I saw the video showing how they made this video. It was shot in Portland, Oregon outside at night and it was freezing. The couch was truly remote control, unstable, and every time they got on or off the couch they either fell to the ground or the couch tipped over backwards. Mitch talked about being afraid of falling off the couch and dying. If you watch closely every time someone got on the couch the camera switched to another shot.They were VERY pleased with the final outcome. The final guitar solo by Mitch with shooting stars in the sky was paying homage to Dr. Brian May, who played the guitar solo in the original and got his PHD in astrophysics, the study of stars.
I do wish Freddy could have heard them. He once said you could do what you want with his music except make it boring. It's NOT boring. Back in the oldy days when music went from mono to stereo, it was a "thing" to pan left and right to prove that you were recording in stereo. Fancy.
The look of sheer disbelief and confusion on your face at Mitch's guitar solo was just amazing! And yes, he can morph his voice to fit pretty much any song. He really does sound exactly like Freddie.
Welcome to the pack, fellow Pentaholic! They wanted to do this cover for a long time, but they wanted to do it real justice. I think they did, and so did Brian May, the guitarist from Queen. When it came out, he posted it on his social media, with the caption, "Enjoy!".
Kevin Olusola (the beat boxer) has been called The Human 808 more than once. If you haven’t already, check out his solo channel under his name only. He’s fantastic.
If you check them singing this song on stage, live in front of an audience, you'll see that Mitch does NOT have a megaphone and he sounds the same. That megaphone is a prop only. I think you've been Mitch slapped, lol Welcome to the Pentaholic group. You've got so many other covers to react too now. I'd suggest 90's Dance Medley or something more soothing like Sound of Silence or Mary Did You Know or Havana or ... take your pick. lol.
Mitch Slapped for sure lol Pentatonix: "Ok now electric guitar solo...." Mitch: "I got it covered!" Pentaholics: "Mitch is a human guitar. These are futuristic sci-fi aliens!"
The reason he sounds exactly the same in a live concert is that the audio mixer has the distortion effect turned on for those snippets. In a VIP/No Mic situation it would sound different.
Yep...you are OFFICIALLY a Pentaholic. Welcome down "the rabbit hole"! Thank you! Loved your reaction and appreciation of their talents. They were pretty anxious about doing the song justice and Kevin, the beatboxer, said it was the hardest percussion he had arranged to date. They always put their "twist" on their covers, or I like to say they "pentify" them, but I think they gave great respect for the original. I look forward to your next Pentatonix (PTX) reaction. and the next....and the next....and the next....
The first of their truly classic performances, there are many more yet to come. But this one will always be special to me because it was their first one that just filled every single little hope that I had for the performance!
Must check out PTX's "Season of Love" (when Kirstie shines,) the classic "Mad World," Eilish's "When the Party's Over," "Havana," and their brilliant mash-up "New Rules/Are You That Somebody." Then Kevin's "Down," Mitch's Billie Eilish's "Your Power." BTW, they're just as awesome live. Oh, and don't forget Superfruit's "Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2." You're welcome.
They are amazing! You'll never be disappointed in anything they do. Their originals will blow you're mind. Love your reactions. Welcome to the legions of Pentaholics!
Recommend their Say Something, Shallow, Sound Of Silence, Amazing Grace, Be My Eyes, A Little Space featuring ATEEZ, and Midnight In Tokyo featuring LGM The last three are originals.
I love PTX. Check out these if you like a good beat: Havana, Coffee in Bed, Can’t Hold Us, New Rules X Are you that Somebody, and all the evolution videos. Just to name a few. Of course Hallelujah and Amazing Grace are outstanding.
Actually using a megaphone for this guitar solo has been around for decades. There used to be a music bar/club in the US called Howl at the Moon. It consisted of 2 grand pianos with piano players playing every song you know the words to. (And beer & booze.) At shift change from 1 piano player to another they would do Bohemian Rhapsody and use a little megaphone for the guitar solos.
It does sound like a legit drum kit. High hat, snare rim, symbols. 😃 I think Mitch thought of the megaphone. The megaphone is a bit of a misnomer. I have heard (for people that should know) the guts are removed & what you hear is actually Mitch, just through the cone of the megaphone. No sound amplification with the megaphone at all. However there was a microphone pickup inside the cone somewhere. No way to confirm it for sure unless someone knows the back story.
Awesome reactions. "Oh come all Ye Faithful" is the best version of this song. Who knew that song had pep LOL Ive never been a huge fan of "Bohemian Rhapsody" but their version sold me🤯 Love the red and green lights and looking forward to your reactions of their Christmas Songs. They breathe new life into the classics. Thank you for all you do, you're a joy to watch and listen to.
If you haven't done it yet you need to see this live. Mitch doesn't use the megaphone, and you will see that the megaphone is only used for the loudness, not distortion. He actually sounds like a guitar.
Usually people are considered eligible to be a Pentaholic if they know the group’s names… but ya know… maybe that’s just me lol! (Jk, you may know their names and just didn’t say them idk 🤣)
Hey Matteo, I think now is the time for you should react to some of their originals. I suggest Run to You, Sing and Coffee in Bed. These differ from each other in many interesting ways.
If you look for their performances on "The Sing-Off" where they first hit the scene, Mitch does a guitar effect there - ten years before their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. But others can play that kind of game, too. Kevin does a Flugelhorn in "Havana." Not to be missed.
You should check out Imagine by Pentatonix, it's one of my favorites ♥ the wall of sound they create adds so much emotion to an already emotionally charged song! Definitely subscribed to you, and welcome to the Pentaholic family!
Great reaction to this awesome Pentatonix video. Thank you. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite Pentatonix reactors. Welcome to the Pentaholic family. Subscribed. Also, Mitch can sound like a violin too.
I have seen them perform this live and Mitch does not use the megaphone (only a prop) to achieve the sound. HE DOES SOUND LIKE the guitar solo. Welcome to the Pentaholic family.
Most reactors haven’t said much about the guitar solos so it was great to hear you comment there. Next time the come back to Australia you need to go and see them live. It’s an amazing show.
i saw your reaction to this and others..great job...daft punk won them their first of 3 graammys (which i saw your reaction to)....the other 2 were dance of the sugar plum fairies and jolene with dolly parton....check them out
The megaphone was just a prop they used in the video. It wasn't used in the actual recording, and Mitch doesn't use it when they perform the song live. If you know all the group member's names and you love what they do, then you can officially call yourself a Pentaholic!

Mitch doesn't need the megaphone. He gets the same sound live.
Welcome grasshopper to the Pentaholics!
Welcome to Pentaholic land!! The megaphone is a prop, Mitch doesn't need it in concert
That’s incredible! 🤩
Thank you for your knowledgeable and enthusiastic reaction! I look forward to more PTX reactions from you!
Thank you so much!

another example of how Pentatonix doesn't do covers. They do upgrades.
They turn the originals into covers.
I do wish Freddy could have heard them. He once said you could do what you want with his music except make it boring. It's NOT boring.
Back in the oldy days when music went from mono to stereo, it was a "thing" to pan left and right to prove that you were recording in stereo. Fancy.
Yes, you are officially a Pentaholic now.
The look of sheer disbelief and confusion on your face at Mitch's guitar solo was just amazing! And yes, he can morph his voice to fit pretty much any song. He really does sound exactly like Freddie.
I was so shocked 😳 literally speechless 😂
@@MatteoP
It's called Mitch Slapped and regularly happens.
And Mitch does the same effect live on stage without the megaphone. It's really just a prop, he doesn't need it.
Kevin (vocal percussionist) is actually a genius musically and logically. Hes the one who came up with Mitch using the megaphone.
Welcome to the pack, fellow Pentaholic! They wanted to do this cover for a long time, but they wanted to do it real justice. I think they did, and so did Brian May, the guitarist from Queen. When it came out, he posted it on his social media, with the caption, "Enjoy!".
They definitely did it justice 😊

Will do!

Thank you so much 💜 If interested my reaction to the 90’s Dance Medley can be found here th-cam.com/video/MQ54yoVCacU/w-d-xo.html
Mitch Slapped for sure lol
Pentatonix: "Ok now electric guitar solo...."
Mitch: "I got it covered!"
Pentaholics: "Mitch is a human guitar. These are futuristic sci-fi aliens!"
There are videos of them doing this live, and Mitch sounds the same sans-megaphone.
Might have to check it out 😊
The reason he sounds exactly the same in a live concert is that the audio mixer has the distortion effect turned on for those snippets. In a VIP/No Mic situation it would sound different.
Yep...you are OFFICIALLY a Pentaholic. Welcome down "the rabbit hole"! Thank you! Loved your reaction and appreciation of their talents.

Just discovering your PTX reactions. Love your enthusiasm, and great Aussie accent! Here for all the Pentatonix you can handle.
Thank you so much 😊
They are amazing! You'll never be disappointed in anything they do. Their originals will blow you're mind. Love your reactions. Welcome to the legions of Pentaholics!
Thank you 😊
Brian May gave his seal of approval on this.
Recommend their Say Something, Shallow, Sound Of Silence, Amazing Grace, Be My Eyes, A Little Space featuring ATEEZ, and Midnight In Tokyo featuring LGM The last three are originals.

You're definitely a Pentaholic and we're happy to have you with us! I truly love your reactions and I'm excited for the next one😍
Thank you so much 💜
Yep, your a pentaholic! Love your reactions! Enjoy the rabbit hole. 😁😁😎
I shall 😊

Yes, the audio went left to right - just like on Queens album.
If you haven't already done so, listen to their version of "Somebody that I used to know".
If you haven't done it yet you need to see this live. Mitch doesn't use the megaphone, and you will see that the megaphone is only used for the loudness, not distortion. He actually sounds like a guitar.
Usually people are considered eligible to be a Pentaholic if they know the group’s names… but ya know… maybe that’s just me lol! (Jk, you may know their names and just didn’t say them idk 🤣)
🤣 that "Mitch Slapped" gets me every time in reactors.
Hey Matteo, I think now is the time for you should react to some of their originals. I suggest Run to You, Sing and Coffee in Bed. These differ from each other in many interesting ways.
Will definitely be having a look at these in the near future 😊
The genius is Kevin the beatboxer. He's responsible for many of their sounds
Welcome, Pentaholic! Loved your reaction! I've seen this video more times than I can count, and it always is amazing! Thanks!
Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much and I’ll add it to the list 😊
Great reaction to this awesome Pentatonix video. Thank you. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite Pentatonix reactors. Welcome to the Pentaholic family. Subscribed. Also, Mitch can sound like a violin too.
Thank you so much 💜 And that’s amazing 🤩
I've been fan for quite a while now and I just can't believe how Carefree they all are.
The megaphone is just a prop Mitch makes that sound in concert without it
I have seen them perform this live and Mitch does not use the megaphone (only a prop) to achieve the sound. HE DOES SOUND LIKE the guitar solo. Welcome to the Pentaholic family.
You can call yourself anything you want these days. But, This one is a great choice. :)
Please react to their EVOLUTION OF MUSIC and my fav is their cover of RIDE from twenty one pilots ♡
I’ll add them to the list 😊
Mitch is the genius, the megaphone is just a prop!
A PTX tour de force and yes, you can call yourself a Pentaholic. Welcome to the family!
Thank you so much 😊
Voiceplay does a great Queen in 5 Minutes. Hope you like that one too!
m.th-cam.com/video/krcU5xmlzqA/w-d-xo.html
Queen did the left right pan all those years ago! Yes, you're right. 😁
Most reactors haven’t said much about the guitar solos so it was great to hear you comment there. Next time the come back to Australia you need to go and see them live. It’s an amazing show.
100% will be no doubt 😊
Yep!
Great reaction this is one of my favourite PTX songs
Please react to three Pentatonix originals
Happy Now, Be My Eyes, Sing. Amazing!!!
I will definitely be doing this soon 😊
The Megaphone is a prop listen to the Hollywood Bowl live performance.
i saw your reaction to this and others..great job...daft punk won them their first of 3 graammys (which i saw your reaction to)....the other 2 were dance of the sugar plum fairies and jolene with dolly parton....check them out
Check out the "behind the scenes" video on this th-cam.com/video/Q8ugJnIG_Lk/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction.
Loved your enthusiastic reaction and great to see a fellow Aussie reaction channel. Happy new subscriber.
Thank you so much!
New sub here. Welcome to the Pentaholics rabbit hole. Here for the ride 😂
You got Mitch slapped! Lol!
to be a true Pentaholic you have to see the Ahaa, Singapore, Star Vista
Some of us think Kevin eats drum kits for breakfast.
❣❣❣
New to the channel mate. Cheers! Yea...this group man :D
HALLELUJAH PLS
Added to the list 😊
That is one of queen songs.
I swear..Mitch sounds occasionally like Karen Carpenter..that honey sweetness..
The megaphone is turned off! It's just a prop. Mitch does the guitar solos entirely with his voice.
You should review My Favorite Things, Dance of the sugar plumb fairy and God bless ye merry Gentlemen
There is no good place to stop...
Gotta subscribe to a Pentaholic. :-). Please react to their cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" .
Thank you so much 😊 I’ll add it to the list!
remember Pentatonix doesn't cover songs they Upgrade them.
The megaphone was just a prop they used in the video. It wasn't used in the actual recording, and Mitch doesn't use it when they perform the song live. If you know all the group member's names and you love what they do, then you can officially call yourself a Pentaholic!
A Pop Av.
well, before you can call yourself a Pentaholic you have to know all their names by heart and you should know how to say it
Stop talking so much
It's a reaction video, so I'm going to react (which includes talking).
