I'm living in Iran and when Queen came out my father used to listen to them and he was a big fan in that kind of situation and country.... I've known them for my whole life and when i saw the title i was like "whaaaaaaaaat?!" I just can't believe it 😑 first time listening?? And when the movie came out i was really happy because it made the generation of fake music listen to some real music :)))
I can agree that they might not know who queen is or that this was their song, but they are definitely bullshitting when they say they have never heard it.
Instead of people being critical of these young men never hearing this, we should all be pleased to see how wonderful it is to see people appreciate this genius.
So true!! Some of these people were not even born before Freddie Mercury passed away! I find jewels of the past all the time. The 50's were 20 years before my time, but I love listening to many of the songs from that time since my parents were teenagers at that time and owned records and then bought CDs of them. I'm horrible at knowing the name of bands, and often the names of songs (same issue with actors, writers, etc). Names are just not my thing. I was in elementary school when Thriller came out up until maybe a year or two before I had no clue who Michael Jackson was!!
Well.... not quite. The way they made the harmonies were all digitized and a lot of people don't realise that the "harmonies" were mostly the lead singer repeated in different recorded tones.
Mitchell Finlay U never deeply related 2 da story of Jesus on da cross, btween da 2 theivez, huh? Da theivez repreSINt regret 4 da past & fear of da future. They r busy murdering da truth & da lite on da golgotha, up there n skullplace, & thus succumbing 2 da 2 theivez. Thusly, many peephole, do da same, about all manner of thingz. NOT JUST QUEEN!
I haven’t heard it lol. Didn’t even watch this reaction cause I wanna listen to it on my own time 😂😂. Looked up the lyrics as well to make sure. I’m well aware of who Freddie Mercury is and I’ve heard other songs, but not this one.
My nieces are 13 and 7 and they know queen. My 13 year old niece puts their cd on every time she's in my truck and asked if we could see the movie when she saw they made one about queen
I was fortunate enough to be alive and in my teens and early 20's when Queen was on fire. I remember the first time I heard Bohemian Rhapsody in full. I had bought the original vinyl album and took it home, put it on my turn table, placed my headphones over my ears and had my mind officially blown. I am so happy when I see a new generation discover the excellence that was and is Queen.
My parents raised me on Queen, as did my mom's youngest sister. Every day I am grateful for that. I have an almost 3 year old daughter and I plan to educate her on Queen.
I cannot imagine what it must have been like to put on “a night at the opera” for the first time and then hear BoRap. I think I would’ve just lost my mind. It’s one of the greatest songs of all time and I don’t think there ever will be anything like it again. A masterpiece.
Plus the bassist is an electronics engineer and helped build some of their equipment (most notably the Deacy Amp, which was used in a number of their live shows) Edit: *former bassist
Brian May (guitarist) built that guitar with his father out of the wood from an old piano, his mother's pearl buttons, and other odds and ends around the house. That's why it has such a unique sound. He calls the guitar Big Red.
I was in high school when this came out this was 1975 or 1976 back when music had no color no race we jammed as long as it was a good song we loved Queen
I hear ya' Gwen O, back in the day we had one radio station around here and they played it all, you'd hear rock, soul, funk, even some country sounding stuff, we loved it all.
My thoughts exactly, the way he sings about all those fears we all have regardless where we're from, so human fears... and then makes it into a music like this...
It’s a CRIME you weren’t listening with headphones 😭😭😭 Queen is famous for switching instruments and vocals between left and right speakers and this unique sound is MASTERFUL in Bohemian Rhapsody. If you’re listening in stereo you miss it.

chan Bluegrass and older country is good. Modern country fucking sucks. I want to like modern country. I’ve tried everything. I just can’t. It’s fucking embarrassing
@@AndoCan123 how? Please elaborate. Back then autotune wasn't a thing and vocalists had much better trained voices than most autotune dependent artists of today.
no autotune, when they recorded the song and did the video, they had to overlap their voices in different octaves to get the "chorus" sound, took hours of time in the studio and it's all them. That's why you don't hear the chorus during live performances. Simply amazing, and all of this was in Mercury's head, simply amazing. Even Brian May didn't understand at first what they were doing and it was never revealed by Mercury what the meaning of the lyrics are. If you can find it, there is a couple vids on TH-cam on the making of the Rhapsody, really interesting, though kinda dry, but it gives us a look in how it was actually done.
Thank you for saying this...I hate when people are pretentious about shit. Music should be enjoyable whether it makes you happy or emotional. It should evoke feeling, and we don’t need the music police patrolling when what or who listens to it!!
This song was so different to anything out there at the time. It was like a 10 minute opera. Records of this length were unheard of. Radio stations played it in full.
@@soulspirit8687 According to Mercury's friend Chris Smith (a keyboard player in Smile), Mercury first started developing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the late 1960s; Mercury used to play parts of songs he was writing at the piano, and one of his pieces, known simply as "The Cowboy Song", contained lyrics that ended up in the completed version produced years later, in 1975, specifically, "Mama ... just killed a man."[17] Link to that is en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody (click on history and recording)
@@styles9956 There is no formal peer review on Wikipedia, but in my opinion, less formal crowd sourcing has proven effective in creating a remarkably useful free reference work. Many of the references cited in Wikipedia articles on academic topics are peer reviewed.
The level of talent from this band, especially from lead vocals Freddie is unparalleled even to modern times. This man had an incredible octave range and choreographed theater while performing.
Queen was ahead of their time. And captured the horrors of life and death and judgement and depression and confession. In beautiful music. Also, watch some Prince from the 1980's.
I was nine when the song came out and we listened to it on one of our school trips. On the bus it was Bo Rap and on the Hike we will rock you.... yes, one of our teachers was a big fan and I'm still thankful that he introduced me to Queen.
I heard this song when it was released in 1975(yes, I am that old) been my #1 band since. I recommend listening to as much as you can. They are amazing!!
1975... On a road trip, driving through the desert and it came on the radio. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Very next payday, I owned that album and spent my first Night at the Opera. I've never been the same.
Freddie Mercury was pure talent he composed the whole song by himself wrote the whole lyrics by himself you’ll never see another Freddie Mercury again You Guys can figure out the rest
I love Freddy don’t get me wrong but a lot of people think of queen as Freddy and Freddy only John roger and Brian were such a big part of queen and I feel like people forget and don’t appreciate them as much as they deserve
I enjoyed hanging out with these two during this video. They’re good company even for an old lady like me living on the other side of the world. Kinda mellow people who like talking about music in a non-egotistical way. And I love the teddy-bear suit or whatever that white fluffy thing is. I wish I was a little girl and he was my uncle.
Night Father Mayer is fuckin nuts and I’m not into that type of music, he can rip the blues man. Brain May is a better guitarist as far as unique sonically and how vocal his guitar is. Mayer is just fucking talented as hell. I respect him.
1st off, RIP to Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest entertainers of all time. 2nd, I LOVE this Queen song. It is simply a masterpiece. If you hear Freddie sing his part a capella, it will give you goosebumps how powerful and beautiful his voice was/is. Dope as song that'll be played 1000 years from now!
Mike - I think there are at least a couple of songs that are gonna stick around like "Happy Birthday To You". There isn't a school/college game or competition where you won't hear "We Will Rock You" and/or "We Are The Champions". They've become part of the world of sports/competition at every level if you think about it. These songs are already traditional so they COULD be around for a couple of hundred years or more. To have one song live on that way is a stupendous achievement. To have TWO, well that puts them into an entirely new category of popular. If no other work lives on, including Rhapsody, you can bet that Rock You and Champions will survive.
When you say it sounds like it's from a play is really accurate. The song is from the album 'A night at the Opera', that's why it has that kind of dynamic to it. Freddie Mercury was a versatile musical genius.
If you like Queen, then you gotta check out "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Under Pressure".... You'll probably recognize the bass line in both songs because they've been sampled a lot in various hip hop beats.... Peace.
I just found you and HIGHLY recommend you react (if you haven’t already) to the 1985 Live Aid performance by Queen! ( I had trouble writing this during the song since I kept rocking out to it and I’m 61!)
I think they mean this is their first time sitting down and actually listening to it. I'm pretty sure, like everyone else, they've heard it countless times in commercials and movies and whatnot.
If you search for these sorts of reactions, there are literally dozens of them, some for some of the most famous songs they ever wrote (and probably about 90% Americans, for some reason). I was shocked, stunned, horrified at first that all these people didn't know, but now it's just funny. Especially Bohemian Rhapsody.
My first time heard bohemian rhapsody is when im on college, like 7 years ago.. i google it because i try to get to know a girl at that time and she really big fans of queen, when i first time heard this song i though this is like some cult music and i hate it, but now "bohemian" is my ritual music everyday (and fyi that girl will become my wife in next year)
its top 3 of greatest rock songs of all time hands down this song was way before its time and is a masterpiece and you can't even try to deny that.@@maxotto9877
what you may not know is Freddie had a 4 octave range which is amazing for someone who had no formal singing training. Freddie Mercury was an amazing singer and he prowess as a front man was outstanding, he really knew how to hold an audience. You should really watch the live aid section they are famous for
I loved this comment: "That's some real rock n roll, huh" "Yeah man.. it's different though!" . So true, Queen are really something else, all four of them crazy talented and creative.
@Hairizal Dahrin just because you want to believe it's not true doesn't alter the fact he was born a British citizen because he was born in British Protectorate. Why not look it up rather than look even more stupid than you do.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera. It was originally 3 songs that Freddie Mercury decided to combine into one song. It is a six-minute suite, consisting of several sections without a chorus: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda. The song is a more accessible take on the 1970s progressive rock genre. It was reportedly the most expensive single ever made at the time of its release, although the exact cost of production cannot be determined. The band members are: John Deacon - Bass Player Brian May - Guitar and singer Freddie Mercury - Lead singer and piano Roger Taylor - Drums and singer All 4 members have written number one songs, the only band to ever do this. All four members player more than one instrument. Their Live Aid '85 performance is considered to be the best live rock performance ever. They stole the show. Live Aid: Live Aid was a dual-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia and West Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast. If accurate, this would be nearly 40% of the world population at the time. Unbelievable, just imagine 1.9 billion people watching this performance around the world. It may not have been a Queen audience before the show but I believe, they were Queen fans after the concert. Freddie's voice and his charisma had the audience enthralled. This performance has been voted twice as the best live rock performance of all time and watching it, you can see why. It was the magic of Freddie and Queen putting a spell on all the viewers in this unparalleled performance. Live Aid at Wembley on July 13, 1985 th-cam.com/video/A22oy8dFjqc/w-d-xo.html

The movie is THE best biopic ever made. It truly encaptured the essence of not only Queen, but their frontman Freddie Mercury. It literally makes you feel every emotion and as someone born after their active career, it really highlighted things i never got to see!!! It’s a must watch.
DominicaHeart you should watch straight out of Compton about the rap group NWA.. Rap’s version of the Beatles.. They have a biopic of Elton John coming out can’t wait! They need to do one on the GOATS the Beatles!!
I'm a 39 year old black female and one of the biggest Queen fans there is!!! Welcome to the club follows, and thank you for sharing this!!! Freddie Mercury was a musical genius and Queen's sound is like no other!!!
Here is another mindblower... This is considered the first music video. Unlike the snippets of earlier music and the Beatles Hard Day's Night... this was purposely made by Queen for release in its entirety.
You guys are pretty young. Hahaha So of course you didn't know who Queen was. The biggest rock band from England, since The Beatles. I saw the movie with my friends, bunch of old ladies, LOL, and we were all crying because we remember seeing Freddie Mercury alive back in the 80s. The movie brought back great memories. By the way, check out "Under Pressure"... the baseline sound was used by Vanilla Ice... Dum dum dum durum dum dum Ice Ice Baby!
There's no way I'm the only one out there binge watching Queen's songs reaction

There are plenty of artists today not using "autotune". In fact, calling it "autotune" immediately tells me that you know fuck all about music.
@@AndoCan123 lmao BTS fanboy kiddo go listen to Tony kakar XD and your mum is ranu mandal 😂😂
no autotune, when they recorded the song and did the video, they had to
overlap their voices in different octaves to get the "chorus" sound,
took hours of time in the studio and it's all them. That's why you
don't hear the chorus during live performances. Simply amazing, and all
of this was in Mercury's head, simply amazing. Even Brian May didn't
understand at first what they were doing and it was never revealed by
Mercury what the meaning of the lyrics are. If you can find it, there is
a couple vids on TH-cam on the making of the Rhapsody, really
interesting, though kinda dry, but it gives us a look in how it was
actually done.
That's why it's the greatest song ever written. It's a masterpiece.
Freddie was a genius
Fun fact: John Deacon did not contribute vocals to the operatic parts.
k
The best coment. That's why Freddie Mercury is amazing!
Wayne's World reintroduced this song to my geration. Doesn't matter when you discover Queen, as long as you have!
Thank you for saying this...I hate when people are pretentious about shit. Music should be enjoyable whether it makes you happy or emotional. It should evoke feeling, and we don’t need the music police patrolling when what or who listens to it!!

This song was so different to anything out there at the time. It was like a 10 minute opera. Records of this length were unheard of. Radio stations played it in full.
this song took freddie 10 years to perfect and 70 hours for them to record. no auto tune.
10 years? Lol when do you got that information?
@@soulspirit8687 According to Mercury's friend Chris Smith (a keyboard player in Smile), Mercury first started developing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the late 1960s; Mercury used to play parts of songs he was writing at the piano, and one of his pieces, known simply as "The Cowboy Song", contained lyrics that ended up in the completed version produced years later, in 1975, specifically, "Mama ... just killed a man."[17]

Not a hit until reissued in 1981. Released again after Wayne's World.

The level of talent from this band, especially from lead vocals Freddie is unparalleled even to modern times. This man had an incredible octave range and choreographed theater while performing.

Queen was ahead of their time. And captured the horrors of life and death and judgement and depression and confession. In beautiful music. Also, watch some Prince from the 1980's.
Love Prince and Queen!!!
Yeah, Prince is also some good shit
This man said they switched the whole thing up like sicko mode 💀😂 fr tho
This is the first time I have heard this song aswell and I started to cry, I got goosebumps! Pure Talent.
Seriously?! No one can reach the age of 3 without ever having heard this song.
I was nine when the song came out and we listened to it on one of our school trips. On the bus it was Bo Rap and on the Hike we will rock you.... yes, one of our teachers was a big fan and I'm still thankful that he introduced me to Queen.
Queen made the greatest music I’ve ever listened to my life. My entire life and I’m Nigerian.
I heard this song when it was released in 1975(yes, I am that old) been my #1 band since. I recommend listening to as much as you can. They are amazing!!
Yeah....and remember how original it was??? Instant classic!
1975... On a road trip, driving through the desert and it came on the radio. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Very next payday, I owned that album and spent my first Night at the Opera. I've never been the same.

I enjoyed hanging out with these two during this video. They’re good company even for an old lady like me living on the other side of the world. Kinda mellow people who like talking about music in a non-egotistical way. And I love the teddy-bear suit or whatever that white fluffy thing is. I wish I was a little girl and he was my uncle.
Dude just compared Bohemian Rhapsody to Sicko Mode and Brian May to John Mayer... arrest this man asap fr! 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
John Mayer is a much better guitarist than Brian May. Sorry bud. Listen to more than Mayers pop crap.
Night Father Mayer is fuckin nuts and I’m not into that type of music, he can rip the blues man. Brain May is a better guitarist as far as unique sonically and how vocal his guitar is. Mayer is just fucking talented as hell. I respect him.

1st off, RIP to Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest entertainers of all time. 2nd, I LOVE this Queen song. It is simply a masterpiece. If you hear Freddie sing his part a capella, it will give you goosebumps how powerful and beautiful his voice was/is. Dope as song that'll be played 1000 years from now!
Mike - I think there are at least a couple of songs that are gonna stick around like "Happy Birthday To You". There isn't a school/college game or competition where you won't hear "We Will Rock You" and/or "We Are The Champions". They've become part of the world of sports/competition at every level if you think about it. These songs are already traditional so they COULD be around for a couple of hundred years or more. To have one song live on that way is a stupendous achievement. To have TWO, well that puts them into an entirely new category of popular. If no other work lives on, including Rhapsody, you can bet that Rock You and Champions will survive.
When you say it sounds like it's from a play is really accurate. The song is from the album 'A night at the Opera', that's why it has that kind of dynamic to it. Freddie Mercury was a versatile musical genius.
if you haven't heard Bohemain Rhapsody your ears are still virgin.
Watch the 1985 Live Aid concert with Queen. Stole the show, all time best live concert.
Dawn Forbes chills every time I watch it!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Exactly. Wasn't even their concert, but they stole it over
If you like Queen, then you gotta check out "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Under Pressure".... You'll probably recognize the bass line in both songs because they've been sampled a lot in various hip hop beats.... Peace.
I love " I want to break free"
Tonza Collins same
Just seen the movie.... Get your arse there people!
@Sweet Cheeks Rami Malik annoys you? Hes like a fluffy sweet bunny who drinks rainbows
Rami killed that shit.
i think the only one who could play the role better would be freddie himself...

It might be a good movie but if you wanna learn the history of the band definitely avoid it because it changes alot of things that happened for real
I just found you and HIGHLY recommend you react (if you haven’t already) to the 1985 Live Aid performance by Queen! ( I had trouble writing this during the song since I kept rocking out to it and I’m 61!)
"Fat bottom girls they make the rockin world go round"
“First Time Breathing”. Coming up
If this is their first time watching the video, I get that.. but if this is the first time they've heard the song, WHAT?! 😀
I think they mean this is their first time sitting down and actually listening to it. I'm pretty sure, like everyone else, they've heard it countless times in commercials and movies and whatnot.
One of em heard it the other only heard bits and pieces
To me there's a huge difference between hearing a song and listening to a song.
If you search for these sorts of reactions, there are literally dozens of them, some for some of the most famous songs they ever wrote (and probably about 90% Americans, for some reason). I was shocked, stunned, horrified at first that all these people didn't know, but now it's just funny. Especially Bohemian Rhapsody.
Coz it’s bullshit.
My first time heard bohemian rhapsody is when im on college, like 7 years ago.. i google it because i try to get to know a girl at that time and she really big fans of queen, when i first time heard this song i though this is like some cult music and i hate it, but now "bohemian" is my ritual music everyday (and fyi that girl will become my wife in next year)
Congrats bro
That is wonderful!
congrats
The movie was brilliant....sad....funny...great acting and of course great music !!!!!

Well said sir.
what you may not know is Freddie had a 4 octave range which is amazing for someone who had no formal singing training. Freddie Mercury was an amazing singer and he prowess as a front man was outstanding, he really knew how to hold an audience. You should really watch the live aid section they are famous for
I loved this comment: "That's some real rock n roll, huh" "Yeah man.. it's different though!" . So true, Queen are really something else, all four of them crazy talented and creative.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen.
It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera.
It was originally 3 songs that Freddie Mercury decided to combine into one song.
It is a six-minute suite, consisting of several sections without a chorus: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda.
The song is a more accessible take on the 1970s progressive rock genre.
It was reportedly the most expensive single ever made at the time of its release, although the exact cost of production cannot be determined.
The band members are:
John Deacon - Bass Player
Brian May - Guitar and singer
Freddie Mercury - Lead singer and piano
Roger Taylor - Drums and singer
All 4 members have written number one songs, the only band to ever do this.
All four members player more than one instrument.
Their Live Aid '85 performance is considered to be the best live rock performance ever.
They stole the show.
Live Aid: Live Aid was a dual-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative.
The original event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine.
Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people).
On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia and West Germany.
It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast.
If accurate, this would be nearly 40% of the world population at the time.
Unbelievable, just imagine 1.9 billion people watching this performance around the world.
It may not have been a Queen audience before the show but I believe, they were Queen fans after the concert.
Freddie's voice and his charisma had the audience enthralled.
This performance has been voted twice as the best live rock performance of all time and watching it, you can see why.
It was the magic of Freddie and Queen putting a spell on all the viewers in this unparalleled performance.
