[@jksgameshelf3378]

It always blows me away that their guitarist, Brian May, isn't just one of the best guitarists of all time and actually hand-built his guitar that he played in the band, but he's also a Doctor of Astrophysics - which he was in college for when the band formed, and then went back decades later to finish his doctoral thesis on "The Motions of Interplanetary Dust," which earned him his PhD in 2007. Also, if you really wanna hear his best guitar solo work, it doesn't get better than 'Brighton Rock' with some killer falsetto work by Freddie. I'm so glad I got to see them live twice back in the day.

[@The-sg3ve]

him and his father built the guitar out of various fireplace and mantle pieces as well as some odd bits as he put it.

[@daffydad]

And he also uses an old sixpence piece as a plectrum as he liked the metal sound of it

[@chicochi3]

Don't forget that the amp Brian uses was invented by their bass player John Deacon.

Great Song. When Mercury died, the world lost a hell of a Performer. When Queen performed at Live Aid, they owned the Show.

[@NOLAgenX]

More Queen!! Freddie is the only frontman I’ve ever seen in over 40 concerts who literally controls the crowd, beginning to end with his immeasurable charisma and talent. The backing vocals of of Brian May and Roger Taylor, and near perfection of John Deacon’s bass guitar round out one of the greatest bands of all time.

[@ronnix23]

Definitely not a talent unique to Freddy. For example, Prince absolutely controlled the crowd. I will say, however, that it was more common to have front men who could do so back then than it is today.

[@bluebell3720]

@@ronnix23 I'd have to look up videos Maybe things were different in the uk. A music journalist said she had never seen someone interact/ control an audience like Freddie did. Brian said when Freddie was suggesting more interaction and involvement of the crowd he said rock bands just didnt do that they performed their song and thats it. Brian found it irritating at first then later liked the idea

[@chicochi3]

Meat Loaf could control the crowd also.

[@NOLAgenX]

For those arguing the point of Freddie I made, please read carefully. I said of all I have seen. No arguments against your favored frontman. However, anyone who did not see Queen live, they really cannot fathom just how strong Freddie’s charisma was when he was onstage.

[@ronnix23]

@@NOLAgenX I was not arguing that Freddy couldn’t absolutely control a crowd. I agree with you that he did. You said that you hadn’t seen anyone else who could do it. I have so that’s why I gave you my example of Prince. I also agree with you that it’s a rare talent.

My one regret in life is that I never got to see Queen and the amazing Freddie Mercury live. He didn't just stand on stage and sing but used every inch available to PERFORM. Pure magic!

[@sluggzmcgee6272]

I've heard many great rock vocalists in my time (Hetfield, McCartney, Rose, Cobain, Jagger...) but there's just something about Freddie's voice that was just so mesmerizing and electrifying simultaneously that convinced me that he was the greatest rock vocalist/performer of all time! FREDDIE MERCURY/Farrokh Bulsara (1946-1991)

[@lorijohnston4311]

Yes! Freddie and Queen! This is my go-to happy song. You can't listen to this and not feel good!

[@shweppy]

You should do "The Show Must Go On" next. It's probably Freddie's greatest vocal performance, and that is an exceptionally high bar.

[@AZambri1]

I love the Show Must Go On!

[@MrJPEZ123]

Agreed.

[@markumphrey642]

The story behind that song is amazing - as told by Brian May, Freddie was weak and in his final months of his battle with AIDS…Brian said to Freddie he was worried about the high notes and didn’t want Freddie to strain himself and Freddie said, “Don’t worry, I’ll f***ing nail it, darling”. He downed a couple of shots of vodka and out came that performance. His delivery of that song is truly everything and the lyrics are so poignant given his fight with the disease. It’s such a remarkable song and performance.

[@matinmirnaghibi5846]

Absolutely but also mother love from the same album is also Absolutely amazing Freddie at his best even tho he was also at his weakest point health wise and it would turn out to be his last vocal performance

YAY-Queen, the best along with Led Zeppelin. I compare them in the fact that all 4 members of the band were equally important to the music like Zep. Freddie was the frontman with his vocals but they would not be Queen without the expertise of all 4 of them.

[@mikephillips8810]

The two bands that are most often mentioned as the greatest rock band of all time on here and online generally (The Beatles were the greatest band of all time, of course) Led Zeppelin and Queen both had massive sales figures and huge influence. Also both are often mentioned as having created the greatest rock song of all time, Stairway to Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody.

You guys are a hitting a lot of their biggest songs, but oh how I'd love it if you reacted to Death On Two Legs. And I don't think you've done it yet, but Killer Queen is a must-hear classic.

I am super late to the party of reaction videos, but I'm just an old hippie. I listen to music way more than I watch tv and love music videos on KZbin. Watching young people be exposed to the music I grew up with and still listen to warms my heart more than I can say. I've really gotten into all of the reactions, but you two have really struck a chord for me. You can see that your are both committed to each other and your family. And you have such open minds when it comes to music. I was raised on old country, big bands, the Rat Pack and such. I remember getting my first transistor radio which meant I could get FM stations out of St Louis. Queen & Freddie are my all time favorite. I saw them in 1978 when I was 16 yrs old. This song has become my daily devotion. I listen to it every day on my way to work and it just puts me in the best of moods. You cannot be crabby after listening to Freddie sing this song. I'm so glad to see you two haven't stopped making videos! Most of the people I've found gave up about the time Covid subsided. I suppose these videos came out of the pandemic to start with?
