Dear Amy, you understand Brian's music so well, your interpretation is so accurate... You absolutely have to meet Brian. Brian May absolutely has to meet you… Thanks again Amy
Hopefully she gets some of the solo work. I'd love her to see the difference between Too Much Love will Kill you from Bri and Fromm Queen. I prefer Bri's version, because it was HIS feelings.The Queen version is amazing, and is associated with Freddie's passing, but is not about that.
As a lifelong Queen fan I have absolutely loved listening to you braking down these songs. When you pick out special bits that I know are coming up, it always gives me great joy. I also pray that you dip into more Queen songs after 50.
I was EXTREMELY fortunate as I was at the Knebworth Park (Festival) concert. Little did we know at the time, that it would be Freddie's final show with them. Truly memorable. Supporting them were Status Quo, Big Country and Belouis Some. The tickets were a mere £14.50! :-o I still have mine stuck in the tour programme. The T-shirt no longer fits sadly ;-)
Brian has said in interviews that the band had quite the knack for this sort of music, and while they didn't have a movement in mind, they were well aware that they were writing an anthem, something powerful that people could sing. _We Will Rock You_ was another where they knew they were writing an anthem...just not whether anyone would adopt it.
BTW this is the Single version of this song. The one in the album has a guitar intro, and a longer solo... both are amazing, incredible song by Queen as always.
@@Quotenwagnerianer IMO opinion Invisible Man should not be on any list of Queen songs that is limited to 50....but I see your point of how some of the picks seem to have been made. There have been a few surprises so far, so who knows. I think Breakthru will (and should) make it
In 1989, they still could deliver a rocker, it's a shame Freddie was ill at this point, as this could have been a major set piece in their live show, it was designed for the stage. Roger Daltrey sang this at the Mercury Phoenix tribute in 1992. I love the tempo shift near the end.
The title "I Want It All" came from Brian's then-girlfriend (now wife) Anita Dobson at Queen's 1986 Wembley show. She was a big deal at the time playing Angie Watts on a hugely-popular BBC soap opera called Eastenders. When the Wembley crowd saw her moving to her seat, they gave her a big cheer. She jokingly said to Brian May: "I want this! I want it all and I want it now!" It stuck in Brian's head and he wrote a song of the same name that he said was specifically-designed to be performed live. He said it was one of his big regrets that Freddie never got to do that. You can hear how the ascending I Want It Alls in the the song mirror the ascending "Ay-oh" scales Freddie got the crowd to sing with him at Live Aid.
You're the best Amy! I've been waiting over 2 weeks to watch this, just because I wanted almost 40min of non-interruption with . Worth the wait. I love this song, and I have to play it at ELEVEN (Spinal Tap reference....it's one more than Ten!). Brian May and Freddie and Roger are THE BEST! I feel they are underrated as musicians (ok, everyone acknowledges Freddie as a GOAT singer). But the band is AMAZING!
The VERY first record i ever bought with my very first wage.😊. Straight after that, with my second wage the following week, i took a gamble and bought their album ' 'Queen II'. I never looked back.
Excellent breakdown as always. Brian wrote this when his second wife Anita told him she wanted that she wanted it all. As told by him in the documentary These Are The Days: Queen documentary. I’d love for you to do the whole Barcelona album of Freddie Mercury and Moserratt Caballe. There are so many amazing songs on the album! I bet your magic ear for music could point out all kinds of interesting sounds. ❤ Thanks
Nothing more satisfying than the 'aggressive' voice of Freddie. Talking about agressive we should probably vote for the most aggressive voice, is it this I want it all? Gimme the prize? Or Princes of the universe?
I know you don’t have that many spots left, but before you head to the next album, I hope you listen to Was It All Worth it. Brilliant song (and they’ll be more where that came from as you finish this list). ;)
This song reminds me of what the band must have felt when they were young and trying to make it. Please don’t stop at 50! Go back and do deep cuts! ❤. There are so many great Queen songs you’ve missed.
1:46 That was his final live performance with Queen, but his final live performance where he actually sang was in 1988 for the Time musical, there's a recording of it on Chinwonder2's channel in case you'd be interested in that (although only the final song is in decent quality). It's a duet of It's In Everyone Of Us with Cliff Richard
Brian May is an accomplished astrophysicist having earned his Ph.D. and written many papers. He became a rock guitarist playing a guitar he made himself. Asteroid 52665 Brianmay was named after him on 18 June 2008 on the suggestion of Patrick Moore (probably influenced by the asteroid's provisional designation of 1998
Speaking about performing this song at Mercury Tribute Concert with Tony Iommi (from Black Sabbath). Tony Iommi performed many songs at that tribute with Queen. As I remember, he was the most "envolved" guest musician at that concert (maybe except David Bowie). That's because Brian May is a friend of Tony Iommi and a huge fan of his guitar (and vice versa). May considers Iommy as "the true father of heavy metal" and describes him as "a man of great power and presence, as befits a giant riffmeister". I could be wrong but it seems that Tony is the closest Brian's mate from guitar world. They used to hang out together for decades and they still do it. Amy reviewed only one Black Sabbath's song as I remember. Since Amy highly appreciate Brian probably his shiny persona could induce Amy to give a bit more attention to Tony Iommi and his band too?
I really wish Amy won't stop listening to Queen at 50 songs because of at least 25 songs (Queen deep cuts) she really has to hear. We want it all and we want it now! 🎸🎶🎹🎤🥁
Amy needs to listen to the complete works of Queen. Because - as long as she likes Queen, as appears to be the case, and as is the case for classical works - their albums are actually structured to be listened to in their entirety.
@@MRFThorne I totally agree with you. And she'll be amazed listening to Freddie's Barcelona album with Montserrat but also a part of Brian's solo work.
@@MRFThorneIt would be very interesting to see her react to the early Smile records as well. Tim Staffel’s voice has its own charm, especially when paired with Brian’s and Roger’s in harmony.
I personally think that on a lot of Queen songs Brian May reigns in his guitar a little to allow Freddie Mercury's vocals to be at the forefront. This is one song where Brian May doesn't hold back. A good example is the call-and-response between the vocals and the guitar throughout the song, something I don't believe I've heard on a Queen song before, and the explosive solos.
Brian said that was a quote from Anita but she really didn't run around the house and scream that because they met shortly before 86 Wembley and she was invited to that gig and when she heard the roaring crowd (she was/is a famous actress though) she stated that she wants it all and now ... 😮😅
There's a nice little nod to Brian May's The Prophet's Song from 1975's A Night At The Opera when Freddie reprises the "People can you hear me?" line from it here.
I prefer the original longer album cut over this single/video version - I didn't hear this version until I saw the video over a year later. I taped the first time I heard it on a local radio station when they debuted it (and still have it lol). I remember thinking that if this song was any indication of the whole album, it would get them back in good graces with the US audience. Unfortunately, we got more sugar than substance (Scandal/Was It All Worth It?/My Baby Does Me are the only others worth listening to more than once). I'm glad this wasn't Freddie's final full album.
This song could also be interpreted as a band who has a lead singer who is dying. A lead singer who is fighting for his life and is determined to defeat his illness through will. 'Move out of my way.' 'Give me what is mine' .. is his life. "So much to do in one life time" .. the clock is ticking. Its not a song about any particular group, social or otherwise, but an anthem of an individual who embraces his fight to win. Perhaps anyone who is hit with a serious illness and facing death.
Amy likes Rock now clearly. Lovely video full of energy like the song. And that`s what rock has fantastic energy . Time for some Thin Lizzy me thinks , perhaps Killer on the Loose , China Town or Jail Break
This always gives me such joyous energy, especially that guitar solo, but the whole thing, and I love Freddie's rockier voice - unfortunately, I cannot put any grit into my voice, even though I'd love to sing this :D
Another great anthemic song. Something that Queen became rather apt at doing by this point. Instantly recognisable as by the band and a strong contender for best song on the album. Although, it has some tough competition. There's so many to choose from.
This was called to be an absolute anthem rock stadium if Freddie would has had the chance that never had. The "WWRY" of the 80's. The song is pure power and fire. But musically is not specially rich, apart from the guitar gorgeus concert. I think specially in "The Miracle" and " Innuendo" some songs are related to others. This song would be in the "yes we could kill" category in "Was it all worth it". And as many other say, you should listen to this song, a master resume of Queen's career in their own words.
And yet again, someone confuses the albums on which the song is to be found. It is on the "A kind of Magic" album not "The Miracle". And she did indeed react to it.
@@JacobHolda Yeah, she is not interested in The Wall anymore. I do not think it is Pink Floyd's best album but she has been disrespectful to the many fans that think it is. Quite honestly, I don't know what she is playing at.
Seems like the channel has evolved into all the Beatles, all the Queen, with a few obscure artists mixed in. The channel belongs to her and Vlad, they can do what they want with it, but it makes no sense to me.
@@jem77469 I dont want to be overly critical because that's not the point. I think it took pretty common direction from obscure channel where she wanted to stay as connected as its possible with people following to being fairly unresponsive. There arent those uptade videos anymore. Like I posted a comment way before when said that she got probably a lot of choirs and all so tried to be understanding. I even was on page with some people that felt frustrated with amount of PF videos while being the fan of the band. Where is the parity if 50% is ocuppied by 3 bands while many of greats are ignored, there are numerous groups that were given 0 to 1 chances and channel is over 2 years old now. Also dear Queen fans, Queen were great but as we heading to end of 50 thing many of you keep insisting for 50, 100 more, isn't it unfair?
Awesome as always. I would love you to do a deconstruction of the "Coctau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas" someday. That band and Kate Bush once you listen to either completely opens up a whole new dimension of Rock. Dreamy, orchestral and dark.
Cool.. Watching your face when the solo started. I have watched your journey from the beginning when you didnt really understand the "guitar solo" in terns of how its used in a piece of music.. In your face I can see, you REALLY get it now 👍👍 Keep going. Its great to watch you find the majesty of rock ( a Spinal Tap song).. Amy, you must must must watch the movie This Is Spinal Tap.. Its a must for any rock fan and especially anyone who has been in a rock band. Dm is the saddest key.
Nice reaction, I'm still a bit disappointed that Princess Of The Universe was not included in Queen 50 Series. Apart from 'Death On Two Legs', Vlad avoided including heavy songs from Freddie unfortunately... The best (and with fantastic, heavy riff) song from this album is "Was It All Worth It" but I don't believe it will be included...
The song I want it all was inspired by Brian Mays wife Anita Dobson, brian said that she shouted I want it all and I want it now Brian thought I like the sound of that
For me, the minor tonality in the chant gives it a bit of an aura of menace-- like "you don't want to know what will happen if I am denied". That sort of thing.
At the end of the middle eight, Brian and Freddie sing, "and I'm giving it all", which is an interesting contrast to all of the demanding, threatening, and taking going on throughout most of the song. I wonder, does it mean giving as in sharing with others, or does it mean giving as in giving all of one's effort to an endeavor-- not holding anything back.
My favourite Queen's song, gives me energy everytime. But have listened to the reduced version unfortunately, here is the "album" version th-cam.com/video/9NH87JoJ8Pk/w-d-xo.html
Anita Dobson is Brian’s wife. Brian was having an affair with her and left his first wife for her. The rather famous quote ‘ I want it all’ is attributed to Anita when she wanted Brian to leave his wife for her … which he finally did and the rest is history.
@@brianjohnson5789 when you'll produce solid proof (for example: Brian saying that at the recorded interview) of what you're saying, then I'll listen. But not yours "I know" statements. Because you have no idea ... really. Btw: Who are you?
This version of this song is the cutted one. In the real version it start with a wonderful guitar intro and in the middle too there is a longer guitar part.. Cutted because of industrial iussue this song has been inspired by the wife of Brian that, during a party, says to Brian 'i want it all' in an alchoolic conversation about i don't know what. About their rock way of doing music, it's one of their best song. Very well organized duet between the raspy Freddie's voice and the hard guitar mode. I love this song. About this album, a very nice song in my opinion is 'Rain must fall' by Jhon Deacon, witch is a real 'must hear'..
This was the only really angry song I've heard from Queen. We Will Rock You is just as aggressive but it isn't angry. This piece was simply angry and I wonder how much of the anger of the song stemmed from Freddy's situation.
Nothing stemmed from Freddie's situation because he didn't write the song and it has a very clear topic that also is completely removed from his situation. It's a song by someone who has outgrown that phase of his life and is now able to write about it from a distance.
Gimme The Prize is also quite aggressive. I Want It All, is purely a Brian May song. Freddie only really wrote very inspirational songs once he found out he had Aids. In songs such as Don't Try So Hard he is trying to give people some guidance. In songs such as The Miracle and A Winter's tale he describes the beauty of the world. But to be fair Freddie's music always tended to be more joyful and playful then most.
as an amateur guitarist (technically mediocre)...on my mental shelf I have grouped 3 Brian May songs that begin in Bm..."Sail Sweet..."-"The Show..." and "I want it all" ....also it seems to me that the fast part I find the rhythm very similar to "Sweet Lady"
As a guitarist I'm biased, but it's remarkable that this song has four separate solos but they never get tiresome. No "come on, Brian, AGAIN?" moment. 😄
I Want It All (The eYe Version 2) 4:53 Written by Queen Appears on: Queen: The eYe From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. Another full instrumental version, again starting just a second late into the track. The first 10 or so seconds is looped a second time with a synthesizer effect added to blend them together. Thank you.
It has nothing to do with apartheid or any other political movement. Brian heard an actress exclaim "I want it all" in a conversation and he admired her for it and it inspired this song. He had an affair with this actress and ended up divorcing his wife and marrying her later. This drama then inspired the song Too much love will kill you.
Thanks for that could you please listen to My Chemical Romance: Welcome to the Black Parade Brian May even played with them and followed up by playing Bohemian Rhapsody with them
This is a smack in the face song, Brian couid write these bangers and Freddie could sing them, he may have complained what it would do to his voice but he did it anyway.
An anti-apartheid-song in South Africa. And Queen were not welcome on the party from Band Aid's Do they know it's Christmas. And yeah, it was because they gave there concerts before, but they wanted to see it with their own eyes and also black people visited their concerts there.
Honestly, this is one of my least favourite Queen songs (and I am a huge fan). I think it's a pity so many of your 50 songs covered the second half of their career. The first half was much better IMO.
Dear Amy, you understand Brian's music so well, your interpretation is so accurate... You absolutely have to meet Brian. Brian May absolutely has to meet you… Thanks again Amy
Please don’t stop at 50! Go back and do deep cuts! ❤. There are so many great Queen songs you’ve missed.
Yes! So many good songs to listen to!
She will! Maybe not immediately, but I doubt this will be the only time she will review. Don’t fret.
Hopefully she gets some of the solo work. I'd love her to see the difference between Too Much Love will Kill you from Bri and Fromm Queen. I prefer Bri's version, because it was HIS feelings.The Queen version is amazing, and is associated with Freddie's passing, but is not about that.

Generally, my favourite Queen songs are written by Brian May. His talent extends far beyond his guitar gymnastics. It is fire!

Speaking about performing this song at Mercury Tribute Concert with Tony Iommi (from Black Sabbath).
Tony Iommi performed many songs at that tribute with Queen. As I remember, he was the most "envolved" guest musician at that concert (maybe except David Bowie).
That's because Brian May is a friend of Tony Iommi and a huge fan of his guitar (and vice versa). May considers Iommy as "the true father of heavy metal" and describes him as "a man of great power and presence, as befits a giant riffmeister".
I could be wrong but it seems that Tony is the closest Brian's mate from guitar world. They used to hang out together for decades and they still do it.

In your face I can see, you REALLY get it now 👍👍 Keep going. Its great to watch you find the majesty of rock ( a Spinal Tap song).. Amy, you must must must watch the movie This Is Spinal Tap.. Its a must for any rock fan and especially anyone who has been in a rock band. Dm is the saddest key.
I knew it wouldn't be the album version. Oh well
You had listening to the short single version not the long one
Nice reaction, I'm still a bit disappointed that Princess Of The Universe was not included in Queen 50 Series. Apart from 'Death On Two Legs', Vlad avoided including heavy songs from Freddie unfortunately... The best (and with fantastic, heavy riff) song from this album is "Was It All Worth It" but I don't believe it will be included...
The song I want it all was inspired by Brian Mays wife Anita Dobson, brian said that she shouted I want it all and I want it now Brian thought I like the sound of that
You’ve missed so many good earlier queen songs I hope you do a deep cuts mini series
For me, the minor tonality in the chant gives it a bit of an aura of menace-- like "you don't want to know what will happen if I am denied". That sort of thing.
Reminds me of we are the champions. On piano
The picec of tune you're looking for, could it be the intro to "The Reflex", by Duran Duran?
I think at the time, Queen were suring their management company as they felt they were being denied their correct percentages - hence the song
Re the heard it before... There are hints of war film theme music on this album... Which Brian says john added when nobody else was around
@@brianjohnson5789wtf? Again FALSE info from you ... 😮
STOP.
@@iris67si I have heard this stuff first hand... I am 100% truthful and correct
@@brianjohnson5789really? Where and who told you that? Like that untrue comments about Anita ...
You should listen to the album version. Different intro and extended guitar solo.
It is a pity you listen to the short version. The album version has a couple of fantastic riffs by May, making the song much more robust.
In many ways this song is a successor to We Will Rock you. Same feel (not sound, but feel).
At the end of the middle eight, Brian and Freddie sing, "and I'm giving it all", which is an interesting contrast to all of the demanding, threatening, and taking going on throughout most of the song. I wonder, does it mean giving as in sharing with others, or does it mean giving as in giving all of one's effort to an endeavor-- not holding anything back.
You should listen to I was born to love you (queen version)
My favourite Queen's song, gives me energy everytime.
But have listened to the reduced version unfortunately,
here is the "album" version th-cam.com/video/9NH87JoJ8Pk/w-d-xo.html
I hope you'll continue with "Scandal" & "Was It All Worth It?" next from The Miracle.👍
This was the shorter single edit of the song, which was a bit disappointing.
Yeah...not the album version which is strange.
I have enjoyed watching you doing reactions to Queen songs from every album why can't you do Made in heaven album from Queen after Innuendo Album
I could totally see Paul Roger's writing and singing this song.
May was inspired by his 2nd wife, who wanted all and wanted now ))
42 is the answer...
Anita Dobson is Brian’s wife. Brian was having an affair with her and left his first wife for her. The rather famous quote ‘ I want it all’ is attributed to Anita when she wanted Brian to leave his wife for her … which he finally did and the rest is history.
Yes, and a bit more than that
@@brianjohnson5789STOP lying.
Your accusations are hilarious, I am not lying, if you are genuinely interested you should shut up and listen occasionally, you have no idea
@@brianjohnson5789 when you'll produce solid proof (for example: Brian saying that at the recorded interview) of what you're saying, then I'll listen.
But not yours "I know" statements. Because you have no idea ... really.
Btw: Who are you?
This version of this song is the cutted one. In the real version it start with a wonderful guitar intro and in the middle too there is a longer guitar part.. Cutted because of industrial iussue this song has been inspired by the wife of Brian that, during a party, says to Brian 'i want it all' in an alchoolic conversation about i don't know what. About their rock way of doing music, it's one of their best song. Very well organized duet between the raspy Freddie's voice and the hard guitar mode. I love this song. About this album, a very nice song in my opinion is 'Rain must fall' by Jhon Deacon, witch is a real 'must hear'..
There was no alcoholic conversation between Brian and Anita (who later became his second wife). Learn facts before posting sh*t ...
I guess you will have picked up that the bridge is a mix of vocals, Freddie and Brian
This song can pick you right up out of the worst sort of mood.
This was the only really angry song I've heard from Queen. We Will Rock You is just as aggressive but it isn't angry. This piece was simply angry and I wonder how much of the anger of the song stemmed from Freddy's situation.
Have you listened to "Death on two legs"?
Listen to Scandal!!!
Nothing stemmed from Freddie's situation because he didn't write the song and it has a very clear topic that also is completely removed from his situation.
It's a song by someone who has outgrown that phase of his life and is now able to write about it from a distance.
It's not anger, it's a woman's determination to get her man...
Gimme The Prize is also quite aggressive. I Want It All, is purely a Brian May song. Freddie only really wrote very inspirational songs once he found out he had Aids. In songs such as Don't Try So Hard he is trying to give people some guidance. In songs such as The Miracle and A Winter's tale he describes the beauty of the world. But to be fair Freddie's music always tended to be more joyful and playful then most.
as an amateur guitarist (technically mediocre)...on my mental shelf I have grouped 3 Brian May songs that begin in Bm..."Sail Sweet..."-"The Show..." and "I want it all" ....also it seems to me that the fast part I find the rhythm very similar to "Sweet Lady"
As a guitarist I'm biased, but it's remarkable that this song has four separate solos but they never get tiresome. No "come on, Brian, AGAIN?" moment. 😄
(The editor who cut the album track down to single length might disagree. 😏)
I Want It All (The eYe Version 2) 4:53
Written by Queen
Appears on: Queen: The eYe
From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. Another full instrumental version, again starting just a second late into the track. The first 10 or so seconds is looped a second time with a synthesizer effect added to blend them together.
Thank you.
At some point in your 50 Queen songs you have to React to Dragon Attack!!🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It has nothing to do with apartheid or any other political movement. Brian heard an actress exclaim "I want it all" in a conversation and he admired her for it and it inspired this song. He had an affair with this actress and ended up divorcing his wife and marrying her later. This drama then inspired the song Too much love will kill you.
50 ain't enough.
Again, the edited single version that butcher the solo...
Thanks for that could you please listen to My Chemical Romance: Welcome to the Black Parade Brian May even played with them and followed up by playing Bohemian Rhapsody with them
It's a pity that shortened, single version was used for the reaction... The same as with "One Vision"...
Yeah. As a so-called fan, Vlad does not even load up the album versions for her to react to. I just don't understand!
This is a smack in the face song, Brian couid write these bangers and Freddie could sing them, he may have complained what it would do to his voice but he did it anyway.
An anti-apartheid-song in South Africa. And Queen were not welcome on the party from Band Aid's Do they know it's Christmas. And yeah, it was because they gave there concerts before, but they wanted to see it with their own eyes and also black people visited their concerts there.
It’s been bugging me for a while how you are gonna fit them all in 50. Actually Barcelona shouldnt count. Its not queen. Just Freddie😅
Amy , you might be thinking of a similarity to Keep Yourself Alive . The latter is a much better song
On this song Freddie sounds like The Who.
Roger Daltrey even performed it with Queen for the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.
Freddie sounds way better.
@@mortimore4030
Freddie always sounds better, because he's just the best male singer!
th-cam.com/video/wxGqtV5oJ9s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5ZyqNBLFmclOcPZr
and 51....this song produced by Freddie that sounds more like Queen than Queen themselves
I'm afraid you'd better have listened to the original album version...
Honestly, this is one of my least favourite Queen songs (and I am a huge fan). I think it's a pity so many of your 50 songs covered the second half of their career. The first half was much better IMO.
