Queen - I’m Going Slightly Mad (Official Video) | Reaction

[@theresarandall7448]

Freddie kept his sense of humor. I love how John, Brian and Roger rallied around and surrounded Freddie with love and affection

[@DianeSmith0946]

I love this video....Freddie is so Freddie. Love that Hank enjoyed it Dont you love all the different ways he comes up with to say he is going slightly mad? So cute!

Bellie ellish : I'm the weirdest singer Freddie mercury : hold my banana tree

[@hahatoldyouso]

One of my favourite Queen songs

[@hotspace1145]

This is my favourite Queen music video ever it just perfectly shows Freddie's sense of humour I just love and miss him, also when Brian, Roger and John all help protect Freddie ❤️ RIP Freddie Mercury 1946-1991 forever loved and missed ❤️

[@flyingcloud6776]

Yes, you are right, this song is different, sound wise, but I love it! It definitely grows over the time. It is one of the rare songs, where Freddie sang in baritone. Freddie was so very thin already. He was wearing clothes beneath the suit to cover it. Also the make up, wig and b/w covered it, so nobody really was aware what was going on. In his very last video (Those were the days of our lives) it was impossible to hide his illness, and it wasn‘t shown when he was still alive, to keep his health status private.

I love Freddie all the time, but I particularly like his smooth, deep voice in this one. and at the end where he speaks his lyric. "And there you have it". it's a clever, funny song.

[@melinakristinmercury9586]

This is both very sad and good, funny yes he sing abouth his side-effect of his medication he tooks, that he thinks driving he sligthley mad......I think of the 3 outhers, must have been so incredible sad for them, and ofcourse Freddie who all knew was come to happends 😢 this was in februar -91, thanks for your reaction.......love you 💕

Hi Sassy and Hank. Glad Hank gets to catch up and we get to enjoy again.

Awesome! The visuals look like something Tim Burton would love! They say that Elton John was in the gorilla suit. The idea of the song was Freddie's fear of developing aids related dementia. A little tidbit, alongside badgers, hedgehogs and foxes, penguins are among Brian's favorite animals, so he had a blast with them in the shooting of this video. Also, if you look at some photos of when Brian was younger, he wore a penguin pin on his lapel. I absolutely adore him! In the words of Charlie Chaplin, "life is a tragedy in close-up and a comedy on long-shot."

[@humbertofarias5980]

Well put Diana, Charlie Chaplin had it right. And if it really is Elton in that gorilla suit I think would be perfect. He wore so many customs in his career that wearing this one for his friend makes perfect sense.

[@leodurkin8539]

Funny you should say that, is that where he got the look for Edward scissor hands

[@celticpoet21]

@@leodurkin8539 Really? I was wondering which came first and who inspired whom, thanks.

[@leodurkin8539]

@@celticpoet21 no I didn’t say it did, I was wondering if that’s where burton got the inspiration for the look or vise versa, used to call him Freddie scissor hands when I first watched that video

[@celticpoet21]

@@leodurkin8539 Oh, sorry, I misinterpreted what you said. Yeah, I have been wondering that too. Same thing with John's Unicorn head as art of his costume for the "its a hard life" video and if it was inspired by Mozart's unicorn costume in the movie "Amadeus" or vice versa.

[@terryweir8352]

Hank is spot on, the Made in Heaven album is songs they put together,, songs on the album include. You Don't Fool Me, I Was Born to Love You, Too Much Love Will Kill You, A Winter's Tale, and Mother Love, that was the song Brian May sung the last verse in, Freddie had passed away and didn't finish the song!! 😀 😀 I have 8 Queen albums on CD myself!! 😀😀

[@debramoore7513]

Urban legend is that Elton John was in the gorilla suit. Does anybody know? Love your reaction and love this video. It’s great to see Brian, Roger, & John rally around Freddie!! RIP 💕

[@SassyOcampo]

Thanks for watching Debra 🤗

[@hippiejane2683]

Here’s a request. Heard A Kind of Magic live at Wembley the other day. Now it’s like an ear worm. Such a great performance. Think Hank would love it.

[@lala_sparkles8035]

If you do the live version of A Kind of Magic from Wembley (it's better than the recorded version, in my opinion), select the video from Saturday night. They recorded the concert on two nights, but it was dark & rainy on Friday. Saturday's weather was clear and was the concert they chose for the DVD. It also has giant balloons of the band that were released during this song, which didn't happen on Friday.

[@SassyOcampo]

Yes we have to do “A kind of Magic Live” I think he would like that one . Thanks 😊

[@trudehunnicutt8214]

Queen really didn't have a "sound", they did everything. You never knew what you were going to get with Queen, that's what made them so great. I love the instrumentals in this song, fits the whole vibe perfectly.

[@terryweir8352]

Hi Lovely Sassy, Innuendo was released in 1990, Made in Heaven was out in 1995, they shot this video in black and white to hide how ill Freddie was at the time one of my favourite Queen songs and videos, the Innuendo album went straight to number 1 in the album charts that year, as did the title track in the singles chart, PWR /UP is AC/DC 's 17th studio album, here's a list of all the other albums : TNT (1975), High Voltage (1976),Dirty Deeds (1976),Let there be Rock (1977),Powerage (1978), If you want Blood (1978), Highway to Hell (1979), Back in Black (1980), For Those About to Rock (1981), Flick of the Switch, (1983), Fly on the Wall (1985), Who made Who (1986), Blow up your Video (1988), The Razors Edge (1990) Balllbreaker (1995), Stiff Upper Lip (2000), Black Ice (2008), Rock or Bust (2014), and finally PWR /UP (2020), that's every studio album they've done!! 😀 😀 Stay safe lovely lady, you too Hank!! 😀😀

@@SassyOcampo You're very welcome, at the 2003 Rock n Roll Hall of Fame it was, Bon Scott's 2 nephews that accepted the induction on behalf of AC /DC, the band were there as well and it was Brian Johnson who introduced Bon's nephews to accept the award!! 😀 😀

[@antonballard9431]

I love you Classy Sassy and Mr Hank the tank

[@kathramsay1569]

If you look the first lights are marked like an X-ray machine. He suffered a lot. ❤️

[@glenmartin7978]

This Song was about Freddie's Fear of HIV induced Dementia, He was forgetting a lot of things because of his medications

[@hippiejane2683]

Light hearted but sad at the the same time. I think this was the last video he appeared in.

[@hotspace1145]

These are the days of our lives was the last video Freddie was in

[@leodurkin8539]

They had to go softer, couldn’t go full rock mode, to far gone for that, but Freddie smashed the songs still with them Freddie vocals despite how Ill he was.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Awesome reaction! Innuendo was the last album where Freddie was still alive, I personally see it as Queen's last album, and it is one of their best as well! You should play The Hitman kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYq2coeBr7-FhpI, from Innuendo for Hank, that song will surprise him!

[@SassyOcampo]

I definitely have to do “Hitman” with Hank . Thanks 😊
