Did you know that Legendary Queen guitarist Sir Brian May, is also an astrophysicist with a PhD? He was also a "science team collaborator" with NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission. He not only collaborated with NASA on its New Horizons mission to Pluto but also created a rock anthem and video to honor the spacecraft, which in 2019 logged the most distant flyby in history-and is still going. Bass guitarist John Deacon, has a degree in Electronics. Drummer and backing vocalist Roger Taylor, has a bachelor's degree in biology. Freddie Mercury had a degree in graphic art and design.

Every one of their songs is like it's in it's own genre, truly insanely gifted group of musicians. I highly recommend doing a reaction to their entire Live Aid performance at Wembly. It's a bit long, but it's worth it. Truly one of the most powerful live performances in history.

Queen is actually considered to have done the greatest live set in musical history, when they took the stage at the Live Aid Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1985. The way Freddie had the audience in the palm of his hand has never been matched, at least on video. Every other band there that day, and there were some of the best ever, said that it was Queen's day and that they had never seen a crowd react like that before.

It definitely was a foreboding line, in retrospect. I feel the “man” he killed is himself. I feel it’s related to his original mental struggle of being gay in the face of loving Mary, his fiancé, and the expectations of his parents and the Zoroastrian faith. He made the decision to embrace his homosexuality and killed the old Freddie.

I play piano, have played the guitar and a number of other instruments, as well as having done some digital stuff as well. There is still plenty of talent (both with digital and traditional instruments), as well as there still being plenty of talented people. The issue isn't that it's disappeared, it's that people don't look deep enough. It's also worth noting that music composed digitally, like art done digitally, isn't easier. It's different, but still requires an intricate understanding of music to actually get anywhere with it.

They did the soundtrack for the Highlander movie starring Christopher Lambert. You should check out the song 'Gimme the prize' , it's REALLY good. The album is called ' A kind of magic'.

FINALLY! I have waited months for y’all to “open your eyes” to the greatness of Queen. Btw, if a commenter has not already said this, the opening “four heads” is not four voices. It is all Freddie harmonizing with himself. He was in a class by himself but as a band together, Queen’s studio harmonies are meticulous and masterful. With some exceptions, the live versions blow studio out of the water but both are incredibly & wonderfully different experiences. Please go down the Queen rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed.

A wise man once said : if you want to know if a person is worth to be part of your life then start playing "Bohemian rhapsody". If the person doesn't know the song and don't move or start showing any positive feelings for it, then kick it out of your life 😁😂Freddy Mercury was a genius. I cried a river as I saw the report about his death in the news as I was a teenager 😢😞I will never forget him and I know a lot of people won't do either. He gave the world a big gift.

Queen were truly lightning in a bottle. Every member was a master of their craft and every one of them penned at least one #1 song. Also: the guitar Brian May is playing in this video (and in plenty of others) is called the "Special Red" and was made by Brian and his dad out of an old fireplace 😂 hence its unique sound.

This song was insane to produce. All real vocals no editing software, live instruments and tape recordings or vinyls. The managers/producers etc didn’t want to release the song. Purely because it’s 4 distinct segments lasting like 8 minutes when a car radio song/vinyl track should only be 3 minutes max for resale value/physical space to have more songs. Freddie Mercury wrote the song and developed it like an opera. Not as a rock ballad initially because of his personal music tastes mixed with the story telling/dramatics of opera music. (Purposefully dramatic vocal rang a mix of instrumentals from piano accompaniment to percussion and strings and vocals, with typically dark subject/context) [the snow queen aria the ‘ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-haa-‘ one is about a step mother commanding her daughter to commit murder. It can be romantic operas but a flair for the dramatics is what makes a show a show in 1800-1900s] (While musicians don’t like to admit it, many composers who did violin the usual accompaniment for many operas/music they also did guitar works. It’s not hard to find guitar works that can sound similar to an opera melody/other type of song that fits with that style/instrument. They are strings and altho very different you can find overlap which makes Bohemian Rhapsody rather wild) And he forced the other band members to help complete it at a time when they were starting to have disagreements. While the falsetto is his voice and he sings the main vocals the second highest register is one of the other band members singing soprano which took multiple multiple takes.

Guys they were revolutionary - you should watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Its easy to forget Brian May made that guitar himself as a teen. Brian filled the wormholes with matchsticks as he carved out the neck. The center body of the Red Special was created from oak, the wood recycled from an old table. The sides of the guitar could be made of weaker material since they don't have to support the string tension - Insane right? The wood from an old table lol

Thanks to Quora: Freddie did not have operatic training. His only training came from being in choir in boarding school and taking piano lessons. Freddie was a self taught singer and worked very hard to practice and determine his best sound. He fell in love with Montserrat Caballé‘s operatic vocals, and when she asked to meet him, he and Mike Moran went to Barcelona to see her. They formed an immediate bond which led to the creation of the album. Barcelona Freddy sang in the tenor range, but Montserrat said he was a true baritone, and he sang that way for her.

Did you know that Legendary Queen guitarist Sir Brian May, is also an astrophysicist with a PhD? He was also a "science team collaborator" with NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission. He not only collaborated with NASA on its New Horizons mission to Pluto but also created a rock anthem and video to honor the spacecraft, which in 2019 logged the most distant flyby in history-and is still going. Bass guitarist John Deacon, has a degree in Electronics. Drummer and backing vocalist Roger Taylor, has a bachelor's degree in biology. Freddie Mercury had a degree in graphic art and design.
This song is a masterpiece. No other way to describe it.

Queen is actually considered to have done the greatest live set in musical history, when they took the stage at the Live Aid Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1985. The way Freddie had the audience in the palm of his hand has never been matched, at least on video. Every other band there that day, and there were some of the best ever, said that it was Queen's day and that they had never seen a crowd react like that before.

It definitely was a foreboding line, in retrospect. I feel the “man” he killed is himself.

He made the decision to embrace his homosexuality and killed the old Freddie.

There is still plenty of talent (both with digital and traditional instruments), as well as there still being plenty of talented people. The issue isn't that it's disappeared, it's that people don't look deep enough. It's also worth noting that music composed digitally, like art done digitally, isn't easier. It's different, but still requires an intricate understanding of music to actually get anywhere with it.

He fucked himself to death, a worthy end. Don't stop me now....
When asked by an interviewer what instrument he played, without missing a beat Freddie Mercury answered "the audience darling". Also he was a fashion designer, Brian May (guitarist) is an astrophysicist, John Deacon (bass player) is a sound engineer and Roger Taylor (drums) was or studied to be a dentist. They did the soundtrack for the Highlander movie starring Christopher Lambert. You should check out the song 'Gimme the prize' , it's REALLY good. The album is called ' A kind of magic'. I wore that album out from constant play in my teens. It's now a must have on my playlist. 😊

I was 10 when this came out. I was flabbergasted…. I’m forever a fan of the band, and a rabid fan of Freddie Mercury. I’ll miss him forever….
Freddie Mercury is the man. No other singer could command a crowd like he could. Queen’s performance at Live Aid in 1985 was unreal. That was almost 20 years before I was born, and I feel like I missed out. What a show.

That’s cool you love their music despite being too young to have seen that show . I was born in 77 and love 70’s music. So I feel I missed out on lots of 60’s and 70’s concerts . I’ve not been to as many concerts as I’d have liked to because my mom was strict and thought I’d get trampled . Mosh pits were a big thing when I was the age to go to concerts. So I had to sneak . 🤣. I was able to see Bad Company ( first concert) with my uncle and that was the only one I was allowed to go to cuz it was with my uncle. I love Bad Company. So that’s cool 😎

@@littlebeebs1 Yeah. Luckily my dad grew up in that era so I was one of the few in my generation who was introduced to this music. Ted Nugent, Bad Company, The Doors, George Thorogood, all of those guys. I've never been to a concert because he had settled down by the time I came along, but I hope to go one day in the future.

My 1st concert was Queen, 14 yrs old. BEST band ever! There'll never be another Freddy, you have to watch the LIVE AID concert - it'll blow your mind. All who played after Queen was like oh man now we have to go out there.
Loved the way you guys chatted before playing the song through without interrupting before speaking, your reactions the speak more than words
I was 23 when this came out in '75. Let me tell ya, it blew everybody away - nothing like it had ever been done in Rock. I'm so glad I was young in the '70s!

You see the way clearly now and bang your heads to that wicked beat! LOL. Great video gentlemen. It was by far the best part of my day, watching y'all enjoy this song again. :)
He had a gift & was a great song writer. The band was great together!!
Their 20 mins. On stage at Live Aid was Epic! Freddie even leads the audience in a vocal warm up. Freddie was advised by his doctor not to preform because he was having problems with his throat. We couldn't tell. Their will never be another Freddie Mercury.
Freddie was the greatest frontman of any rock band ever. Period.

Freddie Mercury and Queen were absolutely brilliant and so ahead of their time!
So glad you guys are truly appreciating the greatest that is Queen. Bryan May is the master of the guitar - he started the band with Freddie Mercury. Currently he is also known as Dr. May, renowned astrophysicist (he put his studies on hold after Queen's popularity exploded, but went back to get his PhD.). A phenomenal guy.

This song went to #1 4 different times in 4 different decades. That's all you need to really know about the greatness of this song
FINALLY! I have waited months for y’all to “open your eyes” to the greatness of Queen. Btw, if a commenter has not already said this, the opening “four heads” is not four voices. It is all Freddie harmonizing with himself. He was in a class by himself but as a band together, Queen’s studio harmonies are meticulous and masterful. With some exceptions, the live versions blow studio out of the water but both are incredibly & wonderfully different experiences. Please go down the Queen rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed.

St letting you guys know, Freddie Mercury had a 4 octave range in his voice.
Queen is One of the most Legendary bands in the world! Freddy Mercury and his voice is unmatched!!! When he performed he commanded the staged and the audience was was absolutely captivated by his voice and their music!! I'm very happy to see my home boys enjoying an ageless classic!
First of all: you guys crack me up!! Keep on, keepin’ on. I’m 71 yrs old and I remember the first time I heard this song and my reaction was “ what the hell was that?” I was blown away by the diverse styles thrown together in this song. Freddie Mercury’s voice, Brian May’s guitar, and the harmonies of the entire group was simply astounding. This song puts the “classic” in classic rock. Just an old guy’s opinion. 😉
Queen were truly lightning in a bottle. Every member was a master of their craft and every one of them penned at least one #1 song. Also: the guitar Brian May is playing in this video (and in plenty of others) is called the "Special Red" and was made by Brian and his dad out of an old fireplace 😂 hence its unique sound.
They are all great, talent is colorless and timeless.
Wow. I was floored when he said he’d never heard ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. People really be in their own bubbles 😅
Probably the most fun reaction i've seen from you guys! Because everybody has to have that Bohemian Rhapsody buddy moment at least once in their lives.
During their 17 or so minutes on stage at Live Aid they literally held the world in their hands. Nobody could work a crowd and hold them like Freddie Mercury. The Live Aid performance has been called by many the greatest rock performance ever. So glad you younger guys liked it!
This song is almost 50 years old, this is not a song this is ART spread by a genius one of the greatest most talented singer, performer ever. Even in extreme pain, could barely walk or stand he carried on right to the end to be THE BEST ever. Gone too soon but what a legacy he left. Love you for ever R.I P Freddie
This song was insane to produce. All real vocals no editing software, live instruments and tape recordings or vinyls. The managers/producers etc didn’t want to release the song. Purely because it’s 4 distinct segments lasting like 8 minutes when a car radio song/vinyl track should only be 3 minutes max for resale value/physical space to have more songs. Freddie Mercury wrote the song and developed it like an opera. Not as a rock ballad initially because of his personal music tastes mixed with the story telling/dramatics of opera music. (Purposefully dramatic vocal rang a mix of instrumentals from piano accompaniment to percussion and strings and vocals, with typically dark subject/context) [the snow queen aria the ‘ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-haa-‘ one is about a step mother commanding her daughter to commit murder. It can be romantic operas but a flair for the dramatics is what makes a show a show in 1800-1900s] (While musicians don’t like to admit it, many composers who did violin the usual accompaniment for many operas/music they also did guitar works. It’s not hard to find guitar works that can sound similar to an opera melody/other type of song that fits with that style/instrument. They are strings and altho very different you can find overlap which makes Bohemian Rhapsody rather wild) And he forced the other band members to help complete it at a time when they were starting to have disagreements. While the falsetto is his voice and he sings the main vocals the second highest register is one of the other band members singing soprano which took multiple multiple takes.

What gets forgotten to history is Queen's Another One Bites the Dust was a top of the Motown, Pop, Rock and a few more charts all at once. One of those rare songs that really crossed genre's and a diverse group of people liked. I use to laugh when people thought Queen lifted the bass line for Under Pressure not knowing that THEY CREATED A WHOLE DECADE EARLIER.

The power of Queen’s music is undeniable. Right up there with The Beatles.
It's great to do a revisit of this one, now that you understand the genre more. This is a good example of why this song needs to be heard at a certain point, just hearing it with no understanding it can be perceived as odd. no one should blame you for your first reaction, it was honest of where you were at that time.
Guys they were revolutionary - you should watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Its easy to forget Brian May made that guitar himself as a teen. Brian filled the wormholes with matchsticks as he carved out the neck. The center body of the Red Special was created from oak, the wood recycled from an old table. The sides of the guitar could be made of weaker material since they don't have to support the string tension - Insane right? The wood from an old table lol
I am loving the reaction, you are ALL fab and demonstrate pure joy!!!! ❤️GREAT!!!

Great reaction guys! I love that your doing some basic research before listening to legendary songs. Just an FYI- headphones/earbuds are a MUST for this song. Part of its appeal is the genius sound engineering sending different parts into different ears. Check it out with headphones and you’ll get what I mean. 🤘🔥

Thanks to Quora: Freddie did not have operatic training. His only training came from being in choir in boarding school and taking piano lessons. Freddie was a self taught singer and worked very hard to practice and determine his best sound. He fell in love with Montserrat Caballé‘s operatic vocals, and when she asked to meet him, he and Mike Moran went to Barcelona to see her. They formed an immediate bond which led to the creation of the album. Barcelona Freddy sang in the tenor range, but Montserrat said he was a true baritone, and he sang that way for her.
This is like the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. I needed this! You guys are awesome.
60's and 70's best music ever made by far .
