This was on the same album thst starts with We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions. The resistance great but didn't stand a chance. Have you done Dragon Attack yet? John Deacon gives his bass a workout.

[@alldayadventures5418]

NEWS of the WORLD has many such great songs... never heard on the radio, Queens Best Album...!

[@JoeMama-bw2vy]

It’s freaking me out how many people are commenting that they’ve never heard this song. Yes it’s obscure, but it’s also on one of their greatest albums of all time.

[@j.d.6915]

Is it? It's certainly not on the Their Greatest Hits (Red Album) or Classic Queen (Blue Album) I'm also fairly certain its not on their other Greatest Hits album.

[@JoeMama-bw2vy]

@@j.d.6915 Pay attention J.D. I said “one” of “their” greatest albums. And like anything else, it’s a matter of opinion. But I get it, you’re not happy unless you’re disputing somebody’s opinion. Get a life.

[@j.d.6915]

@@JoeMama-bw2vy I read you wrong man. I thought you said it was on their greatest hits album.

[@JoeMama-bw2vy]

@@j.d.6915 Ok, well my apologies for my harsh reply to you. There are many people on KZbin that dispute even the most common sense things some people comment about.

[@jamesreding6336]

I only bought ther live album back in early 80s

[@imweakfordeaky]

My friend, the best way to know Queen is to take *deep* dives into their back catalogue for hidden gems like this one.

[@IisDeeps]

My Meloncoly Blues

[@0311Grunt]

News of the World. By far my favorite Queen album front to back. 1977 I believe.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

@@IisDeeps ABSOLUTELY💕

[@nickwall2497]

White Man!

[@skylerross4917]

Much like any band in those days

[@brianorzel1873]

None of their albums ever had filler songs, just ones that were not released as singles. This song is a great example! "Spread Your Wings" is another under-appreciated gem!

[@randybork4493]

I was gonna say that too! Spread video where they are outdoors adds to it.

[@TheBlackQueen]

Well this was released as a single

[@jstricknine]

Mmm. Spread your wings is phenomenal live.

[@loadedorygun]

Saby was low just watching the show! A rare look into semi autobiography as an emigrant to England.

[@TheDefiningOfAwesome]

I hate to break it to you but... Delilah? That's filler if there ever was one. Also, the Made in Heaven track that is literal silence, half of Hot Space, Leaving Home Ain't Easy. I mean don't get me wrong they had a lot of under-rated possible hits but there was filler.

[@10CentHead]

One of their best songs… Freddie’s range is crazy in this one.

[@jeffcobb2734]

Jamel, this is my favorite Queen deep track. I was 13 when "News of the World" came out. I loved every song on the album and wore out the grooves I played it so much.

[@cammybaby01]

A beautiful change of pace that shows a completely different side of queen that I think you would love: You Take My Breath Away.

[@sergeinester6261]

And Long Away and You and I and …:

[@444dkm]

Brother, this was the most overlooked of their songs. Likely because We Will Rock You and We are the Champions were radio hits. But some of us true fans wore out our albums listening to all the tracks. You are the only reaction video maker who has taken my suggestion to review this. Consider yourself hugged. Love from Canada. You made my day.

[@jamelakajamal]

Thank You For The Request🙏🏾

[@RushTrader]

Thanks for suggesting this one Kathy! You're right, it's easily overlooked but definitely one of their best! Nice to know there's other fans who feel the same.

[@redarmysoja]

@@jamelakajamal "The Game" is another great Queen track that is overlooked. Freddy kills that falsetto.

[@todallard8791]

You are correct only us true fans listened to the whole album, the only group I had all of their albums way back in HS. I think all the albums from the 70's are pure genius.

[@j.d.6915]

I'm not sure which Queen member said this (thinking it was May), but when asked what song was the best representation of their music, he said "It's late"

[@stevewynter4519]

Queen have had so many hits that songs like this are in their deep cuts category, Around the same time in late 70's songs like "Let Me Entertain You" "Dead On Time" and "Spread Your Wings" are some of their best work for then but the hits got the airplay

[@jbrat122]

You can never go wrong with original Queen, never. Great musicians and one in a million vocals. Long live the #Queen

[@johnkoch3176]

Another great deep cut from that album: "All dead, all dead". Epic Brian May guitar work, and stunning vocals.

[@aydanscott9871]

My favourite queen song right there

[@ManUtdMrs]

Possibly my favourite Queen song of all time...and there is some serious competition. Just amazing. The highest Freddie note ever recorded on this track too x

[@barryshapiro3349]

One of my favorite lesser known Queen songs. Brian May is a rock guitar god! I was 17 when this song came out and was lucky enough to see Queen in concert at full power 3 times in ‘77 and ‘78. Greatest concerts I’ve ever seen.

[@DavidMihail]

Thanks for doing this one, Jamel! I bought News Of The World back in 1977 right after it dropped. This song stood out to me immediately and is still my absolute favorite Queen song. I love the journey it takes. Just an amazing (and underrated) song.

[@johncampbell756]

In 1978 I asked Newsof the World. I got Jazz instead. I was not thrilled as News is considerably better. I was 9.

[@denisewhite1426]

The first requests will mostly be for "famous" songs that were on the radio and greatest hits albums. But Queen has lots of album tracks like this gem! I'm glad you're starting to get deeper into their catalog. I'd love to see you react to White Queen, March of the Black Queen, and The Prophet's Song. And so many more!

[@mledbetter]

This is my favorite Queen song! This was definitely an under the radar song, but I love the rock swagger of it.

[@MikeCoggan]

One of my favorites. I saw Queen with Freddie 3 times including the News of the World tour and they either played it on this one or the one after it. I have also seen Queen w/Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert and they did It's Late in 2017. The best part was Brian May started the song on the far left of the stage - 15 - 20 feet away from me - I was in the 1st row on the side - not floor but actually stage high. Have a picture and video somewhere....

[@MikeCoggan]

The first minute or so of this video is Brian May starting the song 15-20 feet in front of me - this was without any zoom kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH3FZ61-f7p3gZo

[@ben1ben]

9:30 because they have bigger songs than others, but literally every single song is amazing. You won't see many requests for their song Flick of the Wrist, though its literally as amazing as everything else from them. Loved your take on the lyrics, Love your reactions, and loved this one too. Please do more Queen. And btw at 8:46 Freddie hit the note E6, its one of his Highest.

[@maryellenazack4466]

FLICK OF THE WRIST after that i was a 'queen fan'. Excellent tune!

[@witecatj6007]

Ah, Sheer Heart Attack stuff. This was a great album, but this is where they discovered how much the record company was messing them over. This led to Nigh at the Opera, one of the most perfect albums ever.

[@ben1ben]

@@witecatj6007 yes

[@ronaldhamrick1699]

Flick of the Wrist and Death On Two Legs are both vastly underrated.

[@melissalee5622]

Love Flick of the Wrist!!

[@cherylreichardt]

What a classic band! A mighty fine track by guitarist Brian May and those amazing vocals of the late great Freddie! Don't forget Roger on those drums and talented quiet bassist John Deacon. Long live Queen!

[@micknordstrom2591]

One of Queen's best songs from one of their best albums!

[@katherinemikkola8316]

Thanks Jamel, for playing this , i haven't heard it in so very long since I've heard it and it sounds so good !!! 💘 🙏

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

My fav Queen song! Finally! Now if you would do the studio version of "Dragon Attack". Dude I asked for this song in just about every Queen reaction you did.

[@misterdeeds11]

To me, Queen’s music is like a musical library that has so many different chapters..It’s Late wasn’t a huge success when it was released as a single but it’s one of their best, lesser known tracks. Thank you for your reaction to this song. I thoroughly enjoy your reactions and look forward to watching more obscure, lesser known tracks. All my best to you and yours this holiday season, Cheers!!😃🎄

[@dawnmclaughlin5262]

Agreed!!!! Every album is a "different Queen." Each one is a religious experience meant to be appreciated for its musical/vocal talents.

[@queenmiriam3058]

Aaah yessss dear 🙌🏻 Queen 👑 again, you made my day. I really hope to see more Queen…….they have so much beautiful stuff in their catalogue. Much bless and love ❤️ keep up the good work.

[@davidlittle7182]

I felt for a long time I was alone in (ahem) 'discovering' this song on the album, and loving it. So nice to see the bold Jamel enjoying it for the first time

[@oldrockgeeser9426]

Finally someone reacting to my favorite Queen song.

[@jenniferjennifer3902]

OK, now I have to get News of the World. I'm a Queen fan, and like others, I have never heard this song. Thanks for the introduction Jamel!!

[@brianorzel1873]

I love that entire "News Of the World" album! None of their albums ever had filler songs. Everything they did was miraculous!

[@DavidBMaas]

News of the World is hands-down their greatest album.

[@loadedorygun]

@@DavidBMaas I would go with night at the opera but this is Queen at their most diverse and ranging for sure.

[@mustangdebbie56]

Queen II is my favorite album with Sheer Heart Attack a close second. But this song is in my top 5 Queen songs.

[@doplinger1]

One of their best, along with "Who Needs You?" What a great album.

[@caroleann_2142]

I go way back, Sheer Heart Attack, One of Fav Albums 😊💯

[@ImaDrummer55]

THIS is one of my FAVORITE Queen songs. As a Drummer, you can just FEEL this song building to the final crescendo and climactic ending...just a beautifully dramatic song, and you can feel the emotion in Freddy's voice (like ALL Queen songs) building throughout the song. Took me a few times to learn the triplet ending note-for-note, but well worth the time spent !! Great great song !!

[@LemmyD_from_Germany]

I'm a Queen Fan since I was 12y. 1982... And when I've heard this song the first time I loved it just like the great Hits. And I couldnt understand that my friends didn't know this song. For example 'We will rock you', that we played on every school party with stomping our hands two times on the floor and then one clap. I still love like this gem. And sometimes I listen to it in my car.

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

This is one of Queens hidden gems & there are a lot of them love Queen ❤️

[@dob0lina]

This whole album is insanely awesome, “News of the World.” Maybe it could be a whole album reaction like you’ve done before? I loved listening to those with you.

[@rockerforlife194]

Excellent Song! Excellent Album....."News of the World", entire album is FIRE!

[@maryellenazack4466]

❤❤❤ it in N.J.

[@jaysinger535]

Freddie,Brian,Roger,and John at their best! RIP Freddie.

[@xtiants]

Queen has so many great songs that even a masterpiece like this can get lost in the mix. Great reaction!

[@blackbear65]

Omg!!! I love this track and it’s one of the least known as queen songs. This and melancholy blues are probably my two most favorite songs off this album. Sheer heart attack is without a doubt the hardest rocking of all of Queens songs. Thanks for checking this out and I hope you enjoyed it.

[@jeffcobb2734]

Sheer Heart Attack is a crazy hard banger. Fast and intense.

[@shahaffiq5860]

It's crazy that I almost know every Queen songs.

[@cazgerald9471]

Haven't heard this in ages - love it.

[@anitapaulus937]

This is my favorite Queen song, and I’ve requested it multiple times. I sometimes wonder if the fact that there were no videos of them doing this song is why it was never reacted to often.

[@vespoint]

That is probably the reason! I never thought of that.

[@kathleenohare8770]

Queen has such diversity with their music from this song to songs like COOL CAT

[@celticpoet21]

LOL Awesome reaction to a criminally overlooked gem! That's why Queen stands the test of time! Their music is about real, everyday people with relatable things and issues in life among so many other things!!

[@sherryheim5504]

Another beautiful love song from Brian who always seems to be questioning his ability to love and be loved. Thank you.

[@OneTableStudios]

When I bought this ALBUM, It was played all the way through...And this was the best non-frequently played song from this album👍🏼 Love this song, and love your feel for all this “underrated” music. Peace and Love, Merry Christmas ❣️

[@bettybaby63]

News of the world was a tough album to get noticed given the 2 hits on it (we will rock you & champions). Absolutely top 3 song of theirs imo. Spread your wings & my melancholy blues are also stand outs from that album.

[@jamesreding6336]

Never heard before it's exilent!!!!!!!!

[@andysheridan2257]

My favourite Queen track 👏

[@careym3901]

Queen is one of my first R&R bands and they have a special place in my heart. RIP Freddie, you are missed so dearly!!!!

[@mistreated]

MY favorite Queen song. I never get tired or bored with this song. Great riff! Every time I hear this at home, I have to pick up a guitar and start playing it. LOUD! Long Live Dr. Brian May

[@alldayadventures5418]

NEWS of the WORLD has many such great songs... never heard on the radio, Queens Best Album...!

[@clydemosis]

That whole album, News of the World, is amazing Jamel. Love it! You should listen to it when you get the chance, it is only like 30-40 minutes.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I'm a long time Queen fan (and long time Van Halen fan) and I didn't remember hearing this song before, but immediately could hear Brian May is using the pick hand tapping technique that Eddie Van Halen was famous for. So I looked it up and this song is from their album _News Of The World_ that came out a few months before Van Halen's first album in 1977. Brian saw a Texas guitarist named Rocky Athas using the technique at the Mother Blues club in Dallas some time before they recorded that album.

[@kimcutts424]

I haven't heard this before! Why? I love Queen. ❤

[@milestrotter6844]

One of my favorite Queen songs. Great choice.

[@cometogether999]

This album (News of the World) is very good. "Get Down, Make Love" "Spread Your Wings" and "All Dead, All Dead" are worth a listen as well.

[@imweakfordeaky]

Of those three, “Spread Your Wings” is my favorite- a real John Deacon masterpiece!

[@timothydingman587]

This was my first album ever I love "News of the world"

[@sabrinasiler5352]

Yes!!! “Spread Your Wings” ❤️💕❤️

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

My Melancholy Blues is amazing as well, and it is very different as a jazz song.

[@timothydingman587]

And don't forget sleeping on the sidewalk , heavy blues

[@vernhoke7730]

Thanks Jamel, one of my favorites off the News of the World album. Lucky for me I got to see them do this live when I saw them in 1980. This one was in with Spread Your Wings (Written by John Deacon), Sheer Heart attack, We Will Rock You and We are the Champions, all of which got major air time on the radio.

[@mgalarama1529]

One of my favorite Queen songs. All the other great songs on this album get over looked because of "We Will Rock You/ We Are The Champions"....

[@neo_______]

One of my favorite queen songs from their early days!

[@brianorzel1873]

Back in the 70's, if the studio didn't release a song as a single (those little 45 RPMs with the big hole in the middle), it didn't get much play on the radio stations. So, unless you bought the whole album, you didn't get to hear this song, and many other amazing songs...

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

totally agree with you! we couldn't all afford the albums, so those A & B sides were critical for the musicians to get their songs out there.

[@dianereed8911]

Thank you thank you thank you .....one of my favourite Queen tracks .. written by Brian May .... there's so many great album tracks that were never singles , a lot of their best work is overlooked by the amazing chart singles they put out . Please re act to Brighton Rock , pre Bohemian Rhapsody, from the Sheer Heart Attack album . Love you channel 😁❤ Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all your family 🎄🎄🤶🤶🎅🎅☃️☃️🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄 PS ....Freddie accused Brian of trying to break his voice when they were recording this , all tongue in cheek though 😁 difficult vocals on it x

[@TheMarrification]

It definitely should've been more highly requested. This is one if their greatest hidden gems, and is one of my favourite ever Queen songs. Thanks for giving this song an airing!

[@melissalee5622]

One of my favourite songs!!! Just love Freddie's voice on this.

[@hanick27]

My favorite Queen song!

[@wallabit]

There are tons of Queens songs that are "under the radar". They have dozens of amazing songs that not many people know. And most of my favorite songs are in that category. I would love to see you react to songs like "White Queen (as it began)" (1975 live at the rainbow version is amazing), "March of the Black Queen", "My Mellancholy Blues" or "Millionaire Waltz". Great Job, man!!!

[@jackiegood3686]

You nailed it when you said that this song should have been requested more. It is absolutely one of my favourite Queen tunes. It is one kick-ass song and I am so glad you finally got to hear it.

[@mattmihall9913]

Try Spread Your Wings from this album

[@jeffmiller2008]

That stank face during Brian’s solo…priceless!

[@deborahcornell171]

Thank you!💙More Queen is ALWAYS a good thing! Now would be the perfect time for their Christmas song, "Thank God It's Christmas". People requested it last year but you still might not be aware of it. And now it's almost Christmas again. Hoping you'll do it, Official video please.🎄❄🎄

[@Hollyrock712]

I was 15 when I saw this concert. They were amazing. Lucky enough to see them 4 times.

[@mgordon1100]

Jamel, Queen has 15 studio albums, including the Flash Gordon soundtrack. There's only a handful of radio chart toppers, so you'll find a ton of songs that "slip under the radar" as you say. There's a ton of Queen for you to hear if you'd like. Most that hasn't been heard by most people, only fans.

[@SeigiChoujin]

This song is SO underrated. I was so happy when I actually heard it in a movie once (Observe and Report)

[@leroydhill5433]

I felt the same about Brighton Rock in Baby Driver!

[@56jsking]

One of my favorites by Queen. Just a kick ass song

[@karenevans4175]

Finally someone reacts to this fabulous song xxx

[@kimwilliamson389]

All Dead was a fabulous song off that album. A touching tribute by Brian May to his cat. I played that album to death when it came out.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Great reaction! That is the problem with a big band such as Queen, is that people request the most popular songs that were hits and they have many causal fans that only know the biggest hits, Queen have loads of amazing underrated songs in their catalogue that were never hits or released as singles. It's Late is one of them, the also features the song also features the highest note on a Queen album in the studio. Check out The Great King Rat - Queen 1974, it is great, or My Fairy King or The March Of The Black Queen.

[@SebGeddy]

Freddie, Brian, John and Roger are firing on all cylinders on this one

[@Groovegandalf]

This has been my favorite track since i heard it when i was 12 in 1992. It's the song i would play for anyone who doesn't know who they are. It's rock, it's soulful, it's emotional, and it's heavy. The guitars soar. The rhythm is a perfect canvas. Freddie's voice tells the perfect story of a disintegrating and unrequited love. (and it goes double time for the "climax")

[@sergeinester6261]

Absolute banger of a blues rocker by Queen. Hidden gem

[@CosmicMermaid]

There are so many layers to Queen you will never understand until start peeling them back. I started listening to Queen in 1977 when I was 7 years old. My first rock concert was a Queen concert when I was 12. Dive into their catalog, your life will change.

[@michaelnerychel6727]

Classic Queen song from the great Dr. Brian May!! Thanks for playing this great Queen deep track. It's awesome! You should do more deep tracks like this.

[@faithhofeldt2283]

Every song by Queen is a collaborative effort. Every band member gets there opportunity to shine musically.

[@adamdodgshon638]

My favourite Queen song. Just superb. Their album tracks are often overlooked because of how great their singles are.

[@scottclark7309]

Raw , smoking hot! Queen is queen there will never be another and there music will go on forever. The are timeless R.I.P FREDDY WE MISS YOU!

[@anntelford8647]

This song was overlooked by most. It wasn't one of their big hits. However, back in the day, we listened to entire albums at one time. We became familiar with ALL the songs that our favorite artists put out. Now music is more segmented. You choose a song to download rather than an entire album. The bigger hits are well known, but other songs don't get the same airplay on radio or online. I owned this album. I knew every song from beginning to end. Hearing this again was like listening to an old friend you haven't heard from in years.

[@mayflowerpdx5706]

I had this album as a teenager and I still have the cd lol. There are so many Queen songs that never get played on the radio anymore and it’s a damn shame

[@etc7070]

Been subscribed to you since you first started reacting to Queen, and this is definitely one of their "under the radar" songs yet it's still a favorite among many fans. I enjoyed your commentary on it, it's surprisingly emotionally deep!

[@openfor45]

Jamel nailed it, FLEW UNDER THE RADAR when Queen came out with this song. Much to long to play on radio spots, so never got wide exposure. I played this song so many times as i owned their 'News Of The World' albumn that had this song on it. So GLAD you reacted to this. ANother song that everyone forgot back then was Albert Hammond's - The Free Electric Band. {Suggest you react to this}.

[@bramcurtis6900]

When you say this song flew under the radar. I cannot believe this wasn't a huge hit. This tune is FIRE. This is pure blues.

[@JK-ld8cd]

Im so lucky to have seen them live back in the 70's. best band ever!

[@misterdo]

This is a sleeper for sure. I’ve always appreciated this one. Love your channel sir!

[@deraldjtuckerii]

[@aprilebert157]

One of my favorite tracks by Queen. It's in my top 5 favorites. I think it is a hidden gem. I don't know how it flew under the radar it's such an underrated awesome song.

[@danielmartin3249]

This was the very first album I ever bought. It was 1978. This band changed my life at 9 years old.

[@dennisclark6315]

For me "it's Late" is the most underrated Queen songs of all time and one of my favorites, I never got why this song wasn't more popular. I believe the reason that "It's Late" didn't get the airplay it deserved was because of executives were not happy with the length of this song?

[@juanmoretime640]

Great song and great album. Saw this tour in 1977 at the Forum in LA 3 days before Christmas. Still one of the best shows I ever saw.

[@444dkm]

Ty for looking at this one. This is my favourite non hit Queen song ever. And Queen is my favourite group.
