That high note was not a lady opera singer - it was Mr. Roger Taylor. Queen created a wall of sound from very low to very high, they had incredible vocal range, and Mr. Freddie Mercury the greatest front man of all time.
Hey, man...in the song, it's not the mother who killed a man. He's telling his mother that he 'killed a man'. And btw, that man that he 'killed' is himself. He's basically telling his mother (and the listener) that he killed the person that he used to be. And nope...there are no ladies singing in this song. The entire song is sung by the band 'Queen', who are all men. Btw, if you watch sports (NBA etc) or went to high school, you definitely know at least 2 songs from the band 'Queen' --- 'We Will We Will ROCK YOU!!" , and "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS'...lol
the song is about him confessing to his mother that he killed a man, and that man is the man that she expected him to be, which was a heterosexual man who has a family, but he’s his homosexual and he killed that man to be who he is any which he hates the fact that he has to hurt her so bad, but he has to live his truth
This song and Queen are totally rockers! My husband and I think this song is when he finds out about having aids and saying goodbye. Their are no women singing that is all them/ Freddie Mercury. You should watch their live performance from 1986, it was their last one and the best. It gives me chills every time. If you haven't seen the movie they came out with a few years ago you should definitely watch it.
****Bohemian Rhapsody is truly a once in a lifetime masterpiece**** The beginning is “A cappella” - 2nd is “Ballad” - 3rd is “Operatic” - 4th is “Hard rock and 5th is “Coda” - And there’s the genius. It’s not a song. It’s a “piece of art, never to be duplicated”. (((Great Reaction)))
And it’s the combination of all those music form…. That is what a rhapsody is in music terms: A rhapsody is a musical composition that is free-flowing, episodic, and expressive, with a range of contrasting moods and emotions. Rhapsodies are often inspired by epic poetry and were originally improvised or loosely structured.
Oh stop with the "no autotune" bullshit. If it had existed, they would have used it. Freddie would probably have done something weird with it. But they definitely would have used it, just like they used whatever effects were available at the time.
@@jo2extreme874 I didn't say he'd use it as his whole sound...whatever you think that means. I said he would have used it, and probably done something weird with it. The point is, autotune is a tool, and acting like past bands would have been too...something...to use it, or they were too talented to use it is specious. The only reason they didn't use it was because it didn't yet exist.
@@TheBarkinFrog There are TOO MANY artists today that would not have a career without Autotune. If you cannot sing properly, you need training or another career. Period.
He wasn't Knighted by any Kings or Queens of England - There have been no Kings or Queens of England since 1707. They're monarchs of the United Kingdom - BIG difference.
@@bauertime I guess it's a paradigm shift. When i was a kid we consumed old media because there was less media in existence. I listened to the Beetles, The Doors, the Stones, i watched King Kong, Wizard of Oz and Ten Commandments every year, Twilight Zone, Dick Van Dyke. These kids today are so inundated by modern media, that they have no reason to go back to the old stuff. Before they would watch Dr Strangelove, they would watch a speed run on twitch or someone doing a horrible dance on tick tock. They live in a bubble of modernity. Somebody uses stop motion photography, forced perspective or a screen wipe and the kids are like, what is this witchcraft?
The old stereo when it first came out switched the sounds back and forth between the speakers to make it more “life like.” They had car races with sound coming and going. 12:15
I love when someone discovers Queen! So lead singer is Freddie Mercury, Lead guitar is Sir Brian May, bass player is John Deacon, drummer is Roger Taylor. Freddie was gay, so understand, he did not kill a man but felt he did when he came open to his family and the world. This is considered a rock opera. You would enjoy Queen Live Aid, considered the best live ever. Its long, but I guarantee, towards the end you'll be saying "That was Queen". Legendary ❤
The left ear, right ear thing is called "PANNING" to the left channel or right channel. It it done in the recording process. Many, many many bands did this from 1968-1985.
It was really cool sounding on the Bose speakers when we were getting super stoned.😂😂😂it went right through you..I'm 63,my generations music was and still is the 💣
In Holland we have had a top 2000 of all time for 24 years now. And Bohemian Rhapsody was number one 21 times. So we all agree that this is the best song EVER recorded. This year, 2024, Bohemian rhapsody is again number one and will be played 5 minutes before midnight.
I never knew this. From Southwest Michigan, born and raised just a bit SE of Holland, Michigan, descended of the Springsteens of actual Holland, "Hej, boy!"
I have a whole list of Queen’s songs for you. These people being negative about this band have no idea how iconic they are. They’ve probably heard their music and don’t even know it. Ever heard We Will Rock You or We Are The Champions at a sporting event? BOTH QUEEN SONGS!!
Came up in conversation that I got Queen + AL tix at work, blank stare from co-worker. Her: I don't know Queen. Me: Yes you do, you just don't know you known Queen. Her: look of confusion Me: I stomp stomp clapped ~3 times Her: That "We Will Rock You" Me: That's Queen! Her: Look of shock, then "And 'We Are The Champions'"? Me: Also Queen. Her: I guess I do know Queen! You often also often hear bits of "Another One Bites the Dust" - specifically the bass line - at MLB games when a batter strikes out.
My 10 yr old sings this song every day when he wakes up and it’s adorable. Now watch Wayne’s World movie. Brought the song back to top of the charts decades later.
Thank you for taking the time to appreciate those bands that paved the way for future artists which Queen did. They are a fascinating group of intelligent and gifted men. I’ll give you more info later if you are interested.
9:45 the CC says (energetic guitar music). I have never been more glad to have my hearing and simultaneously disappointed for those that have to read this and can't hear.
About 50 years after my 8 year old ears discovered stereo sound, I'm shook that people are still shocked by it. I guess it's down to people listening to songs out of the single speaker. Welcome to the 70s dude 😉
the song is about him confessing to his mother that he killed a man, and that man is the man that she expected him to be, which was a heterosexual man who has a family, but he’s his homosexual and he killed that man to be who he is any which he hates the fact that he has to hurt her so bad, but he has to live his truth
Boogie you are absolutely grindin son! You've put out so much content in the last few weeks I don't even know how long it gonna take me to catch up! New sub and I wish you all the success you deserve with this hard work you puttin in. Gonna enjoy watching you grow on here like I did No Life Shaq❤❤
Freddie KNEW how to bring a crowd to their feet. He wrote most of their songs, autotune wasn't even around, played the piano and RULED the stage. And... he was gone too soon. But 50 years later, those of us lucky enough to see him in concert are happy to see young people finding about Queen. Do you think in 50 years (or even 10 years) that anyone will be reacting to the autotuned songs of today's generation? Hell NO. My favorite Queen song is Somebody to Love.
once in a lifetime band...the harmony is mind blowing!!! priceless...it starts out as a slow song..then a heavy rock..then a very slow song at the end...its a roller coaster ride of emotions!!!
Queen were an amazing group and Freddie Mercury was a brilliant vocalist and showman. Freddie was diagnosed with aids in the mid to late 80s but instead of withdrawing from public life he wrote and performed two more songs, " show must go on " and " these are the days of our lives " he was dying and looked much thinner but unbelievably he managed to perform them so well. Please review both.
I saw the Beastie Boys in Santa Barbara in 1995 and they used the quadraphonic sound system so the sound was circling around the entire crowd like it is in your headphones. Awesome.
Life is really hard I agree. It’s not easy. Just having the basics with a decent quality of life is challenging each day . Your reactions make me smile .. keep it up !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨💫
Queen also wrote and sang all the song for the 1985 Highlander movie as well. Really elevated the movie, like the song Princes of the Universe. Would like to see your reaction for that song as well in the future.
Iconic song by an iconic band. I love this one and have for 50 years. The panning comes from splitting the stereo. These were times of limited technology so musicians and engineers had to be creative. This is a studio recording but they are filming the video as though it is live. This song is way too layered and detailed to do the entire thing live but they do use it at live shows but the intro is eliminated and the mid section is just the recorded music and the band leaves the stage. The first section after the intro is live and they return to the stage for the last portion and perform that live. There are places on this song where there are 180 overdubs and each one had to be sung and recorded over the one before it. This was recorded on 24 track tape so there was a lot of engineering that went into this recording. Today, they would just take one or two vocals then duplicate them as many times as they need to create that sound of 100 voices. That lady in the background is not a lady, that is Roger Taylor, the drummer of this band with his nearly unbelievable falsetto. There are three singers in this band, Freddie Mercury the lead singer and piano, Roger Taylor backup vocals and drums and Brian May lead guitar and backup vocals. All three are lead singers but in this band Freddie handles most of the lead vocals. John Deacon the bass guitarist didn't like to sing so he rarely is heard in the vocals. Thank you for your reaction.
In 1978 I went to a Queen concert and watched them do this live. During the middle of the song when they did the operettic part the stage went dark while they changed their clothes and the vocals were all over the place while they did that, then when the rock part came back in Freddie, the lead singer came up through the floor of the stage and they kicked it hard. It was every bit as great as the video you just watched.
‘Ya’ll hear that lady hit them notes.’ ☠️☠️ That dudes in the band! Awesome reaction… this one is always a journey for new listeners. Song went top 10 in 4 different decades.
A long time ago, people used the sun and stars to tell time. They split the day into 24 parts, called **hours** - 12 for daytime and 12 for nighttime. Later, they made each hour smaller by dividing it into **60 minutes** and each minute into **60 seconds** because 60 is easy to divide. Then, clocks were invented to make keeping track of time even simpler!
Until the 12th/13th century most sundials were divided by 40 rather than 60. That's the definition of a "moment" as well... it's 1,5 minute, or 1/40th of an hour.
This song is a JOURNEY, Freddie fought hard to get this song made the way he envisioned it and it seamlessly intertwines so many genres and styles it is properly a masterpiece.
We had real talented musicians, notice that today only the singer is shown . In those days it was a group effort . There must be real talent out there . Come on bring it on young ones.
OMG this song is an anthem, my 15 and 18 year old daughters love it...QUEEN is rock royalty. Freddy is a genius. Kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷 by the way, I was Born in 1977 too
Another one bites the dust. We are the champions. We will rock you. Every hype song that you hear It.Every football game you go to, mostly Queen. That's how legend they are
Awesome reaction to a song I grew up with! I remember when it came out and I was driving and the first time I heard the words I was emotional. I have loved the song ever since and that was about 76! Great job and Thanks for making music timeless! You are appreciated for that!
So first of all Great Content! I love your passion and the way that you're enjoying the moment. Second... I was hesitant to check out this type of stuff... but your passion for the music I grew up in drew me in at first and has kept me checking out the next video. Keep up the good work.
How'd you just discover stereo sound? I'm blown away by this. What do you think "stereo" means in "stereo headphones?" You never noticed different sounds coming out each side as some instruments were just on one side? BTW, the guitar player, Brian May, is an astrophysicist. Queen's just his side hustle.
That left and right thing is just using the stereo affect as each earphone (or speaker) has it's own channel - this means each can play something different. Back then, stereo was still a relatively new thing, and the artists of the time would often make full use of it. I don't know if you've checked them out yet, but Pink Floyd were masters of this.
I love that you discovered that they are rock stars within the last week, something my generation knew 49 years ago, talent and music that has withstood the test of time for almost half a century now
Everybody has these thoughts at one time or another "Why was I born at all, to suffer...Its hard". This is what unites us as humans, shared experiences, feelings, thoughts, scenarios. Music has a way of dancing across our hearts while strumming our deepest chords. This was considered a rock opera. Liked your reaction and followed you ...onward and upward with your musical journey.....
In my day like, as I am today, you would listen to this song from the middle of room with tower speakers in every corner and get the experience of a lifetime. Oh, and it wasn’t a lady the whole time. It was all them.
In case it helps: "I met a man whose name was Time, And he said, "I must be going, " But just how long ago that was, I have no way of knowing. Sometimes I want to murder time, Sometimes when my heart's aching, But mostly I just stroll along, The path that he is taking." [Incredible String Band, 'October Song', 1966]
That high note was not a lady opera singer - it was Mr. Roger Taylor. Queen created a wall of sound from very low to very high, they had incredible vocal range, and Mr. Freddie Mercury the greatest front man of all time.
*Freddie
And Freddie had most fantastic range of all
Roger Taylor had to do so many takes to get it the way Freddie wanted it! Freddie Mercury still is a God amongst men!!
That’s the drummer Roger Taylor that hits those super high notes!!
glad someone mentioned that. I would love to see his take on the movie where they show how that video was done. Would be interesting

Lol. That was supposed to be a comment not a reply. I'm lame.😂
This is a NEW interpretation of the song, well thought out BUT knowing Freddie it probably doesn't!!!
There is no ladies involved in this song AT ALL. It is just the four guys you see. Hugely talented.
Roger was always my favourite. Saw them 6 times
@Michael-n9h3b except for the very high notes, that was Roger. Definitely.
@Michael-n9h3b That extra high note is Roger though, for sure.
Roger Taylor ( drummer) was the high note singer!
He should have done a little research. Ugh!

He is the lead singer for the band the cross!
If you want to see what this band can do live, check out Somebody to Love from the 1981 Montreal concert. Fantastic performance!
All 4 were song writers, had #1 hits and are all in songwriters hall of fame. Massively talented group!!!

Still get chills listening to this song decades later. I am so happy you got to have that first listen. It's powerful stuff.
Me too and first time I heard it I had to call the radio station and ask WTF?
They weren't rock stars... they set the definition of "Rock Star" and went onto set the definition of LEGEND.

You missed out sundials and hourglasses, but yes....clocks really nailed it.
Until the 12th/13th century most sundials were divided by 40 rather than 60.
That's the definition of a "moment" as well... it's 1,5 minute, or 1/40th of an hour.
This song is a JOURNEY, Freddie fought hard to get this song made the way he envisioned it and it seamlessly intertwines so many genres and styles it is properly a masterpiece.
“Killing” is metaphorical a very emotional beautiful song
The high pitch voice is roger taylor, the drummer
Love your reaction
2:15 Bro just discovered stereo.
😂😂😂😂 my man looked terrified
He got stereoed😂😂
We had real talented musicians, notice that today only the singer is shown . In those days it was a group effort . There must be real talent out there . Come on bring it on young ones.
OMG this song is an anthem, my 15 and 18 year old daughters love it...QUEEN is rock royalty. Freddy is a genius. Kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷 by the way, I was Born in 1977 too
The beginning singing is all Freddie. He sang all the parts.
One of the Best Bands of the 70's and 80's and still relevant
Live aid is a good concert for you to see how they capture the crowd. all the best from Scotland. Rab
Another one bites the dust. We are the champions. We will rock you.
Every hype song that you hear It.Every football game you go to, mostly Queen.
That's how legend they are
Genuine reactions Fam.. you are appreciated 🫡💯
Queen has to be one of the greatest bands of all time. Every album they did had a different sound.
Awesome reaction to a song I grew up with! I remember when it came out and I was driving and the first time I heard the words I was emotional. I have loved the song ever since and that was about 76! Great job and Thanks for making music timeless! You are appreciated for that!
Freddie owned the stage! He had 4 extra teeth, but he never had them removed because he didn't want to do anything that would affect his performance.
Just never understood why he never was scared that the heavy smoking would damage his voice. Thankfully, it didn't.
5:49 - Please... don't ever stop a Brian May guitar solo again - It's the law.
Holy sh**t dude
Very unique reaction style. Refreshing for sure. Keep it up.
omg. i laughed so much hearing your takes =, love it
My dude, you are a genuine cool dude man. Don't ever change my guy.
So first of all Great Content! I love your passion and the way that you're enjoying the moment. Second... I was hesitant to check out this type of stuff... but your passion for the music I grew up in drew me in at first and has kept me checking out the next video. Keep up the good work.
How'd you just discover stereo sound? I'm blown away by this. What do you think "stereo" means in "stereo headphones?" You never noticed different sounds coming out each side as some instruments were just on one side?
BTW, the guitar player, Brian May, is an astrophysicist. Queen's just his side hustle.
He stuck a stick in the ground and looked at the shadow. It's called a sundial.
Two more songs by Queen you should listen to. We are The champions and Another one bites the dust.
We are the champions is attached to we will rock you so why not listen to it as intended then do it live from live aid or another concert
And Bicycle
That left and right thing is just using the stereo affect as each earphone (or speaker) has it's own channel - this means each can play something different.
Back then, stereo was still a relatively new thing, and the artists of the time would often make full use of it.
I don't know if you've checked them out yet, but Pink Floyd were masters of this.
I love that you discovered that they are rock stars within the last week, something my generation knew 49 years ago, talent and music that has withstood the test of time for almost half a century now
Everybody has these thoughts at one time or another "Why was I born at all, to suffer...Its hard". This is what unites us as humans, shared experiences, feelings, thoughts, scenarios. Music has a way of dancing across our hearts while strumming our deepest chords. This was considered a rock opera. Liked your reaction and followed you ...onward and upward with your musical journey.....
Ahh the joys of an artist that knows how to properly use stereo effects. It sounded even more wicked in your parent's sedan with the volume maxed.
Lots more Queen please!!❤️🎼❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Iconic band...freddoe was one of a kind....for years my nr 1 and yes..some party of the video were live
David Bowie - Space oddity. Great reaction young legend! Put a smile on my face.
Somebody to love live in Montreal and Love of my life, live. You will see some amazing crowd control. ❤❤😮
It's called recording engineering that made the voices go from one side to the other
In my day like, as I am today, you would listen to this song from the middle of room with tower speakers in every corner and get the experience of a lifetime. Oh, and it wasn’t a lady the whole time. It was all them.
Once you’ve heard this song, you can never unheard it…🙏❤️🇸🇪
In case it helps:
"I met a man whose name was Time,
And he said, "I must be going, "
But just how long ago that was,
I have no way of knowing.
Sometimes I want to murder time,
Sometimes when my heart's aching,
But mostly I just stroll along,
The path that he is taking."
[Incredible String Band, 'October Song', 1966]
When stereo recordings became a thing, a lot of bands utilized this to fluctuate between left and right channels
