If you step into the rabbit hole...it's a journey you will not regret...live performances are great

How has someone got through life never hearing of Queen? They are arguably the best group in history!

The opera part of Bohemian Rhapsody always, without fail, shocked new listeners out of their shoes 🔥🔥🔥

Freddie Mercury was nothing if not flamboyant and fabulous. His vocal range was incredible. It's just amazing that he's been gone for 30 years. It doesn't feel like it. We lost a rare gem with his passing.

I'm glad you tried the original version. It will increase your audience. Yes, you should explore Queen.

I absolutely can’t get enough of first reactions to this song! Watching people go from pure confusion into loving it is just great! 🤣 I grew up on Queen…there SO MUCH MORE from them that’s ICONIC!!! 👑💗

OMG WILLY WONKA! I damn near choked on my coffee. You're a riot. Queen is my error of music. So many hits. Somebody To Love, The Show Must Go On, We Are The Champions, Another One Bite's The Dust, We Will Rock You and many more. Loving the channel so far😎

Every single song Queen ever made is a masterpiece. Listen to EVERYTHING! You won't regret it for a second. Quite simply the greatest band EVER!

Queen is: Freddie Mercury-piano/vocals, Brian May-guitar/vocals, Roger Taylor-drums/vocals and John Deacon-bass/some back vocals...they formed in the 1970's, they are a British band and you've heard their music in movies, t.v.shows, sports, games and commercials...WE WILL ROCK YOU and WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS are just two of their songs...this video was the first of their kind, no auto tune in the days of Queen....all four members wrote songs, so there is a versatility with their music...check out SOMEBODY TO LOVE, live at Montreal....

Queen's record sales range from 170 million to 300 million records, making them the world's best-selling music artists.

Don’t stray too far from Queen! They have so many great songs. They have to be the best rock band ever!!

You are viewing history. This song is masterpiece like none other. No comparison to it...nowhere. I never grow tired of it. Thanks much. Love you Freddie ❤❤❤🎵🎵

Side note: If no one has told you yet the lead guitarist, Brian May, is also an actual astrophysicist. He has worked on space programs in the UK. Also, his first guitar was one he and his father built together in their garage.

The guitar Brian Mays is playing is called the Red Special. Brian and his Dad made it in the early 60's when he was a teen. The neck is made from wood from an old fireplace mantel.

FYI… this was the very first music video! Queen was so far ahead of everyone else ❤️ They were also all college students. Brian May, the lead guitarist is a Dr. of Astronomy. Roger Taylor, the drummer, was a Dental student, John ‘Deaky’ Deacon was in Electronics, and Freddie Mercury was in Art & Design.

I got into the Queen rabbit hole back in 1996, and never went back. Thanks dad for showing me their music when I was 10

Your original fan checking in, my guy! So glad you heard this with headphones 🎧! Anything else would have been uncivilized! 💥☄️🔥🔥

This style of dressing is '70's rock glam. Freddy does it well!

I'm an old lady who grew up in the '60s, and I love, love your reactions! It makes my heart smile. Keep doing what you're doing. You are amazing!!!

Great reaction! Yeah, I too am of the Queen era, they were so special! Another One Bites the Dust, We are the Champions for sure!

I had the privilege of being a teenager in the 80's and had the opportunity to see them live one time. One of the greatest bands of all time. I introduced my now 21 year old son to queen when he was 10. He wanted to see them live, I had to tell him Freddy Mercury died 10 years before he was born, he was crushed :)

"I want to be free" "We are the Champions" Queen is iconic!! "Another One Bites the Dust" you'll NEEVAH regret listening to any of their songs...😊❤

I have gone down a rabbit hole today listening to dozens of your reactions . I am always so pleased when people let go of their preconceived notions of a particular genre of music. Thanks for opening your mind to different music. Thank you for sharing your reactions . If you haven’t had a chance to see Susan Boyles Audition on Englands Got Talent… you may enjoy. Another example of people making assumptions wrongly before listening . Have a wonderful day 😊

This was a Rock Opera, fantastic and so creative.

Love watching people discover the genius of Queen. Miss you darling Freddie! RIP! Best music ever live. Btw Freddie studied art and design. He created the white silk costumes here and also the Queen badge cover on their first albums.

Total masterpiece, will go down in history. Your reaction, love ❤️ it 🤩 you’re simply the best 👍

That really high note at 6:07 came from the drummer Roger Taylor who could sing better than a lot of lead singers. 😃 Welcome to the Queen's world! They created beautiful harmonies in the studios, but their live performances were on another level and Freddie Mercury with his unforgettable stage presence and crowd control put the crown on them. Please, check out Somebody To Love.

Just about every single that Queen released was a hit.

I got to excited to watch this. I rushed home and started looking for it..only to realize it's posting tomorrow. 🤦‍♀️

If there's ever a doubt, just know Queen did it first. Have a great day.

Queen was "the band" at the first Rock in Rio in 1985. Did the "show" at the Live Aid even with all other bands and singers, but they were the one who, until now, is remembered at the Live Aid. Straight to the point - Queen is the best band so far and it is a pity that Freddie had passed away, but remains the beautiful songs to keep them alive in our minds and heart !

YES. The experience! Glad you enjoyed it! Bring more, thank you!

Thanks for checking them our bro, yeah Queen is 1 of the best old school rock groups, Freddie Mercury (Lead Singer) I believe had a 5 octave range, which is VERY impressive, Sadly he is no longer with us, but just a phenomenal Singer/Performer! … i’m sure you have heard the song “We Will We Will, Rock You! … it gets played at sporting events a TON, that is Queen as well! … check out a few of their songs if you get the chance! … Great/Funny review as always! … Cheers!

I know you have heard we will rock you at a sports event. That’s queen

One of the greatest bands ever ❤

"Somebody To Love" (live Montréal 1981). It's a beyond amazing. Queen is just too good to describe.

The guitarist in the striped jacket is an ASTRO physicist or something like that. Other songs you might know by Queen is We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions. The lead singer is Freddie Mercury.

Freddie is one of the most iconic vocalists and musicians of all time.

"Just let me know any information I need to know about Queen" LoL 😆

You do realise this was nearly fifty years ago. Best group on the 🌏.

I'd be willing to bet you know some Queen songs but you dont know they're Queen who sang them. That's very common. My suggestion is to do Somebody to Love, Live from Montreal. It's considered one of the best live performances ever.

SO GLAD you reacted to Queen's original video of "Bohemian Rhapsody". It is SO iconic! They have a lot of songs you would probably enjoy. Two of my personal favorite Queen songs are "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You". And yes I am one of those "mature" Queen fans that rocked out to their music back in the day, and I thoroughly enjoy your reaction videos! I love to see younger people discovering the great music that I was fortunate enough to grow up listening to. I look forward to seeing many more of your reaction videos!

This is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Welcome to the genius of Freddie Mercury. Still one of my favorites, just as it was when I was in high school

Adding to my comment below: I have watched every reaction vid for Live Aid I have encountered. Some of the them I have watched multiple times just to see the reactors’ jaws drop and their eyebrows rise. And that’s only Live Aid.

You need to do these..... Fat Bottom Girls Another One Bites the Dust Somebody To Love Then.....for the Master Class of working the crowd, Live Aid concert Freddie was one of a kind.....He could go to the bar and steal any woman (or man) lol .... love is love my guy

It's always amazing to watch someone experience Queen for the first time. Especially Bohemian Rhapsody. It's almost always life-changing.

Yes! Thank you for reacting to this so quickly. Obviously the performance speaks for itself. This band paved the way for experimentation in rock music and videos. The list is endless of the very best of the best guitar players who was determined to take a shot at playing the legendary guitar pieces from Bohemian Rhapsody. It's more than their name that suggests royalty. Every generation from the 70's on has discovered Queen and been awed by what they see and hear. Their us a whole string of KZfaq videos of choirs, workshops, people at conventions, large business weekends, you name it and they gather together to sing this iconic song. There are videos of giant crowds in stadiums singing this while waiting for a concert or sports event to begin. One of my hands down favorite videos is Somebody to Love live at Montreal 1981. Freddie's vocal runs are insane and it always brightens my day to watch it. Like Pentaholics, Queen fans are DEVOTED, enthusiastic and will eagerly share unlimited bits of history and trivia to help you understand what made the band so special. For me- I love Queen, I love PTX so it's a win, win situation. You react to either of them and I will be here ♥️

Oh boy have the older generation of us got some music to introduce you to if you don't know who Queen is. You may not know it but you've heard at least 2 of their songs at some point in your life.

So glad to see you experiencing Queen. In my opinion , to get like a little mini concert of them just to know some of their music and to see one of , if not the best show they ever performed , watch Queen's performance at Live Aid in 1985 , it showcases their talent, their music and how Freddie could just captivate an audience ...you will see why so many fell in love with the talent of Queen and lasts still today ...... wonderful reaction , loved it and looking forward to more !!

You've now been Freddie'd. You're in for a great experience. Queen were phenomenal, both in the studio and live in huge venues with a hundred thousand fans. I saw them live three times. I remember every minute of every performance.

Welcome to the world of Queen. This was the lead singer’s, Freddie Mercury, baby. He decided to mix rock and opera to change things up. Keep watching Queen. You’ve definitely heard them!

I am thrilled you reacted to Queen! You've got to do more Queen!! I recommend watching Somebody to Love, Live from Montreal first to get a taste of Queen live then watch the ENTIRE Live Aid performance. Love your channel!!

If you have gone to a school game of any kind, you've heard Queen music or lyrics at least. We Are the Champions, and We Will Rock You, are Queen that have made their way into everyone's lives. Best rock band ever.

This song by queen was voted the best song of the previous century worldwide. I spent my last year in school listening to them. Over and over and over again. This is truly the best song ever. You cannot ever get tired of it.

One of my favorite things in this world is seeing people experience Freddie Mercury and/or Queen for the first time. I feel extremely blessed and spoiled to have been able to grow up listening to this group in the 70s and 80s, while Freddie was still with us. The best Queen is live Queen, especially their Live Aid performance. And that was Freddie on a BAD day, since he had health issues with his throat going on at the time. And here, 30 years beyond losing Freddie, he's still wowing people. I agree with one of the previous commenters here... if you go down the Queen/Freddie Mercury rabbit hole, you definitely will not regret it. I highly recommend it, seeing as you enjoyed this masterpiece so much.

Freddie Mercury was everything & more.

I followed you because of this reaction. I love watching people watch Queen for the first time. You definitely appreciated them. I'm going to share this with everyone. Excellent reaction.

Yes.. explore any and all queen music... Freddie does not disappoint! I'm shocked at anyone who hasn't heard of them!

I had the pleasure of attending 4 Queen concerts. They are the greatest of all time. Each band member wrote several number 1 hits for the band.

Congratulations! Your journey is just beginning. They have tons of great music.

This is an epic song. I think you'll love Sombody to Love even more. Freddie's vocals are tremendous and pure 🔥

They were the FIRST to do this sort of video,Long live QUEEN

Yessss 🙌🏻 Really enjoyed this reaction, priceless. Please start the Queen journey. They were a great band, with a massive catalogue. Please check out some more, and their Live performances were amazing. May I suggest Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow or One Vision live at Wembley. You can see the difference between longhaired Freddie and Freddie with the moustache. Very different styles!

We r the champions is played @ every sports til this day....

Queen: We Are the Champions

This video was before MTV introduced music videos. The group was British and the name was very provocative as during their reign, people were just beginning to come out. There was a lot of controversy over whether their lead singer. Freddie Mercury was gay. The absolute musts after Bohemian Rhapsody: We Are the Champions, Under Pressure, Someone to Love, Another One Bites the Dust, and Radio Ga Ga. Bohemian Rhapsody is considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The record label didn’t want to release it because it was just shy of 6 minutes long. No radio station would ever play a song that long. Great music company prediction just like when Sony dropped PTX a week after winning The Sing-Off. The most iconic example of Queen is their 20 minute performance during Live Aide in 1985. It contains excerpts of many of their songs and demonstrates Freddie’s claim to being one of if not THE greatest showmen of all time. Freddie owned every audience when he preformed. He died of AIDS in 1991 at the age of 45. In the 80s an HIV diagnosis meant to start getting things in order because you had months to hopefully a few years to live. It was a death sentence. I’m glad you’re beginning your exploration of Queen because not knowing about them is like not knowing the Beatles or Michael Jackson. PTX received a big clap on the back when Brian May, guitarist for Queen, tagged the PTX version in his Twitter account. There could be no higher honor.

This group and this song, in particular, have been scrutinized, dissected, torn apart, and put back together again so many times, it is amazing the song has lasted this long. It was far too long of a piece for radio, not "rocky" enough for the "hippies" at that time, and contained far too many genres within a sing piece to be popular. Then along came the movie Wayne's World and everything changed. The popularity of this one song and of course, the group, took off to extreme proportions that no one could ever have imagined. I like your review because you enjoy the real part of the music that makes it what it is and that is how the sounds move around inside your head, back and forth, side to side, up and down. Thanks for being honest about this one.

Welcome to Queen. They're great.

Now you know ! Queen is a unique, legendary group whose live shows are a performance experience 😅🔥 Love your sensitivity to sound and genuine reactions 💕 if you haven't yet, you're probably ready for Phil Collins, "In The Air Tonight" 😉

A MUST, QUEEN LIVE AID. I KNOW FOR A FACT, YOU KNOW AT LEAST 2 SONGS ON IT. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS WE WILL ROCK YOU. OJ BRO🔥💯

Freddie gets up from the piano " lead singer is cold! " yes! The great Freddie Mercury ! I guess I just figured there was no one on this planet that didn't know Queen, and Freddie ! How can you live and never heard this song

If you enjoyed that, you should DEFINITELY watch the footage from Queen’s performance in the live aid concert from 1985!! They performed SO MANY of their iconic songs, and they also interacted with the crowd so well, there was a note they sang that’s famous- it’s called ‘ The Note Heard Round the World!’ If you want to go all out, you could check out the movie ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for some backstory

Glad you watched this. Now you see what a miraculous job Pentatonix did recreating this with no instruments. Queen is an English group and they have soooo many hits. Try We Will Rock You, it's a banger full of OJ.

Queen is my favorite band and my first ever concert experience when I was about 15. Because of some bad blood with the MTV folks, they stopped touring America. I caught them on their last tour of the US. There are so many hit songs. The Queen river runs deep. Please watch the Live Aid performance. It’s about 23 minutes long and worth every second.

I'm so glad to see you have headphones for this one!

“If Willy Wonka was a band” 🤣🤣🤣 AB you crack me up! I said earlier I’d go see Batman just to watch you watch it. Heck I’d even pay for your ticket AND buy your popcorn if you wore one of those jumpsuits to the theater!! 😂

Headphones really paying off. 💜 Also, I love when you hear something that sounds special/new to you and you immediately mimicking the sound. I do that too... it's just the way my brain works and it comes out of my mouth before I even realize it.

"Rhapsody" is an ancient word that means "songs stitched together". In music, a rhapsody is a free-form piece that takes different tunes and strings them together. However Freddie Mercury when he wrote Bohemian Rhapsody envisioned it like an opera. His Rhapsody has basically 3 parts: the crime, the judgement and the escape.

Your facial reactions were priceless. Yes, keep going. ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, DON'T STOP ME NOW, and especially SOMEBODY TO LOVE live in Montreal '81

Loved the reaction! To answer your question about who hit the high note at the end of the operatic section it was the drummer Roger Taylor! He has a great falsetto. Freddie Mercury the lead singer is magic! He can sing anything! Well worth exploring their catalog and some of their live performances. Live Aid performance is a must!

If you're interested in the story of the band/Freddy Mercury the main singer. Then you should watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, no it's not a perfect story but it's pretty good for what it is.

Queen has always been my favorite.

Bohemian rhapsody is one to watch. It tells their history and inside information. I’ve watched it more than any once

Oh yes you are about to go on an amazing discovery of the hits that are Queen. Without doubt one of the greatest musical exports of the UK. Freddie was a legend. There is a video taken before the start of a Green Dat concert and This song comes on while the group prpare to come on stage. The audience is maybe 100,000 people and everyone knows every single word to this song. Every single note. Its amazing to watch.

It's just Queen - from England & the lead singer was Freddy Mercury. You can try "Another One Bites The Dust". You might like that song. It amazes me how great of a job Pentatonix did performing this song with absolutely no instruments, as do all the acapella groups like Home Free and Voice Play. Thanks so much for doing this reaction. It's greatly appreciated just as you are my friend. Keep up the great work.

Still can't believe people haven't heard this iconic band and song.

This will be the start of a mind and music blowing experience! The posters here have given you great information and advice. My advice to you as you expand your world... 1} For a lot of Queen music you should listen to the studio version and any live performance next. That is a chance to experience the difference that is Queen live and improving on what you find so mind blowing to begin with. 2} They are multi-talented and the songs that Brian and Roger sing are gems in their own way, because of the out of this world vocals of Freddie you will find that either one of them could have been a lead vocalist on their own. 3} Lace them up, because it's going to be a hell of a ride!

I cant believe you havent heard of Queen. Ever been to a football or basketball game.and heard We are the Champions or We will Rock you? Freddie Mercury is a Legend ! There is a a movie about his life and I think its on you tube.. They didn't have CGI back then either lol. Love watching your face.great reaction.

One of the greatest (if not THE greatest) rock songs of all time. An absolutely iconic classic from an era when music was gooood!

Queen is awesome. Freddie Mercury is a legend. There will never be another like him anywhere.

There is a big Queen army and im part of it so many videos to watch live on stage so many great songs please more Queen you wont be sorry

Queen is one of the most beloved rock bands of the 70's & 80's! "The Show Must Go On", "Radio Ga-Ga", "Somebody to Love", "Fat Bottom Girls" to name only a few of their iconic songs! I look forward to your reactions to more Queen offerings!

Dude: You do Queen and your subs will go up. There are a lot of very enthusiastic Queen fans.

The most fantastic front man in the history of rock. Freddie's voice was unique.

Welcome to the Queen pool...dive in!!! Best band ever!!!

The opening A Capella section is all Freddie harmonizing with himself. Queen is brilliant, and you must listen to more of their songs. Don’t just do the more common mainstream ones. Listen to some of their lesser known songs, too. Soooo good! All four members are college grads and are in the Rock and Roll and Songwriters’ Halls of Fame. They also each wrote at least one number one song.

Queen is...incredible. a personal fave that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is Who Wants To Live Forever.

Great Reaction! Welcome to the world of Queen 😀👍❤️✌️🌼

In the early/mid 70's when this came out, one of the programs that showed bands performing asked Queen to appear. Queen declined, but said they'd send them a film instead. This is what they sent.
