@reggiestanАй бұрын
It was the record company not the producer, the producer had no say in what was and was not released. The main reason the record company was reluctant to release Bo Rap as a single was due to it being nearly 6 minutes long. Most singles at the time lasted about 3 minutes and EMI dicn't think the UK radio stations would play it. But Queen said you either release it or nothing at all, and they won.

Freddie wanted to sing opera. Other big rock bands were doing rock operas. Freddie put together a song that condensed a few acts of a play/opera into a shorter format than a full album (how other bands were doing their rock operas) with some in-your-face melodrama. That's Bohemian Rhapsody.

This is practically the unofficial national anthem of England! Everyone knows the words and the entire crowd will frequently sing it together at concerts for other bands while waiting for the show to begin. (Check out the crowd singing it at a Green Day concert). Song came out in 1976; this was the first time any group produced a music video made and every band that came after them adopted the practice. MTV (which later actually banned some Queen songs) owes its existence to Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody!

This song came off an album called "A Night At The Opera" in 1975. Every single tune on this record is different. There's a song on it called "The Prophet's Song" that has even more opera style to it. "You're My Best Friend" was their other hit off this album. "Somebody To Love" from Montreal in 1981 should be your next song. I actually saw this 1981 tour in Vancouver, What a Show. Freddy Mercury for many is the ultimate best front man /showman in rock history. 33 years and counting since he left us but the memories are there for all to enjoy.

Just saw your reaction to this most iconic song …..recorded in 1975 by the iconic band …Queen. Lead singer is the legendary Freddie Mercury, lead guitarist is Brian May, bass guitar is John Deacon and drummer is Roger Taylor. You really should react to many more Queen songs…… they have almost 300 recorded songs spread out over 20 years of hits. (1971 to 1991) You will be surprised at how many songs you will recognize ….. but you didn’t know that they were by Queen. Such as “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions”…these two songs were usually always performed at the end of their live concerts. Most all of their songs are better performed live…..than the studio releases, so always try to react to the live versions. Would you please react to “Somebody to Love “ live in Montreal 1981….. then maybe “Another One Bites Dust” live from the same concert. You will love them….😍. I really enjoyed your reaction ….. you seem like a lovely family. I just subscribed and I hope that you will be doing more Queen songs. Thank you 💕

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is Freddie Mercury's personal story about his struggles to come to grips that he was a gay man. He considered suicide (the first part of the song with the gun), then he had voices in his head going back and forth (all the talking heads), & then the song ends with the resolution that he just needs to be himself and don't be ashamed. This was released in 1975. This was a brave song to write for that time period. Good on him.
