Queen, Killer Queen & I'm In Love With My Car: My Honest Thoughts!

[@cristiona22]

As a crazy Roger fan I love this so much. I saw him play this Feb 2020 here in Australia. He’s still as incredible now as back then.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I believe it! His drumming is influential.

[@cristiona22]

@@JeffreyHackReacts he can still sing well too

[@valerielansford565]

Roger started playing drums at about 9 years old. He started off playing guitar/ ukulele and actually has a larger collection of classic /collectable guitars than Brian. Brian has actually borrowed guitars from Roger for certain song recordings. Roger started his first professional band at the age of 13, called The Bubblingover Boys, in Truro, Cornwall.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Wow! I would've never thought! Now I'm curious about Roger's guitar playing skills!

[@Terri6868]

The Bubblingover Boys was when he was 8, he played ukulele. His first semiprofessional band was The Reaction, which he joined when he was 15.

The incomparable Roger Taylor!! Ranked 8th best drummer on the planet. His voice is pure rock! What an amazing talent! Freddie turning around watching him is everything ❤️👑🔥🥁🎹🎤🎸

[@Anisabell2]

Is Queen the best band of all times or what??? All the band members were amazingly talented, individually, and as a band WOW, out of this universe and beyond!!! Roger absolutely nails the vocals and the drums, like it was nothing. And the others just supported him like they should, like they did for one another. They were a real band, raw, pure talent. No autotune in sight. Just talent. And when Roger forgot the lyrics of his own song, Freddie turned around and just smile at him, he was having fun. They all had so much fun in the live gigs, and that showed. The fans just adore them.

[@lollinelson5549]

These two songs go so great together. You should really watch the commentary by Brian May and Roger Taylor for this 1981 Montreal concert. First Freddie was laughing because it was time for Roger to work his ass off. And secondly, Roger forgot the words to his own song, which really cracked Freddie up!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

It happens to the best of us 😂

Don't you just love Queen and Freddie, timeless music, legend band. Nothing more beautiful than natural beauty.

[@yvrkid7070]

Have never heard or seen any evidence of Freddie crowd surfing at a concert. Don't think he would be into that. It wasn't a thing back then. I went to lots of concerts in the 70s and 80s and never saw anyone crowd surf until the 90s. Warren Zevon told a story of watching Queen play around 1974 when he was just a kid, then standing outside the venue door hoping to get an autograph. He said most bands would run for the limo and not sign any but Queen invited everyone standing outside to come in! He talked to all the band members and never forgot how kind they were. Queen was my favourite concert because you can tell that they love their fans and give 100% every night to them.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Exactly! You can see how much they care about their fans by watching their performance. I figured crowd surfing hadn't been a thing yet.

[@QueenRocks1128]

Saw them at Wembley ‘86. Beautiful performance. Met the band. Saw them with Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert. Have jammed with the band. Still in contact with Roger. Great friends. Wonderful people! Miss Freddie so much.

[@juliangreenwood528]

A few years ago I was walking down the street in London when I became aware of this guy with large hair coming towards my direction from the left,, and I started thinking that “ he looks like Brian May” when I realised there was a smaller guy walking at my side and realised Roger Taylor was next to me! As my brain started to process this I just asked “what are you guys doing here?” Roger explained they had just been to a meeting with their record label to discuss making a film about Freddie and Queen which became Bohemian Rhapsody. I expected them to get into a limo but Brian just jumped on a bus and Roger hailed a cab! I was stunned to meet them and was delighted with how grounded they were.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your story.

[@ben1ben]

If you are curious of what they were like outside of the stage, watch some interviews or watch their One Vision documentary. 8:00 I've listened to so much Roger Taylor, he doesn't sound like Steve Perry at all to my ears xD, If you want to hear Roger hitting his legendary Iconic angelic falsetto notes React to Queen In the Lap of the Gods Live at the Rainbow 1974 thats just godlike. If you want to see one of Brians best Guitar solos check out his very underrated solo song ''Resurrection''. I really Love Roger, he was something else, one of my favorite Drummers. His perfect time keeping and Background singing on Drums, So Great. If you want to see one of Rogers best Drumming check out Now I'm Here live at Wembley. There is so much greatness with Queen. Great reaction.

[@leonarae8496]

Roger’s falsetto at the Rainbow is unbelievable! I’d love to see more reactors watching it, and then the Hammersmith revisited version, both as good as the other for different reasons

[@kendallneason3645]

[@sherryheim5504]

This is such a great set. Just outstanding on both songs and the guitar licks knock me out. Roger smashes the drums while singing and John is the backbone in Killer Queen. Freddie...he is so outstanding in Killer Queen every time.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

The guitar licks are amazing! The things Brian May is able to do on the guitar!

[@lillylee7658]

Such clever lyrics in Killer Queen, and such fun lyrics in I’m in Love with my car. Roger in his early 20’s when he wrote it, so they kind of fit his vibe then, and even though it was actually about one of their crew who absolutely loved his car. “Told my girl I had to forget her, rather buy me a new carburettor “. Love it. Queen often did medleys. A good one is Now I’m Here/Dragon Attack/Now I’m here reprise.

That’s one of my favorite Roger songs & he sounds like Rod Stewart. There is a medley you should do Tenement Funster, Flick of the wrist, Lilly of the valley. They flow together & there is a Roger song in there which is my favorite. Roger & Brian have fronted there own bands, but they both have said when you have Fred in the band you let him go. Rogers band THE CROSS, Brian’s THE BRIAN MAY BAND. You should check them out to. 👑👑👑🥁

Ha no this is before crowd surfing. Love how they always did medleys. I’ve gone to a good number of shows over the years & I can’t recall any other group/singer due a medley of their songs in that way. Killer queen is an incredibly difficult vocal & Roger’s drumming is amazing. Watching him certainly makes me appreciate the talent he possess. They used to do death on 2 legs/killer queen/I’m in love with my car. Amazing.

KILLER QUEEN is the perfect song!! I love how Freddie swoops onto the piano bench like a giant eagle!! Well you gotta remember Queen is very annoyed by this time with the production director cuz production wanted the audience to behave (so to speak).

Freddie Mercury, the most charismatic front man, an incredible song writer and pianist, with a vocal range of 4 octaves and a vibrato of 7.04Hz. He was an amazing talent, and super sexy to boot. The drummer is Roger Taylor, he has a degree in biology as well as being one of the best drummers ever, in the vein of Ginger Baker. Dr Brian May lead guitar, and astrophysicist who has worked with NASA when he’s not making music, and John Deacon bassist extraordinaire, with a degree in Electrical Engineering. 4 highly intelligent and talented men, who have all written songs that became hits. You won’t find too many bands with those credentials.
