Here’s a neat video on the making of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
I remember covering this in music electronics class back in high school. We didn’t go into it in this much depth, but we went deep enough to understand that the thing is a freaking marvel. Not just because all of it was recorded in the 1970s on actual tape which is pretty insane to think about in an age where almost everything is digital and in some ways much easier, but also because the vision, musicianship and patience it would have taken to pull it all off is at a level you rarely encounter. It’s astounding, really. Even if for some reason you don’t like the song much (Does anyone not at least kinda like it?), you might come away with a new appreciation for it if you take the time to watch.
Oh, and here’s a thing I learned that some of you might call me stupid for not knowing. It isn’t Freddie Mercury hitting all of those really high notes in the opera part. Some of them are drummer Roger Taylor. I had always assumed that Freddie sang everything.
