CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD!! | Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (Official Video) 

So true!

Usually about 4

THAT RIGHT THERE is what makes Queen truly GREAT! Know it or not, EVERYBODY knows and LOVES at least one of their songs (most usually more like half a dozen)... They just don't always know it's a Queen original. ;o)

uh sound tracks to " Flash Gordon !" as well as "High Lander"...who wants to live forever with his love Heather....thats a pass the tissue moment for this old tuff guy.

100%

That's cool, and something I didn't know.

Look at Roger chewing gum and chillin' like it's just another day at work!

I didn't know that. What are the others?

Fuckin awesome. And of course it's Queen. Love it.

Think that the Beatles might have something to say about that.

"The Show Must Go On" and "Mother Love" still get me when I hear them

From what I have read, even when he was bed ridden. He still wanted to get up and make music.

@@christinascherer4807 yep and their last video These are the days of our life he was super super sick and it took them forever to make but he didn't give up or quit.

Is. Not was.

Iconic🤣🤣

it sure doesn't. I've been a fan of Queen for over 30 years. I love seeing these reactions and the SHOCK when people realize how amazing they are.

the bass is SICK!

Dragon Attack is another great song from same album.

And Freddie plays rhythm guitar in that one.

Chains by fleetwood Mac has a great baseline too! In the U.K. there’s loads of people who watch formula 1 who hear to song and when it gets to the bass solo their like “omg the f1 theme tune”! It really is good though he should react to that song!

Have you listened to Young Lust by Pink Floyd?

💯

Love John Deacon!!

I believe this is also the only song that was writted by John Deacon! Though I could be wrong.

@@Chozo_Ghost You're wrong. He wrote the great "You're my best friend" .. and several more.

Chozo Ghost He wrote a few more. He wrote “You’re My Best Friend,“ which was another huge huge hit for Queen. Under Pressure, I Want to Break Free, a few more. He’s such a cool bass player. He really keeps to himself now, he does not like to be around crowds or any of that anymore.

Lydia Joy he never got over loosing Freddie, I’m with him, by the time I even knew about Freddie or Queen he was already gone! I’m forever in love with a gay man who’s already dead 😢

There was much talk of Freddie and Michael working together; Imagine THAT

Wow! Didn't know that. Thx.

This is true. Michael and Freddie were good friends.

😁

It sold about 3 million copies in the US alone. Imagine those kinds of numbers today!

Most iconic bass line ever

@Johnon - He was my favorite since the 70's. Saw Queen live and his bass blew you off your feet in every song. He also sang back up in concert more than most people realize.

@Johnon - True. Inventor of Brian's amp that gave Queen their unique sound, financial whiz that saved them from going broke and breaking up, great bassist and songwriter of over 20 Queen songs and amazing bass lines. He was totally cool by being uncool. No big ego, just bopping to the beat in the background. He didn't care for fame but the love of music drew him like a moth. Someone said him not playing any more is like having a Ferrari in the garage and not driving.

Every band should have a stealth weapon like John Deacon.

If memory serves, it was a reference both to the violence of prohibition era mobsters/gangsters and to lovers quarrels when one partner puts other things before their relationship. This song is full acceptance of the violence of life and being a willing participant in it. It's an "if I can't win I'm taking you with me" disregarding what peace there may be. The lyrics tell the story: Steve walks warily down the street With his brim pulled way down low. Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, Machine guns ready to go. "Are you ready? hey, are you ready for this? Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?" Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat ... (another one bites the dust, counting the dead here, and on the return home a screaming match with their partner and the end of them with seething resentment) A. "How do you think I'm going to get along Without you when you're gone?!" B. "You took me for everything that I had And kicked me out on my own! Are you happy, are you satisfied!?" A. "How long can you stand the heat??" Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat, look out! A. "Oh take it - Bite the dust. bite the dust" Hey, Another one bites the dust. Another one bites the dust, ow. Another one bites the dust he he. Another one bites the dust haaaa .... Ooh... shoot out. (Another relationship gone, dead piling up. Steve fully abandons any hessitation he had. Again, this reflected the bootlegging gangsters of the minigun era, imagine mob movies like the God father) B. "There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man, And bring him to the ground. You can beat him. You can cheat him. You can treat him bad and leave him When he's down. But I'm ready yes, I'm ready for you I'm standing on my own two feet." Out of the doorway the bullets rip Repeating to the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust ... Hey I'm gonna get you too. Another one bites the dust, Shoot out!

Euphemistically getting revenge ( not literally committing murder but euphemistically killing the other person through slander )

@@GrifoStelle I believe it was written telling the story of the St. Valentines Day Massacre a pure mob shootout

😅there seems to be many interpretations here to this song. I always thought it was about people dying from drug addiction. In particular Angel Dust.

John the most funkiest among them.. He sometimes do 360° spin in stadium gig he like another one try to bite his shoe🤧

Both songs by a man who was unapologetically gay :)

That's how I was, with the Rolling Stones. Once I started hunting them dow to listen, I realized I knew a whole lot of the words already. "Impossible! How could I NEVER have bought a Stones album, before now!?"

I was 1 of them for a while. 😏

It is a great song. Puts me in a good mood every time I listen to it

Cintia Silva another favourite of mine from late in their career, and heavier for them.....Headlong....love it!

My absolute favorite Queen song. You can't be in a bad mood when listening to it.

🎯

You think he's ready?

Yes!!!! I drug my mom all over the mall looking for the perfect pair of tight ass Jordache! 😂😂😂

Jordache AND Sergio Valente!!! 👖

@@k_spats Yes!!!

@@scarletjohnston741 Yes!! I even had a pair of Sasson jeans that my Mother threw out because they were too tight, lol. I was crushed!!

@@jacqueline4514 I bet you're still mad about that 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😅 anybody want to tell him that Freddy's moves aren't for the ladies?😂 or are we just going to let this one go?🤣😂

@@xaira1186he swung both ways, if I recall correctly

. . . your words bring tears of love . . . wonderful truth.

Facts, man!

@THE WALKING BLUES Most definitely!

Gotta listen to under pressure with freddie and David Bowie. You won't regret it.

When Queen hired the new guy I quit them.

exactly, darling❤

Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson are great at making performances... but no one beats Freddie

I think it helped that it was clear he never took himself *too* seriousl. Similar as being a real nasty comic, if there's a sense of genuine innocence under it all it plays off so well. Freddie so clearly had that in him, from songs like this to cutesty things like Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy he just had expressed the human range of emotion so truly.

Yes he was! I had the biggest crush on him as a kid.

Absolutely 💖

I’m a Nola girl too!

Hi, from Natchez.

Me too

He was Queens "Secret Weapon" Two best Bass Lines ever

He wrote the bass line while in the studio with the band "Chic" in NYC.

This song caused a big stink at some shows of the Game Tour due to many blacks showing up and not knowing Queen were a rock band! I swear this was one reason Freddie and Deacy followed up with the Hot Space LP to maybe wooo some of them back with that R’NB /FUNK/Dance LP.

i was 11 and was just turned on to LED ZEPPELIN by my older sisters boyfriend.and QUEEN was next.and here i am today 52 and still ROCK & ROLL

It was released 22nd August 1980 (in the UK) and 12th August 1980 in the US. Where did you get ‘79 from?

🙋🏾‍♀️ Hiya TheSlyNinja 💁🏾‍♀️ It’s obvious that Emme didn’t bother to look-up the stats of when the song was officially released and were simply goin’ by their memory as a KID. It’s not that serious really✌🏾!

@@theslyninja7526 produced in 79'released in 80'..

Yeeeesss!!!!

I was going to comment the same thing!

Best in music is such an arbitrary term. On some days I agree with that. On others, for me many other choices Vai for attention. I've (mostly) always said there is no "bad" music. Ifn YOU like it, it's good.

How rude of them!

😵 wow

WTUE or WVUD?

@@michaelmorrow8198 I actually don't recall. But it was a tough couple of years there. It was the same time that there were concert goers killed in the stampede at a The Who concert, too.

I'm from Dayton. I was ten when all that happened. It might have been WEBN in Cincy. OR WKRP

Oh hell yes!

That may be, but has he reacted to the song yet?

Here ya go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QlroQuCsMAg.html

@@SPAMDAGGER22 , that was a good one! 😄 Mad props to you.

@@SPAMDAGGER22 omg lmao 😂 what a belter. 👍

100%. And not the one from Montreal where the crowd sucked so much.

🔥🔥🔥👍😎

We old

I have that silver/black vinil, its the kind of album you listen to both side and its great.

Lol my dad hated this song! My sister and I loved it!

I like the Live in Montreal 1981 the best. You get to see more of Roger in that one. ♡

@I'm Weak For Deaky I see we're both still roaming around RU-vid, always on the lookout for Queen reactions. Just wanted to say Hi, Honey!👋 Oh, & of course I second your comment.💙🌿💚

Deborah Cornell Hi Deborah !

Deaky!

Donnalea Spencer Donnalea !!!

Yessss!

I want it all would be a great choice.

Totally! Anything from Live Aid 1985.

Yeah, bite the dust comes from losing a old west gunfight and falling face down in the dirt street. I am surprised that more people are not aware of it. Also clues to it meaning that someone was not only defeated, but shot dead are the lyrics "Steve walks slowly down the street, brim pulled way down low, ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine gun ready to go" followed by (& repeated later) "outta the doorway the bullets rip to the sound of the beat". And later he says "it's a shootout" While his song is not about a western style gunfight, it is definitely about a shootout with machine guns of some sort. I always pictured "Steve" having a tommygun like in the '30's myself.

@@Saltyzwiggy Grew up rural, so around a LOT of old westerns back in the day... I kind of always got the impression he was influenced into the "Steve" character from Steve McQueen... just a thought. ;o)

Yes! I must have heard that it was based on the St Valentines massacre long ago...because I had always pictured Steve carrying a tommygun.
