Not all of Queen's music is like this. They were a band that was all over the place. Their music was VERY diversified. You have to listen to at least 10 of their songs to get a good idea of how differenty they were and how different their songs were.
Start with Boheimian Rhapsody from their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song and album is rock opera.
At least TEN different songs… EXCELLENT advice!
Got it!!
Absolutely. You can never put Queen in a genre box. Queen's genre is Queen.
Greatest band in on the planet. Four Beautiful souls that were destined from the time they were born .
queen is awesome... been listening a long time... but where did this song come from? start with their greatest hits albums
Even if you think you`ve never heard Queen, you HAVE. There`s no way you have never heard We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions or Another One Bites the Dust. These songs are EVERYWHERE.
A lot of people do not know where those songs come from. They are classic Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most popular songs of all time 👍
Actually it’s the most streamed song of the 20 th century !
I think it is almost close to 2 BILLION views... 1.9
Freddie Mercury (RIP) vocals, Dr. Brian May (astrophysicist) on guitar, John Deacon on bass, and Roger Taylor on drums.
You didn't mention John Deacon was an electrical engineer and inventor and Roger Taylor had a degree in biology.
@@susieq9801 Now I understand a lot of things... man they have knowledge!
Thats Sir Bri PhD now ;)
@@davidmacfarlane1763I was going to say that. I love this song. It’s my favourite. Love when the lights come on & then when Roger does that drum piece. Don’t know what it’s called.
That's SIR Dr. Brian May... lol. Frickin' legend.
You need to watch the official video of Bohemian Rhapsody and the live version of Somebody to love from Montreal in 1981. This song was also rated the happiest song of all time❤😂
Don't forget about Queens Live Aid performance once he gets more familiar with the band. It's still considered the best live performance ever given.
@@CelestialKitsune13 I could never forget the best 20 minutes of music. Period. I just think he should see a couple more songs and then get into it♥️
About the lead guitarist, Brian May. Sir Brian May. Dr. Sir Brian May. He's been knighted, he has a doctorate in astrophysics (yes, he's an ACTUAL rocket scientist), and the guitar he's playing was made by Brian and his Dad when he was a teenager.
And Queen's music is incredibly diverse.
glad to see a young man discovering the music my generation grew up with! you need to check out Somebody To Love live in Montreal 1981.
I second this!
Very true, but my goodness he’s making me feel old! To think it’s now over 32 years since we lost Freddie… 😢
Definitely
Definitely check out Somebody To Love live in Montreal! It is amazing ❤
in this case, ecstacy the drug wasn't really a thing yet. they're talking about ecstacy as in joy!
Yes it was a big thing then .it was my generation .
Not necessarily. This is about Freddie living the rock star life - sex, drugs (not ecstasy, likely coke) etc. Luckily he never overdid the drugs so it didn't become a problem for him or the band. The party phase did concern the other band members, who did not partake at the same level.
Honey , I happen to be from that generation and yes we used Ecstasy back then.
@@JanS1 Yes we most certainly did use ecstasy back then
@@JanS1 you really don’t have a clue . Yes Freddie loved his Stoli vodka, Ecstasy and Coke.
Yes the other boys did partake .
Where do you get your information ? Some people happen to have been there.
Scientists studied this song came to the conclusion it is the happiest song.
I thought it was Mr Blue Sky by ELO. 🤔
@@79BlackRose It probably depends on who does the research 😄. In 2019/2020 a list came out supposedly by a neurological research which ranked Don’t Stop Me Now as #1, but I also read another one that mentioned Blue Sky later on. 🤷♀️
Possibly the best male vocalist ever! I think if you lived another 500 years no one will be able to come close!
I prefer Ian Gillan
ecstasy wasn't invented yet when this song came out. Definitely was about sex and having fun.
Ecstasy was invented in 1912 by a German pharmacist. But yes you’re right about the fact that they mean ecstasy as in feeling good
Ecstasy was invented, it just wasn’t as wide spread as in the 90’s
and it wasn’t known by the name ecstasy, it was known by its chemical name, it had a brief medical history prescribed as a appetite suppressant, look it up.
Freddie Mercury lead vocals and piano.. Brian May guitar Roger Taylor on drums and John Deacon on bass❤
The only band where each member wrote at least one hit song. In Rio this band played to over 350,000 people. All 4 were highly educated and all were masters of their own instruments. They played many styles, jazz (Dreamers ball), blues (Melancholy blues), R&R (Breakthru), heavy metal (Liar, Hammer to fall, Dragon attack), gospel (Let me live), folk ('39), waltz (Millionaire Waltz), vaudeville (Seaside Rendezvous), ballads (Love of my life), movie themes (from the "Highlander"), disco (Another one bites the dust, Cool cat), anthems (We are the champions, We will rock you), even operatic styles (Bohemian Rhapsody). At the Live Aid show in 1975 they stole the show from acts like Elton John, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Phil Collins and tons of big acts.
Live Aid was 1985 .......?!?
@@samloveslfc July 13, 1985
@@samloveslfc - Yes, typo. Sorry.
@@susieq9801 Thought so, you're usually so on point with your posts about Queen. No probs 👍
Don't forget 'Barcelona' Freddie Mercury with Montserrat Caballe , two magnificent singers together.
Nice reaction! I would suggest "Love Of My Life" from Wembley 1986, "Somebody To Love" from Montreal 1981, and "White Queen" from the Odeon Hammersmith (1975 I believe) as good places to start. You cannot fit Queen into a box - they were amazing and diverse in their music. Each member of the band wrote songs and all of them wrote #1 hits (the only band to accomplish this, I believe). How good were they? They belong on the Mount Rushmore of bands imo!
Queen was an unbelievable band each member could sing and they were masters at there craft. Queen was the greatest band of all time. And what to say about Freddie there will never be another Freddie his vocals , stage present are unmatched he was one of a kind they were so ahead of there time in so many aspects. There music is timeless and will live forever!. React to queen at live aid 20min set which was the greatest set in rock history the stole the show at live aid. Queens catalog is huge and you are just getting started. Keep going down the queen rabbit hole you will be shocked at how many rock changing hits they created.
R.I.P FREDDY WE MISS YOU.
WE HEAR YOU SINGING FROM HEAVEN
John Deacon couldn't sing. He was miming on videos like this one.
I totaly agree! They have lots of albums and there is not one song who is just a filler. Each song is worth to listen! There is barley any other band who has this quality!
..of course everyone needs to see the EPIC Live Aid 1985!!
Brian May on guitar. Roger Taylor on drums and is also background singer. John Deacon (Deaky) on Base
@@4721lynnRoger Taylor sings backing vocals and sometimes lead vocals. Brian May also sings backing vocals and sometimes lead vocals. John Deacon on Bass.
White Queen …dragon attack….bohemian rhapsody….all amazing always listen to queen live if you can!! I’m an old lady now but loved Queen all my life!! You will never be disappointed so good to see you youngsters appreciating great music!! Can’t wait to see your reactions?🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧🇬🇧

@@AntonioColombo-om9gb thank you
Love Queen forever! Please check out their set from Live Aid concert from 1985. Best live performance ever! ☮️❤️😎
Best front man of all time..With Mick Jagger coming second@ 80 yrs old!
The guy on the guitar is sir Brian may. Yes he is knighted. He is an astrophysicist today. If you watch science shows he is one of the guys presenting. Imagine the talent of this guy
He also invented a low tech device for viewing 3D photos and has released a few books of 3D photos. He is an amazing man.
He was a PhD student in the early 1970s but abandoned his studies in 1974 when Queen became internationally successful. He resumed his studies in 2006 and completed his thesis in 2007, 37 years after he had started it (fortunately nobody had much studied that area in the intervening time, and it had become popular again in the 2000s!).
Scientists analyzed the music and the lyrics and declared it as the happiest song. No one can just sit and listen to it without a single smile. Yes, Freddie Mercury shouted out, that his life was wonderful, though he often felt himself very lonely. But when this feeling came in, he called up some friends and went to the bars and enjoyed the night life.
It is a song about hedonism. It doesn't make me smile, although I like the song.
We will rock you
We are the champions
Youve heard them..❤❤
So many great Queen songs! Some suggestions, Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Fat Bottom Girls and Bicycle Race and just a few. Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie is an amazing song too, definitely check that one out!
Can't forget We Are The Champions, and We Will Rock You!
Queen in my opinion is in the top 2. Bands of all time behind the Beatles but I like queen better that is what I believe 👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇲
Some of their songs were anthems now and played on stadiums like "We are the Champions", "We Will Rock You", and "Another One Bites the Dust" but their most popular is "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Never done drugs myself, but I'm not sure ecstasy was around then. He's singing about a feeling of euphoria
Just found your channel
60yr old grandad here it's a joy to watch younger generation appreciate older music
But it works both ways. Thank you for introducing me to Conan Gray kinda like Billie Eilish
100% agree with comments in Pink Floyd videos. Your ability to get the meaning of song is impressive.
So subscribed to follow you on your musical journey.
Your channel will definitely grow keep it up.
Where have I been for 32 years - but now I'm here - Freedie we love you more every day!
Plenty more queen to blow you away…very exciting!!🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧🇬🇧
I grew up in the days when Queen were performing, but I never listened to much rock music Then in 2020 during Covid, I started watching TH-cam a lot and discovered live Queen performances. The energy of this group, and lead singer Freddie Mercury in particular, helped keep my spirits up through the worst of the Covid lockdown. Freddie gives out more energy in a 50-year old, low quality video than any of the current pop stars in super HD.
The best band ever,❤ Queen
Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, Piano), Brian May (Lead guitar, keyboard), John Deacon (Bass, Double Bass) 6:43 , Roger Taylor (Drums). They all write,they have all written no.1's. They are 100% the best in the business. You need to listen to different songs to get a handle on how good they were. A starter kit to do that would be:- Bohemian Rhapsody, Another one bites the dust, We will rock you, Somebody to love, Crazy little thing called love, You're my best friend,Under Pressure,Gimme the prize, Princes of the Universe,Pain is so close to pleasure, A Kind of Magic,I want it all, Breakthru,Headlong, Innuendo, Show must go on, Mother Love. There most known hits are Bohemian Rhapsody,We will rock you,We are the Champions, Don't stop me now. All of their albums are amazing. Very diverse but always have that Queen sound. Freddie Mercury is the best Vocalist of all time.
Queen was my first concert! So many great songs! Another One Bites The Dust, Radio Gaga, Killer Queen, Somebody To Love, Keep Yourself Alive.
You've heard their songs, you just didn't know it. We Will Rock You, We are the Champions, Another One Bites The Dust, probably heard them at sporting events.😊
Queen...Somebody to Love....
official video
Freddie is making reference to happiness and joy.....not a drug 😮
I saw them in 86 and they TOTALLY brought it.
Thanks for the reaction. My fav is Somebody to Love. Montreal concert.
Queen never sang about drugs. He was talking about the good time he was having in Life. Queen's songs are stories.
Another great awesome group to checkout are The BeeGees . My fave was " Too Much Heaven". Other songs by them: I started a joke, Massachusetts, for whom the bells toll, night fever, words, Fannie be tender with your love, and many more.
This is the song that made me fall in love with Freddie Mercury and queen and they have been my favorite band ever since
Best feeling song ever!
You'll be surprised with all their other songs too!! Just incredible. It was great when Freddie (lead singer/pianist/guitarist, you name it! Queen had a BRILLIANT video in 1985 at Wembly Stadium, lots of songs, just EXCELLENT. It's just so sad he died so young, 45 yrs old. This was due to aids & bronchial pneumonia. Very very sad. Just excellent - RIP Freddie 💔💔
My first concert as a kid! Queen was amazing! Got a Freddie poster right here on the wall. He was the best front man ever!
Thanks, Dreezy.. such a fun song.. I'm sure you know many Queen songs, perhaps knowing that they are by Queen.. I appreciate your reaction.. and look forward to more..
Radio Ga Ga live, to see how the audience clap along, is iconic
Queen are the GOAT 👑
Queen songs: bohemian rhapsody ,somebody to love, we are the champions, Another One Bites The Dust, just to name a few.
Freddy Mercury (RIP), is one of the Greatest Frontman of all time. Up with James Brown, M.J., Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Janis Joplin, , SRV, Bradley Nowell(Sublime), Kurt Cobain, Ren, Zach De La Rocha(Rage Against The Machine), James Hetfield(Metallica)….ect.!!!
What a banger 🔥🔥🔥
Another great reaction! Check out under pressure or bohemian Rhapsody. They actually Collab with David Bowie on a version of under pressure. I absolutely know you will LOVE that song 😊
Dr. Brian May (now SIR/Doctor Brian May. Knighted by King Charles in 2023): Lead guitar/back up vocals/piano sometimes. Dr of Astrophysics. Studied reflected light from interplanetary dust and the velocity of dust in the plane of the Solar System. Has worked with NASA. Made his guitar with his father when he was around 16/17. Was poor so used things around the house like a piece of a fireplace for the neck/mother’s buttons/knitting needle etc. It's called "The Red Special" Still plays it to this day. So yeah. That guitar you see is homemade!
Roger Taylor: Drums/Amazing back up vocals. Has a BS in biology. Still rocking with Brian to this day.
John Deacon: Bass guitar. Degree in Electronics. Inverter of the Deacy amp (which Brian uses to this day) Sadly John had a bit of a breakdown after Freddie's death and only performed with the rest of the band a 3 times after. He is, these days, only involved in the financial side through his attorney. He's been pretty much a recluse.
And of course Freddie: Degree in Graphic design. Google "best rock front man of all time" I can save you the trouble. Most places the #1 answer is Freddie.
Every member has written hit songs.
All but John had singing talent where they could have had their own bands and been a success. Put them all together and you have QUEEN! (also all but John have done solo albums)
Remember. NO auto tune. No tricks. Pure talent!
You can't put Queen in a box as far as genre. There is no box!
Only a recluse from the public eye. Stills goes out and does normal stuff, a friend spotted him eating in a local restaurant with his wife. He was never the party one.
Saying he's a recluse makes it sound like he stays at home all day.
I think you're really gonna love Queen. They are a great band, a really great band. You ll learn all about Freddie Mercury. The lead singer is simply on another level.
They are a massively famous UK band. Even though Freddie died in the 90s, the band goes on. American Idol 2nd place Adam Lambert, is a huge voice & talent. Queen asked him to join, and he didn't copy Freddie he became his own voice with the band. Enjoy! ❤
This was used in Shaun of The Dead if you ever saw it. HILARIOUS scene, the way they used the music.
The word "Ecstasy" is used for it's traditional definition - Supreme happiness.
For me, there are two quite incredible things about Queen: 1. Freddy Mercury's voice, 2. the fact that Brian May (lead guitarist) is actually an astrophysics. :)
(Btw. His version of "Too much love will kill you" is quite good, too: th-cam.com/video/rNa5kRX45tg/w-d-xo.html )
They never ever ever get old!!✌🏼❤
Death on 2 legs, liar, & a lot of their early stuff is heavier. No auto tune just real raw talent, good rabbit hole to go down.
If you listen to all their albums in order you won’t be dissapointed. You will like all the songs in all the albums! But definitely watch their live concerts, they are all wonderful musicians and Freddie was the best front man ever, hands down!
Queen are the rock gods ... u can`t image how many epic rock masterpieces they did. Freddy is iconic, for me the are on top of all others. because there songs are all masterpieces, there is Freddy with is performance and unique voice, there is Brian who play the guitar out of this world and there is roger on the drums but also a voice like a star on his on. but they don`t battle the play together, and the compositions of there songs are unique, it`s not rock music it`s art. it`s something which touches generations and nothing nearly to it was there before and after. For me they are the gods of rock. Unfortunally I´m to young to see them live. Freddy died much to young, imagine how much there would have been more if the band would be still in origin formation on tour. They are on the same step then the Stones, but if he would be alive they would be out of this universe
Queen. Freddie Mercury called it that because it was a very strong and regal name (they're British.) Their number one hit is Bohemian Rhapsody. They have songs that are everywhere. Soft, loud, big, and small. Great band. Ranks 30th in the top 100 bands of all time (I disagree, they should rank much higher.)
The song in general represents how he felt while performing.
Queen wasn’t known for doing drugs, but they were known for holding wild parties.
They were one of the most successful bands of the 70s and 80s, with a huge variety of music. You might want to check out Bohemian Rhapsody, Someone to Love, and Radio Gaa Gaa. I could list dozens more, but if you want another exhibit of how great a singer Freddie Mercury was, check out The Show Must Go On, which he sang when he was so sick he could barely stand. They were a band for more than 20 years with the same four members.
Love this song!!! Great reaction! Me encanta cuando escuchan Queen por primera vez
Other Queen Suggestions:
- Innuendo (a very deep song)
- Another one bites the dust (very rhythmic)
- Who wants to live forever/official video (a sad and beautiful song)
- Somebody to love /official video (amazing voices)
- I want it all (very strong)
- I want to break free
- We are the champions
- Save me
- A kind of magic
- You´re my best friend
- Its a hard life
- Live Aid 1985 full concert
¡Saludos, desde Argentina!
Considered to be the happiest song of all time ;) Not sure how you can really measure that, but I kind of agree. I always smile with this one. We are the champions is also considered the catchiest of all time.
Queen, one of UK most famous brands. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor, can be found in the hall of fame. Bohemiam Rhapsody their most famous and memorable song (also known as our National Anthem as more ppl know the words than our actual National Anthem). But who hasn't heard of Another One Bites the Dust, or We Are the Champions. Queen are known for many genres of music from opera to Rock welcome and join us in our magical journey of Queen x
Son xtasy hadn’t been invented yet. He literally meant just what he said don’t stop them now they are Freddie Mercury lead singer and piano degree in design, lead guitar and backing vocals Sir Dr. Brian May Astrophysicist; John Deacon on bass and backing vocals and electrical Engineer who designed and built all of the band’s amps; on drums and backing vocals is Sir Roger Taylor, also a fully trained dentist. BTW The guitar Sir Brian plays is the Red Special, built by he and his father back when he was 16 from junk laying around. He has since changed her name to the Old Lady and still plays it on occasion. My personal favorites are Bohemian Rhapsody, Want To Live Forever, Somebody to Love, Barcelona, The Great Pretender, Radio Gaga, Bicycle, Fat Bottomed Girls, and Show Must Go On. The drinks on top of the piano are Tea with lemon and honey for Freddie and water the other drinks are for Deacon and Brian.
Watch their performance from live aid 1986ish. It was a fantastic experience.
This is when Freddie came out and yes he loved ecstasy , it was one of his joys.
You have to watch Queen at Live Aid, Wembley. Arguably the greatest live performance you will ever see!
Man I grew up from age 9 on this song and I never thought once of stardom or drugs. It is just a feel good song that encasulates the essence of Queen. They essencialy are a feel good band. Radio Ga Ga, A kind of magic, Killer queen and Bicycle race. just feel good songs bro.
Brian May says the song is all about unfettered joy!
in a similar style to this is their song "good old fashioned lover boy" another banger! :) keep up the great work mate. big love to all people :)
All band members wrote songs. They all wrote hits. Brian & Roger could be lead singers & at times they did have their own bands where they sang lead. Unfortunately we lost Freddie to AIDS. Around that time John Deacon retired. Roger & Brian are still touring (they are in Japan right now). The just finished a North American tour. They would never be able to replace Freddie. Right now they are performing as Queen with Adam Lambert.
The guitarist Brian May made that red guitar with he father. It is priceless to him. Also, Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics.
Queen are still performing with Adam Lambert. Brian and Roger are still at the top their game and have just finished a sold out tour of North America and Japan. Check out some of their newer live performances as well as their older stuff. Still brilliant. If you feel like a ballad try Isle of white festival, Who Wants To Live Forever. I enjoyed post, looking for to more Queen. ❤
GOATS..legendary. Freddie was the greatest front men of all time. 🔥🔥
I am a huge Queen fan. You picked a good one.❤❤
It will be a real treat when you get to "Bohemian Rhapsody", i am a huge Queen fan since 1983.
This is my go to song when I need an attitude adjustment. I just love it. Thank you. There was no Ecstasy bacjk then
Keep enjoying, don't overthink the message, it is about having a good time.
welcome to the Queen rabbit hole 😁
This song has been scientifically proven to be the most positive uplifting song in history.
Bro, this all information are secrets and therefore hidden somewhere in the multiverse!
Kinda gotta hear a bunch of Queen songs to get them - they were very different in their songwriting.❤️🎥❤️definitely check out their bio- lead guitar Brian May is an astrophysicist. Genius level mixing on Bohemian Rhapsody- that’s Brian May…. all 4 men were genius level with music.🎼
Queen is number one lol and Freddie Mercury front man Brian May Lead Guitar John Deacy Bass and Roger Taylor Drums. Bohemian Rhapsody is their most famous and the first music video ever. Their live music is better than their studio recordings IMO and Live Aid is the best and considered the best live performance of all time. 1.5 billion people watched and that was 40% of the worlds population in 1985. There’s so much more to know. But also react to “Somebody to Love” live from Montreal 1981
If I remember correctly, their first album was a lot like hard rock. They made a lot of different genres.
Bohemian rhapsody, Innuendo, Who wants to live forever, Love of my life, I want to break free just to hear something in various styles... Freddy is a great voice!
I'm calling you out. You lied about hearing Queens music, you just don't know you lied. I know for a fact you have heard at least two of their songs, and sung along to tnem.
1) We Will Rock You - written by the lead guitarist and vocalist Sir Brian May PhD.
2) We Are The Champions - written by the lead singer and pianist Freddie Mercury.
Yes, those legendary anthems were written and performed by Queen!
Others you may have heard of are - I Want It All, Another One Bites Tne Dust ( written by the bassist John Deacon), Under Pressure, whose legendary bass line was stolen without permission by vanilla ice (he lost in court over it btw), Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
Also Lady Gaga named herself after the Quen song Radio Ga Ga - written by the drummer and vocalist Roger Taylor.
Queen is one of the most diverse groups musically, although predominantly a rock band, their music covers many genres. From hard Rock - Stone Cold Crazy, Dead On Time. To music hall (aka vaudeville) - Seaside Rendezvous. From Diss tracks - Death On Two Legs, Flick Of The Wrist. To Love songs - Love Of My Life, You Take My Breath Away, and everything in between. There was nothing the band couldn't play and Freddie couldn't sing.
As you can see above, they all wrote hit songs and as you will see, they are one of those rare bands that are even better live. Remember, their was no autotune back then, they got by on pure talent. They all played multiple instruments (I've only listed their main instruments above).
They were very prolific in their songwriting/albums, so you have hundreds of studio songs, plus live performances to choose from and asking a Queen fan to choose their favourite song is like asking the impossible, it depends on the day, mood you are in, they have a song for everything.
Welcome to the Queen rabbit hole my friend ....... have fun!
This song is quite literally about Freddie Mercury now becoming true to himself as a Gay man. He was living the life and living true to himself by this stage of his life. He really lived life to the full. I recommend you hear the next collection of Songs and then watch the Live Aid performance that play these songs live.
Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, Hammer to Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We will Rock You and We are the champions.
Watch the live aid set as it is only 20 mins long after you have watched these songs. Queen are considered the best live band ever and you will see why...
1985 LIVE AID QUEEN 1ST ACT ON .STOLE THE SHOW WORTH A WATCH 😍
Este tema te alegra la vida!
This was a hit at my high school disco.
Welcome to the '70's. Enjoy the ride.
You definitely have to go through their catalog, they are one of a kind band, led Zeppelin is by far my favorite, Queen was first rock band that actually had a Opera quality singer, and a genius guitar player. They are quite amazing. And by the way ecstasy was not a drug at this time.
i am almost 40 and i think my kids and younger people deserve better music. there have to be artists that can.
Buckle-up kid, and enjoy the ride. It's worth it.
The guitarist is Brian May. BTW - he has a PhD in astrophysics.
He’s not referring to the drug ecstasy. He’s talking about reaching the point of ecstasy as in pleasure or great joy.
Freddie was the best rock front man of all time. He sadly passed in 1991. Bohemian Rhapsody, you have to watch and live aid performance. Freddie, Brian, John, and Roger made up Queen. All of us who were around are lucky. I'm so glad you have found them. Hope you enjoy Queen.
High on life!
Someone else on here mentioned the Bee Gees yes you must check them out too "Too much heaven" for a start they have tons of songs to discover though.
