Yo GIYS. LOVE YR REACTIONS (and yr appreciation of Queen's music.. All 4 of them wrote #1 chart hits too! I can tell you honestly that your mind will be blown if you play Queen's gospel style "Somebody To Love" (be absolutely sure it's the version Live in Montreal 1981)... it is Freddie's favorite that he ever wrote & you can hardly believe the notes he hits with his 4 octaves, his energy level, his onstage presence & drummer Roger Taylor's out of this world singing voice WHILE PLAYING HIS DRUMS, which is so hard for others to do...just wait till u hear it ! It's clearly one of their best live performances of a song. Freddie is so passionate about music & I believe that's what made him so great was his passion. They all are legends. Do you know Brian May's 🎸 called The Red Special sounds unlike any other because Brian & his father DESIGNED & BUILT THE GUITAR THEMSELVES !! It's made from old wood from their fireplace, a knitting needle, a bike kickstand, buttons & took 2 years to make & then put finishes on the wood. It's the only guitar he played all his life & still does at 75 yrs old ! Please, please react to Queen's Somebody To Love live concert in Montreal 1985, it's pure genius the way Freddie sings & performs it.

@karenmottram70403 жыл бұрын
When the bass player writes the music, they can show how good a bass player they are by writing their own bass riffs. In many bands, the bass player is usually in the background not thought too much about. Here John shows what he was really capable of and to think it was one that nearly got away. If it wasn't for Michael Jackson who pushed Queen to release it as a single, we wouldn't have got to hear this fantastic arrangement. Such a pity John didn't rate himself and his abilities higher. Freddie loved John's work and encouraged him all the way. No wonder he retired when he lost his dear friend Freddie. I am sure he will be realising it was 30 years on 24th November 2021. Any Queen fan will remember this date. Freddie will be forever missed.

I love this great song from the wonderful Queen with the equally wonderful Mr Freddie Mercury. A consummate showman, charismatic entertainer and a fantastic singer with an instantly recognisable voice. I've said this before in other comments but he could hold an audience in the palm of his hand and they were mesmerised, they couldn't take their eyes off him. One of my favourite reactions which you did, guys, is the one on Queen at Live Aid - brilliant. They stole the show there, no doubt about that. Freddie was taken from us far too soon but as far as I'm concerned, he is still here in spirit and always will be. He left us a fabulous legacy of music that will live on for ever - thank you, Freddie. Great reaction, guys, really enjoyed it as I always do. Many thanks.

The bass line was...inspired...by the great Bernard Edwards of Chic, as I imagine someone has already noted, and while rock fans may be more used to the end result, funk, like reggae and blues and soul before it, is what so many of the 70's rock greats were listening to. Although I think they do rightfully send checks to Chic, they also made a fucking great song to listen to, and it's been a favorite in my Queen playlist since it came out.

Roger Taylor added a drum loop and Brian May contributed noises with his guitar and an Eventide Harmonizer. There are no synthesisers in the song: all effects are created by piano, electric guitars and drums, with subsequent tape playback performed in reverse at various speeds. Finally, sound effects were run through the harmonizer for further processing. The effect of the harmonizer can be heard clearly in the "swirling" nature of the sound immediately before the first lyric Brian didnt like that it didn't have much guitar or solo And roger hated having to dull his drums down
