Hey guys! Hope you liked the video! Alex will be back next week for the Queen Video! We will be doing Queen at Live Aid, neither of us have seen it, and we are more than excited to check it out, cheers my friends! 🔥😁

[@YourBeingParanoid]

Told you you'd like Brighton Rock - Mustapha! is another great track, unlike anything else you will have heard.

[@YourBeingParanoid]

When are you going to do 'In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited'? Maybe up your Queen to 2 or 3 tracks a week? After all there are 189 by my last count as well as many more unreleased tracks by the band and live performances too.

[@ian00001]

Oh man, you are in for SUCH a treat! 20 minutes that changed the history of music, hell of a way to see them live for the first time - brilliant choice, looking forward to it.

I personally think Queens first 3 album (before Night at The Opera) are very underrated gems and they deserve more people listening to them than the their more popular songs.

I was around when they came out. Myself and friends would cruise with them blasting out of speakers at deafening levels from eight track tapes.

It’s Late. Sublime, just sublime. Can never play it just once. It always goes on repeat. It’s possibly my favourite Queen song in an impossibly tough competition.

[@15chipshops]

It's Late... Amazing song!

[@roballen5718]

i live in Brighton. it's often called 'little London by the sea'. i first came her to attend university as a mature student in '83. i loved it so much i stayed. it's got loads of colleges and so lots of young people. plus it's where Londoners come to party. it's the gay capitol of the UK and 'alternative' people are almost the norm here.

[@m1co294]

one of the reasons I love this song is the way Freddie just transitions from falsetto to his usual strong voice

[@ian00001]

This was the song that hooked me on Queen! Brian uses 2 echoes (originally a tape loop called an Echoplex) to repeat the original riff in the same way Freddie later did vocally in The Prophet's Song, building up harmonies. Listen and try to follow the original line! In concert this often went on for 10 minutes. Still love the raw energy of the original though!

[@andyandalex]

Ian Wright Damn that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing I’ll have to try that! 🔥😁

[@lloydrobson]

Well I first heard this ironically at a fun fair in 1976, slightly confused with the start, but was blown away. Sheer Heart Attack / Jazz and U2’s Unforgettable Fire i have brought this on vinyl, CD ,tape so many times the most purchased records ever. And because these are timeless classics

[@jcm5863]

I'm so glad you reacted to this because it's a less well known queen song but one of my favourites! All of them are amazing musicians! My favourite song from this album is Misfire, which is rather short, but very upbeat and great! One of the reasons all their songs sound so different is because all the members compose songs

[@poluxsaurus1454]

That's right, it's not just the guitar on this track, it's the whole band, and I especially like the drumming here. The song was used in concerts to make room for Brian's solo which he took in different directions and probably improvised a lot. He used the delay effect extensively. And yeah, Mustapha! Won't be the first reaction though, somebody did the whole Jazz album already :D

Great to see someone listening to the album tracks rather than just the greatest hits. This is where the real Queen songs are.

[@johngraham5996]

its little wonder the general public say "Queen are over rated" when all they're hearing is radio ga ga and break free, there is amazing songs in the back catalogue that the public don't get to hear, and lets not forget that Queen are actually a heavy rock band who can rock out and be as loud as anyone out there 👑✊🇬🇧

[@parkviewmo]

I love this, love this, love this song! The sheer joy and complexity of Dr. May's mind is encapsulated in this song. May is my favorite guitarist and probably my favorite musician. Glad to hear some real respect for Roger Taylor's drumming. No one talks about a drummer's range. Think for a minute of the range of his styles across the multitude of genres and he always sounds musical, it always makes the song fuller, and it is always displays exquisite taste! Thanks for reacting. I would recommend Dead on time and Stone Cold Crazy for some more hard Queen.

[@andyandalex]

parkviewmo Thanks for the thoughtful comment friend, I enjoyed it! And thanks for the suggestions! Cheers! 🔥😁

[@cristiona22]

Brian refers to Rogers drumming as musical too and I think that’s a great description. He brings so much to each song with his drumming and vocals.

[@SNP-1999]

@Andy & Alex I took a tape to the office one day with "Brighton Rock" on it one day in 1990, and the girls in the office only knew Queen from their more recent, more softer, more commercial albums. Then came this track and their minds blew away ! One said "Wow ! I never knew Queen could play such hard stuff!" - I said she hadn't heard anything yet ! ❤ This song really showed how such brilliant musicians Queen were, and actually still are. Brian May on his magic lead guitar, John Deacon' s bass guitar was fantastic and Roger Taylor on drums was phenomenal - and that is not even mentioning Freddie Mercury's vocals ! This is extraterrestrial, it really is ! Queen for ever !🙌😘😍😅

[@johngraham5996]

what else did you serenade the ladies in the office with? 👑✊🇬🇧

[@watchtheskies]

Great album, this is the first Queen album I ever got, I was 10 years old, I it got for Christmas 1975. When I was a kid, my whole life was Queen, Pink Floyd and Rush, it was an amazing time for music

[@andyandalex]

John Duval Awesome! Thanks for the tip! Cheers friend! 🔥😁

[@sergeinester6261]

As is the case with most Queen songs there is the literal sort of interp and the secondary interp - a song about meeting on holiday - the guy has a fling with a girl - and gets back but can’t continue the relationship - in case his lady discovers what he did on his holiday. :). But who cares the Brian v Brian delay solo is the gold.

[@47clem]

You should react to "Bijou" It's also a great guitar solo by Brian May from the Innuendo album !

[@andyandalex]

47clem Sounds awesome, thanks a bunch! 🔥😁

[@pavlagebouska3341]

Well done again, my friend. I really enjoy the fact that you do those not so well-known songs. I personally love the older Queen stuff. And I promised I would keep nagging you until you finally do White queen, both studio version and the Hammersmith 1975 version...so here I go: do, do, do!😉 Btw, looking forward to your Mustapha reaction although it is definitelly not one of the best Queen songs. But is surely original. And yes...don't believe people who will try to tell you it is in arabic. It is total gibrish which just sounds arabic (with some real words only).😎

Queen really flexes their muscles on "Let Me Entertain You" and "Dead on Time". I think you will enjoy both songs!!!! Love your channel. Yes to "Mustapha". It has a Middle Eastern feel about it.

Darrell Waller Awesome thanks for those suggestions, and sorry for the confusion, I’m gonna our up a video for Live aid next week, and will do mustapha the following! Glad you like the channel, cheers man! 😁🔥

[@masterplots]

This song is Brian May's baby. It includes an unaccompanied guitar solo interlude, which used delay to build up guitar harmony and contrapuntal melodic lines. The studio version only contains one “main” guitar and one “echoed” guitar for a short section, but live, May would usually split his guitar signal into “main” and two “echoed”, with each going to a separate bank of amplifiers. He played this at nearly every concert and in later years the guitar solo got even longer to give the band a break. This song is not as much about Brian's guitar abilities as it is the music innovation. No one else could do this because they didn't have the "Deaky" amp. that the bass player, John Deacon invented. Thanks for the love, my friend.

[@andyandalex]

As a side note, it may interest you to know that Queen's guitarist, Brian May, holds two PhDs in astrophysics, and when he's not doing music, he works for NASA. He headed the New Horizon mission; an unmanned probe that was the first fly-by to Pluto, Thule Ultima, and is going to be the third man-made object to leave the solar system and enter interstellar space. NASA was saying "We need to build a piano size machine, send it to a planet 3 billion miles away that we never visited, travel for 9 years, fly past the planet at 38,000 MPH, take hundreds of photos, get all the data possible, and then fly further into space and visit things we barely know are there before traveling toward the stars and still collect data along the way." Brian May said "Hold my beer."

[@steveosborne3714]

Queen have done a lot of great music throughout all their albums, but they did two original albums that as a whole are their most outstanding, Sheer Heart Attack and A Night At The Opera, and they both really need to be played from start to finish for full impact and effect. Though Opera is commonly considered the better of the two, for me Sheer Heart Attack is their masterpiece, up there with the very best albums by any other artist, ever. My recommendation, Andy, is that you play that album all the way through (Brighton Rock opens it) for an experience I guarantee you will never forget. It'll blow you away like it did to me when I first heard it. when it was released 44 years ago. And it still does

[@notanotherenigma7759]

If you like Brian's guitar, check Brian May's Starfleet Project. It's only 3 songs. The title track is a cartoon theme song, the other two tracks, Blues Breaker (a jam to get use to playing together) and Let Me Out. It's Brian May and 4 other musos, including Edward Van Halen and Phil Chen on bass. I think it is at the end of Blues Breaker, if you listen close enough, you hear Eddie's top E string snap, but he still finishes his solo on the other 5 strings.

The guitar solo is incredibly amazing and probably Brian Mays best solo, but Freddie’s vocals on this song never really get talked about.

[@bryanburton6087]

The song is about Jimmy and Jenny on holiday meeting and falling in "love" at a fair. Hence the fairground noises at the beginning. Jenny's parts are sang in Freddie's high register. Jenny falls in love with Jimmy and writes him letters. Jimmy replies that he must "away" because if his wife found out he would be in trouble. Simple song by Brian that showcases his "guitar choir" where he overdubs guitar parts numerous times to get an almost choral sound. Every album prior to "The Game" boasted the fact that no synthesizers were used, but the overdubs made it sound like maybe they were. And, yes, you are correct about Roger Taylor. He can drum! And has a beautiful singing voice. This is my favorite Queen album. It's so diverse and, in my mind, is the point where Queen becomes the Queen we all know and love. Stick to this album for a bit. It has a lot to offer. "Stone Cold Crazy" will blow your mind. But, if you are doing "Mustapha" then I am on board for that. Fast song that will put a smile on your face. What Queen song doesn't make you smile, though? Peace

[@andyandalex]

Did you know that Brian still plays with younger bands from time to time? Like, one time he performed The Black Parade with My Chemical Romance (and was naturally the best thing about that performance since they aren’t the best concert band BUT that song was partly written to honor Queen and the lead singer incorporates a bunch of Freddie’s moves into the performance so that is tear jerking). Brian also wrote some stuff recently in honor of his work with NASA on the New Horizons probe.

Man I was raised on Floyd and Queen and the like. I can say with some certainty that I have never heard this before. That guitar solo was epic. There's an interview with Brian May where he talks about his guitar and its sound. Think he said its to do with extra pick-ups that he installed while building it. Apparently he designed and built the guitar with his dad in his dads shed. I'm sure someone on here could tell you more than I could on the subject 😁

[@andyandalex]

A H That’s awesome man, I’ll definitely have to read up on it more, cheers friend! 😁🔥

@@andyandalex totally right Brian and his dad built the red special and brain built in pick ups and other things thats why the sound is so unique

[@Khrysalis01]

Bri also plays with a sixpence coin, not a pick. They are no longer made but a few years back arrangements were made to recreate a sixpence, but with Brian’s head on the face of it, instead of Queen Elizabeth. I reckon she didn’t mind much as she had Bri play “God Save The Queen” on the roof of Buckingham Palace during her Golden Jubilee in 2002. Roger Taylor and the rest of the musicians stayed down on the ground to accompany him, which was a feat in itself. It had to be timed precisely because of the distance from Brian, otherwise it would have sounded terribly out of sync.

[@sherryheim5504]

Queen doesn't ever want to repeat things, they want to change it up for every album. They are professionals and they have a lot of ideas between the four of them and each of them writes completely different styles of music. Brian likes hard metal type rock, though with that said some of his pieces are so soft and beautiful. Roger is totally rock and roll, John has his own style and Freddie is all over the map with what he likes but he writes mostly ballads about love and pain or so he says. Freddie also said in an interview when asked how much music does he write? His answer: "About 12 songs a day." Can you imagine the songs by him that nobody has ever even heard?

It's almost like his guitar has a unique voice that you can tell is Brian May's guitar playing. Another good song to play is March of the White Queen. His guitar is mesmerizing in that song. I think you will love it. I've only listened to the live version from Live at the Rainbow. The song as a whole is awesome, with Freddie singing, performing and playing piano as well.

One more irrelevant link. Nina Hagen, Naturträne. Inspired madness. kzbin.info/www/bejne/anWQnoSknrugn9U Edit: Had some trouble trying to post this earlier, keeping it together with the rest of my clutter, so I've added a new comment for it. She goes operatic and mock-serious. (Terribly mocking. She really hams it up, and it's quite funny.) It's just another one of those songs it's important to experience at least once in a lifetime, so I have to post the link. (Actually she did a cover of White Punks on Dope, too. It's cool, but the Tubes are the best.)

Yet more, all logjamming around this spot. Because it's Xmas, 'tis the season of Xmas Death Jazz, Panzerballett, and Rudolf (of which there is another version out there for anyone for whom this is not quite enough). I think this might be the end of this run of essentialia. Better be, hey? kzbin.info/www/bejne/i527knxpopeYp80

[@richbeckage2515]

Sorry to disagree John but there's a really big difference between Brighton Rock or keep yourself alive and we are the champions or Another One Bites the Dust big difference ZZ Top did the same thing and I love ZZ Top old stuff Merry Christmas

rich beckage Hey friend you pasted this open rather then on the comment you wanted to comment on! Cheers! 😁

First of all just the name "Brighton Rock" has quite a few associations if you live in England. Brighton is a town on the south coast of England that became famous as a place for Londoners to go to the sea and let it all hang out, it's a very lively town and has a very gay scene. See www.buzzfeed.com/kimberleydadds/things-you-simply-must-do-in-brighton. Also old British seaside towns sell long sticks of hard candy called "rock" that you can suck or break your teeth on while getting type 2 diabetes. Down the center of the sticks of rock is the name of the town. So a stick of "Brighton Rock" will have the word "Brighton" down the middle, but you can get personalised sticks www.letteredrock.co.uk/ . Then of course "Rock" means music. So Queen calling a track "Brighton Rock" manages to combine the idea of music, with the idea of hard sticks that you suck on, with the Brighton gay scene. Quite of lot of mixed up euphemisms.

@Bill B. 😁😁

[@ZalMoxis]

All Queen LPs are superb up until and including The Game.... I love Brighton Rock... it's a great guitar expose..... not to mention everything Queen....and what a way to open the album eh...??? No bands can make stuff like this today..... Hey "Mustapha" is related to Freddie's Zoroastrian faith..... Have you done White Man, Ogre Battle, March of the Black Queen or the Prophet's Song ?

[@carloseduardonocera3315]

Stone Cold crazy ! React great channel !!

[@andyandalex]

carlos eduardo nocera Thank you for the suggestion and the compliment my friend! 😁

[@hannyhawkins7804]

QUEEN - Brighton Rock (Live) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZO9aYWCZ7uEo7c or Brighton Rock Solo (Live at Wembley 11-07-1986) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHeYiIKfh72Mi68

[@sheikyebouti184]

Hi Andy. Would also recommend 'Now I'm Here' from the same album, as well as the opening two tracks on Queen II (as they blend into one) 'Procession/Father to Son'

[@eyeonit469]

Now I'm Here Hungary 86...John and Brian go at it

[@LCharms]

[@hermanjanssens9550]

[@andyandalex]

herman janssens I’ll get to them friend I promise!! There’s a lot of Queen songs you guys have given me! Trying to do them in the order they were given, cheers! 🔥😁

[@commentingonly7337]

As much as I love Queen, my 2 favorite rhythm sections have to be from UFO and Blue Öyster Cult. Pete Way and Albert Bouchard are gods

[@andyandalex]

Commenting only I’ll have to check them out!

[@johnfloyd4166]

Class tune xx

Andy. Another gem from the same album, Bring back that Leroy Brown .cheers from the woodvale ULSTER.🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@badgerno194]

There best album…the vinyl cost me 15p….in 1985…I went through about 3needles on my record player blasting this album….Love Queen…not so much now with the 🇺🇸 dude fronting..Some things should be left alone lol 😂

[@Ailise80]

The drums on this song are epic!

[@andyandalex]

Allie E. James Yessss!!! 🔥😁

[@calvin8935]

You should check out Dead on Time if you want a killer (Queen) guitar riff!! Brian was insane there, the song probably has his fastest guitar playing tbh. And for John to follow such a quick riff is also insane. Queen went quite heavy there. Must give it a shot!

[@wpollock1]

Follow this up with "Now I'm Here".....Agree that is why I love this album the best. Harder rock sound.

[@s.a.1953]

White Man - Day at The Races. You'll love it!

[@ritachokler]

Written by Brian May, “Brighton Rock” tells the story of two young lovers named Jenny and Jimmy meeting in Brighton on a public holiday. Mods travelling to Brighton on bank holidays was a popular narrative at the time (see The Who’s Quadrophenia). The song includes an unaccompanied guitar solo interlude, which used delay to build up guitar harmony and contrapuntal melodic lines. The studio version only contains one “main” guitar and one “echoed” guitar for a short section, but live, May would usually split his guitar signal into “main” and two “echoed”, with each going to a separate bank of amplifiers. Original Working Titles for this song were: “Happy Little Fuck”, “Happy Little Day”, “Blackpool Rock”, “Bognor Ballad”, “Southend Sea Scout”, “Skiffle Rock and Herne Bay”. Session engineer Mike Stone is the likely culprit of some of the titles, though the band members themselves frequently employed working titles during the song development process.

[@andyandalex]

@Rita Chokler That’s awesome thanks for sharing! 😁

[@capcolombie3834]

The ending of the last track on the previous album Queen II which is "7 Seas Of Rhye' is an old British song called 'I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside' which dovetails into the start of this track which is the sounds of a funfair at the seaside, which is what Brighton is, a seaside resort. Clever buggers that Queen huh?

[@sundareshvenugopal6575]

If they viewed themselves as a purely rock and roll outfit this would have been a good signature song to kick-start their every live act/performance with, subsequent to its release. A celebration of and a tribute to rock 'n roll and love , all in one song. But clearly they were eager and ready to explore every form of music and did not appear to fear or to shy away from any prospect. The one's who hate "Hot Space", and religiously flay Queen for venturing into disco space have a closed, shut-off mind, and have not given it a patient hearing.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but the guitar during the solo is not double-tracked, it's played live on an echo effect pedal, so that he's playing against himself in real time. This is just blow-your-mind in the Live at Wimbledon version.
