Queen - One Vision (Extended) 1985 Official Video (Reaction!!!!) 

Yes Queen in this song referenced Martin Luther King's work as they believed the message of one world, one union and one vision was so needed. Their Innuendo song speaks of pretty much the same .. Barriers such as Religion, race and sexual preferences have throughout history been the cause of much of the problems in the world...In fact Freddie experienced a lot of this prejudice himself due to where he was born and his own sexual preferences. Queen tried to address these issues through some of their songs and hoped that music would be the catalyst to Unite !!

If you look for " Queen - One Vision Documentary " you will see a 20 mins video with them making the song.

I love the meme going on to goes “find a man who hypes you like Freddie hypes roger during that drum solo” lol

Definitely watch the making of this song. It's very interesting

Fantastic that you respect the band enough to research. Thumbs up! 👍🏼

Love that you love and understand Queen. They are educated intelligent and inclusive people. 😊👑💖🎼🎸🎙️🇬🇧

This has ALWAYS been my absolute FAVORITE Queen song. It never gets the love or credit it truly deserves. Thank you for this!

As a white man, I'm not qualified to judge if it is better today than in 1985. Yes, I studied history, but I was in the Army for most of my young life, so I'm honestly very ignorant on the subject as we worked together, every race, color or creed and if we didn't, we died together. Today, everyone has a cell phone and there is more media coverage, so I can now see what was censored from me in my young life, but I'm only one voice. All I can do is teach my children what is right and wrong and hope they do the right thing. Thanks for posting your opinions and keep spreading the love.

Im telling you good sir watch live at wembley '86 this is the first song they play... where he wears the iconic yellow jacket👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

That was Awesome !! Loved the drums, the enjoyment behind the scenes. Remember Freddie was called names that were not who he was. Add to that his sexuality. He was all for EQUALITY the whole band was.

Roger Taylor wrote the original song, he talks about it in an interview (it's on youtube) and he says it was about MLK, Ghandi, people like that and MLK's "dream speech" was a big part of it. Freddie told him the song was too hard to sing the way he had it written and Roger let him change it around. I sucked at pinball too btw.

This song was used as the theme to the film "Iron Eagle"

one true religion = music

You should really react to the making of One Vision! It is so cool to watch them write this song!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is a hugely underrated Queen song and one of my favorites! Roger has a good heart and so does Queen and you can see it in these lyrics. No one's perfect but they have had a fascinating journey of discovery and really honed in on what was really important in thier later years. I'm glad you found this song and that it resonated with you! 💜

I've never heard this extended version of "One Vision" before, and I thought I had everything Queen ever recorded. I've gone looking for it, but have discovered it's still only available on vinyl. A real shame because I love it!

I’m so glad you are giving Queen the recognition they have yet to achieve.

Oh yeah please check out the „One vision documentary“ as well🔥🙏🏻 it’s not really a documentary more like a „behind the scenes“ vid tho. It’s amazingly interesting to watch legends like they were or better said still are working on their songs👌🏻 such a great group of guys!! It’s cool to follow you through your Queen journey 🙌🏻🎉! U are a great reactor btw💁🏼‍♀️ Please check out the songs „Who wants to live forever“ and „Liar“ soon☺️

You're right. They did have a lot of fun in the studio. Of course they also were dead serious about the quality of their work & often bickered, but they always worked it out. They were like brothers who fought, blew off steam, made up & kept going...lucky for us. You'd love "Dragon Attack." Please do the Montreal '81 live version. You mentioned before liking the drums in their music. Watch how (after Freddie has fun with the audience for a couple minutes) Roger plays a shifting intro to the song. However you really need to hear the studio version too. It's so sharp & just perfect, and it's impossible to hold still listening to it (I dare ya!)! A comparison reaction would be great!

I'm enjoying how much you're loving Queen, as I'm re-discovering them too since seeing the movie. And yes, love the message of the song.

You must see this at Wembley, they opened every concert of The Magic Tour with this song to get the crowd goin

Great reaction! This gives me goosebumps everytime!!!!

Love how much you're loving Queen. Check out Dragon Attack. And I'll always want you to do I'm Going Slightly Mad (must read lyrics first and go into it for the visual story more so than the music alone).

Thank you soooo much for reacting to this! Awesome song, AMAZING video! Full Jam session! My favourite reaction channel, you feel the music and lyrics. 👍♥

This song will always make me think of both Queen (obviously) and Iron Eagle :) (that old 1980's film)

there is a behind the scenes video of them recording this song. You have to watch it!

(Fried Chicken) If you watch closely you might catch some John Decon on drums

11:49 “FRIED CHICKEN!”

Yeah, they had so much fun that they ended the song with one of the made up lines Freddie was singing while recording: "Fried chicken", LOL! Some people say it was Jim's idea (Freddie's boyfriend) to keep it that way, some people say it was someone else's. Whatever the case, it was hilarious. I mean what kind of ending can you give to a song as profound as this one except the crazy "I'm f*cking hungry, damn it!" line?

This song was used in the 1980's movie Iron Eagle. Great song one of my favorites.

Didn't see it any where below -- It was also the featured song on the Movie, IRON EAGLE.

Now you need to see the Wembley 1986 Live version !!!

Dragon Attack Live in Montreal as well as Freddie’s vocal improv with the crowd there No One But You (Only The Good Die Young). I’m not sure but I think this song was about Freddie after he died. Brian and Roger sing together in this song and it’s pretty good. In My Defence just by Freddie How Can I Go On by Freddie and Monsterrat Caballe. Sad to think that both of these artists have passed. Also react to Freddie’s vocal improv with crowds

I've heard this song a number times over the years, but it finally struck me the last time I heard this song, before seeing this, that they were referencing Martin Luther King.

Thanks my bruh for your reaction. It's nice that you discovered new music who ain't your lane!😊"No hate, no fight, just excitation. All through the night it's a celebration". We should always chill and fuck with each other. Makes us seeing different perspectives and in the end better people 😊"The Miracle" also has a nice messag AND video! Or "Princes Of The Universe" a nice and fast rock song 😊

Lol I love it! “I can’t see how this can possibly be about Martin Luther King”.... 30 seconds later... “ah shit ok I get it” :) Fantastic song!

Hey there, great Queen reaction videos, just finished going through them, starting from your first Bohemian Rhapsody. It's funny how you say in some of the reactions how Queen has evolved and I see how you've actually evovled in doing your Queen reactions, from where you said about them wearing blouses in Bohemian Rhapsody to now researching each song before hand to educate yourself on the song and being so impressed by how many songs you already knew of but having no idea they were all Queen songs. Very cool!!! Also in the movie that record executive not thinking Bohemian Rhapsody would work, that actor was played by Mike Myers who starred in Wayne's world and brought Bohemian Rhapsody its new found fame, and where everyone says "hey I've heard this song before when doing those reaction videos!! Lol! 😊

Ps you’re doing a great job with the queen stuff! Us Queen fans appreciate it don’t forget to react to Queen Dragon Attack Studio version thanks!

I watch your reactions only now. I have really been getting into reactions to Queen. I am proud that you and your generation, my children, are seeing how much Queen has contributed to the music today. Thank you for the energy and interest in our, old people's) music!

About your thoughts on this song never reaching you...it's a beautiful thing that you & some other reaction channels are bringing people together over music. Cultural differences, race, gender, age, all drop by the wayside when we're listening & discussing together. Also, it's never too late to spread the word. If you have friends & family who only listen to hip-hop, rap, any limitation, let them know that there's some good classic rock out there that's worth listening to. And a lot of those artists were socially conscious & reflected it in their music along with their music that was just plain fun to rock out to. It's funny. As a suburban white kid I grew up listening to the great Motown artists, rhythm & blues, funk (everybody from James Brown to The Temptations), right along with the great British classic rock bands. We loved all kinds of music. And I hate to see younger people of any race or cultural background think they only like one or two kinds of music. I know some white kids who have only been interested in hip-hop, which is fine, but they're finally starting to branch out. Reaction channels are a positive trend for all of us, and I think yours is one of the best.

I don’t know if you’ve done it, but One Vision Live at Wembley in 1986 is fantastic. This song is even more relevant today I believe.

The drums are definitely reminiscent of their song, "The Invisible Man". They had three (?) released versions of the song, including one that was played at EDM Clubs (before there was EDM)

Did you see the Bohemian Rhapsody movie? The timeline is twisted in it but its a great movie to show you their journey. It got a Golden Globe for a reason. And Rami Malek as Freddie is perfection.

This song's lyrics are amazing; anything that supports unification is always one step above others for me. I mean, I love songs about everything else, of course....but I will always uphold, and strive to constantly echo, any voice or work that speaks out against division of people due to difference of race, religion, social "status", gender, sexuality, etc. It's such an important message to get across to everyone, and can never be repeated enough. This song also echos some sentiments of John Lennon's "Imagine", even though that song was so controversial and misunderstood. I just love songs that deliver a real message shrouded in good music. It tends to infiltrate the conscience on a different level....especially if you're a music lover. Thank you for reacting to this!

You're right. I think they held it back from the USA.

Yeah, for whatever reason, this song didn't get a lot of radio play, so I could see how a lot of people haven't heard it. It's my favorite Queen song regardless. Glad you're digging it. Keep up the great work!

Queens "It's a Kind of Magic" Album was used as the soundtrack the cult classic film "Highlander", amazing album.

This song is even more relevant in 2020, wish it could be played everywhere again

I hadn't heard this song before and I LOVED it so much! Also, the documentary showed the hard work the time and the collaboration of the band. You could really tell they could almost read each other's mind and how close they really were. This was so fun and such a good message. THANK YOU for doing this song.

Freddie was a very sensitive man. I miss him very much, but know that we see everyone again who has a good heart.

This has always been one of my fav Queen songs. I love it's role in Iron Eagle (movie); just total kickass why he's flying that F16. Epic.

Wow!!! Loving your reaction. I never realized the correlation. So happy I watched this. Always been one of my favorite Queen songs... I'd like to think that it's because of how great musically and lyrically it was!

The location of this video is the Musicland Studios in Munich where the spent a lot of time during the early 80. The guy who is constantly banging his head against the desk is Mack one of their producers. As far as I know was Freddie the godfather of one of his kids.

I thank you for seeing this song for what it truly was.

have you been able to react to their Live Aid performance in 1985. It's definitely considered one of the best live shows ever in rock music. I remember being 16 years old and sitting in recording the entire concert. From when it started in England and it ended in Philadelphia. But believe it or not there's only a couple of parts of it that I really remember. Definitely Queen! My first 45 small vinyl was Another One Bites the Dust when I was 12 I think. Would love see you react to the Live Aid concert. It stopped everyone and their tracks and the Radio Gaga part is amazing with the crowd reaction. Just starting to binge watch your videos and just subscribe to your Channel. And enjoying what you doing. A couple of great songs I would love to see you react to are by Chris Stapleton. My favorite is the Austin City Limits live version of "I Was Wrong". Chris actually sounds better live than studio. Plus you can see his amazing guitar playing. There's also a song called Tennessee With. He did a country music award live version of it with Justin Timberlake. And then the song Sometimes I Cry. Thanks for the great videos

Anybody else notice how Freddie put his whole body into singing even in the studio? One of the many reasons he was so great.

This song was written for the movie Highlander as was all the songs on the album it's a kind of magic but queen held the rights to the album instead of it being a movie soundtrack as they had written all the songs. There were a load of classy songs on this album such as one vision, it's a kind of magic, who wants to live forever, prince's of the universe this was my 1st album I bought and it was a classic.

This is one of my favourite queen songs ! Thanks for reacting to this Do as the other ones say in the comments and watch "the making of one vision by queen"! And please react to song The miracle also, one of them most beautiful songs by Queen the lyrics are amazing

Don't let anybody try to fool you, Queen is full of surprises! We Will Rock You/We are the champions. These two songs follow one another on the album News Of The World and we're always played together. Released as a single, it became their only double-sided #1 hit in the USA.

You should watch the making of I want to break free. Hilarious 🎄❤🎄❤

As much fun as this song is (& high energy), the lyrics have always given me a lump in my throat. And as a Southern white woman I have to say (about that last line) don't we all love fried chicken?💙 That might be the point. I also love your thoughtful reactions and the fact you appreciate this talented band so many people have loved all our lives.

You have to check out the making of One Vision... it's great to see the way they work together so well, and how funny they are when they cut up.

"Fried chicken"!!! 😂😂😂😂 Total awesomeness!!!

It's always been in my top 3 queen songs from 1st listen back in 85

1 year old in '85? Aay, you're the same age as me! I thought there must be a reason you're so thoughtful and insightful.

Their music helped lead character in movie "iron eagle" find his rhythm and timing when flying

Brian and Rodger is touring with Adam Lambert now. I think it’s been 5 yrs now that they added Adam. John stopped Music a couple of years after Freddie died. I think they said John still does their finances though. I’m reading a book called ‘Freddie Mercury’ by Peter Freestone which talks about how intense getting ready for a concert and about Freddie. Very good read.

This song was in the 1986 movie 'Iron Eagle' with Louis Gossett Jr. I know the song from that movie growing up and didn't know it was Queen for the longest time.

Yes! Thank you so much for reviewing this! I love, love, love this song by Queen! They made a little parody of the lyrics in this song, “One dump, one turd, two tits, John Deacon” in the making of video. Oh my goodness it was funny. But, thank you so much for reviewing! The lyrics in One Vision are so powerful!

#TheMatthewsFam I have never heard anyone connect this song to Martin Luther King Jr, and I’m old enough to have seen Queen as a teen! LOL Thanks for a very interesting interpretation!

Love all your reviews my friend. Keep up the good work. 😊

Just watched this reaction. A few of their songs were about , the troubles in the world and nothing has changed if anything it's worse , innuendo ,and the miracle have beautiful references to the times we live in , I think freddys family had to move countries a couple of times because of , wars and hatred ,good luck from Liverpool uk x

'One Vision', affectionately known as 'Fried Chicken', it becomes clear at the end of the song.

Precious reaction, as usual. Much love!

The world could have really used Freddie these days. One world, one soul my good man. There’s still good in the world don’t worry

You were 1 and I was 19, yet here 31 years later we are rocking out on it together .

One Vision Live from Wembley. I'm new to your channel and noticed you like to see the crowds reaction. It's a great one. Love your channel And watching you discover some really great stuff. All the love to you!

Love this song and it's message , as you said the world hasn't changed even today ,but world leaders blame everything going wrong in the world on religion , race , anything but their own ignorance which puts race against race ,faith against faith ,I hope things do get better ,thanks for your reaction , from Liverpool uk

Oh man, I love your video's! I don't regret subscribing to your channel: you make watching video's so much fun !

This viewer who is old enough to be your great aunt, lol, absolutely is loving your reactions. Think that Freddie is bringing all of us together again. I think he would be "delighted".

This was the opener for their Wembley shows in 86....there aren't many songs that end with 'fried chicken'!!!

I had not heard of the "Genius" site till you started referencing it! ... And I totally understand what you meant re your feelings on not having heard the song earlier in life; better late than never

You have no idea how happy you make me by enjoying Queen almost as much as I do. Keep it coming Babe! 1980’s Fat Bottom Girl from Old HB, NYC

Not as well known as some of their other songs, but it was a great tune put out late in their careers (1985, I think?). It's a hidden gem.

Love your reaction to this song 👍🏻👍🏻

a timeless message

No brother it’s not just you. Music has always had the ability to bridge gaps and unite people

You were dead on! Even Roger Taylor said this song was completely about MLK! 😁👍👍👍

It should have been heard by so many more people. It should have been played in areas that normally would not play rock music, but it wasn't. They didn't care about the message or the support that was being given they were not going to play "those peoples music especially if it wasn't jazz, R&B, Motown etc. Such a shame.

Queen did have fun in the studio,they had fights to but that was necessary for the creative proces.It was a way for them to get the songs perfect.And in every family you have fights,and that was Queen they were family.They were often ahead of their times,that is why they are still immensely popular.

Song gives me the chills. What a loss. I'm thankful for what they gave.

Try a react video to the final song he ever sang. Mother Love. Some of his finest vocals however could not finish it off unfortunately.

Queen were fucking awesome! RIP Freddie!...

Song is fire so underrated Great reaction man!

What's up Matt, I hope you don't mind the nickname. Glad you love Queen. Watch two videos, Queen the making of "One Vision, and live at Wembley 1986, they open with "One Vision" you will love it. I was there in 1986,stationed at Lakenheath Air Force Base. The best group ever assembled is Queen, just wait til you hear more of their songs. Fat bottom girls, leave on time, and take my breath away, studio versions. Get at me and be a good husband and father.👍. Don't forget to pray!🙏

I meant this Country was so divided the riots and even though it's .worse now. They had big time vision. They wrote about things to come. I am so glad they made music that still goes on.

There were terrible riots in the US after the killings of RFK & MLK in 1966-67. This may have been considered too controversial / incendiary at the time. I love it.

Prophetic beyond words. .... That's all, really. I don't think I can add to that ....

Hey maaaan I love your reactions as always. You never disappoint. By the way, if you want some off stage, off camera docus, Queen: Rock the World might be a good suggestion. Not avail on YT tho. Dailymotion is where I watched it.

Another good one to review would be “Hammer to Fall” or “Cool Cat” which is there more “funky” song. ☺️
