5sos - Reaction - Killer Queen & The Making of Killer Queen

[@W0rdsandMus1c]

As a 66 year old fan of Queen and 5SOS, I love the fact that they show people that they are more than capable of recording the same way now, Freddie recorded with all of them, they could all harmonise, so many older fans always running down today's artists "they can't sing the same today, they can only sing with auto tune" I have a large record collection, but newer artists are over taking my 1970s artists, just wish I could convince my friends to give them a listen.

And the "But is it balsamic?!" meme is born!

[@noshamezzy281]

Fun Fact : back in 2016 Brian May of Queen watched their concert in Estonia, there's a photo of them together. And i think they have Brian May number, that's why Luke saying "let's send it to Brian"

[@yaravandijk7236]

little fun fact, they recorded the vocals on red dessert the same way :)

[@graciepalmer5253]

The craziest thing is, I've been listening to the original Killer Queen for the past 20 years, and Michael's "fastidious and precise" is the first time I could understand those lyrics!

'Sounds good, feels nice?!'

[@katehakanson310]

More like Sounds good, feels good 😏

[@soniachapple3141]

The element you recognise that are 5SOS are cos they used the backbeat of their song Youngblood as the backing drums for Killer Queen. It’s why it sounds slightly different to Queen and yet so recognisable of 5SOS. Love their version of this classic and the behind the scene video is epic 🙌🏼

[@maelisols]

Queen and 5sos are iconic !!! I really hope soon you can react to more content of them to watch how hilarious is Calum too. Great reaction!

[@justlike1olivia]

you definitely gotta watch their tour diaries if you wanna see more calum they all are literally just messing around all of the time

[@Rachel-pj5pw]

Suffi: It feels good, sounds nice Excuse me, don't you mean sounds good feels good? XD

[@suffireax]

So close yet so far

[@skyla_van_porche]

i really enjoyed seeing your reaction 😊

[@MorganeFichter]

Another reactor compared Killer Queen and Youngblood and they used the same guitar tone, snaps and bass line. In the background, I can't remember if that's just the bass with a synth on top of it or actually a bass synth! They cover the question in the queen movie: the whole band would do the harmonies and because at the time they didn't have the software to correct each pitch, they would do the take over and over until it was perfect! Surrounded by his best friends, Calum is funny and playful! So many memes came out of the making of killer queen haha

[@darksouls47]

Blake Mclain did the exact same thing too, but the opposite. He watched the making of first, and then song. He did point out that in the intro is the exact same as youngblood but a little sped up, they still did a little different in Killer Queen and how Queen made the song originally. So, the kick drum and the guitars in the intro is the same sample from Youngblood.

[@paulovemx2222]

The sound you can't figure out it's most likely a synth bass or a bass with a pedal effect, it's what I could recognize from my love for bass and my zero experience from music production.

[@julieclare37]

omg pls pls do the tour diaries! they date all the way back to 2015, so if you started with the sounds live feels live diaries and did all the ones leading up to youngblood that would be so fun

[@gunjanagrawal2297]

I LOVE THIS SM

[@mary_v2023]

The movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", from 2018 with Rami Malek, is really cool to see how Queen came about. It will answer your question on how they made the song. Check that out if you haven't.

[@viridianasolis1029]

You should react to Panic! At The Disco - Bohemian Rhapsody live from the death of the bachelor tour it's really good 🥰

[@namayra299]

Oh yes!! I go back to watch it every few months. It's amazing

[@Fineisfine]

Yeah, I always enjoy your reactions, thank you😇

[@yazisacarousel6702]

Loving this

[@baking_soda_kat4961]

0:59 the guitar in the background is taken from youngblood, same with the drums at 1:21

[@kattybadoie9205]

you need to react to little mix, the best girlgroup in the world!!! pls do "secret love song" live at the search, you'll be amazed!!

[@talia9778]

Great reaction! You should definitely react to the Queen movie ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’

[@xy5267]

You really missed the opportunity to say sounds good feels good at 1:31

[@naem.]

Exactly what I thought

[@LilSmokeyboo3000]

FREDDIE MERCURY IS NUMBER 1 !!!

[@rida_17_39]

Please, could you react to IT AINT ME and FETISH by selena gomez

[@girasol3208]

could you react to shawn mendes under pressure cover with teddy giger, these are part of a group of covers that different artists made of the band queen

[@elbiyonder21]

Please react to Atlantic extended version video, bedshaped or black burning by KEANE.. Masterpieces!!!

[@harshmiyani2832]

I think the original is far better than this ..no one could replace queen and Freddie mercury 😍 ❤️

[@markrenton8245]

They replaced the original drums with a generic pop-beat. that weakens it most of all

[@nekorobin7028]

I love 5SOS so much and ofcourse u cannot replicate a original masterpiece, this is just more like their own version

[@soniachapple3141]

@@markrenton8245 they replaced the drums with the backbeat of their song Youngblood … mixing both era’s of music

[@darylclifford]

The song was recorded so that all proceeds would be donated to the Mercury Foundation Trust. The band paid for studio time, production costs and was liked by Brian May
