Exactly real Queen fans accept everyone! Not just the people saying they were fans before the movie. It doesn’t matter how long it took them to find the greatest band of all time, it’s just awesome to know they found their way.
@@ot.productions7835 Oh, are you an expert on behavioral analysis? You can just decide when someone fakes a reaction? How about you prove it rather than just say it?
I will never get bored of seeing people react to this masterpiece by 1 of the greatest bands in music history. This was a brilliant reaction and huge welcome to the Queen fan family we are happy to have you
This is what reactions are all about. Watching someone experience something for the first time that means so much to you...it really brings people that would otherwise probably not know they had much in common together and bridge the gap between generations and cultures. Wow. Beautiful.
"Where have I been?" Best reaction ever. I remember the first time I heard the song when it was first released in, I think, 1975. My mom and I were riding in her Olds 442 on the way to Hegwish Records. We were listening to WLS on AM radio. I had just turned 9 years old and wanted to use some of my birthday money to get some albums. I wanted to get the new Parliament album and "Venus and Mars" by Paul McCartney. The first time we heard Bohemian Rhapsody was during that drive. It started playing about a minute before we pulled into the record store parking lot. We were both intrigued by the song. She parked the car and we sat there, mouths agape much like the young man above, and listened to rest of the song. We had never heard anything like this before. We were both fans of Queen but this was next level music from them that we were unprepared for. When the song ended, we just sat in the car, silently absorbing what we had just experienced. The DJ came on and said it was the latest from Queen and due to the phone lines lighting up, he was going to play it again, immediately. We sat and listened to the entire song for a second time and then dashed into the store to pick up the album. We actually had an argument on who would get to listen to it first. Even though mom was buying a copy, I insisted on my own copy of "A Night at the Opera" because I wanted to listen to it on new headphones I had just gotten for my birthday. When we got home she went to the hi-fi and I went to my room. With headphones on, I was induced even further into the "Bohemian Rhapsody" trance. The next hour or so was her either bursting into my room or me bursting into the living room with both of us asking if the other had listened to certain tracks on the album and how amazed we were at how good it was. Since then, anytime "Bohemian Rhapsody" played on the car radio, we would sing along at the top of our lungs (as did everyone else in America; which made that scene in "Wayne's World" all the more funny and special) I still have my original copy, as does mom.
I first saw it on top of the pops (UK) when it first came out and was astonished. Night at the Opera, Day at the races and Sheer heart attack are my fav albums by Queen. (Bo Rap was originally called the cowboy song, long before it was ever released.}
I'm 58 yrs old and was literally raised on this type of music and more specifically this song. Watching Bman experiencing it for the first time was a gift. I loved the look on his face of how much he was in awe of the pure talent and genius of this song. Watching him and watching WITH him actually gave me goosebumps!
"This... is... music!" Never has a truer word been spoken! Music was meant to be shared and it thrills me to no end that so many young people are suddenly discovering the tunes from my era!!
I love these reaction videos, mainly because so many young people are being introduced to one of the world's greatest showmen and a band that produced great music with skill and professionalism. Keep these videos going so Queen will never die.
EVERY TIME I hear it, I get major chills up and down my spine! And I GREW UP with Queen and Freddie! Also, Michael Jackson, another major chills giver!!
This is what REAL talent sounds like. Just imagine Freddy Mercury sitting at a piano with a blank sheet of paper and composing this beautiful song. A real genius at work. Too bad we lost him.
Freddie and Queen are music. Their creations together are pure genius. I honestly believe that Freddie was incredible, his pained life created such beauty. This man stands in heaven shoulder to shoulder with Mozart and Beethoven. This song is timeless and will live on forever.
There’s an unspoken bond when someone truly appreciates a musical work as deeply as others do. Many people “like” certain songs superficially, but when a fellow music lover with an artful ear obviously appreciates every subtle nuance as much as the whole piece, the reaction is just as overwhelming to all of us. Your reaction, Bman, is humbling, moving, poignant, and infectious. What an uplifting video to watch anytime I’m feeling down. Thanks.
I can remember my brother coming home from the Record Exchange and turning his stereo all the way up to play his new record while I was trying to watch TV. I was so angry that I was going to try to forcibly turn it down, but as I was walking towards the stereo, I started realizing that the song playing was the most beautiful thing I ever heard. I Sat down and experienced the rest of the song, when it was over, I sat there in a daze. Somehow my father had come in the room unnoticed, he also intended on turning it down, but when I came to my senses he was sitting right next to me looking just as perplexed as I was by what we had just heard.. That song was BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!l
There are several "reaction to bohemian rhapsody" vids. In all I saw, the people are amazed how good it sounds. That only confirmes how great a piece of music this is.
His was the reaction of a man who’s just had his reality expanded forever. The bar is now raised to an unattainable height and he will never hear music the same again. Wow!
Where have I been?!!....EXACTLY!!! Welcome to Music young man! Freddie Mercury, the guy who never had to mike drop because he OWNED the mike, the stand and the audience! QUEEN FOREVER. RIP Freddie ❤
Just before the operatic section, as Brian was finishing his solo, he the expression on his face was one of amazement, as he said "yo". I think he thought it was over. I was thinking "wait dude, that's just act 1. Now it gets really good".... Lol
The very best thing about these reactions to _Bohemian Rhapsody_ is seeing people freak out at that sudden LEFT TURN into the operatic section. I never get tired of it! :D
I can't remember my reaction although I remember seeing it well. It was on every week as they used to play the number one song on the charts at the end of every show. It was late November of 1975 on Top Of The Pops and I was only 10.
Your reaction is as rare and wonderful as the music. Let me explain how great your video is, how far back second place is, and why it is such a surprise: 1. You didn’t stop the video. Other reactors stop for parts and miss the whole, moving, breathing creation that Queen gave us. Thank you! 2. Yours was the fourth or fifth Bohemian Rhapsody reaction video I saw. I bet it was the same for most of your other viewers. If your initials are E.B., you are a dapper college student in Lagos, Nigeria. So the TH-cam computer thought we might be too foreign (and many of us too old) to like, comment or subscribe. Your competitors are in Europe and the US, where the social media connections are thick and strong. The old, white foreigners hope that the music of our youth can still stir young souls. And we see encouraging signs for a few videos. But then we see - 3. YOUR FACE! All that emotion from Mercury’s voice and May’s guitar was written all over your face, your posture, your breathing! I’ve never seen anyone as moved by it as you were. You were barely holding on because you were processing volumes more than anyone else. You were hearing a whole new genre played at the highest level. It other reaction videos the TH-camr is a surprised and pleasantly confused listener. You were a fully immersed participant, riding the monster wave exactly as Freddie Mercury wanted. And speaking of Mr. Mercury, did you know that - 4. Freddie Mercury is from Africa. He was born Farokh Bulsara in Zanzibar, just off the coast of Tanzania. Yes, that is the other side of a huge continent from you, but that just makes our story more far-flung and unlikely. And of course rock music is a great grandchild of your shores. Nobody knows why the English are so good at it. 5. So we happily drape the gold medal around your neck because no other human has run such a complete marathon in five minutes fifty-five seconds. The second place reactor is still miles from the stadium. I don't think he is going to finish. If I were a little closer than California I would buy you a beer and ask about your studies, how you listen to music in languages you don't speak (Arabic, Mandarin, Thai, Portuguese) and how everything is communication. I'd ask about the structure of your videos, about race and the imaginary thief. And when the pints were gone I'd shake your hand and say that I saw Queen in 1978, but I'm not going to tell you about it because you know Queen better than I do in the only way that matters. On behalf of thousands, it was a pleasure to meet you. All the best - Peter
Most reactors stop their videos because leaving a song to play all the way through puts the video at risk of suspension. If you break the song up, the algorithm isn't as likely to pick it up as a copyright violation.
Thank you for putting it so well. I saw them in 1981 . I agree , this young man got it better than we did, though I always tear up when I hear this song. R,I,P, Freddie , and a shout out to Remi for portraying him so well.
Peter Barnes what a fine why to express the way I felt watching this young man. I too was of the Queen era, in high school Queen was every where and we loved it.
I don’t know what this is but you spent way too much time on this comment. First of all, this guy is a liar an pretends to listen to it for the first time, along with all the other reaction videos you saw. Second of all, his reaction isn’t so special, it isn’t a piece of art as if he were Picasso. This video was boring to me, too
I love seeing people discover Queen for the first time - they love Freddie's voice - then they discover that Roger and Brian also could have been lead singers in any other group - magical to see someone find them and enjoy them so much!
A Masterpiece!!, this song will never be duplicated, the music arrangements are unbelievable. I was in high school when this song embraced us and today in 2019 it continues to be a classic.
I was also in high school when this song was released, I loved it then& still loving it & all of Queen's music today! R.I.P. Freddie Mercury, Gpd Bless You & thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
The only group I’ve seen do a great version was Panic at the Disco when they did it live you can view the video on TH-cam. He is one of the only singers who can get close to matching Freddie’s vocals
A true reaction dude was froze aren't you suppose to pause the video like 50 times lol....his ears wouldn't let him!!!! You could see the emotions as the song went on how he rode the Queen train of holy moly!!!! Loved it
I'm 52 years old and just heard Queen only because of my kids. I was always into hip hop so when this came on I changed channels but my kids opened up my eyes and I love Queen
Late to the party but I had to pass on a heart-felt thanks to you for uploading this video: The look on your face and reaction made me so happy - as a 50-something Brit I'm so familiar with Queen it's hard to appreciate how utterly amazing this song is. Thank you again for bringing that sense of amazed wonder back to me. I sincerely hope you continue to dig out these gems for yourself, there's plenty more!
My friend This is still my #1 reaction for 2019 Genuine, sincere, respectful, I think everyone felt like they lost their Queen with you (again). Thanks man!
Watching him process what he is experiencing for the first time is simply the best! There is a reason that this song went to #1 on the charts twice! It’s simply the greatest song ever and will take you on a journey every time!
Same here, I'm 58 yrs. old and it still makes me cry, don't know why but it does. Since the first time I heard this song (back in the mid 1970's) on the radio I became addicted to the song and to Queen.
@@fierrote Me too. Except I'm 68!! And only "discovered" Queen a few yrs ago. This man's reaction was mine as well when I first laid eyes on Freddie Mercury. I saw him do his magic in Queen's Montreal Concert. I could not believe what I was experiencing. It was an epiphany like no other! FREDDIE BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!! I was mesmerized. I was hooked. I AM hooked, obsessed, devoted! I will love, adore, & revere Queen till my dying breath! 😲🕺😎
@@FREDDIEistheBEST1 , it's because the band was like no other. Very talented musicians to bad the bass player never got over Freddy Mercury death and he became reclusive to the point of ignoring the other members of the band. Queen is touring again, with another vocalist.
I wish I had experienced the joy of music right. I am here stuck to a screen without being able to enjoy a single concert from them because I was born later in a different country.
Bman the fact that you were speechless over what you just heard and saw is the biggest compliment to Freddie Mercury and queen. Their music was on an entirely different level then everything else and it still is. I just found your Channel today and this is the first video I watched of your reaction and I'm already subscribing. Don't stop what you're doing and keep loving music Don't Stop
BMan, your expressions are so precious. Love and continued hearing more Queen. Reading the lyrics is very revealing. Originally the radios in UK said this song was too long, Freddie went to the stations and charmed the DJ’s into playing BH. The BH video was made solely by the band with some lights and a small stage. Being well into my 60’s I get try joy from watching the younger generations watch and listen. Practically every song they wrote is a hit. What a beautiful journey you stepped into. Good luck and God bless.
Definitely a must watch . Wish I had the chance to see them perform while Freddie was still alive. I’m from philly burbs and wish I had been at live aid watching that on the big screen and singing with everyone They’re actually on tour in my town tonight with Adam Lambert and I love him too,but sadly tix were way too much. Obviously not the same but I’m sure still a great show. .im 43 but it’s actually my daughter who has been the bigger Queen/Freddie fanatic and admit she got me listening again. What great music but live aid just gives me goosebumps,both in the movie and the actual concert footage . Definitely love seeing younger people appreciate truly good music
Hi. I’m 51 years old and seeing your reaction is like seeing it for the first time. Priceless. You have a beautiful mind and soul. Have fun discovering more of our wonderful world 👍👍👍
@@jonhohensee3258 www.cnbc.com/2019/01/04/queen-guitarist-brian-may-is-also-an-astrophysicist.html Yes, though wikipedia isn't the end all be all of knowledge it is a grand starting point. His page is rather good. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_May
best way to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody is lying on the floor with headphones on and your eyes closed, preferably played on vinyl. then when the song ends just continue laying there for 5 mins thinking about what you just heard, and repeat.
@@cbass6774 You are either using a very dirty or worn out record, a very worn out stylus, or the turntable is really bad or not properly positioned. Or all combined. A clean record on a decent turntable is not torture, unless the music itself is torture.
....but if it were vinyl "god save the queen" would start playing so you couldn't just lay there to think. That's assuming one can't get a hold of the single which at this point would likely be very difficult.
Your reaction says it all!!! Check out their short 20 minute performance at Live Aid 1985. Still regarded as one of Queen’s best live performances of all times
Still gives me tingles, every time since it first came out. The greatest song ever written! Still remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. I was 14 and told my mum and dad that it was always going to be the best song ever.
Your reaction is how a person who appreciates music should react my friend! A masterpiece, is it not? It is a beautiful piece of music. You react from your heart. That's really cool. CARRY ON, CARRY ON....
@BMAN That IS music !!! That is why oldies like me (I have been a great fan of Queen since 1974) say that today's music cannot in any way compare with what was being made in the 1970's and 80's. But you are lucky - you have now discovered Queen ! Have fun listening to more !❤
THIS is music. I'm so glad I found this reaction and witnessing you getting introduced to one of the most profound and beautiful rock songs ever composed. Welcome to a brand new world of music my friend.
This is probably the best reaction video that I've seen so far. It's perhaps because my reaction to hearing and viewing this video was similar, especially after doing my research about Freddie Mercury and Queen. I find myself wishing that i had existed back when Queen was at it's prime. I am the biggest Freddie Mercury fan, like it's unreal how much i admire him for everything that he was. I am blown away by his talent. Geez i get goosebumps any time i express this. I get extremely sad when i think about how this man died, and wish his life wasn't cut so short. There is great music being made today but nothing is able to move me as much as this. It's just incredible. I also am a big Michael Jackson fan as well. Anyways, i really enjoyed your video. Hope you get a ton more views :)
Thank you for NOT interrupting the song ( like so many other reaction videos ) ......the look on your face was truly awesome as you watched this with the emotion and comprehending the song as it moved through different phase
@@matiaspereyra9375 They said that the record company was pushing them to come out with a new album quickly so they didn't have the luxury to take their time to do it their way. Record contracts favors the record company not the Artist(s).
The greatest song ever, no question nothing even matches it. Thank you Queen and thank you to the amazing United Kingdom for giving the world the greatest band ever. The song stuns me everytime, everytime. Speechless, most people are......your not alone in that, thanks for sharing....
My first question was he's got a British(?) accent yet he's never heard of Queen? I think this is only about the third or fourth time he's even watched a t.v.
Just listen to the Best of Queen album - I think that's pretty much the playlist and it's one where, if you hear one, you're geared up for the next one. According to Terry Pratchet, any tape when left in the car for more than two weeks, turns into "The Best of Queen" and the only explanation as to why every car in the '80s had a copy.
Best song ever. Can't hear it often enough. I am glad you got to hear it. I know you will be watching this over and over. The group Queen was unique and wonderful. Best music.
@im batman Dude! I watched all of their concert (not posibly all) here in youtube. I also read articles about them and, YES!! I'M ONE OF THEIR FAN ALREADY😊
Bman, your reaction to seeing this Queen video for the first time literally brought a tear to my eye. It's great to see how much you appreciate Queen's amazing music. Better late than never my friend! ♥♥♥
That was amazing. Just to watch the emotions run over you. To watch you get punched in the gut by such a classic rock n roll song for the very first time was absolutely moving and beautiful. Made me day. Thanks for putting this video up. I love it and I love you too! Cheers!
Why would anyone give a thumbs down. I've heard Queens stuff my whole life, I was born in 1975. And now I am discovering what I didnt hear on the radio. It is like hearing something new with a feeling of missing out on it for years. Watch Brian May break down the song in the studio. You will realize even more what genius it was.
best reaction video I've seen so far! 😘😘😘 I love how you just listened and absorbed the music... so genuine. 😊 Queen Lover here! Thanks for appreciating! ❤❤❤
Great reaction. You didn’t stop the video like so many others and you just listened to this classic, extraordinary song ...thanks for appreciating the music the way you did. It’s a one of a kind song isn’t it. Nothing else like it before or since. RIP Freddie Mercury and thank you for the music.
Welcome to the more than 2 Billions Queen and Freddie fans. There is a world of fantastic songs and incredible performances. I was in a Queen concert in Brazil in 1981 and can assure you, they are the BEST!
Freddie Mercury would have enjoyed watching your reaction! Now you need to see the movie Bohemian Rhapsody once, twice, one hundred times. . . you'll love it!
I loved the movie when I first saw it, but now I'm not so enamoured of it. The portrayal of Freddie as a self-indulgent guy who showed up late for work and slagged off is completely wrong - he was widely known for his perfectionism and professionalism. I don't care much about the timeline issues, as that always has to be messed with to fit the constraints of film, but I don't know if I can forgive the way the film disrespects him that way.
That's awesome. My first response was exactly the same back in 1978 when I first heard it. My mind was blown. Where have I been? Who is this? This is music! This. Is. Fucking. Music. Queen fan for life from that point on. I will never stop missing Freddie Mercury and the guys.
I'm so happy for the young people who are discovering Queen for the first time! Such a gift! I wish you so much more joy and amazement! Greatest band of our lives! 🎶😍
Your joy at discovering this masterpiece fixed my whole weekend, dude. I'm so happy! So happy and so excited you got to have such a Transcendental Experience with the song! Thank you, seriously! Greetings from Chile 💖
Back in the 70's, just about every song on the Radio was like that for me! It was my Favorite time for Music and 1974 was Absolutely my Favorite year, Hands Down! Thank you for your Reaction, it was Awesome to watch!
Dude.. you took me back to my first time .. me being a 12 year old with a Sony cassette walk man, cruisen the streets on my pushie. I found this tape on the side on the road .. I didnt know that my life was about to change forever..
You are only scratching the surface with that song! We will Rock you is another one of many! Love the reaction of being awakened! Great that you can appreciate how the "good" music will never die, See them live! It's even better!
The surprise and astonishment on your face are precious! And Bohemian Rhapsody, was a fabulous piece of music. Queen and Freddie were the best. There are many other Freddie/Queen performances for you to enjoy. The life shows are the best, the way Freddie and the audience interact with each other.
"Where have I been!?"
It doesn't matter. You're here now, with us!
LONG LIVE QUEEN
Queen will never die
$5 says Charles dies first or is passed over- his butt will never touch the velvet.
Exactly real Queen fans accept everyone! Not just the people saying they were fans before the movie. It doesn’t matter how long it took them to find the greatest band of all time, it’s just awesome to know they found their way.
Funny you should say that...I have a button I bought around 1980, that says "Long live the Queen" for Queen fans.
@@MaxHeadroom4014 What odds are you giving? I'm tempted to take you up on that although I kinda agree.

Freddie, sir

There are several "reaction to bohemian rhapsody" vids. In all I saw, the people are amazed how good it sounds. That only confirmes how great a piece of music this is.
He must have been on a planet in a galaxy far, far away.
I just read your comment at the same time he said it, that was kinda creepy
That was my reaction when I first heard it I was about 14 or 15 I was blown away one of the best songs ever composed
You stolen my shoes
His was the reaction of a man who’s just had his reality expanded forever. The bar is now raised to an unattainable height and he will never hear music the same again. Wow!
"this.... is.... music...." Couldn't have been worded better.
Watch the LIVE AID concert with QUEEN DOING THIS LIVE blow your mind
Where have I been?!!....EXACTLY!!! Welcome to Music young man! Freddie Mercury, the guy who never had to mike drop because he OWNED the mike, the stand and the audience! QUEEN FOREVER. RIP Freddie ❤
Best comment
Or he never dropped a mic, because he didn't really need one (such a strong voice) ;) !
Hail freddie
you said it all, Sarah K!!!!
Finest comment ever👏👏
I think seeing your expression in the operatic section was beautiful with wonder. Welcome to the world of QUEEN
Just before the operatic section, as Brian was finishing his solo, he the expression on his face was one of amazement, as he said "yo". I think he thought it was over. I was thinking "wait dude, that's just act 1. Now it gets really good".... Lol
Freddie and the boys would be so happy with this reaction. He actually listened and loved. Welcome to the wonderful world of Queen!!
Best reaction I have ever seen.
:)))))))))
The very best thing about these reactions to _Bohemian Rhapsody_ is seeing people freak out at that sudden LEFT TURN into the operatic section. I never get tired of it! :D
As a child of the 70's, I would like to say welcome! You are here now.
I didn’t think people existed that didn’t know this song. Was very entertaining to watch!
Your reaction is most people's reaction hearing it for the first time.
OMG What did I just listen to?????
It's transcendent.
Or second reaction, as for a lot of people, like myself, we were too busy laughing at it the first time we heard it at the start of wayne's world :P
I can't remember my reaction although I remember seeing it well. It was on every week as they used to play the number one song on the charts at the end of every show. It was late November of 1975 on Top Of The Pops and I was only 10.
it happened to me 30 years ago.
Your reaction is as rare and wonderful as the music. Let me explain how great your video is, how far back second place is, and why it is such a surprise:
1. You didn’t stop the video. Other reactors stop for parts and miss the whole, moving, breathing creation that Queen gave us. Thank you!
2. Yours was the fourth or fifth Bohemian Rhapsody reaction video I saw. I bet it was the same for most of your other viewers. If your initials are E.B., you are a dapper college student in Lagos, Nigeria. So the TH-cam computer thought we might be too foreign (and many of us too old) to like, comment or subscribe. Your competitors are in Europe and the US, where the social media connections are thick and strong. The old, white foreigners hope that the music of our youth can still stir young souls. And we see encouraging signs for a few videos. But then we see -
3. YOUR FACE! All that emotion from Mercury’s voice and May’s guitar was written all over your face, your posture, your breathing! I’ve never seen anyone as moved by it as you were. You were barely holding on because you were processing volumes more than anyone else. You were hearing a whole new genre played at the highest level. It other reaction videos the TH-camr is a surprised and pleasantly confused listener. You were a fully immersed participant, riding the monster wave exactly as Freddie Mercury wanted. And speaking of Mr. Mercury, did you know that -
4. Freddie Mercury is from Africa. He was born Farokh Bulsara in Zanzibar, just off the coast of Tanzania. Yes, that is the other side of a huge continent from you, but that just makes our story more far-flung and unlikely. And of course rock music is a great grandchild of your shores. Nobody knows why the English are so good at it.
5. So we happily drape the gold medal around your neck because no other human has run such a complete marathon in five minutes fifty-five seconds. The second place reactor is still miles from the stadium. I don't think he is going to finish.
If I were a little closer than California I would buy you a beer and ask about your studies, how you listen to music in languages you don't speak (Arabic, Mandarin, Thai, Portuguese) and how everything is communication. I'd ask about the structure of your videos, about race and the imaginary thief. And when the pints were gone I'd shake your hand and say that I saw Queen in 1978, but I'm not going to tell you about it because you know Queen better than I do in the only way that matters.
On behalf of thousands, it was a pleasure to meet you. All the best -
Peter
Most reactors stop their videos because leaving a song to play all the way through puts the video at risk of suspension. If you break the song up, the algorithm isn't as likely to pick it up as a copyright violation.
@@Serai3 I had no idea. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for putting it so well. I saw them in 1981 . I agree , this young man got it better than we did, though I always tear up when I hear this song. R,I,P, Freddie , and a shout out to Remi for portraying him so well.
Peter Barnes what a fine why to express the way I felt watching this young man. I too was of the Queen era, in high school Queen was every where and we loved it.
I don’t know what this is but you spent way too much time on this comment. First of all, this guy is a liar an pretends to listen to it for the first time, along with all the other reaction videos you saw. Second of all, his reaction isn’t so special, it isn’t a piece of art as if he were Picasso. This video was boring to me, too
Probably the best rock song ever written.
this song is the best SONG ever written.
Not probably, but IS the best I'm my opinion
Not so much rock and roll. It's symphonic, operatic, excellent musicianship, carefully and most beautifully crafted, and performed as art.
Nancy Montgomery correct
Probably? I think not ... I think the best song ever written .... EVER!!!
I love seeing people discover Queen for the first time - they love Freddie's voice - then they discover that Roger and Brian also could have been lead singers in any other group - magical to see someone find them and enjoy them so much!
A Masterpiece!!, this song will never be duplicated, the music arrangements are unbelievable. I was in high school when this song embraced us and today in 2019 it continues to be a classic.
I was also in high school when this song was released, I loved it then& still loving it & all of Queen's music today! R.I.P. Freddie Mercury, Gpd Bless You & thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
The only group I’ve seen do a great version was Panic at the Disco when they did it live you can view the video on TH-cam. He is one of the only singers who can get close to matching Freddie’s vocals
Queen produced anthems.
A true reaction dude was froze aren't you suppose to pause the video like 50 times lol....his ears wouldn't let him!!!! You could see the emotions as the song went on how he rode the Queen train of holy moly!!!! Loved it
I'm 52 years old and just heard Queen only because of my kids. I was always into hip hop so when this came on I changed channels but my kids opened up my eyes and I love Queen
Try rainbow with dio as lead singer listen to rainbow eyes and stargazer. Your welcome
Late to the party but I had to pass on a heart-felt thanks to you for uploading this video:
The look on your face and reaction made me so happy - as a 50-something Brit I'm so familiar with Queen it's hard to appreciate how utterly amazing this song is. Thank you again for bringing that sense of amazed wonder back to me. I sincerely hope you continue to dig out these gems for yourself, there's plenty more!
My friend
This is still my #1 reaction for 2019
Genuine, sincere, respectful, I think everyone felt like they lost their Queen with you (again). Thanks man!
Freddie
28 years asleep and still inspiring
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
*dead
You know, there was no need to correct. After all, they don't call it a dirt nap for nothing.
Yes asleep...but as Jesus said a time coming in which all those asleep in the memorial tombs will come out to life....cant wait
@@flamingpieherman9822 I am pretty sure that we have not reached Tribulation yet so it is still a bit off yet.
Always!! Freddy Mercury
Finally a real reaction to the Best band ever
Watching him process what he is experiencing for the first time is simply the best! There is a reason that this song went to #1 on the charts twice! It’s simply the greatest song ever and will take you on a journey every time!
I've been watching this Queen video for 44 years and i still cry... perfect.
Same here, I'm 58 yrs. old and it still makes me cry, don't know why but it does. Since the first time I heard this song (back in the mid 1970's) on the radio I became addicted to the song and to Queen.
@@fierrote Me too. Except I'm 68!! And only "discovered" Queen a few yrs ago. This man's reaction was mine as well when I first laid eyes on Freddie Mercury. I saw him do his magic in Queen's Montreal Concert. I could not believe what I was experiencing. It was an epiphany like no other! FREDDIE BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!! I was mesmerized. I was hooked. I AM hooked, obsessed, devoted! I will love, adore, & revere Queen till my dying breath! 😲🕺😎
Yep me too, best band in the world.
@@FREDDIEistheBEST1 , it's because the band was like no other. Very talented musicians to bad the bass player never got over Freddy Mercury death and he became reclusive to the point of ignoring the other members of the band. Queen is touring again, with another vocalist.
I wish I had experienced the joy of music right. I am here stuck to a screen without being able to enjoy a single concert from them because I was born later in a different country.
Bman the fact that you were speechless over what you just heard and saw is the biggest compliment to Freddie Mercury and queen. Their music was on an entirely different level then everything else and it still is. I just found your Channel today and this is the first video I watched of your reaction and I'm already subscribing. Don't stop what you're doing and keep loving music Don't Stop
BMan, your expressions are so precious. Love and continued hearing more Queen. Reading the lyrics is very revealing. Originally the radios in UK said this song was too long, Freddie went to the stations and charmed the DJ’s into playing BH. The BH video was made solely by the band with some lights and a small stage. Being well into my 60’s I get try joy from watching the younger generations watch and listen. Practically every song they wrote is a hit. What a beautiful journey you stepped into. Good luck and God bless.
I loved how he was holding his breath to not miss anything during the vocal break.
I loved your face throughout haha!
Was absolutely priceless, wasn't it !!!
Jolly good
Well, now you have to see the Live Aid performance
fr1day2 yeah, I think he os ready 😉❤️
@@DanishThe1 He is, he should get a big chair, and put his seatbelt on!
fr1day2 live aid a must now one of the greatest bands with Freddie top 3 lead singers
fr1day2 live aid was so good
Definitely a must watch . Wish I had the chance to see them perform while Freddie was still alive. I’m from philly burbs and wish I had been at live aid watching that on the big screen and singing with everyone They’re actually on tour in my town tonight with Adam Lambert and I love him too,but sadly tix were way too much. Obviously not the same but I’m sure still a great show. .im 43 but it’s actually my daughter who has been the bigger Queen/Freddie fanatic and admit she got me listening again. What great music but live aid just gives me goosebumps,both in the movie and the actual concert footage . Definitely love seeing younger people appreciate truly good music
Your reaction brought tears to my eyes. I was fortunate to live at the same time as Freddie Mercury. 🌎✌
Hi. I’m 51 years old and seeing your reaction is like seeing it for the first time. Priceless. You have a beautiful mind and soul. Have fun discovering more of our wonderful world 👍👍👍
Brian May, the lead guitarist, holds a PhD in Astrophysics, so yea pretty much a genius...
Whaaaaat????
No he doesn't.
@@jonhohensee3258 Yeah he does. He really does. Look it up.
@@vladskiobi - AAAAAaaw.. COME ON, VLADIMIR... You're NOT FOOLIN' ANYONE.
@@jonhohensee3258 www.cnbc.com/2019/01/04/queen-guitarist-brian-may-is-also-an-astrophysicist.html
Yes, though wikipedia isn't the end all be all of knowledge it is a grand starting point. His page is rather good. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_May
best way to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody is lying on the floor with headphones on and your eyes closed, preferably played on vinyl. then when the song ends just continue laying there for 5 mins thinking about what you just heard, and repeat.
Walley Wallington i was in my bed with my earbuds on the first time i listened to it
Listening to vinyl with headphones is torture
@@cbass6774 You are either using a very dirty or worn out record, a very worn out stylus, or the turntable is really bad or not properly positioned. Or all combined. A clean record on a decent turntable is not torture, unless the music itself is torture.
....but if it were vinyl "god save the queen" would start playing so you couldn't just lay there to think. That's assuming one can't get a hold of the single which at this point would likely be very difficult.
And after that lisen Arcade fire Everyrthing now and Edward Sharpe Dear believer
Your reaction says it all!!! Check out their short 20 minute performance at Live Aid 1985. Still regarded as one of Queen’s best live performances of all times
Still gives me tingles, every time since it first came out. The greatest song ever written! Still remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. I was 14 and told my mum and dad that it was always going to be the best song ever.
Your reaction is how a person who appreciates music should react my friend! A masterpiece, is it not? It is a beautiful piece of music. You react from your heart. That's really cool. CARRY ON, CARRY ON....
Same thing I thought when I first heard them. Where have I been?!?!
There was the Beatles, then there was Queen!
I love watching people when they first experience the magic of Freddie !!!!
freddie, brian, roger and john
Not just freddie. BR is a true collaboration where everyone played important parts.
You said it all just right. That was a perfect reaction to a masterpiece of art.
Yes, for all the Hip Hoppers, BeBoppers, sharecroppers and namedroppers "THIS is music... O my God!"
@BMAN
That IS music !!! That is why oldies like me (I have been a great fan of Queen since 1974) say that today's music cannot in any way compare with what was being made in the 1970's and 80's. But you are lucky - you have now discovered Queen ! Have fun listening to more !❤
A fantastic, heartfelt reaction. So much to discover in the world of music. I'm so happy you found this amazing performance.
THIS is music.
I'm so glad I found this reaction and witnessing you getting introduced to one of the most profound and beautiful rock songs ever composed. Welcome to a brand new world of music my friend.
I still cannot understand how any person on this planet above the age of 20, has not yet heard this song...???
This is probably the best reaction video that I've seen so far. It's perhaps because my reaction to hearing and viewing this video was similar, especially after doing my research about Freddie Mercury and Queen. I find myself wishing that i had existed back when Queen was at it's prime. I am the biggest Freddie Mercury fan, like it's unreal how much i admire him for everything that he was. I am blown away by his talent. Geez i get goosebumps any time i express this. I get extremely sad when i think about how this man died, and wish his life wasn't cut so short. There is great music being made today but nothing is able to move me as much as this. It's just incredible. I also am a big Michael Jackson fan as well. Anyways, i really enjoyed your video. Hope you get a ton more views :)
67 yrs old still rockin with Freddie. Buy
Hey Carolina: so, u think YOU are the biggest Freddie Mercury Fan? Did u name ur son Freddie like I did? Mhm...? ;) cheers
I loved your authentic genuine reaction to Queen. Yes, this band, these performers were profound geniuses.
They weren't just mere performers; they were *_ARTISTS._*
@@whiterabbit75 they were and still are legends
4:43 thats it folks.. we got him. Add him to the list.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
Thank you for NOT interrupting the song ( like so many other reaction videos ) ......the look on your face was truly awesome as you watched this with the emotion and comprehending the song as it moved through different phase
This is one of the most sweetest expressions of having one's young mind being blown. :) Go on and enjoy some Queen, doll. They will not disappoint.
They represent Originality. Not trying to sound like others.
Except when they tried to sell out in hot space
@@matiaspereyra9375 They said that the record company was pushing them to come out with a new album quickly so they didn't have the luxury to take their time to do it their way. Record contracts favors the record company not the Artist(s).
So freakin' true
The greatest song ever, no question nothing even matches it. Thank you Queen and thank you to the amazing United Kingdom for giving the world the greatest band ever. The song stuns me everytime, everytime. Speechless, most people are......your not alone in that, thanks for sharing....
This the best reaction I've ever seen on any song!!
His face is like his gonna cry
Good for you boy that is MUSIC
Thanks for a REAL reaction and just not just pausing and commenting for attention.
except it's not REAL, it's just a fake asshole cashing in
Dont people pause a lot to avoid copyright?
Also notice how every reply he makes is a copy paste to his gofundme ... which he already put in the comment section. Lol
because it's a scam! Haha
lol..not really tho
Best reaction ever! So real and honest!
I can tell you what just happened: you’ve been enlightened my friend😂
"WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!!" you are young, so you are excused. It's a fantastic song and Freddy Mercury was brilliant.
Kelly Cranford it’s Freddie!
He's young? I'm 14 and I listen to songs older than my parents
@@YourName-lr7pl haha same
My first question was he's got a British(?) accent yet he's never heard of Queen? I think this is only about the third or fourth time he's even watched a t.v.
Kelly Cranford I’m not young and I never heard this song until this year.
LOVE your facial expressions. That's how I know you've been on the QUEEN ride. YEAA-aaHHH🥰. Musical Geniuses .
Yah, who needs words when you see that jaw drop? :D

Good old fashioned lover boy
Just listen to the Best of Queen album - I think that's pretty much the playlist and it's one where, if you hear one, you're geared up for the next one. According to Terry Pratchet, any tape when left in the car for more than two weeks, turns into "The Best of Queen" and the only explanation as to why every car in the '80s had a copy.
Best song ever. Can't hear it often enough. I am glad you got to hear it. I know you will be watching this over and over. The group Queen was unique and wonderful. Best music.
“wHeRe hAvE i bEeN?!” that was me when i found out about queen 😂
Most of us found queen because of the movie
@im batman Dude! I watched all of their concert (not posibly all) here in youtube. I also read articles about them and, YES!! I'M ONE OF THEIR FAN ALREADY😊
@@solemnchannel7717 No we didn't. Only the latest crop of young Americans. The rest of us were born knowing them.
Bman, your reaction to seeing this Queen video for the first time literally brought a tear to my eye. It's great to see how much you appreciate Queen's amazing music. Better late than never my friend! ♥♥♥
That was amazing. Just to watch the emotions run over you. To watch you get punched in the gut by such a classic rock n roll song for the very first time was absolutely moving and beautiful. Made me day. Thanks for putting this video up. I love it and I love you too! Cheers!
Why would anyone give a thumbs down. I've heard Queens stuff my whole life, I was born in 1975. And now I am discovering what I didnt hear on the radio. It is like hearing something new with a feeling of missing out on it for years. Watch Brian May break down the song in the studio. You will realize even more what genius it was.
Your face reactions are priceless!! I will definitely be visiting your channel again, and thank you for keeping QUEEN alive!!! ((Much respect))
best reaction video I've seen so far! 😘😘😘 I love how you just listened and absorbed the music... so genuine. 😊 Queen Lover here! Thanks for appreciating! ❤❤❤
Great reaction. You didn’t stop the video like so many others and you just listened to this classic, extraordinary song ...thanks for appreciating the music the way you did. It’s a one of a kind song isn’t it. Nothing else like it before or since. RIP Freddie Mercury and thank you for the music.
Welcome to the more than 2 Billions Queen and Freddie fans. There is a world of fantastic songs and incredible performances. I was in a Queen concert in Brazil in 1981 and can assure you, they are the BEST!
Freddie Mercury would have enjoyed watching your reaction! Now you need to see the movie Bohemian Rhapsody once, twice, one hundred times. . . you'll love it!
I loved the movie when I first saw it, but now I'm not so enamoured of it. The portrayal of Freddie as a self-indulgent guy who showed up late for work and slagged off is completely wrong - he was widely known for his perfectionism and professionalism. I don't care much about the timeline issues, as that always has to be messed with to fit the constraints of film, but I don't know if I can forgive the way the film disrespects him that way.
He first should be more in the real story of queen. But the actors were great and the music in the movie as well of course
@Elm TreeABC it's still a great movie I watched it 100 times
Totally agreed, I’ve watched it 6 times over the last week. The actors performance was fantastic!!!
Alicia I keep watching that movie over and over, I think it’s my new favorite movie
Can we just talk about what a genius Freddy Mercury was? Priceless reaction to a great song
D ALLEN freddie was a bad man!!! And a musical genius
Not just Freddie. Brian, Roger and Deacy too.
shows how much you know lol can’t even spell his name
@@bradleyfortniteclips1583 go play video games in the basement troll.
You forgot to mention Brian, Roger and John who are also geniuses.
They are and we’re the best band ever. Period.
That's awesome. My first response was exactly the same back in 1978 when I first heard it. My mind was blown. Where have I been? Who is this? This is music! This. Is. Fucking. Music. Queen fan for life from that point on. I will never stop missing Freddie Mercury and the guys.
I'm so happy for the young people who are discovering Queen for the first time! Such a gift! I wish you so much more joy and amazement! Greatest band of our lives! 🎶😍
I'm 19 years old guy and my father and I has been listening to Queen since forever ago. Queen is my father's morning jam every day.
I highly recommend Queen Somebody to Love, live 1981. Best live performance ever!
He did it
YES!!!
Your joy at discovering this masterpiece fixed my whole weekend, dude. I'm so happy! So happy and so excited you got to have such a Transcendental Experience with the song! Thank you, seriously! Greetings from Chile 💖
Back in the 70's, just about every song on the Radio was like that for me! It was my Favorite time for Music and 1974 was Absolutely my Favorite year, Hands Down!
Thank you for your Reaction, it was Awesome to watch!
Dude.. you took me back to my first time .. me being a 12 year old with a Sony cassette walk man, cruisen the streets on my pushie. I found this tape on the side on the road .. I didnt know that my life was about to change forever..
That’s a great story. It was fate you found that tape.
You never FOUND that tape my friend. It was put there for you to change your whole life.
So glad it worked it's miracle on you.
What?? No fuckin way!! Awesome story man!
You should write a screenplay about that :)
So true. Pushie? Aussie?
Oh son. wish I could hug you. Sweet man. we enjoyed great music in those days.
It's so moving to see someone experiencing a song like this for the first time
You have no idea how incredibly gratifying your response is! It really is amazing.Welcome to the wonderful world of Queen.
This is one of the if not THE greatest rock performances of all time.
This is the studio version
And another one bites the dust
pink floyd Pulse ;) . whole concert. absolute perfect. but you're right; queen can rival Pink floyds :)
You are only scratching the surface with that song!
We will Rock you is another one of many!
Love the reaction of being awakened!
Great that you can appreciate how the "good" music will never die,
See them live! It's even better!
The surprise and astonishment on your face are precious! And Bohemian Rhapsody, was a fabulous piece of music. Queen and Freddie were the best. There are many other Freddie/Queen performances for you to enjoy. The life shows are the best, the way Freddie and the audience interact with each other.
