QUEEN Got Me LIT! Queen- Don't Stop Me Now REACTION! LFR

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

The guitarist? That's Brian May - now Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist, photographer, conservationist, animal welfare spokesman, and all round cool dude.

[@gareththomas9806]

Lets not forget he built that guitar with his dad ;)

[@jeanettesmith765]

I'm still crushing on Brian May after all these years.

[@yoitsAndy1]

Personally, I think he's cooler than just cool: That man is a polar bear's toenail :P

[@squidwardshouse5431]

How in the christ has he not been knighted yet?

[@kalvin3691]

i heard he was math teacher if i didn't mishear it.

[@leonarae8496]

Before the drug Ecstacy was available, the word meant “An intense exaltation of mind and feelings, rapture, overpowering emotions of joy and adoration”. Floating around in ecstasy meant he loved life. This was the studio version of the song, they just made the video look like they’re singing live, so Freddie wasn’t really playing the piano one handed. A scientific study was done on the uplifting effects of music and this song was found to be the most effective at making you feel good.

[@fryke]

It still means that, btw. The drug's just named after that feeling. (You using past tense makes it sound like the real meaning of the word doesn't exist any longer.)

[@leonarae8496]

Patrick Armbruster Not my intention

[@fryke]

@@leonarae8496 I know, or thought so. I was just irritated for a moment, and had a vision of people actually thinking the original word was no longer in use when looking at this video and reading the comments in, say, 15 years. ;)

[@leonarae8496]

Patrick Armbruster I got the impression that LFR didn’t understand the word except in the context of a drug. When Freddie wrote this song, ecstasy as a drug was not yet developed. Would not be the first time I’ve wondered at people’s lack of understanding of basic vocabulary

[@fryke]

@@leonarae8496 Exactly.

[@Chris-kj7de]

Freddie's "Mr. Fahrenheit" references heat, like when the weather forecaster says "today's temperature will be 100 degrees Fahrenheit."

[@jakel9089]

Queen has a lot more hits than most people would expect, you've only just skimmed the surface!

[@karenj3611]

For sure

[@clementgordon]

Not even skimmed. You imagine a pallet full of different colours n this dude only just used a couple of colours.

[@mustuploadtoo7543]

not really. they never made a good album, their greatest hits albums sum up all their good stuff. there 80s period was garbage (only under pressure came out of it).

[@strahinjagov]

@@mustuploadtoo7543 lol what an absolute garbage take

[@hippiejane2683]

Trust me, you won’t be running out of Queen songs anytime soon.😊 And they are all great musicians. Brian May still has that hair except for the fact that it’s white now (he’s 73) and yes he’s way cool. Always get a kick out of the fact that the other 3 are looking like the rock stars they are but the bass player (John Deacon) is wearing a dad sweater. Check out Tie Your Mother Down sometime. You’ll love it!

[@melinakristinmercury9586]

Jane Sand-Will haha yeah here he looks that he have get his clouth from his grandfather 🙃 but Freddie learn him to use more modern clouth. John was very devoted to Freddie, John lost his father when he was little so Freddie was as a big brother or nearly a father to him. Freddie was 5 years older, that not so much, but enouth for John. Freddie had a very strong personality to, John have said « when I met Freddie I learn to relax, and talk a little. If Freddie dont was where I was I nearly dont say anything at all» the streangest are that Roger in an interview said that John was like a sykopath 🥺 my God, I should like to now why he said that 😳

[@deborahallen3318]

Oh! Right! I forget about Tie your Mother Down! Excellent 😊

[@whoaman8616]

Freddie was literally a human metronome. That has everything to do with a tight sound. Queen's music is mathematically precise. They are the greatest ensemble ever assembled in music. The world is better because of Queen.

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

No there was no ecstasy back then. He just means a state of feeling really good..Have you seen the movie Bohemian Rhapsody?

[@HavocHounds1988]

Such a good movie. Sad at times, but really good. The casting was spot on.

[@TJ-sz8bm]

There definitely was ecstasy back then. It's not a new drug. Look into it.

[@1031irishqueen]

Actually, there was the drug MDA, which was the precursor to Ecstasy...

[@cheriev3768]

Being in ecstasy can just mean that you’re doing really great, super happy.

[@cheriev3768]

Queen even created hits after Freddie died, with small clips that he sang individually. At the end of his life, he asked the band to write any lines for him and he would sing them so they could create a song with it after he was gone. He never heard some of the finished products.

[@1031irishqueen]

Queen wrote all their own songs...in fact, all the members each had 3 gold records...multi talented gentlemen...

[@blackjackbarron5315]

"If he's not cool, I don't know what cool is" - hell yeah. Spit that truth.

[@katherinegibson8791]

They didn't expect this to be a hit. They just wanted to write an upbeat love song

[@junglebrov]

This audio is the studio version of Don't Stop Me Now. This is the official video. It is not a live performance. Nice reaction vid to an amazing song. Thank you.

[@JosephHuntelvisnspiders]

He's talking to you, he first talked to me in 1976 :)

[@mollyprice1485]

I think the drummer, Roger Taylor, is one of the most underrated singers of all time. Brian and John are also GREAT singers, but Roger makes it sound like a whole choir and he’s got incredible range.

[@sheryljohnson5906]

You're right about Roger's range,but it was nothing compared to Freddie's. Also,John always swore he couldn't sing,the way Freddie thought he was only a mediocre pianist. The man was a genius that few can follow,either as frontman,pianist and songwriter extraordinaire! All 4 were top selling writers with top hits to thier name. John was the 1 always coming out with surprise hits.

[@fluantadventures1050]

he loved hes fans more than he loved him self .

[@ittamandarano289]

Voted the happiest song of all time in some kind of poll

[@mariafranco7562]

This is my all time favorite Queen song!!! My number 1 Queen song! Love it!

[@83greent]

Man your reactions are always great. You have to do official video for “another one bites the dust” next. It’s just a stone cold iconic song. You prob already know it but the hook is legendary.

[@bankbarcomo806]

This is one of my top 2 Queen songs, and Queen is my favorite band of all time.

[@JaneRtn]

Loved your enthusiasm ... definitely a crank it up just before you go out or in the car . 🔥reaction . What is it with you and Fred sweating or not lol.... he obviously was royalty as my grandma used to tell me “horses sweat, gentlemen perspire and royalty and ladies merely glow”!!! 😂😂😂

[@donnalong402]

Ladies in the Southern United States "don't sweat, we glisten."

[@deborahallen3318]

The cool 😎 guy playing the guitar, with the beautiful hair is now known as Dr. Brian May PhD, Astrophysicist. He completed his studies after Freddie passed. All four members of Queen are University graduates. John Deacon has a degree in Electrical Engineering, drummer Roger Taylor has a degree in Biology and studied to be a Dentist earlier in his life and last but not least, Freddie Mercury had a degree in Graphic Arts Design! Their talent runs very deep. I love your reaction and you're as cute as a button! 😁

[@pinkey943]

This song was voted the HAPPIEST SONG ON Earth!

[@michellemoss4635]

Freddie once said that mostly videos take the meaning of how you (the fan) interprets the song. Alot of their videos feature concert style performances. Check out "I Want it all" (wonder if you will recognize it!!)

[@jeanettesmith765]

No drug ecstasy. It's just about feeling magnificent! I would suggest not trying to analyze every line of lyric until you've listened to the entire song. Brian May still has that gorgeous long hair. He is a genius physicist also. Queen performed without worrying about how they looked or whether they sweated etc. Now it's all so shallow with videos concerned about looks more than talent, in my opinion.

[@JaFeelMeBro]

Closing your eyes while performing can help focus and relax you, so you don’t run out of breath

[@sannaolsson9106]

This wasn't live either lol. Like I said in a previous reaction of yours, they often made their videos look like they were live. There was no audience there and he was lipsyncing 👍🏼 This is such a fun song and one of the few Queen songs where the studio version is better. Imo they never really manage to make it as good live. This song is just about him living life 🥳😁

[@carolthomson9099]

Just an FYI Brian May the guitarist made that guitar from scratch with his dad he called it the 'red special'. This from Wikipedia ( yes I know wiki but it hasn't been edited) - The Red Special is the electric guitar designed and built by Queen's guitarist Brian May and his father, Harold, when Brian was a teenager in the early 1960s.[1][2] The Red Special is sometimes referred to as the Fireplace or the Old Lady by May and by others.[3] The name Red Special came from the reddish-brown colour the guitar attained after being stained and painted with numerous layers of Rustins Plastic Coating.[4] The name Fireplace is a reference to the fact that the wood used to make the neck came from a fireplace mantel.[2] and Brian still plays that guitar today.

[@mentaltalks6040]

His name is Brian May. He and his father bui.t his guitar when he was a teenager.

[@jadeperri5183]

... out of old radio parts and part of their fireplace!

[@jonanoII]

and Brian May actually uses a coin instead of a guitar pick to play... one of my favorite songs ever!!!

[@betseyclark2832]

You were right about Queen being influential with their videos. But it was Bohemian Rhapsody that made people realize the power of video and was actually the first of it's kind..the first 'artistic' video...basically was the reason MTV came into existence. They made some of the most entertaining videos ... A Kind of Magic, I Want to Break Free, It's a Hard Life, Breakthru, I'm Going Slightly Mad.

[@PaulWaldoff]

This song and "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO are two of the happiest songs you may ever listen to.

[@aletendre6760]

[@melissamason2387]

From this song a good progression would be Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, Tie Your Mother Down, Fat Bottom Girls, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, all fast paced and ' baby face ' Freddie, then Princes of the Universe just because it's a cool video with scenes from the film Highlander.

Guitar guy is Brian May. He IS cool. Still has the hair- although he's in his 70's now, so it's white. You should know, Queen was revived with first Paul Rogers (I wasn't a huge fan or that phase). But they now have Adam Lambert (an American Idol runner up), and the drummer (Roger Taylor) and guitarist brain May are still going

[@melinakristinmercury9586]

No Jojo Freddie dident used Exstasy, so far I now......if you whant to see him preform drunk it is on KZbin he singing BohRap drunk haha I think he was clever then too. In this song he again singing about himself, at that time in his life he was at gay-clubs every nigth and had a very heavy party life. I have had this song as ring-tone on my phone for many years very funny if I’m on a cafe or somthing ☎️ haha, this song has been wothed to the song you got in a good mood in, thats true, you cant get angry if you listen to this song, or start crying......

Mercury is the fluid used in thermometers to measure temperature, usually in degrees of fahrenheit. Freddie borrowed the name Mercury from the Roman deity. He is the god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, messages, communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; he also serves as the guide of souls to the underworld.

Ok sweetpwa-quick Queen rundown. Guitarist-now Dr Sir Brian May,one of a kind guitar-named the red special,was made by Brian and his father out of 200 yr old fireplace mantle,some stiff out of his Mum's sewing box,along with one of her knitting needles comprise guitar. Drummer is Roger Taylor-in Freddie's words,he could get to dog whistle pitch falsetto. He's the 1 doing all the Galleleo bits with Freddie. Then you have John Deacon,possibly the most under rated bass players I know of John was very shy,quiet and reserved and tried to stay out of the spotlight. Freddie took him under his wing as the new kid and as John said,Freddie was the only 1 who could draw him out of his shell. He became John's voice and shield on stage. That's why he refuses to play anymore and lives the life of a recluse.

[@TheBlackQueen]

These "Live" videos weren't new. That was actually the norm before Queen. It's not live, but instead a lip synced performance displayed as a music video. They actually popularised the more theatrical production-type music video in 1975 with Bohemian Rhapsody. Before then, just about every music video was like this; the band or artist performing on stage, sometimes with or without an audience, and playing to the studio recording. The thing about Bohemian Rhapsody was that it wasn't just a few takes of them performing and edited together. It was an entire concept of imagery edited to fit the music and be it's own production. I'd highly recommend watching that video. You did the live version but the video and studio version are MUSTS!

Freddy was partying heavily during this time. Brian May (the guitar player you liked) hated this song. It was his belief that this would have been the time Freddy acquired aids from all the partying in New York night clubs. This song was about Freddy finding himself in the night life.

[@gregjorda3080]

I think this song inspired alot of people to write their phone number on the bathroom wall

[@andrewwright9378]

It’s much more “lit” with it all joined up, you know.

[@carolrobson917]

I think this song is about when he came out bout being gay, he didn't have to pretended being somebody he wasn't. He had always covered up about being gay because he had Mary and she was his love of his life, they eventually broke of the engagement and he went mad, and had a wild time with wild sex parties took drugs and and went solo for a time this was the time when news about hiv was becoming known so it might have been about the time he caught aids. He eventually found a man to love and was with him until he died. He left most of his fortune to Mary because he always thought of her as his wife.
