I can't imagine anyone taking on a queen song and making it different, while at the same time, maintaining the essence of the original....??? 100% nailed it...!!!!
Not to take away from the excellent cover by these two talented ladies, but if you want _more_ of "taking on a Queen song and making it different, while at the same time, maintaining the essence of the original..." I suggest you search for pianist Peter Bence's videos, as well as Peter Hollens's acapella covers, especially his Queen _medley_ (I know that doesn't sound like it would work, but trust me, it's amazing!). AFAIK it's just a coincidence that they're both named Peter.
It's not just your performances that always impress: transcribing a unique song like this for only 2 guitars and 2 voices and making it as enjoyable as the original takes quite some talent. Awesome job!
@@JS-lr8nj yeah, Rick beato keeps saying they are notorious blockers......... but not very dilligent ones as there zillions of people covering their stuff on TH-cam.
Two years old, but first time watcher. Sometimes the YT algorithm throws a gem at me out of nowhere. You ladies rock. Truly amazing. Both the singing and the guitar skills. Well done. Enjoyed this thoroughly. New sub right here.
New subscriber, also. Scrolling the lyrics made me appreciate the song even more than from way back in the day. And very clear and clean guitar playing == bravo.
The last time I heard this song live was on the Queen Live Killers Tour on Dec. 1st, 1980 in Bremen, Germany. I've been a huge Queen Fan at that time. And now, over 40 years later, you wonderful Ladies nailed it with your grandious version. I'm loving it. Thank you very much and best wishes from Germany...
Covering a song as difficult as this must be such a challenge. These ladies had so many easier options to choose from, and they nailed it. I remember on Queen's earlier album sleeves in the 70's they always stated they didn't use synthesizers - ''No synths''! They seemed very proud of that. (They later did use them.) I could see where they were coming from at the time. You two just rocked one of their most difficult songs (in my opinion) with TWO guitars. I think Queen would be proud of that. Brian May is active on TH-cam I believe, I would love for him to see this. Congratulations, and thank you to you and all of The Other Favourites and talented friends for keeping me smiling in lock-down while looking after my dad. You probably aren't aware how much of a difference you make.
@@Hottiedonkey Agreed. Sometime I just speak/type my thoughts not meaning to criticize or judge. Truth is she is an outstanding guitarist and musician ; )
Okay guys I admit when I saw this title I thought no WAY. Absolutely NO WAY. But you NAILED IT! True to the complexity of the song yet your own unique spin. Freddie would LOVE this, dahlings. 👍🏼🤴🏻
Genre, gender, and style - all masterfully transformed in this arrangement. Every Sunday morning, I hold my breath, click, and then - goosebumps from raw, and yet understated talent. So accessible, so professional, so worthy. There really aren't any right words for the praise that Reina and Toni deserve.
@@DukeStarbuckle appreciating that two women can deliver the cover performance vs. The group of men that sang the original. It was seamless and not at all a factor.
Reina has a terrific voice and Toni is a very talented guitarist. Their duets are some of my favorite music videos. I have also noticed that the visuals of their productions are usually quite striking. Bravo!!
Very impressive! To strip down such a complicated song without sacrificing it's personality is an achievement! And, Reina, your guitar playing has really stepped up lately. I know it's hard to shine next to Toni, but I think you are strumming n picking like a champ!
Great job, both of you! Once again Toni looks up from whatever guitar work she's doing and blends in seemingly effortlessly with her harmony vocal, spot on!
I was at The Hammersmith Odeon in London in November 1975, to see Queen, which just happened to be the first day Bohemian Rhapsody went to NO.1 for the very first time. What a thrill and been a fan ever since. I have to say, having just tried to play it, this is an outstanding cover girls, so very well done. xx
Good Lord. That Toni is a huge asset to your music. She's a boss on that guitar and it adds sooooo much to your accompaniment, not to mention the fact that she can sing too!! That gal is quite impressive!!
I have no idea how difficult to play on guitar. But I know the song is harmonically complex but you play and sing it so smooth and transparent that I just lean back and melt.
The depth of material that you two attempt (and master) will never cease to amaze me. Great, great guitar work Toni, you are a master of your craft! (and at such a young age too)
You guys are just great. Everything just fits together perfectly like a musical jigsaw. This just shows how you can turn your talent to any genre of music with super results. This comes from being so naturally talented. Well done
If an acoustic rendition of this classic track than it has to be exactly like the one you both did. Wonderful. I guess Freddie would like it, too.Thank you! 👍😎
I could watch every single day every single song they play! Never seen a duo so genuine delivering the greatest songs. Congratulations are In order, fine ladys really know how to end the week and start a Sunday! Love them! Thank you for existing!
This was one of their best performances! Singing and the instrumentation. The guitars are so tight, Reina’s playing complements Toni’s amazing lead and melody. That Strat (?) sounds heavenly. Lead vocals, and vocal harmonies are beautiful and the recording is so crisp! Just wow!
Killer Queen -you two guitar queens killed it! My new favorite version. Spot on lead, harmony and arrangement. You made it look easy. It's not. Thank you for a real treat. 🙏
Respect! A Queen-Song is complex, you did a great job. Hope you can visit germany once more when this crazy times are over. I saw you in Hamburg and Colone.
My god you're both so talented and can play almost everything. I live in Holland and two weeks ago I was looking for "What a Wonderful world" from Louis Armstrong and found you on my way. Today I was looking for "Harvest Moon" and bumped into you again. You sound amazing and both have great skills. And even "Killer Queen" sounds perfect. I grew (I'm from 1955)up listening to Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Ernest Tub, Webb Pierce etc. My father did everything to get Country music played on the Dutch radio and he succeeded. He had a radio show for 20 years called "Strictley Countrystyle" which was broadcasted by one of the major radiostations. And I grew up, liked the Beatles and than heard Queen in 1973 and in 1974 I went to their first concert in Holland. I never got cured.
in my opinion you girls, josh and everybody doing this beautiful artwork are the wall i was looking for to block auto-tone and the mainstream music labels from destroying the very nature of art

Besides QUEEN I never thought anybody can play their music, but I was wrong, this is the first time that I can say “yes, you guys did it” … beautiful and unbelievable !!! … two guitars and two singers, I’m impressed and I am amazed. Thank you
Considering that this is a big-scale Queen song distributed over a full electric band, your version on two guitars and voices is amazing present and resonant. So yes, I do like it. Your way of singing it is less rangey than F Mercury's; but then also more original and personal for that. The chord structure of Killer Queen always sounded very on-melody, bright, and even moreso in your reading. Love how you worked your own bends plus twists into the solo--and so high up the board! What a hardworking, talented outfit you are! Makes my day to tune into your channel. Thanks moh...
Wow The Petersens covered bohemian rhapsody? Holy bleep ! I have to check that out. Thanks for the unintended recommendation. I'll let you know what I thought of it
@@daviddemar8749 Yeah, very notable performance. RDC introduced me to this band when she collaborated with them during her last tour before the pandemic. Amazing, 5 lead vocalists. Bohemian Rhapsody - The Petersens th-cam.com/video/X_XVrm6zXmw/w-d-xo.html
Way to keep it simple! That was super sweet and concise. I understood all the words this time! That was pretty nice. I've never understood all the words in the Queen version. I've been singing a lot of wrong things in this song, since the 70s - not all of them actual words... Hey, great instrumentation, too. I loved the whole arrangement. I thought I'd miss the percussion, but I didn't. All the complicated guitar bits I expected where there. So well done to both of you and your very sweet voices.
KILLER ARRANGEMENT!!
Josh always faster than anyone else (._.
Agreed Josh! Keep up the great work you do.
Well, if YOU say so. ;-)
Yes!!

Fantastic!
I'm 76 and a Queen fan.
This is the cleanest solo of Queen I’ve ever heard in my life! What a quality!!!
Got that right!
Literally. Never heard a version of the solo with no distortion. But also very well played.
Agreed !
'What a quality'
This is why guitar is the greatest instrument. Beautifully done.
Holy cow. The tone on that Telecaster is straight up amazing. So full. So crystal clear. That's amazing.
...and it's ALL in the "fingers".
exactly!
This is the first time I have ever actually heard clearly and understood the lyrics to this 40+ year old song! Thank you.
Not only is it superb from Reina and Toni, but how extraordinarily clever Queen were, with lyrics and music.
Me too
40+??? My word, am I really that old? (checks watch) Oh.
The two ladies somehow did listen better to the original text than I did... 😊
@@spud13x13 did you really check your watch to know how old you are

I totally agree I don’t know how did it - it was wonderful
@@sebxiou-lifestyle4465 Also?
Two Queens for a Queen's classic
^^^ This. Precisement, mon ami.
The person with the telecaster is absolutely fantastic. 100% precision.
I just discovered them. She is a great guitarist
The harmony created by their guitar playing is fantastic
I'm a queen fan and I tell you one thing for sure that this is one of the best covers I've ever heard
👍
It's nice but as a queen fan, well...
marc martel version
Everyone keeps saying how proud Freddy would be. Let me tell you if Brian May sees this he will be blown away with the arrangement.
Queen is a blocker. They'll probably prevent the video from being shown in the US once they find it.
Even Roger Taylor would have to appreciate this!
@@JS-lr8nj yeah, Rick beato keeps saying they are notorious blockers......... but not very dilligent ones as there zillions of people covering their stuff on TH-cam.

Killer Queen was on the radio when I was 17 yr old. I remember driving down the road rockin' out. Good job girls. Thanks.

Do you have something to do with the Fritz Brause Band from Bochum?
I’ve been playing guitar in bands for 40 years and these ladies are amazing and their ability blows me away.
I'm disappointed that it has taken YT 2 years to recommend this video to me.
Toni is one of the most talented guitarists out there!
Here harmonies are also off the hook!
I want you to relax
Nope
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
The best killer Queen Solo ive ever heard

A s far as I can remember on "the Game", 1980, they stated, on the cover, that they were using Synth for the first time :)
That red tele is by far the most beautiful guitar I have seen in a long time.
Mindblown by the skill and musicality.
I like this cover. It's understated and low-key.
Toni's sigh after the solo is endearing.
She is talented guitarist in my opinion.
Telecaster too clacky for me, also seem to fret out at the end of solo? But sounded great (different) on chords. . .
It's a challenge.
