My favorite song of Queen is this and You Take My Breath Away, My Melancholy Blues, Lilly of the Valley and The Millionaires Waltz. ❤❤❤It goes on and on and on la la lala. Freddie was teased as a child for his extra teeth/overbite but he believed it helped his voice. But his overbite gave him that powerful jaw that great singers need. He also was teased for his long fingers as being womanish but they were double jointed aiding in his piano playing along with his perfect ear. He also had a four octave voice and sang using his false vocal chords like Tuvan singers use. It was like he was created to be able to perform music. All 4 members were intellectually gifted and musically talented. They listened to all types of music. Brian May says in the best documentary of Queen: Days of Our Lives that at first when recording, Freddie didn’t like his voice. So he worked relentlessly on it until it sounded right according to Freddie’s exacting standards. These guys were professionals that took their jobs seriously! RIP Freddie. Miss you still!❤

Sebs, i play. QUEEN every day of my lefe simply because tho i listen to many others, none come up to Queen... none... so i put their music on the minute i wake up, every day pretty much, even before I make ☕️ coffee... The whole band worked hard & practicing was what made them perfect. ALOT of practicing... & Freddie was admittedly & proudly a perfectionist ...he said famously "people spend their hard earned money to buy our tickets so we OWE IT TO THEM to give them the best music possible EVERY TIME." That was their belief & it was always what they felt obligated to do. Now factor in Freddie's GOAT voice along with his charisma... you cant take yr eyes off of him, can you ?! Please go react to White Queen for more knowledge of what this genius of a man does with his piano. He never really had more than a couple of lessons but when several musicians observed him at boarding school from 8 yrs old to about 15 yrs old when they said "lessons weren't necessary since we knew him to hear any song once then he'd just go play it perfectly on the school piano a few minutes later. He was a genius in so many ways. And everyone that knew him repeatedly commented that until he died, he was the nicest, most kind & generous person any of them ever knew. Go down the rabbit hole Sebs, you're mind will be blown. Crazy Little Thing Called Love he wrote in the bathtub on his guitar in ten minutes. LOVE OF MY LIFE is his greatest love song to Mary, former girlfriend, and then just friends forever that he left 50% of his estate to. TIME WAITS FOR NOBODY... IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED... ALWAYS REACT TO THE LIVE CONCERTS !!! OH, & just a year before he died, he decided he wanted to write & sing opera having attended operas all his life even as a child. Yhe top opera diva in the world, Monserrate Caballe, was so impressed by the songs he sent her to hear him sing, that she made a great album with him & did live performances of them. He wrote the music & lyrics with his favorite pianist Mike Moran some of the songs he wrote & sang in English, Spanish & even one in Japanese!!!!.. the album is called BARCELONA & there's live videos of them at LaNit & elsewhere. You should really listen to their 8 songs on that album. I cant wait for you to hear ALL from early 1970s thru 1991 even if you dont have the time to react online to each one... just listen to this amazing voice in all his songs for yr own enjoyment... SO GLAD WE QUEEN BUFFS FOUND YOU SEBS...YOU ARE A TERRIFIC COMMENTATOR IN YR REACTIONS.

This is actually "In The Lap Of The God - REVISITED". Believe it or not, Freddie wrote TWO songs entitled "In The Lap Of The Gods" & "In The Lap of The Gods - REVISITED". Completely different melodies, with different lyrics. There are live versions of both of them. Both are worth the watch. (if you want to hear Roger Taylor's high vocal screams, plus I think Brian's guitarwork is even fancier, also go to "In The Lap of The Gods - Live At The Rainbow 1974". (not REVISTED). They played both songs at this concert. You'll know it's the right one as Freddie will be wearing a white costume during it.) I much prefer the live versions of both. The album version freaks me out. As for Freddie's teeth. Not sure if they aided him singing, but he thought they did so he refused to have them fixed. I know he had to overcome a lisp (sometimes you will hear it in songs) due to them, so that gave him beautiful diction. And it's his vocal clarity & pronunciation, coupled with his tone, that I find so pleasing.

You're not a real Queen fan if you can't sing along with the Oh-oh-la-la-la's of Lap of the Gods revisited :) Brian's guitar solo's are more like another melodic verse of the song than they are the usual rock guitar solo. And he could make his guitar sound like almost anything to work in the song. Also, maybe he didn't need it but Freddie often stayed near Brian during the solos and played around keeping the crowd's attention there. I mean we can all admit that many guitar solos leave us looking around for something interesting. With Freddie giving Brian his attention, it meant that the crowd would as well. Combined with Bri's stunning ability no one could look away.

Please react to White Queen live at Hammersmith Oden 1975. You will be blown away by the vocals and guitar. It’s also an early Queen, your jaw will drop - I guarantee it! Freddie use the think his overbite aided in his vocal abilities. Scientists did a study of his one off vocal octaves and said there is a pair of ventricular folds that are not used, however, whether he knew it or not, Freddie was able to also use that set of folds which gave him that “growl”. Scientists had no explanation for his octave range other than a “gift”. Nobody could convince Freddie to fix his teeth. I kinda don’t blame him. His voice is a one off and will never be duplicated. I have not grown tired of listening to them even after all these years. He is the goat and Queen was an incredible band with 4 gifted self taught musicians

There actually was a scientific study done of Freddie’s voice. Turns out it had nothing to do with his extra teeth but the fact that Freddie had the unique ability to use his “false vocal cords” the ventricular folds above his actual vocal cords to create his unique subharmonics. Also, Freddie had an extremely fast vibrato at 7.04 Hz. Typically an opera singer’s vibrato frequency between 5.5-6 Hz. So, Freddie’s vibrato was faster than an opera singer. That combination is what made Freddie’s singing so unique. Please react to funky Dragon Attack live at Montreal and A Kind of Magic live at Wembley.

ALL live performances of Queen, even before they became kings of rock, are amazing!! Was so lucky to see Freddie with Queen live 3 times!!! Unforgettable!!! You should check out White Queen and Stone Cold Crazy!! Freddie always believed his protruding teeth helped him get a better range but I think it's his talent and yes, Scientists did do a study of his vocals that confirmed his range that is unique to which Dr May said 'We already knew that so now science can now go back to researching things that matter" Lol. Freddie is as amazing live as the records, it the first thing I noticed when I stood a few feet away from him when I first saw him live. He actually sweat on me too!!!

Sebs, there are so many great songs on the first three Queen albums that are not so widely known by the world since their breakout hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" was on their fourth LP, and most people just followed them from that point. This band is so fantastic, all of them amazing in their own right. Look for performances of any of their songs off the first three albums or from concerts from around 1974 and 1975. You should one day react to "White Queen" from the Odeon Hammersmith, 1975 I believe. There is an amazing guitar/piano section in the song you will love!!

Technically, the name of this song is "In The Lap Of The Gods - Revisited". It was Freddie's first attempt to write a song that the audience would sing along with.

Here is a link to a live performance of "In The Lap Of The Gods" at the Rainbow in 1974 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn_Qo51ro7mAhcU (Apparently, Freddie was intrigued by the phrase "in the lap of the gods".)

This video is from a Queen performance entitled "A Night at the Odeon- Hammersmith". It was a BBC broadcast of a live Queen concert on Christmas Eve from the Odeon Theatre in Hammersmith, England in 1975. This performance was the final date of Queen's UK tour in support of the album "A Night At The Opera", which had been released a few weeks previously, and had already gone platinum. Since it was a TV broadcast, they were limited by the time constraints of the BBC so when they performed their final song, which is actually titled "In The Lap Of The Gods - Revisited", there was no encore broadcast. The balloons and streamers were for the TV audience and not usually part of Queen's concert. This song was Freddie's first attempt to write a song that would encourage the audience to sing along with the band. Later songs written specifically for audience participation were, of course, Freddie's "We Are The Champions" and Brian's "We Will Rock You". The band loved their audience to sing along. When Freddie and Brian performed "Love Of My Life", Freddie got used to the audience singing the song and he would direct it. You should watch this video of Freddie and Brian performing "Love Of My Life" at Rio - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZPPi2Wap7B-Z68. (FYI - There is another Queen song, also written by Freddie, titled "In the Lap of The God" kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn_Qo51ro7mAhcU, which is totally different and worth listening to if for no other reason than to hear Roger's contribution to the song). Queen did return onstage following the ending of the broadcast to perform a few more songs as an encore.

Check out Ten Years After doing 'I'm Going Home' (the 11 minute version, not the clipped 6-minute version) that was the closing piece after a two-hour performance - live at Woodstock. To me it's one of the best 'closers' ever. The other members of the band are great, but Alvin Lee is just incredible.

This is actually "In The Lap Of The God - REVISITED". Believe it or not, Freddie wrote TWO songs entitled "In The Lap Of The Gods"& "In The Lap of The Gods - REVISITED

I saw them live when I was a teenager in, Long Beach California. I was in the fourth row. Can you imagine being that close to Freddie Mercury? He is (not was) the GOAT!!!

As a long time Bonnie Raitt fan seen her many times might I suggest Susan Tedeschi…..also a little known blues band Trampled Under Foot…..a great female lead singer who plays bass…she and the guitarist trade vocal duties

THANKS! I don't usually comment, but your reactions are genuine without a lot of unnecessary pauses or talking too much. Thanks for appreciating Queen as much as I do!

The version from the 1974 Live at The Rainbow concert also highlights the otherworldly falsetto voice of the drummer Roger Taylor. Definitely recommend hearing that! Video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn_Qo51ro7mAhcUsi=sBlXg9Bkl8ZKh3xC

What’s up Vic? Love this song too. I just read the below comment, and I didn’t know this info. I wondered why there were different versions, even lyrically…will need to check it out. I absolutely love this one. TY.

I remember it being said the guitarist was playing with a symphony before this band back in the late 70's
