QUEEN "FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS" REACTION | Asia and BJ

[@PriestessOfNothing]

You said you didn't know Queen had so many hit songs, I'm a life-long fan and I never think about it, unless I'm looking at a "greatest hits" collection. Then it's crazy. I realize, watching these reaction videos, that I've taken it for granted all these years. It's such a joy to see y'all discovering this music! Like the gentleman before me, I think a reaction to "Bicycle Race" is in order, nobody's really done that song. Love you guys!

[@stevanvicm]

these two songs are connected... You have to look at them both...

[@rapsack7058]

Same here. It real fun to see all the young guys reacting on Queen songs. Its amazing when they recognice how many great songs queen had and how versatile they were.

[@Mauiman122]

I can proudly say I seen their concert and was at Live Aid (JFK Phila. but he was over at Wembley Stadium ) - so so many Great songs by Queen

[@numbersasaname2291]

Saw them in Cleveland in 1974! That was my first concert. It set the bar pretty high for all later concerts!

Check out Live Aid Wembley Stadium. For that day Freddie had the world wrapped around his finger. His health was failing him at that time. I am a Queen fan but not a fanatic but that performance was just simply the best!! Queen Live Aid you gotta see it!!

[@Motownmike73]

Freddie was one of the Best Rock Vocalist Ever!!! Queen was Awesome from the 70’s on till Freddie Mercury’s Tragic Death from AIDS😔

[@sherryheim5504]

If you don't think this song is fantastic, you must be from another planet. It is musically strong, the lyrics are great, Freddie is singing and the band is tight. Brian said he wrote this song for Freddie because Freddie liked ladies (and gentlemen) with a bit of junk in the trunk. All I know is that I love this song. The sister song to this one is Bicycle Race, written by Freddie when he was absolutely amazed when he looked out his hotel room window and saw the racers of the Tour de France speeding through the streets. If you haven't already, you really must react to Queen: Tie Your Mother Down. It is also kind of funny and a great song as well. This concert was at a stadium, but it was not a game, it was a Queen concert and they filled the entire stadium just like they always did. In their concerts in Rio, they had between 250,000 and 300,000 people attending each of their concerts. Japan had similar numbers and their Live in Hyde Park had at least 150,000 people in attendance, so Queen could really draw a crowd wherever they went.

[@alricaneshama]

I WISH I could have seen them live. Sadly, Freddie was gone before I was born. I absolutely LOVE QUEEN!

[@sadfaery]

My teenage nephews LOVE this song. I gave them one of my copies of Queen's Greatest Hits when I bought a second copy of it to listen to on a road trip a few years ago, and while they enjoy most of Queen's music, this one is their favorite Queen song. Probably because they're teenage boys and it's a song about butts, but still their favorite. I feel like this song is the 1970s precursor to the 1990s era song Baby's Got Back.

[@sharonallforloveandpositiv5497]

I saw Queen in '82 and they could rock it out with the best of them. Freddie was really fun to watch. He didn't care about anything but giving people the best show he could. On September 5th Freddie would have been 75. I don't think he would have changed a bit.

[@zotto92672]

I saw this tour and I can tell ya that the part that seemed like it was "a bit much" looked amazing from the back row nosebleed seats, that's where I was sitting. Freddy involved the entire audience.

[@vernhoke7730]

This song was released as a Double A-side single with "Bicycle Race" off the Jazz album. That album also had the "infamous" poster inside of dozens of nude women on bicycles. In fact the band shot a video, with said ladies, on bikes. When the company that supplied them found out how they were used, the band ended up having to pay to replace all of the seats. I saw them in 1982, along with Billy Squier, in Madison Square Garden.

[@Miobambino]

Queen were incredible! I’m a 70’s baby so love Queen. They’re unstoppable even after Freddie’s very sad demise. He’s a huge loss to British music. Greatest artist on the planet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❣️

[@idalily3810]

It makes me cry that I never got to see them in concert.

[@joannedarley1893]

Yes, I was there with my husband and it was an absolutely fantastic, brilliant and electrical concert. Freddie was his amazingly sexy and wonderful self, Brian with his breathtaking skill on the guitar and his harmonies, John and that heart thumping bass and Roger with his soaring harmonies and incredible drum beats. We had an incredible time, almost two hours of sheer heart pumping Heaven, 39 years ago but it still remains a vivid and wonderful memory.

[@paigemimms4343]

You two are so stinking cute!! Freddie was a force of nature and an example of this world catching lightening in a bottle. We who witnessed him perform in life are so, so glad that other people appreciate Queen. Thank you for your review!!

Seen Queen about 5 times in my life the best was 1982 tour sat in the front row watching Freddie was the best!!! He had a special way of performing his voice spectacular his interaction with the crowd made u feel like u were at a private performance. God Bless u Freddie much love we miss u

[@Alisha1686]

That look said " you celebrating a bit too much relax"🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love you guys channel. Glad I came across it

[@hifinsword]

I hope you will cover Queen's "These are the Days of our Lives". It was Freddie's last recorded singing performance. It's heartbreaking but true to Freddie's form, done well!

[@derrickmoite7125]

Loved QUEEN all of my life. I’ve seen three of their concerts. One might be able to argue that they were the first band to set the tone for so many things; First to write a real “dis” song (Death on Two Legs) First to write a song about “fat bottom girls” (before Sir Mix-a-lot, ‘I Like Big Butts’ and TCQ, ‘Bonita Applebaum’) First to pole dance on stage…? As we witnessed in the video. But seriously, their concerts lasted nearly 2 1/2 hours however, their GREATEST concert was only 28 minutes long in front of a jammed pack Wimbley Stadium in London, in front of the best artist crowding around backstage and televised all over the world - Live Aid 1985. Yet, the greatest compliment to the success of QUEEN was that the world greatest entertainer was their biggest fan, the one and only Michael Jackson. He inspired them to put ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ on the radio. And that song opened all the music genre doors the group. Watching QUEEN’S videos, listening to their music and watching your reactions brings tears of joy and excitement of my teenage years. I had a locker on the main hallway of my high school next to the band room. QUEEN’S album “News of the World” had just come out. Being a black teenager in an all black high school, not many of my schoolmates had heard of QUEEN. One morning I was blasting ’We will Rock You’ out of my locker. The band director came out of his and asked me what I was listening to. He took my tape and gave back to me at the end of the day. That Friday night at the football game, the band was playing and sing the song. Great band… Great memories….

[@frugalseverin2282]

My 2nd ever concert was in 1982 and had 4 bands, Queen was the headliner. It was the "Hot Space" tour, a more disco-flavored album that the fans weren't so happy with. Mercury was larger than life. The opening bands included Heart and Joan Jett.

[@NeverGiddy]

"Tie Your Mother Down", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "One Vision", "I Want It All", etc., you could do Queen songs for the next week. Stick with official videos if you can. The production quality recording is the way to go.

[@jayarr961]

There are exceptions to the above. Montreal 1981 Somebody to Love is a better watch than the video. Also their Live-Aid performance is well worth a watch.

[@NeverGiddy]

@@jayarr961 - The absence of high quality harmony vocals essential to the composition of the song are apparently not important to you.

[@jayarr961]

@@NeverGiddy I am a Queen fan. I saw them live twice. This performance shows the band the way they were meant to be seen kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3KVeoWlhat8pJI If you have not seen it give, it a watch. Some bands are only good in the studio. Queen was not one of those. Their albums were great, so were their live performances.

[@NeverGiddy]

@@jayarr961 - Thank you for the link. I've seen it before. Queen is a great band, but they are unable to reproduce the studio quality sound of the album. Since they recorded their songs in a studio, multi-tracked vocals and instruments, i choose to believe that the studio version of the song sounds they way they wanted it to sound. A band like Queen, with all of the layered vocals they use, cannot reproduce those elements of their songs live, so the live versions never reach the perfection of the studio version. If you want to hear the song the way Queen wanted you to hear it, listen to the studio version. If they wanted "Somebody to Love" to sound the way it did in Montreal, they could have recorded it that way in the studio. They didn't. Stick with the studio versions. That's what I recommended up top. The studio versions are the way Queen wanted their music to be heard. The only live performances I've ever heard that sounded as good as the studio versions were from Lynyrd Skynrd.

I saw Queen with Freddie four times but this was the only gig of those that was filmed. They were brilliant on this tour - heavy rock, funk, pop, they could do it all. They were so powerful live. Much as I love this performance you probably should have watched the official video first just to pick the words up better especially the first verse (which Freddie changed slightly in this version)

[@sandrabutler3752]

I've got a feeling this was written by Dr Brian May and Freddie wrote Bicycle Race, the group all played different instruments and wrote the songs, either together or separately, they all had number one records, and Dr Brian May ( astrophysicist) and Roger Taylor are still Queen, John Deacon left the group and public life in 1997

9:30 - not really. Queen performed this concert in the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, England as a part of their world tour back in 1982, leading them to three continents (Europe, Asia, North America) with a total of 56 concerts. Of course the arena was sold out as usual for Queen (65k people, I think). It has nothing to do with any bowl games. Plus, I don't think college arenas were big enough to crowd all the people in when Queen performed.
