@@ChrisStoneinator HAHAHA dumbest comment ever. Ask any band in the top ten about Queen and they will praise them. Queen is definitely one of the best ever!
Alot of these critcs sounded way more arrogant and snobby than what they claim the band was. People just need to stop taking things (and themselves) so seriously.
The critics hated Queen because they could not be pigeon holed. They did every genre of music how they wanted to do it. They did not produce what the critics wanted them to. Easy to remember lyrics repeated over and over to a repetitive tune was popular and sold big, but Queen refused to do that. Queen changed the tempo of songs, took them up and down, had instrumental breaks and experimented with unusual starts and endings to songs. Basically Queen were unpredictable and varied so the critics were unable to label them and through frustration they just turned on them and dissed them. As a fan from the start, I found every Queen album was an adventure as you never knew what to expect from them but I was never disappointed even though Hot Space was initially a bit of a shock.
Queen was never a 'stay in your lane' band. They gave quality musicianship, entertainment irregardless of politics. Regarding Brian's opinion . . .his honour from their King at a racially tense time . . .a tear inducing disappointment to some. (Badgers are royally respected.?.) I don't see anything constructive discussing 'hate' for Queen at any period in the creative existence of those four wonderful guys, John, Freddie, Brian and Roger. I loved/love Queen cause their music inspired/inspires while entertaining.
We thought they were the best and that’s all that mattered. No magazine matters they have their opinion and we have ours! 🎶🎤🎹🥁🎸they were jealous that’s why! There would never have been MTV without Queen! 👑❤️🥰
Now let's leave out the early Queen years and today's slimy press-chasing QUAL years. You just have to watch their interviews. John Deacon did his best to hold back, if he couldn't, he spouted polite trifles. Roger Taylor showed very clearly, often not exactly delicately, what he thought of the press and their "stupid" questions. Freddie Mercury reacted in a similar way to John Deacon, only he could be very ironic. Brian May, the polite one, he politely answered every silly question. However, he gave his answers as if he were explaining the world to a toddler. What Queen, not QUAL, thought of the press, they even incorporated into a song. The press just didn't have an answer for this band and they didn't like that among other things. In addition, Queen could not be classified musically.
It seems Rolling Stone had a problem with several great bands during the period. But, it is obvious the homophobia was at the fore. And yet the fans were not so inclined. They knew or suspected the way Mercury's lifestyle was. If not gay he was at least bi. And yet it did not seem to matter to the millions of people who loved Freddie as well as all of Queen. And they loved the flamboyant aspect of the shows. It was pure showmanship and they knew Freddie was giving the audience a show and entertainment. And was not afraid to done the costumes and parade around the stage and the audience appreciated the show. And how much the band went out to entertain them. Plus they had the musicianship and vocals to back it all up. Freddie was one of the top vocalists and the band was top notch. I swear critics many times do not get anything. It all goes over their heads. And they are just too stuck in the mud to see original or creative output. Or appreciate anything new and inventive.
Last nite was in a sold-out audience of folk applauding ultra-talented Stage musicians entertaining us as "Broadway Sings Queen" gave us 14 Queen songs, presented mostly 'out-of genre'. Fantastic orchestra and soloists. A powerfully and beautifully presented show. LOVED! Who hates Queen? No room for them anyway!
I always assumed that it had to do with the punk movement considering that the critic in the jazz review called queen ‘facists’ which was a phrase punks used towards anyone that they didn’t like. This would also make since as many critics praised punk rock bands like the Sex Pistols while they hated progressive rock bands such a Pink Floyd and Yes and considering that Queen where relatively close in style to prog bands many critics would lump them in with them.
Queen represented a Powerful force of Good and musical excellence from England. The critics were a mouthpiece for evil and were talentless narcissists (rolling stone magazine anyone?). They opposed anything Queen did. But Mercury's voice, and May's epic sound literally blasted thru the critics and the band was just too awesome to be held back by elitist snobs. Queen was enormously popular wherever they went...the critics simply couldn't stop them.
Just proves how big a joke🤣 Rolling Stone magazine was/is. They claimed Queen was arrogant Unlike their critics, Queen had a _REASON_ to be arrogant, as they are one of the best bands ever. Does anyone remember or care who those critics _ARE?_ 🤔🙄 How in the _HELL_ could they have listened to the unique and original songwriting and say it has no imagination. _W H A T ! ? ! ? ! ?_ They are _THE_ most imaginative band I know of.
Critics universally panned Black and Blue by The Stones too...and they were hugely wrong about that. Frankly, if a critic didn't like something I would check it out to spite them. I wasn't often wrong.
nowadays all these critics see Queen as the best of the best pretending they've never gone as far as calling them "fascists" and that's what pisses me off so much unfortunaly, the media recognition of Queen as they always deserved only came after Freddie's death
I never really got into them for some of the reasons the criticss didnt either I dont hate them kind of some where in between.althiough i do like most of there early singles not much past fat bottom girls era ?I Drew the Line there!
They hated them because they didn’t follow a format and fall in line what was happening at the time.Queen did what they felt like doin and fuck what the critics think.Seemed to work I think to the tune of a billion dollars roughly through their history up till today.Shows what critics know.
The british actor Colin Firth said in an interview about the movie Mamma Mia - with a fictional story based on Abba's music - that he had been a "closeted" fan of ABBA - and that making that movie and singing the songs was the most fun he had ever had on a filmset - one big party on a greek island. I didn't like ABBA either - officially - it was too easy, uncomplicated - in an era with more groundbreaking genres. Not innovative - but very professional - four great musicians and a leadsinger second to none. Does it ring a bell??
They were just jealous. Queen were all educated and so very talented. I'd like to have seen those critics spend months in the studio coming up with brilliant songs, that are still so popular 30 years on. Than tour for months with the energy and musicianship they band possesd. Thank rock fans didn't listen to critics. As we had queen than and now to enjoy. Queen forever!!!❤
Its really unfortunate that they were disliked so heavily. I think the only time there was understandable backlash was when they played in sun city - i will never understand why they did it but im glad brian regrets it
I’m also glad Brian regrets it, as now does Roger. But I often wonder why Queen received the most backlash for performing there. Many popular artists from both the US and the UK performed there as well, and while they may have regretted it, they never received as much criticism and the hate that Queen did. And while many yrs. have passed, it seems critics remember Queen performing there, but never mention or seem to remember the many others that also did the same. Including this video!
It comes down to mostly Homophobia imo, the critics never liked Queen and singled out Freddie in particular (one critic calling him a prat at one point). In the 80's there was genuine criticism for the shift towards a pop sound but again this was a mask to hide their fears around the whole gay issue. The thoughts and opinions of a handful of pencil pushers is bearly registers as a footnote in history, Queen were hugely popular and successful and nobody cares what these snobs think as it didn't impact the bands momentum. When were all dead and enjoying our dirt nap Queen's legacy will live on but nobody will remember the names of a ew music critics.
It's not that complicated. The rock critics hated Queen because of POLITICS. Queen itself, of course, were not a political band, but the critics of the 70s (when Queen came onto the music scene) were a product of the 60s anti-establishment movement. To those critics, rock music was about social protest, challenging the status quo, rebelling against the oppressive "traditional ways" (which involved holding down and discriminating against minorities, women, the working class, etc.) Queen was not about social protest; Queen was about let's have fun and party-- let's enjoy life. The critics didn't know how to have fun-- they were too busy worrying about all the social problems in the world. Those critics were strongly influenced by leftist and socialist ideas. Why do you think Dave Marsh referred to Queen as a fascist band? Why do you think he hated Fat-Bottomed Girls so much? To Marsh, that song was a summation of the anti-feminist sentiment of the mainstream, male dominated society, to which the vast majority of women were not to be treated equally but were instead viewed as merely homemakers and subservient sex objects. Queen was viewed by the critics as the epitome of the extravagant, excessive high-living of the "let them eat cake", upper-class capitalist oppressors. The band was even viewed by the critics as symbolic of the monarchist, dynastic leaders that still ruled the roost in some of the non-socialist countries. Hell, it was right there in the very name of the band-- Queen. The rock critics were Politically Correct, Social Justice Warriors before those terms even existed. There was no way those PC, SJW rock critics were not going to attack Queen like it was a giant pinata. People WAY underestimate how leftist those rock critics were, especially younger people who were not alive in the 70s and 80s. And to anybody who thinks I'm saying this because I'm a right-winger, you are completely wrong. I hate the modern conservative movement and I voted for Biden in 2020.
Most rock critics can't play an instrument but they can write, so they put a ridiculous emphasis on lyrics in pop. To me, pop is about the sound, see The Cocteau Twins.
I completely understand what you mean. They do put to large of a focus on lyrics when bands such as Queen were mainly about the music rather than the lyrics. In fact Freddie almost always wrote the music before the lyrics and I remember him saying that with some songs he didn’t put much thought into the lyrics as he was more bothered about the music.
@@FineArtsMusic Funny thing is, I've tried, for fun, writing extra verses of Queen songs just lyrically and it's not as easy as it seems. Even Under Pressure is hard to find words for. And yet - I am the eggman, I am the eggman, I am the walrus, coo coo ca chew. Take that, critic dude.
@@willpeony5534 lol I am the walrus. Critics look way too deeply into lyrics, I suppose they are coming at it from a more academic perspective and (mostly) not as musicians. It only makes sense they’d be more interested in the words.
Queen were quite talented musically & instrumentally. Their music might not have been your choice, but music is subjective and all have different taste. That era produced a lot of great music that is still relavent today. Critics also hated Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones and others. So while you might not like, many did and still do. Definitely not crap, just because it is 50!yrs. old. Loved Queens music then and still do. To each their own!
@@Lilah1754 Not true. Most contemporary critics gave Led Zepp’ and the Stones good reviews. Individually Freddy had a great voice and the other three were good at playing their instruments. Especially Brian May who is an excellent lead guitarist. But their songwriting is weak and shallow and their lyrics are just cheesy. Funny how most Queen fans are from continental Europe and can’t really assess how lyrically weak their music is.
@@danieleyre8913 Not from continental Europe! Music is subjective, and people have different likes. I don’t believe all their lyrics were cheesy! The Beatles ( and I am a fan) had some cheesy lyrics ,as did a lot of bands. As I said music is subjective. You can disagree with what I say, but in the end it really doesn’t matter what the critics said, what mattered is the fact that despite criticism, the fans liked them and bought the music, and attended the concerts. Anyone who did not like their music did not have to listen to it or go to their concerts! That holds true for today also. Don’t like the music, don’t listen. It really doesn’t matter what critics said some 50 years ago. Like it or not, their music is still relevant today. I will leave it at that.
Blaming why critics hated Queen on homophobia is a ridiculous lie. Nonsense. I hated Queen's music, and will always hate Queen's music because anyone who is truly into rock 'n roll will naturally hate Queen's music. It was over-the-top kitsch, that I - and critics of the time - found intolerable.
You are welcome to your opinion. There are bands many love that I think suck. But, there was a bit of homophobia in the critics of the day's disrespect for the music of Queen. It was the times. While I found Queen to be original and experimental as well as loving to dabble in different genres and styles your finding it kitsch is perfectly okay if that is how you feel. But, don't think those of us who may have appreciated the work of Queen were not real rock fans. From the time I was a kid in Jr. High through my high school years until now I have been a huge Zeppelin fan, among other groups. But, I also like blues, and 20s jazz and big band, ect. Those of us who love rock may also like listening to different genres of music and that does not diminish out love of and being a real rock fan.
Why do you think critics hated Queen?
because they were beyond the guidelines, they were unique and didn’t want to stay the same, least n my opinion
Well they weren’t very good for one thing

they were different and great. Not a paid team of writers like alot of sellout rock groups used to get their corporate contracts.
Music is subjective. Nobody is right, and nobody is wrong. Who cares if some people hate it.
