FIRST TIME HEARING Queen - Somebody To Love Montreal 1981 (REACTION)

[@devonvergiels5185]

There are no bad Queen songs. Over 50 years of genius. And Freddie had many, many styles of presenting their songs, nothing was set in stone except professionalism and great fun, except for the very sad music just before he died.

[@austenrobinson2747]

No auto tune, special effects just 4 extremely raw talented musicians lead by the best voice and front man to ever step on a rock stage. Freddie Mercury the GOAT.

[@kellycrook543]

Freddie is the best singer that ever walked the earth!!!! LEGEND. GOAT!!!

[@beanmchne]

Can't argue that 👍

[@MichelleSanGiorgio]

Freddie only drank black tea with honey and lemon when performing . This was his favorite song 🎵! He adored performing it for his fans ❤

[@thomaspaysen-delleske6394]

These 4 guys became legends of the 70´s and 80´s and Freddie will always be one of the best singers, performers and icons in music. No one else ha this mix of a diva and same time interacting with the crowd like being just one of them as he did. I still feel grateful i´m old enough to know him before he passed away and i still got music of Queen in my car and turn on the volume when i hear them. 🙌

[@TArnoldFerguson]

A few fun facts about Queen: * Guitarist Sir Brian May has a Ph.D. in Astrophysics and built his electric guitar (Red Special) when he was 17 (with his dad). * Bassist John Deacon has a degree in electronics. He designed and built the amp that Brian sometimes uses to create unique sounds on Red Special. John was also involved in the band’s financial management. * Drummer Roger Taylor has a degree in biology (pre-med). His vocal range is better than most lead singers of other groups. * Lead singer Freddie Mercury has a degree in graphic design. It goes without saying that his vocal range was amazing and he was the best front man of any band. * All four have written #1 hits, and all are members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

[@sherryheim5504]

It is mind boggling that this can actually be a live performance. No earpiece, no auto-tune, just raw talent. This band is so awesome, every member is so talented. Thank you for your reaction. About the mic stand...one time during a show, the mic stand came loose from the base. Being the professional that Freddie was, he just continued on and actually loved the freedom that he had to move around without the base. This became Freddie's signature and even when cordless mics became a thing. he still used them on the stand. He even said that he really missed not having the cord when that went away. The mic stand became a prop for Freddie, he would use it to play air guitar and even use it in what appeared to be sexual ways while he was performing. Freddie had a bizarre sense of humor sometimes, but he is said to be the best front man of all time. In real life, Freddie was very shy but onstage, he was a powerhouse. Queen is a British band that was formed in 1970 and performed and recorded until 1991 when Freddie passed away. Yes, they were huge and have a catalog of over 200 songs.

[@irenedownie6559]

It’s not just Freddie. It’s Queen. All four of them are amazing- they’ve all written No 1 hits all around the world and have a vast catalogue which includes many different types of music that are all totally amazing. Best band ever!!!

[@GinMae]

YES!

[@lorrainenorris1448]

Note that there was no autotune and none of the four band members wear ear pieces that performers wear today to make sure they're coordinated with the backup music, band members and backup singers. They were masters!

[@marlainalindsey3279]

I love watching young people react to Queen 👑 for the first time ❤❤❤

Freddie was not just a magnificent singer he was an amazing entertainer there will never be another like him great singers come and go but there was only a legend like him 😢👑🌹

Freddie Mercury is the Best Frontman of rock ! Saludos desde Argentina

[@ChrisbG531]

Yep that’s how he performed!!!!

[@leslieporter9228]

One of the best video of theirs! The band is named Queen, the lead singer is Freddie Mercury. I would recommend watching Queen-Live Aid 1985! Each artist was limited to 20 minutes. That video was the biggest satellite hookup of the time. 1.9 Billion people watched this show live across the world! No act wanted to go on after Queen. Their set would be hard to beat! The Live Aid set is their best performance. They had a ton of hit records!!! I have a lot of their vinyl. Freddie died of AIDS at 45 y/o. The president wouldn't even speak that word until 1986 when people other than gay men were dying of the disease. Freddie had an awesome way of including the audience. Watch live aid and you will understand more about the band.

[@mrtim5363]

Queen-Live Aid 1985! is a must watch.

[@daviddavis2547]

Live Aid makes my spine tingle. Its phenomenal❤

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

This is like a robot just learned how to speak

[@leslieporter9228]

@@TheOrlandoTrustfull Sorry if you feel that way, I was merely answering questions you asked during your video

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

There are some great Queen documentaries you can watch on KZbin that will answer many of your questions. The microphone stand situation was a Freddie Mercury original. His use of it as you see it in this video was the way Freddie used it and wanted it. Also Freddie used all kinds of vocal affectations during his live performances which were always different. Never the same. He lived in the moment, as did the whole band, and never tried to make a live concert sound like the studio album. Queen wanted to give their audience an experience every time they performed. Energy is the key word with respect to Queen concerts! And they sound just as good and even better live on stage as they did on their albums. There are so many incredible Queen songs for you to experience. This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. 😁

[@stephenfurkay6378]

You won’t regret watching queen at the 1985 Live Aid concert - their set stole the show and it’s a great example of Freddie’s showmanship. One of the greatest live performances ever

[@petradorfer-ku3ms]

Freddie Mercury had an incredible voice! On stage he was just amazing (especially at the Live AID concert-QUEEN were of all other performer the best!!)! Even in his last years, when he was very sick and had problems with his voice and recorded the song "The Show Must Go On", he sang it with an tremendous power!

[@PamMyers-ze4ry]

The microphone with no base was his signature. He felt more free to move on the stage and engage with the audience. Welcome to Queen. Masters of the stage and a fan base like no other. You have heard some of their music not knowing that it was Queen. Hoping you go down this rabbit hole. RIP Freddie. There will never be another to fill his shoes.

[@incamoran9532]

That's not the reason he used half the mic stand. Although he did have more freedom to move, it started in one of their earliest live shows int he early 70s when he tried to take the mic off the stand and the middle joint disconnected, leaving him with just the upper part. He decided on the spot that he liked it and it would be his trademark.

[@mollyswanner1607]

Yes absolutely one of the best EVER!!!!! BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is a great one by queen!!! Too many good one's to write!!

[@kellycrook543]

YES....THE BEST BAND THAT EVER EXISTED!!!QUEEN!!! FREDDIE MERCURY, BEST FRONTMAN/SINGER EVER!!!

[@891Henry]

That is the way reddie likes his microphone. He uses it as prop and plays air guitar on it. Quintessential Freddie Mercury.

Queen is one of the top rock bands of all time, arguably THE best.

[@pammaggio8135]

FACTS!!! 💯

[@Suzismymom]

Queen. Freddie. Roger. Brian. John. No better band all around than Queen. You could do an entire channel devoted to Queen alone and still never tire of them. ❤

[@WinteryMix84]

I’m 66 years old. I get it that you would not know these old tunes. It was the 1900’s after all! I’m very impressed that you are open to explore the oldies-it was a great era to be alive!

[@joandeluca6846]

Love your reaction to hearing Queen and Freddie ‘The Legend’ Mercury for the first time! He NEVER took voice lessons. On the piano, he couldn’t read music well, but early on in his lessons could hear a song once, then play it perfectly. (Told by members of the first band, The Hectics) they formed while in a British Christian boys boarding school in Panchgani, India. You’ve just entered the Queen catalog. Listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You, and you may realize that you’ve heard them before. Hopefully you’ll discover how great they really were. My all time favorite band👑💛

[@nowhere982]

Oh Freddie, we miss you 😢❤❤❤❤.....always a legend

[@patriciakent6728]

Please react to QUEEN..,,"Live Aid Concert 1985" Wembly ❤❤ all their work is nothing but great!❤❤❤❤ Freddie Forever❤❤❤❤

[@mmaloneym]

Queen is the name of the band. The lead singer and front man is Freddie Mercury. All four members have written number 1 songs. They got huge after Freddie wrote Bohemian Rhapsody in 1975 and stayed that way until Freddie died in 1991. Three of the four members had excellent voices and their ability harmonize was amazing. By the way, Michael Jackson was a huge fan of Queen and attended many of their concerts. Freddie and Michael did a couple songs together. Queen is in a league of their own. This band actually sounds better live vs studio recordings. This was a time with NO Auto tune, no ear pieces etc. just pure raw talent. They were all self taught. Freddie never had a voice lesson or a voice coach and is still regarded as one of the best voices past and present.

[@martinbynion1589]

Despite the bottle of beer, most of those drinks would be Freddies's juice and honey mix to soother his vocal chords.

[@Albert_Val]

I’m one of your “older homies” that grew up listening to QUEEN, and I am SO proud of my 35 year old son, Patrick, who has my old QUEEN CD, which he loves. I’ve got my own “best hits” CD in my own car. You should treat yourself to the bands 1985 Live Aid performance, which has been dubbed the “greatest live performance ever!” I’m sure that if you ever played ANY High School sporting event, you will recognize at least one of their songs!

[@aardvarkhole]

I feel your pain. My son lifted my Queen’s Greatest Hits CD when he left for college in 1999.

[@MrBigPicture835]

Freddy's mike stand broke way back in the 70's, it became his trademark. He liked to keep moving when he was singing.

[@ashleyharris2883]

13:32 Absolutely. Queen was extremely big, and still is, anytime someone takes the time to listen to them ❤

[@snewhouse13]

Watch Queen Live Aid. Considered the greatest live concert of all time. And Freddy is considered the greatest front man of all time. Loved your reaction!

[@susanworkman529]

Queen is the band. Freddie Mercury is the lead singer/front man. One of the greatest voices of all times and a creative genius. Bohemian Rhapsody is their huge hit, a masterpiece of musical composition combining several genres and vocalizations. You must, not need to, but must react to it. ( i recommend you pull up the lyrics so you don't miss anything. The official video version is a listening and visual sensation to behold. The live stage version from the Live Aid concert is equally electrifying.with the entire crowd singing along. "We Are The Champions" is another one of their songs, which I'm sure you have heard but didn't know who sang it. Queen has a list of hits for your listening pleasure.

[@SharonLathanNovelist]

Oh my dear young man! Never let anyone get you down on your journey into the great music of the past. To be fair, while some people are simply haters and negative, more often those who say "You know ____!" mean that you very likely HAVE heard the classic songs without realizing it. These timeless tunes have been in numerous movies, commercials, and so on. In fact, when it comes to Queen, if you watch sports of any kind, I can guarantee you have heard "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions". Of all the hundreds of terrific artists from the past, Queen ranks in the top ten on ANY list. The talent in this group is top tier. Their song "Bohemian Rhapsody" is considered one of the greatest songs ever written. Tragically, the lead singer Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991, leaving an unfillable hole in the world of music. He is truly one of the greatest talents to ever grace a stage. Carry on in your quest! Ignore the negative comments, enjoy the ride, and keep your heart and mind open. God bless.

[@1031irishqueen]

If you pick up on the "Gospel Feeling" to this song, this was Freddie's tribute song to Aretha Franklin who he loved!

[@ajruther67]

Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1970 by Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), later joined by John Deacon (bass). Their earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock. The singer Freddie Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS in April 1987. He kept it secret from the public. Only his family and band mates knew. On November 23, 1991, he gave a press release to publicly announce he had AIDS. He was too weak to leave his bed so someone read it for him. He passed away the next day, November 24, 1991. Most imagine he knew the end was near because the press release came the day before he died. In 1992, a concert in tribute to him was held at Wembley Stadium, in benefit of AIDS awareness. His career with Queen was dramatised in the 2018 biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. He is very dearly missed. He was the best front man to ever grace the stage and this earth.

[@paulameads1207]

I feel so sorry for today’s young people. I grew up with this music and didn’t realize how blessed I was. Today’s “music” doesn’t hold a candle to this. And remember Queen didn’t have auto tune just pure unadulterated talent.

Well… bassist John Deacon couldn’t really sing much - but he more than made up for it with excellence on bass and in writing some big hits.

[@neraksirrah]

Experiencing old music for the first time . . . no explanation is needed! Some of us are experiencing current artists for the first time. I don't know who started the Reaction Video craze, but I am thankful they did. Before I started watching various reactions, I gravitated to the music of my young adult era (70's & 80's) Now, my taste in music has expanded. I have a much broader interest & appreciation of music now, HipHop included. You mentioned ELVIS. I first "saw" ELVIS perform via Satellite in 1973 when I was just 16 years old. It was the Aloha from Hawaii special. Something about him & that performance sealed the deal. Todate, he is still my favorite entertainer. Always his loyal fan; then, now & forever!

[@viviennerose6858]

Freddie didn't drink beer or soda on stage, was afraid the carbonation would cause problems. He drank tea with lemon.❤😂😂When Freddie did really small gigs in pubs and colleges he had a malfunction with the microphone and snapped it in half.

It was his thing.

Props to you for taking the time and the interest to dig into the music. Keep on doing what you're doing! There is so much great music out there. You're gonna be so rewarded by what you hear and what you learn. 👍👍👍 It probably won't surprise you to hear that Freddie wrote this song as a tribute to Aretha Franklin. He was a huge fan of hers. (You can really hear the gospel influence in the so-called official video of this, which was done in the studio. And yes, in the late 70s and early 80s Queen was probably the biggest rock band in the world. Take a deep breath and dive into the Queen rabbit hole, you won't regret it.

[@robincopeland7535]

Freddy Mercury was a master showman. The whole band was amazing!

[@HealthAtAnyCost]

First, don't let anyone ruin your pleasure at learning about new bands. You can surely find things in their lives that seem so obvious to you that they would be clueless about. You never have to apologize for learning. We Queenies adore you for learning about Queen! The really good news is: You react to Queen, the viewers will come! We're a loyal bunch. Freddie is so missed.... he died in 1991 from complications of AIDS. But the band as a unit (Queen is the whole band, Freddie is lead singer) is amazing and you will learn! One more thing, almost every song Queen does will sound different. They covered all genres. Oh! And something you might know but didn't know! "Ice, Ice, Baby" by Vanilla Ice stole Queen's opening riff from "Under Pressure." They went to court and Vanilla Ice now credits Queen and David Bowie and they get royalties from his song. Anyway, others have shared fantastic info with you. Great reaction. I will be back!

[@gonzaleztj89]

Queen was a major influence in the entire industry. A lot of songs you probably know are sung by them. “We are the champions” and “we will rock you” come to mind. It’s even rumored that Lady Gaga named herself that because she loved the song “Radio Gaga” by Queen so much.

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Freddie (pianist & singer) was just incredible at the time. Queen were certainly the best in the 80's!!! Even though you are saying it is old, what the heck? Age is no difference these days & the past. I loved listening to Roger Taylor too, drummer. Also Brian May just amazing, singer/lead guitarist, & ofcourse John Deacan, fabulous bass guitarist. Excellent too on Live Aid. You've got to watch it, pity you can't see Roger Taylor in it - damn!! But ofcourse once more Freddie took over the stage, brilliant!!!!!!!!

[@MadMattInc1]

Queen (the Band, including Freddy the lead singer), were big from the late 70's until the early 90's when Freddy sadly passed away from complications added to his fight with AIDS. The last 2 or 3 albums were HUGE hits, the last of which had more than a few songs that seemed to hint at Freddy saying goodbye to the fans, despite his appearance slowly becoming more gaunt at the time, he still is said to have taken a shot of whisky at one point, and nailed one of the songs in the final album in one take. He wasn't going to stop until he couldn't do it.

[@MERP5683]

Freddie Mercury was lead best lead singer of the best band ever, they played in the ‘70s and ‘80s, lasting until Freddie passed in 1991. You may think you’ve never heard them, but WE WILL ROCK YOU and WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. And ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST is theirs. They were all musical geniuses,especially Freddie. The stand…on one of ther earliest performances, the stand broke when Freddie tried to move it, and he just grabbed it from the stand and he found he liked it. It became one of his signatures, of which he ad many. I lone and miss Queen and especipialky Freddie. Birth the drummer River and the lead guitarupust Brian jphad solo careers, but have also continued touring with other lead singers, performing Auuens hits and songs, of which there are many…so many, and so good. All different genres within one group. The GREATEST ever.

Queen is actually the whole group who have released many songs you would've heard of, all four write and can play different instruments, even building their own Amps and Guitar and almost 700 songs released just by Queen without solo albums by three of the four running alongside Queen. The drinks are normally water, tea with honey very rarely did Fred drink on stage

[@A-moment-in-time554]

Freddie Mercury was the ultimate performer. Such command of the stage

[@viviennerose6858]

Queen isn't just Freddie Mercury singing and playing piano and occasional rhythm guitar, its a whole group of 4 exceptionally talented musicians: Brian May lead on guitar and vocals, John 'Deakie' Deacon on bass guitar, and last, but by no means least Roger Taylor on drums and brilliant vocals too. I imagine you've heard this all before. Stick with Queen and you are in for one helluva ride. Their 1st big hit was in 1972 Seven Seas of Rhye. Amazing start to their catalogue of great music. Btw the mic was Freddie's idea after during a live performance he picked up mic and the base dropped off. He liked it so much it became almost like his own iconic instrument, and certainly added to his performance

[@Alaf-t9e]
