Queen BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY Original Studio Multitracks (Listening Session & Analysis) Freddie Mercury

Free Voice Lessons: chrisliepe.com...
My Website: chrisliepe.com
These are simply pure gold. You get to hear all the layers individually. There are alternate endings and Freddie Mercury vocal takes you've never heard before cause they didn't make to the final mix. It is earth shaking and stunning to hear all the instruments and vocals in their raw, unmixed, isolated state. Join me in the celebration of this amazing song and unmatched artistic expression!

Queen's copyright owners will allow this video to remain on youtube but there must be consistent use of frequent stops. No one part of the the song in part or in whole can be played without frequent interruptions. This is partially why I stop and comment and sing during and after key sections that I play. If I just play the files, the video will be taken down. Presenting the files in this format with this kind of flow cements the FAIR USE intent which is why it can remain up on KZbin. Along these lines, I can not reveal where or link to the source files or I'll get a takedown notice as well. Giving away content that is not mine to give also falls outside of FAIR USE intent. Thanks for understanding and for enjoying the video! I'm excited for you to hear all the wonderful nuances!

[@bensnow1388]

Hey, not sure if you’ll see this but did you notice the vocal bit of the line “born at all” from the biopic film? It was the second one you played with the crack. You played it at 14:07 in this video. I just thought it was neat that we got to hear an audio track from the film.

[@phileeepaye1641]

Brilliant video. 👏

[@reneegentry1199]

THANK YOU!

[@Hellosirrrr]

How did you get this multitrack file?

[@DanielTompkinsGuitar]

I think the very high “to meeeee” was sung by Roger Taylor, the drummer who also has an awesome voice. Such a great video! I can’t believe we get to hear the isolated vocals AND alternative takes. Thanks!

[@basstian]

1975 was a great year for him and, coincidentally, one in which Mercury largely steered clear from the soprano range. Taylor guested on a Fox track, 'Survivor' (or was it 'Survival'?) and ended up singing an E6 (a tritone *higher* than this 'Rhapsody' note). Mesmerising!

[@zacharysmithingell5460]

Expressiveness is I think where I would get lost, especially as a younger singer. Freddie is an amazing inspiration for this. His pitch and tone and ear for harmony are on another level, but he doesn't let those interfere with his sincerity and expression. I think it's key to become comfortable with all the different areas of your voice, really learn to live in each area, so when you're performing the passion can lead you to those areas effortlessly.

[@NormanTiner]

Mother of God. I cannot believe I'm hearing all of these raw recordings lately. Chris, stumbling on your channel has been such an awesome opportunity.

[@HealthAtAnyCost]

"Inside the Rhapsody" (in 3 parts) by Brian May does this same breakdown but yours adds a lot to his commentary. Thank you for this! EDIT: Those really low voices are Brian, not Freddie. Brian explains that they were absolutely theatrical... pretending to be enormous tough men when they were low and hard... then like a girls' choir when they were higher. The falsettos were all Roger Taylor. The one note that was extended when Roger is singing "Let him go!" twice is Roger purposefully holding the note over.

[@tracyzimmerman7912]

Anytime Queen is involved I have to check it out. Freddie was one of a kind. He used everything he had to his advantage. It was awesome to hear this Epic song sectioned out. My dad had the Queen greatest hit cassette when I was a kid. I would listen to it and add my own choreography to each song including this one.

[@theveganwujeeta]

Just want to say that this channel points out one of the most important parts of singing that gets unfortunately overlooked by many early and even some experienced singers, your tone. It doesn't matter if a singer has 6 octave range or can belt or any of that if you can't control your tone, especially to be a part of the music like any other instrument. Then you add in the fact that understanding how to make different timbres with your voice will effect a lot of the other aspects of your singing like range, vocal awareness, and volume control you realize it's something all of us should focus on.

[@JohnnyLaps]

Chris I think what we forget about Freddie is that his voice is so clear.

[@chrisliepe]

His tone is sooooo clean!

[@JohnnyLaps]

@@chrisliepe yes! imagine him with today's technology.

[@ZENOBlAmusic2]

That is because Freddie was spinto tenor, it is the metal in his voice. It creates a vert clear sound. very rare voices.

[@JohnnyLaps]

@@ZENOBlAmusic2 thats really interesting and thank you!

[@laurarl9261]

Great! I've been obsessed with Queen lately and Bohemian Rhapsody has so much to pay attention to that hearing the tracks isolated helps a lot to appreciate it. Thanks!

[@granttaylor8179]

Interesting how you never mentioned Brian's and Roger's vocals to get the operatic effect. The really high vocal you can hear is actually Roger not Freddie. They multi tracked all vocals and guitars to give their sound real depth when needed.

[@powerpopaholic876]

I think you mean double-tracked

[@granttaylor8179]

@@powerpopaholic876 they used more than 2 tracks for the audio I believe. I maybe wrong but I think it was more than 2 to get the chior effect.

[@fredabrard]

Wow, just wow. Hearing the isolated tracks of such a masterpiece showing stunning performance and genius but also imperfections, cracks, pitch and timing inaccuracies brings so much humanity and perspective. Raw rock and roll, yet with unmatched emotions. This is so recomforting and inspiring. Thank you!

[@JonesyJulien]

Ive never heard a review/analysis if Fred’s voice given with such a passion and a love for the human voice as yours. Thank you so much for this. It’ll definitely help me to become a more interesting vocalist singer. Especially since Queen is some of my favourite songs to belt out. Amazing.

[@frankunodostres473]

so interesting and makes me respect the band even more. so much love was put into this music

[@1DaTJo]

Thanks for your insightful and illuminating presentation of Freddie’s awesome talent, using your own mastery. Excellent!

[@Coylee91]

A couple of noteworthy mentions of the phasing effect from how close the double tracked vocals are to one another, aside from this. Love Of My Life - A Night At The Opera, 1975; You Take My Breath Away - A Day At The Races, 1976; I Can't Live With You - Innuendo, 1991. As you intimated, Freddie had painfully underrated studio technique.

[@thespankmyfrank]

This is so cool! Hearing all those layers is awesome. And as a huge MCR fan since I was a kid I can so clearly see the inspiration they took from this song when writing Welcome to the Black Parade. The theatrical beginnings that switch to a huge rock banger, then ending in a soft place again, and both Freddie and Gerard play so much with their voices and characters. Funny thing is, my mum was a huge Queen fan as a kid and then I fell in love with MCR without knowing they were clearly inspired by them in a lot of ways. Sooo I guess it's in my genes. Basically, older music inspiring new music for generations to come is great.

[@therealdudeski]

You could be a pretty solid Mercury impersonator the way you mimic his intricacies while explaining it

[@mason7392]

I just found you, and as a mix engineer, I greatly appreciate and love these breakdowns!! I love seeing my favorite songs! I have so many more to catch up on!

Who would have thought the cracking voice take on the "I sometimes wish ive never been born at all" would be used on a film.

[@chrisliepe]

RIGHT!

[@iamtonisilvers]

i agree with you chris when you said freddy's voice is empowering , it is like freddy is talking to us, telling us that he is a phenomenal singer and we can be too we just have to embrace who we are , that gives our voice the character everybody chase. , thank you chris your lessons teaches me beond singing , it is not always about the pitch MORE POWER TO THE CHANNEL

[@EsQuizzyMusic]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! "Theatrical spasticness" - PURE GOLD. Thank you again SO MUCH for sharing these. I have to confess that this makes Freddie more human - and a more… down-to-earth, approachable singer to me than anything else I had learned about him so far. =)

[@hazeyjanemusic]

‘Spasticness’? Really? Great video otherwise.

[@jamiegunn]

Great video! Amazing hearing the differences of Freddy's multiple takes, and his voice alone.

[@chrisliepe]

Those multiple takes floored me!!!!

[@jamiegunn]

@@chrisliepe Wow!! So amazing!!

[@josephstude5638]

Chris, thanks for another one of these! I am seriously inspired hearing incredible vocalists like this without all the production tricks masking their humanity. One of the most important lessons I've learned in my journey, partially because of tracks like this, is not to be intimidated by perfection or feeling like there's no way I can do a thing and to just go for it. Loving the ride man, thanks for everything.

[@mustuploadtoo7543]

This channel is underrated - good luck on 1M subs because you will get there and deserve it :) i love these multitrack videos you do (i am not that interested in singing but these types of videos can be appreciated by musicians and non-musicians alike). thanks 🙃

[@WDXash]

Some might see this as fairly easy to copy/emulate with their voices, the real gift is actually writing it and producing it as we hear it. So many Queen tracks are packed with brilliance.

[@jonevans6356]

Wow Chris, what a great example of controlled emotive expression (vocally AND musically), and thanks for sharing your analysis of such an iconic song/performance! Little details make big differences, and though they just seem to naturally come, there's no doubt that some serious WORK went into it. Great job!

[@JonesyJulien]

At 14:10, that section is used in the Bohemian Rhapsody film! When the boys are at Rockfield farm recording the film’s titular song, Freddie goes into the farmhouse and bangs out that section on the grand in there and sings that isolated track, voice crack and all! I just think it’s so neat.

[@Rusli1659LPSoldier]

wait a minute, that's the same take from that scene? that's interesting.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Totally feel you Chris. I study the exact same stuff. Just so much to be extrapolated from these isolated tracks. So much to admire, to appreciate, to embellish your own voice with. I totally get it. We are so fortunate to be able to have these vocals touch our senses. Our ancestors and singers of earlier times never had this opportunity.

[@RobbJolleymusic]

Looking at singing as I’m playing character has dramatically changed how I sing thanks to your advice! Not only am I getting the results that I’ve been wanting for YEARS, I get myself out of the way, stop taking myself too seriously, and I’m actually having fun now instead of worrying about singing “perfectly.”

[@waynehales5765]

What a great singer Freddie was,a fantastic video Chris.Very interesting how it was arranged.

[@ibm8561]

This was really educational, I’ve noticed that singing is basically like music production when it comes to layering different sounds, sometimes its the most imperfect and ugly sounds that make a track perfect

[@davidquintana8395]

that whole album is an play.. story weaved into an eargasm of explosive emotion..

[@granttaylor8179]

Queen would blend the 3 voices of Freddie, Brian and Roger then multi track them to give a chior sound. They did this for a lot of their songs. They have done this with Brian's Red Special where he has the feed going through 3 amps. The end result is there sounds like 3 of Brian playing. Brighton Rock is a good example. Check out The Prophet's song for a good example of Freddie's vocals.

[@good_words4507]

Some dissonance in the harmony💜 the way my voice exits my face. Wow!

[@vascofmdc]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I had goosebumps throughout this video. Man, I'd love to get my hands on those tracks... just so I could spend hours listening to all the nuances that get lost in the end mix... Once again thank you for sharing.

[@ThunderMaiden]

My choir is practicing this, so so interesting 🧐 Especially where he sings “my” parts of course. Very inspiring

[@Gavrev]

Some beautiful dissections of the source material there man.. I remember Brian musing upon Freddie's capacity to sing against himself so well that it would phase - obvious on the final single/album mix but great to hear in isolation!

[@WinItReigns]

@@ajsmusic711 I suppose that it comes down to what the Artist presents within the Listener. I could point out albums that showcase certain qualities of character that really speak to me but Again it's about what resonates. There are so many great singers that are all unique from each other.

That's some top tier content, really insightful and helpful analysis. I honestly don't understand how the hell your videos get like 10x less views than some boring vocal coach reaction videos. Huge thanks for everything that you do here and good luck!

[@chrisliepe]

Ya, dumb youtube algorithm... I don't really get it either... except that my videos are more focused on education and training, and most of those other reaction videos are simply just that... a REACTION... People will click just to see someone have an emotional response to a song they like, but they are not necessarily there to learn anything. My channel really is aimed more at people who are here to discover, learn and in the process grow in appreciation of music. There are not as many people out there like that online so I kinda get it :)

[@kater9124]

Oh WOW❤️‍🔥!!! What a treat! Thank you so much for this! Such an excellent breakdown/analyzationy, your insight is priceless, especially with Freddy‘s voice; you really REALLY get his voice! Btw, there’s no words to describe here the weight of what happened with my voice this week while studying your Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey vocal analyzation . It is something very very special, I’ll have to show you during a lesson when I join your course next enrolment. There are things I’m doing and tones coming out of me in which I’ve never been able to do, and with ease. I didn’t even know how to do vibrato prior to discovering your channel lol; can’t wait show you what you’ve done for me, And to grow and build it even more. You are incredible, thank you! (Seriously Stapleton video has done something to my brain/my soul, and my voice.

This was amazing!! So many emotions going through me now.

[@jordanfiction]

really neat! between this, the deftones, avenged sevenfold, and my chemical romance, you’re teaching me so much about vocal production and what really matters when recording. and i love that you describe his breathy tone as putting a sheen over the harmonies. i experience sound in a very visual way so all of these videos are a life saver 🖤

[@johngraham5996]

fascinating and very interesting, it shows the complex mind of freddie and how clever he was to make the whole thing come together! but on a negative note it really bugs me how many of these so called Queen fans spell FREDDIE'S name with a Y 👑✊🇬🇧

[@showard64]

I wish I could like this more than once.

[@fiddlestix3025]

Totally fascinating! After listening to that you’ve got to love Freddy’s voice and musicality even more…! I also love the ‘imperfections’ (if one can call it that) in his various takes. It’s time to question perfection… As a violinist I’ve always tried to ‘sing’ with my instrument, indeed often singing first what I then try to play. And then, once when playing a concert with a singer, she told me that she’s always trying to sound like a violin :) Thanks for this awesome analysis, Chris 🙏

[@fiddlestix3025]

Chris, I would absolutely love and appreciate for you to listen to Jonah Nilsson’s cover of MJ’s ‘Bad’, just for your own interest and hopefully pleasure: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ6uYqajn5qlsLM 👍

I want a LOT more of these style videos-the multitrack breakdowns, that is. This one and the ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ videos have helped me vocally more than you can imagine. It’s nice to hear heroes’ solo voices-less alienating or intimidating than figuring out from the song on the album.

[@gooBKartWii]

Nice video man! I had the chance to mix this song in 7.1 while in school and it was probably my favorite mix I’ve ever done. I guess it’s easy to say when we have some of the best recordings of the best musicians in the world, plus in a surround sound format! Keep up the good work🤙

Okeeey I've been waiting for this video pretty much It's legendary!!🤯

[@chrisliepe]

[@tasteapiana]

What you said about it not being about ''pulling up the sound'' but what you do with it is very true. There are a million+ EVH fans out there with basically his guitar sound, yet not one of them has done anything comparable with it. I think of real-dirt issues like Freddie not liking his teeth, he HAD to be somewhat ashamed of the sound of his voice and the naturally peculiar inflections of it due to having an overbite but HOLY SHHHH did he compensate by making that into a plus by learning to control every little facet of his voice. I'll say it a gazillion times and never doubt it - the most loved musical recordings of all times have very little to do with the chosen sounds on them. It's NOT the sound of Eddie's guitar or Brian's - it's Eddie and Brian, had Freddie been born with Walter Cronkite's vocal cords he would still have blown us away with how he used them. He could have blown our minds had he been born with Bob Dylan's voice! Good tools are important, yes, but it's more important to know how to use them and how not to, why even matters more than what. Roy Thomas Baker was the perfect producer for Queen in this era. He got it and, like George Martin, he was 110% willing to go down any rabbit hole the boys wanted to dive into and match their fantastical concepts with fantastical technical brilliance - all while using normal everyday workman tools. Again, nothing really special about the sounds other than who was making them ;)

[@kathrynlouiseberman7919]

Thank you for bringing us this content. This video comes at such a perfect time for me because my recent focus has been to listen with more intention. Between your video and Rick Beato's, which focuses more on the instrumental aspects, I feel like I have attended master classes on listening. Oh, and for those who may not know, because at one time I didn't either, Rick sings the amazing high parts, not Freddie.

[@josieangel4297]

It’s so interesting to hear this. Amazing to hear no auto tune, just the real deal… . You do an amazing job. I love you reactions on Queen and MJ. If you have the opportunity to do it on “ Heart “ and bee gees , it would be amazing.

[@davidmacfarlane1763]

Its interesting you mention the "guitar sings on this track". A lot of Queens songs it sure does (live and in Studio). I'm not going to geek out over the Red Specials construction, the Deacy Amp etc. But I will point out, that the "Old Lady" the Red Special, is the 5th member of Queen. Brian makes it sing. You can see this in the Montreal Somebody to Love, where Feddie holds an extended note, and you suddenly realize that its been entwined with Brians playing, its so tight its not suddenly apparent, till Freddie quickly turns (sweat flying) and they cut to Brian, before he too cuts it off , and Freddie is off around the stage to amp us up even more.

[@Imaspongeking]

Roger was also doing a high note there, he goes on a bit longer than Freddie and then it blends in with the guitar

[@MarkusBoettner]

[@Sense_of_Insight]

In some of the places where there are gang vocals being done some of the vocals were contributed by other members of the band, specifically when you mentioned them being summed its because they wanted to capture the sound of vocals being harmonized in the room. In fact that high note sung before the heavier section wasnt Freddy!

[@barrymitchell6444]

He probably sang "thing" instead of "think" to avoid a clicking sound, bearing in mind he double-tracked those vocals making it even more noticeable?

[@halcooper3070]

Remember, the real high stuff is Roger. And some of the low stuff is Brian, not sure that isolated beschmiel lach bit is Freddie, because they were all getting in character

[@basstian]

In fact, Brian didn't usually sing the lowest bit. That's just one of those myths. It *is* true that, when singing lead, he usually stayed more within the baritone range than his bandmates (All Dead, Sleeping on the Sidewalk, Some Day One Day, She Makes Me), but when it came to harmonies he'd often sing the middle part ('39, Son and Daughter) or even the high one (not as often as Roger but still...).

[@johngraham5996]

do you mean 'bismillah'??? 👑✊🇬🇧

[@halcooper3070]

@@johngraham5996 I went phonically, since I didn't know the lyrics. Interesting to know there was a while Islamic struggle with Satan in there...

[@ZENOBlAmusic2]

Not really true, their harmonies changed from song to song. All of them did low, middle and high parts. By 1979 Roger's falsetto as gone. Roger just had very feminine high falsetto. Freddie could sing higher in falsetto then Roger, but his high falsetto sounded more like his natural voice. Roger sang lower notes then Freddie. The highest note in Queen's discography is an E6 note sung by Freddie, the lowest is E2 sung by Roger.

These aren't all Fredde though. Roger Taylor and Brian May were also incredible singers. Roger did the high parts. And if you doubt Brian May's vocal abilities, go listen to "All Dead, All Dead." He sings lead, and for years I thought it was Freddie.

[@Ynotchila]

Brian and Roger were 2/3s of the vocals on this track fyi. Roger’s high notes were epic!

[@666thsense]

i think its interesting to have an educated take on performances. its very likely none of this stuff was apparent to the artists when they were doing it. they were probably just singing in whatever way they could to get the take across or achieve the effect without knowing why or what they were doing. especially in cases of cobain and similar artists that had zero training in any shape or form. i doubt even michael jackson knew what he was doing aside from the fact that he was trying to make it sound the way he imagined. another cobain example is he sang a lot of songs in a drone or hum (something in the way) there was no breath, it was all just reverberation in his head. but he sang this way most of the time for the occlusion effect of playing loud and live without any monitoring for years and years. even when he's screaming, its mostly delivered in this way to hold and hear the note internally when playing. i think its funny that the magic people try so hard to understand is really just boiled down to punk roots in garages and VFW halls.

It might actually be a 'comp' of all three!

[@TonyRegent]

The last part where you hear Freddie singing "Nothing really matters, anyone can see.." comes from the 1st vocal take on top 🙂 If you listen to the original version you can hear Freddie singing with a lighter tone, and extending the last two words "to meeeee" exactly like in the 1st vocal track 👍

[@obiwankenobi1372]

perfectly analyzed to the point. deeper than even rick beato does ;) 👍👍👍👍👍

[@JohnnyRawks]

Hi Chris. Have you ever done a video about how to memorize lyrics and melodies and all the vocal subtleties when learning to cover a song? There's so much involved to get a cover done as closely as possible to the original. It's a super heavy lift for the brain, I find. For me, the challenge is not actually singing it. The challenge for me is actually learning and memorizing all the details involved. Right now I'm learning Sweet Soul Sister by The Cult. Seems pretty simple, but there's actually quite a bit to unpack and replicate to get it done properly. All Ian Astbury's subtleties have to be lifted and replicated. I want people to think it's the album playing when I'm covering stuff.

[@CareerDropout.]

This video has inspired me to want a closed off isolated vocal room to become more familiar with my voice
