Yes he was ...I was only 15 when he passed. That was a rough couple years. Cried like a baby when I saw Bohemian Rhapsody because apparently I repressed everything I knew and loved about Queen up until like two years ago...Also two of my cousins were murdered in 90 and 91 back to Back because Detroit....I had to mourn Freddie all over again😭😭😭🎸🎸🎸Oh yeah I saw queen and Adam Lambert at work in 2019 I know some people say it’s not the same but since I never saw Freddy live and Brian and Roger like Adam, its beautiful... I cried a little
Would this be the same God that allows bone cancer in children?. The same god that created a bug that burrows behind children's eyes then eats it's way out?. How dare this god you speak of , create a world where there is so much suffering that isn't people's fault.
Freddie was humble...charitable...kind....caring......adorable...funny......a wonderful lyricist and composer....in essence a fine human being.....Freddie forever❤️✨💫⭐️🌟
A Rock reporter once said Freddie had a charisma so powerful he could get an audience to do anything he asked, thank God he used it for good. The report also said, Freddie strutted on the stage like a Beautiful Peacock.
Wasn't just the crowd in front of Freddie doing the " radio Gaga" clap.........there were 90,000 Philadelphians across the pond doing the same thing simultaneously, to a giant screen .........that brought us all together that day ......incredible !!!! Gotta love Queen .❤️
What always makes me laugh is that I'm from Philadelphia, but I was at Wembley Stadium for Live Aid by sheer chance. My mom and I were there for vacation and the tickets were offered to us for approximately $10.
I was in the crowd in Philadelphia, watching Queen on the jumbotrons, and I can tell you that we were absolutely following along just like the crowd in London. We didn't react like that to any of the other groups playing in London, but Queen got us up and moving.
Live Aid was a charity event to raise money for the famine in Africa. Each artist was given a 20 min set to perform. Queen took this opportunity very seriously and practiced a week or two to get the 20 min set perfect. They even had a giant clock in the rehearsals!! Queen blew everybody away and to this day this performance is considered the best in rock history considering the event circumstances. Over 72,000 were there & over a billion people watched around the world. Queen was amazing & said that this was truly Freddie’s day!! The Dr. told Freddie not to perform cuz of the nodules in his throat - the rest is rock history!!! A big shout out to the other members of Queen - Brian May, Roger Taylor, & John Deacon!! Btw, Freddie was bisexual so I’m sure both men & women would’ve gone home with Freddie that day! 🤪 Freddie’s endurance is unmatched .... a normal Queen concert lasted over two hours. Freddie was a boxer - hence the Adidas shoes plus he said they were comfortable!! Queen is one of the best selling bands of all time!!! You should react to NOW I’M HERE live at Wembley 1986. Amazing!!! Great reaction 😁
Freddys been declared the greatest front man of all time!! And I agree! And this concert performance by Queen was voted the greatest live performance ever!
That drummer is TOTALLY “doing his thing”. That would be Roger Taylor, and besides those drums, he is the other voice you’re hearing throughout. He has all the high harmonies and was almost clairvoyant at knowing exactly which notes to jump in and cover whenever Freddie’s voice got strained. The entire band was that tight at reading each other’s cues. One more reason that they dominated the live scene.
Agree totally. You can hear Roger's voice getting louder and louder as the set goes on and Freddie's voice is beginning to strain. Roger is barely seen in the video but he was phenomenal. B May said that the acoustics were so bad onstage that they couldn't even hear one another. A really remarkable performance down to the whole band's professionalism.
Freddie Mercury is one of the best male vocalists to ever live. Such an incredible imprint he left with his music and creativity. My dad was a huge queen. So glad some one recommended this.
I DON'T AGREE ONLY BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE THERE WAS 2 OTHER MEN THAT ARE MUCH DESERVING AS THE GOAT..FOR ME MICHAEL JACKSON WAS ALSO A GOAT BUT THE MAIN NUMERO UNO GOAT WAS ELVIS...AND HONESTLY UNLESS U HAVE SEEN ELVIS'S LIVE 68 COMEBACK SPECIAL OR HIS WHITE SUIT VERSION OF "IF I CAN DREAM" AND POLK SALAD ANNIE,SUSPICIOUS MINDS OH GOD HE JAS WAY TOO MANY AMAZING SONGS AND LIVE PERFORMANCES TO LIST..SO I SUPPOSE IT MIGHT COME DOWN TO WNAT STYLE U PREFER..AND I SAY THAT MEANING BETWEEN FREDDY AND MICHEAL CUZ ELVIS WAS THE FIRST TO PERFECT TRUE SHOWMENSHIP AND THE TOTAL PACKAGE WHEN IT CAME TO SINGING AND PERFORMING AND SHOWING HIS FANS MAJOR LOVE BY NOT TAKING HIS OWN SAFETY INTO ACCOUNT AND WALKING I TO THE AUDIENCE ,ALLOWING DOZENS OF WOMEN TO KISS HIM AMD HE SURE LOVED TO KISS THEM BACK LOL...WATCH HIS SONG "LOVE ME TENDER" LOL
You enjoyed this? Now fast forward one year to Wembley '86 to hear 'Under Pressure' and watch Freddie lead a capacity crowd through two and a half minutes of vocal gymnastics!
“Under pressure” and “another one bites the dust” live Wembley stadium freaking awesome the whole concert is awesome but those two songs all I love them specially the way he performs in at Wembley amazing!!!
That performance blew my socks off. I remember when the song was released. I worked in a bar at the time and the juke box went through a few recordings it was played so much.
Just to add ... the audience is NOT Made up of people paying to see Queen. Queen wasn’t even announced when the tickets had already sold out!! It makes the crowd interaction even more impressive when you put that thought into the equation!! Great reaction 👏👏👏 👑❣️👑❣️👑
Freddie wrote this song while sitting in the bath “Crazy Little Thing called Love” ...it only took him 10 minutes to compose...now that’s what you call genius🤩
Queen’s official video for Bohemian Rhapsody has 1.2BILLION views. Need I say more? Their music catalogue can be described as one of anthems & pure classic songs. You must work your way through all the songs recommended & more, such as the live version of ‘Somebody to Love’, Montreal, 1981, ‘Under Pressure’, ‘Save Me’, ‘Killer Queen’, ‘One Vision’ & ‘Love of my Life’ both from Wembley, 1986. This is a journey that you will remember for the rest of your life, it’s that powerful. Best wishes 👍
And if I may add on: These Are The Days Of Our Lives, '39, Too Much Love Will Kill You, Princes Of The Universe, Stone Cold Crazy, I'm In Love With My Car.....there's so many lol
Queen were not just rock. They did all sorts of music and totally nailed everything they did. Gospel, soul, jazz, blues, folk, ballads etc. There was no limit to their talent.
Queen was 4 equal people, Freddie was the first to say this. All were university graduates, all song writers, and multi instrumentalists. Freddie lead vocals, piano sometimes guitar degree in graphic design. Brian lead guitar, backing vocals, sometimes piano now has PhD in Astrophysics. Roger drummer (as well as guitar, bass piano-- his songs were mostly complete when he brought them to the group) high backing vocals, degree in Biology. John bass, (guitar piano etc) only one that really didn't sing, degree in electrical engineering.
And they had a unique sound because Decan (bass) invented the amp they used, and to this day no one has been able to replicate it. What you had up there was the cast from the "big bang theory" with instruments and a mic in their hands. All 4 were geniuses in thier field, and as can be seen in music as well. They are all legends that will never be matched. Can you imagine having to be one of the bands to play after them that night? How do you live up to the standard they just dropped on that stage? 😂😂
@@kelleeholmes9448 hahahaha I LOVE your description: "the cast from the Big Bang Theory with instruments and a mic in their hands"... I hope it would be okay if I "borrow" this!
well bi sexual he had female lovers too his wife and a french madam he was living with when he found out he had hiv just watched days of our lives which is the queen offical documentary its on the queen youtube channel
@@RK-zf1jm French Madam? He was living in Garden Lodge, his home, with his husband Jim, even before he was diagnosed with AIDS lol. He never lived anywhere else after 1985. He had female lovers before he came out as gay. And all those female lovers (Rosemary Pearson and Mary Austin) said that they broke up bc he was gay. Days Of our Lives documentary is a manipulated by Jim Beach, Queen manager and PR, who still doesn't want to bring up anything about homosexuality. I only count on Freddie's friends including Mary, Brian and Roger. I didn't ask himself since nobody can, but I read all of his friends' books and interviews about him. Try watching "Freddie the untold story" and "Freddie's loves" documentaries. Solid facts. I am not talking about my opinions or the thing I have heard from people who were remotely related to Freddie. And Freddie defined himself as gay, I read it from multiple places. Sorry but just facts, nothing else. BTW he and Barbara (she wasn't French if you're talking about her) were very close friends and she didn't leave him bc of AIDS, Freddie kicked her out because she was constantly lying about Freddie being in love with herself. Barbara was a liar. Her daughter later confessed it. The thing is Freddie was living in Munich in 83-84 and he had a boyfriend in there Winnie Kirchberger, this is when Freddie met Barbara. Barbara was their friend and their translator, German to English cuz neither Winnie knew english nor Freddie knew German.
Yep. If you want as many subs as possible. Queen reactions are a great way to get them. Once people notice you're doing some Queen those subs will rise. To this day they have among the largest fanbases of any musicians in history. Reacting to Queen, Somebody to Love, Montreal 1981. Would be a good choice. Queen are judged by MANY to be one of if not the best live performance band in history. And Freddie Mercury the lead singer is judged by MANY including some other highly regarded musicians as being the best frontman of all time.
I was going to say the same thing, but I was going to add 1 Direction's fanbase is just as huge. The on problem with them is their loyalty to their favorites and their willingness to argue the point.
@@MARTIN-bd7gm ? Delusional. What's so delusional about the comment I made? Ask any reactioner and they'll tell you their subs have gone up due to reacting to 1D or any of the boys since their hiatus. Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Liam Payne seem to be a big draw. I've noticed it with other channels. Believe what you want, I'm not a starry eyed teen, I happen to remember the day Freddie Mercury died. In fact I remember the day Elvis Presley died. And I'm still a fan of modern music and that includes 1 Direction.
Nobody could ever get an audience reaction like Freddie Mercury 👏👍👏👍 Queen are 1 of the top bands ever. The music they made was ahead of the Times. Freddie was such a flamboyant artiste and Nobody will ever measure up to him. He was one of a kind. He is so very missed. If he was still alive today imagine what Queen music 🎶 would be like now. !!!!! I loved watching your reactions to this 20 minute segment of live aid. ❤🎤🎸🎼🎵🎶💛🙂👍
This concert was massive, over a billion people watched it on TV all overe the world. Queen was known world wide even before this because they had played in so many dirrerent countries. I suggest you react to One Vision, the opener at Queen's 1986 Concert at Wembley Stadium, if you want to see how to open a concert!
Queen wrote and sang all the songs in the film Highlander it’s a kind of magic and who wants to live forever just two of the wonderful songs of the film
I like that you appreciate the crowd and their responses. You will never see another concert like ths. No cell phne cameras, no jumbotron screen, no pyro. Just captivating talent.
Tickets weren't that expensive for most concerts and they were all general admission and seating until a fan was trampled to death at a WHO concert in Cincinnati. Ad stated earlier tickets were generally under 20 bucks for a 2 to 3 hour concert. This particular event went 16 hours. Queen came on at a prime time with David Bowie, Elton John and Paul McCartney to follow. We were doing the hand clap 5000 miles away in our living room watching it on television. That's how powerful this performance was.
@@andysutcliffe3915 In 1977 the year Elvis died, his tickets were 10 bucks each! I had two sadly, they were never used. 🥺 I don't recall how much I paid for Queen tickets, not much compared to today's insane cost!
We in 2024: we still Rock you Freddie... Rest In Power...His music lives in to generation to generation. Music industry has really really changed....May God bless you all.... Someone still loves you 💙💙🌟💙💙🌟💙💙🌟🎆💗🎇🎆💗🎇🎆💗
Back in the 70's and 80's concerts were amazing...you were getting joints passed from all over and drinks...and the cops didn't interfere unless someone was having a bad trip
"Now I'm Here" Live @ Wembley!! Freddie was ALL ABOUT the crowd participation! He was the master at getting them to do whatever he wanted! Queen is the best Live band EVER!! (Also, FYI.. Freddie's boyfriend, Jim Hutton, was in attendance for this show. His first concert ever and his first time seeing Freddie perform live! Freddie did have a girlfriend for years (Mary Austin) which he remained very close to until his death from AIDS in 1991... . he left her the bulk of his estate) But yes, the ladies still loved Freddie Mercury! 😍
Their concert often ran for 2 hours and he sang 20+ songs, running from one end of the stage to the other so everyone in the audience had the best experience possible. His endurance was incredible. He said he had to go into training before they started a tour. The Wembley concert sold 72,000 tickets 2 nights in a row. Freddie needed his tea, tea with lemon and honey, and lemon water to keep his throat functioning. He had trouble with nodules There was an encore later that evening: Is This The World We Created, just Brian's guitar and Freddie's voice
That drummer was one of the greatest drummers ever in music, & the guitar player too! Roger Taylor & Brian May were phenominal musicians! Fun fact...Lady Gaga got her name from the hit Radio Gaga! Queen & Freddie Mercury were her idols growing up!
Freddie was once asked what his favorite instrument to play was, his answer "the audience, darling." The dude had laryngitis that day. His voice was thrashed and yet he mustered the strength to bust out one of the best performances ever. We may never see his like again. Thankfully we have these videos and these songs to come back to. There was a lot of excellent artists at that same concert too. I'd argue that every artist on that roster has at least a handful of hits you'd like. Queen is just up in the Pantheon of rock. The first song that they played a bit of, Is sometimes regarded as the greatest song ever written. There's a lot of debate around that but I can definitely see why. There's a reason why anytime people hear those opening chords, everyone sings along with "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Any Queen live will never disappoint. Unlike most if not all artists, Queen was better than the editing equipment used in studio versions, it actually took away from their talent instead of helping it. Freddie could not stand lip syncing and fought it tooth and nail and ONLY did it when they had to, like for videos. You want a song where all the instruments play your flipping soul? Listen to " White Queen live at the Odeon" It was from the 70's, the instrumental will put you in a trance. Freddie is as of late known as the "Human Auto Tune" on the rare occasion his voice cracked, he still did it in tune 😂😂 He couldn't hand you a bad note if he tried...lol
Queen is one of the best bands ever! You should check out the video from the Green Day concert 2017, 65.000 people singing Bohemian Rapsody, while the Band is on break. This shows how amazing Queen is.
Freddie was bisexual. He was a rock god who lived his life on his terms no matter what anyone else thought. So brave considering the stigmatization that occurred back then. When he joined his golden voice with the other members of Queen they became true musical professionals and experimental. He was incredible onstage with a crowd as were his band mates Brian, John and Roger and they formed magic.
@@protonneutron9046 she was more then a cover they were together for 6 years and stayed close until he passed away and he left everything to her in his will so I'd say she was more then just a cover 😊
@@nelsonlourenco3781 Lots of gay men have had girlfriends lol. Especially back then. Whilst dating Mary he was cheating on her with guys and living a lie. Thankfully when they finally ended it he could be himself. He kept her on his arm at public events to throw people off. Everyone who knew Freddie said in private he referred to himself as GAY, including Mary.
Freddie Mercury said some time later that he was only at about 70% strength because of his health. Queen wasn't originally scheduled to play that day. They were added after the event tickets had already been sold. They also didn't want to perform like every other artist or band. Others were only interested in promoting their latest hits or albums. Queen decided to do things a bit differently, which is why they played a lot of older (more familiar) stuff of theirs, except Hammer To Fall. It also explains the simplicity of the stage setup, the lights, and even the way they dressed. They didn't want the performance to be about being flamboyant; they wanted it to be all about the music. The next act to go on stage, after Queen, was the legendary David Bowie. It's noted that as he passed by Queen on his way to the stage, he was upset at how well they had been received by the crowd, and he reportedly said "You bastard! How the f**k am I supposed to follow that?!?!" Queen had just owned the Wembley Stadium crowd of 72,000 people for over 21 minutes, and in doing so, they set the standard for how a music performance was supposed to be done, and all the other acts had to scramble to try to match their intensity.
He is still special. Always will be. Loving your reaction. You bring back memories for me. Thankyou so much. Much love to you from Manchester. England. X
I´ve been spending (too much?) time on other reaction channels, seeing your name pop up here and there. Finally discovered this channel (thanks to "Gnat"). At first I felt like "you´re interrupting Queen, delivering one of the greatest live performances ever" ... no, you´re really reacting (like a musician). Feeling it.
"He came for the ladies" Lol, nah, Freddie was SO gay 😄 I wish he was still with us, he's so missed ❤❤❤ They're not his back up people, btw, this is an equal band. Everyone wrote hit songs.
@@markbanner6473 I knew somebody would argue this. People always do so I just cope and paste at this point. Nope, he wasn't. His friends, including Brian, Roger AND Mary has said that he was gay. His sister says in a documentary that he's gay and he didn't need to come out because they already knew, his stylist has said in a documentary, that he lived a gay lifestyle. His personal assistant for 12 years and who lived with him, Peter Freestone, says he was gay. Freddie HIMSELF referred to himself as gay. He's quoted as saying he's as gay as a daffodil. Once his manager told him he was gay and Freddie replied with "So am I!" When he went out, he went to gay clubs and, listen to this, slept with men, not women. I rather listen to the people close to him who loved and knew him instead of mainstream rumors journalists have written. The book by Leslie Ann Jones for example is full of lies. If his friends would have said he was bi I would have said so too. But he wasn't, he was gay as hell lol.
@@sannaolsson9106 Well Google says it's the case. :D :D But yes ok Gay. He did ask Mary to marry him though. That could be one of those cases of trying to go along with the "norm" back in the day. Could be part of the reason at least. It wasn't easy being gay back then.
@@markbanner6473 Yeah, he probably was conflicted himself. He wasn't out yet at that point. He was never publically out, but with the people who knew him I mean.
@@sannaolsson9106 Peter Freestone's books is full of lies, Jim Hutton's book is full of lies, just like Leslie Ann Jones. Everyone who wrote books about Freddie specifically are generally telling fables.
Bisexual.. I get tired of people thinking all bi men are straight up gay just because they are with both men and women but focus on the men part. Erasing the women. That's why it's called bi-erasure.
Yes, Freddie was gay (or bisexual?) He left almost all his fortune to a "love of his life" Mary Austin. And female Queen fans (as me) are totally in love for him! Queen is magnificent and FREDDIE MERCURY is extraterrestrial!!!! Songs? Under pressure, Onother one bite the dust, Don't stop me now, Play the game live at Montreal.... Welcome to the QUEEN experience! 👑❤️
Love this Queen reaction, You're so Nice to watch, the fact you are open to many genres of music. Queen was an amazing band, with a huge catalogue. 4 artists! I suggest Is this the world we created live at Wembley. Subbed and Much bless!
Freddie was beloved by so many people. I remember when they announced that he had passed away in 1991 i cried so hard . He was a true legend and left one hell of a legacy. He is truly missed
Somebody to love live from montreal 1981, thank us later. Another one bites the dust official video and under pressure wembley 86 all have a similar feel to this!
Bowie was backstage as Queen performed. As they came off stage, Bowie walked up to them, looked at them, and said, "You BASTards!" Then they all laughed, hugged, and enjoyed the moment. Once Queen got back to their trailer, they heard someone pounding on the door. They opened it, and it was Elton, who merely said, "Thank you for f*cking it up for the rest of us!" whereupon, they all laughed, shook hands and hugged again. They all knew it was the greatest rock performance of all time.
Yes. Went home many nights with a burn from holding a lighter up. The flame on the phone looks great but not the same. You can hold it up a lot longer however lol.
You have to be the happiest reactor I have seen so far! Most of the time when I watch this performance I cry the entire time. You have made me smile and I guarantee Freddie is too.
Most probably the drink was tea with honey to soothe his throat. No beer. Freddie felt it was disrespectful to the audience if he burped while singing :) Great reaction
He did Fat bottomed girls. That's the only other Queen he's done so far. But that was the official video. Great of course. But you haven't done it until you've done it live, Milton Keynes Bowl, 1982. :D
Freddie Mercury - greatest r & r front man of all time. Brian May - built his guitar w/his dad as a teen, still rocks & PhD in Astrophysics. John Deacon - awesome bass player & electronic engineer. Roger Taylor the singing drummer, still rockin'. They all wrote #1 hit songs, and brought us songs in a multitude of genre's. Various forms of rock, folk, funk, thrash metal, ballads, blues, ... opera fusion. LOL! Be careful now, Freddie always said he was NOT "the leader" of the band. Very equal status. Check out more! Thanks!
Oh man...I remember this day SO vividly. It was a hot July day and I was a 12-year-old boy who should have been outside riding my bike, or playing with my dog or swimming in our pool, but NOPE!! I spent almost the entire day watching Live Aid and lamenting the fact that I was just a kid and not able to be in London with what appeared to be half the world. I will NEVER forget when Queen came on to do their set. It felt like a jolt of electricity came out of the television set, so I can only imagine what it must have been like in that stadium. This was years before TH-cam so I had never seen a live Queen performance. I had heard them on the radio, listened their records and watched their music videos, but I had NO idea of the massive power they brought to a concert stage. You have just witnessed the greatest 20 minutes in rock history. Awesome reaction, and I really appreciate that you give these legends the respect they deserve.
Previously subscribed because I really enjoy your appreciation of Queen’s music! Just watched this today, and so wonderful to witness your becoming a fan!! FYI - this is NOT a Queen audience, as they were not even on the publicized list. So they won ALL the audience over with their Legendary talent and music!! 😊
The reason Fred points his bum out is to his old manager to say kiss my ars. Listen to Death on Two Legs, which was written for the manager who ripped them off in their early years.
As far as his endurance, gotta remember he was also battling aids and prior to going on stage his doctor advised him not to perform so Freddie chugged 2 tall shots of vodka and did his thing. He is a legend..
Freddie was a gift from God.
Yes he was ...I was only 15 when he passed. That was a rough couple years. Cried like a baby when I saw Bohemian Rhapsody because apparently I repressed everything I knew and loved about Queen up until like two years ago...Also two of my cousins were murdered in 90 and 91 back to Back because Detroit....I had to mourn Freddie all over again😭😭😭🎸🎸🎸Oh yeah I saw queen and Adam Lambert at work in 2019 I know some people say it’s not the same but since I never saw Freddy live and Brian and Roger like Adam, its beautiful...

Queen’s official video for Bohemian Rhapsody has 1.2BILLION views. Need I say more? Their music catalogue can be described as one of anthems & pure classic songs. You must work your way through all the songs recommended & more, such as the live version of ‘Somebody to Love’, Montreal, 1981, ‘Under Pressure’, ‘Save Me’, ‘Killer Queen’, ‘One Vision’ & ‘Love of my Life’ both from Wembley, 1986. This is a journey that you will remember for the rest of your life, it’s that powerful. Best wishes 👍
The tickets were sold out before the audience knew Queen would be playing at live Aid. They still stole the show.
The ladies? The men bi,gay straight who cares he is everything!!!!
You have Just witnessed the greatest of all
Freddie Mercury
Who wants to live forever, the show must go on, innuendo, under pressure, another bites the dust, somebody to love, love of my life...
Innuendo is beyond underrated and underappreciated in general.
And if I may add on: These Are The Days Of Our Lives, '39, Too Much Love Will Kill You, Princes Of The Universe, Stone Cold Crazy, I'm In Love With My Car.....there's so many lol
@@TheSandersd84 YES, Innuendo is a masterpiece!
I love that song, The show must go on.
It's amazing
Queen were not just rock. They did all sorts of music and totally nailed everything they did. Gospel, soul, jazz, blues, folk, ballads etc. There was no limit to their talent.
Queen was 4 equal people, Freddie was the first to say this. All were university graduates, all song writers, and multi instrumentalists. Freddie lead vocals, piano sometimes guitar degree in graphic design. Brian lead guitar, backing vocals, sometimes piano now has PhD in Astrophysics. Roger drummer (as well as guitar, bass piano-- his songs were mostly complete when he brought them to the group) high backing vocals, degree in Biology. John bass, (guitar piano etc) only one that really didn't sing, degree in electrical engineering.
And they had a unique sound because Decan (bass) invented the amp they used, and to this day no one has been able to replicate it. What you had up there was the cast from the "big bang theory" with instruments and a mic in their hands. All 4 were geniuses in thier field, and as can be seen in music as well. They are all legends that will never be matched. Can you imagine having to be one of the bands to play after them that night? How do you live up to the standard they just dropped on that stage? 😂😂
David Bowie was the next artist up. Can you imagine following this. Rock on.
@@kelleeholmes9448 hahahaha I LOVE your description: "the cast from the Big Bang Theory with instruments and a mic in their hands"... I hope it would be okay if I "borrow" this!
Bohemian Rhapsody guitar solo was written by Brian May...
On July 13, 1985, we had world peace for 22 minutes because of Freddie, Brian. Roger and John.
Freddie was gay, and he died from aids in 1991, but men and women loved him and still do💛
Freddy was Bi.
@@ericr5529 his friends and he, himself, said that he was gay, why people are using their guesses as facts
well bi sexual he had female lovers too his wife and a french madam he was living with when he found out he had hiv just watched days of our lives which is the queen offical documentary its on the queen youtube channel
@@RK-zf1jm Freddie never got married so no wife and the other lady Barbara was not a madam but a actress.
@@RK-zf1jm French Madam? He was living in Garden Lodge, his home, with his husband Jim, even before he was diagnosed with AIDS lol. He never lived anywhere else after 1985. He had female lovers before he came out as gay. And all those female lovers (Rosemary Pearson and Mary Austin) said that they broke up bc he was gay. Days Of our Lives documentary is a manipulated by Jim Beach, Queen manager and PR, who still doesn't want to bring up anything about homosexuality. I only count on Freddie's friends including Mary, Brian and Roger. I didn't ask himself since nobody can, but I read all of his friends' books and interviews about him. Try watching "Freddie the untold story" and "Freddie's loves" documentaries. Solid facts. I am not talking about my opinions or the thing I have heard from people who were remotely related to Freddie. And Freddie defined himself as gay, I read it from multiple places. Sorry but just facts, nothing else.
BTW he and Barbara (she wasn't French if you're talking about her) were very close friends and she didn't leave him bc of AIDS, Freddie kicked her out because she was constantly lying about Freddie being in love with herself. Barbara was a liar. Her daughter later confessed it. The thing is Freddie was living in Munich in 83-84 and he had a boyfriend in there Winnie Kirchberger, this is when Freddie met Barbara. Barbara was their friend and their translator, German to English cuz neither Winnie knew english nor Freddie knew German.
Yep. If you want as many subs as possible. Queen reactions are a great way to get them. Once people notice you're doing some Queen those subs will rise. To this day they have among the largest fanbases of any musicians in history.
Reacting to Queen, Somebody to Love, Montreal 1981. Would be a good choice.
Queen are judged by MANY to be one of if not the best live performance band in history. And Freddie Mercury the lead singer is judged by MANY including some other highly regarded musicians as being the best frontman of all time.
I appreciate that alot🤝🖤💯
what if Freddy was still Alive, the show would have go on
I was going to say the same thing, but I was going to add 1 Direction's fanbase is just as huge. The on problem with them is their loyalty to their favorites and their willingness to argue the point.
@@aprilmarket3217 dellusiional
@@MARTIN-bd7gm ? Delusional. What's so delusional about the comment I made? Ask any reactioner and they'll tell you their subs have gone up due to reacting to 1D or any of the boys since their hiatus. Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Liam Payne seem to be a big draw. I've noticed it with other channels. Believe what you want, I'm not a starry eyed teen, I happen to remember the day Freddie Mercury died. In fact I remember the day Elvis Presley died. And I'm still a fan of modern music and that includes 1 Direction.
Nobody could ever get an audience reaction like Freddie Mercury 👏👍👏👍 Queen are 1 of the top bands ever. The music they made was ahead of the Times. Freddie was such a flamboyant artiste and Nobody will ever measure up to him. He was one of a kind. He is so very missed. If he was still alive today imagine what Queen music 🎶 would be like now. !!!!! I loved watching your reactions to this 20 minute segment of live aid. ❤🎤🎸🎼🎵🎶💛🙂👍
He was asked "what's your instrument?" Freddie's answer: "the audience"
This concert was massive, over a billion people watched it on TV all overe the world. Queen was known world wide even before this because they had played in so many dirrerent countries. I suggest you react to One Vision, the opener at Queen's 1986 Concert at Wembley Stadium, if you want to see how to open a concert!
One Vision is one of my favourits songs! You can see how much fun they had! ❤️
Hello from Scotland! I wasn't there but watched it live on TV. Queen blew everyone else off the park!
Queen wrote and sang all the songs in the film Highlander it’s a kind of magic and who wants to live forever just two of the wonderful songs of the film
I like that you appreciate the crowd and their responses. You will never see another concert like ths. No cell phne cameras, no jumbotron screen, no pyro. Just captivating talent.
Tickets weren't that expensive for most concerts and they were all general admission and seating until a fan was trampled to death at a WHO concert in Cincinnati. Ad stated earlier tickets were generally under 20 bucks for a 2 to 3 hour concert. This particular event went 16 hours. Queen came on at a prime time with David Bowie, Elton John and Paul McCartney to follow. We were doing the hand clap 5000 miles away in our living room watching it on television. That's how powerful this performance was.
I believe David Bowie said “how the fuck am I supposed to follow that Freddie”
@@andysutcliffe3915 In 1977 the year Elvis died, his tickets were 10 bucks each! I had two sadly, they were never used. 🥺 I don't recall how much I paid for Queen tickets, not much compared to today's insane cost!
@@andysutcliffe3915 lol yep he did , i think everyone after Freddie , if they didn't say it, they for sure were thinking it
Loved your reaction to Freddie and Queen❣
Queen stole the show that day 👏🏻 react more Queen 👏🏻👏🏻
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We in 2024: we still Rock you Freddie... Rest In Power...His music lives in to generation to generation. Music industry has really really changed....May God bless you all.... Someone still loves you 💙💙🌟💙💙🌟💙💙🌟🎆💗🎇🎆💗🎇🎆💗
Back in the 70's and 80's concerts were amazing...you were getting joints passed from all over and drinks...and the cops didn't interfere unless someone was having a bad trip
"Now I'm Here" Live @ Wembley!! Freddie was ALL ABOUT the crowd participation! He was the master at getting them to do whatever he wanted! Queen is the best Live band EVER!! (Also, FYI.. Freddie's boyfriend, Jim Hutton, was in attendance for this show. His first concert ever and his first time seeing Freddie perform live! Freddie did have a girlfriend for years (Mary Austin) which he remained very close to until his death from AIDS in 1991... . he left her the bulk of his estate) But yes, the ladies still loved Freddie Mercury! 😍
Freddie Mercury is the best Singer and Showman for ever
king of rock all time .
Sir Brian May killing it on the guitar!
Their concert often ran for 2 hours and he sang 20+ songs, running from one end of the stage to the other so everyone in the audience had the best experience possible. His endurance was incredible. He said he had to go into training before they started a tour. The Wembley concert sold 72,000 tickets 2 nights in a row. Freddie needed his tea, tea with lemon and honey, and lemon water to keep his throat functioning. He had trouble with nodules
There was an encore later that evening: Is This The World We Created, just Brian's guitar and Freddie's voice
That drummer was one of the greatest drummers ever in music, & the guitar player too! Roger Taylor & Brian May were phenominal musicians! Fun fact...Lady Gaga got her name from the hit Radio Gaga! Queen & Freddie Mercury were her idols growing up!
Freddie was once asked what his favorite instrument to play was, his answer "the audience, darling."
The dude had laryngitis that day. His voice was thrashed and yet he mustered the strength to bust out one of the best performances ever.
We may never see his like again.
Thankfully we have these videos and these songs to come back to.
There was a lot of excellent artists at that same concert too. I'd argue that every artist on that roster has at least a handful of hits you'd like.
Queen is just up in the Pantheon of rock.
The first song that they played a bit of, Is sometimes regarded as the greatest song ever written. There's a lot of debate around that but I can definitely see why. There's a reason why anytime people hear those opening chords, everyone sings along with "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Any Queen live will never disappoint. Unlike most if not all artists, Queen was better than the editing equipment used in studio versions, it actually took away from their talent instead of helping it. Freddie could not stand lip syncing and fought it tooth and nail and ONLY did it when they had to, like for videos. You want a song where all the instruments play your flipping soul? Listen to " White Queen live at the Odeon" It was from the 70's, the instrumental will put you in a trance. Freddie is as of late known as the "Human Auto Tune" on the rare occasion his voice cracked, he still did it in tune 😂😂 He couldn't hand you a bad note if he tried...lol
Check out Sheer Heart Attack and Don’t Stop Me Now. Love, love Queen!
Live Aid concert ❤❤❤ 😊😊 is LIT he drinks tea , you need to watch the all whol in concert.
Queen is one of the best bands ever! You should check out the video from the Green Day concert 2017, 65.000 people singing Bohemian Rapsody, while the Band is on break. This shows how amazing Queen is.
Love your reactions. Only one Queen in the country that day. ❤
Next one has to be Somebody to Love, live in Montreal 1981. Just do it!
Yes!!!
Freddie was bisexual. He was a rock god who lived his life on his terms no matter what anyone else thought. So brave considering the stigmatization that occurred back then. When he joined his golden voice with the other members of Queen they became true musical professionals and experimental. He was incredible onstage with a crowd as were his band mates Brian, John and Roger and they formed magic.
He is gay, not an inusult, it did not matter everyone loved him.
He was bi...he had a girlfriend
He’s a bisexual, meaning he loves boys and girls. Not just men.
@@nelsonlourenco3781 that girlfriend was a cover.
@@protonneutron9046 she was more then a cover they were together for 6 years and stayed close until he passed away and he left everything to her in his will so I'd say she was more then just a cover 😊
@@nelsonlourenco3781 Lots of gay men have had girlfriends lol. Especially back then. Whilst dating Mary he was cheating on her with guys and living a lie. Thankfully when they finally ended it he could be himself. He kept her on his arm at public events to throw people off.
Everyone who knew Freddie said in private he referred to himself as GAY, including Mary.
Freddie Mercury said some time later that he was only at about 70% strength because of his health. Queen wasn't originally scheduled to play that day. They were added after the event tickets had already been sold. They also didn't want to perform like every other artist or band. Others were only interested in promoting their latest hits or albums. Queen decided to do things a bit differently, which is why they played a lot of older (more familiar) stuff of theirs, except Hammer To Fall. It also explains the simplicity of the stage setup, the lights, and even the way they dressed. They didn't want the performance to be about being flamboyant; they wanted it to be all about the music. The next act to go on stage, after Queen, was the legendary David Bowie. It's noted that as he passed by Queen on his way to the stage, he was upset at how well they had been received by the crowd, and he reportedly said "You bastard! How the f**k am I supposed to follow that?!?!" Queen had just owned the Wembley Stadium crowd of 72,000 people for over 21 minutes, and in doing so, they set the standard for how a music performance was supposed to be done, and all the other acts had to scramble to try to match their intensity.
In ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, Brian May uses 3 different guitars! Amazing to watch.
He is still special. Always will be. Loving your reaction. You bring back memories for me. Thankyou so much. Much love to you from Manchester. England. X
When Freddie was asked what was his favourite instrument to play he said "the audience darling!"🤣 F*cking LEGEND!!!!!🥰👍
You must see Queen - White Queen - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Dr Brian May killin it on the 🎸!!
Yes , but it was A Night the Odeon 1975 x
I´ve been spending (too much?) time on other reaction channels, seeing your name pop up here and there. Finally discovered this channel (thanks to "Gnat"). At first I felt like "you´re interrupting Queen, delivering one of the greatest live performances ever" ... no, you´re really reacting (like a musician). Feeling it.
You absolutely have to react to the live performance of Somebody to Love from their concert in Montreal...flawless and powerful.
Today.....you will fall in love with Queen 😊. 6 songs in 20 minutes......he sang after a world tour with laryngitis.
"He came for the ladies" Lol, nah, Freddie was SO gay 😄
I wish he was still with us, he's so missed ❤❤❤ They're not his back up people, btw, this is an equal band. Everyone wrote hit songs.
Bisexual. He started out with some ladies at least. :D
@@markbanner6473 I knew somebody would argue this. People always do so I just cope and paste at this point.
Nope, he wasn't. His friends, including Brian, Roger AND Mary has said that he was gay. His sister says in a documentary that he's gay and he didn't need to come out because they already knew, his stylist has said in a documentary, that he lived a gay lifestyle. His personal assistant for 12 years and who lived with him, Peter Freestone, says he was gay. Freddie HIMSELF referred to himself as gay. He's quoted as saying he's as gay as a daffodil. Once his manager told him he was gay and Freddie replied with "So am I!" When he went out, he went to gay clubs and, listen to this, slept with men, not women. I rather listen to the people close to him who loved and knew him instead of mainstream rumors journalists have written. The book by Leslie Ann Jones for example is full of lies. If his friends would have said he was bi I would have said so too. But he wasn't, he was gay as hell lol.
@@sannaolsson9106 Well Google says it's the case. :D :D
But yes ok Gay. He did ask Mary to marry him though. That could be one of those cases of trying to go along with the "norm" back in the day. Could be part of the reason at least. It wasn't easy being gay back then.
@@markbanner6473 Yeah, he probably was conflicted himself. He wasn't out yet at that point. He was never publically out, but with the people who knew him I mean.
@@sannaolsson9106 Peter Freestone's books is full of lies, Jim Hutton's book is full of lies, just like Leslie Ann Jones. Everyone who wrote books about Freddie specifically are generally telling fables.
I really appreciate your open mindedness and enthusiasm. Will always be a viewer . And thank you for the entertainment you provided
Tickets to concerts in the 80s were cheap. Less then $20. He was gay so the only person going home with him was his boyfriend Jim.
Freddie was bisexual. He had male and female lovers. This was confirmed by his bandmates and those close to him.
Bisexual.. I get tired of people thinking all bi men are straight up gay just because they are with both men and women but focus on the men part. Erasing the women. That's why it's called bi-erasure.
Yes, Freddie was gay (or bisexual?) He left almost all his fortune to a "love of his life" Mary Austin. And female Queen fans (as me) are totally in love for him! Queen is magnificent and FREDDIE MERCURY is extraterrestrial!!!! Songs? Under pressure, Onother one bite the dust, Don't stop me now, Play the game live at Montreal.... Welcome to the QUEEN experience! 👑❤️
Great reaction react to queen- under pressure Wembley 1986
They met at university and the lead guitarist,Brian May after 30 years has now finally become a PHD in astrophysics
Love this Queen reaction, You're so Nice to watch, the fact you are open to many genres of music. Queen was an amazing band, with a huge catalogue. 4 artists! I suggest Is this the world we created live at Wembley. Subbed and Much bless!
Queen - Show must go on
Still makes me 😭
Freddie was beloved by so many people. I remember when they announced that he had passed away in 1991 i cried so hard . He was a true legend and left one hell of a legacy. He is truly missed
If you listen closely you can here the audience sing all the sounds. 😊❤
Somebody to love live from montreal 1981, thank us later. Another one bites the dust official video and under pressure wembley 86 all have a similar feel to this!
It was a roasting day and this was the highlight . unforgettable .
It doesn't make any sense that there are some people who put a dislike on this legendary performance !!!
They don't seem to have an ear for music !!!
I think there reacting to him. The person reacting
"You take my breath away" Hyde Park 1976. Prepare to be blown away.
Under pressure death on two legs. killer queen March of the black queen. Innuindo. Livin on my own. . Breakthrough. Barcelona. The golden boy
just Freddy and Queen turning up late to a charity concert and entertaining 1.9 BILLION people around the world. situation normal for Freddy.
Nice reaction. Somebody To Love live at Montreal 1981, very popular performance.
🤝💯💯
Dragon attack, breakthru, who wants to live forever, bohemian rhapsody,somebody to love ..live
As Queen finished their part of this at least 2 other artist supposedly said "How the he** do I follow THAT?"
Was David Bowie and Elton John who said that.
Bowie was backstage as Queen performed. As they came off stage, Bowie walked up to them, looked at them, and said, "You BASTards!" Then they all laughed, hugged, and enjoyed the moment. Once Queen got back to their trailer, they heard someone pounding on the door. They opened it, and it was Elton, who merely said, "Thank you for f*cking it up for the rest of us!" whereupon, they all laughed, shook hands and hugged again. They all knew it was the greatest rock performance of all time.
Elton and davod called them bastards for steeling the show before them
@@lorenvictor6290 Robert Plant said it in Philidelphia. "We have to top that!" is what he said to Jimmy Page. I think Jimmy was too high to respond.
Won and earned my sub. Great video
There were no cellphones or mobile phones back then.
yeeeesss...the best part of these old concert vids.
Yep, if you lost someone in the crowd, that was it!
Yes. Went home many nights with a burn from holding a lighter up. The flame on the phone looks great but not the same. You can hold it up a lot longer however lol.
There were cell phones back then but they were as portable as bricks and usually found in limousines and super-high end cars.
@@nicholashylton6857 I was speaking things in general terms.
You have to be the happiest reactor I have seen so far! Most of the time when I watch this performance I cry the entire time. You have made me smile and I guarantee Freddie is too.
Doctor told him not to do this cause he had laryngitis but listen to him he nailed it best ever
I think he allowed the audience to sing a little more to ease the pressure on his throat.
I'm so glad you can grasp his / their talent at first sight!
Check out the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” their life story. Don’t forget this video was broadcasted live worldwide.
Somebody's to love ❤️
Another one bites the dust there was another song at the end of this concert, I love. It's called is this world we created. Another is innuendo
He is drinking water with honey for his throat. This was a multi-band concert. Set up for many bands
Freddie: Everyone knows I can't play the guitar. Brian: That's okay, I'll play ALL the guitars.... (3 different ones in this song)
Most probably the drink was tea with honey to soothe his throat. No beer. Freddie felt it was disrespectful to the audience if he burped while singing :) Great reaction
Freddie was camper than a field full of tents, lived life to the full and didn't give a shit.
Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe singing Barcelona will blow your mind. The range of his voice.
React to Queen One Vision , Queen Somebody to Love , and Queen Fat Bottom Girls. Cant go wrong with Queen.
He did Fat bottomed girls. That's the only other Queen he's done so far. But that was the official video. Great of course. But you haven't done it until you've done it live, Milton Keynes Bowl, 1982. :D
THE LP TITLED NEWS OF THE WORLD...’”TIEYOUR MOTHER DOWN,” GIVE ME ALL YOUR LOVE TONIGHT”
Freddy was outstanding. RIP 😊❤😢
Freddie Mercury - greatest r & r front man of all time. Brian May - built his guitar w/his dad as a teen, still rocks & PhD in Astrophysics. John Deacon - awesome bass player & electronic engineer. Roger Taylor the singing drummer, still rockin'. They all wrote #1 hit songs, and brought us songs in a multitude of genre's. Various forms of rock, folk, funk, thrash metal, ballads, blues, ... opera fusion. LOL! Be careful now, Freddie always said he was NOT "the leader" of the band. Very equal status. Check out more! Thanks!
Oh man...I remember this day SO vividly. It was a hot July day and I was a 12-year-old boy who should have been outside riding my bike, or playing with my dog or swimming in our pool, but NOPE!! I spent almost the entire day watching Live Aid and lamenting the fact that I was just a kid and not able to be in London with what appeared to be half the world. I will NEVER forget when Queen came on to do their set. It felt like a jolt of electricity came out of the television set, so I can only imagine what it must have been like in that stadium. This was years before TH-cam so I had never seen a live Queen performance. I had heard them on the radio, listened their records and watched their music videos, but I had NO idea of the massive power they brought to a concert stage. You have just witnessed the greatest 20 minutes in rock history. Awesome reaction, and I really appreciate that you give these legends the respect they deserve.
Sneak in something from their early days - Stone Cold Crazy/Live at the Rainbow. Edgy and striking contrast.
Previously subscribed because I really enjoy your appreciation of Queen’s music! Just watched this today, and so wonderful to witness your becoming a fan!! FYI - this is NOT a Queen audience, as they were not even on the publicized list. So they won ALL the audience over with their Legendary talent and music!! 😊
The reason Fred points his bum out is to his old manager to say kiss my ars. Listen to Death on Two Legs, which was written for the manager who ripped them off in their early years.
As far as his endurance, gotta remember he was also battling aids and prior to going on stage his doctor advised him not to perform so Freddie chugged 2 tall shots of vodka and did his thing. He is a legend..
