[@kendallneason3645]

Researchers did a study on Freddie Mercury’s voice. His vibrato was faster than anyone else they tested. He also used not just his vocal chords but the ventricular folds in his throat to sing subharmonics. That’s how he was able to create a unique vocal print that sounds angelic to us and allowed him to sing 4 octaves. By 1979 he’d developed painful vocal nodes from singing rock since he was 12 years old. So for his last 12 years it hurt to sing but it didn’t stop him. He was the legend of rockstardom.

[@pattydella4]

Freddie & MJ admired each other. MJ got the whole "one glove" thing from Freddie (who was doing it way back in the early 70's) and it was Michael who advised Queen to release "Another One Bites the Dust" as a single (& it turned out to be one of their biggest hits). They recorded together but very briefly. MJ wanted his llama in the studio & Freddie found it hard to work like that (I kid you not). I've only been watching your reactions for a short while (& enjoying them) but now that you're doing some Queen I'll be sticking around for sure.💙

#NoLifeShaq You really should make an exception for Queen @ live Aid, let that be your one "40 minute" reaction. Why? because its THE performance of the decade, and to Queen fans, its the best performance of all time, any band, any style, anywhere. A quick "guide", its the biggest benefit concert ever, world wide that day, and Queen is playing for 72.000 people in London (many of them, NOT his target audience, note this, its very important), and an additional estimated 1.9 BILLION !! people across 150 nations, during a Global live television and radio broadcast. Trust me, that 25 minutes, are a big... really big deal and you CANNOT ignore it.

[@wolf762x51]

And it was broadcast worldwide live, the first time that technology had been used for anything of that nature, and never before or after for such a monumental event. They really didn't know if the tech would work all day or if it would have a lot of transmission issues. Then, you had Phil Collins play in London, and take the Concorde to the US and play here on the same day. Every band that played was fantastic, but a lot of the major acts were last minute things, and a few big solo acts didn't have time to get their bands there. David Bowie got there last minute, and couldn't get his whole band there. He went over to Thomas Dolby and grabbed him and got him in the helicopter and took him with him to play synths. Bowie went over the Chord progressions in the helo with Dolby, and they got in about 15 minutes of practice before they went on stage. These guys were tremendous talents.

[@j0hnn13K]

@@wolf762x51 yeah it was, what you could call, a magical day. Top acts, top talents, reunions we'd never thought to ever see happen (Led Zeppelin for instance).

[@kellysweeney8809]

right, bet he didnt know Queen sued Vanilla Ice for stealing the song lol

[@1anglen1]

I've seen Queen in concert, when he sang the hair on your arm raised. It was magical. The crowds were large because no cell phones, no internet, just radio, vinyl and bad TV. You lived for a live concert it was an experience you never forgot. With MP3 and streaming music and computers controlling vocals live music is fading away. Big loss. I went to so many concerts with great memory's.

[@vickiejean2001]

11:11 Roger, as always, backing his best friend up. Roger’s vocals are always sooooo underrated.

[@niunia19991]

Exactly! And he is an amazing singer, he barely missed a note as far as I've seen, and I've seen many lives. He is always on point and sings his parts exactly how it should be, helps Freddie when he's in need - cuz Freddie always gave 120% live and his voice could not really take it sometimes, like in this performance, when there was longer vocal back up from Roger, Freddie made it a little lighter, didn't push himself that much, because he could always count on Rog. His back up vocals in Somebody to Love are GREAT. And there were times when he was picking up over Fred when the man was too exhausted to sing anymore. Queen was one heart and one soul. It still is, just one soul slightly away. But the heart of the band lives on.

You REALLY need to see Live Aid '85. Best performance in music history

[@gorga14]

If you want to see real crowd control you HAVE to do live aid. We’d all watch it. Probably twice haha.

[@LPdedicated]

"This man's voice just sounded like a piano!" - I never thought of it like that!! That's a great description! Freddie was a true master of his instrument!

[@adamant007]

He mentioned once in an interview that he uses that crowd interaction to warm up his vocal cords...with the added benefit of getting the crowd hyped.

[@alreadyblack3341]

@@johnnyparsnips7641 That's not how this works... You can't just equate two entirely different things such as disorders and music preferences as if there is a connection, and then offer no reasonable way these two things intertwine. That'd be like saying Assault Weapon bans are going to prevent poachers from killing endangered species. But what you said is worse, considering these disorders barely cover the same topic as musical preferences. How does OCD, for instance, and all it encompasses in regards to lifestyle, compare to the style of music normally associated with dubstep? And not dubstep didn't even really take all of mainstream music. Single artist were popular yes, but the whole wave lasted barely a couple months.

Most of today’s “artist” “forget” that it’s the crowd that feeds there energy... if you have the crowd singing with you or even just bopping to you then you want to go to next level.... He would warm the crowd up to get them going, look at Upchurch, Metallica, Michel Jackson, Tupac... they are the people, they are fans living the dream.... the best athletes play better because of the fans, they play through the pain for them, why.... because they don’t want to let there fans down, those that support them no matter how they play.... they lift others up to superhuman abilities...

[@lizrutherford2656]

Damn shame that Queen and David Bowie never performed this together live.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6CnmZKdfampoc0 This video is a new mix between the Wembley version (12/7/86), the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert version at the same stadium in 1992

[@patl4416]

They did KZbin it

[@marcosaguilar8504]

I think David knew that Freddie would have outshined him because of his fierce stage presence, that’s just my theory.

[@patl4416]

Marcos Aguilar they did perform together

[@lizrutherford2656]

@@patl4416 No, they didn't. The only thing that is close to them together is the mashup with Wembley in '86 and Bowie in '92. I don't know where you think they performed this together, since Bowie did not start incorporating Under Pressure into his live shows in 1995, four years after Freddie's death.

Nice! We all stand in awe of Freddie and Queen’s ability to hold an audience in the grip of their hands! Brilliant performance. Long live Freddie Mercury in our hearts.

I love seeing you react to rock and metal. I’m a black dude who listens to classic rock and metal mostly. Im soooo glad to see someone expand their horizons in music. It’s so much good music out there. Keep rocking out bro. And Queen is my favorite band. You should watch rock Montreal, imo Freddie’s best recorded live gig when it comes to his vocals. 🤘🏿

[@silentbob6158]

The crowds were happy because of all the energy and love he poured into every performance and he included the them in the show. He tore down the invisible barrier between the artist and the audience. We felt like we were part of the show.
