This is a 1st time listen and reaction so folks please remember my reaction is done on the spot. No script, no pre-recorded stuff. I am bringing you a real and raw honest 1st time reaction.

1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky Second guitarist is Jamie Moses, who I toured with when he was playing with Eric Burdon back in the 80s Neil Murray on bass, Spike Edney on Keys and of course Coxy who I touted with when the three of them were playing with Blues Legend Peter Green in the 90s

[@bingobillable]

If you’ve ever tried to play drums, a solo like that can not be called effortless. I’ve never seen an overweight drummer. I listened to this to see where the 1812 overture was incorporated. Impressive performance. Thanks for reacting to this.

[@dianefowler8779]

3:07 This is Brian in full hard-rock mode! Wow!

[@jackrogers1992]

It’s BHM on the pick-up. Brian Harold May

[@chicochi3]

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Often done with cannons.

[@DukeEnlil]

This is the copy of his guitar and the letters on the pickups are B.M.G.(Brian May Guitars)

[@paulclarke8925]

Yes made by guild, they're dimarzio pickups. A bit more aggressive sounding than the original burns in his main guitar

[@Terri6868]

I think it’s Bri’s initials B H M in cursive. 🔥🎸

[@lcbcreative]

Great video! Embarrassed to say I had not heard of Cozy Powell, but he is phenomenal so I'm off to do a little research.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Perhaps I'll be doing some more... so there is chance to explore whilst I do too. 🥰🥰🥁🥁🤘🏾⚡💯

[@carolannwalkup6533]

LCB, don't be Embarrassed, I had not heard of Cozy Powell either, until I watch this, he was a great drummer, and I also must do a little research on him also, funny how you can learn new artist when you watch reactions, and HAP, your the greatest as I have said before

[@JohnHazelwood58]

Nice review! Thanks! I saw Cozy doing the solo live in 1993 ... it was amazing! It'sven more impressive when you are in the audience and also see all the light effects ...

[@ben1ben]

YOU ACTUALLY DID IT :O. 14:13 Cozy uses double bass drums, that's a part of what he is known for. 14:43 I'm not sure I thought it says Brian but I guess it doesn't. 16:56 I don't know them either but I shout them out right here :). 17:31 Roger couldn't play Resurrection like Cozy did especially nowadays its a no, would be really I would say a ''-1'' because not only doesn't Roger have the power and also the Double bass drum kit, but also Cozy made the studio track too which means Roger would have to completely switch his playing Style into Cozy's. 17:49 yea the throwing the stick thing was part of all his Drum solos, so it was normal for him to do, if he failed catching the stick in the air he would just pause the show for a second and get a new stick until he caught it, I think at this point he has done it so many times he just had it in his blood to catch it here. Same with his thing he did at 9:45 he is really going through his tom toms and the snare with flashing lights, it was part of most of his drum solos so I guess he just could do it by now because he did it many times. Shoutout to the guy with the Lights by the way, the whole Drum solo was also a Light show xD. Your reaction made my day I didn't expect to see this today already. Thanks for the shoutout, and a huge thank you again for doing this Reaction. (I see 3 dislikes and it makes me sad, I really dont understand how people could dislike this). Your reaction was amazing, nice analyzing and all that stuff you always do. Thank you thank you thank you. Yea I think Roger could've learned the stuff Cozy did but I think he was also focusing on back up singing, Cozy is no singer so that's a thing too. Also Cozy was a part of the people who invented the drumming we know nowadays so yea he is a Legend RIP. Everyone who had an interaction, or was friends with him said he was an Amazing Person and was very good at cheering up. And yea I love Resurrection soo much and Cozy made it even better in every way. The only thing I was sad about is Brian not doing that amazing Killer Tapping Guitar solo that he did in the studio version, but there is raw footage of a difference performance where he tried it, its the only live tapping I had ever seen from Brian (and I guess Brian was really tired there because that solo was a little horrible) So I guess Brian just stopped doing the tap guitar solo live. Its still an amazing song, very different live from the studio but both are worth getting listened to :). _Great Reaction and thank you again :)_

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Totally welcome friend. 🥁🥁🥁🥁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thanks for your insightful comment regarding double bass. Yes Resurrection is a banger in itself.

[@hippiejane2683]

Brian has had so many tragedies and health issues in his life. Cozy Powell was just one more mountain to climb. He was such a big part of the Brian May Band. This whole concert is fantastic. Check out Driven By You or Since You’ve Been Gone.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Hi yes they were unfortunate events. Jane, there is a Brian May playlist on the channel. Driven By You is there, but I don't think the other song is. I'll try. Here is the playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLJ9YwB64vpLnXetLCeNRlHmtJNOT69HWD

[@alisa818]

oh yes, he did an amazing cover of Since You've Been Gone! almost better than the original in my opinion.

[@hippiejane2683]

@@HAP3SPEAKZ Thanks. Didn’t know you had a playlist for him. Here’s an unknown one to check out too. It’s called Teasin’ Around. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4ukaHhtgc-ro6c It’s amazing!

[@Terri6868]

Should do Headlong @ the Brixton Academy I think this is the same concert. Brian & Cozy Rock all the way through. Brian was the real rocker in Queen. RIP Cozy.🎸🎸🥁

[@deeyears3978]

Brian was the real rocker of Queen as you can tell by his solo career! Resurrection, Brian’s healing song for his depression after Freddie died, his breakup with Chrissy and affair with Anita. He again was depressed when Cozy (one of the best drummers) died. Brian is a surprisingly great Rocker! The Big Bang was from the Overture of 1812 (Mozart?) He had to put BoRaph in there ( just showing off him on the red special and Cozy’s drumming) Great reaction once again Hap! It looks like Brian’ initials to me. Dr. Brian May, the greatest guitarist ever! 👨🏻‍🎓💥🪐☄️🎸🥁👆❤️

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Mozart... not quite sure.

[@celticpoet21]

The 1812 overture was composed by Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, who also composed the ballets Swan Lake and The Nutcracker.

[@deeyears3978]

Diana North Sorry wasn’t sure and took a guess

[@sherryheim5504]

I am not sure but it looked like it said BHM for Brian Harold May. The other electric guitar player is Jamie Moses. Awesome band, every person is fantastic.

[@kenholst3541]

Great drummer RIP Cozy. I remember him and Roger being on a game show together

[@debramoore7513]

Loved this reaction!! Wow - Cozy Powell is phenomenal. Dr. Brian May is beyond talented and a genius in every way. Brian uses a coin as the pick when he plays his guitar. Said it gives the guitar interesting sounds. You should react to “Get Down Make Love” live in Montreal 1981 ... lots of interesting sounds from Brian’s guitar and the famous Deacy Amp! Great song and vocals from Freddie!!!

[@joymaxs2874]

Wow!!! Amazing performance! And great reaction as always! Thank you Hap ❤️ you look good in that white top by the way 😁

[@chicochi3]

B H M Brian Harold May

[@markpalmer7215]

Cozy Powell another great musician taken too soon. That’s not the red special, it’s a copy, kinda the forerunner to the brand that you easily buy these days...that Brian sometimes used...and the engraving is Brian’s signature. If you notice he changes guitars during the song from original to copy

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Dam!!! Good observation. But why the change? Anyway thanks for the tidbit.

[@ben1ben]

@@HAP3SPEAKZ I saw in this concert he broke a string on a Guitar, don't know the 100% but he broke a string on a guitar somewhere and needed to change

[@markpalmer7215]

HAP3SPEAKZ I think as Big Ben states he broken a string...although there was a bit in this concert when none of the guitars worked 😬 he does use copies often these days each one is set up for slightly different sound...but of course the original is always used most.

[@denikennedy6675]

MY GOODNESS, SUPER NON STOP ENERGY. BRIAN GREAT AS EVER, BUT COZY POWELL, NOW THAT'S DRUMMING! WHAT IT TOOK FOR HIM TO KEEP GOING!... REALLY LIKED IT. ALWAYS FUN IN THE HOUSE WITH A TUNE LIKE THAT. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASTIC REACTION!!💯👏🎶👩‍🎤HAP3!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

You're welcome!!! Yes fun in the house which may include some head bopping and dancing.

[@The1queencollector]

I think Brian was getting over the flue here, I saw this tour in 1993 at the Royal Albert Hall, he was really poorly and his voice was nearly gone, he carried on like a pro, fantastic and I got to see Cozy before he sadly died.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

That must have been a great experience to witness Cozy live. Lucky we got these videos to somewhat feel that energy.

[@The1queencollector]

@@HAP3SPEAKZ it was, I still have my ticket somewhere and an old school bootleg tape of the concert

[@jiriuher635]

Cozy was the best drumer of the world.

[@tmphotography8443]

Pretty sure Cozy had a instrumental version of this , or at least part of the tune , and it grew from that .

[@martynlane2780]

Yes, cozy wrote the song or had the melody for it, so I'm lead to believe and offered it to Brian May.

[@iris67si]

​@@martynlane2780you are right, it was Cozy's track but then Brian wrote lyrics and added his guitar 🎸 ... and Resurrection was complete.

[@dianefowler8779]

There is more of this here on youtube - this is from the Brian May Band, concert at Brixton Academy.

[@sumerfluffy]

Get down on those air drums!! I loved it actually. Wonderful reaction? 🎃

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Air drums... we'll perhaps next time 😊🥰😁🥁

[@jonhouse426]

Taken from The Brian May Band live at Brixton Academy 1993. Fantastic concert and well worth a full watch folks.

Hap, The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and The British Empire. We won....

[@nanner3200]

Just hanging here at 4 am (can't sleep) so stalking your videos (and a few others....sorry) Not sure I've ever seen this before. Rock on Brian! Cozy is amazing! WOW! Ever notice how Dr Brian can belt out but barely open his mouth? That alone is a talent. Maybe? Hope we get to see the white sweater (sorry. Jumper) again this winter. Looks nice on you. Sheeeet. My phone just gave a freeze warning! Tooooooo early for that! Do you even get those there? Anyway hi from 2 yrs in the future, almost to the day. I'm off to stalk some more. Have a great day!

[@Queenfbrj1]

04:16 is still the red special. We notice by the red headstock with nothing written. At 04:23, The third solo, is still the old lady. At 04:43, we can barely see Brian going to change the guitar for some reason. At 05:25 we can see the guild guitar, with a black headstosck and the word GUILD on it!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Appreciate the time stamps Edney 🎸

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

Very impressive canons in 1812 ouverture. - But I agree with Roger - drumsoloes is just showing off - - even though he is accomplished . Roger preferred to be part of the songs - as he say:people go out for hot-dogs because they are bored..

[@alextheguitarist7282]

Ooh Brian's band...nice. You should check out Son and Daughter both Live at rainbow and the album version. I'll try to find the link to the live one.

[@korinalacount2664]

Ive said it before but u have a good voice Hap,when u do your little snippets here and there,this set was awesome,Brian did like to rock out,he was the hard rocker the most of the 4 of queen,drummer was good on par with and as good as Rodger! I think on next tour Brian should sing Bohemian Rhapsody some times with Adam or solo,he really rocks it out,love this version of the song.

[@ben1ben]

its Roger* not Rodger :)

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks Korina... I'll stick with just doing snippets. 🥰

[@danielfrench753]

Great reaction HAP, this whole concert was epic, you should certainly check out more songs from this concert, like Driven By You and Tie Your Mother Down!! Brian also does a live version of Headlong!! Just so you know, the rest of the Band are: Jaime Moses (Rhythm Guitar), Spike Edney (Keyboards), Neil Murray (Bass Guitar) and Shelly Preston and Cathy Porter (Backing Vocals).
