@@allensaunders449 I agree. I like to talk about the analogy, "making music". Meaning being in unison, or something to that effect. Everything in perfect harmony... Because making music with other people, and everyone on time, isn't easy at all. What less, Queen. Rock Gods.

Brian May's guitar is a one of a kind hand-built masterpiece that Brian and his father built together when he was a teenager. It is known as the Red Special.

[@HarkenRoad]

And one of the amps featured here is the 'Deacy', a practice amp John Deacon cobbled together from a sub-1 watt radio circuit board salvaged from a trash dumpster. When pushed with a treble booster, and due to fortuitous circumstances (an early circuit design using germanium transistors that also happened to be mismatched, and somewhat undersized transformers that go into magnetic saturation) it creates those unique bell-like tones.

[@mikemclaughlin3306]

Gilmour, Santana, and Brian May...... the 3 tone gods

[@jmhaces]

I remember that back in the day it was also called "Fireplace" because the story went he and his father had used wood from their fireplace mantel to build it.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Hey brother Jamel, Did you know that Brian May (guitarist) has a PHD in Astro physics? It's true! and I must add he earned it for real, not some "honorary" degree. He is a freaking genius.

[@LordDiamonds]

All of them have a higher education degree if i remember right.

[@pamelainArizona]

I believe you are correct. I think Freddie's was in art or graphic design. He designed their logo. Everybit of it has meaning.

@@LordDiamonds Yes, Deacon was an electrical engineer (he designed and made the Amp that Queen used for their entire career. Its called the Deacky amp) and Roger was studying to be a dentist but switched to get a degree in Biology.

Freddie Mercury was a gift to humanity. You're quite correct, there will never be another Freddie Mercury, and we are the poorer for his death from HIV/AIDS. Of course, the reason that we're talking about Freddie is in part because Queen was such a killer band (no pun intended) and the songs they crafted stretched the boundaries of rock 'n roll as a genre. The songs could've been done by a mediocre band with a mediocre frontman...and we'd end up with music that most folks would shrug at. But Freddie wasn't mediocre, Queen wasn't mediocre, and the songs were NEVER mediocre. Thank goodness.

I want him to not react to the popular second night at Wembley The first night has far great performances but again he probably won't be able to make difference between the two

[@Bohica369]

Well, his operatic performances could be considered "music theater", a form of acting.

[@dusty3913]

Freddie was "acting" every time he got on stage. I mean, he was acting out his persona. He understood that you couldn't just stand there-no matter how good your voice is-you had to emote and give it everything.

Queen is legendary, of course - but probably not enough acclaim is given to their producer, Roy Thomas Baker, who helped to make their recordings so unusual and fabulous.

[@celticpoet21]

Fabulous classic! Its been a while! Queen just makes everything better! This song is from their third album, Sheer Heart attack and was what catapulted them into the public eye. The show this video was for "top of the pops" was for all up and coming artists and unfortunately, it was required for the band to mime/lip sync to a playback track. Even the drum symbols were fake. The experience must have been pure torture for them to have to mime and also a major insult to their artistic talent and professional integrity. They actually never played the entire song through when they sang it live, it was always part of a medley. They didn't sing it at live aid, but they sang it live at Montreal 1981, which went into "I'm in love with my car". While his stage presence was very dramatic or theatrical, he never pursued acting, he didn't have the patience for it.

You should listen to Queen's Innuendo as well, it may be even better than Bohemian Rhapsody

Very interesting fact. Guitarist Brian May has his doctorate in Astro Physics. So he is a certified rocket scientist!

Freddie graduated with a degree in Art and Design - and he and Roger kept a shop in Kensington Market where they sold clothes second hand and redesigned them to be high fashion of the day in the area. He always had an eye for fashion and worked on the look for a lot of their music videos. :)
