Love your interpretations but the song dates from 1975, well before the AIDS epidemic. Apparently the lyrics were personal to him but he never made the meaning clear. Powerful in any case. Great channel!
That goes without saying…
So I was misinformed on the whole concept of the song and I saw it twice I’m hurt!!
@@MrVideo123 Some people say it's about him comin' out as gay, but I'm still not sure thou it matches the lyrics.
@@MrVideo123 i thought the same thing until I watched the movie, guess we're both idiots.
Actually this was 3 songs he was writing then he decided to put the 3 song into one this is finished results
Fat Bottom Girls by Queen would be funny after something so heavy.
Live at Milton Keynes 1982
I love that song!
Big Bottom
YES!!! Fat Bottom Girls is an AWESOME song!!! Definitely a must!!!
Angelina’s rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody and the show must go on a totally incredible. Nobody has covered them as well as this girl.
Freddie’s favorite instrument to play? “The audience, darling!”
Such a legend, gone way too soon.
Love it, so true.
Freddie never sold his soul either. He was always true to himself. He did what Freddie wanted to do.
You can’t know for sure though
Oh yes he did.
Oh he did. He had a phase where he hung out with real shit people in Germany instead of his band members
@R Lu , nice mouth 👍🏻
He sold his soul to K'barbagg 'the Plutonion Menace' Johnson. Also known as 'oh my God i think the government is spying on me through the devices implanted underneath my skin. I'm getting my razor blade." Lawrence.
You two headbanging on the couch is giving me "Wayne's World" and "Beavis and Butthead" flashbacks!!!! LMAO
how could it be anything BUT Wayne's World with this song lol this song is the Wayne's World anthem :D
Exactly!
Nice.
Totally Wayne's World.
TRUER WORDS HAVEN'T BEEN SPOKEN
❤❤❤ FREDDY !
“This ain’t no ordinary white-boy classic rock song. He took his time & constructed this joint”
The way you worded that... it’s brilliant
Greatest "QUOTE" ever! 😂
Maybe it's Freddie's Parsi-Indian heritage.
lol that was a good one
Amazing how closed minded and casually raycist blatts are against whytes.
And he's not even white. He's closer to being Indian.
The guy on guitar is Brian May. He has a doctorate in astrophysics and contributed to NASA's New Horizons space probe. Pretty talented guy too.
Also he built his own guitar with his father
Yea.... Slightly talented lol
And an author on classical 3D devil art.
Brian May wrote the Bohemian Rhapsody guitar solo
He also BUILT that guitar he's playing. 😁💕
Leo singing the words to Bohemian Rhapsody is everything!
Yes!! I want to know what other songs he's learned by heart in the past year.
Makes me play-Auntie proud!
Priceless! It warmed my heart.❤
😃❤️...brings back memories of us as youngsters singing every word when it came out lol.
Seriously. Watching him sing along and rock out to it gave me the laugh I needed all day. His excitement is contagious!
Freddie put this together..... all of it. Freddie wrote the song. Freddie created the video.... all of it.... the look of it, the harmonies, the special effects. It was all Freddie's creation...... He was a genius. And.... best vocalist ever..... R.I.P. Freddie....
In my opinion, greatest song ever written, arranged and delivered of all time. Freddie was one in a zillion.
There is a viral video of a drunk guy in the back of a police car singing every word to this on his way to the police station. It’s priceless.
Uh, I did this. Now I feel really disturbed. How many people have done this?
@@CarrotFlowers421 ....I thought it was a viral video. I saw it a couple of years ago.
@@9382georgia I have not seen it, I've only done it
@@CarrotFlowers421 ....on TH-cam search drunk guy sings bohemian rhapsody in police car. Let us know if that’s you.
@@CarrotFlowers421 was it you?
"This ain't no regular white people rock song" LMAO so true!
That got me laughing out loud when he said it. SMH
Quote of the decade!! 😂
Such a raw reaction. Never thought of it being a white song.. just a brilliant song. Loved it!
Side note, Freddie Mercury’s real name is Farrokh Bulsara. So not exactly white per say.
I laughed out loud cause he is so right!! 😂😂😂
This song was released in 1975. Freddie didn't get diagnosed with Aids until about 1987.
And he didn’t let anybody know about it till almost the day he died 🇨🇦✌🏻🇨🇦
It was NEVER about AIDS. It was completely about Freddie coming out as gay to his mother. It’s not rocket science you know.
@@Dervanism He let The band and His inner circle know.He issued a press release hours before He passed.
@@Xcorgi Freddie wasn't gay. He was bi, and said so often. It was his coming out song of sorts but he was coming out as "not straight". He often said he loved men and women "I love everyone darling "
‘85, he knew before Live Aid.
This song ISN'T about Freddie having AIDS! That happened much later than this amazing song guys! RIP Freddie darling. ❤🕊🙏
Your right... Nice ballad here! All his music is still great!;
He knew after going to New York in 1976.
Why would he sing these lyrics.
The facts are there.
So brave he was.
@@shaungoggin1811 - HIV didn't become a known thing until around 1980. There's some that believe that there is not a HIV virus and that people actually died from the treatment drugs. Research Carey Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test and what he thought of Dr. Fauci, the pusher of AZT that killed many while inappropriately using Mullis's tool to "diagnose" cases. Sound familiar?
This song is about freddie coming out as gay...
@@KS-ok4ym Freddie Mercury didn't come out until December 1976. This song came out in 1975.
Freddie never did reveal exactly what it meant to him. He wanted people to find their own meaning in it. They have, and it’s spanned generations, never getting old. There’s a new message, over and over. Bohemian Rhapsody is timeless.
I agree. Freddie never did reveal exactly what this song was about. This was definitely written and recorded..long before the AIDS crisis.
He wanted to create a Rock Opera.
Music producers didn't really understand the band's vision..at the time. It almost never got recorded.
That's why it is re-released every decade since 1975. 75' 1st released, 85, 2nd; 95, 3rd; 1005 4th; 1015 5th; 1020 6th;
Life has come full circle.... I am reacting to someone that is reacting to someone else reacting to Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm glad I'm high as I am to fully appreciate all that reacting.
And the seasons, they go round and round, and the painted ponies go up and down..."Circle Game" - Joni Mitchell
As the smash mouth meme goes:
“The years start coming and they don’t stop coming
and they dont stop coming
and they dont stop coming
and they dont stop coming
and they dont stop coming”
A type of "Reactception"
Snort. Lol
Hahaha 🤣😂
Mr. Video lip syncing to the opera part is everything.
Absolutely! Great to see Mr Video
lip-sync opera!
I thought the same thing when I watched it!
It'z brilliant! I love this guy more with every vid I watch. lol
Wonderful to see the breadth of music he's covered! And what he digs! (Is my age showing? )
FACTS!!!
Two pretty sharp young Black men sitting on a couch, smoking and vibing to Queen. I fucking LOVE it!
No matter who, what, when, where, or age, everyone becomes a headbanger on that transition! Love it!
Freddie reminds me of that old saying, "Don't try to be everyone else try to be the best you."
I was 14 when this song came out in 1975 it touch my heart than IAM now 60 it still touch my heart today. great band. Queen forever!
This is what it was like being a 70s brat back in 1975
Leo, you clearly know every word, which means you've been listening to this song in your spare time. Would you please do a compilation video of your favourite songs you've learned in the past year? I'm sure all your subscribers want to know which songs have made it to your private play list. Please?
Yes. I'm curious to know if this has affected the way you listen to music when you're not entertaining us. I'd also be interested in hearing music you love and have you share it with us and tell us why it gives you chills.
Excellent idea! Please Leo!
YES!!!!
Great idea!
I'd love to see that!
Your evolution is complete. You now know every word of Bohemian Rhapsody and we could just throw you up on screen as the fifth member of the acapella section. Awesome! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
That made my heart smile when Leo knew every word of THE part we all know every word to. We're raising him right, y'all. LOL
I think I fell in love...
That's hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!
I'd love to see that!🎶
Well said
Guys, I have tears streaming down my face here. I've been a nurse for years and I just saw in this song the 5 stages of dying. You put me on to thinking about it. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and finally Acceptance..When Freddy says "nothing really matters to me", I freaking lost it. Best reaction to this song..ever..Thank you Leo and Sonny for this. Amazing.
However, Freddy wasn't singing about his impending death. That came in the late 80s to 1991
Freddie didn't have AIDS when this song was written. However, when he did find out he had AIDS 15 years later, Queen wrote a few song called " who wants to live forever" and "The show must go on"
This song is before the AIDS crisis. But the fact that it spoke to both of you is a testament to the power of damn good music and shared experiences!
I loved how this straight up turned into the Wayne’s world scene!! 😂😂😂 this song just does that to people. Epic.
😅😆🤣🤪😜
For some reason I am feeling so proud of Leo for knowing the words to this song! EDIT - the reaction when the rock part dropped was more than I could have hoped for lol. Wayne's World vibes for real!!
it was like a mirror image and made me soooo happy
Wayne's World for sure 😃
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guys seriously, how do we get him to react to that scene in the movie? HE WOULD LOVE IT.
I love ❤️ how much you like Queen and explaining to your big brother how great Freddie was. Love 💕 it!!!
When they start head banging I instantly thought of Waynes world.
Freddy the man was shy , Freddy wrote and scored this song. It's not aids it's life. Pain. anger, loss, regret, finding love, all the ups and downs of life ! Freddy is the voice and showman of which the likes we will never see again. Queen is timeless ! RIP We love you !
Also, Freddie created the entire thing in his own mind. He presented it to the other band members
Oh my gosh guys he's fully converted now, he has been baptized in the righteous ways of rock and now he's spreading the good word to his brothers 🤣 Seriously I love you man you're a kindred spirit, I'm exactly like you when I listen to this song ❤️🤘
Freddy (sadly) died from AIDS many years after this song was popular. RIP the King of Rock 🤴🏻
*BR was dropped in 1975. Freddy was diagnosed in 1987, and actually hid his illness from the world until the last days of his life in 1991.
It was the very last day of his life. I remember it so well. The paper’s headline on the day before he died read: ‘Freddie: I’ve Got AIDS.’ The next day he died.
@@OzzieOzzieOzzieOyOyOy wow no sh*t???
More accurately...the Queen of rock
@@pastorofmuppets22 Ahhh...yes!
Look at the crowd at the Green Day concert singing Queen in the intermission it's beautiful to see, He still warming up the crowd 30yrs after passing. 🙏❤️
I was there, amazing day
Even 45 years later. I went to see Green Day just in Aug 2021...they played BoRap before they came out. The crowd was so united singing this. That is the power of Freddie❣️
@Altairen th-cam.com/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/w-d-xo.html
Green Day is the opener for Queen!
It is awesome how @MrVideo went from never learning of Queen to now he knows the lyrics by heart savoring every note like an aged bourbon and is sharing it with others! This is how Freddie Mercury will live forever. Happy to be on the journey with you bro!!
I love the fact that a whole new generation is now discovering the magic of Queen and the legend that is Freddie
Bohemian Rhaposdy is basically 3 songs that he wanted to record and he decided to put them into one song. I just recently read that somewhere. But, as many commenters stated already, this was written and released at least a decade prior to his contracting Aides.
The way you introduced the song and artist to your brother was like art itself 🤩🤣
The best explanation of this song that I heard is that this was Freddy admitting he was gay and saying goodbye to pretending and to just be happy and not give a damn about what anyone else thought. He was free to come out of the 'closet' and participate in life..
That was my interpretation, too. The gun being a phallic symbol and so on. Brilliant and powerful song
That's how I've always heard it too. What a powerful song.
Freddie never officially came out as gay which is great for a listener because interpretation keeps this song amazing
@@lastfirst5689 officially?
He was probably bi guys, man loved his wife and loved guys, stop the biphobia
No One in QUEEN Ever Sold Their Souls. Pure 500% Talent. FREDDIE MERCURY, ROGER TAYLOR, BRIAN MAY, AND JOHN DEACON.
Every single one of them are amazing.
no formula, always did the music they wanted, they expermented alot.
How do you know? Do your think he would broadcast it ? It's a dark world in the entertainment world . Very dark. I been there
They don't need to sell their souls .. I have respect most of the band members, including Brian May who's an Astrophysist..
Brian May and Roger Taylor are still in Queen, with another guy to replace John Deacon who was invited but didn't want to be public anymore. They have toured and done Las Vegas with Adam Lambert as their new front man now to replace Freddie. Adam does his own thing, but also has a great voice.
Further proof of this song and Freddies greatness is the video of the Greenday crowd singing this song note for note all the way through four or so years ago. You show him THAT video and you will better understand the POWER of music to unite, heal, inspire and awe!
Was just thinking this and about to say so when I came upon your comment! That video is AMAZING!!!!
I was in that crowd! Green Day, Hyde Park, 2017. It was a magical moment. If you can't sing every word to Bo Rhap (including the guitar solos), are you even British?
I don't know who said he did this song to tell his mom he had AIDS but they lied. This song came out in 1975 and he was diagnosed in 1987.
Yes you're correct. Someone misspoke, BR was about many things, one of which was his guilt and fear around telling his mom he was gay.
I doubt they purposely lied. Maybe they were given the wrong info.
True. This was there first hit....Freddy died yrs later.
He never even told the world he had Aids until Nov 23....he passed Nov 24th....one day later.
He didn't tell his band mates until later after he started showing he wasn't well....the man is a genius.
He was & always will be the best.
@@colleenmasse9368 ... that's true. I'm lucky to share the same birthday as Freddie, so I always think of him on 9/5.
people really believe that💀💀💀
Never tire of Freddie...nice to see your Big Brother and hear his insight on the Rhapsody. ☮💜
I feel like Leo is ready for the Wayne's World version 🤣😅😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 both were head banging
Yes I was thinking that too 😂😂😂
YES!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The beauty of this song is as a listener, you can interpret the lyrics any way that you choose.
Exactly what Freddie said
There's nothing better than havin a little smoke and listening to music with someone and having a whole conversation.
this song was made like this bc he had written 3 songs and just put it in to one.freddie was a genius.
I don't think Freddie ever sold his soul. For good or bad, he died the same way he lived and never compromised his artistic integrity.
Amen
Freddie did what he wanted from his heart. He was a sophisticated educated artist and was so deep. I agree that some sell their souls. That's what made Mercury amazing he only did what he felt was great art/music.
a sign that they did sell their soul is when they die the casket is carried on the shoulders of the pall bearers. His was. It could be bull, but even Whitney was carried that way. It changes a person, look at what is coming out today, they all sold their soul. Deep down I pray they didnt, but deep down I kind of know they did.
@@debi9112 Don't believe everything you read on the internet, debi. Like malicious gossip, 95% of those sorts of claims are 100% BS. People just make this stuff up. Seriously. Don't fall for it!
I must admit Sonny surprised me, I think it’s the first time he showed real emotion watching a video. Great job guys!!!! 💯
You know his brother never saw waynes world and his headbanging just naturally came in. Awesome
Freddie's voice is unmatched. He had a flavor all his own. Queen is Fiyah
It's actually a little chilling now, as he didn't have AIDS when he wrote this, so it's prophetic almost. Thank you for your love of great music.
It's nothing to do with him this song lmao people just assume that
The metaphor behind the man he killed was about him killing his old persona, his mask. This song was Freddie coming out. Its a story of his rebirth.
Although its open to interpretation what its actually about, the AIDS theory was debunked by Freddy himself. My take: It's more of an opera performance of a story like "The Outsiders". A story of a poor boy who fell in love with a girl out of his socioeconomic status, got attacked by the rich boys who were after the same girl, killed one of them in self defense and had to go into hiding
@@jimmyjennings5343 ooh, that's a good one. Never heard of that. I like it
I agree, yes it was pre AIDS but that's exactly why Juliana H is describing it as prophetic.....!!
Leo good for showing him Freddie everyone should know Freddie.
Haha Leo you must have been really high because that story about how the song got written was not even close!
Good Weed
I choose to adopt Leo's narrative. It works. Freddie was obviously clairvoyant.
Dude, you have to react to "The show must go on" by Queen, is on another level.
It was the last song that Freddie recorded with the band before he dies. And as a fact, the band was worried by the high notes on the song and if Freddie could record it by the health state of him.
Freddie looks at the band, takes some vodka's slurps and he recorded the whole song on the first fricking take man.
Good video as always, cheers from Chile dude.
💜
They didn't want Ritchie Valens to sing la Bamba in Spanish either and that turned out to be one of his biggest hits.
Speaking of which, that's a good idea for next reaction!
I love the fact that you shared this with your brother and that you still appreciate Freddy as much as you did when you first heard him. 💜
Leo honey, this was 1975, years before Freddie had Aids. But yes, he was facing his real nature. Loved watching you two watch it. Now you need to show your brother "Somebody to Love" Live Montreal '81. One of the best live performances ever.💙
You both together are cool af
If you can't sing a long to this classic..we can't be friends!
You should show him the Live Aid performance!
I’ve had a bad day and your appreciation for this song makes me so happy
Bohemian Rhapsody is one of, if not the, best songs ever written. And it goes without saying Freddie Mercury had a phenomenal voice and knew how to command the stage. 💜💙
The irony of you and your brother head banging at that particular bit is superb
It’s never been officially confirmed, but all evidence based on this period in his life points to this song being about Freddie coming to terms with coming out.
Freddie and Queen will stay the best. They all wrote songs, all participate and bring something new that will last forever. Love you Freddie 🙏
You beat on your chest the house shook lmao you guys got me dying today.
If you want to hear one of the last songs he recorded, check out “The Show Must Go On”. He was so sick but his vocals were amazing as always.
Such a powerful song, made even more meaningful because it was one of his last. Great recommendation.
That song sounds so good but at the same time it's so hard to get through because of how it "feels".
Dude! Your guy immediately had a deep interpretation of this song that I never considered and I’ve listened to this 100+ times in my life. Is he an artist?
Freddie always wanted people to interpret his songs for themselves. Love your interpretation and the joy you show when you listen to the music.
Oh....look at you, sir! You are taking a great song that you grew to appreciate... and now helping us watch it through another pair of fresh eyes! You are amazing, and I love you and your reactions! I always look out for your videos!
I'm sure I've heard this song at least a thousand times, goosebumps every time!
It's about regret. Special or general. That's why everyone loves this song. We can all relate to it.
I dont relate to this song. I dont have inorder to like/love it.
Freddie actually did all that on his own. It was his personal masterpiece.
no
Brian, Roger, John and Roy all contributed with bits and pieces of music for this song.
@@RoverWaters wrong. Freddie Mercury wrote this entire song (including the guitar solo and drum lines) on his own. Bohemian Rhapsody is actually the product of several songs Freddie wrote, and fused together, over the period of a few years.
@@MultiEMitchell you sound dim
Go read the single cover, it says:
Written by Freddie Mercury
Produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker.
First time here; watching the gentleman on the left sing to this is probably the best thing I've seen in a LONG time. Music transcends everything
And to think he'd never heard of Queen until last year.....lol.
The gentleman on the left who is one of the most enjoyable enthusiastic reactors on the internet
This is why this channel and those like it work. It's just so much fun watching someone else geek out over something you enjoy... well done, guys!
First off who gave this a thumbs down?! The hatin be REAL!
It’s so crazy watching you go from reacting to the song on your own without any previous knowledge of the song or band, to now watching you rock out singing along and showing your bro! Great stuff, Leo!!! 👏
Oh the hatin’ be real, fr. 😡
Love that now you know the words, that you share with family, and how blasted you guys are 😅
The bar was set 45 years ago and it hasn't moved ,thank you Queen for the art !
I love the fact they all literally had to be in sync to record this song for the gezt take its just insane harmony to the fullest queen will be my all time favorite band .
I love Queen.♥️ We still love you Freddie, and miss you so . 😢💔🎤🎵🏆🎖️🦋
Rock opera plus expose a man's soul up against every wrong thing he's ever done - and we all gonna die ...song by the most magical voice ever recorded. Man.....
Wooooow, yalls interpretation is a better narrative than reality! Many believe this is about his struggle with being gay and trying to live in his truth in the spotlight. Wasn’t easy back then.
If you hear this song and don't start singing along with it in your head, you're not human.
Most educated band. Three of the band have doctorates.
I knew Brian May. Who are the others?
Did you mean 3 members of the band :o ? Or that they are 1 of the 3 bands that have doctorates. As far as i know only Brian had one :o
My favorite Queen song?
Somebody to love.
Gotta be the live in Montreal version though
@@Bink808 I can dig it
The creative genius that was Freddie Mercury! In my opinion, this is THE GREATEST Rock song EVER made!
Somebody to Love ...official version
I agree. Most if not all the reactors watch the live version, which is a good one, but the album (official) version is much more complex and powerful.
@@jameskirschling7887 not live Montreal 1981, that performance tops almost everything
I thrid and fourth your motion!
@@kJ922-h3j to be honest, I'm not sure which live version the reactors I've seen are watching. If the Montreal one is different I will have to check that out.
I think it’s good to watch the studio version first so you can appreciate how amazing the live version is and how they recreated that sound on stage.
I just watched a trilogy in one song... LOL so true! All of his life in one song. All his emotions in one song. His journey.
I get chills every time i hear this song. And tears.
Freddie is speaking metaphorically. When he says he killed a man he’s referring to when he told his mother he was gay, he killed off his straight self or the person his mother thought he was all along when he was in the closet. Usually when gays “come out” their mothers tend to cry. Especially back in those days when it was really frowned upon and not accepted. So that’s what he meant by “didn’t mean to make you cry”. This entire song is about Freddie coming out as gay to his family and friends. He never made a formal announcement in the media but he never tri d to cover it up either. I once saw in an interview where he said “If anyone who just got done watching my last show still thinks I’m straight, they must be absolutely crackers”.
I killed a man could also mean he is saying goodbye to Farrokha Balsara. He then changed his name to Freddie Mercury. Just a thought.
Yep! Thinking about the movie when Freddie says he's going out his mother asks "with a girl?"
Nothing to do with that at all. Come on do proper research and maybe ask someone who was around in the 70s and 80s ,not fucking bullshit some of these commenters come out with.
just speculations, not reality
This sure ain’t no ordinary white peoples song ,this is a masterpiece that everyone can appreciate!
And Freddie was Indian Parsi from Zanzibar anyway but it was a shame back then Farook Bulsara would never have been as big a star as Freddie Mercury
@@apocalypsenow1871 ** Farrokh
@@angelarodriguez_04 just saw...it autocorrected. For some reason samsung has Farook and Farooq and Farukh
Queen were not your typical rock band they always had soul at their core! :D
Freddie wasn’t white
If I were younger... you two are very yummy. lol Sorry can't help it. ♥ This song is just a story. He was a writer. An amazing visionary. Just a story ♥♥♥ The movie used this tune as the culmination of Freddy's story, but it's not about his impending death. ♥♥♥
I'm so happy he understood from the get go he knew Freddie was talking about himself
High as hell yet still breaking it down better than anyone on one listen
Freddie was diagnosed in 1987 , he wrote this in 1975 , so sorry, your time line out by 12 years 🤔 great seeing your bro react to this though 😍 show him the live aid performance, I was there ❤ ....awesomeness 😁
Fun fact: the guy in the movie who passed on Bohemian Rhapsody was played by Michael Meyers who played Wayne in Wayne’s World where he rocks out to the song.
This made my heart swell 💗Watching Leo really feeling & singing along to a song he obviously loves while he watches his big brother to see if he is going to love it too ❣️
One error I have to mention Leo...
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY WITHOUT EARBUDS/HEADPHONES 🤦♀️😣😭🤨
I'll forgive you this one time 🙃✌️💜
And I see others have already corrected you on the story/time-line...
Hope everyone is having a dandy day!
I'm old enough to remember when this song came out. My friends and I were just blown away! We were just like, 'wtf did we just hear??' ' We gotta get this album now!'
Thanks for the vid!
That was my era too.
It's very touching that you respect Freddie and Queen and rejoice in their music so much! He truly was a great artist and also was a shy man who was transformed when he performed. But he didn't allow that information about having AIDS to be publicly announced until the day before he died in 1991. His bandmates suspected that he had AIDS but he didn't tell them until 1989. He didn't ask for sympathy and didn't want to talk about it. As guitarist Brian May said, "He coped incredibly with his illness. He never, ever complained about it in my hearing."
Bohemian Rhapsody was first released in 1979, before AIDS was recognized. Freddie may have realized that he may have been at risk from or was already suffering from AIDS around 1982 - 1985 or so, but definitely by 1987 when the tests improved - eight years after this performance. He certainly knew that he was at risk for the same thing that was killing his friends.
But some of his songs seem to have contained some intuitive or precognitive (psychic) elements. Freddie composed other songs that seem to contain precognitive elements, as in We Are the Champions, when he sings, "I've done my sentence, but committed no crime." Or "I've taken my bows, and my curtain calls, you've given me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it, I thank you all. But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise, I consider it a challenge before the whole human race..."
Of course, the line, "Mama, I killed a man" could have applied to anyone who transmitted AIDS before treatments were available enabling people to live well despite the retrovirus, like Magic Johnson. Unfortunately, Freddie's illness came before the medical research had developed effective treatments and he suffered terribly before he died.
Hey Leo! I'm so very proud of you! Look at you sharing your knowledge with your brother about Freddie Mercury and Queen! Your singing along with the lyrics shows me that you have really studied this masterpiece. Bravo, young man!
💯% false information.The song was released in 1975 and he contracted Aids 12 years later in 1987
