No. They're not. ""We Will Rock You" is a song written by Brian May and recorded by Queen for their 1977 album News of the World. Rolling Stone ranked it number 330 of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004, and it placed at number 146 on the Songs of the Century list in 2001. In 2009, "We Will Rock You" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Other than the last 30 seconds containing a guitar solo by May, the song is generally set in a cappella form, using only stomping and clapping as a rhythmic body percussion beat. In 1977, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were issued together as a worldwide top 10 single.[6] Soon after the album was released, many radio stations began playing the songs consecutively and without interruption."

And they're still relevant after 50 some odd years or something like that!!! He always said, "I'm not going to be a rockstar, I'm going to be a Legend"!!! And he is!! R.I.P. Freddie!! We 💞 you! Sadly he passed away at 45 yrs old from complications from contracting AIDS😓 but the band still plays! As he said in the last song he ever finished, The Show Must Go On. But you should definitely check out "Somebody to Love" live @ Wembley stadium (I think it was) in1981!! He was such a performer and a beautiful person too!! You can also check out any of the Live Aid concerts they jammed at them all too!! I'm a new sub...cuz I just loved your reaction and the dancing n everything that was great!! Most ppl say this was the best song ever written!! P.s. they had no technology back then either so it's ALL them!! Oh! show must go on he recorded 6weeks before his passing...and Brian, the guitarist said he was so sick that he took him aside and said Fred, I don't think this is possible right now, Freddie replied; "I'll fucking do it, darling! Vodka down" went in the studio and slayed it!!!🌹🎶✌☝ Sorry for the history lesson lolol!!😂😂

Queen started recording this song August 24, 1975 all the technology we have today did not exist in 1975. The studios of the time only offered 24-track analog tape, it was necessary for the three to overdub themselves many times. Brian May (the guitarist) recalled placing a tape in front of the light and being able to see through it, as the tape had been used so many times. That is what makes this song a masterpiece. Love your reaction. It's great to see people enjoying this song 43 years after it was recorded. It really is a timeless song.

Brian May(lead guitar) has a PhD and a Doctorate of Astrophysics and recently worked on Stereo Imaging of Pluto at the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Maryland. These guys ROCK. "Mama just killed a man...Put a gun against his head pulled my trigger now hes dead." I think this was Freddies allegory about finally coming out and admitting he was gay. Something not easy to do back in the day. He killed the pretend straight guy(himself) and that guy was finished for good now and he wasn't sure and was worried of his mothers reaction to the news.

@tonybennett41596 жыл бұрын
SpotFest….As a gay man I saw Freddie often in a gay club near me (he was quite unassuming, not at all big headed). His ex-girlfriend Mary Austin even told him that she thought he was gay. It was pretty common in those days to try to maintain a false front. It may have been that he and Mary had sex, but it's also perfectly possible that it was a relationship based on mutual need and respect rather than on sex. There is no doubt that thy were extremely close. I've seen plenty of interviews with Freddie where he teasingly plays with the gay stereotype and it's also true that his final relationship was with a man.
@spotfest72666 жыл бұрын
Oh no doubt about it but people over look the fact he was also attracted to woman. He was married to a man in his final years but that guy got a straight 1 million from Freddie's will as opposed to the hundred million Mary Austin got, She also got his estate. He said many times that she was the love of his life. He also had many relationships with woman over the years. I think its insulting to Freddie to say he was gay, He was a man that loved all that was beautiful be that men, women, art or music. He was so much more than this gay stereotype that he has became.

Mercury's father worked for the British Colonial Office in India and had moved to Zanzibar to continue working but when Civil War had broken out they used their British Citizenship to move to England. In a way it makes Mercury African, Asian and European.

It came out in 1975 on Queen's fourth studio album, A Night at the Opera. The lyric "Mama, just killed a man" does sound a little ambiguous but it's really meant to mean "Mama, I just killed a man".

@vernhoke77306 жыл бұрын
The album "A Night at the Opera" came out in 1976 and "Bohemian Rhapsody" was one of the tracks on it. There is no autotune at all on this track, or any other by Queen, the vocal effects you hear are over dubs, sometimes many, many times over. While listening to this on vinyl or tape or CD or digital gives you a sense of their true talent, it pales in comparison to hearing it live. Only a small section of this song cannot be reproduced live, the "Mama Mia" section, where the stage went dark and they leave for that minute or so as the studio recording plays. I did get the chance to see them live, twice, at Madison Square Garden in 1980 & 1982.

Check out: "Keep Yourself Alive" "Don't Stop Me Now" "Under Pressure" and "Fat Bottom Girls." First time I saw them live was on 4/20/74 in Memphis, TN. They were the warm up band. A year later, they came back, same venue, as headliners. And performed "Bohemian Rhapsody." R.I.P. Freddie Mercury. Rock on & on Brian May & Roger Taylor.

i think you were searching for the word Harmony. they have perfect harmonies.
@redmarvel6 жыл бұрын
Harmonies = singing together at different vocal levels - Bass (lowest), Baritone, Tenor, Alto, Soprano (highest).Yes, Queen had some great Harmonies. So did the Bee Gees, the Beach Boys and the Beatles.

IF this song was played at a wedding, they'd have to stop the ceremony until it finished because EVERYONE would be singing it (it's a fun song!), to include bride, groom and minister! Bohemian Rhapsody came out in 1975 or so, and has been a rock music classic ever since. An incredibly talented band ! Suggestion - I suggest you react to "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" by the band Primus. It's a funny song with a hilarious video. You can watch it for free on youtube.

Your cute! When different people sing different parts it’s called “harmonizing”. 🤗🤗🤗 PS - biggest Queen fan but you had me laughing through the whole video! 😂 And, since I needed a laugh today and your personality is awesome, bruh, I just subbed!!!

Altos, Soprano, tenor, and bass are the four voices in music. When they bring it together they call it harmonizing. The lead singer is Freddie Mercury. He died in 1991 if Pneumonia caused by AIDS,

Freddy sang the lead parts and each member of the band (including Freddy) sang every other part and it was all mixed together to create the incredible depth.
@christinajacobsen66906 жыл бұрын
I think what you were looking for at about 3:16 was the word Alto. In a nutshell that corresponds to how high or low you sing. From highest to lowest it goes Soprano, Alto, Tenner, and Baritone. It can get more complicated than that with things Mezzo Soprano, but the basics are those four. Hope this helps.

You might want to listen again. All the voices you heard in the beginning were one voice, stacked vocals by Freddie Mercury, whose range was between 4 & 5 octaves. This song is widely considered the greatest in the history of rock. By the way, Freddie also wrote it and he was the one playing the piano and arguably the greatest frontman in rock.

Loved your reaction. Watch Queen's live performance at Live Aid in 1985 at Wembley Stadium. One of the best rock performances in history!

Queen reaction? Instant sub! There are so many Queen songs that are incredible, they are all great singers, there are a few songs sung by Roger Taylor (the drummer) that are amazing (I'm in Love With My Car, for example), it's wild to watch him singing the song live while playing the drums as ell as he does. There are also a ton of songs that are awesome that sometimes get overlooked, "Death On Two Legs" (allegedly about their management), "Tenement Funster", actually I don't think there is a bad Queen song.

This song was written by Freddie Mercury in 1975. It was actually a compilation of three different songs he wrote and then cobbled together.
