Queen REACTION Stone Cold Crazy LIVE at the Rainbow

[@rianvandenhoof4124]

Inspiration for Metallica.....they even covered this song. I love Queen.....

[@nyima04011]

And won a Grammy with it!

[@ben1ben]

This song started Thrash Metal

[@deborahcornell171]

Believe me, guys. If you were a teenager in the early 70's, the way Queen looked at that time was the epitome of cool. Freddie in black satin and the white outfits at the Odeon Hammersmith (you did "White Queen" from that) & in the BoRhap video? Oh, yeah. Brian in flowy garments? Yep. We loved it. And actually I would've preferred Freddie's & Roger's hair even longer..like down to their cute little butts. So try not to be too amused. Millions of us loved the look & still do. And even though I love 80's Queen, I love 70's Queen maybe a bit more. They rocked harder then & were more experimental. And that's when the original first wave of fans and the world fell in love with them.💙 Btw, really hoping Stan watches the movie soon. Now that most of us are spending all our time at home maybe he can. I think you'll really enjoy it, Stan!💙Brian, keep reminding him. Also I suggest "Keep Yourself Alive" from that same Rainbow show. Great song & great energy.💙

I like early Queen better also, for the reasons you gave

"Down to their cute little butts" You have a way with words...love it

[@deborahcornell171]

@@marggie4129 Thank you! I like to write but sometimes blather on too long. As for their "cute little butts", I started to say "cute little asses" but my more ladylike tendencies kicked in. :)

[@McDuffington]

Have you guys checked out "March of the Black Queen" yet? Try the studio version from their second album Queen II

[@Hedgehog4real]

it's so weird to me that many still to this day consider Queen a glam-rock band))) it's also obvious that they were one, like in that early period. but then they became rock-n-roll, pop, funk, soul and everything in between. all in all, legends. a true fan of music knows that you can't put Queen in a box

[@imweakfordeaky]

Funny you mention Black Sabbath... Brian May is great friends with founding Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi... and they way they interact is just like life-long guy friends.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Brian has played some Black Sabbath songs.

[@catsara9114]

Freddie is singing those lyrics so fast, yet you can actually understand his words, amazing! I´m not even an English native speaker ...

[@heyjude1920]

This was from their third album. They went through a period where they all wore black and white. They were still living in small flats and riding the bus. Meanwhile, their manager, Norman Sheffield, was wearing expensive suits and had a new luxury car. That’s when they changed management to John Reid. Freddie was pissed, and wrote “Death on Two Legs”. Sheffield sued & settled out of court. If he hadn’t sued, it’s probable that nobody would have known that the song was about him. It’s the ultimate diss track. Highly recommend the lyric video! Here’s the link:kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaK5oZ5mpt2gnKM

[@GinMae]

Also -- "Flick of the Wrist" - similar theme - lesson: Don't mess with Freddie!

[@jeremykothe2847]

If I remember correctly, the first prints of the album actually had their manager's name as a dedication in brackets after the name of the song. So I think people would have figured it out :)

[@dirufanboy1971]

Ah yes, Stone Cold Crazy. Thrash Metal almost eight years before Thrash Metal was even a thing.

[@annej1934]

You should react to “ in the lap of the gods” from this same concert!

[@denisebartlome6972]

Queen were in recording studio and David Bowie walks in. They start talking about doing something together. John Deacon (bassist) starts playing a really cool riff. They all go out for pizza and a few beers. When they got back Deacon forgot the riff byt Roger Taylor (drummer) remembered it. They recorded Under Pressure. They never performed it together in concert but Bowie sang it with Annie Lennox at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. This is live at Wembley kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYfdp6KGhZuAa5I

[@cathytobias4722]

I love it, Freddie was such a beautiful ball of fire!!!🖤🎤🔥🔥🔥

[@karenj3611]

Haha, the show must go on. You have to make that your next Queen video reaction. The Show must go on was one if the last recordings Freddie did before he died.

[@marvalstith2749]

Hmmmmm. They always left the lane. Entertaining was Queen's goal . . . great music no matter the genre.. .This was fabulous!!! Being at The Rainbow, Queen Had Made It sirs!

[@Janetjrfan]

Queen definitely started out more of a metal sound but you can't put them into a slot cause they could do anything. Metallica is who you are probably thinking cause they remade this song.

[@dezperez1998]

Oh yes another queen genre...legendaries...so fast like freddie's rapping..

[@MargotRecabarren]

Queen is outstanding..., a critic said once: no matter if it’s about metal, progressive rock, pop, glam rock, hard rock, rhythm 'n blues, funk and disco, country, gospel and soul, and even music-hall and ragtime....., or any music styles... Queen could create and sing anything, in a Queen’s style. They created their own style, You can listen some harmonies... and you know it’s Queen singing ... with the incomparable Freddie’s voice..!!! And the studio version of any song, it’s really outstanding, if you hear it with earphones.., you can listen and enjoy all the beautiful details in the recording tape... and in a concert... Queen was AMAZING... full of energy.. full of rock... full of entertainment!!! With all respect... I don’t know other band which can do something like that.

[@elizabethhewins464]

Older Queen! In the final analysis, no one could remember who wrote it-so it is credited to all of them. It was on their 3rd album-Sheer Heart Attack. If you liked this one on the album, try Brian’s Stormtrooper in Stilettos, and tell me what it means!

[@DSBac]

Elizabeth Hewins I thought Brian said it was Freddie who originally presented the song. He was playing it slower and Brian came up with the tempo we now know. I believe Freddie had it laying around for awhile. Not so sure about the lyrics though. But maybe I’m misremembering some of that.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Freddie originally wrote the song for his previous band around 1969, but the song had more of a blues riff in the beginning, they speeded it up.

[@randyinvegas405]

that was when they all decided to not credit any one writer and just make the band as writer so they all got the royalties as equals

[@elizabethhewins464]

@@randyinvegas405 nope-this was written in the early 1970’s and released in 1974. They didn’t start crediting songs to the band until the mid-80’s.

[@Dexter-535]

Great reaction, try keep yourself alive live at montreal 1981.

[@jodiwood5311]

Queen thought they had “really made it” when they played The Rainbow. Their look was definitely “cool” back then as someone has already commented. This song, “Stone Cold Crazy” was actually played in the 60s by “Wreckage”, the band Freddie was with before Queen. This song (Sept. ‘74) preceded Killer Queen (Oct. ‘74) by just about a month, and Killer Queen was their first giant hit which charted high. This concert is in Nov. ‘74 so they were well on their way by the end of ‘74. Love watching you enjoy all this Queen! 👑 Please -> MORE! There’s so much more Queen!!!! And... The Doors, The Who, Neil Young and Eric Clapton!!!

[@mmaloneym]

Freddie wrote it I believe. Please react to Now I’m Here live at Wembley 1986 and the legendary 1985 Live Aid!!! Love you guys and enjoy watching you react to this mega talented group. You know they had a long list of firsts to their credit. 1. All 4 college educated. Brian has his PhD - his thesis was Interplanetary dust!! and John has a Masters in Engineering. Rogers degree was in Biology. Freddie graduated with a Graphic arts degree. He did the Queen logo and was an amazing artist and also designed some clothes. 2. Only band with all members having written a hit record. 3. First in making a “Short Film” ( Bohemian Rhapsody video) which contributed to MTV and VH1 starting their TV shows after seeing the impact that Queens video had. 4. First group to play live in stadiums. The other bands thought they were crazy to plan their 1986 Magic Tour all in huge stadium venues. Needless to say, they all sold out. 5. First group to ever play live behind the Iron Curtain(Budapest 1986), 6. First group to set a world record for attendance at a concert. Rock in Rio in Brazil had 250,000 paying fans attending 7. Freddie was the first rock singer to ever do a collaboration with an Opera Singer. It had never been done. I might have missed a few more which I’ll probably remember later- lol Their Live Aid performance is still listed as the best live Rock and Roll performance to date. They smoked every other group. Each group had a 17 minute slot to wow the crowd of 72,000 at Wembley and the 90,000 in Philadelphia along with the 1.4 million watching world wide during this important event to raise money for the starving people in Ethiopia.

First trash metal before the term was invented. I love Freddie's look, he looks like a sleek black panther, grrr. Thanks guys, take care of yourselves and your family.

Thanks for the memories gentlemen, I was there that night! Another band you may like to check out is Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, a much more blues orientated outfit then the later incarnation.

Could you react to “Miracle “ by Queen? I love this song, the words are very powerful, and the kids in the video are sooo good. Thank you for your reactions.

Most people don't realize that Queen played thrash metal before there was such a thing.

[@ferretmom66]

Glad you guys are still at it. We might get quarantined here in Ohio soon, we'll need you!

[@heyjude1920]

Regarding the movie. It was full of half truths and some downright lies. Some of them are explained in these 2 short videos. One that isn’t mentioned is that Freddie never fired John Reid from the back of a limousine. Reid left because his other client, Elton John, was feeling neglected. This video is from WatchMojo:kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJDOeYOhZap3bKs. This one is from Grunge:kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoKVfqmPerCnbac Please watch them. The movie was not a true documentary. It was a biopic that had to follow the Hollywood formula.

[@heyjude1920]

As far as other bands, anything from Journey would be great. The live show in Houston 1981 is fantastic! Revisiting my college years when I saw them live!

[@karenj3611]

This is real early Queen

[@1Moonchild]

So glad you reacted to this - rip-rockin' with impeccable vocals by Freddie. Keep 'em coming! If it's not Queen, then how about some Tedeschi Trucks Band? TTB & Friends live at Red Rocks - Sly Stone Medley: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZyml2Srp8t2mLc or, if you want some of those old blues - "I Pity the Fool": kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWLIl3eqiZyLm7c

[@GinMae]

yeah - see Freddie's "glitter glove"? remind you of anyone? Not my favorite of their "older" stuff - but still impressive and unique - Roger Taylor song, I believe - appreciate you reactions!

[@etc7070]

The only thing that hadn't changed from the '70s to the '80s is Brian May's hair.

[@dazzanomas9418]

A lot of Thrash bands from back in the 80's claim this song was the birth of thrash metal, now that is one hell of a fucking compliment.

[@kenholst3541]

Written in 1969 and first performed live in 1970 finally recorded in 1974

[@brak7865]

This song is on the same album as Killer Queen, so they didn’t change styles or sounds over the years - they changed all the time, even on the same album.

[@timprice5747]

This song had a huge influence on what would become Heavy metal. Metallica covered this, should check it out. This was just another great song from Queen, was different from anything else they were playing at the time.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

It wasn't completely different, there other songs such as Modern Times Rock 'n Roll, Ogre Battle, The Great King Rat, Son and Daughter.

[@bluebell3720]

Freddie wrote it and performed it with his previous band ibex in 69 He suggested it for the album,Brian changed the riff

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Awesome reaction, it is great how you guys are still reacting even if you are not together. This is noted as being the first thrash metal song. For a real Black Sabbath sounding Queen song check out Son and Daughter live at the Rainbow '74 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJfIgpymfd1mjsk. It is nice to see you guys reacting to early Queen, a lot of Queen fans love early and very late Queen. Queen never really stopped doing some heavy songs, they were just not chart toppers, for a very metal song from the 80's check out Gimme The Prize kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4u0homQgNd7aas.

[@Janetjrfan]

I see ya'll reacted to Lynyrd Skynyrd T is for Texas some time ago but I would love for you to do "Free Bird" live at the same concert in Knebworth 1976. A guitar solo that will blow your minds!

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

These is the normal speed. Want the crazy thrashing? Gotta listen to their 1977 Houston-summit concert. That the fastest version.

[@patgallagher6762]

Hi like watching your reactions to queen ,can you react to innuendo ,brilliant song I think it was one of the last songs Freddie sang before he died ,but vocally and instrumentally amazing ,lyrics are as relevant today as back then ,don't tbi k there's a live version so have to do official but worth the listen thanks ,stay safe from Liverpool UK

[@sandrabutler8483]

I'll drop you some more videos Brian,also you both asked about other people or groups,you could do The Beatles and John George and Paul solo work and then with Wings with Paul and Linda. I can send you groups you might not of heard of from the UK ELO,T-Rex,Wham,Slade,Sparks,Boy George both solo and with Culture Club,then you've got Dame Shirley Bassey,Sir Tom Jones,Sir Rod Stewart,Sir Elton John too name but a few

[@rugbyfan460]

Listen to some of Roger & Brian's solo stuff. Brian was definitely the rocker of the group, while Roger was more experimental.

[@GinMae]

I would almost say "opposite" - that Brian was more experimental and Roger more of a "rocker" - but then again - they did have an amazing connection - so who knows which is which.. and who is who?

[@timgove5337]
