Reinhold Mack was the German producer of many of their songs. They were like family. He didn’t mind John being in the booth. He loved it! Mack's third son, John Frederick Mack, was named by Freddie and was a godson of both Freddie and John!
Indeed. 🙂 I am sure they all got along but loved how the camera was picking up certain cues for a Non Queen fan as such. Because I wouldn't known all this before hand. Thus I have no bias. What you guys got was a real deal, raw honest commentary from me.
The reason John was in the booth was because they would record bass two ways. 1 through the booth directly into the desk, then second from a mic'd up amplifier in the room.
Of course Roger 's patient with Freddie 's perfectionism. He's remembering all those endless Galileos & how that worked out. Did you know that Freddie was also called The Human Metronome. ?. His friend Montserrat said the music is in him.
You saw how they had fun along with Freddie being a perfectionist. He was listening so closely to those drum sounds and wanted them perfect. Roger went along nicely with it because he knew in the Freddie would be right. Roger and Brian both in other documentaries stated what a genius of a musician Freddie was.
100% correct. Freedie with those drum beats! There isn't a sound today like that. If some hip-hop artists were to mimic those beats. It would be a success.
It’s not like that I the finished song! I think roger was holding his tongue on the camera. 4 cymbal smashes immediately after releases his frustration. ❤️😀
Awesome Reaction. Yes Brian used a sixpence, lately he tries to play with his Fingers he said. 29:52 ''One Dump, One Turd, Two Tits, John Deacon'' Freddie out here freestylin' 😂 This is a big meme.
If someone is playing an electric keyboard, you can be sure it is NOT Freddie. He hated the electronic Wurliizer they had in their studio and would always play on the Grand piano (it accompanied them on tour). “I refused to play that damn thing,” Mercury said of the electric piano. “It’s tiny and horrible and I don’t like them. Why play those when you have a lovely superb piano?"
Not much to be said that hasn't already been said. You're reaction to this was priceless. I have been loving all your reactions to Queen. They are real and honest and that makes them great. I am always looking for your reactions so I finally subscribed and hit the notification bell. Thank you
Thank you 🙏. Appreciate your support and also your consideration in dropping a comment and finally deciding to subscribe 😁 (but don't know what took u so long - lol). Yes I do all of them unscripted and come from a perspective you may have otherwise not heard. Disclaimer, I do cover urban music like hip-hop here too and venture out into other realms. So please don't be too alarmed. Queen have definitely been a great platform for me to demonstrate my appreciation for music and their genius to real fans that appreciated them. I applaud you all. 👑
Brian is ALWAYS giving him side eye!! Roger just let Freddie be Freddie, but makes sly comments, but in jest. They clash! But .. he almost drove off a bridge when Freddie died. It def affected John Deacon (Deaky) the most though. He was GONE
Fantastic reaction! You are the first person who has watched this documentary, who noticed that Brian left because he was mad and, and that the band was probably going to fight behind the scenes, not in from of the cameras. It is only people who are Queens fans who know this because it has been discussed and noticed over the years. Brain and Freddie often clashed, they were often at the opposite ends of opinions. Although it was actually Brian and Roger who were fighting the most out of them all, but also got along at the same time. Generally, it was Freddie and Roger who got along the best. Freddie also worked well with John.
I can’t. How do you know they were going out to fight? I mean, it’s common knowledge that they argued at times, but with all due respect, how do you jump to this conclusion?
@@maelcaha5111 Yes, they fighted a lot. Brian could get very head strong when someone tried to interfere with his guitar parts, there was about of fights about this in the 80's. And as Hap3 mentioned, they all just basically suddenly stormed off, without saying much. There were definitely big fights at the time. Maybe it is jumping to a conclusion, but this is how the topic has been discussed in the general fandom for ages.
It's open to interpretation that's all. But you will have to re-watch it. I'm certain Brian was not overly happy with how Freddie was talking to him in that moment. You can just feel it. In some of their music I have felt a battle between them. But that could be the instruments just talking. Also appreciate the comment Zenobia. 💜
@@ZENOBlAmusic Another fav video of mine is Freddie talking about writing and producing 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love"....said he had to hurry and finish - if Brian got to weigh in before it was done, the piece would lose the simplicity Freddie seriously wanted.
All four were not only songwriters but to some extent multi instrumentalists. Oh and Brian used/uses an old sixpenny piece. The producer btw was Reinhold Mack, John and Freddie were godfathers to one of his sons Frederick John.
Hi Christine, yes I think in another reaction I did. Somebody already had mentioned the connection and who the producer was. Yes, these 4 are/were great musicians that sought out perfection in music.
You're so totally welcome! I got more to do but thus far everything has been a blast!! 💥 Got to give much respect to Queen with that they did musical. That's for sure.
The song was already in Freddie's mind when it wasn't even done. He kindly persuaded the others to play the way he wanted. They took word for him because they knew it could only be good what he had dreamed of. I love them!
Your reaction is both hilarious and thoughtful! "Tomfoolery"!!! Loved this documentary; hadn't seen this before in its entirety. Glad I found your channel!✌✌✌
Appreciate you Diane🙏. And with being honest, this channel does cover all sorts of things. Including hip-hop and urban music. So please be patient. 1st time reactions are done in 1 take, no script, no expectations. Please do check the playlist and dates of the videos published. You will be able to see how I delved into Queen further and started to enjoy their music a lot more. Thank you.
Ty for sharing this video the first time I saw it 😊..there's four man egos become one equal in beautiful harmony for music and the songs they create are hard and sweet endeavors, they deserve to receive the title of legend in music history, even up to 4 decades their music continues to live for generations, I personally feel the happiness of each while listening to their song ... Salute to Queen (Freddie, Jhon, Roger, Brian) 🍷🍷🍷🍷
Absolutely right, their friendship are unique.sometimes quarreling and then they say jokes to each other, sometimes silly (Freddy say on video :one dumb,one thurd,two ti**s Jhon deacon!) and Jhon still relaxed with smooth smile 😆😆..but fun and it works out
Another great reaction. You missed catching Freddie sing "two tits, John Deacon" and then seeing John smiling about it right after. You've just touched the tip of the Queen iceberg. Enjoy, enjoy.
Queen wore a complicated musical marriage later on in there years together by the 1980s, etc.. they had Studio a b c d, etc.. not all of them would work together all of the time. Usually the way they did their recordings, the band member said that they would either have the bass drums & vocals/piano OR they would have lead guitar drums and vocals. That's why John Deacon was sitting out there with Mack. It wasn't that they forgot him it's just that when they recorded songs that's the way they did it. I love the making of this song and the documentary.
They sometimes started in the afternoon or evening and would work until morning. Breaking up a bit with a little fun along with being tired and hungry. Freddie was going down a Chinese menu and they decided to keep the fried chicken, because, well, why not?
HAP : Jim Hutton, Freddie's common law husband for the last 6yrs of Freddie's life, actually suggested they keep "fried chicken" at the end as he wrote in his book "Mercury & Me", a fabulous read all about their years together... they were so happy with each other. After joking around about the fried chicken, Jim suggested they leave it in because it was funny & typical of their outrageousness.!! The band loved Jim (as per Peter Freestone & Roger & Brian have stated. Freddie said he had never been so happy as he was with Jim living at Garden Lodge. Jim was a "Gentleman's barber "at a very classy hotel & never knew who Freddie was until after he pursued Jim over 2 years. The book is so heartwarming, Jim was the antithesis of Queen & fame & rock & roll, & the band said he was just what Freddie needed... a sincere, loving sweet yet strong man. & no pushover ...who had never been to a live concert of anyone !!When Fred asked him to move in to Garden Lodge, Jim eventually agreed & insisted only if Freddie would allow him to do all the gardening so he felt he was contributing something. He built furniture for several rooms there, they would argue now & then but they always made up quickly with little love notes or flowers. When Freddie found out he had aids & told Jim , he told him he would understand if he left for safety reasons. Jim said to him "I Love you Freddie & I'm not going anywhere, Ill be right herewith you always"... wouldnt we all love to be loved that much. Freddie died years later in Jim's arms. Jim lived til 2010 & died of lung cancer. He had tested positive for HIV after Freddie died yet never contracted AIDS.
I knew you would enjoy that. You have been dead on on several of your observations, for sure. You would also really enjoy any of the videos with Roger and Brian commenting and narrating the performances. I will include a couple links but you really can't go wrong with any of them. I just discovered these and have been binge watching them. lol Keep yourself alive montreal 1981 th-cam.com/video/GpuMwezOTr8/w-d-xo.html dragon attack You did this reaction but interesting to see how their take matches up with yours th-cam.com/video/qSm87pZaUbI/w-d-xo.html Another quality reaction!!
Thank you! Well I have to get around watching these but I have not done the song Keep Yourself Alive reaction yet. So perhaps in due course. Cheers for your commentary and specific comment relating to the nuances noticed during the reaction. 🙏
Woaw this is the first documentery-react I’v have seen. I have seen this many times but not with a reacter, you are a great guy, and ovesly now what you talking about......amazing marveles Queen and Freddie.....lol
I just love your reactions. You should definitely react to A Winter's Tale. It's Freddie's last song written. He composed it and he sang it in the last few months of his life. It's incredible what Freddie did there, but also heartbreaking. Also the solo guitar there is amazing.
Thanks for your comment....but whooa too much information haha. Well, I will try and keep this suggestion at the end. I am trying to go through the songs with a little sense in some form of time line. Luckily it's worked out, you can see the date stamps on my Queen reaction videos to verify this journey. 🙂 Buckle in. Oh on a side note, this channel does cover other reactions outside of Queen too. 💜
Great seeing the creative masters at work. Instruments or vocals leaking onto other tracks I've heard being referred to as bleeding but don't know if that's the official term. After Freddie us talking about videos & wanting the audience to make up their own images when it goes back to the studio, Freddie's partner Jim Hutton is on the left.
John didn't join in their bickering. Brian said that once they looked up and there was a note where John usually stood saying he'd be back in two weeks, he needed a holiday.
Hello Fella from the UK & thanks for the reaction Vids. I've been a fan of Queen for 50+ years & have listened to most if not all of their songs. Although Bohemian Rhapsody will go down in history, they left the best till last, that being "Mother Love". It never fails to bring a tear to my eye not only because of the sadness surrounding Freddies illness but the fact he never came back to finish the track, hence Brian had to sing the last verse. Once again thank you for reliving the memories.
Absolutely welcome BigMallly. Thank you the song you mentioned, I'll archive that in. I'm glad you found some solace and were able to smile during my reaction. I appreciate that. I'm sure when Queen were releasing these hits, everyone must have been hyped. What an era to have been in. I hope my channel can cover music as epic as Queen created. I have been guided by fans with suggestions and comments. I am yet to hear and do any background work on Queen. Perhaps there is beauty in ignorance haha. Do take care.
@@HAP3SPEAKZ Thanks for your kind comment. The 70's were an awesome time to be a teenager growing up through the Glam Rock years. To be honest at that time Slade were my band...........anyways less of the nostalga & you stay safe.
You should check out QUEEN live at Wembley One Vision 1986!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ if you think the video is awesome and this documentary is awesome you haven't seen anything until you see the song live.!! Freddie Mercury put on one hell of a show, and each member does their thing to perfection. I watch it all the time and never Tire of it because that concert was epic!!! Also Brian May first learn how to play the piano before he ever learned how to play guitar. Rodger Taylor doesn't just play the drums but he also plays guitar. Freddie Mercury plays guitar and piano and then John learn how to play the electric piano. Brian also plays the electric piano at the very beginning of the song.. it may have been synthesizers. It's just that Brian was playing that part before anyone started singing.
I ALWAYS learn something from your explanations/details you point out! I just suggested the documentary cuz I thought you would enjoy it, yourself. Because you seem to really enjoy/are knowledgeable about the "technical side" (I don't think that's quite the term I'm looking for?) of music-making. (It's 3 a.m. when I'm typing this, maybe that's why I'm vocab deficient!) .....Thank you for making me LAUGH, BTW!💕
oh yeah! that time in munich, germany (aka. "münchen, deutschland"). the taxes in britain got so high that the band moved to germany so that they can still live from their income! not long ago, maybe last year?!, the munich-flat of freddie mercury was sold! as munich is very expensive, the 130m²-flat was sold for over 2 million euros! a flat - not a house! when the taxes went down and where low again, the band returned to england - all, but freddie! shortly after that they build a studio in montreal, switzerland. been there - very nice place! and to poor john: he was always like "i have no idea, why i am in this band..." ... but still one of the best players ever!
Brian started with piano. If you dont know about Brians guitar, you should look it up .. the red one. He and his dad built it. Its SOOO unique. Freddie can be snippy and controlling in the studio 😂
HAP3SPEAKZ I’m a new sub, so I’m probably down on the list of requests, But “Was it all Worth it” is a fabulous song.....it was done, like I want it all, during Freddie’s battle with HIV, lyrics, harmonies, production is fabulous, not well known, but most Queen fanatics know it well. By the way, John (Deaky) Deacon, could not sing, but he could write songs, Another One Bites the dust, Now I’m here, Under Pressure , Your my best Friend, (for his wife Veronica) and created the Vox Deaky Amp, which helped Brian’s red special scream
Freddie was good at making things work if things were getting stressed his personality and sense of humour defused things but was very professional and pushed them to the best
Deaky was meant to be in with Mac. They would often record each instrument in different ways. Sometimes ambient sound, sometimes amplified, sometimes straight to tape. Often times multiple ways for different layers of sound.
Yes. I have been in a studio before. I don't think he actually recorded there though. He would have eventually gone out into the recording room/booth. Even though he was there with Mack, I liked their energy. Bass is sometimes added after the song i.e before completion. Depends. In this instance the way the documentary is edited is funny. Thus my comments are just thoughts. Nothing scripted. I liked the way the camera moved around with them both. Otherwise this "reaction" to the One Vision Documentary would have just been me staring at a screen and you guys looking at my face without any commentary and quite frankly that is boring. I wanted to bring the humor from the One Vision song into this One Vision documentary and continue with that same energy.
I would suggest You review "Find me somebody to Love" - Must be Montreal 1981 - Live. It is incredible! (You are now listening and watching a live rehearsal session in the studio for the creation of "One Vision".) Thank you.
Freddie gave an interview in Australia when he was promoting his album and when the guy asked about Brian Freddie said "well, we haven't killed each other yet--but there's still time." They argued alot.
Check out One by One, Only the good dye young and Too much Love can Kill you. Both Brian May songs and break your heart. Brian uses an old six pence to play his guitar. They always argued in the studeo, it got their creative juices going.
Keep thinking. What would beggining. . I'm mean one vision documentary and ending says something by playing it backward. Chicken feet or fried chicken . Don't mind me , just a crazy thought
I get the impression brian wasn't the easiest to work with! He was so focused on him and not how it all works together Their roadie said Brian's leadoften got tangled in Freddie because he was lost in his own world Roger and Freddie needed to try and tell him here he needed to change what he was doing
@@HAP3SPEAKZ I agree he clearly had issues,but it would have been hard going, you need to see yourself as and work as part of a group not stubbornly on your own
Second time interrupting a queen reaction but could you possibly react to pentatonix song No a cover of Megan Trainor please. It's 2016 I think so it shouldn't get copyright blocked. It's my personal anthem.
![FIRST TIME LISTENING TO QUEEN - ONE VISION [FIRST TIME REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
Reinhold Mack was the German producer of many of their songs. They were like family. He didn’t mind John being in the booth. He loved it! Mack's third son, John Frederick Mack, was named by Freddie and was a godson of both Freddie and John!

Thanx, I luv little tidbits of info about the boys!!
The reason John was in the booth was because they would record bass two ways. 1 through the booth directly into the desk, then second from a mic'd up amplifier in the room.
@@HAP3SPEAKZ ik het
Of course Roger 's patient with Freddie 's perfectionism. He's remembering all those endless Galileos & how that worked out. Did you know that Freddie was also called The Human Metronome. ?. His friend Montserrat said the music is in him.

100% correct. Freedie with those drum beats! There isn't a sound today like that. If some hip-hop artists were to mimic those beats. It would be a success.
It’s not like that I the finished song! I think roger was holding his tongue on the camera. 4 cymbal smashes immediately after releases his frustration. ❤️😀
This is fabulous video. Freddie is a musical genius. Period. Love your reaction. Thank you for the video.
Awesome Reaction. Yes Brian used a sixpence, lately he tries to play with his Fingers he said. 29:52 ''One Dump, One Turd, Two Tits, John Deacon'' Freddie out here freestylin' 😂 This is a big meme.
Queen = full of surprises. 🤯
😂😂😂 nice meme… Brian always downplays his own genius. It kills me.
Ive seen this numerous times. Im enjoying it more cuz of you! Roger ALWAYS just does it. Brian gets pissed!
I love this video!
I have always wondered if Freddie was just talking about the band when he sang Two Tits, John Deacon! 😅😅
I LOVE watching their process .. and yup, they bicker!!!!
“ok let’s do it”
“WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWYEAH”
lol
I love this documentary. I love how they are so serious and then can switch it up and have a blast in the studio. Geniuses at work!
100% !!!!! AGREE! 💯
(COPYRIGHTED HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Loved the part where Roger said “that rotter Freddie changed all my lyrics”. Makes me wonder what they were originally. Great reaction.
Everything tongue and cheek. 😂 That part was funny. Just say it how it is.
It’s your vision, it’s your channel, do what you like and those of us who like what you do will stay. I think you do a great job!
Joe
Freddie's voice was an instrument.....
🎤 amazing how he could just turn it on at a moments notice. A lot of vocalists spend time warming up their vocal chords. Amazing singer.
The best instrument actually ...
The four of them fit together
Like a puzzle.
It's time you heard Queen "I want it All". It's gritty & shows how much Freddie can make his voice however he wants. Brian, John & Roger are awesome!
Amazing. Thanks for that suggestion. It has been archived. 🎤 Looking forward to that vocal range. 🎶
If someone is playing an electric keyboard, you can be sure it is NOT Freddie. He hated the electronic Wurliizer they had in their studio and would always play on the Grand piano (it accompanied them on tour).
“I refused to play that damn thing,” Mercury said of the electric piano. “It’s tiny and horrible and I don’t like them. Why play those when you have a lovely superb piano?"
Marvelous!!! 🎹 The grand piano certainly suits them way better. Perhaps the electronic sound was to engage a younger crowd in the 80's. Which was all the craze then.

John and Mack were very good friends in real life. I personally think they were finding the cameras in the recording studio awkward not each other
Yes!
I'm sure they are. I was just giving commentary to entertain myself with these great musicians who I sincerely appreciate. 🙂

Luckily it's worked out, you can see the date stamps on my Queen reaction videos to verify this journey. 🙂 Buckle in. Oh on a side note, this channel does cover other reactions outside of Queen too. 💜
Nobody commented, we were all watching! Love your reaction!
Very kind Adina. Thank you.💜🎶🎤🎸🥁
Freddie drinking only champagne 🥂
You have made 16 people very happy!
🤯
Is Hap ready for Cool Cat? Melancholy Blues? Dreamers ball? Not to mention Barcelona , or The Golden boy!!
We`ll have to leave to a vote I guess.
And Impromptu from Wembly 1986, often overlooked but pretty amazing
Wow, we are getting a reaction, we're getting educated and humor!!!! Love it
You think so?? 😂😂
@@HAP3SPEAKZ

Thank you. 🙏 .... very kind.
And I'm humbled.

He does say fried chicken 😂😂😂 it was a DARE 😂😂😂
I love your channel and your passion Thank you for sharing
Thank you 🤗
Great seeing the creative masters at work. Instruments or vocals leaking onto other tracks I've heard being referred to as bleeding but don't know if that's the official term. After Freddie us talking about videos & wanting the audience to make up their own images when it goes back to the studio, Freddie's partner Jim Hutton is on the left.
John didn't join in their bickering. Brian said that once they looked up and there was a note where John usually stood saying he'd be back in two weeks, he needed a holiday.
Hello Fella from the UK & thanks for the reaction Vids. I've been a fan of Queen for 50+ years & have listened to most if not all of their songs. Although Bohemian Rhapsody will go down in history, they left the best till last, that being "Mother Love". It never fails to bring a tear to my eye not only because of the sadness surrounding Freddies illness but the fact he never came back to finish the track, hence Brian had to sing the last verse. Once again thank you for reliving the memories.
Absolutely welcome BigMallly. Thank you the song you mentioned, I'll archive that in. I'm glad you found some solace and were able to smile during my reaction. I appreciate that. I'm sure when Queen were releasing these hits, everyone must have been hyped. What an era to have been in. I hope my channel can cover music as epic as Queen created. I have been guided by fans with suggestions and comments. I am yet to hear and do any background work on Queen. Perhaps there is beauty in ignorance haha. Do take care.
@@HAP3SPEAKZ Thanks for your kind comment. The 70's were an awesome time to be a teenager growing up through the Glam Rock years. To be honest at that time Slade were my band...........anyways less of the nostalga & you stay safe.
This was a joy to watch with your perspectives and humour. Thank you :)
Thank you for appreciating them. 💜🎶

You should check out QUEEN live at Wembley One Vision 1986!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ if you think the video is awesome and this documentary is awesome you haven't seen anything until you see the song live.!! Freddie Mercury put on one hell of a show, and each member does their thing to perfection. I watch it all the time and never Tire of it because that concert was epic!!! Also Brian May first learn how to play the piano before he ever learned how to play guitar. Rodger Taylor doesn't just play the drums but he also plays guitar. Freddie Mercury plays guitar and piano and then John learn how to play the electric piano.
Brian also plays the electric piano at the very beginning of the song.. it may have been synthesizers. It's just that Brian was playing that part before anyone started singing.
Amazing musicians!!! Thank you so much for your insightful comment too! I'll be sure to check out that version. 💜👑

Ah, yes, the masters at work. This is how it's done, chicken feet and all. 🐔🦶😄
Fried Chicken please... 🙂
@@HAP3SPEAKZ I highly recommend the 1977 "News of the World" Queen tour documentary for great behind the scenes stuff. No reaction video necessary. 😊👍
Oh again, I won't be watching any documentaries just yet. 🙂 One Vision Documentary was just a One off. Excuse the pun.
So much more fun watching it with someone else. I've seen this a few times already but loved your reaction.
I ALWAYS learn something from your explanations/details you point out!
I just suggested the documentary cuz I thought you would enjoy it, yourself. Because you seem to really enjoy/are knowledgeable about the "technical side" (I don't think that's quite the term I'm looking for?) of music-making. (It's 3 a.m. when I'm typing this, maybe that's why I'm vocab deficient!)
.....Thank you for making me LAUGH, BTW!💕
Thanks Marcella. It's great to know you smiled too. 🙂

You heard it right, but you missed what he said after turd and beforeJohn Deacon 😂😂😂😂😂
1st time reaction.... the last thing I want to do is give a platform for such tomfoolery. 😉😂
All for of those individual guys were meant to be The Legends that they are❣️❣️ Queen❣️👑👑👑😇👑🎵
They are IMO
Love hearing your insights..
Appreciate you Ridzuan! 🙏
@@HAP3SPEAKZ You deserve more subscribers mate. That's why I've also shared your reaction to the Queen official group on FB :)
🤯 that's unexpected. Thank you. 👍🏽🎶💯
oh yeah! that time in munich, germany (aka. "münchen, deutschland"). the taxes in britain got so high that the band moved to germany so that they can still live from their income! not long ago, maybe last year?!, the munich-flat of freddie mercury was sold! as munich is very expensive, the 130m²-flat was sold for over 2 million euros! a flat - not a house! when the taxes went down and where low again, the band returned to england - all, but freddie! shortly after that they build a studio in montreal, switzerland. been there - very nice place! and to poor john: he was always like "i have no idea, why i am in this band..." ... but still one of the best players ever!
Wow John.... you're the first person to have ever said this in the comments. How do you know all this?

@@HAP3SPEAKZ do you mean something specific? i am from germany and have been a queen-fan since i was 6 - and that's over 30 years ago :)
Ohh so you know about the real estate well then. That's good. I don't understand why they had to live from their income.. when they were a world wide success.

The piece where you wanted to know what Freddie was singing was:
"One dump"
"One turd"
"Two tits"
"John Deacon"
Thrown off completely 🙂
John is determining his chords to Brian’s piano which would be done on guitar
Thanks for clarifying Jeannine. 👑

Brian started with piano. If you dont know about Brians guitar, you should look it up .. the red one. He and his dad built it. Its SOOO unique. Freddie can be snippy and controlling in the studio 😂
They say it all the time, .. they are FOUR very different people!
Freddie was a perfectionist
Brian & Freddie fought a lot, but loved each other like brothers
They made great music as a result.
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
They acted like typical number one and two brothers
All families fight
@@Sandy-dt2mp they do INDEED
Haha 😄 amazing 👏
Yes, it’s 1985, before the Magic Tour which went all over Europe and finished in Britain in July 1986
Thank you making that clear Jeannine.

HAP3SPEAKZ I’m a new sub, so I’m probably down on the list of requests, But “Was it all Worth it” is a fabulous song.....it was done, like I want it all, during Freddie’s battle with HIV, lyrics, harmonies, production is fabulous, not well known, but most Queen fanatics know it well. By the way, John (Deaky) Deacon, could not sing, but he could write songs, Another One Bites the dust, Now I’m here, Under Pressure , Your my best Friend, (for his wife Veronica) and created the Vox Deaky Amp, which helped Brian’s red special scream
Sure everyone one is on the list. However, I am trying to keep it fair or try not to mention the same person twice. It's hard to do actually. Thank you for your suggestion. I'm doing best for what I co do right now. This channel is quite diverse and I do other genres that are requested. Thank you for your message. 💜

August , not July
Your reaction was Awesome!
Freddie was good at making things work if things were getting stressed his personality and sense of humour defused things but was very professional and pushed them to the best
Deaky was meant to be in with Mac. They would often record each instrument in different ways. Sometimes ambient sound, sometimes amplified, sometimes straight to tape. Often times multiple ways for different layers of sound.
Thank you!
Yes. I have been in a studio before. I don't think he actually recorded there though. He would have eventually gone out into the recording room/booth. Even though he was there with Mack, I liked their energy. Bass is sometimes added after the song i.e before completion. Depends. In this instance the way the documentary is edited is funny.
Thus my comments are just thoughts. Nothing scripted. I liked the way the camera moved around with them both. Otherwise this "reaction" to the One Vision Documentary would have just been me staring at a screen and you guys looking at my face without any commentary and quite frankly that is boring. I wanted to bring the humor from the One Vision song into this One Vision documentary and continue with that same energy.
They are just messing about with the turd remark. They are having fun.
I would suggest You review "Find me somebody to Love" - Must be Montreal 1981 - Live. It is incredible! (You are now listening and watching a live rehearsal session in the studio for the creation of "One Vision".) Thank you.
Great reaction!
Glad to have you here. 🥁
Freddie gave an interview in Australia when he was promoting his album and when the guy asked about Brian Freddie said "well, we haven't killed each other yet--but there's still time." They argued alot.
On the left you got Jim Hutton Standing next to Freddy
Please do Let us cling together (teo torriate) written for JAPANESE fans who sang it in both Japanese and English with Freddie.
Ok NAN. Thank you. I got it archived.

Love it! ❤️❤️❤️
Rare Brian and Freddie duet 'To Much Love Will Kill You '.
Check out One by One, Only the good dye young and Too much Love can Kill you. Both Brian May songs and break your heart. Brian uses an old six pence to play his guitar. They always argued in the studeo, it got their creative juices going.
Notice how Freddie and John change shirts during the end.
They love champagne
Im pretty sure he was roasting john deacon when he was messing around
It's all good fun. Just saw the humor with it from the Fried Chicken reference.
I love watching them play of course it didn't go on the song !
Keep thinking. What would beggining. . I'm mean one vision documentary and ending says something by playing it backward. Chicken feet or fried chicken . Don't mind me , just a crazy thought
Hmm I think the Fried chicken remark was just made up on the spot as they were hungry. 👑🎶

Roger will crack ya up at times 😂
When hes not on stage, hes almost dorky looking 😂
Hi. This was a great reaction. Have you heard of the music group the Carpenters? Please do Superstar. Karen had a velvety voice
Thanks Bookwoman53! Yes I have heard of them.... and one particular famous song. I got your suggestion down. 🙂

Its crazy to see how these classics were born. I love it. Freddie is so gay 😂
he was zaraostrian, an old persian religion, where he was from
Yeah I'd be like lad I've been here for hours and you want more come on
Loved it!
A little Tomfoolery. Lol.
Not a penny it’s 6pence
6D old English currency, predecimal
Fun!!!
Thank you 🙏👑💜
But .. put him on the stage in front of an audience and hes a HOT a** STAR!! Yes, he said John Deacon
He's just messin' around at the end
У Димаша 3 новые песни. Сделайте пожалуйста реакции. Очень жду))
Does GOD move in mysterious ways, or does he just walk normally like everyone else?
I get the impression brian wasn't the easiest to work with!
He was so focused on him and not how it all works together
Their roadie said Brian's leadoften got tangled in Freddie because he was lost in his own world
Roger and Freddie needed to try and tell him here he needed to change what he was doing
He may have had a lot of personal issues going on. Which led to some great songs too.
@@HAP3SPEAKZ
I agree he clearly had issues,but it would have been hard going, you need to see yourself as and work as part of a group not stubbornly on your own
HE SAYS (CHICKEN FEED BABE)
I like your babbling. You notice stuff that a lot of people just dont and you wanna share it. Im talking to you .. lol
Hes literally like 3 different people 😂
But ... Never seen him drunk or out of control
ONLY FREDDIE
RIP 🙏
Second time interrupting a queen reaction but could you possibly react to pentatonix song No a cover of Megan Trainor please. It's 2016 I think so it shouldn't get copyright blocked. It's my personal anthem.
