It warms my heart to see young people hearing Queen for the first time. I spent my 24th birthday at the Queen concert in Montreal, 1981. You'll be blown away watching Somebody To Love from that concert. The best live performance I've ever heard. "I won't be a rock star. I'll be a legend" - Freddie Mercury -. Check out the crowd singing this song before a huge Greehday concert. Millions know Queen and Freddie was the King.

Agree 100% that Freddie was the greatest front man ever. I was fortunate to see Queen live in Pittsburgh in 1974 when I was 16 years old. Freddie Mercury owned the stage. I've seen The Rolling Stones live and Mick Jagger's a great front man, lots of energy but I'll take Freddie. I've seen a lot of bands in my 65 years starting wit The Beatles live in Pittsburgh at age six. You couldn't hear much of anything because there were over 12,500 teenage girls screaming and I mean screaming. One hell of an experience that I've never forgotten. I've seen, like I said The Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who and many others but Queen was the greatest live band I've ever seen. The only push back I would put on your comment "The greatest legacy ever" is that little known band The Beatles by far have the greatest legacy in the history of recorded music and it ain't even close. Queen, a great band but not The Beatles but then no one was or ever will be The Beatles. Freddie stated that when he first heard The Beatles in 1963 he knew right then that someday he wanted to be in a rock band. No Beatles, probably no Queen along with these other bands that I mentioned except The Stones. They were doing their own thing in London in 1963 while The Beatles were doing their thing in Liverpool. Lennon and McCartney did write the Stones first #1 hit for them. The Beatles were quite simply the greatest and influential band ever to this day. In just seven short years they took popular music in new directions that has never been equalled to this day. Easily the most innovative band ever and downright genius in that band. Peace ❤

Queen is a British rock band that was formed in 1970 and was comprised of: Freddie Mercury - Lead vocals and pianist Roger Taylor - Drummer and vocals Brian May - Lead guitar and vocals John Deacon - Bass guitar Queen is an unusual rock band. All four members had amazing musical talent and each of the four members was a successful composer. Queen is the only group in which all members of the band have songs inducted into the Music Hall of Fame. Each member of Queen was a strong and unique individual. They each had different musical tastes which is probably why Queen's catalog of music contains such a variety of genres. They wrote and recorded songs that are soft rock, hard rock, progressive rock, arena rock, thrash rock, glam rock, rockabilly, r&b, blues, pop, soul, funk, disco, dance music, jazz, gospel, folk, opera, show tunes, ragtime, etc. They would sometimes combine multiple genres in a single song. "Bohemian Rhapsody" released originally in 1975 is the creation of Freddie Mercury but he never told anyone what he was thinking when he wrote the lyrics. It is actually 3 different songs that Freddie was writing that he just smashed together adding bridges and transistions. BTW - What they were singing was"Galileo Galileo", the Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer.

Can you imagine how people reacted when this song started playing on radio stations in late 1975? Are you sh*tt*ng me??? Some stations wouldn’t play it because it was SO different! Not to mention the violent imagery it starts out with. But we ALL knew we were listening to an instant classic. A lot of people (me included) had a very emotional reaction to it, as it is an incredibly sad song. It is now considered one of the greatest songs ever created in the Rock era, or any era really. And Queen shot up to the top of everyone’s list when it came to musical excellence, harmony, and creativity. A few Queen song suggestions: “Somebody To Love,” “You’re My Best Friend,” “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are The Champions.” And if you want to see how one man (Lead Singer, Freddie Mercury) can make 80,000 fans eat out of the palm of his hand, watch the “Queen Live At Wembly Stadium” video (1985). Yeah, a lot of good sh*t went down before you kids were born. Hard to believe, I know.

Queen is a British band of 4 men, there are no women in the band. Long hair was a thing back then. It was a time known as GlamRock so the clothes were different, too. 1.5 Billion views on this song and that is just on KZbin. It is an iconic song and an iconic band. This song has been covered by just about everyone over the last 40+ years. This very same exact recording of this song has made it to #1 in three different decades as it just keeps coming back and charting again and again. You have probably heard Queen before, they did We Are The Champions, We Will Rock You and Another One Bites The Dust but their catalog is over 200 songs and would be more if the singer Freddie hadn't died in 1991 after the band was together for 20 years.

Freddie Mercury (lead singer) was working on writing three very different songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this epic masterpiece. One of the three was originally going to be called "The Cowboy Song" and is where the mention of a gun and shooting a man comes from. The beautiful harmony at the very beginning of the song is actually just Freddie harmonizing with himself on multiple tracks. Nothing else like it before or since. Not only do they sound amazing, they wrote all of their own songs, did VERY few covers. All of the members have written songs and all but John Deacon, the bass guitar master, sing. The drummer, Roger Taylor, does the most harmonizing and backup singing with Freddie. Brian's hair still looks like that, except now it's gone grey. And that wasn't a girl singing with Freddie, it was Roger Taylor, the drummer. He can hit high notes that only a dog can hear.

The person singing the high note in the operatic part is Roger Taylor, the drummer - and he’s saying Galileo, (a 15th Century physicist). Brian and Roger are still performing/touring as Queen, with a sold out North American tour starting this fall… Adam Lambert has been their lead singer for the past 12 yrs; Freddie sadly died in 1991 from AIDS. If you would like to see a really good mix of their songs, watch their live performance at Live Aid from 1985 - you’ll enjoy it! Thank-you for an interesting reaction to this iconic song!

The harmony at the beginning of the song was all done by Freddie. He harmonised with himself. Very clever. He was a beautiful person, inside & out. He is deeply missed. Freddie had a degree in graphic art & design, the lead guitarist Brian May is an astrophysicist, John Deacon has a degree in Electronics and Roger Taylor has a Bachelor's degree in biology - so they were all really clever & well educated. Listen to music/songs from the 1960's and 70's - brilliant and all done with no fancy sound mixers and enhancers - just great talent. 👍

@OTB BROS REACTIONS You guys looked impressed.❤ Listen again to what the lyric said. He starts with his "Nothing really matters, anyway the wind blows", attitude & simultanious, confession/apology to his mother about murdering a man. He says he may not return, he has thrown away his life, & now, he has to go and face the truth. He cries that he doesn't want to die & he wished he'd never been born at all. He instructs his mother to carry on as if nothing really matters. Opera style begins, & he sees himself in court on trial; "I see a little silhouetto of a man". His prosecutors sing, "Scaramoosh Scaramoosh will you do the fandango"? (Referring to a famous opera character that comes in & puts on a ridiculous fool's show to humor everyone). His defenders sing for him, "Send a bolt of lightening, very very frightening, me"! (This is his perception of what he is facing in trial-Death Penalty). His prosecutors continue singing, "Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, magnifico", they are taunting him about his artistically, magnificent performance, (sarcasm), which they call magnifico & attribute his characteristics comparible to a masterful painter-Galileo. (This is his trial & he is defending himself & facing rebuttal arguements). His defense: "I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me". His defenders try to help defend him; "He's just a poor boy from a poor family, spare him his life from his monstrosity"! His defense: "Easy come, easy go, will you let me go"? ( He points out how they have the power to easily spare him & let him go". They answer, "We will not let you go"! He begs, "Oh Mama Mia, (think of my mother), will you let me go"? They respond, "Bismila (In the name of God), NO, we will not let you go"! His defenders sing his verdict & result as they speak for his person; "Beelzebub (the devil), has a devil put aside for me....for me...for me"! Rock begins. Now he is angry because they will not spare him. To the court he pridefully & angerly states, "So you think you can stomp me & spit in my eye"? To his defenders & the public, he states, "So you think you can love me & leave me to die? Oh baby, don't do this to me baby, just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here"! Then he returns to the beginning, classical style & sings, "Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters to me". The gong sounds, he has accepted his fate, "Any way the wind blows". The same selfish attitude that caused his disregard for another man's life, was equally, delivered to him at his trial which equally, disregarded his pleas to save his own life; because he must pay the required consequences for his selfish action; murdering a man & stealing his breath of life demands that he equally lose his own life & die! It ends with how it begins; because nothing really mattered to him when he ended someone else's life, as if their life didn't matter. Yet, when he was going to have his own life taken away, suddenly, life mattered & it was everything to him. A timeless masterpiece!

The “gonorrhea” part (actually they were saying Galileo) was when the character, who killed a guy and confessed to his mother about it, was in court being sentenced to death. That was the whole no, no, no we will not let him go part was, sung by a chorus of judges after he pleads “i’m just a poor boy.” That’s why the music was shifting, the scenes were shifting as the story played out So the whole song is a rhapsody (3 parts) story about crime and punishment and class realities

this song is a video made in 1975. They did this as they were on a tour and could not do music shows across europe or amercia, so they played the video instead this was pre MTV coming to air. Steve PS - they are 4 blokes Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon.

Check out his 85 Aids Concert with 85,000 fans. Freddie sang Opera. A gift man. He died of Aids in 91. Forever missed.

It always surprises me that people haven’t heard Bohemian Rhapsody, it makes me wonder what songs other people would be surprised if someone had never heard.

Let me break down the song 'Bohemian rhapsody' by Queen, released in 1975, it became the band's first #1 single from their 4th album... (The late) Lead singer/ pianist Freddie Mercury wrote it, calling it a "mock opera"... Queen used 100+ overdubs in the studio to record the track - just layers and layers of vocals. The song 'Bohemian rhapsody' had such a huge impact that it charted on 3 different occasions - first as a hit single in 1975... second time in 1992 on the soundtrack of the movie "Wayne's World"... and a third time in 2008 as part of the Queen biopic movie "Bohemian rhapsody" starring Rami Malek as the late singer Freddie Mercury. They were not singing "gonorrhea" 🤣 It was "Galileo"... Opera is a very Italian cultural thing, so Italian figures like Galileo ... Figaro... were in the song ('magnifico' means magnificent) ... While "Bismillah" is Arabic for "In the name of God". Galileo Galilei was a real person from the 1500's in Italy and a tragic figure. He was an astronomer who made significant discoveries w/ his telescope observing the night sky... Besides astronomy, he made vital scientific discoveries, including inventing the thermoscope and military compasses. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church deemed his discoveries as "heretic" in 1615 (apparently, he had contradicted the Bible... the so-called 'Holy scriptures') ... He was tried by inquisition, forced to recant, and jailed for 'heresy' by the Church after 1632 and died in 1642. Centuries later, Galileo's work was proven correct and his imprisonment is regarded widely as unjust religious persecution and prosecution.
