Queen I, now ur talking man.
That was Roger singing not Brian.
Andy & Alex well I like this one but I like the live Montreal version better and it has a different intro to it
Andy & Alex I just You Guy would love The song Liar by queen.Its one of their more rock song similar to this song in that sense.
Andy & Alex you guys should have seen this song live at the rainbow.
Thats actually both Rodger and Brian singing in that part
Rodger: "Do you think you're better everyday"?
Brian: "No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave"!
It's Roger. Without a D.
Haha, you're just like me bro', i always have to point out people's spelling errors!
They had it all down right from the first single, didn't they.
Of course almost every Queen track is a 10 for me since I’m 62👵🏻 and miss this kind of talent in today’s music world.... always can’t wait for Wednesdays for you guys (but I watch everything else too!) Good ratings!!👍🏼 There are several other live versions of this too that I like - Rock in Rio ‘86 is good in front of a 200,000+ crowd 😱👏🏼
Agree!!!
rock in rio was jan 85, the magic tour was 86! 👑✊🇬🇧
I’m 62 (in 2022). I had heard Keep Yourself Alive for the first time on our local college radio station. I brought the album home and played it over and over. I was mesmerized by the whole album and lived other tracks line Jesus, Liar and Son and Daughter. I love the hard driving in your face rock guitar with the harmonizing vocals. It’s my favorite Queen album. However I lost interest when Queen became a radio favorite. I’m not a contrarian but the more theatrical Muscovy that Freddie was so fond of dud nothing for me. But when I hear Keep Yourself Alive on my playlist, I still have to crank it up to 11. Such a great rocking sound…hell yeah
Did you guys know that Brian May received a PhD in astrophysics? He is a really smart person. He did a song for Nasa. Really interesting guy, besides being one of the best guitarists ever.
also a degree in Bio-Physics.
@@waynestumbo2408 Very intelligent man and very soft spoken, I don't know why I said that. But yes, pretty smart.
wayne stumbo His undergrad degree in 1968 was a BS in physics, after that he began working toward his doctorate in astrophysics but didn’t complete it until 2007.
@@breck1637 sorry. I was thinking of Isaac Asimov. he is the 1 with astrophysics and bio-chemistry
Yes.. We know
Reaccion HAMMER TO FALL please the album THE WORKS
I love that song. I think the rendition from Live aid is best!
Diana North But too short!
@@hannyhawkins7804 yeah, I know. the one down side, but still fantastic.
Hammer to fall headbangers version 😁
You can't beat the first two albums. Part of what is lost when revisiting old songs is the feeling you get when nothing else you have heard is anything like it. Brian May's guitar tone was unique back then.
So true on all points. There was nothing like it back then.
@@awarenessvillage then
@@s1d299 Oops. Sometimes we make typos!!! I've corrected it just for you.
@@awarenessvillage thanks ^^
Interesting fact... Brian wrote this song when he was still a teenager. That being said given that it was possibly one of the first songs he wrote it’s pretty darn good! 😊
Looved Freddie’s outfit here by the way! Also the teeny little bass solo! I love the song. You should react to the 'Liar' performance next.
Yes! I love Liar! It's one of the best songs on that album. It's one of my favorite albums, hands down.
Lea L. yeah the outfit is really nice 👍🏻 and basically all of them wore the jacket at least once 😂👌🏻 I kinda really adore their clothes sharing thing back in the days ☺️🤷🏼♀️
Andy did Liar some time ago, but he only listened...he and Alex should do Liar official video or Live at the Rainbow!
GladiatorKnightGhost I know! They should really do the official video. I just love the performances in that video. Especially Deaky and Freddie’s.
yeah. Liar is a bomb! Glam Rock Era Queen rocks!
Loving the reactions, you two work very well together! Please react to their One Vision video/documentary.. see that genius at work... trust me!
Julie Dave Yes totally agree, Andyreacts needs this song next week
Love the One Vision video! It is so much fun and it would be something to be in a studio when they were recording. They started their "magic" tour concerts in 1986 with this song and it is great live, but the Official studio video is the best!
You really need to try great king rat from the same album... Brian May just owns that song.
I agree.
yes!
oui!(i m french(^^))
lol nice name for a song
Brian is awesome
You should listen to Doing All Right. It's from that same record.
Another great one that came a bit later is Tie Your Mother Down
I feel like this is one of those songs that grows on you the more times that you listen to it.
In the live version they extended the drum solo, you should probably check it out, maybe live at Rainbow 74’
Love this early song. I think you really have to listen to Stone Cold Crazy, either the lyrics or live at the Rainbow. It is the first fast metal song created. The guitar parts are absolutely the best you will ever hear!! And I predict you guys will rate it a perfect 10 across the board! Another great reaction guys, thanks!
First thrash metal song, listen to this then listen to the Metallica version which Brian loves.
@@The1queencollector Queens version kills Metallica's version 200 times over.
Yes, all true. Stone Cold Crazy. should be next.
Yes, please react to Stone Cold Crazy! Great King Rat along with Son and Daughter also have metal undertones. However, the most metal song from Queen is definitely Gimme The Prize.
@@salvatoremistretta3357 I agree but Metallicas is fun and good version but Queens original will always be the best.
This is one of my favorite Queen songs. For their first single, it was a great way for the band to get started. It's funny that critical reception at the time was pretty mediocre. The common criticism was that the song "took too long to happen." Compared to some of their other material, this does feel pretty basic, but basic isn't bad. I love it.
You still need to do Save Me live in Montreal because it’s one of Queen’s most powerful live performances plus you’ll also see that Brian isn’t just a master on guitar.
Next wednesday please hear Bijou from the Innuendo album. If you love guitar you'll love that song!!! Great video Andy!
I was so pleased to see/hear Brian play that when I saw him in 2008! Awesome!
React to ITS LATE
Good early Queen. You guys really seem to like the heavier stuff the best, so you have to go with Stone Cold Crazy.
There's a story that Rami Malek pranked Ben Hardy (that played Roger in the movie) involving this song. He had all the assistants going thru the channels, that Roger Taylor had 1 request for the movie....that Ben recreate that drum solo. Poor Ben was so freaked out, he wouldn't come to set, when called. 😆
Love this early song. The guitar is fantastic in this one. You guys need to do Brighton Rock (although Andy has already done it solo) and Stone Cold Crazy. Liar would be good too.
They both could do Brighton Rock from the Live Killers album.
I love that you are helping to bring back these iconic songs, and bands. This is music I grew up on during high school. So thanks for bringing it back. I love it.
Same
You should try the live version of this song, maybe Live at Hammersmith 1975 or Live in Montreal 1981 (this one is my personal favourite because the instrumental part is just so good). You should give them a look :)
That was on their first album, which actually was a flop. It became popular after Killer Queen on their third album launched them.
Well I wouldn’t call the first album a flop, it just seems like they didn’t receive a lot of marketing for the first single and album.
**Zenobia** the band actually called it a flop on a documentary. Granted, their marketing was awful in the beginning. I didn’t even hear of them until third album was released and they put Killer Queen out as a single!!
@mmaloneym Yes, you are 100% correct. There are other places were Brian also referred to it as a commercial flop. However, the album is generally popular with Queen fans. The music on it is not a flop. Hot Space sold a lot better, but it was much more hit and miss than Queen I.
You should listen to "Gimme the Prize" (Official Lyric Video). Another great song from them that doesn't get played enough.
Yes!!!! It has an amazing guitar solo, and one of Freddie’s best vocals. This song does not get enough attention.
@@ZENOBlAmusic I feel like it would be a great entrance song for an MMA fighter.
LOVE this early Queen song and listen to it almost everyday!! They are so young and beautiful here and I so happy you chose it to react to today.
I love that you didn't cut the outro short. I've always liked Freddie's little bit at the end but people often miss it.
Btw, I can't remember if you guys have seen the BoRhap movie. Have you? Part of this song was featured in it.
Love your reactions. You take it seriously but have fun with it too. The two of you together are adorable! I can say that because I'm old enough to be your mom (at least) & mean it in the best possible way.
Keep up the good work!💙
I know exactly what you mean @Deborah Cornell! And isn't wonderful to see young people rockin' to the songs we listened to when we were kids?
Rolling Stones rated this 31st out of 100 of the best guitar songs
Whats the difference what rolling Stone said there lists stink but in this case this is a great song an accident on there part to get it right
Should have been number 1
You should also know that until "The Game" album in 1980 Queen never used a synthesiser on any track as they wanted a pure sound.. Queen, Queen 11, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, News of the World and Jazz all stated "no synthesisers".. It was on "The Game" in 1980 that they used one for the first time.. The first thing heard on the album is a synth on "Play the Game".
I like the song, and really like your reactions, thank you! Still need to do “Stone Cold Crazy”, and”It’s Late”.
Anita Paulus YES to both. Stone Cold Crazy, the invention of speed metal and a great, great song and It’s Late: a masterpiece.
I want them to do It’s Late SO badly. It’s one of Queen’s best songs (THE best, for me) and I will never understand why it didn’t become a hit.
Sara Stich Totally agree. But it couldn’t be a hit without being released as a single. It was only released s a single in the US, nowhere else, and then only a heavily edited, shorter version. Maybe they should have stuck the their guns, as they did with Bohemian Rhapsody and Innuendo and released the whole 6 minute glory?
Hanny Hawkins I know... guess I should have phrased it that way. There were definitely some odd choices in terms of what got released as singles over the years and what didn’t.
Sara Stich Well, remember they weren’t going to release Another One Bites the Dust as a single at all until Michael Jackson insisted. And they didn’t think Don’t Stop Me Now was anything special. Sometimes it can take a while for the true greatness of some songs to emerge. And huge hits can age really badly, (not Queen’s, tho).
For me, tho, Like you, It’s Late has been one of the GOATS right from the start.
So that was their first single. Think about that.
Exactly!
Nice reaction guys.
This debut from Queen was meant to have been a showcase for their abilities and style but the long intro meant radio eejits didn't want to play the song, and this being pre-video days the song passed people by.
The reaction by the band was to release Seven Seas Of Rhye as the second single as the explosive beginning literally 'throws everything at you' in the first 20 seconds.
Andy & Alex please...
keep this channel alive
@Wambo
😁😁😁
😂😂😂
This is a really fun jam song. Something to play in the car. Queen was somewhat known as an early metal band. They generally get a lot of respect from the metal community. This song really grows on you the more you hear it. It was written by Brian when he was in high school, apparently he meant for the song to be somewhat more cynical. But when Freddie sang the song he interpreted it as a more fun song. Nice reaction and analysis, as always guys!
Track 1 of Queen album 1, 1st single release, excellent track indeed. Brian said this track was meant to be a lot slower than this and more acoustic but I think Freddie got hold of it
I thought today was Tuesday until I saw this notification. lol
It still didn't click with me. All day yesterday I thought it was Tuesday.
Freddie was very tongue in cheek with some of his lyrics, doesn’t stop him from being a musical genius. ❤️
It is brians
Not written by Freddie! Written by Brian (hence the strength of the guitar) back when they were Smile! Which means, like Doing Alright, it wasn’t written with Fred in mind, and Brian has said that Freddie’s singing changed the tone from something much more ironic to something a little more ...honest and earnest I suppose. Which seems to characterize a lot of Fred’s influence on Brian in general, and shows how stabilizing he was against Brian’s depression.
Nice job! Another possible Queen song to react to is a medley of "Bicycle Race"/"Fat-Bottomed Girls" from 1978. They were the A and B sides of the same 45 record, and many radio stations back in the day used to play them back to back. Both are fun and bordering on silly. I'd go with an audio track that has both songs. (The actual promo video for "Bicycle Race" has naked women riding 10-speeds, and you probably want to keep your channel relatively clean. :-) )... And if you ever want to rock out to a female-led band, I recommend 1976's "Magic Man" by Heart (fronted by Canadian sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson). Again, I'd go with an album track video rather than a live version so you can hear it like we used to on the radio.
This has to be my favorite Queen song
There are 2 really short Queen songs that would be cool to see your reaction too. They are both so short that maybe you could do a double shot reaction...Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon and Nevermore.
And Dear Friends - its so short that it never gets a mention which is sad because it’s such a perfect little lullaby.
Hmm...I get the idea of clearing out a few at a time because they are short, but I don’t think I would recommend those together. They are SO different and from a couple albums apart. Kind of confuses the Queen timeline. Same with a Dear Friends. For myself, Night at the Opera is one I always listen to in order, (almost) in its entirety. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon is so much more musically interesting when you hear the songs before and after it (though Andy’s already done both of them). Andy, you need to eventually do album reviews! Queen was excellent at finding the right mix of songs, in the best order, for albums.
Heather Qualy Quite right, Heather. It would be better to play these short songs together with their adjacent songs on the original album, as Andy and Alex did with Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley.
Favorite drum solo of theirs. You guys NEED to do "In The Lap Of The Gods - Hammersmith Odeon, London". Freddie is always amazing, but the live vocals in that one is fucking ridiculous.
Yay! Great song and reaction, another oldie to check out is stone cold crazy! 😊
‘A gem’ - so heartfelt, Alex. That’s why Andy & Alex is the best reaction channel on RUclips - your reactions are both emotional and intelligent and always genuine. And, of course, you have great taste. Queen’s first song - and didn’t they lay out all their wares for us to see, right from the start? Everything that made them great was there from the beginning. I’m glad we’re lingering in early Queen for the moment. It feels right. Please linger among Queen’s first three albums for a while longer. Stone Cold Crazy must surely be next? The song where Queen invents speed metal. It will put a smile on your faces, for sure.
Now, Queen’s shortest songs are almost fragments but what shards of beauty they are. How are you going to approach reviewing songs like Dear Friends, Nevermore, Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon?
Great. Also listen to Modern Times Rock n 'roll from the same album.
VIVA QUEEN !!!
Good morning Guys! I really recommend you read the lyrics - the "Keep Yourself Alive" is sarcastic. It's really quite funny. I think this one really grows on you. It's certainly one of my favs for the car, along with Now I'm Here, Stone Cold Crazy, Tie Your Mother Down, Sheer Heart Attack.
BTW: I just got Queen On Air - Collection of Queen BBC radio recordings. It is AMAZING! They would go into BBC studios and record a session which they did a lot of impro on. So it has a semi live feel. There are two different versions of Keep Yourself Alive and Liar, Ogre Battle, and an amazing version of Son and Daughter. The recording quality is so good, it feels like they're in your living room!
Nice opener for a debut album. The intro is awesome :)
It was my favourite song , and now it on the my call on phone 😊
He plays freaking scales on a handmade electric guitar!! Dr. Brian May is a f**king genius!!! Badass as hell!!
Hi Guys this was my first Queen song I heard and even when I hear it now its still as tight and their first CLASSIC all the band members pull all the stops.
Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.
Mike Embleton 👋 just hello from States... Not a Stalker
@@carriestaker3856 hi Carrie great to hear from you and I know your not a Stalker stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.
Here I go again: Stone Cold Crazy
Good shout!
Yes!!!
U need to watch the live version so good
PLEASE REACT TO THE NIGHT COMES DOWN!!!
Great one Dudes!!!!
Chek out The Night comes down!!! You wont regret it! Great as always!!!
I just love this song, I listen to it every day and I think that it just screams iconic like right in your face😍
This is such a honest reaction. It doesn't feel like you're pondering to us Queen fans like other reactors are. You're just being fully honest. Loved this, keep it up!
@Gabrielle
😁😁😁
Another outstanding performance from Brian May, so looking forward to seeing Queen in Feb. The song was an 8 from me.
Please check out the song Say What You Will... by the band Fastway I guarantee you both will like that one
That was great, thanks for the awesome reaction you two. The intro to the song is extremely enti ing-- you just are so ready to get into the song because the beginning is so great.
Early Queen is just a classic; so glad you ae helping the present generation catch up to them. Your reactions are the best of the whole crop of Queen reactions that have come up recently like a rash.
This was my favourite reaction so far. I was smiling from ear to ear watching you both. Andy's face after the drum solo when Brian started playing guitar was priceless. Love this song. Watch out, it really grows on you. 9.5 from me! Please put Dragon Attack Live in Montreal up for the vote.
I bet you'll both give a perfect 10 to "Stone Cold Crazy" (sheer heart attack studio version)
Heyyyy Happy Wednesday , lol, ....soooo , keep yourself alive.....a surprice behind every Corner....Pretty High up in My fav list on the more Rocky Queen Songs .....makes me Happy ....absolutly looove the drumsolo ....
Again lots of words packed into the Verses....specially verse One.....Takes a good Singer to do that correctly without Fainting ....not much space for breathing here...
Try out a guy named Billy squire. He didn't have many hits but a couple of good ones. "The stroke" is one.
Absolutely check out Billy Squier. Actually, Queen worked with him a lot. You should listen to Emotions in Motion and Lonely is the Night or My Kind of Lover.
I LOVE this song! Just watch it grow on you as you give it airtime in the car. It’s one of my favourite running tracks 🏃🏻♀️
Queen's first song on their first album! One of the best intros to any band ever when it came out.
Do ppl a favour and play 'brighton rock ' queen
@@Rowan_Aitch I must have missed it
Brighton Rock Live (from live killers) is what they should do. The guitar solo is killer and the drum solo is a God send
@paul adams
Yes sir! Check the all mighty Queen Reaction Playlist!! 😁😁🔥
@@andyandalex checked it out ,I thought you would like it lol ,maybe take a look at some Roger waters , supertramp or Peter Gabriel , quit a mix I suppose lol
Listen to the album version to ‘Tie Your Mother Down’ awesome song! The album version is better than any live version in my opinion! Also ‘I Want It All’ !
One of my fav songs of Queen, I think you are pretty fair with your ratings, sometimes I'm not 100% agree with you, but I know that I'm not objective so...
Great job guys!
Please, if you can react to:
Fight from the inside
It's late
Misfire (you will be surprised with the lyrics 🤣)
Great song from the first LP! Please React to Queen - Great King Rat (from the same album)
Do, I WANT IT ALL! Do, I WANT IT ALL! Do, I WANT IT ALL! Do, I WANT IT ALL! Do, I WANT IT ALL!
I love this song!
This is the very first Queen song too!
that was their first hit in the UK......by the end of the second record (QUEEN II ) is when they began to realise that their production company was profiting more from their talent than they were...Their producer was was .....Death on Two Legs ! You need to do some more reactions under the influence of {water} like you did a few weeks back .
Nice reaction...... 🔥😎🎶🎸🎶🎤🎶
Just feel the sound off the great Queen!
Great reaction guys! This was their first proper single but it failed because of the long intro and 'it took too long for something to happen'. It is a fan favourite though! Great riff and vocals. Keep on rockin'!
Radio 1 didn't accept it on their playlist at the time (several times) and you needed that radio cover to sell a single back in the early 70s.
This is such classic Queen - it's a bit of rock, a little funk, then there's Brian's amazing riffage and a drum solo from Roger...insane 😅
My rating on most of Queen's hits will never be below a 9 - I've been *hearing* Queen since the late 70's when I was still 5-6, and just a few years later started actively listening to it. I've heard these songs so much over the years, they're ALL great - much better than ANYTHING out today. **A N Y T H I N G**.
Yeah, I like some better than others ("Seven Seas of Rhye" and "Don't Stop Me Now" are probably tied for #1 just because of how up tempo they are - THOSE are 10's for me), but yeah, 9+ even for songs like "You're My Best Friend" which I kinda have to be in the mood to listen to, but if it comes on, I'll listen.)
You already know what's up - Princes of the Universe 😁Next week! 🤴🏻
This was my original favourite Queen song when I was like 7 years old, still probably in my top 5. I have so many amazing memories connected to this song. Thank you guys for the great reaction.
This is a nice Queen kick you've guys have been on, and I've followed you on your Floyd ride but I think it's time you watch a guy who actually had a huge impact on Brian May's guitar playing.
Check out Rory Gallagher.
There's even a Rock'N'Roll mythos about a Jimi Hendrix interview where Jim 's asked what it's like being the greatest guitar player, his answer "I wouldn't know, better ask Rory Gallagher"

@CabAnSin leaf
Thanks for the tip man! And it’s cool you’ve been watching since then! Was so fun going through those albums! And I’ll have to check him out thanks! 😁
I’m very late adding this...I seem to remember that when you reacted to this you were not able to distinguish who was doing the backing vocals...now here’s your chance....Alex has posted Queen-Keep Yourself Alive (Official Video Remastered 4K-50FPS)...the quality is superb...enjoy!🤩
Another one that brings back high school memories!!!
Try the same song live in the concert to Montreal 👌👌
So cool you are watching the beginnings of Queen. You can watch how Freddie's vocals gave grown over the years. Love your channel
Love this song so much, turn it up boys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great video lads. Again, like It’s A Kind Of Magic, this isn’t my favourite Queen song. It’s still really good which goes to prove how brilliant their other songs are.! You should give Now I’m Here a spin... it’ll blow your socks off.! 🤟🏼💚
Great video. My u please do some INXS (Devil inside," "Don't Change", "just Keep Walking" are some good songs. And midnight Oil ("beds are Burning")
Review KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE from QUEEN LIVE KILLERS, more, powerful than the studio version.
Will u please react to hammer to fall and love of my life
It seems you're reacting to the heavy metal and progressive rock aspects of Queen. I think you need to react to more British glam rock from that same early 70s time frame; particularly David Bowie and T. Rex.
“Do you think you're better every day?
No, JSUDBRKSNSGRVVSKDHRN to my grave” 😂🤣
btw do you by any chance have a QUEEN TShirt at all? idk if u ever wore them on youtube amongst other
Next: stone cold crazy - live at the rainbow ‘74
I notice you guys have some good Progressive Rock numbers with Floyd,Rush and Deep Purple! Maybe you can listen to some early Genesis and Styx. A few suggestions are The Knife, The Musical Box, Firth of Fifth for Genesis then Castle Walls, Miss America, and Queen
Of Spades by Styx!!. Great reviews!
You forgot to congratulate QUEEN celebrating their 49th Anniversary on April 5th 2019.
Hey, Andy -- nice shirt! I own the same one now, too. ;-) The Mason show in Akron on Monday night was INSANELY good. Cheers!
@Duneedon
AWESOME!! Glad to hear you enjoyed it as well friend! Hell yeah! 😁🔥
If you haven’t done them yet-
Queen- Take My Breath Away album version
Freddie Mercury- Exercises in Free Love
Freddie Mercury featuring Montserrat Caballe- Barcelona
Something different than what you expect. Really want to see you guys open up to these types of songs. Get some more, culture like Freddie, you know lol. That’s what made Freddie so special. He was able to dabble in every type of music
Guys I've been enjoying ALL of your Queen reactions. Always intelligent appraisal of the music with real passion and joy. Bravo. It's a blast to see you discovering the music for the first time. Suggestion for very early Queen - The Night Comes Down from 1st album please!
great reaction video - excellent commentary !!
you guys should give a listen to Al Stewart - Roads to Moscow -
awesome lyrics !!! a truly great song and a great history lesson to boot !!
ruclips.net/video/WOx1qNUMnCc/видео.html
some info about the song
***"Roads to Moscow" is 1973 song by Scottish rock singer Al Stewart.
It appeared on his album Past, Present and Future, and tells the story of the German invasion of Russia during World War II,
as seen through the eyes of a Russian partisan who is described by one source as being Alexander Solzhenitsyn ***
So I'm sure someone's said something along these lines, but you guys should *absolutely* react to this live... Odeon 75' is my favourite, though Rainbow 74' is fantastic as well. I never even listen to the studio version any more, because the live performances are just on another level... they have that "something" that Andy said the song was missing.
When playing live, Queen often upped the tempo for their songs (excluding the ballad-type songs), and while I don't think it works for every song, the increase in intensity made Keep Yourself Alive a *million* times better. In both the Rainbow and Odeon performances Freddie sure as hell isn't sitting back, he is on FIRE, the whole band is rocking out, and Roger's drum solo is INSANE - way better than in the music video, if you can believe it!
(I read somewhere that Roger generally didn't like drum solos, since he finds them boring and egotistical, but I'm sure glad Queen kept the phenomenal drum solo in Keep Yourself Alive!)
Another tour de force guys, great reaction. Great song, and you are right it's all there, just waiting for them to find their feet. Maybe cut them a wee bit of slack it was their first single from 1973 😁😁 Stone Cold Crazy soon , I hope . Thank you 🤟🤟🤟🤟
