Queen - No One But You (Only the Good Die Young) REACTION

[@susanengland3919]

The song is beautiful but heartbreaking. I've watched it dozens of times and still cry from start to finish.

[@deboraclark5791]

It's a beautiful song about a very special man. There'll never be another Freddie Mercury and no one can sing Queen music in the beautiful way he did.

[@sherryheim5504]

Even though this song came out long after Freddie has passed, Brian wrote it much closer to losing him. Brian gave a tape of the song to Roger to listen to and Roger put it in a drawer and forgot about it. When he did come across it, it was not long after their friend Versache and Princess Diana had also passed. Roger called Brian and told him that he had listened to the song and though that they should do the song as Queen. It is so obvious in this video how difficult this was for all of them but particularly Brian and John, Roger being a bit more stoic. John is nearly paralyzed and there are a few points where Brian looks like he is going to cry. The glass of Champagne was a nod to Freddie who would toast to the audience with Champagne at live performances. Beutiful song, but heart wrenching as well.

This is not a tribute song, this is saying goodbye

[@TenCapQuesada]

If you see "Save Me" from Montreal, you'll see Brian playing piano as well as guitar. Totally awesome.

[@gb44rochs]

One of my favorites!

[@GinMae]

Yes - Brian could play pretty much anything.. and I love his transition (playing piano with guitar in his lap!...) what a great show ... !

[@minipoppy64]

Love this tribute to Freddie....... as a woman and a huge Queen fan tho it has me crying like a baby every time 😢

[@26shedan]

Love this song, so glad you reacted to it. You cut the video off too soon though.....

[@gb44rochs]

yes they did!

[@brigidsingleton1596]

😢😢😢😢

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

Sometimes you have to watch to the very end even after the music stops. You missed the goodbye, the door close, and the focus on Freddie's champagne flute on the piano, next to his aviator sunglasses. And the moth that fluttered on set. This was a song of love, and saying Goodbye to their dear friend.

[@lyna4873]

Check out Roger Taylor's tribute song for Freddie called Old Friends done with his solo band.

[@hkynuts11]

After this song was released, John never played with Queen again.

[@dianecourtney2724]

This song still makes me cry after all these years 😔

[@joyceharkin3641]

It took a number of years after Freddie's death for them to record this and you can see it was still very difficult for them. John particularly looks utterly broken.

[@RoverWaters]

lol

[@joyceharkin3641]

@@RoverWaters I'm not seeing what you think is funny 😠 Is there something wrong with you?

[@humphr1d]

Both Brian and John dealt with depression after Freddie’s death. Brian sought out treatment and several of the songs on his first solo album dealt with his working through his depression. John instead chose to ultimately retire from music after Freddie’s death. As a Queen fan, I miss John but understand his decision and wish him happiness in life. There is a great tribute song Roger did as a solo artist called “Old Friends”. I don’t think there is an official video, I might be wrong, but “Old Friends” is great and worth the listen.

[@joyceharkin3641]

@@humphr1d Thanks for the tip about "Old Friends" I'll be sure to listen.

[@chiaradigiorgio1821]

I don’t like someone else sing Freddie’s songs . Freddie was special and still is . He is mesmerising. RIP FREDDIE ❤️❤️ . It’s so sad this song 😢😢

[@clawfinger1970]

Final video seeing John Deacon

[@GinMae]

Thanks, guys.. Brian was a great writer, singer, and even pianist on this.. and Roger on vocals so unique - either of those guys could have fronted their own bands.. but the connection with Freddie and John made something that was "greater than the sum of their parts..."... appreciate your reaction...

[@andrewvalentine6977]

I've noticed that I tend to like sad songs, which why I love this. Also Queen's saddest songs, How Wants to Live Forever and Too Much Love Will Kill You are my all time favourite songs.

[@jo_jolambrini6775]

Great reaction. Here's the sentiments in this song. At the beginning you see the graphic of an Angel/Cherub which was Freddie's drawings, which they displayed throughout the song, along with his books on the piano. Secondly, Brian was playing Freddie's piano and played with his "pinky" as Freddie did and thirdly at the end they left a glass of Freddie's favourite champagne on his piano for him, sad sad song. You can visibly see how upset John is and he only did this song and a few other appearances with Queen after losing Freddie.

[@davidjohnstone7665]

All four are legendary,Freddie was the greatest frontman ever , but he was levitated above others with Brian, Rodger&John are really as much apart of Freddie’s success as is he is to them .

[@BarryOstle-o8z]

HI GUYS GREAT REACTION LOVE THIS GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME.

[@ellet6560]

The Icarus illustration is Freddie’s artwork. In Mythology, Icarus perished by “flying too close to the sun” (included in the lyrics).

[@Mikey-DiLo]

This song makes me cry every single time. These guys were brothers. Brian and Roger were touring with Adam Lambert up until a few years ago. Brian would sing Love of my Life and for the last verse Freddie would pop up on a screen (taken from the performance of this song at Wembley) and Freddie would sing the last verse with the audience. Never is a time that I’ve seen them perform this that Brian didn’t have to wipe his eyes at the end. To this day it is painful for both he and Roger. If you would have let the video play out you hear the door shut and the director tells Brian to take it easy. I’m assuming making the video really hit Brian hard.

[@humphr1d]

Brian and Roger toured with Adam Lambert this year. I saw them just last year in Baltimore.

[@Mikey-DiLo]

@humphr1d well darn I didn't know that!

[@JudeAussie]

Great to finally see a couple of reactors who actually know what they’re talking about. New sub here. ❤️🇦🇺

[@PattyLisk]

It was hard for the guys but John took Freddie’s death hardest of all . If you watch him in this video he was so broken . Thanks guys.

[@ellesee7079]

Maybe they didn't just do it for the fans, but did it for themselves too - how else does a musician express their feelings? John Deacon retired after this single, and although Brian May and John Taylor went on to perform as Queen, they have never released new music since this song under the bands name.

[@maryannkelley6808]

You guys should react to Queen's Thank God It's Christmas.

[@KrizzySummerz1]

They always called themselves Adam Lambert and Queen never just Queen when playing and touring 😊

[@LeroyBrown84]

Great reaction guys! 👑🥂

[@pennioltheten6018]

Each verse is from a Queen song. The line flying to sclose to the sun is planet Mercury. they did a tribute concet to Freddie back in 1992. . Just a couple weeks after freddie died. you should watch it. On youtube.

[@yvonnewakefield7748]

big big hit in Europe that song

[@Rocky-1957]

Just because its a tribute song you don't have to get emotional

[@BoringReviews]

True. No one has to. It depends on the person and their emotions in the moment

[@karenj3611]

Check out Thank God it’s Christmas

Funnily Paulo reminds me of Freddie - not his voice obviously but his total commitment, heart and soul, to whatever he is singing. Love him.

[@paulmaxey6377]

I get what Gabe is saying about tribute songs but I think it depends what the motive is behind the 'tribute'. If it is purely about remembering and doing a tribute to the person(s) it is about then I am ok with that. What I don't like is when all they are doing the tribute for is to make money or capitalise on the person(s) it was about, that is when I have a problem with it. As for the families and friends of the person, I suppose it depends on them as some will love that their family member or friend is still remembered and thought of so highly but others it can be painful. One person that comes to mind is the Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale whose biological father was the British actor Richard Beckinsale who tragically died of a massive heart attack at just 31 years old. Kate in interviews always used to say that she would watch his shows whenever they were on just to see him, and she said his shows would always be on at important times of her life. She said even when she gave birth to her first child, Porridge (a British sitcom starring Richard alongside Ronnie Barker) was playing on the telly in the hospital. A bit off subject but I thought on tributes it might be relevant lol.

Where are your beatles reactions?? Olease continue

[@rubydazzler]

It's so hard to watch, to see the pain etched in Brian;s face and eyes. And poor Deaky looks totally broken and as if he barely has strength to hold his bass. You missed the end with the glass of champers and a short convo with the producer though.

[@Canucklehead557]

Billy Joel had a song called Only the Good Die Young. Great song.

Van Halen had success with 2 vocalists

[@leighloutreedore8926]

I can't watch this without CRYING!!! How can two members of four member band, call themselves the BANDS name??? You're half a band. Could you imagine Paul and Ringo touring, doing no new songs BUT calling themselves the Beatles?
