AndyReacts you guys should react to I want to break free music video by queen and love of my life live by queen or seven seas of rhye live music video by queen
Next one It's Late man.
I love how you are learning and appreciating Queen, song by song. They are Mint x
+
Do "Play the Game" Montreal!!! Thanks.
Such a great song. Hell, all of Queen’s songs are so good. One of my favorite songs of theirs. Love the energy of this song. Queen is my favorite band, led by the greatest frontman of all time. When you get a chance listen to this song vocals only (acapella), it’s stunning. Actually listen to many of their songs vocals only on You Tube. It will blow you away all over again. Their songs vocals only really showcase Freddie’s unparalleled vocal talent; and Queen’s exquisite and unreal harmonies. Love me some Mr. Fahrenheit ❤️. And Brian May on that guitar though. 🎸
Freddie, Brian, and Roger- Let's all wear really cool, rock star outfits.
John- I'mma wear this sweet sweater vest.
Well, to be honest it was pretty much Professor Brian, Diva Freddie, Playboy Roger and Tax Collector John.
So well put!!
@@handsolo1209 🤣🤣
He was punk rock...total rebel. He liked it and he rocked it. I dig it! Lolol
I always kinda of felt bad that John wasn't covered that much by the camera compared to the rest, but after learning more about his personality, I really think he liked it that way, I think he loved to play, but really didn't want the "spotlight" They are all legends in their own right, they allowed one another to shine and the balance between vocals and instruments, just unbelievable, have yet to see another band accomplish that, usually one instrument is playing louder and over the other.
If this song doesn't put a smile on someone's face they are dead inside.
It is the way he sings,walks , plays the piano , dances, struts, lookseverything
I love those knowing glances that one gives the other
Like another person pointed out, the university of missouri did a study recently to find the worlds happiest song. It turned out to be don't stop me now. I grew up with an older sister playing queen all the time. She took me to see them live when I was 14, they were on "The Works" tour. Still the best live concert I've seen. Ever since no other band or artist have come close for me. Listened through all their albums after that and was stunned at the music. Queen II is still my favourite.
is that true? :D i literally just left a comment saying it was the happiest song ever, but that was my opinion, i had no idea that it was everyone's happiest song! this and Mr Blue Sky by ELO - happiness bursting out all over :)
A similar study was done here in the UK some years back, and found that the song could be potentially dangerous if radio DJs played it at times of heavy traffic, as it was determined that this song actually made drivers drive faster than they would normally. Drivers were unconsciously changing gears and accelerating in time with the beat of the song.
@@jonnylumberjack6223 yes it is. You can see lots of newspapers reporting it. Just Google.
@@SP-yl1qz wow, makes sense really. So it's the happiest song only if you're not driving 😂😂
Universities are STUPID. THIS IS WHAT THEY CONSENTRATE ON? NO WONDWR OUR GRADS ARE STUPID. MAGA
john deacon wearing the most un,,,rock n roll outfit everrrrr,freddie rocks up in leather,and john rocks up in his dads clothes lol
cheyennebritbrat - yeah that’s called personality ❤️
Deacy’s a legend
Gotta be a stud to rock granddad's sweater.
LOL. It's called confidence!
He had the 'Quiet' cool, did Johnny.
Btw Fred's vocals in this song is out of this dimension. Greatest singer, performer and composer of all time. Brian's guitar solo can make the devil fall in love with music. John's bass can't be heard very clear in this song, but if it wasn't there it wouldn't be as groovy as it is. And Roger's drumming is epic! The best band.
Greatest band playing for the greatest front man in history!! IMO
Amen to that
In The History of Music. Incredible, Unstoppable, Fabulous, Unmistakable, Dream makers! Majestic, Regal, Intelligence beyond belief. Eloquence, Articulation, Calming...F---ING PERFECTION.!
Mia Johansen - Live in concert Deaky's bass was BOOMING. It always seemed it was toned down in the studio mix. Pity!
@@susieq9801 exactly! What a pity, because that man really knew how to make a beat!
"I'm a racing car, flashing by, like Lady Godiva!"
So, Freddie, that's like a nude racing car, on a horse? Fantastic!
Great song.
So many wonderful bands from the UK in the 70s we were blessed!🇬🇧
The diversity of Queen music is based on their experimentations mixing different genres of music, but also on the fact that they were 4 geniuses with completely different personalities and taste in music. Put everything together and you get a whole variety of unique songs. Not to mention back then you wouldn't find things like an operatic or flamenco section in a rock song. Freddie's duet with the opera singer Montserrat Caballé in the song "Barcelona" (I don't remember if you guys have watched that) was the very first time such a thing happened.
This song is like..., I don't know. It's like the perfect song to get you hyped. It's as if Freddie was showing us what partying is all about with a masterpiece. Great reaction, guys, thank you so much!!!
Absolutely agree that you NEED to hear Barcelona [the album as well as the song]. As bonkers as the idea of Freddie singing with an opera star seemed at first when they announced it, this is a brilliant marriage of two great talents. Then after that, there is still so much Queen stuff to react to. I agree with a lot of others who have suggested It's Late, or from the first couple of albums there are still so many gems. Ogre Battle [with Brian's great palindromic guitar riff!] and Fairy Feller's Masterstroke are great choices. Keep reacting! Its great to see you both enjoy the music I love so much, Andy. Im very glad you have Alex along on this journey too! Im a fan! :)
You saved me a bunch of typing. Thank you!
I love this song!!!!
This song never gets old. :)
This song along with Bohemian Rhapsody are my mom's two favorite Queen songs and I have so many great memories of us blasting them in the house and singing along. I was probably 5 or 6 when I first heard it. It's just so fun!
It's a very fun song. Queen were very good at making people happy when they wanted to.
Heard this song in Umbrella Academy and was up dancing around the house. Like always when I hear it!
That is a pure adrenaline shot! I listen to it all the time. Before interviews, conferences, work, going out, etc.... It's a song that makes you feel like you can take on the world!!
That's why they call him Mr. Farhenheit, it makes us travel in the speed of light! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸🎸🎸👑🌟
so true💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Absolutely. Spot on!
This Song make me happy ♥️
From "THE #1 DAVID BOWIE FAN" I SAW QWEEN LIVE IN FRANKFURT GERMANY,AND TO MY SURPRISE... DAVID BOWIE CAME OUT AND THEY SANG UNDER PRESSURE!!! I PISSED MYSELF!!! I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN!!!
I would have too! Lucky, lucky you!
When was Queen in Frankfurt?
@@lordvader798 That was in late 1981,I can't remember the venue though,however there were no seats on the floor,and the venue held about 25,000 or so,its where i saw DAVID BOWIE IN 1977 on his "STAGE"TOUR which was flawless! I was stationed in the U.S.ARMY during those years! My GOD how i miss DEUTCHLAND!!! UBER ALLE!!! DEUTSCHLAND IST SEHR SCHÖN!!!
ROBERT WILLISON wow amazing! Freut mich dass du Deutschland so magst! 🇩🇪🇺🇸
@@lordvader798 Ehrlich! Ich Liebe Deutchland!!!
Seven Seas Of Rhye is a great song! But I would highly recommend listening to the entire Queen II album. Most of the tracks move into each other.
The Black Queen This is always my advice, too, but probably doesn’t work for a YT reactor who is responding to the votes of his audience.
Freddie playing the opening piano is amazing and so fast.
I miss the storyline feature of older rock albums.
I agree. Seven Seas of Rhye is a great track - and I especially like the live performance of it during the Rainbow concert in '74 - Freddie's really giving it all he's got during that performance.
One of my favorites! It has a Broadway feel, Freddie looks so good, as did Brian. “A sex machine, ready to reloaded, like an atom bomb, I’m gonna wow wow wow explode!” I love that line.
"about to woah oh oh oh oh explode!"
"reload". Reloaded doesn't rhyme with whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa explode. ;¬)
@@hellsbells8689 Freddie's naughty lyrics 😂❤
Crazy how I still hear this song and many other Queen songs in commercials/movies EVERYWHERE, Queen is eternal ❤️
This is the happiest song in my iPod and I have over 700 songs! I LOVE FREDDIE! And I love that you love Queen so much! Thanks guys!
I first heard this song whenI was 15! It’s on the album “Jazz”, a very understated Queen record...Listen...
If you look closely at Mercury's T-shirt, you can see that it says Mineshaft. It was a popular gay bar in New York that he enjoyed visiting in the late 70s and early 80s.
That's right! My cousin was a NYC police officer and that time and they raided the place. Because of Freddie's fame, they discreetly took him in in her police car rather than a van full of other guys. It was for their own safety because of the AIDS crisis. Unfortunately, at that time, she really didn't know who he was but her partner told Freddie, "Freddie, thank the pretty cop" and he did!
@@janetcaruana8525 OMG what a cool story.
@@janetcaruana8525 Wow! Very cool.
I was trying to figure out what his shirt said. Thanks!
Wow I like this duo of you two reacting together! more Queen reactions with you both !!
“🎶200 degrees, that’s why they call me Mr. Farenheeeeiiit🎵🎶...” ❤️it!! Thanks, Andy & Alex for adding a smile to my Wednesday and my 44th🎂!! Lol😄 When they performed this in Japan in 1979, Roger kinda helped a lot, seemed like Freddie strained his voice too much from back to back concerts... th-cam.com/video/VCP0wrsWYwg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again for reacting to this happy Queen song💕
Roger carried the vocals in concert whenever Freddie’s voice was giving out. You can hear it in the Wembley concerts, among others.
@@hannyhawkins7804 When you see the evidence of the mutual support society that was Queen, is any wonder they eventually wrote "Friends will be Friends?" What a beautiful thank you note to Friends who put up with and stand by us!
Carrie Staker Great comment. Yes indeed. And its no coincidence that Queen threads largely free of the flame wars that mar so much of social media.
I voted Father to Son and it only got 11% of the votes!!! Thats because people don’t know it. It’s a gem, really!!
@Santi Perez Viso
I’ll try to get to all of them eventually! It’s just a matter of, in what order! 😁
@@andyandalex i recommend you go straight to the live version '74 at the Rainbow... watch?v=hdQrButy2go
Father and Son, My Fairy Queen and Jesus - put them all on the list. Three reasons why Queen were amazing, right from the starting blocks.
I've posted that song every Father's Day for years and I doubt if more than 2 friends have ever bothered to listen! It's a gem, for sure.
These guys are just blown away by Queens. They are all GRINS.
I saw the movie at a second run theater in the afternoon on a weekday so there were maybe 25 of us total in the theater and 95% of us were 60+. This song played during the closing credits and it was fun watching some of my peers dancing up the aisle to this song. :) I was still in my seat watching the credits but bopping around.
@SonshineLady
That’s awesome! Such a feel good song!
Please react to Queen "Who Wants to Live Forever". Amazing song.
Yesss 😍
Tom Agree! One of the best ballads by Freddie ever! Brilliant!
@@patmcnair2784 but brian wrote the song
Check the live performance tho 😉
Agreed, if not seen seen Too Much Love Will Kill You. Thought Who Wants to Live Forever was my favourite Queen song until I heard this.
Real Queen classic how have you not heard this one Andy, never mind lol.
The live version of this is really great but the studio one your hearing is just as good.
Class May riffs.
Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.
@Mike Embleton
My parents didn’t show me any queen lol, and they were the only way I would’ve been able to really explore older music, and we’ll have to check out a live performance sometime!
being a huge Queen fan for 30 years now (since I was petty much born) the first record I held was my dads copy of bohemian rhapsody he got when it released originally, I've always been memorised by them, I was only super young when Freddie passed away, but one of my fondest memories, is in primary school (little kids school for 4-10/11 yr old's here in the UK) It was fancy dress day, I dressed as Freddie as a 7 yr old kid, neither my mums or dads idea, but mine, apparently I said I loved him and wanted to honour him in school, so I went in, people mocked me for wearing the yellow jacket and a drawn on tash' but I loved every minute of it and "attempted" to sing this song in front of my class, I don't care I got laughed at, I loved every minute :) and since, I've always had a huge passion for Queen and Freddie in particular, there is nothing to compare to in regards to his tone, style, vocal performance and his overall genius lyrically and musically. Fun fact: when he was 7-8 years old he'd he'd pretty much mastered playing piano.. that say's it all :) so to sum it up, I'm just always glad that new generations are discovering Queen's brilliance and that some who haven't really listened to them are delving deeply into the catalogue of bliss that is Queen :)
Great Reaction!!! Always a treat to have Alex along on the Queen journey! Aside. From the science behind "happy music", another fun fact: Top Gear UK audience voted this UK's favorite driving song! Shaun of the Dead scene is MADE by this in soundtrack! Loved it!
Another study--I don't know why they do these things---proclaimed "We Are The Champions" the best sing-along song ever, and broke it down to list all the elements of Freddie's song.
that song became a HUGE hit in the UK...you need to watch the Bar scene Zombie attack in the Movie (Shaun of the Dead) that song is playing while they are battling Zombies in a UK Pub hysterically funny
love this scene :-)
Yes, bar scene was great, and they were hitting the zombie with the cue sticks to the beat of the music! ha ha And did you notice the song at the very end of the movie? They snuck that one in there!
the scene is epic! "dave! kill the queen!" *lol
Such an iconic scene. I was cheering and dancing in my seat in the theater like an idiot.
@@JohnHazelwood58 I love "How'd that get on there?" "It was on random" As if it's not cool--they wouldn't have played That, and then they are all taken over by the beat of that song--while trying to kill a zombie! or just watching, or flipping the switches!
Death on two legs Queen - freaking Epic
@R Fick
I did it already, LOVED IT!!
All Time favorite! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
I just love seeing you smile when you hear these for the first time. It's such a simple song in many ways, unbridled joy! But Freddie's vocals definitely do take it to another dimension. He was a truly amazing vocalist. I can't think of anyone who comes close... Robert Plant? It's horrible to compare, but we all do it. I saw Robert Plant live a couple of years ago and I was so, so happy to hear that his voice is every bit as good as it ever was. Powerful, soaring. I never saw Freddie live, and I can only imagine the thrill. I really think his voice must be one of the wonders of nature! And the way he smoked and drank, and still it was there! Even in his very last recordings, only weeks before he died and was so unwell, his voice is still just so powerful. I've been gradually buying the Queen back catalogue (sadly, my entire record collection, yes vinyls, was stolen way back in 1989) and I was listening to Innuendo, and some of the tracks from Made in Heaven. I literally had shivers down my spine. The intensity, the power, the range.
Freddie's voice is definitely one of a kind. Not to knock others voices but as you pointed out, he was just so versatile. He could sing anything and sing it so awesomely!! My husband and I have "discussed" lead singers with him siding with Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey and both are great but stay in their lanes (hard rock). Freddie crossed lanes, danced over the lines and twirled against the traffic!!!😉 🕺
@@anitasmith6042 You might enjoy playing the youtube video for your husband, very brief, of Robert Plant, in 1992 at the Tribute, talking about how some other singers there won't mention it, but they're having to change the key the song is in because they can't "do a Freddie."
The show must go on. Freddie got out of his sick bed, took a shot of vodka and said, let’s do this. As sick as he was, his vocals are amazing.
He wasn’t sick here
2:58 Roger just KILLED in this part!
Possibly the happiest song ever written. Impossible to listen to and not smile. The lyrics have been embedded in my brain for decades now. Lovely stuff :)
Hello boys...thank you from the UK...😊😊😊
Queen - Spread your wings
the two of you bobbing your heads says it all! infectious vibes!!
This is the Queen song that never fails to make me smile and get me inspired on a less than perfect day. I wear a silver guitar pick stamped with "Don't Stop Me Now" around my neck every day to remind me. Freddie made a supersonic woman of me! LOL
If Queen’s harmonies are an A+ then The Eagles are an A+++
Great song and reaction! I first heard this when it came out and I was in mid-school. I heard some critics of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie criticizing the portrayal of John Deacon in a sweater vest, but apparently they weren't familiar with this video, which is what the movie was giving homage to and I immediately picked up.
Some of those critics were a bit insulting to Joe & John. Read one that said the bass player faded into the background & another said he amounted to nothing more than a studio musician. Honestly with John being known for being quiet, we got more out of him than I was expecting. I also noticed, as far as pointing out who wrote what song, they pointed more out for John, than anyone else.
Dude is that first time u hear that song ? Congratulation you hv soul now
Wonderful. If you notice (3:22 - 3:34) , Brian plays the Red Special, and he plays it - as he used to do - with a penny coin.
:-)
Specifically a 10-pence piece -- roughly the diameter of a quarter and the width of a dime.
@@LeChaunce Yes....
:-)
It used to be a sixpence, before the new currency.
Bass, Drums, guitar solo and The Voice! Perfect
White queen. Hammersmith odeon. A masterpiece!!
Yes, agree! Have asked several to react to that but nobody has yet! Oh well, their loss!! 😁
@@lizmagu3189 shhh... don't tell to anybody! It's a secret between us!!😉😉😂
I love watching you guys discover these songs! It's so great to see young people so blown away by the greatest band of all time!
Haha! What a surprise! Thank you so much! I've been looking forward to this since your first Queen reaction! THANK YOU! 😁
You ran out of the theatre to not hear the song! That makes me laugh so much. 🤣Actually, the THREE of them sing so well together. 😜. John didn’t sing, he just mimed it occasionally on videos. But, yes, their vocals are phe-NOM-e-nal!! Just a tight, tight happy-go-lucky song to put you in a great mood. Lovely reaction, as always, guys! Keep it up. Queen Wednesdays are literally one of my highlights for the day each week. 😊❤️
I love how everybody says they love watching you guys loving Queen. Sometimes I miss Freddie SOOO much, tho’, I just have to be alone & cry for awhile. What a force of nature he was. RIP Freddie.
I've been a Queen fan since the 70's and have seen them twice
in concert (fantastic!!) but I wonder how many more of younger
people are now listening to them,due to the popularity of the
film?..."Don't stop me now"..was great... I'm so glad you
enjoyed this track..
Nice to see new school meeting old school - it was the 70's and music didn't have the technology it has now - glad you enjoyed this song
You guys make so happy with your “in awe” gazes, lol I love it!!!🖤🖤🖤
Unmatched musical talents, all four members of Queen plus their crew.
One of their very best!!! Thank you....Also did you note that they told Brian it was going to be a Star Trek song, Roger a colorful birthday gig, Freddie a super cool all leather something scene, and John thought he was going to (what?) tea at an aunt's house???? You just can't get better than this!
I agree that Who Wants to Live Forever (one of my favorite lyrics to live by, "this world has only one sweet moment set aside for us") would be good, but it was in the movie....Still pushing for In the Lap of the Gods (Revisited)....you guys are great! Waiting for Wednesday!
This is a fantastic comment. Every bit of it, but especially the fashion commentary.😁🤣😂😆
You've got to love the diversity! Especially Deaky, he was his own man - not influenced to change from his mild mannered self to fit in with what was expected of a "rocker"!!! 🤣🤵
@@anitasmith6042 The diversity is what makes them so amazing!!! Otherwise there would be no "Spread Your Wings" , "Radio Ga Ga", "Who Wants to Live Forever", or "The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke". I love them all!😊
@@sheerqueencat5089 Absolutely!!!
Anita Smith I think by this stage in their career Queen and their stylists are having a little joke, actually. Each of them is in a an ever so slightly exaggerated version of his own style.
This song never fails to make me happy. Queen... Legends.
I love the look on your face at the end of the song. So relatable!
Haha, during "floating around in ecstasy", you both face show exactly that.
Freddie is a force of nature, a showman extraordinaire. Queen is a phenomenal band and I was fortunate enough to have seen them live twice in the seventies....
Thank you. It was so much fun watching you both hear this for the first time. I believe it has been voted the number one feel good song of all time. The lyrics for this are fab, listen again! I read it was written by Freddie and is all about him enjoying his new life as a gay man. Maybe the Mineshaft t-shirt he was wearing was a hidden message! Thank you for Queen Wednesdays. Please do more! Such fun :-)
Freddie Mercury has the voice of a hurricane. There is no song as beautifully sang with the beat so pure and timely and all his words are just are beautifully describes like a rolling machine. Wow!
Oh I forgot to mention... like others have said, guitar is not prominent here, and even though it is great as it is, it has been given a whole new guitar track for the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack, it sounds awesome! look for the "revisited 2018" version. Both you guys will love it.
It has become Queens second most popular song even though it was only a minor hit when released.
This for me is the best song ever. When Freddie died we lost a genius. I never got to see Queen in concert but was lucky enough to see Brian May perform a guitar solo at the end of the "We Will Rock You" stage musical in London.
The first time I heard this song I was little, I think maybe about 9 or 10 yo (I was attending elementary school) and I came across this song casually 😂
PS: I really need to say it: when Alex has his hair down, he looks like Dave Grohl 🤣
PPS: I really like your videos and your reactions to Queen songs 'cause they are so real.
Search for the isolated vocal track, its amazing.. LOVE YOU GUYS!
Woohoo, one of my favourite dancefloor tunes! This song doesnt fail to make anyone smile 😊 Loved watching you two dance along!
This is one of my "go to" happy songs I blast out in my car on the way home after a heavy day, along with The Show must go on, We will rock you, Fat bottomed girls, Another one bites the dust, I want to break free, Under pressure, oh I could go on and on! Have you reacted to I want it all yet? Love that one! Seven seas of Rhye features Freddie's truly amazing piano skills, his fingers move so fast they literally blur!
You have to do My Melancholy Blues. Probably my favorite song of Queen and thats saying a lot considering I have 82 of their songs in my playlist. Its Freddie singing jazz. Freddie’s voice is incredible in that song. Its their most underrated and lesser known tracks but its their most beautiful song imo. Trust me, you will absolutely melt.
AMAZING how well this holds up after all the years. Sounds even better. Just timeless.
Love the expressions on your faces boys, I grew up listening to Queen, so happy the younger generation are still listening !!!!! Keep up the great work. Please listen to Queen singing great pretender, Freddie's vocals ar amazing 😁
Hard to believe that anyone unless they have been locked away in a closet all their life hasn't heard Queen, after all their music is all over the place. Freddie is a true legend. Now that l have said that, WELCOME to the best of the 70's, 80's, 90's through today. Best to listen to Queen live though. Got study them - 4 members, so intelligent, gifted and just fun. ENJOY
A+ reaction to this fun Queen song! Enjoyed it as usual.
I'm just impressed you guys have never heard this song before. Like, that's some medal worthy shit right.
He made every song look effortless I’m so glad I grew up with these guys FABULOUS ♥️🇦🇺 All of them are legends everyone of them...
With all the amazing music Queen did this one is at the top of my list.I can't sit still when I'm listening to it. I saw other comments that this was found to be the world's happiest song in a university study. I have to say I'm not surprised. It always lifts me.
Brian's guitar playing/tone is so distinctive, one or two chords is all you need to hear and know it's him.
Your discovering true talent! Congratulations!
Do I see a QUEEN uprising happening? 1971 till ETERNITY! THANK YOU GOD FOR QUEEN!
Hey thanks, you see it too. Fantastic Darling!
Ciao Andy... There's a Queen song with a style that has not been covered yet... "Melancholy Blues" ... It is so sweet... It is different...
I agree, Melancholy Blues is an awesome song that deserves more attention!!💙
I agree. However, with Queen you don't have to stop there. Some others, Nevermore (Queen II '74), Lily of the Valley (Sheer Heart Attack '74), You Take My Breath Away (A Day At The Races '76), All Dead, All Dead, (News of the World '77), Jealousy (Jazz '78), 07-Life Is Real (Song For Lennon) (Hot Space '82), Bijou & Don't Try So Hard (Innuendo '91) plus another 20 I could list here. So many wonderful songs "hidden" away on their albums.
Queen harmonies are on point just like everything they do. Right up there with them, and in some cases above them, are The Beach Boys and the Beatles. I know the Beatles are almost impossible to react to but the Beach Boys are safe, no? I haven't seen anyone else react to them. They're worth a listen. "Surfer Girl" is sheer beauty. Brian Wilson kills it!
This is one of my favorite Queen songs. (Have I said that before?) I was the first of my circle of friends to own this album (Jazz) and thus the first to know this song by heart. They all knew this song before they even heard it on the radio because I wouldn't stop singing it. (I can't sing but I'm enthusiastic!) Always brings me back to childhood walking around with a boombox cranking Queen, Zep, Floyd, Beatles.... et al.
Thanks again for a great reaction from the Two A's.
Peace
They have some good Beach Boys vocal only tracks on TH-cam, it's great to strip all the instruments away and just listen to them harmonizing. Wouldn't It Be Nice and Sloop John B are my favorites I think, they'll hit these chords that are so amazing, it's like the sun coming out from behind a cloud. Queen does fantastic harmonizing but I think the Beach Boys have something extra. Maybe it's the blood relation they had and how their voices blended, the brothers harmonized together since they were kids I'm sure. And Brian was just naturally brilliant at harmonies. Our Prayer from Smile is one of the most beautiful pieces of harmonization of the 20th century, at least.
Holly:
The Beach Boys are very underrated. I think it's because of the stigma of "Beach Music." They did so much more than that. "Wouldn't it be Nice" and "Sloop John B" are two of their best even with music. I'll have to check out the vocal only versions. Sounds like something I'd highly enjoy. Thanks for the tip.
Edit: Went and checked out a few of the Boy's songs lyrics only. Now I'm pissed at you because I have another hobby!!! Ha ha
Great, as I expected.
Thanks.
man....cant help but remember dont stop me now on the 8 track...zooming down the road
I love this song. Its just a good, happy, upbeat song that never gets old. I love how @ 1:08 in the both of you smiled at the same time.
I LOVE your reaction to this great song! I love that a new generation can appreciate Queen. Anyone who loves music can appreciate Queen's talent. I am an old school R&B fan but I LOVE Queen! Thank you for posting!

From the beginnings of me listening to the Beatles, to a decade later ( there abouts ) in the 1970's, we had Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and I could probably go on for an hour....It was just an explosion of all different kinds of music, and video clips on the telly helped a lot too.....Super amazing time...I'm grateful to have grown up with wonderful music..
NEXT DO HAMMER TO FALL!!!
Oh yeah!!! 😎🎶🎸🎶🎤🎶👨🎤
Jake Pepper Good choice to follow this w Hammer to Fall.
WEMBLEY VERSION!!!
No do the normal version
That one's awfully slow and drags by comparison. Plus you don't get the actual live performance.
One of my favorite Queen songs!
Watch the Queen rehearsals for live aid. They are online. It shows how good they really were live. One of my favorite videos is the making of One Vision. They are in the studio. Make sure you watch all versions because there is one that is better than all the rest.
I love watching you guys watch Queen. It is obvious that you guys are so into great music. I think you are a guitar player, Andy. Do you play any other instruments or sing?
Isn't it amazing how wonderful they were as a 4 piece band? Perfection. I heard this song for the first time after I had heard many other Queen songs, and I was as amazed then as I still am now every time I hear them. It occurs to me that some of what made them so mesmerizing was the authenticity that all four members put into everything they did. They were perfection because nothing else would do...
I had the wonderful fortune of making records and touring the country for the better part of a decade and only in rare moments did I see that intensity and authenticity in anyone I played shows with...
How do I vote in the poll? Again, you guys rock. Keep making these reaction videos. PEACE.
And if you guys do a reaction to anyone other than Queen, please consider checking out Jeff Buckley.

I sing a bit, love music, I hope to play bar gigs for fun in the future!
I knew you'd like this one - it's really piano and bass driven, moreso than guitar. If you notice in the video, Brian goes back to "playing" guitar after finishing the final bit of the solo, but if you listen, there really isn't any guitar in that main part of the song.
I'm glad Alex mentioned Seven Seas of Rhye, cos that one's also pretty amazing. You won't be sorry for checking that one out :)
Love that you are going through all the Queen songs. This is one of my many favorites. For a live song, I would either suggest Save Me (Montreal) and/or A Kind of Magic (Wembley). Both are fantastic. If you watch Save Me, note that Brian starts off playing the piano with his guitar sstung around his neck, then he and Freddie switch places about 1/3 of the way through the song. A Kind of Magic is one of Freddie's last live performances.
You guys enjoyed this as i did the first time i watched. You guys Rock
This is my "theme" song. It never fails to lift my soul up and make me feel so good! Queen has no bad songs.
Oh those fingers! Fast a lighting. Never a mistake. Unworldly Incredibly PERFECT!
I love how you guys don't constantly pause the video while you watch it and tell us what you think at the end, you do reaction videos right.
Seeing you guys reacting to Queen is so much fun for this 70 year old lady! Thanks for the treat!
When this album came out, I was about 9 years old and I thought this song was called "Mr. Fahrenheit". I still call it that sometimes! A great song-probably the standout of the "Jazz" album.
I love watching you two and your reactions to Queens music. Freddie had the best voice ever, and that guitar!!!
