There's something just frightening about taking a singer as respected and timeless as David Bowie, putting him next to Freddie and realising that the icon that is Bowie is COMPLETELY outclassed at the thing he's best known for. There aren't many people who can do that and even fewer can do it and not completely spoil the song by showboating but Freddie is about the only person who could do it all at once like this.

Sad thing is in the 90's he lost his ass for using that bass line. Where today if he did it he would just say he is sampling, and he would be fine.

[@Nightdominia]

@@DarthSoto78 Sampling usually comes with agreements for royalties or a flat sum to pay for a licensing right or something, if I am thinking correctly. Either way all artists/bands involved would get a paycheck and no legal BS would be necessary. Vanilla just tried to skirt the system that was in its infancy and he got called on it. Instead of going "My bad" and settling it, he kept up that it was not the same riff and he didn't have to pay.

[@DarthSoto78]

@@Nightdominia I don't know for sure. I just know sampling is way over used now a days, and the sad thing is most fans don't even know the original any more. Where back in the 90's when Vanilla did it we all where like "What the hell dude".

[@DravenGal]

Scott Stewart “Full of myself?” Wha.....? “Bragging about...?”” How is knowing about the biggest bands and singers in recent history being full of myself, let alone me having “cultural experiences? “ There was a time when I was a kid I hadn’t heard of them, but being there when MTV came into play and actually played almost primarily music videos, well, that helped a lot. But we didn’t have the internet or KZbin, which makes all the classic rocks bands even MORE accessible And these are WORLD famous bands and singers that have been around since the “60s! I know who Elvis and The Beatles are too, gee, guess that makes me a super snob. And ALL these I’m mentioning are about as mainstream rock and roll as you can get, they’re not shadowy indy bands that only a few people listen too. They transcend generations! It’s one thing to have not heard their music (which, since they’ve been around for over half a century would be rather difficult) and another to not have heard of them. Their names are in movies, books, TV...and all over KZbin! Oh, but whatever. I suppose there are people who don’t know what Star Wars or Star Trek are, though they’re probably in a 6|-10 year old range. Maybe you should try NOT living in a bubble and broaden your horizons. Also, I don’t follow Rap music. It’s an amazing art form, but a lot of it is too hard sounding for me, some of it downright violent. Same with some if the heaviest forms if heavy metal. I prefer to understand the lyrics, and would rather be able to enjoy voices, like Freddie Mercury’s and David Bowie’s. So no, not my thing, but no disrespect to rappers and rap fans, it’s awesome they love it! I know some of the older groups, like you’ve mentioned, and DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince (that’s what rap was like when I was a teen) but while I’ve heard of other artists, some of whose names are not all that “name-like” really, but some bands have weird names too, it’s all good. And if you think awareness of (and the enjoyment of) groups and singers that have been around longer than I have is bragging, so be it. But that’s kinda weird.

[@scottstewart5784]

@@DravenGal Why did you put quotes around "bragging?" I never said any such thing. I said stop being so full of yourself and your cultural experiences. Not that you were good at it, or bragging about being good at it, but rather you just assume everybody shares your experiences. You are so full of yourself that you cannot see that others have bubbles that don't overlap yours. Sorry for the confusion.

[@lynnhamps7183]

Writing credit for “Under Pressure” is shared between the four members of Queen (Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon) and David Bowie. Bowie’s account of the song is this: 'The song was written from the ground up on the night I visited their studio. I believe the riff had already been written by Freddie and the others so then we jointly put together the different chord sections to make it a cohesive piece of music. Then Freddie and I came up with our individual top line melodies. So when you hear Freddie sing, that's what he wrote and when you hear me sing, that was mine. Then we worked on the lyrics together. I still cannot believe that we had the whole thing written and recorded in one evening flat. Quite a feat for what is actually a fairly complicated song.'

[@robinq3638]

Thanks for sharing this bro, very interesting and important context, I appreciate it.

[@Mahlercougar]

I always thought it was John Deacon that was the main writer of Under pressure and the others were co-writers, but he was the main one. Please let me know (being that hes the bassist and that song is Bass driven)

SO TRUE! And well said. I heard someone say Mercury was a once-in-a-generation voice. But I’m starting to worry that he was once in a cosmos voice - a genetic anomaly never to be equalled. You can listen to George Michael performing “Someone To Love” and recognize what a fantastically beautiful voice he had, and how incredible his skill was in using it. Brian May even commented that there moments during that performance that were “pure Freddy”. But Mercury had an almost etherial quality that might not be duplicable, period.

[@scottwestergren8344]

When they were in the studio recording this song, John Deacon (bassist) came up with that iconic riff. Then, they all (including David Bowie) went to get pizza for lunch, but when they went back to the studio, John couldn't remember the riff he had played! Such a terrific story!

You do know that this is a mix of two different concerts. Someone took the Queen concert from 1986 and combined with a later date David Bowie concert, The song "Under Pressure" was the result of a jam session at the Queen recording studio Montreaux, Switzerland. David had a house near the studio and Queen was recording an album when he came for a visit. Freddie and David had become friends before either of them were famous. John Deacon had come up with the bass riff and they all thought it was good so they used it to create a song called "People on the Street" later renamed to "Under Pressure". Freddie and David, though friends, actually got into a bit of friendly competition with each other while writing this song. I believe Freddie hit a high note in this song that he never hit again. Because of scheduling conflicts, Queen and David Bowie were never able to perform this song together live. Queen rearranged it for their live performances to use Roger to harmonize with Freddie. I don't think that David ever performed it live until after Freddie's passing.

And another iconic legend David Bowie these two shaped a lot of music and they're greatly missed rest in peace you guys you made a mark in history for all to enjoy!

Pink Floyd. High Hopes. Pulse. DO IT~! (please)

[@howiedavis2316]

Dude, i appreciate you revisiting the roots of good music, my only envy is, being born in the 60's, i wish i could hear these songs for the first time like you, with such a fresh perspective. Keep rockin

[@sarakendall9675]

Queen - Live Aid full performance it's amazing

[@nursemarn]

You have to know these two are rockin’ out in heaven right now! Rip guys. We still love you and miss you

[@ScreechPowers2025]

I enjoy these videos but I can’t fathom how anyone could not have heard any of these popular rock songs.

[@emmamorley138]

I love this song so much. Their vocals compliment each other so well. Plus, when the backing vocals kick in at around 4:43, that is the drummer Roger Taylor. LOVE that man! His vocals are a sound all of their own, his solo stuff is brilliant too. I enjoy your reactions so much!

[@patgallagher5974]

Love your reaction to this ,try watching queen doing it at Wembley ,and watch freddys crowd control ,also somebody to love live at Montreal ,freddys vocals in that are amazing ,good luck from Liverpool uk X FYI queen and Bowie sued and won and got credited x

[@NoLegalPlunder]

The climax to this song is so powerful. It gets me every time.

[@gemstony85]

3 words: STONE COLD CRAZY

[@sirherothebrave]

Rip the 2 gods of rock. At least we got the blessing of having David for a few more decades.

[@kilowag36]

"Freddie Mercury's got the pipes of a damn devine messanger" is easy the greatest line I've ever heard

[@ptTeearms]

If you want to see Freddie shine, you've got to watch the full Live Aid performance! Queen blew every other performer out of the water!

[@erina.5421]

You should definitely do more Bowie. Maybe the collab between David Bowie and Trent Reznor, I'm Afraid of Americans. It's so good.

[@rwxstudio7173]

Bowie and Jagger, Dancing in the Streets. Another great song as well. I actually feel like Dancing in the Streets and Under Pressure are somehow connected (and not by the fact David Bowie sings in both songs either).

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

This is one of my all time favorite songs by two of my favorite artists (may they rest in peace). I always loved the original video that showed clips from "Nosferatu".

[@Michael-ye9xj]

Queen is so Great...Even as a Metal Fan i like them total \m/

[@steveh88]

I'm a metal guy to the core but I'm so thrilled he's discovering Freddie Mercury. If you put everybody that's been called the GOAT of their sport/profession into one room, Freddie would be the GOAT of all the GOATs. And when he said "the pipes of a divine messenger" I got a little chill. So absolutely perfect.

[@hockeyfan224]

Queen - full live aid concert You won't regret it.

[@elizabeth7358]

Cannot get enough of Queen and David Bowie. Roger Taylor is a beast on the drums Still watching Philly 11-24-2024 🥰🥰💃💃💃💃

[@davidwyllie4512]

would be good to see you react to the 22 min set queen did at live aid..something special

[@mollymollie6048]

I love your reaction...yes, Freddie Mercury is on a whole another level!!! This is one of my favorite Queen songs, glad you enjoyed it!

[@knockoffjesus4844]

If you wanna hear some more Metallica, Anesthesia- Pulling Teeth. It’s an INSANE bass solo by Cliff Burton

[@noth1ng5id]

THIS

[@karlsmith2570]

k-9 smg especially if he followed that up with "Whiplash"

[@niccraig8603]

So much fun to watch.. a musso... watching Freddie... and David... the two 'Statesmen of the Stage' of our generation... getting completely blown away by pure talent... love it.

[@whitequeen1683]

You should react to White Queen at the Hammersmith/75. Absolutely mindblowing

[@CBGB_1977]

Rosana Rocha YES!

[@Keston1302]

@@CBGB_1977 I love that performance!

[@CBGB_1977]

Keston Decker It's spellbinding! It's so good it brings tears.

[@Keston1302]

Danelle Covey I think the best part is the power in his voice then he does that amazing piano solo as well. It is truly one of their best performances(besides Live Aid obviously)

[@aprils.6297]

That is a fabulous performance!!

[@robinmoore4994]

At 4:06 "...can we give ourselves one more chance"...that's the fist-pumpin', head-bangin', "hell yeah!!!!" moment!!!!!!!!

[@KodaLeck]

RIP David Bowie and freddy mercury two badass legends

[@andersthecrow6588]
