Freddie always said in interviews, that he is not a leader of the band, only lead singer , that there are four equal people in the group. Four musicians, songwriters and singers, four educated people, so much talent in one band
@@CoachCastTV One dentist (Roger), one electrical engineer John, one PhD in Astronomy - Brian and one "musical prostitute" as Freddie called himself. "It's a Kind of Magic". You can check that one too..
@@georgalefkas5265To be fair, Roger's not a dentist: he dropped out after a term or two and switched to biology. He did graduate as a biologist, though!
Casual fans think of Freddie when they hear the name Queen. Hardcore Queen fans think of all 4 and know this sound and these songs would not exist without each member being the perfect fit in the band.
Absolutely correct prof, deac's is as imporant to the Queen sound as any of the other 3 even though in most other bands they're only the bass player, our john was something special as were roger and brian but the 4 of them together made a magical noise on stage, the perfect mix to showcase each others talents and skills, can anyone think of another top guitarist that built his guitar himself, or a bass player that made an amp 🤷🏼 ✊👑🇬🇧
Thank you...the story behind Freddie’s outfit goes like this, the production company wanted the band to wear the same clothes for the two concerts in Montreal to combine them for a video...the band refused and said they would wear what they wanted to....Freddie, of course went all out...a person here on RUclips said about Freddie, “my guy’s a lifeguard and he might go swimming later”...you’ve just got to love Freddie...truly one of a kind🤩
Roger has an amazing voice, you must listen to him singing “I’m in love with my car” Really showcases Roger’s voice & drumming ability! Another great reaction, thank you!❤️
Roger has 6 solo albums and he was lead singer and guitar player in his former band The Cross. Queens performances live are amazing and different from albums and studio versions. Freddie said in an interview live concerts are different from their albums. If you come to a Queen concert wanting them to sound like they do on their albums then stay home and listen to the album. Live concerts are supposed to be different due to excitement and getting the fans involved and it's a thrill to see them in action. Also in this Montreal concert listen to Roger sing his song I'm in love with my car. You'll enjoy it I promise it's great and his drumming in that song is incredible.
I'm a little late to the show, but you definitely got a new subscriber. I agree that Freddie deserves all the accolades he gets. And Brian as well. But most reactions I've watched do leave out Roger and John's contributions, so I greatly appreciate your acknowledgement of the entire band. Like you, once I watched Queen live, I was really blown away by Roger.
Roger had the best falsetto of the 70s. Listen to In the lap of the gods (not the revisited version) and My fairy king. He was also invited to sing backing vocals for Fox-Survival, where he reached an E6 at the end of the song. Listen to it, it's a beautiful song.
You are right they and especially Freddie were frustrated by the camera men and the producer. According to Freddie, Roger was better than a drum machine, even more precise and yes he is one of the best singing drummers. It was a God given moment when these 4 very talented guys found each-other.
Roger is the one who sings the super high notes in Bohemian Rhapsody. His range was almost as big as Freddie’s. Also Brian May, the lead guitarist, is one of the finest guitar players in the business. He actually made his own guitar and has made adjustments so that the instrument has a really warm sound ( the guy has a doctorate in astrophysics- this is no ordinary guitar player!), and has also invented some stuff with repeating speakers and other effects.
@@CoachCastTV There are RUclipss out there with just Roger Taylor's vocals from BoRhap, to help appreciate just how insanely high he could go - ruclips.net/video/Jpk4Xx_MBfw/видео.htmlsi=938PIHodqY95jAHM for example, or just search "Bohemian Rhapsody operatic section Roger Taylor".
Roger actually had his own band aside from Queen. It was called The Cross if you want to hear him sing more. Also Roger sings his song- ‘I’m in Love with My Car’ - so much talent-
I also like the version from the ‘86 Wembley concert… Freddie scats in the middle 💛 gotta love all these guys. John gettin funky, Roger killing the high notes, Brian doin what he always does and our perfect darling Freddie.
YES ROGER TAYLOR a/k/a the drummer wrote a song called "I'm In Love With My Car" that he does sing in concert. Also, Roger and Brian both had solo careers after Freddie died, and John left the band. If you pull up each of them (Roger Taylor and Brian May), you'll see a list of their songs/videos. ❤ QUEEN FOREVER
Roger was actually the first member of Queen to have a solo album. They were a force individually and together. Each one of them wrote a hit song for the band. This one was written bassist John Deacon. Here are some drummers who were singers. Phil Collins Genesis, Karen Carpenter The Carpenters, and Don Henley The Eagles.
Freddie was really angry that the crowd had been told to sit still, and keep quiet, not singing along, because they were intending to use the footage to produce a movie. This was totally against everything that Queen live performances were about. See how often Freddie says "sing it!" and is so frustrated that the crowd is too intimidated by the bouncers to join in. The concert was held over two nights, and they 'ordered' Freddie and the others to wear exactly the same outfits on both nights, so they could rearrange the sequence of numbers as they pleased. The short-shorts were Freddie's retaliation... One of Deaky's best bass lines... I do love your appreciation for Roger Taylor, as always, singing his heart out while never losing the beat on the drums! I always wonder where he got the energy, and when he found the time to breathe! Freddie always said, it wasn't 'Freddie Mercury and Queen' - it was simply 'Queen'. Four equal partners who worked as a team.
@@CoachCastTV If you want to hear some angry Freddie, listen to "Death on Two Legs". An early manager was enjoying the fruits of Queen's labor a little too much. Official lyric video is best for this one, IMO. Cheers!
@@CoachCastTVQueen were very passionate about their fans, from their beginnings they wanted the audience to participate and feel included. They also never refused an autograph or a picture taken together with their fans. Never behaved like big stars and look down on others. Just 4 down to earth guys. 👑👑👑👑
@@CoachCastTV true. When you'll react to Hammersmith Odeon Christmas eve (25-12-1975) gig's last song In the Lap Of The Gods (revisited) you'll see how Queen brought the audience Christmas gifts 🙃😜 (I know that I've already suggested that but ... OK. I'll be patient 😅)
Coach and Mrs Coach we're amazed with Roger Taylor performance.... You should react to... I'm In loved with my car, writen by Roger Taylor..!!!!! You will be crazy😂
This is such a great performance! Thanks! This song was written by the bass player John Deacon. Live performances were always different from the recordings. Freddie said that this was done on purpose because he felt that people who came to see them live wanted something different than the recordings or they would just stay home and listen to the recordings. Also every live performance of the same song is different in each performance.
Hi Coach and Mrs. Coach, new subscriber here. I’m enjoying going down your Queen playlist and will comment more as I see more. You mentioned that the live version sounds different than the studio version. The band felt the the fans could hear the studio version anytime on their albums and didn’t believe it was right for the audience to pay to see their show just to hear the song sound just like the album. Freddie makes a point to do something different. You could watch them do this song at a different show and it will be different. They wanted their shows to be an experience for the audience and wanted them to feel included, which is why there is so much audience participation in their shows. This is why us Queen fans are requesting live reactions. No two songs sound the same when they perform live. And yes, Roger Taylor is AMAZING!!
Welcome aboard. Yes, we're having a great time learning more about this band that we only knew a small amount about and the talent level is simply staggering.
Queen drummer Roger Taylor signs on a handfull of Queen songs. One of the most well know songs Roger sings is "I'm in love with my car" on the classic 'Night at the Opera' album
Hey Coach and Mrs.,... actually the beef was with the photography company hired to film the two-night concert when they wanted them to wear the same clothing both nights and this was Freddie's answer to that... they had also told the audience to stay in their seats and stay quiet... can you imagine how that went over... Freddie's humor is quite unique... Yes, Roger Taylor has several songs in the Queen catalog and also has his own solo career with his own band... quite successful I might add... check it out... "Old Friends" was a tribute to Freddie and "Say It Isn't True" was a song written by Roger for charity of the AIDS Phoenix Foundation during the 46664 concert celebration series for Nelson Mandela, pretty awesome... ALSO, Sir Dr. Brian May, the greatest guitarist/astrophysicist in the world, has his own solo career and band with amazing music... check out "Last Horizon" and the most beautiful song in the world, "Bijou"... you will not be disappointed... SO GLAD I found your channel... blessings.
The late great Ronnie Van Zant,always preformed barefoot,he liked, to feel the music, keep up the great work from Belfast Northern Ireland. Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and Sir Van Morriston are just a few great singer/songwriters from this small island.
After being a fan for awhile fans has a appreciation for each member separately and each person an has a love like family. Love like brothers in the group
I was born and raised , in Indianapolis, Indiana . and after school the first thing I did was take off my shoes and socks to walk home, even in the winter with snow on the ground.
Queen is about to start a US tour in October (with Adam Lambert) so you can go see Roger Taylor live if they are coming to your town. And, as others have said, I'm In Love With My Car is written and sung by Roger.
Please react to some of the Queen songs that few reactors check out, like “Brian May’s version of “Too Much Love Will Kill You”, “Scandal”, “Don’t Try So Hard”, “Cool Cat”, “Ride the Wild Wind”, and “Rock It (Prime Jive)”, on which Freddie sings the intro and then Roger takes over for the rest of the song. 💜💕💜💕💜💕
@@CoachCastTVBrian’s “To Much Love Will Kill You” will bring tears to your eyes. Haven’t found much from Queen that I haven’t liked. I started with Bohemian Rhapsody for me years ago and I rediscovered them a couple years ago. So much talent!
IIRC, this song was the first encore of that concert together with 'Sheer Heart Attack' (the second one would be, obviously, 'Rock You' and 'Champions'), which also explains why they were firing on all cylinders: it didn't matter if they blew their vocal folds up as the gig was nearly over anyway, they'd have plenty of time to rest (once they were done with partying, of course). But that also explains why they were generally relaxed (including the outfit).
Yes RogerTaylo did several solo albums and he formed his own band when not performing with Queen and was the lead singer and played electric guitar. Roger is multi talented, as they all are. They are all multi-instrumentalists and all except John have done solo albums. Freddie even made an album with an opera singer Montserrat Calbial called Barcelona. You really need to listen to songs from that album. It is amazing!!
The guy running the venue David Swimmer wanted to run both nights consecutively into one show so that he can show it around the world. The boys were really angry about this And a big argument ensued. So Freddie wore the white shorts to prevent this from happening ..
Roger has sung several Queen songs. I’m in love with my car Drowse, Funit, tenement Funster, old time rock n roll plus others. Brian has sung a few All dead all dead, long away plus together. One by One only the good die young
This concert used to belong to another producer and was released on VHS under the title of "We will rock you" , the band did not like the guy that owned it and it frustrated them for years as it was not theirs, after the guy died they managed to negotiate a deal with his estate to buy it, the reel come to them in a box in a mess, after a lot of time and effort you see what is before you now. I saw Roger Live in a solo gig in Guilford UK a couple of years ago, I recorded a couple of tracks which are on my channel, Listen to "Let there be drums"
Love you two, as a Queen fan of some 35 years having first seen them live at Live Aid in 1985 and twice after that I love that you love all the band members. Roger has the voice similar to Rod Stewart which they used to call him at times. Roger sings "I'm in Love with my Car" which is great, a must watch. You need to do "Another One Bites the Dust" live from Wembley UK in 1986 AMAZING !!! Stay safe from Manchester UK xx Below are some live suggestions that will simply blow your mind :- One Vision/Tie Your Mother Down/In the Lap of the Gods/Seven Seas of Rhye/Tear It Up Medley - LIVE Wembley 1986 (mind blowing) Another One Bites the Dust - LIVE Wembley 1986 Under Pressure - LIVE Wembley 1986 [Freddie has the whole 72,000 in the palm of his hands] Who Wants to Live Forever - LIVE Wembley -or- Budapest 1986 Now I'm Here - LIVE Wembley 1986 Love of My Life - LIVE Wembley 1986 Bohemian Rhapsody - LIVE Wembley 1986 Bohemian Rhapsody - LIVE Montreal 1981 Save Me - LIVE Montreal 1981 Dragon Attack with the Now I'm Here Reprisal (make sure it is the reprisal version) - LIVE Montreal 1981 Play the Game - LIVE Montreal 1981 Please, please, please, please do some of the above stuff, now you're down the Queen rabbit hole you'll never come back up !
All of my exposure to Queen came from movies for the first decades of my life. I only knew them from the soundtracks of Flash Gordon and Highlander during the 80s. It wasn't until Grosse Point Blank that I heard Under Pressure and about that time I noticed this song. As much as I have listened to music in the 80s and 90s, I have a huge blind spot for the 70s and earlier, it all just seemed "before my time" and when I was young.
Talk about talented ...Roger recorded a short drum loop and Deacon played everything else. Bass, guitar, keyboard,. Brian makes the added background sounds....but Deacon gets the credit for this.....a fantastic musician.
There is a medley they do at this concert, Killer Queen/I’m In Love With My Car… where Roger has a solo! He is an amazing singer! He also has a really good drum solo is this show, too!
I've been lucky enough to work for security at their concerts in the uk, and the live aid is great, so was queen at Wembley and queen at Milton Keynes. So any of their live stuff is great
Great reaction! If you like Roger Taylor, he sings the whole song in Queen - More of that Jazz. I really like that song, and i'm in love with my car live in montreal is amazing to! Make sure you watch the Killer Queen/Love with my car medly😊
If you would like to see an amazing Roger, check out the Roger Cam from Wembley 86. Now I'm Here. The camera is mainly on Roger and to see him from close up and his drumming and singing!! It's amazing! He does have solo work and those show off his amazing voice and his guitar skills too.
Roger has a few solo albums, but my favourite album by is Fun in Space which is well worth a listen. My favourite Roger Queen tracks are Drowse and I'm in Love with my car. As you are both finding out all four members are just geniuses, Welcome to the Queen club.
You're right, Roger Taylor is amazing and the perfect match with Freddie. You can try Tenement Funster sing by Roger in the 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack or I'm in love with my car from the same concert in Montreal. Brian May is also a good singer, you can hear him with "39" (only in the studio version) As we say in France : "des petits joyaux" Thank you for your react, more more Queen please 💛❤️
Freddie waS upset because the audience was told Not to be loud during the concert, and ad you know, queen likes audience participation. That's why no ones repeating.
We hardcore Queen fans are called Queenies and we can answer where others leave off. Freddie liked to show off his... well, not that we can leave it to the imagination, but we won't say it out loud. He talked about his "assets" in many interviews. Thanks for the Reaction!
The best part of the whole tighty whiteys thing Fred has going on is the complete lack of reaction by John Deacon he's just grooving away and laying down that amazing bass line like he's seen this before.
I actually did tell you. I’ll repeat what happened. Montreal was not part of a tour. It was two nights that a production company was filming to make a movie. The band was upset with the production company & their management team because they were telling people to stay in their seats. So to wreck the continuity between the two nights Freddie came out like this on day two. Don’t get on Freddie’s bad side. Freddie, Brian & Roger all did solo albums. If you want to hear Roger singing lead while he drums listen to I’m in Love With My car. When you hear a Falsetto that’s Roger. Whenever you hear a song with a great baseline the writer is usually John Deacan the Bass player.
HI Coach! HI Mrs. Coach! …I’m just discovering your Queen & Freddie reactions! PLEASE NOTE: I’m sure Queen fans are asking you to react to the famous 20-minute LIVE AID set (Yesss Puleazee!!) …PLEASE BE AWARE: There is one “CORRUPTED”/CUT-SHORT copy of the Queen Live Aid video, that’s circulating on YT. (There’s only ONE corrupted version, but it’s at the TOP of YT’s search algorithm… So sadly, LOTS of reactors have unwittingly used it.) PLEASE ALSO NOTE: There are MANY complete copies of Queen’s Live Aid set video (some are also REMASTERED w AMAZING HD). RECOMMEND… My FAV version is on: Remastered Memories channel (for the HD image/upgraded color) Other channels with awesome-quality Live Aid videos are: Mundo do Rock and Alex (yep, just Alex) …There are several others, as well. Just DON’T pick the first one that’s at the top of YT’s search algorithm, it will probably be the corrupted version.
The 1st time I saw them in 1975, Freddie did a striptease down to very short, very tight red/white striped shorts, red suspenders and a smile.🔥🥰 If you got, flaunt it baby and FREDDIE HAD IT ALL OVER!!! John wrote this song. The other 3 are just overdressed!
Yes Roger has about six solo albums as I remember and three albums with his band The Cross. As for performing barefoot on stage KD Lange and late Sinead O'Connor did it very often
Written by John and almost didn't make the album let alone number one single. You can hear Sir Brian and Roger narrating this concert, it wasn't so much the people filming the concert more the security who didn't want the audience moving about or standing up, which goes against what this group is about I would look at Inside The Rhapsody which is on Queen RUclips, and you'll see how Fred planned this out, how it was made etc, Days Of Our Lives Documentary again gives you an insight into the whole band, who did what and how, and has Freddie mum and sister along with Mary Austin and others who knew Fred and the other members of the group
A bit of background Freddie has a diploma in Graphic Arts and Design Brain May lead guitar has a degree in astrophysics he is Sir Dr Brian May after being knighted by King Charles Roger Taylor drummer has a degree in Biology John Deacon bass player has a first class honours degree in electronics they are all inducted into the rock & roll Hall of Fame & songwriters Hall of Fame all have written number one hits one amazing band love them ❤❤ x if you would like to hear Rogers falsetto please react to In The Lap of the Gods from the Rainbow 1974 not the revisited version (which comes at the end of the concert) same title two completely different songs x
This is near the end of the show. As the night wore on Freddie had less clothing on. In the beginning fully dressed leather jacket, long pants and all. If you watch the whole concert the clothes come off. I don't believe it had anything to do with anything other than it's hot during the length of the show.
You should check out Killer Queen and I'm in Love with my Car live. Roger is awesome ❤❤❤. I'm in love with my car was the B side to Bohemian Rhapsody ❤❤
FYI - Those were called booty shorts and they were very popular in the 70s for both men and women. Even the basketball uniforms in the 70s included tight short shorts. (I have to admit, it made basketball much more enjoyable for those of us who were not big sports fans.) BTW - "Another One Bites the Dust" is used to train medical professionals to provide the correct number of chest compressions per minute while performing CPR. The bassline has close to 110 beats per minute, and 100-120 chest compressions per minute is the perfect rhythm to use for compressions -- though, perhaps the words are not exactly appropriate to sing while trying to save someone's life -- another one bites the dust.
Kinda late to your reaction. As you’ve read from the comments, Queen was pretty annoyed with the film production & security trying to subdue the audience into behaving. Of course, Freddie was having none of it so at certain times during the concert Freddie urged the audience to stand up, move around, and “you can take your clothes off” 😂 Michael Jackson loved this song saying, “That’s it, that’s the gravy” urging Queen to release it as a single. 😀
Great reaction! 👑 Roger is my all-time hero!! 🥁🔥 Please react to 'Touch The Sky' by Roger Taylor and get those shivers 😉 I've never seen anyone react to that hidden gem from 1994. 🥂
I am a absolutely massive fan of Queen so much as that I have a Freddie half arm tattoo 😊 but I am also a fan of Foo Fighters, and there drummer rest his soul Taylor Hawkins who himself was a massive fan of Queen also sang and played the drums, and he had an amazing voice I’d say better than Dave Growl 😊 you should check him out.
Freddie always said in interviews, that he is not a leader of the band, only lead singer , that there are four equal people in the group. Four musicians, songwriters and singers, four educated people, so much talent in one band
I love to hear that. 4 titans of the industry for sure.

He always engages the audience.
Roger Taylor is always awesome. Their Ace in the hole in many ways. Brilliant with a wicked, awesome sense of humor.
With the heavy bass line, you can tell John wrote this one, great!
Roger Taylor had a drum solo in Montreal in 1981, and I believe he also had his own band somewhere in the 80s where he was the lead singer!

97.8% of all Queen is better live than studio. It’s the energy they put into the songs.
They are incredible live.

They wanted their shows to be an experience for the audience and wanted them to feel included, which is why there is so much audience participation in their shows. This is why us Queen fans are requesting live reactions. No two songs sound the same when they perform live.
And yes, Roger Taylor is AMAZING!!
Welcome aboard. Yes, we're having a great time learning more about this band that we only knew a small amount about and the talent level is simply staggering.
One of the most iconic voices ever.
Queen drummer Roger Taylor signs on a handfull of Queen songs. One of the most well know songs Roger sings is "I'm in love with my car" on the classic 'Night at the Opera' album
We have been told to do the live version of that one.
Hey Coach and Mrs.,... actually the beef was with the photography company hired to film the two-night concert when they wanted them to wear the same clothing both nights and this was Freddie's answer to that... they had also told the audience to stay in their seats and stay quiet... can you imagine how that went over... Freddie's humor is quite unique...
Yes, Roger Taylor has several songs in the Queen catalog and also has his own solo career with his own band... quite successful I might add... check it out... "Old Friends" was a tribute to Freddie and "Say It Isn't True" was a song written by Roger for charity of the AIDS Phoenix Foundation during the 46664 concert celebration series for Nelson Mandela, pretty awesome...
ALSO, Sir Dr. Brian May, the greatest guitarist/astrophysicist in the world, has his own solo career and band with amazing music... check out "Last Horizon" and the most beautiful song in the world, "Bijou"... you will not be disappointed...
SO GLAD I found your channel... blessings.
Thank you for all that info. This is good to know. We're thankful that you are watching!
‘Watch Under Pressure with Queen and Adam Lambert. Roger Taylor and Adam lamberts vocals are great.
I’d suggest this performance from Central Park.
The late great Ronnie Van Zant,always preformed barefoot,he liked,
to feel the music, keep up the great work from Belfast Northern Ireland. Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and Sir Van Morriston are just a few great singer/songwriters from this small island.
Thanks!
After being a fan for awhile fans has a appreciation for each member separately and each person an has a love like family.
Love like brothers in the group
I was born and raised , in Indianapolis, Indiana . and after school the first thing I did was take off my shoes and socks to walk home, even in the winter with snow on the ground.
Queen is a great band he's 1 of the best vocalists I ever heard you need to watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody it's a great movie about there life
Queen is about to start a US tour in October (with Adam Lambert) so you can go see Roger Taylor live if they are coming to your town. And, as others have said, I'm In Love With My Car is written and sung by Roger.
That one is on the list! Thanks!
If you want a brilliant Roger Taylor Solo track try, "Foreign Sand" utterly brilliant.
Roger Taylor & Jeff beck…sang Say it’s not true…about Freddie❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
Please react to some of the Queen songs that few reactors check out, like “Brian May’s version of “Too Much Love Will Kill You”, “Scandal”, “Don’t Try So Hard”, “Cool Cat”, “Ride the Wild Wind”, and “Rock It (Prime Jive)”, on which Freddie sings the intro and then Roger takes over for the rest of the song. 💜💕💜💕💜💕
Great suggestions. We'll try to get to them as we can. This is apparently a very big rabbit hole to go down.
@@CoachCastTVBrian’s “To Much Love Will Kill You” will bring tears to your eyes. Haven’t found much from Queen that I haven’t liked. I started with Bohemian Rhapsody for me years ago and I rediscovered them a couple years ago. So much talent!
IIRC, this song was the first encore of that concert together with 'Sheer Heart Attack' (the second one would be, obviously, 'Rock You' and 'Champions'), which also explains why they were firing on all cylinders: it didn't matter if they blew their vocal folds up as the gig was nearly over anyway, they'd have plenty of time to rest (once they were done with partying, of course). But that also explains why they were generally relaxed (including the outfit).
It was a fun one, for sure!
Roger Taylor & Jeff beck….Say it’s not true ❤️🎼❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Listen to I’m in love with my car…
Roger sings the song while playing drums!
We are going to try to do that one soon.
No no no. Another bites the dust live at the Wimbledon stadium. For me, the best live version .
We're told they are all different. Maybe one day we can do that version as well.
Yes RogerTaylo did several solo albums and he formed his own band when not performing with Queen and was the lead singer and played electric guitar. Roger is multi talented, as they all are. They are all multi-instrumentalists and all except John have done solo albums. Freddie even made an album with an opera singer Montserrat Calbial called Barcelona. You really need to listen to songs from that album. It is amazing!!
The guy running the venue
David Swimmer wanted to run both nights consecutively into one show so that he can show it around the world. The boys were really angry about this And a big argument ensued. So Freddie wore the white shorts to prevent this from happening ..
Roger has sung several Queen songs. I’m in love with my car Drowse, Funit, tenement Funster, old time rock n roll plus others. Brian has sung a few All dead all dead, long away plus together. One by One only the good die young
At least he's wearing a Montreal Canadians hat.
This concert used to belong to another producer and was released on VHS under the title of "We will rock you" , the band did not like the guy that owned it and it frustrated them for years as it was not theirs, after the guy died they managed to negotiate a deal with his estate to buy it, the reel come to them in a box in a mess, after a lot of time and effort you see what is before you now.
I saw Roger Live in a solo gig in Guilford UK a couple of years ago, I recorded a couple of tracks which are on my channel, Listen to "Let there be drums"
He started the concert fully clothed 😅
Love you two, as a Queen fan of some 35 years having first seen them live at Live Aid in 1985 and twice after that I love that you love all the band members. Roger has the voice similar to Rod Stewart which they used to call him at times. Roger sings "I'm in Love with my Car" which is great, a must watch. You need to do "Another One Bites the Dust" live from Wembley UK in 1986 AMAZING !!! Stay safe from Manchester UK xx
Below are some live suggestions that will simply blow your mind :-
One Vision/Tie Your Mother Down/In the Lap of the Gods/Seven Seas of Rhye/Tear It Up Medley - LIVE Wembley 1986 (mind blowing)
Another One Bites the Dust - LIVE Wembley 1986
Under Pressure - LIVE Wembley 1986 [Freddie has the whole 72,000 in the palm of his hands]
Who Wants to Live Forever - LIVE Wembley -or- Budapest 1986
Now I'm Here - LIVE Wembley 1986
Love of My Life - LIVE Wembley 1986
Bohemian Rhapsody - LIVE Wembley 1986
Bohemian Rhapsody - LIVE Montreal 1981
Save Me - LIVE Montreal 1981
Dragon Attack with the Now I'm Here Reprisal (make sure it is the reprisal version) - LIVE Montreal 1981
Play the Game - LIVE Montreal 1981
Please, please, please, please do some of the above stuff, now you're down the Queen rabbit hole you'll never come back up !
You are very kind. Thank you so much. We will remember your recommendation of the Wembley version.
All of my exposure to Queen came from movies for the first decades of my life. I only knew them from the soundtracks of Flash Gordon and Highlander during the 80s. It wasn't until Grosse Point Blank that I heard Under Pressure and about that time I noticed this song. As much as I have listened to music in the 80s and 90s, I have a huge blind spot for the 70s and earlier, it all just seemed "before my time" and when I was young.
Talk about talented ...Roger recorded a short drum loop and Deacon played everything else. Bass, guitar, keyboard,.
Brian makes the added background sounds....but Deacon gets the credit for this.....a fantastic musician.
There is a medley they do at this concert, Killer Queen/I’m In Love With My Car… where Roger has a solo! He is an amazing singer! He also has a really good drum solo is this show, too!
We just recorded the reaction to that medley and it will post probably tomorrow.
I've been lucky enough to work for security at their concerts in the uk, and the live aid is great, so was queen at Wembley and queen at Milton Keynes. So any of their live stuff is great
Great reaction! If you like Roger Taylor, he sings the whole song in Queen - More of that Jazz. I really like that song, and i'm in love with my car live in montreal is amazing to! Make sure you watch the Killer Queen/Love with my car medly😊
Thanks for that info!
Roger has a song called I'm in love with my car. He does solo in concert.
Yes, that one is on the list!
Wembley 86: One vision. Another one bites the dust, Who wants to live forever....
Thanks for those!
If you would like to see an amazing Roger, check out the Roger Cam from Wembley 86. Now I'm Here. The camera is mainly on Roger and to see him from close up and his drumming and singing!! It's amazing! He does have solo work and those show off his amazing voice and his guitar skills too.
Sounds like one to do.
Roger has a few solo albums, but my favourite album by is Fun in Space which is well worth a listen. My favourite Roger Queen tracks are Drowse and I'm in Love with my car.
As you are both finding out all four members are just geniuses, Welcome to the Queen club.
Many thanks! All of them have impressed us.
Please do Roger Taylor & Jeff beck singing Say it’s not true…thanks 🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧🇬🇧
As mentioned below roger solo I’m in love with my car. Same Montreal concert do a double header killer Queen runs into I’m in love with my car.
Got it. That's on our list to do.
The live at Wembley 1986 version of this song is so much better. You must watch it too
Someone else also said that. Guess it's another for our list. LOL
You're right, Roger Taylor is amazing and the perfect match with Freddie. You can try Tenement Funster sing by Roger in the 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack or I'm in love with my car from the same concert in Montreal.
Brian May is also a good singer, you can hear him with "39" (only in the studio version)
As we say in France : "des petits joyaux"
Thank you for your react, more more Queen please 💛❤️
Thanks so much! The "I'm in Love with My Car" is on our to-do list!
@@CoachCastTV 👍☺️
Phil Collins is a drummer too who is singing, too.
Look for The Cross , it's Roger's band, He also has other songs he sings.
He has impressed us, for sure!
Freddie waS upset because the audience was told Not to be loud during the concert, and ad you know, queen likes audience participation. That's why no ones repeating.
Makes sense. I can understand why he was upset.
We hardcore Queen fans are called Queenies and we can answer where others leave off. Freddie liked to show off his... well, not that we can leave it to the imagination, but we won't say it out loud. He talked about his "assets" in many interviews. Thanks for the Reaction!
LOL...this band is fun and unique. The fanbase is pretty cool also.
The drummer for Rare Earth was also their vocalist.
Awesome. Don't think either of us have heard that band.
The best part of the whole tighty whiteys thing Fred has going on is the complete lack of reaction by John Deacon he's just grooving away and laying down that amazing bass line like he's seen this before.
I actually did tell you. I’ll repeat what happened. Montreal was not part of a tour. It was two nights that a production company was filming to make a movie. The band was upset with the production company & their management team because they were telling people to stay in their seats. So to wreck the continuity between the two nights Freddie came out like this on day two. Don’t get on Freddie’s bad side.
Freddie, Brian & Roger all did solo albums. If you want to hear Roger singing lead while he drums listen to I’m in Love With My car. When you hear a Falsetto that’s Roger.
Whenever you hear a song with a great baseline the writer is usually John Deacan the Bass player.
HI Coach!
HI Mrs. Coach!
…I’m just discovering your Queen & Freddie reactions!
PLEASE NOTE:
I’m sure Queen fans are asking you to react to the famous 20-minute LIVE AID set (Yesss Puleazee!!)
…PLEASE BE AWARE: There is one “CORRUPTED”/CUT-SHORT copy of the Queen Live Aid video, that’s circulating on YT. (There’s only ONE corrupted version, but it’s at the TOP of YT’s search algorithm… So sadly, LOTS of reactors have unwittingly used it.)
PLEASE ALSO NOTE: There are MANY complete copies of Queen’s Live Aid set video (some are also REMASTERED w AMAZING HD).
RECOMMEND…
My FAV version is on:
Remastered Memories channel (for the HD image/upgraded color)
Other channels with awesome-quality Live Aid videos are:
Mundo do Rock
and
Alex (yep, just Alex)
…There are several others, as well. Just DON’T pick the first one that’s at the top of YT’s search algorithm, it will probably be the corrupted version.
Hi there! Thank you for the guidance. That is something we intend to do in the near future. We appreciate you watching and commenting.
@CoachCastTV Great live meltdown 😅
The 1st time I saw them in 1975, Freddie did a striptease down to very short, very tight red/white striped shorts, red suspenders and a smile.🔥🥰 If you got, flaunt it baby and FREDDIE HAD IT ALL OVER!!! John wrote this song. The other 3 are just overdressed!
LOL!
They wanted them all to dress the same, Freddie declined to do that 😂
Yes Roger has about six solo albums as I remember and three albums with his band The Cross. As for performing barefoot on stage KD Lange and late Sinead O'Connor did it very often
Good info. First time I had seen barefoot on stage. LOL 😆
Written by John and almost didn't make the album let alone number one single. You can hear Sir Brian and Roger narrating this concert, it wasn't so much the people filming the concert more the security who didn't want the audience moving about or standing up, which goes against what this group is about
I would look at Inside The Rhapsody which is on Queen RUclips, and you'll see how Fred planned this out, how it was made etc, Days Of Our Lives Documentary again gives you an insight into the whole band, who did what and how, and has Freddie mum and sister along with Mary Austin and others who knew Fred and the other members of the group
Good info. We appreciate it!
Freddie did this on purpose! lol. Roger called it his "rapper gear". Roger Taylor put out several solo albums while he was with Queen.
That's great! Good to know Roger got a chance to do some lead vocals.
A bit of background Freddie has a diploma in Graphic Arts and Design Brain May lead guitar has a degree in astrophysics he is Sir Dr Brian May after being knighted by King Charles Roger Taylor drummer has a degree in Biology John Deacon bass player has a first class honours degree in electronics they are all inducted into the rock & roll Hall of Fame & songwriters Hall of Fame all have written number one hits one amazing band love them ❤❤ x if you would like to hear Rogers falsetto please react to In The Lap of the Gods from the Rainbow 1974 not the revisited version (which comes at the end of the concert) same title two completely different songs x
Wow! Very intelligent group of guys!
Also check Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" the concert edition. Phil is a drummer, singer, showman. It was great to see in person.
I forgot about Phil being a drummer. He's a good singer as well.
This is near the end of the show. As the night wore on Freddie had less clothing on.
In the beginning fully dressed leather jacket, long pants and all.
If you watch the whole concert the clothes come off.
I don't believe it had anything to do with anything other than it's hot during the length of the show.
Queen isn't Queen unless it's all 4, they are perfect together
You should check out Killer Queen and I'm in Love with my Car live. Roger is awesome ❤❤❤. I'm in love with my car was the B side to Bohemian Rhapsody ❤❤
We put that on our list because everyone says it is fantastic. Thank you!
You may like to review The Live Aid 1985 concert, in its entirety, 25 minutes or so.
That is high on our list to do soon.
that's why he wrote death on two legs.
FYI - Those were called booty shorts and they were very popular in the 70s for both men and women. Even the basketball uniforms in the 70s included tight short shorts. (I have to admit, it made basketball much more enjoyable for those of us who were not big sports fans.)
BTW - "Another One Bites the Dust" is used to train medical professionals to provide the correct number of chest compressions per minute while performing CPR. The bassline has close to 110 beats per minute, and 100-120 chest compressions per minute is the perfect rhythm to use for compressions -- though, perhaps the words are not exactly appropriate to sing while trying to save someone's life -- another one bites the dust.
Haha, good observation on that song in that situation. Thanks for commenting!
Try Roger Taylor I'm in love with
That's on the channel now. Great performance!
Kinda late to your reaction. As you’ve read from the comments, Queen was pretty annoyed with the film production & security trying to subdue the audience into behaving. Of course, Freddie was having none of it so at certain times during the concert Freddie urged the audience to stand up, move around, and “you can take your clothes off” 😂 Michael Jackson loved this song saying, “That’s it, that’s the gravy” urging Queen to release it as a single. 😀
That's a great story. Thanks for sharing more info!
Great reaction! 👑 Roger is my all-time hero!! 🥁🔥
Please react to 'Touch The Sky' by Roger Taylor and get those shivers 😉
I've never seen anyone react to that hidden gem from 1994. 🥂
Thanks for the tip!
Electric Fire...
I'm in love with my car. One for you coach xx
Thanks. That one is on the list. Several folks have mentioned it. Appreciate you watching!
The base player John Deacon wrote this song.
The bass sounds great in this song, as well.
I am a absolutely massive fan of Queen so much as that I have a Freddie half arm tattoo 😊 but I am also a fan of Foo Fighters, and there drummer rest his soul Taylor Hawkins who himself was a massive fan of Queen also sang and played the drums, and he had an amazing voice I’d say better than Dave Growl 😊 you should check him out.
