[@ZackScroggins]

My absolute favorite Queen song is The Show Must Go On. A little background, Freddie was dying from AIDS at the time, he was in the very late stages of the disease when they recorded The Show Must Go On, and most of that album was intended as a kind of farewell, and in all honesty, anyone but Freddie wouldn't have even been able to perform it in his condition. That being said, there's a story that goes with it, in regards to recording it "When Brian May presented the final demo to Mercury, he had doubts that Mercury would be physically capable of singing the song's highly demanding vocal line, due to the extent of his illness at the time. To May's surprise, when the time came to record the vocals, Mercury consumed a measure of vodka and said "I'll fucking do it darling!" then proceeded to nail the vocal line in one take without problems. To this day, Brian May regards this vocal performance as one of Mercury's best." The song was released on October 14th 1991 as a single, six weeks before Freddie passed away. One of the greatest singers of all time, and one of the best songs of all time.

The first part was Freddie’s call and response with the audience. He did it at all their concerts and no- one but him could say Fuck you, and be adored for it. He had a 4 octave vocal range, and there was no one more charismatic than him. That bass riff belongs to Deacy (John Deacon, bassist). Sampling is one thing, but Vanilla Ice flat out stole it and thought he could get away with it. Don’t ever give any credit to him, he deserves none. Why don’t you check out Somebody to Love live at Montreal 1981. It’s incredible

[@mollyfrom5556]

This is so exactly what I wanted to say that I don't need to say it now---I bet we've been in the same fan groups before. The one thing that Freddie had to change for Live Aid was to say All Right instead, and I've always missed the Fuck You! lol He was such a precious person and I love to see him appreciated, but I also love Q + AL because they Really appreciate him and that's as close as I can get now!

Of all the Queen songs out there Under Pressure is one of my favorites. As soon as Brian May comes in I get chills. Freddie's vocals are out of this world. It's my favorite song to listen to other artist's cover live as well. I recently saw the Goo Goo Dolls in concert and they actually closed with Under Pressure and it was amazing. I also love it because I saw a doc where Brian talks about how against all odds that song was made because Freddie and Bowie were actually total divas when writing that song and Deaky had been just playing around coming up with tunes and they breaked for lunch and when they came back I believe it was Freddie who asked him to keep playing what he was playing earlier and John Deacon (Deaky) couldn't remember and it took him a bit to remember but eventually came back with the opening to this song. I love that story and if I'm getting some of the details wrong please someone correct me. I believe they recorded it in Germany in a basement studio and tensions were kind of high to get it right. I just love that because in the end David being the amazing person he was ended up singing it live in honor of Freddie and it's just like, despite the journey they were both gentlemen at heart and respected one another and the craft of music.

Queen is such a good band. Freddie Mercury was nothing but pure talent. I'll admit his vocals has brought me to tears several times...

[@matthiasrauch2723]

Yeah this best band ever plays all this great shit in front of 70000 people in london with just 6 instruments and 2 (the incredible freddie and roger) voices. These were the 80's baby.... nothing autotuned! haha

[@ccrawford3525]

What I love about Queen.....incorporate Opera with Rock....and also bring in the audience......mass participation in the experience....

[@redsassy938]

Queen and Freddy Mercury are AMAZING!!!! dive deep sir.

[@mollyfrom5556]

This is the rabbit hole that's worth all the time!

[@johnkochen7264]

“He has a nice voice, doesn’t he?” He had the most amazing voice ever and few singers could match him for range, tone, timbre and purity. He could also play an audience like a Stradivarius and mr. Johnson just below is 100% correct. BLASPHEMY!

[@stevieb9399]

Bro, that entire concert is a worthy watch. Glad you covered his iconic vocal warm up, it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. 😊 Freddie was magnificent!

[@yellowstonecounty]

Bless your heart, I'm sure you've figured it out by now. I'm dying here, this is hilarious. Oh, and good song. Great training session he held at the beginning 😄

[@JSAFIXIT]

He was a very unique person, but that voice.... Insane.

[@CarolinaEmber]

“He has a nice voice.” No, Freddy has a superb voice. Queen really was a unique experience that was second to none. Vanilla Ice did purely a copy of Queen’s riff, IMO.

[@DrukenReaps]

I don't think it is possible to take part in western society and not have heard at least part of some Queen song. They are one of those multi-generation defining bands. Bohemian Rhapsody and Another One Bites the Dust are amazing!

[@sallycripe2697]

Yep - and of course, you've heard "We Will Rock You...", but Under Pressure was written by Freddie and David Bowie in the recording studio.

[@hatali88]

To put it simply, the greatest vocalist in the history of Rock & Roll.

[@sandradunn421]

Wow, A Night at the Opera, Somebody to Love, Hammer to Fall.. the list goes forever. A recent movie depicting Freddie Mercury and Queen’s rise to fame was a good watch also. Good luck falling into the decades of music.

[@TroubleSturm]

Usually, the live performance of a song is the best for reactions, but look for the studio recording of this song. It was done in collaboration with David Bowie, and it was recorded while Freddie Mercury still had his full vocal range. This live version is nice because of his playing with the audience before starting the song if fun, and there is a bit of sadness when he tells them, "Maybe not that high, let's bring it down a bit," but the performance with Bowie is also amazing. It was a one-take recording session, that hit everything perfectly in the first take, and features Freddie at his prime.

[@jamescutler8055]

I love it when rap fans recognize the bass riff.

[@paigemimms4343]

Freddy Mercury is iconic and hands-down the best front man EVER. Queen was dynamic together.

[@johnpaulringeorge116]

OMG my fave Freddie Mercury that is one of my fave songs from queen

[@xahnolee]

I love your first time perspectives! "Sampled Queen" is a very generous phrase tho

[@maximeboissonneault6203]

I’m sorry…. How does someone get to that age, reacts to music videos, and this is the FIRST time hearing Queen ?! Give me a break! Queen is legendary and the greatest group of all time!

[@carroceriasperuanas]

Exactly!!! Just thinking the same.

[@franceschacon7076]

Same thought I had......the first time I heard Queen I was a child......the song was Radio Ga-Ga

[@neelmadhun85]

That's what living under a rock does to you. Under a big rock ...listening to Vanilla Ice...

[@coucoubrandy1079]

I think that you are referring to muricans. So you are excused. But there's a statue by the lake where he wrote many songs.....

[@RDR911]

Dude's probably lying for views lmao. I seriously doubt anyone his age hasn't heard Queen.

[@almostfm]

I always like pointing out that Brian May (the guitarist) went back in 2006 and finished his degree. So now, he's Dr. Brian May, with a Ph.D. in astrophysics. He did some of the scientific work on the New Horizons probe that visited Pluto in 2015.

[@MrROTD]

He used the crowd to warm up his voice and it was hugely entertaining.

[@greghall9702]

I feel compelled to let you know that this song is 100%, most definitely, and I cannot stress this enough NOT ice ice baby by vanilla ice...... Love you Freddie xx
