Queen Bohemian Rhapsody Reaction | My Life Is Complete!

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody music video reaction. First time listening to Bohemian Rhapsody and It feels like I missed a lifetime of great music. The melody, lyrics, and feeling of nostalgia this song brings is amazing. Having never heard it, it felt like I knew the song. The song feels like a period of time we all go through and call reflect back on. Peaceful song this is.

“This is crazy.” Yep, and welcome to the 1970’s! And also welcome to the world of Queen and Freddie Mercury and good music. Your favorite song for the next couple of weeks? This song has been one of my favorite songs for the last 47 years (this song was released when I was in high school) and I am not alone in that, not by a long shot. This is a favorite song of millions of people. What genre is it? The genre is: Queen. Cuz Queen is pretty much in a league of its own. Sure, Queen has a signature sound but I don’t think they have a signature type of music cuz their vast catalog covers such a range of music over decades. Musicians before them paced their way, and the musicians of Queen paved the way for the music which came later. Glad you are opening yourself up to different kinds of music and while you do that, please keep listening to Queen. It’s worth the time. Also, condolences to you for the loss of your cousin; that’s rough! Hang in there!

@ Jazzle Fettie - I could've not say this better and I am a fan since 1975, when I heard Bohemian rhapsody on radio Free Europe for the first time. "The genre is QUEEN" - indeed ❤

Without missing a beat I came in with the "thunderbolts of lightning" part. He yelled "hell yeah here we go!" We exchanged Galileos then the light turned green and he turned. Greatest song ever!

[@loisvansciver9194]

Considered one of the greatest songs in rock history. You definitely need to react to Somebody to Love live in Montreal from 1981. Roger Taylor, the drummer, also has an incredible voice.

This is a rhapsody. It’s a masterpiece made up of different sections of a composition. Basic musical definition of a rhapsody. And Freddie Mercury was legendary genius. There will never be another. ❤️

[@sherryheim5504]

1975 is when this song came out. It is iconic and beautiful. Queen is 4 people but the opening acapella is only Freddie multi-tracked. The rest is the whole band. You have missed so much, there is so much great music you need to listen to. Queen is one of the greatest bands ever and Freddie Mercury with his unique voice is one of the greatest singers of all time. You need to watch Queen live, Freddie is said to be the best frontman ever. This band really will blow your hair back with every performance. Each of the 4 members are super talents and each wrote number 1 songs for the band. All are college educated with degrees, the guitar player, Brian May having a PhD in Astrophysics and does some work with NASA. Queen has over 200 songs in their catalog some of which I am sure you have heard, just didn't know who wrote or performed the songs. There is tons more to the Queen story but for now, thank you for your wonderful reaction. This is probably under the heading of Rock Opera but Queen never had a style, they did everything. With 4 writers with different tastes in music, Queen covered all genres. What they did always have was great harmonies, amazing songs and a sound like no other band. If it is Freddie's voice you want to hear, as mentioned below, Somebody to Love, Live at Montreal, but also, White Queen, live at Odeon, Hammersmith and You Take My Breath Away, live at Hyde Park. Freddie was/is my favorite vocalist of all time and he nails every performance and wows the crowd every time.

[@sherryheim5504]

@@RonaldSimkin I have heard Dimash plenty of times, and he is impressive but he has technology on his side so I still give the crown to Freddie. Queen recorded on 8, 16 and 24 track analog tape, as did Elvis, Roy Orbison, Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, Elton John, The Beatles and the rest of the great singers from those years. I have seen Freddie live, nobody comes close to him in sheer vocal talent. Dimash is worthy of your praise but Freddie is still the legend and for good reasons.

[@barbaramendoza2202]

@@nyrockchicxx Yes, the images show all 4 Queen band members at the intro, but that was for purposes of recording the video. The very beginning intro was Freddie, multitracked, harmonizing with himself. This video is credited with being the first actual video done to promote a song. Back in their beginnings, managers had “contracts” with someone that they chose who did videos on the cheap! Often included snippets of old movies, cartoons, and perhaps some of the band. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️. Queen hired a Sports Camera crew directed by Bruce Gowers to do this video and the band had ideas how they wanted it filmed. Their publicity manager was very upset because it would be so expensive. It played on Englands “Top of the Pops” as Queen was touring elsewhere. Public demand kept the video playing for a few weeks, the record went to #1 for 9 weeks MTV WAS NOT BORN YET!! Queen kicked off the true Music Video, other bands began to follow! MTV was born a few years later. This song has been #1 in 3 different decades: After original release, after the movie Wayne’s World, and again recently after the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. 😊

This 1975 masterpiece composition is called a Rock Opera. Some other well known classics include: Pink Floyd "The Wall" The Who "Tommy" Meat Loaf "Bat out of hell" (he recently passed away...RIP) Most younger folks don't realize that they have heard QUEEN (or other classic rock artists/bands) before - in movies, playing on the radio in the background at the store or in the car, played at sporting events, etc. They just didn't know who the artist/band was or never knew the name of the song. QUEEN was so influential & each member of the band has written chart topping hit song(s), that are still heard around the world today. This is one awesome rabbit hole to explore & you won't be disappointed. My recommendations for more QUEEN reactions: Somebody to love (live version is best), We will rock you We are the champions Crazy little thing called love (my top favorite) Fat bottomed girls I want to break free Radio Ga Ga (Lady Gaga's favorite & where she got her stage name from) Many people will suggest checking out QUEEN @ LIVE AID. Yes, that was an awesome show (I watched when it first aired in 1985). They were on stage for about 25 mins. But if you want the full experience of them in concert then I highly recommend: Queen at Wembley Stadium 1986 - it's not censored like Live Aid was, due to it being on national TV & the artists had to be on their best behavior (no profanity/cursing or other things deemed unsuitable for TV viewing).

I'm sorry for your loss. You're not a Debbie Downer, it's great that you can take from their work and apply it to your life personally. I think that's the whole point of music, is to convey common ground, and share thought/emotion. So, if it evokes emotion, and thought then that doesn't make you a downer at all, you connected with it. I think this song feels inspirational, heavy and uplifting all at once for many people, if you haven't seen the film Bohemian Rhapsody, I highly recommend it. It will give you a better idea of what was happening in the world and in the group and singer's lives at the time this song was written. Thank you for your video.

There's just something so magical in watching young people discover Queen and Freddie for the first time 😢

[@carlajimenez5483]

Welcome to Queen!! Piano is Freddie Mercury, Brian May guitar and vocals, Roger Taylor drums and vocals, John Deacon Bass and some vocals.

[@Quoteunquot3]

RIP to your cousin, man. I'm sorry for your loss. Never apologize for mourning. I mourn my past that I had with everyone who are now gone everyday.

[@sherylhenley1931]

Loved your reaction! Welcome to the world of music that we grew up in~The 60's and 70's had some of the greatest music ever-the golden age of rock 'n roll. So proud of your willingness to broaden your musical education. You won't regret it!

[@kurtm1943]

from their first album through to the last. you can hear their skills expand and develop. Listen to their entire catalog. its incredible.

[@TheJobo860]

There was a festival in England a while ago and they played this song before the band came on, watch it because the crowd are wild at this song even before the band, they song every word, it's worth a watch x

[@annwyche5471]

It was a Green Day concert

[@markh.7650]

I watched it recently. It was an epic moment of humanity coming together in pure joy. Kudos to those people running the sound system for knowing the crowd and warming them up like only Queen could. The feeling of love coming off that crowd was palpable and I'm sure carried through to Green Day's performance.

[@vcat8136]

Rock Opera!!! Younger generations were introduced to it in the movie…Wayne’s World. Funny/stupid movie BUT the scene with them jamming to THIS song is awesome!!! 👍🏻😂❤️

[@jamesalexander5623]

Yes! then check out "Tommy" by T he Who ..... And "Jesus Christ Superstar" by Lloyd-Weber and Rice.

[@RoverWaters]

this song is not rock opera genre

[@jillbursell4114]

This falls into the area of rock opera and it is amazing. Freddy Mercury was a genius and very picky about putting this out in just the right way. In the movie he is asking the band members to do it over and over again at a higher key than I think they thought was possible. Beautiful piece of music and I never get tired of hearing it. their harmonies are perfection.

[@bettybaby63]

The intro is all Freddie harmonizing with himself. Live is pretty amazing too. Music can evoke so many emotions.

[@ArnteeDi]

Since the first time I heard this, 47years ago, it has moved me to the core.

[@girllovesmusic]

I remember the first time I really heard Bohemian Rhapsody. I was a kid when it came out and completely missed it then. Years later, it came on the radio as I was driving, late for an appointment. I was blown away and pulled off the road because I didn't want to miss a thing and I didn't want to have an accident. I really don't know how I'd missed it for so many years. If you've not seen Queen's Live Aid performance, it's definitely worth a watch. They are spectacular.

[@mikecheck7480]

Check out “Somebody to love” live in Montreal 1981. Prepare to have your mind blown!!!!

[@russelmurphy4868]

You have just been introduced to the genius of Queen, and of Freddie Mercury in particular.

[@russelmurphy4868]

I should add Freddie was the man who composed this, and did so without any help And Freddie had the most incredible range. If he had not died, he may well have become one of the great opera singers. In any case, he is regarded as one of YJE Greatest singers in the history of rock. He is definitely considered to be the greatest frontman in rock history. And considering the company he is in... that says a hell of a lot.

[@lilmiles4477]

you will see that everyone is recommending Somebody to Love Live in Montreal 81 its AMAZNG! without a doubt one of the best Queen live performances EVER and there are many. let me introduce you Freddie Mercury- lead vocals piano Dr. Brian May- guitar John Deacon- Bass and Roger Taylor Drums. what genre are the considered how to answer you cant classify Queen as you go you will see why and be surprised at songs you know that they made like we will rock you. so go forth and welcome to the QUEENDOM!!

[@loriswincher2426]

Like so many other young folks ... if you're just now discovering Freddie Mercury and Queen, welcome to real music. The 1970s were something behold. Rock and roll lives.

[@willow625]

Yes I’m one of those people that’s going to say “ I can’t believe you have never heard this song!” Queen the best band ever. They have some of the best songs ever and no one will ever be better than Freddy Mercury. He was so loved and missed terribly. I’m sorry about your cousin May he Rest In Peace ❤️

[@kathyhill9078]

One of the most authentic reaction videos I've seen. Thank you for appreciating the music of my youth!

[@captainpeacock4442]

Bought this single in 1975,it was a pretty weird record at the time and was at the top of the music charts for weeks and weeks.I was only 16 at the time but I had a huge crush on Freddie Mercury.Great days!.

[@firesong62]

I absolutely loved your reaction ❤️❤️ I'm a child of the sixties and when I see people find our music and it touches their soul the way it touched ours, it is such a happy feeling. Freddie was amazing and is very missed❤️

[@emilieraphael4431]

The beginning is Freddie harmonizing with himself! Its just amazing......

[@Tdub0911]

Freddie's one of a kind. This is one of the most epic rock songs of all time and always will be.

[@eliseintheattic9697]

I am very sorry for the loss of your cousin. It sounds like your grief is still very fresh. If you don't mind, a song and video I find comforting is Delta Rae, Dance in the Graveyard. This song is considered a part of the Rock Opera trend in the 1970s. This first part of the song is when he has just killed someone and believes his life is over and has regret and guilt, then he becomes frightened and wants to flee, then he becomes defiant and angry and at last he is resigned to his fate. It's an entire operatic tragedy in one song and it's brilliant and groundbreaking.

[@RoverWaters]

this song is not " considered a part of the Rock Opera trend in the 1970s" maybe you consider it and that is irrelevant... and wrong.

[@eliseintheattic9697]

@@RoverWaters Huh?

[@Tara_S125]

Guaranteed you have heard some of their songs, but you didn’t know it was Queen. Queen didn’t like to explain the lyrics to their songs and wanted the listener to be able to interpret them. Many people believe this song is about Freddie coming to terms with his sexuality and accepting who he truly was. When he says “I just killed a man” I believe he means that he killed the man he used to be, the straight man he’d been pretending to be. The man his parents wanted him to be. When he says “Mama didn’t mean to make you cry” because his family was religious and maybe he couldn’t be the son they wanted. “Goodbye everybody, I’ve got to go and leave you all behind and face the truth” In the middle section they sing “Bismillah will you let me go, no we will not let you go, let him go.” Bismillah is arabic for In the name of god. Then he says “So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.” In his zoroastrian religion, there was a time when people would be stoned to death and being gay would be a sin. The last lines “Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.” I believe is him giving permission to everyone to be their true self and love whoever they want because it doesn’t matter. “ Anyway the wind blows.” Listen to the lyrics again and see if you agree.

[@jennifergrammer2527]

good explanation.

[@kihntagious]

Thank you so much for that understanding. Beautifully interpreted. I had not known about Bismillah. I think you are right on about his look at his life and who he really was. Thanks again

[@jimithy47]

All the videos, documentaries, interviews before and after Freddie's death I've seen and the movie, eludes to what you explained. The lyrics 'I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all' was his personal demons of society (most anyway) not accepting someone being gay. And if I understood #TooBlunt correctly he said in question form the devil has a "sign" for me the line is 'has a devil put aside for me' - 'Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for meee'. If you haven't seen the movie I highly recommend it. Their record label had concerns about the song in and of itself (they didn't 'get it') but more specifically the length of the song being convinced radio stations would not play a song lasting six minutes. It turned out to be one of their most famous songs. Freddie also didn't consider himself very talented - specifically as a pianist. I don't think he could have been more wrong.

[@carolmegiveron4580]

If you like Queens Bohemian Rhapsody, you will love the Cappella group Pentatonix’s rendition. It took this group 5 years to get it perfect before they would perform Bohemian Rhapsody. They wanted to honor the group Queen. I hope you watch Pentatonix❤️

[@debmo62]

Thank you for this reaction! It's so great to see someone who actually appreciates so much of what's going on here - the transitions!!!!!! The voice (there will never be another Freddie Mercury)!!! The harmonies!! It's all so wonderfully original. Never been done before this and hasn't been done since!

[@ninatb932]

It's so fun watching you experience this song for the first time! Queen was an amazing band & has been a fav of mine for years. Thanks for making me smile today! 😊 I'm so very sorry to hear about your cousin! That's such an incredibly hard thing to have to go through. My thoughts & prayers are with you. ❤🙏

[@beldavius]

Fantastic reaction! If Freddie were alive, he would love you to switch teams 😆 🤣 The genre is "Queen"! They made their own music and defined their own genre. If you want to see their true effect check out any of their live performances. Good stuff man! Oh and RIP to your cousin..🙏

[@UConnNation12]

"This guy has a great voice" I love it! Freddie Mercury is okay. Freddie has one of the greatest voices in music history. There's more genres than just hip hop.

Hell I love your vibe. You really appreciate what you hear and you seem to feel the music and the lyrics. I like your style and how you review these songs. Especially Queen, as they were and are my forever band. Grew up with them and they mean so many things to me. Enjoy the journey.

[@geoffreytruman9198]

Personally feel they was the greatest rock band of all time. There are so many greats you should give a listen too.

[@beardedtalkchannel]

Your genuine reaction and instant love for the song made me smile ear from ear! Great reaction!! Definitely check out more Queen.

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Queen. You will learn that they don’t have a signature style. They are in a class of their own. And Freddie? He was the greatest front man in rock and roll history. There will never be another Freddie Mercury.

the mother of all songs. makes you feel good immediately when you hear the first few notes. and it NEVER gets old!

Welcome to the first step into the rabbit hole of Queen....you've heard them before but didn't realize it, commercials, t.v.shows, movies, sports...WE WILL ROCK YOU and WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS....if you've heard those songs, that was Queen....continue the journey, Queen fans will guide you..you won't regret the trip...Queen is Freddie Mercury-piano/vocals, Brian May-guitar/vocals, Roger Taylor-drums/vocals and John Deacon-bass/some back vocals...all wrote songs, they have the most diverse music that you can't just box them in one category....ENJOY

I'm so sorry about your cousin. May his memory be eternal. Great reaction! Watching reactions to this song always brings joy to my heart and tears to my eyes

[@iangirvan8141]

Great reaction. I'm not going to lie, I love the fact that you haven't heard this classic with Freddy's amazing vocals and one of my favorite guitarist Brian May (who btw has a PhD in astrophysics) because I get to relive hearing it for the first time. It also proves to me that good music spans generations and is timeless. I'm pretty sure once you start exploring Queen's catalog you will recognize some of the songs. Given your reaction to Queen I expect another band you will appreciate is Pink Floyd. If you want a musical trip and experience what is arguably one of the greatest guitar solos of all time check out Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb live performance in London from the 1994 Pulse tour. Enjoy!

[@TooBlunt]

Well you just made me excited so I’m definitely gonna checkout Pink Floyd asap
