Ty Reacts to Queen "Radio Ga Ga”

[@BailaMorena4Eva]

I love how artists grow and change. Queen is one of a kind.

I grew up with Queen so I'm not objective but I think this song is just a banger! They could rock, they could pop, they could vibe... and Freddie's voice is always goose bumps. You should watch this performed at LIVE AID (and the music video is one of the first videos I can recall watching on MTV). I also suggest you watch 'I want to break free' music video: it was banned at the time by US MTV, but for us European it was amazing! It was so much fun!

[@reactionextraction]

It is a banger! I love the song 🎧 The live aid ‘85 performance is way legendary for sure, I will show it to Ty soon. Love the futuristic video also…….I think America was just way too conservative back then to appreciate “I want to break free”. The US missed out on later Queen music before Freddie passed, what a shame!

The diversity of musical styles is one of the biggest characteristics of Queen, but if we consider their live performances, the group would fit more like a hard rock band. What I like most about Radio Ga Ga are historical references to the radio broadcasts of War of the Worlds - by Orson Welles - and Superman, in addition to the criticism of the MTV video clip era. Ironically, the Radio Ga Ga musical video also generated one of the most impressive audience interactions, during the double clap of the chorus.

Awesome love the insight! Great contribution to the show, Queen fans always bring us such cool details about the band. The double clap 👏🏻 is legendary live for sure! Thx so much 😊

[@williamtristan5925]

I totally understand Ty's reaction to the song. I hated it when I first saw the video on MTV. HOWEVER, my opinion changed when I saw the Live Aid performance. Maybe try a reaction to that iconic performance and see if his opinion changes a bit. Fun fact: Lady Gaga got her name because she used to cover this song when she was starting up. 🤘

[@reactionextraction]

Great fun fact , insight & contribution to the show! Thx so much……Maybe I should have shown him the live version first, oh well live & learn ha. 😬❕

[@tarar1998]

Yes!!please have him watch h the live aid concert! It will give him a whole new view of Queen

[@Tom-ek7hc]

Great reaction as always,I think a harder song like (Queen- I want it all) would be great for a reaction, hell of a lot different to Radio Ga Ga and an absolute banger.

[@reactionextraction]

Yes great suggestion for us. I was thinking about either “I want it all” or “killer queen” next for Ty. Hard to choose for sure!

[@MP-kv3fo]

Gosh. I looove it his song. I remember the first time I heard it. I was A teenager and this has been an awesome memory

[@rugbyfan460]

I read that when Roger presented this to the band it had a smoother, more flowing feel. Freddie suggested adding the rhythmic/techno feel. It just shows how the band was willing to take an idea and run with it. 4 individuals working together to create magic.

[@reactionextraction]

Your Right, Pure Magic !

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

Maybe should have watched the Live Aid version. The crowd adds a whole another dimension. At the time The Works was released people thought Queen was past its prime. But, they were wrong. That said, Queen's sound changed drastically between The Game and A Kind of Magic.

[@reactionextraction]

Probably right on that one 😎 My bad, ha

[@barrysiewert7386]

If you want something more upbeat, check out Dragon Attack in Montreal or Stone Cold Crazy at the Rainbow.

[@dianecourtney2724]

You would love the video ✌🏼

[@reactionextraction]

Totally cool, Kinda reminds me of a metropolis / flash Gordon kinda vibe

[@stellatricella7742]

Ha ha ! Ga ga goo goo! I understand you Ty. Maybe this is not their best song ... but we love them forever aniway. Try with Somebody to love, my fav with Bohemian rapsody. Hugs guy.

[@reactionextraction]

Thx for watching 📺 great suggestion for Ty “somebody to love” , that’s going on the list. I gotta get him into QUEEN ! What do u think about “killer queen” ?

[@stellatricella7742]

@@reactionextraction Yes Dad, sorry I do not know your name, Killer queen is a great introduction to Queen world. An exiting yourney. I think Ty should also like Dont stop me now. Hugs.

[@reactionextraction]

@@stellatricella7742 Yes I think “Killer Queen” is a solid choice. My name is Quint btw 😎👍🏼

[@juan_nader_]

Great Video! I wanna u react to Alphaville, Like a Melody or Take my breath away both are amazing.

[@reactionextraction]

Great suggestion, Alphaville on the list so coming soon

[@paulwells9882]

Disappointed by Electronic . It features Neil Tennant

[@bendybunny1318]

This is a painful to watch. The loss of rebellion with each generation is sad.

[@radouanezid425]

This was when radio started to lose its influence

[@reactionextraction]

Yes can totally see that! I miss old school radio stations!

[@radouanezid425]

They have another song called Machine and this is about technology taking over?

[@VegetaUnv7]

I would never understand someone reaction to a studio album when there's LIVE AID, like WTF???

[@RoverWaters]

synth is done by a session player

[@reactionextraction]

Oh man that’s harsh 🙃

[@79BlackRose]

A very odd choice to introduce someone to Queen. Nowhere near their best songs.

[@reactionextraction]

Well IDK, pretty cool 😎 song to me ✅

[@dominictucci6030]

I love this song. It's a powerful tribute to radio as video was taken over during that time in the mid 80's.
