The truth is that 'music videos' have been made for a very long time (Oh, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison has a non-performance based video made in 1958), but the video for Bohemian Rhapsody in 1975 was considered pretty much the first to be used to commercially sell the record. As it was such a huge success (9 weeks at UK no.1 spot) it is remembered as 'the first' and made such an impact that other artists and bands began making videos and almost ten years after Bo Rhap, MTV was created.
@@grandtheftmanualv945 Pretty Woman is from 1964. But yes, there were a few, not many, music videos made before Bohemian Rhapsody. However this video took the art of music video making to a new level.
That is rock opera at it's finest. This was unconventional both musically and visually in 1975. It blew my 14 year old mind when I heard it the first time.
I remember the first time I heard this on the radio when I was a teenager. It filled my head in so many ways. All of my friends in school that day could not talk about anything else. They won our hearts from that day on. Please continue with your song voyage and always keep that open minded swagger young man. Be safe my friend. From Pennsylvania to you. God Bless.
Nice reaction. Queen is a British rock band, they are the 4th best selling artist of all time. You have heard some Queen songs, such as We Will Rock You or We Are The Champions. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the best selling songs of all time, it has 5 different sections and 49 different cords (most song today have 1 - 4 cords). This is also the first real music video. A "Bohemian" is a unique artist, a Rhapsody is an epic tale or life story. Lead singer Freddie Mercury is most often chosen as the best vocalist of all time. Bohemian Rhapsody is a rock opera it falls under the genre of Progressive Rock. It is a more complex genre of rock where artists add jazz and classical music to rock, it does have a lot of experimentation. The song goes through the 5 stages of grieve. The middle or operatic section is a trial for his soul between heaven and hell. The song is a journey it is like a tragic opera. Queen did any genre of music, that was available at the time. You should check out Another One Bites The Dust from Queen it is a very funky song, it is a song that is often sampled in hiphop.
Thanks for reacting to this song and video which has more than 1.3 Billion views on TH-cam. Queen are widely recognized as one of the top rock bands of all time and often as the greatest live rock band of all time. The band consists of Freddie Mercury, lead singer and piano, Brian May lead guitarist and vocals, Roger Taylor drummer and vocals, and John Deacon, bass guitar. Each of them are songwriters with hit songs and are all members are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Freddie is also known as one of, if not THE greatest rock frontman if all time, while Brian May has been recognized as one of the best rock guitarist of all time. Bohemian Rhapsody is considered to be one of the greatest rock songs of all times, included being listed as number 1 in some polls. The band began in 1971 and is celebrating 50 years this year. Queen has had numerous hit songs which i believe you will recognize -such as Another One Bites The Dust (official video), We Are The Champions and We Will Rock You, both live at Wembley 1986.
After you get your head around what you just experienced, the first ever rock opera, think about this. All of that came from the mind of Freddy Mercury, the composer, singer-opera style and rock, harmony section, piano player, and costume designer. All of these guys finished their uni degrees and have serious jobs too, the lead guitarist, Brian May, made his guitar from scratch, with help from his dad.
You know what I'd love to see - a double reaction. First, "Somebody to Love" by Queen studio version and then the live version from Montreal 1971. Please say you will! And yes, there are harmonies.
Please keep listening to Queen - you will find they do so many genres, and are endlessly experimental, and never boring with their music. You probably are familiar with some of their songs already - "We are the Champions" is one. All four band members wrote, so their music styles are always different from each other. Enjoy discovering Queen!
Queen to do list: Stone cold crazy -live at the rainbow You Take My Breath away live Hyde Park 1976 White Queen Live Hammersmith Killer Queen official video Don't Stop me now official video Somebody to love - Live Montreal Fat bottom Girls official video I want to break free official video Live Aid!!
It always blows my mind when someone says they are hearing it for the first time. This song is nearly 50 years old. Yup, I'm an old lady. Bohemia is ' the westernmost and largest historical region of the Czech lands in the present-day Czech Republic'. (Thank you Wiki) Don't know if Freddie picked it for a personal reason, or just because he liked how it sounded. Still one of my top 5 of all time. ~ Mrs H
Bohemian has more then one meaning, a "Bohemian" is an artists, someone who does not follow the usual rules of society, like a hippy for example. A Rhapsody is an epic tale or story or poem about someone's life. Or is is movement in classical music. The title actually says that it is the life story or tale about an artist. But I think Freddie is referring more to an entertainer in this case.
I'm a senior citizen now. We seniors were truly blessed to have been experienced great music of the 60's, 70's and into the 80's. No computers, auto tune, ear phones. The music was live as they played it. But the top of the list is Queen. All four band members were master class musicians. And as the Gods would have it, they somehow were put together to make phenomenal amazing music. And Freddie Mercury was sent from the heavens to gift us with his incredible voice. Magic happened on the stages that Queen graced.
Queen were fantastic but when talking about the best and Queen's great 20 songs we all take it for granted that the biggest selling singles and album group of all time that not only changed the face of music but the face of the World with their 230 songs were The Beatles so we "Bet Without The Beatles" lol

Bohemian: socially unconventional in an artistic way. Rhapsody: in music is a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, color, and tonality. An air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation make it freer in form than a set of variations. That is what the title means. After that, nobody actually knows what the song means, Freddie Mercury never said, he left it up to the listener to draw their own conclusions. This song is iconic as is the band Queen. Freddie Mercury is a legend. Excellent reaction! Thank you.
Don’t take the words for meaning he literally killed a man. It’s about different things. Just experience the majestic beauty of Bohemian Rhapsody & enjoy the wonderful genius of Freddie Mercury & Queen, man😉
On anyone's first hearing, this was not their genre, because this didn't exist until this song. Usually estimated as the No. 1 best song ever - for more than 40 years.
Remember this was in 1975!! Back then, no autotune, no electronics, just plain talent and instrments... I saw them in concert twice and it sounded just loke this version if not better. True raw talent. One of the best bands ever. Freddy was a genius!!
Fun Facts - Queen is one of the best selling artists of all time. Each member of Queen are in the Song Writer’s Hall of Fame & Rock n Roll Hall of Fame on their own merits. Each member have written top hits & no other band can make that claim. Bohemian Rhapsody was certified Platinum sales status by the RIAA for the most streamed song in the 20th Century. Also, the first pre1990s song to reach over a billion views. This masterpiece was written by Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano) who is still considered the best vocalist in the world. Just Google it. Other band members are Brian May, Roger Taylor, & John Deacon. 👑
I bet you know many Queen's songs like WE WILL ROCK YOU, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, ANOTHER BITES THE DUST, I WANT IT ALL Next time watch Queen LIVE - that"s just a whole different level. Queen Under pressure live at Wembley 86, Fat bottomed girls live at Bowl 82, We will rock you live from Budapest 86, Somebody to love live Montreal 81.
Queen is my fav band since I first discovered them about 35 years ago. Queen is it's own genre! ^^+gg I don't know what genre you prefer, but Queen will deliver it at its best. You are more into hip hop for example? Check out "Queen feat. Wycleaf Jean" or "Under Pressure" < that's where Vanilla Ice stole his "Ice, Ice Baby"-tune from! Yes, he got sued for that! But they did Blues, Pop, Rock, Disco, Hymns, Metal, Classic mostly combinend ... and Freddie Solo did even an opera! A lot to discover left! :-)
Queen have songs that cover almost any kind of genre, both in their hits as well as their album tracks. Queen are also some of the greatest pop/rock musicians and among the most successful songwriters (yes, each band member is a no.1 hit writer individually) in popular music history. Lead singer Freddie Mercury is widely and often cited as the greatest front man (lead singer of a band) by people who are not even Queen fans and also widely regarded as the greatest rock singer having a huge range both in terms of pitch and also textures. Brian May, lead guitarist is widely regarded as the greatest guitarist of all time, and certainly in many top ten lists, and uses a guitar he and his father built from household junk in the 1960s! Bohemian Rhapsody is very 'out there' in comparison to most popular music, but don't let that fool you into thinking that is how Queen sound! Queen sound changes with every song, but you always know it's Queen.
Don’t you just love getting like three songs in one, including an operatic section of course! Queen is one of the most famous and gifted bands of all time!
This song is the most listened to of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love them as much as the greatest group of all time The Beatle next song to react to is s...you must watch this song live in Montreal 5 years later ...FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty darn good for something over 45 years old. It's from an album called "A night at the Opera" hence the operatic segments. Almost everyone in the UK can sing this word perfect as you'll see if you watch the Greenday concert audience at Hyde Park singing it - that's over 60,000 people
Bismillah= In the name of God (Arabic) Listen to the song a few times and maybe you will enjoy it a little more. All of them a extraordinary musicians! They all wrote hits for the band and they still perform (w/Adam Lambert standing in for the late Freddy Mercury). The guitarist is Brian May. He later completed his doctorate in astrophysics and is well respected in that field! Freddy (lead singer) unfortunately died young of AIDs. You need to watch them perform at the Live Aid concert in 1985... they stole the show! It really shows what an amazing presence Freddy was on stage!
'What's wrong with you, I don't know' Brilliant !. I enjoyed your interpretation of the song, keep in mind that it's a Rhapsody, a musical piece without repeating parts. And I have heard that it's Freddy's coming out song
I was a kid when this song first came out. It was a boundary-breaker: no other artist had ever put a song like this before. I was amazed at what you might call the three-act structure but didn't put it on my (audio cassette) playlist because it was something you experienced more than danced to throughout. As my appreciation for artistry and expression and cumulative life experiences have grown, the more I am in awe of their heaven-high talent and musicality.
Queen went WAY beyond Genre Ejay. They were so talented, so unique, and so eclectic, that they really were hard to classify. They truly were to Rock -Pop music what Mozart was to classical. They deserved and earned every letter in the word GENIUS. Every major artist of the past three to four decades wanted to collaborate with Queen, and many did . You should go listen to Michael Jackson and Queens collaborative song " There Must Be More To Life Than This" . Even Lady GaGa was a huge Queen Fan , and actually derived her name from one of their songs "Radio GaGa".
Hello EJAY, I have something a bit different for you to check out. But, Just as good and inspiring. " Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody [Live in Hyde Park 2017]" hope your enjoying your weekend,Take care.
I love these 'first time reactining to...' vids. Not to diminish their sincere responses, I think it's hilarious that many of these vids are shot in their bedrooms. Makes me think I should give it a try. Love your vid, keep it up!!
Bohemia is a country in Europe. We call it the Czech Republic now. In the 18th and 19th century it was famous for it's education and arts. Bohemian was sometimes used as an adjective meaning intellectual or artistic.
Great reaction 😂 your face said everything! You will love queen ❤the best bend. They wrote around 200 songs in 16 different genres. They won award for best rock band of all time high, Freddie won best frontman and vocalist of all the time react please to white queen hammersmith Odeon 1975❤
Adorable reaction LOL. There was a movie back in (2018-2019?) that won OSCARS, including best actor for Remi Malek for. best actor, called BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY! Go watch it!!!!! You will love the story and the music is beyond amazing. It is timeless and they are brilliant. They still do shows, even though the lead singer died in 91, but Adam Lambert fills leads now and he rocks it.
If you’re in the car with someone and they don’t sing along to this or at the very least have their head going kick them out immediately you don’t need that type of negativity in your life! Queen is best! Freddie Mercury was just out of this world so loved ♥️
A Rhapsody is a collection of connected but different musical themes. Bohemian in this context indicated something a little unconventional. Sums up the song very well
Little fun fact I learned today. Y’all may know already. Meaning of couple words in Queen Bohemian Rhapsody. Portion of song, We will not let you go: Opera portion, if you will. "Bismillah" is one of these and it literally means "In the name of Allah." The word "Scaramouch" means "A stock character that appears as a boastful coward." “Fandango, a popular dance. Almost clown dance. "Beelzebub" is one of the many names given to The Devil. Genius. Pure genius.
Bissmilah is Arabic for In the name of God muslims translate it as in the name Of Allah Allah is arabic for God but Muslim say Allah as the name of their God
I loved ur reaction and analysis of the song pls pls do Guns and Roses Paradise City and Welcome to the jungle next Slash is my favorite would love to watch u react if possible.❤
Just to help young generation listening to Queen for the first time love it. Queen is the band Lead Vocals Freddie Mercury, Lead Guitarist Brian May, Base Guitarist John Deacon, Drums Roger Taylor.
Good for you! I have been a Queen since I first heard them in the 70’s. Even so, I don’t expect everyone to love them. But I am baffled by your reaction cuz even tho you had a lot of facial expressions while you were listening to it, you didn’t have anything of substance to say about it, all in all, except that it wasn’t your genre of music. You had to have known that going in; otherwise you probably would have heard Bohemian Rhapsody before…. considering it’s been out for 45+ years now and literally billions of people have heard it. Not being overly impressed by either Freddie’s voice or the song itself puts you in in a comparatively small club, but respect to you for giving an honest reaction! It might be worth your time to listen to more Queen music. You’d find that you actually are familiar with some Queen songs (even tho you don’t realize it) and that there is a lot more to Queen than what you hear in Bohemian Rhapsody. I don’t know what your genre of music is, but whatever it is, if it’s one that became popular from 1980 forward, then Queen and other music performers of that high caliber and with that huge of an influence on the art world actually paved the way and made room for your music genre to exist.
This was before auto tune, this was one of the first videos before MTV existed....a lot of musicians and bands were inspired by Queen
The truth is that 'music videos' have been made for a very long time (Oh, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison has a non-performance based video made in 1958), but the video for Bohemian Rhapsody in 1975 was considered pretty much the first to be used to commercially sell the record.

They won our hearts from that day on. Please continue with your song voyage and always keep that open minded swagger young man. Be safe my friend. From Pennsylvania to you. God Bless.
the intro is just Freddie multitracking to harmonise with himself
Best song of all time. Listen again and look up Queen for all the music. There isn’t a genre they don’t do, they do it all!
It absolutely makes my heart fill with joy seeing a person discover and enjoy something you've been loving for years
Hahaha! That was one of my favorite reactions ever, because of your facial expressions. Priceless.

@@christinemclellan420 it's called Red Special :-)
Bohemian rhapsody is one of Freddies off their 1975 album night at the opera
Uk no 1 for 9 weeks
This is a master piece that came from beloved Freddie's mind
You know what I'd love to see - a double reaction. First, "Somebody to Love" by Queen studio version and then the live version from Montreal 1971. Please say you will!
And yes, there are harmonies.
I second that motion...
I third that motion!! 👍
yes!!
Siiiiiii!!!!

Rhapsody means a musical style that calls for multiple styles knitted together.... The story is usually intricate and wandering.
Queen to do list:
Stone cold crazy -live at the rainbow
You Take My Breath away live Hyde Park 1976
White Queen Live Hammersmith
Killer Queen official video
Don't Stop me now official video
Somebody to love - Live Montreal
Fat bottom Girls official video

Live Aid!!
YESSSS - Great list of songs!
It always blows my mind when someone says they are hearing it for the first time. This song is nearly 50 years old. Yup, I'm an old lady.

Bismillah, I believe.

Freddie was working on three different songs and had the inspiration to combine them into one song. It is sometimes referred to as "Rock Opera".
I'm a senior citizen now. We seniors were truly blessed to have been experienced great music of the 60's, 70's and into the 80's. No computers, auto tune, ear phones.

I agree

Queen Under pressure live at Wembley 86, Fat bottomed girls live at Bowl 82, We will rock you live from Budapest 86, Somebody to love live Montreal 81.
Great recommendations!!

but the heavy rock riff was composed by freddie on guitar
One of the best songs EVER!!!
This is one of the best pieces of music of all time!! Great reaction though, you need to react to more Queen! Live Aid 1985 please!

It's a rock opera! It has 3 parts telling a story! Wonderful! Freddie liked opera and this was his vision!! 😍
He had One Vision 😏
You will find if you listen to Queen thT they do EVERY genre. Give them a couple more go round. You will not be disappointed!
I love these 'first time reactining to...' vids. Not to diminish their sincere responses, I think it's hilarious that many of these vids are shot in their bedrooms. Makes me think I should give it a try. Love your vid, keep it up!!
Your energy is great!
Freddie MERCURY had one of the MOST AMAZING VOICES EVERY!
Step into the Queen rabbit hole....you will not be disappointed
The Queen rabbit hole.
Great song, so many memories. Such a great group!!!!!!
enjoyed watching you...keep listening to it...it grows on you. I grew up on it, but didn't fully enjoy it until my 30s
Fue elegida la mejor canción del siglo y con mucha razón!!!
You should look up the video of the whole concert audience singing Bohemian Rhapsody at a Green Day Concert. Its fire
Bohemia is a country in Europe. We call it the Czech Republic now. In the 18th and 19th century it was famous for it's education and arts. Bohemian was sometimes used as an adjective meaning intellectual or artistic.
Great reaction 😂 your face said everything! You will love queen ❤the best bend.
They wrote around 200 songs in 16 different genres. They won award for best rock band of all time high, Freddie won best frontman and vocalist of all the time react please to white queen hammersmith Odeon 1975❤
Please try Stone Cold Crazy at the Rainbow or Dragon Attack in Montreal, you’ll get a little taste of how versatile Queen is.
U do that right eye closure that I always do when something is so great. I do try to hit the notes too. ❤️🤘
Adorable reaction LOL. There was a movie back in (2018-2019?) that won OSCARS, including best actor for Remi Malek for. best actor, called BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY! Go watch it!!!!! You will love the story and the music is beyond amazing. It is timeless and they are brilliant. They still do shows, even though the lead singer died in 91, but Adam Lambert fills leads now and he rocks it.
Love Queen. This is the first song I ever heard by them
If you’re in the car with someone and they don’t sing along to this or at the very least have their head going kick them out immediately you don’t need that type of negativity in your life! Queen is best! Freddie Mercury was just out of this world so loved ♥️
Músicos reales, música real, talento real.
GNR November rain that’s the only one I want love the bid the sus guy gets me every time
More from Queen:
Innuendo
The Show Must Go On (Freddie did this on ONE take)
Scandal
Under Pressure (Live at Wembley)
Bohemian Rhapsody was released on October 30, 1975.
It is the #2 song of ALL-TIME on FM Radio.
Now that you've heard the original (which is amazing), you MUST, MUST, MUST react to the Pentatonix cover!!
You should check out the cover of this by Pentatonix. Brian May of Queen was very impressed and happy with their version.
A Rhapsody is a collection of connected but different musical themes. Bohemian in this context indicated something a little unconventional. Sums up the song very well
Under Pressure and Another one bites the dust etc…QUEEN
Great honest review!
Thanks for this reaction.
Listen to, Find Me Some Body to Love, livevat Montreal
I enjoyed the honesty. Stay real to you and your fans will always follow you.
El guitarrista tocó siempre con la misma moneda, modifico una moneda para tocar con ella y también hizo el mismo su guitarra con muebles de su casa.
I OVE THE EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER THE SONG PUT YOU THROUGH
it´s generally considered the greatest song of the 20th century.
Queen is the bands name..the great Freddy Mercury..is the lead singer..
Freddy was Indian Parsee by race and birth . He was born a performer a phenomenal one too.
Little fun fact I learned today. Y’all may know already. Meaning of couple words in Queen Bohemian Rhapsody. Portion of song, We will not let you go: Opera portion, if you will.
"Bismillah" is one of these and it literally means "In the name of Allah." The word "Scaramouch" means "A stock character that appears as a boastful coward." “Fandango, a popular dance. Almost clown dance. "Beelzebub" is one of the many names given to The Devil.
Genius. Pure genius.
Meatloaf, Paradise by the dashboard light. Van Halen, Jump. Any Elvis
Masterpiece!
This song was about Freddy coming out. The put a gun against his was him killing the old freddy.
another amazing british band
Bissmilah is Arabic for
In the name of God
muslims translate it as in the name Of Allah
Allah is arabic for God but Muslim say Allah as the name of their God
Great information, thanks!

please it is a good history lesson about the great depression
Good for you! I have been a Queen since I first heard them in the 70’s. Even so, I don’t expect everyone to love them. But I am baffled by your reaction cuz even tho you had a lot of facial expressions while you were listening to it, you didn’t have anything of substance to say about it, all in all, except that it wasn’t your genre of music. You had to have known that going in; otherwise you probably would have heard Bohemian Rhapsody before…. considering it’s been out for 45+ years now and literally billions of people have heard it. Not being overly impressed by either Freddie’s voice or the song itself puts you in in a comparatively small club, but respect to you for giving an honest reaction! It might be worth your time to listen to more Queen music. You’d find that you actually are familiar with some Queen songs (even tho you don’t realize it) and that there is a lot more to Queen than what you hear in Bohemian Rhapsody. I don’t know what your genre of music is, but whatever it is, if it’s one that became popular from 1980 forward, then Queen and other music performers of that high caliber and with that huge of an influence on the art world actually paved the way and made room for your music genre to exist.
Listen to Live Aid! Freddie best frontman ever! They were way before their time!
Please do Queen. Dragon attack And now I’m here
