First Time Listening | Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody 

This band was one of the most talented groups ever. Just as an example, the guitarist is not just a great guitarist, but vocalist and song writer as well...and has a Ph.D. in astrophysics and does scientific research. Yes, these people are THAT GOOD!

Beautiful and iconic song that I have been listening to since it was dropped in 1975. I still love it and I still listen to it all the time. Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Yes, Queen had great harmonies and outstanding musicianship. They all wrote songs so their catalog is a little bit of everything but it is all fantastic.

Take 4 geniuses and put them together. All incredible musicians who when combined made incredible music. Love and miss you forever Freddie 🙏💞🙏💞

Although I have heard, and seen, this thousands of times since it first appeared in 1975 I still love it as much as I did the first time. Four great musicians with the best frontman of any band ever, Freddie Mercury the GOAT. You're right about the guitar sound, nothing better. If you want to hear the best ever guitar solo look at "Comfortably Numb" on Pink Floyd's "Pulse" live album, guitar at its absolute best.

this is the best song ever written. nobody sang like Freddie.

Side note: Brian May, the guitarist, is a legit genius, as in he's an Astrophysicist in his spare time....

How delicately Brian May touches his those guitar notes is so emotionally powerful and complimentary to this dramatic song. A Classic, very well done. ♥

Freddie came up with the idea of this track, producers said he was crazy mixing opera with rock

Well you will see everybody say Somebody To Love Montreal 81 it is AMAZING a 4 man wall of sound. Freddie was inspired by Areatha he loved Areatha

Freddie Mercury was working on 3 different songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this masterpiece. Never a song quite like it before or since. The very first part of the song, with the beautiful harmony, is actually all Freddie on multiple tracks.

Greatest rock song ever written

I remember this song as it touched my heart with the lyrics, vocals, and harmonies indelibly.

Queen and Led Zeppelin, best bands of all time in my opinion.

One of the BEST songs I ever heard! What talent! What creativity!

Greatest rock song ever! I saw this in 1975 when I was 10, can you imagine the shock and awe of a 10yr old playing air guitar and diving around the room

Yes, they all dead ass like this, and no they wouldn’t stop. LOL we love Queen!

HEY HONEY, THANK YOU for the Queen reaction.... I literally cannot go through a day without my daily dose of Freddie! I subscribed in the hopes that you'll react to MORE QUEEN & FREDDIE MERCURY. BTW, Queen is the only band who are renowned for being BETTER LIVE than in the studio... So, for the most part, reacting to their live performances IS the way to go! JUST IN CASE YOU TAKE REQUESTS, COULD YOU PLEASE REACT TO: "SOMEBODY TO LOVE" LIVE AT MILTON KEYNES BOWL IN 1982

The Queen library is very large, it has multiple styles and an array of singers, costumes and audiences, it's impossible to get bored. Many will recommend various live/studio tracks and all will be worth your time, but beware, there are a few "unusual" videos, Queen fans will know what I mean. Enjoy your digging, this is a deep hole.

Hi Queen🤗, Awesome reaction to such a legendary song by a legendary group! Queen is 1 of my top 5 favorite bands of all time!

Loved your reaction.......there are masterpieces and then there's Bohemian Rhapsody

Freddie was so beautiful. The whole world has lost a priceless treasure 🌹❤️🌹

I was raised on Queen. This song actually came out the year I was born (1975). Glad I love them since we share a name lol

Hahahaha! You just crack me UPPPPPPP!! This song immediately turns me into an opera star!

Him hollerin to his mama that he didn't mean to hurt her (make her cry) is so sad, telling her to act as if it didn't matter that he threw his life away (murder) is so sad! It really pulls at your heart strings.

Hi Queen... Meet Queen. ❤️🔥

Thank you Queen B I knew you would love this most amazing song ever created so sad Freddie left us so early god bless him x x

Stellar in Concert, Just INCREDIBLE...🎶🎵🎶🎹🎸🎧 Love the reaction

So many emotions of shock, sadness, regret, dread, sorrow, fear, anger, apathy.

This is THE "I wasn't ready" song ...

One of the best reactions I've seen on this song.

The 70s is the greatest music of all times. We had every type of music.

Nobody's ready lol! Great vib.

Rhapsody is a characteristic musical piece of romanticism composed of different thematic parts freely united and without any relationship between them. This song recreates the myth of "Faust" in four blocks. The ballad, where he confesses a murder to his mother, and says goodbye to her. The Opera buffa, where the judgment of his soul is recreated, where angels and demons discuss condemnation or forgiveness. The Rock part, where the Devil makes his plea, saying that he cannot escape his sentence, nor live a life dedicated to evil, and then pretend to betray him, with excuses such as that he has had an unjust life. And the final section, where he reflects, and does not care about condemnation or forgiveness, since he has always lived according to the circumstances or how the wind turned ... (Leaving to free interpretation, according to the lyrics or classical musical language, that Freddie knew a lot about that, if he was convicted or saved) Just how i see it.

That harmony in the first part is all Freddie. Yes, you can see all 4 band members singing but the voice that you hear is all Freddie's.

Girl! Just love you! So fun watching you and ALL your content! Thank you!

Queen = Legend. Freddie was dying of Aids. This song was very personal. The 80’s was the decade of death with Aids RIP ❤

This 1975 masterpiece is what we call Rock Opera. Some other classics include Pink Floyd "The Wall", The Who "Tommy" Meat Loaf "Bat out of Hell" (he recently died RIP) Freddie meant to basically take the listener on a journey, to be interpreted by that person however way he/she feels by the end of the song. It can have different meaning every time you listen to it. Each part is meant to be different - sad, remorseful, scared, hope, anger, rebellion, resignation & surrender so we end up with 3 songs in one, that takes ya on a roller coaster ride.

I love your energy. And I love seeing you enjoy them as much as you do. You should consider checking out their full performance from Live Aid back in 1985. With close to 70 different acts, most agree that Queen stole the show. If you’re unfamiliar with Live Aid, do a quick search to see what it was all about. NO ONE commands a stage AND audience like Freddie can. And trust me, the Live Aid performance is around 20 minutes but if feels incredibly short. I’ve never seen anyone comment, after doing it, that it was too long. People shared concerns it might be too long. However, the performance is so mind blowing that people watching the reactions to it don’t seem to mind how long it is either. It will blow your mind. 👉🏻🤯

That was one of the better reactions I've seen for this video. Sweet dreams! ❤✌

Queen, 1981 live Montreal “Somebody To Love”

I can't believe there are still people who doesn't know this band and their songs..

THIS MUSIC NEEDS TO COME BACK....IT MAKES YOU FEEL SOMETHING GOOD!

Hey Queen, if you like Queen in their early days you should check out "White Queen" A night at the Odeon, Hammersmith 1975 and "Lap of the Gods " Freddie's piano playing is amazing as is Brian's guitar! I guarantee you will definitely be blown away by the talent of these two!

I’m so glad you liked this. How can antibody not? Enjoyed your reaction.

This song was one of the most talked about songs in the 90s because of one scene from the film WAYNES WORLD. In the 90s everyone woulld be headbanging to this song everytime it came on because of Waynes World

Their concert at Wimbledon had over 100,000 people.

Man one of my favorite bands ...Incredible performers incredible everything ..love this song ...singing head off in Cyprus thanku so so much you are so lovely much love and God bless always x

The 1st part of the song is all Freddie multitracking his voice. Big rabbit hole! All 4 members played multiple instruments, all wrote #1 hits, all are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, all college educated. You’re sure to get many suggestions!

i have loved Queen since the early 70's until i saw Def leppard in concert Queen was my #1 best concert I have seen

Welcome to Freddie's rabbit hole. Why not stay and discover Queen's whole catalogue. They never issued a turkey. In UK where they started, almost everyone from 10 to 80 knows the words, and every note of this song. If a couple of people start singing it there's a choir in 10 seconds.

Really liked your reaction. Check out Somebody to Love in Montreal, I think you will really like it.

Iconic band and the greatest front man, Freddie RIP

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love (Official Music Video). Since you mentioned liking the sound of an electric guitar, this is blues based hard rock.

Guitar player Brian May and singer Freddy Mercury both founder the band,Brian the co-founder.

Queen B, It's Bohemian Rhapsody That's The Name, Enjoy.

Greatest song amd group ever. Freddy is the GOAT and thee lead guitarist is a PHD in Astro Physics: a genius both

What a ride, Beautiful!!

a bit of context: the man he "killed" was ... himself ! Or at least the man his family thought he was: this is a coming out song. Saying he's gay and they did not accept it...

it always amazes me people dont think the know queen if you have been to or watched a televised sporting event you will know queen

Like your reaction you cannot to love this masterpiece written by the most talented singer ever walked this planet only he could some thing genius like this called rock opera so keep going make more queen you'll like it

Great reaction!

Queen is legendary! You should react to Pentatonix cover. Took them 5 years to arrange it and release it. They KNEW it had to be perfect! After release Brian May gave them a shot out on his social media page! PTX did this song justice! In their video the “sky scene” is tribute to Brian May and his Ph.D. It’s amazing! You will love and appreciate it! Remember PTX is vocals only! ❤️

The message was he was coming out as gay and the person his parents had him as his died. The whole song is his coming out. Even thought he was out for a while ha.

To me, I feel that weird section of "Galileo/Figaro/Magnifico singing part helps to portray the subject's chaotic feelings during his trial, condemnation, his lawyers begging to spare his life....

Freddie Mercury came from a very religious family, was gay and this song came after he found out he had aids. This song is about coming to terms with that.

Oh my, this is my all time favorite group! A masterpiece that will have no equal. Freddie Mercury was taken too soon. You can say that in the 70’s and 80’s we were a very accepting generation as everyone knew Freddie was gay but no one cared. His talents overshadowed everything else. He was loved by the rock and roll crowd everywhere.

nice video friendly piece of advice never pause during the guitar solos it'll freak everybody out

MORE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!

Love your reacton to my music I grew up with

You should react to The Show Must Go On recorded when Freddie was extremely ill and knew he was dying.

Check out Queen of the night Aria, by Mozart. I recommend Diana Damrau singing.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was counting down to the change. Lol.

Watch the crowd of over 60,000 sing it perfectly while waiting for a Green Day concert!

OMG! YOU MUST LISTEN TO "QUEEN" SOMEBODY TO LOVE! OMG!!!!!!

Oh what a rabbit hole you've entered, girl! It's rather crass to suggest "best" songs when it comes to our Queen, but as others have suggested, Live Aid is a must as is Love of My Life live in Rio, Someone to Love live in Montreal, Under Pressure at Wembley... you get the picture. Queen live is something else, although yes, I Want to Break Free video will blow your mind. Freddie loved to involve the audience and his callbacks are famous, which is why I suggest Under Pressure at Wembley next. Makes one proud to be British. Good hunting!

Number one Christmas 1975 - the record company didn't think it would do anything as it was too long for radio. The film cost 500 pounds to make. Everything was analogue, no digital and stereo sound was a new thing. He killed the man he was and the song expressed the conflict of the whole matter.

The single greatest song in history.

Somebody to love at Wembley amazing Now im here at Wembley amazing

Brian May. Guitar. Unique.

He is harmonizing by himself at the beginning. You will never figure out the meaning of this song.

Love Queen 💕❤️Freddie Mercury 💃. Wasn’t they beautiful in those days 💕❤️- long black hair and black fingernails 😘and so skinny on the brink off starvation. It was told that Freddie in this period only eat once a week ( the didn’t earn any money) when he got home to his mom and get her nutrishes persian stew. Carry on with their early music ( The Marc of the Black Queen/ White Queen/ In the Lap off the Gods/ Lilly of the Valley and so on) Gorgeous music and gorgeous guys ❤️❤️❤️🥳Best from Norway

The guitar player made that guitar himself and the red guitar in the video it got stolen at a concert was missing for around 40 years before a fan bought it at an auction met the guitar player Brian May couple years back and he asked the fan are you selling it and how much? The fan said no, the guitar player looked disappointed and sad and the fan said, because I am going to give it to you the guitar player perked up and looked surprised the fan gave that guitar in the video back to him and the guitar player explained where and how the guitar got stolen and he asked around and got rumours it was out of the country it was here it was there not knowing if it was true or not.

Welcome to the Queen's rabbit hole! They have no autotune software, synthesizers or other tech shits!...but just raw talents! But beware of common side effects: denial, depression, bargaining, anger, acceptance and maybe(!) more 😰

This song is sometimes misinterpreted. Some think he’s talking about killing someone but he’s talking about himself because he was dying of AIDS and apologizing to his mom. He says goodbye to everyone. This still makes me tear up because I did lose two people very close who died of this horrible disease. RIP

If you like the harmony, check out The Eagles.

When you hit pause you restarted instead and didn't even notice.

1978 New Orleans Queen Halloween Concert and after party at the Fairmont Hotel. Concert wasn't their best, but the after party was the stuff of legion. One party attendee stated “legion of strippers, vulgar fat-bottomed dancers, snake charmers, drag queens, and bizarrely festooned revelers” making their way through a mock forest in the huge banquet hall. As music roared from speakers, dancing and nudity soon followed. By some accounts, dwarfs serving cocaine on trays they may have carried on their heads. The goal was to “create an environment where whatever you wanted to do was sanctioned.

It is thought that the man he killed in the song is his previous self when he came out as being gay to his mother.

Great reaction! Since you seem to enjoy great jazz singer. You should check out the band Snarky Puppy featuring Lalah Hathaway singing "Something". They actually won a Grammy for this performance. Lalah is the daughter of American soul singer and musician Donny Hathaway. She is one of the best living jazz singer and underwhelmly popular. Check it out you will be blown away.

Listen to Another one bites the dust And we r the champions

It's a song the singer Freddie made describing his coming out he's gay telling his mom his friends etc.teloing his mom he's killing the straight man he pretended to be the straight man he doesn't want to die but he wish he never made the straight man he pretended to be born at all,l. He wanted it to be a country song but it sounded better when it came out as a combination rock /opera sound.

More than a billion views
