[@ajwinslow1]

I wasn't that impressed with Queen. Why just the one song? Usually the audience, and the floor seats are reserved for inductees, goes nuts! Especially for a band that nobody had been able to see perform for aprox 10 years. Other inductees generally get on stage and jam as sort of a welcome to the club celebration. I'm wondering if Queen refused the other musicians? When Nirvana;a was inducted a few years ago, they played 4 songs with 4 different singers filling in for Kurt. The Doors played 4 songs with Eddie Vedder singing in place of Jim Morrison. Maybe Queen just wasn't into it??? They didn;t seem to be enjoying themselves as much as most bands do. I try to go every year if I can score tickets but they're impossible to get, and it;s not a matter of ticket prices. I couldn't get in that year so I'm not sure what happened. Just from this and other film of the evening I noticed Jimmy Page and Robert Plant sitting in the front corner of the balcony. During Steely Dans acceptance speech I saw Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon and Springsteen, who never misses and generally plays with everyone! Aerosmith, who was also inducted in 2001was sitting 3 rows from the stage. Paul McCartney and Billy Joel were 2 rows back along the side and were not exactly animated either.

[@bertrich2003]

Brian's actually a good singer

[@ahmetuzun3296]

ofc he is. but when u have freddie in your group u can't sing :D

[@pattiemac1]

[@blackjackmusic1107]

Everyone in Queen is a great singer... Listen to any of their songs, it's not just Freddie dubbing himself (but he did some times) it's the whole band harmonizing

[@Paul8820]

One of the best live performed versions of this song after Freddie's death. And this audience stood there like mindless zombies. lmfao

[@Gallienkrueger1]

it's because the audience has to sit down. A sitting audience is for musicals or for other theater performances. At a rock concert you stand. Nothing kills an audience like having them sit down.

[@saintroddy]

Kind of hard to be jumping around when you're dressed in all your finery.

[@jamesjackson8058]

Pauljackson1988 I agree . Never seen Brian and Roger do this together. They should do a few .. Brian your Great .. maybe no other singer?

[@azulmarin1942]

Mala audiencia sí yo hubiese estado ahí hubiese saltado como loca

[@dory4008]

Agreed

[@angm1427]

That audience sucks. C'mon, people, it's Brian and Roger (and staff, of course) who are performing the unique We Will Rock You!

[@velcronieves4745]

Yes, I thought the audience a little too formal too. I was dying for them to loosen up and start jamming but they never did unfortunately. :(

[@angm1427]

You were there???

[@velcronieves4745]

No!!!! I was talking about my reaction to what I saw in the video. My apologies for not having been clearer about that. I WISH I'd been there though!

That's why I hate watching those ceremonies. Everyone is seating at their table, in tuxedos and gowns, waiting for their $2000 meal each. Then when it's time to celebrate the most amazing rock band in history, they are so engulfed they can't get off their seat, making Queen look like an entertainment band at the local ball. Ain't that a shame.

[@tobyblake851]

Brian made his own guitar.He designed and built it over the years I heard him say when he was interviewed on public radio. They did a special interview of him, and he really was the catalyst that kept the band together. I was involved in life in Mpls, MN from 1980-1990 and Queen's sound and vibe was almost up there with Prince; the 80s was the beginning of the cocaine revolution, music had changed 180%, like it was mostly produced with a lot of money and cocaine. AIDS really swept through Minneapolis- it was the heroin of the 60s, took thousands of lives. Queen was the band with the largest attendence at on concert.

[@patricksommer3971]

This was the one and only time they performed this song in THIS way. I love this version.

[@cristiona22]

Amazing performance by Queen. Great vocals by Bri and Rog. Audience must have been on Valium though.

1 and 3/7ths sugar! I remember seeing a video and someone said they wanted that in their coffee. Only a true Queeny knowns that.

[@albankataoka2537]

Tammy Reyes They did do their vocals on tour for a while. Brian May formed a solo band with Cozy Powell and someone else called the Brain May band and Roger formed a band called the Cross

[@cristiona22]

The thing is - and Roger has said this - that it’s fine doing vocals like they did here but they can’t do that for a two hour show without compromising the music.

[@TheKoopaKings]

Brian May did an amazing solo album and tour Called Back To The Light!

Damn Brian May can sing. He's not Freddie of course but he has proven time and again he can handle a lot of what Freddie did vocally live. Very impressive. Man there's a lot this guy can do more than I already knew he could. He is slowly becoming one of the most talented musicians I've ever seen altogether. I already admire him so much for his contributions to Queen and his role in the band. He also is so humble too, especially considering he's a devout scholar.
