It was a special mike stand without its base. He had broken it off during an earlier concert and continued to use it in his appearances. Someone stood by to toss it to him when he got up from the piano, because it could not stand on its own.
@julieb3996 same, I just started getting into queen the past couple months and realized that a lot of songs by them are songs that I've heard many times without realizing they were queen
@@paulinaledesma855 I have noticed the floating spots in several of his videos. I love the way he acknowledges our beautiful musicians who have passed.
I noticed that nobody mentioned in the comments..this song..was a 2 in 1. Whenever true Rock Radio/Video Stations played this song back then..it was never on its own. We Will Rock You played first and We Are The Champions.. right after. It was considered and played as one song (With both names included in the title).
I love your communication with the artists, your honesty, your humour, your originally, and your humanity. You are one of a kind in the very best way. Cannot wait until you reach 100K, no one deserves it more!
Texas Magnolia I do agree humour can cross a line, but I think Leo is exploring and finding his voice, determining where the line is. I can see a continuous recognition of the changes he is trying to make while keeping the essence of his reactions the same. Growth, learning and acceptance are all integral, and comedy it truly one of the last bastions. His channel is certainly not for everyone, there are absolutely some NSFW moments. I wear headphones if I’m listening around my kids. But his heart and vulnerability shine through beyond the humour and that is what I’m continually drawn to. He has a unique quality that I have yet to see in other TH-camrs.
That microphone 🎤 is iconic and here's why, early in Queen's career, he was apparently mid-show when his mic stand snapped in half. Instead of having it replaced, Freddie just used it as-is. He must have liked it, because he used the mic "stick" from then on.
Lool this was one of his less outrageous outfits 😄. He knew that his outfits would attract attention and give the people something to talk about. I always wondered how Brian never got injured the way Freddie was swinging that microphone stick around sometimes 😁
Dude, you won't regret reacting to Queen at Live Aid 1985. Seriously. We will all be at home singing and clapping with you and Freddie Mercury is fully dressed in regular clothes and owning the entire show.
Yes!!! I know it’s long, but it’s a must Mr. Leo- Everyone thats reacted has done it- it flies by cuz it’s sooo good! Don’t let the time keep you from doing it- it’s a MUST watch- ❤️💜✌️✨
I think their best live performance of this song is at Live Aid. It is spine chilling to see the audience reaction. Please do their entire 20 minute set. It’s 20 minutes of pure brilliance
Another One Bites The Dust was written by John Deacon ... if you check out the songwriting credits you’ll see that there are a lot of songs written by one member and others that were co-written by more than one member and then you’ll see that they all were attached to some of the biggest hits each of them wrote and so many will sneak up on you !!
Thank you for a pure reaction. Thank you for your fearless choice in music genres. Soon other reactors will mimic you. I dare you to react to classical music. You are on your way to the top my friend.
Let’s praise also...Brian May’s unique guitar sounds; Roger May being one of the greatest drummer in history and his vocals lending to Freddie’s sound in live performances; John Decon’s unbelievable bass lines AND...As a Band, All The Brilliantly written songs!
Who Wants to Live Forever is one from Queen you NEED in your life. The emotion is so raw and so beautiful. I cannot tell you how many people I know that want this played at their funeral because of how powerful it is. The fact that he passed away so young and in such a tragic way makes it all the more so. I promise you that it will move you deeply.
Everybody who knew Freddie says they still feel him around, so why not you, too? I believe he is still hanging around also. Either way, he is a legend among legends.
Just realised you have Freddy in the background. YEAH!!!! Me so happy! Please please please do the Queen at Live Aid!!!! It's a bit longer but please do it as a Thanksgiving special or Christmas...It would be a real treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no other channel out there, that I feel, gives as honest and heartfelt reactions as you. And I honestly feel your pain brother I just got finished with my divorce after 11 years. It's hell being alone. Especially when you have kids. Keep your chin up. You're going places man. Love your videos.
I know, right? I keep hoping Mr. Video will react to Queen at Live Aid in 1985. That performance will always remind everyone to never forget how awesome Freddie Mercury was!
dude, your humor, personality and quick witty/clever responses are amazing and hilarious. you would give tosh.0 a run for his money. you need your own show...wait you already have it. i wish you success in what ever you are trying to accomplish. been watching when you has 20k subscribers and were out of work and little down. amazing rebound bro, much respect.
Queen - The Show Must Go On Apparently Freddie was really really poorly when he recorded the song and coming towards the end of his life. Brian May didn’t think he was capable of singing it. 🥺 But he did and it’s absolutely amazing vocally!
His "flamboyant" looks can definitely make us pause. For one, any unusual look is going to be something we're not used to seeing. Perhaps more to the point, our culture is still slowly evolving in how we view homosexuality, and I'm sure there are many of us who accept gay people in an abstract way, but who aren't yet comfortable actually facing it, especially when it's male-male. Not judging anyone here, just acknowledging that culture moves slowly. What I take away from FM's boldness is pure courage. It would be bold today, let alone forty years ago! #fearless
@@nutthief he was 100% gay. He broke up with this girlfriend because he didnt like women and couldnt stand being with a woman. And never been with a woman after her until he died. He said himself that he was gay a few times to the press.
And I as a straight older woman say, Freddy was fking awesome. Incredible talent. He was fighting a lot of demons in his life. I think being gay was not the highest on his list.
So glad you have found my favorite band of all time. Your reactions gave me chills knowing Queen has found a new fan. You have to watch "Crazy little thing called love"
Freddie was pure showman. He could make the people in the very back feel like they were right up front. Charisma for days. Not many in Rock Can do it that strong. Like I said, I fucked up.
Fun fact, a music festival in Australia back in 1974 saw queen get boo'd of stage, as no one knew who they were. Freddy said "this time next year Queen will be the greatest band in the world". True to his word they were. But on that day of the festival everybody wanted to see Billy Thorpe and the Aztecks. The even was called sunbury pop festival.
He was a musical genius in a time where live performances still could be funky, quirky, and brilliantly fun! I never got to see him live either, but I love the hell out of him!
In one of Freddie’s very very early performances, the mic stand wasn’t tightened and pulled loose. Instead of being embarrassed, Freddie chose to make it his signature shtick. Queen was one of a kind!! Brian May BUILT that red guitar himself. He still uses it today!! Loving how you’re embracing what is essentially the fabric of our young lives!! The music of the 70’s will NEVER be paralleled...now that we have auto tune!! 🙃
"Who wants to live forever" by Queen .... same level without extra flash. More personal/direct. Incredible watching you in the zone , more than anyone i ve watched ..... then , when u get tripped up... how quick you become aware of situation and regain the zone by grounding yourself with perspective gained from lifelong curiosity in Why . REspect ...
bro you've got to check out 'It makes no difference" by The Band (from the last waltz)! It's considered one of the finest, most emotional love songs ever written... It's Brilliant!
Agree, I love the Band and Rick Danko especially. That song breaks my heart. My dream reaction however is Van Morrison playing Caravan with the Band at the Last Waltz. Most epic performance.
Freddy was blessed with an amazing voice! His voice and band will be played 100 years from now. He suffered a terrible end for such a loved person and voice. When I was a kid the Highlander movie got me hooked! The soundtrack for this movie is amazingly beautiful!
Love you dear ❤ Great reaction as always. Yes, Freddie was one of a kind. They have so many great songs. If you want a nice outfit, I suggest It's a hard life 😂 Much bless to You and keep up the good work.
When Freddie started out with Queen, he was fascinated by the use of black and white in costumes, even his fingernails -painted black. Unusual at the time.
Freddie's favourite instrument to play was the audience, but his favourite prop on stage was the mic-stand.
It was a special mike stand without its base. He had broken it off during an earlier concert and continued to use it in his appearances. Someone stood by to toss it to him when he got up from the piano, because it could not stand on its own.
Freddie was different, never boring, and so very special. Freddie was something else!
Thanks Mr. Video , for showing much love to this legendary guy.
he told it like it was!
M
We love Freddie in spandex!!! Freddie wrote this one, Brian wrote We Will Rock You and John wrote Another One Bites The Dust. All great anthems!
Roger wrote Radio Gaga, also a great song.
Dont forget Roger wrote im in love with my car 😂😂
😍
This is usually paired with "We Will Rock You "
Yessss
As a kid I didn't know who made these songs, they were just fun songs that were played at school rallys
Just like fine wine and cheese...they go together 😁
@julieb3996 same, I just started getting into queen the past couple months and realized that a lot of songs by them are songs that I've heard many times without realizing they were queen
I LOVE how much you LOVE Freddie 💗
Freddie really is an undeniable talent! He is infamous.
@@RUSHChick an absolute QUEEN 👑 in every sense. Such an incredible natural talent.
@@kirstenoxbury7559 Freddie didn't care as long as he was always fabulous!
I love the end of this video when you said you aren't talking to a doll, you are talking to Freddie. That is beautiful.
i thought that was beautiful too! Did you happen to see the orb floating around when he said that??
@@paulinaledesma855 I have noticed the floating spots in several of his videos. I love the way he acknowledges our beautiful musicians who have passed.
@@sherri6890 same! It makes me so happy to see the way music makes him happy lol
Edit: Mr. Video has the way.
I noticed that nobody mentioned in the comments..this song..was a 2 in 1.

We Will Rock You played first and We Are The Champions.. right after.

blackbird8900 great post 👍💛
But, sometimes the disrespect through jokes is not funny. Humor can cross a line.

😂😂 Yes, or sometimes Freddie would eat up Brians guitar, or something like that 😁
It's not a sporting event without at least two Queen songs.
And Championships get three!
Do you disagree?
Dude, you won't regret reacting to Queen at Live Aid 1985. Seriously. We will all be at home singing and clapping with you and Freddie Mercury is fully dressed in regular clothes and owning the entire show.
Yes, please do this! It’s about 25 mins long but worth every second!
🔥🔥 This needs to happen TODAY!! Mr. Video please 😉
Yes!!! I know it’s long, but it’s a must Mr. Leo- Everyone thats reacted has done it- it flies by cuz it’s sooo good! Don’t let the time keep you from doing it- it’s a MUST watch- ❤️💜✌️✨
@@kimberlinibambini1988 Watching that performance had me immediately buying his music again.
@@kimberlinibambini1988 I would totally even pay to Zoom or web ex in.
Keep talking to Freddy he hears you!!!!
R.I.P. FREDDIE WE ARE TALKING TO YOU TOO!!!!
We miss you Freddie your legend live on through us!
You have to watch the movie based on Freddie Mercury's life & Queen. Its BRILLIANT! It's called Bohemian Rhapsody I promise you'll love it! 💯🤟🤟🎤🎸🎵🎶
Yeah too bad that movie was not exactly... honest.
Mr. Video got it as a gift and tried to watch it live on YT, but he got hit and the stream went m.i.a. shame tho it was pretty fun while it lasted.
You are a Champion 🏆
My dad's in chemo right now, and your vids are a bright spot in my days. Thanks for sharing from hilarious to serious and all that's in-between. 🎶⭐🎶
Best vibes to your family 💕
@@WiseFlyAiDesign I appreciate your kind words... Thank you 💖
Whenever it's played on the radio, it is always We Will Rock You followed by We Are The Champions!
Live aid concert 1985 , best 20 minutes you will ever see on stage ,go for it ,you deserve it !!!

The mic stand deserves its own TH-cam channel.
Back in the day, managing the microphone, stand and cables was an art in itself. It was always obvious when someone was a novice.
Thank you for a pure reaction.
Thank you for your fearless choice in music genres.
Soon other reactors will mimic you.
I dare you to react to classical music. You are on your way to the top my friend.
Pines of Rome.
I've been trying to convince some reactors to do some jazz. La Fiesta by Maynard Ferguson would blow their minds.
React to the full concert of Queen in África Live Aid Festival like 20 min its been said is the best live performance of a rock band in history!!
I remember getting this album on cassette tape for my 8th birthday. I jammed to it on my huffy bike and the walkman.
Check out the Queen song I'm in love with my car. The drummer sings that one.
Let’s praise also...Brian May’s unique guitar sounds; Roger May being one of the greatest drummer in history and his vocals lending to Freddie’s sound in live performances; John Decon’s unbelievable bass lines AND...As a Band, All The Brilliantly written songs!

As far as Freddie's wardrobe: "If you got it, flaunt it." And Freddie had it.
You gonna have to make room on the wall for your 100K Plaque !!!! Coming soon !!!!
Freddie was Freddie! There will never be another!
Just realised you have Freddy in the background. YEAH!!!! Me so happy! Please please please do the Queen at Live Aid!!!! It's a bit longer but please do it as a Thanksgiving special or Christmas...It would be a real treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Queen! RIP Freddie! Keep up the good work Mr. Video! Please react to some Beatles and Tom Petty if you can!
There is no other channel out there, that I feel, gives as honest and heartfelt reactions as you. And I honestly feel your pain brother I just got finished with my divorce after 11 years. It's hell being alone. Especially when you have kids. Keep your chin up. You're going places man. Love your videos.
I love when you talk to Freddie tell him I miss him
I've heard this song too many times but you made it new again!
It's fun watching you discover greatness! 😁💞
I know, right? I keep hoping Mr. Video will react to Queen at Live Aid in 1985. That performance will always remind everyone to never forget how awesome Freddie Mercury was!
That would be incredible.
Flamboyant Freddie. Loud and proud.
I would love to see you react to 'who wants to live forever'. The song is only on Soundtrack of Highlander. 😍😘
Queen at live aid a must see
I adore your reaction style. It’s like we are in the room with you, good times. XO❤️
I love the fact that you talk to the artists. I've been known to blurt an occasional "Damn Freddie!" when a note hits just right. Love your channel.
I bet youd love Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury -state of shock. its one of the most spectacular duets ever.
So happy you found Queen ..Seeing you react is everything🌟 They'll never ever be anyone like Freddie. I talk to him sometimes too.😊
You're never alone man, not really. Almost 100k of us, and we think YOU Are The Champion.
Hell yea, ya get chills listening to Queen!! If you don't, you're not alive. 😁
dude, your humor, personality and quick witty/clever responses are amazing and hilarious. you would give tosh.0 a run for his money. you need your own show...wait you already have it. i wish you success in what ever you are trying to accomplish. been watching when you has 20k subscribers and were out of work and little down. amazing rebound bro, much respect.
Thanks Mr cool Video ,this song really touches your heart Freddy R.I.P. miss you forever , love for Queen :)
Your reactions give me life.......I'm loving the open mindedness of the old school and classics.
Great Reaction! Watch Somebody to love, 1981, live in Montreal. Best performance of all time.❤️
That was a great performance, BUT their segment at Live Aid in 1985 was the way to own a show!
Ben and Jerry I agree, Elton John backstage: ” You bastards, you stole the show!”
I just love Queen.
Queen - The Show Must Go On
Apparently Freddie was really really poorly when he recorded the song and coming towards the end of his life. Brian May didn’t think he was capable of singing it. 🥺
But he did and it’s absolutely amazing vocally!
I can’t listen to this song without crying 😭
Freddy told Brian The show must go on. Have you seen Freddy sing The Great Prender, gave me chills!!!
Ok you're on the right path please Somebody to love live
He will shit his pants with that one.
The joy i experience when someone today sees the greatness that happened 40 or so years ago makes me feel like we’re going to make it.

What I take away from FM's boldness is pure courage. It would be bold today, let alone forty years ago! #fearless
We weren't nearly as uptight forty years ago.
he was bysexual . he loved men and women equally . back then, that was more taboo than just being gay.
@@nutthief he was 100% gay. He broke up with this girlfriend because he didnt like women and couldnt stand being with a woman. And never been with a woman after her until he died. He said himself that he was gay a few times to the press.

I love all of queens music. YOU COULD LOOK IN FREDDIE'S EYES AND SEE HOW TRUELY BEAUTIFUL HIS SOUL WAS. R.I.P FREDDIE WE LOVE YOU❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️
Freddie was the ultimate showman, a true superstar. I’m glad you appreciate him so much. 💜
We are all champions in our unique way, but it takes great courage to win and stand tall.
This song came out in 1977 I was 16 And loved being a 70s Brat
Just love how you chat with the artists in the videos! Thanks for making me laugh!!!
He gives me chills me all the time.
THAT voice!
Love following you always make my day your the best
Freddie was pure showman. He could make the people in the very back feel like they were right up front. Charisma for days. Not many in Rock Can do it that strong. Like I said, I fucked up.
I'm sending you a bigger and better picture of Queen for your wall love! Great reaction!!!!
Queen: Princes of the Universe
Adam Ant: Goody Two Shoes
Adam Ant: Room At The Top
You are our champion to us and you’re never ever alone you got us and we got you. Much Love ❤️❤️❤️

He was pure genius! That attire was popular during the glow rock days, and Bowie often wore outfits like that too...
Freddie is the GOAT ,this remind me of sporting event openings. matter of fact I heard it at a foot ball game .
He was a musical genius in a time where live performances still could be funky, quirky, and brilliantly fun! I never got to see him live either, but I love the hell out of him!
Freddy was truly gifted. Gay Zoroastrian! He was totally comfortable in spandex.
There is no one like Queen.....nuff said...🎼🎶🎹🎤🎸🎵🎵😎
You're going to love the Live Aid footage - what Freddie can do with a crowd of people that aren't even necessarily fans is astonishing.
You're like a one-man improv show with music and comedy! The best!!
Classic British Rock=Genius
I'm here to follow your Queen journey.
Don't feel bad about talking to Freddie, I thank him daily for what he's brought to the world. 🌍❤️🙏
Omg I'm glad you noticed how John Deacon licks his fingers when he plays bass. 😂
I saw that too, cute!

Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe singing Barcelona at La Nit ( live) is very well worth hearing.

I can never get enough of Queen ❤
Loving how your honoring Queen. Would love to see you react to their song "Prince's of the Universe". You won't regret it.✌💜🎶
bro you've got to check out 'It makes no difference" by The Band (from the last waltz)! It's considered one of the finest, most emotional love songs ever written... It's Brilliant!

All i can think is the end of Revenge of The Nerds. I love how Hollywood incorporates Queen in a lot of their productions.
Blessings
Usually, it’s We Will Rock You that goes straight into We Are the Champions.
Please react to Killer Queen by Queen!
Brian wrote “We will rock you” & Freddie wrote “We are the Champions” normally played together. Should do the Live Aid set. 🔥
Queen/Death On Two Legs from the 1975 album A Night At The Opera.
Oh my Mr. Video, you are a champion at what you do! Your deep appreciate and emotion to music decades of years old just shows it. Love your channel.
Mr V, as far as Freddie's outfits go this one was a little on the subdued side.
Don't Worry Bro, Your the Champion of Reactions
PS. Did you know that there was a stage musical based on Queen songs? I went to see it in London once and really enjoyed it!
queen is probably one of the few artist/band that sound better live
