As you watch more Twin videos with Queen, this is clearly the 1st they are seeing from this concert but there are at least 2 others... You can tell they are in reverse order as he becomes more clothes.... Next vid he's in long pants but still no shirt, then they see what has to be the 1st or 2nd song of the concert and he even has a shirt on! A white ribbed tank top, but a shirt nonetheless!! Ha!
"Even I know that song. And I'm black!" You crack me up, my man. PS: The dude in the blue shirt and pants wrote this song. John Deacon. Gave up playing music after Freddie died. Made a few appearances and then retired. He and Freddie were great friends. Love for Deacy!!!!!
@@CheysMama15 - Wasn't it "Chic" inspired? Tony was their drummer I believe and Niles their guitarist producer. Basically Chic's funk style was admired by Deacon. I'm not too authoritative on funk. Cheers. :)
I should've gone to bed an hour and a half ago, but I can't stop watching your videos. I love your openness, appreciation, and feeling! Your videos are so joyful and they're making me appreciate these songs and artists even more than I already did.
Lesley Grossblatt - Sadly, like Mercury, he flew too close to the sun and his wild ways led to his untimely death but he lived more in his 46 years than most people would in 100. A legend.
Sailor Dave - At least Deaky, the "quiet old English gentleman" did use his honors electrical engineering degree long enough to invent Brian's Deacy amp. He deserves to enjoy his life now. That was what he wanted. I'm happy for him. Did you know the Royal Mail issued a set of stamps featuring Queen? Only The Beatles and Pink Floyd received that honor.
Deaky has, adorably, been married to his wife since 1975. They have six kids, and he wrote "You're My Best Friend" for her. He's a brilliant electrician, and built equipment for the band including an amp of his own invention. Brian May is a dedicated fox-and-badger conservationist, and released a version of the "Badger Badger Badger" meme song to protest badger culling. Roger Taylor has a wonderful old man beard, and his son is the drummer for The Darkness and Queen + Adam Lambert. Brilliant men all, as was Freddie.
“This man is too comfortable. He’s half naked on stage...” I was thinking the same thing! And u have to be confident and comfortable with those shorts, then throw in that prance!!! YAS!!!!! Takes real balls to rock it like that!!!!
The first time Freddie Mercury sang with Smile, Brian and Roger’s band, he couldn’t get the mic to come off the stand so he took it apart in the middle and it became his trademark. 💖
Freddie broke the mike stand early on, and liked the way it let him bring a mikestand with him everywhere, and have something to do with his hands.... he also gets a bit ... "naughty" with it in live concerts.
If you think you know Another One Bites The Dust, then you definitely know We Will Rock You, and We Are The Champions! These are songs that will last not just years or decades, but centuries! I love watching your Queen reactions! Back in the day, every single board, light, stage etc., was owned by Queen and went around the world with them. It was their home away from home! You can always tell what part of the concert the song is in. When Freddie is fully dressed, it is the beginning, 1/2 dressed middle, almost nothing in...it's the encore! Grest Job!
I’m Weak For Deaky All 4 winning Writer’s Hall of Fame Awards. The ONLY BAND that I had all four members write number one hit songs. The thing I loved about this band is that they had their own individual writing styles. John Deacon wrote from the bass & this is funky. Brian may move from the guitar and most of his songs were heavier and Freddie Mercury‘s vocals were in the tenor range versus his natural baritone. Roger route from the drums and came up with a radio gaga & others. I’m in love with my car!! That was because Rogers roadie bought an Alfa Romeo and he was in love with this car😂😂
@@JKM395 I remember the story about Queen in the recording studio. Freddie, Brian and Roger were arguing about something. When they got back in place, John had a left a note: Gone to Peru
The story goes that Michael Jackson (who was a huge Queen fan) persuaded Queen to pick this album song as a single. And it shot up to #1, not only in the single charts all around the world, but also in several black music Billboard charts.
I’m black and I still blast it. I remember I use to listen to the radio every morning while getting ready for school. This played on the soul radio station I was listening to and I went crazy. I was shocked to find out later it was a white group!!!
I don’t think there was one reaction you did when I didn’t yell “I love you!!!” at the screen. You’re my daughter’s age and you just make me happy. She also loves music. You are such an amazing generation! Young awesome humans!
Freddie was the best front man EVER! John Deacon, the bass player wrote the song. Incredibly talented band. (Brian on lead guitar is an astrophysicist!)
"This man half-nekkid on stage!!" Oh yes. Freddie was certifiable. Also possibly the single most talented male vocalist of all time, and I guess when you're that good, you get the right to go onstage in your underwear because at that point clearly the world has stopped making any sense, I guess? lol
The thing with Queen is that they can all write, the bass player John Deacon wrote this. Queen is the only band where all members wrote a number 1 song
Love watching your reactions to Queen songs. There's a long list of iconic Queen songs - Radio GaGa, Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Stop Me Now, Somebody to Love, We Are the Champions, Under Pressure, Hammer to Fall, The Show Must Go On and These are the days of our Lives to name a few.
I had to stifle a giggle when the dude says: "...Even I know this song...and I'm black!" HAHAHA! Dude, music transcends ALL. Doesn't matter if you're black, white or sky blue pink...music speaks for itself! Love your YT channel. Just subscribed today after watching a clip of the twins' reaction to Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" on CBS news. Hilarious! Of course, I had to find your channel. Music gold. Keep it coming. Please listen to "LAYLA" by Derek and the Dominos with live reaction. Derek is Eric Clapton - pure classic gold and sick guitar. Thanks again!
Music does transcend through all races; however being honest, sometimes races are not as familiar with certain genres. I am about to start listening to Latin American music for first time, and I'm no spring chicken. None of my family or friends ever listened to it. I think based on race their could be barriers, and I think that is what he is referring to.
Hearing this always makes me smile! When Freddie was dying, all the radio stations had a Queen CD ready to put in and, without choosing a track, just hit play. A DJ at Radio City in Liverpool, I can’t remember his name, was the one to play the disc after the announcement, I bet you can guess what’s coming...he put the disc in, pressed play and up came this one, I know Freddie would have laughed so hard 😂🤣
Your appreciation of Queen is so authentic and beautiful, it warms my heart. I have spent the entire weekend watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your joy!!!
When Freddie Mercury first started with Queen he broke the microphone when trying to take the microphone of the stand, he has always used this broken microphone ever since......❤
Totally epic! The one downside regarding the Montreal concert is that everyone knew it was going to be taped and the audience was told to behave, something that Queen didn't want. Their concerts are all about the audiences responding, singing along and participating. Lesson learned-when Queen tells you to sing along, do it! The Budapest and Wembley renditions of this, tie your mother down and tear it up are explosive!
40 years later I realize he’s wearing a Habs cap on stage, love it! After all, they had won 4 in a row at the time leaving everyone else biting the dust.
Back in the 70's this was my favorite song to have on while shootin pool, get into the groove and shoot with the beat. God, those were the days, I really miss em. You kids really missed out on a lot. Good that you can appreciate the musical legacy we left for you.
The bassist is the one who came up with the beat, and the song was heavily influenced by Black music. They were reluctant to release it, but Michael Jackson convinced them to. Also check out Let’s Dance by David Bowie.
Roger Taylor, the drummer, is who you hear backing him up on the chorus vocals. Roger has a great voice, as does the lead guitarist, Brian May. If you haven't seen the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody," it's required viewing! You'll love it!
When this song came out, I was 10 years old,... I had the 45...that's a vinyl record...I used to put the speakers in my bedroom window and blast this song while riding my bike up and down the driveway. Now watching this young man discover this song, this band, in 2020,,... it's a fantastic feeling. The world might just turn out OK :)
Love the look!!! You're priceless. John " Deaky" Deacon, the bass player wrote this. I'm sure someone has already filled you in, but he had problems with a mic stand and just whipped off the base and sang with the mic and the boom. Became his trademark. Me again. Lol. This was a 2day concert in Montreal and producers told the band they had to wear the same outfit both nights for editing. Well, everyone knows you don't tell Freddie how to stage a performance. So the second night was stripped down to short shorts and talent busting out the seams!
"Everybody know that song.....even I know the lyrics to that song, bro......and I'm.....I'm black" Lol. Good for you! Now I'm hooked to your channel and yes, I subscribed!
Did he just say back in the old days lmao! Man I feel like a dinasour now lol. Love your reactions. Keep them up. When you get a chance can you please react to some more Aerosmith and Poison- Something to believe in (music video)
Since you love Queen and Freddie so much, I think you'll probably also appreciate David Bowie. Maybe start with Under Pressure, which features both Freddie and David.
Sometimes my only regret..is I didn't get the opportunity to take young folk like you to one of their concerts......you would have to get them in concert online...you 're in love with Queen!!!
His mic stand broke during a performance early in his career and he was left with the top half of the stand and he liked being able to carry it around on stage like that, it gave him more freedom to perform.
@@t.morrison4400 I am a piano major/voice minor from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania School of Music. I am intimately aware and accomplished in every form of music as well as musicians and styles through out the ages: classical, jazz, rock, rap, hip hop, theater, country, pop, etc. Perhaps you will be less judgemental if I would have prefaced my comment, and tribute to the late Freddie Mercury with: "In my opinion".
The bass player actually wrote this song. They weren't going to release it as a single, but Michael Jackson talked them into it and it became their biggest hit
Freddie Mercury sings, using the whole mike stand, because the first time he performed with the band( they sang "Keep Yourself Alive") The mike got stuck to the stand & he could not loosen it, so he took the whole thing! This became his trademark! I am not sure, but I think "Another One Bites the Dust" was written by John Deacon ( guitar player) ,but, the band eventually decided that ,since all of them wrote many songs that not one person would be credited, but all songs would be credited to the whole band, in the interest of solidarity! You ought to.check out the movie ,"Bohemian Rhapsody," It is pretty close to a lot of the biographies I have read! In fact, I may be wrong, but I understand that it was produced by the remaining members of the band many years after we lost Freddie! Also, you might want to react to Queen's "Hammer to Fall "& " Don't Stop Me Now" ! You might enjoy them! Great reaction! Thanks for appreciating Queen!
"too comfortable" ... love it! Makes me nervous but, Freddie can do no wrong.... John Deacon, bass guitar -the guy in blue wrote it. Queen too fabulous. First time finding your reactions. Nice!
Legend has it, Freddie struggled with a mic stand early in their career and broke it off. He decided it was a perfect prop and just always used a half mic stand. You’ll see him punching alot. He was a boxer in school. He IS the 🐐 man.
@@howiedavis2316 Another lesser known fact, Freddie Mercury was MARRIED for a short time to his best friend. They divorced when he came out but remained the best of friends. She was also his confidant. If I'm not mistaken, he left her a small fortune upon passing. Still miss him.
@@howiedavis2316 Her name is Mary Austin. She was the love of Freddie's life and even to his death, he proclaimed his undying love for her, but he was gay and she understood, never making any judgement. I looked it up and come to find out, Freddie left his mansion to her that she lives in to this day. Only last year, she finally removed the tribute to Freddie. He left her 50% of his fortune, including royalties, money, interest in anything Queen-related that he had a claim. He left the balance split with his mother, sister and whatever charities he donated. Upon their death, their share reverted to Mary.
