He was absolutely fantastic. I don't think I've ever met anyone who disliked Queen.

If you are still wondering, Lady Godiva was a medieval noble woman who rode through the streets of Coventry, England naked. The people were suffering from her husband’s excessive taxes, he said he would repeal them if she rode naked through the streets, which she did! 🇬🇧❤️ great reaction!

@@mariagrant2072 The Queen Effect goes by generation, too! I became a Queen fan in the late 70's/early 80's because my parents were always listening to them and the Beatles, so it was natural that my favourite records as a kid - then again as a teen, and among my faves as an adult - were Sgt. Pepper and Night At The Opera. Now I see it as part of my duties as an Official Cool Auntie to introduce my nieces to great music. I've got them started on Bowie and Queen, so it's going well so far! ;)

Seriously hope you've listened to more Queen since this. Truly iconic, singular band.

Freddie was great, he had no boundaries. that is why he was such a good front man.

You wondered about Lady Godiva?...she was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who lived in the eleventh century...her husband imposed a tax on his tenants...so she rode naked through the streets of Coventry to force her husband to stop the taxes...there is a statue of her in Coventry...ask Google🤩

Loved queen since I was very little my biggest regret is never seeing Freddie live .

Scientists decided this is one of the happiest songs ever. Not sure how, but I won't disagree.

You'd enjoy "Somebody To Love" live in Montreal and "Queen Live Aid". They stole the show.

You]re absolutely right about the originality of the lyrics...These guys were amazing musicians and song writers all in the song writer's Hall of Fame...they were all college educated with the main guitarist a Doctorate in astro-physics...two of them were real family men...more Queen pls....want to see Freddie in action react to UNDER PRESSURE and ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST live at Wembley...and of coarse the greatest live performance SOMEBODY TO LOVE , live in Montreal......

I spent my 24th B-Day at the Queen Concert in Montreal. We drove 5000 miles return from Alberta to Quebec. Sadly, Freddie also passed on my birthday 10 years later in 1991. That concert, to this day, is the most memorable one I've attended.

Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe -Barcelona Watch Queen Live at Wimbley first and then Freddy and Montserrat mind blown trust me

Queen lost fans when rumours first came out that Freddie was gay, and again when they release the video for I Want To Break Free because they were all dressed in drag. I can’t believe anyone would cut themselves off from such amazing and beautiful music. Thank you for reacting to Queen.

Queen does not usually block their videos so don't worry about that too much. I love this song , it takes me to my happy place. These guys were and are awesome writers, their music is timeless. On Queen's live stuff, there is a lot of movement on the stage, that is kind of their signature, that and getting the audience into it. Queen is actually better live than on these official videos. I love this band! not a bad song in their catalog and so many hits that you actually know but had no idea who wrote them and performed them. Thank you for your reaction.

The beauty of Queens music is that it was made to be sung by crowds or just groups of people. When you have 50,000 people singing this in unison it’s the most magical, positive and soul lifting experience imaginable

Queen live at Wembley!!!

Guaranteed, if you jump into the Queen catalog, you will have a musical experience of a lifetime! And yes, your channel will grow with some of the most amazing people you'll ever want to meet, Queen fans old and new! I absolutely love watching and listening to folks like you discover Queen & Freddie Mercury for the first time. ❤ your reaction! I bet you didn't know that all 4 in the band are highly educated as well, the lead guitar Brian May is an astrophysicist, yep,, Dr Brian May best guitarist IMHO in the world.

Freddy was one of the greatest singers, not just in rock, but in the entirety of musical history. Absolutely perfect control of his voice.

You should review Queen's performance at Live Aid. It is considered the best live rock performance in history.

The best feel-good song of my life, along with "Sultans of Swing" from Dire Straits, these are just making me happy anytime, anywhere. Music is the best!

My favorite song, thank you for playing it.

Please, please, please react to Somebody To Love live in Montreal 1981. You won’t be disappointed. Roger Taylor the drummer has an outstanding voice as well

Freddie had the greatest rock star voice EVER. There are other amazing singers as well but we all know they couldn’t top Freddie. And he had the most amazing charisma, swagger and stage presence. The band was so tight as well. Such an awesome song and group. Great review.

This song never fails to bring the biggest smiles...it's such a happy song. Great reaction!!!

Their lyrics are so creative. When I was a kid music and books were a way for me to learn things that school didn’t teach. If I didn’t understand something in lyrics I’d ask my parents. If they didn’t know or want to explain, I would look it up. All my books had notes in the margins for words I had to look up. Music is such an important thing for us all and especially our children. I love watching reaction channels and seeing people react to all different kinds of music. It’s so wonderful when we can open up to things we’re not used to. Sorry for the rambling message

You can look it up online, this song has been voted the happiest song on Earth!! Love your reaction!

You have got to watch Queen at Iive aid an absolute must

Queen are legendary. The four members are perfection. I would suggest “somebody to love”. And always, always review their live performances. That is the true test. If a band cannot be on point in a live performance then they are shit.

Love you smiling! This is what Queen evokes.

May I suggest Somebody to Love, the studio version first then the live at Montreal one. You will really see how tight they were. Loved your reaction.

Brilliant Song..... Spread your wings Another mover!

Their stage presence was unprecedented. Freddie had control over a crowd nobody has ever had before or since. Watch Live Aid

You need to see them in the 1985 Live Aid Full set.

i also love the way your entire head grooves to QUEEN music, even your eyebrows get into your wonderful smile while you reactn to their music honestly

He was well educated..the same as the rest of the band......he grew up with docter who..and star trek..haha...he knew the way of the world.....Legend..we miss you.

I LIKE that you comment them to be a tight band! They are musicians and they feed off of each other - the drummer think that drumsoloes are boring - he prefers to play to the music - be a part - of the whole band - in beautiful harmony with the bass.

you need to see them live video is one thing but live they are awesome

Here's a fun facts about Freddie since you are so into Queen. He has a serious overbite because he has extra teeth and would NOT get it fixed, afraid it would affect his voice. The way he held his mouth, his head, made his sounds higher. Also he had ventricular folds on his voice box that were unusual that he used although he had not had voice lessons to learn how to use them. Unfortunately, with all the touring he developed nodes on his voice box and in later years his voice, if over- used would crack. He was told not to perform Live Aid and went out and gave the performance of his life. It was said they stole the show. They were on the downside of their career, and this brought them back on the map. Sadly, when on tour, Freddie got the diagnosis...Aids. But, when he got sick, he had rested voice and could still sing those notes. He was a performer until the end. And we still have Freddie's wonderful voice with us.

Queen doesn’t usually stay in place. Watch any concert and you will see a show like no other!! Freddie controls a 100k crowd of people like there were 10. Check out Wembley 1985. A show like no other!! Of course Their live aid concert was considered the best rock concert ever!

Freddie did more moving about stage in other performances. You should watch Quuen's set at Live Aid.

Queens music always makes me happy and sad because Freddie was gone too young. He was something so different and wonderful but they are all wonderful. Each member was a star in their own right.

That was real talent!

Hello from Cody Wyoming! You're awesome keep it up.😁welcome to the Queen rabbit hole

ok, for the next songs you HAVE to do the live versions, especially from the '1985 Live Aid at Wembley Stadium'. you'll seriously be pissed if you don't. trust us 🌟 ps. it's kinda reductive to say this, but it sorta gives perspective: the saying goes "the only other person who rivaled Freddie Mercury in showmanship was Michael Jackson".

welcome to the rabbit hole...and we sure enjoy it with you 😀 you know more of their songs than you think!

Great reaction man! MORE QUEEN! 😊👑🎸🥂

Welcome to Queen and beloved Freddie.

If you want to hear a whole crowd singing it look it up on a greenday gig it's fantastic.

In an interview with Brian May, he revealed that he had mixed feeling about the song, written by Freddie. May said it was about Freddie's "stuff". They were in the cusp of Freddie and Queen's fame. Funny that Queen plus Lambert play it regularly. The lyrics are R rated; I'm a se- machine waiting to reload.....It is on a commercial now very watered down.

Lady Godiva was an ancient English noblewoman from the 10th century who famously rode naked on a horse through the streets of Coventry :D

Stone cold crazy is my fav! Well worth a listen. Queen is amazing! Freddy is the GOAT!

Dude its cool when someone sees with a fresh pair of ears...

another great reaction! Keep going with Queen videos and keep having your mind blown. ❤️✌️

The whole band...Freddie, Roger, John and Brian were amazing songwriters, musicians and singers. Freddie was the perfect front man..with his stage presence. My older sisters had The Beatles ❤ and we all had Queen. ❤ 🇬🇧xx

Absolutely love watching you respect and enjoy Queen! My fave since forever (saw them live in 1977 for $7). Albums used to come with liner notes and it was so cool to sit with my dictionary every time a new Queen album came out. You are spot on about how the performance is focused on the music. It’s a shame big venue music is so over produced and focused on solo acts now. Back in the day it was so much more about bands, appreciating the contribution of each musician. They were musicians, not musician/dancers. I recommend you check out their song “Killer Queen”-my favorite lyrics (from their more commercially successful songs anyway). Keep enjoying!

Scientifically. Stated as the happiest song

Hey Greg! Just subbed, keep the Queen tunes coming! Oh, and welcome to the rabbit hole... you call them a "tight" band: Even though Freddie died 31 years ago, the band is still together and touring!! Queen and Adam Lambert are on tour now, and just played at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!! Another song you might recognize is "Under Pressure" or "The Show Must Go On"... both Queen classics. Another song to acknowledge their talents is an old song of theirs called "Liar" and "Stone Cold Crazy"... thanks again for great reactions...blessings.

They were way ahead their time

I love how happy you are listening to this genius!

Saw Queen on their Fat Bottom Girls Tour 77/78. Girl from school and i screamed the whole time in between singing of course. good times!TY

Greg ur the best!..love your reactions

This is rated the happiest song on earth.

Dragon Attack and Another One Bites the Dust both live from Montreal concert 1981 are excellent. The band encouraged audience participation. When you watch their Live Aid 1985 performance, you will see the audience of 72,000 at Wembley, London singing every song along with Freddie, and his "call and response" with the audience is hard to resist joining in as though you are there with them. Live Aid was sent around the World by satellite with an estimated audience of 1.5 to 2 billion watching. It had most of the top bands, each given just 18 minutes to perform, to raise relief funds for famine in Ethiopia. Queens usual concerts were about 2 hours long. We are enjoying your discovery and appreciation of Queen. Well done!

Good to see somebody who really gets Queen. You got the finer points. Thanks enjoyed your reaction

This may be my favorite song by Queen.

Your so cute ...Queen rock Gods 🥰

So much to discover with Queen. All four of them wrote great songs, all of them sang (Freddie had 90% of the lead vocals, but the harmonies were great, too). And for the first seven albums (through "Jazz") it was all natural instruments, no mechanical drums or synthesizers. Pure brilliance Everybody will name the big hits, so let me campaign for a few lesser-known songs, all by Brian May (guitar) "Brighton Rock" (on which Brian invents his famous speed-panning guitar technique) "Now I'm Here" (do this live, perhaps from Houston in 1975 or London in '79; Freddie really interacts with the audience) "Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together)". I keep trying to describe this and failing, so let me just say "love song" and let you discover the rest. "The Prophet's Song". (Brian's equivalent to Freddie's "Bohemian Rhapsody' only longer and even crazier. You'll love it.) Keep digging!
