QUEEN Somebody To Love Live In Montreal 81 Reaction!!! 

Freddie is hands down the best front man in music history

Freddie passed November 24, 1991 and left a huge hole in all our hearts. So thankful for these recordings.

Roger Taylor the drummer has amazing vocals as well specially his falsetto

He's a jazz, soul, blues, rock, metal, opera... you name it singer. He could literally do all genres hands down.

No auto tune No voice enhancing equipment just pure natural talent something we don’t hear today.

Best. Frontman. Ever. Period,full stop.

I was 18 when Freddie passed away. It was one of the worst days of my life. He kept his illness from the public, so when the news was released, nobody saw it coming. It felt like having the breath knocked out of you. 😭 He’s the absolute best. Nobody will ever come close. ❤️

Hey, Brian May was doing thrash metal before it had a name. And Superman wears a Freddie Mercury shirt.

The UK truly mourned when Freddie Mercury died. This was a man in band who totally mesmerized crowds of hundreds of thousands of people with no modern trickery. He and them were legendary and it was an honour to witness their amazing talent.

Freddie Mercury said in an interview that he is not the leader of the band he is the lead singer and that they are all equal.

Freddie wasnt a star, he was a freakin comet. and yes, his departure was soul crushing

Freddie’s showmanship was through the roof

When Freddie died i was 13 yrs old and i cried a week and sometimes i still cry today. Now i have a 5 yr old son i named Freddie and he and his little brother, both love Queen.

The guitar player, Brian May is very underrated. When us normal mortals are asked who are the best guitar players, it is easy to pick a Top 10 list of who we think are the best. But, what your peers have to say about you is another story. In a March issue of Guitar World magazine, the cover story is 30 on 30. Thirty guitarists reviewing the work of 30 other guitarists. Steve Vai wrote about Brian. KING OF QUEEN BRIAN MAY BY STEVE VAI "I don't think enough is really said about the brilliance of Brian May's guitar playing, in the sense that it's overshadowed by the music itself. The Queen II album was one of those pivotal moments that just nailed me to the wall. "He's probably one of the top identifiable guitar players, even more so than Beck, Page, and Clapton. They're all so identifiable, but Brian May has such a tone in his head and in his fingers. It speaks volumes. His contribution to orchestrated guitars is unprecedented. There was nothing like it before him. To me, it was like when Edward Van Halen came along and reshaped the sound of electric guitar. That's what I heard in Brian May's playing. It's something that's inherent in the brain of the guitar player. "I remember working with Frank Zappa for the first time. I had just moved out to Los Angeles, and nobody knew me. I was 21. I went out to the Rainbow Bar and Grill, and Brian May was there. I couldn't believe it. I mustered up every little bit of courage and went up to him and said, 'Thank you so much for everything you've done. I play guitar. I'm here in town with Frank Zappa.' He said 'Oh really? Why don't you come down to our rehearsal?' "I went down and he brought me up on the stage, and he let me play the guitar - the guitar that he built with his dad [the "Red Special"]. I couldn't even believe that I was touching this instrument! He was so kind and so warm, and for who? This kid, you know? And I played his guitar, and it sounded like Steve Vai. Then when he played it, it sounded just like Brian May. It was very apparent to me that his tone is in his fingers and his head. "He's a class act from head to toe, and it shows in his playing. I can listen to any player and pantomime their sound, but I can't do Brian May. He's just walking on higher ground."

I was in the front row for this show.

Queen did metal and every genre you have ever heard. Go deep. Best ever. Saw them 7 times. Love Freddie forever.

It’s like the whole world is rediscovering Queen. These reaction videos filling RU-vid are priceless! I watch them as often as I can!

For me... The best front man in rock history!

There's so much to be said about this. No auto-tune. They can all sing. They're all talented at playing instruments. No one will ever compare to the way he fronts a band. How he struts his stuff on stage. I've been to plenty of concerts. No one struts the way he does. He will always be #1. He owns the stage and audience. He knew how to balance his pride with his charisma. He knew he was the best. But he wasn't a cocky asshole about it.

12:12 exactly! They're all amazing...and Roger Taylor is an absolute beast on the drums and backing vocals

“He had 10 years left from the shooting of this video.” Yes, and it was EXACTLY 10 years to the day. The Montreal show was shot on November 24th, 1981, and we lost Freddie on November 24th, 1991.

“God loaned him to us”. That’s beautiful

He's of Indian heritage born in Zanzibar, I think. family moved to England when he was young.

Still crushing now. Freddie Mercury was an exceptional singer and person. No equal to this day. This performance has got to be one of the best performances of all times. Glad we can relive it thanks to RU-vid. It keeps Freddie alive in all of us. And who doesn't want somebody to love?

Also do Dont Stop Me Now by Queen!!!

Now...you gotta react to Live Aid Concert....the best ever by any band....and in that show Led Zepplin played too and i am a batshit die-hard Zepplin fan ....but for me that day Queen dominated the show. React to it...it is just one of the greatest.

What an absolute genius. They broke the mould when they made him he’s one of a kind. Also bear in mind that it was in 1981 with no technology behind them, just their collective pure talent.

Always happy to see people recognize the entire bands talent.. and especially Roger's talent with vocals and drums.. Priceless!

This reaction video shows two people falling in love with Freddie Mercury.

"God loaned him to us" Best quote ever! Freddie died on Nov.24, 1991, the same day as KISS' drummer Eric Carr. A terrible day I remember oh to well. Many of Queens song in retrospect are very eerie when you look at how and when he died. His last few years it was pretty obvious Freddie had AIDS and his music I think reflects that. His final song was The Show Must Go On. Tears!

Queen is one of the rare bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd that mesh together perfectly. How these bands came together is nothing short of musical miracles. And yea Freddie owns the stage.

Absolutely Epic. Freddie will never be matched. And Roger Taylor's vocals have always been so tragically overlooked. He's amazing in his own right. Just one of the best bands ever. You cannot watch clips of them live and not be enthralled. Side note: Freddie was born Farrokh Bulsara. His family was from Zanzibar before moving to the UK and were Zoroastrian.

Did you know? Brian May is a Doctor of Astrophysics and was a "science team collaborator" with NASA's 'New Horizons' Pluto mission.

Freddie Mercury is immortal. Truly blessed from somewhere above. I'm so jealous of you guys for getting to hear these songs for the first time. Queen will live on forever. One of the greatest bands of all time.

Freddie took the crowd to church...healed them and sent them home HAPPY! ❤️

Ok so, just some fun facts about Freddie’s vocal prowess!! He had a four octave range, which is incredible. He could go from a F2 to a F6. He had an “irregular” vibrato, which is rare. His vibrato also went up to 7.04 hertz (the regular is 5.4-6.9) Most incredibly - he used something called subharmonics, which most humans can’t access. This basically means that he used something called “ventricular folds” in his throat along with his vocal chords). Typically only certain ancient tribes and monks can utilize this area of the throat to make sound. Simply - incredible. Then, you add his stage presence and you get magic. Oh - and if no one responded yet, Freddie passed away in 1991. His last video was “These are the Days of Our Lives”. It’s hard to watch, because he’s obviously very sick but, even still - his vocals are incredible. And he says a special “Good-Bye” to the world in the last line.

Freddy was a musical genius and possibly the best frontman ever.

Thanks for the great reaction. As an old rocker I’m still surprised at all the people seeming to just be discovering Queen, since I bought my first Queen album around ‘73 or 74. Still I couldn’t be happier about it. I love when people can still appreciate talent in this age of manufactured electronic pop dribble. Keep up the good work.

Freddie was an extraordinary talent and human being.

Freddie was desperately shy in real life but came alive on stage! and yes we Queen fans were gutted when he died in 1991

Guys, Welcome to the Church of Freddie. The, greatest frontman in rock and roll. That entire concert is available and Queen will knock you out with greatness. Enjoy.

if this mans voice dont give ya goose bumps...there is just something wrong, wrong, terribly wrong with you.

If you loved this, you HAVE to watch their entire Live Aid set. It’s 21 minutes-possibly ( probably) the greatest 21 minutes anyone has ever done in terms of pure stagecraft. When Queen finished their set, Elton John went up to them and hugged them all backstage and then said “You f***ers, there’s no point in anyone else going onstage now. You’ve stolen the whole show!”

Very nice to see you guys covering queen!! Freddie is the greatest vocalist of all time!

Yay, more Queen! Good stuff! I hope you'll do "The Show Must Go On" as well. Every note he hits in that one can send a chill down my spine

Queen is my favorite band ever and I was a teen during the 70’s and early 80’s. I cried when Freddie died. They were electrifying live! My best friend and I loved Queen and when she died last year, I played “You’re My Best Friend” at her funeral. I like to think she smiled down from Heaven and approved. I’m glad to see younger people enjoying Queen. Great reaction and review!

Queen live @ Wembley stadium one of the greatest live performances of all time, most bands strive to play at Wembley, and pull the crowds that Queen did there. Only the greatest performers can put on a great live show, even better then a studio recording.

hey guys freddie DID finally find someone to love he was with him until the day he died thankfully

Thanks for the upload. Every Queen performance had this. Freddies favorite. When things were done totally live.

6:53 Brian Mays guitar solos are ALWAYS on point!

You should react to them in Live Aid concert :)

Who can sing live like that? Best frontman ever!! 🔥🔥♥️♥️

A MUST WATCH, the best live performance ever (with a throat infection): QUEEN - LIVE AID 1985

To watch others marvel at Queen it makes me most satisfied to know that their music is just as great now as when I saw them in 1980.

I think you shoud react to Queen Live Aid concert guys. One of the gratest shows ever! Just 20 minutes!

Freddie was an Indian Parsi racially. His first band was at his school in Bombay, India. Parsis migrated from Iran to India 1000 years ago after Islam took over Persia.

I was blessed enough to be at this concert and saw Queen twice more.

Freddie Mercury es una Leyenda. Su música es tan actual y que bien que las nuevas generaciones están descubriendo esta maravillosa Banda. Freddie está mas vivo que nunca!!

The entire Montreal 81 concert is 🔥🔥🔥 I hope you also watch Live Aid 85 before moving on to other bands. It will only cement your respect for Queen and their level of talent.

Queen is hands down the only band that sounds considerably better live than in the studio. I actually prefer the Live at the Bowl '82 version in Milton Keynes, but that's just preferring something that is 100 % perfect over something (this) that is 99,9 % perfect ; )

definitly one of the greatest performance ever...they so nailed everything...

Esta reacción es la mejor de todas, comentarios y gestos de Vin y Sori. Gracias por compartir este video. Hace muy poco lo ví. Sigan haciendo videos. Gracias

Best Male Vocalist across ALL genres!!! Hands fucking down.

The whole 1981 Montreal concert destroys from start to finish! All but two songs are on RU-vid, (as separate clips not as a whole) The restored HD Quality is amazing, it must have taken a lot of time and computing power. React to *_'Save me'_* from the same show, you'll like that one. keep up the good work. xox

Greatest band of all time - PERIOD! By the way, Freddie died in November of 1991. And no, Queen were not a metal band but they had some metal songs and therefore metal moments: they pretty much invented thrash metal with the songs BRIGHTON ROCK and STONE COLD CRAZY. And their other metal songs: GIMME THE PRIZE, PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE, and I WANT IT ALL. Long live QUEEN!! 🤘🏻👑🤘🏻

THIS BAND IS THE BEST OF BRITISH! Saw them many times in the 70s and 80s one of the best live bands ever.

Yes, you need more exposure to THIS band, live performances, please, whenever possible.

Check out Live Aid 1985....its considered the greatest rock performance ever!

innuendo please,it's one of my favorites by queen.

He is the greatest vocalist ever ! I have followed Queen since 1973! Their music is amazingly timeless ! You must listen to their music , they all write the music of Queen , all wonderfully smart men who all are college educated also. Freddie is forever missed . But we thankfully have his videos and music ❤️❤️

5:01 when freddie sees he's being recorded then unleashes heavens chorus and sounds amazing.

Freddie Mercury’s actual name is Farrokh Bulsara.- details below from wiki: The Bulsara family gets its name from Bulsar, a city and district that is now in the Indian state of Gujarat and is today officially known as Valsad. In the 17th century, Bulsar was one of the five centres of the Zoroastrian religion (the other four were also in what is today Gujarat) and consequently "Bulsara" is a relatively common name amongst Parsi Zoroastrians. ^ On Mercury's birth certificate,[13] his parents defined themselves with "Nationality: British Indian" and "Race: Parsi". The Parsis are an ethnic group of Persian origin and have lived on the Indian Subcontinent for over a thousand years.

Since you're diversifying, why not try David Bowie? Space Oddity would be an awesome introduction

I *L❤️VE* when Freddie playfully "fistfights" toward Roger and Roger enthusiastically joins in the fun, standing up with that look on his face while drumming in response. Just SO adorable to me.... ❤️ It never fails to warm my heart & make me smile/laugh.☺️

You have a great reaction....I saw him live in 1980, cool grandma here! They were the best live band ever! I saw all of the greats back in the day. It was a sad day when he died, but he left a legacy of amazing music!!! He owned the stage!! RIP Freddie!

RIP Freddie, still LOVE you 😘

The studio version of the song is also outstanding, with Freddie hitting some notes that are difficult to hit over the course of a live show. The final line especially is goosebump inducing.

One of a kind , legend , Freddie Mercury, Queen best of all times❤

He is the greatest front man ever, a vocal range most singers would kill for, more than a legend...

Freddie Mercury was a showman and a great vocalist and queen live performances are incredible

Some underrated Queen songs to consider reacting to: Dreamer's Ball Spread Your Wings White Queen (As It Began)

For those of us who've been enjoying Queen for years, it's fantastic to see new people coming to realise just how good they were. Especially when you identify the individual talents of of each member of the group. One thing, never forget John Deacon on bass - in combination with Roger's drums, that's the engine room right there. All four of them wrote songs and each one of them wrote hits.

QUEEN ... that it is all! Unreal no matter how many how much I watch listen I am floored and I grew up with during their career!

Both Brian May (guitarist) and Roger Taylor (drummer) sang several Queen songs. Them and Freddie were probably the best Rock vocal trio that ever existed. John Deacon (bass) also did backing vocals but he was a very shy person and never wanted to stood out. The perception of homosexuality in the 70's wasn't like today, obviously. Take Judas Priest's Rob Halford, for example: the way he acted on stage, his whole dress code... Many people saw in Rob the macho image. Turns out he was gay too.

"Queen is not a metal band" - Stone Cold Crazy please :D

Freddie was Persian, and the greatest singer/performer in rock, ever. 24.11.91 was the safest day in my life, I was devastated when he died, he was my childhood hero.

I was blessed to see Queen live in Baltimore in 1980. Freddie owned the crowd the moment he stepped onstage. What a talented group of musicians. It was great seeing your reaction!

First off Freddy was the whole package. He was born to be a star. He could bring a audience into the feelings of the song. Strongest stage presence to ever exist. He put all of himself into every song. The rest of the band was just as good. I had the luck to see them in person. Today's kids will never see such talent. Such a loss that the band never attempted to replace him.

Yep even tho God is surrounded by Angels, he missed these vocals , he recalled Freddie back to heaven.

What a voice Freddie 💛💛💛

He was an amazing singer, thanks for reacting!!

Kudos to Sori for outing Vin as a fake metal head! LOL

I've replayed this 4 times just to see Sori's expression as the music starts. Priceless. Freddie's talent, the bands tightness, can't be overstated; they we're huge. There are dozens and dozens of songs from their albums that most people (then and now) have never heard. The writing, harmonies and production value make them stand out and stand the test of time. I love watching people experiencing the magic for the first time. One of the best live sets they did was at Wembeley Stadium July 13, 1985 for the live aid concert. I believe Freddie was the best frontman in rock - no, in music - history. VIN and SORI - even if you don't do a react video, do yourself a favor and watch it just for the experience that over 100K people saw live. quite a show. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A22oy8dFjqc.html

Queen has conquered the world all age group now.most talented group till now.

Queen were ridiculously good

This is one of my favorite tracks from qreen this song is so beautiful it can bring everybody even me to tears because this song so beautiful

They all also wrote hits while in Queen. Freddie's family was from Persia (Iran). He had a Diploma in Graphic Art, others had degrees. In fact Brian May, lead guitar has a PhD in Astrophysics.

THE.BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVEEEERRRRRRR. THE EMOTION LEVEL AND THE INTENSITY IS JUST OTHERWORDLY
