DOUBLE REACTION! Stone Cold Crazy! Queen & Metallica | Father and Son Reaction!

[@imweakfordeaky]

Queen performing “Stone Cold Crazy” LIVE at The Rainbow, 1974 is even better than the studio version. Faster, heavier, and Brian’s solo absolutely blisters 🔥🔥🔥

[@Panda_man..]

Oh easily, they definitely have to react to that version of it

I concur u should have reacted to the live version .i mean wi do studio version wem there is a live version???!

[@michellewhaley4547]

Interestingly, Metallica won a Grammy for this cover in 1992 and Queen got no recognition for this back in the early 70’s when it was first recorded. Some people say that this song by Queen was the first thrash metal song. Have a great weekend! 🤘

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Wow interesting. If I had to get the reasoning for that, I’d say it could be because Queen weren’t that big when they released Stone Cold Crazy. On the other hand, Metallica were already universal when they released their cover! 🙌 -Ethan

[@deboraclark5791]

Queen never won a Grammy which is an absolutely disgraceful thing. Queen were innovators and many bands followed their hard driving music that they invented.

[@sergeinester6261]

Yeah it’s criminal Queen didn’t win a Grammy and Kanye has won how many ?

[@deboraclark5791]

@@fatherandsonreactions Yes at that time they were not that big, but they became huge shortly after. They put out all kinds of great music, but music critics for the most part trash them, because they couldn't put them in a box, Queen literally could do any genre of music, they were fearless. They became the people's band all over the world, teens to grannies loved them and still do. The Grammys snubbed them. But Queen will have the last laugh, they are negotiating the sale of their catalog, so far it will go for over 1.1 billion dollars, it will be astronomical.

Stone Cold Crazy isn't their heaviest song. "Modern Times Rock & Roll" is. In fact, I would put "Sheer Heart Attack" and "Dead on Time" ahead of it.

[@Danielik25]

[@michaelsgromolo7744]

Both versions kick ass. I believe this song was kinda like the gateway to thrash metal that became popular in the 80s. You had a point there Ethan when you said Metallica was inspired to make a cover of this. Metallica is a thrash metal band after all so they decided to do their own rendition of the song to kinda honor that song. Speaking of which Metallica is currently on tour right now and they are going to be playing shows with Pantera within the next month so go get the chance to see them if you can!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Woah Metallica & Pantera together? That sounds amazing. I’ll look into it - Ethan

Hello there! Now if Queen never had recorded that you'd think it was perfect for Metallica. The fast pace is equally good! Can't take anything away from Brian May but Metallica rocked it! Enjoy your weekend!

Brian May’s guitar sounds so much heavier than Metalica’s cover but both are great, I still give it to queen, they had a lot of heavy songs

[@warre1]

That's why I like version ofJames Hetfield perform this with Queen and Tommy Iommi in Freddie Mercury Tribute concert better than this one.

[@shmick6079]

Both are great. Original is well before it’s time, and Ethan’s absolutely right about the influence that the song had on younger bands that ended up doing speed and thrash metal years later. That’s probably why the Queen version got no mainstream attention back in the day. It might not have been palatable in that way. Metallica’s version has kinda become iconic. It’s a lot of fun live.

[@joebarrera9741]

I love both of these songs

[@ShawnDunbar-os4gw]

I think Stone Cold Crazy sounds like something that would be on Machine Head by Deep Purple

[@AllAboutLuhig]

Great Reaction! Metallica has an album full of covers, among other famous bands that made versions of songs like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, Motorhead among others

Queen Dead On Time

[@simonk7937]

You should compare the live versions of both of these .. Queen knock Metallica out the park on the studio version and even further in the live version.. 👌

[@davemac1197]

This is early Queen in 1974 (the album Sheer Heart Attack), before Bohemian Rhapsody, so it was still a little raw sounding. My sister was into them, but it's not to my taste. Best cover for me? I'd have to really think about it to come up with a list, but off the top of my head I'd have to go with Kim Wilde's 1986 cover of You Keep Me Hangin' On, a Holland-Dozier-Holland classic first recorded by the Supremes in 1966. Great to see y'all getting all excited though.

[@clarenceflam]

Funny you bring up Aerosmith as they have been considered worthy rivals to Queen during the 70s it is regarded they had a mutual respect for each other and the rivalry was friendly and competitive. SCC is considered the first song that would be considered the Thrash Metal genre which makes sense why Metallica covered it. It is well known they regard Queen as a direct influence on their music.

[@baseballfan172]

Great reaction! Love both versions and have heard both many times! I honestly think Hetfield’s voice fits the song better than Mercury’s voice but no question Freddy Mercury is the better singer! Also, still love the interaction between Larry and Ethan! Adds so much to the amazing reactions!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thanks so much for the kind words! 😃 -Ethan

[@stevegrey6022]

That was a great idea and it worked really well showing just how heavy Queen could be in their early days. If you want to do another another comparison I would suggest Queen's One Vision against Geburt Einer Nation by Laibach. Laibach emerged in the early 80s in Yugoslav-controlled Slovenia after the death of Tito. They declared their own utopian state art collective with passports and in 2015 they became the first Western rock band to tour North Korea - where they played their martial covers of songs from the Sound of Music!!!😁

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Woah! How was it even allowed for them to tour NK? -Ethan

[@joaopaulohenriques1404]

Fast pace early metal songs can also be found in Deep Purple, like in Highway Star.

[@GilesMcRiker]

Yeah it sounds like a Metallica song because they were more of a speed metal band than Queen, having come after them of course. Although at the time this was released, Queen and Sabbath were by no means the only bands playing heavy metal, the song is noted for being one of the first speed metal songs ever released. Although the English band the sweet released another proto speed metal song called "set me free" there is no question that this song was more influential And Queen was playing it on their European and American tours in the mid '70s, So people can be forgiven if they label this as the first speed metal song. The song was the first that had writing credits assigned to all four band members. Originally the song was a holdover from one of Freddy's early bands that never really went anywhere. Brian noticed Freddie goofing around with this manic-paced song, and eventually the band chiseled it into the polished diamond that it was to become. I like the clean version better, because Queen, but also because the song was very simple and to the point. It's true that Metallica added some guitar flourishes that developed after Eddie Van Halen and others, but I prefer the short and sweet version

They should have had Metallica set up so they could compare the two back to back. It is early Queen which like most bands is more raw and usually better. At least that’s my preference until they start generalizing their music to suit more people. Don’t want to say the words “sell out” but y’all know what I mean. Oh oh oh … I jumped the gun on my comments . Good job having them back to back. You read my mind… cheers! Ethan have you listened to Garage Inc? The tribute to Merciful Fate is awesome!
