First Time Hearing | QUEEN "Under Pressure" (LIVE AT WEMBLEY) | REACTION!! 

Under Pressure ~ 1981 Ice Ice Baby ~ 1990 Ice lifted Deacy's bass riff, added a couple of notes and tried to pass it off as his own - it didn't work.

Freddie always said his favorite instrument was the audience

Thank you for coming back to Queen.- I tell you the way it usually works: The new reactors start out with Queen in order to grab as many subs as possible and then drop them like a hot rock. Some of us Queen fans might be a bit older models, but we are not ignorant to that fact. And after 20 Rap and Dimash reactions cancel our subscriptions. -- I have always enjoyed your calm personality and hang around. 😉Peace out ✌✌

Freddie Mercury had the best crowd control of all time ✌️

Vanilla Ice got famous on the back of the monstrously huge 1990 single “Ice Ice Baby,” a song that was recorded when you could still get away with releasing rap songs with uncleared samples. “Ice Ice Baby” famously sampled David Bowie and Queen’s 1981 classic “Under Pressure.” Once upon a time, Ice famously attempted to explain that the two basslines were slightly different. He added an additional beat to his version (yeah, like that really made a difference.) Ice now admits that he was being “a jackass” when he made that claim. Yet he is still being a jackass because in an interview on Dan Patrick’s sports-talk radio show, Ice claims he got out of the “Under Pressure” lawsuit issue by just straight-up buying “Under Pressure” from Queen. As in: He didn’t pay them off. A spokesman for Queen, however, tells Ultimate Classic Rock that Vanilla Ice’s statement is inaccurate: “An arrangement was made whereby the publishing of the song (Ice, Ice Baby) was shared.” The settlement was that Ice had to pay both Queen and David Bowie (who co-wrote and recorded "Under Pressure") reportedly millions but if Ice had actually asked to use the riff, Queen and Davie would have been generous in asking a small amount because they remember how hard the music business is to break into. He just pissed them off by stealing it and then trying to deny it. In addition, Queen and David Bowie were given writing credits for Ice Ice Baby. I guess we’ll all just have to reckon with the fact that maybe Vanilla Ice doesn’t know what the f**k he’s talking about.

Queen came out with this song before Vanilla Ice was born. He used their rhythm and ended up paying big time for it.

It's generally not beer, tea with honey and plain water, not very often will you see him drink beer, as far as the record is concerned John came up with the tune and Vanilla Ice tried passing the whole thing off as his own, if you listen to his record it's pretty much identical

I was at Wembley that night under the big spotlight ahead of Freddie in shots from behind, one of the best nights ever. Freddie loved that connection to the audience, so did we. Queen and David Bowie successfully sued VI for stealing the opening riff.

Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ Freddie Mercury is simply unique 🤩 the way he interacts with the audience is so endearing ❤️

Ice ripped it off of Queen and David Bowie

The studio had David Bowie and Freddy trading singing. Roger Taylor does some of the fill in on this. Highly recommend the Queen memorial concert with Annie Lennox and Bowie singing with the remaining Queen members.

Who Wants to Live Forever will show you a different side of Queen. Both studio and live versions are fantastic and different.

Freddie just agod music no body can top this guy,so true nothing like queen amazing band 4 talented musicians and freddie so unique love his stage presence his energy out of this world one of the greatest songs ever written legend miss him !! Great reaction❤🧡💛💯

This guitar rift was created by Queen bassist John Deacon,and the song was developed by Queen and David Bowie and became an international hit years before Vanilla Ice used it without permission. He was sued, and settled for a large amount of cash and had to give credit to both Bowie and Queen.

Nope VI stole the riff which was John Deacons . They lost their butts in a law suit which Queen won.

Vanilla Ice lifted the opening riff from Queen and David Bowie who co wrote Under Pressure. V I subsequently lost the legal suit that was brought against him and he was required to give credit to Queen and D B as well as pay significant damages. He tried to argue that he had made a small change but it was almost imperceptible. Queen and David Bowie donated the damages paid by Vanilla Ice to charity.

Great reaction, thanks! Check out Queen's performance of Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow 1974.

Vocal warms up is important, isn't it? 😉 Pls, check out the Dragon Attack at Montreal 81.

Thank you so much for going back to Queen, I love your reactions, please please more Queen.

Brilliant band❤❤❤ Sad loss when he left us❤

Do Queen “back chat “. Live 1982 in Milton Keynes 🔥🔥🔥thanks boss

A masterclass in crowd control 👏 👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘

Amazing performance my high schools years in 76 n 80

Great reaction! Thx! Love me some Queen!

Yes 🙌 I want to see more Queen 🙌🙂❤️ Thank you 🙏

Thanks ❤️!!!

When they were in Munich Queen and David Bowie decided to get together to make a record. John Deacon came up with the rift which he played all morning. Eventually they all went out for a pizza. When they came back apparently Deaky completely forgot the rift. Luckily Roger Taylor remembered it.

Yep, vanilla ice stole this rif...didn't ask permission...and queen and David bowie sued him and won.

Please.... more Queen. Might want to try See What a Fool i've Been. Another good one is Let Me Live. Also from the concert at Wembley is "Tie Your Mother Down" and "Now I'm Here"

I know Queen did not push/present itself as a 'message' band...so maybe it was the convergence of talents with David Bowie that pushed all of them to reach new heights with this one. Not only musically (John's bass line heard round the world) but lyrically. This song will resonate forever about those forgotten, left behind, unable to cope, at a loss, living on the fringe. And LOVE is the lifeline. A song that bursts out with a passion.

Live at Wembley best concert ever!

Truly most Queen songs were All hits!!!!❤ Just for yourself, watch their official video of “I want to break free”!! 😂

👉 Queen released UNDER PRESSURE in 1981 👉 V.I. released ICE ICE BABY in 1990 🧊🥶 👉 Which makes V.I. an unapologetic thief! 👉 Liked your reaction, thank you!

Every queen fan cringes at mention of ice ice baby but it's understandable. And really it made that base line even more famous. Thanks vanilla after he was sued to oblivion. Cue Freddy smirking from up high.

Can't listen to the beginning without starting to cry...

Okay, just to clarify: Are you under the impression that Queen stole the riff from Vanilla Ice? If so, LMAO.

The audience Wow

Check out Queen and Adam Lambert opening set for QEII Platinum Party, June 4, 2022

Ah, the iconic jacket. I still have to get my mom that.

Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ wonderful reaction 🤩 liked subscribed 😁 please react to princes of the universe the official video where Freddie Mercury interacts with Chris Lambert from the Highlander movie 😍

No one owned the stage like Freddy

I was there! 5/6 people back with my best mate.

Oh Freddy! Such a clown sometimes. Showman extraordinaire!

Bro did you just say that's where "They" aka Queen got the beat from? From Vanilla Ice???????? Wowww

I love your channel, have you looked at Queen live at Wembley 1986 it’s amazing

Amazing duet here. With Roger. The drummer. The drummer that was doing some outstanding drumming and singing fantastically. No? Didn’t notice? Not a word about that? All righty, then. 🙄

I really appreciate your reactions. You highlight Queen’s amazing talent. You may enjoy Queen songs Seven Seas of Rhy, Cool Cat, and their wonderful Teo Torriate done in Tokyo. Very fun songs. Keep up the good work, man.

Check out Fat Bottom Girls from Queens live performance at Milton Keynes in 1981

The beer isn't for him, Freddie drinks lemon and honey water for his voice!

Would you react to Cool Cat. By Queen?

John’s bass riff was the only good part of that silly song. I used to get excited whenever I heard it on the radio thinking it would be this song. The disappointment hit hard when I heard “ice ice baby” instead 😤

Everyone gets those two intros mixed up. You mostly just wait to see which one it is on the radio.

Vanilla ice* stole the song from Queen, they took him to court and won.

"charisma"

Vanilla ice hat den Riff von Queen gestohlen.
