Queen-It's A Hard Life Video, Spread Your Wings Video,& Unboxing Of Gift From Subscriber (Reaction)

Spread Your Wings is yet another John Deacon masterpiece... that quiet little bass player was a wonderful songwriter!

[@TheBre0523]

Also people have said he wrote this about himself before he came into the band because even though he was EXTREMELY debilitatingly shy he was destined for greatness and wanted spred his wings and fly away

Freddies death hit JD the hardest,he was never the same again. lets just be thankful we have all these wonderful pieces of art from Queen to watch over and over. they are all mini concertos.

[@vintageangel1207]

I owe so much to John Deacon, he is the reason I have loved and dedicated so much of my time to music, especially bass. Him along with Paul McCartney , the rest of the Beatles and Queen as a whole have changed my life so much and I am so grateful. Thank you Queen, Thank you Beatles and may Freddie Mercury, John Lennon and George Harrison rest forever in peace. I love them all.

[@kendallneason3645]

Freddie’s adoration and exposure to all kinds of music definitely helped the band create unique music. That Freddie was born with a glorious voice with a four octave range, perfect pitch and a natural ear that allowed him to compose music and teach himself how to play guitar after having had only 4 years of piano lessons as a child, his large jaw, wide mouth, and double jointed fingers all helped. Most of all the fact that Freddie was ambitious and like each member of Queen, a perfectionist that took their jobs as musicians seriously helped too. Each member had high levels of education and true musical talent which made their band destined for success.

I think Freddie Mercury was a lot like David Bowie in the fact that he was a true artist in every sense of the word. Singing was just a drop in the bucket for Freddie.

[@avafrazee6461]

I think Freddies flamboyance was his defense mechanism against his deep rooted feelings of lonliness. In order to be accepted he was extreme in everything that way if someone didnt agree with how he did things he could shrug it off and keep going. Of course his extravagance was his legacy but also his downfall. The band did not care for Munich which led to all kinds of bad behaviour for Freddie as the club scene was much more available and accepted. New York was similar. Too much freedom and risky behavior. RIP Freddie. On another note I watched that 74 Rainbow concert last week. Amazing performance. Enjoy.

Yay! Two of my list of favorites! I like your interpretation what you said of Freddie. I just learned yesterday that Kurt (Nirvana) Corbain wrote on his suicide letter he wished he was more like Freddie Mercury, just enjoying his music and his audience. What an inspirational example of how influencial Freddie was for all kinds of people... Great review again, thank you!

[@deborahcornell171]

When you paused "Spread Your Wings" to talk about its simplicity I burst out laughing because, even though every word you said was true, I knew what was coming next! You really picked two exact opposites to do together. I think you're right about Freddie's creativity. The first two trailers for the movie (BohRap) said "Fearless is forever." And that's true. Freddie had a vulnerability about him in some ways, but his drive and creative genius made him unafraid when it came to performing, on stage and in videos. And a meticulous perfectionist in the studio. I'm still hoping you'll do "Gimme the Prize" and the studio version of "Dragon Attack". Pretty please.

@@bethford6007 Shitsville? Lol! I think I've been there a few times myself! I plan to do a little collecting too. I have the first five Queen albums stored away in pristine condition, each bought as it was released. And later albums on CDs of course. But I cherish those old albums. You might've seen me say this before (repeating myself), but when they released their 1st album I was a little teen Zeppelin fanatic. I read a review that favorably compared them to Zep. That was good enough for me. I rushed out & bought it sight unseen (& sound unheard) the day after it hit the record stores. I then was stunned at what I heard coming out of my stereo speakers and suddenly found myself with two favorite bands. Anyway, a lot of youthful happy memories go with those early albums, times spent listening with friends etc. I wouldn't take anything for them. I definitely plan to supplement them with the kind of goodies we've been talking about. I've loved Queen & our dear Freddie all these years, but the past few months it's been like a resurgence, with the movie and watching new fans come into being. And these reaction videos & reading all the comments by my fellow fans. I'm enjoying the hell out of it!

[@dresden123456]

Oh I'm so happy when you do these double features! Actually nobody was thinking about music videos before Queen period. Artists would do telly and get their music on radio but before Bo Rhap there were no music videos per se. It's a Hard Life is my favourite music video from Queen. It's so hilariously over the top and just the absolute hatred Roger still has for it makes it the greatest. "Mediterranean prawn", Bri being "dangerously close to acting", John as unicorn, Roger not giving a single fck walking around in his white trainers and mouthing fck at one point... The greatest 😂 you really need to check it with Bri and Rog's commentary!

[@Chinachik]

Regarding the music videos, you're partially right. Queen was in an innovator in the fact that they shot a lot of them, but even in the mid and late 60s some bands like The Stones and The Beatles had music videos shot specifically for release on BBC television or to be shown on variety shows to promote their new releases.

[@dresden123456]

@@Chinachik ah interesting, thanks for the info! I was always under impression they were performances filmed for telly rather than music videos in the more modern sense of the term (not sure if I'm explaining myself correctly 😅)

[@bethford6007]

@@dresden123456 you're doing okay. Music Videos as stand alone entertainment were just coming into being (invented). Music groups were trying to find outlets to get their music heard/noticed. Radio was original and first mode. But how else can you grab attention to bring people to your concerts or to buy your album? And yes - tv shows helped (here in US 2 songs on SNL were quite important (imo). Then tv started noticing ... hmm we can develope this into a show and MTV was created!!!

[@paulr2540]

@@Chinachik there is even a promo video for Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman, and that song was 1958!

[@Chinachik]

@@dresden123456 I think that was mainly the case for The Rolling Stones, as far as filming performances that could appear on television. But if you want to see the earliest music video by The Beatles, check out one for the song Rain. It's hard to find on KZbin now, probably due to copyright issues, but it's one of those rarities in that it wasn't first featured as a part of one of their movies or anything. It was just a video of them filmed and set to the newly released song that was presented to the BBC and also specifically sent to the variety show host Ed Sullivan to appear on his show as they couldn't make a personal appearance due to being elsewhere on tour, but still wanted to thank him for properly introducing them to American viewers. And you're explaining yourself just fine. I get that you mean "music video" as being more of a production rather than simply a band having themselves filmed performing one of their songs....because sure, there were lots of those filmed songs before Queen, but there were very few actual short "films" that were specifically created and used as promotional material set to the soundtrack of a band's song before the early 70s. Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the first in that regard. :)

Spread your wings is a masterpiece from John Richard Deacon, Deaky or Deacy, Queen's secret weapon, great bassist and super dancer!!!

[@celosemnexo]

Did genius say that song was written by Brian May? As far as I know the song was written entirely by Freddie Mercury. Talking about "It's a hard life". The other song, "Spread your wings" was written by John Deacon.

[@giegiebee1959]

Deaky wrote spread your wings, Freddie wrote It's a hard life, but Brian helped him arranging it. Brian said it in the commentary of the video, he was a bit disappointed thst Freddie wanted that type of video after he poured all his soul and hearth in the lyrics and he spent hours working with him so he knew Freddie meant every word.

[@headrushindi]

This is what I like so much about your reaction vids. You don't just look at it from an emotional perspective, However their music has plenty of that to suit anyones needs. But you educate folks, you research the music. Your introspection and insight about the musical motivations of the band are really spot on. You as well as many other people are coming to realize that the One Key ingredient missing in (Much, Not all ) of todays music is what you are finding in the talents of these greats from the past. A great deal of the canned music today lacks the spirit, the integrity musically as well as lyrically , the passion and the depth are gone today.when you hear greats such as Ray Charles or Aretha sing a ballad. or hear Freddy with Queen , or even groups like Yes or Kansas..we were listening to people who were relating Life to us ...not just momentary pleasures...they were giving us truth , and even wisdom in poetry and real music, and not just appealing to our modern need to live fast and die young. Keep up the good work ...you are really hitting the nail on the head with all of your reaction vids not just Queen

[@lollinelson5549]

Great reaction, probably the best ever! Thank you!!! I really like how you have come to appreciate Queen. In answer to your question, I think you answered it yourself. Freddie never cared what others thought of him. His creativity was pure genius. We, the public, will never truly understand pure genius like Freddie's. But I also really wanted to point out that English humor is/was way different from American humor. If you watch any English comedy show, most of it goes right over your head. Dressing in drag is a very English thing!! It dates back pre- Shakespeare. Boys have always been tutored at home or gone to prestigious boarding schools!!! All boys schools!!! If they put on shows, half the guys had to dress in the girl's clothes. The English don't see anything wrong with this. They also are much less puritanical than Americans. Therefore, as we saw Queen dressed up as women in the 1980's video, most people in America were shocked, and Queen never toured America again. Such a shame. It truly hurts my heart that we make the outside more important than what is inside a person's heart. I will never understand how judgements can be made on looks instead of content. We have come a long way, but we have such a long way to go!!

[@louhollingsworth1273]

Shoutout to John who is playing the piano at the start of Spread Your Wings with the bass on his lap, finishes the piano note, stands up, and hits the first note of the bassline in one movement. (Brian does it too in live versions of Save Me and it's amazing). It's A Hard Life - something that struck me in the video was probably unintentional - Roger, Brian and John all standing guard before Freddie just after the guitar solo, just as they did in life.

Yes! He had an extraordinary life & used it all in some way. Right from childhood, he was a musical prodigy. His mom told how he at age 4, could hear a song once & recreate it on the piano.

He joined his first band, called The Hectics, at 12. They were very popular playing for school audiences. At school he also played hockey, boxed & sprinted.

He could live without man. He could NOT live without MUSIC. He was a _slave_ to music's demands and Music needed Him just as much!

[@stanley2681]

thank you so much for reacting to hard life!!! i appreciate it

[@maryellwood3653]

..I prefer it's a hard life live in Rio....the song is fantastic...love your reactions....I think you're spot on...he often said in interviews he was happy to take risks in his music

[@Niamhcotts]

Queen are just the best thanks for getting me into them my friend.

[@rhondasilberberg6119]

Always love your reactions. You always have something of value to say.

[@sheerqueencat5089]

Spread Your Wings is a beautiful song. One of my favorite things about the video are the 'sketchy ' gloves a roadie gave Freddie to wear (duct tape, 😂😂)

[@celosemnexo]

"It's a hard life". Not my favorite Queen video. But the song is great! Have you done "Breakthru" already? Give it a try. I think you'll like it.

[@jeanarey5328]

I absolutely love when you react to Queen!

[@daedala70]

Thank you for reacting to some of their best tracks! I’m just reading Peter Freestones book and he describes how Freddie shot the video after injuring his knee. You can tell by the way he sits down in the last shot

[@judiek8995]

Love your “unboxing!” That was sweet!

[@bethford6007]

Thank you!

[@melaniejohnston583]

That’s my all time favorite concert I’m so jealous!!!

[@Lawyeris]

Great reaction, as always. Now you can try combo of The March of the black Queen + Headlong or The Millionaire Waltz + I'm going slightly mad

[@m1co294]

Some people on the set actually mocked Freddie's costume cause it made him look like a giant prawn

[@Niamhcotts]

Loved spread your wings.

[@rachelmartin8043]
