The operatic section was multi-dubbed so many times that the metal oxide on the tape they recorded it on started to wear off...pretty special effect I'd say, considering what came out of it...

This was 1975 almost 50 years ago. The singer, pianist is Freddie Mercury. He composed both the music and the lyrics and has a vocal range between 3 and 4 octaves, as does their drummer, Roger Taylor, the blond guy doing the highest notes. His degree is biology, and he wrote A Kind of Magic, Radio Gaga etc.. Their bassist, John Deacon has advanced degrees in electronics, created a unique amp, and also created hit songs like Another One Bites the Dust, I Want to Break Free, Your My Best Friend etc. The very talented, iconic guitarist is Sir Brian May, phd in astronomy and astrophysics. He wrote We Will Rock You, Fat Bottomed Girls White Queen, I Want It All, etc. They each are in the Song Writers Hall of fame and the group is considered to be an all time top band. Michael Jackson was a big fan of Freddie and Queen, and Freddie and MJ wrote some songs together. Freddie also wrote We Are The Champions and a lot of the 200+ songs in their discography. Freddie died in 1991, but his music lives on as Queen is still touring with Adam Lambert and will be in the US this fall

As an older gay man who remembers attitudes from the past, I've spent the last few years really appreciating how a modern audience sees through the once repressive traits of an individual or group of people and go right to the talent. What was once rejected is now seen as swag and stage presence and Queen certainly have that it abundance. And as for Freddie himself - a never to be seen again triumph of the human race RIP

Tragically, we were all products of our parent’s attitudes back then. I am always heartened to see that children today just don’t understand the sort of prejudice that we grew up with (at least in England - I fear many parts of the US still have a long way to go). Freddy was a pioneer and a genius and the world would be all the poorer without the creativity and artistry that our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters have always given us.

@@Cleow33 Well said Claire - I remember the words of Thatcher and the police chief of Liverpool in the press growing up. As soon as they thought HIV & AIDS were a gay only disease the public health campaign suddenly dropped off the funding chart and an epidemic was born. Attitudes have taken 4 decades to change - I suspect they haven't, they've just replaced with new people with better attitudes. As they seemed to change simultaneously with racial and other anti-minority attitudes at the same time. As a Generation X member, I do think the 90s and those of us who spoke out or stood up for what is right, allowed our children that space for expression - the space we weren't allowed for ourselves. However, with recent political changes both here and in America, I suspect the 'good old days' aren't that far away again. Moving to Europe soon, I'm not waiting for the exodus.

👏👏👏 Let me introduce you the Queen: Freddie Mercury the lead singer and pianist, Brian May the guitarist, John Deacon the bassist and Roger Taylor the drummer, they all were highly graduated. Queen is the most versatile rock band, they wrote their own stuff in several genres from rock to jazz, to pop, etc. about 200 songs. Freddie never took singing lessons, but his powerful and emotional performances are still legendary.

Bohemian Rhapsody, came out in 1975, the video was way ahead of its time.

Music aside, this is one of the most ground breaking video clips of all time. This was really pushing the limits of the time. Queen were ahead of the norm in every way.

A live performance gem by Queen is “Somebody to Love” live 1981 in Montreal. It was Freddie’s homage to Aretha Franklin. “Under Pressure” also live in Montreal will leave you gobsmacked. Of course, Live Aid, a charity concert for Africa had dozens of performers but they and the public agreed that Queen stole the show. Still considered the best live performance EVER!

Freddie had an idea for 3 songs, in the end he put them together and came up with this gem, in 1975 it blew everyone away.

This is such an iconic song but an iconic band. Queen covered all genres, never a group to stay in a box. Pure talent from each member and each member wrote number 1 songs as well. All college grads with Brian (guitar) earning a PhD in Astrophysics as well as recently being knighted by King Charles for his contributions to music and his work in preserving wildlife in the UK. Queen has a catalog of about 200 songs and all of them are excellent. This song was recorded on 16 track tape and multi-tracked to produce the sound of the choir of voices. It was done by laying vocal track after vocal track after vocal track then transferring that over to another tape to lay more vocal tracks. Not like today where you can lay the track once and then layer it on a computer. No autotune back then either so those are real vocals and real instrumental sounds requiring hours and hours in the studio. Some of the panning was done by splitting the stereo and then running it across from one side to the other. Thank you for your reaction, your smile throughout really was quite telling. I absolutely love this song and nearly 50 years later, it is still covered by so many artists. Freddie Mercury is the lead singer of the band and you are right, his range was amazing and his voice outstanding and unlike anyone else in rock or music for that matter. This was 1974 when this was recorded and the video made.

Great reaction. This is a video but Queen is known for being one of the greatest live bands of all time. I'd suggest listening to the live version of Somebody to Love from Montreal and Queen's 20 minute set at Live Aid. Both are regarded as greatest live performances. You might be surprised to know that lead singer Freddie Mercury is the only one singing at the beginning of this video. His voice was mult-tracked. On the other hand, Queen is the only band ever who had all 4 members write number 1 hits. The only one who didnt sing much was bassist, Jon Deacon. Brian May on guitar and especially Roger Taylor on drums were very good singers in their own right.

Queen created this as a promotional video even before there was an MTV or vh1 channel to watch it on, so you're correct they were always ahead of their time. I enjoyed your reaction and I really hope you'll explore more of Queen's extensive catalog of music, I'll guarantee you know a few of their most popular songs but it's the hidden gems that will make you a fan forever. There's a lot of us Queen fans 👑 looking for new reactions so your comment section is about to blow up with suggestions. Enjoy yourself!

Yes, it was sort of a promo video, although it was Freddy's brainchild , he said it was 3 songs he couldn't finish so he decided to mash em all together, and he knew in his own mind it would one day grab ahold. He had big big dreams and visions and knew precisely what he wanted. He was a perfectionist. Yup that is him doing multi-layered vocals on top of one another. Anywhere from 8 to 16 tracks of background vocals to make it full. He was a fanatic when it came to their engineering . He was at the sound//mixing board constantly perfecting this and that wanting a very very particular sound. ANd 99% of the time he got his way, the other guys confessed. They said they'd argue occasionally but Freddy in the end got his way because he knew and they all agreed what was needed to make it magic. And look how they all turned out after all. Freddy and Queen are absolute master musicians.

Other rock bands then saw it’s success and created their own. But Freddie Mercury was careful in creating videos that didn’t interfere with each listener’s own interpretation of the song.

I've used the inside cover (centerfold, so to speak) of their News of the World album as my wallpaper for years and I have a framed picture copy of it hanging on my wall. Greatest band ever, IMO.😃

This was the first proper music video. Also, there was no auto tune ! This was voted one of the best songs ever. Only song to be number one in the UK charts over 4 separate years. Also Queen played live to the largest paying audiences in Rio (Brazil) where they played for 2 nights and had between 250,000 to 500,000 attending. Even though it was a non English speaking country, the fans could sing the songs. Look up the video for “Love of my life” in Rio. Truly amazing.

Oh yes !!! My favourite band, class!! You have to check out Queens Live Aid performance, its quite long but it is regularly voted the best live performance of all time. Freddie was the ultimate front man, set the standard for others. No one could get a crowd going like Mr Mercury !! So many great tunes, quite a few of which you will probably know but won't realise it. Bo Rap (as has been said) was recorded in the early 70s and the harmonic voices were done before computers, they used an 8 track tape recording setup and just recorded the band doing harmonies over and over and layered them over the top of each other, so innovative. The success of this track had a lot to do with a DJ called Kenny Everett who played it over and over on his show on Radio 1 one day, he locked the door so his bosses couldn't get in to stop him 🤣

Queen was easily one of the most magical groups in history. I remember when they first came on the scene in the nineteen-nineties. I am now 77 and still get the good chills when I hear and see them perform. Written by Freddie. The fabulous guitar player also has a degree in Astrophysics. So sad that Freddie Mercury died way too early of AIDS. Such geniuses, all of them. Thank you for an excellent reaction.

I find it weird that there are adult humans in the world who have never heard this song. This was, if not the first, one of the first music videos ever and it is my earliest memory seeing the four faces, lit from above, then disappearing off to the right of the screen. I would have been 3 years old at the time. So much creativity mixing ballad with an operatic feel and then rock. So proud, they are one of our greatest exports/ gifts to the world. (I know Freddy was Indian/Zanzibar roots) Great to know that young people are discovering Queen (my 14year old daughter is a big fan and Freddy will live on through them. Suggest you watch the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

Brian May on guitar was a teaching professor before Queen took off. He's an astrophysicist.

Ok...to catch a glimpse of the way Freddie could hold a MASSIVE CROWD in the palm of his hand, & to give you a look at his stage presence, you MUST check out their 20 minute set at LIVE AID!!! There were LOTS of awesome groups there, but Queen COMPLETELY KILLED IT!!!

No one comes before Freddie Mercury and Queen ❤

The one and only Freddie Mercury on piano/lead vocalist, Dr. Brian May (astrophysics, trivia- his guitar body is made from the old fireplace mantelpiece from his boyhood home), Roger Taylor on drums/vocals (it was him doing the super high falsetto) and John Deacon on bass/vocals. To say that they were a hit would be SUCH an understatement. They were ahead of their time in both music and videography. They ended up being able to influence virtually every band that came after them and even some of their contemporaries because of how truly cutting edge they were. They were also highly controversial in their time when it became known that Freddie was gay (he eventually died of AIDS before effective treatment was found). Gotta remember that being gay in the 70s wasn't nearly as widely accepted as it is now, but the fans didn't really care because it was all about the incredible music, not their private lives

That guitar that Brian May is playing is an icon in its own right. It's usually called The Red Special and was built by Brian and his father when he was a teenager. Because the wood for the neck came from a fireplace mantel, it's also sometimes referred to as Fireplace. He has used it throughout his career, along with a few replicas on occasion. Look up the Red Special, it's a great story.

Now you know. One of the greatest rock bands of all time. They have some killer songs.

Loved your reaction : ) They are pretty wonderful aren't they? Freddie Mercury was born Faruk Balsara in Zanzibar E Africa of a Parsi-Indian family. He was very cultured and well read amazingly talented and a fantastic front man with audiences eating out of his hand. He died way too early at the age of forty five from complications of AIDS. What a waste. RIP Freddie.

Queens set at Live Aid concert was the best of all time.

You witnessed the start of the video clip era, not just live performance. His camera man was the genius behind the honeycomb effect. Freddie Mercury is a name you should become familiar with. Lead singer and writer and composer. Sadly gone, but never forgotten. You'd enjoy 'Fat bottom girls'.

Thanks for the comments! Wonderful response.

Queen is what you get if a designer, an electrical engineer, a dentist and an astrophysicist decide to make Music.

One of the best bands. Supposedly his coming out song. True talent.

Brian May's and his father built this 🎸 in their garage with spare parts from other guitars!

Amazing song by Queen! Legendary! Waiting to see some more Tom! HOG in the house.

I see you have a fairly new channel. Good luck, and welcome to the universe of great music. This was done 40 years ago.

Queen fan here.. (also a REN fan)!! I subscribed with hopes you will follow the Queen rabbit hole - which is very, very deep and amazing! You’ll be amazed at how many Queen songs you know… trust me!! I’m a 70+ yr old Gma.. loving the old and the new!!!! PS…. This video wasn’t made 14 yrs ago… it was made 50 yrs ago… and there are more current videos the band members have made that will help you understand how they made this ground-breaking video (it was one of the very first).. if you’re interested!

Thanks for your support, I'm diving into it all!

You are listening to a musical masterpiece ! Freddie Mercury maybe the greatest male vocalist ever !!

14 years ago?! I laughed out loud! I’m a crunchy old woman, and Freddy was rockin’ it when I was in high school! Your joy was palpable, and made my heart so happy. Any music that can erase the generational lines between a wrinkly old broad and a handsome young buck by virtue of its awesomeness is great music indeed! ♥️

This came out when I was in high school. Radio stations didn't want to play it because of the length but one brave one did and, well, the rest is history. My son worked in a smallish computer store. When this came on the store radio all the employees, and some customers, would sing along. Everyone choose their section of the middle part to be the voice of. It was great.

The DJ who played it was the comedian Kenny Everett who was a friend of the band
