I watched a vocal coach react to Freddie's singing, and he pointed something out. He said that most singers, as you watch them, you will notice they pull the mic away from there mouth then come back in with it. This is a trick singers will do if they are not sure that they are going to hit the note on point, so they pull the mic out a bit to disguise it if they don't get it perfectly and then bring it back in when they have control of the note. Where Freddie was concerned, he not once did this, he always had that mic at his mouth for every note he sang, that's how confident he was, that he couldn't hit a bad note if he tried...lol
There are several interviews with Freddie. His voice is soothing, and his humor always comes through. The other band members are interesting to listen to as well. He had not been diagnosed yet, not for another year. Because his Dad was working for the British government, Freddie was born as a British citizen. His heritage is Persian (Iran today) but their religious group fled the Muslim country hundreds of years ago and settled in India. The teachings of the Zoroastrian religion is "Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds" I think Freddie lived up to that very successfully.
I agree. I love the Freddie interviews. He's funny and I love his voice. You can tell that he's not always enjoying them and generally didn't like giving them. The press was not very nice to Queen, especially Freddie. But he knew it was part of the business.
This is what separates Queen from the others. You go to a show. Whatever group you like. They are on stage, you are in the audience. They give you the best they can and you have a wonderful time, but the separation is always felt - you here, them there. Then you go to a Queen concert - there is no separation - Freddie hosts a party and invites 100,000 of his best friends - and you all PARTY together. That's the difference.
As you're finding, you can dip into any part of Wembley '86 and not be disappointed. Amazing music and Freddie's interaction with the crowd was great fun.
He was captivating, one of the most great singer of all time, legend And legends never die, they transformed in music and memories through music Thank you, we love him
Yes, they are from the UK, I suppose we Queen fans don't think to mention it because we think everybody knows it, lol. Keep on reacting, I just love your passion for music and Queen in particular. The comment where he says "we'll stay together 'til we f*cking well die" always gets to me and I choke up.
Can we give some LOVE to Deaky!!! Faith, If you haven't watched this entire concert, you should just make the time. I think you'll be so glad you did. Edit: They are from England. Freddie was born in Zanzibar and schooled in India from 7 or 8 years old until 17 when his family moved to London. Also...Thanks for your wonderful musings on life!!!!
Saw an interview the other day and Brian May was talking about the audience. He said they would sing their songs back to them so loud it would almost drown them out. They were very touched by it and back then the audience never did that. He said no one would sing led zeppelin at a concert just wasn’t done. That’s why they wanted the audience to participate and Brian then wrote We will Rock You
We all knew you would love the Wembley version. So good! Even better because of his little speech at the end. It always tugs on my heartstrings a bit because I'm sad he's not around anymore but happy that he, as you said, really did go out doing what he loved with the people he loved. Also, word to the wise: No One But You probably WILL make you cry. Everyone in the Queen Army understands why you'd put it off. It's beautiful but it's a rough watch & listen. Oh and yes, they're a UK band. Listen to some interviews and it slaps you in the face lol
He said we will stay together till we f***ing die, I'm sure of it. I've always felt Freddie was already aware of his health situation and played these final two Wembley concerts with everything he had, and then one last concert at Knebworth , he never performed live again. Those Wembley concerts were magical.
Yes, they are all Brits! I am glad you did both the studio version and the live. The studio versions are "perfect" but there is so much more to see in the live ones. Well done, thanks, and keep up the good work.
You have the best reactions, I love it....you get it!! You get why Queen fans love them so much and why we love Freddie so much!! Keep them coming....I love watching you reacting!!
Freddie was born Farouk Bulsara in Zanzibar. Can you believe that his parents sent him, by himself, on a ship to India to go to an all male boarding school where he would see his parents and sister once a year? How awful. He was nicknamed Freddie in school but didn't change his last name to Mercury until they formed Queen. It so suits him!!
I recently learned from an interview Brian did that Freddie changed his name to Mercury after he wrote My Fairy King. The line in that song about Mother Mercury, Brian says he was speaking of his own mother.
I could not have imagined getting on a big boat and being on that boat for 6 weeks at 8 or 9 years old and I think he only maybe got to see his parents a couple times in the nine years he was in boarding school. He had an aunt that lived right near him at school and he would visit with her a lot. His aunt is how he got his first grand piano and it was because he could play what he heard on the radio by ear on the piano. The aunt tells Daddy and then Daddy gets him piano lessons so he could learn how to read music. One of his college friends said that they had this really nice beautiful piano in their home, but when they lived in Zanzibar they were living well. Living in the UK cost of them a lot more and they didn't have any servants around the house or anything like that then. Jer, mom, always worked and it's weird because here in America I don't know very many women working in the 1940s 50s and 60s.
Both Queen and Led Zeppelin are from the UK. Freddie died just 5 short years after this concert! Freddie was born in Stone Town, Tanzania off the coast of Africa. He was raised in a very proper English Boarding School in India. Freddie was born to 2 lovely Parsi parents, but really, Freddie is a child of the world of music. If you want to Rock out big time, please react to Fat Bottomed Girls live at the Bowl!! Amazing show!!! Another great rock song, considered one of the first thrash metal songs recorded is Stone Cold Crazy, live at the Rainbow!! Great reaction! Thanks!
@@worldtraveler3773 Thank you! His parents were Parsi, and I don't even know why I wrote Indian, except I guess I was thinking of where his Boarding school was. I will change it right away. Thank you again!! I certainly appreciate you saying something!! If you hadn't, others could have been mislead! And his religion is such an interesting and lasting part of Freddie's choices, especially when it came to family!! Thank you!
And yes "No One But You" is a tough one, but so worth it, it's a beautiful song. Make sure you have tissues! It was the last time John Deacon played with the band, you could see the sadness in him in the video, I don't think he would have been able to sing if he wanted to. But Brian and Roger Graced us with their beautiful voices and made the vid very powerful and a wonderful tribute to Freddie.
And roger wrote “old friends” as a tribute as well. Fantastic song. It’s interesting to listen to both as roger & Brian has such differ styles. Both great, just different.
No, not gun control but it started out as a cowboy song..... Written by bass guitarist John Deacon (Queen's secret weapon songwriter), the song featured on the group's eighth studio album The Game (1980). Queen bassist John Deacon recalled that he’d written a “light-hearted” set of lyrics to go with his song “Another One Bites the Dust,” but had to change his approach after the band recorded the backing track. It appeared on their 1980 album The Game and became their second No. 1 hit in the U.S. and also spent more time in the Top Ten than any other single of that year. However, it went through some changes of direction first, as Deacon told Uncle Joe Benson on the Ultimate Classic Rock Nights radio show. “To ‘bite the dust’ is a cowboy phrase, and that’s all I had at first - just the line,” the John said “When we went in the studio I actually had a set of lyrics that nobody had ever seen. I hadn’t shown them to anybody, I was so embarrassed about them!” He recalled they were “all about cowboys,” adding: “there’s a little story, and at the end of each verse, another one bit the dust.” Things changed in the band’s recording studio in Munich, Germany. “We did the backing track and it was sort of a bit heavier, whereas the cowboy thing was a bit more light-hearted and humorous,” Deacon said. “So I decided to change the lyrics; I had to come up with three different verses for it.”
Queen was a British band started in 1970. Brian, John, and Roger were all from London but Freddie (whose birth name was Farrokh Bulsara) was born in Zanzibar to Parsi parents (his father worked for the British Mail in Zanzibar). Parsis are ethically Persians (Iranians) who fled Persian about 1000-yr-ago to India because of the Muslim invasion. Parsis adhere to the Zoroastrian religion (very conservative). Freddie was sent to a British boarding school In Bombay (Mumbai) India which explains why his accent if very proper British with just a small hint of an Indian accent.
They all attended universities in London but none of them is from London. Freddie we all know was born in Zanzibar, John is from Leicester, Brian from Hampton in Middlesex (Near London, but not in London) and Roger was born in Norfolk but grew up in Cornwall.
You gotta react to “One Vision” from this same concert. It was the opening number and the amount of energy generated from the moment they hit the stage is just incredibly unbelievable.
Well, it may be too bad we didn't see him in concert... on the other hand, I guarantee that you will *never* get tired of watching videos of Queen concerts. So if you open your heart, get some good speakers to hook into, *turn it up*, get up and dance... well, your mind/body/heart won't actually know the difference! Rock on! and many thanks!!!
Freddie was born in Zanzibar, Africa. His parents were both from India. He was sent to India to attend an English boarding school. then back to Zanzibar for high School. The family moved to the UK. Yes Queen is a UK band.
Omg his moves in this vid...😳🔥🔥🔥 wow he had a very flexsibel body. He had even try ballett. You must see at the Rose festival from Montreux -86/84 its in that direction......wooow I love that you shall have youre Queen-space free from outherthan the reall Queen....Thank so much ❤️ I have been a Queen-fan since -77....lol
If you could have seen my lower jaw hit the desk when you asked if they were from the U.K. Ummm, as you have probably heard from many others already....YES, they are from London. The name of the band is not because Freddie was a big ole Queen (which he readily admitted he was). The band was named (by Freddie) after Queen Elizabeth. They always ended their concerts with "God save the queen" playing as they took their bows. On another note, they are one of only a small handful of bands/groups that could consistently sellout large stadiums. It is very rare that a band comes along that can sellout a night or two at very large stadiums and Queen did it for just about every concert they played for the last 7 years of their touring before Freddie did not have the energy to tour anymore. As I said before, I was lucky enough to go to one of their concerts back in 1980 and I still remember like it was yesterday how Freddie commanded everyone's attention to be focused on him simply by his actions and amazing stage presence. You could literally not stop watching him the whole time he was on stage. I don't even remember watching any of the other band members. It was fortunate that the other 3 members of the band really did not crave the spotlight and therefore did not care that Freddie was getting all of the attention. He was a once in a 100 years entertainer. I am sure that eventually their will be another entertainer like him but probably not for a long time. Like I said, once in 100 years.
another song / vid that would make you cry is Love me like there's no tomorrow..sad but so beautiful..they're UK right...this song was their first hit on US charts...so legendary queen..can't get enough of them..ultimate band ever...each one of them is doing great every concert..tnx much..looking forward to hidden queen gems..
I added a comment when you did your official video of "Under Pressure" (not sure whether you've had chance to read) to say .........."Freddie Mercury (real name Farrokh Bulsara) was such a vulnerable character even though he had an amazing stage persona, he was such a beautiful man and had many many depths to him from a boy born in Zanzibar under the Zoroastrian faith (at that time Zanzibar came under the British Protectorate, (why he is English), and also his father Bomi worked for the British Civil Service), to then being sent on his OWN on a boat to St Peter's an English boarding school for boys in Bombay (now Mumbai) in India where he met his love for the piano (which he thought he was hopeless at playing - NOT) and set up his first band the Hectics, and then because of the Revolution he and his family fleeing to the UK when he was 16 years old, to then attending Ealing college (London) studying and getting a Art Graphic Degree, and also meeting Brian May and Roger Taylor at the college ............ a bit of history for you there got a bit carried away hahahaha". Hope this helps xx
Before I forget there are two tribute songs written for Freddie. The one that Brian wrote and performed with Roger and John called “No One But You (Only the Good Die Young)”. The other one was written by Roger which he did as a solo project called “Old Friend”. Both songs are a must do.
Both tear jerkers. Save those for much later, just enjoy the good vibes of these concerts for now. Once you hear the sad ones, they color how you interpret the early songs
Den Hum No One but You is incredible w/ the videos of Freddie woven in throughout. It is most definitely one you’ll need a box of tissues on standby. If it doesn’t bring a tear to your eyes, you either have no heart are aren’t a Queen fan 😉
Oh, and, I can't wait for you to do Love of My life at Wembley. Actually there is a twofer with Love of My life and Is this the World we created? from that same weekend.
You picked one of my favorite live performances. I forgot which live show but Freddie was singing something to the effect of “Bite the d%$k”. I understood his strange humor but was still a bit wide-eyed. 😂🤣
Freddie had a very posh accent, because he was in a public boarding school in India. Perhaps you should watch the Queen documentary Days Of Our Lives. You need to check out Dragon Attack live at the bowl Milton Keynes 1982, it is also a very funky song like Another One Bites The Dust.
If you listen to interviews, they all stated, one way or another, that there success was due to the fact that they were stronger together. They also shared a camaraderie and a sense a family born of their belief in themselves and the music they wanted to create. A couple of people have requested Now I’m Here from this show, which is excellent, but I’d suggest their performance from back in their earlier days. 1979 live at Hammersmith. They are so young and raw. It’s amazing to see & boy does Freddie have the audience in the palm of his hand. At one point he gives his mic to the audience and has a kind of tug of war with them before getting it back and going right back to singing...never missing a beat. It’s a much smaller venue & the stage almost seems too small for all of their energy. This is a good link, bc others have it split into 2 vids for some reason. This whole show is amazing as well. th-cam.com/video/pkkFKUmFJ70/w-d-xo.html
Oh yes I loved the link...I also love live at the Odeon 74 and 75...young Queen just starting. You can tell they improved the song in your link. ..but the early long haired Freddie has a place in my heart...all of them with long hair!
It's nothing to do with gun control. In the UK we don't really have an issue with guns apart from the odd nutcase every years or so. It's just a song written by John Deacon after he had been in the studio with his friends Nile Rodgers and Bernie Edwards while they were recording Good Times with Chic . Yes they are from the UK.
If you want to get more of an insight of the band members, and witnessing history in the making, you need to react to "One Vision Documentary" its filming the band making the song "One Vision" and its brilliant x
Yess! They were a British band indeed and in fact probably the only band or rock band, where all members had college degrees. Freddie had a Bachelors in graphic illustration and a diploma in graphic design, so he drew the beautiful Queen Crest emblem. Brian had a master's degree in working on his PhD and astrophysics when they were together and he only had that one paragraph to write and he just kept putting it off and putting it off. Rodger had a bachelor's degree in biology and study dentistry and then John Deacon had a bachelor's and then later on a masters in electronics and electronic engineering. They weren't very very diverse and different people for sure. Freddie Mercury was born on the island of Zanzibar or present-day Tanzania but his family came to the UK around 1964. Since he went to boarding school in India, Fred had been instructed on how to speak perfect English with the pronunciation and that's why he talks like he does. Amazing,!
Ha! I love this version. Not only the song, but the beginning makes me laugh when Roger starts without waiting for him and Freddie is like “what the hey?” And says “You called me out”. And the best is Roger’s smug little smile saying, “Yes, I did!”. Those two were always so funny and really played off each other. Brian was immersed in his music, Deaky in his own world, having a ball dancing around. But Roger and Freddie were hilarious how they messed around.
Yess, I'm excited to see your reaction to Somebody to love sang by George Michael at the tribute concert. Also a very very talented man, you would love him. Another recommendation from the tribute concert is Tie your mother down.
In 1980 the single “Another One Bites the Dust”, written by Bassist, John. The “B” side was “Dragon Attack”, written by Guitarist, Brian. Factoid: On the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the scene where Freddie wakes up and finds his “Boy Toy” sleeping, Freddie has a robe on and the back has a Dragon.
Queen live was epic. Period. Did not matter what concert or what year. They always brought their best. I would recommend songs but the list is too long. I found your page from a fellow Queen fan. Love watching people discover and appreciate Queen. I have a Queen channel as well if you are interested in some background on some of their songs. Cheers!
@@lasuna7792 Developed a rather large kidney stone that required surgery. Now the kidney has become infected. So been in some pain the last week. Hopefully be back soon.
@@Sneak65 I just went through something similar. I had a 1 cm kidney stone that caused a blockage and kidney infection. Kidney infections sure make you very sick. I felt awful. The whole process took about 5 weeks Anyway I'm doing much better and drinking lots of water. I hope you feel better soon. Look forward to seeing back on TH-cam.
Plenty of pain for sure. I am actually in the emergency room at this moment! Looking forward to this being behind me and life back to routine. Miss doing my videos. 🤗
I was 15 years old and went to both concert days, told my dad lies about staying with a friend for the weekend, then managed to sweet talk him to buy me a ticket for knebworth concert, not knowing at the time it would be the last time anyone saw them live again.
This was written by John Deacon and was related to the different girlfriends that they went through in trying to find true love as Queen members. When they would talk about their love lives and find that they lost a girlfriend they would say 'another one bites the dust'. This is related to losing girlfriends not 'gun control'. There's a line where Freddie relates to lost love by saying 'took me for all that he had' and 'kicked me out of my house'.
Led zeppelin is great. I was exposed to stairway to heaven at 12 bc I had an older brother. The difference between the two? Queen makes you happy. They lift you up. Even when they do a sad song, you don’t care bc the musicianship, and passion makes you smile through your tears.
Freddie was born in the British colony of Zanzibar off the coast of Africa. He was Persian. Moved to London with his family at the age of 16 due to civil war in Zanzibar. The rest of the group were from UK.
They stayed together even as Freddie was dying because he told them that’s what he wanted. They also used to keep their songwriting credits separate and argue over it but towards the end they combined them together because it was important to them all to be as one.
SPECIAL REQUEST: This is to help you get to know the band and discover another great song! They are British and Freddie is also Indian-Parsi as he immigrated from Zanzibar to England with his family when he was 18. You should react to the One Vision "making of" documentary (link below). It's a fascinating look into how they wrote and created a song together in the mid-80s! TIP: wear headphones bc the band members are actually very soft spoken and you'll want to hear what they're saying while working. Documentary: th-cam.com/video/ywATOmlX6n4/w-d-xo.html Then, watch the extended version of the actual song so you can see the final product and you get to see more behind the scenes clips which are always fun. Trust me, it's a really great experience to see how they collaborate, experiment, and fine tune every tiny detail. Extended song: th-cam.com/video/-OGd4gplxQM/w-d-xo.html
Freddie without knowing it was already in the full development of the disease. he made a huge physical and vocal effort. only in the last concerts of 1986 did he realize the problem, he could not sing as he wanted. it was incredible on stage and his voice was powerful yet he was sick. he is truly a legend!
I heard you say you spent time in Japan. Check out Teo Torriatte the Queen song they wrote where Freddie sings part of it entirely in Japanese. The crowd sings with him. They love Queen and have a national Queen day!
Yes, haunting what Freddie says. They are from the UK. So glad you will be doing Adam Lambert etc on another channel. Some people say that he has a great voice but to me he seems to have a voice for the theatre/stage musicals, that generic type of voice. I can’t listen to him. Freddie is unique, his voice is unique, melts your heart and gets you geared up at the same time. You should do One Vision at Wembley and also the making of One Vision to see them working together in the studio they have such fun ❤️ Freddie ❤️
They are indeed a British band. Freddie was born in Zanzibar but moved to India when he was 8 to go to school. His parents were from India. They moved to England when he was 18. This is one of my favorite luve performances. If you want to see them talk more and have fun you should check out the making of One Vision. th-cam.com/video/ywATOmlX6n4/w-d-xo.html It's fun and you'll see parts of when they wrote it, their creative process. You should probably check out the actual song first though. Adam Lambert is amazing but remember to not compare them. He's not trying to be Freddie or anything like that, because that's not possible ❤ He's doing his own thing and is a fan of Freddie himself, so he's paying tribute to him.
A documentary said John got the idea for the song after watching a movie about the St. Valentines Day Massacre. Yes, they are all British. Freddie was born in Zanzibar and went to a British style boarding school in India. He went back to Zanzibar after school and when the government was overthrown their family moved to England. Freddie was 17 I believe. He enrolled in graphic art College and started a second hand clothing store with Roger Taylor(drummer). You should watch Days of Our Live documentary on TH-cam with Brian and Roger. It gives the back history of how they got together and their journey. It’s very good. Thank you for not doing Adam Lambert on this channel. I can’t watch him singing Freddie’s songs. Queen isn’t Queen without Freddie (and John Deacon). John made that statement after Freddie died. He left after doing the tribute song Brian wrote for Freddie. No one can put the power and especially the emotion in the song’s they sing like Freddie.
A different take is that, without Adam, we wouldn't get the honor of seeing Brian and Roger on stage playing Queen songs for their fans, old and new, in 2020. No, Adam's not Freddie nor is he trying to be. He says that at every concert...that he's there to sing for Freddie as a fan, because we all love Freddie and want to celebrate his music. Otherwise, it may be that Roger and Brian would just sit down and retire like John.
Lala_Sparkles I respect what you said. I personally just can’t watch someone else sing his songs. Maybe because I was a fan in early 70’s and too old and set in my ways! Lol.
@@mmaloneym Oh, I understand. I've been a huge fan since '74 when Killer Queen hit the radio. I'm just glad to hear their music being appreciated live while we still have these two wonderful men willing to play for us.
Lala_Sparkles That’s exactly when I became a fan. I remember hearing Killer Queen on the radio and I was in awe of the harmonies and the cleaver lyrics. I bought the record and then the album and was obsessed with the group from that point on. I’m still in awe of Freddie’s vocals. The range, the power and the emotion he pours into every song!!
Hi no 1 just watching for your u tube numbers and a thumbs up said what I needed to yesterday on pins and needles waiting for your next reaction lol have a good day Ken D on the zeppelin comment before you make that statement wait until you get more led songs under your belt...just saying?
When I grow up, I want to do reactions with you... Take turns introducing each other to new stuff. I've been a musician for years, and I genuinely appreciate what you're doing here! Behold.... I'm going to hit the subscribe button! Looking forward to more....
Queen is better live than in studio. Only them, Beatles and Eagles were like that. Some others are good live, no doubt. But, Queen live is just on another level. I saw them live and everybody sang every single word the whole concert!
QUEEN was the same god given talent that only Elvis, Michael Jackson Eminem, berry white Al green Peabo Bryson and very few others have or had. Grand masters of there crafts OHHH AND THE LATE GREAT RAY CHARLES!!!!! That mans VOICE TRANSPORTS Me BEYOND SPACE AND TIME
I think you should react to Queen live aid side by side. So you can see the movie and the real live concert they did such an excellent job on choreographing and studying the exact movies that brought Freddie mercury back to life. lots of credit to rami male Queen is such a phenomenal band and iv been a Queen fan for a long time and, it makes me so happy so many ppl are now caught up in queen and Freddie mercury work. Thanks to you Earn a new subscriber much love
I prefer the studio version. It has a raw sound to it. Not only can you here John Deacons bass but you can also here him playing acoustic guitar as well. Brian May said that was one of the hardest things to play on stage. It wasn’t just Freddie that made Queen it was all four of them, Wembley is a football stadium in London.
I watched a vocal coach react to Freddie's singing, and he pointed something out. He said that most singers, as you watch them, you will notice they pull the mic away from there mouth then come back in with it. This is a trick singers will do if they are not sure that they are going to hit the note on point, so they pull the mic out a bit to disguise it if they don't get it perfectly and then bring it back in when they have control of the note. Where Freddie was concerned, he not once did this, he always had that mic at his mouth for every note he sang, that's how confident he was, that he couldn't hit a bad note if he tried...lol
There are several interviews with Freddie. His voice is soothing, and his humor always comes through. The other band members are interesting to listen to as well. He had not been diagnosed yet, not for another year. Because his Dad was working for the British government, Freddie was born as a British citizen. His heritage is Persian (Iran today) but their religious group fled the Muslim country hundreds of years ago and settled in India. The teachings of the Zoroastrian religion is "Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds" I think Freddie lived up to that very successfully.
Yes, I was just going to suggest perhaps reacting to a Freddie Mercury interview. He was endlessly fascinating and entertaining.
I agree. I love the Freddie interviews. He's funny and I love his voice. You can tell that he's not always enjoying them and generally didn't like giving them. The press was not very nice to Queen, especially Freddie. But he knew it was part of the business.
Check your facts...Freddie was born in Zanzibar...he was in boarding s hook in India from the age of 0f 7/8 until 16..then he went to London🤩
This is what separates Queen from the others. You go to a show. Whatever group you like. They are on stage, you are in the audience. They give you the best they can and you have a wonderful time, but the separation is always felt - you here, them there. Then you go to a Queen concert - there is no separation - Freddie hosts a party and invites 100,000 of his best friends - and you all PARTY together. That's the difference.
As you're finding, you can dip into any part of Wembley '86 and not be disappointed. Amazing music and Freddie's interaction with the crowd was great fun.
I was at this concert. It was and remains the best concert I have been too.
He was captivating, one of the most great singer of all time, legend
And legends never die, they transformed in music and memories through music
Thank you, we love him
Yes, they are from the UK, I suppose we Queen fans don't think to mention it because we think everybody knows it, lol. Keep on reacting, I just love your passion for music and Queen in particular. The comment where he says "we'll stay together 'til we f*cking well die" always gets to me and I choke up.
Can we give some LOVE to Deaky!!! Faith, If you haven't watched this entire concert, you should just make the time. I think you'll be so glad you did. Edit: They are from England. Freddie was born in Zanzibar and schooled in India from 7 or 8 years old until 17 when his family moved to London. Also...Thanks for your wonderful musings on life!!!!

Also, word to the wise: No One But You probably WILL make you cry. Everyone in the Queen Army understands why you'd put it off. It's beautiful but it's a rough watch & listen.
Oh and yes, they're a UK band. Listen to some interviews and it slaps you in the face lol
He said we will stay together till we f***ing die, I'm sure of it. I've always felt Freddie was already aware of his health situation and played these final two Wembley concerts with everything he had, and then one last concert at Knebworth , he never performed live again. Those Wembley concerts were magical.
Yes, from the UK
Pure Queen here - yes!! 💖
Yes, they are all Brits! I am glad you did both the studio version and the live. The studio versions are "perfect" but there is so much more to see in the live ones. Well done, thanks, and keep up the good work.
You have the best reactions, I love it....you get it!! You get why Queen fans love them so much and why we love Freddie so much!! Keep them coming....I love watching you reacting!!
I have to miss this. I'm out with friends but will watch as soon as I get home. Can't wait. Faith you are the best
Oh, and you still really must check out White Queen live at the Odeon, 1975. Amazing, trust me
Freddie was born Farouk Bulsara in Zanzibar. Can you believe that his parents sent him, by himself, on a ship to India to go to an all male boarding school where he would see his parents and sister once a year? How awful. He was nicknamed Freddie in school but didn't change his last name to Mercury until they formed Queen. It so suits him!!
I recently learned from an interview Brian did that Freddie changed his name to Mercury after he wrote My Fairy King. The line in that song about Mother Mercury, Brian says he was speaking of his own mother.
I could not have imagined getting on a big boat and being on that boat for 6 weeks at 8 or 9 years old and I think he only maybe got to see his parents a couple times in the nine years he was in boarding school. He had an aunt that lived right near him at school and he would visit with her a lot. His aunt is how he got his first grand piano and it was because he could play what he heard on the radio by ear on the piano. The aunt tells Daddy and then Daddy gets him piano lessons so he could learn how to read music.
One of his college friends said that they had this really nice beautiful piano in their home, but when they lived in Zanzibar they were living well. Living in the UK cost of them a lot more and they didn't have any servants around the house or anything like that then. Jer, mom, always worked and it's weird because here in America I don't know very many women working in the 1940s 50s and 60s.
it wasn't only male boarding school
it was for boys & girls
Both Queen and Led Zeppelin are from the UK. Freddie died just 5 short years after this concert! Freddie was born in Stone Town, Tanzania off the coast of Africa. He was raised in a very proper English Boarding School in India. Freddie was born to 2 lovely Parsi parents, but really, Freddie is a child of the world of music. If you want to Rock out big time, please react to Fat Bottomed Girls live at the Bowl!! Amazing show!!! Another great rock song, considered one of the first thrash metal songs recorded is Stone Cold Crazy, live at the Rainbow!! Great reaction! Thanks!
Freddie's parents were Persian, zoroastians-the ancient Persian religion th-cam.com/video/sLs2iW5bBoE/w-d-xo.html
@@worldtraveler3773 Thank you! His parents were Parsi, and I don't even know why I wrote Indian, except I guess I was thinking of where his Boarding school was. I will change it right away. Thank you again!! I certainly appreciate you saying something!! If you hadn't, others could have been mislead! And his religion is such an interesting and lasting part of Freddie's choices, especially when it came to family!! Thank you!
It's a kind of Magic or Now I'm here live at Wembley next, both very high energy. Also Save me or Dragon Attack from Montreal concert. All are great!
And yes "No One But You" is a tough one, but so worth it, it's a beautiful song. Make sure you have tissues! It was the last time John Deacon played with the band, you could see the sadness in him in the video, I don't think he would have been able to sing if he wanted to. But Brian and Roger Graced us with their beautiful voices and made the vid very powerful and a wonderful tribute to Freddie.
Oh it's a beautiful song❤❤
And roger wrote “old friends” as a tribute as well. Fantastic song. It’s interesting to listen to both as roger & Brian has such differ styles. Both great, just different.
Another great live Queen performance and a great reaction.
Can’t wait to see what you do next! Hoping for One Vision next. Studio and live at Wembley.
No, not gun control but it started out as a cowboy song.....
Written by bass guitarist John Deacon (Queen's secret weapon songwriter), the song featured on the group's eighth studio album The Game (1980).
Queen bassist John Deacon recalled that he’d written a “light-hearted” set of lyrics to go with his song “Another One Bites the Dust,” but had to change his approach after the band recorded the backing track.
It appeared on their 1980 album The Game and became their second No. 1 hit in the U.S. and also spent more time in the Top Ten than any other single of that year.
However, it went through some changes of direction first, as Deacon told Uncle Joe Benson on the Ultimate Classic Rock Nights radio show.
“To ‘bite the dust’ is a cowboy phrase, and that’s all I had at first - just the line,” the John said “When we went in the studio I actually had a set of lyrics that nobody had ever seen.
I hadn’t shown them to anybody, I was so embarrassed about them!”
He recalled they were “all about cowboys,” adding: “there’s a little story, and at the end of each verse, another one bit the dust.”
Things changed in the band’s recording studio in Munich, Germany.
“We did the backing track and it was sort of a bit heavier, whereas the cowboy thing was a bit more light-hearted and humorous,” Deacon said.
“So I decided to change the lyrics; I had to come up with three different verses for it.”
Oh please John...release those lyrics. PLEASE
Oh and yes they are from the UK but Freddie was born in Zanzibar, went to school in India, and then his family moved to London.
Not only are queen a British band
But in my mind there the best British band ever
And live no one could touch them
Queen was a British band started in 1970. Brian, John, and Roger were all from London but Freddie (whose birth name was Farrokh Bulsara) was born in Zanzibar to Parsi parents (his father worked for the British Mail in Zanzibar).
Parsis are ethically Persians (Iranians) who fled Persian about 1000-yr-ago to India because of the Muslim invasion. Parsis adhere to the Zoroastrian religion (very conservative). Freddie was sent to a British boarding school In Bombay (Mumbai) India which explains why his accent if very proper British with just a small hint of an Indian accent.
They all attended universities in London but none of them is from London. Freddie we all know was born in Zanzibar, John is from Leicester, Brian from Hampton in Middlesex (Near London, but not in London) and Roger was born in Norfolk but grew up in Cornwall.
John, Brian and Roger were born in England. Freddie was born in Zanzibar. Look him up on Wikipedia. Its quite interesting.
You gotta react to “One Vision” from this same concert. It was the opening number and the amount of energy generated from the moment they hit the stage is just incredibly unbelievable.
Well, it may be too bad we didn't see him in concert... on the other hand, I guarantee that you will *never* get tired of watching videos of Queen concerts. So if you open your heart, get some good speakers to hook into, *turn it up*, get up and dance... well, your mind/body/heart won't actually know the difference! Rock on! and many thanks!!!
Freddie was born in Zanzibar, Africa. His parents were both from India. He was sent to India to attend an English boarding school. then back to Zanzibar for high School. The family moved to the UK. Yes Queen is a UK band.
Omg his moves in this vid...😳🔥🔥🔥 wow he had a very flexsibel body. He had even try ballett. You must see at the Rose festival from Montreux -86/84 its in that direction......wooow I love that you shall have youre Queen-space free from outherthan the reall Queen....Thank so much ❤️ I have been a Queen-fan since -77....lol
If you could have seen my lower jaw hit the desk when you asked if they were from the U.K. Ummm, as you have probably heard from many others already....YES, they are from London. The name of the band is not because Freddie was a big ole Queen (which he readily admitted he was). The band was named (by Freddie) after Queen Elizabeth. They always ended their concerts with "God save the queen" playing as they took their bows. On another note, they are one of only a small handful of bands/groups that could consistently sellout large stadiums. It is very rare that a band comes along that can sellout a night or two at very large stadiums and Queen did it for just about every concert they played for the last 7 years of their touring before Freddie did not have the energy to tour anymore. As I said before, I was lucky enough to go to one of their concerts back in 1980 and I still remember like it was yesterday how Freddie commanded everyone's attention to be focused on him simply by his actions and amazing stage presence. You could literally not stop watching him the whole time he was on stage. I don't even remember watching any of the other band members. It was fortunate that the other 3 members of the band really did not crave the spotlight and therefore did not care that Freddie was getting all of the attention. He was a once in a 100 years entertainer. I am sure that eventually their will be another entertainer like him but probably not for a long time. Like I said, once in 100 years.
another song / vid that would make you cry is Love me like there's no tomorrow..sad but so beautiful..they're UK right...this song was their first hit on US charts...so legendary queen..can't get enough of them..ultimate band ever...each one of them is doing great every concert..tnx much..looking forward to hidden queen gems..
I added a comment when you did your official video of "Under Pressure" (not sure whether you've had chance to read) to say .........."Freddie Mercury (real name Farrokh Bulsara) was such a vulnerable character even though he had an amazing stage persona, he was such a beautiful man and had many many depths to him from a boy born in Zanzibar under the Zoroastrian faith (at that time Zanzibar came under the British Protectorate, (why he is English), and also his father Bomi worked for the British Civil Service), to then being sent on his OWN on a boat to St Peter's an English boarding school for boys in Bombay (now Mumbai) in India where he met his love for the piano (which he thought he was hopeless at playing - NOT) and set up his first band the Hectics, and then because of the Revolution he and his family fleeing to the UK when he was 16 years old, to then attending Ealing college (London) studying and getting a Art Graphic Degree, and also meeting Brian May and Roger Taylor at the college ............ a bit of history for you there got a bit carried away hahahaha". Hope this helps xx
Before I forget there are two tribute songs written for Freddie. The one that Brian wrote and performed with Roger and John called “No One But You (Only the Good Die Young)”. The other one was written by Roger which he did as a solo project called “Old Friend”. Both songs are a must do.
Both tear jerkers. Save those for much later, just enjoy the good vibes of these concerts for now. Once you hear the sad ones, they color how you interpret the early songs
Den Hum No One but You is incredible w/ the videos of Freddie woven in throughout. It is most definitely one you’ll need a box of tissues on standby. If it doesn’t bring a tear to your eyes, you either have no heart are aren’t a Queen fan 😉
Oh, and, I can't wait for you to do Love of My life at Wembley. Actually there is a twofer with Love of My life and Is this the World we created? from that same weekend.
Another John Deacon song....You're My Best Friend
You picked one of my favorite live performances. I forgot which live show but Freddie was singing something to the effect of “Bite the d%$k”. I understood his strange humor but was still a bit wide-eyed. 😂🤣
Freddie had a very posh accent, because he was in a public boarding school in India. Perhaps you should watch the Queen documentary Days Of Our Lives. You need to check out Dragon Attack live at the bowl Milton Keynes 1982, it is also a very funky song like Another One Bites The Dust.
Freddie was born in Zanzibar but yes they are from Great Britain
If you listen to interviews, they all stated, one way or another, that there success was due to the fact that they were stronger together. They also shared a camaraderie and a sense a family born of their belief in themselves and the music they wanted to create.
A couple of people have requested Now I’m Here from this show, which is excellent, but I’d suggest their performance from back in their earlier days. 1979 live at Hammersmith. They are so young and raw. It’s amazing to see & boy does Freddie have the audience in the palm of his hand. At one point he gives his mic to the audience and has a kind of tug of war with them before getting it back and going right back to singing...never missing a beat. It’s a much smaller venue & the stage almost seems too small for all of their energy.
This is a good link, bc others have it split into 2 vids for some reason. This whole show is amazing as well.
th-cam.com/video/pkkFKUmFJ70/w-d-xo.html
YES! Many ignore early glamorous Queen.
I absolutely love that song and I've seen it on TH-cam from a live performance and it was incredible!!
WOW! Just watched it and the power of Queen is practically visible. Great recommendation. TY!
Oh yes I loved the link...I also love live at the Odeon 74 and 75...young Queen just starting. You can tell they improved the song in your link. ..but the early long haired Freddie has a place in my heart...all of them with long hair!
One Vision is awesome too. Studio & At Wembley live.
And keep in mind during this tour he had a perssistent low grade cough. Undiagnosed HIV. Was diagnosed with AIDS a year later.
YES!!!!! THEY ARE A UK BAND!!!!!
Deacy's masterpiece. Couldn't sing but man could he write a song and play that bass.
It's nothing to do with gun control. In the UK we don't really have an issue with guns apart from the odd nutcase every years or so.
It's just a song written by John Deacon after he had been in the studio with his friends Nile Rodgers and Bernie Edwards while they were recording Good Times with Chic .
Yes they are from the UK.
Queen did a gun control song I cannot remember is name
There's dope, then freaking next level dope, then God, then there's Queen Darling!! 😘
If you want to get more of an insight of the band members, and witnessing history in the making, you need to react to "One Vision Documentary" its filming the band making the song "One Vision" and its brilliant x
Yess! They were a British band indeed and in fact probably the only band or rock band, where all members had college degrees. Freddie had a Bachelors in graphic illustration and a diploma in graphic design, so he drew the beautiful Queen Crest emblem.
Brian had a master's degree in working on his PhD and astrophysics when they were together and he only had that one paragraph to write and he just kept putting it off and putting it off.
Rodger had a bachelor's degree in biology and study dentistry and then John Deacon had a bachelor's and then later on a masters in electronics and electronic engineering. They weren't very very diverse and different people for sure.
Freddie Mercury was born on the island of Zanzibar or present-day Tanzania but his family came to the UK around 1964. Since he went to boarding school in India, Fred had been instructed on how to speak perfect English with the pronunciation and that's why he talks like he does. Amazing,!
This song was my friend’s Wedding Song and the Wedding ended with We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions.
All God’s People
th-cam.com/video/guPpf_gaESE/w-d-xo.html
Ha! I love this version. Not only the song, but the beginning makes me laugh when Roger starts without waiting for him and Freddie is like “what the hey?” And says “You called me out”. And the best is Roger’s smug little smile saying, “Yes, I did!”. Those two were always so funny and really played off each other. Brian was immersed in his music, Deaky in his own world, having a ball dancing around. But Roger and Freddie were hilarious how they messed around.
Yess, I'm excited to see your reaction to Somebody to love sang by George Michael at the tribute concert. Also a very very talented man, you would love him. Another recommendation from the tribute concert is Tie your mother down.
Led Zeppelin was one of the influences for Queen, in fact Queen were labelled as the next Led Zep during their early 70's phase.
London band.
Thank you ❤️
You can clearly feel my love and passion for music ❤️
Please do
White Queen live hammersmith 1975
You take my breath away live hyde park
This is my mom's favorite song...she's 72
In 1980 the single “Another One Bites the Dust”, written by Bassist, John. The “B” side was “Dragon Attack”, written by Guitarist, Brian.
Factoid: On the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the scene where Freddie wakes up and finds his “Boy Toy” sleeping, Freddie has a robe on and the back has a Dragon.
Queen live was epic. Period. Did not matter what concert or what year. They always brought their best. I would recommend songs but the list is too long. I found your page from a fellow Queen fan. Love watching people discover and appreciate Queen. I have a Queen channel as well if you are interested in some background on some of their songs. Cheers!
Hi. Where has you been? I hope you're ok. Sure are missing you.
@@lasuna7792 Developed a rather large kidney stone that required surgery. Now the kidney has become infected. So been in some pain the last week. Hopefully be back soon.
@@Sneak65 I just went through something similar. I had a 1 cm kidney stone that caused a blockage and kidney infection. Kidney infections sure make you very sick. I felt awful. The whole process took about 5 weeks Anyway I'm doing much better and drinking lots of water. I hope you feel better soon. Look forward to seeing back on TH-cam.
Plenty of pain for sure. I am actually in the emergency room at this moment! Looking forward to this being behind me and life back to routine. Miss doing my videos. 🤗
@@Sneak65 I understand.
Please do enjoy lots of other Queen songs before you go to "No-One But You (Only the Good Die Young)"..box of tissues needed for that one.
Thanks dear, more Queen please!❤ After his beer he sings Who wants to live forever......please react to it. They used it in the movie Highlander.
Ah, you picked the one where he is wearing clothes. They are both great.
@Julie Marino Yeah, I hope she reacts to that one too! :)
I love the one where he is shirtless, shoelss, and tighty whitey shorts 🤣😂🤣😂 yeah baby strut it!!!
yeah need to react to it...its a must...
agree...sooo sexy...sexiest front man...
😂
Thank you so much for the reaction 💜🙏
1985 I was a student in London when i went to see Live Aid and Queeen was the best act and stole the show.
I was 15 years old and went to both concert days, told my dad lies about staying with a friend for the weekend, then managed to sweet talk him to buy me a ticket for knebworth concert, not knowing at the time it would be the last time anyone saw them live again.
I love you reactions! You got yourself a new subscriber.
This was written by John Deacon and was related to the different girlfriends that they went through in trying to find true love as Queen members. When they would talk about their love lives and find that they lost a girlfriend they would say 'another one bites the dust'. This is related to losing girlfriends not 'gun control'. There's a line where Freddie relates to lost love by saying 'took me for all that he had' and 'kicked me out of my house'.
love watching your reaction, i was at the Wembley concert
Led zeppelin is great. I was exposed to stairway to heaven at 12 bc I had an older brother. The difference between the two? Queen makes you happy. They lift you up. Even when they do a sad song, you don’t care bc the musicianship, and passion makes you smile through your tears.
I too love Led Zep. But you describe the differences very well. Queen was more uplifting and far more diverse.
Darc Helmut- hey there, where have you been?
@@bettybaby63 Recovering from a surgery. Was rather unexpected and left me in a great deal of pain. Should be back in the next couple days. Hopefully.
Darc Helmut - oh sorry to hear that. Feel better, look forward to getting back into the swing of things.
Fact about Queen live at Wembley 1986 the band could be heard 3.5 miles away above the sound of London traffic
Queen died in 1991.
Freddie was born in the British colony of Zanzibar off the coast of Africa. He was Persian. Moved to London with his family at the age of 16 due to civil war in Zanzibar. The rest of the group were from UK.
They stayed together even as Freddie was dying because he told them that’s what he wanted. They also used to keep their songwriting credits separate and argue over it but towards the end they combined them together because it was important to them all to be as one.
White Queen Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975 PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!
SPECIAL REQUEST: This is to help you get to know the band and discover another great song! They are British and Freddie is also Indian-Parsi as he immigrated from Zanzibar to England with his family when he was 18.
You should react to the One Vision "making of" documentary (link below). It's a fascinating look into how they wrote and created a song together in the mid-80s! TIP: wear headphones bc the band members are actually very soft spoken and you'll want to hear what they're saying while working.
Documentary: th-cam.com/video/ywATOmlX6n4/w-d-xo.html
Then, watch the extended version of the actual song so you can see the final product and you get to see more behind the scenes clips which are always fun. Trust me, it's a really great experience to see how they collaborate, experiment, and fine tune every tiny detail.
Extended song: th-cam.com/video/-OGd4gplxQM/w-d-xo.html
Love your reactions and just wanted to suggest, 'You take my breath away' stay cool!!!!!
Freddie without knowing it was already in the full development of the disease. he made a huge physical and vocal effort. only in the last concerts of 1986 did he realize the problem, he could not sing as he wanted. it was incredible on stage and his voice was powerful yet he was sick. he is truly a legend!
Good morning my friend! Don’t feel stupid, Freddie was born in Zanzibar. He was born Farrokh Bulsara. His parents are both Persian.
I heard you say you spent time in Japan. Check out Teo Torriatte the Queen song they wrote where Freddie sings part of it entirely in Japanese. The crowd sings with him. They love Queen and have a national Queen day!
Yes, haunting what Freddie says. They are from the UK. So glad you will be doing Adam Lambert etc on another channel. Some people say that he has a great voice but to me he seems to have a voice for the theatre/stage musicals, that generic type of voice. I can’t listen to him. Freddie is unique, his voice is unique, melts your heart and gets you geared up at the same time. You should do One Vision at Wembley and also the making of One Vision to see them working together in the studio they have such fun ❤️ Freddie ❤️
I wish we could have these kind of music in 2020,
This never gets old
it will make you cry!!
They are indeed a British band. Freddie was born in Zanzibar but moved to India when he was 8 to go to school. His parents were from India. They moved to England when he was 18.
This is one of my favorite luve performances. If you want to see them talk more and have fun you should check out the making of One Vision. th-cam.com/video/ywATOmlX6n4/w-d-xo.html It's fun and you'll see parts of when they wrote it, their creative process. You should probably check out the actual song first though.
Adam Lambert is amazing but remember to not compare them. He's not trying to be Freddie or anything like that, because that's not possible ❤ He's doing his own thing and is a fan of Freddie himself, so he's paying tribute to him.
if you want to be moved... react to queen love of my life live
Freddie's parents were Persian, zoroastians th-cam.com/video/sLs2iW5bBoE/w-d-xo.html
Freddie Mercury loved his Heineken.
A documentary said John got the idea for the song after watching a movie about the St. Valentines Day Massacre.
Yes, they are all British. Freddie was born in Zanzibar and went to a British style boarding school in India. He went back to Zanzibar after school and when the government was overthrown their family moved to England. Freddie was 17 I believe. He enrolled in graphic art College and started a second hand clothing store with Roger Taylor(drummer). You should watch Days of Our Live documentary on TH-cam with Brian and Roger. It gives the back history of how they got together and their journey. It’s very good.
Thank you for not doing Adam Lambert on this channel. I can’t watch him singing Freddie’s songs. Queen isn’t Queen without Freddie (and John Deacon). John made that statement after Freddie died. He left after doing the tribute song Brian wrote for Freddie. No one can put the power and especially the emotion in the song’s they sing like Freddie.
A different take is that, without Adam, we wouldn't get the honor of seeing Brian and Roger on stage playing Queen songs for their fans, old and new, in 2020. No, Adam's not Freddie nor is he trying to be. He says that at every concert...that he's there to sing for Freddie as a fan, because we all love Freddie and want to celebrate his music. Otherwise, it may be that Roger and Brian would just sit down and retire like John.
Lala_Sparkles I respect what you said. I personally just can’t watch someone else sing his songs. Maybe because I was a fan in early 70’s and too old and set in my ways! Lol.
@@mmaloneym Oh, I understand. I've been a huge fan since '74 when Killer Queen hit the radio. I'm just glad to hear their music being appreciated live while we still have these two wonderful men willing to play for us.
Lala_Sparkles That’s exactly when I became a fan. I remember hearing Killer Queen on the radio and I was in awe of the harmonies and the cleaver lyrics. I bought the record and then the album and was obsessed with the group from that point on. I’m still in awe of Freddie’s vocals. The range, the power and the emotion he pours into every song!!
Hi no 1 just watching for your u tube numbers and a thumbs up said what I needed to yesterday on pins and needles waiting for your next reaction lol have a good day Ken D on the zeppelin comment before you make that statement wait until you get more led songs under your belt...just saying?
When I grow up, I want to do reactions with you... Take turns introducing each other to new stuff.
I've been a musician for years, and I genuinely appreciate what you're doing here!
Behold.... I'm going to hit the subscribe button!
Looking forward to more....
I believe this was originally about cowboys and had the working title "The Cowboy Song"
Queen is better live than in studio. Only them, Beatles and Eagles were like that. Some others are good live, no doubt. But, Queen live is just on another level. I saw them live and everybody sang every single word the whole concert!
QUEEN was the same god given talent that only Elvis, Michael Jackson Eminem, berry white Al green Peabo Bryson and very few others have or had. Grand masters of there crafts OHHH AND THE LATE GREAT RAY CHARLES!!!!! That mans VOICE TRANSPORTS Me BEYOND SPACE AND TIME
You should try ELO, Electric Light Orchestra
Yeah, it's great. Honestly, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd and Wings are my favorite bands.
One vision great song
From the heavens 👍👍❤️😇
Put Out The Fire is the song about gun control. It's on the Hot Space album.
I think you should react to Queen live aid side by side.
So you can see the movie and the real live concert they did such an excellent job on choreographing and studying the exact movies that brought Freddie mercury back to life. lots of credit to rami male
Queen is such a phenomenal band and iv been a Queen fan for a long time and, it makes me so happy so many ppl are now caught up in queen and Freddie mercury work. Thanks to you

much love
british band, freddie was born in zanzibar, real name farrokh bulzara !
Soz to make you jealous but I was at this gig and Freddie and the boys were awesome
I prefer the studio version. It has a raw sound to it. Not only can you here John Deacons bass but you can also here him playing acoustic guitar as well. Brian May said that was one of the hardest things to play on stage. It wasn’t just Freddie that made Queen it was all four of them, Wembley is a football stadium in London.
They sold out 2 nights in a row!! That’s about 144,000 people in 2 nights!🤯
