As a 63 year old, I LOVE seeing you YOUNG guys letting it loose to this song! It's so cool to see the young generation appreciate the music us "Older" people grew up on!!!!!!
Yes, I'm 65 and still like my rock, blues, southern rock loud. They haven't heard musicians that are really good and songs have meaning. They like beat and bass 🔊 🤣. But will give other stuff a listen 🎶. 🎶 I love when they get happily surprised.
As black man that listens to a lot of rock I appreciate you young guys opening your minds and exploring different music. It's all kinds of good stuff out there in all kinds of different genres
And from different eras. Love that! Not sure if they´ve covered Beth Hart yet, but they def should! I´m sure you´ve come across her songs, right? If not: def recommend listening to her.
Absolutely!! Ppl are always surprised when I listen to country music then switch to rap, there are so many sounds out there, how can you love just one type of music!
Look up LAST CONCERT IN 1986 at Wembelton stadium. He KNEW her was dying and did a 2 HOUR SET .. NEVER STOPPED MOVING. LEFT IT ALL ON THE STAGE!! He would die 5 years later
Freddie Mercury is a front man like NO OTHER. He DEMANDS the attention of the crowd when on stage with his literal "song and dance" performances... The sheer power and control of this mans voice is UNMATCHED in the world of rock.
@@Kickinthescience lol at you young dude. Live aid by Freddie is and always will be considered the greatest live performance of all time bud, well before RnB take over and my time soz bro but no. Just no. RnB that tickled me 😂. An I’m not really a queen fan by any means. It’s just actual factual lol Bring the hate….
Something a girl said to me once that has stuck with me for decades... Queen didn't make songs. They made anthems. Every one of their songs is like it's in it's own genre, truly insanely gifted group of musicians. I highly recommend doing a reaction to their entire Live Aid performance at Wembly. It's a bit long, but it's worth it. Truly one of the most powerful live performances in history.
Queens live aid proformance is probably the greatest thing ever. Seeing how freddy works a crowd is just amazing. No band can control and work a crowd like him.
I am a teacher from Taiwan, I showed this song to our students this week. And they love it sooooo much. I think young generation needs to know the legend ❤
You boys are such a nice group of young men you made me laugh and cry with your excitement for my old favorites. I was so lucky to be able to have front row seats to see Queen when I was in high school. Thank you bringing me back to a wonderful place. Blessings
Queen is actually considered to have done the greatest live set in musical history, when they took the stage at the Live Aid Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1985. The way Freddie had the audience in the palm of his hand has never been matched, at least on video. Every other band there that day, and there were some of the best ever, said that it was Queen's day and that they had never seen a crowd react like that before.
When a name act played Wembley, it was pretty much always packed like that. New to the world in 2017, Dimash is an even more impressive singer/talent. I rate them both at the top, but Dimash has a wider vocal range.
Guys i was born in 1960. Let me tell you it was an amazing time to be alive! All the amazing music from the 60's thru some of the 80's unbelievable!! We saw them all first. Zeppelin,queen, Beatles,stones all of them. And we saw them live! Great great memories guys ❤️❤️
I am a 76 old woman and i love how you all react to these oldies but goodies.On the queen song loved watching the handsome one on the red shirt playing along on the guitar part.Tou guys are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Queens live aid 85 performance is considered one of the best 15 mins of Freddie and the guys performing magic. The best artists of the time were performing and queen blew them all away that day in 85.
The line “Mama, I don’t wanna die, sometimes I wish I’d never been born at all.” Hots right in the heart at LiveAid knowing his body was giving out due to AIDS. Freddie Mercury is a legend!
At the time of Live Aid, 1985, Freddie hadn't even been diagnosed as HIV + yet, let alone diagnosed with AIDS. That is one place where the movie really deviates from the timeline so many people are confused on that fact.
It definitely was a foreboding line, in retrospect. I feel the “man” he killed is himself. I feel it’s related to his original mental struggle of being gay in the face of loving Mary, his fiancé, and the expectations of his parents and the Zoroastrian faith. He made the decision to embrace his homosexuality and killed the old Freddie.
It is rumored (and partially confirmed) that he wrote this about a plague that had began hitting a few of his close friends and he watched them battle it. At that time it was wasn't studied yet much less named, it was simply whispered about as "that gay disease".
No Live Aid comes after you have gone down the rabbit Queen hole. Trust me it's better once you have become accustomed to many of their songs like Another One Bites the Dust, We are the Champions, We Will Rock You, Don't Stop me Know, I want It All, Radio Gaga, Under Pressure, Somebody to Love live in Montreal the list goes on and one and then when you see Live Aid the impact will be much more meaningful
You guys rock for reviving these songs to the younger gen. Bohemian Rhapsody was BEST wearing those giant headphones and having the audio go left them right. We miss you Freddie 💋
Freddie Mercury is the man. No other singer could command a crowd like he could. Queen’s performance at Live Aid in 1985 was unreal. That was almost 20 years before I was born, and I feel like I missed out. What a show.
That’s cool you love their music despite being too young to have seen that show . I was born in 77 and love 70’s music. So I feel I missed out on lots of 60’s and 70’s concerts . I’ve not been to as many concerts as I’d have liked to because my mom was strict and thought I’d get trampled . Mosh pits were a big thing when I was the age to go to concerts. So I had to sneak . 🤣. I was able to see Bad Company ( first concert) with my uncle and that was the only one I was allowed to go to cuz it was with my uncle. I love Bad Company. So that’s cool 😎
@@littlebeebs1 Yeah. Luckily my dad grew up in that era so I was one of the few in my generation who was introduced to this music. Ted Nugent, Bad Company, The Doors, George Thorogood, all of those guys. I've never been to a concert because he had settled down by the time I came along, but I hope to go one day in the future.
When asked by an interviewer what instrument he played, without missing a beat Freddie Mercury answered "the audience darling". Also he was a fashion designer, Brian May (guitarist) is an astrophysicist, John Deacon (bass player) is a sound engineer and Roger Taylor (drums) was or studied to be a dentist. They did the soundtrack for the Highlander movie starring Christopher Lambert. You should check out the song 'Gimme the prize' , it's REALLY good. The album is called ' A kind of magic'. I wore that album out from constant play in my teens. It's now a must have on my playlist. 😊
His 1985 Live Aid performance, where he has over 100,000 people in the palm of his hand, is the greatest ever!! I was 14 and still remember to this day the hairs standing up on my arms..❤❤❤
Gentlemen, I am 65 & have never enjoyed listening to this song more than I have while watching you rock out to it. You guys are adorable and have made my day more joyous. Thank you! 🥂😊
The Beatles was started in the1964 when they came over from England, the band Queen was started in the late 1970s. Enjoy the music our generation has enjoyed it for years and years. Stay blessed.
I’m 63 yrs old and when this came out we were never the same again. The vocals. No synthesizers. The greatest guitar solo of all time. Nice to see the younger generations discover this treasure. Rock on!!!
@@alexg4936disagree, best solo doesn’t mean fastest or hardest to play imo, it’s the one with the most emotion. comfortably numb by pink floyd does it for me
Guys, the song is a vibe and a technical achievement. Nowadays you can just press a button but back then they had to have the vision and ingenuity to actually craft the operatic harmonies in the edit, which was many hours of labor. It was a genuine artistic revolution
Gimme QUEEN ANY DAY of the WEEK!! Hands DOWN The BEST SONG EVER and I dare say, one of the best bands ever!! I do appreciate how you've amended your disrespect for Bohemian Rhapsody. You see the way clearly now and bang your heads to that wicked beat! LOL. Great video gentlemen. It was by far the best part of my day, watching y'all enjoy this song again. :)
I'm 39 and enjoy all genres of music, old and new, foreign and local, from the heaviest metal, to the cheesiest pop. I play piano, have played the guitar and a number of other instruments, as well as having done some digital stuff as well. There is still plenty of talent (both with digital and traditional instruments), as well as there still being plenty of talented people. The issue isn't that it's disappeared, it's that people don't look deep enough. It's also worth noting that music composed digitally, like art done digitally, isn't easier. It's different, but still requires an intricate understanding of music to actually get anywhere with it.
Sitting here laughing so hard at you guys🤣😂😅🤣😂. I’m a 78 year old Nana and just love Queen! Freddy Mercury, degree in Graphic Design & Illustration; Brian May, PHD in Astrophysics; Taylor, degree in Biology and Deacon, degree in Electronics with 1st class honors. How can you not be impressed?! Each of them have extraordinary singing voices. They play their different instruments as if born with them. Most have talent in writing music and words. QUEEN is “Simply the BEST” and a GOAT forever🤩❤️. What a pleasure watching you watch Queen’s performance and thoroughly enjoying the whole experience along with listening to your breakdown of the song. Keep it up🙂
Their 20 mins. On stage at Live Aid was Epic! Freddie even leads the audience in a vocal warm up. Freddie was advised by his doctor not to preform because he was having problems with his throat. We couldn't tell. Their will never be another Freddie Mercury.
I was 23 when this came out in '75. Let me tell ya, it blew everybody away - nothing like it had ever been done in Rock. I'm so glad I was young in the '70s!
This song is almost 50 years old, this is not a song this is ART spread by a genius one of the greatest most talented singer, performer ever. Even in extreme pain, could barely walk or stand he carried on right to the end to be THE BEST ever. Gone too soon but what a legacy he left. Love you for ever R.I P Freddie
My friend and I saw Queen in September 1973 at the age of16 at a BBC radio recording in London, we had free tickets and had not heard of Queen at all, there was about 30 of us in the theatre and we were blown away. Glad you love them too.
@@cg9059 I remember Father and Son, Seven Seas of Rhye and some off Queen 1 and they entered to a Royal sounding tune called Celebration, I think. No cameras were allowed and camera phones had not been invented !! It was recorded but I havent bought that as it is quite rare.
My 1st concert was Queen, 14 yrs old. BEST band ever! There'll never be another Freddy, you have to watch the LIVE AID concert - it'll blow your mind. All who played after Queen was like oh man now we have to go out there.
Queen released this when I was 15 yrs old. I’m now 63 and it still the greatest musical masterpiece of all time. ❤ Great reaction! Seeing you all rock out was great!
I absolutely love the reaction of the man in center! The way his face lights up! It’s awesome! I’m really glad I discovered you guys and enjoy hearing your opinions on multiple topics.

I’m a 70 yr old man who grew up thru this starting with the Beatles 1964 Ed Sullivan. You guys are great, your innocence, naïveté, openness, interest, fun, learning, awareness, curiosity, discovery and understanding of the new things you discover is really great. Hope you never lose these qualities as you grow older and old
From a 57 year old white guy in Florida I think you guys are great! Thanks for y’all’s honest and mature thoughts on everything going on in the world today. All of your parents must be very proud of how their sons have become respectful young men. I have 2 sons which I brought up “ treat everyone with respect…period.” It is very obvious your parents told you the same advice. Keep up the good work from a former track guy in high school too…
why do Americans always bring color and race to everything they say. Why white man and not man, as a Portuguese I don't understand, if someone can explain
@@martimesperancaalmeida5277 because sadly in America a lot of races don't tend to run in the same circles as other races, not I tentionally often, just sometimes socio economic, region, culture etc. So when a white guy says, As a white guy... here it means, I've never met or communicated w people that look like u, and I'm so excited we have things in common that I didn't think I would, and we like the same things! It's not negative here, it's a beautiful bonding between ages and races these young men are doing :) Hope thst helps
@@leahpollard3710 Oh ok, i see now cause here overseas nobody ever talk about color here there is whites and blacks richs, whites and blacks in the hoods, white and blacks hang with each other. the color is not what make us different it’s more the socio economic class. That’s why I asked the question, thanks for the answer bro
This song has actually used different genres. One song! Rock, opera, ballad, and pop. That’s how awesome they were. They used multiple different types of instruments.
So glad you guys are truly appreciating the greatest that is Queen. Bryan May is the master of the guitar - he started the band with Freddie Mercury. Currently he is also known as Dr. May, renowned astrophysicist (he put his studies on hold after Queen's popularity exploded, but went back to get his PhD.). A phenomenal guy.
Roger Taylor on drums and hitting the high notes on Somebody to love… there’s a video of he and Freddie playing off each other on that one that will astound you.
Thanks to Quora: Freddie did not have operatic training. His only training came from being in choir in boarding school and taking piano lessons. Freddie was a self taught singer and worked very hard to practice and determine his best sound. He fell in love with Montserrat Caballé‘s operatic vocals, and when she asked to meet him, he and Mike Moran went to Barcelona to see her. They formed an immediate bond which led to the creation of the album. Barcelona Freddy sang in the tenor range, but Montserrat said he was a true baritone, and he sang that way for her.
As a 60 yr old I had so much fun watching you guys listen to this! I stil get goosebumps everytime I hear this song. This was the 1st album I ever bought when I was in Junior High-a 33 RPM LP (that’s vinyl in case you don’t know)
Queen is so versatile. You REALLY, REALLY should react to "Somebody to Love" Montreal 1981. No autotune; just their live voices and instruments. It's perfect and you'll probably be impressed.
I am 68 years old and I love watching all you guys reactions to our music. We grew up on the best music of my generation. If you haven't already you must check out the bands Leonard Skynard and Def Leopard. You will love it God Bless and stay safe in this crazy world we all live in!!
Rock was a major part of my childhood (thanks pops) so seeing people reacting so positively to something I hold so dear to my heart, just fills me with so much joy and nostalgia. I wish I could hear this song again for the first time for sure
Guys they were revolutionary - you should watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Its easy to forget Brian May made that guitar himself as a teen. Brian filled the wormholes with matchsticks as he carved out the neck. The center body of the Red Special was created from oak, the wood recycled from an old table. The sides of the guitar could be made of weaker material since they don't have to support the string tension - Insane right? The wood from an old table lol
Now that you've listen to the original...You need to listen to it now with Adam Lambert singing lead...SIDE NOTE---The guitarist all in white,is STILL apart of the group today and they still perform...
Heyyyyyy guys. I just came across you all’s channel and I’m just enjoying watching all of you appreciate the music that I grew up with from the 70’s 80’s and early 90’s. I’m a black woman who just fell in love with Queens music and rock n roll. The song that you listen to which is a masterpiece was about Freddy Mercury telling his mother that he is a gay man. If you all have not seen the Live Aid performance he did in the 80’s it’s one to watch. Not sure if you all have watched Boy George, Madonna and Sade but those artist were just phenomenal and made some awesome music. As of today all of you have a new subscriber….. keep enjoying the music and I will enjoy reminiscing the wonderful times of my childhood.
A wise man once said : if you want to know if a person is worth to be part of your life then start playing "Bohemian rhapsody". If the person doesn't know the song and don't move or start showing any positive feelings for it, then kick it out of your life 😁😂Freddy Mercury was a genius. I cried a river as I saw the report about his death in the news as I was a teenager 😢😞I will never forget him and I know a lot of people won't do either. He gave the world a big gift. Thank you Freddy😍😍
OMG I laughed out loud when the band hit the rock sequence and you guys went all Wayne's World in the car!! Loved it. Great head banging, great reaction video guys, you really cheered me up.
You guys are awesome. I’m 55 and been listening to this my whole life. You guys let it play without jumping in with commentary. Respect. It’s mean when everyone sings it. Always gets played at a house party.
Watching you guys get hypnotised by the beginning lyrics and then explode with energy feeling it was a true pleasure to watch. Having the younger generation appreciate the old timeless classics is a joy ❤
I dig the dude in the middle of the frame of the CFam who said he didn't know the song and then started smiling and bobbing to the part of the song that picked up. He went from kind of bored to full on liking it. So fun.
you know guys I am 65 and I am so glad I went back to listen to the wealth of music that the years I have accumulated throughout the years, Queen is a diamond and I am so happy you appreciate the intelligence behind this beautiful work
Thanks god i raised my 3 girls listening to best 70s, 80s song, Queen is legend, ACDC, Simple Red, scorpion, Metallica, Micheal Jackson etc, Best of the best
FINALLY! I have waited months for y’all to “open your eyes” to the greatness of Queen. Btw, if a commenter has not already said this, the opening “four heads” is not four voices. It is all Freddie harmonizing with himself. He was in a class by himself but as a band together, Queen’s studio harmonies are meticulous and masterful. With some exceptions, the live versions blow studio out of the water but both are incredibly & wonderfully different experiences. Please go down the Queen rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed.
Growth is what it's all about...for everyone. Glad you revisited this song. It grew on me too, just like you guys. Lot's of thoughtful comments coming from all of you. Thanks.
Our era of music is so much better than these days! Thay played all there own instruments! And you could understand what they were saying ! You should listen to Simon and garfunkel the sound of silence 1964, then listen to a stunning cover of this song by Disturbed! There is so much music out there for you to experience for the first time! Lucky you!
Nobody did it like Freddie and Queen. Bo Rhap is in our DNA, to the extent that if you can’t sing it are you even English? Look up the Greenday concert where the crowd sing the whole song on their own. Absolute goosebumps!🥰
Queen is One of the most Legendary bands in the world! Freddy Mercury and his voice is unmatched!!! When he performed he commanded the staged and the audience was was absolutely captivated by his voice and their music!! I'm very happy to see my home boys enjoying an ageless classic!
As a 71 year old raised on Queen's music, & remembering where I was the day Freddie died, I'm delighted to see you just as enthralled by his music & talent as my generation was. Rock ON!
Great reaction guys! I love that your doing some basic research before listening to legendary songs. Just an FYI- headphones/earbuds are a MUST for this song. Part of its appeal is the genius sound engineering sending different parts into different ears. Check it out with headphones and you’ll get what I mean. 🤘🔥
During their 17 or so minutes on stage at Live Aid they literally held the world in their hands. Nobody could work a crowd and hold them like Freddie Mercury. The Live Aid performance has been called by many the greatest rock performance ever. So glad you younger guys liked it!
First of all: you guys crack me up!! Keep on, keepin’ on. I’m 71 yrs old and I remember the first time I heard this song and my reaction was “ what the hell was that?” I was blown away by the diverse styles thrown together in this song. Freddie Mercury’s voice, Brian May’s guitar, and the harmonies of the entire group was simply astounding. This song puts the “classic” in classic rock. Just an old guy’s opinion. 😉

Incredible talent lost, Freddie was a legend
The best version for me is when they perform at a park in like 1975 the most rare version
This song is a masterpiece. No other way to describe it.
A historical event!
But Wayne’s World didn’t hurt 😊
Queen is the best!
It's dope
yup hehe wayne's world brought an old song back to life and introduced it to us youngens back then

Bring the hate….
Mercury had sex with young boys, why is he not canceled like R. Kelly? Both are perverts
He was born to be a front man... no doubt. Was pretty genuine too I believe.
Brian May's phrasing on that solo is just on another level..
I am as old as dirt 85 years old and I enjoy y’all listening to songs I grew up to❤❤❤❤

I saw them in 81’ and they played over 3 hrs. Saw every top act from the late 70s until about 1984 and Queen was the best
Greatest rock performance of all time!!!

@@JohnWarner-lu8rq what are you talking about dude?
@@JohnWarner-lu8rq who even is the Dimish guy? Everyone knew Queen world wide befor internet ever existed. Nothing today can be compared to them.

Let's not forget Brian May, one of the best living guitarists ever. Also an actual scientist.
This was made without any auto tune or modern electronics. Just their music and normal voices. Amazing!!

I’m 58. I learned to sing and hear every harmony by blaring my cassette tape listening to Queen in my room. Those were good times.
I’m 68. I love watching you guys respond to new groups and their great music. One of the greatest songs ever. Good job guys. Expanding your horizons!
No one has a voice like Freddie Mercury, glad you guys liked it!
Y'all need to watch the Queen Live Aid performance. Considered by many one of the best stage performances ever!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!
No Live Aid comes after you have gone down the rabbit Queen hole.

Yes!
Incredible. They owned england that day
Yes Absolutely 👍🏻
I give you young kings full props for leaving your comfort zones and opening yourselves up to good music that was before your Era. Great stuff
You guys rock for reviving these songs to the younger gen. Bohemian Rhapsody was BEST wearing those giant headphones and having the audio go left them right. We miss you Freddie 💋
Yes we do !
I love these young guys enjoying these great song of my time !
Freddie Mercury is the man. No other singer could command a crowd like he could. Queen’s performance at Live Aid in 1985 was unreal. That was almost 20 years before I was born, and I feel like I missed out. What a show.
That’s cool you love their music despite being too young to have seen that show . I was born in 77 and love 70’s music. So I feel I missed out on lots of 60’s and 70’s concerts . I’ve not been to as many concerts as I’d have liked to because my mom was strict and thought I’d get trampled . Mosh pits were a big thing when I was the age to go to concerts. So I had to sneak . 🤣. I was able to see Bad Company ( first concert) with my uncle and that was the only one I was allowed to go to cuz it was with my uncle. I love Bad Company. So that’s cool 😎
No other singer? Bruce Dickson Iron Maiden Live Rio,Brian Johnson ACDC River Plate both singers that command crowds attention.
One word ELVIS
@@MrTengaere I know those people can command a crowds attention, I was just stating my opinion that Freddie was better from what I've seen.
@@littlebeebs1 Yeah. Luckily my dad grew up in that era so I was one of the few in my generation who was introduced to this music. Ted Nugent, Bad Company, The Doors, George Thorogood, all of those guys. I've never been to a concert because he had settled down by the time I came along, but I hope to go one day in the future.
This is a masterpiece. No one can tell me different. The greatest live performance at live aid the world will ever see. Rest in piece Freddie Mercury
*Peace
He fucked himself to death, a worthy end. Don't stop me now....
When asked by an interviewer what instrument he played, without missing a beat Freddie Mercury answered "the audience darling". Also he was a fashion designer, Brian May (guitarist) is an astrophysicist, John Deacon (bass player) is a sound engineer and Roger Taylor (drums) was or studied to be a dentist. They did the soundtrack for the Highlander movie starring Christopher Lambert. You should check out the song 'Gimme the prize' , it's REALLY good. The album is called ' A kind of magic'. I wore that album out from constant play in my teens. It's now a must have on my playlist. 😊
Freddie Mercury is the all time best male vocalist and all round artist of all time, the GOAT...
His 1985 Live Aid performance, where he has over 100,000 people in the palm of his hand, is the greatest ever!! I was 14 and still remember to this day the hairs standing up on my arms..❤❤❤
'EEEEY-YO!
Gentlemen, I am 65 & have never enjoyed listening to this song more than I have while watching you rock out to it. You guys are adorable and have made my day more joyous. Thank you! 🥂😊
im 15, i think its pretty badass that you watch this type of content.
@@somedumbkid69 Thank you!
It reminded me of the scene from Wayne's World when Wayne and his friends were in the car rocking out to this.
The Beatles was started in the1964 when they came over from England, the band Queen was started in the late 1970s. Enjoy the music our generation has enjoyed it for years and years. Stay blessed.
Early 70s correction their first album was for the movie flash Gordon
MASTERPIECE! ❤🎶
Thank you guy on the right;
Respect for these gifted musicians.
I’m 63 yrs old and when this came out we were never the same again. The vocals. No synthesizers. The greatest guitar solo of all time. Nice to see the younger generations discover this treasure. Rock on!!!
I wouldn’t say it’s the best but it definitely has the most emotion
It's great, but I think the one in Hotel California by the Eagles is even better.
this is possibly the greatest rock song of all time BUT the greatest guitar solo of all time goes to Lynyrd Skynyrd in Free Bird hands down.
@@alexg4936disagree, best solo doesn’t mean fastest or hardest to play imo, it’s the one with the most emotion. comfortably numb by pink floyd does it for me
Guys, the song is a vibe and a technical achievement. Nowadays you can just press a button but back then they had to have the vision and ingenuity to actually craft the operatic harmonies in the edit, which was many hours of labor. It was a genuine artistic revolution
So glad I grew up during a time of great music like this!!
@@loritajohnson5664 Me too! Absolutely
I was 10 when this came out. I was flabbergasted…. I’m forever a fan of the band, and a rabid fan of Freddie Mercury. I’ll miss him forever….
Gimme QUEEN ANY DAY of the WEEK!! Hands DOWN The BEST SONG EVER and I dare say, one of the best bands ever!! I do appreciate how you've amended your disrespect for Bohemian Rhapsody. You see the way clearly now and bang your heads to that wicked beat! LOL. Great video gentlemen. It was by far the best part of my day, watching y'all enjoy this song again. :)
This is considered a rock opera. He was a genious. Nobody can compare.
My friends I'm 61 yrs young and will never forget when music was created and played by musicians and instruments not computers. This was talent.
Oldhead
I absolutely agree!!👏👍
@@sr.6816 oldhead
You talk as if producing music with computers was easy. Look up how hard it is to produce electronic music
I'm 39 and enjoy all genres of music, old and new, foreign and local, from the heaviest metal, to the cheesiest pop. I play piano, have played the guitar and a number of other instruments, as well as having done some digital stuff as well.
There is still plenty of talent (both with digital and traditional instruments), as well as there still being plenty of talented people. The issue isn't that it's disappeared, it's that people don't look deep enough.
It's also worth noting that music composed digitally, like art done digitally, isn't easier. It's different, but still requires an intricate understanding of music to actually get anywhere with it.
St letting you guys know, Freddie Mercury had a 4 octave range in his voice.
Sitting here laughing so hard at you guys🤣😂😅🤣😂. I’m a 78 year old Nana and just love Queen! Freddy Mercury, degree in Graphic Design & Illustration; Brian May, PHD in Astrophysics; Taylor, degree in Biology and Deacon, degree in Electronics with 1st class honors. How can you not be impressed?! Each of them have extraordinary singing voices. They play their different instruments as if born with them. Most have talent in writing music and words. QUEEN is “Simply the BEST” and a GOAT forever🤩❤️. What a pleasure watching you watch Queen’s performance and thoroughly enjoying the whole experience along with listening to your breakdown of the song. Keep it up🙂
Their 20 mins. On stage at Live Aid was Epic! Freddie even leads the audience in a vocal warm up. Freddie was advised by his doctor not to preform because he was having problems with his throat. We couldn't tell. Their will never be another Freddie Mercury.
I was 23 when this came out in '75. Let me tell ya, it blew everybody away - nothing like it had ever been done in Rock. I'm so glad I was young in the '70s!
Lucky very Lucky, im from the 2000s BUT queen is just the best i've ever heard, my ears where blessed when i found out
Then you remember 60s too and that was worth living through even as kids I think!
This song is almost 50 years old, this is not a song this is ART spread by a genius one of the greatest most talented singer, performer ever. Even in extreme pain, could barely walk or stand he carried on right to the end to be THE BEST ever. Gone too soon but what a legacy he left. Love you for ever R.I P Freddie
My friend and I saw Queen in September 1973 at the age of16 at a BBC radio recording in London, we had free tickets and had not heard of Queen at all, there was about 30 of us in the theatre and we were blown away. Glad you love them too.
Wowwww what a memory! What songs did they perform?
@@cg9059 I remember Father and Son, Seven Seas of Rhye and some off Queen 1 and they entered to a Royal sounding tune called Celebration, I think. No cameras were allowed and camera phones had not been invented !! It was recorded but I havent bought that as it is quite rare.
Respect for circling back on this one. Their performance at LiveAid is a must watch.
Please tell me how you young men are related. Please are you brothers.
What a masterpiece. And Freddy was just pure *charisma*
My 1st concert was Queen, 14 yrs old. BEST band ever! There'll never be another Freddy, you have to watch the LIVE AID concert - it'll blow your mind. All who played after Queen was like oh man now we have to go out there.
Freddie Mercury and Queen were absolutely brilliant and so ahead of their time!
Queen released this when I was 15 yrs old. I’m now 63 and it still the greatest musical masterpiece of all time. ❤ Great reaction! Seeing you all rock out was great!
Yes I've loved this song from jump❤❤❤
I was 10 and I remember the first time us kids heard it on the rock station we lost it in the car. 🤘🏾
Wow. I was floored when he said he’d never heard ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. People really be in their own bubbles 😅
I absolutely love the reaction of the man in center! The way his face lights up! It’s awesome! I’m really glad I discovered you guys and enjoy hearing your opinions on multiple topics.
I’m a 70 yr old man who grew up thru this starting with the Beatles 1964 Ed Sullivan.
You guys are great, your innocence, naïveté, openness, interest, fun, learning, awareness, curiosity, discovery and understanding of the new things you discover is really great.
Hope you never lose these qualities as you grow older and old
From a 57 year old white guy in Florida I think you guys are great! Thanks for y’all’s honest and mature thoughts on everything going on in the world today. All of your parents must be very proud of how their sons have become respectful young men. I have 2 sons which I brought up “ treat everyone with respect…period.” It is very obvious your parents told you the same advice. Keep up the good work from a former track guy in high school too…
why do Americans always bring color and race to everything they say. Why white man and not man, as a Portuguese I don't understand, if someone can explain
@@martimesperancaalmeida5277 because sadly in America a lot of races don't tend to run in the same circles as other races, not I tentionally often, just sometimes socio economic, region, culture etc. So when a white guy says, As a white guy... here it means, I've never met or communicated w people that look like u, and I'm so excited we have things in common that I didn't think I would, and we like the same things!
It's not negative here, it's a beautiful bonding between ages and races these young men are doing :)
Hope thst helps
@@leahpollard3710 Oh ok, i see now cause here overseas nobody ever talk about color here there is whites and blacks richs, whites and blacks in the hoods, white and blacks hang with each other. the color is not what make us different it’s more the socio economic class. That’s why I asked the question, thanks for the answer bro
@@martimesperancaalmeida5277 totally get that. We have too, just not everybody lol
I thought this was disrespectful. They heard this song before.
This song went to #1 4 different times in 4 different decades. That's all you need to really know about the greatness of this song
One of the greatest songs..ever!! Rock opera!! I love it....😊
Im a 56 yr old who grew up with this song i lovec your reaction to this. God Bless you all!!!!
This song has actually used different genres. One song! Rock, opera, ballad, and pop. That’s how awesome they were. They used multiple different types of instruments.
Hence “Rhapsody”
Queen one of the best bands ever... Freddie Mercury was in a league of his own!!!
The best was the smile on the face of the man in the middle - wonderful
He had a gift & was a great song writer. The band was great together!!
So glad you guys are truly appreciating the greatest that is Queen. Bryan May is the master of the guitar - he started the band with Freddie Mercury. Currently he is also known as Dr. May, renowned astrophysicist (he put his studies on hold after Queen's popularity exploded, but went back to get his PhD.). A phenomenal guy.
Now Dr Sir Brian May - Knight of the Realm, Astrophysicist and Rock God :-)
6:40 Brian May wrote the solo, not Freddie
Brian May started the band with Roger Tayler. It was called smile before Queen. When Freddie joined the band, it was his idea to change it to Queen.
@@nzmoggy3898 #facts I jokingly refer to him as Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist, college professor and part-time rock star.
Roger Taylor on drums and hitting the high notes on Somebody to love… there’s a video of he and Freddie playing off each other on that one that will astound you.
Freddie trained to be a opera and classical singer but became one of the best front men of one of the best rock bands ever!
Thanks to Quora:
Freddie did not have operatic training. His only training came from being in choir in boarding school and taking piano lessons. Freddie was a self taught singer and worked very hard to practice and determine his best sound. He fell in love with Montserrat Caballé‘s operatic vocals, and when she asked to meet him, he and Mike Moran went to Barcelona to see her. They formed an immediate bond which led to the creation of the album. Barcelona Freddy sang in the tenor range, but Montserrat said he was a true baritone, and he sang that way for her.
The power of Queen’s music is undeniable. Right up there with The Beatles.
As a 60 yr old I had so much fun watching you guys listen to this! I stil get goosebumps everytime I hear this song.
This was the 1st album I ever bought when I was in Junior High-a 33 RPM LP (that’s vinyl in case you don’t know)
Queen is so versatile. You REALLY, REALLY should react to "Somebody to Love" Montreal 1981. No autotune; just their live voices and instruments. It's perfect and you'll probably be impressed.
I was at that show as a teenager. Amazing!
The song is a piece of art, so many pieces and so many different sounds and styles.
I am 68 years old and I love watching all you guys reactions to our music. We grew up on the best music of my generation. If you haven't already you must check out the bands Leonard Skynard and Def Leopard. You will love it God Bless and stay safe in this crazy world we all live in!!
Rock was a major part of my childhood (thanks pops) so seeing people reacting so positively to something I hold so dear to my heart, just fills me with so much joy and nostalgia. I wish I could hear this song again for the first time for sure
Guys they were revolutionary - you should watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Its easy to forget Brian May made that guitar himself as a teen. Brian filled the wormholes with matchsticks as he carved out the neck. The center body of the Red Special was created from oak, the wood recycled from an old table. The sides of the guitar could be made of weaker material since they don't have to support the string tension - Insane right? The wood from an old table lol
First Queen song I ever learned the lyrics to. Freddie Mercury was brilliant !! R.I.P Freddie, miss you much love ❤
Now that you've listen to the original...You need to listen to it now with Adam Lambert singing lead...SIDE NOTE---The guitarist all in white,is STILL apart of the group today and they still perform...
Heyyyyyy guys. I just came across you all’s channel and I’m just enjoying watching all of you appreciate the music that I grew up with from the 70’s 80’s and early 90’s. I’m a black woman who just fell in love with Queens music and rock n roll. The song that you listen to which is a masterpiece was about Freddy Mercury telling his mother that he is a gay man. If you all have not seen the Live Aid performance he did in the 80’s it’s one to watch. Not sure if you all have watched Boy George, Madonna and Sade but those artist were just phenomenal and made some awesome music. As of today all of you have a new subscriber….. keep enjoying the music and I will enjoy reminiscing the wonderful times of my childhood.
A wise man once said : if you want to know if a person is worth to be part of your life then start playing "Bohemian rhapsody". If the person doesn't know the song and don't move or start showing any positive feelings for it, then kick it out of your life 😁😂Freddy Mercury was a genius. I cried a river as I saw the report about his death in the news as I was a teenager 😢😞I will never forget him and I know a lot of people won't do either. He gave the world a big gift. Thank you Freddy😍😍
Bohemian rhapsody makes me feel so emotional every time I hear it it is truly a masterpiece ❤
OMG I laughed out loud when the band hit the rock sequence and you guys went all Wayne's World in the car!! Loved it. Great head banging, great reaction video guys, you really cheered me up.
You guys are awesome. I’m 55 and been listening to this my whole life. You guys let it play without jumping in with commentary. Respect. It’s mean when everyone sings it. Always gets played at a house party.
Watching you guys get hypnotised by the beginning lyrics and then explode with energy feeling it was a true pleasure to watch. Having the younger generation appreciate the old timeless classics is a joy ❤
This song is worth learning the lyrics to. There’s nothing better than all your friends singing this together like in Wayne’s World.
You guys crack me up!!! I'm glad you enjoyed this epic classic!
If you want to here some cool music,try the doors la woman, light my fire,riders on the storm . Just to name a few of there songs
I dig the dude in the middle of the frame of the CFam who said he didn't know the song and then started smiling and bobbing to the part of the song that picked up. He went from kind of bored to full on liking it. So fun.
you know guys I am 65 and I am so glad I went back to listen to the wealth of music that the years I have accumulated throughout the years, Queen is a diamond and I am so happy you appreciate the intelligence behind this beautiful work
Thanks god i raised my 3 girls listening to best 70s, 80s song, Queen is legend, ACDC, Simple Red, scorpion, Metallica, Micheal Jackson etc, Best of the best
They'll be grateful..The Kinks and The Animals are great too
FINALLY! I have waited months for y’all to “open your eyes” to the greatness of Queen. Btw, if a commenter has not already said this, the opening “four heads” is not four voices. It is all Freddie harmonizing with himself. He was in a class by himself but as a band together, Queen’s studio harmonies are meticulous and masterful. With some exceptions, the live versions blow studio out of the water but both are incredibly & wonderfully different experiences. Please go down the Queen rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed.
That’s really interesting, the four heads part
Growth is what it's all about...for everyone. Glad you revisited this song. It grew on me too, just like you guys. Lot's of thoughtful comments coming from all of you. Thanks.
These guys have to grow on you. They come across as dim sometimes but they have true appreciation. I honestly believe that
I love seeing the younger guys getting into queen.. much respect is earned
Our era of music is so much better than these days! Thay played all there own instruments! And you could understand what they were saying ! You should listen to Simon and garfunkel the sound of silence 1964, then listen to a stunning cover of this song by Disturbed! There is so much music out there for you to experience for the first time! Lucky you!
Nobody did it like Freddie and Queen. Bo Rhap is in our DNA, to the extent that if you can’t sing it are you even English?
Look up the Greenday concert where the crowd sing the whole song on their own. Absolute goosebumps!🥰
Queen is One of the most Legendary bands in the world!
Freddy Mercury and his voice is unmatched!!! When he performed he commanded the staged and the audience was was absolutely captivated by his voice and their music!!
I'm very happy to see my home boys enjoying an ageless classic!
As a 71 year old raised on Queen's music, & remembering where I was the day Freddie died, I'm delighted to see you just as enthralled by his music & talent as my generation was. Rock ON!
The greatest band and the most recognised voice on the planet, oh and yea British.
One thing that made Queen unique was achieving this sound without electronic synthesizers.
Great reaction guys! I love that your doing some basic research before listening to legendary songs. Just an FYI- headphones/earbuds are a MUST for this song. Part of its appeal is the genius sound engineering sending different parts into different ears. Check it out with headphones and you’ll get what I mean. 🤘🔥
You will be amazed,,Freddie Mercury is a legend!!!Would love to see you react to ,,We are the Champions,,!!
During their 17 or so minutes on stage at Live Aid they literally held the world in their hands. Nobody could work a crowd and hold them like Freddie Mercury. The Live Aid performance has been called by many the greatest rock performance ever. So glad you younger guys liked it!
My teenage years..loving the head bobbing
First of all: you guys crack me up!! Keep on, keepin’ on.
I’m 71 yrs old and I remember the first time I heard this song and my reaction was “ what the hell was that?” I was blown away by the diverse styles thrown together in this song. Freddie Mercury’s voice, Brian May’s guitar, and the harmonies of the entire group was simply astounding. This song puts the “classic” in classic rock. Just an old guy’s opinion. 😉
60's and 70's best music ever made by far .
born in 68 grew up with the greatest music. it was a time before video games,internet etc. we lived to hear the next great song and the radio.
