do share.
It was really a blessing when I twice (1984 + 1986) had the opportunity to see them live in concert in Vienna, Austria - I will never forget that extraordnary performance they gave. I always liked them as a school kid. And now I even love them more than ever before. I miss Freddie, his talents, accurancy and awsome melodies. This year on November 24th it is already 30 years ago since Freddie passed away. R.I.P. Your Majesty ...
Love this song. My son would walk around the house singing it. I lost him to an IED in Afghanistan seven years ago. It brings me to tears everytime I hear it. I hope he knows I love him.
You guys are awesome!!! Please do Under Pressure Live! Freddie in the yellow leather jacket. You’ll definitely recognize the beat... it was famously sampled and that artist got sued by Queen and they won bc he didn’t credit them. You’ll know it as soon as you hear it and the performance is one of the best in history.
Freddie also played guitar in some of the songs, and Brian also plays piano. Glad to see you feel the joy in this song. You should explore all of the live performances of Freddie and Queen; they had a great range of styles and were multi-talented. And yes, Brian still has that gorgeous hair, only it is now quite gray.
LOVE your reactions and your recognition of this awesome man and his awesome band! Makes me feel all energized and happy and a lil bit smushy inside! Rock on peoples!!
That is not an 80s perm. Dr. Brian May (PhD in Astrophysics) is fortunate enough to have the same hair as Sir Isaac Newton. It's a 17th century perm. Brian's nickname amongst his guitarist friends is The Professor. John Deacon the bassist had an advanced degree in Acoustic Engineering. He built the amp Brian uses to record most every Queen song. It's called the Deacy Amp.
Great reaction. There is so many great queen songs. Bohemium rhapsody, don't stop me now, fat bottom girls, hammer to fall, killer queen, bicycle race, radio ga ga, we are the champions, and many many many more.
I feel like I've watched close to 100 reactions to this song. Everyone's response is different and unique in their own way. I never get tired of watching them, or queen for that matter. Thank you for sharing yours. Made me smile. :)
great couple . I've been a Queen fan for 40 years I like your reactions for the best band in the world and of course our beloved legend the one and only Freddie Mercury . ( Farrok Bulsara) .
The famous Freddie strut! I don't know if you did live Aide 85, it's a 20 minute set they do in front of 70-80 thousand people and he has the WHOLE audience eating out of the palm of his hands. They do what he says, when he says to do it, and stops when he says to stop. You want to see some strutting, this is the live performance you want to watch. It's what the movie was based around. And if you watch it, keep in mind also that this performance at live aide two things. Freddie had a severe throat infection and Docs advised him not to do live aide, but he ignored them and did it anyway and was not about to let his fans know he wasn't at 100%, and believe me, you couldn't tell. Secondly, this would be the first time his Father ever watched him perform, the first time he realized just how talented Freddie was and how many lives he touched, him and the whole band. I keep saying "Freddie" but the great thing about this band is they allowed one another to shine, it wasn't "just" about Freddie. Their balance with his vocals and the instruments was perfection and sharp. No band to this day can create the same unique sound that they did. Please if you haven't seen it, trust me it's not one you want to miss and worth the 20 or so minutes, you wont even see the time go by, and you wont want it to end!! lol Oh and Freddie also played guitar :) You guys are great, love the vid. Have subscribed :)
"but the great thing about this band is they allowed one another to shine, it wasn't "just" about Freddie. Their balance with his vocals and the instruments was perfection and sharp. No band to this day can create the same unique sound that they did." ......Bravo - well said!!!
Yep. It was not just Freddie. They were most definitely a 4 person band, each of them contributing to the sound. I love the riffing at the end of this performance. Only truly good musicians can improv like this with each other.
Love you guys! The way you really pay attention and appreciate Freddie! Although, take note of the awesome Roger, John and Brian, too! ;) :) From a life-long Freddie and Queen fan, thank you!
I’ve watched a few of your reactions and I just wanted to say what a beautiful natural loving couple you I hope you both have great success you deserve it
I am late in finding this, and I've watched dozens of reactions to this song, and you two have been the best one ever! I swear, your joy in this performance and how you got caught up in the sheer sexiness of this one just tickled me pink! LOL!
Queen isn't my favorite band but they gave one of the best performances of all time. Steph and jay, do yourselves a favor and check out their whole set at Live Aid. They absolutely fricken crushed the whole stadium and eclipsed every band that came after them.
Freddie learned piano at the British-style boarding school he attended as a boy in India, he could also play some guitar. Brian (lead guitarist with the big hair) also plays piano. Freddie LOVED Aretha Franklin, and i would have loved to see them do this song as a duet!
Oh btw you two are so cute together. I enjoy your reactions to music that I've been listening to my entire life. I was around when all these songs came on the radio for the first time. Lord have mercy! 🙏
Brian's natural hair! Step n Jay, I love you guys! If you liked Another One Bites The Dust, I think you'll love the Queen song Dragon Attack, too. Funky and rockin'. Amazing bass. There's a great live version from this same 1981 Montreal show. And the studio version of Dragon Attack is mind-blowing, too. Especially through headphones. Keep up the great work and let's all keep sharing Love and the best of humanity through great music!
You two are absolutely adorable! And Freddie Mercury is one of the best vocalists of our time - if not the best! ♥️♥️♥️ I love how you guys notice little nuances in the performances. Freddie is giving you a “thank you, darlings!” Just subbed - goin to get my sip on!
great reaction! Queen at Live Aid for Africa is rated the number one rock performance of all time. It had 75,000 people there and simulcast to an estimated billon people. .. if you wikipedia Freddie Mercury it explains. Thanks again!
YAY! This is one of my fave Queen songs & performances ever! GREAT CHOICE & REACTION! U two are so damn adorable & awesome!! And Jay is Rockin the Freddie Mustache. So awesome! Factoids: Freddie had 4 extra teeth. It definitely gave him a unique look but when he was younger he was very self conscious. When he was pressured to remove them he chose not to bc he was worried it would effect his voice. True dedication to his art. Also he got tons of criticism for his new mustache look. They literally took a poll on it and the mustache didn't win. Lol. But Freddie kept it anyway. Now it is a cultural icon in and of itself. Hahaaa! Just some fun info for you guys. You should check out *"Queen - Full Live Aid Concert".* It's like 28 min long but many people in the business still say it is the best live performance in history. Also...no pressure from me on reacting to my requests. You have great content & I figure you both have a lives too so just keep up what you guys are doin. People need to remember that "Patience is a virtue."✌🏼🎶💞
Freddie also played the guitar. While he himself always depreciated his abilities on the guitar, others like Brian May said he's actually pretty capable. He also composed several songs on the guitar like his Elvis Presley tribute "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" or the early heavy metal song "Ogre Battle".
I just subscribed and I am really enjoying your Queen Commentaries. The most moving, to me, is Mother Love. Freddie was recorded on his death bed singing various lyrics. He sang every phrase just three times. Thats it. He knew he would never see finished product. One day, he said, I'm tired. We can work on this tomorrow. He never did. Brian May sings the last verse. Its chilling.
Went though you list and I didn't see a reaction to Queen at Live Aid. It is rated as the best live rock performance in history and you will Freddy play his guitar.
Hi, am new and I just want to say OMG I love both of you, you guys really get into the music you dance and are adorable together, this is one of many songs I love, all four of them are very intelligent they all went to college and have degrees but music was their passion,for sure I will make request! Thank you❗💜

You forgot that he's a dead ringer for Isaac Newton.
Did he really get his PHD? I thought it was his undergrad study.
will nope he has a full doctorate and has written some famous thesis’s on astrophysics
And he does not use a picks, uses one pound coins
@@jonathanmoran8932 Brian said that he uses the old fashioned 6 pence, but you are right about the pick
Me again, Freddie played the piano, guitar, the audience. His voice was his most impressive instrument.
You’ve dipped into one of the greatest live rock bands in history. Nobody could grab hold of an audience and lock them in like these guys.
Freddie could play any instrument. He wrote songs, drew and painted, but his genius was his five octave range voice and his showmanship. His voice is the most recognizable rock singer voice in the world. RIP Freddie. We miss you!
When Freddie arches his back,it gives his lungs more air to hit those notes.

Another great live performance by Queen is Live Aid 1985. It’s about 20 minutes long.
Freddie could play the guitar, piano and his beautiful vocals. When asked what's your favourite instrument, he replied "the audience".
Once, when asked what instrument he played, he replied, “The audience.”
I'm glad I found you. Queen is arguably the best band ever.
The drummer Roger Taylor had also amazing vocals he did the backing vocals
He started the white glove for Michael. MJ was a huge fan. Freddie played piano, guitar, drums, and sang every genre. The GOAT.
Small jeans!! 🤣 And you're so right, NOBODY strutted like Freddie!! ❤👑
There will never be another Freddy Mercury
Freddie was an amazing pianist. He could hear a tune once and then immediately play it. He began piano lessons around age 7 and continued all the time he was in boarding school in Bombay (Mumbai), India. He organized his first band at age 14 while still in school.
He was so talented, he could even play the piano upside down. At one point, he used a piano as the headboard for his bed and when inspiration struck, he would raise his arms above his head while laying flat on his back, and play the tune running through his head.
As for other instruments, once during a bath, Freddie had an idea for a song. He got someone to bring him a guitar while still in the tub, where proceeded to write the song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in about 10 minutes using only 3 different chords. Of course, he played the guitar on the recording and when they performed it live (i.e. during the Live Aid performance).
He used to joke about it sometimes, claiming he only knew 3 chords. Other times he said he was so restricted while in the tub, there was only room to play 3 chords (and, of course, one time he swore that the damn guitar would only play 3 chords - LOL).
He was also known to play the drums sometimes while Queen was in the studio but he never played on any recordings or on stage. I think he did it more for fun than anything else (or possibly to tease/annoy Roger).
I really enjoyed your comments and knowledge about Freddie, thanks...
This live performance is insane! Not only Freddie but the all band. Listen to the drummer’s high notes!
Let us not forget the drummer Roger Taylor's amazing vocals... I loved this reaction 😎
Every time Freddie would sing it's like going to church. So pure w/incredible range. He made it seem effortless. Queen was one of my go to bands back in the day. Never get tired of listening to greatness!
Beautiful reaction. Freddie took us to church and mopped the floor with us. Your soul is forever, Freddie! I"m glad to be in the family. Peace!
The vocals in this song just bring me to heaven and back all while my soul has goosebumps!
They made songs that will be played forever. We are the championship. Another on bites the dust, we will rock you. Good voice.
No question the best live band ever to grace the stage.
Freddie played piano at the age of 7. It's pretty much the only instrument he's ever played with confidence (and even then, he's been quoted as saying that he's never been extremely confident on the piano).
Great song and awesome reaction guys!
QUEEN is unprecedented talent, genius, uniqueness, & Freddie is the best front man ever!!! It is said that Freddie Mercury had one of the most recognizable voices in pop and rock history. His speaking voice fell in the baritone range, but he delivered most songs in the tenor range. His known vocal range extended from bass low F (F2) to soprano high F (F6) & a 4 octave range !!! One of my favorite bands & songs of all time, & thank you for sharing & your commentary, & above all, keeping this amazing band & songs alive ❤️ 💛 💙 💜
I hate that we lost such a talented man so young. But you know what, the guy lived the life he wanted to, he enjoyed his life, he left his mark (maybe a few marks) on the world, may God bless his soul everyday, and as you both said, may he Rest In Peace ❤
It's not a perm. That's Brian's natural hair 😁 I adore this performance. My favorite live from them.
Its up there, though I'd put White Queen at the Hammersmith equal to this.
Why is everybody confusing perm with wig?
@@znk0r I'm pretty sure they mean perm. And it's not a wig either. Like I said, it's his natural hair.

Steph is right that's the Freddie strut no one else can do that he owns the stage and the crowd you both do good reaction videos I appreciate it
The problem with queen is constantly changing your favorite song.😂
It's fact that they are so versatile they can change it impromptu and make it sound good everytime
Wow, you missed Freddie saying that they purposely change them so there is something new. If you don’t want change, just listen only to the studio version.
Well Killer Queen was a top won for me. But i am a jojo fan . . .soooooo
@g 77 it's a good problem ;)
Masterpiece.

This is by far my favorite reaction to this one. So good.
Freddie never had a singin' lesson but he had a lot of piano lessons and he's truly a great pianist.

I keep saying "Freddie" but the great thing about this band is they allowed one another to shine, it wasn't "just" about Freddie. Their balance with his vocals and the instruments was perfection and sharp. No band to this day can create the same unique sound that they did. Please if you haven't seen it, trust me it's not one you want to miss and worth the 20 or so minutes, you wont even see the time go by, and you wont want it to end!! lol Oh and Freddie also played guitar :) You guys are great, love the vid. Have subscribed :)
"but the great thing about this band is they allowed one another to shine, it wasn't "just" about Freddie. Their balance with his vocals and the instruments was perfection and sharp. No band to this day can create the same unique sound that they did." ......Bravo - well said!!!
Yep. It was not just Freddie. They were most definitely a 4 person band, each of them contributing to the sound. I love the riffing at the end of this performance. Only truly good musicians can improv like this with each other.
Love you guys! The way you really pay attention and appreciate Freddie! Although, take note of the awesome Roger, John and Brian, too! ;) :) From a life-long Freddie and Queen fan, thank you!
I’ve been anxiously awaiting you to react to this one!
And I’ll try to be patient! Hahaha
I’ve watched a few of your reactions and I just wanted to say what a beautiful natural loving couple you I hope you both have great success you deserve it
You guys are so likable & loved your reactions!!! Brian's hair was naturally curly, and he was quite famous for it!!!!
I am late in finding this, and I've watched dozens of reactions to this song, and you two have been the best one ever! I swear, your joy in this performance and how you got caught up in the sheer sexiness of this one just tickled me pink! LOL!

Awesome video..Freddie plays the guitar in their song "crazy little thing called love"
Terrific to see you too, gorgeous duo blending with the legacy of this song...
Queen isn't my favorite band but they gave one of the best performances of all time. Steph and jay, do yourselves a favor and check out their whole set at Live Aid. They absolutely fricken crushed the whole stadium and eclipsed every band that came after them.
Great reaction to a great band I’m so glade I grew up with queen thank you for sharing
Freddie learned piano at the British-style boarding school he attended as a boy in India, he could also play some guitar. Brian (lead guitarist with the big hair) also plays piano. Freddie LOVED Aretha Franklin, and i would have loved to see them do this song as a duet!
Also John Deacon plays a piano, He played one in your my best friend.
@@adamchowdhury9774 And in Spread your Wings
@@MatmoeLP - John also played lead and rhythm guitar on a couple of studio songs and wrote several of their biggest hits.
Freddie started learning piano at the age of 7.
Oh btw you two are so cute together. I enjoy your reactions to music that I've been listening to my entire life. I was around when all these songs came on the radio for the first time. Lord have mercy! 🙏
Brian's natural hair! Step n Jay, I love you guys! If you liked Another One Bites The Dust, I think you'll love the Queen song Dragon Attack, too. Funky and rockin'. Amazing bass. There's a great live version from this same 1981 Montreal show. And the studio version of Dragon Attack is mind-blowing, too. Especially through headphones. Keep up the great work and let's all keep sharing Love and the best of humanity through great music!
Yes!! Dragon Attack!!! Slinky, sexy, sultry @ Montreal '81 !!!🐉🤪🤘
must say i find it hard to beleive these people not seen queen before, one off the greatest rock bands ever....
You two are absolutely adorable!
And Freddie Mercury is one of the best vocalists of our time - if not the best! ♥️♥️♥️
I love how you guys notice little nuances in the performances. Freddie is giving you a “thank you, darlings!”
Just subbed - goin to get my sip on!
I love seeing the pure joy on both of your faces when Freddie hits those notes.
Yes, the hair is very real. Brian was known for his musicianship and his beautiful naturally curly hair :-)
great reaction! Queen at Live Aid for Africa is rated the number one rock performance of all time. It had 75,000 people there and simulcast to an estimated billon people. .. if you wikipedia Freddie Mercury it explains. Thanks again!
YAY! This is one of my fave Queen songs & performances ever! GREAT CHOICE & REACTION! U two are so damn adorable & awesome!! And Jay is Rockin the Freddie Mustache. So awesome! Factoids: Freddie had 4 extra teeth. It definitely gave him a unique look but when he was younger he was very self conscious. When he was pressured to remove them he chose not to bc he was worried it would effect his voice. True dedication to his art. Also he got tons of criticism for his new mustache look. They literally took a poll on it and the mustache didn't win. Lol. But Freddie kept it anyway. Now it is a cultural icon in and of itself. Hahaaa! Just some fun info for you guys. You should check out *"Queen - Full Live Aid Concert".* It's like 28 min long but many people in the business still say it is the best live performance in history. Also...no pressure from me on reacting to my requests. You have great content & I figure you both have a lives too so just keep up what you guys are doin. People need to remember that "Patience is a virtue."✌🏼🎶💞
Thanks for the extra info. about Freddie....
Rest in peace Freddy. The greatest singer and performer to ever live.
Looks like you two found a Queen to love.
I love this reaction, you’ve found someone to love, cherish it 👏👏👏👏
Freddie also played the guitar.
While he himself always depreciated his abilities on the guitar, others like Brian May said he's actually pretty capable.
He also composed several songs on the guitar like his Elvis Presley tribute "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" or the early heavy metal song "Ogre Battle".
I just subscribed and I am really enjoying your Queen Commentaries. The most moving, to me, is Mother Love. Freddie was recorded on his death bed singing various lyrics. He sang every phrase just three times. Thats it. He knew he would never see finished product. One day, he said, I'm tired. We can work on this tomorrow. He never did. Brian May sings the last verse. Its chilling.
Went though you list and I didn't see a reaction to Queen at Live Aid. It is rated as the best live rock performance in history and you will Freddy play his guitar.
Loved this reaction! He plays guitar in Crazy little thing called love.
You’re both lovely. Watch LIVE AID 1985, the best concert ever!
Hi, am new and I just want to say OMG I love both of you, you guys really get into the music you dance and are adorable together, this is one of many songs I love, all four of them are very intelligent they all went to college and have degrees but music was their passion,for sure I will make request! Thank you❗💜
