Freddie's famous quote "do what you want with my music. Just dont make it boring" inspired a lot of talented people like the struts to play the songs that inspire us
For years, those of us who discovered the Struts early have thought 'the Freddie is with this man' - now he covers this and it's goosebumps time. Damned uncanny.
@@patrickmooney7459 I've seen Foxy live twice and while I LOVE their albums, both times Eric was breathless, scattered and vocally weak and it kills me because I know how could he can be. On the other hand the times I've seen Luke, he's been perfect. Every time.
He's certainly been influenced by Freddie, but if you want to hear Freddie's voice again (or the closest thing to it) check out Marc Martel's videos. :)
I’m a pretty big Queen fan that always believed there was no singer good enough to cover one of their songs and do it justice. The first song I ever heard by the Struts was “kiss this” on the radio. Before the song was done I was like, alright, this that dude!
The first time I saw these guys back in November 2018, I had been a fan for only about three days. I was so new to their music that I didn’t know any of their songs or the lyrics, but it was an absolutely fantastic show. I’ve always thought that Luke is like the love child of Freddie Mercury and Dr Frank N Furter, and the Queen influence is undeniable with these guys. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing them cover Queen in the five times that I’ve seen them, but I would so love to. They totally nailed this cover, and I’m so glad that it exists. If anyone reading this is on the fence about seeing them live, this is your sign to go do it as soon as possible. Amazing band, and even more amazing shows.
this guy... the one guy that is one of the great personalities that measures against the greats... jagger, bowie, grohl, tyler, elton, roth... great showman, great entertainers, great voice.. gravitas...
I'm smiling'! What a treat. Ian Hunter mentioned 'Struts' singer doing Freddie and Queen justice with his singing and stage presence....searched and found this. Nice.
Feels like a 70's comeback,Greta van fleet,this guys,and a kid i use to be with he's crazy about Guns,Queen,Guns,Queen,Guns,Queen and the thunderstruck main riff.
I was at this show, in fact I was probably right behind the cameraman cause I had the most awesome spot right in front of Jed. 😍 This was one of the best shows I went to in 2019.
Luke Spiller is a cross between Tim curry from the Rocky Horror Picture show and Freddie Mercury thank God!!! Rock is still alive what a great flamboyant frontman Luke Spiller is a Rock ⭐!!!!
Wow nailed the solo sound as well as every blinkin other thing! Being old enough to have seen Freddy a few times I'm sure he'd have issued forth a 'bravo darling!' and perhaps redirected a cocaine backed dwarf in your direction!😆
Luke Spiller is so much more than a Freddie clone though... his range of pop is great and the band covers the musical styles of Dandy Warhols, Stereophonics or MUSE... great to see a new band taking the best of the past, mixing it all together, and giving us an energetic and musical performance in everything they do.

the struts are awesome. original queen would be proud
I swear if Freddie had a son...
What do you mean if, he has clearly sired at least one....
with Tim Curry...
So true
70's style
@@raychelmcguin Exactly XD
Luke is the entire package .. The best frontman vocalist to come around in 30+ years
True
I love Luke & the Struts, but anyone who has seen Foxy Shazam may have a different opinion.
Ahahahahahahahah

He's decent but Josh Kiska is way more of a better frontman
This is excellent! I never thought we’d have another Freddie & I am crying it’s so perfect!
My thoughts exactly..
I seen these guys in South Bend, Indiana and it was worth every penny they absolutely put in work to make it a good show. I mean that sweat is real!
Me too... 💕
He is not another Freddie, he is just Luke.
He's certainly been influenced by Freddie, but if you want to hear Freddie's voice again (or the closest thing to it) check out Marc Martel's videos. :)
This guy should have the queen gig. Looks like him too. 70's Freddie
I agree
He’d rather make his own way.
I have fallen in love with this band!! Luke is the best and most entertaining frontman!
I'm digging these guys ! I'm 69 .
Ha, I’m 61 sitting here thinking dam I want to go to their concert.
ME TOO !!!
Went for a drink with Luke the other day. Know him through a mutual hobby. Lives just a couple of miles from me. Really nice quiet guy off stage.
Me too and I'm a 63 year old Grannie ❤

Absolutely but The Struts are more like The New York Dolls than anything
Freddie is reborn. FANTASTIC BAND.

Love the Dr Frank N Furter reference along w Freddie
I agree on all counts! And they are fantastic live!!!
Faithful cover and they had fun with it. These guys are a blast to watch. Luke embodies the presence of the very best 60s, 70s and 80s frontmen.
Wow! Mind blown. Freddy would be proud! Kick ass man!
Hi, I love you and Jesus does too! Try giving God a chance (if you haven’t), you won’t regret it! God bless you!
this band never fails to kill it every time
They are such a fantastic and talented bunch of lads, wish more people would hear them.
His voice just fills up the room. Very can do this. And that goes for any era/generation.
Fantastic cover Freddie like it❤️
What a great vocal range!!! 😎🤘
The Struts are EVERYTHING!!!!! I love them so much!!!!
I LOVE THIS VOICE!!
When you look so much like Freddie Mercury that your face is shaped the same way
Freddie is smiling
I'm in love with The Struts.
Don't stop they ever!
The return of the authentic front man. Holy crap, he is superb
Absolutely magical....any thumbs down forget you, you don’t know squat
I think Freddie would approve. 😊
OMG Freddies back, alive and kicking
this guy... the one guy that is one of the great personalities that measures against the greats... jagger, bowie, grohl, tyler, elton, roth... great showman, great entertainers, great voice.. gravitas...
WoWWWWWWWW! I LOVE this guy!!!😍💓💓💓
Im so giddy watching this, love this song and The Struts.
Best Queen song ever, and well done Luke doing it justice
I just found them. So much like Freddie! I can’t get enough of them.
I really didn't think I'd like this ... as a matter of fact I didn't want to like it either but wow ... impressive & exceptionally well done !
Luke can channel the persona of so many artists, in voice and actions.
I'm surprised they haven't covered Queen until 4 years ago since the band is right up there alley, well done and hope to hear more Queen covers!
Nice discovery...what a freaking awesome band
Awesome! One of my favorite bands covering one of my other favorite bands with one of my favorite songs of theirs. PERFECTION!
He's like the wonderful love child of Freddy and Tim Curry! Going to see them in Charleston in May!
as others have said, thanks Robbie for introducing me to this band
That’s why I’m here too
I'm smiling'! What a treat. Ian Hunter mentioned 'Struts' singer doing Freddie and Queen justice with his singing and stage presence....searched and found this. Nice.
My first time hearing this... Having a good time! ❤❤❤❤
Feels like a 70's comeback,Greta van fleet,this guys,and a kid i use to be with he's crazy about Guns,Queen,Guns,Queen,Guns,Queen and the thunderstruck main riff.
I love this song, Honduras here
Just good music. Angelic. God gave us Freddie.
Perfect lovely audience!
And he plays piano, surely Freddie spirit😮😮
I was at this show, in fact I was probably right behind the cameraman cause I had the most awesome spot right in front of Jed. 😍 This was one of the best shows I went to in 2019.
Talent right before your eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And why is this guy not singing for Queen?!
What the Fuck! He is Awesome 👏 Brian and Roger are you watching this!!
Can’t wait to see these guys on the Rock Boat ( music cruise ) in 2024
Queen. A phenomena.
Love them. Queen. Inxs. And now YOU.
What a speech. Damn
Freddie Mercury and Tim Curry's kid is awesome!!!
Luke is so charismatic and cute. Amazing stage presence and what a Showman.
LOVE THE STRUTS!!!
This is so good.
I love this Great and amazing tribute To For me the Best singer In human history Freddie Mercury
Why he wasn't the star of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the new lead singer of Queen is an absolaute mystery. I mean come on world!
Acting is why.
Even his body language is......Freddie.....awesome!!
I love the guys. 💘
Amazing
Great Luke!!! Carry the torch
Luke Spiller is a cross between Tim curry from the Rocky Horror Picture show and Freddie Mercury thank God!!! Rock is still alive what a great flamboyant frontman Luke Spiller is a Rock ⭐!!!!
These guys are good. How is it ive never heard of them.
GREAT GREAT GREAT!
Thanks!
2:03 is when it starts
Love it.
Maravilloso!!
LOVE THEM!!!
Tim Curry sings Queen 👌
😊Love the Struts
Houston!
Ya baby!!!
I would've died at the spot. Amazing.
Awesome ❤
Wow nailed the solo sound as well as every blinkin other thing! Being old enough to have seen Freddy a few times I'm sure he'd have issued forth a 'bravo darling!' and perhaps redirected a cocaine backed dwarf in your direction!😆
He is good, but the comparision lacks sense, cause his voice is a lot different to that of Freddie - good thing is, he doesn't try to sound like him.
This is the good stuff.
I LIKE IT‼️
The best copy one!
why does adam look like he's on the verge of tears ahaha
good band ...good luck..
And why did Queen team up with Roger instead of this guy??? Bravo!
Dump Adam Lambert and replace the shows with Queen + Luke Spiller & The Struts for sure.
queen did what
Dude loves the sound of his own speaking.....
Luke Spiller is so much more than a Freddie clone though... his range of pop is great and the band covers the musical styles of Dandy Warhols, Stereophonics or MUSE... great to see a new band taking the best of the past, mixing it all together, and giving us an energetic and musical performance in everything they do.
Brillante lo de esta Banda Gran cover de Queen
not hate you love you gone with it
good struts
Your daddy would be proud Freddy junior.
Wpw😢🎉
Saw this tour at the Warfield , it was perfection... but they didn't do this one
And... nobody filmed with their cam/phones... and i mean nobody!
I swear he's Freddie reincarnated! These guys are awesome!
I dunno, though, cause Luke's always had some Bowie and Jagger in him, too.
Yeah, as close to Freddy as I've ever seen or heard. He's so damn good !
What about Marc Martel
Luke Spiller or Marc Martel should have portrayed Freddie Mercury in the film Bohemian Rhapsody, not Malek.
He has kinda the same mouth structure as Freddie,right,his facial features look so similar
IL LUPO SI È PERSO.
