Freddie, Brian, and Roger: I’m wearing my rock star outfit for the video. John: Imma wearing the vest my aunt gave me for Christmas last year. And yes, Brian often uses a coin to play his guitar. He likes the sound it produces.
Yep - Freddie was like: "ima dress sexy & tight black clothes".. and Brian was.. "okay, I like my bell-bottomed jeans and Victorian-style tops".. Roger was "okay, I'm cool... I might just do a striped t-shirt...".. and John Deacon was "I think I'll just rock this pastel sweater vest that my grandma made..." One more thing to love about these guys.. everyone had their own style, in addition to the musical talent...
Yup. An old pre-decimal sixpenny piece... and he still uses one. “I used to play with those little plastic picks but I always found that they were too bendy,” May says. “I couldn’t really feel what was happening as the thing touched the strings. I went into harder and harder picks, until they were too stiff. Then one day I picked up a coin, which happened to be a sixpence, and I thought, ‘That’s all I need’.”
@@johnsmith-es7zk Yes. It had to be before 1950, because that's when the composition of the metal was changed, but there is a year he prefers. I just can't remember whether it was 1946 or 1947.... 🤔
Hey coach..just talent overload...no auto tune..no computers..emm do we see ear buds..no .they know the songs they are going to sing...to perfection with a little improv..
Yes!!! Scientists I believe reviewed the melody and rhythm and lyrics and I think it is voted the happiest song ever written! Definitely one of the ultimate floor fillers of all time! Loved your reaction! You should check out Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy live top of the pops 1977! The lyrics and melody of that is so good too! 👍 🔥😎👌
One of my favourites too, Mrs Coach - in fact you will probably find that your Queen favourites change regularly. About the way they are dressed - Freddie, rock and roller, Brian - on his way to a Star Wars convention, Roger - night club manager with that showy jacket, John - works in a bank!
Yes, Brian always uses a British sixpence as his pic. The sixpence hasn't been circulated since 1980 but Brian's roadie has been able to find bags of them for sell at antique stores so Brian has a healthy supply. "I used to use very bendy picks because I thought it was good for getting speed," Brian said. "But I gradually discovered that I wanted more and more hardness in the pick, and the more rigid it is, the more you feel what's happening at the string in your fingers." "So in the end, I picked up a coin, and it was just perfect. That's all I needed. And I changed the way that I held the pick, sort of bending one of the fingers around, and I never went back from that point. It has this lovely serrated edge, and if you turn it at an angle to the strings, you get a lovely kind of splatter" The sixpence didn't just change Brian's technique, the old British coin has another intrinsic quality for guitar playing. "The sixpence has another great advantage - it's hard enough to give you all that contact and it's also soft enough not to break the steel strings because it's made of nickel silver or whatever. And it has this lovely serrated edge, and if you turn it at an angle to the strings, you get a lovely kind of splatter. So to me, the guitar is like a voice, and that splutter is one of the consonants that helps to make the guitar talk."
@@Suprahampton Not exactly true. Over the years, Brian May has had special edition sixpences produced. In 1993, Brian ordered sixpence-sized “coins” minted for sale to concertgoers. Better described as medals, the 36-millimeter pieces depict May’s name, bust, and “BACK TO THE LIGHT” on one side with the phrase “FIRST PICK,” the word “OFFICIAL,” May’s initials “BM” and the year-date on the other side. In 2020, there was a Brian May edition sixpence, but it’s currently sold out on the Queen website. Other editions include commemorative coins from the 2005 Queen/Paul Rodgers tour and a gold sixpence celebrating the 50th anniversary of his iconic Red Special guitar. In 2023, Brian released two new collectibles from the Brian May collector's sixpences to tie in with the release of the Star Fleet Album.
It's time for a small history lesson with Freddie and the boys 😅: "I'm a racing car, passing by like LADY GODIVA 😮 I'm gonna go, go, go, there's no stopping me ..." Lady Godiva was a medieval (11th century) Anglo-Saxon noblewoman mostly remembered by a legend in which she rode her horse naked (covered just with her long hair) through the streets of Coventry. Her husband imposed harsh taxes on his tennants and she begged him not to. He promised her that he will not inforce that if she will ride naked throug town. She did and tenants witnessing that kneeled beside her path and out of respect not raising their eyes and avoiding looking at her.
Yep Brian uses a sixpence coin because it makes a particular noise on the strings, he has one glued to the headstock of The Red Special. Brian brings his own sixpence coins out every now and then with his face on it, I have most of them.
I love when you react to Queen! Even to the ballads, Coach. 😉 Y'all are just wonderful plain folks. Thanks for being here! (I was going to respond to your questions and thoughts, but other Queenies got here first!)
We appreciate it. We try to be ourselves and not fake our reactions. We know that may not be as exciting to some people but we're doing it our way. Glad some folks appreciate it. Thanks so much!
Oh I am sooo late! Missed the fun! Yup, scientifically proven the most uplifting song ever written. Jazz album. There is no stopping Mr. Fahrenheit and brilliant Brian that explains the 500 million strikes on Spotify.... Ah, da, da, da, da Thank you for reacting to Queen treasures and for keeping Freddie's memory alive! Queen Army loves your reactions!! We got here first.
We're glad to see you! We have another Queen tomorrow but later in the day. We have one posting early, then Queen later. It might be our favorite one so far!
@@CoachCastTV it looks like you love fine guitars you should check Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Alchemy Live) you might like it. Let's see which one of the Queen songs you will react next to. I bet you it will be a fav for a while till you bump on the next Queen one to become one. Their music is so mathematically calculated and intelligent that after listening to them for 30 years (started at 8 years old) i am still confused which one is my fav. They are like a never-ending Santa's bag with Christmas gifts. There is one for each one of us then another.
He does talk silly sometimes He started claiming concern years later when they had started working with Adam He had said in interviews he saw it as sepratism He has also said he didn't like it that Freddie wouldn't let him play more guitar on it He ignored Freddies wishes and wrote parts for it anyone trying to win him over still no! When Freddie died he did a guitar version! There wasn't any reason to be concerned of Freddie at that time health wise Relationship wise he left Mary of 6yrs for David Minns he was with for 3 years then left him for Joe Fanelli who he was with when he wrote this
Hello my friends! Cool this video which reminds me of my first loves from my youth, did you know that it is a song which was elected as the most (difficult to express it in English) which gives you the most sin, of courage of cheerfulness, to wake up well, to start a good day before going to work! Brian May often plays with a One pence coin with his Red Special guitar, which gives him a unique sound from this guitar which he built himself with his father, as well as the part of the microphones and the wood coming from his fireplace , the vibrato was taken from his grandmother's knitting needle too, hence his experience as an astrophysicist, very gifted and intelligent like the other 3 members of the group of course. I watch your channel very often with other groups which I appreciate or not, laughs! This is what makes us, Queen fans, our strength, so all styles of music combined from AC/Dc to Massive Attack. I'm waiting for my suggestion to pass because as I told you before, this one is really worth watching, it's really full of surprises, you'll even wonder if it's really Queen! so I'm still waiting for this suggestion, I'm impatient and above all I dedicate it for you sir who is a fan of AC/DC yes really
I LOVE your reactions so much they make me so happy everything I see you guys posted a new Queen reaction. If you guys wanna see something epic I recommend you guys watch We are the Champions/God Save the Queen live at Wembley 1986 it’s like one of my favorite Queen live performances
Brian used a six pence coin. He said it allowed his fingers to be closer to the strings and guitar which gives him better control. England had a coin minted with him on it.
Yes, Coach, it's been used a commercial. Which one escapes me right now. And yes, Brian is using a Sixpence. He liked the sound he could get out of it. It is stiffer, the ridged edge creates a unique and the metal on metal sound if he slides it up or down the string.
Hello Mr & Mrs Coach. In answer to the question yes Bryan May played guitar using a silver Six pence. I think in America you would call ot a nickel. Always great watching your reactions. Please check out songs from the Made in Heaven album.
You guys should listen to "flick of the wrist" live at the rainbow 1974 It was basically a warning to their old managers before they had their last straw The first of queens diss tracks And the lesson of that song is not to piss of mr. Mercury And then the next "diss" song, "death on two legs" is basically them calling out their manager and giving a big "F" you!
Yes Brian is using a coin as a pick. Always has. lol. John is in an old man sweater vest while Freddie is wearing leather with a Mineshaft tee underneath. 😳 The chorus is constantly used in commercials.
Hey, Coachies! Been used in some movies and commercials... once voted "the happiest song ever"... lol.. it is damned happy, right? Love your reactions.. keep it goin'! (p.s. Brian often did use a "six-pence" coin as a pick- nice catch!)
Brian does talk silly sometimes He started claiming concern years later when they had started working with Adam He had said in interviews he saw it as sepratism He has also said he didn't like it that Freddie wouldn't let him play more guitar on it He ignored Freddies wishes and wrote parts for it anyone trying to win him over still no!

Oh and, FOR SURE you guys have heard bits of this song sampled in TV commercials, and just didn’t notice/realize it…. The other song that’s sampled a lot in commercials is: “I WANT IT ALL”.💕
? He had left Mary of 6yrs for David Minns who he'd been with for 3yrs who he left for Joe Fanelli he was with him when he wrote this Brian talks nonsense sometimes Him and Roger like to forget they were also permiscious What was it they were warning him about in 1978! The only thing Bruan was worried about was it effecting the band
@@bluebell3720 No. 1 nose candy was immense. Watch the live concert footage with cocaine addicts sweating profusely and using his towel to suppress his nostrils with mucus.
Brian uses a sixpence as a pick, (small English coin) he always said he liked the sound of it better than a pick! Thank you Mr & Mrs Coach, love from Oz🇦🇺
Please Please Please react to: I want it All(for some amazing guitar-play, vocals and lyrics) Was it All worth it (overal greatness) Innuendo (sort of better version of bohemian Rhapsody) You will thank me later. Trust me! Greetings from the Netherlands
Brian always uses a coin to play the guitar. Still uses it to this date. This is my favourite song. When they show the band at the beginning and Roger’s drumming.
This song is probably one of the top 10 all-time feel-good songs, and I would certainly vouch for that. You don't get a lot of Brian's guitaring in this song, but it is certainly worth waiting for, The live concerts tend to feature a lot more of the guitar, which you have probably noticed with Queen. Brian May used an old English sixpence coin, which was out of production in the early 1970s, as a pick. He has them specially produced just for him. He said that the plastic picks were too bendy, and he couldn't feel what was happening when they touched the strings. He will also use his fingers when needed. He said, 'Sixpences are very soft metal, which doesn’t hurt the guitar strings, but if I turn that serrated edge at an angle to the string, I can get that kind of articulating percussive consonant sound - I call it graunch. Before about 1950, they had a high content of nickel, which makes them really soft, so I especially like a 1947 sixpence - the year that I was born'.
Mr. Fahrenheit is traveling with the speed of light 😅 and he is enjoying the journey... I just love this song because they are all having a good time. Even Brian playing his amazing 🎸 solo at its beginning Freddie says: "Sing it Brian!" and Brians smile is ❤. Thanks to his band mate and friend astrophysics/Nasa consultant Dr Brian May Freddie beside having a planet named after him 😅 now has his own asteroid. The asteroid was discovered in 1991 (the year of Freddie's transition to another dimension) and at Freddie's heavenly 70th birthday it was named Asteroid 17473freddiemercury 💫🥰 You can watch Brian's emotional announcement and see the Freddie's asteroid telescope footage. "It's a dot of light, but a special dot of light" says Brian ❤💫🎵❤️ ruclips.net/video/o2vo6VR51eA/видео.htmlsi=xYzNVLvhqPYzzWga
This is fun song by QUEEN. This song was appropriate when Freddie Mercury was honored by IAU (International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center) led by Brian May for their discovery of Asteroid in 1991, the same year Freddie Died. On Sept 2016, at the age of 70 yrs. old. The Asteroid they discovered was rename to Freddie as "ASTEROID 17473 FREDDIE MERCURY", as Brian May said during the announcement - " This is also to recognize Freddie's outstanding influence in the world". The certificate of designation was given by Joel Parker of Southwest Research Institute. Freddie Mercury is indeed Mr. Fahrenheit and nothing could stop him from creating great music. Unparalleled talent and character loved not only by his family members in the band but also by the whole world. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Coach for the good reaction. I also enjoy watching the rest of your content. I also know some new ones from other bands, but of course QUEEN and Freddie Mercury will always be my number one 1. Stay safe always!🙂❤
Surprised you haven't heard this one coach but just read that it only reached number 86 in the us billboard charts in 1979 so that probably why, a very popular song over here in the UK despite only reaching number 9 in our charts, still plenty more songs to work your way through ut you are doing a great job of it and always look forward to your reactions and not just the queen ones , have a look at another song called breakthru by queen , catchy little number with a good video, no live alternative unfortunately, it's not a ballad, I promise 😂
LOL...that's a plus but we do throw in a few ballads to keep Mrs. Coach happy sometimes. Yeah, in 1979 I was 11 and not heavily into the rock scene for a few more years. We truly appreciate you!
I love the lyrics of this. Reminds me of my youth. I still have a good time (watching your reactions for example), but they don't call me "Mr. Fahrenheit" anymore. I'm traveling more at the speed of sound (or music) these days ;>)
Hi folks! I'm sure you have heard this-it's been turning up in commercials for the last few years. You'll hear it all summer, serenading some young people-centric silliness, but it's nice to hear Freddie in any capacity. Yes, that is a coin the Doc is using-he used to play exclusively with a 10p coin; serrated edges and all that. I tried it when I was a young guitar player. Got the 10p coin and everything. Trust me. That's not for anyone but the Doc. Nothing really for me to add here, except, welcome to the Jazz album. It only gets weirder from here. Love you guys!
Great song, great reaction! Would love to see you react to Fleetwood Mac as well. Queen always at the top of my list but Fleetwood Mac comes in second - they-re really great.
Hi Mr and Mrs Coach, I put a list together of Queen songs for reactors like yourself who are going down the Queen rabbit hole You have already reacted to some, but I wasn’t going to go through and delete them 😊 When you come across a video that just has clips from other videos or concerts, that is because Freddie was getting more and more ill and wasn’t able to do performances for their video they got into the late 80’s and early 90’s. The days of our lives was his last video and he looks skinny and could barely stand up. Queen songs - Somebody To Love - Live 1981 Montreal and Official video - Bohemian Rhapsody Official video and live at Wembley - Under Pressure - live at Wembley - Save Me - live Montreal 1981 - Now I’m Here - live at Wembley - You take My Breath Away - live at Hyde Park - Stone Cold Crazy - live at the Rainbow) - In The Lap of the Gods live at the Rainbow - Fat Bottom Girls live at Milton Keynes - Liar - You’re My Best Friend (Official Video) - Cool Cat - One Vision live at Wembley - One Vision 20 minute documentary showing the band in the studio recording the song - We Are The Champions Live - We Will Rock You live - Play The Game live at Montreal 1981 - Doin’ Alright - live Earls Court 1977 - Who wants to live forever - live at Wembley and Official video (with choir) - Don’t Stop me Now Official video - I Want it All Official video - A Kind Of Magic live at Wembley - Live Aid Charity concert 1985 - Love of My Life live at Wembley or Rock in Rio with 350,000 + Brazilians singing the song to Freddie (each version is different but so good) - Spread Your Wings Official video - Seven Seas of Rhye - The Show Must Go On - Seaside Rendezvous (30th anniversary video) - Good Old Fashioned lover boy - Killer Queen - Headlong (Official video) - Innuendo - White Queen live 1974 Hammersmith - I’m In Love With My Car live - The Days Of Our Lives - Thank God it’s Christmas (Official video) - Keep Yourself Alive - live at the Rainbow - It’s Late (Official video) - The Miracle (Official Video) - Princes of the Universe - I’m Going Slightly Mad - One year of love - No One But You (Brian wrote this as a tribute after Freddie passed. He and Roger are on vocals. People always talk about Freddie’s voice, but they can also sing really well.)
Thank you very much. This is helpful and yes, we've done some and read many of the others in the comments, but not all of them. This is a great place now to go back and check for great content, not that we'll ever run out. LOL We appreciate it!
what I always wonder is why don't reactions talk about that he's STANDING at the piano. Good of you for mentioning not LOOKING at the keys now just think of the additional oddness to position from his perspective. He uses a hyper extended wrist in sitting position just image how hard that would be from a STANDING position. 😊
The US hated it UK no 9 at the time It's now their second most popular and successful Its used in a few films adverts... Classed as the happiest/ feel good song and best song to drive to!
If you wanted to go deep down the rabbit hole, why not react to some of these relatively unknown songs that show a completely different side of Queen. "39" sung by Brian “Action This Day” “Bring Back That Leroy Brown” “Doing All Right” “Don’t Try Suicide” “Headlong” “Jealousy” "Jesus" “Las Palabras de Amor (The Words of Love)” “Let Me Entertain You” “My Fairy King” I particularly recommend “Princes of the Universe”. “Ride the Wild Wind” “Spread Your Wings” special suffering from John “The Invisible Man” “White Queen (As It Began)” about the decline of the Native Americans “Is This the World We Created...?” A song about how we treat the earth “Mustapha” “Seaside Rendezvous” has a 1920s vibe “Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)” This song was made for their Japanese fans and was played at the opening of the Olympic Games in Tokyo
@@CoachCastTVI also recommend Resurrection (official video remastered ) from Brian May (with Cozy Powell on drums). It will literally blow your mind ... 😮
I like your sincere and non-theatrical reactions! A very different (clothes, looks, scenario) from this one official video - I'm Going Slightly Mad. Would be great if you react to it. ❤
Coach, A couple of songs with AMAZING guitar playing: “PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE” official MV “PUT OUT THE FIRE” official MV These first two have my FAV guitar solos.😄 AND… “GET DOWN, MAKE LOVE” LIVE at 1981 MONTREAL …This shows the INSANE “special effects” Brian is able to produce w his guitar! (This last song has very R RATED lyrics, tho… Maybe Mrs. Coach will want to skip it, or cover her ears during the raciest part!😳)
I like your reaction video, it's feel so genuine in how you commenting, it's like you seeing those video for the the first time. Good. So... Please react to: EXO - Love Me Right EXO Dingo Music Chanyeol - Stay With Me SNSD ft Suju - Seoul Song BabyMonster - Dream
The history of this song was based on real-life events transpiring in the band. Freddie had fully embraced the "gay lifestyle" and was partying hard while using alcohol and drugs and it began worrying the members of the band. Freddie was still doing his job but he was high a lot and the band could see he was often frazzled the wild partying. So they all decided to confront him and try to convince him to slow down. The discussion did not go well. Freddie told them to butt out of his life because he could handle it and not to worry. He was having too good and he was happy. Next thing they knew, Freddie came up with this song which all the band agreed was good. Nevertheless, Brian had reservations about recording it because he felt it was supporting what Brian felt were poor choices that Freddie was making. (Brian is the only member of Queen who never smoked or used drugs though he did drink.)
❤❤❤❤😊😊😊At this point of their career, Queen dressed like they were going to four different events and decided to go on stage
🤣😁
Freddie, Brian, and Roger: I’m wearing my rock star outfit for the video.

I'm pretty sure that its has to be a certain year too because of the make up of the coin. Fans would send them to him.

LOL!
It's used all over the place and yes Sir Brian has always used a Sixpence (all one word one of our old coins)
Lovely Freddie singing my favorite Queen song.
Yes this song has been used in many commercials! Brian does play with a coin! And this was voted the happiest song ever written!
Brian does use a coin to play guitar, and yes you most likely have heard the opening in a commercial or tv show. Thanks for the reaction, as always!

Perfect quotes, @Sassypaws4927. Great job!
@@CoachCastTV They had a serrated edge to them, which added more effect to the strings when he struck them. I'd say to this day, he still uses them.

This song is in the sonic movie lol my son recognizes it from that every time and now loves Queen because of it ♥️
That's awesome!
I saw them in the late 70's. Thin Lizzy opened up. It was an amazing concert
Another suggestion is "I want it all" .... Thank you Mr & Mrs Coach 💕
Guess what the other video mentioned at 7:03 is :D
Brian used to use a British sixpence coin as his pick, I don't know if he still does? :-)
That's a nice small coin. Very understandable. I think I have one left in a pouch somewhere.
Yes he still does
Brian also liked it’s serrated edge, as it could give his sound a sort of a ‘growl’….
@@susanp.7954 Which, should the occasion demand, would match up very well with Freddie.
Freddie! 😘
It's time for a small history lesson with Freddie and the boys 😅:
"I'm a racing car, passing by like LADY GODIVA 😮 I'm gonna go, go, go, there's no stopping me ..."
Lady Godiva was a medieval (11th century) Anglo-Saxon noblewoman mostly remembered by a legend in which she rode her horse naked (covered just with her long hair) through the streets of Coventry. Her husband imposed harsh taxes on his tennants and she begged him not to. He promised her that he will not inforce that if she will ride naked throug town. She did and tenants witnessing that kneeled beside her path and out of respect not raising their eyes and avoiding looking at her.
Have heard that story, and it's also a pretty darn good chocolate. LOL

This song is about when Freddie was doing anything and everything with anyone and everyone. The lyrics explain themselves.
I suggest "The Miracle" where kids take the place of the guys !!! Love you guys , your insight is right on !

This is my fav song of queen and fav Freddie's look ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The best book to read about Queen is called Queen Unseen by Peter Hince their roadie & friend!!🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧
One of your first reactions was Somebody to Love, live at Montreal. In Milton Keynes Freddie sings it in a blues style. You will love it.
Coach loves the blues.
I bet the last time Mrs. Coach saw a sweater vest was on Moonbyul in Mamamoo's Killing Voice. Lol
Haha, good point!
Hello my friends!
Cool this video which reminds me of my first loves from my youth, did you know that it is a song which was elected as the most (difficult to express it in English) which gives you the most sin, of courage of cheerfulness, to wake up well, to start a good day before going to work!
Brian May often plays with a One pence coin with his Red Special guitar, which gives him a unique sound from this guitar which he built himself with his father, as well as the part of the microphones and the wood coming from his fireplace , the vibrato was taken from his grandmother's knitting needle too, hence his experience as an astrophysicist, very gifted and intelligent like the other 3 members of the group of course. I watch your channel very often with other groups which I appreciate or not, laughs! This is what makes us, Queen fans, our strength, so all styles of music combined from AC/Dc to Massive Attack. I'm waiting for my suggestion to pass because as I told you before, this one is really worth watching, it's really full of surprises, you'll even wonder if it's really Queen! so I'm still waiting for this suggestion, I'm impatient and above all I dedicate it for you sir who is a fan of AC/DC yes really
We truly appreciate you watching the channel. We do believe the Queen fans are fantastic.
I LOVE your reactions so much they make me so happy everything I see you guys posted a new Queen reaction. If you guys wanna see something epic I recommend you guys watch We are the Champions/God Save the Queen live at Wembley 1986 it’s like one of my favorite Queen live performances
You are very kind, thank you. We'll keep this in mind.
Brian used a six pence coin. He said it allowed his fingers to be closer to the strings and guitar which gives him better control. England had a coin minted with him on it.
This song picks me up everytime
Yes, Coach, it's been used a commercial. Which one escapes me right now. And yes, Brian is using a Sixpence. He liked the sound he could get out of it. It is stiffer, the ridged edge creates a unique and the metal on metal sound if he slides it up or down the string.
Hello Mr & Mrs Coach. In answer to the question yes Bryan May played guitar using a silver Six pence. I think in America you would call ot a nickel.
Always great watching your reactions.
Please check out songs from the Made in Heaven album.
Thank you!
Don’t play this while you are driving, you’ll never stick to the speed limit ….!
You guys should listen to "flick of the wrist" live at the rainbow 1974
It was basically a warning to their old managers before they had their last straw
The first of queens diss tracks
And the lesson of that song is not to piss of mr. Mercury
And then the next "diss" song, "death on two legs" is basically them calling out their manager and giving a big "F" you!
Oh, that sounds interesting.
This is from the film flash gorden which Queen wrote and performed the music score for the film.
Yes Brian is using a coin as a pick. Always has.
lol. John is in an old man sweater vest while Freddie is wearing leather with a Mineshaft tee underneath. 😳
The chorus is constantly used in commercials.
Hey Coach and Mrs., yes, Brian preferred a pence coin, because it felt good in his hand and he liked the ridged edge to it... blessings.
Thanks for doing this song. It is my favorite Queen song!
This is the happy song.
Hey, Coachies! Been used in some movies and commercials... once voted "the happiest song ever"... lol.. it is damned happy, right? Love your reactions.. keep it goin'! (p.s. Brian often did use a "six-pence" coin as a pick- nice catch!)
It's happy for sure!
Freddie's "my life is wonderful" song, but he was in a kind of danger around that time, he was nearly losing the control of himself.
Brian hated this song...because it's that lifestyle that killed Freddie.
Brian does talk silly sometimes
He started claiming concern years later when they had started working with Adam
He had said in interviews he saw it as sepratism
He has also said he didn't like it that Freddie wouldn't let him play more guitar on it
He ignored Freddies wishes and wrote parts for it anyone trying to win him over still no!
When Freddie died he did a guitar version!
There wasn't any reason to be concerned of Freddie at that time health wise
Relationship wise he left Mary of 6yrs for David Minns he was with for 3 years then left him for Joe Fanelli who he was with when he wrote this
A candle that burn twice as bright ....
Oh and, FOR SURE you guys have heard bits of this song sampled in TV commercials, and just didn’t notice/realize it…. The other song that’s sampled a lot in commercials is:
“I WANT IT ALL”.💕
That song is our next Queen reaction already recorded. 😁
@@CoachCastTV 😻🫶
Good observation mr. Coach - Brian uses a coin instead of a pick.
I am in my happy place when listening to this song! Thank you for your reaction, Mr & Mrs Coach 🎉💕
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack (Through The Years)
thank you for your channel is fantastic..........show must go on!!
Thank you!
Yes Brian uses a coin to strum the strings and Brian is that famous he gets the Royal Mint (they make all our money) to supply him with coins
This song was written to tell the three other band mates to allow him to pursue his hedonistic lifestyle. They tried to warn him.
?
He had left Mary of 6yrs for David Minns who he'd been with for 3yrs who he left for Joe Fanelli he was with him when he wrote this
Brian talks nonsense sometimes
Him and Roger like to forget they were also permiscious
What was it they were warning him about in 1978!
The only thing Bruan was worried about was it effecting the band
@@bluebell3720 No. 1 nose candy was immense. Watch the live concert footage with cocaine addicts sweating profusely and using his towel to suppress his nostrils with mucus.
Brian uses a sixpence as a pick, (small English coin) he always said he liked the sound of it better than a pick! Thank you Mr & Mrs Coach, love from Oz🇦🇺
Please Please Please react to:
I want it All(for some amazing guitar-play, vocals and lyrics)
Was it All worth it (overal greatness)
Innuendo (sort of better version of bohemian Rhapsody)
You will thank me later. Trust me!
Greetings from the Netherlands
Hi thanks for your great reaction ! For the next ones I would suggest Ride The Wild Wind, I Want iI All and Great King Rat.
"I Want it All" is the next one we recorded. Thanks!
hi from ireland guys love the channel freddie rules ❤
We appreciate you watching!
Sir Brian May is using an old silver sixpence to play the Red special a guitar that he and has father built using old furniture from around his house.
Suggestion: Breakthru by Queen. It is one of my favourites by Queen. ❤
Sí . es una moneda con la que toca Bryan. Siempre
Very nice reaction! Please react to Queen’s songs, In My Defense and The show must go on. Both songs are excellent. Enjoy!
In My Defence is Freddie's song from the 1986 musical Time
I'm quite shocked that you don't know this one! Only reached chart number 86 in the USA so maybe that explains it.
Yeah, I think someone said it was late 70s as well and we were pretty young then.
Jesus, I wanna get innyour lobbies Marley 😅 might be able to get a win 😂😂
Brian always uses a coin to play the guitar. Still uses it to this date. This is my favourite song. When they show the band at the beginning and Roger’s drumming.
Brian does indeed use a coin it’s a sixpence an old English coin x great reaction ❤❤
You were asking about his pic. Yes , that is a coin.
The study scientific said that when Is listen this Song It increase the Mood.braian play Guitar with coin always
my favorite queen song
Cool with the Japanese subtitles!
Yes this song was used in a commercial for Toyota and Amazon among other products.
This song is probably one of the top 10 all-time feel-good songs, and I would certainly vouch for that. You don't get a lot of Brian's guitaring in this song, but it is certainly worth waiting for, The live concerts tend to feature a lot more of the guitar, which you have probably noticed with Queen.
Brian May used an old English sixpence coin, which was out of production in the early 1970s, as a pick. He has them specially produced just for him. He said that the plastic picks were too bendy, and he couldn't feel what was happening when they touched the strings. He will also use his fingers when needed. He said, 'Sixpences are very soft metal, which doesn’t hurt the guitar strings, but if I turn that serrated edge at an angle to the string, I can get that kind of articulating percussive consonant sound - I call it graunch. Before about 1950, they had a high content of nickel, which makes them really soft, so I especially like a 1947 sixpence - the year that I was born'.
Ah, very cool info. Thanks for this!
Yes Brian uses a sixpence coin, he always does.
Mr. Fahrenheit is traveling with the speed of light 😅 and he is enjoying the journey...
I just love this song because they are all having a good time. Even Brian playing his amazing 🎸 solo at its beginning Freddie says: "Sing it Brian!" and Brians smile is ❤.
Thanks to his band mate and friend astrophysics/Nasa consultant Dr Brian May Freddie beside having a planet named after him 😅 now has his own asteroid. The asteroid was discovered in 1991 (the year of Freddie's transition to another dimension) and at Freddie's heavenly 70th birthday it was named Asteroid 17473freddiemercury 💫🥰
You can watch Brian's emotional announcement and see the Freddie's asteroid telescope footage.
"It's a dot of light, but a special dot of light" says Brian ❤💫🎵❤️
ruclips.net/video/o2vo6VR51eA/видео.htmlsi=xYzNVLvhqPYzzWga
That's very cool!
The happiest song ever.
This is fun song by QUEEN. This song was appropriate when Freddie Mercury was honored by IAU (International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center) led by Brian May for their discovery of Asteroid in 1991, the same year Freddie Died. On Sept 2016, at the age of 70 yrs. old. The Asteroid they discovered was rename to Freddie as "ASTEROID 17473 FREDDIE MERCURY", as Brian May said during the announcement - " This is also to recognize Freddie's outstanding influence in the world". The certificate of designation was given by Joel Parker of Southwest Research Institute.
Freddie Mercury is indeed Mr. Fahrenheit and nothing could stop him from creating great music. Unparalleled talent and character loved not only by his family members in the band but also by the whole world.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Coach for the good reaction. I also enjoy watching the rest of your content. I also know some new ones from other bands, but of course QUEEN and Freddie Mercury will always be my number one 1. Stay safe always!🙂❤
We appreciate you very much. Thanks for the great comment.
Used in many commercials
❤❤Beautiful Freddie ❤
Surprised you haven't heard this one coach but just read that it only reached number 86 in the us billboard charts in 1979 so that probably why, a very popular song over here in the UK despite only reaching number 9 in our charts, still plenty more songs to work your way through ut you are doing a great job of it and always look forward to your reactions and not just the queen ones , have a look at another song called breakthru by queen , catchy little number with a good video, no live alternative unfortunately, it's not a ballad, I promise 😂
LOL...that's a plus but we do throw in a few ballads to keep Mrs. Coach happy sometimes. Yeah, in 1979 I was 11 and not heavily into the rock scene for a few more years. We truly appreciate you!
I love the lyrics of this. Reminds me of my youth. I still have a good time (watching your reactions for example), but they don't call me "Mr. Fahrenheit" anymore. I'm traveling more at the speed of sound (or music) these days ;>)
Hi folks! I'm sure you have heard this-it's been turning up in commercials for the last few years. You'll hear it all summer, serenading some young people-centric silliness, but it's nice to hear Freddie in any capacity. Yes, that is a coin the Doc is using-he used to play exclusively with a 10p coin; serrated edges and all that. I tried it when I was a young guitar player. Got the 10p coin and everything. Trust me. That's not for anyone but the Doc. Nothing really for me to add here, except, welcome to the Jazz album. It only gets weirder from here. Love you guys!
Good to see you! Thanks for the info!
Great song, great reaction! Would love to see you react to Fleetwood Mac as well. Queen always at the top of my list but Fleetwood Mac comes in second - they-re really great.
Yes, we grew up listening to a lot of Fleetwood Mac and we do know a lot of their songs. Agreed they are really good.
yes Brian would use a 1/2 pence as a pick.
Coach should like this one!!Coach may have heard this song in a commercial or movie. Brian uses a sixpence as a pick.
Yeah, this was great.
Brian plays with a old british six pence piece, when that coin was taken out of service Brian bought a load so he could always have them to use.
Brian used a silver 6 pence coin. Old English money. Now he has his own coin made.
Best power pop tune ever.
Hi Mr and Mrs Coach, I put a list together of Queen songs for reactors like yourself who are going down the Queen rabbit hole You have already reacted to some, but I wasn’t going to go through and delete them 😊 When you come across a video that just has clips from other videos or concerts, that is because Freddie was getting more and more ill and wasn’t able to do performances for their video they got into the late 80’s and early 90’s. The days of our lives was his last video and he looks skinny and could barely stand up.

Thank you very much. This is helpful and yes, we've done some and read many of the others in the comments, but not all of them. This is a great place now to go back and check for great content, not that we'll ever run out. LOL We appreciate it!
what I always wonder is why don't reactions talk about that he's STANDING at the piano. Good of you for mentioning not LOOKING at the keys now just think of the additional oddness to position from his perspective. He uses a hyper extended wrist in sitting position just image how hard that would be from a STANDING position. 😊
The US hated it
UK no 9 at the time
It's now their second most popular and successful
Its used in a few films adverts...
Classed as the happiest/ feel good song and best song to drive to!
Don’t stop Queen now……don’t wanna stop at all…..
If you wanted to go deep down the rabbit hole, why not react to some of these relatively unknown songs that show a completely different side of Queen.
"39" sung by Brian
“Action This Day”
“Bring Back That Leroy Brown”
“Doing All Right”
“Don’t Try Suicide”
“Headlong”
“Jealousy”
"Jesus"
“Las Palabras de Amor (The Words of Love)”
“Let Me Entertain You”
“My Fairy King”
I particularly recommend “Princes of the Universe”.
“Ride the Wild Wind”
“Spread Your Wings” special suffering from John
“The Invisible Man”
“White Queen (As It Began)” about the decline of the Native Americans
“Is This the World We Created...?” A song about how we treat the earth
“Mustapha”
“Seaside Rendezvous” has a 1920s vibe
“Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)” This song was made for their Japanese fans and was played at the opening of the Olympic Games in Tokyo
I'm sure we'll get to some of those. Most of their catalog is unknown to us. 😄
@@CoachCastTVI also recommend Resurrection (official video remastered ) from Brian May (with Cozy Powell on drums). It will literally blow your mind ... 😮
I like your sincere and non-theatrical reactions! A very different (clothes, looks, scenario) from this one official video - I'm Going Slightly Mad. Would be great if you react to it. ❤
Thank you and thanks for the suggestion.
Coach,
A couple of songs with AMAZING guitar playing:
“PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE” official MV
“PUT OUT THE FIRE”
official MV
These first two have my FAV guitar solos.😄
AND…
“GET DOWN, MAKE LOVE”
LIVE at 1981 MONTREAL
…This shows the INSANE “special effects” Brian is able to produce w his guitar!
(This last song has very R RATED lyrics, tho… Maybe Mrs. Coach will want to skip it, or cover her ears during the raciest part!😳)
🤣 Thanks for the info. Mrs. Coach isn't as innocent as you might think.
@@CoachCastTV 😂😂😂 ok then🖖
🤣😂@@marciebulsaraorcutt
Brian uses a SIX PENCE to this day
I like your reaction video, it's feel so genuine in how you commenting, it's like you seeing those video for the the first time. Good.
So... Please react to:
EXO - Love Me Right
EXO Dingo Music
Chanyeol - Stay With Me
SNSD ft Suju - Seoul Song
BabyMonster - Dream
The history of this song was based on real-life events transpiring in the band. Freddie had fully embraced the "gay lifestyle" and was partying hard while using alcohol and drugs and it began worrying the members of the band. Freddie was still doing his job but he was high a lot and the band could see he was often frazzled the wild partying. So they all decided to confront him and try to convince him to slow down. The discussion did not go well.
Freddie told them to butt out of his life because he could handle it and not to worry. He was having too good and he was happy.
Next thing they knew, Freddie came up with this song which all the band agreed was good. Nevertheless, Brian had reservations about recording it because he felt it was supporting what Brian felt were poor choices that Freddie was making. (Brian is the only member of Queen who never smoked or used drugs though he did drink.)
Interesting story. The song is good, no way to argue that. LOL
Brian uses a sixpence as a pick.
Brian May preferred a coin to a guitar pick to play
It's an old sixpence..he uses them as plectrums fans sent in thousands
Brain still uses the old British sixpence as pick
That's awesome. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
This is when they ditched the leotards and flashy theatrics
