  • imagine if freddie had remembered to use protection..

  • Imagine (as War is over) is one of the most abused Lennon songs: when you listen to it in adverts, or in TV for christmas busyness it's a rape because lyrics tell you the opposite.

    And the other hand, this song has been performed 1 day after Lennon assassination and that makes me think...

    It's easy to say Lennon is a symbol, he's the Artist of 60's (like Barret)

    So, I think that Mercury (Artist of 70's) is one of the few artists who deserves to sing 'Imagine' out loud.

    Freddie - the Queen

  • Wow, siento como si los dos genios mas grandes de la historia se unieran en uno solo...

  • @Prestonpiemincher what have you got against the Beatles, I like Queen, John Lennon and The Beatles

  • @JonnyYang123 One simple can ~ fuck the beatles PILE OF CRAP

  • te amo freddy mercury porq te moriste cabron¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • "What is he singing"

    WHAT DID SHE JUST ASK?!!!

  • loves Queen hates beatles , this aint a beatles tune its JOHN LENNON tune so beatles fans FUCK OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Prestonpiemincher one could not simply hate the beatles

  • @Prestonpiemincher i like queen and the beatles

  • @totaldrambeatles22

    Look at my nickname :D

  • @Prestonpiemincher Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr solo projects are being loved especially by Beatles fans, so you fuck off

  • the song is all about peace and love and theres people arguing about which band is better, which singer is better. gosh

  • "Song write by John Lennon but sing Queen"

    Best video description ever.

  • The internet breeds a special kind of stupid, where people argue over which great band was greater, instead of just enjoying the music. Do you really have something to add? Are you as talented as Freddie or John? If so, I'd love to hear your music. Honestly. Send me a link.

  • LOL at all people arguing in the comment section of a song about WORLD PEACE... John Lennon and Freddie Mercury must be turning in their graves.

  • ni en mil años se puede comparar los jhon con freddy son lo mejor en distintas perspectivas

  • It's a kind of magic. <3

  • Recorded on 9th December 1980 in Wembley. 1 Day after John Lennon's Assasination. Queen's Tribute to him. 

  • Queen's the best fucking Rock band of the whole bloody history. No matter what people say. R.I.P Freddy

  • @vikratos How can you say that and misspell Freddie's name?

  • @TokioJade I didn't mispell Freddie's name you fucking retard. I said that Queen was the best Rock band ever. Your stupid or what?

  • @vikratos Look at your post before you go calling someone ELSE a retard. You DID misspell Freddie's name at the end... "R.I.P. Freddy" ... open your eyes

  • @FreddyKurganNimmo Oh, now to say Rest In Peace is to misspell someone's name. Allright

  • @tutomeister Do you know how to read? His name is spelled freddIE, vikratos misspelled it as freddY. Can you see the difference between IE & Y?. One ends in 2 letters, the other ends in only 1 letter different from the other 2. Then he went and insulted someone, accusing them of being what, I feel pretty safe in assuming, he actually is. People who can't read shouldn't be allowed internet access!

  • Why fight? why not love Queen and the Beatles both?

  • Compare what Queen did in the seventies or eighties with what Paul,John lennon or George harrison did in the seventies and eighties.Whose music is much more advanced and complex?

  • @bilbaobizkaia All Things Must Pass is better than any Queen album, Imagine is better than any Queen album except Queen II, Plastic Ono band is as well but apparently "better" means "more advanced and complex" whereas Plastic Ono Band is raw, stripped and emotional rather than bombastic and camp. Sheer style is great (Queen II is one of my favourite albums), but it isn't everything.

  • @tomwantshelp I respect your opinion but i don´t agree.Queen 2 is an extraordinary album, but not the best of Queen.A night at the opera is better, innuendo is better.I think Queen´s music is more complex and advanced.Sorry, is my opinion.

  • @bilbaobizkaia Innuendo is better but it isn't a 70s or 80s album which was the comment I responded to. A Night At The Opera has too many weak songs.

    "Complex" might be true (though listen to songs like While My Guitar... and Tomorrow Never Knows), but complex doesn't mean better. None of Queen could write songs as well as John, Paul or George.

  • @tomwantshelp I have listened almost all beatles song, i like some of them but to say that none of Queen could write songs as John, Paul or George is not true.They are very different kinds of music and appart from that, I could say also Beatles couldn´t have done many songs Queen has done.

  • @tomwantshelp while my guitar is a good song but not complex, tomorrow never knows is the same kind of sound all the time

  • @bilbaobizkaia WMGGW is very complex, so many instruments layered over each other. Tomorrow Never Knows has loads of tape loops and backwards sections. Another "complex" song is Happiness Is A Warm Gun which inspired Bohemian Rhapsody.

    Relatively speaking (in the scope of music or even rock), they were very similar bands. Fact is, the Beatles outsold Queen and are more critically acclaimed. Rare to see May or Mercury above Lennon or McCartney in "best songwriter" lists.

  • @tomwantshelp The music of beatles and Queen have nothing in common.Absolutely different music.Bohemian rhapsody wasn.t inspired in any Beatles song.Was the own inspiration of Freddie Mercury.Take a look at the making of Bohemian Rhapsody and you will see what i mean when i speak about "complexity".It is the most complex song of all time for playing and for recording.The lists are all subjective.

  • @bilbaobizkaia Brian and Roger repeatedly talk about how much the Beatles influenced them, they wrote a song dedicated to Lennon, they play the same basic instruments, there is LOADS in common- listen to Because, that's where their 3 part harmonies came from! Bohemian Rhapsody was largely Freddie's composition when he was nearly asleep but the repeated changes came from Happiness Is A Warm Gun, I think there's a video of Freddie or Brian saying so.

  • @tomwantshelp There are also other musicians and songwriters that think Queen is the best group of all time.Example: Matt Bellamy from Muse and Joe Elliot from Def Leppard, Guns and roses, Extreme, Metallica....all is subjective.

  • @bilbaobizkaia Calling Bohemian Rhapsody THE most complex song is a bit premature... listen to Paranoid Android, Tunnels, Meglomania, Revolution #9, Days Of Future Past, Tomorrow Never Knows, Said The People, even The Prophet's Song... it is up there though.

    Good to have such a civil conversation. Queen are my second or third favourite band btw, so I have nothing against them, it's just that the Beatles are something else.

  • @tomwantshelp Nice to meet you here and have such a good conversation like this.I like Beatles, nothing against them, but for me Queen is something strathospheric, is for me the same thing for you are the Beatles.

  • Only Freddie Mercury can take an already good song and make it better. No disrespect to the John Lennon fans but, it's more than likely going to be the opinion of Queen fans that they do it better.

  • Oh wow well Queen were influenced by the Beatles, and Freddie would think you're all dumbasses for fighting about it.

  • @miss9starr7 Yeah well, Fuck Freddie.

  • @Ecclipze soz mate but Queen were better

  • @Ecclispe nope there is nothing speical about the beatles in songs or albums , biggest selling album of all time THRILLER by MICHAEL JACKSON, GREATEST HITS 2 by QUEEN in UK, they are named rollin stone best band christ knows why with songs like piggies, yellow submarine, I want to hold your hand, eight days a week.

  • @Prestonpiemincher I agree with you, for me the best group ever is Queen,in terms of vocals, performances, music quality and creativity, versatility and diversity.In overall quality Queen wins.At least, no one can deny that Queen is one of the best groups, but as i have said before, for me the best.Congratulations, good arguments!!!

  • @Prestonpiemincher Could you tell me please the sales of Queen and the beatles in other countries outside Europe? thank you very much

  • @Prestonpiemincher Greatest Hits albums don't count. Sgt Pepper is the best selling UK album, but it is only the Beatles' fifth best album. Queen wrote songs like I'm In Love With My Car, Let Me Entertain You, Don't Try Suicide... the Beatles had special songs like Across The Universe, Strawverry Fields, Blackbird, Queen had special songs like The Prophet's Song, both had great albums (the Beatles moreso).

  • wow i never heard this before and im a big queen fan

    thanks for uploading

  • i have read that queen has sold world wide about 300 million records.. but is that only those counrys that u calculate?

  • @toosexyformydaks ertified sales of albums, singles and videos . UK- Queen - 17.8 million UK- Beatles - 5.5million Germany- Queen 11.1 million Germany- Beatles 7.2 million France- Queen 4.2 million France- Beatles 3 million As I said, without North America, Beatles would have sold less than Queen. Total Beatles = 237.6 million Total Queen = 85.8 million Without America Beatles = 35 million Without America Queen = 44.5 million

  • @Holms yeah and Freddy was a better performer than john bin lennon

  • @Ecclipze i couldnt give a shite Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da has to be the worst beatles song ever

  • @Prestonpiemincher If it was a beatles song...which it wasn't.

  • @toosexyformydaks Freddie Mercury beats all of the Beatles in vocals and beats John Lennon on piano.

    Brian May beats George Harrison on vocals and guitar.

    John Deacon beats Paul McCartney on the bass.

    Roger Taylor beats Ringo Starr on vocals and drums.

    John Lennon beats Freddie Mercury on guitar.

    Paul McCartney beats John Deacon on bass.

    Queen kills beatles crap

  • @Prestonpiemincher Uhm, so which IS it on Bass? Does McCartney beat Deacon, or does Deacon beat McCartney?

  • @Prestonpiemincher "I am the walrus, coo coo ka choo", or whatever the hell it's called, isn't exactly a lyrical masterpiece either... ;)

  • @toosexyformydaks I'm here all week hear yourselve pleb you got no knowledge only knowledge you got is mouldy beatles records DICKHEAD

  • beatles simply are from other world you can't compare them. I love Queen though.

  • A Fallconny Tour gosta muito desta musica

  • All of you saying the Queen's are better than the beatles. You are very, very wrong. Beatles started it all. Queen is also amazing. But beatles will stay at no.1 forever.

  • Freddy was fan of Lennon in case you don't know =)

  • lennon is the master; but freddie is the better vocalist and performer. In fact I would say one of the best pop/rock vocalist of all; guys like Pavaroti not included.

  • Freddiee still rockd it here

  • Comment removed

  • Finnally a great version

  • Go, Freddie.

  • freddie sings other peoples songs better than they do lol. just the greatest all round performer with the vocals of the gods.

  • @gremlynne I actually read somewhere once that a number of performers didn't want him performing there songs for that reason. Take a look at The Freddie Mercury tribute concert and all the great performers singing his songs and they sound like amateurs.

  • @gremlynne so true

  • @toosexyformybrianepsteinck ‘The White Album’, for example, is four good songs plus an hour of tiresome half-written rubbish, like ‘Why Don’t We Do It In The Road’. Is this really the work of the best band in the world ever? Nope…it’s just rubbish from a bunch of self-indulgent millionaires. isnt it too sexy for my gay dead managers cock

  • @Prestonpiemincher Your homophobic piffle is shameful , Queen fans everywhere are appalled at your anti gay , anti Queen/ Freddie drivel , just how many times did your mother drop you on your head? You must be very lonely.

  • Comment removed

  • @Prestonpiemincher And your opinions are facts? I think not, so stop talking like you know everything, which you don't.

  • @Prestonpiemincher Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da isn't originally their song.

  • Comment removed

  • well said SirFlodaReltih Still Freddie is just the fucking best ! John bin linnen was awful just like toosexyformydaks on this you tube.

  • @toosexyformydaks Let’s face it. Lennon and McCartney were good with a melody, but certainly weren’t the musical geniuses everyone thinks.

    A large percentage of the arrangements and innovative instrumentation was down to their producer, George Martin.

    Strip away a lot of that stuff and many of the songs don’t stand up anywhere near as well as the best of Queen.

  • @Prestonpiemincher 'LENNON IS A GENIUS, LIVING IN EVERY PORE'... who sang those words preston--think you know better than Freddie do you , you horrible little homophobe.

  • @toosexyformydaks this song is better than any beatles song have to agree even rollin stone 500 greatest songs agree with me and 2nd rolling stones satisfaction is there

  • @toosexyformydaks I'm here all week hear yourselve pleb you got no knowledge only knowledge you got is mouldy beatles records DICKHEAD

  • @Prestonpiemincher oooooh capitals even , preston is getting upset.. yourselve? What kind of word is that? Who taught you to write? You pathetic little twat.

  • @toosexyformydaks is a fuck wit

  • @Prestonpiemincher- Charming , your vocabulary is awe inspiring

  • @toosexyformydaks comments spammed because he's an untelligent pleb with no job and life or taste in music

  • @Prestonpiemincher The Beatles is the most successful band throughout the world ranking number 1 with a max of 1 bill albums sold, while Queen ranks number 7 with a max of 300 mill sold. There's a reason for that. Trust me, I love Queen, but you cant say the Beatles made shit. If they made shit, they wouldn't have been that successful.

  • @Ecclipze That is ridiculous, being massive doesn't make you any better. I don't think the Beatles made shit, but my opinion is not based in how many records the sold or how many centuries they were number one.

    PS: Queen's still better-

  • @tanjahxx Thats not what I said, it means more people liked them/knew of them, and billions of people cant be wrong. And again, you say it like its fact. Its not, its a mere opinion from a mere person.

  • @Ecclipze the beatles were able to get world acclaim because they were the first boy band and happened to start at the time of big social changes and loosening of morals. this is the only reason why they sold more records because their music is in fact crap on most part. raging mediocrity, complete opposite of queen

  • @redbart666 You have the audacity to call The beatles "crap"? You better get your fact straight. They are LEGENDS. Queen is Amazing but NOTHING can compare to the beatles. And Queen did a cover of John Lennon's song. So STFU.

  • @MegaGlitterprincess queen didn't cover beatles song this version of imagine was sang by fred just after lennon assasination as a tribute. it was not for commercial purposes, queen didn't cover any songs for singles. they only performed few classics at the concerts. the beatles in fact started all this but it was shit start. there is a fundamental difference between these two bands queen music will live on forever the beatles already fell into obscurity

  • @redbart666 already fell into obscurity? :/ Dude. The beatles music will live on forever. And so will the Queen's. And the beatles did not have a shit start. All the artists like elton john, enrique, chrisitiana, celine dion have covered their songgs. :/

  • @redbart666 What are you smoking? The first boy band? There were plenty of boy bands before that. Boy bands started becoming extremely famous throughout the 60's. They were also popular in the 50's, but solo artists were more known...who do you think backed up those solo artists? BOY BANDS. The Beatles were the first boy band to really make it that far, far enough for losers like you to hate on them. You are one hater...I'm not scared you're gonna change the rep of the beatles.

  • @Ecclipze reputation is all they have, loser. their so called music is so bad i'm getting nausea and turning off the volume whenever i hear them. deal with it they're in the same category as rap "music" ir italo disco you need a certain kind of nerd to like it. it's not universal and that was my point, moron. i used wphitets because you seem to can't write anything without insulting others, so if you prefer that kind of talk then here you go, retard.

  • @redbart666 Right. I cant write anything without insulting others?  Maybe you should re-read that little comment you posted? You seem to think that your opinion matters, that what you say is 'what is'. It's not. 'There you go retard'.

  • @redbart666 What are you trying to proove? That your opinion matters? Maybe to you and your mom, but other than that...not really.

  • @zytigon Most modern theologians that Hell is actually "ceasing to be". The traditional "fire and brimstone" of Hell was a fiction created by Dante and has no grounding in the Bible.

  • @tomwantshelp Thanks for that

  • @redbart666 i totally agree

  • @redbart666 You are just so ignorant man, dont know what you are talknig about. If beatles music were crap them why Freddy loved them?. They actually changed music forever, just listen music before and after beatles. Did you know that some mayor universities have some beatles courses as elective courses?? and you say their music is crap? LOL.

  • @toosexyformydaks go fuck yourselve

  • @Alyan01 type in "youtube to mp3" into google

  • The chance of "religions" disappearing are slim. Why? Because spiritual warfare is real. The "false" religions are like decoys to guide you away from the truth.

    They serve the enemy of God very well.

    Everything is being done to distract you from the truth. Imagine a lot of broken glass & one very real precious diamond in the group. What is the chance of you finding the diamond if you get tired of all that broken glass?

    FYI Jesus Christ has done all He said He would in my life. He is faithful.

  • Queen is nothing to be compared to anything.. cos Queen Is about Genuinely life.. and being human being.. nothing pretending..

  • REASON for your STUPID PEOPLES.. Freddie sang this song back 1980 maybe cause Lennon just passed away that same years they knew each other.

  • I pretty sure Freddie and John both would be disgusted with you all for posting such hate on a video such as this....just saying...

  • ohhh =(

  • It's much better then John's version !

    Freddie >>>> John ! All the second, minute, hour and day of the week of the month and year and the century !

  • @SirFlodaReltih John Lennon never covered a Queen's song though...

  • @LeonEyedass

    Still Freddie is just the fucking best !

    And Btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE MERCURY ! :')

  • @LeonEyedass thats cos he had passed away before queen were big i think, but i would think he'd have been good at it :)

  • @LeonEyedass

    Maybe because when Queen began to became famous Lennon was withdrawn with yoko

  • @LeonEyedass no they didn't, the Beatles only last a decate, two years later Queen was born, Freddie died in 1991 and they still play, not as the y used to play, but they are. Perhaps that's reason John Lennon or the Beatles never cover Queen. I like both of them, more Queen, but the song is awesome, and speaking for myself I like more this version. Not trollin,I'm just saying :)

  • THIS IS THE BEST VERSION EVER ...BY FAR

  • @gentlejoker22 The Novelty Songs

    When you’re five or six years old, ‘Yellow Submarine’, ‘When I’m Sixty Four’, ‘Here Comes The Sun’ and the like are fantastic songs. In pretty much the same way as ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ is fantastic poetry.

    The fact is, though, that The Beatles novelty songs are, frankly, embarrassing. They’re generally awful music hall pastiche with – in far too many cases – the tone deaf Ringo singing.

    QUEEN avoided this trap and thank God for that.

  • @toosexyformydaks hellterskelter knows more about music than you you turd , not all Queen members were beatles fans , plus Queen were better songwriters than piggie beatles dead beat , john deacon was by far better songwriter than lennon and mc cartney ever was, oh and hummmm his fav band was the police , bye bye beatles fan dead band since 1970 very funny

  • @Gentlejoker22 but Queen are huge beatles fans and this is widely known that they turned out better than beatles. So If you think the Queen suck why does your favorite band no idealize them. You must hate beatles... you must not be a fan. goodbye

  • @sgtPepper10100 your a dickhead hows that ?

  • @toosexyformydaks no your the pest with your fake profiles now piss off beatles turd and get a job your band died 40 years ago.
