I suggest wearing headphones for queen songs. You will be amazed at their sound
Headphones or earbuds are necessary for Queen’s studio recordings. They experimented quite a bit with sound and how to enhance the music through use of techniques such as panning
Welcome to the world of Queen 👋🏻😄 This song is a timeless classic and a masterpiece. The band is Queen and the lead singer is Freddie Mercury. He was and still is a legend. He passed away from AIDS in 91 and he's so missed 💔❤ There bever was and there never will be anyone like him again. He's considered by many, me included, to be the greatest vocalist of all time.
Everyone in the band wrote songs and they all wrote hits. Freddie wrote this one(genius) but he never said what the song is about. There's theories that it's about him killing off a part of himself and embracing him being gay. But we'll never know 🤷🏻♀️
The rest of the band is Brian May on guitar, Roger Taylor on drums and John Deacon on bass.
Please react to Somebody To Love LIVE from Montreal 👌🏼
Oh no that’s sad to hear that he passed away! 😔 all the greats get taken away from us smh thank you so much for the info! ❤️
@@ValenciaGamble He was incredible. Such a loss.
You literally have to listen to this song a few dozen times "with headphones on" to truly appreciate this song. It really is a masterpiece, and the Lead singer Freddie Mercury is the best Rock Frontman of All time with a voice that is seriously one of a kind
⬆️ headphones for sure! Freddie was THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST!!!
“That was art” so so true. Brilliant reaction. You have to see “somebody to love” live performance Montreal 81next. You know so many of their songs you just didn’t realise. We will rock you, another one bites the dust etc
Queen is a British rock band created in 1971 consisting of 4 musicians:
Freddie Mercury - Lead vocalist and piano
Brian May - Lead guitarist and singer
Roger Taylor - Drummer and singer
John Deacon - Bass guitarist
Don't take the lyrics so literally. Freddie Mercury (who wrote the song) tends to writes in metaphor. Some believe that this song was Freddie's attempt to come out as a bisexual/gay man which was really shocking for 1974 England. (Until 1967, the Brits still had laws against homosexuality.) Freddie never discussed the meaning of the song with anyone, even his Queen bandmates.
Queen never explained the meaning of their songs perferring that the listner define the meaning for themselves personally. Freddie did admit that Bohemian Rhapsody is actually 3 different songs he had been writing which he couldn't seem to finish. So he just put the 3 of them together, adding some transistions and bridges and it became this masterpiece.
Wow that’s so interesting! So they were 3 different songs that all fit into one! That’s so cool and that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that done before and it sounds amazing!
Brian May: Also a doctor of astrophysics.
You were going for barbershop quartet, the intro with the four heads, is actually just Freddie doing 4-part harmony with himself.
No it's not
No. Queen’s harmony vocals were done by Freddie Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor.
What’s more Freddie didn’t sing lead vocals on all their songs.
Freddie Mercury is widely considered to be one of the best vocalists ever.
Welcome to the best rabbit hole in the world :) I started falling in March of this year.. And I have just started scratching the surface I think :) try "somebody to love live Montreal 1981" next..
Band name - Queen
Lead singer - Freddie Mercury
Guitarist (vocals) - Brian May
Drummer (vocals) - Roger Clark
Bass guitarist - John Deacon (idk if he did backing vocals or not)
And ALL OF THEM ARE SONGWRITERS 😊
It is Roger Taylor, not Clark : )
@@marleenzervos3525 😂😂😂😂 I guess I got too mesmerised by the performance..
Yay!! Please do “Somebody to Love” by Queen live in Montreal 1981. It will blow your socks off. Freddie is the best ever!!
Great reaction. You have a good ear for music. "Barbershop quartet" harmonies is what you were trying to name. Queen featured it in several of their songs. They have a diverse catalog that incorporates different genres (rock, gospel, opera, ragtime, etc.). Hope you'll check out more.
Omg yesss! Barbershop Quartets!! Thank you so much! It wouldn’t come to me but that’s exactly what I was thinking of! I’ll def be checking out more btw! 😊
Accept at the start of Bo Rhap it's all Freddie who is harmonising with himself.
@@jpw6893 Yes! That's true but I think she was referring to the style of harmonization.
“Mama, I killed a man” He was trying to confess his mom his sexual orientation. He felt guilty, but in the end “it doesn’t really matter, anyway the wind blows”
You go girl, welcome to the Queen journey. They were amazing and a huge diverse catalogue. I really hope you want to react to more Queen. I suggest Under Pressure and Another one bites the dust. Much bless dear and keep up the good work!
This song rocked my high school world in the 70s and continues to do so. For you young folks, I love seeing the look on your faces when you realize the greatness you have been missing!!!
excellent reaction!🤗 that was in 1975, great video, great audio, great band.... youtube says this is the first 'pre-90's song that got 1 billion views as of is it in 2018🙂..
Wow really?! That’s iconic!!!
Listening to Bohemian Rhapsody is like being on a musical roller coaster. Amazing fact about Queens' lead guitarist Brian May. He was actually working on getting his Ph.D in astrophysics when Queen was formed. Music meant so much to him so he put his doctorate on the back burner. After Freddie Mercury died, Queen disbanded. Even while still part of the group Brian and his father designed and built a new kind of guitar. Brian's IQ has been measured in the 160's. That's even beyond Big Bang Theory smart. So he was a real genius on top of being a musical genius. after Queen disbanded, Brian went back to working toward his doctorate. He finally got it in 2006 or 7. He's now Dr. Brian May Ph.D. He's also written about 6 books on the subject of astrophysics.
The best song ever.
Another awesome artist that has left us. R.I.P Freddie.
You really need to react to Queen live aid full concert 1985 it’s only 20 minutes long the best 20 minutes of your life react to the whole 20 minutes you won’t be disappointed I was there at Wembley stadium the most iconic concert in music history Queen are the most iconic rock band of all time awesome reaction I’ve subscribed to your channel
Fantastic reaction! It is great how you understand, the art of this song. Queen is actually the 4th best selling artists of all time. They were just far more popular in Europe then in America. Bohemian Rhapsody is often chosen as one of the best songs ever written. And Lead singer Freddie Mercury is often chosen as the best vocalist and performer of of time. They were often chosen as the best live band, Freddie Mercury had amazing energy. If you enjoyed that I sure you would also enjoy the White Queen live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975 th-cam.com/video/f8usNj4x9NA/w-d-xo.html or Somebody To Love live at Montreal 1981th-cam.com/video/aA2IRoPFIn0/w-d-xo.html.
Bohemian Rhapsody is written like an opera aria, it is the story of someone commits murder and then gives himself over to the authorities. The middle section is a trial between heaven and hell for his soul. The song goes through the 5 stages of grieve, he get angry at his lot and then he accepts it in the end.
Wow thank you so much for that information!! That’s so amazing! And omg I was right! I knew it had the type of sound that you’d hear in the theater! I’m an actress so those types of things really stick out to me.
Another bit of trivia: Brian May (the guitarist) is also an astrophysicist.
Saw queen back in the day and felt wat u young people are feeling 50 yrs ago!!
You will enjoy “ Queen, Somebody to Love, live at Montreal.
The video has a billion views for a reason. Some say it's the best song ever made.
I think most people told you but in this song this song was Freddie basically trying to come out to his mom but using different words “any way the wind blows” etc but the whole song is a rock opera essentially
There was a funny episode where they played part of this song and all four guys in the car were head banging and singing to it. It was hilarious! This song is ICONIC. Also listen to "We are the Champions"..."Another one bites the Dust." So many great songs from QUEEN. "Somebody to love." And you are talking about Barbershop Quartet in what you thought you heard. These guys are SO MUCH MORE!!!
Some fun facts about Queen: All four members of the band have written #1 hits (the only group with such an achievement) and are all members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. All are college educated; in fact guitarist Brian May has returned to college for graduate studies and now has a Ph.D. in Astrophysics, but still tours as Queen with drummer Roger Taylor.
Wow that’s extremely impressive! Gives me hope that I can go after my dreams even though it’s not what I got my degree in!
@@ValenciaGamble - Bassist John Deacon had a first class honors degree in electrical engineering at only 19 and was the youngest in band. He invented a special amp (out of stuff he rescued from the garbage) for the guitar that has never been duplicated until recently reverse engineered. He wrote several of their biggest hits (Another one Bites the Dust and You're my Best Friend and over a dozen other songs) but was very shy and reluctant to sing although he did sing back up in live concerts.
Roger Taylor studied biology and Freddie arts and graphic design.
Freddy was one if the best singers the world has ever had I was a teen when this came out gave me goose bumps then and still does
"That's art." I think that's a perfect approval of this video. I couldn't have said it better.
I’m sure you e heard. We are the champions. Another one. Bites the dust. We will rock you. For a start
Your world is about to be rocked, baby
Love your reaction!!!
Me gustó tu reacción, este tema es una verdadera joya musical, para miles el mejor tema de la historia. Definitivamente es el mejor grupo de todo el planeta de todos los tiempos,. Bendiciones a tu vida y a tu canal.
I played this song on the piano when I was a sophomore in high school (77). I played it in a variety show for the parents and students. Eleven pages I had to memorize (they didn't want a page turner). Great memories 😊
Freddies great vocal range was attributed to the shape of his teeth.
It gave a great resonance
Freddys voice truely was an instrument ❤️🎶
That's Freddie Mercury. He was born in Syria, grew up in England. He was one of the first gay rockers to come out, and he unfortunately died of AIDS in 1991. I believe he was the best front man in R&R. You have to listen to his LIVE show in Montreal in 1981, SOMEBODY TO LOVE , or the Live Aid concert with David Bowie, a benefit concert for AIDS research. They also made a good movie about Queen(that's the band's name) this past year. Excellent!
I had another reactionsist go crazy after he got headphones and did Bohemian Rhapsody and said it was amazing with the headphones sounded like a new song. Other suggestions we will rock you. Don't stop me now and. Live aid concert. for I believe hunger in africa
Rock Opera! What a way to fly! Go Freddy 😘
It’s funny that you mentioned about the guys that sing in front of ice cream shops. I think it’s called Vaudeville and there’s actually a song from Queen called Seaside Rendezvous and Freddie sings it just like that.
Brian May who plays lead guitar, Rodger Taylor who plays drums, and John Deacon who plays bass guitar with lip syncing to this. All those voices you hear all different pictures and levels were all Freddie Mercury
Agree headphones are best. The sound mixing is outstanding. The entire band is called Queen.. The lead singer is Freddy Mercury. (RIP)
Freddie is the greatest front man ever!!!
Nice way to start my day
Welcome to queen's army!
Aww glad I could help 😊 thank you!
Love it take the queen journey you will be happy you did
You really must see the movie! Also, the first part is all Freddie Mercury, the lead singer. 5 layers of his voice. You're referring to the old barbershop quartets. Freddie is an exceptional vocalist & musician. He's singing @ a troubled person struggling . In reality, he went on to sing some opera in the late 1980s. Very successfully. You can research it all on Google & TH-cam.
Barbershop music. It got it's name from a group of guys literally singing harmony outside of a barbershop. I actually song in the Ocean State Chorus in R.I., & in barbershop guartets & competitions.
His voice is a joke. Check out queens live version of “somebody to love” Montreal 1981 and his voice and the bands skills will leave you stunned
People dressed in red and white like you said are called the Barber Shop Quartet.
The band is called QUEEN and the main singer was Freddie Murcery
The old groups were called Barbershop Quartets.
We are talking about the perfect harmonies like that, in The Mending and red and white striped shirts, I think you are referring to the Beach Boys
Yes, „somebody to love“.
Last week I find „lab of the gods“ 1986, short but sooo good.
Queen Live Aid 1985 please. Enjoyed your reaction.
though I understand now that the song is metaphoric, as a kid I understood it as a story. I figured he was going away one way or another, whether he was trying to skip or whether he ends up getting caught. He's committed murder, he has thrown away his life. He won't be seeing his mama in the future no matter how it goes.
Girl, you gotta' get some over the ear headphones if you are gonna' play in the deep end with bands like queen.$70 for Bluetooth from best buy, cheaper on Amazon. And don't worry, you will be listening to this song like 10 times in a row.
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO QUEEN AT LIVE AID 1985 IT'S FAB AND YOU WILL DISCOVER SONGS THAT YOU KNOW BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT IT IS QUEENS SONG YOUR REACTION TO THEM WAS FANTASTIC IN 1985 I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF 76000 PEOPLE AND WATCHED IT ALL DAY AND QUEEN WERE THE BEST YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT 25MIN LONG BUT WELL WORTH IT STAY SAFE HUN XXxx
The first part of the song is all Freddie Mercury. Studio cuts of him singing in four different octaves. This is why you never hear that part when they sing the song live.
"Fat bottom girls" is one of favorite songs by QUEEN...check it out next please
Headphones and turn on the lyrics
The song was done kind of like an opera for it's Time the song is over 6 minutes long which was unheard of at that time
I remember the 1970's very well!
When men were men, & barbers had nothing to do! 🤣🤣🤣
Love your comments, and you’re one of the few reactors who immediately caught the murder storyline from the second movement. The murder, I’m told, is a metaphor for Freddie Mercury’s coming out as gay around this time. He killed one man (his old self) to become another.
Barbershop quartet is what you were trying to think of!
The song goes from a Babershop quartet to ragtime to oprea tro hard rock back to a sad ending. The song is abouit a person contemplating suicide
I am sure someone has already told you, but they were called "Barbershop Quartets"
Freddie Mercury the GOAT!!!
And no, he did not kill someone, literally, but deeply disappointed his mother for his idea. She died inside for his affection for men, actually he was bisexual.
This was the number 1 song at Christmas 1975 and responsible for a huge increase in headphone sales that Christmas! :) Queen are just about always better to watch live versions.
Whole band is called Queen
Don’t feel bad about not hearing the song before. There’s gotta be millions of people who’ve never heard it.
I’m a huge Queen fan and I’ve heard this song my whole life. But that’s me. I know plenty of people who just don’t listen to this type of music and aren’t that likely to come across it.
It’s not nearly as ubiquitous as a song like We Will Rock You which is harder to avoid.
People shouldn’t take for granted that, as big as Queen and this song is, that everyone is supposed to know this song. It’s a big world.
That was literally the nicest thing! Thank you for understanding! I’ve definitely heard We will rock you! But I had no idea they sang it! I’m sure I know more but didn’t know the artist was Queen.
Valencia Gamble no problem. you probably do know some other songs of theirs. (Maybe We are the Champions or Another One Bites the Dust, for example.)
I’ve actually seen some fellow Queen fans claim that reactors saying things like, “first time hearing Bohemian Rhapsody” are lying. Which is a ridiculous thing to say.
I like your reaction though. Especially when you called it “art”. That’s how famed photographer Mick Rock (who photographed Queen) referred to the song in an interview. 👍🏻
Omg yes I do know “we are the champions” see there are songs that I’m sure I know by them but this was just not one. “We will rock you” and “we are the champions” are played at sporting events and commercials etc. Unless I missed it I’ve never heard “Bohemian rhapsody” played anywhere. And I know people don’t know me but I don’t think it’s that serious to lie about it. If I’ve heard it or if it’s sound vaguely familiar I’ll say that. It’s best to be honest about it people will love you better for it. Unfortunately the ones who lie probably get more views but that’s life 😔. This channel has opened my eyes and my mind to music that I’ve never heard but needed to hear!
@@ValenciaGamble I'd say you're spot on in your assessment of the ubiquity of those songs. For sure, We Will Rock You is played at virtually every sporting even I've been to where any music is being played and even sometimes just by people in the bleachers. You hear We are the Champions at some point after any team wins a major game, title, etc.and in other instances.
In my experience, I mostly hear BoRhap at home, on classic rock radio, and maybe I've heard it playing in some random store here and there. It has been featured in movies, but most notably Wayne's World and the recent movie of the same name.
But if someone is only of a certain age or if they only listened to country or hip-hop (I've known plenty of people like that - nothing wrong with it) or they live in outer Mongolia or something like that their whole life, it's pretty easy to miss a song like BoRhap.
I really don't think reactors are lying when they say it's their first time hearing the song. I mean, is it possible any of them are making that up? Sure, it's possible, but I wouldn't automatically assume that. That would be presumptuous and foolish.
Anyway, your Queen (and other artists) journey going. They are fantastic on multiple levels. :-)
The value of this song is listening without interruption. Do that for yourself.
You really need see the band Queen performing live. The lead singer, Freddie Mercury, was a huge Aretha Franklin fan and wrote “Somebody to Love”, styling it after some of her work. The live performance in Montreal 1981 demonstrates why Queen is the best live act band and further solidifies Freddie Mercury as the be front man ever. Here is the link to the 1981 performance th-cam.com/video/aA2IRoPFIn0/w-d-xo.html
You are thinking of a Barbershop Quartet...and please...get some headphones and listen to this again. Oh yeah, the album is called "A Night At The Opera" which explains this song.
I did! And it sounded even better the second time around!
Thanks, Valencia -- you really, really need headphones to appreciate this song, though -- :)
I believe the first Rock Opera.
You absolutely need headphones to listen to your music.
That first part that shows all four is really just one person with layers and layers of harmony, so that part is all Freddie. You are thinking of a barbershop quartet, but these harmonies are much more sophisticated than barber shop which I also like.
That’s literally so amazing that he could make his voice sound like 4 different people!
Listen again and wear headphones. Were you thinking about Barbershop quartets? Anyway, I love your reactions and personality. New subscriber.
ROCK OPERA!
A lot of music nowadays just doesn’t hold up compared to the legends of yesterday. The old masters of Rock, Rap/Hip Hop, and even Pop are untouchable compared to the auto-tuned, soulless, packaged in plastic for your protection artists and music now.
You're talking about barbershop quartets. LOL
What Joe M said 100%
Brian May is still alive, the guitarist. He is grey 😜
You know Queen hon you just don’t know you know them. Go down the rabbit hole. You’ll see what I mean.
Great reaction Val, it's good for you to know the oldish goldish song like that. That's very complex song. Now you can compare it with Alip's cover to this song....
I knowwww! Now I can appreciate Alip a lot more!! ❤️
@@ValenciaGamble that's great... 👍
Barbershop quartet is the word you are looking for.
I know Valencia reviewed this 2 years ago but I just watched her watching it and it was fun. But what I’m wondering is…. Do these young kids ever consider how (forgive me but) boring their music is today? I’ve heard many reviewers say how great our music is but, how do they think we view their stuff today?
You can check video alip_ba_ta cover fingerstyle QUEEN bohemian rapsody
His fenomenal
DONE!!!
It's called a barbershop quartet.
I can’t recommend enough to listen to Queen with earphones or earbuds. Especially for Bohemian Rhapsody, because they pan the sound from left ear to right and back again. This is a legendary song, and it broke everyone’s preconceived ideas about rock music when it was released in 1975. I was 16 years old and I was captivated the first time I heard it. Three years ago at a Green Day concert, they played this over the speakers during a break and the 60,000 people in the audience sang it! 60,000 people all knew the words to a song released well before they were born. It was absolutely incredible. Here is the link if you’d like to listen to it. th-cam.com/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/w-d-xo.html. Queen, unlike most other bands, were actually better live, in no small part due to the lead singer Freddie Mercury. He had such charisma on stage it is hard to take your eyes off him, and so devoted were his fans they would obey his every whim. He could conduct them like they were his orchestra. Two very good examples are Under Pressure and Love of my Life, both live at Wembley Stadium 1986. I loved your reaction and respect to the song, so I’d love to see you react to more Queen. Another highly recommended is Somebody to Love live at Montreal 1981. So amazing. And just as a side note, you mean a barbershop quartet..the guys in the red and white striped shirts. Those harmonies in the beginning were all Freddie, who has a 4 octave range but the high Galileos were from Roger Taylor the drummer who had a range almost as good as Freddie.
You heard Queens Music but you probably didn't know it was there music you were listening to. You have to listen to their music with headphones there's a lot more art going into the sound. It's a different experience. React to: We Will Rock You, We are the Champions, Another One Bites the Dust, Somebody to Love, Love of My Life, The Show Must Go On, Under Pressure, and You're My Best Friend.
Literally just said this same thing in my newer reaction lol it hasn’t been posted yet. I react to tons of songs then lock them. So it’s just waiting to be unlocked.
The opening is just Freddie
You must wear headphones when doing
Reactions
The.guys in the striped shirt were.Barbershop Quartets.
All that harmonization is by one guy; that is all Freddie. Oh, those were called barbershop quartets.
I think you're thinking of the barbershop quartet that's who you're thinking of is the red and white shirts
try live aid concert at wembley uk 1987. audience 200000
The singer, Freddy, was making this song in the 70's. He was gay, that ime for his motger and family a big problem. But he choose to just face the truth and be open, to not die... and be free. He was a poor shy guy. But he choose to go his own way. 1991 he died of aids. But he was a big musicisn. He wrote a song with John Lennon, from The Beatles.
😁❤💪
Now for the female version of Freddie: Nightwish - Gost Love Score
