First Time Hearing Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (Official Video) REACTION / REVIEW 

Brian May the guitarist said in an interview that Michael Jackson’s album thriller was inspired a lot by Queens music, and MJ was friends with Freddie. John Deacon the bassist wrote this song and he was in to a lot of disco and funk music, all the four band members wrote the music that’s why you have such a range in songs and genres. They also said in interviews when this song came out people thought that it was a black artist that sang the song and didn’t know about queen. They are truly amazing, my favourite band since I was little😍

Yup Queen is iconic to the point where even if their music is 40-50 years old, even if people don't know them, they left a lasting impact on culture. Even songs like "we will rock you" there's probably not a single American who wouldn't know that chorus. That's what I call lasting impact

Did he honestly just compare punk ass Drake to the remarkable talent of Queen?!?!?!?!

Hahahaha, of course you'd know this song! I love that y'all thought it was a black artist. Especially when it was written by the quietest member of the group, John Deacon the bassist who once said he never saw himself writing "a hard song". This is the best selling Queen single and it all happened because Michael Jackson heard it and told them they had to release it as a single. This song has quite the history! They always insisted the reason they lasted so long and had so many hits was because the four of them were such different individuals. All four members wrote a number 1 hit, that's almost unheard of.

Another One Bites The Dust is a song written by the bassist, John Deacon, and it's from the album The Game from 1980. It is currently the most successful single Queen has ever had in USA, selling over 3 million copies. This song was close to not even make it on the album, which seems crazy looking at it now. The fact that it became a single is due largely to Michael Jackson, who was attending their US concerts a lot at the time and was good friends with the band and especially Freddie. It was Michael who suggested they should release this as a single upon hearing it, guaranteeing an instant hit, which we all know now it was. Also, when the song hit the US radios, a lot of those radios were picking the song up, thinking Queen was a black band, largely due to the funkiness edge that this song has and the song got heard by a large black audience who as well thought they were a black band. This is one of the many reasons, why Queen are the best and most versatile rock group in history. They've scored worldwide hits with opera/rock songs, love songs, ballads, hard rock anthems, funk anthems, etc. Thanks guys, for reacting to my favorite band!

I recommend the full live at live aid by queen

React to Killer Queen, their first BIG hit song.

When this song came out it got played on black stations and there were people that thought they were black. And Michael Jackson heard the song before they put it out and told them they should release it as a single. Luckily they took Michael's advice.

John Deacon's bass line was inspired by "Good Times" by the disco group Chic. In an interview with NME, Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards stated, "That Queen record came about because that Queen bass player... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio." Recording sessions - produced by Reinhold Mack at Musicland Studios in Munich (West Germany) - consisted of Deacon playing almost all instruments: bass guitar, piano, electric guitar, and hand claps. Roger Taylor added a drum loop and Brian May contributed noises with his guitar and an Eventide Harmonizer. There are no synthesizers in the song: all effects are created by piano, electric guitars and drums, with subsequent tape playback performed in reverse at various speeds. Finally, sound effects were run through the harmonizer for further processing. The effect of the harmonizer can be heard clearly in the "swirling" nature of the sound immediately before the first lyric. In early live performances, Taylor sang lead on the chorus, as opposed to the studio version sung entirely by Mercury. As the song became more well-known, the band could rely on audiences to sing the chorus by themselves. If you want to be blown away, watch Live Aid 1985. You'll see why this performance has been voted the best live rock performance ever. Watch how Freddie mesmerizes the audience and holds them in the palm of his hand, it's magical. Live Aid: Live Aid was a dual-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia and West Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast. If accurate, this would be nearly 40% of the world population at the time. Unbelievable, just imagine 1.9 billion people watching this performance around the world. Queen, stole the show and there were approximately 75 other acts performing during the program. Can you imagine all of this?

Watch Bohemian Rhapsody and make a video discussing the movie

You should react to Queen at live aide. Most iconic rock performance in history. Watch how Freddie controls a crowd...its mesmerizing

The only reason that song became a hit was because of Michael Jackson. They weren't even going to include it on their album, let alone release it as a single. They were going to scrap it. MJ was adamant and predicted it would be a hit. Thank you Michael(rip😥)

Great reaction as usual. You should react to I Want to Break Free and The Show Must Go On

Michael Jackson actually suggested to Queen to release this as a single. Ended up being their only number 1 hit in the US.

It was MJ who actually suggested to Queen to release this song as a single &...BOOM!

Don't feel bad. I'm 63 and so they were from "my era" but I was too into soul and r&b to listen to rock. I only started listening to the about 5 yrs ago and like you all, I was amazed by the amount of iconic songs are by them. I ended up watching documentaries and just watched Bohemian Rhapsody twice. It covers just a slice but shows us how they worked together even though they were all so different. (Kinda reminds me of BTS in terms of how they're all different but fit together to make a family and how they are willing to try different genres of music) I have been subscribed since you all started reacting to BTS and I really enjoy you all so thank you!

You can't tell me that you haven't heard this song. That's like saying you never heard Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. It's impossible

Love your reaction, dudes 😎🤘 From a hardcore Queen-fan from Norway

Freddie was ice cold...man, he cool

Michael Jackson is actually the one who urged Queen to release this song

Queen had many sounds because all 4 members wrote #1 hits for the band. Another one bites the dust was written by the bass guitar player while Bohemian Rhapsody was written by Freddie himself. See the difference. All 4 members were great writers singers and performers.

Fun facts: Freddie didn’t know if he wanted to release this song, and Michael Jackson was the one who encouraged him to release it because he loved it so much. MJ was also seen in the backstage of a queen concert with the band. Freddie and Michael made a collaboration on a song together 😉

this song was written by one of the most underrated bassists John Deacon (the bassist of Queen) he created some of the most iconic bass riffs. Fun Fact he came up with the bass riff at the start of Under Pressure, when he came up with the riff for under pressure he played it over and over again, they went out for pizza and they got back to find that John forgot it but the drummer Roger Taylor remembered it.

Written by John Deacon, the bass playerm hit #1.

Queen - Show must go on

Not only did this song go number one on billboard, but it also went number one on billboard's R&B chart

Killer Queen, I Want To Break Free, We Will Rock You, Somebody To Love, Fat Bottom Girls, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Under Pressure, Flashes Theme

Please react to Bohemian rhapsody movie trailer 3 and Youre my best friend music video by Queen

I'd love for you to react to 'Those Were the days of Our Lives'. The last music video Freddie recorded before he died.

Just subscribed last night after watching you guys for the first time, awesome channel, will definitely be looking into Patreon soon. Keep ‘em comin’ gentlemen! Great work!

You should react to the first thrash speed metal song by Queen “Stone Cold Crazy”

Loving your Queen reactions guys. Hope you diversify into some of the other classic bands like Led Zeppelin , ACDC , Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd etc

This song legit makes anyone dance 😂😂😂

Somebody to Love, Live at Montreal. Amazing.

Lol; I think you’ll be as shocked as I was to find out how many great songs these guys put out, many I knew but didn’t know it was them.

You need to react to 1981 live in Montreal somebody to love it’s freaking amazing

My 5 year old sings it word by word, hey mum put another one bites the dust, I just said don't sing it when someone is sick 🤗

there is a vid on youtube that shows how they made bohemian rhapsody. it's called "Inside The Rhapsody". check it out. also, vid of them making "One Vision". it's called "Queen-Making of One Vision". You can even see more by tying in "Making of Queen Songs" and a bunch come up. enjoy!!

Just subscribed. Love your reactions to Queen. Being an older girl, I was lucky enough to see them live. I love your appreciation of real talent and the fun you're having, getting to know Freddie and Queen. Greetings from Germany😊

You guys gotta react to fat bottomed girls another truly iconic queen classic

This was done with 3 instruments.it was all live. No keyboards. The red was Brian mays guitar he and his father made when he was 17 yrs old out of junk around the house. They couldn’t afford a new one. This guitar is still used. It was a one of a kind.

Stone cold crazy should be next. Another totally different style of song

Don't compare queen to anybody, bec they are out of the box, no one can replace them, thank you

Yes!! One of my favourite Queen songs!!

two of my favorite live performances are Queen at Live Aid (considered one of the best rock performances in history since it was a charity event and there were a bunch of HUGE names at the time performing and Freddie and the rest of the band were able to completely control a crowd of 100,000 people that weren't even all there for them.. insane) and then Somebody To Love live in Montreal 1981 because Freddie really showcases his vocal ability and his stage presence so it really is something amazing to witness! Highly recommend both of them

the making of this song was shown in the movie.. you definitely need to watch it. cheers guys!

Queen weren't going to use another one bites the dust but Michael Jackson persuaded them to put it on the album

I will never forget..the day Freddie passed away of AIDS, an Atlanta DJ announced his death and then played this song as a straight up slam. People were pissed and he was fired immediately.

You might want to watch the documentary of Queen recording the song "One Vision". If nothing else it explains how the last line, "Give Me, Give Me Fried Chicken" ended up on the track.

This year is Queen's 50th anniversary - what are you going to do? How about their landmark LIVE AID 21 minute set - great sampler of songs and killer charisma from Freddie. Will steal your hearts!

freddie and Michael jackson were big fans of each other and actually worked together. There's a song called "there's more to life than this" that's both freddie and Michael. This song became their best selling record ever topping both the pop and disco charts and got to #2 on the soul chart. According to the bass player (who wrote the song) Michael was actually the person who convinced them to release it as a single!! Just some fun facts for you guys!

MJ was inspired by Queen. If you ever have to ask who took what and was influenced from and by who, know it was the other that took and was influenced by QUEEN. True originals. True legends. Even your favorite legend MJ was influenced by Queen, guys. So no, it doesn’t sound like MJ. MJ sounds like Queen.

Years ago when in high school this song was played everyday on the intercom system after winning each round on the way to the boy's basketball state championship. That was really fun times🏀🏀🏀

You should watch We are the champions studio session.Its them doing the song so it shows what they were doing

The live one is much more fun lol

Do "Somebody to love" Live 81 Montreal

Listen to Queen perform “Under Pressure” and you will notice it sounds a little familiar. This is the song Vanilla Ice is accused of sampling without permission. They do a duet with David Bowie.

React to Queen "Princes of the Universe"

Crazy little thing called love, is another one of queen's biggest songs, CIO

I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippieTo the hip hip hop-a you don't stop the rockIt to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogieTo the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

You don't speak when you listen to QUEEN . respect the greatest band , who wrote al, there songs, and play all instruments , sing and play live . This is what real talent is, your welcome

This song reminds me of 7th grade.......John, Jimmy and Dean doing the beat with their feet and hand. Back in the 80's

As far as I knew, at the time this came out, I do not think many Black people knew that they were not black. Or even from the US for that matter. It became a memorable and popular song all based on the feel, the rhythm, the pulse of the bass, the drive of the guitar w/o a solo involved.

Listen to killer queen - so camp & so great (not sure you use the term 'camp' in the US, but camp in its truest form means FREDDIE)

To the best of my knowledge, no other group has so much success. Individually. EVERY member of Queen has credit with writing THREE top-of-charts song EACH. No other group has that accolade. That’s 12 hits between 4 people. AND that’s not including the songs they just gave writing credit to “Queen” True legends in music. “Influential” is right bro

Fact: another one bites the dust has exactly 100 beats per minute, you can follow the beat to do CPR to save a live

TRIVIA: Backwards, it sounds like, "It's fun to smoke marijuana" xD

Mj was a big fan of queen and actually got them to release this song cuz he liked it so much the song another on bites the dust was on the album "the game" it came out in 1980 as well as the album "hot space" that came out in 1982 has obvious influence on mj album thriller

If you guys like guitar solos and funk/soul I highly recommend Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood, and AC/DC Back in Black!

the term another one bites the dust was around long before queen but they surely made it more popular in the seventies also we will rock you and another one bites the dust are probably the most played sports events anthems

React to somebody to love live plzzzzzzzz

Fun fact, it was Michael Jackson who told them to release this as a single. Their biggest selling single in America

Your learning quickly just keep listening to Queen

I'm a complete drum nut - even though Freddie isn't in this - I can watch this over and over and over (actually I do)

Please react to Queen Death on two legs, Innuendo, Somebody to love live in Montreal. They are just sooo good!!!

I'm sad you guys didnt do your reaction to bohemian rhapsody trailer and movie review I really do enjoy your reactions keep up the good work 🙌🏻

The bass player John Deacon wrote this and it was put on the album. Michael Jackson was at their concert and told them they needed to make this a single. They did and it hit number 1 in the US for like 9 weeks.

just some facts, John Deacon ( the bassist) who created this catchy groovy beat , spent quite lot of time with Chic band, because he really likes Good Times from chic. Funny thing also they initially didnt want to release it into single , until Michale Jackson told them it was a great track. :)

Under Pressure is another one that might surprise you.

this made me so happy. i have been listening to queen and this song for for 10 years.

The Haitian Prince: Go see Bohemian Rhapsody!! How the songs were developed is explained. Brian and Roger had influence on the screenplay, up to the point of fighting to keep a certain scene in the movie. I won't say which one...so no Spoiler. It took 8 years to bring it to the movies after 20th Century Fox green lit the deal, because Sacha Baron Cohen dropped out in 2013. Cohen wanted the movie to focus on only Freddie, and to dramatize his lifestyle; whereas, Brian and Roger wanted the movie to focus on the band as a unit. This is why it's called Bohemian Rhapsody and not Mercury. As the saying goes, Good things come to those who wait!

Queen did the amazing theme music for the Highlander movies & TV series. Check out "Princes of the Universe" & "Who Wants to Live Forever". Also, to experience the full range of Freddy's music, check out his duet with opera diva, Montserrat Caballe (they adored each other) "Barcelona!".

Why do I get so hype when I see rttv has new videos out?! After watching the videos, you guys should breakdown the lyrics. You guys have amazing perspective

Fun fact: MJ told them to release this as a single because it was funky and Black people would love it. He was right,as usual lol

Great reaction guy's

You MUST react to, "Another One Rides the Bus" by Al Yankovic

freddie lived in new york i guess from '79-'80 till '82-ish, hardcore partying so that scene influenced his image and queen's music at that time

The fact that most people forget: Freddie Mercury was born in Africa. (Zanzibar)

somebody to love Montreal Live please

so many happy fun and interesting memories listening to this....and seeing it through your eyes!! love it

💃🏻 love that funky rock!

Queen Live Aid !!! Their best performance!

This is cool and all ( Queen one of my all time Faves) but i've been waiting to days for your next GOT review, dammit!

Funny enough I think it was Micheal Jackson ( who was friends with Freddie Mercury ) who convinced Freddie to use this song cause he had a feeling it would be a smash hit and he was right.

Fun fact: Michael Jackson actually influenced Queen to drop this as a single and the rest, as they say, is history

pat was feeling himself lmaoo turn up!

True story about this song: It's a funny thing you mention Michael Jackson because the inspiration for the thriller album came from music Michael Jackson heard from queen. Michael Jackson, you see, was a Queen fan, having a tendency of seeing the band live whenever they were in the Los Angeles area until one night he was invited backstage to see the band and became fast friends with frontman Freddie Mercury. Michael Jackson was invited by queen to the studio and queen let him hear a lot of stuff they made. Michael Jackson love everything he heard but it wasn't until he got a taste of the song "another one bites the dust" that he really let up. Michael raved about the song and against every other member of the bands wishes actually convinced Freddy to release it. Queen left America with their first and only number one hit in the states and Michael Jackson left that studio night in which direction his then next album was to go in. A little ditty you may have heard of called… Thriller.

Let me just say I’m so done with pat over there dancing through the whole song but going back to normal like nothing happened when the song is paused 😂😂😂 but I’m glad you guys enjoyed this song it’s amazing!🤩

You gotta react to Somebody To Love and Bohemian Rhapsody!!!!!

As funky as it wants to be!
