Queen is a Genre! Reaction to Queen "Innuendo"

[@thatsnice99]

This song is a masterpiece. Zero flaws.

[@clawfinger1970]

The flamenco guitar solo is played by Steve Howe of Yes

[@shauntoole1553]

In this video Freddie was drawn in the style of Leonardo da Vinci, Brian was in the style of Victorian etchings, Roger in the style of Jackson Pollock, and John in the style of Pablo Picasso. If I'm not mistaken, this was the most expensive music video ever produced at the time.

[@CoachCastTV]

Interesting. It was definitely artistic.

[@bletheringfool]

It also won an animation award too

[@deboraclark5791]

Actually the video fits the song. It depicts man's struggles, war, terrorism and also man's happiness. The Spanish guitar section shows a bit of history and a pyramid, which speaks of man's history of struggles that continues on and on. The operatic section tells us to be ourselves, encourage us to not be fake and be of courage. The last section and throughout the song is keep trying to be better people, don't give up, keep smiling and enjoy life because what will be will be. Thank you for the reaction. I love this song.

[@CoachCastTV]

It's a very good message. Thanks for watching!

[@majorlybad]

My favourite Queen song. The bit where it goes from the fast middle part and switches to the first verse again gives me goosebumps. Roger's best drumming, in my opinion.

[@deboraclark5791]

@@majorlybad yes, so many elements of this song is fantastic.

[@russwells1825]

I was anxious to hear your review on this one. Mrs. Coach's face....Interesting song. It took a few times of listening to really get into it. Queen's music did change throughout the years, but it is always unique and amazing. Have you guys done Princes of the Universe? The show must go on? Keep those Queen reactions coming. Boomer Sooner

[@CoachCastTV]

@@russwells1825 Haven't done those yet, but will keep in mind. The Queen content is in no danger of running out, that's for sure. 😅

[@wellingtonpereira9313]

From what I read somewhere, Freddie and Roger worked on the lyrics for Innuendo and Brian was responsible for the arrangements. Freddie, under the influence of the album he had recorded with Montserrat Caballé, decided that the song would have a Spanish sound. In the video, each member of the band was portrayed as a great painter of history. Freddie was Leonardo da Vinci, Roger was Jackson Pollock, Brian was a craftsman from the Victorian empire and John was Pablo Picasso. Perhaps this explains why his face in the video is shown as a colorful painting. As a suggestion, next time you could react to "My life has been saved".

[@LeroyBrown84]

Great recommendation! Unlike most of the hardcore fans I like the 1995 version the most 😊

[@gabyy556]

Freddie wrote all the music and half the lyrics with Roger.

[@iris67si]

Innuendo is mainly Freddie's song but credited to Queen. Freddie's voice is amazing, Brian's guitar work is brilliant and a flamenco part is Steve Howe's (from Yes) perfection. The message of the song is powerful and Innuendo is like a book cover of 👑 opus: Bohemian Rhapsody at the beginning and Innuendo at the end. It's a final epic masterpiece.

[@gabyy556]

@@iris67si Freddie wrote all the music, some of the lyrics were written by Freddie and Roger.

[@jjmilleniumblackshade3731]

@@gabyy556 not what I read many times. David Richards (producer) said that the song started as a jam between Brian, Roger and John, and Freddie likes what he hear and join the band. The lyric es very political, and that's something absolutely Roger. If you hear his solo material, he basically did many songs about political content, but Freddie always said that he hates that kind of lyric

[@gabyy556]

"Innuendo" began as a jam session in Switzerland amongst Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon in spring 1989. Freddie Mercury was upstairs and heard them playing the beat, and turned it into a song, creating the melody and starting off the lyrics. Innuendo (album) - Wikipedia

[@theresarandall7448]

❤❤Each band member represents a different style of art.John represented Picasso

[@CoachCastTV]

Ah, very cool.

[@davidr3446]

Freddie represented Leonardo Di Vinci Brian May represented Victorian Etchings Roger Taylor represented Jackson Pollock This idea was likely Freddie as he loved the Arts 😊

[@kentnottingham9635]

Steve Howe from Yes played the Spanish guitar on this. First guest star ever for queen

[@Dimmie1976]

Innuendo is one more masterpeace from Queen🤩

[@dropzone9639]

There are many layers to this song and video. Political, real and haunting. Freddie was very ill at this time, and recorded his part seated in the studio. The more you view this, the more uou will take away ftom it. Pure genius. Queen was ahead of the pack from the beginning. Be free Freddie...be free❤❤❤❤

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

" (Queen) will be anything it wants to be." - Let alone the wonderful musical changes , Freddie's brilliant here. I've never heard another singer that worked their voice like this. How he goes from one sound to another within the same sentence amazes and astonishes me. Freddie was one of a kind. And in so being, so was Queen.

[@almadani2483]

"Im going slightly mad" a song freddie wrote to explain how he feels about his sickness. Another dark song from the same album you need to check

[@CoachCastTV]

Oh, that sounds interesting.

[@The1queencollector]

He does look very ill in that video

[@itssoph99]

Innuendo is one of my favorites and in my opinion one of Queen’s best songs ever, the Bohemian Rhapsody of the 90s in a way. It changes a lot so it might take time to grow on you but at some point it does, and I think the video fits the message perfectly. At this point they were all sharing writing credits for the songs but it was written by Freddie & Roger. From the Innuendo album, one of my favorites too and Freddie’s very last album with Queen before he died, if you want to explore more from it; “The Show Must Go On”, “These Are The Days Of Our Lives” & “I’m Going Slightly Mad” all have great music videos you can check out along with the songs, though in all of these you can feel the sadness of Freddie’s last few months, they are must listens from Queen’s discography! Loved the reaction

[@The_Real_Fomsie]

Great song! Freddie was such an amazing talent.

[@bigdave1302]

No, Queen were an amazing talent. Freddie was not Queen!

[@bettybaby63]

As for the depictions of the band members. They decided to illustrate each of an a specific artist rendition. John picked Picasso.

[@betseyclark2832]

Freddie and Roger were mainly responsible for the lyrics. Brian wrote the rock sections. I think the video is marvelous. Just as in their lyrics, Queen loves to leave things in videos up to interpretation.

[@andreaspapadopoulos4730]

Great song! Speaking in innuendo is when you say something indirectly - often of a hurtful or sexual nature. Innuendo in Latin means "to point to" or "nod to." When you refer to something indirectly, you point at it without mentioning it, making an innuendo.

[@vinniedixon1140]

I'll keep saying this as I always do and always will. Queen are the most versatile and diverse band consisting of four genius musicians that did things their way and never played by the rules.

[@CoachCastTV]

The more we hear from them, the more we understand your statement. 👍

[@ederss7]

From the same album you've probably had several requests: The Show Must Go On.

[@nickwall2497]

The images of the band were portrayed as painting styles of different artist, Fred was drawn in the style of Leonardo da Vinci, Bri, in the style of Victorian etchings, Rog, in the style of Jackson Pollock, and John, in the style of Pablo Picasso

[@Canucklehead557]

I love this channel! LONG LIVE QUEEN!!

[@CoachCastTV]

We appreciate you!

[@iris67si]

Innuendo requires more than one time hearing and watching: More you listen to it, more layers and depths you discover and after that you are stunned, speechless and without a breath! 😮 One part is the music itself because there are multiple changes of tempo, instruments ... then there is the video - a masterpiece itself (it won a Monitor Award for Best Achievement in Music Videos) and has also a lot of changes and when you absorbe that, there is the lyrics with dark haunting life and death / God or Higher power questions but also parts filled with hope ... Mindblowing.

[@alexandrakeckmontanari5180]

Thank even as a Queen fan Iv had yet to hear this song love how Roger played the drums and Freddie's voice Thanks guys!

[@DukeEnlil]

Lyrics were written by Freddie and Roger!

[@gwyhad]

I was very young, I had started listening to music about two years ago and this song left me speechless, since this song I have been a Queen fan. Music has no limits, if you're as good as Queen. Howe played the Spanish guitar, they found him on a street in Switzerland. When the band asked him to add something like Paco de Lucía, he thought that he loved the song as it was, but maybe it would be a good idea to add that "De Lucía" part. When he started doing his job he got scared thinking that maybe he was destroying a wonderful song. In the end. Steve Howe always says that he's very, very proud of that part of the song. Freddie was very sick and that is the reason for the video. They use parts of videos from other albums and use 4 artists to characterize the band members. Freddie is Leonardo, Deacon is Picasso (I don't remember the others). I think the video won some awards. After the video, Freddie said that he didn't want it to end up as a cartoon and in the following videos he would appear in person, more or less characterized.

[@iris67si]

Yes, Freddie is drawn in a style of Leonardo da Vinci, John in a style of Pablo Picasso, Brian in a style of Victorian Etching and Roger in a style of Jackson Pollock.

[@CoachCastTV]

That's some very cool background info. Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelavery6390]

Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor wrote this but, credited to Queen .

[@iris67si]

There is a story how Steve Howe got to play at 👑 Innuendo: The band was in their recording studio in Montreaux, Switzerland recording the album in 1990, Steve Howe was in Geneva at that time and had a spontaneous ride to Montreux but didn't know Queen were at their studio. They knew and respected each other from 1971. Steve got to a restaurant for lunch where he was spotted by a tech who was a tech for Yes at the beginning but then adopted by Queen. He was surprised and excited to see Steve and invited him to visit the boys in a studio. After lunch Steve walked to the studio and found Freddie , Brian and Roger waiting for him. Steve said: "They were sitting there together. These guys were tight as a duck's arse. 🙃They said: Let us play you the album. I listened to I Can't Live With You, I'm Going Slightly Mad and they saved Innuendo till last. They played me the Innuendo and I was blown away. Then they dropped the bombshell: Do you want to play on the track? 😮 I was stunned and said that Brian has done a marvellous job. But Brian insisted: We want some crazy Spanish guitar flying around over the top! I've done some stuff there but on Spanish guitar I really don't improvise. Don't just sit on that thing, play right away across! ... So I chose one of three flamenco guitars they had and we doodled and noodled and I had thought that I've bitten more than I could chew! I had to learn some structure and I improvised... It took us a few hours. Then we went to dinner and when we got back we listened to that part and boys were amazed saying: That's great! That's what we wanted! 😮❤ ... and that was it. I drove back to Geneva and some days later I received their thank you letter and credits to the song!" ❤

[@CoachCastTV]

Wow, that's a fantastic story of how this came together.

[@iris67si]

​@@CoachCastTVmore I think about how it happened, more I believe that somehow it had to happen that way and it wasn't just a coincidence (almost the universe made it happen) ...

[@gabrielcaprav]

Thank you for sharing that story, man! Innuendo is one of my favorite Queen tracks but I never knew how the Steve Howe collaboration came about.

[@iris67si]

​​@@gabrielcaprav Steve Howe and members of Queen knew and admired each other from early 1971 when Queen supported Yes at Kingston Polytechnic gig. 😮 Steve said that later they were all running into each other at studios and socially too. He also said that he likes bands that have camaraderie and Queen were a great example of that. He thought of them being down to earth and never looking down on anybody. All different personalities but very much a self-contained band. They were like family. Steve himself is a very humble and down to earth man and exceptional guitarist. He was so proud that he was the only guitarist that ever played on the Queen song. He spoke about Brian and the boys with a lot of admiration. ❤️

[@greenogre22]

actually i find the video quite perfect to the song because as the lyrics approximately say „whilst our life is dictated by tradition, superstition and greed, the world goes slowly down through those humane struggles“. those struggles are clearly depicted in this cool video in my opinion.

[@maryadamec124]

Hey Mr. and Mrs. C., I really thought you would have loved this award-winning masterpiece... if you watch it again, I'm sure you will learn to appreciate the intricacies of its brilliance... Here is what Wikipedia had to say... "A very elaborate music video was created to accompany the single and released on 20 December 1990, combining stop motion animation with rotoscoping and featuring dolls in a detailed miniature cinema set. The band members only appear as illustrations and images, mainly taken from earlier Queen music videos (such as "The Miracle", "Scandal", "Breakthru", "The Invisible Man", "I Want It All", and clips from the then unreleased "Live at Wembley '1986"), on a cinema screen in the same manner as in the film Nineteen Eighty-Four, with Mercury drawn in the style of Leonardo da Vinci, May in the style of Victorian etchings, Taylor in the style of Jackson Pollock, and Deacon in the style of Pablo Picasso.[11] It also featured a montage of historical stock footages, including from both WWII and the Gulf War. The interlude of Flamenco music showed claymation figures of jesters performing, which were animated by Klaybow Films. The video received heavy rotation on MTV Europe[12] and won production company DoRo (who also produced the videos to all other singles from the Innuendo album) a Monitor Award for Best Achievement in Music Video." Some people refer to this song as the third masterpiece in the trilogy of masterpieces that are Queen... the first being "The March of the Black Queen", then "Bohemian Rhapsody" and then "Innuendo"... although I believe Brian's "The Prophet's Song" is the most underrated song and should be included in their great masterpieces in its own right... such brilliance in musical artistry is almost beyond comprehension... love and blessings to all.

[@CoachCastTV]

The acoustic guitar is played by Steve Howe. He is from the Progressive Group Yes. Another fine group with albums up to date. They had great albums from 71 to 80 except one that was a clunker. This track is going back to Prog. My mother loved it, but generally didn't like Prog music.

[@celticpoet21]

Phenomenal! This is considered Bohemian Rhapsody's younger sister and "March of the black Queen" is considered the Older sister. Not only is Queen a band of geniuses that transcend everything imaginable and stand the test of time, but of deep, creative thinkers that border on (if not totally delve into) philosophical! Its really interesting and clever how they decided on which artist or artistic style each member of the band was illustrated in homage to: Freddie in homage to Leonardo Da Vinci, Dr. Sir Brian after victorian etchings, John in homage to Picasso, and Roger after Jackson Pollock.

[@perpetualidiocy6622]

John's image is Picasso inspired, whilst Rog was Jackson Pollock, Freddie DaVinci and Bri was a Victorian etching (think i remembered that correctly lol)

[@DianeSmith0946]

this is their last studio album they recorded...together. It is quite a genius song, and the video is odd, but at this time, Freddie was done doing videos. I love that they are their own genre, it keeps them so interesting to me. A little something for everyone!! always love and appreciate your reactions!

[@dinobravo852]

Not true, he did three other videos after this one...the collage fitted the video better...

Dr May would like to have a conversation with you about time.. what other band has written a song about time relativity (and actually knew what they were talking about). Track is called 39!

[@lezlane1018]

The innuendo songs is definitely influenced by Led Zeppelin according to Roger. Brian asked Yes guitarist Steve Howe to guest on the track playing the wandering minstrel part ( Spanish guitar)

[@malcolmpeacock2484]

Hello Mr & Mrs Coach. May I remind you that Inuendo was made months before Freddie Mercury's death. So wasn't fit enough to appear in person for video. So this is why it's like this. I do agree with your view regarding John Deacons portrail on the video. This is song is like Bohemian Raphsody with regard it seems to be a mix up of songs rolled into one song. This is my insight about it.

[@soundofnellody262]

I love early Queen, I love late Queen (in fact Innuendo, Show must go on and Mother Love are all late Queen and imo great songs). But it is true. Even I as a die-hard fan have difficulties to like certain Queen songs. But it is only a handful that I cannot listen to at all. Since 1988 Queen is my passion.

[@anima6780]

Thank you for your reaction to this complex and incredible song ! Great lyrics ! If I remember correctly they received a prize for this creative video. Please have a listen to "I'm going slightly mad" (beautiful low notes in this one). It's about Freddie's inner feelings on the progression of his disease. The video might seem a little disconcerting as it has been made in a burlesque way but to me Freddie found a clever way to express himself about what he was going through. But it's not self-pity at all and Brian said Freddie was brave and never complained about his health condition. Always a pleasure for me to see your videos !😃

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks for that suggestion. We do want to get to that one when we can. The backstory has us intrigued. Appreciate your kind words!

Hello guys, first time commenting on your channel, hope all is going well there! Innuendo was the last work the whole group recorded together. As for the video, I recall hearing in some interviews with Peter Freestone (Freddie's personal assistant) that Freddie did not want to be remembered with a last video as a sort of puppet or animation, so then they recorded the very last and emotional one "These are the days of our lives" which was the very last one, and as a farewell with one last message to Queen fans at the end of it. Also, another very powerful song on this very same album is "The Show Must go on" I think that one has the most powerful vocals from Freddie. May I suggest a song Coach will also probably like, "Princes of the Universe", you need to check that one out, Brian is not using his usual Red Special on that one. Much love from Spain!

To me, Innuendo is one of those songs that grow on you the more you listen to it. Complex for sure. I have another song for you and Mrs Coach (as if you need it) ... if you want to hear just how great Freddie Mercury is live, check out Rock in Rio Blues (live). Definitely not your typical Queen song, it was written just for the fans at the Rock in Rio concert. Freddie's vocals are amazing! You'll wish you got to see him perform live after hearing this one!

[@_Tim115]

Queen number ones in UK where Bohemian Rhapsody ( Nov 1975) then Under Pressure (Nov 1981) followed by Innuendo ( Jan 1991) then Bohemian Rhapsody (Jan 1991). Face It Alone released in 2022 was the most downloaded song in the world for five days in a row and topped the iTunes download charts in 21 countries and number one on the UK Official Vinyl Singles Chart on 25 November 2022. The music for Innuendo was written by Freddie the lyrics were written by Freddie and Roger. The song started as a jam session in Switzerland amongst Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon in spring 1989. Freddie Mercury was upstairs and heard them playing the beat, and turned it into a song, creating the melody and starting off the lyrics. The song was credited to all the band as all the music on the Miracle album was. Freddie'a health was failing him by the time the was released hence the video style. Personally I think it's a masterpiece.

[@janettesinclair6279]

The first time I heard this I didn't like it at all and planned never to listen to it again! Yet, the more I listen, the more powerful it has become. The characters are all designed after famous artists' work, and John, I believe, is designed in the style of Picasso. Persevere with it!

[@CoachCastTV]

Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words. We will certainly need to do the first part of the trifecta soon.

[@NativC2ndChannel]

Looking at mrs coach's face at the beggining reminded me being 11 again. hearing this song for the first time felt eary ( i cant spell this word meaning wired or creepy), and I decided to take 3 days off of it just to calm my ear down and get back to it. Then I fell inlove with it and couldn't realise why in the first place I wasn't. So I get her very much. You guys put too much emphasis on the vids. this vid was done this way because of Freddie's illness. they had to decide what vids they would trouble fred with and which one they would do some art. and so this was ground bracking at the time of it's creation and won the golden vid or golden camera at the time for this interesting artsy thing. To me the theatre with puppets is the only thing that matters in the vid. it is a simble of how we are all puppets in the theatre just being "dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion" "While we live according to race, colour or creed While we rule by blind madness and pure greed" So that's it. the rest is nice art made for the Innuendo album that is very interesting if you will ever see it's cover, and the different art on the boys to me may represent the art of different artinst. John is lucky coz he got the great Picasso, so I don´t know why one would complain about it. so I guess one is maybe matis, one is van gough and so on. Art was alsways part of Queen. Freddie created the famous emblem with the eagle and the band´s 4 different signs, he was an art major. They had a beautigul painted cover in 1977 news of the world. which you guys can see animated if you ever do the official video of äll dead all dead", and they had art on the 1982 cover, 1986 magic had them charicturated.. so art and Queen go hand in hand together. By the way I don't think you guys did "save me", it is the best lookin Queen video ever. So in case you read me again, would you do me the honnor of recting to it? It is also an amazing song. This album was released in February 1991, as you guys know freddie died november 24th 1991 so this and the "Greatest Hits 2" are the last Queen album to be released on the time he was still alive. On this album he aprears on 3 videos, Headlong that I think was taken still in 1990. I'm going slightly mad, taken I think in Fevruary 1991 and the last fred vid which you guys recently did, The days of our lives that was taken in May 1991. The show must go on clip also has snipits of shows and clips from the 80's up to 1991. To me this song is the late equivilant ot Bohemian Rhapsody. It is also over 6 minutes, it is made of different parts, going through different moods, and is also pretty comlex. so I think these are the 2 mega songs done in 2 seperate eras. You sharp ears people can also hear how clean freddie's voice is by the time he recorded Innuendo. Very clean and easily get's to the highest notes of his voice. there are several reasons for this but interestingly enough freddie stopped smoking in early 1987. and I think the clearness of his voice in this album recorded in 1990 reflects that. The End of time note is an increddible Eb high tone, one of the highest tones ever sung by a male artist, arguably the highst tone Freddie was capable of in regular voice. And he does is so effortlesly.. it is an increddible peice and really, take less notice of the video and listen more to the song. If you listen to it 5-6 times you will feel incredible about it. The vid is just a vid.

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

P.S. The band are done from composites of earlier videos as Freddie was way too sick to be on camera at this late date. That was the way John looked in, oh, I think it was one of those "Magic" videos. My memory these days. Anyway, all those came from past videos.

Very good info. Thanks for sharing!

[@kuntumlaleanqueezer]

This……Masterpiece !!!

[@CarlosDG77]

You were kind of speechless there 😁 great and authentic reaction, as always, thanks!!!

[@CoachCastTV]

Sometimes Queen just makes you lack for words.

[@bletheringfool]

I remember when this album came out and I was a teenager in school, we'd been waiting for ever for a new Queen album and this one crashed the charts going to No. 1 right away

[@PeteG73]

I've enjoyed watching most of your reactions, but you are missing a big UK band.. Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac, the original lineup. Have read up on Peter Green & his life, BB King once said he wept when he heard PG play as he was the only white man to understand the Blues & put heart into it. Then please react to Fleetwood Mac's "Man of the World"... P.S. it was Peter Green (Greenbaum) that wrote Albatross!

[@nickwall2497]

Under Pressure was number 1 also here in the UK

[@peaceofiona9198]

Under Pressure also was number 1

#GabrielHenrique ❤❤ my suggestion for two reactions on youtube MY HEART YOU GO ON by Gabriel Henrique THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL by Gabriel Henrique

[@robertogallego7796]

Este fue el primer single del último álbum de Queen con Freddy vivo, cuando salió había bastantes rumores de la enfermedad que, por desgracia,eran cientos. También salió que Deacon no seguía con ellos por no salir en el vídeo,eso era falso. Hicieron una especie de collage con sus anteriores vídeos,cada uno con un tipo diferente de dibujo diferente ,Deacon está en modo cubista, Picasso,tan simple como eso,pero ahí estaba el rumor. La canción es bastante oscura pero muy bella, bastante arriesgada para ser el primer single pero ellos son así 😂, salieron más vídeos, canciones más luminosas,a pesar de que ves a Freddie peor, físicamente hablando, seguía desprendiendo energía positiva. Solo hay que ver los siguientes vídeos,I'm going a slightly mad y Headlong,son muy divertidos a pesar del momento. Cuando salió The show must go on,estaba claro que era el final y, el siguiente vídeo, creo que como primer mensaje desde su muerte,fue These are the days of our lives, una bella canción y un vídeo sin efectos de imagen, los cuatro,en blanco y negro,no sé, quien lo quiera ver que lo haga,no me extiendo más 😀🍻🎸❤️

This is some great information. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@keithwalton7922]

It was Rogers conception,this song is often quoted as being Queen's only protest song and Roger has a history in that department, you need to check his song"The unblinking eye" to appreciate what I mean.

Is This The World We Created?

[@Chucktsar54]

Amen to that people🙂

[@jacqueline23788]

who are these people?

[@iris67si]

From Innuendo album I strongly recommend listening to: I'm Going Slightly Mad, Headlong, All Gods People, These Are The Days Of Our Lives, Bijou, The Show Must Go On I like all the songs .... ❤ yes, even Delilah 😅 (I admire how Brian is making his Red Special MEOW 🙃 and how sweet Freddie sounds singing about his beloved CAT)

[@CoachCastTV]

🤣

[@mmaloneym]

If you want to hear Brian absolutely kill it on his guitar react to the lyric video called Bijou. It’s 90% guitar with Freddie only singing one verse. It’s simply amazing.

[@sherryheim5504]

This song is so complex and yet so throught provoking. Steve Howe (Yes Band) is playing the Spanish Guitar with Brian. The year the video came out it won the award for the most innovative video.

[@CoachCastTV]

It's definitely a creative video.

[@The1queencollector]

Early Queen, Late Queen, I love it all. A bit of history on this, it came about in a jam session when they got into the studio when Freddie was near the end of his life. A few years ago some Queen fans got to go and listen to the jam recordings after winning a competition, hopefully they will one day be released to the public.

[@CoachCastTV]

Wow, that was surely a big deal to those fans.

[@mmaloneym]

Freddie wrote that song. It was the title song on the last album Queen did while Freddie was alive. It was released in 1991, the same year he died. The video is different because Freddie was too ill to any videos. John was on holiday when they were doing the video so he was done like that. The person was incorrect that there were only 2 number 1 songs. I guess they forgot about Under Pressure!!

[@CoachCastTV]

Yeah, I guess they did, but that song is also fantastic. 👍

[@christophersmith7041]

Actually false information Queen had 6 No1 single hits in there home country United Kingdom 🇬🇧, also Queen greatest hits album is still today the best selling album ever in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, up to Freddie’s death Queen had 14 albums,I actually attended many Queen concerts during the 70s and 80s they in my opinion one of the best live bands ever, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@CoachCastTV]

Good info, thanks!

[@bluebell3720]

I wish they had Uk Bohemian rhapsody x 2 Under pressure Innuendo Technically these are the days of our lives 1991 only because it was double A side with Bo Rap When it was previously released independently it did not reach top ten 1991 all media only refered to Bo Rap as being no 1 not both

[@CarlosDG77]

I love how authentic your reactions are... just yesterday I was watching a reaction by a "music producer", who said he had never once in his life listened to "Bohemian Rhapsody"... It was so fake that I stopped watching... and went to your reaction to "Somebody to love" to clean my palate hahaha

[@CoachCastTV]

🤣 That's still one of our favorite videos. We obviously had heard some Queen music in earlier years but have discovered so much about them through having this channel and all the wonderfully informative comments.

[@iris67si]

😮😂❤❤ I totally agree.
