@@christinatyree2280 You’re absolutely right. Queen sued the sh!t out of Vanilla Ice and he had to pay them restitution for it. He changed a couple of notes in John’s riff but not enough! It got caught and Vanilla Ice melted!

The look on your face at the start of the song was priceless! Even though you'd just read about the controversy, you were shocked when you realized just how blatant dumbass Vanilla Ice's thievery really was. That gave me my biggest & best laugh of the day. Also, Freddie's "call & response" was usually well into the show, so even though it sounds like a warm-up it was really his way of interacting with the crowd (and including them), which is something he really loved doing. Just one more thing that made the man so special.💙 There's another variation on it at the start of the "Dragon Attack", Montreal '81 video. And the song is great too. Would love to see you react to it! And the studio version is so crisp (& funky) it'll knock your socks off.

I thought the same thing.. I mean when someone who has never heard the Queen song under pressure but has heard ice ice baby to immediately be able to tell that it is the same exact music really tells you something.. something that Vanilla Ice should have known (My thought is that he probably did but didn't want to have to credit anyone so he thought he could get away with not crediting Queen)

John Deacon played the bass, Roger Taylor played the drums, Brian May played the guitar and Freddie Mercury played the audience lol

It was in fact Deaky who started the jam session with those legendary bass notes. They were just hanging out with Bowie in the recording studio when the notes came to Deaky and he grabbed his bass and played them over and over. Then they went for pizza..... and Deaky forgot the notes!! LOL! Luckily Roger remembered them, and when Deaky played them again the rest of the band and Bowie joined him and.... a masterpiece was born!

Your reaction when you first heard that baseline. It was like, "My life is a lie!". That was cool, man.

Live attendance was around 72,000 people and the bit Freddie was doing at the beginning was just intended to get the crowd involved. He was a consummate showman and he knew how to magnetize the crowd. Queen's success was no mistake. It was designed and orchestrated by one man. Freddie was a genius.

Told you Under Pressure Live at Wembley would be awesome. Your reaction to identifying the baseline theft is priceless lol

I have to apologise because I burst out laughing watching you melt down when Deaky started playing the iconic bass line. (You have to wonder how stupid Vanilla Ice is. All of Deaky's bass lines are great, but Under Pressure and Another One Bites The Dust are particularly iconic and so well-known.) That said, it was so honest and refreshing to see that reaction, and I love your reactions a lot. You do research and go into it with a clear mind. I have suggestions for you!

I hated Ice Ice Baby so much when it came out because it was just one giant rip-off of this song. I think I remember years ago Weird Al hosting a special on MTV called "AL TV" where he played “Vanilla Ice's latest hit" and it was just Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin with an occasional "Yeah, boooooy" thrown in.

No dude, he would note to the crowd to hear them sing it back. Always. It's a stadium crowd. It's different to play to 100,000 than 100. We don't have stadium bands any longer that play their instruments and sing. He was just letting everyone there know he was singing to them. Subbed btw.

You are correct. It was the way Freddie prepared. Before sound checks, Freddie use to come out and "Ah, Oh, etc." to an empty stadium.

This was my 21st birthday and I got tickets off my girlfriend who is now my wife, it was a truly awesome day but Knebworth was just the best concert I have ever been to.

Deaky created that & Queen & Bowie were in the studio with him the first time he played it. The best version: the Making Of Under Pressure video & the Bowie & Annie Lennox version from Freddie 's 1992 Memorial Concert. Also listen to George Michael at that concert.

I use to tell me family and friends... This is my a Sample.!!!!

They had stopped and went to eat and had a few too many drinks. When they got back John couldn’t remember the riff! But thank goodness Roger did and so Under Pressure was created! Freddie does that with the audience to get them involved with him. Best frontman ever!!!

The live version really lets you see how much he loved music and the fans, he wanted so much to share it with the world. ❤❤ I've been singing, acting, dancing for about 12 years and the way he just strolled on stage and started doing his vocal warm ups with the crowd. That's something choir directors/ music teachers do all the time, because they love what they do and they can't wait to share the music and their enthusiasm with other people who are just as passionate about it as they are.

Two nights at Wembley and one more at Knebworth, and that was it for Freddie to perform live wIth Queen.
