Seems like I've been listening to this song for 50 years. It never gets old!

Bohemian Rhapsody is the Most Streamed Song of the 20 th Century

“He is the armless …legless …WONDER …of the 20th Century!”

Bohemian Rhapsody Green Day Concert. Crowd sings the song 40 years after it was released. 🔥

“I remember Freddie coming in with loads of bits of paper from his dad’s work, like Post-it notes, and pounding on the piano,” May said in 2008. “He played the piano like most people play the drums. And this song he had was full of gaps where he explained that something operatic would happen here and so on. He’d worked out the harmonies in his head.” The best live version of BoRhap is Montreal 81.

The beginning is Freddie's layered voice harmonizing with himself.

Bohemian Rhapsody is an epic opera in one song .

This is Rock opera at its best

Freddy can emphasis his voice to match the lyrics so perfect. RIP Freddie

All the Band members have incredible voices. Thanks Emma 🎉🎉🇨🇦

Little known fact, Brian May's guitar is homemade from a kit that he and his dad bought and put together when he was a teenager.

As Brian told it, it wasn't a kit. It was made from materials found around the house, like from their mantle over the fireplace. I believe the electronics may have been purchased.

wasnt the record company mad at them" its way too long the radio stations wont play it"..? : decades later its still played on the radio,mostly in full lenght🤣

How can someone hear Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time in 2024. Especially someone from music world.

I bought "A Night at the Opera" almost 50 years ago. Of course, this song played on the radio all the time. I saw them live, in September 1980, before I ever saw this video once MTV came on the air in August 1981.

They DID name the album “A Night At The Opera”

This is a masterpiece. I wasn't a Queen fan growing up, but every time they were on the radio/MTV, I wouldn't tune into another station.

It's amazing isn't it? And it encapsulates everything about Queen - the beautiful music, the rocking, the voices, the sense of drama (and humour). Brilliant.

Un piacere puro ascoltare i Tuoi commenti, con quel garbo, quella dolcezza innata che hai dentro di Te Emma. GRAZIE per tutto questo, sei fantastica

The opening part is actually Freddie singing in four ocarives mixed together

Lmao ocarives

The huge choir ( "bismillah" etc. ) was them singing a ton of overdubs in the studio. Saw them in the early 80's, in concert for that big choir part they just ran the tape, then performed the rest.

A clue to the composition style for this track can be taken from the title of the album it was released on: "A Night at the Opera". Sections of this song are like acts or scenes in an opera.

One of my favorite facts about Queen...Brian May is included in most lists of all-time greatest guitarists and he went on to earn a PhD in Astrophysics. Oh, and he was recently knighted by King Charles, so he is SIR Brian May.

I knew you would love this. Phenomenal as is the live.

This track come from an album of 1975 which was entitled " A Night at the Opera". 🙂 The very high falsetto note was Roger Taylor, the drummer.

My childhood was so cool. All these cool bands and me just about to hit puberty. The 80's came in like a world wind of changes but Queen stayed the course and got better and better. Radio Ga Ga , movie soundtracks flash Gordon, quicksilver, highlander. You will love the show must go on. Freddie acknowledged his sickness and insisted the Show must go on.

I never realized BR didn't have a chorus until someone pointed it out. The song is completely bombastic & theatrical and has passed the test of time.

A Rock Opera as Freddie intended due to his love of Opera. Part one he kills a man. Part 2 he pleads for his life before Judges . Part 3 he is sent to the Devil

Love how creative Bohemian Rhapsody is/was.... Multi songs in 1, who'd thought it would still be popular in 2024 after 49 years?! Incredible stuff!

The rock part at the end was always my favorite but I love every second of this song 🔥❤️

LiveAid is an amazing performance! A bit of everything!

Roger Taylor's I'm in love with my car drum solo.

In that first section all the harmonizing is just Freddie.

엠마는 너무 예뻐요 ~~리엑션 잘보고 갑니다~~~

Lovely ❤emma there is nothing else like bohemian rhapsody.

If you want more Queen like this, from the same album “The Prophet’s Song” is equally epic in a slightly different way. Another masterpiece.

Definitely recommend Somebody to Love.

THE most operatic song from their Night at the Opera album.

Greatest song ever. Masterpice.

Bohemian rhapsody best song all tine

Queen - Innuendo is a similarly epic song …very inspirational✨

Great song. I've been a Queen fan for years. I remember hearing this song back in the Fall of 1975. I was a United States Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina.

No problem 😊

🇸🇪 here. The first time I saw Queen live was at the (RIP) Rainbow Theatre in London 1974. I was sixteen at the time and that concert was the first time I travelled abroad (from Sweden) just to watch a rock concert. Took a cheap inside shared cabin on the ferry from Denmark, slept at a really, really cheap hotel and loved every minute 😉😁👍. Also Brian May was definitely one of the biggest reasons I started taking my guitar playing seriously. The red guitar Brian mostly use has his own story. Back when he took up playing more seriously at 16 (1963) he couldn’t afford a quality electric guitar - so he asked his father, an electric engineer, to help design and build his own guitar. The project (wholly designed and built by them) took well over a year to accomplish and the result was ”the red special”, which has been his primary guitar ever since. And of course one of my own electric guitars is a BMG Super, a recreation of the original "Old Lady" as accurately as possible and handmade in the Czech Republic for Brian's own guitar shop 😊.

You are mouthing the words like my dad use to do watching old westerns. It's really funny to watch. 🤣🤠😮

I enjoyed watching you watch an enjoy the video. It's a classic from my youth and I'm glad you could enjoy it half a century later!

To hear another side of Freddie, check out Barcelona (which he wrote), his duet with opera singer Montserrat Caballé. That one will definitely give you goosebumps!

BTW, Emma, Brian May, the lead guitar player, is an extremely smart man. He has a degree in astrophysics.

And the reason for Freddie's tongue-in-cheek 'Galileo' reference in the song, as a tribute to his bandmate's seemingly primary 'raison de vivre'

I would like you to analyze a Brazilian song called "Águas de Março," especially the version sung by Tom Jobim and Elis Regina. The song talks about the changes in life, using the period of March as a metaphor, which represents the end of summer and the rainy season in Brazil.

One of the most complete songs ever. I love him. Queen has another similar song, Innuendo.

I really like Freddy with David Bowie, “Under Pressure”. One of my faves.

Some of those harmonies are 9 part ... All done without auto - tune...

You could definitely listen to Queen's "Prophet's Song." It's a little older than Bohemian Rhapsody, but some say the song is the "mother" of Bohemian Rhapsody, because of some similarities.

From the same album and was Brian's attempt at an epic piece. March of the Black Queen is regarded as a close relative of Bo Rhap in as far as it was a multi-part song without conventional structure and 26 years later Innuendo is considered the 'son' of Bo Rhap.

All of the opening voices are Freddie, despite how it’s filmed.

Love at Wembley Saturday night 1986 watch it live bohemian rhapsody x

Almost 50 years now, truly timeless...

QUEEN a band that marked my adolescence. There are some covers. A fun one is "Bohemian Catsody - A Rhapsody Parody Song for Every Cat Queen and King!". Freddie Mercury had several cats at the same time, which he adored.

Welcome to the genre of Queen❤

Now you need to react to The Muppets rendition of this song.

Great reaction. Freddie Mercury was a genius. Recommend Pentatonix’s a cappella version. Brian May loved it.

That harmonized intro ? Freddie Mercury did it himself, harmonizing with himself by recording over and over and over on the same cassette tape, to the point of wearing it out. It's only a bit after that that the other members of the most mythical band ever starts singing. All geniuses, in their own right, and in several different domains.

You need to watch bohemian rhapsody very good movie about him

Need to check out the band ( Queensryche ) and their song ROAD TO MADDNESS.

Nice Emma ....as always😊

THIS is my All Time Favourite Song for nearly 45 years. Masterpiece. Try my Forever Favourite Live Version from Live Killers 1979... Love It !!!

Great reaction and analysis Emma. BTW , you're so gorgeous ❤

Please listen to the Pentatonix cover of Bohemian Rhapsody Rhapsody. It’s a cappella. Yes, it works.

Play stone cold crazy. Freddie wrote it in 69 amazing!!!!

Brian and Roger lent their vocals too; for example, the high falsetto in the mock operatic section was Roger's.
