[@Holland143]

Freddy was once asked “which is your favourite instrument you play?” And his response “The audience darling” Phenomenal always the GOAT

[@Simon-lw4uc]

What an elite reply

[@tammyjackson3113]

Yes Vanilla Ice stole the bass line for Ice Ice Baby and got sued by Queen and David Bowie. Freddie controlled every audience there was.

[@craigedwards2940]

I'm gald you mentioned it because I couldn't work out guitar riff. Yes, the bass part was taken on by Vanilla Flop.

[@donnanaples5214]

Not taken on, he outright stole the riff!

[@guyintenn]

@@craigedwards2940 Not sure how much of a flop he was/is. 15 million albums sold, 100 million singles, 1st number 1 "Hip Hop" song and album, fastest number 1 "Hip Hop" album and song, to this day, current net worth of $10-15 million (who knows), and according to the RIAA, averages $400,000 a month in royalties, after the Queen and Bowie publishing rights are paid. Without all the drugs and other past problems, if that is a flop, sign me up!

[@drazzle6267]

I remember.

[@clarkmacgowan5114]

​@CH Mullins another depressing sign of the decline of musical tastes and the intelligence of the average music listener. That Vanilla Ice ever made $0.10 off of anything is an embarrassment and a disgrace. No wonder we have things like Kardashians and orange garbage.

[@brianbrigham9177]

Yes. John Deacon wrote that bass line. “Sampled” by many others. Lol

[@andrewsimckes5748]

In fact deacon played it when they were riffing with Bowie they all went to lunch and came back he had forgotten it but Roger remembered and then they did the song Bowie in one Room and Freddie in another

[@26shedan]

sampled? Stolen....Vanilla Ice paid for that theft from what I hear.

[@bexanne99]

@@26shedan oh he paid for it, as he should have!

[@merlinsclaw]

Freddie held the audience in the palm of his hand and we loved him for it.

[@kesleycottrell1416]

This is proof that Freddie Mercury was the absolute greatest front man to ever step on a stage. Check out their Live Aid set.

[@karenj3611]

This whole Wembley concert was amazing

[@kendallneason3645]

Queen consisted of four enormously talented, educated professional musical artists. Freddie was a force of nature with his amazing voice and energy and he liked to change the songs just a bit each concert so no one got bored. They all are listed in the rock hall of fame for. Songwriting as well as for Performances! ❤

[@markhinton1641]

There's a famous interview of Queen in their early days. The interviewer asked each band member what instrument they played, when he asked Freddie which instrument he played, Freddie replied " the audience, darling".

[@jetsstabler]

Yes, they originated it. I believe Queen sued Vanilla Ice for using this riff.

[@hookedonreactions7649]

And won.

[@alexanderwiles2003]

yeah queen and david bowie sued them and both the band and bowie are now credited on the vanilla ice song and he also paid royalty's (though he keeps pretending he bought the song under pressure from brian may when brain may doesn't even have the complete rights to it)

[@Boodieman72]

Freddie was one of the best frontmen ever.

[@tinagilbert8902]

When describing Freddie after following him/the band for a few months a reporter aptly wrote "Freddie had a microphone in one hand and... the world in the other"!! That sums it up perfectly!! Freddie was one of a kind and a very gentle, beautiful soul who had a lot to share with us. He lives on through his music. Great reaction guys!!!🥰🥰🥰 Oh and p.s... Vanilla Ice stole, not sampled, Queen's/bassist Jon Deacon's riff (aka dancing Deaky! lol!!🙃😂). Just wanna answer your question... it was Queen/John Deacon's riff from 1981!! Vanilla Ice stole it (and tried to pass it off as his own in 1990). Don't get me wrong... when Ice Ice Baby came out we all had a blast dancing to it, however... we recognized it immediately as "Under Pressure". The court case that ensued afterwards was hysterical. Even the judge presiding over the case laughed in Vanilla Ice's face when he tried to explain that he added a note to the riff so it wasn't John Deacon's riff. WTH????? Again, the judge laughed in his face and not only was Vanilla Ice forced to give writing credits to Queen on his song "Ice Ice Baby".... the judge gave Queen a share of all proceeds of Ice's song past, present and future!👊

[@debramoore7513]

Wembley Stadium has been known to host the top artists of all time!! When Queen was booked there one year after their historic-making performance at Live Aid .. the promoters added a second night! Tickets 🎟 sold out quickly!! Under Pressure sent electricity thru the crowd. Freddie’s yellow jacket etched in history forever!! 💛💛💛

[@arsenalmanic]

Possibly the greatest ever band, and Freddie one of the greatest voices/showmen EVER ! for real real. People use "GREAT", "LEGEND" far too often. Queen/Freddie Mercury are genuinely befitting of the such superlatives

[@keithroberts4952]

John deacon originally played the riff on the bass back in 1981. Vanilla ice famously sampled it for his hit "ice, ice baby". John may have been "the quiet one" in the band but he was an enormously talented and creative force within Queen!

[@the_wexie]

I just looked up if Vanilla Ice had permission or stole it. He stole it and wound up buying the rights to the song rather than fighting an expensive court battle.

[@wnsafford1854]

@@the_wexie Vanilla Ice has long lied about what he bought. Queen & Bowie camps have long been clear, VI bought ONLY the right to use the bass line in Ice, Ice Baby, including in re-issues & re-mixes. He does not own ANY rights to Under Pressure & can't use the bass line in any other song. In 2017, on the Dan Patrick show, after years of claiming he already owned it, VI said he'd just recently bought Under Pressure from Brian May (who actually only owns a part, so couldn't sell the song, anyhow). Asked about the most recent claim, Brian looked surprised, shook his head, smiled & said "he is mistaken."

[@the_wexie]

@@wnsafford1854 You rock. Thanks for filling in the blanks for me.

[@miconis123]

I don't think it would have been a big deal if Vanilla Ice had admitted it from the beginning.

[@wnsafford1854]

@@miconis123 Totally agree with you. It was VI's lying (which he's still doing) & changing his story over & over (1-he'd never heard UP. 2-maybe he'd heard it, but his was different, because he added a note & 3-finally admitting, he took the bass line from his brother's Queen record) that brought industry & fan scorn, especially with Queen & Bowie fans.

[@donnabannister793]

Freddy just knew how to hold an audience!! engage them!! and do what he did best..PERFORM!!! He loved it all❤️❤️ I certainly loved growing up with QUEEN🥰🔥🔥

[@OriginalFeets]

Greatest front man ever.

[@tomhelmsjr]

That riff sounds familiar because Vanilla Ice sampled it and used it on Ice Ice baby. He didn’t give credit and got sued by Queen and David Bowie. Now they have the writers credit for his song. Easy E also sampled it on Easy Duz it.

[@jessegreen6138]

The song was released on October 26, 1981 as a single by Queen featuring David Bowie. Freddy Murcury, David Bowie, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Brian May are listed as the writers of the song. That riff is actually John Deacon and his Bass. According to Brian May and Roger Taylor: Deacon wrote the Riff. According to Deacon David Bowie wrote it and according to David Bowie the Bass riff was already written by the time he got involved. John Deacon did the Bass Riff in this version of the song. Thank you for your reaction of this version of the song, Asia and BJ.

[@JosephHuntelvisnspiders]

According to Brian and Roger, John came up with the riff, when they came back from lunch John had forgotten it and Roger had to hum it to him. Class.

[@MrRolemaster]

'he was just that good!' Yes. Yes he was. I saw him live. He was just that good. And better.

[@candilumpkin1196]

I’m jealous of anyone who got to see queen live.

[@lewistasso8866]

There is nothing like the version with Freddie and David Bowie singing this together like the studio version. Two music legends singing an incredible song.

[@GollumHatesNastyChips]

This is WAYY better than studio. It’s a cool collab, but Freddie needs to sing 100% of the song

[@alexanderwiles2003]

@@GollumHatesNastyChips na they wrote there parts of the song and they are definitely the best as intended

Watch the video again. They aren't singing together. It's an edit. Albeit a very good one. The David Bowie footage is from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. He sang the song with Annie Lennox and someone spliced the footage together.

[@peterramsay4674]

I only saw them once. It’s true. Crazy true. His hold on his sudirpence is insane. I had goosebumps, my hair stood on end, I had tears in my eyes. People sang out loud to Bohemian Rhapsody which had just come out. I don’t think he owned us more than it was Freddie made us part of the band, part of the song.And one more thing. This is live !! His voice sounds like he’s in a studio. Take my word for it live concerts in big venues don’t sound like this. A handful do. Sometimes Bowie did. I loved Bob Seger.

[@navyguyhm3]

The greatest band of all time No band, solo, duo or group can ever nor will ever be nearly as good as Queen. Freddie had a presence while on stage. Check out his Live Aid concert. It's beautiful and mesmerizing in its simplicity but 100% true greatness. Love you guys!!

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

Thank you for your reaction. For me, it's not a matter of crowd control. The audience was captivated by Freddie. He was absolutely brilliant in encouraging audience participation. His charisma, spark and energy was such that they wanted to sing with him! And Freddie wanted them to as well. He let them, lead them, and sometimes (as in "Love of My Life") he just had them sing to him.

[@miconis123]

I've always imagined the feeling of being a singer and having a crowd sing your song for you. I love the live versions of Love of My Life where it's just Freddy and Brian.

[@tomhelmsjr]

There are very few people who are born to be true entertainers, Freddie Mercury was one of those. BJ hit on it, his command of the audience was legendary. Think about it, he just said “fuck you” to the whole audience and they loved him for it. His Live Aid performance was iconic. If you get a chance, react to the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” on the other channel. Rami Malik won an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie. ❤ y’all. Keep doing that thang.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "You’re My Best Friend"!!

[@missd9785]

Your My Best Friend is one of my favorites and rarely seems to get reacted to.

[@marinamccune4880]

Roger Taylor said in an interview once "I think for the audience, they want to be blown away at first. We used to say blind them, deafen them, and then calm them down for 20 minutes, but you really want to go bang, bang, bang, bang at the beginning of a show" That was Queen's formula when they performed live and it obviously worked lol. Rest in Peace Freddie Mercury!

[@metalmark1214]

The studio song of this was a colab with David Bowie. It had a very interesting music video

[@ginnys9831]

Vanilla Ice didn't just sample it, he ripped it off and passed it off as his own. Needless to say Queen and David Bowie sued and won $$ and writing credits!

[@LMTino]

Emotionally charged song that asks more of everybody. Delivered with power enough to reach the back row and beyond.

[@susanhoh1414]

85.000 fans in audience. He own3d the stage and engaged with the audience. He began in Opera before Queen. Gone too soon in 91 from Aids. His music will live forever.

Queen didn't do it first, it's a Bowie song

[@pennyantewest]

October 26, 1981, "Under Pressure" was released, a collaborative single by British rock band Queen and English singer-songwriter David Bowie.

[@Echelon1984]

The vocalising Freddie does at the start is ACTUALLY his warm up routine before he goes on stage

[@georgefrechette2707]

Queen did this song with David Bowie on the record

[@johnwaga3702]

What a great reaction to a peerless performance from Freddie and the boys. How sad that both David Bowie (who co-wrote the song) and Freddie are no longer with us. Amazing and unique talents.

[@sarablack2547]

This was a duet with david bowie.the video to watch is the one with David in a light green suit and Freddie in this outfit.obvs David isn't in it when they do it live. Vanilla ice used the sample for ice ice baby without permission.there was a court case.

One day react to the entire Queen performance at Live Aid....it was epic iconic and also sadly tragic as Freddy Mercury was very sick from AIDS when he gave this performance

[@bbbfst]

I agree they should react to the 20-minute Live Aid set as it is epic, and generally agreed to be the greatest rock performance ever ... but it was in 1985 and Freddie wasn't diagnosed until 1987. He did have a throat infection that day, not that you'd know it from the way he sang!

[@hookedonreactions7649]

That was made up for the movie. He had a throat infection but wasn’t diagnosed with AIDS until two or three years after Live Aid.

[@elkevera]

Stop spreading BS you have no clue about. And take your political/religious crap somewhere else!

[@JanS1]

No he was not. He wasn't diagnosed until 1987, six years later. Don't believe what movies tell you. Do the research. He did have a bad throat but that's it.

[@tracyhale8336]

Just FYI...one doesn't just get AIDS in the 80s...one has HIV first, then it becomes AIDS after one has had it for years before proper diagnosis. This was the 80s, after all ...and everyone was ignoring the disease, including those who were 'just sick with a sore throat'. 🤷

[@jayeginn5963]

His enormous charisma made that crowds forgave him for not reaching the high notes in this (and many other) performances. R.I.P. Freddy.

[@Mjgirl55]

Queen was phenomenal! Four world class musicians coming together in perfect harmony bringing raw talent and joy to the masses. Rest In Paradise beautiful Freddie ♥️👑🎤🎹🥁🎸

[@artsilva]

Queen's Bass player John Deacon wrote that bass line. That is him in the beginning latin' it down.... The original studio track was in collaboration with the late great David Bowie who traded vocals with Freddie, definitely worth listening to.

[@hifinsword]

The bass riff was created by John Deacon the bassist. The lyrics were mostly Freddie Mercury, and added to by David Bowie at an impromptu jam session/recording session in Switzerland. But the 2 never performed live together. All of Queen's members were accomplished musicians. Brian May has a doctorate in Astrophysics. But no one controlled a crowd like Freddie. That crowd was 150,000 people!

[@mrh3578]

Another stunning performance by the masters. So glad there are recordings of these great performances.

[@eolson1964]

I remember watching the Concert "Live"on MTV and it was incredible. the broadcast were broken up into feeds from different Live aid locations so we didn't get to catch all the live performances. It was broadcast from London, and Philadelphia. What an incredible moment in History

[@hifinsword]

John Deacon, Queen's bassist, originated the bass rift. Vanilla Ice appropriated it without permission. He later paid Queen 4 or 5 million USD for it. The actual amount was supposed to be kept quiet.

[@claudinethompson6557]

One of the GREATEST BANDS OF THEIR ERA❤❤❤

[@thecentralscrutinizer1758]

I was at this concert. We combined it with the formula One British Grand prix at Brands Hatch. It was a spectacular weekend. Mansell won the Grand Prix and Freddie bedazzled us with his showmanship.

[@Carnei]

Raido Ga Ga at Live Aid is also pretty intense! Freddy commands the audience and his voice almost like a Maestro. It's quite astonishing to watch! The energy is electric! Never heard "Crowd control" sounding like "Queen control" before, but I like it 😅

[@dawnmclaughlin5262]

I think you're referring to Radio GaGa at Live Aide. That was goosebump amazing!

[@awaller1212]

Freddie wanted everyone to have fun, what better way to have fun then have 80,000 friends join and sing with you. The entire band knew this 100%. As a fan, I enjoy it even more when I see the performers enjoying the experience too.

[@jasonremy1627]

When I was a kid, I had the "Queen, Live at Wembley 86" on cassette. I wore it out. Loved that album.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

The coolest thing I learned about the Live Aid performance, is that thanks to the size of the crowd, when they were clapping along to Radio GaGa you could actually _see_ and _measure_ the speed of sound through the crowd - since they clapped when they heard a certain part of the song, but those at the back heard it slightly later than those at the front. So the claps made a wave that travelled back from the front to the back of the crowd at the speed of sound. It was the first time this phenomenom was captured on video. I dunno why, but the inner Queen AND geek inside me absolutely _loved_ learning this!! Just made me SO happy for some reason haha 😁

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

YAAAAAY!!! GUYS, I was having a crappy day… and this made everything BETTER!

[@badhabitbabbitt7655]

Yes, Queen originated that Bass riff. Vanilla Ice used it for his hit song but got in trouble for lying about it.

Mercury was one hell of a front man, this was tremendous! He owns the crowd and they love him!!! Fantastic!

[@josephinemonahan915]

Great reaction..yes..that is bassist John Deacon’s riff ..since you’re going down the Queen rabbit hole, you have to react to Queen’s set at Live Aid..it’s 20 minutes long that will pass by in a flash..do it all at once...it’s excellent ....Just to say that all 4 members of Queen had number one hits...they were all inducted into the Hall of Fame🤩

[@davidstarr3206]

Queen always has had that kind of control. They always put on one hell of a concert

[@lucabertolucci8164]

If you think there was a large audience, consider that the live at Wmbley '86 lasted two consecutive days. Queen filled the London stadium for two consecutive days July 11th and 12th. Considering the two days, the audience was close to 400,000 people.

Absolutely amazing Queens legendary flamboyant live concerts were outstanding, I actually attended this live concert in 1986 , Queen played two consecutive nights at Wembley the Friday and Saturday 72 thousand people in the crowd both nights , both nights sellout concerts, so Queen added an extra concert at Knebworth Stevenage the crowd was 140 thousand people, this was Freddie’s last live concert, he turned to band mates I said I cannot do live concerts anymore, Queen guitarist John Deacon rift was stolen by Vanilla Ice and Queen we’re so angry they sued Vanilla Ice and won Royalties of 4 million dollars, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@TheNewRevolution]

To answer your question at the end....yes..the bass riff you recognize is their riff. Several artists, most notabley Vanilla Ice have used the riff. It does belong to Queen. You can thank Mr. John Deacon for that one. He was a brilliant song writer. He wrote several of Queens big hits and has dropped some of the most memorable bass lines in music history. Another One Bites the Dust is another example of an iconic bass riff that you know immediately when you hear it.

[@josie3028]

Love your reaction!! One of my favorite one thr connection with the crowd amazing the crowd just loved him how can you not great performer ever he put everything he got in the performance huge talent and everyone in this band just legends thanks💙💜🤎

[@tinagilbert8902]

I saw that interview, I lmao and I was glad Ice (Van Winkle) finally admitted how stupid what he tried to do was. I bet Freddie was laughing from above too!!😜

[@robertchinnery9806]

Yes Queen originated the riff and Vanilla Ice sampled it.

[@pedroroylaigo9092]

Few years back, “can’t touch this” and “ice, ice baby” singers had legal arguments about who came up with this distinctive tune. Finally they stopped the argument when they found out that Queen came up with “UNDER PRESSURE” song before they did.

One of my greatest privileges was seeing them in 1981. Still my favorite concert after that probably STV

[@jrhaughey2481]

John Deacon wrote the bass line and Yes, Vanilla Ice copied it and was sued for copy right infrigments

[@IanSlothieRolfe]

Under Pressure was from the album "Hot Space" which came out when I was in University. There is not a bad or even not excellent track on the album. At the time I was buying vinyl records and I ended up buying this one twice because I wore out the first copy by playing it so much! I later got it on CD too when CD players became a thing. Now I am 60, and this album is still one I return to time and again, the whole band were top level musicians and singers, any of them could have been lead singer for another band, but Freddie tied them together.

[@chrscmo]

Thank you for another great reaction!! You can't avoid Queen at Live Aid much longer. You will love it

[@lewistasso8866]

I can't sing to save my life. Unfortunately, there are many out there like me. However, Freddie would have been a guy that had the confidence and power that would inspire one to sing and "find your voice" no matter how bad or shy one would be. He commanded everything musical and what a stage presence he had.

[@diannegoodwin6561]

I am a New Zealander, a Kiwi. An older gal but the music of this time was my young life. So lucky to have been there and experienced it. Do they make music and concerts like this anymore???

[@SirCampalot1]

Yes. It's a bass riff and John Deacon, Queen's bassist, also the guy who wrote Another One Bites the Dust, wrote it. He's so under-spoken that he's often overlooked. Also, Vanilla Ice can suck it.

[@70lonebear]

I became a Queen fan and a fan of Freddy before I even heard of him and the band. There were movie scores that I loved and over time I realized that even though they were all very different movies the songs were all song by the same band. I went looking and learned about Queen.

[@flutesong5527]

Such a magnificent showman

[@hpsmoothie]

The bass line riff was written by Queen and David Bowie for Under Pressure. Vanilla Ice then used it for Ice Ice Baby but didn't give them any writing credits, so he was sued by the surviving members of Queen in 1990. To avoid an expensive court case (and, honestly, he would have lost), VI supposedly paid Queen $4 million for the rights to the song. There is some confusion on whether he owns sole rights to the song or if ownership is shared. He says he owns it alone, but a spokesman for Queen has said the ownership is shared. VI still earns almost half a million per year in royalties for Ice Ice Baby, so if it is shared, then Queen makes that much as well. Not a bad payday!

[@roverwaters3875]

you are the one confused VI paid to Queen $4 million for the publishing rights of the song "Ice baby" since Queen and DB are co-writers of "Ice baby"

[@TreVader1378]

That's the best way to describe Freddie's vocals, "just mmhmmmm".

Yes, Queen (specifically John Deacon) originated that BASS riff .

If I'm not mistaken Vanilla was taken to court over this rift when he used it as a sample in Ice Ice baby

Loving your reviews. Please please please stick to the Wembley concert in 1986 and not to make you feel too jealous I was in that crowd. It was amazing. I was 17 and had seen them live the year before at Live Aid 1985 (16 years old) and was hooked for ever more. At Live Aid we didn't know whether or not Queen were actually going to appear so when they came on stage we all went crazy. The whole concert after Queen just wasn't the same after they had been on and they were all that we all could talk about and was chanting for them to come back on. I attended the Saturday night of this concert at Wembley in 1986 (they did two nights Friday and Saturday night and there was still demand for the tickets so they put on an extra night at Knebworth - which I also attended). it turned out to be Freddie's last live performance with Queen before his tragic sad death in 1991. There were 150,000 of us in the crowd. Queen flew in and over us in helicopters. I am now 53 years old and have taken Queen with me throughout my life. Can I make a few suggestions, please please try and get to them as I love your love for music (good old fashioned talent musicians). Stay safe and with much love from Manchester, UK.
