Freddy Mercury had a son with Burt Reynolds, but the child was raised by Rob Halford, and his godfather was Lemmy. In his youth, he became friend with Justin Hawkins from whom he learned the beauty of not taking himself too seriously. BTW : Who the fuck are these legends?... I am now an absolute fan!

[@R4Y2k]

Haha, when I first saw the dude I was like "Big Freddie Energy here".

[@iggysixx]

They might've had some inappropriate uncles in the Talking Heads, The Hives, Disco Ensemble, Danko jones, etc too

[@oakland9658]

Ha Ha, looks like Burt Reynolds remade the Ramones.

[@jordanmiller8207]

Don’t forget the James Hetfield stance. This band is definitely gifted. Glad I came upon them.

[@studioruangsvara]

Nah he watched too many Rob Burgundy with his neighbor Ned Flanders

[@Andreas-em9nb]

Caught these guys 13 years ago at a pub in a small swedish town where they played in front of less than 100 people. They had the same incredible energy back then, so happy to see where it's taken them.

[@drewbyrne7527]

Absolutely!!! How good are they!!!!

[@SnausageKing]

Loads of respect for any band playing the hell out of a small venue. Bismarck ND still talks about the 3 hour set Elton John put on there

[@EkajArmstro]

I got to see them play an absolutely tiny bar in Toronto and despite them already being huge outside of North America they were opening for bands I had never heard of. It sounded like they overall didn't have a great experience on their 2017 NA tour but they still played their hearts out and it was amazing.

[@robr135]

North America is so bad for music. Honestly Europe just kept expanding their horizons beyond the 90's and so many rock/metal bands of so many genres became popular with endless festivals. In NA, its the same ten bands anybody talks about for the last 3 decades, and 8 out of those 10 of those bands have no riffs, leads, or even solos. There are many great underground bands that kill but the majority of people are stuck either on 90's tripe like Korn or Disturbed, or overplayed classic rock. Sad really.

[@BlueRivers]

Real musicians of the highest caliber! These guys blow the doors off any other bands! Drummer is an absolute machine!

[@donfades7869]

Check out the Bloodstock Meshuggah headline set - that's what you call blowing doors off.

They're so much fun!! Best band at Bloodstock for me this year. My wife is obsessed with them now

[@BlueRivers]

Best live band out there! Wish they would come to the USA! : {

[@iggysixx]

Such an uphill battle too. Winning over metal crowds with dope, energetic riffs, hi-octane drums, and hard rock vocal lines.. How _do_ they do it...? I think it might remain a mystery forever

[@robr135]

@@iggysixx Because the majority of metalheads, not the cartoonish 'false metal must unalive' minority we make fun of, enjoy all sorts of music. I listened to an icelandic black metal band on bandcamp just before listening to this lol. Love both.

[@iggysixx]

@@robr135 I am quite familiar with metal and its community, good sir ;) (I was being mildly sarcastic). My main criterium for music is "does it make my heart beat faster" aka "does it awesome" ;) (and metal does that very well. As does hardcore punk. And hard techno, gabber, drum n bass, etc)

[@dbdb703]

Never heard of these guys until they popped up on YT Shorts. Now, I have to hear everything from them! Amazing doesn't do them justice.

[@martinbeilby4178]

Have known one or two of their songs for a few years, however, I was in this crowd, this video does not do them justice to how amazing they were live, being their and having an absolute blast with them was the highlight of Bloodstock for me. Honestly, go see them live, you won't regret it.

How are these guys not the biggest band on the planet? Absolutely incredible, like the rock bands of old.

it's like Electric Six had a baby with The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Sounds like a disco rock band. Thats ok absolutely. Just not a motörhed or ac/dc in terms of rock n roll.

Agree, absolutely adore Royal Republic.....top 3 favourite band without a doubt but selfishly I sort of like that they're not even bigger! And they're bigger in mainland Europe than over here in the UK and the USA anyway! What a band, what a LIVE band, just brilliant!

[@kicsisziszi]

[@peterross6050]

Damn they killed "Battery." Maybe they should do a heavy metal album. They sound great both in pop and metal.

Is it me or does everyone lucky enough to see this band has great things to say? I'm hoping someine like Foo Fighters will bring them to the US - I need to see this band!!! I also have to say the fans in Eurpoe seem to be very open to different types of music and look like they know how to have a great time!

[@TheNicoscerri]

Europe has always been like that with all music. Most bands who tour prefer Europe cause you get treated like a human being rather than a piece of shit 😂

Other bands could learn a few things about having fun doing your craft and being ENTERTAINERS! Love them!

[@darkpulpo5715]

These guys are golden, as a Metallica fan since the 80's I truly appreciate the nod to his influences. This band rocks hard AF, I'm a hard rock fan, and these guys won my absolute respect, so much so I got tickets for their concert here in Paris!! 🤘 Love the pearls!

[@theonlyalexoliveira]

Adam has infinity gas pedal and shows no signs of instability or damage to his voice. Really sleeper singer maybe one of the best in music right now.

Was introduced to this bunch by yootoob's clip of them doing "Battery". They're awesome!

Why is Sweden one of the few countries that can still produce awesome rock bands? What is wrong with the rest of the world.

[@nunobarbosa8248]

Finally some fresh air!!!

[@Z20bEn53]

FYI - the opener is La Rejouissance (Allegro) from Handel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks." Composed in 1749 for the April 27, 1749 fireworks show in London's Green Park. During a rehearsal on April 21, 1749 in Vauxhall gardens, 12000 people showed up each paying half a crown to hear this fantastic new composition. It caused a 3 hour 'traffic jam' of carriages on London bridge. A fitting piece to open for Royal Republic!

[@PsychoticFruitfly]

these guys HAVE TO come to the states, Nashville doesn't understand what they're missing out on. we have crowds in desperate need of this show.

[@BlueRivers]

1000% agreed! Please come to Virginia too!

[@Jon7Lane]

I wasn't too sure what to expect on the day, and it was quite a different genre, but it was brilliant - I absolutely loved it!

[@Cr0wsMurd3r]

I was just thinking that alot of the people at Bloodstock would think this, probably never really having heard the band before. I saw them back at the end of May here in Sweden, not having heard many of their songs either. Thouroghly enjoyed the gig. High energy fun. (Also primarily a methalhead)

[@Jon7Lane]

@@Cr0wsMurd3r Yes high energy indeed and tight playing - it was quite a workout for them and for us!

[@ryanking2721]

They absolutely slayed. Everywhere I looked there was people dancing and having a great time

[@robr135]

Most metalheads (the ones that are not cartoony pretentious metal caricatures) are some of the most open minded people when it comes to music. I mean I just listened to Helloween's Walls of Jericho right before I watched this lol, and that's pure 80's speed metal. Royal republic are one of my favorite bands. The fact that they respect metal so much is just icing on the cake.

[@johmoore39]

Oh my god can't belive this is on full set. Highlight of weekend loved it hats off to bloodstock team for putting them on and it worked would be great to see them next year. Really think the band loved it and so did the crowd hats of to everybody. Never heard of them before but great fun

AMAZING BAND!!!

[@DaveShmoe]

Stop Movin' is pretty much straight up EDM. Full Steam Space Machine is Franz Ferdinand on steroids. Anna-Leigh is like 80's pop soul with great vocals...then they follow that up with a blistering snippet of Battery. I saw another video of them doing a mini acoustic set and their harmonies are off the charts. To a man, their musicianship is incredible! Their live show is high energy and so much FUN!
