Best is when Brian May states that nobody beats the Beatles but that it's nice to be there with them. It shows character, humility and the sign of a great man. This is way too infrequent in rock band members.

@LinkTyler 5 лет назад

Yep, I was thinking exactly the same...

@yengsabio5315 5 лет назад

I fully agree! The thing is that it would be the critics that will tell if they have surpassed The Beatles or any other band for that matter. But in the end, Queen already has cemented its unique ground in music history & their artistry is very much appreciated.

@nengalitta 5 лет назад

it's strange that people are comparing The Beatles and Queen. Queen came out when The Beatles were disbanded, so IMHO, you just don't compare them because they're not on the same time period, if you understand what I mean.. Both were and are still great bands..

@Canuckmom128 5 лет назад

Stephen Pike Couldn't agree more. So genuine, honest, sincere, ridiculously talented and intelligent - other bands at the time used to laugh about all these guys with University Degrees that ended up in one of the greatest Rock Bands of all time. Brian went on to finish his PhD. In Astrophysics in the early 90's. I mean really?.? Seriously?? Amazing. The way he and Roger put up with the media and did interviews shortly after Freddie's death, to set the record straight, was nothing short of Herculean, as they were pretty shattered. Lovely guys. Amazing musicians. Iconic Band !!

@TokyoBlue587 5 лет назад

In those days, musicians had to have real talent with playing their instruments and singing, because as Brian May points out, "The take was the take" and you weren't able to do a lot to it afterwards. You had to just do a take and nail it. Now I feel like this is something that is sadly going away, as real musicianship is not as valued as it once was, and talentless pop stars use autotune, synthetic drums (which never have the same feel as a good drummer actually playing drums), and programs like protools which are overused. Can you imagine a band today making a song this complex?

This documentary is just what I've longed for, to hear the different pieces of Bohemian rhapsody part by part. It's such an amazing complex song that it's almost impossible to pick up every single note. It was great hearing Brian go through each bit with commentary and he's so nice. This song is one more proof of how amazingly talented Freddie Mercury was. Not only did he have the best voice ever and a legendary stage performance, he also wrote so many songs that will live forever. Imagine composing the whole Bohemian rhapsody in your mind, talk about a great mind. I love him and Queen so much and I really wish I could have seen them live. Unfortunately I was only 11 years old when Freddie died but if I had one chance to go back in time I would use it to see them.

28:00 Bri smiling and laughing about them singing like girls make me so unexplainably happy. It’s nice to see them all reminiscing in these clip over there life’s back then and mostly their best friend. I bet it also pings the heart whenever they hear there old friend sing and see him dance and galavant around stage as he once did and would have been doing still, but it’s also extremely extraordinary that they can smile and be happy listing to him and reliving those memories because they had them in the first place and did all these amazing things as a group. There will never ever be another one of these band members, they were each so different but also seemed to all belong to the same puzzle, and there will certainly never be a band that will ever compare to what is queen. I doubt there will ever be performers and songwriters, as no questions asked about it, legendary as these few men are. I envy those who got to see them live and actually watch there history unfold before there eyes.

He seems so warm, kind and humble and he is also incredibly intelligent. I could listen to his soothing voice all day. Roger is awesome too, he's also very intelligent, has a great sense of humor and appears warm and kind also. I so appreciate that they let us in on everything Queen, and are still keeping the band fresh, current and very much active 40+ years later...and always speak very warmly of Freddie and keep his memory alive. I thank them for giving us some of the best music ever, music that will always stand the test of time.

I understand the not wanting to explain the meaning of a song. Amy Grant once told a story how a fan came up to her gushing about a particular song helped her fall in love and it explained everything in her life. Amy replied, "I'm glad you liked it; I wrote for my dog." It was a joke. She meant that what inspires one person to do something may not be the same meaning that is picked up by the listener. There are some songs that are pretty self-explanatory ("Tears In Heaven"), or ambiguous ("25 or 6 to 4"), or better off interpreting your own meaning ("Bohemian Rhapsody"). Explaining BR would be the equivalent of when the secret to mastering the Rubik's Cube was published. Really, when you know how the puzzle fits together before you even begin it, where is the fun of mastering it on your own?

@@nocturnal7345 You can can play instruments and do the music. For example, using the Roland VP770, you can multiplex your voice and sound it like a chorus. But ... it will be noticed that it is artificial, machines were involved in the process and the sound won't be natural due to its compression. Queen made art in an artisanal, acoustic way and that's why the song stands the test of time. As 10CC did with the manual loop made with tapes for the choruses in "I'm not in love" in 1976. Or Kraftwerk with the chorus taken from an Orcheston keyboard for "Radioactivity" in 1975. Creativity in maximum expression. Today we have more technical resources, but talent is scarce. Let's look the music that comes out of the mainstream. Pure garbage.

It's wonderful how, after Brian says he wouldn't give the meaning of the song, even if he knew, then coyly, gives the meaning of the song. Freddie Mercury, the only man to burst out of the closet, find it extremely scary (so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.....just gotta get out, just got right out of here...) and go right back in again. And if you listen to Brian, that's exactly what he's saying. That Freddie was dealing with a lot of things in his life, got to nervous, and decided to deal with them later. Hence the meaning of the song.

@MichelleJ1822 5 лет назад

It’s so obvious how much love and mutual respect these men have for each other. I’ve been watching MANY videos on Queen/Freddie Mercury over the past few weeks. I’m 44 and knew about Queen and all but never really knew much about them. Something, probably the movie coming out, got me extremely interested in learning about them and Freddie Mercury himself. I never knew how incredibly attractive he actually was. And it breaks my heart that AIDS killed him and so many others, including a family member of mine. You can tell that when Brian and Roger speak of him there so much love there. You can definitely see how much they miss him and wish he were still with us. There have been a lot of people that have come and gone in this world, and many I would like to have met, but for some reason Freddie Mercury is so high on that list, and it breaks my heart that it will never happen. I live in America but would love To travel to England to see where he lived. Too many rock stars are self-absorbed, But you can tell this group of men is not.

Freddie, well, there has been no other frontman musician like him. And the rest of the band: all professionals! They had a gong back then and I loved watching Roger hit it at the end of BoRap. He did that in both concerts I went to. Queen, just one of a kind! They still are the BEST! Great memories! I still play my albums! 😊
