Musicians Watch Millionaire Waltz by Queen and ARE AMAZED!

[@notanotherenigma7759]

John Deacon's bass line... Best ever...

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😁

[@joanmayfield4791]

Queen is never boring. And because there are so many elements in each song, repetition makes it get even better.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Haha right? Well said!

[@soundofnellody262]

Agree so much .. being a queen-fan since 1988 and never lost connection to their sound over the decades.

[@bbbfst]

I burst out laughing at the autotune question ... Aidan's expression and response was hilarious. (And spot on.)

[@Calmontheoutside]

I know! I predict a bunch of us old timers are heading to shrinks watching young reactors pondering the use of auto tune!

[@johnsmith-es7zk]

Waltz, ragtime, callipso, soul, jazz, rock, metal, lullaby, folk etc. The range is unrivalled. The quality is awesome. Four amazing musicians with different tastes coming together and creating musical genius.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

Don't forget classical/Baroque, Music hall and pop!

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

Also the beatles definitely rival if not beat them when it comes to range.

[@SteveSmith-wk9dx]

Freddie's pitch on "come back to me" immediately following "counting the hours days by day", especially the way he hits the "me" and then falls out of it. This track has so many Queen moments: Brian's waltz on guitar, the drums kicking into the 4/4 section, John's bass interacting playfully with the piano. But that phrase is worth a dozen Bohemian Rhapsodies for me.

[@williamvorstelman2151]

Wow,I never thought anyone would understand this piece like me. Been listening to this album since 77. The millionaire waltz still blows me away!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kendallneason3645]

Us old Queenies don’t forget. We saw Queen live. They had their own genre they were so eclectic and Freddie’s four octave range was powerful. They were incredible and quite experimental but no auto tune or prerecorded tracks. These were professional musical artists -the Mozarts of the 20th century.

I was fortunate to have seen Queen three times with Freddie 😉

[@sharonallforloveandpositiv5497]

Try Seaside Rendevous or Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon, very 20s 30s esq' Freddie actually sings with a bucket on his mic to get that very old type of sound on Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon. Hence in the film Bohemian Rhapsody when they are first doing their demo you see them with coins and the bucket swinging on the mic...that part depicted how experimental they were with different sounds using very odd things....including thimbles on their fingers tap dancing on the production desk.

[@kendallneason3645]

Yes Brian May said in an interview the whole band had such fun coming up with sounds for seaside.

[@kimd.9070]

Brian used the Deaky amp on this. This accounts for some of the unique sound he had in this song.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Interesting!

[@Mcqlfc]

When you have 2 Mozart's in a band backed by a sonic volcano then you are on a winner!

[@goukenslay7555]

the fact freddie said he wasnt very good at piano really under estimated his own abilities

[@damiensynq3641]

I was told by a vocal instructor in England that Freddie, Brian and Rodger would all sing each harmony note directly into the mic, in unison. They would then repeat that process 3 times for each individual note, bounce all of those voices down to 2 tracks, and then do the same for the next harmony part. On top of that, their voices just so happen blend perfectly together. And then throw in the tones from Brian's guitars. I am absolutely obsessed with the Queen sound!

[@lcbcreative]

I love the discussion style reaction - especially when it involves musicians who share their knowledge and point out things I would never notice. Thanks, guys! I'm here for it! Back in the seventies and eighties I just knew that I loved Queen, I had no idea how truly gifted they each were.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Discussion based reactions is what makes this channel different than all of the other channels out there. I'm happy you learned something new from our nerdy brains 😂

[@lcbcreative]

@@JeffreyHackReacts There is no detail too small when it comes to Queen. 😄 I have watched hours of music theorists talk about BoRhap without ever once getting bored. 🤓 This was a great reaction.

[@LeroyBrown84]

Like Piano Man 😂👑

[@carolcjh8938]

Deaky is so awesome on bass in this song. So melodic in the beginning then chugging away mid-song, 12:02. Just wow. Great reaction, guys.

[@Danielik25]

The March Of The Black Queen, please, great reaction

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Thanks for the recommendation.

[@i8granola]

Yes! You will love it. It's crazy.

[@Calmontheoutside]

If I could only take one song to live out my days on a deserted island, I would take Side Black from Queen II. 😊

[@The_momur]

Was there ever as more luscious intro than that bass and piano duet?

[@MrBeblis]

Now that is a bass player.. that is how to play the bass

[@trudehunnicutt8214]

I saw them several times beginning in 1975 so I agree that they are the greatest band of all time!!!!🥰

[@sherryheim5504]

I really love these songs that have a sort of romantic, old fashioned feel layered on top of a soft rock mood, then the unexpected rock punch up. Freddie was a genius in his blending of music, nothing was too dangerous for him to try, Queen rarely played it safe. Thank you for your reaction. If you have not yet done March Of The Black Queen, you truly must. That song is amazing. More Queen?? Yes, Please. I can never get enough and seeing people react and break it down is always so much fun. I was born in the 1950s so Queen has been a staple for most of my life and I forget how each of their songs hit me the first time I heard them, so it is good to relive it through the reactions of others.

[@JanS1]

Such a great Queeniest of Queen song ;) Enjoyed your comments guys. Also loved the speed of the auto tune denial. It's almost hard to believe that most of the time it was just four immensely talented guys and nothing else. Nothing else needed. We're so lucky they found each other.

[@josephinemonahan915]

Thank you,....love your reactions...Queen were a genre...that’s the only to put it....about your shirt Aidan...Freddie was a graphic designer...he designed that Queen logo...look closely at it...he put the Zodiac signs of the four of them in it......he designed coats for his sister...he danced with The Royal Ballet....he modelled as a groom (Jane Seymour was his bride) in Fashion Aid...both of those vids are on KZbin....the ballet dancer Wayne Sleep put it very well, he said “Freddie was an event”... in my opinion he was an all round genius🤩

[@stefanboskovic4724]

Love everything about Queen. Love this song and the variety they can bring to rock music. So glad I managed to get to see them with Freddie. Nothing else comes close

[@maryannkelley6808]

More Queen (of course!) and Aidan is correct, Queen has something for everyone in their catalog. If you don't like Queen, you just haven't found it yet. Some Queen suggestions: Innuendo, Man on the Prowl, Breakthru, 39, Nevermore, One Vision and Keep Passing the Open Windows... With 15 albums, there are MANY songs and genres to choose from.

[@adolfshikongo7700]

Back in the 70s I used to call Queen’s music Aristocratic Rock.

[@elizaluilee8781]

Well said 👍🏻… They are ….

[@deboraclark5791]

[@kuntumlaleanqueezer]

Yesss!!! Greatest Band of all time!!! Thank you for this reaction 👑❤

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Of course 😁

[@soundofnellody262]

Brian is a master of guitar play. I feel he is highly underrated. You notice right away the sound of his guitar. You simply know this is his sound.

[@janetschulman7649]

I love when men fall in love with Freddie. He’s irresistible. Of course it’s the whole sound that you are so passionate about. I see it in your face and I know how you feel. There isn’t a day that goes by without listening to one of their beauties. I’ll never get tired of them. .

[@elkevera]

Aiden is absolutely right. Queen is my niche and I have been digging into the Classic Queen songs. I receive so many comments from subs :"I have never heard this song before."- Yes, I know why. Because you have most likely become a Queen fan AFTER THAT MOVIE (don't get me started on this subject) and never looked into the beginnings and where they came from.-- I truly enjoyed your reaction, thank you very kindly ❣

[@LeeHardingakaFirmament]

You should definitely check out “The March Of The Black Queen” or “The Fairy Feller’s Masterstroke” from the Queen II album - technically complex but highly melodic and musical. I reckon you’d both approve.

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

Everybody can find at least one song in the Queen's huge catalog that fits to the taste. Great reaction guys I really enjoyed it, thank you!

[@Stanley-h4e]

The sensation you feel is what I felt 30 years ago when I first heard it. It was a complete exploded surprise. You replay the song whenever you find a nice part and discuss how good it is, that's also what I did 30 years ago. There's always something new in every Queen song which always wrapped in hard rock and desire for perfection. For Queen, good music is not their identity. Their music must be extremely good and if possible more than that.

[@ruddyrutherford]

As a life long Queen fan I have to echo Aiden's comments. Queens genius (although evident in their "popular" songs) is truly found in their "hidden gems".

[@petertalyigas8645]

Deacon! What a bassplay is going on there under this Waltz? You might have mentioned :)

[@imweakfordeaky]

Thank you ! John’s bass is sublime here !

One of the BEST Queen reactions, EVER: …”PEOPLE FORGET HOW EXCELLENT A PIANO PLAYER FREDDIE MERCURY WAS” and “HE’S 20 DIFFERENT SINGERS IN ONE.”💕 P.S. You can get Fred’s leotard on Amazon!

[@Scott65J]

I consider this song to be the most representative of Queen at the time - like an encapsulation

"Who's ready for some more Queen reactions?" Oooh OOooh ME! ME!

[@anitaklein1198]

So wonderful seeing your appreciation of this amazing song. It has always been one of my favorites. I see Bohemian Rhapsody and Millionaire Waltz as siblings. Millionaire Waltz is the overlooked but more interesting of the two.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Very true! They have very similar vibes.

[@treetrout3987]

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!! I saw them in 81, I think. We were of bent minds as we took the subway to the concert. A friend of ours passed out, we could not wake him so we left at the stop. We saw Thomas the next day and he had a ticket to a Queen concert on the previous night... with the stub still on it!!!!!!!!!!. He had it laminated and put it on his back pack. OH!! the hilarity and pathos.

[@stevehennessy2931]

Correct. Greatest band of all time. Nobody talks about "It's Late." Unbelievable song!

[@amysmith4978]

Queen has always been my favorite band and Millionaire Waltz is by far my FAVORITE Queen song!! Everyone always reacts to their popular songs and never the lesser known ones. So glad you pulled this one out. It is perfection!!! ❤ What Brian May does with his guitar is phenomenal but no one ever takes the time to really listen to the bass guitar on this song. It’s incredible. If you ever get an opportunity to listen to the bass part isolated it is incredible in my opinion. John Deacon doesn’t always get the love he deserves. Thank you for sharing this, been waiting for someone to appreciate this brilliant damn song! 😂 Another great lesser known Queen song to give a listen to is Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy.

[@strawbrryfld1]

A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races are titles of two of the Marx brother films. The music on these two Queen albums fits with the style and era of those two movies, but was made contemporary by the addition of rock to the songs.

[@jeffmiller4832]

May I suggest Somebody to Love from the 1981 Montreal concert? Or Who Wants to Live Forever from Wembley. Their Live Aid set. Saw them four times in concert in the 70’s-80’s. My ears are still ringing. 🤣

[@heatherqualy9143]

An example of why I protest when people say live Queen is ALWAYS better live. I don’t think this song was ever done justice in a live version. The piano and outstanding bass are too difficult to really appreciate. And the studio version has such a “punch you in the face” feel when Brian and Roger come in halfway through the song. This version makes the song feel more like…fluff.
