FIRST TIME HEARING Queen We will rock you Montreal 1981 REACTION

[@stephanietip]

The only man on the planet who could go on stage barefoot,no shirt and wearing bootie shorts and nobody bats an eye

[@lipby]

I had no idea that the lead singer in a band named Queen was gay.

[@gabsrants]

I, for one, can´t take my eyes off of his ass - that´s the Queen´s ass.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

back in those days, that was normal cut size for shorts, not these half pants bs today

[@tonyabomia7217]

That was Freddie.

[@tonyabomia7217]

@@gabsrants He had great one didn't he?

[@imweakfordeaky]

Not only did Queen sing “We Are The Champions” - Freddie *wrote* it. ( Brian wrote the “We Will Rock You” one... both are Sports-Rock staples!)

[@sharonhalliday3180]

And John Deacon, the bass player, wrote Another One Bites the Dust, I am sure you will recognize that one

[@MAGIKMARTIAN9526]

Played at every sporting event, all the way to high school bands , and we will rock you can be done with students and bleacher stomps.

[@andrewwoodard8340]

That face when you realize, that's what I watch for!

[@duwaynes7529]

Not many people realize how many great songs were written by Queen

[@janeycalver4227]

All babies in the UK are taught all the lyrics, to everyone of their songs, in the Womb.

[@kidspack3taylor420]

DuWayne S so many wonderful ones ! ❤️

[@fryke]

"Not many" in this case meaning at least hundreds of millions of fans around the world, I guess, @DuWayne S?

[@m2ad18]

Biggest band in the world for over a decade.. I dare say that suggest a lot of people know how many great hits Queen have. Or is this an American comments section?

[@m2ad18]

Not many people realize some of their songs hidden in albums would have been hits for anyone else.. stormtrooper in stilettos

[@sylviafarese8837]

Both We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions are original Queen songs.

[@sherryarflin726]

The single best front man of any era!!!!!

[@janematthews3394]

Yeah, Freddie wrote "We are the Champions" in 1977. And Brian May wrote "We wll rock you".

[@herrzimm]

5:10 The moment your mind explodes when you realize the band you are "first time hearing" is actually a band you have been hearing your ENTIRE LIFE!

[@allanbluzdude]

Another one Bites the Dust is another Queen song played at sporting events

[@YankeeBlues21]

It’s also the reason “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor exists.
Sylvester Stallone wanted the opening to Rocky 3 to be played with “Another One Bites The Dust”, but Queen’s licensing fee turned out to be too high for the film’s budget. The opening was already filmed, so they went out and got a little known band to write a song that had a similar tune so that it fit with the scenes.

[@pamelajordan5948]

Lost. Him to soon😫

[@mmaaddict78]

@@YankeeBlues21 That's a great bit of information. I never knew about that. Thanks.

[@fidel2xl]

Bro, Queen is one of the most influential iconic groups in music history. I grew up in Trinidad & Tobago (Caribbean) in the 1980s listening mostly to Hip Hop, and even as a kid I remember my dad and uncles oftentimes playing Queen at home on the stereo, in their cars, and hearing their music all over the radio in T&T. And my home country was mostly Calypso/Soca/and Reggae btw. But good music is good music. I feel so lucky being exposed to so many genres of music (pretty much all genres...even those songs and groups well before my time) while growing up back in T&T.

[@blackbutterfly638]

Freddie Mercury the best front man for a legendary band R.I.P. my dude you are still the hands down the best.

[@thezoe22100]

Lol that face when he realized Queen made We Are The Champions nice! 😂
React to - Killer Queen, Another One Bites The Dust, Sheer Heart Attack.

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

I think you must watch queen live aid. They’re part of the concert is about 24 minutes long and your mind will be blown away.🤯🤯🤯 Freddie Mercury the best front man in history queen The whole band and every member is unbelievable. Good luck on your journey loved your reaction.❤️😀👍✌️🌼Love and peace.

[@Ledhead775]

Just so you know, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" are two different songs, but they combined them for this performance. Both are great songs and if you want, you should probably listen to the full versions of both songs.

[@MariahTahmisian]

AGREED

[@3DJapan]

They wanted to make a song that the audience can participate in.

[@PamelaNiemi]

I love your reactions to Queen...they were my band growing up and its really nice to see a new generation enjoy Freddie's legacy. thank you

[@DrBoneright]

All worth it for the reaction face at 5:09 LOL Oh now I know why I'm here....LOL

[@pollynicklas5220]

I was lucky enough to see Queen when I was 22 - it was 1982!!!

[@charliemac64]

Polly Nicklas same year for me, but I was 18. So lucky to have seen them. :)

[@ravenofroses]

one of my favorite things about people reacting to queen's music is moments like this where they realize they recognize the song and it's like "wait, QUEEN did that???"

[@moviegirl1100]

I love watching someone discover Queen for the first time, I always wait for the "wait they sing this?" moment when people realize that they have heard Queen before they just don't realize it.

[@geraldherrmann787]

two original queen songs, even neck to neck on the same album

[@cyberwolf_1013]

I love it when people get that stunned look on their faces when they hear We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. It's like "This is Queen? I hear this all the time." And a bolt of lightning strikes their brains. 🤯😆

[@micheleferrazzani638]

Yes. You'll want to hear "ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST" It might be another one you've at sporting events.

[@andreamack7867]

THE BEST BAND. EVER. I was lucky enough to see them live in their last concert with Freddie. We had no idea he was becoming sick

[@reginakapaeva205]

You urgently need to watch Live Aid 1985. Best concert ever!

[@sharon32652]

Queen's music is used on more movies and sporting events, and even media than any other band!

[@MrClanger1968]

Another one for reaction to the whole of Queens set at Live Aid. Music Legend right for your musical delight.

[@juliananelson475]

Queen- Dragon Attack, live MOntreal!

[@mochiluvr6753]

I'm loving your Queen journey. You seemed really unsure on your first reaction but you did pick up on that Queen vibe and seemed surprised that you liked it. Despite being around when all this music came out and loving it I have only recently realized Freddie was one of the best performers ever and I appreciate his vocals even more. These reactions are always fun, watching young people discover bands for the first time and going outside their comfort zone to do it. Keep building Rome and when the Coliseum is finished start having the annual rock festivals.

[@StellaMedina19]

They ended every concert with this song! Love to Brian, Roger and John, Miss U a Lot beloved Freddie RIP

[@BuinidhMoChridheDoAlba]

Freddie was the best front man, no one comes close. No one has ever been able to command a crowd like he does.

[@karencogs1]

I saw Queen back in 1981 but in Hartford Ct.One of the best concert I ever saw!! ❤️❤️

[@karlmcgowan9375]

Thanks to my brother, This is the music I was brought up to in the '70s and I thank him for that.

[@angelatheriault8855]

That’s the funny thing about Queen, even when you think you don’t know Queen, you really already do.

[@RubyTwilite]

We Are The Champions was released 44 YEARS AGO! They wrote it and like everything else, made it legendary!

[@sheiladrucker6872]

James, I love your positive vibes! Enjoy all the music as we did in the 70's!

[@stacybalson]

Would love to subscribe but I can't hear you. Please adjust your volume or change microphones. I can't be the only one that has to jack up the volume and turn it down when the music starts. If anyone else is having this issue hit like or something to let him know.

[@danielmiller8156]

Same here. But at least now I can hear the music video, so props for the improvement.

[@eddierolin872]

I agree... there's probably some compensate settings that you can adjust. I feel like I'm going up on volume to hear you speak, but video over compensates once you start/unpause it.

[@Gantzz321]

its is not his mic, because the balance of the video and his mic is perfect, he just have the output turned down. I complain every video and am about to just say enough and stop coming here.

[@dotell8925]

Hard to hear him!!! But, can hear video of Queen.

[@robmoreau3272]

agree. with headphones its better though

[@steffaniebrian4344]

I loved as a kid hearing we will rock you come on and knew we are the champions would automatically come on right after :)

[@MrsHippyfreak]

I love your reaction every time you realize where a familiar song originated!!

[@moonchild6750]

Love Freddie forever!!!!

[@TheLadyDraconus]

You can’t go to ANY sporting event without hearing this song......

[@3DJapan]

I wondered how long it would take you to recognize it.

[@kristinakath8441]

Queen is iconic. Please watch ALL of their songs. Whether it is on your channel or privately. They were amazing.

[@Angivel]

"The show must go on" is tied with Bohemian Rhapsody for their best song

[@jaygarrison7848]

You caught Freddie live. He was incomparable

[@picolo4102]

Check out another one bites the dust, under pressure, you may have heard them

[@farfromperfek]

He's done both already.

[@oakleysmithmusic]

My favorite Queen songs . The guitarist is now a Astronomy scientist now .

[@taradee9498]

I was wondering when you were finally going to realize how big of an influence Queen has had in the world!!

[@bosvigos9165]

Fabulous Queen! And another... Christie Hynd, Pretenders and Hymn to Her... please, it’s AMAZING!

[@karenlobosco9646]

React to their entire performance at Live Aid .

[@Armadaonion]

I love watching people realize that Queen wrote songs they know from just everywhere. One second it's "I never heard of Queen," the next it's "I can sing this song by heart, this was Queen?!?!?!?!"

[@carlosfer2201]

The amount of hits they had is legendary.

[@lizhasbrouck1376]

I was 22 yrs old when Bohemian Rhapsody was released (1975), and instantly began a huge fan. Sadly, I never saw them in concert. The 1981 Montreal concert is legendary...especially for their performance of "Somebody to Love." "Queen's Greatest Hits" is my go-to when I want to be energized...and sing along. And definitely watch the movie," Bohemian Rhapsody," released in 2018.

[@DJ_LP_ViBE]

Your face when you realized Queen was the band that made We Are The Champions was PRICELESS!

[@pmpk-gy4cu]

I honestly think that my favourite thing in any Queen reaction video is the "they sing that" moment!

[@jfk64kennedy95]

We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions are back to back on album and play as one song, just like they did here live, on the album, it very rare to hear one without the other, other than sports championship celebrations.
You should give a listen to their song 'Sheer Heart Attack', rarely seen reacted too and a fast, hard rocker

[@casmckay8034]

Freddy killed it live every single time ...the best

[@kidspack3taylor420]

There is no bad Queen song ! Queen , the best band ever !❤️. Dragon attack is a great song to react to , but any Queen song would be great !

[@ritadawkins3664]

Freddy has a wonderful catalog!!!..if you get a chance to see queen live at live aid you will see how he controls the crowd...he has always been able to have the crown eating out of his hands ( so to speak)

[@michaeldunn5526]

Can see you love Queen, they are true artists. If you havent already, watch Bohemian Rhapsody movie then listen to Days of Our Lives and Innuendo which were recorded at the end of Freddies life. Amazing movie and songs. Live Aid 85, queen rocked the entire planet and it lifted them to stratospheric levels of fame.

[@joeclassic1971]

I love Freddy's voice. A song that really showcases it is their megahit Who Wants to Live Forever. Every time I hear it, it gives me chills.

[@tekahendrickson3403]

I’m surprised it took you that long to recognize these songs.... they’re played at every sporting event.... ever

[@despina8704]

So much GREAT music from this fantastic group ... we love you all from LONDON 💖

[@chatterboxjan8]

queen has a song for every occasion.........

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

The look on your face when you found out that queen sang we are the champions Is priceless. I have gone back and watched it 5 or 6 times and after this comment I'm gonna go back and watch it another 5 times. We will rock you was specifically written because Freddie wanted a song that got the audience involved. He was very much into Bringing the audience into the performance. If you've already reacted to Their 1985 live aid performance, or if you're going to react to it which I highly recommend, There are 70,000 people in that stadium. Freddie held each in every 1 of them in the palm of his hand. You said If there was A particular group or video that we wanted you to react to then to put it in the comments and the more time do you see it in the comments then the better the chance that you will actually React to it. I'm just going on the basis that you have already reacted to queens bohemian rhapsody official video. If you have it do so now and then watch Pentatonix cover of bohemian rhapsody.

[@jimilove7773]

QUEEN! Thanks for sharing you're thoughts! Much Love!

I would love to see a reaction to Queen's PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE

Got to see Queen in the late 80s, Freddy was in his shorts and towel attire and was epic, he gave every ounce of energy he had. He looked healthy, but we knew so little about AIDS then and there were almost no treatments

[@lovelisascooking7640]

I hope you are doing your music history studying! I love how such a young man really does his best to get almost every type of music! You are a lovely man!

[@mdunawaym]

I was lucky enough to see them live a few times! With Freddie!

Freddie - one of the very few men in history who continues to strut while standing still. Oh, for the day when he is simply an icon, unqualified.

[@barbaraladouceur6305]

I LOVE that the video takes up the whole screen, and I only watch Queen reactions, so I'm definately subscribing. 😊

[@nmgal8543]

It's hard to search so maybe you already did, but the "Someone to Love" from this same concert is extremely good

[@Gertje1968bel]

Hard to rally up anyone more than We Will Rock You. It almost feels like it’s ready to send you out to war, AND YOU’RE GONNA WIN MAN.✊🏼

[@Devila103]

You should watch the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody”. It’s a movie about Freddie Mercury and Queen. If you haven’t reacted to the song “Bohemian Rhapsody”, watch it, too.

[@fryke]

Certainly not at this point. If the fact that We are the champions was written by Freddie was still news to him, the biopic would put far too many errors and misconceptions into his mind. I'd suggest watching a good documentary or two instead. The biopic is a fun dramatisation with history-changing timelines that don't line up at all. It's okay to watch if you _know_ the real order of things, I guess. But before that... Strong no.

[@Devila103]

Patrick Armbruster, good point. It would also expose him to songs he hasn’t reacted to yet.
