John Deacons bass work on this is outstanding !

[@dianecourtney2724]

Amen!

[@proudarmymom8657]

Such an underrated bassist!!

[@DukeEnlil]

The middle part where Brian is starting some heavy riff and it turns to a John Deacon's bass line over solo....just mind blowing catharsis!

[@lynnhoffman247]

Love it! Show him the live version from 1974! 🔥🎶🔥

[@Anisabell2]

John "Deacy" Deacon delivers an outstanding bass here!!! Go Johnny go!!! Early Queen is amazing, absolutely out of this world. These outstanding 4 musicians are legends in their merit! Sing Freddie sing, you vocal angel, you!

[@sherryheim5504]

I love this song and the instrumentation is amazing. Johnny shines on this song and each of the members smash it. Thank you.

[@janetschulman7649]

ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES. This was originally called Lover wonder why. Still get chills from John and Brian’s playing together. Sing Freddie Sing.

[@dianecourtney2724]

🥰❤️

[@oliverkaiser794]

I hate to say it, but everyone's forgetting about Roger. Very unique pattern choices, his singing. It's easy to miss out on that guy in the back. But they would have been a very different band without him. Cheers :-)

[@janetschulman7649]

@@oliverkaiser794 totally agree. Love Rogers voice, great song writer and one of the best drummers. He still kills it. He has a solo album out from some small venue concerts he did not too long ago.

[@marggie4129]

Thanks for doing this album. Queen were so talented from the very start. I'm partial to early Queen..Great reaction !

[@taylortyler1867]

To that one lone person who gave this a thumbs down, I have one thing to say; LIAR!!!

[@i8granola]

This is my all time favorite Queen song. It has everything. 10 out of 10! You should really check out the live at the Rainbow 1974 version.

[@dianecourtney2724]

YES!!!

[@spawnthecrazy]

You should show him the full 1974 live at the Rainbow concert, see how he reacts!

[@kathleenohare8770]

Love these reactions...Love you're doing entire album....keep it going

[@Debcatawba]

I’m a rock and roll chic now in my mid 60’s and I still freakin love this song. I was in high school when queen 1st blasted onto the scene. Keep Yourself Alive and this song Liar were my first introduction to this super group. From the moment I heard queen there was no turning back. I was hooked. To this day in 2024. I am still rocking this tune at full volume. I know it’s hard to believe, but can you imagine growing up in a time where we had all this music brand new to us? Great reaction, guys

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Great reaction! This is not really a religious song. Although the song starts with someone confessing their sins to a priest. It is someone that is looking for acceptance within society, he first tries the church, but he is rejected. Then he seeks acceptance from his family and he is rejected again. In the end he realizes, "they bring you down before you begin, you have to be dead before they let you in. " It is actually one of Queen's most depressing songs, Freddie very likely wrote this song about his sexuality not Bohemian Rhapsody, the song was first titled Lovers.

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

Brilliant reaction this is such a fantastic album please do a live version from The Rainbow 1974 x

[@goukenslay7555]

I love Freddy's face everytime they say liar in the music video

[@juttapopp1869]

Queen is a Great Album, but Queen 2 is eben Theater.

[@bjw0515]

John gave an outstanding solo on this performance. Pease continue with Queen, they are never boring!

[@deboraclark5791]

This album and Queen 2 are the ones I listen to most, maybe because I heard these first way back around 74. I love all of them, but these are my favorites ❤️ great reaction.

[@tonydee8887]

And stupefied lol nice reaction gents

[@allandalegibson1194]

For me.... Freddie was sent to a Christian Boarding School at the age of 7. For me this song is about an incident that happened at that school. In the documentary "Lover of Life Singer of Songs," Freddie's mother reads a letter written by Freddie in that boarding school where the headmaster called him a liar and cut off his hair. That would have been tramatic for a young man separated from his family.

[@trevorgoddard2278]

This song may have a religious feel to it, but track 9 shouts it from the rooftops. for a nice long musical intro the next track has over 70 seconds before he vocals kick in, but it's your reaction to the vocals on track 7 I am waiting for

[@janetschulman7649]

Boarding school was not easy for Freddie although had a band and was therefore poular there are hints that he was abused. Think this song may tell it all. Who knows? He was very lonely. Parents lived in Africa he in India.

[@dianecourtney2724]

Have always felt Freddie had a sad child hood 😢

[@debramoore7513]

Me, too!

[@martinkulkarni3569]

That was the rumour. Never been told. Now it never will.

[@stefanhueckelheim]

Queen never boring

[@dianecourtney2724]

Go Deaky !!!!!!!🥰

[@joelhoulette3244]

Their best album.

[@williamg209two]

You gotten listen to innuendo it's the last long muti change song they do after this then march of the Black Queen then bo rap then innuendo

[@hippiejane2683]

Look forward to this. Thanks guys!

[@dianecourtney2724]

This one LIVE is awesome !!!

[@vincenzomorrisiano2620]

The first album I bought in 1974, aged 10. How lucky was I to be introduced to the world of rock by this. I saw them live 6 times…thanks for the memories…

[@marvalstith2749]

I'm certain this is Freddie's 1st diss composition - referencing an issue he faced as a youngster . . . and his Mom stood by him. The culprit knew. Read the book advertised as being in Freddie's own words. Also there is Freddie saying, in an interview, words to the effect, 'listen to my lyrics and you'll know about my life'. Freddie carried on pursuing life and creative dreams cause his religion also taught him what he needed. Freddie Mercury was a good man, inside and out.

[@debramoore7513]

✝️ L I A R ✝️ LOVE THIS SONG ONE OF MY FAVS 💟 About a man at a church asking for forgiveness but finding none. Everybody thinks he is a liar and that nobody can ever believe him again because of what he has done. In the live performance Freddie encouraged John to sing with him on the bridge, which is rare. I think LIAR has something to do with an incident at Freddie’s boarding school. Hmmmmm

[@kuntumhapsari5364]

👑🤘💯

[@cathytobias4722]

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it!!💖💖💖

[@janetschulman7649]

I know there is an organ in there but can you tell me where?

[@barbarjinx3802]

When Al Frankenstein was on Air America he would play snippets of this song after a right wing media figure or politician lied. He played it a lot. A lot.

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

This is the real Queen music not the sell out they did after Bohemian…songs like I want to ride my bicycle, fat bottom girls etc….those sappy songs aren’t Queen…they sold out…

[@goukenslay7555]

Dont be like that bohemian rhapsody was Freddy's brainchild. It clearly has stood the test of time regarless of it initial reaction as avant garde

[@barking.dog.productions1777]

This an awesome series of videos, but let us shake it up a bit, branch off to RUSH... These are my favorite groups of the 1970s (rush and queen) that just obliterated the blues, and took rock and roll to a new level, and they brought in modern rock and roll. All metal derives from this foundation... I would bet the farm that rush ushered in Metallica. I wish that queen had come to rural Arkansas, and that I could have seen them in concert, but rush did, and I was a faithful fanboy for over 10 years - until they turned into sell-outs to the establishment - done with that.... not a fan, not a puppet, keep to the true meaning of rock and roll, or else get woke go broke
