One of the things that amazes me is his enunciation ability. Even on these fast ones he is so understandable. Their early outfits were designed by Zandra Rhodes. I think that as they got older and became so successful they pretty much wore whatever they wanted.😊
I had seen so many comments on freddies ennounciation and didn't get it
what's the big deal about him saying the words clearly! isn't that what he's supposed to do!
I didn't actual say that in a reply though
I did get it when I started listening more to other people
especially metalica covering this i couldn't understand a word he was singing except 'stone clod crazy'!
and they won a grammy for their cover!
I can imagine Freddies response!
I've thought about this as well. Freddie's vocals are always so wonderfully clear. Might, just might, having the overbite have aided him in that as he'd have trained himself to speak carefully & clearly so as to avoid a lisp? (hear a soft one in some earlier songs and it's just lovely). Freddie's voice and delivery is just amazing. Forever missing someone I've never met.
When I saw Adam Lambert perform live this song and "Another one bites the dust"
also "Killer Queen" I realized that Freddie struggled the enunciation of fast complex lines
and delivered them at a slower speed than the recording.
Freddie could do it all...he was amazing!!!
I too find it difficult and yet amazing that Freddie was able to sing fast and clear
He was using the half mike stand during this performance. It was obscured by the background sometimes but it was definitely there. Freddie and the band were all perfectionists and very consistent. You will never hear a poorly performed song by them. You may not like a particular song (I can't imagine why) but it will always be well performed, and often the live performances are better than the studio version.
He is using the half mike stand, but as the lyrics are non-stop, you only see him holding the mike, supposedly the half stand came about when the stand he was using fell apart, and he liked the fact it gave him something to do with his hands.
I believe there is footage of Freddie with a full stand, back when the band was still called Smile.
Freddie had so much nervous energy, watching him with Montserrat Caballé trying desperately to stand still (and barely managing it) always makes me smile.
the half mic stand started when Freddie was with Ibex/wreckage
it hadn't been fitted properly and came aswy
his ex band member was explaining that Freddie decided to keep it as a gimmick
they were only advertised once as smile and that's because Rogers mum did the advert for a charity event
when they got there Freddie announced they will be known as Queen
and the next gig they were advertised as Queen
on the rock you video he has a full stand he tries to drag around I was surprised at that
he then took the mic off the stand all together
unless they couldn't I think he used half a stand from the begining he is on the TOTPs performances in 74
Yes, watching him with Montsy is funny. He's about to pop out of his shoes he's so exuberant!😛💛⚘ Got to Love him!
I had to go look! The lighting around him is also not solar-bright, and he's wearing black... so the mic stand isn't as noticeable.
Yes, he did have the half mic in this video and right from the very early days. To hear Freddie “spitting bars” as they say, try “Dead On Time” a brilliant track. There isn’t a live video so do the lyric video. Yes, do the lyric version of “Death On Two Legs” great lyrics, Freddie was truly p****d off 😂. ❤️Freddie❤️
This tune is so high intensity! I have it on dvd and play it frequently in my monster Jeep. Every time Stone Cold Crazy comes on, I find myself holding the pedal to the metal! Before I know it, I’m jamming and flying. Note to self: calm down and drive with caution when Queen is on🙋🏽♀️✌🏾👑
I agree with you on the difficulty it is to sing a song at that pace, I've listened and sang along to Stone Cold Crazy for decades now and its still hard to do. Lol. PEACE
Tag you’re it!😊
@@hippiejane2683 Yeah, this is the only way I can play tag these days. Lol. Happy 4th of July! PEACE
Yeah, just figurative for me too. Happy 4th to you too!🎇
Yeah, I have tried to sing this song many times and it takes a lot of practice to get all those words in and not get lost or miss a note. I like the energy of this song. Thank you for an excellent reaction as you always do. Michael Jackson picked up on the Freddie glove action and rolled with it, more or less making it a personal signature, MJ was a fan of Freddie. When Queen first formed, Freddie brought over clothes to one of the guy's houses and told them "This is what we are going to wear when we do our show." Freddie's idea was that having the clothes was part of the whole Queen image he wanted to create (Fred had a degree in design and fashion). He even made the band dress in the clothes for the advertising flyers because he said he wanted people to be intrigued before they even heard the band. Brian said that he actually liked the costumes and in his house today, he still has a special room where he has kept all of the clothes he wore while performing. Yeah, Freddie was a born rock star, right down to his fashion sense.
Deak hated it, though. Did it for Freddie until finally he spoke with him privately and said, basically, Fred do I HAVE to? Freddie said, no, you wear whatever you want. Such love and respect between them. Thus, John wearing his sweater vest on Don't Stop Me Now and his now iconic blue/blue 'ensemble' beginning in the early 80's. One of the funniest comments ever, I think it might be on the actual Somebody To Love in Montreal video (not a reaction), the person said, "John Deacon always looks like he's just strolling through Home Depot looking for paint." 😂
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
Metallica actually did a cover of this song, not death on two legs. Metallica did get a Grammy. Great reaction 🙂
They owned and operated a boutique while they were in college. Fashion queen since way back.
Freddie & Roger ran a market stall in Kensington market to try & make some money Brian has said they sold tat!!!!! 😂😂 they sold things like Edwardian scarves fox furs etc anything they could get their hands on to sell really 😊 Freddie hung his coat up & went off somewhere & Roger sold it Freddie had to go & find the lady when he came back for his coat to buy it back 😂😂
It wasn't a boutique. It was a market stall. Much less glamorous than a boutique.
Freddie also designed clothing himself, as part of his graphic arts degree. Basically women's clothes. One particular very glamorous coat he gifted to his sister. And though Zandra Rhodes designed the band's glam clothing, as usual, Freddie had a say in what he wanted her to make for him.
Interesting!
I’m here for Queen Sundays 🙌🏻 👑
Edit: I will never get over 70’s Freddie 🤩
70's Freddie was my favorite. Being only 10 days older than Brian, I was around 27 when I first heard Queen. I hated when he cut his hair and grew a mustache, as did a lot of his fans at the time.
@@barbarasaracini1271 I wish I was around in the rock n roll days. I would’ve loved it.
I’ve always listened to Queen as my grandparents and parents always had it on. Every New Year’s Eve and family parties we still blast Queen. Young and old.. we all know the words. Legends never die!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert I will be wearing my Freddie T-shirt for the next queen Sundays 😁 gotta be done.
Thank you for reacting to this amazing song. Freddie did make singing fast look easy. But then again he made everything he sang look easy. Love Queen Sundays. 💜💜💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹🌹💙💙💙
Freddie amazing at everything.
I agree with you about watching the other guys as well. Freddie is so captivating it takes me a few times to re watch the videos so I enjoy all of the amazing talent of Queen. 🙂
Nice reaction. The broken mike pre-dates Queen; happened while he was with the band ibex.
FREDDIE sings in TANGENTS that reflect CHORUS/LEAD VOCAL combinations --- cheese!
Love love love this song
I know, I know, Queen are amazing, right?
The very first speed-trash-metal song 😎👑🤘
Never put Queen in a box, they'll just blow it completely 😎👑🤘🔥💛💛💛
There is even a more (and official) heavier version of Queen avaible - check out the "Trent Reznor Remix" of this song. This version was the blueprint for the cover Metallica - who were huge Queen fans - did later on! :-)
Love this song Rad!! Queen stone cold! The "creators" of thrash metal. BAM!
These guys could do it all that's why we enjoy them so much.
remember siting in my Grandmothers house watching Live Aid at about 6 years of old and Queen appeared, blew my little mind
Short, but sa-weet!!
Wow, only 9 song left fot the 100 Queen Song. I´m lovinf these Queen Sundays, please keep them even after the 100 mark. I think this is one of the heaviest song they ever made, is really close to heavy metal, but still has it´s Queen sound. Also one of the shortest, is under 4 minutes ans for them that´s real short. And yes, this type of singing is damn hard because of breath control. Has always nice to see you fell in love with them, be safe my man.
I’m only about 25 queen songs in the rest are if other people
The half mic stand actually happened by accident, but Freddie liked the feel of it and it allowed him to move around the stage more easily, without having to drag the full stand around with him. He used to call it his cane.
yes you need to listen to death on two legs with lyrics
not sure you will 'enjoy it' as such as it's brutal!
but the phrase are very clever
Freddie was very very angry!
previous to this he did flick of the wrist when they were still with Trident but he denied it was about their manager
it clearly was!
'Death on Two Legs' (lyric version) vicious and laced with venomous vitriol, but oh so very eloquent.
some of the songs on QUEEN II and SHEER is that they meld into the next song sometimes not....QUEEN SUNDAY LIVE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL
THE GLOVE IS ------ yeah....
Hello Rad - Love your channel & I get excited for Queen Sundays 👏👏 Yes Freddie’s using the half mic stand it’s just blending in with his dark costume plus he’s not moving around. Early in Queen’s career the mic stand snapped & instead of having it replaced Freddie just went with it. Where is Freddie’s half mic stand now?? It is owned by Peter Hince (Ratty) who was Freddie & John’s personal roadie. Ratty is the guy who hands & retrieves the half mic to Freddie on stage. Freddie gifted the half mic stand to Ratty after his passing. Ratty had it dipped in gold & takes it with him when he gives talks & seminars about Queen. Notice the one glove Freddie is wearing?? Hmmmm wonder where MJ got the idea? 🤔
Queen Sunday got me to subscribe.
“Speed Rock” Early Queen is known for it, especially their earlier music. They were always known for their harmonies, but at the beginning they made “Speed Rock” a thing. It is amazing how you can understand him at that speed? I have a huge problem getting lyrics wrong, totally wrong, then I am singing with my daughter and she is like, wait, what did you just sing? She is like, MA, that isn’t even close to being right. 😂 Watch the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody and you will see how the half mike was born. It is a GREAT movie! Happy July 4th! ❤️
The movie is quite enjoyable, but viewers need to remember it is not a Documentary. With that in mind, Hollywood took liberties with timelines, and “creating” drama to make the movie more dramatic, enjoyable, but also to make $$$$. (For instance, Queen never “broke up” and Roger had done 2 solo albums, Brian 1 album before Freddie ever did!)
@@barbaramendoza2202 of course they did, they so often do. Closest I have ever seen Hollywood get it right was Harry Potter and they had many movies with that and it was all made up. Still they followed the books pretty well. Freddie’s story will always be complicated, he was a very complex guy. You can’t match his singing, you can’t exactly duplicate his moves, even if you knew him, very few people KNEW him. I have a brother that is very much like him in regards to private, quiet, an introvert that is the life of the party when we are all together. He is literally the favorite uncle, the favorite child, the favorite brother. He comes alive around people. But if you asked me, one of the people closest to him, to make a movie about his life, even I would struggle with parts of it and struggle trying to convey how introspective he really is if all you know is that funny, popular and wild dude around people? That is how I see Freddie, complex, thoughtful, insecure, but alive on stage. Rami put in the work, he did his best and it was a great movie, it is worth seeing it. It isn’t all correct, but it isn’t all wrong either. ❤️
Yay, short but great! If you want to see more amazingly fast singing I am holding out hope for Don't Stop Me Now :) Freddie broke a mic stand in the very early days and stuck with the shorter piece. He liked having a prop. It represented different things at different times...sometimes a guitar, sometimes...er, well...a little bit racier.
yeah the nic stand happened when he was with Ibex
it wasn't secured properly and came off but decided to use it as a gimmick
so he had that when he started with Queen
You can tell the older songs by a few things, hair, fashion, etc, but one thing I always gauge by is Roger's drum set. In the 80s, he's playing twice this many drums. His current drum set might be 3x this size. At some point, it might be fun to react to the current Queen + Adam Lambert. Adam is no Freddie, obviously, but he's exceptionally good at being Adam. Roger and Brian are both in their early 70s and haven't missed a beat. Brian calls Adam "a gift from God." He is very possibly the best male singer/performer of his generation and then some. He is very aware that he's not Freddie, nor does he attempt to be, which I appreciate.
Killer Queen
Another one bites the dust
Who wants to live forever
are better performed by Adam than Freddie
@@roverwaters3875 Blasphemy. And I love Adam Lambert. He does a great Killer Queen, but there isn't anyone like Freddie.
I may be the only one that has this preference but I always prefer someone to listen to the studio version first - just so they understand what the song was "supposed" to sound like before listening to the great live versions
Actually I agree with you especially on certain songs with complex layering in the studio version - like this one and fbg.
I think you make a valid point and i do plan on listening to the studio versions of all these songs i just like seeing them in their element performing. Especially when it’s the first time
A song I'd love to hear you react to is no one but you. It is the tribute song they sang after Freddy passed. It's one of the last songs that John Deacon played with them. Makes me cry every single time I watched them and it's a truly beautiful song that I believe Brian wrote
You mention Freddie's rapid fire singing here. I saw a comment elsewhere by a guy from Iran. He quipped that only someone with Persian ancestry could sing that fast. Freddie was unique in so many ways.
your Freddie simping has no limits...
That fast singing style became normal as what Queen was doing here has turned into thrash metal in the future, so bands like Metallica also had their singing fast like that, although in Met's early days James wasn't really singing, but he got better and better. James Hetfield the lead singer from Metallica also sang this together with Queen live at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, you gotta check it out how James sung it, pretty Metal. Queen was just *amazing*
He brought the half mike with him to Queen. The mike stand came apart with one of his earlier band's performance and he just went with it. He was with at least 2 bands before Queen.
Death On Two Legs, but Flick of the Wrist was a precursor to that one, and is worth listening to as well.
Metallica did a popular cover of Stone Cold Crazy and got a Grammy for it.
Great review. You are very observant and I don't think too many other singers could do that rapid fire verse.
Metallica got Grammy for Stone Cold Crazy. They never did a cover of Death on Two Legs but Dream Theater did
Metallica got their Grammy for this song.
@@eroy66 you are correct, I miss spoke
Love it!!! -Please react to: Queen -Crazy Little Thing Called Love -Thanks!!!
This is the version where Roger (being the one who sets the pace) MIGHT have been trying to kill everyone. 😝
Stone Cold Crazy: I’m 239 beats per minute on the studio version.
Freddie, Brian, and John: Whew! We can do it, though!
Roger live: I think it needs to be faster.
Freddie, Brian, and John: 😳😳😳
This is another one that pays to watch a lyric video; the guitar work on the official record is even more crazily fantastic than this one. As far as the singing difficulty you are so right; pay attention that very last note Freddie sings - it's exactly in the major chord - unlike anyone else I've heard singing this song including Metallica. To be that precise and know which notes are crucial to emphasize requires both skill and sophistication musically.
Look again, Freddie had the half mike from the start.
He is using the half mic stand. Unfortunately you can't really see it simply because of his constant movements. He started using it before Smile/ Queen... somewhere between Ibex / Wreckage and Sour Milk Sea. Freddie wrote this before Queen in around 1968 / 69. Freddie wore the one glove before Michael Jackson!
Is DEACON JOHN playing BASS or RHYTHM GUITAR on some of the shots for this TRACK ----- ?
Freddie get the half-mic by an acsident, a sort of. He was on stage, should start singing. He whant to take the mic out of the stick, but he couldent get the mic out. He get so angry that he try to hard to get the mic of, suddenley the its break from eatcouther half way down, and he stood there, with the mic like we alway have seen him…..he saw at it smile and thinking Woaw thats for me cool……or somthing, in the movie they show it. I had read about it, and thats one of the thing in the movie thats are true 🎤❤️🔥
well kind of true!
it happened with Ibex
he wasn't trying to get it out or getting angry
it wasn't secured properly so came away and he decided to keep it as a gimmick with Ibex and when they started Queen
they decided to be called Queen before they ever performed
but when Tim left they were supposed to be doing a charity gig
Rogers mother advertised them as Smile
when they were on stage Freddie announced they would be Queen
their next show they were advertised as Queen
I sent you a link Brian’s best solo.
This was early on I don't think freddie caught on to the stick yet
this is one of Freddies pre Queen with Ibex
but it's credited to Queen so I'm assuming they reworked the composition?
it wasn't released as a single which I think was mad of them
Metalica did a cover in 91 and won a Grammy for it!
I wonder what Freddie thought of that!
thankyou for bringing attention to freddies singing
when someone is good at something you dont realise how difficult what he's doing is
only freddie can front a rock band wearing balled shoes and leotard and make it seem perfectly normal!
"only freddie can front a rock and roll band wearing balled shhoes and leotard and make it seem perfectly normal!"
there were dozens of glam rock bands that did it before Queen and Freddie, in fact Freddie copied them.
@@roverwaters3875
I don't think you bothered reading my comment properly did you
I had a quick look and I was offered pictures of either artists or glam rock bands that looked like kids had got carried away with the dress up box and mummies make up box
I was saying how Freddie could front a 'rock band' wearing a leotard and balet shoes and make it look 'completly normal'
and I'm guessing it did seem outragous to the others
he thought it was important for them to have more of an image and wear costumes as part of putting over more of a performance than just standing there in normal clothes and delivering a song
which is what Brian Roger and Tim had been doing in smile
my point was I don't think leotard and ballet shoes was a normal look for a 'rock band'
and he made it look like it was a completly normal thing to do
he didnt look like he had raided the dress up box
so which lead singer of a 'rock band' do you think he was copying then
You should check out their 'Tie Your Mother Down' when you can.
I wouldn't call him a fashion icon, only because very few people (if any), had the balls to dress like Freddie did. ~ David's wife.
There is a story of why he started using the half mic stand by accident. Can't remember why. If stand broke during show or what. Can probably look it up why.
happened when he was with ibex it wasn't secured properly an he decided to keep it as a gimmick
John Deacon wrote this with Brian. Back in early Queen says he went by Deacon John.
I don't think Brian and John ever wrote together
this is one of Freddies pre Queen with Ibex
but they did re compose it I'm assuming as it's credited to Queen
According to the album Sheer Heart Attack released in 1974, lyrics are credited to Brian May and Deacon John (who is John Deacon, which I learned from Brian in a documentary) that is the source of my comment. If the album is wrong...I don't know.
@@amadeusm740
I'm surprised they made a mistake on the album so it's fine you trusted that
but it's freddies
wiki isn't always accurate it has the song credited to all of them but says its becuase they forgot who wrote it
so they must have changed the composition
Brian has said Freddie wrote it pre Queen and it was played in 1970 before John jooined them
google also has it as Queen
Cornwall’s Truro City Hall. “And the first song we played was Stone Cold Crazy,” Grose recalled.
Stone Cold Crazy was one of Freddie’s frenetic ideas,” May said in 2014. “But the original was much slower.”
until Queen’s third album, 1974’s Sheer Heart Attack, it was conceived by the future Freddie Mercury before Queen existed.
@@bluebell3720 I agree that the lyrics have Freddie written all over it, however, playing at the Rainbow in 1975, he simply announced the song as being from the Sheer Heart Attack album. Knowing what we know about Freddie's modesty, hard to believe that he didn't claim credit for it. Go figure. Anyway, great song. Still think Killer Queen was super unique in lyrical composition
@@amadeusm740
sorry not sure how to take your comment about Freddie
he announced lots of songs but didn't normally then state who had wrote it not that I've ever seen and lots of them were his
I looked up credits for the song on the album and wasn't offered anything
I was offered lots of articles and quotes claiming it was freddies song/lyrics from before they formed Queen but credited to all of them making me assume it was the composition that was changed
i just found this
John and Roger each wrote one, and Stone Cold Crazy was credited as a four-way composition, though it had started off as a Wreckage song, written by Freddie.
(he renamed Ibex wreckage)
if you do a quick search you will see
I quoted to you Brian saying it was Freddies song but originally slower
Gorse who was with them before john said they played it in Toronto
so how could it be a song by Brian and john when john wasn't in the band and Brian said it was Freddies!
and does a thrasheque song sound like something John would write/compose!? No
and I have never heard of Brian and John writting together
Brian didnt like Johns style of music
The Freddie fanboying knows no limits in the comments section... really shallow superficial "fans" do this
if you ever consider doing covers. Marc Martel is Freddie reincarnated. He talent was used in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody worth checking him out
Reincarnated Freddie? Please…Only similar voice. Freddie ´s personality, charisma and talent is on another level . It ´s my opinion
@@Danielik25 agreed but still super talented. I wasnt insinuating that he likes the same food and lifestyle etc..:) Cheers
@@dbrgr68 I agree 💕
Yes. along with a blend of Freddie and Rami is what I read.
Why would they use someone else when they still have the original recordings. According to the Rolling Stone magazine and Brian May Instagram most of the singing from the film came from MERCURY HIMSELF. The film used Queen's Master Tapes and they added martel's voice to FILL IN some part.
