Queen - The Show Must Go On!! DannymikReacts wants to learn more about Queen and this song is hopefully the start of a reaction journey that will continue. Freddie Mercury takes us on a ride with his exceptional vocals while the other band members perform a very catchy song that I honestly love. Rest in peace to Freddie Mercury.
Please comment about any information to educate me about Queen and any experiences that you can think of that I'd appreciate. I probably know 6-8 of their most popular songs as well as the soundtrack for the movie Flash Gordon. So, there is probably a plethora of songs to react to and I hope you guys fill up that comment section with suggestions.
If you haven't see any of my previous reactions here on RU-vid then I'd like to welcome you to DannymikReacts. I react to all genres of music and am now branching out to the beatbox genre and short comedy skits. So please, kick back and relax... I hope you enjoy!!

I'd like to say hello to all the fans of Queen and those of you who are viewing this reaction. Please let me know your experience with Queen and why they are such a legendary band. I only know the radio songs so I'm eager to get into their library. Stay safe out there and much love to everyone. Thanks 👏✌

Hello, I hope you read this although I think my comment could get a little big. Even if it is big just read this first sentence. So Your Reaction was great I loved it. I'll write all the Band members and what they do and some extra stuff I hope it'll help you a little. (I finished this comment now and of course it got big but if you Really want to get knowledge about Queen then read this 😅) Freddie Mercury: Lead Singer, Plays Piano, Greatest Front man on earth. (he is not the Leader of the Band, they don't like to have a Leader and Freddie himself also said that.) Brian May: Lead Guitarist, Background Singer (he also sings sometimes Lead) he is also an astrophysicist. Brian Build his Guitar with his Dad when he was 16, his Guitar is pretty Special and sounds very different to normal E Guitars. His Guitar is called The Red Special and he still uses that one till today. The Guitar is build out of some random stuff he found at home with his dad. So to that, there was a over 100 year old firewood he said. So His Guitar isn't actually 57 years old, it's even over 100 years old. So The Red Special gives Queen that Special ''Queen Sound''. Roger Taylor: Great Drummer, Background Singer (also sings sometimes Lead) He is the High Singer of the Group, He is a High Tenor and he often did some great Falsettos. (I think the note he actually very often hit was the Note A5). People say he isn't a Good Drummer but I really think they didn't see everything of him. Well yeah so he sings and drums at the same time in the Background. He really is a Great background singer for Freddie because when Freddie needs to catch a breath or forgets the lyrics or something Roger really helps Freddie and of course the same thing just the other way around. (when Roger for example needs to catch breath) Roger said catching the next breath while singing and drumming is the hardest thing for him. So I really respect him, but not just him THE WHOLE BAND IS TOO AWESOME. John Deacon: Bassist, he is the quite guy in Queen, He is an Engineer and he Build Special amps for Brian. He is the only one that doesn't sing but he sung very very Occasionally. All Band members have written more than 1 Number One Hits. All of them can also play Many More instruments but they mostly play it like I have written 👆 They are 4 equal band members in their own right. My experience with Queen... Idk how to explain, but they are such an Legendary Band because they don't stick to One Genre, they already were _everywhere_ but still they are a British Rock Band. They have inspired MANY People, such as the drummer from the Foo Fighters Taylor Hawkins, He also has the name Taylor in it because Roger Taylor (the drummer from Queen 👆) was one of his Role models, Queen also heavily inspired Michael Jackson, for example his performances, his songs, and even his Glove. What also makes them Special is how they create songs and how they Harmonize with their Voices and instruments. Freddie was a really special one, He loved Opera and made an whole album with one of his favorite Opera singers. Freddie can actually sing just as high as Roger but I'll tell it to you like this, since the beginning of Queen Roger always was the One making the high notes and Freddie was just ''figuring out his Voice'' until it became the absolute best. In 1982 Roger lost his Falsettos and it of course was already 9 years since Queens start and Freddie's voice really improved. With that being said after 1982 Freddie was actually the high singer. But no matter if he was the high singer, Roger still sang a bit higher when they still harmonized their voices, Roger is as I said a High Tenor and Freddie is a High Baritone with makes his Voice deeper as rogers. Probably a big reason I love Queen so much is because they are like 4 Solo artists in One band which makes them just the number 1 of bands that could ever existed (of course there are more great bands but I think you get what I'm trying to say) But really I think one of the main things is that Freddie really did sing his butt of till months before his dead. He really loved his Fans and he loved music. He did everything till he couldn't anymore. Here in the Show Must Go On (which is my Favorite Queen Song) you can really hear what a Great singer he is. He couldn't even stand up anymore and he was still singing 1000% better than today's healthy people. Freddie was just one of the Greatest singers. Brian May wrote The Show Must Go On and he wrote it in the situation with Freddie so this was actually about Freddie. Have you ever heard a dying mean making such an Angel High Note ( at 6:33 he hit an D5) and the last thing before I write my last thing is I want to talk about their Voices, Freddie's is really smooth and _GodLike._ Brian's sounds a bit like Freddie's but not that much, he has a nice Voice too but idk how to really explain. Roger has a Rock Raspy Voice but his Falsetto's sound Angelic. So the Last thing I want to say is that if you heard We Will Rock You and think that is something special from Queen... it is not. Imo it is not even catchy. It repeats itself and has a short guitar solo. They could have done so much better than that, But they actually have 😂 They have a Fast Version of the song. AND THAT Really fixes everything for me so please react to _1. We Will Rock You (fast version) - Queen Live in Montreal 1981 [1080p HD Blu-Ray Mux]._ Just a reminder please give it up for the Whole band and not just Freddie. You already did it right but I just wanted to remind 😅 They have tooooo many great songs. Just One thing from them doesn't help to understand them. You will get A LOT of request to many stuff from them. I think for the start I said everything that had to be said. Sorry again for this big text.

@geraldherrmann787 4 года назад

the QUEEN catalogue is huge. you´ll arguably find their core/best studiowork inbetween 1975 and 1978 and their greatest live-performances in the 80ies. start with: 1) Somebody to love (live montreal 1981) 2) Queen Live at Live Aid 1985 (full 20 minutes). if you want it rougher, look for "gimme the prize", "sheer heart attack" and "tie your mother down"

@mabra87 4 года назад

My dad was and is a huge Queen fan. I remember growing up listening to Queen. Although I was 5 when Freddie died, I remember being so sad that I was never going to be able to experience them live. But to this day ( I’m 33) I listen to Queen every day. My favourite album is A Night at the Opera

@queenmiriam3058 4 года назад

Great reaction!!! We love you to start the Queen journey. They were so diverse, and still being loved after so many years. I always loved Queen, but most the popular songs. Through the movie Bohemian Rhapsody I discovered Queen all over again and more. They have an impressive and amazing catalogue❤ Much Love and bless for your wife and a big hug from the Netherlands.

@kennikitty 3 года назад

Isn't it a shame? Freddie was like good wine, he got better with age. He quit smoking and touring due to AIDS, which helped rest and smooth out his brilliant voice. The results are his best vocals on his last complete album. A dying man with better vocals than most other vocalists in their prime. Freddie was truly special.

@DannymikReacts 3 года назад

I did a reaction to Queen - Somebody to Love (Love in Montreal) this afternoon and I don't know what it is but I was fighting back tears... again. I was watching a group absolutely crush a song and it just makes me sad... sad that the will never get to perform again. Freddie was one hell of a musician. I have some other reactions to edit before that one but I am pumped to get to it. Thank you for your time and just know that I appreciate your comment. I appreciate you 🙌✌

@laurenraubaugh9542 4 года назад

Freddie recorded this months before passing away. He was in a lot of pain and could barely walk or stand for long periods, as he had lost part of his foot by that time. He was very thin, weak, and frail, but all he wanted to do was to keep singing and making music. He asked the band to keep giving him things to sing, even if there was no time to record instrumentals first, because he knew they would finish producing the songs later (and they did - that's their 1995 album "Made in Heaven"). This song was from the last album Freddie did get to see released ("Innuendo", in 1991). There were many rumors about his health, but no, it wasn't confirmed until the day before his death in November of 1991. The vocals on this song are incredibly difficult, and the guitarist Brian (who did write this with Freddie in mind) was worried he wouldn't be able to sing it, sick as he was. Freddie propped himself up on the recording table (he could no longer stand and sing), took a shot of vodka, and said "I'll f**king do it, darling." You'd never know he was dying from the sound of his voice here. Definitely a song we can all listen to and be inspired by now. I wish all the best to you, your wife, and your family!

@samloveslfc 4 года назад

There is reason Brian May's guitar has a unique sound. It is a unique guitar, it is called The Red Special and he and his dad built it when he was a teenager. It is made out of odds and ends, including an old mantelpiece, a tabletop, mother of pearl buttons, a knitting needle and all done with hand tools! Also he uses a unique amp, built by their bass player John Deacon out of scrap he found in a skip, called the Deacy Amp.

@mori1bund 4 года назад

One other great guitar player who's friends with Brian May (I think it was Eddie Van Halen, but I'm not sure) said once, he switched guitars with Brian, but when they played Brian still sounded like typical Brian (even with the different guitar) and he still sounded like himself and not like the typical Queen guitar sound. So there's probably more to it than the Red Special and the Deacy Amps alone. :-)

About this song, Brian May said: "It was unspoken at the time. We did not sit around talking about Freddies illness. Nobody wanted to. But it was very much out there. Casting a shadow over the studio. ... We were messing around with some chord sequences, and the song just lept into my head. So vividly that I sort of questioned whether I'd heard it somewhere else. I could hear (it) so clearly in my head. When we had an odd moment. Everybody had gone. I just put down a demo of it."

Okay, here we go now! Queen is one of those bands that will always live on in this world. The loss of Freddie Mercury was so tragic and left a large hole in the rock world. Great song to start with and I hope you keep going. This was written by the guitarist Brain May and it fit perfectly with what was going on. Thanks for doing this one!

@kelleeholmes9448 4 года назад

Yes Freddie was very ill when he sang this, so much so they had him propped up on the mixer in the studio. Brian wrote it, but Freddie being so sick was afraid the high notes would be to strenuous on him and offered to re write at lower notes for him, Freddie downed a vodka and replied "I'll fucking do it darling" and is said was done in one take. If you are just starting the Queen journey, keep in mind they were ALWAYS better live than what was produced from the studio, so if there is a song you "think" you dont like, revisit a live version before deciding. I was not a big fan of radio gaga until I watched the live version and is now one of my favorites...lol. Yes they were better than any editing machine. It actually took away from their talent instead of helping it like it does for other artists. But then again Freddie has been called the human auto tune!

When watching live performances be sure to watch for drummer Roger Taylor singing - phenomenal! Also, know that Freddie did not consider himself the 'leader', the other members were not 'his guitarists', a common misunderstanding. They were equals. Freddie was the natural front man, LOL, to say the least.

@@DannymikReacts Since you say you're a metalhead, and since some say that Queen didn't know how to rock hard, you might well enjoy "Sheer Heart Attack", "Stone Cold Crazy", and "Hitman". I recommend all of them. Queen made an enormous song catalogue, they could and did do anything and everything. "The Show Must Go On" is from their last album made while Freddie was still living - Innuendo - a masterpiece of an album. You're starting at the end. Innuendo was the next-to-last album. Their final album was "Made in Heaven". Freddie died in 1991. Deacon, May and Taylor, still grieving, reconvened in the studio in 1994 to work with vocals Freddie had laid down prior to his death, the resultant Made in Heaven album becoming probably the best-crafted bow-out by a band ever. (Best to leave that album for after you've gotten to know the band and their life trajectories.)

You should listen to Mother Love. It was his last song, he never got to finish it. When he was in the later stages of his life, he would often record parts of a song and come back the next day to finish it. Unfortunately with Mother Love, that day never came. Brian May sang the final part of the song after Freddie died, and the pain that you can hear in Brian's voice is heartbreaking.

Best performance ever. Also, Brian May, guitarist is also an astrophysicist- he and his dad built a guitar when he was 17 from scratch. The Red Special. He still uses it, and it has a very recognizable sound. There are too many songs to suggest any, just know some of the best gems are hidden in albums and didn't get played on the radio. Maybe listen to the entire Jazz album one day. Awe, listen to it all. 👑

My personal favorite is "My Fairy King". It's from their debut album, and a great look back at where Freddie and the band came from and how far they had already come before anyone even knew them. I obviously highly recommend it, it's not a well known song to casual fans so it would be great for more people to discover it. "Barcelona" (from Freddie's collaborative album recorded with the opera singer Montserrat Caballe, also titled "Barcelona"), is also absolutely wonderful and one of my top songs of all time ever.

I think this is the only rock band where all 4 members of the band wrote #1 hit songs. Do yourself a favor and watch Queen at the Live Aid concert. It's 30 minutes where you won't be able to take your eyes off the performance. Legend.

Hey fellow NYer, I’m down in Long Island. Give your wife an extra hug. Queen has a huge catalogue & this is toward the end of their time with Freddie. 💔 Brian May wrote this for his dying friend. And for the end of Queen itself.....at least as it was originally formed for 20+ years.

@irenedownie6559 4 года назад

Thank you for that really good reaction! I loved that you didn’t try to analyse the lyrics too much and that you commented on the quality of Freddie’s voice and the music it’s self. Brian May is the only guitarist in Queen. He made his guitar when he was young along with his father, out of wood from an old fireplace and that’s why he had such a distinct guitar sound. He writes most of the “rockier” songs, two of which are “It’s Late” and “Gimme the Prize”. I’d love it if you could react to them. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Freddie is a master of his craft. A true legend of music. One of the most telling stories about his last days is that he never stopped working. He'd be writing lyrics on scraps of paper and then go sing'em. He'd tell his band mates to give him everything they could come up with and Freddie would do whatever he had to in order to sing it. He was still working on songs in his final week of life.

Wowza this got A TON of views man, and rightfully so. Freddie Mercury has one of the greatest voices. He was one of the greatest gifts that was ever given to music - such a shame that we lost him so young. Great reaction as always!

I saw Queen twice, 78 and 80. They still remain the loudest bombastic concert I've ever seen. Freddie was pure live kinetic energy and he oozed charisma. This song and the innuendo album has Freddie's voice thinning from his once powerful tenor, yet he hits all those notes and sustains throughout, like only Freddie could.

@lorrainehoward2722 4 года назад

That is Brian May on guitar. One of the best guitar player in the world. Freddie will go down as one of the best frontmen that ever lived. And he is always in the top 5 as the best singer. Try Mother Love it was the last song he ever recorded. Actually he never finished it. He was so sick he told the band he would come back and finish it. He never did. Brian sang the last verse. But if that song doesn’t send chills up your spine, I don’t know what will. You really need to keep digging into Queen. You will not be disappointed. One of the best bands ever, ever! And Freddie was such a perfectionist. Nothing got recorded unless it lived up to his expectations.

@donnascott7407 4 года назад

I believe in this song he was reflecting and letting the band know the show must go on after hes gone.. I grew up with Queen. Freddie stopped performing concerts in 86 or 87 due to his illness.. Brian may lead bass john deacon drummer roger taylor

Thank you for sharing ! I heard that Freddie did this song in 1 take ! Another song that's pretty good , has a lot of guitar is the song called "The Hit Man " , it's also from the 1991 "Innuendo" album , Freddie's voice is incredible in it being it was made near the end of his life , worth a listen to ! The guitarist of the band is Brian May , his guitar is called "The Red Special " that his father many years ago helped him build 👍🎸!!!!!

As a diehard Queen fan, you earned a sub from me, Freddie is perhaps the greatest frontman to ever live and thanks to the music that he, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon his music and vocal superiority will live on, Brian May and John Deacon were the guitarists, Freddie, Brian and Roger wrote most of their music.

After hearing this song a handful of times now I can see where your father was coming from. Brian May wrote this song? It's a sad way to look at life but it's also an honest message. I may react to the original video since a handful of people has told me to do so. I'm rearranging the room I record in (since I occasionally work from home in there these days) so it's a little bit of a battle to get it done quickly. Thank you for your comment and view!!

I saw Queen live twice. The second time at Wembley stadium in July 1986 on their final tour. Freddie was the best front man of any band ever. Have a look at the video, the opening was as good as you'll see. Lead guitar is Brian May, one of the best. The guitar you hear was home made by Brian and his father from various parts around the house. For example, the body was from part of an old oak table. Have a look at These are the Days of Our Lives and Mother Love, two of the last songs Freddie made.

A HUGE shout out 2 ur wife and the 1st responders. Lots of respect. No one cud get the audience moving like Freddie. May he RIP. He is truly missed ... their performance at the “Live Aid” concert will go down in history .... it is still talked about today... he had the audience interacting w/him like no other. It was sincerely their best moments as a band. If u look at the amt of people paying respect to them that day will boggle ur mind. Talk about a NATURAL HIGH. Try listening to AC/DC THUNDERSTRUCK. Another song that will go down in history ¡." Great vid btw

I was a Queen fan when I was a teenager during the 70’s, showing my vintage now...but I lost them during the 80’s when I got married and had my family. The Bohemian Rhapsody movie brought them back into my life and I’m so grateful for it. I can suggest a couple of live performances right off the bat that you should not miss. Somebody to Love live at Montreal 1981 and Under Pressure live at Wembley 1986. The have an enormous catalogue of music, so diverse and as a rule their live versions of songs were better than the studio versions. Those two songs will get you hooked though, and from there you can dive in. Thank you for a great reaction. It’s a nice change to have a reactor actually listen to the lyrics and make some intelligent comments, so I’ll subscribe just for that alone, but if you watch more Queen, I’ll watch with you! I hope you and your family stay safe during this crazy time. I live in Australia and our government were pretty quick to close things down so we are starting to ‘flatten the curve’ as they say, but I see on the news everything that is happening in the US and elsewhere in the world, so I wish you all the best.
