Welcome to the music of the greatest band of all time! Queen has a huge fan base so keep ‘em coming. They are probably the most diverse band ever. They all wrote songs and each of them wrote huge hits. If you’ve ever heard We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions, then you’ve heard their music. They have some of the most iconic songs in music history ❤. I definitely recommend reacting to Somebody To Love live in Montreal from 1981. It is fantastic! Queen is so good live that their live music is actually better than the studio versions

You should really listen to this song with both headphones on. This song in particular, has back and forth parts where it goes from one headphone to the next. So you need both for the full surround experience. Good reaction & commentary. I loved what you said about ‘the killing’ feeling different across various genres. 😁

In the song, the 'man' he 'killed' was himself, .... what he couldn't pretend he was any longer. He felt sad that it would make his mother cry to lose the son she thought she had, but he wasn't that man, he hid his real self.

Queen is : Freddie Mercury : Lead Vocals, Piano Brian May: Guitar, Backing Vocals Roger Taylor : Drums, Backing Vocals John Deacon: Bass That’s a breakdown of their MAIN Roles in the band. -All 4 men are proficient in multiple instruments besides their main ones. -All 4 men are songwriters, have major hits credited individually as songwriters, and all inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame - 3 of the 4 are very good singers and have sung leads at times (only the bassist John avoids singing and never took leads) Completely aside from their musical talents, all 4 are very educated and intelligent! - Freddie Mercury earned a certificate in Art and Graphic Design, created Queen’s crest logo - Roger Taylor began his studies in Dentistry at the London Hospital Medical College , “got bored” and switched schools/majors, ultimately earning his BSc in Biology at East London Polytechnic - John Deacon earned a First Class Honours (roughly equivalent to the US granting ‘Summa Cum Laude’ /highest honors) in Electronics from Chelsea College (University of London), then at least began working towards a Master’s degree in Acoustics and Vibration Technology (it’s unclear from my reading whether he completed it) - Brian May is truly impressive: After earning his BSc in Mathematics and Physics at Imperial College (University of London), he began working on his PhD in Astronomy (now called Astrophysics) - but he left behind his PhD program to go become a legendary rock guitarist. BUT after Freddie’s death, he took back up his studies in the mid-00’s and finally (and legitimately, not honorary) earned that PhD in Astrophysics in 2007 with his thesis “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud” , more than 30 years after he left it . Nowadays, when he’s not shredding guitar on stages worldwide, he does things like collaborating with NASA and the European Space Agency!

Let’s now add a knighthood to Brian’s list of accomplishments. So now it is now Sir Dr Brian May. Lol. Let’s not forget he built his guitar with his dad from a mantle and a table from his home. John built a one of a kind amp called the “The Deacy Amp” all of Brian’s cool sounds are from the amp John Deacon built. (Bass Player).

Live Aid is a MUST. That performance is considered the greatest live Rock performance in history.

I remember so well when this was released just before Christmas 1975. We were all totally gobsmacked by it, nothing like it had been seen or heard before. A complete game changer. Goodness knows how many thousand times I've seen and heard it over the years but it is always just as good as the first time. Freddie is THE best frontman of any band ever. So much good musice down this rabbit hole, enjoy.

Without both earphones on, did you catch the panning during the song

Can't believe you had the one earphone off your ear! They it mixed to go back and forth between the 2 speakers.

Another poster commented the sell price of Freddie's suit. Let me add to that the snake bracelet you can see on close-up at the piano sold for 881,00. USD. Freddie's handwritten manuscript for this song sold for 1.7 MILLION USD! Queen is kind of a big deal 👑

Freddie's family is Zoroastrian, maybe that is why you recognize the word used. Not sure of course. You should watch the 1985 Live AID Queen set in full. All acts were aloud 20 min sets and the rotated between London and Philadelphia. The time actually goes by quickly. There were 72,000 people in London and 100,000 people in Philadelphia. The concert was broadcast live to 1.5 billion people for the drought and famine in Africa/Ethiopia.

Farouk Bulsara was born in 1946 in Zanzibar. He is a Parsi Indian (Zoroastrian Persian that fled Persia to India when it was taken over by Arabs in 7th century). His dad worked for the Sultan of Zanzibar and had to flee with his family during the 64 Zanzibar Revolution, and settled in Middlesex England. He learned the piano as a child when he was sent to boarding schools in India that were modeled after British schools. He changed his name to Freddie Mercury in the late 60's before forming Queen in 1970 with Brian May and Roger Taylor and he always said that was when he was truly born. He attributed his amazing 4 octave range to his pronounced overbite and refused to have surgery to fix it once Queen became hugely popular and he could afford it. Queen is often voted the UK's favorite band, beating even the Beatles.

Epic song from a true legend. The changes in emotions are so great. First sadness, then panic about execution, then anger, then giving up. It's genius! Freddy was a genius!

That white outfit with the short vest and winged forarms and legs just sold for about $65,000. 😍❤

When Freddy sings about killed a man, he means himself, his OLD self, he'd just come out!

Some artists are so much a part of our lives and our souls. Such a part of our culture. There are the ones who rise to the very top. Mostly because we know who they are. They live their lives in front of us. We see their hurts and their successes. Some will always work their way into our psyche because they sing their experience. Elvis; we always knew what what was happening in his life by the songs he chose to sing. He shared that with us. Freddy: EVERYBODY knew what was happening with Freddy! He poured it out in music. Brad Paisley; One of my favorites because if he’s happy, you’re happy. If he’s sad he’ll cheer you up. We could go on all day about those. There are so many. Swift had taken it to a level no one had ever seen.

I love this song, thank you!

If you really want to experience another great performer, Johnny Cash does a song titled Hurt. It is a cover. It is his goodbye after 60 or 70 years performing.

Yes pls go down the Queen rabbit hole

In my opinion, music like this has an opera feel to it. Classic opera music is often a story of love and life and death. The name of this album is A Night at The Opera. The entire album is a wonderful piece of music. If you listen to the entire album and keep the underlying theme in mind you will have quite an experience. This album was released in 1975. Followed a year later with Queen A Day at the Races. Also an incredible piece of music. Both are worth a listen. Thanks for your video!

This song was made for headphones you should really listen with both on.

Also WHO Wants To Live Forever at Wimbley! Omgosh right into your soul beautiful!!

Thank you for reacting to Queen. I just now im my 20's+ listened to them.

You were spot on in your perception of how the lyrics are presented make a huge difference. Great reaction; hope to see more 🥰

I just came across your channel and did subscribe. I appreciate your reaction having been a Queen fan forever. I saw them live 3 times with Freddie when I was a kid and never left the band. BTW, the first chorus is all Freddie Mercury. You need to do more Queen reactions. Songs like White Queen and Somebody to Love (the live versions) will showcase the talent of these guys, especially Freddie. Freddie died 32 years ago and Adam Lambert now sings the lead but the music is so awesome that new fans are onto them.

Deep, dark song. Mysterious meaning. The real meaning of the song died with Freddie Mercury.

It kinda starts with a synopsis in acapella and his concern of eternal condemnation. Then It's him confessing to his mother to what he did and expressing the remorse and resulting consequences and perhaps true feelings all while not wanting her to feel bad and to go on with life. Then later in the change up he seems to give a backstory as to the whys and hows that caused him to shoot w/out saying exactly what happened. And the closing dirge of tragedy.

Freddy was the GREATEST front man ever! So passionate in his music & had his audience just as much

Hello from Cody Wyoming 😊you're awesome keep it up...all are welcome to the rabbithole of Queen... put your seat belt on

Его глаза …. Я влюбилась

A masterpiece!

This was 1975 when I was a teen. No autotune, no digital filming and a major masterpiece. This song is still played as if it were the number one hit it was back then. Rock opera at its finest.

A "rhapsody" is a combination of MANY different tunes. George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue is the prime example!

Queen, the greatest band ever.

check out love of my life in Rio. The crowd surprises them and after that other crowds do it too. Its awesome. also check out what is said to be the best concert in history even to this day, queens live aid concert. its 20 minutes but do the whole thing and all of us Queen fans will watch it from start to finish even when we have seen it 50 times. Thank you for the reaction. I only found you because of you reacting to Queen but I will watch other reactions like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, or any of the 60's or 70's bands. love them all.

I don't know if anyone else said this to you yet or not, but the man he killed in the song is really his own image having to hide being gay and not wanting to hurt his mother.

Great reaction! I subbed as soon as I heard you say oh no when he said he killed a man. This band is famous for their transitions and different musical genres in one song. This was considered groundbreaking at the time because of those things and also the unusually long length of the song. The record company didn’t want it released and asked the band to cut the song down. But Freddie Mercury, the singer and writer of the song said no we never compromise artistically. So the song was released this way and really put Queen on the map.

He's singing about facing the death penalty for killing someone but it is a metaphor because the person that he killed is himself. Rip Freddie Mercury

Hello. Welcome to Queen! We have a national anthem then there’s Bohemian Rhapsody! Check out the greenday crowd in Hyde Park

You said you’re Muslim. Old lady responding. 58 years old. Only fools can’t accept and respect another persons choice to praise God. There is one and I respect all ways of worship. Love you as a reaction person to music!!!! Love you for sharing patty

it sounds better in stereo than mono in one ear.

I knew someone else would say something about the headphones. This song especially is a 2 ear job. Among thousands of other songs. Never know why people do that. Half the experience.

I absolutely love this song and it really hit hard when I first found out what this song is actually about, this is about when Freddie Mercury contracted the AIDS virus.

Yes Freddie Mercury is like the British,Prince ,the artist if can look for Prince doves cry, maybe you can see what I’m talking about

Other commentators have made some good suggestions BUT do NOt do Q ueen at Live Aid Queen ( considered the greatest live performance in rock music history) Until you get to know Q ueen better. It'll be the icing on a cake).Before you do SOMEBODY TO LOVE live at Wembley ( a mind-blowing performance) do, Bohemian Rhapsody ( same concert, one of their best in 1981) live in Montreal. Not only is it fantastic but it illustrates the differences between their 70s and 80s style, especially Freddie's vocals. By the way the person he kills is himself.

Excellent song

A very good review. Thank you. "LIAR" from their 1974 televised BBC Live at the Rainbow is excellent as is "WHITE QUEEN" from their 1975 televised Christmas Eve BBC program. Both were innovative and showcased their outstanding talent.

No auto tune. Just precise musicianship.

Well As-Salaam Alechem Brother! Freddie's family were Zoroastrian, which is practiced in Iran, and his family were Parsi-Indian, and he was born in Tanzania. The Brother was deep!

great reaction

New subscriber to your channel really enjoy your honest reaction to this type of music coming from Hip Hop I wish you would look at Live Aid concert 1985 Queen you will be blown away❤❤❤❤Freddie Forever

Human experience is random yet choreographed with our own circle of life. (Our own hood and our lived experience). We verbalize in the ways we know. We project our own hurts and triumphs in art. Freddy in a nutshell.

Freddie also sang opera and wrote the same, I believe.

If you haven't seen the movie to this song. In your country You won't regret it. Its phanomenol 💯

Use both ears, its a tip, this song is an experience with surround stereo

AWESOME REACTION Bro but you might want to hear both side of your headphones since they are known for left and right melodies. Just saying. GOD bless.

Glad you enjoyed the stereo effects through one headphone

"The March of the Black Queen" from their second album Queen II has more sections than Bohemian Rhapsody, you may find it really strange at a first listening, but trust me, the more you'll listen, the more you'll find how music, instruments and voices create something unique. Warning: in Queen II the tracks fade one over the other, so you may find a cut version or a complete one with the first notes of the next song coming out. You also won't be disappointed if you react to the live version of "Somebody to love" in Montreal 1981.

sweetie this is not a good song, it's BRILLIANT!!! :)

One of the best rock bands ever but you should react to the greatest, Led Zeppelin

Me encanta cuando escuchan Queen por primera vez ☺ Other Queen Suggestions: - Don't stop me now (amazing) - Innuendo (a very deep song) - Another one bites the dust (very rhythmic) - Who wants to live forever/official video (a sad and beautiful song) - Somebody to love /official video (amazing voices) - I want it all (very strong) - Under pressure - We are the champions - Save me - A kind of magic - You´re my best friend - Its a hard life ¡Saludos, desde Argentina!

Freddie Mercury was from Zanzibar, and he was not Muslim, but his family were Zoroastrian, so I feel like he would have been at the very least familiar with words like Bismillah, just by ways of culture. Zanzibar is in actual Tanzania, and is like 97% Muslim. His real name was Farrokh!

You’ll want to listen with the headset on both your ears. You’re missing a lot, trust me. 😊

Watch Pentatonix’s cover of this, its amazing.

You need to watch it again but with your head phones on as you missed some subtle undertones.

Assalamu alaykum. Great reaction. Dive deep into Queen. You’ll probably find that you know a few of their songs.

I get ya ❤

PLEASE check out the Live Aid concert! It will be the most entertaining 20 minutes you’ve had in a long time!! LEGENDARY 🥰🎶

You need both head phones over ears you missed out

It is thought that the man Freddie killed in the song was his previous self when he came out of the closet and told his mother he was gay.
