Bohemian Rhapsody (The Making of 'A Night At The Opera' 30th Anniversary)
/ queenofficial - เพลง
The stars aligned when those four people got together to make timeless music. Wonderful. Miss you Freddie.
"Still gonna be number 1 for centuries"
Oh how right was he...
Freddie Mercury is a musical genius, taken from this world far too soon! Queen as a whole was an amazing amalgamation of extremely talented people!

Freddie > Freddy
Change my opinion
Guys shut up,it could've been auto correct
You right. No pro tools .... no digital copy paste.
been playing bohemian rhapsody on bass for a few years now, had a go at playing to the backing track (piano only). Wow wow wow, 2 slip ups on the final part but my friend clapped away on the final note lol. such a brilliant song by a brilliant band
I was born a few years after this song came out in the 70's but man when Wayne's world reintroduced Bohemian Rhapsody to my generation it became apart of all of our childhoods
If I have the talent, I would make a novel based on this song. It's just so epic. And I'll shape and name my characters after the band members. Long live Queen!
I remember us fetching that convertible from the rental station in Albuquerque, putting down the top and instantly starting to play Bohemian Rhapsody in an infinite loop until we hit the Las Vegas city limits.
Planned to listen to A Horse With No Name and many other American stuff, but hey... once you've started to listen to QUEEN one just cannot stop, right? 😍
Freddie Mercury had such faith in how Queen worked, Talking about each member in a very personal way- Brian could ( or was expected ) to know how to play anything! He was especailly proud to let people know-Each song is done by us. No special effects. Just the band doing all harmonies, all music and Our way of changing things.If we did it just to make a hit single, we would all get lax, and be just like any other band- And Queen is not just any other band. ~ FM~
Why would anyone waste time wondering what this song is about? It's all there in the words. The murder, the despair, the insanity, acceptance. It's as natural as "Row, row, row your boat," They couldn't make another just like it. No one can put anything on it that will stick apart from what's already in the words and music. Inevitability. That's what makes it a masterpiece.
Every mind is a real universe by itself..the meaning is endless...enjoy yours!
Best guitar solo from 70s!
Brian mays tone is just inspiring.
My favourite song...Masterpiece!
Kenny ( the amazing) Everette.. Thanks to you, Rhapsody made its debut..
bro that dude playing the guitar should be part of queen!! since he’s so good at it
Queen ll is the greatest rock album ever made.
Absolutely fabulous queen never got to see queen wish I had but have recently seen a tribute band
Brian May @ 8:40 : "The riff is something like this"
Me: As if none of this entire planet who dosen't knew that riff..You're insane sir
He wanted to give the viewer an impression of what he plays visually wise
@@LPsMartIn yes i know it mate...and personally i learned by this video thru his fingers to play the riff😁
@@thebigdudestudios me too haha!
@@thebigdudestudios 9:01 from now on I didn't understand. You understood?
Своего рода мастер класс
My favorite Queen album EVER.
RTB, what a producer
Makes you wonder how they played it live. Miss Freddie...
+PianoUniverse The intro and the opera-part where usually played from tape and the rest was done live by the band.
Geographus they never did the intro live
@@Geographus666 the intro was not included in their live performances at all
Crazy how everytime this song plays on a modern movie or concert (no matter if it’s just a short clip or the whole song) it resurfaces in the charts like the phoenix from its ashes
Yasssss! Love Queen
"Oh, forget about it. It could be half an hour, it's still going to be number one for centuries." B-D
It’s sound so cool the hard riff
I Agree, Boh Rahp will be Nr. 1 forever
I love the QRD root 13 diffusers in the background
I loved this song...perfect composition....
Thank you.
QUEEN最高！！！
Love Freddie
my fave. song!
mooz
best song ever
I love " A night at the Opera" but "Queen II" a little bit more. Thanks.
How creative.
Fascinating stuf
Only the true gods do music like Bohemian Rhapsody
10:52 - 13:07 I totally agree!!
all my loving....
The last generation to have actual musicians in it. What a masterpiece of a song
No it wasn't.
@@sillysausage4549 you are a useful little thing
♥♥♥
Why are legends always gone too soon? Mozart, Freddie, Bob Ross, Steve Erwin.
Prince!
I disagree with the final comments of the last man. I don't think that the meaning behind Bohemian Rhapsody is Freddie's homosexuality. Not everything he did was to be able to talk about it, he did have a private life which he enjoyed A LOT so I don't think he was THAT constricted at that time.
I really hope people would stop mixing all the aspects of his life and personality to just one of his many facets.
People want to read meaning into everything! Sometimes, a great song is just that - a great song. People want every Queen song to have secret, mysterious references. I've read about gay references in songs written by Brian May and John Deacon! Mercury didn't write all their songs, so it's always fun to point out people have discovered "hidden gayness" in songs written by members of the band who were straight and married.
I think all this secret meaning stuff started in the 60s, when drug references were written into songs and people decided Paul McCartney was dead and replaced by a fake Paul.
A friend of mine gets really mad when people ask her about Paul being dead and The Beatles - for no reason - covering it up by planting a billion clues in their songs and album artwork. She had a nice response, "No. Paul's alive. Which hurts because it means he actually wrote "Silly Love Songs."
i think the same. I think this was just a fantastic song, the best ever written

Agreed. Here we are over 40 years later, still talking about the song - and listening to it. How many bands still sound fresh after that much time? The Doors are timeless - they don't have that swirly, twirly, psychedelic sound that dates them as a 60s band, the way The Beatles - great as they are - sound VERY 1960s.
The thing is, Queen jumped on just about every trend there was ("Hot Space," anyone?) and still sound better than a few hundred bands that WERE big in 70s and the early 80s - and aren't anymore.
And you watch their live performances and you see what a band can sound like if they stay together, year after year, and keep performing live instead - of retreating into the studio to create sonic masterpieces that can never be performed live.
The best song ever written? One of the VERY best, anyway - I don't want to get into a fight with fans of "Stairway to Heaven," "Purple Haze," or "Born to Run"!

What can I say? There are more crazy theories about Queen songs than there are crazy theories about "The Shining"! LOL and have a great week week. P.S. You channel is great, btw. Anyone with room for Queen, a Hendrix tutorial, AND Psycho Mary from American Idol gets my respect.
It's a fantastic song, one of my all time favourites and it holds a personal meaning to myself and a variety of other listeners. I think it's just a well constructed work of musical art that is open to various interpretations. Freddie Mercury was quoted as saying that the song is about relationships, that's all he ever said about it and that's all we'll ever know. Part of the song's legacy is that nobody truly knows what it means and we never will.
I think the guy at the end over analyses the lyrics, only Freddie knew what it is about, if it;s about anything. Didn't he say it was just throw away pop music, long live queen
is this from 2005 cause that was the 30th aniveresy the same year i was born that was a great year for everything
does anyone know the name of the technician/producer featured here? the guy at 6:54
Roy Thomas Baker he was the producer.
I care to differ. There are still plenty of skilled musicians today.
Frank Zappa wrote a song called "Any Way The Wind Blows". I often wonder whether Freddie ever heard it.
I think the song is about Freddy being fed up with pretending to be something he wasn't.
The man killed is the Freddy who was not OK with being gay, who was pretending to be something he wasn't. Someone he didn't like and who didn't like him.
The conflict in the song isn't about the killing, it's about what was left, the finally free Freddy and all the shit he knew would be coming down on him.
All the judgement and condemnation.
And he said fuck it, this is me. What you think doesn't really matter.
Freddy is dead. Long live Freddy!
Sadly, he didn't live long enough, but he lived as he wanted to.
I need the tab from 08:59 please 😭😭😭
maybe just look where his fingers are positioned?
assdffghjjkkl when he was talking about the bell effect on the march of the black queen i said 'that's so fucking cool' out loud
But there will never be another Freddy Mercury. Or Prince. They were a very rare combination of, musician, vocalist and composed. All equally strong in giftings.
girl it's freddie not freddy
I love how Brian May seems to refuse to use his pinkie while playing guitar, and then complains how the Bohemian Rhapsody hard rock riff is a "pig of a riff".
I think the meaning of this song has to do with making a pact with some obscure force
0:52 who needs you? (Aka bri)
So I've just got to wonder, after working with Freddie so closely and for so many years, why didn't they ask him what BoRap was about? Or maybe they were sworn to never tell???
The only people that knew, know or could know the actual meaning are: Kenny Everett, Mary Austin, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Jer Bulsara and Kashmire Cooke.
+lovethemills In an interview Freddie once said that he hates nothing more than analyzing his own songs and when people ask him what BoRap is about he always said "I don't know!".
Roger said, that people tend to interpret to much into BoRap. BoRap started of as a relatively short song and just grew and grew and grew, so the initial idea that Freddie had writing BoRap is only a small part of what the song finally became, and because of its size people tend to belive it is about MUCH more than it actually is.
What is the song at 2:18
The March of The Black Queen
Also people stop lying Freddie said many interviews that song really has no meaning sometimes if you’ve ever taken lessons writing A song if something sounds good with words even if it doesn’t always make sense to put it together so when they asked he said that interview’s you were studying at the time so people try to be more of it really doesn’t have a meaning .later in life songs did.but bohemian rhapsody is not something that was intended for reason just writing shi^ sounds good and you use it, god he’s admitted it long time ago!
That one guy: "Don't read too much into the song"
Also him: "It's possible it could be a song about being gay and struggling with it"
Dude...
"bells," a/k/a "hocketing"
"The singing strings of ..... " Who he says ????? Someone can helpe me please ??
conductor/composer Mantovani
I'd love to see a contemporary artist do a cover of this - make it relevant as a song again. Like, Ed Sheeran feat Justin Bieber would be great.
Great song, bad shirt Brian.
Composer
I KNOW it's not about this, but BR could easily be about HIV/AIDS: Pulling MY trigger on a man and now he's dead, NO escape from the death sentence, or the lines saying so you think you can stop me and spit in my eye/so you think you love me then leave me to die.
David Dietz HIV wasn’t even known about until the 80s and Freddie wasn’t diagnosed until the late 80s....so I doubt it.
I've always thought he had a feeling that he was gonna died a young age of some terminal disese.it just didn't have a name til the 80s.
David Dietz, The lyric was "Stone me and spit me in my eyes" not "stop me".
In old days (from Bible or the like) People committed crime or wrong doing got stoned to death.
Well it was written long before HIV so.....no.
HIV and AIDS didn't exist until mid or early 80s
4:29 What's this? uwu
10:51 spoken like a true critic/non-musician. You do not over think music. You feel it in your heart and soul and that;s when the magic happens. Music is 95% feeling and 5% feeling. It cannot be put into words. When it is put into words it sounds like this bald guys description. Blah blah blah blah etc....................................................
Daws anyone! Clowns! You don’t need daws maybe but editing truth be told Brian may said tech today should make things easier but no take’s same amount of time. His words!
Am I the one who see a woman on preview?
Brilliant except for the guy at the end interpreting the lyrics... I think he is way, way off base. Jeez.
Roger looks like Donald Trump 🤔
Bismillah is from islam
Great Band,Album,Song but Im sick of hearing about it,how many times can one hear the same things being said over n over.Would'nt it be good if some Band was writing something as Fresh and Original now instead of keep revisiting the past.
Most overrated song of all time.

If I have the talent, I would make a novel based on this song. It's just so epic. And I'll shape and name my characters after the band members. Long live Queen!
Have you done it? :)
