Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Reaction Mashup

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song is a six-minute suite, notable for its lack of a refraining chorus and consisting of several sections: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda.

The video opens with a shot of the four band members standing in diamond formation with their heads tilted back in near darkness as they sing the a cappella part. The lights fade up, and the shots cross-fade into close-ups of Mercury. The composition of the shot is the same as Mick Rock's cover photograph for their second album Queen II. The photo, inspired by a photograph of actress Marlene Dietrich, was the band's favourite image of themselves. The video then fades into them playing their instruments. In the opera section of the video, the scene reverts to the Queen II standing positions, after which they perform once again on stage during the hard rock segment. In the closing seconds of the video Roger Taylor is depicted stripped to the waist, striking the tam tam in the manner of the trademark of the Rank Organisation's Gongman, familiar in the UK as the opening of all Rank film productions.

All of the special effects were achieved during the recording, rather than editing. The visual effect of Mercury's face cascading away (during the echoed lines "Magnifico" and "Let me go") was accomplished by pointing the camera at a monitor, giving visual feedback, a glare analogous to audio feedback. The honeycomb illusion was created using a shaped lens. The video was edited within five hours because it was due to be broadcast the same week in which it was taped. The video was sent to the BBC as soon as it was completed and aired for the first time on Top of the Pops in November 1975.

You can be cool but you'll never be Freddie Mercury cool, accept it and get on with life.

[Meracog]

I honestly believe this is one of the greatest songs ever made.

[crypticwritingonthewall]

Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece, one of the best songs EVER created. It's such an amazing song, I don't see why anyone would hate it? Clearly people don't know real music if they could hate such an AMAZING song!

The face that everyone puts on when they start to listen to the middle of the end seems like it is the first time they listen to Bohemian rapsody hahaha

[paulcasey]

i remember watching totp in 1975 and just sat there breathless as i, d never heard anything like it and still haven, t pure brilliance from queen.

[the_Real_Grammy_of_]

I heard someone say “It’s pretty trippy”. That’s a great description. Freddie was SO far ahead of his time!!!

[headrushindi]

seriously doubt the stars will ever align again in such a way to bring together the worlds greatest rock-pop vocalist and performer/ with three of the most talented, unique, and perfectly compatible, musicians of all time like Brian, Rodger, and John.
Seriously doubt this level of charisma, musical excellence, and true Genius will ever again form a single band.
RIP Freddie ... and Bless you Brian, Rodger and John. There were Great singers, Stellar bands, and legendary performers....and then there was QUEEN !!!

I like how when the lyrics say "look up to the sky and see" some people actually look above and smile

[marciebulsaraorcutt]

I FREAKING LOVE THESE MULTI-PEOPLE FREDDIE/QUEEN REACTIONS!💕

Lo del final en español:

Cuando se le preguntó el significado de la canción. Freddie Mercury dijo: "Esta canción significa lo que tú quieres que signifique"

Para grabar "Bohemian Rhapsody", Freddie Mercury usó el mismo piano que Paul McCartney usó en la canción "Hey Jude".

Rewatching ‘cause why not?
The fact there’s so many children, teenagers, and even adults or elders that have lived through Queen’s era that have never heard of them or this song. This song is most likely the greatest of all time because of Freddie’s incredible voice, the mixed genre of music in the tune, and the fact it was one of the longest and top of the list songs for years on end

[ashiqurrohman]

Magnum Opus !

Freddie was a God who came to us to show what music was !

[maureenmccarthy]

I was 11 years old when this song was first released it’s Amazing then and still is I was so lucky I got to see Queen live in 1986 in slane castle Ireland 🇮🇪 Freddie Mercury was a one off his vocal range was astonishing and Queen as a band were unbelievable I was devastated when he died back on the 27th of November 1991 was such a lucky person to have been born back in the good old days the music around then was incredible rest in peace Freddie you are missed ❤️ from Ireland 🇮🇪 loved all your reactions

La mejor canción de #QUEEN

The best song of #QUEEN

[Rudxain]

The blue jacket guy looks like he's always on the verge of crying, the afro guy is like "damn this guy's music is fire and crazy!", the girl in the center jamming and headbanging with her hands on her headphones, and the rest are either neutral or surprised.

An expected "detail" is that most of them got shocked when Freddie started singing about murder, because it was so sudden and unexpected and he was singing about it like it's a regular wednesday
