@Yeeterson Peterson You do realize that you just opened the Pandora`s box and that every one will quote something just to troll you ? Ill start if you dont mind: "It is good Freddie!" - "It is BULLSHIT!!"
A dentist, an electronic engineer, an astrophysicist, and an art school grad walked onto a stage... ...and gave us Freddie, the frontman for Rock and Roll.
Have you noticed that Roger Taylor's drums are tuned to sound exactly like a little "explosion" everytime he hits the snare? That's what makes Queen's sound even better. It matches the tone of the Red Special perfectly. And these little details that each musician of this band inputs in the music they make is what makes them true virtuosos..4 geniuses really.
That’s not the snare, that was some electric drums he had in that tour (also in 1982), that sounded awesome. They’re called Simmons SDS-VII e-drum pads.
And, unfortunately, he never sang that in live. It was always sh1tty, to be honest. This is definitely the best version, and the right notes to sing it.
Lyrics: Yeah! Here we stand, or here we fall, History won’t care at all Make the bed, light the light, yeah, Lady Mercy won’t be home tonight. Yeah, You don’t waste no time at all, Don’t hear the bell, but you answer the call Comes to you as to us all, And - we’re just waiting for the Hammer to Fall, yeah! Oh, every night, and every day, A little piece of you is falling away But lift your face, the Western Way, baby - Build your muscles as your body decays. Yeah, Toe your line and play their game, And let the anesthetic cover it all ‘Till one day, they call your name, You’ll know it’s time for the Hammer to Fall, yeah. Rich or poor or famous, For your truth, it’s all the same, yeah, babe. (Oh no - oh no!) Oh, lock your door, but rain is pouring, Through your window pane (Oh no!) Ah, baby, now your struggles all in vain, yeah, yeah! For we, who grew up tall and proud, In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud Convinced our voices can’t be heard, We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder, What the hell we fighting for?! Ah, just surrender and it won’t hurt at all, no. You just got time to say your prayers, Yeah, while you’re waiting for the Hammer to, Hammer To Fall. Hey! Listen - it’s going to fall, right! Hammer, you know, ah, Hammer To Fall, yeah! Woooo... Hey, hey, woo-woo! Hah, hah! While you’re waiting for the Hammer To Fall. Give it to me one more time!

This was the genius of Queen...they could literally play any kind of music flawlessly, from hard rock, to ballads, to r&b/disco, and everything in between. The four of them had the perfect chemistry to become greater than the sum of their parts and make music that will stand the test of time long after they are all gone.
Exactly. The variety of genres they were able to play makes them one of the greatest bands ever. Only The Beatles can match them, maybe not even The Beatles.
I think Brian may must be one of the most talented guitar players to grace earth. who agrees with me? Is there any better? Maybe now but for this generation I'm not sure. Queen was one hell of a band.
I've seen the live version a hundred times but this is the first time I've seen the official video... fucking hell it's perfect. God Damn let us have Freddie back
They should sacrifice all these worthless mumble rappers to bring back people like freddie.. Though on the other side, i don't want freddie/bowie/prince to live in the garbage world we live in now.
not to argue but no. not for anyone that had just lived through anything. a rallying cry to wake up for all the people LIVING through the Cold War. There was a serious fear that the USSR was going to attack the US or the other way around. This song came before Reagan said "Tear down this wall."
This song has plenty to do with the Western hemisphere, including the US. All of us came through the Cold War with the threat of nuclear war hanging over our heads. People were building fallout shelters in their back yards.
Fun fact: The Official Video is of Queen performing Hammer To Fall in Brussels '84. They just added the studio version over the live version (In the video).
I think you’re right about the footage, but something is not exactly right with the audio synch even in the live sound version. If you observe Freddie closely (for example during the “let the anesthetic cover it all” there is no way that what we hear is from the footage we are seeing. Maybe they did several takes or took the footage from different show dates?
Bull shit. It's a specially staged performance, because they needed a video when this was released as a single. The band lip synced/played along to the track while it was played through loud speakers. Stop making stuff up.
I'm not going to be one of those "I was born in the wrong generation," kids, but damn it would have been amazing to be alive at the same time as these guys. I am definitely grateful for everything that I have, and the fact that I can still listen to these amazing artists.
Here's the thing.....I was born in November of 1979 and my mother MADE SURE that I knew who Queen was!! I remember listening to 'A Night At The Opera' for the first time on my mom's vinyl copy and my life changed!!
This is my favourite queen song ever it's just brilliant I remember when I was younger and getting into rock music and first got into queen i got the works because it had radio gaga and I want to break free on it and when I was listening to album and this track came up I was blown away and to this day every time I'm sad, angry, or depressed I just whack this song on and makes me feel better
GREATEST QUOTE : John Deacon looks like the man that turned up to an audition and just started playing. No one noticed hed turned up... but they sure as hell noticed when he wasnt there.... I wont name the source. Much like Cliff Williams ACDC very underated!
This song never fails to perk me up. Probably my favourite Queen song of all, it deserves much more popularity.

I know, is great. But for me Queen and Freddie Mercury are the best of all time. I read an article wrote last year where they proof Queen is the best band ever. I will look for it and I'll send you the link.
I still can't believe rock music has "died" in this generation... Queen (and the Beatles) are the ones that got me into rock music since I was just a little kid. To me rock will forever be the best genre of music
First time for me that I heard the song and saw the vid as well. Never heard of it before, it's that kind of B-Side stuff that comes along when you ain't lookin'. Its fuckin' cool, what more can I say.
I have to agree, faster and riotous (vivid) sound. Everyone plug in your ears and hear Live Aid 1985...Freddie Mercury caressed us with his vocals and message dynamite..doesn't it ring the same today? Ha!...Loud and Clear..rock on Queen!

I love this song forever. I used to collect Queen Vinyl years after it released. Queen are the Top Rock Band of all Eras ! The fall of that Hammer. Viva the Fall of the Berlin Wall !!!
Growing up with this music was the best the 1980s was the best I'm so glad I got to experience it ............kids these days growing up is so different.....
I'm almost 55 years old,,,, I've never got into Queen, Ive heard a lot of their songs, everyone has, I saw the movie,,,,, never heard the Hammer to fall.... Now I'm hooked,,,, they fucking rocked..... I love them...... 😍
@@youtubesecure7204 I think because to do this song justice you need high volume and movement, I have this on my riding/driving playlist and find that listening to it on youtube pales compared to that.
Queen's music is so legendary that we never forgotten how talented they were and how Amazing that Freddie Mercury can sing so good in my opinion of course lol
I can't remember who, but someone once said that "a man dies twice, once when he stops breathing, and again when his name is spoken for the last time" In this sense, I believe Queen is as close to true immortality as anyone can manage. I hope there's never a time when no one speaks of these legends.
For we who grew up tall and proud In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud Convinced our voices can't be heard We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder My favorite bit.

While you're waiting for the Hammer To Fall
Give it to me one more time
Best Lyrics To Explain the faulty of all is in vain cause the end is inevitable (I love it)
This band is the greatest ever!!! There can never be anyone like QUEEN
Queen they best band of the world with the best singer, showman and songwriter of all time, big Freddie Mercury.
Adriana Delgadillo Queen is either 4th or 3rd best.
Just in your imagination. Queen is the best. Goodbye.
Pink Floyd is very dark, I don't like them, just one song.
Adriana Delgadillo And being dark is why I like them. And that does not make them worse. Bohemian Rhapsody is dark, but that does not make it bad.
I know, is great. But for me Queen and Freddie Mercury are the best of all time. I read an article wrote last year where they proof Queen is the best band ever. I will look for it and I'll send you the link.
This is my ultimate Queen song. Love the message, love the upbeat music. We miss you Freddy❤
Hi Kym I have an indie 80's style song to recommend to you called 'Where I come From' by Robert Nix
The bass line, omg --------------🦋
queen is easily the best rock band of them all and that's a true fact
Definitely agree
True, always true
a lot of them are good but none beats Queen
And Beatles maybe but you're right, Queen's the best
I still can't believe rock music has "died" in this generation... Queen (and the Beatles) are the ones that got me into rock music since I was just a little kid. To me rock will forever be the best genre of music
No... some of us still like it ;) don't lose all hope
KimchiTaco well we do hot bands like P!ATD which isn’t like the classics and more modern but still good
Ever heard of White Stripes? They were around until 2011 I believe
KimchiTaco oh dont worry im pretty sure Greta Van Fleet already took care of that problem
I would say rock died during 2010s
I'm 63 absolutely love ❤️ Queen & ❤ Freddie I miss him 😢 never be another entertainer like Freddie 😢
They wrote so many great songs, some most people never heard about, like this one.
I'm pretty sure most people know this song :S it's even on most of the greatest hits albums
Geoff Hamer And it's in the movie Highlander
Geoff Hamer I didn't
Itay Bashan Well you're not like most people :D
First time for me that I heard the song and saw the vid as well. Never heard of it before, it's that kind of B-Side stuff that comes along when you ain't lookin'. Its fuckin' cool, what more can I say.
The first time I heard this song was the Live Aid performance, and it feels weird to listen to the original version
I have to agree, faster and riotous (vivid) sound. Everyone plug in your ears and hear Live Aid 1985...Freddie Mercury caressed us with his vocals and message dynamite..doesn't it ring the same today? Ha!...Loud and Clear..rock on Queen!
I prefer live aid version than this vesion
Wow you are a very very lucky person
Literally same
The first time I heard it was in the movie, Highlander.
bands like queen don't come around often
like once in a lifetime
More like once in forever
Yeah, none anymore for sure! Thank God for technology!
bands don't exist at all at this point
@@franivanmatakovic2419 I agree.
Queen is forever.
the best band, in the world, nobody surpasses this legendary band, I will never stop listening to Queen
Queen 👸 Official
Freddie Mercury
~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~
Yeah
~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~
Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight
You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
Yeah, we're just waiting for the hammer to fall, yeah
~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~
Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the Western way
Build your muscles as your body decays, yeah
Tow the line and play their game
Yeah, let the anesthetic cover it all
'Til one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall
~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~
Rich or poor or famous
For your truth it's all the same
(Oh no, oh no)
Oh, lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
(Oh no)
Hey yeah, baby, now your struggle's all in vain, yeah
~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~
For who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder
What the hell are we fighting for?
Ah, just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
Yeah, while you're waiting for the hammer to, hammer to fall
Hey, yes
Let's get on the floor, yeah
Hammer
You know
Hammer to fall
Yeah
Hey, woo hoo
Ha ha, ha ha
I've been waiting for the hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time

In conclusion: Brian is one of the best songwriters of all the time
@@LeBirbo Yes ❤️
I love this song forever. I used to collect Queen Vinyl years after it released. Queen are the Top Rock Band of all Eras ! The fall of that Hammer. Viva the Fall of the Berlin Wall !!!
Growing up with this music was the best the 1980s was the best I'm so glad I got to experience it ............kids these days growing up is so different.....
How could a band of just four men be so fucking amazing ??
5 there was always a piano man
The Games only live
Game Local Freddie is the piano man
Well ... they were not any man. Those four men were 4 geniuses: His Majesty Freddy Mercury, Byan May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.
One Minute Silence, four men, modern prophets.
WHAT THE HELL WE FIGHTING FOR?!!
This song is bloody awesome, it deserves more recognition
I'm almost 55 years old,,,, I've never got into Queen, Ive heard a lot of their songs, everyone has, I saw the movie,,,,, never heard the Hammer to fall.... Now I'm hooked,,,, they fucking rocked..... I love them...... 😍
Queen's best song and the most underrated song of all time
4 genius ! The perfect harmony in their music ! 😍😍😍
I'm very curious as to why a catchy song like this has only 17.5million view
QWERTY 1 I personally only watch the live versions of this song since they’re usually better
@@gamingparadise6664 i also watch live version of most of the songs, but for this i watch the official
Because they had tapes, cd, dvd with it
@@micdiaz1391 but all this was also available for the other songs
@@youtubesecure7204 I think because to do this song justice you need high volume and movement, I have this on my riding/driving playlist and find that listening to it on youtube pales compared to that.
One of my fave Queen songs 💖 I love Radio Ga Ga & Under Pressure too 💖💖💖
I'm here and loving it.
Queen Official
Queen's music is so legendary that we never forgotten how talented they were and how Amazing that Freddie Mercury can sing so good in my opinion of course lol
Queen are immortal!!!
Alberto Valli forever and always.
I can't remember who, but someone once said that "a man dies twice, once when he stops breathing, and again when his name is spoken for the last time" In this sense, I believe Queen is as close to true immortality as anyone can manage. I hope there's never a time when no one speaks of these legends.
macklemore -glorious
Allan Grant i am gonna make by Children listen to when when i have children
I can't even listen to hammer to fall without "HEY HEY HEY HEY HEEEYYY" anymore.
HOW 'BOUT A SOOOONG?!
nearly 40 years later we are STILL listening to this song and it is still as prescient -Amazing!
Freddie Mercury was the most fabulous person to have ever lived.
James J Carotto John Locke
+JamesCarotto9 Michael Jackson?

Agreed
IN 2021 STILL LISTEN TO QUEEN, HE WAS MY GENERATION 😔😭😭..I AM 65 AND LOVE WUEEN AND MISS GOOD OLD DAY 😭😭😭💔💔💔
One of, if not the best of Queen. Brilliant band
Always loved Queen's lights.
Queen are... a kind of magic. Works. Shows that must go on. Rhapsodies.
hal yeah there is an album called a kind of magic
PURE ADRENALINE....... THE BEST....... WHIT YOU........ QUEEN!!!!!!! 🤘🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This song is criminally underrated
Agree...it's a rockin' /awesome song!!!
Freddie’s scream towards the end of the song is out of this world
"The Works" is definitely one of my favorite Queen albums. Every song is awesome. Also, when Brian bites his lip like that it makes me feel things 😍
Me too
For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder
My favorite bit.
2:24 the cleanest line i have ever heard in music
The ultimate Queen track
Just turn it up and close your eyes .
One of my favourite songs of Queen
Deaky has so much sass, it's unreal
It is amazing how genre of music changed up through the years.
So everyone talks about Freddie being an amazing singer...Let's be real, literally everyone in the band was firing on all cylinders.
1:58 YEESSSSS WHAT A VOICEEEE WHAT A VOCALSS
THIS IS ROCK QUEEN STYLE ✨
In 100 Years Mankind will Remember Queen,Stones,Bowie,Doors,Michael Jackson and other Great! So Fantastic Music was that!
Queen will always be my favirote Band!! Freddie is definetely missed!!
Cant believe this will be 40 years old haha still a bangerr
