I love Asia's reaction to this. BJ, this is the 70's, not the 80's, brother, the styles and hair were a lot different between the two decades. What most people don't realize about this video and it's significance is that this was the first of it's kind. No other band had ever done a "movie", "video" to promote a single, or an album before this. This video inspired every other band in the world to try and replicate this process and it also help to create MTV and VH-1. Without these kind of music videos, there would never have been the cable TV stations. Please react to The March of the Black Queen, 1974, from the Queen II album. That song was the prelude to Bo Rap.

[@sianpearson9927]

I was 16 when this came out in 1975, it was a huge hit with us youngsters , we had never heard anything like this before. I remember at school one day we were lined up outside of a classroom waiting for our teacher to arrive , we got bored waiting and two boys started singing this , we all joined in singing it from the beginning , other pupils passing by stopped and even the headmaster came out from his study to listen to us. It was such fun.

[@DBLCreations]

Must've been great i'm sure! Sadly, by the time i reached 16 it was already the year 2001 and so much had changed already. The only thing i'm really happy for is that i got still a little part of my life that i was "concious" enough (mid 90's to 2000's) where i really really loved everything in life, i was happy! I still was up until 2009. But times had already changed very much and in 2009 i got leukemia. Everything went downhill from there to be honest. I needed a stemcel-transplantation in 2010, i got Graft versus Host Disease in 2012 and ended up in a wheelchair. And since 2012 i got in and out of the hospital each year, sometimes weekly, sometimes every other month. Much recently i got my two Pfizer vaccins and two weeks later i got covid after being safe for 17 months! I finally ended up in coma for 12 days and was tied to my bed for three days straight while intubated. Having claustrofobie, that ain't no joke i can reassure you that! Now i'm still recovering. But while in coma they have seen that my heart has a bad "valve" and i will need open surgery at some point in life. It might be soon or late, that is something we don't know yet. At the moment i'm too weak to even think about surgery. I also have endocarditis (which is a bacteria) on that same valve on my heart. And to make it all complete, my mom passed away almost three years ago. So yeah. The 70's absolutely must've been wonderful times, much more respect for towards each other just in general i think! Anyway, sorry to everyone to bother you with my story. I just like to write it off me sometimes. 😀 I wish you all the best! 🙏🏼

@Only Good Music , no comparison between Queen and Kraftwerk here. This is all about Queen here

[@ExarchGaming]

autotune isn't what people think it is. it doesn't make people who can't sing be able to suddenly sing. It just smooths out pitch, the obvious effect of when you use it on someone who can't sing it sounds like a robot, because you have to turn the retune speed down so far. Plenty of artists today who have music that is known for their singing ability have auto tune on their studio albums, you'd be insane to say that most of them don't have obvious vocal talent.

Bohemian Rhapsody is the apex of rock opera. This song is a musical roller coaster. An amazing fact about Queens' lead guitarist Brian May. He was actually working on getting his Ph.D in astrophysics when Queen was formed. Music meant so much to him so he put his doctorate on the back burner. After Freddie Mercury died, Queen disbanded. Even while still part of the group Brian and his father designed and built a new kind of guitar. Brian's IQ has been measured in the 160's. That's even beyond Big Bang Theory smart. So he was a real genius on top of being a musical genius. after Queen disbanded, Brian went back to working toward his doctorate. He finally got it in 2006 or 7. He's now Dr. Brian May Ph.D. He's also written about 6 books on the subject of astrophysics. He's even works with NASA periodically.

I'm 50 years old and have been listening to this song (and Queen) my whole life - probably heard "Bohemian Rhapsody" 25,000 times - it STILl gives me goosebumps. Thanks for the fun, witty, smart reaction.

[@ikshields]

Make no mistake, now - Queen was doing campy weird stuff, and they knew it, and we knew it, and everybody loved it. “Bohemian Rhapsody” was a hoot, and had us all trying to memorize its crazy mini-opera routine. This is all before mentioning how good they were (VERY good), and how hard they rocked (VERY hard). A truly unique band, and Freddy Mercury was one incredible singer/songwriter.

[@teensymom1420]

I was 15 when this came out and believe me when I tell you, this blew us away. First of all there was no such thing as a music video so I had never seen anything like it. Queen - original and timeless. Miss you Freddie!

[@SirManfly]

Me too ! Queen, Boston, Kiss all kept me from going nuts in my teen years !!

[@weldonbailey1005]

Same here. ^ Saw all 3 in concert and sooo many more. Dont forget Led Zep, Bad Company, ZZ Top, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Peter Frampton, Pink Floyd, Nazareth, Deep Purple, Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, on & on & on just wayyyy too many great bands to list and such a quality variety of music to enjoy. I also was born in 1960 and there were just so many great concerts I was fortunate to be able to attend and enjoy. Real music played by innovative talented musicians. Those times cannot ever be duplicated. Mark

It is unbelievable, this video is from year 1975, so beautiful, so fresh. It was hard work to create song like Bohemian Rhapsody in this time for sure, great band

$5000 that changed the music industry and still has an impact today. Challenge that.

Freddie Mercury's bohemian Rhapsody performance is so iconic, that it makes it considerably risky for anyone to cover.

[@debramoore7513]

Yep, not a fan of other artists doing a cover of Queen!

[@habitsrabbit]

Agreed, though I've heard a _few_ good covers, just a few though, many have _tried_ to cover Queen and failed miserably lol. The good covers tried but they can't even come close to Freddie and the rest of the band..

[@debramoore7513]

@@bettybaby63 YESSSS - So I’ve been avoiding Marc Martel for the same “personal” reasons. Then a Queenmate sent me a link of Martel singing Too Much Love Will Kill You!! So, with lots of hesitation & anxiety I clicked the link. Tho Marc is a good singer he’s nothing like Freddie!! The warmth, emotion, texture, vocal range, & power of Freddie’s voice is unmatched! Scientifically it’s been proven that Freddie has the most unique voice in Rock n Roll. So the conclusion is why would I listen to a cover when I can listen to Freddie??

[@jerickson725]

I agree that nobody can sing it like Freddie, but Pink has done it live several times on tour and it's quite fantastic. Not just her incredible voice, but her band and back up singers are impressive on this cover as well. You should check it out!

Just a quick note that the remaining members of Queen after hearing Angalina Jordan's version, Allowed her to publish and produce her version with their blessing. They went on to say the Freddy would have Loved her version also.. this is the only time in history they allowed this, and she gratefully excepted...

Home Free is a great a capella group. I have to check out Pentatonix, I don't know them yet. I just heard Home Free a few weeks ago. They do a great "Man of Constant Sorrow", "The Gambler", "Elvira", "When a Man Loves a Woman", so many awesome covers.

Karyl I caught the Home Free bug six months ago and I am still caught up with them.

The musical chapters in the storytelling always got me. The murder, the jail, the trial, and the verdict afterwards. They change tones for each part to highlight the emotions. From the slow piano as he realizes what he did to amazing guitar as he lashes out at the world after he is sentenced.

[@beyondlondon8600]

I also think that the rock part is a flashback to his frame of mind when he murdered (who I believe to be) his lover. I always thought it was his angry reaction to the jury but recently I’ve changed my mind. I think we got a glimpse into the murder itself.

[@jameskimball762]

The entire song is in metaphors! Freddy didn’t shoot a man with a gun it’s a metaphors! He was struggling with being gay and he wrote this song as a farewell to his former self by putting a gun to his own head and killing the former self and apologizing to his saddened mother whom he really loved! He had a rebirth in his sad new self in a troubled life yet he didn’t care and carried on! He later died of aids in 1991 by his wrong decision and lifestyle! It was an epic song from mid 1975. The Guinness book of recorded stated that Bohemian Rhapsody was truly a MASTERPIECE and worthy of being the BEST rock song ever written! Even ahead of the Beatles, whom Queen collectively respect and admired!

[@timothyhedrick5295]

Freddy Mercury was such an amazing groundbreaker. Funny that Asia remarked about his big hair because he is almost unrecognizable to me with that. He later went to an almost military crew cut style which is how I always picture him. There is a fantastic biographical movies about Queen and Mercury that came out in 2018 or 2019, also entitled "Bohemian Rhapsody" that is really outstanding. I also recall having the same reaction as Asia when I first heard this song as a teenager in the early 80's like "wth.... is this I'm listening to????" But then it just grows on you.

"The biggest incident of dramatic license in Bohemian Rhapsody is the timing of Freddie Mercury's HIV diagnosis. In a heart-breaking scene, the singer tells his bandmates that he has the condition at a rehearsal for Live Aid. They perform the biggest show of their lives with this tragic knowledge." some musics are just sounds like life itself... for me this song is one of them.

The legendary Freddy Mercury. Arguably the best singer in recorded history so far! Sure there are people with a bigger range, but his voice in and of itself is so unique. And his power combined with a slightly raspy, but still clean as a whistle. Add his performance level to that, and you simply can't beat it!

[@sharonallforloveandpositiv5497]

This song is around 45 to 46 years old. It was the first one of it's kind to be over 6 minutes long with different musical sections. Also the first to ever have video made for show on a programme called Top of the Pops.. because they were touring. This song has now reached Diamond status in sales and streams...no other song has achieved this in the UK. This song will live on forever. It is a masterpiece, more so because of all the different genres.. ballad, pop, rock and Opera. Rhapsody actually means different types of genres. This song saved the band from bankruptcy and they almost thought about splitting up. This was around 1975?.. hence the outfits and hair. This type of song has never been done before or since. Freddie Mercury was a genius in music writing and production.. They all in the band wrote no.1 hits.. Another one Bites the dust, Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga...amongst other famous songs still used today as anthems, We will Rock you, and We are the Champions.

[@EspireAnima]

Much like Vincent van Gogh Queen was not very appreciated in their time with this being the anomaly as they truly hit their stride late in their careers during Live Aid where they owned the show. True art though stands the test of time and in this case comes to be more and more appreciated as new audiences come to experience it for the first time first hearing its legend then experiencing the majesty of the art before them.

@@Cloudyvi Yes, but there is only one Bohemian Rhapsody. It is one of the songs that defines the 70’s. It still resonates today with most people around the world. One planet can’t be wrong. Not many covers of that song out there (with rights Approval from Queen). Angelina did not re-write the song. She gave it a different interpretation using same words. In addition, AGT gives singing participants a 3 minute window to put on their show. She used the most poignant part of the song. Queen liked Angelina’s so much they tweeted out congratulations and gave her approval to release it on her own sites (which they rarely, if ever allow).
