Producer Reacts to 5SOS - Killer Queen + Making of Killer Queen

[@ellam464]

How you were able to pick out the parts that they also used in Youngblood is beyond me... THE TALENT

[@emilytuczapski6214]

i could never

[@heatherlynn6648]

i was sitting there like: 🤯 “holy shit he’s not wrong”

[@soniachapple3141]

Ella M the boys explained that they wanted to include the drum beats from Youngblood in Killer Queen .... but they had to get permission from Roger and Brian to do it the way they wanted to (Ashton’s idea I believe)

[@ARG7856]

SAMEEE like the analysis and the fact he could hear those under everything else aaahhhh

[@natalietanno4665]

Ella M I was so surprised how fast he picked up on it HAHA it took me like a few listens to realize it’s the same as Youngblood.

[@evomee92]

They did Red Desert like this, they've mentioned it in an interview somewhere.

[@thatguy6292]

evomee92 yeah I saw that too. It was in the iTunes description.

[@dani.p]

OMG, Red Desert is my fav!!!! 😍 And knowing this... wow, it has so much sense!

[@oi3702]

evomee92 Red Desert is NICE dude

[@fernandaviveiros7543]

It is so good to be able to hear your opinion, to think that Calum himself said that they almost didn't put Wildflower on the album due to the vocals. They made it clear that the experience with this cover was what made them explore more their vocal capacity and I couldn't be more proud

[@emmelineeezk]

omg when and where did Calum say that??

[@giuly8jojo]

the producer of Killer Queen was Matthew Pauling, the same one from Red Desert and Lonely Heart on CALM!

[@kikigarcia4174]

which is a curious fact cuz the harmonies they did in red dessert were very similar to the ones from queen!

[@catarinafrango6024]

You should check out their cover of "No Roots"

[@auroreduthoo2752]

Catarina Frango It’s a very good cover and Ashton’s voice is amazing !

BLAKE! youve basically gained the support of the entire 5sos fanbase ahaha. we appreciate your reactions and support for the band so much! hopefully you’ll continue to react to more 5sos in the future :) we’d love to see your reactions to the rest of the albums especially youngblood and sounds good feels good by the way, i freaking love your reactions so much. i’m a huge 5sos stan and i was mindblown when you proved that killer queen had the same ‘layers’ as youngblood. it’s so nice to see someone who actually has real experience with music delve into the production of songs. thank you.

[@catv5634]

The lead vocalist mentioned that after doing Kiler queen they got inspired by the harmonies to do Red dessert

[@c.c.21]

Random Fact: Brian May actually went to a 5sos concert in 2016! Which is why Luke said "we should send it to Brian (May)"

[@shunshun381]

where can I find that information?

[@infinityplus1354]

killer queen is one of my favorite songs of queen and when 5sos made a cover of it, I lost my mind. this is 5sos' one of best covers ever, they also made a cover of Stay by Post Malone that's my other favorite cover of them. I would like to see your reaction to their 3rd album Youngblood. also FUN FACT: They wrote "Red Desert" right after they made this cover, Luke (lead singer, guitarist) said the harmonies in Red Desert were inspired by how they recorded the killer queen cover and the way queen used to record their harmonies.

[@anamarian3155]

STAY IS SO GOOD

[@daliluher9435]

You're really giving the people what they want 😂 Love that you're going all in with 5SOS. Think we might have a new stan on our hands 💕 Also your reviews are amazing. Keep up the good work

[@BlakeMcLain]

haha thank you! I really dig their music. Actually, I thought about doing a different song this morning, then was like "nahhh" sharing this stuff with you all is too fun lol

[@daliluher9435]

@@BlakeMcLain Well big thanks. Really appreciate it. Gives me something else to look forward to during quarantine. You really chose the right fandom to make happy. We receive you with open arms.

[@BlakeMcLain]

dalilu her :’D

[@daliluher9435]

@@BlakeMcLain also you were right about the influences on youngblood. Doing this cover really inspired the band for that album and song. In a way I think it kinda marks a before and after in a way since their first two albums are a little different to the previous ones.

[@kuleczqa_xx]

5sos other albums are: • Youngblood (2018) • Sounds Good Feels Good (2015) • Self Titled (2014) I'm sure all of us would love to see you reacting to them 🖤🤟🏻

[@kai_yue]

Wow, I didn't expect that Youngblood would be so similar to Killer Queen in that aspect. The fact that you're able to tell just emphasizes the fact that you're a great producer. I'm not even able to tell, even after listening to it for about 2 years😂 And I'm so glad you reacted to the making of it. You got to see a bit of their personalities, and that dorkiness in them. I love how your voice sound a bit like Michael in some parts of this reaction mostly from 13:00😂 Love your reaction as always

[@megan7437]

You are so talented!!! How you immediately heard the similarities between this song and youngblood is beyond me. I never would have heard this in a million years. You are definitely one of the best react channels on KZbin. Keep up the amazing work 😊😊😊

[@teddy9685]

Have you listened to their Youngblood album? If not, can you please do a reaction of the Youngblood deluxe album? I would really appreciate it and I also appreciate you doing all of this effort!

[@Katertot8895]

Yo he would LOVE dissecting Monster Among Men that's BRILLIANT idea

[@is2JR]

Youngblood Deluxe version is an all time fave

[@emeliacooley8904]

They did basically exactly what Queen did and it made me SO proud of the boys for doing it that way!!

[@bristol-yf5to]

am i the only one who questioned how he could be so serious after hearing ashtons "dynamite with a MaGiC beAN"

[@amylimaaa]

early squad 😁 i’m so glad you’re actually considering feedback from viewers and reacting what the audience is suggesting as well as your own stuff! we appreciate it! plus it’s super interesting to hear someone with trained ears opinions! thankyou :)

[@lilyapril1521]

Not a lot of people talk about the bass in their songs, love that you mentioned it!

[@skwilliamson2476]

FINALLY someone else recognized the resemblance of Youngblood and Killer Queen. When killer queen first came out it was the first thing I noticed and as a none music producer, was very confused.

[@joellem625]

Omg I’m obsessed with your reactions especially to 5 seconds of summer. I feel like I get a reaction and a lesson about how some things were made in one video.

[@elisaxgrace1950]

it's so fuckin hilarious when they argue because the true Aussie comes outta them

[@karolinepalaciosjrgensen8231]

Loved this!!! I love how you caught their use of Young Blood in Killer Queen, would have never guessed they did! But after you mentioned it, it was so clear!! So cool to get educated through watching a reaction video.

[@JasminLang1]

I would love to see your reaction to Harry Styles covering "Girl Crush (BBC)", "The Chain (Live Lounge)", "Juice (Live Lounge)" and "Wild thoughts (Live Lounge)". Also Harrys first album (Harry Styles) is really good and seems to have quite a mix of different influences (genres) on there.... His second album Fine Line is very different from the first one but a masterpiece in it's own way 😍 Oh and you have to listen to "Medicine (St.Paul)" as well! There is no studio version of that song -sadly- but the video of his live performance in St. Paul does have good(-ish) audio....😊 I personally really enjoy listening to his albums, covers and voice in general - but I might be biased af so don't come at me if you don't like any of those suggestions 😇 Also, I really love your way of reacting to songs - it's entertaining yet educating in a way (if that makes any sense at all) 🥰 Keep up the good work and I hope to see you reacting to any of my recommendations soon 😊 Edit: (Don't judge me, I literally copy/pasted my comment from his previous reaction but I'm desperate and want him to see and react to the mentioned songs above - don't mind me spamming this comment on every video from now on 😂)

Jasmin no worries, I got you 😉

how you knew that its the same as youngblood is just wow! i didnt know anything until you pointed it out. TALENTED.

I love how in depth you go when you react to things!! This cover is incredible, I love 5SOS. Also the fact that you reacted to the behind the scenes too makes me so happy. Thank you!

[@caitlinreanne]

You should react to some of 5SOS’s older albums. Like “Sounds Good Feels Good”, “Youngblood”, and “5 Seconds Of Summer”.

[@SmileForRianne]

This cover is actually what got me into this band, deeply. I was impressed! Love your input about how they used parts of youngblood for this one.

[@soniachapple3141]

Yes they did Red Desert exactly like this and you’re correct in that they used parts of Youngblood in this track. I believe it was Ashton’s idea to utilise parts of Youngblood but they had to get permission from Roger and Brian. He refused to give it a go unless they could use Youngblood lol It’s one of my fave tracks they’ve done

love how you make the time stamps to the best parts or the desired parts man

Also The Band CAMINO is an awesome up and coming pop rock band. They are actually going on tour with 5SOS this summer (if covid doesn’t ruin that too). Besides the point they released their first album in like October 2019 (they have some really good EPs too) but if you like Alt rock mixed with current pop I definitely suggest them.
