![Queen - No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) [Official Video] Reaction](/img/1.gif)
When he said “this song is a bit strange” before the operatic section even hit, I was like, “oh bro, you have no idea. Just wait for it.” 🤣
Lol ikr
Yeahhhh
Lol
Rebecca Paradis I know!!
😂 same
whats craziest is that they had the balls to release it as a single
And Roger supposedly locked himself in a cabinet until Freddie agreed to let him have "I'm In Love With My Car" on the B-side.
@@karolyn8644 I mean who doesn't know that?!
James Aceton oh yes!! Fortune favors the bold
Karolyn Hoover haaahaaa!!
We are fortunate the the guys took a risk like this. It was fitting for the “A Night At The Opera” album
Freddie Mercury was a musical genius, a true legend. Bohemian Rhapsody is the best song ever written.
"Bohemian Rhapsody is the best song ever written" somehow that is still an understatement
Judy Flanigan do you even killer queen lmao
Damn straight
And my favorite one
I love watching people hear this for the first time :D I'm like deviously twisting my moustache when they are impressed with the first minute of this song, muttering to myself, oh you innocent fool, you're not even ready.
That's how I feel about Les Twins. They're always saying "you're not ready" and we never are.
FYI, the guitarist, Brian May, STILL has that exact same hair style. It's just gray instead of brown now.
Same guitar as well, the Red Special that he made himself, with his dad out of odds and ends when he was a teenager as they couldn't afford to buy one.
@@samloveslfc Yep, with its very distinctive, incredible sound. I took my 15 year old nephew to see Queen + Adam Lambert last summer, and during one of Brian's guitar solos, he turned to me and said, "Man, these old guys can really play!" I just laughed and said, "Yep. That's why they've been one of the most popular bands in the world for the last 40 years."
@@sadfaery Haha. Nice story!
B.C. Cute story. ‘These old guys’, hahah. Good parenting!
He's also an astrophysicist, which means he'll baffle you with science, then rock you with a killer guitar solo.
Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest song ever made. It has like 4 or 5 musical genres within the song. Awesome lyrics. They recorded so many layers of harmonies that the tape almost got ruined. And it was all written by Freddie Mercury himself. One person wrote this masterpiece. Not even one songwriter will get to the level of Freddie Mercury ever again.
Eminem
Yep - nothing more to add -
@Sean Sheep Yes
@@Youre are you really comparing Eminem to Freddie Mercury ? 1,2,3 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA ! nothing more to say ...
@@raiospartaonick you have no idea
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧. Side note, They all had/have University degrees. Freddie Graphic Arts, Dr Brian May (Guitar) Astrophysics, Roger Taylor (Drums)and John Deacon (Bass) Electrical Engineering. The most academically and musically qualified band to ever exist on Earth 🌍. Never to happen again. Ever.
Tina 27 TAS Roger’s BSc is in Biology.
Lots of British musical acts have university educations
gahrie And............?!
Queen is not unusual among British bands@@VincitOmniaVeritas.
gahrie I beg to differ. If you’re a fellow Brit, you will know that we have and still are producing the
Best musicians in the world. However what sets Queen apart is their education, there genius and the longevity. Yes we have amazing bands but in my opinion they will never touch Queen.
This is the best band that ever existed, with the world's best vocalist and frontman. ❤
The Beatles might have something to say about that!
Your opinion
@@clydester2677 overrated
Queen has so many hits like we are the champions, we will rock you, another one bites the dust, killer Queen, I want to break free, Flash, I want it all, Somebody to love, Don’t stop me now, A kind of magic, now I’m here, You’re my best friend, Radio Gaga, Under pressure, crazy little thing called love, liar, the show must go on, fat bottom girls, Bohemian rhapsody, play the game and so much more.Some of these songs you will here and already know the song but not know it was from them or just know parts of it.I recommend to react to more queen
Michelle Varas agreed
I hope you went back and listened to this again to appreciate the flow and build-up, and just how the entire song exists as a musical journey. Queen defied being boxed into one genre!
I've just got to share... I've been a Hospice nurse for 29 years. I started this because of my brother who had HIV in 1991....he committed suicide in 1994...I'm 51 and still a hospice nurse because of Jay. This was Freddie's anthem.... Really. I love this. As young as you are... You may not understand just how Prolific this song really is.
When you listen to this track, you realize you are in the presence of genius.
Nope, no autotune here. Check them out live, they sound just as good.
Freddie mercury was special singer we miss him,he was awesome 😊
Ok - I can see you are really fascinated, rightly, by Freddie’s voice. He is considered by most music historians to have the best male voice of our generation. I agree. Here are a few reasons why:
He has a 4 octave range that goes from a F2 to a F6
He has an “irregular” vibrato
His vibrato ranged from 5.4 hertz to 7.04 hertz
He was able to use subharmonics - where you use both vocal chords and “ventricular folds” in his throat - most people cannot access this part of the throat. Some monks are able to do it in their chanting.
Just some fun facts!
Subbed. But - I expect more Queen! 😜😜😜
They hung a microphone from the ceiling during recording and swung it to get that "panning" effect
I have been loving Queen since I was 17 ... I’m 64 now and I still rock out Queen about everyday! Timeless music!
I love, how much you loved QUEEN!!! I still get goosebumps from his voice, and I have been listening to them for over 30 years :) TRUE ARTISTS, never to be copied, but amazing enough to be sampled, over & over again !!!
i recomend you to watch their live performance from Montreal 1981 - Somebody to Love , or if you want to be pumped with energy, you have to listen to Don't stop me now :D
Agreed Tomas, but he has already done Montreal 1981 - Somebody to Love . Also needs to check out the entire Live Aid set by Queen. I'd recommend Dragon Attack from Montreal 81.
agreed. and my personal fav Spread Your Wings and anything from Live at Wembley 1986
Your Goosebumps😁. This is the most authentic and thoughtful reaction to BoRhap that I’ve seen. Thanks! Really enjoy your commentary and appreciation of all the layers that make up Queen’s amazing songs. Freddie is peerless, of course, and so many can’t see past him to the incredible talents of the other three musicians, all of whom were necessary to Queen’s unique sound. You do. That makes for a much more interesting reaction. Happy New Year to you and all your followers.
1975. 3 singers, 4 songwriters, , all played multiple instruments, all college graduates, 1 astrophysicist, 1 dentist, 1 electrical engineer & 1 brilliant artist & designer who sang like an angel. 4 guys.
10:08 He sounds like the "oh no no no no no" meme hahahaha
This song is considered one of the best songs of all time. Queen really is a unique band, I think that's why very few artists can cover their songs in their level, you need more than just a good voice.
The accompanying video for their 1975 single, “Bohemian Rhapsody” is generally recognised as the first ever promotional music video, kick-starting and setting the gold-standard for the genre for decades to come.
The first section of "singing heads" is actually Freddie harmonizing with himself. He was working on writing three different songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this epic masterpiece.
The more songs you hear from queen the more you will notice it has been used a lot.Queen has a lot of hits and lots of phrases that have been used in movies or other things and it’s so incredible that it is from Queen
I was born in 1963 and grew up in the '70s, We were used to this type of music back then. Back then a lot of the rock bands all played their own instruments, used their own voices and used so many transitions within their music. This was something that we, as kids, back then, were used too hearing. Bohemian Raphhosody [ produced in 1975] even back then turned out to be a genuince ROCK/OPERA CLASSIC! Queen went on to produce many more classic tunes too to become one of the biggest rock bands in the world.
So, he says something so dark, but sings it in a beautiful way...
This was from an album called "A night at the Opera"... they wanted to make a "rock opera".... they were the ultimate showman.
To me this wasn't just a song. It was a Musical in it's own right. Listening to Queen music always makes me feel good afterwards.
This isn't a song, it's a journey. Queen were masters!
Definition: "A rhapsody in music is a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, colour, and tonality. An air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation make it freer in form than a set of variations. "
Freddie did it! I've believe, for months as he wrote what we hear today, he looked for talent to give what this masterpiece of his needed. And it came along in Brian, Roger and John. All four of them had the talent, intelligence, stamina, love of music production and patience for Bohemian Rhapsody to become magnificently real. Thanks for this reaction . . . lengthy but richly informative.♥️
This song was written by Freddie Mercury combining rock and opera. Had never been done before. A huge risk -- Huge success. As you continue your journey with Queen you will find their genius.
The vocals were all Freddie Mercury he recorded and layered his voice over and over in different octaves and he did it in less than 30 minutes amazing musical genius. He knew what he wanted it to sound like and he created it to perfection
I really recommend you watch the Bohemian rhapsody movie and a documentary I swear Queen has so many hits.Trust me you don’t think you know queen but I bet you have heard most of there songs
ARIANAA AA so true
All true, except, no, not ‘most’ of their songs. Most of their hits, yes, but there’s 180 in their catalogue. And so many incredible songs amongst their lesser known. Personal faves: It’s Late; All God’s Children; Modern Times RocknRoll, the Prophet’s Song, all of Queen II, 39, A Winter’s Tale, the song that invented thrash metal: Stone Cold Crazy .... too many to list, actually. Fat Bottomed Girls .. a huge hit at the time but less so now for such a rockin song.
Or go see them on their Rhapsody Tour with Adam Lambert this year. They'll still rock you! ;-)
All the voices are them recorded over and over, sometimes they even faked high voices, GENIUS.
These are highly educated musicians with gifts, who applied this to their discipline, outcome is a Masterpiece.
Commercials use Queen's music ALL THE TIME! They are truly a once in a lifetime genius group!
The transitions in this song are indeed badass. Transitions that sound good made in a studio are hard enough. Just imagine how hard it is to do while playing live in front of 20,000 ppl without messing up......
If you want to know more about how this song was made, there is a great documentary called 'Inside The Rhapsody' on You Tube. In it, Brian May (lead Guitar) and Roger Taylor (Drums) go through how it came about, how the video was made and then Brian walks you through how they laid down the tracks using the master recording.
I've got a couple of Queen songs for you, Death On Two Legs - A diss track aimed at their then manager Norman Sheffield for ripping the band off (they were skint and he was riding around in posh cars!) and my personal favourite, White Queen (live @ Hammersmith '75) a beautiful song with an amazing interlude where Brian and Freddie's Guitar and piano seem out of this world.
Every voice you hear in the first minute of the song belongs to Freddie. The video shows all four singing but all voices belong to Freddie.
Hanny, it is true, 100% true. All the voices you hear in the first minute of the song belongs to Freddie.
Yvette Campos Oh sorry! I didn’t read your comment properly and missed that you were only referring to the first minute. Mea culpa.
The thing is in the 70s experimentation was not only allowed (by record producers/labels, the specialist media, radio stations etc, and of course audiences), but actually encouraged. Creativity and imagination were expected, making up for any technical shortcomings. Musicians did what they could given the available resources. Then FM radio started and the 3 minute format gradually changed the way music was made.
Queen were by all counts Genius. TRUE musicians,and truly world class performers. They were FAR ahead of their time , and werent afraid to get there long before evryone else. That is why their music is still relevant today, and still the measure by which REAL art is held to to this day !
Queen is the first And one of the only bands that has Rock and opera in there music and make it good and make it a hit song
Such a loss to music. We love you, Freddie.
I loved you response. Queen is an EPIC group. Mad respect to you.
You definitely need to listen to this without stopping it so you can actually experience the impact of this song.
Freddie wrote the song ,composed all the parts. He 's the lead singer on the piano
The story behind this song is incredible! You should definitely check it out. The layering, recording, re-recording, high notes to low notes & way more! Back then the tech wasn't there. So the way they had to make it was all from scratch, & hands on stuff. Truly talented & unique!
the changes are not absurd, but necessary. how do you think you will ever understand the story and the necessity for the operatic acts and changes if you do not listen to the story/words (or read along)? opera has done those changes for hundreds of years. the only possibility to understand the changes in the acts (which come with mood of the killer of the story) is when you go deep into the text/story. loss, selfpity, madness, anger, acceptance.
If someone asked me for the best song ever written this is probably the first thing that would come to mind.
They had panning technology and 8 track tape recording.. where they could overlay tracks.. and yes it was as basic as that and yet they achieved so much with the limited tech of the day. It's as if today, because of all the Tech, that some musicians have become lazy and don't put the work in that musicians used too. Subbed and look forward to more of your reactions !!
I know. Even the Beatles, over a decade earlier, had panning technology, Please Please Me, their first ever album notoriously had a mono edition and stereo edition back in 1963. (if you own the stereo version, you can buy it for about £15....if you want the mono, it's highly collectable and can change hands for thousands. ) If this guy (who talks wayyyy too much) thinks Bho-Rap is crazy, Queen 2 would break his mind.
@@celt67 Queen 2 is my fav album of all of theirs and I agree !! It should blow his mind ..
This was a song they wanted to do something completely different to everything out there at the time to form their own identity as a band and came up with an idea that changed history the first ever operatic rock song. Amazing band you can hear the change in their music through the years but 1 thing remaind throughout their career they sounded amazing always and still do to this day.
This is the best song ever written. And the best frontman ever.
I just discovered all these Queen reaction videos. I just thought you guys should know Bohemian Rhapsody is about someone being accused by their girlfriend of crimes against the relationship and after she pronounces the death sentence, his reaction is "So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?" and he leaves the relationship. I'm 62, great college music.
I think you would really enjoy listening to the crowd singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody while waiting for Green Day to start their set in Hyde Park London
Freddy's voice was freaking amazing!! Rest easy..
It is actually really interesting about the panning effect that you mentioned at 4:28 because the technology wasn’t there yet they had multiple microphones and speakers and pushed the sound out at different times to those microphones to create that effect... it was crazy how creative queen was with their music! If you watch the movie it actually shows how they did it when they recorded this song.
love to see the appreciation from all you guys that do reaction videos...love that i was there when they started ...love that i see Freddie can still draw in FANS ...thank you
Just wanted to say I appreciate your video. I've seen some reaction video's and I think yours is one of the most genuine I've seen. Plus I can tell you're enjoying and I'm a big Queen fan, so that helps.
At 8:44 you killed me when you paused Brian May's solo. So glad you went back and listened to it. Cheers!
Please react to Another one bites the dust by Queen and I want to break free by queen or you’re my best friend music video by queen or don’t stop me now music video by Queen.Pls React to one of these queen songs
Both Freddie and Brian had a classical background. They often use radical key or time signature changes in their songs. What is unique about Bohemian Rhapsody is that they made a video 6 years before MTV that didn't start until August, 1981. If you really want to go insane, listen to The Prophets song. I'm happy that you are on a journey of enlightenment. A word of advice. Listen to more Queen. There is a reason they are still popular nearly 50 years later and nearly 30 years after Freddie's death.
Tom Crawford Yes, the complexity of their compositions is another reason, together with Freddie’s unparalleled voice, why they’re so hard for anyone else to sing well. Although Panic In the Disco’s recent cover of BoRhap is genuinely impressive.
@@hannyhawkins7804 I just watched it and I agree with you. I watched it live and it was impressive. They deserve their success.
Tom Crawford Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it to be so good. Brian even gave it a shoutout on his Instagram. How proud would you feel?
@@hannyhawkins7804 First of all, for a successful band to cover another bands song is a compliment to the original band. To be recognized and complimented by Brian May for doing it? I can't express in words, but If I was alone when I read it, I'd probably cry. I don't know the proper words, but there is a respect within professional musicians circles, to look up to the bands and musicians who came before you, no matter how good you are. When Brian May accepted an award, (I'm not sure but I think it was a Brit music achievement award), he said, "I realize I'm standing here among royalty, so this means a lot".
Tom Crawford Well, it’s only a comment not a song cover but:
It’s a good feeling when someone acknowledges your comment with a like.
It’s a better feeling when they reply.
It’s even better when they check out something you’ve recommended.
But best of all is when they come back to the thread to talk about the shared experience.
Thanks, Tom😁.
Yeah, I’ll bet Brendon is all kinds of proud now. Like getting a knighthood from Queen, 🤣
Brian seems to be a very generous soul.
You can't fully appreciate the greatness of this song with all the long interruptions
Not somebody: Freddie! He created the whole thing on his own & then presented it to the band. " now, here's the operatic section. "
They overlayed the tape so many times on this track that it became near-transparent with so many edits and overdubs. Queen were master engineers in the recording studio! Lead singer Freddie Mercury wrote this song from three separate songs he was working on over a period of years.
Bohemian Rhapsody is the only song to hit #1 on the charts in 3 different generations, 1976, 1992 (due to Wayne’s World), and 2018 (due to the movie of the same name). The song legendary.
queen are the only band which every member wrote at least one No1 hit record
Thank you for doing this.
The greatest song I have ever heard.
Bohemian rhapsody came out in 1975.Queen is such a great band to react to for your journey to hear old music.Queen has so many hits and the leader Freddie Mercury is known for his flamboyant (He was bisexual so that’s why he was like that, he was just him self) and performances and his amazing voice
Going off of what you said about looking back and comparing what was "cool" then versus now. I am a child of the '80s, my awkward teens were the '90s, and my 20s the '00s. I am witness to some of the weirdest trends in recent history. Because of this I do not judge too harshly the way things are today. In fact, there are times when I look back I think to myself "what the hell were we thinking". Then again there are times I look at the marvels of today and recognize that the innovations of yesterday directly influenced everyday life today. In my youth I never thought that I would carry a computer in my pocket or talk to and see someone on the other side of the planet in real time.
Freddie wrote this song. He was a master
I love the initial reaction. I'm sitting here thinking to myself, wait for it, he ain't heard anything yet. He will be in awe by the end. They had their tricks back then, but they weren't digital, they had to be more creative. This was a Freddie Murcury brainchild.
Kudos to you for expanding your horizons!! ❤️
This song was in the film Wayne s world,the guys are rocking to it in their car.young man you are just one of a few reactors who actually realise how good this music is.
Dude, you're my new favorite channel! Awesome job!
This song is a fucking masterpiece! Hands 👇
This was Freddie's coming out song. The man he killed was his old way of life as a straight man.
Freddie was rockin that suit and that song.
Yeah Queen is master of Transition !!!
Musicians have been doing transitions in the middle of songs and changing speeds and loudness for hundreds of years. You hear it all the time with classical music like with Mozart, Beethoven, etc. It's been around forever. In fact, this song is called "Bohemian Rhapsody". Look up what the word "rhapsody" means in relation to music, and it will make perfect sense. Here is the wiki on the word "rhapsody": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhapsody_(music)
It was called quadraphonic, and was basically invented because of this song.
Most today are entertainers, not real singers!! Queen's the real deal.. You can watch videos of them mixing their music.. Amazing to watch
One thing they do today that they didn't do back then is live looping. If used properly, it can really enhance a song.
@Rich and Kelsey this song is Freddie Mercury's Opus. It was his greatest masterpiece, and actually revealed the true Freddie. For instance when he sings Mama just killed a man, he was speaking of himself and his life. He was dating a woman, and then later found out he was bi-sexual and preferred men. So he killed himself to love whom he loved. And this song transitions 7 times throughout the entire song. Freddie could never be whom he really was, and if you listen closely the song expresses his pain, his desires, and loneilness. He felt trapped, and he could never come out as gay, it was unacceptable. The audience knew the real Freddie though, he later died from Aids. RIP Freddie! Thanks for sharing the video.
You're right about the song being about Freddie coming out as gay. When he says "just killed a man", he's talking about leaving his old self and becoming his true self. When he says " face the truth", he's talking about the world now seeing him as a gay man. But he didnt care what the world thought cuz he stayed true to himself. He acquired so much admiration for being true to himself. If we would all do that, we'd truly be happier people. He was one of a kind and the greatest performer with the greatest band and greatest songs. Queen will be heard and loved for another century and beyond. Miss all you guys. Watch Live Aid 1985. OMGosh, its the greatest. If you haven't seen the movie make sure you do. Awesome!!!!! Rami Malek rocked it. God bless y'all.
It was Sampling and the ability for one person, in their bedroom, to produce a whole tune by themselves without actually being able to physically play an instrument, that changed the game.
Queen, Under Pressure live....bass rif stolen by Vanilla Ice.
Carol cjh SUCH a disappointment when you think you’re going to get Queen and you get Vanilla ice (sad trombone)
and show must go on was recorted qhen he was really sick and members of the band said if you want dont do this and he drank vodka and said i'll do this darling and he got just once. check his vocals it's mindblowing
I think back to when I was younger and this was what I normally listened too and wasn't interested or open to listening to anything else. When I moved away from home I started listening to Public Enemy and Dre (I know from one extreme to the next) but, it made me listen to even more music and now I love Reggae, R&B you name it, I'm in! I know exactly what you mean when you say that "you were to immature to appreciate it" I was exactly like that and now am so appreciative of all genres of music. I really enjoy watching your videos! Keep it up.
During a fairly recent press conference, Roger Taylor (drummer) stated they don't use click tracks and Adam Lambert then said, "It's all live." At their concerts, what you hear is the real thing. No auto-tune, either.
Kris Martikris No one needs a click track with RMT on drums. The man’s a living metronome.
Vanilla Ice used the sample for ice ice baby.. from queen & Bowie, under pressure. Queen weren’t happy !!!
Genius. We had the best when it came to music. 60s&70s And some of the nineties.
Freddie M ercury created the entire thing. He presented it to the band & directed the production. Watch the Bohemian Rhapsody film , see how it happened. He was the lead singer, piano player, songwriter & genius. He was 29 when this came out , the biggest hit in history. It went to #1 3 times, most recently when the movie came out in 2018. The second time was after Freddie died in 1991. The first time , in 1975 it was # 1 on the English charts for 9 weeks.
Glad you were impressed! Do some research on Queen. You will appreciate them even more. Most talented band ever!! Good reaction dude, could tell you cared!!💗
Thank you! Queen never would have used auto tune nor would they ever lip-synch. They got so mad when they were on top of the pops and the BBC told them they had to lip-synch the seven seas of rye. Ohh boy!! They took it as an insult and even in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, if you do ever see it, you see them raising Cain because they don’t want to lip-synch. Freddie Mercury said, “ you want me to lip-synch?” Like it was an insult to him and the band. Sadly those were the rules.
Freddy Mercury wrote this song. It was actually three different songs that he was working on that he decided to merge together. All four Queen members have written hit songs, they are all brilliant. You might have heard this song on Wayne's World. This is the only song that they need to have a recording for the middle operatic section at the live concert, the ballad and the rock portion are 100% live in concert. All of their other songs are 100% live. They sound amazing live, you should check out their live performances.
Doc is astounded by the transitions in this song. Those of us lucky enough to grow up in the 70s, that's just how it was in good music. (Try "Supper's Ready" by Genesis, 23 minutes of sheer genius).
This is music from the 1970 so this is real music!
Freddie had a legendary voice and was a brilliant songwriter. The others wrote some of their hits too. They are legends. Check out the movie Wayne’s World as this song is used in the movie.
