Did you know that Legendary Queen guitarist Sir Brian May, is also an astrophysicist with a PhD? He was also a "science team collaborator" with NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission. He not only collaborated with NASA on its New Horizons mission to Pluto but also created a rock anthem and video to honor the spacecraft, which in 2019 logged the most distant flyby in history-and is still going. Bass guitarist John Deacon, has a degree in Electronics. Drummer and backing vocalist Roger Taylor, has a bachelor's degree in biology. Freddie Mercury had a degree in graphic art and design.

At the time of Live Aid, 1985, Freddie hadn't even been diagnosed as HIV + yet, let alone diagnosed with AIDS. That is one place where the movie really deviates from the timeline so many people are confused on that fact.

[@oxford17]

It definitely was a foreboding line, in retrospect. I feel the “man” he killed is himself. I feel it’s related to his original mental struggle of being gay in the face of loving Mary, his fiancé, and the expectations of his parents and the Zoroastrian faith. He made the decision to embrace his homosexuality and killed the old Freddie.

[@ramonaljensen]

It is rumored (and partially confirmed) that he wrote this about a plague that had began hitting a few of his close friends and he watched them battle it. At that time it was wasn't studied yet much less named, it was simply whispered about as "that gay disease".

I play piano, have played the guitar and a number of other instruments, as well as having done some digital stuff as well. There is still plenty of talent (both with digital and traditional instruments), as well as there still being plenty of talented people. The issue isn't that it's disappeared, it's that people don't look deep enough. It's also worth noting that music composed digitally, like art done digitally, isn't easier. It's different, but still requires an intricate understanding of music to actually get anywhere with it.

Thanks to Quora: Freddie did not have operatic training. His only training came from being in choir in boarding school and taking piano lessons. Freddie was a self taught singer and worked very hard to practice and determine his best sound. He fell in love with Montserrat Caballé‘s operatic vocals, and when she asked to meet him, he and Mike Moran went to Barcelona to see her. They formed an immediate bond which led to the creation of the album. Barcelona Freddy sang in the tenor range, but Montserrat said he was a true baritone, and he sang that way for her.

Puts a huge smile on my face that this masterpiece lives on through you young people 😊

[@chrissyd2435]

Had the greatest of pleasure of seeing them live if I said they were amazing I'd have to say it a million times. Still as though I watched them yesterday a memory I will never forget.

[@Solamia7]

As a 60 yr old I had so much fun watching you guys listen to this! I stil get goosebumps everytime I hear this song. This was the 1st album I ever bought when I was in Junior High-a 33 RPM LP (that’s vinyl in case you don’t know)

[@lyricalrocker3410]

Probably the most fun reaction i've seen from you guys! Because everybody has to have that Bohemian Rhapsody buddy moment at least once in their lives.

[@MsCavsfanatic]

This was precedent setting. EVERYTHING about it. The harmonies. I was 18 when this came out. I was driving in my car and could not believe what I was hearing. It was one of the most exciting musical experiences I have ever had.

[@NinjaBooKitty]

Freddie Mercury, the greatest showman in history! 🙏🏻 Love when he yelled out 'Rock star!" 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jkhegarty857]

I was fortunate to see Queen twice. This song in person was AWESOME!! The lyrics are even killer. ❤

[@samanthastevens4350]

You guys rock for reviving these songs to the younger gen. Bohemian Rhapsody was BEST wearing those giant headphones and having the audio go left them right. We miss you Freddie 💋

[@loredanadodson1602]

Yes we do !

[@loredanadodson1602]

I love these young guys enjoying these great song of my time !

[@miahoffman4687]

This is song still stand the test of times. I came across it from Wayne's World Movie (90's). This is what you call a Masterpiece (Rock-Ballad)..glad you guys enjoyed it...Also guys remember the Beatles was from a different time...there's just no comparison ..Each band is in their own Lane...

[@nameisamine]

Wow. I was floored when he said he’d never heard ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. People really be in their own bubbles 😅

[@ButterflyEars60]

You guys are so darn cute!!! I love watching you all interacting. Your parents must be so proud of what great young men have become. ❤

[@leemp337]

congrats brandon. if i was a manager, i would hire you without even knowing your talents and skills. it would be based on your intelligence, open mindedness and curiosity you have shown on here. With those traits you can be taught and trained to do any job needed, and you would be amazing at it. You'll be a great leader one day as well.

This song was insane to produce. All real vocals no editing software, live instruments and tape recordings or vinyls. The managers/producers etc didn’t want to release the song. Purely because it’s 4 distinct segments lasting like 8 minutes when a car radio song/vinyl track should only be 3 minutes max for resale value/physical space to have more songs. Freddie Mercury wrote the song and developed it like an opera. Not as a rock ballad initially because of his personal music tastes mixed with the story telling/dramatics of opera music. (Purposefully dramatic vocal rang a mix of instrumentals from piano accompaniment to percussion and strings and vocals, with typically dark subject/context) [the snow queen aria the ‘ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-haa-‘ one is about a step mother commanding her daughter to commit murder. It can be romantic operas but a flair for the dramatics is what makes a show a show in 1800-1900s] (While musicians don’t like to admit it, many composers who did violin the usual accompaniment for many operas/music they also did guitar works. It’s not hard to find guitar works that can sound similar to an opera melody/other type of song that fits with that style/instrument. They are strings and altho very different you can find overlap which makes Bohemian Rhapsody rather wild) And he forced the other band members to help complete it at a time when they were starting to have disagreements. While the falsetto is his voice and he sings the main vocals the second highest register is one of the other band members singing soprano which took multiple multiple takes.

[@RoverWaters]

6:40 Brian May wrote the solo, not Freddie

[@sharonkay8638]

Nobody did it like Freddie and Queen. Bo Rhap is in our DNA, to the extent that if you can’t sing it are you even English? Look up the Greenday concert where the crowd sing the whole song on their own. Absolute goosebumps!🥰

[@nathalied.3590]

Watching you guys get hypnotised by the beginning lyrics and then explode with energy feeling it was a true pleasure to watch. Having the younger generation appreciate the old timeless classics is a joy ❤

[@paulborresch6116]

Your group vibe dynamic is phenomenal. This was fun to watch you rock out. Keep up the great work!

[@paulwarner22]

BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN!! guys you got to watch queen doing the live8 concert it’s the best performance you will ever see 👍

[@paulwarner22]

@scabthecat actually it’s called live aid

[@cayt23]

My new favourite way to get hyped is watching you guys discover songs ive loved for years. I mean im only 30 and it makes me feel old af but you guys cheer me up

[@sheilamaxwell5303]

Heyyyyyy guys. I just came across you all’s channel and I’m just enjoying watching all of you appreciate the music that I grew up with from the 70’s 80’s and early 90’s. I’m a black woman who just fell in love with Queens music and rock n roll. The song that you listen to which is a masterpiece was about Freddy Mercury telling his mother that he is a gay man. If you all have not seen the Live Aid performance he did in the 80’s it’s one to watch. Not sure if you all have watched Boy George, Madonna and Sade but those artist were just phenomenal and made some awesome music. As of today all of you have a new subscriber….. keep enjoying the music and I will enjoy reminiscing the wonderful times of my childhood.

[@lonefriar4700]

One thing that made Queen unique was achieving this sound without electronic synthesizers.

[@dom19945]

This song is worth learning the lyrics to. There’s nothing better than all your friends singing this together like in Wayne’s World.

[@silverdoeGirl]

Guys they were revolutionary - you should watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Its easy to forget Brian May made that guitar himself as a teen. Brian filled the wormholes with matchsticks as he carved out the neck. The center body of the Red Special was created from oak, the wood recycled from an old table. The sides of the guitar could be made of weaker material since they don't have to support the string tension - Insane right? The wood from an old table lol

[@elizabethrenee1283]

I love me some Queen!! I first heard this song in 1975 when I was 14 years old, and 50 years later, it is still one of my all-time favorite songs. I need to purchase their greatest hits. Freddie's voice was phenomenal ❤️

[@TwoRiversFarm707]

Saw Queen twice (with Freddie) and Freddie absolutely had the audience wrapped around his fingers during the whole concert. He had us singing along with him, echoing his vocalizations, clapping with him, etc. We were his marionette puppets. And we LOVED it!

[@cyndigirl418]

I'm glad to see you boys have redeemed yourselves! Recognize greatness! This song is a masterpiece!

[@magicbound]

I'm so glad you guys enjoyed Queen. They are legends!

[@chrisc7285]

These guys are fantastic, I love their reactions to music of the past, great to watch

[@charlesburris6314]

Years ago, the audience at a Greenday concert sang this song. It was legendary! Queen is an all time great band. Their music will stand forever, beside other legends like Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. Have a great day!

[@aimeerisch4059]

Linked it in my comment 😊

[@ryanthomas985]

That was one of the best crowd moments in history Freddy was definitely smiling from heaven

[@nehalitanushri2375]

You guys are my favourite reaction channel, you always brighten my day no matter what you’re reacting to. But I’ve been struggling a bit lately and hearing you react to this (imo) masterpiece from Queen makes me happy. Thank you guys all very much for the entertainment and helping so many people forget their problems for a few mins and just smile ❤️

[@markwest8960]

Indeed. Some really salt-of-the-earth fellas there. The world need more positive people like them.

[@olegstacie]

Very sorry to hear that you're struggling.... "Take heart. Get up." There are lots of us out here, btw. Just gotta keep showing up for life, friend. ♥

[@nathanstrickland6508]

I love you guys!! You bring a smile to my face with every video. You give this old man hope for our great country.

[@annmccarthy7802]

brilliant, loved watching the guys enjoying the twists and turns of the great Bohemian Rhapsody.
