FIRST TIME REACTING to QUEEN - Bohemian Rhapsody !!! (A CLASSIC FOR A REASON !!!)

[@racerx3654]

A Rhapsody is a musical composition that evokes a spontaneous outpouring of emotions, often containing contrasting moods and tempos. You can really feel the emotions Freddy put Into this piece and we can all see and relate to the emotions it evokes in you. Both are absolutely beautiful.

[@LadyAuld]

I’m 52, I was introduced to Queen as a kid, my Mother who is now 75 loved Queen, especially Freddie. It’s great to see younger generations also appreciate his music.

[@kendallneason3645]

You said it perfectly: “That’s art!” Freddie Mercury’s masterpiece!

[@roydavis5222]

I saw Queen 1977 News of The World Tour. Opened with WE WILL ROCK YOU/WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

[@jimcarter2092]

Wow that's great! I would have loved to see that tour I saw the jazz tour and the next 2 after. I would have loved to see the early days! I worked with a guy here in Portland Oregon Who said he went to see mott the Hopple and there was this back up band called queen touring with them I never forgot that comment from him 😊

[@Stefan_W69]

What a life time experience. You're blessed.

[@juliannetomlinson]

Never be another song like this the artistry of Freddie a hugely talented band.Freddie wrrote 3 songs over a lot of years in the end he put them together. Hence a Rhapsody.

[@Voogelschreck]

Wonderful reaction! In the beginning you said you really like Freddie's stage presence. So you definitely should watch Queen Live Aid 1985, it's a 21 minute show full of awesomeness.

[@LMTino]

When Freddie's original handwritten lyrics were dislayed at auction, he had the phrase "Nothing really matters to me" centered with a box around it. Really quite special to see it in person. Even Brian May had not seen it prior - can you imagine?

[@jeremywilson2022]

Freddie had 3 songs he couldn't finish so added together this is also considered to be the first purpose made music video.back in 1975

[@kevinmarshall854]

This song IS THE GREATEST ROCK SONG EVER!! It is this in the number one spot and the EAGLES Hotel California in the number two spot. Both are amazing and completely unforgettable!!!

[@oggythebug]

agree with you. i am a huge beatles fan and i would say that the 5 best songs are in no particular order bohemian rapsody, hotel california, stairway to heaven confortably numb and any beatles song among many....no particular order but exept for bohemian rapsody that will be my number 1 forever regards from france

[@canadian1677]

It is ART, and I saw them perform LIVE IN TORONTO, CANADA on August 30th, 1980. The Best Concert I ever witnessed! Have been obsessed with QUEEN since I was 16

[@vicprovost2561]

Saw their first 3 American tours, then a couple times after thry got big and then once after Freddie passed and Paul Rodgers helped on vocals. They were great always but a rock n roll hurricane in those early days, see anything in 1974, those shows were masterpieces. Just like Led Zeppelin, when they got big, some of the older stuff gets dropped for newer hits, they were great whenever I saw them but those early shows stand out for me.

[@victorbortolussi2964]

Saw them in February of '77 in Springfield Mass. Thin Lizzy opening! Started with " Tie Your Mother Down " and ended with Freddie and the guys doing covers of "Jailhouse Rock " and " Hey, Big Spender "! To this day it's one of the best concerts I've ever seen!

[@kevinbyrne5037]

It’s a beautiful journey in music.

[@vernhoke7730]

If you're interested in how this song came about, there is a video of Sir Brian May and Roy Thomas Baker, the engineer from the recording session on the 30th anniversary of the song. There's also a second one that is a little longer from 2002. As a fan from the beginning, it was really interesting.

[@IssacMadrid-i7j]

Where can i find the 2002?

[@jimcarter2092]

Yes I own a DVD copy great video history!

[@laurasmith2522]

Love your reaction So nice when someone younger seeing them relizes how Amazing. RIP FREDDY YESit is a story I call it Rock Opera ! So glad you see it . .

[@thebexxs8371]

"Love of My Life" is another great Queen song from 1975. You would love it.

[@jdbroders64]

Loved your reaction. It's an emotional song and seeing you respond in that way is refreshing.

[@jimcarter2092]

Agree here! 😊

[@GinMae]

Thanks, Steph! I enjoyed your reaction.. Queen has so many more incredibly creative compositions.. besides all the popular ones you know.. I hope you watch and react to more... !

[@BlackieNuff]

This song is almost 50 years old... FIFTY!! 1975.... I'm old, too. 😞

[@rogermitchell1345]

Also if u are curious they have a video where a green day concert and in between acts before green day comes on in England the whole crowd starts to sing this song classic concert moment. Green Day is in the back saying nope lets just go home the crowd was amazing singing that song.

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

I just subscribed to your channel and I absolutely love ❤ your reactions. I am 70 years old and you react to so many songs that take me back to my youth. Thank you this is one of my favorite songs. You are so beautiful I will be watching you everyday. ❤❤❤. Your smile is so infectious. If you don't mind me asking where are from Iove your accent

[@Ianbos1]

'it looks new', nice reaction! I'm 50 and this tune is as old as me, its a rare music concept in that it reached UK No1 in 3 different decades and is one of the first music videos and one of the few tunes that does NOT repeat itself! :)

[@Jamienomore]

This one song was an entire Musical. All of Queen's songs are stories. Very Good Reactions.🧸

[@jimcarter2092]

Great reaction video! And that fact you said "of course ive heard this song before but first time seeing video" There are some reactions out there They say first time hearing Bohemian Rhapsody. I guess they must have lived On a deserted island or something And i know it wasn't Zanzibar 😅

[@xtrem_limit1406]

WoW Il est rare de voir une vrai bonne critique. You don't stop the music for talk about noting. Tanks❤

[@JennyColwell-tb6cm]

Other songs from the concert in Montreal may interest you... Save Me, Dragon attack, Love of my Life, Another one bites the dust. Other earlier songs are March of the Black queen and White Queen

[@vicprovost2561]

March of the Black Queen live 1974 is chill inducing. Ogers Battle as well, same year, they could really rock out even before they got huge.

[@markhenry8669]

I saw QUEEN LIVE IN THE OLD BOSTON GARDEN ROW 12ON THE FLOOR in 1977 My high school girlfriend 17th birthday gift. Freddie Mercury was AMAZING

[@roydavis5222]

I saw them in Portland Maine same year...great show

[@timelesscoaching]

I was surprised when you said you heard the song before, thought it was your first time. Anyway your reaction was so real and emotional it was great to see and I'm going to check out your other reactions to Queen. My favorite band and quit frankly this is not only the best Rock/Pop song of all time, it's simply a work of art that will live for a long time. It's AGELESS!

[@treetopjones737]

In concert they would perform the first part, then play the tape for the big choir part( which was done with 3 of them singing parts, recording a ton of overdubs ), then perform the last part.

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

This is a work of total perfection. A musical masterpiece that encompasses the melodic, operatic, and metallic. Just a brilliant composition by every possible metric.

[@user-or2tp1oo9z]

This song is so dope. I just watched a movie last night again absolutely brilliant.

[@bettybaby63]

There is no comparison. Nearly 50 years old & it’s still relevant.

[@randlnickel9196]

THIS SONG IS A GENRE ON ITS OWN

[@ellet6560]

The a cappella intro is only Freddie singing lead and harmonies. For the operatic section, the boys overdubbed 180ish harmonies to create the choral effect.

[@erickvermeulen9734]

It is almost fifty years ago that I saw this video for the first time, on the television. It blew me away, and it has not aged, even as meanwhile Freddy has died and Sir Brian May has white hair.

[@robertaistrope9602]

Freddie is the Ultimate band frontman and it shows in songs like this one. If you want more proof react to Queen at Live-aid. You wont regret it.

[@hitaih750]

Maybe watch the DJ play this song at the Greenday concert in England before they came on stage. When the huge crowd all start singing the song perfectly. All the harmonies, the hummed guitar parts are perfect.

[@giasuper9665]

This song is the Best Classical Rock in my era...Thanks for reaction!

[@kevinpugh3291]

It was one the UK radio 1975. It was number one in the UK music charts Christmas 1975. The film cost 500 quid to make. It's what was played on TV. Us young ones were spoilt for music back then . . . The 1960s and 70s were amazing not forgetting the technical changes and the sound engineers who help sculpt the sound.

[@treetopjones737]

Queen: Who Wants to Live Forever, Don't Stop Me Now, Bicycle Race, Seaside Rendezvous

[@AlfaMadDog11]

Thanks for sharing your reaction :D... probably not something you will share, but many crowds sing along to it at concerts, YT has lots - the crowds are there to listen to Green Day (for example) but they know all the words to Bohemian Rhapsody - it makes me smile :)

[@riwl1]

I saws this live in 1976 main floor 15th row. I was 16yrs old.. Rock On..!!!!

[@DJGOMMY62]

In the Begegnung,no Radiostation wanted to play this Song, because it was 'to long'. But then the Radio-DJ Kenny Everett plays the song 14 Times at one weekend and Queen had there first number one song.

[@OriginalLictre]

The highest voice before the hard rock portion was Roger Tailor, the Drummer.

[@randallhaney7909]

Lots of changes, The clue is in the title .. A rhapsody in music is a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, colour, and tonality. An air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation make it freer in form than a set of variations. The word rhapsody is derived from the Greek: ῥαψῳδός, rhapsōidos, a reciter of epic poetry (a rhapsodist), Oop's I think someone already said this? Oh well I'll post it anyway, lol

[@marcswerts5068]

It is theorised that the person he kills in the beginning of the song is his hetero persona (his coming out) and that he fears disappointing his mother. The rest is about his internal struggle. (devil references)

[@dougsusie2319]

This is one of the greatest songs written and performed in the 20th century. I don't often say this but this is as great as anything written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles and I rarely, rarely say that. Peace ❤

[@keegansantoroski9042]

I'm not sure if it's true but, I remember being told that Queens' record company didn't think Bohemian Rhapsody was going to be played on the radio much, if at all, because of how long it was. Radio stations generally don't play 6 minute long songs, but this ended up being an exception.

[@billofalltrades2633]

A roller coaster of emotions with this song, great reaction❤🙏

[@kayserchishti7303]

I saw them outdoor Live Knebworth 1986 ish. ICONIC, nuff said

[@rickb.4168]

I’m 53 This single has been my number 1 for ever.. but “Hi REN” by REN is up there alongside it…

[@FarazFarooqui-lq1fj]

When Freddie sang momma I k@@led a man, I think it was referring to leaving his old self behind while in the throws of having an ego backlash. I.e in his case coming to terms with himself and accept that he was attracted to men and come out of the closet. Intelligent writing I got to sa.

[@vicprovost2561]

Innovative and eccentric song structure to say the least, totally huge hit and became an even bigger song after it was in Wayne's World and on MTV. Queen has a bunch of big hits, for something from their earlier albums that are amazing songs but don't get the reactions they deserve, do Liar from their great self titled debut, from Queen 2 do Ogers Battle and from their 3rd album, Sheer Heart Attack, do Brighton Rock. These songs are right there with any of their big hits as great tunes and hope you hear them sometime. Enjoy! More Queen... 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥

[@Walter_Arrecis_Letona]

[@calibreman]

If Freddie Mercury were still alive today he would be 77 years of age, I was born one week after him in 1946. He was extremely talented. It is thought the man he killed in the song was his previous self when he came out of the closet and informed his mother he was gay.

[@BoothTheGrey]

And again thank you so much for your deep emotions. This is so awesome that you share this with the public. With us. Your joy just threw me of my chair (okeeeeee... not really). Looking foward to many many more joyful, emotional reactions. Wish you all the best for your chanel and your whole life.

[@gregchambers6100]

Fortunately for you we have recordings of the greatest decade of music ever composed; the 1970s.

[@EdA1]

Queen in the 70s were a sight and sound to behold! I first saw them in early 1977 for the Day at the Races tour. I wish I had seen them as early as ‘74 when they first came to America… ‘80s Queen was immensely popular but I’m much more a fan of early Queen and this song is such a masterpiece!

[@roydavis5222]

If you saw them in 77 that would ve News of The World Tour

[@EdA1]

@@roydavis5222 Well your half right. And you’re half wrong. I saw them in very early 77 for the day at the races tour and they opened with Tie Your Mother Down. And Thin Lizzy opened for them… Then I saw them again in late 77 and that was the news of the world tour… I have the exact dates in my ticket scrapbook, just too lazy to go look for them now…. Look the band up on Wikipedia. February 1977 Madison Square Garden day at the races tour, news of the world tour starts in November 1977.

[@Panda_man..]

@@EdA1 must of been quite the treat to be able to see them twice in the same year!

[@EdA1]

@@Panda_man.. oh yeah! Zep were my fave. But Queen put on amazing shows. Ahead of their time with lighting, stage, sound etc… nothing compared to now but back then we were blown away. Zep sounded very little like their albums and that was great. But Queen reproduced their studio music as well as anybody ever did and combined with their show they were on another level.

[@Tommy27Dj]

Another classic from another master. In this case, the lyrics are a reference to how Freddy told his mother that he was coming out of the closet. That is, that he liked men. All this at a time when men were attacked in many places by a society that was not very tolerant at the time.

[@ajanfb1]

Best of all time
