So Good! 🎵 QUEEN DON'T STOP ME NOW REACTION

[@judycolella5554]

A neurological study was done observing the brain response in people listening to this, and because the pleasure reaction was so extreme, it was considered the happiest song ever written. Some might dispute this now with the advent of other songs, but it's not hard to believe it could be that awesome. Thanks for your fantastic take on this!

Never attempt to put Queen in a category. The next song you hear from them will make your last guess totally wrong. There is no box they fit in. And NO this song is not about drugs. (not that at some points in their career they did not indulge) but they never wrote a song about it! You will never know the real meaning of a Queen song. In MANY interviews both Frieddie and Brian have said they don't tell (or do videos) about what their songs about. It is up to the listener to decide whatever they feel.

Freddie loved "having a good time", but he was not drug addicted and as he said in an interview "No one can stop me, honey." He has lived his rock'n roll lifestyle, but on the other side he was a funny, generous, caring, loving, kind and charming guy. Queen is the most versatile rock band, they wrote their own stuff in several genres (cca. 15) from rock to jazz, to pop, etc. about 200 songs.

The lead guitarist is an English musician and astrophysicist who achieved fame as lead guitarist of the rock band Queen. May was a co-founder of Queen with lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor. His songwriting contributions helped Queen become one of the most successful bands in rock history. At Hampton Grammar School, he attained ten GCE Ordinary Levels and three GCE Advanced Levels in Physics, Mathematics, and Applied Mathematics.[21] He studied Mathematics and Physics at Imperial College London, graduating with a BSc degree in Physics in 1968 with honours.[22] Following his graduation, May received a personal invitation from Sir Bernard Lovell to work at the Jodrell Bank Observatory while continuing to prepare his doctorate. He declined, choosing instead to remain at Imperial College to avoid breaking from Smile, the London-based band he was in at the time.[23] In 2007, May was awarded a PhD degree in astrophysics from Imperial College London for work started in 1971 and completed in 2007.

I don't think that's entirely true. He wasn't originally open with his sexuality from the beginning and only later revealed he was gay. And when he did, during the great AIDS scare, the homophobia ramped up hard. But Queen only got bigger with time after he died, rightfully so.

Watching Brad trying to categorise Queen. and others .... Love it!... We all do it! And the list of genres and sub genres these days in in the many hundreds.... but I have to agree with comments below on the lines.. all great artists are themselves and create their own form of life and mirror to it..... Queen is Queen.... Hendrix is Hendrix..... Beatles are Beatles.... Beethoven is Beethoven .. Chuck Berry is Chuck Berry ..Miles Davies is Mies Davies... . All the greats create their own world!... leap about genres and music types and forms and translate into other music forms...... All great music you can turn into a String Quartet. These days I say some bands are just special..... Queen are one and they are themselves.... it does not matter what category so much ... great music is great music... I am more guilty than most as my brain much like Brad is always thinking what genre is this?...... But really Queen are a great example of someone who is just Queen as they overlap so many genres ... and make so many gems of songs in different genres its just great to see! t just comes out of them... but there is always something very Queen about every song. That is greatness in my opinion. They are not even my favourite band. But they are in the list of all time special bands! And entertainers. So many great memories to this song dancing at random on chairs at parties and driving ........... just a happy song! : )) And what an into and fade ... Just class and a feel good factor vive. You know Freddie has everyone from Funkadelic to James Brown to Led Zep and Bowie and a large number of classical albums in his record collection and probably a Southern Baptist Choir album as well as Opera albums. Happy viewing Lex and Brad ... enjoying your show from Cotswolds, England.... Great to see we all have so many of the same thoughts and reactions. I cannot agree more with a lot of Lex's saying about Pink Floyd as well.... very insightful I thought. I even leaned a few things. It is also great to see how great music just translates to all.... whether it is James Brown, Kanye or The Smiths, GnR or Prince or Parliament or Charlie Parker or Mozart..... Music unifies us all as human beings..........England , US and round the whole world..... in Soviet Russia ... they could not get enough Western Music smuggled through...in the 60's and 70's and 80's ....

The Rock of the 60s and 70s is full of groups that use piano. Started in the 50’s as an outgrowth of ragtime and swing the generations before and carried over into jazz and original r&b and rock-n-roll. A staple for Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, The Doors, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Fleetwood Mac, Blue Öyster Cult, Kansas, Styx, Elton John, Lynyrd, Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis and so many other groups that rocked the piano just like Queen. Many Queen fans would have liked to see Freddie do more piano, as he drifted away from it as time marched on. The piano has been a pivotal force-multiplier for rock music all along really. The Queen sound really comes from innovative arrangements, rhythms, songwriting, and the unique voices they created individually, in harmony, or in guitar expression. Freddie was a genius, but all four were songwriters that worked on the band’s arrangements - and each provided vocals at different times. Like Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Eagles, or the Beatles, Providence played a role in bringing these artists together to form Queen. 🤘🏻

The empowering song shows Freddie feeling unstoppable: "floating around in ecstasy," "like a tiger defying the laws of gravity," and "traveling at the speed of light." It shows how Freddie threw caution to the wind, putting himself in danger: "I am a satellite, I'm out of control" and "I am a sex machine ready to reload". After Freddie died of AIDS-related causes in 1991, Brian May told Mojo that he struggled with the lyrics, as it was about a difficult time in Freddie's life, when he was "taking lots of drugs and having sex with lots of men." Brian May later said: "I thought it was a lot of fun, but I did have an undercurrent feeling of, 'aren't we talking about danger here,' because we were worried about Freddie at this point. *Quoted from Smooth Radio

(I don't normally like live versions either, but enjoyed your reaction to 'Somebody to Love'.) It's great. In the UK, I feel like almost everyone is familiar with Queen songs but for you guys, it was more an experimental thing to dive into and I love that you just go for it, with all these "new" bands you're trying out. :D Thanks.

I always called Queen music "Rock Opera".

[@marggie4129]

Another one bites the dust? You take my breath away? Cool cat? Seaside rendezvous? Can't just say rock opera,although some of the songs were.

[@kylethomson2449]

Lex. I love the way you work through the musicality of the song out loud in real time. We can see your brain working. It cool. You both are cool to watch.

Let's have more reactions to "Queen"! I highly recommend the song "The Show Must Go On"

[@DanielAriasLR]

Notice how he sings while playing the piano (standing up). Skill level: Master

[@bigappleINA]

"Queen is so different".... yes! it's Queen: Pop, Rock Heavy Hard, Trash, Blues, opera, etc, etc, etc etc, Queen it's THE MUSIC.

[@leehaskins307]

love this queen song. queen and freddies voice is so enjoying to listen to...

[@My_Paper_Route]

You need to check out "Dragon Attack" by Queen. It's never covered but I think it's one of their best songs.

[@eroy66]

Metal band called Testament covered it

[@Metal_Mary]

Queen was So different, Every song was Never the same!! Freddie was Born to do this, He was one of our most talented Rock gods ever, Their sound, Guitars, Vocals & Anthems will Forever be instilled in Our hearts for lifetimes and years to come! 👸 👑 ❤😍musical 🎼 Geniuses!

[@johnnosiennek7066]

It's great to see people waking up to real music by real musicians and not the dross that's around now with auto tune etc ,(which can make a donkey sound good)

[@stue2485]

Love queen thanks guys for this your great and Lex is so full of beans love her.

[@jimwillride]

I love the sincerity of your reactions. You guys are really considering and weighing the craft and the art, and I respect that. However, in this case, I am not sure I agree with the idea that it is a song about drugs. Seems to me that it is about the way Freddy Mercury lived in general. He was like a comet, on fire and burning through the sky and not about to be stopped or slowed down for anyone. His loss was and is a tragedy, of course, but it is almost like he was predicting it with the brightness of his genius. He is dearly missed.

[@ninja_tony]

Yeah, it's almost certainly not about drugs. I always imagined it's all about being high on life, being filled with so much optimistic energy that nothing can bring you down.

[@mikegoodlock7821]

Freddie just does something to you with that voice. Brings me to tears 😢

[@Mxxx1x]

How have you not already heard this?? Wtf 😂

[@charlesfitzgerald9631]

I grew up on Queen & rock & roll in general and I never heard this song until the movie came out a few years back……Big single in the UK I guess but not here in US as far as I know 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Mxxx1x]

@@charlesfitzgerald9631 Ah that must be why then! If you grew up in the UK you’d be hearing it at every school disco, bbq’s, events, tv shows and so on… it’s like a proper anthem 😂

QUEEN, my all time fav rock from from England, as a retired professional drummer from L.A., I have covered a LOT of Queens tunes, definitely they are a rock band and this is a great tune. The video was shot like it was a live performance, yet notice, toward the end, he is still singing and had stopped playing the piano, yet the piano is still being played. The 70's, imo, were hands down, the best decade for music, period. No band today can even hold a candle to Queen, where everyone sings amazing harmony, Brian May is an outstanding guitar player, no one can even touch them imo.

[@KenanValoix]

Please reaction to "The Miracle" the video is very nice. Greetings from Mexico.

[@debramoore7513]

YESSSS - Very clever & adorable video!

[@scotteustice6230]

This was on one of my Playlists back when I taught spin class. Great straight away!

[@karenmandeville7116]

guys don't get so hung up on the genre. there are broad genres (rock, rap, hip hop,, blues, country, etc) but good music is just good music. and Queen is almost their own genre, like Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. love your reactions!

[@caseyguillot1628]

What a smart woman!!! So musically intelligent!

[@billtmarchi4320]

If you want a queen love song. Do "SAVE ME" .

[@sir_sack]

One of my favourites, ever heard it live at Montreal?

[@dionshare7103]

There we go. You all are right. No one song sounds the same. Queen was one of kind band.
