TWO LEGENDS! | Under Pressure - David Bowie & Queen (Reaction) 

It pains me that people think of Vanilla Ice when they hear that bass hook

"TWO LEGENDS"..... ABSOLUTELY! You got that right JM. History holds a special place for those who reach their level of craftsmanship at producing Masterpieces of Musical Genius... Yes, both are certainly Legends.

This is the studio version being played for a live video clip

I think this is all of Queen, not just Freddie. But only Freddie and David are doing the vocals.

The David part is from the Freddie memorial concert where Annie Lennox sang Freddie's part. Worth watching. I actually prefer the rehearsal version most of all 🎉❤

This is a fan generated video, the footage of Bowie is from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert and Queen from a Wembley show. Though Queen and Bowie did collaborate on this song and recorded it, they never performed it live together or made a video, they wanted to but it just never worked out due to schedules and being in different places at different times. John Deacon wrote the bassline and from there this song grew during a jam session at Queen Studios in Montreux, Switzerland. Great song and well made fan video. Thank you for your reaction.

One of my favorite Queen songs plus Freddie’s vocals are absolutely delicious!! Under Pressure is ranked #2 in Rolling Stone Magazine’s Top Ten Rock Collaborations! 👏👏 Sadly, Freddie & David never performed it live together! Check out Freddie w/Queen at Wembley 1986 & David Bowie w/Annie Lennox at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert 1992.

HEY Hon! REQUESTS: “WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER” LIVE ON FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1986 At WEMBLEY STADIUM (I specified FRIDAY, JULY 11 because there are TWO 1986 Queen Wembley concerts: Friday, July 11 & Saturday, July 12… For THIS song, FRIDAY, JULY 11 is BY-FAR THE. BEST!) “FACE IT ALONE” Official LYRIC Video “FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS” LIVE AT MILTON KEYNES BOWL, 1982 “SOMEBODY TO LOVE” LIVE AT MILTON KEYNES BOWL, 1982 “ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST” LIVE AT MONTREAL, 1981 From Freddie’s operatic Barcelona album: “EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE” (Freddie’s ORIGINAL Barcelona album DEMO w just piano, NOT the orchestra remix.)

All time classic! ♥

Great song. Legends

Try Queen’s It’s Late , very underrated!

I noticed you perking up when Freddie started singing in his high falsetto. For a song where he sings completely in falsetto with a different vibe try Queen's "Cool Cat". It was written and recorded without any input from Brian and Roger. Bassist John Deacon plays all of the instruments except for the piano, which is played by Freddie. It's a cool groove and unlike anything you've heard from Queen so far. I really think you'll appreciate the detour in musical style and give you another aspect of their versatility! It was never performed live so you'll need to watch the Official Video which conveniently posted lyrics. The high range on Freddie is amazing! I'm really enjoying your reactions!

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury never actually sang this song live in concert. The original studio single gave title credits as Queen and David Bowie. 😊

It was a period a few artists did duos. Michael Jackson with Paul McCartney with their song say say, Elton John with George Michael. The good old days

The original video of this song has a quick scene from Nosferatu, a terrifying silent movie from 100 years ago. Please watch Nosferatu and Metropolis, prophecies from 100 years ago

Vanilla Ice stole the riff from Queen, they settled out of court. One stipulation was the song written by Freddie and David. Vanilla Ice eventually purchased the song from Queen.

Please Please react to SOUL BROTHER (written by Freddie for Brian), IT’S LATE (written by Brian who finds himself caught between a rock & a hard place), SEE WHAT A FOOL I’VE BEEN (written by John Deacon & his sassy bass). ❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻

After seeing so many live shows with real musicians playing real instruments and every note is real, I often wonder why anyone would pay to watch people jump around with nothing but their crotch in their hands, trying to spit out silly rhymes at what they call a concert.... I'll never understand that, but that's okay, I don't need to, There is so much Classic Rock available to keep me smiling.

They never performed the song together beyond the recording. Bowie didn't like it and wanted to scrap it. That's why he never performed it with Queen outside of tribute to Freddy.

FYI! This Song! This RIFF! 🎶 Was out BEFORE Vanilla Ice came and Ripped it Off!! Yes! He can Make all the Excuses he Wants! But it's Clear when it Comes to Music , he's a No Talent HACK!

"What's Up Guys, You're Watching JMBOYTV".... Yep, if you're not watching, you should be, at least twice a day.

Not a real Freddie fan but David is another story, still love listening to “Ziggy” from start to finish! If you haven’t heard that album it is a must!

Thx
