@@AnitaSquirrell An existence that graced us all with beauty and unmitigated talent is an existence to be proud of regardless of how hard and sad it was. A person with true struggles are often benefited greatly from such tribulations.
Yeah I know they're a great group of fun guys but yeah... They were pretty disrespectful I think mostly because they just don't know what they were listening to 🤷 the man in the black hoodie seemed genuinely interested but trying to have fun with his friends at the same time. They'll get it one day ❤️
This isn’t that musical genius, queen has other projects which were better than bohemian rhapsody but don’t have much popularity, bohemian rhapsody isn’t the first song to have over 3 genres
I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes of the song. Too much pausing. All I heard in the first 5 minutes was criticism of the band. I'll still watch your videos though, this one just sucked.
Rule of thumb guys, always listen to something all the way through first if you're not getting the vibe. You missed out on a lot of this masterpiece. It's cool you're having fun and all, just sometimes show the respect to the artist. All of these men are college graduates. The guitarist Brian May is a Doctor of Astrophysics and works with NASA when he's not touring the world... yes, Queen is still rocking. Freddy Mercury is no longer with us, but he truly is a music legend. He grew up in a time when it was illegal to be gay and he died just a few years before we discovered adequate treatment for AIDS. It's truly worth listening to their music, and getting to know them... not to mention you probably already have heard several of their songs... We are the Champions, Another one bites the dust, We will rock you...
Amen! I was never a huge Queen fan until I watched Bohemian Rhapsody. I’ve listened to them more now than when I was growing up. I hope they read these comments and realize what they are missing out on!!
You think it's trash but you did not give it a chance. Is this the way you always react to something unfamiliar? This song is easily the best rock song ever recorded and you acted like spoiled brats. If you want subscribers listen to the song and not your own mouth.
Ole boy in the hoodie knows what's up and gets it. There's absolutely nothing "wrong with these guys". They're musical geniuses who sold out stadiums, that's what they were. RIP Freddie you're still loved and missed 🙏😎🌈💚
@@rebeccalebeck9180 If you're going to do a music reaction video and you choose one of the greatest songs ever, earned respect is expected, at the least, no matter where you grew up. Being that the song is almost 50 years old, there's a ton of material out there on this song, the band and Freddie! And at the least, know something about what you're going to be reacting to!
Most hip-hop artists would wish they could get a stadium loaded with 50,000+ people coming to see their show. In fact, they would probably have as much as talent as the boys from Queen or any other big rock band have in their little tiny toe. By the way, I was wondering if these guys had already figured out where Moscow is (their reaction on the 1991 Metallica show there). Geez!
@@bonsai67 There were 50.000 people at *THAT* Travis Scott concert... ...just sayin' ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
They should have started with one or two of the more accessible Queen songs, like "We will Rock You" or "Another one bites the dust." These guys know nothing about some of the musical traditions Queen is incorporating in this song, like Opera....Freddie had an incredible range of 4 octaves and did a recording with an operatic soprano performer.
Genuinely Freddie Mercury was a legend for this song and especially with the context of what it really seems to mean and what he was going through with the times and how he died. Aids man. He was an interesting dude. All over the place.
Look in google Queen, and there are a lot of facts Rhapsody (1977) 1 twice. It first topped the Christmas charts in 1975 and got there again 16 years later, after Mercury's death. More than 2.6 million copies of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' have been bought since 1977, and in December 2018 it was officially recognized as the most-streamed song from the 20th Century @stevens5541
I agree with you there, however, this is them reacting to Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time- if you don't want interruptions.. go watch the music video.
@@hugoh.9694 Not if you've learned that smart is uncool. Notice that when the guy mentioned he sang the song in music class, they responded to him like he was a loser and he responded to them by pretending the experience meant nothing to him. That's learned ignorance - compliments of schools that view Black kids as inept and hapless failures.
Don't forget.... when you've NEVER heard actual talent in your lives growing up, it's hard to understand. They have to let their tastes mature. God willing, they will learn. At least they watched it.
@@rosalinddawson8086 That does happen. It mostly happens from bravado and lack of maturity. However, what you have highlighted is the INVERSE of what I stated. 😊 In YOUR example a prodigy or genius would seem mundane and unexceptional. Here we (potentially) have mundane and unexceptional shining bright like a star. Mostly due to the "dimness" that surrounds him and NOT necessarily because of exceptional "brightness".
Woo-BOY...if you can't get down to THIS song...you are truly lost. This is a classic masterpiece, in lyric, in music and groundbreaking radio play. See this is a long song, and the music execs said it would never get played on radio. They tried to force Freddy to cut it...he stuck to his guns and bam...radio started playing longer songs. Oh, and every one of these guys are also very smart and well educated. Look them up. RIP Freddy...you brilliant man, you are immortal.
Not sure they have a reference. Meaning they're not rock fans. It's like someone trying to recognize a beautiful flower when someone has never seen a flower in their life.
Ahhhh! Stop cutting it off. You keep interrupting at the worst times. Give it another go and listen to it all the way through, no autotuning here, just amazing voices. These guys are legendary.
You guys didn't recognize the sheer musical talent and range? I mean wow. I'm not even a rock head but I really appreciate their musical ability. This whole piece was genius.
Im hip hop to the death... But man... Queen, Freddy Mercury, GOATS!!!! Y'all should watch the Bohemian Rhapsody movie to give you an understanding of the lifestyle/lives of 80s rock stars. Different world.
I think it’s just because they are super young and all they’ve ever heard all their lives has nothing but rap. Their minds are very limited. At least now they’re being exposed to different stuff so they can expand their musical knowledge.
@@mr.nightshade8465 Nah, being young doesn't have anything to do with it imo. I'm 20 now and Queen hits has been in my daily playlists for years. Not just queen, some of my fav songs of all time are from groups like Abba and Boney M. It's not about age. It's more about being open to new to things. Well, old things in this case.
They can't because they're too dam ignorant. The mind is a terrible thing to waste and it shows here just what a wasted mind looks like. This is really sad. Young and stupid.
Yep. It really is a shame. Some people don’t stop to appreciate the effort and planning this song went through. They just put it off as “that one long and weird song.”
they didnt miss the mark, they missed the generation. they dont understand the importance of this song in music and pop-culture simply because of generation and cultural gaps. which is entirely understandable.
They requested this because this is one of the world's masterpieces. Freddy and Queen morphed together a bunch of styles and subjects that should NEVER have been put together and it covers an entire rainbow of feelings and circumstances and styles including rock opera....so then it ends up speaking to everyone in some way. Absolutely amazing song...and band...RIP Freddy the Mercurial Mercury...
Also…just wanted you guys to understand how big Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody is around the world…this song was just being played as a filler before a concert and the entire massive audience began singing it. m.th-cam.com/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/w-d-xo.html
it’s got a billion views because it’s one of the greatest songs ever written (in any genre) by one of the best-selling artists of all time 🤷🏼♀️ last i checked, i think Queen was #12 for worldwide album sales. there’s a reason for that. i think y’all missed out by not paying a lil bit closer attention, maybe retry it again on your own time. these guys are legit musical geniuses and are considered legends by everyone in the music business.
I think what is lacking in generations beyond GenX is the ability to hear lyrics of ANY song and interpret them properly. I can hear this song and 100% know what it means. I can hear "Enter Sandman" and 100% understand what it means. I can hear "Dream On" and 100% know what it means. I could tell you what WAP means. I could tell you what any song I hear on the radio right now means. Somehow, that skill has been lost.
I think you should listen to bohemian rhapsody on headphones for the first time. Because you just won't catch the vibe on speakers if you haven't felt all of it while listening for the first time. Everything about this reaction is wrong bro. I am sorry.
That's what I'm saying. I really believe the youth has missed out on so much. My generation grew up listening to music even from the 40s . I can tell you Patsy Cline is one of my favorites. I don't know how having the internet at their fingers how they don't know of the at least the biggest songs from different eras. It's crazy to me
Amen to that. I'm an African American woman and I listen to everything. I always have. So sad to see young ignorant people and they didn't even listen to the song.
BROO THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE....THEY SOLD OUT STADIUMS AFTER STADIUMS EVEN NOW BECAUSE THIS GROUP WAS AND STILL IS A GENIUS.....PUT SOME RESPECT ON THEIR NAME ESPECIALLY GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN FREDDIE MERCURY 🙏🏾🕊
"What's wrong with these dudes?" he said -- what??!! Oh my goodness, they are only one of the greatest bands in history, geniuses. Led by singer Freddie Mercury, a rock legend and icon, one of the greatest of all time -- may he rest in peace.
Man if I heard a song for the first time and it started with, ".... just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger, now he's dead." I sure would listen to EVERY SINGLE WORD! I would be interested and curious to find out how the story goes. Instead of laughing and talking over the ENTIRE song, but that's just me.
@@hugoh.9694 Like how long ? If they are serious about doing a ‘first reaction ‘ channel, they need to act as if they are actually interested, then listen and comment- this was like a bunch of school kids left in charge of a store - non stop talking - acting silly with no clue about the responsibility they have to produce something watchable for the viewers
@@scarletred8888 It's sink or swim on YT. It's super competitive. They either get with the program or their channel quickly becomes irrelevant. Since maturity mostly comes from experience, it's hard to put a timeline on it. Everyone gets there in their own time.
Wow, you guys really missed it on this one. The story in this song is so dope and relatable, but you let the so-called strangeness throw you off. You gotta be open to new music, not just write it off from the jump.
Wow..guys this is one of the greatest songs in history made by one of the greatest bands in history, with the greatest front man of all time. RESPECT I can't believe you kept stopping it for no reason and laughing instead of hearing/ listening. Freddie Mercury had the most range of any singer in history. It was another time but they broke the mold with this song and for the others that came after.... everyone that came after. You need to watch their 20 minutes on live aid 1985 the greatest 20 minutes of rock and roll history.
They are just too ignorant. I've never seen anyone on here give such a shocking and stupid reaction like this. They need to stick to what they know which couldn't be much.
@@blessed5545 I think it's about exposure. A lot of young people have only heard music that is electronically made, or rap music with beats in the background. The guy in the tank top said something in another reaction video like, "wow, they're making all this music themselves with instruments"
Queen stated many times that "Bohemian Rhapsody" is about a young man who has accidentally killed someone and sold his soul to the devil. It is an epic song that has stood the test time. Freddie Mercury had one of the greatest voices of all time and he is forever loved! ❤
Did you think if it is about the death of the man, Farrokh Bulsara, who "Freddie" killed while making his pact with the devil? He left his gf/fiance after having an affair with a Hollywood/Music Executive, these guys were likely groomed.
@@ΣταυρουλαΑλτανη-γ1υ He actually revealed it in his end days of coming to terms with his diagnosis of aids & his realization that he had transmitted it to other people. I feel that he is still one of the best stage performers of his day (my era) and the world is at a loss for not seeing such a great group & musician today. Queen will forever be an icon!!! Long live Queen!!!
@@tinabrown3268 I actually went to a couple Queen's concerts and experienced Freddy's passing. I've never heard of him revealing what the song meant. It's also very unlikely that what you wrote is true. The song came out before the first Aids diagnosis and well before Freddie was diagnosed. If anything the song was about his being homosexual and not being able to live freely because of his family's background and religion.
They are ignorant and don't know any better. They shouldn't even be on here giving their reaction to songs because they are definately silly than a "F".
Yup...same. These idiots really didn't bother doing any research on Queen or this iconic song...and unfortunately we see the result... three ignoramuses who are basically mocking a legend and have no understanding of one of the greatest rock operas of all time.
Same. I really enjoy this channel… how funny they are and how they analyze lyrics and such. They dig deeper. But WOW. Mocking Freddie Mercury?! Oh no they didn’t. Travesty. They seem high and scattered. I’ve seen them react to many different genres and were never disrespectful. Choosing Queen is diss… wow, bad move. Yikes. 😓
Obviously, a few of you have never been introduced to great music before! I've watched countless reaction videos and I've never seen anyone slam stop a song so many times,especially, the greatest rock song of all time and pretty much say nothing!
This wasnt a reaction video but a mockery to the greatest rock band. Maybe these 3 need to get out more and listen to classic rock more before bashing someone like that. I will for sure never see a video from these 3 clowns again.
@@pearldrumspaiste For real!! This "reaction" straight up pissed me off. The genius of this song *and* this legendary band is clearly beyond their limited capacity. smh
Sadly you didn't get this song. Freddie had the most vocal range of any singer during his time. He combined several music genre's in this song, including opera......pure genius even today. I'm sure you have heard other hits by this band..."We Are The Champions" probably. I would love to see you react to Meat Loaf Paradise By The Dashboard Lights. Another rock band whose first album, Bat Out Of Hell is still the fifth best selling of all time.
When one of my daughters was about 12 years old, I had her listen to this. When she got done she said, "that's probably the three greatest rock songs ever written."
Hugs. it’s a heavy song. You just gotta appreciate the craziness. Queen was amazing. Glad you’re sharing it. Freddie Mercury paved the way for people today to appreciate the differences in all of us.
As an ENGLISH WOMAN watching 👀 your first reaction WOW... Seriously you need to watch LIVE AID. Have you been sleeping under a rock. This group are MEGA. All of them EDUCATED BIG TIME!!!! WE LOVE QUEEN IN THE UK THEY REPRESENT US. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT 👏 🇬🇧🇬🇧
You'll be surprised how many hip hop lovers reacting on You Tube have never heard of The Beatles, Abba, Elvis Presley, Bee Gees and some even current artists like Adele.
@@Raider577 That is just beyond me. Anyone with an internet connection has the treasures of world music at their fingertips. I suppose Johnny Hartman, John Coltrane, Kevin Mahogany and Nat King Cole would also be lost on them.
There’s nothing funny or comical about this song. Freddie Mercury is a musical genius. He wrote this song by himself. He himself. Listen to it again without stopping it. 💕
I’m relatively shocked by this reaction. Queen are legendary. The impact on the music industry that this band had, and still has is insane. Freddy Mercury was an incredible singer. His voice will always live on. No matter what genre of music people are into, they always love Queen. Disrespecting a band this huge, especially this song, is something else. It’s an absolute masterpiece
Bummed at your reaction….. this is F’ING QUEEN! They sell out stadiums to this very day… Adam Lambert is now the lead singer…. The Bassist never played again after Freddie died…. This band influences bands to this day … at least the guy in the back gets it
Look up Brian May, who's the dark-haired guitarist, is also an astrophysicist (PhD) and received an OBE from Queen Elizabeth. He's an interesting character and much more than a random rock musician.
'Bohemian Rhapsody' WAS Freddie's confessional. It was about how different his life could have been, and how much happier he might have been, had he just been able to be himself, the whole of his life. The world heard this song as a masterpiece of imagination, a great command of musical styles.
Just some well meant advice...the constant stopping of the music to go off on silly tangents is so annoying I couldn't finish watching. If you see a song has as many views as this one, it's probably extremely well loved. If you don't agree, fine. But how would you know really? You didn't give it a chance which is gonna irritate the many, many people who love it. I'm much older than you and love watching young people discover music from the 70s that is now considered iconic. People have strong feelings about the music they love. Try to at least give it a fair listen.
Oh my goodness. I didn't see your post before I posted mine. I basically said the same thing...they are going to lose subscribers, doing things like that
Written/Composed in early 1970’s, Queen was so strong in their convictions of having this released as a single yet, their record company refused, saying it would never be played on the radio. Queen walked away from their record company. To date, Bohemian remains the greatest Rock Opera and is still played on the radio.
FYI: this was one of the first music videos to sell a song..way before MTV..no auto tune ever used by Queen...their songs are well known and used in commercials, t.v.shows, movies, sports...many artists including rapper's and hip hop artists have taken from Queen...their music lives forever and by the way this video has had over a 1.5 billion views
Wow, you sure missed the ball on understanding what a musical masterpiece this is. It was created in 1974 and still easily stands the test of time. Way better than most music that has been made since.
They're better off just listening to all that rapp shit because that's all they know. They shouldn't even be on here giving any kind of an opinion. They are just too dam ignorant.
This song will still be revered in the next century ... Kids studying music will find this song to as learning stuff And nothing new created can beat this song
These are the same guys that gave the world "We will Rock you" "We are the champions" "Another one Bites the dust" "Crazy Little thing called Love" and sooo many others.
Queen is epic. One of the best bands ever, with THE BEST FRONT MAN EVER. Freddie Mercury was an amazing talent. And, if you're sports fans, you've likely grown up hearing them, but just didn't realize it. "We are the Champions," "We Will Rock You," and "Another One Bites the Dust" have all been played at sporting events for decades now. Check out their "Live Aid" performance at Wembley Stadium (London) to get the full picture of their greatness.
Dude in the middle could go to a opera, musical or rock concert and appreciate it. Probably even to a museum. The other guys should expand their musical world and listen to classical, rock, alternative, jazz, big band/swing and blues instead of just listening to rap/hip hop. They don’t even have to like it but at least they will hopefully learn to appreciate the art and skills that musicians have and create
I thought the two guys got it and appreciated. Kid in the middle understood and the kid on the right I was reminiscing eighth grade. It look like he got caught in his feels. All in all I would not say they were ignorant. That’s pretty harsh.
GUYS THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SONGS IN ALL MUSIC HISTORY, ALL OF IT ITS UNIQUE AND MADE TO PERFECTION, ITS DIFFERENTE BUT AMAZING P.S. DO EMINEM- SOLDIER PLZ
This song was written by Freddy Mercury and its 3 different parts of different songs he encouraged them to merge together. Everyone was against it...but as we can see... it shows Freddy's genius. Anytime Queen or Temptation song comes on in the car, I will not leave the car until its over. THAT IS THE RESPECT I give to such masterpieces.
Guys, this is not complicated. The song is beautiful, and Queen is iconic. You have just made my head hurt from the ridiculous comments coming out of your mouths.
These guys were classically trained and this song tells a story, reminiscent of an opera. Please try again without interrupting. Listen to the amazing arrangement, the range of Freddie's voice. There has never been another song like it.
kid on the left is the one who always pauses... when they do reactions I always hope the other guys will make him sit in the back lol so he cant pause. Either that or the other guys sit on him for the reaction lmao
Gentlemen, this song, as has been noted previously, is in the top 10 of all songs, in recording history. Freddie Mercury was a tremendous front man, and the industry lost more with his passing, than 90% of today's artists have combined. Btian May is the guitar player, he made that guitar in his teens, in the '60s. On top of that, he is a astrophysicist. Start getting a bit deeper when you do a listening.
Freddie Mercury is the single most incredible vocalist of all time! His talent is beyond compare. There are some amazing performers out there but I don't think anyone even comes close to him.
This song is very deep. I would encourage you to watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody the Freddie Mercury story. He was a great musician, he really was before his time. Also this was during the height of the Aids virus and he was infected and later died from aids.
I hope you come back to this after you've posted this, because pausing it so often breaks the entire song apart. It starts with the realization of his world exploding and the dark, constant chaos inside, taking it through fear and shame and sadness. Look into the history of Freddy and why this song is incredibly important.
You just listened to the most amazing song by a truly great band of any genre. It is a shame that you couldn't appreciate how revolutionary this song was and remains to this day. I hope you listen to more of Queen's music especially live performances to see what true performances should be. If you ever go to a sporting event or school assembly you are familiar with Queen.
This is a master piece on so many levels. One of the best songs ever written and performed. Saw them live in the 80's never will forget hearing this song live.
IF YOU JUST TRY TO BE MORE MATURE ABOUT THINGS YOU HEARD, YOU WOULD CATCH WAY MORE LAYERS OF THE MUSIC THAT YOU LISTEN, THEREFORE YOU WOULD APPRECCIATE MORE OF THE THINGS
No joke and not trying to be rude. But at times it did feel like watching toddlers reacting. Focus guys! And do what you CAME to do. Try to stay on track and definitely don't talk over the song. If your lips are moving, your ears are no longer working.
It was really hard to watch this without feeling disrespected. Then I remembered that you guys are really young, and have no reference for the group or source material. I think if you had actually listened to it, instead of interrupting and carrying on, you may have realized you were hearing something different, and groundbreaking. What they created was supposedly impossible at the time, and is why music technology advanced the way it has. If you don't like rock, or opera, that's cool. Just remember others do, and they wanted to share something with you.
Them being young is no excuse. I would say I'm younger than all three of them but I grew up listening to Queen. By far one of the best songs ever and their reaction pissed me off because of the amount of disrespect. "What's wrong with these guys". ffs. they need to learn good music.
@@dillanditcham1413 I only mention their youth regarding their reference, not to excuse their behavior. While I didn't expect them to declare Queen the best group ever, I didn't expect the blatant disrespect and dismissal, either.
I remember when this song first came out, still have the 45, it was so different than anything on radio at the time. You didn't really understand it until you heard it again. It was so different than Queen's Killer Queen hit that it solidified their place in rock history.
The song is not literally about Freddie killing another man. When he was young he was a shy, quiet man called Farrokh Bulsara, he knew that in order to become the outrageous, flambouyant Rock Star Freddie Mercury he had to metaphorically 'kill' Farrokh Bulsara, that is what this song is all about. If you listen to the words, it's about himself, he is the 'Bohemian' of the title, and this is his 'Rhapsody'.
The composition of this piece of music is genius. Okay gentlemen, here’s the deal... he shoots and kills a guy, goes on the run telling his mom he may never see her again. He gets caught and says “I don’t want to die” because his is brought up on murder charges which carries the death sentence if convicted. So, in his despair he says, “Sometimes I wish I had never been born at all.” He is scared and doesn’t want to face the punishment of his crime. Keep in mind that Freddie Mercury (the lead singer) is a classically trained musician. He is educated and has knowledge of music history. This explains the change from a slow sad rock edge to the opera style sound. Many opera themes are tragic. This guy is on trial for murder and could be sentenced to death, that’s pretty tragic. This is point we are in the courtroom, and he see this official looking guy, maybe an attorney or the judge and he says “Scaramouche, can you do the fandango” • Scaramouche is a clown type character from a 16th century Italian opera. • Fandango is a Spanish dance from the 18th century. Sounds like he is looking that this official person and saying “I have no respect for you and if you want to tangle with me bring it on. (Remember Freddie Mercury was a very educated man) In my opinion he was one of the greats composers of the 20th century. When he says “Galileo Figaro magnifico” it is referencing the following: • Galileo - 17th century Italian astronomer, and mathematician who discovered that the earth revolved around the sun and got into a lot of trouble with the Pope for it. Keep in mind Galileo was brilliant but the Pope was politically powerful. He might be referencing that he was smart for killing the guy, but he is in the system now and it’s more powerful than he is. • Figaro was a brave character in a 1784 Italian opera called “The Marriage of Figaro” Here is the opera sound and maybe he is saying I’m going to be brave through this trial. • Magnifico is Italian for magnificent meaning this two people are magnificent men to whom he can relate. The remaining part of the song is about the trial. Note Bismillah - is Arabic and it means "In the name of Allah", as found in the Qur’an (Muslim version of the bible). Beelzebub - Religious Abrahamic demon. Christians reference it as Satan. To understand Freddie’s lyrics to this song you’re going to have to look up the lyric and do some google searches. Again, this man was seriously educated. Enjoy your journey with the group Queen. I did when I bought their albums when I was a teen. God Bless, Grandma
Well Grandma... You've got it wrong also. "Mama just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger now he's dead. Mama life had just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away." The man he said he killed, is actually himself. By announcing that he was gay to the world, he knew it would totally change his life. The man he killed was the straight Freddy. He then says, "Mama life had just begun, but now I've gone & thrown it all away." By coming out of the closet & telling the whole world about his private life. He felt like he had just thrown it all away. Watch the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" & it might help you to understand the song better. Just remember, Freddy's pretty deep in this one. So, ya gotta go deep with him. I hope you have a wonderful day. 🌷
if you listened to the song instead of talking and stopping it every few seconds you would get the real feel for the song. its amazing... they where so ahead of their time
A wise man once said....
"Never trust anyone who doesn't love Bohemian Rhapsody!!"
He also said “Never interrupt Brian during a solo.” 🤫
Feel bad. For them.
Y’all can’t blame them for not knowing! They’re kids, and they’re not ready, for this!

Being that the song is almost 50 years old, there's a ton of material out there on this song, the band and Freddie! And at the least, know something about what you're going to be reacting to!
Lost white shirts, poor reaction.
Most hip-hop artists would wish they could get a stadium loaded with 50,000+ people coming to see their show. In fact, they would probably have as much as talent as the boys from Queen or any other big rock band have in their little tiny toe.
By the way, I was wondering if these guys had already figured out where Moscow is (their reaction on the 1991 Metallica show there). Geez!
@@bonsai67 There were 50.000 people at *THAT* Travis Scott concert...

There's nothing wrong with 'these dudes' they're legends and this song is a masterpiece
They should have started with one or two of the more accessible Queen songs, like "We will Rock You" or "Another one bites the dust." These guys know nothing about some of the musical traditions Queen is incorporating in this song, like Opera....Freddie had an incredible range of 4 octaves and did a recording with an operatic soprano performer.
IMO QUEEN is the best sing rock group ever!!!!!
They dont know what acapella is, lol
Acapela
Genuinely Freddie Mercury was a legend for this song and especially with the context of what it really seems to mean and what he was going through with the times and how he died. Aids man. He was an interesting dude. All over the place.
No words! You are lost!!! This is a absolute masterpiece! One of the best songs ever!!!
Are these guys drunk or high, been up all night? They are way off their normal game. Don't fi reactions when your wasted or tired
Your opinion and not fact
@@stevens5541 Its a fact
Look in google Queen, and there are a lot of facts
Rhapsody (1977)
1 twice. It first topped the Christmas charts in 1975 and got there again 16 years later, after Mercury's death. More than 2.6 million copies of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' have been bought since 1977, and in December 2018 it was officially recognized as the most-streamed song from the 20th Century
@stevens5541
This is the only reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody I haven’t been able to finish. Genius unappreciated. Middle school vibes.

Perfect comparison! Middle school vibes. ie. Millennial reaction.

Notice that when the guy mentioned he sang the song in music class, they responded to him like he was a loser and he responded to them by pretending the experience meant nothing to him. That's learned ignorance - compliments of schools that view Black kids as inept and hapless failures.
Don't forget.... when you've NEVER heard actual talent in your lives growing up, it's hard to understand.
They have to let their tastes mature. God willing, they will learn. At least they watched it.
@@rosalinddawson8086 That does happen. It mostly happens from bravado and lack of maturity. However, what you have highlighted is the INVERSE of what I stated. 😊 In YOUR example a prodigy or genius would seem mundane and unexceptional.

Woo-BOY...if you can't get down to THIS song...you are truly lost. This is a classic masterpiece, in lyric, in music and groundbreaking radio play. See this is a long song, and the music execs said it would never get played on radio. They tried to force Freddy to cut it...he stuck to his guns and bam...radio started playing longer songs. Oh, and every one of these guys are also very smart and well educated. Look them up. RIP Freddy...you brilliant man, you are immortal.
“Get right with the requests” this is fucking Queen!!!! So many artist in all genres has been inspired by this band! And sampled this song also!

You guys didn't recognize the sheer musical talent and range? I mean wow. I'm not even a rock head but I really appreciate their musical ability. This whole piece was genius.
Im hip hop to the death... But man... Queen, Freddy Mercury, GOATS!!!! Y'all should watch the Bohemian Rhapsody movie to give you an understanding of the lifestyle/lives of 80s rock stars. Different world.
I think it’s just because they are super young and all they’ve ever heard all their lives has nothing but rap. Their minds are very limited. At least now they’re being exposed to different stuff so they can expand their musical knowledge.
Yeah word but the movie isn't all that accurate. I'd suggest doing the real research n checkin out actual footage b4 even remembrin there is a movie.
@@mr.nightshade8465
Nah, being young doesn't have anything to do with it imo. I'm 20 now and Queen hits has been in my daily playlists for years. Not just queen, some of my fav songs of all time are from groups like Abba and Boney M. It's not about age. It's more about being open to new to things. Well, old things in this case.

That’s what they are doing
They can't because they're too dam ignorant. The mind is a terrible thing to waste and it shows here just what a wasted mind looks like. This is really sad. Young and stupid.

Yep. It really is a shame. Some people don’t stop to appreciate the effort and planning this song went through. They just put it off as “that one long and weird song.”
they didnt miss the mark, they missed the generation. they dont understand the importance of this song in music and pop-culture simply because of generation and cultural gaps. which is entirely understandable.

Greatest Rock Opera ever written! Freddie Mercury singing with the angels his voice ringing in eternity🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉RIP sweet boy.❤
They requested this because this is one of the world's masterpieces. Freddy and Queen morphed together a bunch of styles and subjects that should NEVER have been put together and it covers an entire rainbow of feelings and circumstances and styles including rock opera....so then it ends up speaking to everyone in some way. Absolutely amazing song...and band...RIP Freddy the Mercurial Mercury...
Also…just wanted you guys to understand how big Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody is around the world…this song was just being played as a filler before a concert and the entire massive audience began singing it.
m.th-cam.com/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/w-d-xo.html
It's from the Album ' A night at the opera "
FREDDIE
it’s got a billion views because it’s one of the greatest songs ever written (in any genre) by one of the best-selling artists of all time 🤷🏼♀️ last i checked, i think Queen was #12 for worldwide album sales. there’s a reason for that. i think y’all missed out by not paying a lil bit closer attention, maybe retry it again on your own time. these guys are legit musical geniuses and are considered legends by everyone in the music business.
Well said👍
I feel sorry for people who can't even open their mind a tiny fraction to recognise a masterpiece like this from the past. Talk about society failing.
I think what is lacking in generations beyond GenX is the ability to hear lyrics of ANY song and interpret them properly. I can hear this song and 100% know what it means. I can hear "Enter Sandman" and 100% understand what it means. I can hear "Dream On" and 100% know what it means. I could tell you what WAP means. I could tell you what any song I hear on the radio right now means. Somehow, that skill has been lost.
This reaction was painful to watch.
I think you should listen to bohemian rhapsody on headphones for the first time. Because you just won't catch the vibe on speakers if you haven't felt all of it while listening for the first time. Everything about this reaction is wrong bro. I am sorry.
Freddie Mercury's voice was literally ONE of a kind. Listen to the story in its ENTIRETY. You may even shed a tear
I know I did
How the hell can you not love this song?!?
This is why I'm glad I grew up listening to many different genres of music.This group is a music legend
That's what I'm saying. I really believe the youth has missed out on so much. My generation grew up listening to music even from the 40s . I can tell you Patsy Cline is one of my favorites.
I don't know how having the internet at their fingers how they don't know of the at least the biggest songs from different eras. It's crazy to me
💯💯💯💯
Amen to that. I'm an African American woman and I listen to everything. I always have. So sad to see young ignorant people and they didn't even listen to the song.
BROO THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE....THEY SOLD OUT STADIUMS AFTER STADIUMS EVEN NOW BECAUSE THIS GROUP WAS AND STILL IS A GENIUS.....PUT SOME RESPECT ON THEIR NAME ESPECIALLY GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN FREDDIE MERCURY 🙏🏾🕊
Didn’t even give it a chance just talked and laughed the whole way through, this is recognised as one of if not the best song ever written
"What's wrong with these dudes?" he said -- what??!! Oh my goodness, they are only one of the greatest bands in history, geniuses. Led by singer Freddie Mercury, a rock legend and icon, one of the greatest of all time -- may he rest in peace.
Man if I heard a song for the first time and it started with, ".... just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger, now he's dead." I sure would listen to EVERY SINGLE WORD! I would be interested and curious to find out how the story goes. Instead of laughing and talking over the ENTIRE song, but that's just me.
Curiosity requires maturity, patience and intelligence. Give them some time.

Wow..guys this is one of the greatest songs in history made by one of the greatest bands in history, with the greatest front man of all time. RESPECT I can't believe you kept stopping it for no reason and laughing instead of hearing/ listening. Freddie Mercury had the most range of any singer in history. It was another time but they broke the mold with this song and for the others that came after.... everyone that came after. You need to watch their 20 minutes on live aid 1985 the greatest 20 minutes of rock and roll history.
They are just too ignorant. I've never seen anyone on here give such a shocking and stupid reaction like this. They need to stick to what they know which couldn't be much.
@@blessed5545 I think it's about exposure. A lot of young people have only heard music that is electronically made, or rap music with beats in the background. The guy in the tank top said something in another reaction video like, "wow, they're making all this music themselves with instruments"
They are telling a story, about regret, about dealing with consequences. Missed one of the greatest pieces of music ever.
One of the best bands ever! Freddie has one of the best voices ever!

This was a hard reaction to watch.
You ain't lying. All they do is talk over what they're reacting to!
These guys are all talking at the same time just like women do.
Queen stated many times that "Bohemian Rhapsody" is about a young man who has accidentally killed someone and sold his soul to the devil.
It is an epic song that has stood the test time.
Freddie Mercury had one of the greatest voices of all time and he is forever loved! ❤
I actually liked these guys until realizing they have no fucking clue what they are saying
Did you think if it is about the death of the man, Farrokh Bulsara, who "Freddie" killed while making his pact with the devil? He left his gf/fiance after having an affair with a Hollywood/Music Executive, these guys were likely groomed.
@@ΣταυρουλαΑλτανη-γ1υ He actually revealed it in his end days of coming to terms with his diagnosis of aids & his realization that he had transmitted it to other people.

Long live Queen!!!
Absolutely, the Best‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
@@tinabrown3268 I actually went to a couple Queen's concerts and experienced Freddy's passing. I've never heard of him revealing what the song meant. It's also very unlikely that what you wrote is true. The song came out before the first Aids diagnosis and well before Freddie was diagnosed. If anything the song was about his being homosexual and not being able to live freely because of his family's background and religion.
Imagine listening to what's considered one of the best songs of all time for the FIRST time and pausing it 48 times?

Look up Brian May, who's the dark-haired guitarist, is also an astrophysicist (PhD) and received an OBE from Queen Elizabeth. He's an interesting character and much more than a random rock musician.
'Bohemian Rhapsody' WAS Freddie's confessional. It was about how different his life could have been, and how much happier he might have been, had he just been able to be himself, the whole of his life. The world heard this song as a masterpiece of imagination, a great command of musical styles.

Just some well meant advice...the constant stopping of the music to go off on silly tangents is so annoying I couldn't finish watching. If you see a song has as many views as this one, it's probably extremely well loved. If you don't agree, fine. But how would you know really? You didn't give it a chance which is gonna irritate the many, many people who love it. I'm much older than you and love watching young people discover music from the 70s that is now considered iconic. People have strong feelings about the music they love.

I agree completely, I stopped this half way through because it's so annoying.
Excellent advice, it would greatly help their channel if they do this.I hope they read your comment 👍
Very well said. Thank you.
That is exactly what I thought. Exactly.
Oh my goodness. I didn't see your post before I posted mine. I basically said the same thing...they are going to lose subscribers, doing things like that
Written/Composed in early 1970’s, Queen was so strong in their convictions of having this released as a single yet, their record company refused, saying it would never be played on the radio. Queen walked away from their record company. To date, Bohemian remains the greatest Rock Opera and is still played on the radio.
I remember where I was &what I was doing the first time I heard this on the radio. Blown away does not describe it!
You can thank Queen for “We Will Rock You!,” “Another One Bites The Dust!,” “Another One Bites The Dust!” to name a few…🇬🇧👑‼️
FYI: this was one of the first music videos to sell a song..way before MTV..no auto tune ever used by Queen...their songs are well known and used in commercials, t.v.shows, movies, sports...many artists including rapper's and hip hop artists have taken from Queen...their music lives forever and by the way this video has had over a 1.5 billion views
The one in the middle is my fav. He just seems to be open to a lot. You have to be that way when dealing with music. Thanks dude in the middle 💕
Wow, you sure missed the ball on understanding what a musical masterpiece this is. It was created in 1974 and still easily stands the test of time. Way better than most music that has been made since.
They're better off just listening to all that rapp shit because that's all they know. They shouldn't even be on here giving any kind of an opinion. They are just too dam ignorant.

To one of the best songs ever written in history…this was the reaction. 😢
These are the same guys that gave the world "We will Rock you" "We are the champions" "Another one Bites the dust" "Crazy Little thing called Love" and sooo many others.
Ect.....
Queen is epic. One of the best bands ever, with THE BEST FRONT MAN EVER. Freddie Mercury was an amazing talent. And, if you're sports fans, you've likely grown up hearing them, but just didn't realize it. "We are the Champions," "We Will Rock You," and "Another One Bites the Dust" have all been played at sporting events for decades now. Check out their "Live Aid" performance at Wembley Stadium (London) to get the full picture of their greatness.
Dude in the middle could go to a opera, musical or rock concert and appreciate it. Probably even to a museum. The other guys should expand their musical world and listen to classical, rock, alternative, jazz, big band/swing and blues instead of just listening to rap/hip hop.
They don’t even have to like it but at least they will hopefully learn to appreciate the art and skills that musicians have and create
We will rock you, we are the champions, another one bites the dust, under pressure and many many more HITS!

These guys were classically trained and this song tells a story, reminiscent of an opera. Please try again without interrupting. Listen to the amazing arrangement, the range of Freddie's voice. There has never been another song like it.
That entire opening sequence of harmonies were all done by Freddie Mercury alone by layering multiple tracks of himself. The man was a musical genius.
A shame you didn't just let it roll. This was a classic rock opera, first of it's kind and a musical masterpiece.

Did y'all talk about how AMAZING his voice is?!?!?! It's a rock opera
Gentlemen, this song, as has been noted previously, is in the top 10 of all songs, in recording history.
Freddie Mercury was a tremendous front man, and the industry lost more with his passing, than 90% of today's artists have combined.
Btian May is the guitar player, he made that guitar in his teens, in the '60s.
On top of that, he is a astrophysicist.
Start getting a bit deeper when you do a listening.
This is an iconic song and Freddie Mercury was a genius. Queen is loved around the world.
I literally have a tattoo of the queen logo
The reason of their longhair is this was down in the mid 70’s. That was the style back then.

It starts with the realization of his world exploding and the dark, constant chaos inside, taking it through fear and shame and sadness. Look into the history of Freddy and why this song is incredibly important.
You just listened to the most amazing song by a truly great band of any genre. It is a shame that you couldn't appreciate how revolutionary this song was and remains to this day. I hope you listen to more of Queen's music especially live performances to see what true performances should be. If you ever go to a sporting event or school assembly you are familiar with Queen.
They don't get it. They won't look at Queen twice. They're in their own hood. These three idiots give aesthetic black people a bad name.
This is a master piece on so many levels. One of the best songs ever written and performed. Saw them live in the 80's never will forget hearing this song live.
I must've turned at least 3 people onto Queen in my lifetime. Saw them in concert abt 3X too.
"I keep getting a different flow, it's not the same" That's part of the brilliance. The older u get you'll appreciate it 💯
IF YOU JUST TRY TO BE MORE MATURE ABOUT THINGS YOU HEARD, YOU WOULD CATCH WAY MORE LAYERS OF THE MUSIC THAT YOU LISTEN, THEREFORE YOU WOULD APPRECCIATE MORE OF THE THINGS
No joke and not trying to be rude. But at times it did feel like watching toddlers reacting. Focus guys! And do what you CAME to do. Try to stay on track and definitely don't talk over the song. If your lips are moving, your ears are no longer working.
Hé there Americans..... Hip hop shit.....not real music.
Thank you. You took the words right out of my mouth..
I agree, they talked over most of it, so how can it be a true reaction!!
They showed a total disregard for an artist's masterpiece. Why in the world would anyone want to watch them review/"react" to any other songs?!
Don't diss Freddy!!! Legend!!!!
Great song, can't say anything positive about the reaction!
0:28 You guys MUST see The Queen video 1981 Live in Montreal!” An excellent rendering of Freddy’s vocal talents!!! SOMBODY to LOVE!!!
It was really hard to watch this without feeling disrespected. Then I remembered that you guys are really young, and have no reference for the group or source material. I think if you had actually listened to it, instead of interrupting and carrying on, you may have realized you were hearing something different, and groundbreaking. What they created was supposedly impossible at the time, and is why music technology advanced the way it has. If you don't like rock, or opera, that's cool. Just remember others do, and they wanted to share something with you.
Them being young is no excuse. I would say I'm younger than all three of them but I grew up listening to Queen. By far one of the best songs ever and their reaction pissed me off because of the amount of disrespect. "What's wrong with these guys". ffs. they need to learn good music.
@@dillanditcham1413 I only mention their youth regarding their reference, not to excuse their behavior. While I didn't expect them to declare Queen the best group ever, I didn't expect the blatant disrespect and dismissal, either.
You're right, Queen made great production choices with this song, and implemented methods that hadn't been done before
I remember when this song first came out, still have the 45, it was so different than anything on radio at the time. You didn't really understand it until you heard it again. It was so different than Queen's Killer Queen hit that it solidified their place in rock history.
@@dillanditcham1413 and they're too stoned..cant focus..stoned on the shallow smoking pot of today IMO & oh well...too bad
Dude.. it’s Queen! Once of the best bands ever!
The song is not literally about Freddie killing another man. When he was young he was a shy, quiet man called Farrokh Bulsara, he knew that in order to become the outrageous, flambouyant Rock Star Freddie Mercury he had to metaphorically 'kill' Farrokh Bulsara, that is what this song is all about. If you listen to the words, it's about himself, he is the 'Bohemian' of the title, and this is his 'Rhapsody'.
The composition of this piece of music is genius.
Okay gentlemen, here’s the deal...
he shoots and kills a guy, goes on the run telling his mom he may never see her again. He gets caught and says “I don’t want to die” because his is brought up on murder charges which carries the death sentence if convicted. So, in his despair he says, “Sometimes I wish I had never been born at all.” He is scared and doesn’t want to face the punishment of his crime.
Keep in mind that Freddie Mercury (the lead singer) is a classically trained musician. He is educated and has knowledge of music history. This explains the change from a slow sad rock edge to the opera style sound. Many opera themes are tragic. This guy is on trial for murder and could be sentenced to death, that’s pretty tragic.
This is point we are in the courtroom, and he see this official looking guy, maybe an attorney or the judge and he says “Scaramouche, can you do the fandango”
• Scaramouche is a clown type character from a 16th century Italian opera.
• Fandango is a Spanish dance from the 18th century.
Sounds like he is looking that this official person and saying “I have no respect for you and if you want to tangle with me bring it on. (Remember Freddie Mercury was a very educated man) In my opinion he was one of the greats composers of the 20th century.
When he says “Galileo Figaro magnifico” it is referencing the following:
• Galileo - 17th century Italian astronomer, and mathematician who discovered that the earth revolved around the sun and got into a lot of trouble with the Pope for it. Keep in mind Galileo was brilliant but the Pope was politically powerful.
He might be referencing that he was smart for killing the guy, but he is in the system now and it’s more powerful than he is.
• Figaro was a brave character in a 1784 Italian opera called “The Marriage of Figaro”
Here is the opera sound and maybe he is saying I’m going to be brave through this trial.
• Magnifico is Italian for magnificent meaning this two people are magnificent men to whom he can relate.
The remaining part of the song is about the trial.
Note
Bismillah - is Arabic and it means "In the name of Allah", as found in the Qur’an (Muslim version of the bible).
Beelzebub - Religious Abrahamic demon. Christians reference it as Satan.
To understand Freddie’s lyrics to this song you’re going to have to look up the lyric and do some google searches. Again, this man was seriously educated.
Enjoy your journey with the group Queen. I did when I bought their albums when I was a teen.
God Bless,
Grandma
Well Grandma... You've got it wrong also. "Mama just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger now he's dead. Mama life had just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away."
The man he said he killed, is actually himself. By announcing that he was gay to the world, he knew it would totally change his life. The man he killed was the straight Freddy. He then says, "Mama life had just begun, but now I've gone & thrown it all away." By coming out of the closet & telling the whole world about his private life. He felt like he had just thrown it all away. Watch the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" & it might help you to understand the song better. Just remember, Freddy's pretty deep in this one. So, ya gotta go deep with him.
I hope you have a wonderful day. 🌷
if you listened to the song instead of talking and stopping it every few seconds you would get the real feel for the song. its amazing... they where so ahead of their time
It was the best rock song ever written you might want to pay attention.
Saw these guys live 3 times. Legendary, just legendary!!! So sad you seem to lack the capacity to appreciate their musical talents.
Wow. Your reactions have come a longggg way from this one 8 months ago. Probably one of the greatest and most creative rock songs of all time.
Fake reaction. This is how they genuinely feel
