Freddie Mercury is the lead singer, Queen is the group

This was Queen's first top 40 hit in the USA. It made the top 15.😊

Yes no 12 The album was also no 12

Freddie is a superstar. Missed and loved. RIP❤

Freddie owned the stage!

This was in the era of Glam Rock, so this long hair was in that era. By the later 70's, they (Freddie Mercury) had his classic shorter hair. FM was an amazing performer.

Gotta be considered one of the GOAT front men. He put everything he had in to his performances.

This is one of my very favorite early Queen songs. It is just sooooo Freddie. Okay, it is time for you to do some Live Queen so you can see how Freddie works that crowd. He is animated but he also is very engaging, he is the whole package. Queen didn't just do a concert, they always did a whole production with costumes, lights, smoke and engagement of the crowd.

This is when I fell in love with Queen and Freddie’s FUR JACKET! I had a chance to purchase it at auction last fall but it sold for 32,500. USD so 32,000 over my budget, lol. As a teen in the 70's, with no internet, it took me a little sleuthing to learn that Moet & Chandon was champagne! Queen's early years might be considered a bit heavier. Check out “Stone Cold Crazy” live at the Rainbow 1974. Freddie wrote it in 1970; Metallica covered it and won a Grammy. Thanks!

This song was my introduction to Queen back in 1974 when I bought this 45 rpm, which I still have.

“Does he (Freddie) look into the crowd?” Firstly, this is only a video performance recorded for Top of the Pops, which Queen, especially Freddie hated because it’s all lip syncing. Secondly, if you haven’t seen Freddie’s amazing interaction with the ‘crowd’ please check out Queen’s 22 minute performance at Live Aid in 1985 and the concert at Wembley 1986. My absolute favorite live song is Somebody to Love at the Montreal show in 1981. Queen = the band which consists of Freddie (lead singer, piano), Brian (guitar, vocals), John (bass), Roger (drums, vocals). Thanks for reacting ❤ I’ll be back for more.

Great reaction. You really need to start a Queen journey with the Official video of Bohemian Rhapsody. Killer Queen was the first Queen record that I bought and I’m still a fan. You can never go off them once you are hooked. 😁👍🏾

Queen was so far ahead of there time. Everything they did was ground breaking. As far as genres queen fit into so many categories. In the 70s there were really hard rock . Here are a few queen earlier performances. Queen Liar live London 1977 Stone cold crazy live at the rainbow Tie your mother down live montreal 1981 Liar live at the rainbow Keep yourself alive live montreal 1981 Dragon attack live montreal 1981 These are just a few there are so many more. Queens catalog is huge. R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU

Queen is the whole band Freddie Mercury lead singer diploma in Graphic Arts and Design, Sir Dr Brian May lead guitar PHD in Astrophysics, Roger Taylor drums degree in Biology after changing from Dentistry, John Deacon Bass guitar First Class Honours degree in Electronics all multi instrumentalists, all wrote number one hits, all inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame there you have Queen one AMAZING band love them ❤❤❤❤ the audience is a big part of Queens concerts they wrote songs for audience participation they love having interaction with the audience xx

Freddie designed the band's crest.

Queen was the first rock group I ever saw live back in '76 and it was amazing. Long hair, Flowing Japanese outfits, outstanding show. I saw them again the next year. This brought back some great memories.

Yes, in the 70s Queen were considered a heavy band, and were part of the early Heavy Metal movement. They influenced; Metallica, Guns n Roses, Nine inch Nails, Def Leppard,Foo Fighters and more. Mostly due to Brian's seering tone on his guitar and Freddie's incredible range.

The first Queen song most of us heard and it still rocks. This was one of my gateway tunes to harder rock along with Grand Funk - We're An American Band.

One of those songs that in retrospect just seems miraculous that it was written! It's amzazingly creative and....good! So melodic, so much care put into it. Enjoyed your reaction, Ace! You appreciate Freddie. Hard rock?....sort of but not really...their hardest stuff was their earliest stuff.

Queen could, & did. Do all styles of music. They are a genre unto themselves.

The sound at " dynamite with a Lazerbeam. " I believe was called a phase shifter. It was used quite a bit in the 70's

This song was the first I heard from Queen. BTW, Queen is the band. The singer is Freddie Mercury, and the guitarist is Brian May. Part of the lore is that he made his own unique guitar. As far as the generations go, my understanding is that Queen is the most appreciated old band. Not the Beatles, Stones, Who, etc. But Queen.

Yeah, Brian had gotten a few remnants of discarded guitar parts and constructed his own unique guitar

❤LOVE QUEEN!!!👑 Please react to: -Stone Cold Crazy -Somebody to Love (live) -Crazy Little Thing Called Love (original video)

If you really want to see Freddie, Sir Brian, Roger and John in action check out anything from their concert in Montreal 1981...Somebody to Love comes to mind.

This was one of the first singles that I ever had, after Eleanor Rigby and Yellow Submarine by The Beatles, and SOS by Abba. I was in grade school and I was just astonished by the Wizardry of it, how creative it was, trying to figure out the lyrics because they had such a sing-songy but really cool kind of Rhythm to them. Everything about it was great, and I instantly became a queen fan. And yes, Freddie Mercury was actually known as one of the best at interacting with the audiences. Kind of like Elvis Presley before that. The fan is fine. I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out, and there's certainly no reason for you to have to even be hotter by not running the fan. The only thing I can hear when the music isn't playing are the cicadas and crickets or whatever they all are, which we get a lot of here in Kansas. I personally find it comforting.

Brings back great memories. I was 18 years old when this record came out. A great hit. A real Masterpiece.

In concerts, Freddie certainly does look at the crowd. He's very engaging with them. Always focused on his audience. Chit-chatting with them, getting them to participate. Btw, was "theatrical" the word you were looking for ?

PLEASE do "Killer Queen/I'm In Love With My Car" live from Montreal! You will get to hear Roger Taylor's voice! Amazing!

I think this was in the 70's, when you see how they are dressed!! Still fabulous band as usual!!!!!

50 year old genius, but timeless.

I was 11 when this came out and was just blown away by it. This was the break through song for Queen then.

Absolutely! Opera is a great comparison. It's like old melodies (1920s 1930s) turned into rock (rock opera) It's similar to other progressive bands: a combination of different styles.

I like how you said that.... paraphrasing of course... but. " it's got to be on the Inside before it comes out " Freddie has said, he just feels the music and moves to it, so you were very Insightful 😊

So you've never reacted to Bohemian Rhapsody? Loving your reaction 😊. The lead singer is, as I'm sure you know by now, Freddie Mercury. You seem to refer to him as Queen, but its the name of the entire band

I think Freddie's hair was the same in Bohemian Rhapsody.

I recommend anything from Montreal 1981 especially somebody to love and save me. You must watch the Wembley show. I potentially liked who wants to live forever, one vision and really anything else. Queen changed over the years and they didn’t really have a specific genre everything from, every metal, progressive rock, rock, opera, ballads, and on and on. At Wembley, they did a fabulous rock medley, so much fun, I agree with the others live aid is a musty. It is considered the best concert in history 20 minutes. It goes by very very fast. By the way, Lady Gaga took her name from one of the songs radio gaga. Have fun.

My favorite Queen song! Freddie had hair like this in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Queen was many toners, and had many styles❤❤❤please react to Live Aid Concert 1985, truly Great❤❤❤❤Freddie Forever

Queen is it's own genre, all 4 of them wrote songs they have such an enormous catalog of music 🎶

Try a deep cut by Queen called White Man from the 1976 album A Day At The Races😮😊PLEASE PLAY LOUD!

Great reaction! MORE QUEEN! 👑🔥😊

Best voice of all time. Don't matter what Genre.

One of my fave Queen songs

I’ve never been able to hear your fan, any of the times you’ve mentioned it!

One of Freddies Their first single to chart no 2 uk

This may be my favorite Queen song (yeah, I know, Bohemian Rhapsody is iconic).

One of Freddies No 2 uk Their first single earlier that year no 10 uk Freddies seven seas of rhye

My favorite Queen song!

He has the same hair in the classic video Bohemian Rhapsody. This and that in my top ten all-time.

It was the start of the glam rock era and Freddie was a very proud gay man even back then so it showed in his performances maybe that's why he wanted the band to be named "Queen" even though the other guy's were straight Just maybe

A great song! I was 4 lol great reaction ❤🙏

If you had reacted to the original, and classic, video that Queen made for Bohemian Rhapsody, instead of a bunch of inferior cover versions, you would have already seen Freddie and the other members of Queen with long hair. Do it!

That sound you couldnt describe was flanging.

I’ve loved this song for decades, but this is the first time it struck me that she never kept the same address AS HER MALE ALTER EGO. Duh! Not sure why I never realized that before!

Their long haired songs are far superior to the short haired songs

As a die hard Queen fan, IMHO, I disagree.... their later work is much better! Their Wembley concert is literally a work of art! But, I may be a lot younger than you.. I don't know. We also have our own opinions! lol

Theatrical I think was your adj mental grab
