    I love rock stars who remember their own context as people who are privileged to live their dreams because of that two-way relationship with their fans. That's Brian May (and I think it was Freddie too). He revolutionized electric guitar, and not only is he humble about it, but he'll show you exactly how he did it and say it's no big deal.

    Stephen Pike Couldn't agree more. So genuine, honest, sincere, ridiculously talented and intelligent - other bands at the time used to laugh about all these guys with University Degrees that ended up in one of the greatest Rock Bands of all time. Brian went on to finish his PhD. In Astrophysics in the early 90's. I mean really?.? Seriously?? Amazing. The way he and Roger put up with the media and did interviews shortly after Freddie's death, to set the record straight, was nothing short of Herculean, as they were pretty shattered. Lovely guys. Amazing musicians. Iconic Band !!

    28:00 Bri smiling and laughing about them singing like girls make me so unexplainably happy. It’s nice to see them all reminiscing in these clip over there life’s back then and mostly their best friend. I bet it also pings the heart whenever they hear there old friend sing and see him dance and galavant around stage as he once did and would have been doing still, but it’s also extremely extraordinary that they can smile and be happy listing to him and reliving those memories because they had them in the first place and did all these amazing things as a group. There will never ever be another one of these band members, they were each so different but also seemed to all belong to the same puzzle, and there will certainly never be a band that will ever compare to what is queen. I doubt there will ever be performers and songwriters, as no questions asked about it, legendary as these few men are. I envy those who got to see them live and actually watch there history unfold before there eyes.

    This song, in my humble opinion, shows what a genius of music that Freddie Mercury was. It's even beautiful without guitar or vocals. Mr. Mercury was THE best of the best. The world lost him and all the music he would have created too soon. It's such a shame not to have had this gentleman for all these long silent ,of his gift, years. RIP Mr. Freddie Mercury. You were and are well loved.

    linda baker He had an official 4 octave vocal range, which is still impressive; however some (still not a handful or few), has a vocal range of 4 octaves and above. Even Freddie admitted that Roger Taylor (the drummer) can sing higher than him since he had a 5 octave range. However, nobody will ever match Freddie’s Flamboyancy and his tone in voice. He is simply the greatest I’ve ever heard.

I can't imagine being in their presence. We can't forget about Roger who provided the most kick ass backing vocals for Freddie while playing the drums like a boss. Oh, you need a special little amp for your guitar? John can whip one up for you bc he's a freaking engineer! I thank God for each of these men and the influence they've had on the world for over 40 years now. Incredible! 👏🏼

    In those days, musicians had to have real talent with playing their instruments and singing, because as Brian May points out, "The take was the take" and you weren't able to do a lot to it afterwards. You had to just do a take and nail it. Now I feel like this is something that is sadly going away, as real musicianship is not as valued as it once was, and talentless pop stars use autotune, synthetic drums (which never have the same feel as a good drummer actually playing drums), and programs like protools which are overused. Can you imagine a band today making a song this complex?

    This documentary is just what I've longed for, to hear the different pieces of Bohemian rhapsody part by part. It's such an amazing complex song that it's almost impossible to pick up every single note. It was great hearing Brian go through each bit with commentary and he's so nice. This song is one more proof of how amazingly talented Freddie Mercury was. Not only did he have the best voice ever and a legendary stage performance, he also wrote so many songs that will live forever. Imagine composing the whole Bohemian rhapsody in your mind, talk about a great mind. I love him and Queen so much and I really wish I could have seen them live. Unfortunately I was only 11 years old when Freddie died but if I had one chance to go back in time I would use it to see them.

As I'm my experiance they either become harder to face, or become bigger issues. Whether this be love, money, or business. This songs works on all levels. Oh and it's quite good too. 😋 I think you need to become a Serbian age, or at least level of maturity to get this song. As a kids it was a great catchy song. As an adult (40 somthing) now, it's so much more.

    I understand the not wanting to explain the meaning of a song. Amy Grant once told a story how a fan came up to her gushing about a particular song helped her fall in love and it explained everything in her life. Amy replied, "I'm glad you liked it; I wrote for my dog." It was a joke. She meant that what inspires one person to do something may not be the same meaning that is picked up by the listener. There are some songs that are pretty self-explanatory ("Tears In Heaven"), or ambiguous ("25 or 6 to 4"), or better off interpreting your own meaning ("Bohemian Rhapsody"). Explaining BR would be the equivalent of when the secret to mastering the Rubik's Cube was published. Really, when you know how the puzzle fits together before you even begin it, where is the fun of mastering it on your own?

    I recall people over the years shrugging off these “rock musicians” as talentless hacks who just take drugs and bang on guitars in the studio...until you stop and listen and hear the science and musicality behind what they did...they went in like surgeons, masters at the craft, inventing methods on the spot...being meticulously precise and careful with what they were doing. They weren’t just drugged up idiots making noise. They were master musicians making classics that will stand the test of time.

Everything they were talking about was wayyy over my head and might as well have been in a foreign language...but I watched the whole thing because Brian is so awesome to see and listen to. He seems so warm, kind and humble and he is also incredibly intelligent. I could listen to his soothing voice all day. Roger is awesome too, he's also very intelligent, has a great sense of humor and appears warm and kind also. I so appreciate that they let us in on everything Queen, and are still keeping the band fresh, current and very much active 40+ years later...and always speak very warmly of Freddie and keep his memory alive. I thank them for giving us some of the best music ever, music that will always stand the test of time.

Queen made art in an artisanal, acoustic way and that's why the song stands the test of time. As 10CC did with the manual loop made with tapes for the choruses in "I'm not in love" in 1976. Or Kraftwerk with the chorus taken from an Orcheston keyboard for "Radioactivity" in 1975. Creativity in maximum expression. Today we have more technical resources, but talent is scarce.

He did a little right handed tapping before mister Eddie Van Halen and even tap harmonic stuff. AND he had a KILLER live solo with an echo playing in between the beats, with the beats, etc creating an amazing symphony of his guitar and EVH would later do Cathedral which< I think, he got the idea for from Brian. BTW, for what its worth I think the second most underrated guitarist is Elliot Easton of the Cars : )

    Freddie Mercury past away 27 years ago on November 24 ,1991. as of this writing December 2018. He and his voice are built in to my early teen ,late teen years until I was 32 years old on that very sad day. This fan has missed you and that God given magnificent voice from that sad day on. There is a void in those of us who lived during the rise of Queen and all those hit songs we grew up listening to. Being there as one song after the other was released. It's in our DNA.Freddie Mercury you my friend are so very truly missed. My youth is part of your magic. Queen was always playing some where always. Wonderful if you loved the band and the vocals and I most surely did. Queen will be a part of me until I die just like the house where I grew up. The town and neighborhood where I grew up. All a part of who I am. Freddie ,Thank You for sharing your talent with us all. Peace be yours.

    It’s so obvious how much love and mutual respect these men have for each other. I’ve been watching MANY videos on Queen/Freddie Mercury over the past few weeks. I’m 44 and knew about Queen and all but never really knew much about them. Something, probably the movie coming out, got me extremely interested in learning about them and Freddie Mercury himself. I never knew how incredibly attractive he actually was. And it breaks my heart that AIDS killed him and so many others, including a family member of mine. You can tell that when Brian and Roger speak of him there so much love there. You can definitely see how much they miss him and wish he were still with us. There have been a lot of people that have come and gone in this world, and many I would like to have met, but for some reason Freddie Mercury is so high on that list, and it breaks my heart that it will never happen. I live in America but would love To travel to England to see where he lived. Too many rock stars are self-absorbed, But you can tell this group of men is not.

    It's wonderful how, after Brian says he wouldn't give the meaning of the song, even if he knew, then coyly, gives the meaning of the song. Freddie Mercury, the only man to burst out of the closet, find it extremely scary (so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.....just gotta get out, just got right out of here...) and go right back in again. And if you listen to Brian, that's exactly what he's saying. That Freddie was dealing with a lot of things in his life, got to nervous, and decided to deal with them later. Hence the meaning of the song.

    The breakdown of this song should be a lesson in every music class, let alone recording/mixing/engineering class! It is a true statement, as is sgt pepper, what it takes, what it took, to get onto a recording, what you HEARD IN YOUR HEAD! without a metronome, auto anything.. just your gut instincts, natural talent, tenacity to go outside the bounds of what could be done on tape, how to create it ON tape; etc. If you've never recorded in an analog/tape setting, you dont understand how much went into recording 'manually', mistakes and all, what it took to create & record sounds/parts that are in your head and put them on tape with no auto tune auto correct nothing. This documentary is not just about a masterpiece; this song. its a documentary about the sheer genius and a masterpiece of analog recording/mixing/engineering techniques that is just as much a 'masterpiece' unto itself. Recordings made this way were complex, stressful, painstakingly long and costly as well. Editing with tape, with a razor and an editing block alone is NERVE racking as ANY edits were destructive. There was NO room for error, NO copy/cut/paste/move etc. like there is today where it really doesnt matter since you can tidy things up. Besides that, there was/were NO auto tune/auto fix ANYTHING! YOU were the 'auto tune' YOU were the metronome, YOU were 'rewind and do over'. YOU created all the soundscapes and tonescapes manually by moving mics, switching guitars, different micing techniques, etc. It was ORGANIC, real, physical and in your face. Not all done on a laptop with every instrument being a digital sample/representation of the real thing. Vocal harmonies like those in bh were REAL, not some unfeeling, 'perfect' pitch/tune changing junk like in todays music. All that stuff did/does was to remove the HUMAN ELEMENT which has made most of whatever 'music' is popular, nothing more than a sterile feeling bunch of sounds all created IN and by, a computer program with plug ins. To this day, i/we record as analog as possible, using a daw for its cost effectiveness and space saving abilities. Any of todays rap/hiphop/pop music is all so sterile and dry, without feeling or emotion, every note perfect... THAT is not human, thats a machines representation. When everything is digitally perfect, it has lost what makes/made REAL music, well, REAL...that human quality. You can hear it in this documentary as the tracks get broken down. How 'weird' the tracks sound, how odd the little pieces and instrumentations sounded, that is, until you start hearing the blends and bounces of tracks and then, as they get put together little by little, allthose little bits and pieces come together to form this true masterpiece, created, recorded, mixed, engineered and mastered, ALL by man, not machine. These techniques should NEVER be lost for they are the instrumental in HOW to break down a song in ones head, HOW to get those ideas OUT of your head and into/onto whatever recording medium you have. The lessons here, imho, are INVALUABLE to say the least. To not teach them is a crime. Its too easy to be a laptop musician without knowing/understanding what actually is needed in order to create a truly great song; let alone a masterpiece such as bohemian rhapsody. Yes, it takes a lot, a LOT of gear, time, patience to do what these FOUR guys did... you can re create it, in a digital sort of world, but do so, with as LITTLE use of plug ins, auto tuning, auto harmony, auto anything, dont look to fix little errors for those little errors are often the BEST part and brings the HUMAN ELEMENT INTO THE WORK! digital perfection is sterile, cold, soul less, bereft of emotion and rather quite boring. Use modern tech for the ease and simplicity of recording/mixing, but dont let it BECOME the do-all. The more digital your work is, the LESS human it will be. Listening to ANY of whats 'hot' out there will demonstrate this; the proof of what i am trying to get across is simple, its what makes THIS song and many others that were recorded in similar fashion, STAND THE TEST OF TIME...take anything from the last 5 10 or 15yrs, and see where they are now. In the digital dumpster; they arent even created, for the most part, by the people 'performing' them! You can bet, 90 -95 % and more of todays music is ENTIRELY created on and in a computer with very little REAL instruemntation or vocal work. Just watch any music 'award' show of lets say, some hip hop/rap crap... you have NO musicians, NO singers, well, one or 2 'talkers' talking into a 'live' mic with a bunch of morons jumping around on a stage in some primeval or space type attire, doing so called 'dancing'. Total crap! Sorry if this sound like a 'rant', being a REAL musician, singer/songwriter/recording independent artist myself, watching this and other similar documentary's brings back the IMPORTANCE of how much the human aspect/element is sorely lacking in most music today which me and my music partner are working hard at countering! To that, and thanks for reading this, please take a gander and a listen to some of our latest music and some of the videos for our songs.... you can hear the human aspect in all of them which we strive hard to get on our recordings. HERE are links to the music and videos... thank you... long live Queen and the art of TRUE recording...

When he says Mama, just killed a man it feels like he's referring to himself. When Brian says 'I don't think there's much chance of finding out what Bohemian Rhapsody means" I can't help but think that he is over thinking the meaning. It just feels like Freddie is bearing his soul.

    Same! I saw them in 78 & 80/81 in Los Angeles. The 78 Queen concert was the first concert I ever went to. It was their News of The World tour. (The one in 80/81 was the Jazz concert tour) It did not disappoint! I've been to hundreds of concerts since then and no band ever came close to the musical experience that was Queen. Freddie, well, there has been no other frontman musician like him. And the rest of the band: all professionals! They had a gong back then and I loved watching Roger hit it at the end of BoRap. He did that in both concerts I went to. Queen, just one of a kind! They still are the BEST! Great memories! I still play my albums! 😊
