Queen - We Will Rock You (Official Video) REACTION

[@tinaagerson6593]

That's why Brian wrote it that way he wanted to involve their fans in making the music

[@jamesdunphy1207]

Did you learn that from the bohemian rhapsody movie/documentary

[@franceshaas8255]

Rocks that it's your birthday. Thanks for more Queen.

[@tjerwin1]

I like when this song morphed into "we are the champions" what a great way to morph two awesome songs. Our school were undefeated in track and field so we had this song as our anthem. Freddie had an amazing voice and could sing just about anything.

[@jamiethevis7356]

I was listening to this song one day ny itself and my dad said they didn't play the whole song. He didn't realize it was two different songs.

[@kimlalajo]

@@jamiethevis7356 That is because it was a continuous track on the original album, and the radio stations used to play them together.

[@jamiethevis7356]

@@kimlalajo and in my opinion, the only way it should be heard.

[@kimlalajo]

@@jamiethevis7356 Yes, I agree 100%

Facts

[@moanman1776]

Classic. Iconic as Queen & Freddie himself. Eternal. It feels like THUNDER!

[@stewartmcdermott2179]

It's not Freddie and queen . It's queen .

[@anglosaxon5874]

"Spread Your Wings" was done at the same location/time as this. Another underrated Queen song!

[@juliagrant3299]

Love that song!!! Thanks for letting me remember it

[@turdferguson400]

That’s my fave Queen song. It was the first single I ever bought with my own money. 💖

[@GinMae]

Yes -- and Brian didn't use the "red special" b/c he was concerned about the cold weather/potential damage -- and also... a funny story that Freddie got so drunk that he ended up puking in Roger's hedges... lol

[@BillGraper]

This was an idea that I never would've come up with- a song with no instruments through most of it. No chords, just a beat & vocals. They were amazing!

[@allisonreed7682]

“You’re My Best Friend” is a really beautiful song by Queen and happens to be my favorite of theirs. A close second is “Killer Queen”. I hope you’ll check them out!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Happy Birthday again Jovaughn!! You looked VERY good in your photo, for sure! 💙❤️😘✌️

[@MusicLover-dt7ic]

In high school, when this came out, it was at event sport event. this and We Are The Champions was our senior class song. Class of 82 Rocks.

[@laurasarmas]

Love, love Queen. The best band ever!!!!!

[@pagemeredith4532]

This song is combined with there song We Are The Champions. In stadiums during games all across America all the time.

[@clairehamilton3195]

My favourite Queen song 🎵 💕 Queen were a band ahead of the times. There will never be another Freddie Mercury, the way he could command an audience was fandabadozie. 🎶🎵💛💛

[@kellyieda9712]

Another music like this is Radio Ga Ga ... everybody claps their hand with this song too.

[@Snakeman612]

The inspiration for the name Lady Gaga

[@PaintedCavern]

Radio used to always play We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions like one song in two parts, love it. ❤

[@BillGraper]

Yep! I know two stations in Cleveland who still do that. 👍

[@SoftKitteh]

The first time I heard this was as the B side of "We Are The Champions" - I still have that 45", I bought it when it was newly released, oh, several centuries ago! Nobody I knew ever listened to B sides, so I had to tell all my friends to listen to THIS one cos it was amazing.

[@donnawallace9938]

Queen was revolutionary! I lived through the Queen years in highschool. We knew how special it was.... it's great to see a new generation discovering this incredible band!

[@stephanietaylor6155]

What amazes me is that Queen will never go out of style. My 6 year old grandson knows this song. Everyone knows this beat and everyone follows along. Gives you chills!

[@yvonnewatkinson840]

I love how you love queen jv .one word no other in my 57 year old lifetime.

[@michaelasay6140]

Im 57 too! We're gettin old in this crazy world!

[@cw5451]

Huh? Did you miss a word or something in your comment because I can’t understand what you’re saying. I’m nearing 57 myself.

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

Brian May was the writer of this. He wanted an audience participation piece. He showed it to Freddie, He was like " What's the lyrics?"

[@grahamcheetham2146]

I Bet Freddie's shook heaven to the core, way to go Freddie,,,,

[@janes.1559]

Its stomp, stomp clap... to be technical. When at a concert or sports event, its perfection. And exactly what you said, everyone can do, even uncoordinated, rhythm less drunk guys. Queen is a universal, transcends race, politics, religion, everything.

[@mareile4216]

great memories of this song - two hits on the floor and then one hand clap. and later the air guitar came into play. 🤘

[@carolynshea8794]

Imagine my entire senior class banging on the lockers and belting this out. A fantastic memory.

[@rebeccawyse5562]

At high school games we played this and "we are the champions"

[@presterjohn9624]

There are hundreds of people doing reaction videos. You're also doing analysis videos: lyrically, emotionally, musically. Great job. Respect.

[@stewartsearle8288]

Radio Ga Ga is a great song by them, with a fantastic video inspired by the film Metropolis.

[@suem6004]

On the record this song continued into We are the Champions. We rocked the bleachers in middle school.

[@famijher]

Queen will always be great. RIP Freddie, we will always miss you.

[@CTqueenie]

So glad you're on a Queen kick! Fun fact: Composer of this brilliant anthem, Brian, put his scientific knowledge to good use here. He layered and echoed the claps and stomps to sound like a much bigger crowd. He used prime number multiples so no harmonics or echoes interfere with the effect. Boom; big, massive sound. Genius.

[@nmtb1972]

The only thing which pumps you up more than We will rock you, is We will rock you getting followed up by We are the champions, which they did on concerts.

[@MusicLover-dt7ic]

Hell yeah bring on the Queen, it never gets old.. Thanks. AKA Lowrider.

[@Whologin]

No one has reacted to Colin James a Canadian gem that started the Swing Dancing craze in the 90's. I think he had 5 chart toppers, but "voodoo thing" has huge, had a real Elvis vibe.

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

Great reaction Jay. I have a request Queen (killer Queen) I noticed it was not in your library. I think you’ll really like it it’s a great song.😀👍❤️✌️🌼

[@Cyssane]

Great suggestion, that's a banger of a song and I bet JV will love it.

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

@@Cyssane it’s my favorite Queen song and I love a lot of their songs.❤️✌️🌼

[@Cyssane]

@@marniethedyslexic6445 I know what you mean. I wouldn't say that Killer Queen is my favourite (because I wouldn't want to pick a favourite from such an iconic band who had a lot of amazing hits), but it's definitely in my top five.

[@paulsheedy4650]

Boom boom clap, boom boom clap. I think just about everybody knows this song. I've heard people singing along to it in supermarkets, me included.😁📀👍🎶❤️ PS. Happy birthday Jay.🎉🥂🎁

[@worldtraveler3773]

Check out Freddie Mercury's solo Exercises in free love. He recorded the demo tape for operatic soprano Montserrat Caballe SINGING HER PART.

[@libbysingscontrezzo8419]

This came out when I was in high school, and boy, did we make some noise at basketball games! This is supposed to segue right into We are The Champions.

[@sarahdixon1943]

Every time I hear this song right at the end I always expect to hear ... "I've paid my dues" ..immed. like it plays on the album.

[@Cyssane]

Yeah, for me it's a bit weird NOT hearing that segue. Probably for a lot of other people as well.

[@glennvane7426]

Such a good song. Written by Brian May & was a double A single with We Are The Champions in 1977. Both songs used in various sports.

[@GirlWithAnOpinion]

"...I've paid my dues...time after time..."

[@sallyhenderson2772]

Happy Birthday! Rocking out with some Queen is a great way to celebrate.🎈🎁🎂🥳

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

... that moment when Brian May starts to tickle those strings - WOW!!! A truly TIMELESS CLASSIC that will go on for infinity!

[@karenj3611]

One Queen song a day would be just what the doctor ordered.

[@laminage]

This has been the unofficial anthem for alot of Sports Events.

[@deesee3622]

For a long time I thought crowds came up with this lol

[@kellyschutte2252]

Yes! Right back to Friday night football games in high school!

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

My favorite part...Brian comes in with that guitar!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@danielkinn782]

That guitar just rips. They way he comes in is so solid.

[@abc456f]

It rivals the solo in Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". Down, dirty, and gritty.

[@YaMomsOyster]

Queen had many Hits in their Repertoire as already know. A fantastic Rock Band at the time. Freddy and the boys made Hits.

[@beachside1]

This video was actually filmed in Roger Taylors backyard. Another video was made in the same place. Its called Spread Your Wings. I think that is the most underrated song there is. Well I like it anway. You can tell it was actually outside. Roger is freezing and notice how Brian didnt use his Red Special guitar? Its his priced possession. He made the neck out of a fire place mantel and painted and stained it. I think him and his dad made it.

[@666blackcarbon9]

Iconic song in many ways💯💯💯

[@billiewhyers2823]

Queen wrote specifically for the crowd to get involved.

[@rosebud20]

When this was played In the clubs (especially when It became We Are The Champions) the place would erupt!! Brian May Was An Amazing Song Writer!

[@deborahdennehy9937]

I was 17 yrs old when this came out!! Incredible, they are the best ever!! xx

[@TheSchuyler75]

first day of kindergarten I got on the bus and everyone was stomping and singing this👍 i remember vividly!!👍🙏🦋🌞

[@TheSchuyler75]

1980

[@mikeharris3733]

This song is on the News of the World album. It's followed on the album by We Are The Champions. The songs were usually played back to back on the radio, so when you heard one you heard them both.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Awesome reaction. Queen first participation song was actually In The Lap Of The Gods Revisited. Check out I Want It All and Princes Of The Universe from Queen.

[@firestrike9917]

This song will pound in my head without it playing on anything. Lolz😂 That's why they play it at hockey games and basketball games gets the arenas jumping with that song.

[@zumbagirl6559]

Another classic in middle school for me! Basketball games, we played this and us cheerleaders would come out. The whole set of bleachers were clapping and stomping!! I have a new appreciation for Queen after seeing Bohemian Rhapsody! Great movie about his life!

[@vixybanker]

When I was in High School this song and “We Are The Champions” were one song on the album.

[@brooklynmysticaldiva4729]

Love that youre reacting to more Queen legendary music ! Excellent 👍

[@karpen042]

For the duration of this song every member of the audience is a member of the band Queen. It's beautiful.

[@dabohdsta]

Do you expect random people to be there

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

Its just past midnight here but I had to watch this another great song by Queen. Happy birthday Jayvee, I hope you are having a great day as you deserve it sweetheart. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love hugs and peace to everyone Mary-Ellen UK

[@lesleywarnock228]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Wishing you good health & many more!! This song was my first introduction to Queen followed by We Are The Champions. My older brother by 4 years had the album, I was hooked! Under Pressure is one of my all-time favourite 🖤🖤🖤

[@robquince3076]

Your spot on👍it's always been a live track for the people 🤘👏👏👏👏

[@primusfan87]

I remember in high school assembly they would play this song and everybody would stomp to the beat on the bleachers. Stomp stomp clap

[@susannechickenmom5621]

I absolutely love Queen 💕 will always do, no matter ages. Sitting in front of really really good speakers (high volume) and feel it through your body..... So good.

[@Rumit.A]

MORE QUEEN MORE QUEEN SPECIALLY LIVE!!!!!!

[@pagemeredith4532]

This song is played in stadiums all the time!

[@Terri6868]

Happy birthday 🎁 Written by Brian just for the fans to perform. 👍

[@lynnhoffmann247]

Love this version - a cappella until the guitar at the end 🤩

[@brigitter1469]

Queen was musical genius!! I’m glad you are back watching Queen in studio. There has never been music like Queens. They cut it off because the continuation of the song is “We are the Campions”.

[@DeadlyDan]

Classic tune! I remember singing this in nursery (about 27 years ago) and I accidentally made a kid in class cry! LOL

[@IntellivisionDudeGaming]

When classic rock radio stations play this song they always play We are the Champions right after. It's like a tradition since. It would be blasphemy if they didn't. They were the first 2 songs off the album so it makes sense.

[@kassandrariemersma7902]

This song right here was top of the charts when I was 14

[@Goomberdups]

jayveetv out here giving queen their flowers

[@JanS1]

They were SO cold filming this. Freddie got drunk trying to stay warm ;) Made for a crazy shoot. Oh, and...iconic.

[@retroracingshirt591]

Queen - We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions (Wembley July 12, 1986) is epic

[@juliagrant3299]

You are so cute that you know Brian and the band. I loved the very first time you reacted to Queen. Hard to match their talent and energy

[@senecaevans6156]

We used to sing this in the dugout when I played baseball ⚾️

[@axlewheel6457]

Everyone in the park was dropping hits when this was jamming.

[@p.p.8022]

I was actually on the train and I was listening to We will rock you I started stamping my leg and tapping my hand man who sat opposite started doing same thing. 😀🤘 I'm sure he knew that I was listening to queen ❤

[@jefffederer1807]

This was a big hit growing up in the 70's

[@writerjohnmcnally]

I’m sure someone’s said this, but “We Will Rock You” and “We are the Champions” were always played back to back, without pause - in concert, on the radio, etc. Check out “Dragon Attack” when you can.

[@gigantor62]

Thank you! I'm glad someone brought it up. It's just not the same without the segue.

[@writerjohnmcnally]

@@gigantor62 The contrast between the loud, abrupt ending of “We Will Rock You” and the soft piano and vocals of “We are the Champions” had its own power. It was like a stark cut in a movie between action and stillness.

[@larrywt656]

They were released separately as singles, though, which is why there are two different videos. But no radio stations ever played them separately.

[@writerjohnmcnally]

@@larrywt656 The original 1977 US single had the songs together as A and B sides.

[@steffenjonda8283]

This was the first music video, and was voted as the best :)

[@Tiger-Lilly]

Back in the day my teammate learned the lyrics in choir and our softball team would stomp and cheer this while on the bench. Lol

[@jodylynn612]

Please react to 20th Century Boy by T. Rex and the legendary Marc Bolan. Another great iconic rock song.

[@6anthony8]

This song is played everywhere

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

Queen always liked to involve the audience x

[@mandygray764]

I love it....another Queen song. One that schools used at pep rally's and football games. Have you listened to Killer Queen...different sound but I love it and Radio Goo Goo.

[@CJ_Cantu_80]

Queen one of my time fav bamds

[@בתאלכהן-ז9ח]

You need to see it live!!!

[@terrilabeth7366]

It is a funny thing, the studio versions vs the live performances. You realize that the studio versions were what you were listening to on your CASSETTE WALKMAN on the way to the state basketball championship In Oklahoma, 1984 (we lost first round, bit that is okay, we lost to the team that won the entire thing so there is that. And to be one of the top 8 high school girls basketball teams in Oklahoma was a big deal? Anywho...) So it was these versions that zoom us back to those times. I am grateful to have access to the videos of the live performances since I was never fortunate enough to see them live, but I still had this music AT THAT TIME. It is important I think? It is these versions that grew into the versions you still hear in stadiums today. They built songs to play to stadiums of people. You are right, this song will always be relevant. Always. ❤️

[@nikkis1933]

Queen Rocks! 💯

[@lisemzarate4029]

The coolest description of Queen I've ever heard is "Broadway Metal" Don't remember where I heard it, but it stuck.

[@BScott-xr5lh]

Queen we're an amazing band . Cool

[@14gilbertst]

Probably been said a million times but didn't this song pair up with We Are the Champions?? I don't think I've ever hear them played separately, back in the day anyway.

[@peachsangria8704]

I'm used to hearing them paired together

[@TheSchuyler75]

same

[@ajogg]

Same, they always played both back to back, even if it wasn't a 2 for Tuesday.

[@markvicferrer]

I can just imagine shooting this music video: "Cool, it snowed overnight. Let's shoot the video outside" *5 minutes later* "I can't feel my fingers, let's wrap this up ASAP"

[@k.s.1150]

We Will Rock You is probably one of the most iconic and successful vinyl single B-sides of all time (but the A-side We Are The Champions isn't a flop either). 😀

[@mikeincltnc]

Last year you listened to the group "Shinedown". You should listen to their song "Second Chance" Lead singer Brent Smith has a vocal range that's insane.

[@bossleonie7658]

Boom boom clap

[@MonisiaMarysia]

Please try *Winger "Headed For A Heartbreak", "Seventeen" and "Miles Away" *Steelheart "She's Gone" and "Can't Stop Me Loving You" *Whitesnake "Is This Love"

[@Lexwell_Lavers]
