If you want to see a REALLY impressive video of this song, watch Love of My Life Rock N Rio. The audience sings most of the first two verses to Freddie and the audience calls out to Brian for his guitar solo. Keep in mind, this is an audience whose national language is in Portuguese, yet they sing to him in perfect English.
Thank you for a great reaction....early in their career a manager swindled them out of a lot of money..they broke away from him...Freddie always turns his arse to the audience (they know what it’s about😂) to remind that manager, Norman Sheffield, what he missed out on when the band became huge🤩
They all were masters of their instruments and Freddie exactly knew how to feed the audiences from his palm of hands. If you love the acoustic sound you have to listen to the Dreamers Ball at Paris 79.
One of my favorite Queen songs is You take my breath away. If you haven't heard that yet it is a beautiful song and worth the listen. thank you for the reaction.
REQUEST: "WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER" LIVE ON FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1986 at WEMBLEY STADIUM (I specified the date because there are TWO 1986 Wembley concerts: Friday, July 11 & Saturday, July 12... Some performances were better on Friday, some were better on Saturday. For THIS song, the FRIDAY rendition IS. THE. BEST.) NOTE: There is a shorter video for this performance (under 5 minutes) and a longer video (over 5 minutes)... The longer one includes Freddie's FUNNY "politically incorrect" talk with the audience before the song.
Another beautiful song by Queen: SAVE ME, live in Montreal....his voice is so pure.....from his solo album: MADE IN HEAVEN video....his vice is made in heaven...sings a lot of high notes in this song
He is not underrated. Brain May. He was just knighted and is considered one of the top guitarist. Read about him. He is also a brilliant astrophysicist with a PhD and has an animal sanctuary called Save Me which is also the name of their song which you should watch live at Wembley. He is also a 3d photographer and is obsessed with the history behind it.
Innuendo. With the video. If you want something very meaningful. Also - Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe - Golden Boy. And for something harder - I Want it All.
This beautiful ballad was written by Freddie about long-time friend & former fiancée, Mary Austin. Tho their romance ended Mary remained an integral part of Freddie’s life until the day he died! IMO 👉 I think the lyrics are from Mary’s point of view (again, my opinion). Mary was the one who made the tragic phone call to his parents informing them of the loss of their beloved son! Anyway, please check out another lovely ballad by Freddie .. LILY OF THE VALLEY! 💐💐
5,000 thumbs up! It’s actually hard for me to recommend Queen II UNLESS it’s going to be listened to as an album the way the songs run into each other is part of the experience.
Love it! Totally agree, if you can master the art of making hit songs you'll get places. The difference with Queen is all band members wrote hit songs. They were the first group to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
just wanna say one of my fav bands queen definatly one of a kind all my freinds as a kid never accepted me listening too queen but i know good music and adam lambert also pretty good with them too they keep rockin awesome
Thanks for reacting to this very special song (even for Queen). I want you to know that I’m one of their legion of fans, listen to all the reactions to them, and I can honestly say yours is one of the very best! You did not bore us with “where have I heard this?” “I KNOW I heard this,” or other useless comments like “this reminds me of …” You actually listened to it without talking all through it!!! And most importantly, what you did say was relevant and interesting. Really looking forward to more of your reactions, especially to Queen of course! (Recommendations? All of theirs, but I think Somebody to Love, live at Montreal 1981, has to be one of their greatest performances, and the live performance of “Who Wants to Live Forever” is incredibly moving. Really showcases the power and beauty of Freddie’s voice.)
@@watchbizmatik You are very welcome - words from my heart ❤️. So much disrespect and anger out there on RU-vid right now that I had almost forgotten how many nice people are also out there, sharing a love of music and interest and respect for others’ opinions. Exemplified by YOU! 😎😻🎶
Brian isn't an under rated guitar player, he continues to be listed in the top guitarists in all the polls, and recently was listed as number 1 in two different ones. I love him with Queen and in his solo work. He is my favorite rock guitarist and that is saying a lot because I have so many favorites because there are so many who are absolutely amazing.
Great reaction, but everyone likes to throw the word "underrated" around these days. Brian may is anything but underrated. Anyone who knows anything about music puts him up there with the best guitarists of all time. He's an aptly rated guitar player. Meaning everyone realizes how great he is. If that's underrated what's appropriately rated? He should have someone blowing him at all times? I mean, yeah, he should, but if he doesn't that don't mean nothing.
Well you just answered your own question.. when the average person think of guitarist he doesn’t come to mind and he should because he has so many iconic riffs. That’s why he is underrated. That’s has nothing to do with his accolades and what other guitarist think.
@@watchbizmatik I get what you're saying but let's be honest, the average person doesn't even think about guitarists at all. They think of singers. Brian may might be underrated as a queen member, because for a lot of people they're "freddie and the others" but as a guitarist he's not, because the people that rate guitarists are not your average listeners.
@@watchbizmatik wait, because I don't wanna come out as being against of what you were saying. I understand you love Brian and think everyone should give him the love he deserves. My comment wasn't against that, or you, but that term "underrated" that I think we should pick carefully when to use it.
