First-Time Reaction to Queen "One Vision" Extended Version 

There's a documentary version of this song also that shows them actually writing the song together etc. And it is really great live at Wembley in 1986--the concert opener.

The best thing about Queen is that every member of the band has written a number 1 hit song.

You should watch the "making of One Vision" video. You get to see exactly how they collaborated on this.

Please watch the documentary on the making of this song. Freddie wanted to get everyone in the studio to write a song together. It’s not a long video but very entertaining. I don’t think there is a band worth their salt that doesn’t argue. You can’t put 4 creative geniuses together and not have arguments. The important thing is it never affected their relationships. Freddie was the one that navigated these situations. Many assume he would have been the tough one to work with but he always diffused these situations.

You guys would love the documentary for this ❤❤❤❤

Originally written by Roger, as partially inspired by MLK Jrs I Have a Dream Speech. But when they got in the studio, it was changed a lot (as Roger said, “that rotter Freddie got ahold of it”! Lol). The live version from the ‘86 Wembley concert is great.

Queen was so diverse that they can mix rock with a waltz. Check out the studio version of the Millionaire Waltz and you'll be surprised how good it is.

They did bicker, but they were family and extremely close for the 20 years that they were together. And devastated when Freddie got sick after which they did everything possible to make it possible for Freddie to keep recording..... even after he was too sick to record videos. John .... as the quiet introvert.... was particularly close to Freddie who encouraged him always when he had doubts and anxiety. John was so devastated by Freddie's death that he quit music completely. To John, Queen was no longer Queen without Freddie.... So... even though they had their spats, just like family they trusted, loved and supported each other..... always.

If you like seeing all the behind the scenes in the studio of them putting this song together, there is a 20 minute One Vision documentary. This song was inspired by MLKJr I love Roger making all the faces at the camera. He’s the funny one

My favorite video of all time, it's so fun to have a piece of them in the studio, parts of the clip were taken from the One Vision mini documentary, it's really worth watching, even if it's not for a reaction, I highly recommend it

Part of the tension was that the person who brought the song to the band, received the credit as writer, and the commission on resulting sales. John shared credit with Freddie on one of the songs that Freddie had helped him develop, but the that was not the norm. They only shared credit as Queen after Freddie got ill and wanted it shared. That equalized their incomes and reduced that tension that pitted them against each other financially.

Oh... God Bless the 80s, I was 17 in '84, what a time... it felt exciting, prosperous, we felt alive, and there was hope, a future for us all, Jesus Christ what have they done to us !!

They took a break but when they came back, they made magic. Freddie said it felt like the earlier years

My 4 yr old grandson loves Queen. I went to see Queen and Adam this past fall because I wanted to see Brian and Roger live. When I got back home my grandson asked me if I saw them sing We Will Rock You. He's taught his whole preschool the song. His teacher has limited him to only singing it during lunch and recess. I loved seeing all the generations at the show. A very talented band of musicians, songwriters and singers.

This shows a lighter side of their personalities. Plus the song is so uplifting and inspirational, especially in today's world. Thanks for ding this!

I knew Queen when they started out in the early 70s but wasn't focused into them until The Highlander movie and Flash in the 80s and then I went back and 'rediscovered' them and listen to them daily. I still remember Live Aid on TV and how great they were. I'm 75, by the way. Never too old.

This song is great performed live at Wembley 1986

As a unit, I find Queen ,in their time, to have given posterity the best of creativity, musicianship and entertainment. There's no match I've visited from then, or since, even thru to these days in 2023. 'Fighting' seems to have been a marketing ploy used then . . . and now. Each musician was a thinker, confident and able to debate a point with words and attitude. . . while giving fans unique products.

Thank you so much for this reaction! You made me blush... 😊 FYI, I'm pronounced Gillie with a soft G - like Jillie... I love the way you caught on to the way the lads had so much fun as they finalised the production of what originated as Roger's song about Martin Luther King Jr... before Freddie got his hands on it... over an extended period. You'll probably have noticed the number of different outfits the boys appeared in. The fried chicken ending was left in as a bit of fun, and came from when they were rehearsing, and Freddie got hungry and started improvising and ad-libbing random words, including items from all the takeaway (takeout) menus that were lying around... among other things. As I see others have already mentioned. It's a natural progression to move on to the 20 minute 'One vision Documentary', which gives a far more detailed explanation of how they went about finalising the sound - and lyrics - of the song, and includes brief interviews with the boys. Thanks again! 😘

The extended version is perfect 🍗

My favorite version of "One Vision" is live from Wembley, 1986. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lgwfMF5kSJ0.html There is also a documentary on the making of "One Vision" -ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XssPitrqOXM.html. This video was taped in Queen Recording studio in Montreux, Switzerland. It shows the band working to actually create the song. (FYI- Roger admitted that since they knew they were on camera, they were on their best behavior. So it is not an accurate depiction of what happened in the studio. On a typical day in the studio, there might be more heated "discussions" as they fight to create the best version of the song. They were 4 men with 4 different opinions,) You might notice that they recorded a lot of lyrics that never made it into the mix. That was very common. The mixing of the recorded tracks was just as important as composing the song. Other things you might notice in this video are: 1. Brian's Clog shoes. According to his wife Anita, Brian loves wearing his clogs (she says he even has Blue Suede Clogs.). Apparently, Brian always wears clogs except on stage when he wears his Addidas trainers. 2. If you look quick, you can see Brian's pick in action. He always uses an old sixpence coin as his pick. Sixpence coins are no longer used in Britain but Brian has been able to find bags of them at aniique stores so has has plenty. Originally, he used bendy picks because he thought it was good for speed but later discovered he preferred a hard, rigid pick so he could feel the strings. Apparently, the British sixpence was the perfect pick for him. 3. The man sitting in front of the control table is Mack (Reinhold Mack), their producer/engineer. He is German. Mack and the band were very close. Freddie and John were godfathers to Mack's 3rd son, Freddie Mack. (Mack was referenced in the song "Dragon Arrack" - "gonna use my stack/it's gotta be Mack".] 4. The other man sitting at the table was Freddie's partner, Jim Hutton. ************************* Also, I want to add a video to your long list to review. I know that you have already reacted to the Montreal live version of "Somebody To Love" but you really need to also watch the official studio video of "Somebody to Love". - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kijpcUv-b8M.html The arrangement they used for the studio recording showcases much more of the Queen's classic backup vocals combining Roger, Brian, and Freddie, which is an amazingly beautiful blend. The combination of their three voices together produced the unique Queen sound. It is still an amazing song whether you listen to the studio version or the group performing it live (each live performance was different from the other live performances). They had to alter the arrangement of the song from the recorded and released version to perform it live. Freddie was an exceptional vocalist but even he could not sing both lead and backup vocals simultaneously.

This song is kind a tribute to Martin Luther King. But the "fried chicken" in the end was just for the fun.

If you check out the making of video, make sure it's the full 20 min video, not the 10 min one that misses out a lot. Also keep an ear out for Freddie and his improvised joke lyrics lol.

Hi folks! Back in '88, Queen put out a 3 part VHS series called "The Magic Years." Part 3 of the series was largely the recording of this song. They were famous for fretting over one note, and boy, it showed in that video. But to watch it, it's like they just came in, laid it down and had tea. You just never knew what to expect from them. And in that vein, I eagerly await you advancing to the "Jazz" album and the opener, a Hebrew banger called "Mustapha". Yep, I love that band. Love you guys!

Reinhold mac their record producer loved working with queen and even went to freddies funeral that shows true respect

Watch the one vision documentary. You will see first row how they worked together. It’s in my opinion the mist important video to apreciate their greatness

Wow 😅 beautiful sweet Freddie 😍 liked subscribed 🎉 please react to the documentary of the making of this song, it's a wonderful insight to how this talented people made such great music 🎵❤❤❤

You really need to watch the documentary version of the making of this song. It gives great insight to how they work together in the studio and it’s funny too.

If you get the videos from the Queen Official RU-vid channel, you don't have to pause. Queen loves to have their videos shared.... it brings in more fans. They won't block you....

This song was originally called "A kind of Vision" by Roger, sparse lyrics of "One Vision" with the tune to "A kind of Magic", Freddie got hold of it and here we are.

BTW it was their first manager that was actually the one driving a wedge between Freddie and the others. Eventually Freddie saw through it and they got back together again. The Movie is actually quite good.

Love ONE VISION!! Gotta see it live as the concert opener for Wembley 1986. After the opening, it transitions right into TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN .. crowd goes wild! Very exciting!! 🍗🍗

This song was used for the movie Iron Eagle and was released as a single in 1985 before being put out on the A Kind Of Magic album in 1986. Another great song from that album is Gimme The Prize (Kurgan's Theme) in which Freddie's vocals are pushed to their limit which was due to Brian wanting Freddie to hit a higher note which caused a bit of friction as Freddie said that he can only go so high. Great song and hope you can react to it.

It is just great to see how reactionists get people away from the constand feeding by main stream. There is so much more, and so much better music and performance out there.

You should watch the entire Montreal 81 concert. It's fantastic!

Coach ..wise words..they had differences...but even then it was mostly amicable....the long version of this..Queen Danka One Vision High Quality 1986 (4K-60HPS)....amazing quality and you get to see them composing the song....with Freddie in charge, as usual😁...stick it in your back pocket for another time🤩

Great! You must, must must watch One Vision and Tie Your Mother Down, Wembley 1986.

One of my faves, along with Seven Seas of Rye of the incredible Sheer Heart Attack Album, their first.The Yardstick for me.Completely authentic music.

There's a documentary of making of One Vision. Check it out. ❤

Another great reaction,thank you. Personally, i prefer the wembley 86 live version that they opened the show with, always think the live versions add that bit extra, especially with a band like queen who were just so good live.

Thank you reacting to this great reaction as always ❤ you should watch the documentary of them writing the song together the chief mouse version is the best one if you do keep a listen out for Freddie changing the words 😂😂

There's a longer version on Queen Channel about 20 minutes or so, talking about how Roger came up with the initial lyrics, which some were charged in order for Freddie too sing it. Also Behind The Rhapsody or possibly Inside, both Sir Brian and Roger talk you through how Freddie came up with the concept of the song, how it was recorded etc, it almost had a different name. Mongolian Rhapsody, written on paper from a British Airline and sold in September for around a million and half pounds after all fees etc were added, the bracelet he wore in the video went for more than half a million

Superb reaction,you are both a breath of fresh air and i love it when you enjoy my favourite band Queen.You should check out The Prophet's Song written by Brian May or The Milllionaire Waltz written by Freddie Mercury,both astounding.Keep up the good work guys,you are both fab.

I came for Blackpink and here I am for my 6th Queen reaction. One of the things that I find sad about songs with such a wonderful message like this, is that they never seem to reach the folks that really need to hear a message like this. All we can do is spread the positivity as far as we can, and hold onto hope! 👆❤

A suggestion for you: "Who wants yo live forever", live version at Wembley 86, Friday night... It's overly emotional and Freddie, as always, perfect...

Time to check out Band Maid 🎀🎶 Domination-Live 😎

Putri ariani on hut transmedia cover bohemian rhapsody.2023 she got golden buzzer from simon cowel.

John Deacon never sang on recordings, but helped on stage. He wasn't a singer. On the video he is obviously miming for the camera.

Please watch Queen Now am here live from Wembley 1986. You will not be disappointed.

I really love the intro with the violin I think...but in general great song. Really fits the movie well. Back then I thought the Highlander was a great movie. Now I can see it's dated, but still great.

Okay coach your talking to me, lol. I"m that guy, I'm nearly 70 years old and like what I like. If a song was recorded after 1985, I probably don't know it. I'm just kidding. Classic Rock guy here. Queen is my favorite band, and I enjoy watching others experience Queen. The greatness of Freddie, Roger, Brian, and John. The band is finally getting the recognition they deserve. Believe it or not, Queen did not get very good reviews back in the 70's and 80's. People did not get. Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Kiss, Rainbow ruled the rock music world. These guys had a huge sense of humor. Check out "I want to Break free" Hilarious!! That song got them band from MTV and they were done in the USA. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas to you and family.

That's what makes there last video so hard breaking to watch and hear. He could barely move without pain.

If you download from the official Queen youtube channel, they will not block according to everything I have heard.

Hi Coach,, Freddie, John, Roger and Brian are so cute and funny. It's nice to see them - the Queen with Freddie and John. We missed them both. They're like family,, have arguments but at the end of the day they still love each other. They treat each other as brothers. And even Freddie is gone,, they still miss and love him. Thank you for your great reaction. You make me smile Mr & Mrs Coach as always especially when you do Queen reaction. Just love it♥️!! Hope you do Barcelona and How can I go on. Love the opera singing of Freddie♥️♥️

As at least one other person has said there is a "Making of" for One Vision (the longer one please...more short interviews in that one) It's not that long and it shows them working and writing together in the studio. Quite interesting and a lot silly fun....if you don't mind Freddie dropping an F bomb or two it's really a fun watch! As for John singing. In an interview with Brain he said that when it shows John singing either in videos or live his mic is turned way down per his request. Also the song is about MLK and his vision. May I vent a bit? You aren't the only ones who do this but it makes me crazy. We just watched an epic video with Brian being amazing on guitar and Roger being his usual wonderful on drums (OK we didn't see John play a lot) but your commentary was "Freddie, Freddie" Yes the extended was more Brian and Roger playing and playing very well. No hype for them after the video?

❤😊😊❤😂😊❤😂😂😂❤❤😂😂😂😂Queen's mottowas:MESS WITH ONE QUEEN YOU MESS WITH US ALL

Fun Queen fact - Brian uses a shaved down sixpence coin as a plectrum and never a standard one

Creo que, cuando Freddy empezó su carrera en solitario, tuvieron una ruptura difícil, cuando hubo reconciliación y volvieron a grabar salieron cosas como esta y creo que esa reconciliación les hizo disfrutar más de la música,este álbum y el siguiente les siento luminosos y que ellos disfrutan,A kind of Magic, y The miracle,Innuendo,el último álbum editado antes de la muerte de Freddy es un poco más oscuro desde mi percepción subjetiva pero, aún así, tienen dos vídeos muy divertidos,I'm going slightly mad y Headlong,este último es del estilo de one vision, divirtiéndose en el estudio de grabación, me gusta vuestro canal,muchas gracias

Merry Christmas Coach & Mrs Coach from across the pond🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧🌲🌲🎉

Please react to Queen - I Want It All (official video)

Loved this, thank you Mr & Mrs Coach! Pls keep them coming! Wishing you both a very happy Christmas, love from Oz🇦🇺

The producer, rheinhold Mack named his child after freddie and freddie was the godfather

Another suggestion: Prince's participation with his guitar in "While My Guitar Gently Weps" at the Rock Hall 2004

Give me fried chicken.! Louis Gossett jr. Movie. Iron Eagle.

Wenn sie gesehen haben spielt John Deacon auch Drums,er kann auch viele Instrumente spielen.

Comment at the end if the song don't stop queen playing

Being I’m an old guy that got into Queen during their glam rock days of the ‘70s and one who doesn’t love their ‘poppier’ music of the ‘80s, I must say… I always liked this one😊… fried chicken!

Ihr solltet euch von Queen: A Kind of Magic, Life anschauen.

John doesn't sing on this or any Queen song. The clips of him "singing" are purely for the promo video.

more mamamoo please

What's not to like about you, especially the accent and wisdom.

Omg I thought you was enjoying queen, just enjoy the proper things not this rubbish, just watch them live or proper videos

HI Guys.... THANK YOU for starting my day out right with Freddie! P.S. There's a GREAT mini-documentary on the in-studio making of this song. FYI, tho: There are THREE different versions of the documentary... One is only 10 minutes long (it basically cuts out all the interesting stuff, the interviews/interactions between the guys). You would want to look for the one that's 20 some-odd minutes. Of the 20-minute documentary, there are TWO different versions. The BEST/most interesting one, has been edited by CHIEF MOUSE (so it says Chief Mouse Edit right on the opening screen). It's just a bit more interesting than the original on the official channel, because some add'l interesting interview segments have been edited in. This Chief Mouse Edit of the documentary is posted on: queen danka channel,.and is just over 21 minutes long.
