The guitarist is Brian May, now Dr May, PhD in Astrophysics. He 'temporarily' stopped is studies to see if Queen would be successful....then completed them about 30 years later!. That's what I would call a 'gap' year.
Queen is a British rock group formed in 1971 consisting of: Freddie Mercury - Lead vocalist & piano John Deacon - Bass guitar Roger Taylor - Drummer & vocalist Dr. Brian May - Lead guitar & vocalist All the members of Queen were extremely talented musicians who not only performed but each member wrote song and each member had hit singles that they wrote. Freddie Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody & is responsible for the arrangement.
YESSS... Freddie Mercury recorded himself singing each of five parts, then overlayed them together. (Even though the video shows all four band members lip syncing during that part.) Freddie was well-known for doing that: Writing multiple harmony parts and recording himself singing the different parts... as well as writing complicated harmonies for all of the band members to sing, which is why Queen has that unique sound.
Thank you for your great reaction to this amazing masterpiece of a song by Queen. Imagine how we felt in 1975 and 1976 when we heard it for the first time! No one had ever heard anything like it! The Queen rabbit hole is a different one, and to experience a beautiful song in their early days I would recommend "White Queen" live at the Rainbow or live at the Hammersmith Odeon! Enjoy your journey!
Can you imagine this is a 1975 song? Queen 👑👑👑👑 are the best band ever, the real deal, real talent, real voices (at this time there was no auto tunes), real musicians. If you dare enter the realm of Queen, they will blow your mind 💖💖💖💖 Welcome to the kingdom of Queen 👑👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@ReaxionBank Who knew, right? Still so amazing, and so up to date, modern. Queen are amazing, 4 musicians so talented. But of course, this one is all Freddie Mercury's baby (even the harmonies in the beginning of the video)🤩🎤👑 I love this song, even though it's a bit older than me 😎😁 Queen rule , and Freddie Mercury is the King 🎤👑
I loved your reaction!! It’s exactly how I feel every time I listen to Queen music 👑They are my most favorite band in the world. Facts - Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano) Brian May (guitarist, vocals) Roger Taylor (drums, vocals) and John Deacon (bass). Freddie voted (still) best rock vocalist in the world. Brian voted #1 guitarist by Guitar Magazine surpassing Jimi Hendrix. All members of Queen in the Song Writer’s Hall of Fame & Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. All members have written #1 hits & you’ve probably heard a few of them not knowing it was Queen. Queen has a STAR on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!! Queen is one of the top four best selling artists of all time!! Recently, the U.K. voted Queen #1 to #2 Beatles! They have over 15 albums not including their solo work & live performances!! Yes my dear, you’re in for a treat!! Are you ready for the Queen rabbit hole? The Queen fans will be your tour guide! 😃 SOMEBODY TO LOVE live in Montreal ‘81.
Great reaction lass, I've been on the Queen journey over 50 years so you've a lot of listening to do............An amazing live performance is "White Queen" @ The Hammersmith 1975...........it will blow you away,
Wonderful Reaction 👍😊 This song by Queen is an emotional experience of epic proportions. I first experienced it when it came out and I still get goose bumps and chills whenever I listen to it 😃
I love watching reaction videos to this performance, its sensory overload, its a rock song, its an Opera, its a ballad, Its a 3 Act play, they will still be studying this performance in 200 years in Music Schools.
Another great reaction to hearing the greatest Rock & Roll song ever by one of the greatest bands of all time. It crosses all races, nationalities and favorite music genres. I've been watching these reactions for hours now and am still getting a thrill out of the acknowledgments of young people to this masterpiece from OUR era. Rock & Roll forever!!
HI Honey, That was a FANTASTIC reaction!!! I've subscribed just because you reacted to Queen. (Freddie Mercury & Queen are pretty much ALL that I watch/listen to.) I sincerely HOPE that you will react to MORE Queen in the future.... If you need suggestions/links to videos that will NOT be copyright blocked, just ASK!
This was credited as the first REAL Music Video. Up to then, all music videos were made by whoever management had a contract with and done on the cheap. Old movie clips or cartoons were put in and sometimes even shots of the band. Queen went iutside their then management and had a Sports film crew shoot this video. They wanted a Quality video to use on Top of the Pops (British TV Music program) while they went on tour. There was many requests for the video to be played over and iver on that program! There had never been anything created like it. Other bands began to do more creative videos and a just few years later MTV was born!
Thanks, Reaxion Bank! (can I call you "Banky"? - lol) -- yes, this is a gorgeous and unique song - I love your reaction, and hope you will listen to more Queen! All the best to you and yours! -oh, and by the way - thanks for listening with headphones! I'm sure after hearing it that way, you realize how much you might have missed without them!
Number one in UK Christmas 1975. The record company thought it would not sell as it was too long - remember that 45 singles were 4 minutes long. The video, which they have remastered, originally cost 500 pounds. Also, stereo sound was a new thing . . . I made my own stereo amplifier at that time. Sort of opera rock, but a unique song about Freddie killing his old self but at the same time making his mum cry. The silloette of the man is, perhaps the new man .
Great reaction. I haven’t ever considered listening to covers of this song. Idk it’s too personal to Freddie. It’s considered one of the best rock songs ever written and it’s almost 50 years old.
Your reactions are priceless. Welcome to our world. I grew up with this music. And, do you want to know something?? It's MUCH better now than then. Perhaps, just maybe it's because we get to see the younger crowds reactions. It was a damn hood time back then.
Queen or Angelina Jordan? No veo comparaciones racionales. Queen simplemente mágico, hasta excitante. Saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala en Centro América.
He was born with i think 4 additional insizers in his mouth.. his teeth stick out more which increases his vocal range. He was able to do opera. And he never in his life had piano lessons or vocal lessons.
Congratulations for a great reaction to a epic song. You appreciate voice, guitar, lyrics... I think you like and enjoy good emotional songs so i suggest you to react to "Comfortably numb" from Pink Floyd (if you want, search the live version pulse concert 1994). That song always puts some tears in my eyes... but it's because guitar and music of that song touches your soul.
OI GURIA, NÃO SEI SE VOCÊ ,VERÁ MEU COMENTARIO,POIS SUA PUBLICAÇÃO É DE MARÇO DE 2021 E ESTAMOS EM 2022,POREM, GOSTEI DE SUA REAÇÃO, SOU DA GERAÇÃO EM QUE QUEEN,LED ZEPELIN E OUTRA BANDAS ESTAVAM EM SEU AUGE,MAS A PRIMEIRA VEZ QUE ESCUTEI BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY TIVE A MESMA REAÇÃO QUE VOCÊ,E JÁ FAZ MUITO TEMPO,FOI NO INICIO DA DECADA DE 80,ME SENTI EXTASIADO COM A PERFORMANCE DA BANDA,UM GRANDE ABRAÇO.
The harmonies are Freddie doing 15 different ones. The high Galileo is done by drummer Roger Taylor. Freddie has the voice of an angel. Try more Queen! You won’t be sorry!
This is the British band Queen; the lead singer Freddie Mercury is widely accepted as the best (most versatile) vocalist in rock music; practically any contemporary singer/musician that you ask, will credit him as an inspiration in some way... he passed away in 1991 from AIDS. The band has hit songs that are such an integral part of our culture today, that everyone knows them (you just don't realize it)! Like, at sports events, when everyone in the stands starts doing the "clap clap stomp! clap clap stomp!" ...That came from Queen's song "We Will Rock You".
Freddies vocal abilities were only half of this mans talent... you can watch a concert withe freddie and there will be 100k people singing every song with him .... his ability to connect with every listener was uncanny. So i see u enjoy harmonies and vocals.... check out BEE GEES too much heaven .... have a bot of tissues and youre goosebumps wull have goosebumps
Try the Pentatonix version...very close to the original you are listening to..acapella version totally..I am a major Queen fan and loved their take on this song...
All the voices singing are his voice dubbed together with reel to reel tape. He nearly broke the tape. The lyrics are about him being diagnosed with AIDS, uncurable at the time ;- what he eventually died of. Nobody at the time knew - maybe his band et al... The song lyrics are more poignant and meaningful on understang that if you listen again. Mind blowing lyrics, knowing that. Jason from London
With all due respect, do your research. Mercury wrote it and sang those operatic vocals, originally supposed to be three songs, then merged them together. Auto Immune Defiency Syndrome was a diagnosis by a medical professional, therefore recognised medically as a medical condition. This DOES NOT mean that the symptoms did not exist previously, before being labelled AIDS back then. Basically, 'your immune system is f***ed'. Hence the lyrics.
It doesn't matter what type of music you listen to....this song spans all types, all generations, all ages....it's a true masterpiece that is ageless.
The guitarist is Brian May, now Dr May, PhD in Astrophysics. He 'temporarily' stopped is studies to see if Queen would be successful....then completed them about 30 years later!. That's what I would call a 'gap' year.
Wow, amazing
Brian May wrote the Bohemian Rhapsody guitar solo
Queen is a British rock group formed in 1971 consisting of:
Freddie Mercury - Lead vocalist & piano
John Deacon - Bass guitar
Roger Taylor - Drummer & vocalist
Dr. Brian May - Lead guitar & vocalist
All the members of Queen were extremely talented musicians who not only performed but each member wrote song and each member had hit singles that they wrote.
Freddie Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody & is responsible for the arrangement.
Wow , this is amazing, I felt the effect, it was overwhelming in a good way. Thank you for watching
Brian May only just recently completed his doctoral thesis in astronomy. He had to put it on hold to play guitar with some silly rock band.
"Freddie Mercury - Lead vocalist & piano" and tambourine in 1976 and gitar in 1979,1984
Its ok to feel completely exhausted after listening to bohemian rhapsody for the first time. Dont forget to pick jaw up off the floor ,though.
Lol 😅 thanks for watching
The first part where voices are harmonized - thats just one man the lead singer Freddie
YESSS... Freddie Mercury recorded himself singing each of five parts, then overlayed them together. (Even though the video shows all four band members lip syncing during that part.) Freddie was well-known for doing that: Writing multiple harmony parts and recording himself singing the different parts... as well as writing complicated harmonies for all of the band members to sing, which is why Queen has that unique sound.
Wow really? That's incredible, I didn't know. OMG
That might be partly true, but the super high notes are Roger Taylor ( the drummer)
Yeah, no
Partly true, but the extra high note is Roger Taylor, the drummer!

Queen hat etwa 200 Songs geschrieben,da haben sie noch sehr viel zu hören.
Great reaction, but your emotion didn't allow you to listen to the final 20 seconds, which was truly grand.
All the voices singing are his voice dubbed together with reel to reel tape. He nearly broke the tape. The lyrics are about him being diagnosed with AIDS, uncurable at the time ;- what he eventually died of.
Nobody at the time knew - maybe his band et al...
The song lyrics are more poignant and meaningful on understang that if you listen again.
Mind blowing lyrics, knowing that.
Jason from London
Roger, Brian and Freddie recorded all the operatic vocals. This was made in 1975, a whole decade before Freddie was diagnosed with AIDS.
With all due respect, do your research. Mercury wrote it and sang those operatic vocals, originally supposed to be three songs, then merged them together. Auto Immune Defiency Syndrome was a diagnosis by a medical professional, therefore recognised medically as a medical condition. This DOES NOT mean that the symptoms did not exist previously, before being labelled AIDS back then. Basically, 'your immune system is f***ed'. Hence the lyrics.
Rexion, loved your reaction,i am a massive Queen fan but could you tell me where you got your Beautiful eyes and face from,cos i haven't got them.
Lol 😅 thanks for watching.
Bismillah is from pre-Islamic Southern Arabic meaning "In the name of God/Allah"
This is the Opus Magnum, the master work of Freddy Mercury. He wrote, composed and sings this Rhapsody. Sorry, but he died.
Can you please react to the Crash test dummies song called The ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead
Peter
Will check it out
Awesome can't wait so excited Can you please let me know when its posted
Try listening to the story in the sing. It creates the rests on for everything else.....
Brought up on queen, Bowie etc. It's why I'm sad about how poor music is today.
You liked it then ?
Looks like you needed a cigarette afterwards ;-)
Lol 😆 oh no i don't smoke
