    I’ve been a musician for over 40 years now. THIS! This blew me away. Not only did you cover this great trac, but YOU DID THE KILLER ALBUM VERSION! I was so moved by this performance kids, I got teary eyed. You give this guy some hope for your generation. WELL DONE!

      I just wanted to say I think you should change your alias to "legaltimmigrant" or maybe even "illegaltimmigrant"...whichever applies, however I don't support illegal immigration.

    I hope these kids are watching this these years later and seeing how much joy their music brings to complete strangers. I was lucky enough to play in a high school music program that was world class, and it brings a satisfaction that is impossible to describe to people who have never been a part of making MUSIC!

    Timeless classic (#24 on 1/13/1979) The guitar and bass here are outright killers. I was fortunate enough to see Queen in 1980 and they did this song and the crowd got more wilder. Freddie was one heck of a performer. A fun evening.
    These kids are amazing and covered this nicely.

      @mxslick50 3 года назад

      @@Jukkala I respectfully disagree. NO ONE is perfect, and so far the vast majority of comments give him credit for a great job. Like I said in my full comment on here, he started off a bit tentative, and he really needed to add more force and "grit" to the breaks ("Hey", "Come, on" etc. ) to make it what I would call a PERFECT cover. BUT definitely a solid effort especially since he was only 14 when this was recorded.
      BTW, I worked live sound with some very high profile artists as a stage monitor engineer, and can assure you that despite my lack of vocal or instrumental talents, I do know a fair bit about what is good solid performance and what is not. ;)

    A very well done take on this classic song...tight instruments and great backing vocals. As for Hayden, the lead, at age 14 absolutely awesome. The only thing about his lead performance was that it started off a bit tentative, and he really needed to add more force and "grit" to the breaks ("Hey", "Come, on" etc. ) to make it what I would call a PERFECT cover. That said, he really did a great job with a unique style and obvious passion, and also a great "stage presence." I do hope that ALL of these young folks are still singing and playing to this day.
