Queen -Another One Bites the Dust -Reaction

[@amandabirky4642]

Its so true Steph when you hear that song you go back to the 80s. Queen is my favorite band ever!

[@Blablablagailshell123]

Little fun fact about this song is we probably wouldn't be graced with it's presence in our lives if it weren't for Michael Jackson. Bassist John Deacon wrote the song and Freddie gave it everything he had. Sang it till his vocal cords threatened to bleed to get it perfect for John's vision of it. He was liking the "funk" style music at that time. The other 2, Brian and Roger.........not so much into it. In fact, so much that they weren't even wanting to include it on their upcoming album, let alone release it as a single. Michael Jackson heard it, all but demanded they release it as a single. Insisted it was going to be a hit. Thankfully they listened to him. And the rest is history. So let's give MJ a big thankyou on that.😉

[@amb2745]

Another One Bites The Dust went to #1 on both the Billboard Singles Chart and Billboard R&B Charts. No other artist or band has done that.

[@bigmike2464]

Michael Jackson was a MASSIVE fan of Queen. and Freddie was a fan of Jackson as well

[@nancyblumberg4612]

@@amb2745 It is pretty bad that Roger and Brian are not on board with a lot of John’s songs. This was Queens first number one hit in the States.

[@akatoshsdisciple2909]

The most recognisable bass line of all time haha nice reaction/review

[@TheCornishCockney]

every instrument shop you go in,the wannabe bassmen/boys are slapping that fret to THIS bassline.like Smoke on the Water and every wannabe lead guitarist trying that riff first. great stuff.

[@Happy63funny]

I agree but; come together by the Beatles has to be a close second.

[@bigmike2464]

This song was written by John Deacon, The legend bass Player

[@susieq9801]

@@bigmike2464 - On the recording John also played the funky guitar bit (at 2:30 and elsewhere on the video) because Brian said he wasn't good at that style.

[@ibelieveicansoar]

Amazing bassline indeed, but to give credit where it’s due, the first part of it was lifted from Chic’s “Good Times”

[@d4mdcykey]

Steph was ALL into this one, lol. Y'all are so much fun to watch. Had an excellent time sharing your enthusiastic Reactions. And yo, Jay did a damn fine impression of Mercury, that was pretty damn good, man!

[@jeannettespevak2043]

Queen is the greatest band of all time!

[@monickalynn4365]

Omg 1980! We were children then and would sing "another rides the bus" every afternoon riding the school bus home.lol.It was fun

[@NilZed1]

When it was first released in 1977 we would stomp and clap and punch the metal sides of the bus to the beat. And we all sang the verse as hard as we could. Drivers in the cars near us at the stoplight looked up all wide eyed and scared at the noise we made. By third morning, the driver turned off the radio and got out of his seat and said we better quit with that cause we were gonna destroy his bus! We better just clap or he was gonna stop playing the radio on the way to school! We behaved cause losing Queen in the morning would have been horrible.

It is not known if Brian May has ever taken an I.Q. test but others say it could be as high as 180 due to his work and papers on Astrophysics.

[@lydiajoy1823]

I love your reactions to Queen! I graduated high school in 1978 so I was right in the thick of the Queen fandom. Still love them all and miss dear Freddie.

[@terribuchel5686]

My son and daughter in law played parts of this when they entered their wedding reception. Hysterical but a good idea!

[@alexakl6445]

Enjoyed watching you guys enjoying this! This is just one of Freddie's looks which is my favorite. In the mid to late 70s, he didn't have a mustache and had longer hair, like shoulder length and wore more make-up. Then in the 80's he came into this look, kind of the masculine gay man look. Love it and still so sad for the early loss of his life, but he and Queen sure created timeless, amazing music.

[@Swonder1972]

Hey Jay, this went number one on the R&B charts and several others...I know you heard it...I was a little kid...roller skating to this, then...it was all over the FM dial...

[@MR-so1pf]

Love your reaction and I've subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more Queen reactions. Warning, very long comment. lol I love talking about Queen and Freddie. Another One Bites the Dust was written by bass guitarist John Deacon, the song featured on the group's eighth studio album The Game (1980). The song was a worldwide hit, charting number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, from 4 October to 18 October (their second number-one single in the country). The song spent fifteen weeks in the Billboard top ten (the longest running top ten song of 1980), including thirteen weeks in the top five, and 31 weeks total on the chart (more than any other song in 1980). It reached number two on the Hot Soul Singles chart and the Disco Top 100 chart, and number seven on the UK Singles Chart. The song is credited as Queen's best-selling single, with sales of over 7 million copies. This version was ranked at number 34 on Billboard's All-Time Top Songs. The song won an American Music Award for Favorite Rock Single and also garnered a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. John Deacon's bass line was inspired by "Good Times" by the disco group Chic. In an interview with NME, Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards stated, "That Queen record came about because that Queen bass player ... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio." Recording sessions - produced by Reinhold Mack at Musicland Studios in Munich (West Germany) - consisted of Deacon playing almost all instruments: bass guitar, piano, electric guitar, and hand-claps. Roger Taylor added a drum loop and Brian May contributed noises with his guitar and an Eventide Harmonizer. There are no synthesizers 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. In early live performances, Taylor sang lead on the chorus, as opposed to the studio version sung entirely by Mercury. As the song became more well-known, the band could rely on audiences to sing the chorus by themselves. After attending a Queen concert in Los Angeles, Michael Jackson suggested to Freddie Mercury backstage that "Another One Bites the Dust" be released as a single. I'd been wanting to do a track like 'Another One Bites The Dust' for a while, but originally all I had was the line and the bass riff. Gradually, I filled it in and the band added ideas. I could hear it as a song for dancing but had no idea it would become as big as it did. The song got picked up off our album and some of the black radio stations in the US started playing it, which we've never had before. Michael Jackson actually suggested we release it as a single. He was a fan of ours and used to come to our shows. -John Deacon A fantastic bit of work from Freddie really. I mean, I remember Deacie having this idea, but Deacie doesn't sing of course, so he was trying to suggest to Freddie how it should be and Fred just went in there and hammered and hammered until his throat bled, making... you know, he really was inspired bit and took it to a new height, I think. -Brian May I remember laying down the backing track with him and... he really wanted the drums as dry as they could possibly be, so I just stuffed it all with blankets and made it as dead as I possibly could and very low tuned. -Roger Taylor Credit for the song should go to Michael Jackson in many ways. He was a fan and friend of ours and kept telling me, "Freddie, you need a song the cats can dance to." John introduced this riff to us during rehearsal that we all immediately thought of disco, which was very popular at the time. We worked it out and once it was ready, played it for Michael. I knew we had a hit as he bobbed his head up and down. "That's it, that's the gravy. Release it and it will top the charts," he said. So we did and it did. -Freddie Mercury If you Guys want to be really blown away, watch Queen at Live Aid 1985. This performance has been voted as the best live rock performance ever. Live Aid: Live Aid was a dual-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia and West Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast. If accurate, this would be nearly 40% of the world population at the time. Unbelievable, just imagine 1.9 billion people watching this performance around the world. Queen, stole the show and there were approximately 75 other acts performing during the program. Can you imagine all of this? Freddie wrote Crazy Little Thing Called Love as an homage to Elvis. Queen was recording in Munich. Freddie was back at his hotel taking a bath when the idea for the song came to him. He wrote the song in about 10 minutes and told his PA Peter (Phoebe, nicknamed) to call Roger and John and tell them to go to the studio to record the song. If you guys were amazed by Freddie's energy in this 22 minute performance, you haven't seen anything yet. Watch some of their concerts, now imagine Freddie entertaining the audience for 90-120 minutes. He was amazing and mesmerizing. Queen is the best band and Freddie is/was the best front-man ever.......... There can only be one!

[@francinelima5963]

This was the first song of Queen that made me fall in love with all of them, especially Freddie! I heard it everywhere I went! My Dad was ready to kill me because I played it every time we were in the car together! That was until one day, (when he did not know I was looking) ,he started rocking along to the music with me ! Queen is the King of Rock Bands as Elvis is the King of Rock 'n Roll! The only true great Icons!

The iconic song that was never meant to be. It was released as a "B" side to another song off "The Game", but club DJ's in NYC ( in 1980) discovered it and turned it into the monster that still is to this day.

About 40 different SUPER famous groups played that day including Elton John, Phil Collins, Madonna, Black Sabbath, George Michael, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner...a reunited Led Zeppelin with Phil Collins AND Tony Thompson on drums taking the place of Zeppelins late drummer John Bonham.....all playing to get donations from around the world on 100 phone lines for famine relief for millions of starving people in Africa. And the greatest Rock and Pop group of ALL time...QUEEN....with also the best singer and best frontman EVER, Freddie Mercury.....STOLE THE SHOW and the DAY and blew all the other acts away.
