In this video, I'll be sharing my thoughts and experience of listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. As a fan of the band, I've heard this song many times before, but every time I listen to it, I'm still blown away by its sheer brilliance and innovation.
During the video, I'll be discussing the song's historical and cultural significance, breaking down its structure and exploring its intricate harmonies, soaring vocals, and epic guitar riffs. I'll also be sharing my personal thoughts and feelings about the song, touching on themes of love, loss, and redemption that are woven throughout its lyrics.
Additionally, I'll be reacting to other Queen classics, such as "Another One Bites the Dust" and revisiting their legendary performance at Live Aid, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest live performances in rock history.
So join me as we delve into the world of Queen, exploring their incredible music and the impact they've had on the music industry as a whole. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering their music for the first time, this video is sure to be an exciting and insightful journey.

Your reaction was precious. My favorite Queen song is an older one _Killer Queen._ The song has a clever lyric and great music with accents peppered through it. The solo guitarist, Brian May, had been working on his doctorate in Astrophysics when he joined the band. After Freddy Mercury passed away the band went on hiatus. During that time he decided to finish his doctoral thesis, a difficult analysis of dust in interstellar space, and in 2007, at the age of 60, became Dr. Brian May. This year he was knighted by King Charles, and is now fully titled as Sir Doctor Brian Harold May. _I am not worthy!_ If you haven't already considered Guns n' Roses, then try _Welcome to the Jungle._ I still think a departure from classic rock might be in order for a change. You might enjoy Billy Joel's _Piano Man_ or Harry Chapin's _Taxi._

When Bohemian Rhapsody came out, I first heard it on a local radio station. I was totally blown away as nothing had ever sounded like that!

Very shortly after that and a visit to a record store, I bought A Night At The Opera.

This was of course a hit at the time it was released, but over the years its stature has grown and it is easily one of the most beloved songs of the rock era. The producer, Roy Thomas Baker, was known for using overdubs of both instruments and voice, and the vocal overdubs were particularly prominent on Bohemian Rhapsody, at times stretching the capabilities of the 24-track tape technology of the time. The technique involved recording multiple takes and then layering them on top of each other. This layering created the choir illusion on some parts of the vocals and the otherworldly sound of Brian May's guitar. Naturally all these takes required weeks to accomplish and then mix together. In all, the song required over 180 overdubs. The song was intended as a parody of bombastic opera music, but over the years it has become regarded as art in its own right. Being someone who appreciates guitar, I have to note Brian May's "Red Special" guitar. He and his father designed and built the guitar when Brian was a teenager. Since May could not afford a Gibson or Fender, he made his own guitar, using wood salvaged from a fireplace mantle and an old table. By the way, in addition to being a guitarist, Dr. May is also an astrophysicist.

This song, written by Mercury, stands out both in composition and arrangement. It's quite an achievement to create a rock song that's only 5 or so minutes long with about ten different sections that hangs together so well. For future rock tune vids, I'd lean to Irish bands, of which there are many good ones for a country that size. I'll recommend a song from before you were born, The Man Who Built America, by Horslips, which was heavily played by station WXRT radio in Chicago when it came out. Of course there are a few more widely known bands from Ireland. I won't name Them but no doubt many are familiar to U too.

Saw them 10th row first night and 11th row last night but Freddy had a little runway that went to the 10th row so we were front row and Freddy would lean out over us and drip his sweat on us. BEST CONCERT EVER!!! They never played anything this small in L.A. again. Sooo blessed! Saw Bowie in '73 and it was an incredible show but nothing like Queen. Check out their first four albums, like Zep, they are the greatest! Blessings

Bohemian Rhapsody was released in 1975 on Queen’s forth studio album A Night at the Opera. The song went all the way to #1 on the UK charts for its initial release but it reached #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1976 but thanks to a film called Wayne’s World in 1992, Bohemian Rhapsody hit the charts again and went all the way to #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for one week. The beginning section is just Freddie Mercury multi-tracking himself. The ballad section features an amazing guitar solo from Brian May which he could hear in his head during the recording of the backing track. With his Red Special that he actually built with his dad, he played the solo which sounds like an entirely different tune but it fits well with this song. For the many voices in the operatic section, it’s Freddie Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor multi-tracking themselves. The rock section is more harsh than the other sections because that’s what really makes it a rock and roll song. The ending section is when the audio dies down and we hear just the fade. For early live performances, the ballad section and ending section were featured as part of a medley with Killer Queen (from Sheer Heart Attack) and The March of the Black Queen (from Queen II). Starting with the tour for A Day at the Races in 1977, Bohemian Rhapsody became a full number and some things were changed in order to be performed live. Since the beginning section was just Freddie multi-tracked, that part ended up being cut from live performances and since you can’t overdub yourself on stage, the sound engineer for the tour turned on the original recording of the song for the operatic section. So the ballad, rock and ending sections were sung live and the operatic section wasn’t sung live and it continues to be sung that way even after Freddie Mercury passed away at the age of 45 in 1991. In 2009, The Muppets covered the song for their KZfaq channel and has received lots of views. The Freddie Mercury biopic with the same name features Rami Malek as Freddie with singing vocals by soundalike Marc Martel.

I'll never forgot the first time I heard this on the radio when it came out. I was driving my car to my sister's house and I had to pull off the road to listen, it was so stunned. When I got to my sister's I couldn't stop talking about it!

Back in the '70s in the San Francisco Bay area we will rock you and We Are the Champions always played back to back on the radio. They will always be one song to me. My favorite.
