@@allensaunders449 I agree. I like to talk about the analogy, "making music". Meaning being in unison, or something to that effect. Everything in perfect harmony... Because making music with other people, and everyone on time, isn't easy at all. What less, Queen. Rock Gods.
Brian May's guitar is a one of a kind hand-built masterpiece that Brian and his father built together when he was a teenager. It is known as the Red Special.
And one of the amps featured here is the 'Deacy', a practice amp John Deacon cobbled together from a sub-1 watt radio circuit board salvaged from a trash dumpster. When pushed with a treble booster, and due to fortuitous circumstances (an early circuit design using germanium transistors that also happened to be mismatched, and somewhat undersized transformers that go into magnetic saturation) it creates those unique bell-like tones.
I remember that back in the day it was also called "Fireplace" because the story went he and his father had used wood from their fireplace mantel to build it.
Freddie Mercury was a gift to humanity. You're quite correct, there will never be another Freddie Mercury, and we are the poorer for his death from HIV/AIDS. Of course, the reason that we're talking about Freddie is in part because Queen was such a killer band (no pun intended) and the songs they crafted stretched the boundaries of rock 'n roll as a genre. The songs could've been done by a mediocre band with a mediocre frontman...and we'd end up with music that most folks would shrug at. But Freddie wasn't mediocre, Queen wasn't mediocre, and the songs were NEVER mediocre. Thank goodness.
And all done by actual re-recording over and over onto separate tracks of one or more physical tapes, then mixing down. Long before the digital era made it so much easier (probably too easy)!
Hey brother Jamel, Did you know that Brian May (guitarist) has a PHD in Astro physics? It's true! and I must add he earned it for real, not some "honorary" degree. He is a freaking genius.
@@LordDiamonds Yes, Deacon was an electrical engineer (he designed and made the Amp that Queen used for their entire career. Its called the Deacky amp) and Roger was studying to be a dentist but switched to get a degree in Biology. Also Brian May has several Astronomy books published and worked with NASA on the Pluto fly by mission.
He had extra teeth. The guy who did some of the vocals for the movie that was released a couple years ago, Marc Martell, had a a very similar voice and his mouth was shaped a lot like FM.
Freddie was very interested in ballet. He went places that no other preformer would go. Thats what made him such an influential icon. There music is timeless and will go on forever R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU WE HEAR YOU SINGING FROM HEAVEN
That “underwater” sound is a flanger. Basically it doubles the track with a slight delay, but the time of the delay changes which’s creates that whoosh sound
Freddie was shy offstage. He and the other members of Queen were all professional musical artists. They took their job seriously. They were all geniuses. With Freddie’s voice and the other members harmonies and instrument mastery they were one of a kind legends.
I hadn't realized you hadn't done the official Killer Queen yet! lol. This is THE song that brought me to Queen in the first place back when it was first released. Clever lyrics & pretty Freddie & WHAT A VOICE.
Lyrics: She keeps Moët et Chandon In her pretty cabinet "Let them eat cake," she says Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Khrushchev and Kennedy (Ooh, ooh) At anytime an invitation You can't decline (Ooh, ooh) Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice [Chorus] She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatin Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind (Pa-pa-pa-pa) Anytime Ooh Recommended at the price Insatiable in appetite Wanna try?

Also, I'm pretty sure they cloned Brian May so that his clone could play in him the movie. That guy looks EXACTLY like Brian. And then there was John Deacon, played by the kid from Jurassic Park, appearing from out of nowhere 25 years later. :P
Ultra Glam 70's Freddie!!! Anything by Queen will always be AWESOME to listen and react too!!! Their music catalog is PHENOMENAL!!! Nothing will EVER disappoint!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
No, he never did any acting - singing was his life. This song is about a high class call girl. 😂 “Now I’m Here” live from Wembley 1986 - another great performance by the whole band...and another great jacket! 🔥🎶🔥 Queen doesn’t usually get blocked - they want everyone to hear their music 🤗
I want him to not react to the popular second night at Wembley The first night has far great performances but again he probably won't be able to make difference between the two
Freddie was "acting" every time he got on stage. I mean, he was acting out his persona. He understood that you couldn't just stand there-no matter how good your voice is-you had to emote and give it everything.
Freddie could have played it for sure, but Tim Curry was the best choice ever, especially since he played Frank on The Rocky Horror Show in London. He earned the role in the US film honestly.
This was the first Queen song I heard. I've never looked back. My all time favorite band, every member. Freddie is so dynamic he overshadows the others but the same strength of talent is visible in all four.
Queen has written some of the most timeless music in all of Rock and Pop (even some proto Heavy Metal). Freddie's voice in unmatched and each member is a master of their craft. Queen is in my top 5 bands of all time.
Paul Leach mine too! Never equaled. I have a hard time hearing Adam Lambert when he's too heavy with his interpretation. But at least he's helping to gain new fans to this great music.
I was fortunate enough to see Freddie Mercury and Queen TWICE (1976, 77) and saw this song, among others during their first 5 albums. Freddie is THE BEST front person I've ever seen in my life!! And I've been into music for well over half a CENTURY!! Yeah, I'm that well preserved! 💋💋
Best front man ever. The voice, the moves, the looks. Incredible, as is the whole band. They didn’t do this one at Live Aid. And I don’t believe he ever acted on stage or on film.
Queen is really the first band that popularized turning the Concert stage into performance art rather than just a couple of dudes playing their instruments into some microphones. It was all about the performance and stagecraft.
LOVE this song, written about a high-class courtesan, so to speak. I used to use 'fastidious and precise' as a tagline to my profile for online message boards during the 2000s 😎
Omg look at that coat!!! Man had style. I adore the lyrics to this song. Caviar and cigarettes, and I bet Freddie had lots of both. Their opera like harmonies are the bomb 💣💣💣
I love Freddie. His voice is a so wonderful with his operatic range. One of my favorite singers ever. I named my dog Freddie after him but she's a girl so she's Fredricka. We call her Freddie. Freddie Mercury is a legend.
When you listen to queen on head phones and to music bounce back and fourth left and right is crazy it stimulates your brain. R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
Queen is legendary, of course - but probably not enough acclaim is given to their producer, Roy Thomas Baker, who helped to make their recordings so unusual and fabulous.
The one and only Freddie Mercury, what a performer, you just cant get better than Queen. Have you done "sheer heart attack" another great song from Queen.
Jamel, I would understand if you needed to take a break for a while. (Would miss your videos, but if you need to...) This is such a grind! I appreciate the hell out of the insane amount of work you do for us!
Jamel, I used to work nights and graveyard shifts too! Turned me into a night owl! But that's how I discovered you, sitting up (while everyone else in the house was asleep), ear phones in surfing RUclips on my phone. If you would have told me 30yrs ago "Julie, when you're in your 50's you're going to enjoy watching someone else react to songs you grew up listening to and love it!!!" I would have said you're insane, but here we are and I do love watching your reactions!! Stay safe and be blessed!💕💖
From their best album "Sheer Heart Attack". "Tenement Funster" and "Brighton Rock" are a must listen. But any track is good. Come to think of it, any Queen track is worth listening to.
T.Rex was the progenitor of this style of music. Check out T.Rex Get it On. It's all the sex and party you can handle I promise. Marc Bolan and T.Rex influenced Bowie and Queen, along with U.S. glam bands like New York Dolls, KISS, Joan Jett, Alice Cooper, etc. T.Rex gets no credit for this but Marc was the original article of Glam Rock.
Lovelovelove your Queen reaction, such a joy!!! I suggest Love of my Live followed by Is this the world we created live at Wembley. Beautiful! Much bless dear ❤
And then "Daisy Jane" by America, one of the coolest & sophisticated pop love songs ever... a rock song mixed with an Eric Satie-like classical component, McCartney maj 7th chord structures, lyirical poetry, driving power pop chorus & a lone violin solo break. It's genious.
@@ErnieDouglas oh God yes! Such a great tune! I was lucky that my folks had some America records collecting dust in the house that I grew up in. My childhood was almost nothing but music from the 60s, 70s, and the 80s came later.
Freddie graduated with a degree in Art and Design - and he and Roger kept a shop in Kensington Market where they sold clothes second hand and redesigned them to be high fashion of the day in the area. He always had an eye for fashion and worked on the look for a lot of their music videos. :)
I always get emotional when I see Freddie. The brilliance just oozed out of every single pore. The entire band was phenomenal. I just want to go back in time and sit down with Freddie and tell him how his music continues to inspire and amaze.
Fabulous classic! Its been a while! Queen just makes everything better! This song is from their third album, Sheer Heart attack and was what catapulted them into the public eye. The show this video was for "top of the pops" was for all up and coming artists and unfortunately, it was required for the band to mime/lip sync to a playback track. Even the drum symbols were fake. The experience must have been pure torture for them to have to mime and also a major insult to their artistic talent and professional integrity. They actually never played the entire song through when they sang it live, it was always part of a medley. They didn't sing it at live aid, but they sang it live at Montreal 1981, which went into "I'm in love with my car". While his stage presence was very dramatic or theatrical, he never pursued acting, he didn't have the patience for it.
This is the song that got me hooked on Queen at age 13. I went back and got caught up with Queen I and II, and finished just in time for the release of 'A Night At The Opera'. I really was blessed to have been the age I was with all of this music that people now call 'Classic'.
I was like 12-13 when this came out and I thought it was about the same woman Elton John sings about in Bennie and the Jets "She has electric boots, a mohair suit". Don't ask me why I thought that, but I was very confused as to who this strange and wonderful woman was.
He did some thing and loved Opera Freddie was one of a kind and so artistic, they were all great Adam Lambert plays with Brian guitarist and Roger drummer with Queen
I’ve said it a million times... there will never be anyone like Freddie Mercury. He’s unique voice hooked us all. 💓💓🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💙💙💙
You got that right!🎤 Freddy had the pipes!
Peep this video, if you like Freddie Mercury.
Polyphonic, Freddie Mercury. ruclips.net/video/p3MjsrMNCbU/видео.html
The whole band was great. Over time people have been forgetting that
@@allensaunders449 I agree. I like to talk about the analogy, "making music". Meaning being in unison, or something to that effect. Everything in perfect harmony... Because making music with other people, and everyone on time, isn't easy at all. What less, Queen. Rock Gods.
Freddie's voice, persona, stage presence, it was a complete package. So missed😥
My 83 year old mom's favorite song
Freddy did The Great Pretender
she would love it!
Awesome!
I believe it’s starting to dawn on a lot of Reaction channels, that the 70’s was by far the coolest era for music
I love the 70s we had the best music ever nothing can compare
Wanghotangho Without a doubt. The 70s was the best era of music. I have a 35 year old son that totally agrees.
A lot of incredible music from the seventies, but i believe the sixties was the golden decade!
If they hadn't already.
@@nickyfield137 not as much as the other decades except the '60s.

Gilmour, Santana, and Brian May...... the 3 tone gods
I remember that back in the day it was also called "Fireplace" because the story went he and his father had used wood from their fireplace mantel to build it.
@@mikemclaughlin3306 Add Hendrix and B.B. King to that list. All 5 of them you can tell who's playing just by their unique guitar tone.
Love when guitarists have their iconic guitars they kept as kids, like Billie Joe's Blue.
Freddie Mercury was an amazing artist, and there will never be another like him.
i agree but they said the same thing about Elvis
@@garywillingham3644 yeah but there is ton of elvis impersonators that sound like him
Freddie Mercury was a gift to humanity. You're quite correct, there will never be another Freddie Mercury, and we are the poorer for his death from HIV/AIDS.

That vocals were something....
@@garywillingham3644 and David Bowie
Queen: the only band that can use words like fastidious and still be cool AF! 😂😂😂❤️
I learned vocabulary from the songs!!!
Queen is known for their signature multi track harmonies!
Roger Taylor
Freddie Mercury had done the harmonies
Roger Taylor has the high notes.
And all done by actual re-recording over and over onto separate tracks of one or more physical tapes, then mixing down. Long before the digital era made it so much easier (probably too easy)!
Queen is a genre of their own.
Hey brother Jamel, Did you know that Brian May (guitarist) has a PHD in Astro physics? It's true! and I must add he earned it for real, not some "honorary" degree. He is a freaking genius.
All of them have a higher education degree if i remember right.
I believe you are correct. I think Freddie's was in art or graphic design. He designed their logo. Everybit of it has meaning.
@@LordDiamonds Yes, Deacon was an electrical engineer (he designed and made the Amp that Queen used for their entire career. Its called the Deacky amp) and Roger was studying to be a dentist but switched to get a degree in Biology. Also Brian May has several Astronomy books published and worked with NASA on the Pluto fly by mission.
Not only that, but he worked on the Mars Rover and helped design an asteroid deflection program as well.
Ritchie Blackmore said Brian May is a brilliant guitar player. He's right....
I consider myself very very fortunate. My very first rock concert was Queen in 1978.
They set the bar very very high for all future concerts.
DonFormica Mine was in 1977.We both were very fortunate to experience Freddie and when Queen was in their glory!
Minesweeper too! In 1977!
Lucky
They sure did! You left having been totally entertained!
Mine to NYC
Not very many have a 4 octave range! That’s why he never got his teeth fixed. I read that he thought it’d screw up his range. I love Freddie!
He had extra teeth. The guy who did some of the vocals for the movie that was released a couple years ago, Marc Martell, had a a very similar voice and his mouth was shaped a lot like FM.
I was always wondering about it, so did Robin Gibb, always wonder why?
Freddie was very interested in ballet. He went places that no other preformer would go. Thats what made him such an influential icon. There music is timeless and will go on forever
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
WE HEAR YOU SINGING FROM HEAVEN
That “underwater” sound is a flanger. Basically it doubles the track with a slight delay, but the time of the delay changes which’s creates that whoosh sound
Very underrated by Queen: The prophet's song
@
El Mariscal what about Innuendo or Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy ? both amazing and underrated.. Innuendo for exemple is probably their best song
@@thanksmr.obvious6427 Just a personal favorite.
@@MrSarcasm101 but what do you think about these 2 musics that i mentioned? :D
I love that song! Never see it mentioned anywhere so I'm so glad to see you bring it up.
He was the greatest Showman. Nobody could work a stage like Freddie Mercury. Still no one can.
RIP Freddie, he didn't leave a mark on history, he French kissed it
He got his dramatic flair from his parents. They performed in operas, so he grew up around theater and was taught how to sing operatically by them.
Yes, Freddy was quite the showman. Broke the mold when they made him!! Enjoyed your video Jamel! ❤️💜💚
Freddie was shy offstage. He and the other members of Queen were all professional musical artists. They took their job seriously. They were all geniuses. With Freddie’s voice and the other members harmonies and instrument mastery they were one of a kind legends.

One of of the first 45s I owned.
Hi 👋 to a fellow old person! I was 13 when this came out, and I loved it immediately. So different!
@@sarahzentexas hi back to you! I was even older at 19! this song was a stunner.
This was the first song I ever heard by QUEEN growing up!
The first Queen song I heard was Keep Yourself Alive. I want that song played at my funeral.
Queen's "Melancholy Blues" no one ever reacts to that one and It's one of my favorites.
Love Melancholy Blues!🎙
"Let them eat cakes" The greatest quote from Marie-Antoinette....that she actually never said.
One of their cleverest songs. Love the way Freddie wrote the song.
As a teenager in the 70s I had every Queen album. Nobody could match their harmonies and nobody could match Freddie's flair.
Me too
Freddie never did acting bc he performed for us everytime he did a concert RIP.
This band had a combined IQ to make einstein blush. 🤘
This was their first humungous hit, before Bohemian Rhapsody.
Freddie is what we all should aspire to be, talent sass and a wicked style, just one of a kind
Lyrics:
She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake," she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy (Ooh, ooh)
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline (Ooh, ooh)
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
[Chorus]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind

Ooh

Insatiable in appetite

[Verse 2]
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation, she spoke
Just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah (Ooh, ooh)
(Killer, killer, she's a killer Queen)
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally
From Paris (Naturally)
For cars, she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
[Chorus]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Pa-pa-pa-pa)
Anytime
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
(Ooh)
Then momentarily out of action (Ooh)
Temporarily out of gas (Ta-taaa)
To absolutely drive (Drive you wild, wild)
She's all out to get you
[Chorus]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam (Pa-pa-pa-ra)
Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Anytime)
Ooh

Good for them. They ain't sell outs
Although I imagine if he hadn't passed away he probably would have.
Freddie would have been great in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As Frank N. Furter! But Jamel should watch Frank’s entrance scene!
When I was young, I used to think it was him!
I agree but I do so Love Tim Curry as well.
Freddie could have played it for sure, but Tim Curry was the best choice ever, especially since he played Frank on The Rocky Horror Show in London. He earned the role in the US film honestly.
To play Frank, you need acting chops as well as a voice. I love Freddie, but looking at his interviews, I doubt he could have acted.
This was the first Queen song I heard. I've never looked back. My all time favorite band, every member. Freddie is so dynamic he overshadows the others but the same strength of talent is visible in all four.
That Freddie was quite the showman.
Their Very Best Song...! "Somebody To Love" coming in a close 2nd
Queen has written some of the most timeless music in all of Rock and Pop (even some proto Heavy Metal). Freddie's voice in unmatched and each member is a master of their craft. Queen is in my top 5 bands of all time.

Perfect timing the horror movie The Babysitter: Killer Queen came out on Netflix today & this song was in the movie
When i saw the title i instantly knew this song would be in the soundtrack
YESSSS!! Queen is one of my favorite bands!!!
Freddie was the Ultimate Showman!
Killer Queen was the song that made me a lifelong Queen fan back when I was in junior high. Rest well, Freddie.
He is a iconic singer. I have been a Queen fan since I was a child.
there's no Bohemian Rhapsody without the album Queen II, I've been saying it for years
Queen II was raw and awesome.
Queen II is my favorite album
Freddie’s voice is to unique 🔥 and smooth
Freddie was always more present than anyone else in the room. Would have so loved to see them live.
LOVE this song, written about a high-class courtesan, so to speak. I used to use 'fastidious and precise' as a tagline to my profile for online message boards during the 2000s 😎

Very interesting fact. Guitarist Brian May has his doctorate in Astro Physics. So he is a certified rocket scientist!
Freddy Mercury-God bless his soul-is hands down the BEST FRONT MAN EVER.

Freddie graduated with a degree in Art and Design - and he and Roger kept a shop in Kensington Market where they sold clothes second hand and redesigned them to be high fashion of the day in the area. He always had an eye for fashion and worked on the look for a lot of their music videos. :)
I always get emotional when I see Freddie. The brilliance just oozed out of every single pore. The entire band was phenomenal. I just want to go back in time and sit down with Freddie and tell him how his music continues to inspire and amaze.
The effect you’re hearing is called a “phase shifter”.
You need to do Under Pressure LIVE @ wembly 🖤🥺 that performance is legendary!
Fabulous classic! Its been a while! Queen just makes everything better! This song is from their third album, Sheer Heart attack and was what catapulted them into the public eye. The show this video was for "top of the pops" was for all up and coming artists and unfortunately, it was required for the band to mime/lip sync to a playback track. Even the drum symbols were fake. The experience must have been pure torture for them to have to mime and also a major insult to their artistic talent and professional integrity. They actually never played the entire song through when they sang it live, it was always part of a medley. They didn't sing it at live aid, but they sang it live at Montreal 1981, which went into "I'm in love with my car". While his stage presence was very dramatic or theatrical, he never pursued acting, he didn't have the patience for it.
We all know Freddie is singing about himself! Love it!
More bad Company “feel like making love”
The live version is great
Studio original is better
Please react to brother Elton John “Philadelphia freedom” live on soul train! 👍🏼
He actually also performed Benny and the Jets on Soul Train about 4 years earlier.
I just went watch it. That was AWESOME!! Dude could frickin SING!! or SANG. :)
Mr. J love that performance!
ted ritola couldn’t agree more!
Hall & Oates did a cover of that song too
When they hit the chorus it reminds me so much of ELO. Queen was so ahead of their time. One of (if not the best) bands in history.
This is the song that got me hooked on Queen at age 13. I went back and got caught up with Queen I and II, and finished just in time for the release of 'A Night At The Opera'. I really was blessed to have been the age I was with all of this music that people now call 'Classic'.
Thanks J ! Check out Paul Simon 'Late In The Evening "
Kodachrome!
JELLYFISH. Especially "Joining a Fanclub" and "New Mistake."
DroverChicago Fanclub is amazing, great suggestion
“That is why” as well
This was the first Queen song I heard and became a fan forever
Same here. One of their best songs. Extremely well crafted.
A natural performer that was born to command the stage !
*this time* it actually is a song from a movie sound track, written for a version of Flash Gordon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Gordon_(soundtrack)
anar kissed I love still that soundtrack and film.
I first heard this when I was about 11 and I thought I was on acid. I didn’t know what acid was back then.
I was like 12-13 when this came out and I thought it was about the same woman Elton John sings about in Bennie and the Jets "She has electric boots, a mohair suit". Don't ask me why I thought that, but I was very confused as to who this strange and wonderful woman was.
You nailed it, the whole package! Best!! Front!! Man!! Ever!! They broke the mold after him!
He’s very simply the BEST. Superman wears a Freddie Mercury T-shirt !!!♥️
Could you please react to Crocodile Rock by Elton John?
You should listen to Queen's Innuendo as well, it may be even better than Bohemian Rhapsody
Incredible album!
Yes!
Freddie,the Greatest Frontman to ever grace a stage!! R.I.P
He did some thing and loved Opera Freddie was one of a kind and so artistic, they were all great
