I am so proud of the British music talent and for such a small island, that this island has produced so much music talent and Queen being one of them.

autotune isn't what people think it is. it doesn't make people who can't sing be able to suddenly sing. It just smooths out pitch, the obvious effect of when you use it on someone who can't sing it sounds like a robot, because you have to turn the retune speed down so far. Plenty of artists today who have music that is known for their singing ability have auto tune on their studio albums, you'd be insane to say that most of them don't have obvious vocal talent.

I love Asia's reaction to this. BJ, this is the 70's, not the 80's, brother, the styles and hair were a lot different between the two decades. What most people don't realize about this video and it's significance is that this was the first of it's kind. No other band had ever done a "movie", "video" to promote a single, or an album before this. This video inspired every other band in the world to try and replicate this process and it also help to create MTV and VH-1. Without these kind of music videos, there would never have been the cable TV stations. Please react to The March of the Black Queen, 1974, from the Queen II album. That song was the prelude to Bo Rap.

I remember at school one day we were lined up outside of a classroom waiting for our teacher to arrive , we got bored waiting and two boys started singing this , we all joined in singing it from the beginning , other pupils passing by stopped and even the headmaster came out from his study to listen to us. It was such fun.

Must've been great i'm sure! Sadly, by the time i reached 16 it was already the year 2001 and so much had changed already. The only thing i'm really happy for is that i got still a little part of my life that i was "concious" enough (mid 90's to 2000's) where i really really loved everything in life, i was happy! I still was up until 2009. But times had already changed very much and in 2009 i got leukemia. Everything went downhill from there to be honest. I needed a stemcel-transplantation in 2010, i got Graft versus Host Disease in 2012 and ended up in a wheelchair. And since 2012 i got in and out of the hospital each year, sometimes weekly, sometimes every other month. Much recently i got my two Pfizer vaccins and two weeks later i got covid after being safe for 17 months! I finally ended up in coma for 12 days and was tied to my bed for three days straight while intubated. Having claustrofobie, that ain't no joke i can reassure you that! Now i'm still recovering. But while in coma they have seen that my heart has a bad "valve" and i will need open surgery at some point in life. It might be soon or late, that is something we don't know yet. At the moment i'm too weak to even think about surgery. I also have endocarditis (which is a bacteria) on that same valve on my heart. And to make it all complete, my mom passed away almost three years ago. So yeah. The 70's absolutely must've been wonderful times, much more respect for towards each other just in general i think! Anyway, sorry to everyone to bother you with my story. I just like to write it off me sometimes. 😀 I wish you all the best! 🙏🏼

Bohemian Rhapsody is the apex of rock opera. This song is a musical roller coaster. An amazing fact about Queens' lead guitarist Brian May. He was actually working on getting his Ph.D in astrophysics when Queen was formed. Music meant so much to him so he put his doctorate on the back burner. After Freddie Mercury died, Queen disbanded. Even while still part of the group Brian and his father designed and built a new kind of guitar. Brian's IQ has been measured in the 160's. That's even beyond Big Bang Theory smart. So he was a real genius on top of being a musical genius. after Queen disbanded, Brian went back to working toward his doctorate. He finally got it in 2006 or 7. He's now Dr. Brian May Ph.D. He's also written about 6 books on the subject of astrophysics. He's even works with NASA periodically.

I remember the first time I heard this song on the radio headed to school on the bus back in the 70s. This song was so different than anything I had ever heard. I really perked up with its fusion of rock and ballad and operetta styles. I was like, WHAT IS THIS? And it’s really long. And to think this song almost never got released for being too weird. This group was super talented. Each member had mad skills. But the singer, Freddy mercury had such a unique voice. They did a lot of songs you know but they were so versatile that many of their most famous songs they are just iconic: We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions. Watch their Live Aid performance. It’s pretty phenomenal

Not the 80s, this was 1975, a track from their album, "A night at the opera", it spent 9 weeks at number 1 over here in the UK. An absolute masterpiece. Commercial radio stations wouldn't play it at first, as being a 6 minute song, it was considered too long, a pirate radio dj, "Kenny Everett", got hold of it and played it to death, commercial radio couldn't ignore it after this & it went stratospheric. Great reaction both & a great homage to one of the greatest bands ever.👍

Make no mistake, now - Queen was doing campy weird stuff, and they knew it, and we knew it, and everybody loved it. “Bohemian Rhapsody” was a hoot, and had us all trying to memorize its crazy mini-opera routine. This is all before mentioning how good they were (VERY good), and how hard they rocked (VERY hard). A truly unique band, and Freddy Mercury was one incredible singer/songwriter.

The entire song is in metaphors! Freddy didn’t shoot a man with a gun it’s a metaphors! He was struggling with being gay and he wrote this song as a farewell to his former self by putting a gun to his own head and killing the former self and apologizing to his saddened mother whom he really loved! He had a rebirth in his sad new self in a troubled life yet he didn’t care and carried on! He later died of aids in 1991 by his wrong decision and lifestyle! It was an epic song from mid 1975. The Guinness book of recorded stated that Bohemian Rhapsody was truly a MASTERPIECE and worthy of being the BEST rock song ever written! Even ahead of the Beatles, whom Queen collectively respect and admired!
