I saw Queen live 4 times and had the great pleasure of meeting Freddie in person in 1977. He was shy and polite and extremely generous, with his time and also gave me some signed records and a patch that the tour crew had. He was a genius musical performer and also a gentleman who gets a lot of grief from people who didn`t get his lifestyle. The world lost such a lot when he passed and I`m not over it yet!

I’ve seen Freddie in concert once. Memorable doesn’t even cut it. What I’ve recently learned is Freddie’s death was caused by Dr Anthony Fauci. Look up HIV patent in the USA & Fauci’s injecting gay men in NYC against ‘Hep B’ but it was really HIV/Aids.

I saw them 3 times.. first one in Jan. 1978.. I was 17... and we got to meet the band briefly in a Holiday Inn lunch room.. Freddie was just as you described.. he signed autographs, and was basically very shy and sweet.. the rest of the band were also funny and Brian May even had the presence of mind to ask us when we asked for an autograph: "ought we to sign TWO?" -- and we were so dazzled, we had never even thought of that... lol.. YES, please?

Fun fact: this song was chosen in 2005 by one of the biggest global tv audiences to be the "greatest driving song of all time". For the record: the pause in the beginning isn't Freddie 'resting his voice', it's him leaving room for the live audience to sing along, which they did, but the old school microphone just didn't pick it up, hence it feels like a pause.

All four were talented and Freddie sang with such beauty and pranced with such charisma it was amazing 🤩 Freddie had 4 extra teeth, a massive jaw, 4 octave range, a faster than most singers vibrato, could use his false vocals to sing like Tuvan singers, double jointed fingers, a natural ear, excellent posture and oozed energy. It’s like he was created to be a rock star. All 4 members were so talented and professional!

When Freddie approached Brian and Roger when they were in Smile, he didn't change their lives, he changed the world. You bring up difficult songs, and mentioned "Bohemian Rhapsody" ... as so many people do. Brilliant as it is, and it is truly a masterpiece, it isn't even the best song on the album. If you really want to see some brilliant vocals by Freddie, listen to "The Prophet's Song" (from the other side of the record). It's Brian May's masterpiece, and features Freddie singing echoes with himself. Today it would be done with technology, but back then they had to string audio tape across the room passing through playback heads on separate tape decks. The fact they were even able to do this is beyond remarkable, but Freddie's vocal gymnastics are spectacular. They eventually were able to reproduce it on stage, using Echoplexs, to my understanding. Give us all a thrill and give it a review ... I'd like you see your take on it. Always great, just always, Bethany!! You are a ray of sunshine on gloomy days.

@billsager5634 10 ай бұрын

Agree with everything except Freddie approaching Brian & Roger when they were in Smile. Smile was Brian, Roger, and Tim Staffell on bass & lead vocals. Freddie was a friend/classmate of Tim's at the Ealing Art College in Lindon. All four shared a flat in London! Brian and Tim were friends from much earlier, meeting in 1964, and formed a band called 1984.Staffell left Smile to join Humpty Bong, and then later Morgan. While with Humpty Bong, Tim moved out, and just Brian, Roger, and Freddie shared the flat. At this same time, Brian was in gradate school at Imperial College of London, and a Math instructor at the school. Freddie and Roger owned a second hand clothing shop in Kensington Square. Ruger was studying to be a dentist. Freddie sang in other bands: Ibex/Wreckage, (1969) which was a Liverpool based band, thus briefly Freddie move to Liverpool. Freddie returned to London joined Oxford based Sour Milk Sea in later that year, but the band broke up in early 1970. As Freddie was again living with Brian and Roger, he tried to persuade them to return to music. Freddie finally convinced them to restart "Smile". The band changed bass players several times before John Deacon joined in 1971. At that time, they renamed this new band Queen - and honed their craft while still in school/working their other jobs. Queen signed on with Trident Studios in 1971, but their debut album wasn't released until 1973. In the mean time, Trident hired Freddie as a solo artist, using the stage name "Larry Lurex", producing very heavily Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" singles. Check out "I can Hear Music" (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jeBxZ7KqxtK4pX0.htmlsi=uR2wzqSrOxsS3QQE) or "Going Back" (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb2Un9WClqvQYZ8.htmlsi=fZhLLaNx6UhJjtG-) Guess who were session musicians on these tracks? Brian & Roger!! One final bit of trivia - Tim Staffell when on to become the Chief Model Maker for the children's show "Thomas the Tank Engine".

You mention Freddy's jaw position a few times - he actually had four extra incisors, which it why his front teeth protruded so much and undoubtedly affected the whole way he held his mouth. He was self conscious about it, but didn't want to fix it, in case it affected the way he sang.

Their first self-titled album was released August 1968, featuring one of the best vocals is, "I Put A Spell On You". I'm a huge fan of both Queen and CCR. Thanks Bethany ✌

@@stephenfrasure9351 You are correct. I did not notice that this was from the Hammersmith Odeon concert. It is so similar to the way Freddie performed the song in Paris earlier that year that I thought it was from that concert. Too many years have passed which makes it easier to not clearly remember everything. The Paris dates were at the end of February and the 1st of March 1979. I was at the February 27th concert that was one of the dates that was being recorded for "Live Killers". The video looked a little bit darker than I remembered but I figured that was because of the age of the video. Freddie sang the song the same as far as I remember which is not always the case from Queen tour to Queen tour.

Thanks for another fab analysis. Would love to see more of your analysis of Freddie Mercury. You might also consider taking a bash at Marc Martel's version of Bohemian Rhapsody - could be a fun analysis!

I discovered you a few days ago and love your videos, very interesting and you do a great job! One artist i am missing on your channel is Peter Steel from Type o negative! He has a very unique voice, would love to hear a vocal analysis about him!

Great analysis! The hard rock Queen songs are the most difficult to sing, that is why you rarely see covers of those songs, this is songs such as Princes Of The Universe. The heavier voiced, more dramatic tenors do actually tend to have faster vibratos naturally, in opera at least. You mentioned some good examples, especially the balanced sound, and the jaw that is needed for open throat singing.

I am fortunate to have seen Queen 2 times when Freddie was still alive (I have seen them with Adam Lambert as well), they were amazing live!

The isolated vocals from the studio version are a great way to show how gifted he was. The control of his voice on such an aggressive and energetic song is outstanding. The way he controls his breathing and articulates... Wow. I'd probably have liked you to choose a better live performance, as like you said, the video isn't the best... but I understand WHY you chose such a challenging song. The fact he sang this near the middle of the set, after songs like Somebody To Love, is amazing. That being said... when his voice was tired or the throat was sore... he has murdered it 🫣 lol
