#Queen 

Yes!

Thank God no kind of cell phone at all back then. Nothing,,, you brought a camera, such Brilliance, Gone Too Soon

When I started doing the cellphone thing.. I didn’t even use the light. I downloaded a zippo app that shows a lighter on screen

And let’s not forget how unbelievably talented the whole band was and still is.

Ahahaha...I know it, huh???🙋‍♀️

I cried for days when freddy died 😢😪😞💔

yes

Many of Queen’s music is used today in Commercials and I always smile....their Music is Timeless

LOVE the way you spell your name! AGREED completely - he's just a darling kiddo!

OMG, me too. I was born 1967 and I still love the music of of the 60s, 70s, 80s and some of the 90s. I really am enjoying watch a younger crowd getting into the music I grew up to. I put in a suggestion for Harry Capin's Cat's Cradle. Reminds me of my early childhood and my sister who has passed

Me too. This is like how I feel about Queen.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

@@MrBarbjhix I was born in 1967 as well! Love all kinds of music.

Me too. I'm in tears

He played the crowd like an instrument

Freddie Mercury is the GOAT above all GOATs - and the same goes for the full band.

His crowd control is unmatched even today!

Don't forget the rest of the band. They are ALL GOATS,

If Freddy had lived, they would have stayed together.

@@fidgetshouse they are together. Adam Lambert is now lead singer!

#preach 🙌🥰❤

Funny thing is growing up Freddie and Queen made many songs that I knew in the hood being a hip hop and r&b fan. I must say I did listen to music outside of hip hop and r&b, could be my Haitian background being exposed to Tropicana, soca, reggae and Latin music early.

Always leave people wanting more

Same. We had the BEST music in the 60s-70s !

The 70s was the Concert generation for sure.

You know you're a huge deal when inner city kids that mostly listen to hip hop knows or heard of you.

I'm in my 40s and I also first learned the songs in school before learning about the artist

@Daniel Cook ▶"GOATED!"

Two days Ago... FREDDIE MERCURY'S Queen bandmate Roger Taylor celebrated his birthday today with a beautiful tribute, saying "We still miss you." -Express

JUST GREAT MUSIC!

Maybe the only-trousers kept some peoples attention?

@@Liquessen Maybe?

@@patriciarockwell2227 that's all it took.

Apparently the band had been told to wear the same clothes on both nights for continuity of filming. . However, the shorts, hat and bare feet were Freddie's reaction to that!!! He was not happy being instructed about what to wear.

@@bk9852 teenaged boys aren't known for open mindedness. Boys don't want to be labeled and mocked but this child, a young black boy already at risk, just doesn't care. It's beautifully refreshing. Your friendly neighborhood LGBT+

He is just listening to a song no more no less no judgement

@@shellybear627 I have never met a single person who cared if someone was gay or not because at the end of the day they're just a person. most people that I've met are pretty open-minded about sexuality and such - sincerely a teenage boy with too much free time.

@@lite_stuff9184 well my darling teen boy, as someone MUCH older, you live in a very different world from the rest of us. That is not true for the rest of us.

@@shellybear627 are you assuming he's "already at risk" because he happens to black? Ya know, making assumptions about a person based on their ethnicity is oh what's the word? Ah yes racist.

Same here!

I love watching young people listen to music that was already classic when I was a kid in the 80s.

I was about to write the same thing!! I know he will enjoy the movie!

Absolutely! Even better... react to it!

Love that movie!

So true. I love how their exploration of musical Genres is educating so many younger generations into what great music is! Many of these songs have been sampled!

i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I love any help you can give me.

Kasey Ray this was out when I was in 5th grade.

I get mad, like yell @ the radio mad, when they only play 1 song.

I only just found out that it wasn't one song! Lol

I am 38 years old and I didn't know that it wasn't all one song. I cant think of a time when I have heard either of them separately.

@@silvertarot25 agree! Pisses me off when they only play one!

1977. My Sophomore year in high school. Iconic man, band, song, and time. WE (my high school's football team) Are the champions in high school football. 6th most winningest HS team in the USA.

We are the champions! The winning song after every winning game.

Hey, another 70 year old! Do you realize we're only 3 years away from Freddie? Him---1946 Us---1949 I think about it a lot! Wish I was born in the UK.(I know he wasn't born there but he lived most of his life there)

Another one in her 70s. I am glad about all the kids that played this in school. But I am in the south where they would not let school bands play these two songs for years. Guess they thought singing these songs would turn the kids Gay. I was very glad when I started hearing them played by school bands

Lolol

You need to listen to Frankenstein by Edgar Winter

Freddy really knew how to work the crowd. I don't think anyone does it better.

You and me both. I keep saying, "Just one more. I swear."

same here ...i have a report to do .. lol .... love the videos bro ..keep them coming

Jaunty Hat Society Freddie wrote this. Brian wrote We Will Rock You

Oh ,i thought this was We Will Rock You

@@jauntyhatsociety6922 It's both.

On my album it says Brian May as writer

We will rock you is first...so you're correct!

...and opera, blues & jazz. Love watching a new generation discovering music from our decades. Music w bring us together.

@@bjwaugh4294 How about "Barcelona"? Freddie could even sing opera and it was gorgeous! (What a voice!)

@@bjwaugh4294 In a way, Gospel too.

Agree!

Absolutely. Helps put the music in context with the era, too. Very good movie.

Definitely

The movie is NOT about their career, just their Live Aid show and as far as the whole movie goes, even Brian May (guitarist) said some of the dates were wrong.

1000% watch the movie! ❤

Dora Ricard , yup, me too. Lol. At 53, it’s amazing to watch his priceless reactions-and to remember myself at that age. There’s just something magical about incredible music and youth- -together. Gives me goosebumps. ❤️

The rolling stones are Lead singer... Mick jagger Lead guitar.... Keith Richards Drums............ Charlie watts Hang on... gotta pee

The Flash Gordon tracks are great too.

I agree

I really want him to react to 'Who Wants to Live Forever'.

They did the music to the TV show also

I loved Highlander. And when they played Who wants to live Forever, I’d have tears running down my face.

Ahh that's interesting as I've been seeing some comments lately on the Mandela effect and the end of this song, people thinking that 'of the world' was at the end of the original recording,and it wasn't!

I always liked the cliffhanger! I just thought they meant champions period. Of everything! I always thought that was so boss. Lol

Seriously, only Queen could command a concert without actually being there! That's an amazing clip. Gave me goosebumps

I was just going to suggest the same thing!!!!

Totally!!! The movie is amazing!!

Texas Magnolia loved it! Rami deserved the Academy award. The movie was a little off w/ timing & some facts, but it’s hard/impossible to put 20 years of a man’s life into a two hour movie. Most people don’t know this but Freddie mercury and Tim ( The former lead singer of Smile- The band with Roger and Brian prior to Queen) we’re best friends from graphic arts school. Freddie Mercury movie Brian and Roger very well and at one time before they even formed a band, they shared a flat together. Times were hard and Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor had a store in Kensington market that they had to make money to live & eat. When Tim left Smile, Brian and Roger we’re going to throw in the white towel. That’s when Freddie Mercury was the catalyst and told them they couldn’t give up, and they had him - as a singer. They renamed the van and of course it was Freddie Mercury‘s choice. I thought it sounded regal. The movie makes it look like he didn’t meet the band until later on but in truth he met them probably around 1966-1967

AND an Astrophysicist too!

Now voted the best in the world

Queen's version is better than most school bus cover versions. lol...

That's my favorite....

Oh yes! Good one!!

That is 1 of the all time greats without question.

Same! Class of 1986!

And time 😉

Many times :) - but I'll ask for this one again also

Absolutely!!! And Live Aid from 1985!!

Carole Palmer Fun song!!! Sooo funny

Oh my. My father did the same thing when he was overseas in Vietnam War. He was in the Airforce and came home with 2 complete pioneer stereo systems. lol
