The guitarist with the "hair" is Sir Dr. Brian May (PhD Astrophysics) and he still has that same exact hair but now it is white and somewhat thinner but still his signature hair. This song was written by Freddie Mercury who is the lead singer and piano on this song. Al members of this band write songs and all have had multiple number 1 hits. This song is comprise of 3 songs Freddie had written but never completed all on a similar topic so he put them together as a rhapsody and this song was born. There are so many layers of multitracking on this song in order to create the sound of a choir from 3 voices that the tape it was recorded on was so thin you could literally see through it. I love this song, it is a masterpiece and this exact copy of the song has been number 1 in three different decades. Queen is outstanding, each member is at the top in their instrument and their writing skills are different with each of them so the variety of music from this band is wonderful. Recording this song was time consuming but making the video was quick only about 3 days from start to finish. Queen was going on tour and their song hit number 1. In the UK the only way to really advertist your song was through a TV show called Top Of The Pops and they would have the group responsible for the #1 song in studio each week that the song was number 1. They would have to lipsync to the recorded version but that was the deal. Well, Queen was on the road so they did this video, which was the first music video ever made for promotional purposes because this was long before MTv or any of those types of shows. TOTP was not happy about the video idea but they had to settle for it and this song stayed in the #1 position for 9 weeks. This song was done in pieces and other than Freddie, nobody in the band had any idea what the song was going to turn out as until it was completed. There were no rehearsals for this song, just piece by piece it was recorded. Thank you for our reaction. If you like switch ups, two other Queen songs that you will really like are March Of The Black Queen and Innuendo. Both switch up a lot and both are excellent songs.
Queen is the real thing, and there is NO ONE that can compare with Freddie. The first time I heard Queen is when I was in high school on the late 70s. I’m sure you have heard Queen before but just didn’t know who were listening to. If you ever went to a sporting event, you probably heard We are the Champions or We will Rock You. You just didn’t know it was Queen. My favorite Queen song is Don’t Stop Me Now.
Queen is one of the all time greatest bands but the last time I checked The Beatles are still regarded as the greatest and most influential band in the history of recorded music. Peace ❤
Freddie Mercury, lead vocals and piano; Sir Brian May Phd, backing vocals and guitar; Roger Taylor, backing vocals and drums; John Deacon, bass. All members played multiple instruments and wrote songs.
They all graduated from university and had careers out of music too. Brian May the physicist, made his own guitar at home, with his dad. Yes the one he is using here.
Love Queen when Freddie was still with us. My favorite song is one he wrote for the original movie Highlander. Who Wants to Live Forever, but his absolute best live performance, in my heart, has got to be Somebody To Love, in Montreal, Nov 24 1981. He passed the same day in 1991.
The onr thing that separates Queen from every other band is how versatile they were, you name the genre and Queen can do it brilliantly. We haven't even talked about the enormous talent of each individual of the band. For example, lead guitarist Brian May has his PhD in Astrophysics and was also Knighted a few years ago. His actual title is Sir Dr. Brian May PhD but the Queenies just call him Bri. We will forever love each and every one of then.💙🌈👑🫶
Freddie is such an amazing singer. This is one of their best songs. My absolute favorite though is Somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981. His performance is incredible. It’s definitely a must watch!
No matter the style at the time, Freddie always preferred to wear white so that someone standing at the very back of the crowd could see him. He didn’t want any part of the audience to feel left out.
There are no harmonies at the beginning it's just Freddie, only in the middle section will you hear Roger high voice, and this is 1975 so it's the fashion of the day, and everything Freddie is wearing and his piano plus lyrics sold last year for over 4 million pounds sterling, I first heard the group back when they started getting airplay which was a couple of years before this. All four write, play different instruments, and in Freddie own words he's just the lead singer as many think it's his group
Those absolutely are harmonies at the beginning. Whether it's four different singers together or one singer being overdubbed, those ARE harmonies. The middle section is also massively overdubbed, of course - but you DO get the different voices with the standout being Roger's falsetto.
@@Pixelologistyes harmonies, but all Freddie, singing with himself. IF it is the fashion of the day, it was stage fashion, his outfit was made by the fashion designer icon Zandra Rhodes.
Check the documentary with the Brian May in the studio listening to the original tapes and layered recordings. Genius in a time with so much limited recording options!
Saw them in February of '77 in Springfield Mass. Thin Lizzy opening act! To this day one of the best concerts I've ever seen! Started their set with " Tie Your Mother Down " and covered "Jailhouse Rock " and " Hey, Big Spender !" For the encore !!
Freddie owned the stage and this is the most epic song ever! This came out in 1975 when I was 15. It was all over the radio. This video came out 6 years before MTV, it was before it's time creatively. Freddie had 4 extra teeth. He never had them removed because he didn't want to do anything that might affect his performance. The guitarist, Brian May, built that guitar with his father from materials they had at their house.
Watch Somebody to Love LIVE - Montreal or Rio. Also each band member has written at least number one hit for the band. They write their own & NOBODY ever does their songs better.
Thos groyp cannot be put into a box, they sing in all areas. This was the first music video. This song was written by Freddie Mercury the lead singer,they created until Freddie's death in 1991 from Aids. Their 20 year career was wonderful producing over 300 songs in 14 albums excluding greatest hit, live albums etc. All members were graduates,each member wrote a hit which was inducted to the Rock hall of fame. My journey began with them in 71 when they were formed, I was blown away by the song Liar written again by Freddie long before Queen. This song twists and turns with each member given a chance to showcase their talent. it's a band you havev to watch live,until 86 when they stopped touring because if Freddie's health,though they continued to write albums and make videos until a few months before Freddie died. He even sang vocals to he used on an album following his death,yhe other members finished off with the music etc. I recommend Liar live at the Rainbow 1974 Father and son at the same concert Save me live at Montreal 1981 Someone to love Milton Keynes live 1982 Chat back live from the same concert Live aid set live Wembley 1985 Just about any song from Wembley 1986 Especially Now I'm here. If you're still awake well done. Great reaction this old lady's excited for what you find. Blessings from England xx
1st song I heard from Queen was Killer Queen 1974. Been a queenie since. Freddie Mercury lead singer, Dr Brian May guitar vocals, Roger Taylor drums vocals and John Deacon bass and some vocals
Me too. I ran to Sam Goody's & bought "Shear Heart Attack". I've been a Queen fan for 50 years. I love the song "Tenement Funster" 😊RIP FREDDIE 🪽🕊️🙏✌️🌻🌻
Saw and heard this video for the first time late 1975, in the family room of a class mate that I was going to take to a school dance evening. I knew Queen from their previous hit Killer Queen, but this blew my mind. Dutch national radio organises yearly a top 2000 since the year 2000, based upon voting by listeners and broadcast between Christmas and New Years Eve, and most time this song ends up on number one.
"Liar" from the 1974 TV concert is excellent, as is "White Queen" written by the guitarist, Brian May 1975 TV performance. I enjoyed your commentary. Thank you, I hope you review more Queen including more from the 1970's. Their music changed in the 80's to a more pop, commercial vibe, which was also excellent. Their bassist wrote "Another One Bites the Dust" which you may be familiar with, and each member wrote at least one song for the Highlander film, which offers an interesting video.
My close favourite to Bohemian Rhapsody - and the first Queen song/ video I ever consciously watched, though I'd probably seen them once or twice on TV back in the day - is White Queen - Live at Hammersmith Odeon, 1975. I'd met Freddie and Roger at the Kensington Market in London where they had a stall a couple of years before this came out (and just before their first album was released) but never followed the band. Only discovered them a few years ago and realised who those friendly guys all those years ago were!
Best rabbit hole you'll ever go down. Try nailing them to a genre... It's like trying to nail jelly to a post 😊. If you use Queen official vids you don't have to pause (future reference)
Watch Queen at Live Aid. You'll get a few of their songs. They are amazing at writing their own lyrics and music. You were just introduced to Rock opera. That's what Queen called it. They layered their voices many times. Rhapsody means blending different types of music.
1975 was the year of Bohemian Rhapsoody. The year the world changed for the better. I grew up with Queen. Queen was Ffeeddie best singer ever, Brian on guitar, a genius, John on Bass fantastic, and Roger on Drums. As well as all that, they are all great singers in their right.
How famous is this song? Check out the 70,000 Green Day audience 2017 singing this from start to finish (including the guitar solos) word perfect. It's impressive!
Thanks, Rob - the original is astonishing... so glad you had headphones.. very important to fully appreciate... you most certainly know LOTS of Queen songs.. really like your reaction and look forward to more... Thank you, in particular for recognizing that this a whole band.. not just Freddie (fantastic vocals and style) but every member; in fact, each of them have written #1 songs... hope you continue!
I❤ur reaction 2 this song. Freddie was a true showman in every sense of the word with his stage presence & singing, then there's Brian May-backing vocals & lead guitar; Roger-backing vocals & drums; John-backing vocals & bass. U should definitely check out their 'Live Aid' performance, it's incredible. RIP Freddie Mercury, he may be gone but he will NEVER b 4goten, we miss u & love u!
Please react to Somebody To Love Montreal 1981. Phenomenal performance by the entire band! Live Aid is of course mandatory, and 39 years later is ranked the best live performance in Rock history. ♥️👑🎸🎤🎹🥁
I was the first in my circle of friends yo discover Queen. "Shear Heart attack" is an amazing album. Tenement Funster is my favorite. Freddie Mercury was a once in a lifetime performer. RIP FREDDIE 🪽🕊️🙏✌️🌻🌻
The first time I heard Queen I was when We Will Rock You was first getting radio play around '78. I was just a little kid... but like everyone I liked the stomp, stomp, clap opening. 🤘👑 My favorite song, however, is Don't Stop Me Now.
I got my parents to buy this for me for my 16th birthday. I played it over and over on the record player. The whole album. They heard it and became concerned Lol😅
The song was based on the novel "The Tragedy of Faust" by Goethe. As for my favorite song, that would be another song on this album, called "The Prophet's Song."
The first time I heard the song was in 1975 when it first came on the radio. It's not the group singing in the beginning. That is all Freddie doing all the parts and putting it all together himself. Queen is glam rock. I would like to see you do a reaction on Bohemian Rhapsody the movie. It is about the band and how they started and the progression of their rise to stardom. It gives you a lot of insight as to what the band is about even though there are things in the movie that aren't correct.
they cross genres and I think they will appeal to you. there’s so much talent in this group. Somebody to Love is my favorite song. Montreal 1981 is the best version. Their live music is to die for. Better than their studio recorded videos.
If the "opera" part of this Rock Opera is fascinating to you, I'd be happy to suggest a few short classical pieces that have been famous for centuries. As you see, opera can be exciting! New sub!
Queen/Freddie Mecury are legendary, yes, before my time, but you need to check out a live concert, Somebody to love live in Montreal. ❤ Subscribed for more Queen. Queen favorite from past, Falling in Reverse favorite for todays time
One fact that may help in placing this song in the musical sprectrum, is that it comes from an Album released in 1975 that Freddy Mercury entitled "A Night At The Opera" 🙂🙂If you don't know Queen, you will find that, amongst other things, they were VERY operatic in style. Have you seen "Somebody to Love" live at Montreal in 1981? If not, you need to. Often called the greatest live video ever (with the possible exception of Led Zeppelin live at Madison Square Garden in 1973). "th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=queen+live+somebody+to+love+montreal"
You need to watchnthe movie Bohemian Rapsody. It tells how Fredfie joined the band. The making of several sings plus Bohemian Rapsody and ends with Live Aid Concert.
Oh Dude, almost any band from the 70s and 80s can harmonize! New to the channel, so I don't know if you've ever seen or heard of Earth Wind and Fire? The Eagles? Journey? Van Halen, with one of THE best guitar players in the world!
You need to check out more Led Zeppelin, I see you checked out Whole Lotta Love, they have so many great songs. Studio song try You Shook Me, 3 solos keyboards harmonica & guitar, with amazing vocals & drums. Great lives, Madison Square Gardens anything, but I love Since I’ve Been Loving You. Live at Earls Court, the May 25,1975 version of In My Time Of Dying, best date for visuals & audio. I hope you give them more chances, you won’t be disappointed, I promise.
Putting all the credit to Freddie only is wrong. Brian "the brain" May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon were part of this group. The project of Bohemian Rapsody was complex. This song is not just a song, it is a vision of how music can built something that seems to be unbuiltedable. Find it out: Queen does it.
If you play the Queen Official videos they don't get blocked. Queen wants everyone to hear their music.
This song is 50 years old, a classic!
Thanks for watching
50 years old next year released 31st of October 1975.
49....🙂

Not all of us watching and screaming “just wait” as he’s talking about the instrumentals 😂

I’m sure you have heard Queen before but just didn’t know who were listening to. If you ever went to a sporting event, you probably heard We are the Champions or We will Rock You. You just didn’t know it was Queen. My favorite Queen song is Don’t Stop Me Now.
Don't Stop me Now - it's physically *impossible* to keep a bad mood when listening to this... 😜
All 4 members of queen write their songs. Everyone of them wrote number 1 songs for queen. Freddie Mercury, lead singer, wrote this song.
QUEEN!!!! THE BEST GROUP EVER!!! BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES!!!
Queen is one of the all time greatest bands but the last time I checked The Beatles are still regarded as the greatest and most influential band in the history of recorded music.
Peace ❤
You probably know a dozen Queen songs, We will Rock you, We are the champions, Another one bites the dust, etc. They wrote all their own music.
Anyone who's ever been to a professional sports event has heard "We Will Rock You."
Oh yeah, he knows Queen, he just doesn't KNOW he knowsQueen...🤙🤣🤙🍻💞
💯
Welcome to the Queen rabbit hole you have so much to look forward to. Somebody to Love is one you should do
Don't Stop Me Now
This song is considered the best song ever made
Qeen does not block their videos from their official channel. In other words, no need to pause, cover with a mask, etc.
Freddie Mercury, lead vocals and piano; Sir Brian May Phd, backing vocals and guitar; Roger Taylor, backing vocals and drums; John Deacon, bass. All members played multiple instruments and wrote songs.
They all graduated from university and had careers out of music too. Brian May the physicist, made his own guitar at home, with his dad. Yes the one he is using here.
I hear that he still plays it to this day.
This is the ultimate ‘coming out to your parents’ song. It was brave & at the time, revolutionary. It’s still a revelation.
Love Queen when Freddie was still with us. My favorite song is one he wrote for the original movie Highlander. Who Wants to Live Forever, but his absolute best live performance, in my heart, has got to be Somebody To Love, in Montreal, Nov 24 1981. He passed the same day in 1991.
Brian wrote who wants to live forever xx
love young people discovering Queen, I'm nearly 70, and they are just as relevant today
Yea... I'm 63 and I agree. I was in high school when this came out in '75
Sane here, I was 16 when I saw Queen for the first time! I still love them just as much, if not more, today !
Check out Live Aid Queen performance
Freddy Mercury, the lead singer wrote the song as three individual pieces of music.
Thanks for watching
The onr thing that separates Queen from every other band is how versatile they were, you name the genre and Queen can do it brilliantly.

All 4 members wrote number one songs.
i would suggest their Live Aid performance.
Check the documentary with the Brian May in the studio listening to the original tapes and layered recordings. Genius in a time with so much limited recording options!
Watch the Live Aid performance. One of the best live performances ever!
I saw them as a teenager back in the 80s at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum. They are even more awesome in person.
Versatility?. . . Hold my beer.
Saw them in February of '77 in Springfield Mass. Thin Lizzy opening act!
To this day one of the best concerts I've ever seen!
Started their set with " Tie Your Mother Down " and covered "Jailhouse Rock " and " Hey, Big Spender !" For the encore !!
No computers back in the 60s. This song was built track by track. Layered. The tape was likely very thin near the end.
Freddie owned the stage and this is the most epic song ever! This came out in 1975 when I was 15. It was all over the radio. This video came out 6 years before MTV, it was before it's time creatively. Freddie had 4 extra teeth. He never had them removed because he didn't want to do anything that might affect his performance. The guitarist, Brian May, built that guitar with his father from materials they had at their house.
Watch Somebody to Love LIVE - Montreal or Rio.
Also each band member has written at least number one hit for the band. They write their own & NOBODY ever does their songs better.
Saw them live, Memphis TN, 1977, amazing!!! 😃
Freddie Mercury, lead singer, has the best vocals ever. He's considered the best singer of all time.
Queen sings all genres.
Really, Queen is a genre.
Thos groyp cannot be put into a box, they sing in all areas. This was the first music video. This song was written by Freddie Mercury the lead singer,they created until Freddie's death in 1991 from Aids. Their 20 year career was wonderful producing over 300 songs in 14 albums excluding greatest hit, live albums etc. All members were graduates,each member wrote a hit which was inducted to the Rock hall of fame.
My journey began with them in 71 when they were formed, I was blown away by the song Liar written again by Freddie long before Queen. This song twists and turns with each member given a chance to showcase their talent. it's a band you havev to watch live,until 86 when they stopped touring because if Freddie's health,though they continued to write albums and make videos until a few months before Freddie died. He even sang vocals to he used on an album following his death,yhe other members finished off with the music etc.
I recommend
Liar live at the Rainbow 1974
Father and son at the same concert
Save me live at Montreal 1981
Someone to love Milton Keynes live 1982
Chat back live from the same concert
Live aid set live Wembley 1985
Just about any song from Wembley 1986
Especially Now I'm here.
If you're still awake well done. Great reaction this old lady's excited for what you find.
Blessings from England xx
I was in a sludge band in the 80s. Sludge turned into grunge. All of it came from punk. All punks grew up on 60s and 70s big rock bands.
1st song I heard from Queen was Killer Queen 1974. Been a queenie since. Freddie Mercury lead singer, Dr Brian May guitar vocals, Roger Taylor drums vocals and John Deacon bass and some vocals
Me too. I ran to Sam Goody's & bought "Shear Heart Attack". I've been a Queen fan for 50 years. I love the song "Tenement Funster" 😊RIP FREDDIE 🪽🕊️🙏✌️🌻🌻
Saw and heard this video for the first time late 1975, in the family room of a class mate that I was going to take to a school dance evening. I knew Queen from their previous hit Killer Queen, but this blew my mind. Dutch national radio organises yearly a top 2000 since the year 2000, based upon voting by listeners and broadcast between Christmas and New Years Eve, and most time this song ends up on number one.
Look at their Life preformance. That IS were Queen shines
Seven seas of rye. I was 13 years old. I'm now 65. Queen.
Queen live at Live Aid will blow your mind. It's long, but well worth it. Considered best live concert ever. ❤
"Liar" from the 1974 TV concert is excellent, as is "White Queen" written by the guitarist, Brian May 1975 TV performance. I enjoyed your commentary. Thank you, I hope you review more Queen including more from the 1970's. Their music changed in the 80's to a more pop, commercial vibe, which was also excellent. Their bassist wrote "Another One Bites the Dust" which you may be familiar with, and each member wrote at least one song for the Highlander film, which offers an interesting video.
Ive seen these live twice. Truly amazing. Legendary Queen. Brilliant writers of songs.been a fan since early 70s. So talented.xx
Freddie loved opera.
you're listening to greatness.
Thx for some Queen ! Please Check out Somebody to Love live in Montréal thx!
My close favourite to Bohemian Rhapsody - and the first Queen song/ video I ever consciously watched, though I'd probably seen them once or twice on TV back in the day - is
White Queen - Live at Hammersmith Odeon, 1975.

1st heard: Bohemian Rhapsody
Favorite: live 1981 Somebody to Love
2nd fav: studio somebody to love
Love this for you. Everyone needs to be a Queen fan lol
I also love how EVERYONE who listens to this has an autonomic physical response (head bob) when the third movement comes in.
Saw them live in 1976 in Berkeley.
Voiceplay. A capella with some of the most amazing harmonies
Watch Queen at Live Aid. You'll get a few of their songs. They are amazing at writing their own lyrics and music. You were just introduced to Rock opera. That's what Queen called it. They layered their voices many times. Rhapsody means blending different types of music.

This band is one of the best Freddie Mercury’s vocals are like no one else. Check out somebody to love and we will rock you.
Great song and sound WITHOUT autotune.
Would be great to watch you react to Queen live at the Rainbow Theatre 1974 singing 'Liar'. You will be equally amazed
I❤ur reaction 2 this song. Freddie was a true showman in every sense of the word with his stage presence & singing, then there's Brian May-backing vocals & lead guitar; Roger-backing vocals & drums; John-backing vocals & bass. U should definitely check out their 'Live Aid' performance, it's incredible. RIP Freddie Mercury, he may be gone but he will NEVER b 4goten, we miss u & love u!
People can sing every word to this day. A crowd waiting for Greenday sang it and it was recorded.
Please react to Somebody To Love Montreal 1981. Phenomenal performance by the entire band! Live Aid is of course mandatory, and 39 years later is ranked the best live performance in Rock history. ♥️👑🎸🎤🎹🥁
This video was made for Top of the pops as they were unable to appear. Iconic.
I was the first in my circle of friends yo discover Queen. "Shear Heart attack" is an amazing album. Tenement Funster is my favorite. Freddie Mercury was a once in a lifetime performer. RIP FREDDIE 🪽🕊️🙏✌️🌻🌻
The first time I heard Queen I was when We Will Rock You was first getting radio play around '78. I was just a little kid... but like everyone I liked the stomp, stomp, clap opening. 🤘👑
My favorite song, however, is Don't Stop Me Now.
I heard Don't Try Suicide first, but my all-time favourite song is Somebody to Love... especially ANY & ALL versions performed live!
Watch the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. The actor who played the lead singer won an Oscar.
This is hands down the GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME. This and HOTEL CALIFORNIA from the EAGLES.
I got my parents to buy this for me for my 16th birthday. I played it over and over on the record player. The whole album. They heard it and became concerned Lol😅
Bohemian Rhapsody is a suite, consisting of three movements. :)
hop on the Queen Train it’s a journey you won’t regret!
You have probably have heard their song "FAT BOTTOM GIRLS". It is a classic!!!
LOVE your reaction. Hope you get into Queen.
The song was based on the novel "The Tragedy of Faust" by Goethe. As for my favorite song, that would be another song on this album, called "The Prophet's Song."
The first time I heard the song was in 1975 when it first came on the radio. It's not the group singing in the beginning. That is all Freddie doing all the parts and putting it all together himself. Queen is glam rock. I would like to see you do a reaction on Bohemian Rhapsody the movie. It is about the band and how they started and the progression of their rise to stardom. It gives you a lot of insight as to what the band is about even though there are things in the movie that aren't correct.
Love your reaction. More Queen please!
What Freddie is wearing is not an outfit. It is a costume. I'm fairly certain that it wasn't street clothes. ❤️✌️
they cross genres and I think they will appeal to you. there’s so much talent in this group. Somebody to Love is my favorite song. Montreal 1981 is the best version. Their live music is to die for. Better than their studio recorded videos.
Try the 1985 Live Aid concert it’s one of the best, i
You will get a lot of views with Queen. This song is a classic masterpiece by Freddie Mercury. Check out Pentatonix for a terrific a cappella version.
Thanks for watching ❤️
I frist heard them when i was a child in the late 70'sbut thats rhe first time i remember. But aure i heard them before then
If the "opera" part of this Rock Opera is fascinating to you, I'd be happy to suggest a few short classical pieces that have been famous for centuries. As you see, opera can be exciting! New sub!
Queen/Freddie Mecury are legendary, yes, before my time, but you need to check out a live concert, Somebody to love live in Montreal. ❤ Subscribed for more Queen. Queen favorite from past, Falling in Reverse favorite for todays time
👍👍 Freddie is the Goat. ❤️☮️
One fact that may help in placing this song in the musical sprectrum, is that it comes from an Album released in 1975 that Freddy Mercury entitled "A Night At The Opera" 🙂🙂If you don't know Queen, you will find that, amongst other things, they were VERY operatic in style. Have you seen "Somebody to Love" live at Montreal in 1981? If not, you need to. Often called the greatest live video ever (with the possible exception of Led Zeppelin live at Madison Square Garden in 1973).

These guys are GOATS ❤
Early 70's 1st time but not last time❤
You need to watchnthe movie Bohemian Rapsody. It tells how Fredfie joined the band. The making of several sings plus Bohemian Rapsody and ends with Live Aid Concert.
Oh Dude, almost any band from the 70s and 80s can harmonize! New to the channel, so I don't know if you've ever seen or heard of Earth Wind and Fire? The Eagles? Journey? Van Halen, with one of THE best guitar players in the world!
I would recommend Someone to love , I would recommend the studio version then the live version at Montreal 81
Just subscribed. Queen's rabbit hole is the best. You need to keep going!!!
You need to check out more Led Zeppelin, I see you checked out Whole Lotta Love, they have so many great songs. Studio song try You Shook Me, 3 solos keyboards harmonica & guitar, with amazing vocals & drums. Great lives, Madison Square Gardens anything, but I love Since I’ve Been Loving You. Live at Earls Court, the May 25,1975 version of In My Time Of Dying, best date for visuals & audio. I hope you give them more chances, you won’t be disappointed, I promise.
It’s “Grunge” not grudge.
You really need to watch the TH-cam video "Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody [Live in Hyde Park 2017]".
There really is no "better" song - others might have a favorite, but this is the measuring stick by which all rock songs are judged.
Great King Rat from their first album.
Its an opera in one song.
Putting all the credit to Freddie only is wrong. Brian "the brain" May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon were part of this group. The project of Bohemian Rapsody was complex. This song is not just a song, it is a vision of how music can built something that seems to be unbuiltedable.
Find it out: Queen does it.
