And then, back in the day, Freddy played again and again videotapes to his friends, at his private home parties, of the concerts of Prince... 'A Kind Of Magic' was my last favourite album from Queen. I wrote 'album'.

There will never be another group like QUEEN

I like how the video starts and ends with footage from Bohemian Rhapsody merging with this song. Also the humour when Freddie ends the song asking for fried chicken

The entire "It's a Kind of Magic" is AMAZING!

One of the few songs where I, actually, prefer the cover version! [MetallicA's vers. for Elektra Records 40th anniv. "Rubaiyat"] -as any, real, metal historian knows: Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" and Black Sabbath's "Symptom Of The Universe" (which appeared less than a year after the release of: Sheer Heart Attack - which is the Queen album with: "Stone Cold Crazy" on it.) are, commonly & oft spoken-of as: "thrash-metal before there was thrash-metal" and core pieces of music which influenced the early players/writers in the genre. ...the aggressive, speed-laden tempos of the songs; but, particularly: the drumming (in style) ...as well the, overall, "sharpness" and/or directed aggression [which was. AT BEST! "uncommon" in ANY musical "genre," at those times!] of those 2 songs, certainly, became touchstones as well as "guideposts" for thrash-metal, in the '80s!

Soooo happy you did this one, one of my favorite Queen songs! Fried chicken indeed!!

For context... this song is from their album "A Kind of Magic"; which was the soundtrack for the 1986 film "Highlander" (6 out of 9 songs from the album were used for the film).

You *have* to react to this LIVE at Wembley 1986. The audience and the band are LIT 🔥

This is such a great effing song! It's just always felt like, after they gave arguably the greatest live performance in the history of rock at Live Aid in July 1985, Queen said, "Oh, right. We're the best rock band in the world. Let's do more of that." Then they went into the studio in September and recorded this absolute beast of a song!!

Glad you liked this so much. This is just a part of the Making Of One Vision video. Now you can catch Queen doing this song LIVE in concert in 1986 at either Budapest, Hungary OR either of their Wembley concerts that year.

Great last line! 🙂 Great reaction, guys!! Yes, he said Fried Chicken at the end!

This was the first song that Queen recorded coming off of their success at Live Aid. And it was during the sessions for One Vision, that Queen was approached by Russell Mulcahy to record music for his film Highlander. And yes, he DID say fried chicken. So apparently, fried chicken was their one vision… They must’ve been hungry at the time.

Yep. I only think of Highlander

This song was featured in 1986 film Iron Eagles. It is also the first track on the album A Kind of Magic. Every other track from that album is featured in the movie Highlander.

All four guys are masters of their craft. The talent level is off the charts. Iron Eagle was not a great movie but for 13 year old me, it was AWESOME.

Yea, he said Fried Chicken. Freddie liked to add in humorous bits to songs from time to time.

What an amazing story. Queen, already rock legends but by 1985 were seen as past their prime and has-beens, despite having a huge hit the year before with "Radio Ga Ga," did Live Aid and gave a performance of their career. IT was so strong, they went back into the studio and while they were working on the new album, got approached to do the soundtrack to Highlander. The resulting album was fantastic and gave them enough of a comeback that they were releasing new, and very good, music all the way up until Freddie died in 1991. If he had lived, they would likely still be together and would have been able to take advantage of the huge swell of renewed interest in 80s music that came up in the early 2000s.

Queen did it all. Great song. Great (almost speechless) reaction. Understandable.

This is such a great song, initially written by Roger about Martin Luther King but Roger went on vacation and when he got back, Freddie had messed with the lyrics quite a bit but Roger said was fine with the changes. There is a video called "The Making of One Vision" that you guys might enjoy either on your own time or as a reaction. It is really fun to see them all working together in the studio to make the song the best it can be. Thank you for your reactions, they were fun to watch. If you watch the making of video, you will see that at one point, Freddie was singing a Chinese take out menu as the lyrics for this song. It was fun and right in Freddie's sense of humor wheelhouse. The band decided to leave just the Fried Chicken lyric at the end. Strangely enough, once when Martin Luther King was asked what his favorite food was, he answered "Fried Chicken." Whether or not any of the band members knew this at the time of the recording, I don't know but it works with the original theme of the song.

You're thinking of kind of magic Freddie thought it could be a hit.

So they dismantled andcre wrote it! But the essence us still there

The whole "A Kind of Magic" CD is KILLER... this is the opener (also from the movie Iron Eagle) and filled with tracks from The Highlander movie ... one of my favorite Queen albums.

I first heard this when I was "in the field" in the Army in the 80's. Alone, tired, middle of the night, only had an FM radio with some cheap headphones. I had heard mostly garbage for days and I was thinking I was never going to hear anything good. Then this song hit and I couldn't believe how great it sounded. I really needed something and this was it. Felt much better about life. :) Hard to believe that was 38 years ago...

Thank you so much for regularly reacting to Queen songs. Please consider reacting to these two songs on your next few Queen reactions: “Steve Me“ their ballad released in 1980 will give you chills and “Good Old-Fashioned Lover Bo” released in 1977. Both bangers!

"The Making of 'One Vision'" is fantastic fun you should see now that you have seen the finished product. It's hilarious and a beautiful look at these four men working together to create magic. Great reaction!! Love you both!

Although more people are aware of Hammer now since it was part of their Live Aid performance that has gotten a lot more attention in recent years. Doesn't look like you've reviewed that song yet, so I'd definitely recommend you check it out. And as others have mentioned, "Stone Cold Crazy" is a rocker. That one rocks so hard that Metallica even did a cover of it.

This and Hammer to Fall are two songs I HAVE to listen to pretty much on a daily basis! Hammer to Fall (Live Aid 1985) is one of my all time favorite videos.

As long as we’re back on Queen for the time being, I once again can’t recommend enough “Hammer To Fall”, “Stone Cold Crazy” and “Who Wants To Live Forever”. 😉👍🏻

You can just feel how rejuvenated they were after taking time apart. Fred said it reminded him of the early days. RIP

I just love playing Queen songs on guitar Brian is a master we both built our own guitars too from scratch I think that's pretty cool and I use a dime

Great Queen song. If you like their heavier sound check out Princes of the Universe, Gimme the Prize, Death on Two Legs, and Stone Cold Crazy.

Stone cold crazy is so short but so good. 😄

When you're reminded by songs like this just how much fun and joy there used to be in music it makes you feel sad. We've lost the plot! ☹️

In 1986 I bought my first CD player and I wanted a fully digital (DDD) CD to play. Queen's 'A Kind of Magic' was the only one I could find that was fully digital and this was the 1st track. WOW! Blew my mind. I used to look forward to having the house to myself so I could play this at the volume you were meant to experience it, close my eyes and it was like being at a concert. You took me right back to that day, thank you guys so much.

This song was used in a movie called "iron eagle" the setting is about a teenager, who steals an airforce jet to go save his father, who was shot down in a conflict. if you could imagine this song being blasted in the cockpit of an airforce jet flying a dangerous mission, it actually fits so nice.
