Brian May - Too Much Love Will Kill You (live)

[Alwongayem]

Is it a playback music or not ... I do not care. It's a great performance and great music - that what counts.

[bumbledoctor]

3:01 i thoght he forgot the words at first, then i realised he sung it in another language

[jbelmaestro]

@bumbledoctor yes it s in french. Im french and i can t stand to use french for a english song. It sounds so weird and  I don t like it.

[jbelmaestro]

@bumbledoctor sorry it sn ot in frech german

^^sorry to all fan germans fans. It s because there is a version in french version and I dont like it. But the german version sounds great :)))

[ramojhz6138]

[sebamorel]

fucking playback.... i hate when the musicians do that

[Colonsigmoide]

@sebamorel I think it's not playback, this have differences with the studio song.

[sebamorel]

@Colonsigmoide he is singing, but the music is a recorded track... and they put a chorus and a pianist on the stage?? what for?? he is an amazing musician.... how much it take to play the guitar and sing at the same time?? im not saying that he is a bad musician... but i really hate the playback circus

[zaimz]

@sebamorel It's not playback! No way to be a playback performance.

[Vahelmin18]

@zaimz Besides, if this was playbacked, the comment of PoffyTheCucumber wouldn't be rated with 41 thumbs up, as the studioversion doesn't have problems with the high note. :p

[shakeshaftthomas]

@sebamorel that wasnt play back.

[ayeram]

No, no, no..... That what's funny :-)

[d3n1zc]

interesting

[Samuz8]

He even sings in germaan :DD

[mafs13]

Not such a powerfull voice as Freddie (who does have such a voice..) but still a powerfull performance.

[arunimadasgupta]

im killed

[JackyLipps]

Im in love with this song and always will be...but the german part did make me chuckle

[TotoWilliams11]

Freddie Was the Queen

Brian Was the King

[uberyute]

[PoffyTheCucumber]

4:17 - Brian, Trying To Reach That Note Will Kill You.

[kornjubi]

@PoffyTheCucumber :D I love Brian, but that comment is as epic as he is.



[PoffyTheCucumber]

All through this video, I kept wondering who this guy was, who kinda looked like that guy from that British band - then at 3:30 he picks up the Red Special - oh shit! It's BRIAN MAY! Suddenly he's real. When he's singing solo, it looks like he's embarrassed to be wearing those pants, and he doesn't know what to do with his hands; as soon as that guitar gets slung, they look like pants that Brian May always wears - and he sure as hell knows what to do with his hands!! What a god!

[winnetouch]

Lol. Lovin' the pants :P Brian, you are the man I associate rock with the most. Screw all those other posers that play imposible scales. You can do it better but choose not to since you know how to make better music :D

[peladra]

having that outfit without guitar sucks

[TheSunnyGirl83]

Sooooo schön... Verzeiht, aber das Lied gefällt mir von Brian noch besser als von Freddie. Brians Stimme ist so sanft.

[leafiloteo]

Wow Brian May nailed that guitar!..

[kyberprintsess]

i love this

[Softie25]

awesome

[thenhateme]

I KINDA LIKE THE PANTS

[lojanbacalz123]

yaahh so popular now dis song;)in philippines

[bone2chill]

I just remembered my dad... he's a great drummer and vocalist... one of his favorite songs... Rest in Peace my deh...

[twistedthrill]

Where can i watch live performance of Freddie singing this song?

[silvahlady]

@twistedthrill

I don't think there is one. It was originally a solo song by Brian, and I believe the Queen recording of it with Freddie was him playing around with it in the studio. It was released after he died.

[twistedthrill]

@silvahlady ..ok thanks for the info ..this song is very popular right now in the Philippines

[nico63]

thanks for this rare clip

[HolinexReturn]

Germanish?! Brian- WOW!!!

[ezra014]

Most of May's electric guitar work live and in the studio was done on the Red Special guitar, which he built with his father during his teenage years. He's also a physicist and astrologist.

[imusolf]

@ezra014 Thanx for this newsflash, it's like you just told us "it's dark at night" . . .

[andromedarr]

Zu Viel Liebe Tötet, sie erlaubt kein Doppelspiel, wie soll ich entscheiden, wen ich wirklich lieben will? Du hast Zeichen übersehen, meine Schreie überhört, zu viel Liebe tötet und zerstört. In English: Too much love kills, it doesnt allow some double-game, how do i have to choose, who i really want to love? You didnt see the signs, you overheard my Shouts, too much love kills, and destroys :)

[audilicious8]

i really feel my emo.. to hear dis song i lyk ur song brian,, i realy thnkful 2 u 2 write dis great song,, thnx,,,thnx,,

[kaczap]

@audilicious8 do not, use language as it is, do not be internet kid...

[hopethehermit]

@420AdrenaLine

[clonerman2010]

I no need to say to many good things about this genius man I JUST WILL TELL YOU ALL, BRIAN MAY Now is the King OF Queen that´s it. he is the man with LAS PALABRAS DE AMOR. Greetings to all of you.

[saverio93]

best song ever xd FROM ITALY xd

[amici4everandnever]

ke persona dolce!

[GreatQueenFan]

isn't it the best ballad in the world? he sings sooo tender... and when he touches red special... he was a real artist in all items. genius...

[4FabBEATLES]

Brian is so amazing--hes a great musician, songwriter, singer, he built his own electric guitar he plays with his dad, and has a PHD in astrophysics -hes just so talented--and I love the hair! What a rockstar!

[ProphetsRose]

A legend performing a classic!!!

[itti1977]

Let's Freddy only?

[Slipping19Beauty]

He is 62 now, but he seems ageless

He was born on the 19th of July, 1947.

[lashlashlashlashlash]

skinny jeans ftw

[LoverStyleJump]

He seemed really happy when he played his guitar =D

[4FabBEATLES]

@LoverStyleJump He clearly loves playing guitar- he made that guitar called The Red Special himself with his dad as a teenager--May is quite smart as well as a great musician

[Andrewmae2]

He"s honestly singing it for Freddie...

[dirkw127]

Wow...ein unglaublicher Song und eine unglaublich gefühlvolle Performance...nur unser Mod Carsten Speck...Go Home !!! ;-)

[raven2uk]

i think he would have been good as the new vocalist for queen

[yen2lav]

Long Live THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!

[francho292006]

just greaaat

[Mortifer0029]

Omg wasn steifes Puplikum..und wat nen Moderator..

[PLATOON72]

A W E S O M E

5 stars

(Queen & Brian May lovers: feel free to send me friendship request)

[wickedfeylady]

He sounds SO beautiful singing in German

[Classicmozayfull]

Wow... I would have loved to hear more of Brian's lead vocals during Queen's years. Incredible...

[francho292006]

@Classicmozayfull you can, there are a lot of queen songs recordead by Brian in the lead vocal in Queen, for example 39 or good company and more

[nzjuan]

just wondering...Is his german any good?

[paulreeve]

Hervorragend ! Gesungen wie gemeint.

[hirshburger13]

ive NEVER seen him performing without his guitar. still an awesome song though

[zhgsangdrax]

Tears in my eyes..... one of the best songs ever.....

[Rashanen]

Brian is better in this song then Freddie ever could be. Singing is more then just sing beautiful. It is also teling the story, something Brian does better dan anyone else I know. You can see in his eyes he knows what he's singing. Beautiful voice. Beautiful performance...

BRIAN MAY 4 EVER!!!

[rkisf90]

Well, he started singing this song mainly because Freddies passing and it probably reminds him of Freddie. Brian May does have a beautiful voice but Freddie Mercury did to and he had the power behind it. Pretty hard to find someone better then Freddie Mercury.

[tobyobrie]

Fail. Freddie's version is better. Sure, Brian's is more sentimental, but so what.

[MercurysGirl]

@Rashanen

I catch your point but you are overreacting. Yes, Brian nails this song, after all he made it about his own life, so he must be touched by it. However, Freddie gave much more than a beautiful singing. His gifted voice is considered the best one ever because it trancends generations. As a composer and performer he was able to make a bond from his soul to the audience, in a higher level than any other artist. He's still the one and nobody will take that away from us, not even QUEEN+

[Griwhoolda]

It's all about vocal honesty.

[ryhorn100]

Wow... that's the first time I've ever heard him sing in German, LOL!

Brian Rules!

[janzevec77]

für einen engländer hat eine gute aussprache :) ich frage was wäre passiert wenn er das live mal am stage im olympiastadion in müchnen gemacht hätte vor 60000 waren Fans... also ich glaube die wurden glatt ausflippen :) na ja er hat gelärnt, niemals zum show gehen... :)

[ruddlgamble]

junge, wo bist du denn her? brrrr...

[QueenRogerTaylor]

@janzevec77 Entschuldigung, aber ich habe nicht alle verstanden..Kannst du bitte auf englisch oder französisch übersetzen!!!

[trvwatson]

The guitar ruined for me

[Masiania95]

как-то Мэй не смотрится без гитары.. :)

[fajix1]

W queen....and our music...

[Rashanen]

He owns Freddie with this song by being emotional. Freddie was better, but Bryan knows how to bring it over.

[kutzbill]

Very good job Dr. May.

[GoodoldloverboyRick]

Brian`s version of this song is awesome.

But Freddie`s Version has this magical feeling

[hardework1]

FREDDIE - we miss you!!!!

[nixjobbdolgom]

es war wunderbar Brian May auf Deutsch singen zu sehen/hoeren.

i'm spellbound

[QueenRogerTaylor]

@nixjobbdolgom Ja! Das ist richtig... Früher, habe ich niemals Brian May auf Deutsch singen gehört und das ist sehr gut !!!! (Tut mir Leid für mein deutsch aber ich bien französisch)

[fukiwow]

bryan may youre the greatest guitarman ive ever seen i love you very much,

[pompa04]

Wonderful song , wonderful man !

[katberek89]

which year is this?

[121544849]

1992

[katberek89]

thanks for the info:)

[bigwo56]

Even his German sounds perfect ! ! ! (correct me if I'm wrong) Another excellant performance, Dr. May!!

[CosmosRocker]

You're Right, great Performance in a difficult Language!!! I met him and he is very friendly and normal, just a human.

Hope to see him again back on Stage in the future?!?!!!!

[stefo213]

che cagata il tedesco...mi dispiace ma è così...purtroppo è la meno musicale tra le lingue...

[tj97490]

happy birthday

[Slipping19Beauty]

Happy Birthday Brian! :)

[4FabBEATLES]

@Slipping19Beauty how old is Brian May? he seems young still and as amazing as ever

[trople]

@4FabBEATLES Brian May is a vampire. He hasn't aged since 1978.

[4FabBEATLES]

@trople LOL--that would explain his geniusness and awesomeness

[PoffyTheCucumber]

@trople - Like Samson - his power is in his hair. Don't cut it ever, Brian. Don't cut it!

[INTROtabs]

damn beautiful...i miss "THE queen" so much...

thanks for posting this kind of music sir...you dont know how you touch someone's heart especiALLY MINE..thank you.

[bifi27]

WOW...in deutsch*schwärm*...das is so schön...ZU VIEL LIEBE TÖTET...♥♥♥♥♥♥

1000 sterne!!!!

[ezedj11]

TE AMO BRIAN

[Marcula100]

Greetings from the band Hands of Mercy

[Griwhoolda]

3:24-3:28....it's like he forgot where he put his guitar... :D

[renatadelnero78]

LOL! Yeah! Oh, Brian, soooo cute!

[Griwhoolda]

Exactly! Which is why I'm wondering why the thumbs down from whoever. Oh, well.

[brightonrock74]

For those who are not aware, Brian wrote this song along with two friends of his, as he was going through a very difficult time. He has said that in the late 80's and early 90's, he went through severe clinical depression stemming from a difficult divorce, the media hounding him over his relationship with Anita Dobson, his father's death, and Freddie's illness and ultimate death. This was written during that time. It's based on him loving both his wife and Anita and struggling over it.

[GaGaforQueen]

@brightonrock74 --hey thanks for the info, but do you know where you read this info? I am just curious, I know he does not often give the true meanings and inspirations for his songs. Beautiful song. Just beautiful.

[thespianweasel]

:') ...beautiful.

[TheHurricaneClub]

It's touching... no words... LOVE HIM *_*

[szimola]

so much emotion in his voice at 04:22...

brian is an amazing singer too..

[moneyquickeasy]

AMAZING

[elvis0258]

i love brian may his music his guitar

he is a good singer

[moneyquickeasy]

I want to merry him! He is the best guitarist ever, a great singer, and plays many other instruments, a docter in astronomy, a intelligent, ingenious man, a humble, gentleman, a steroscopic master. I could go on... He also is over 60 and damn, he's still hot...!!

[HonzaArts]

very very good....i love queen.....

[eeeeoooo31]

si dios tuviera rulos seria como brian!!!

ADIO!

[Queenofananas]

I wanna marry with a guy like that. What a genius.

[PfifDeluxe]

in welchem jahr war das ?

[sexoholio]

Chyba najczyściej zaśpiewane Too Much ze wszystkich, jakie słyszałem w wykonaniu BRI... Na początku myślałem, że to PLAYBACK, but not... He's singin' for real!!! Brian May Rocks!!!

[RoCk4PiNgU]

Fantastic...

[winnetouch]

OMG. Look at those pants :D

[Griwhoolda]

Especially paired with the white trainers. :D

[winnetouch]

yeah gotta love brian :D

[josemi21]

Great!

Loved the solo

[LoverofLiszt]

How strange Brian looks without hit guitar, loved it when he took it on at the solo. He shouldn´t be without it, after so much time, it must be like a part of him (and his father, who he build it with).

[missismercury]

wtf? ist das Karsten Speck??

[fatablu82b]

da brivido....bellissima...

[stardust19000]

omg it sounds ugly in german!!!

[rob31778]

grandissimo

[JonnyRich88]

It's not the exact translation of the original lyrics but it's pretty close and it fits the song.

Too much love will kill you

It allows no double-cross

How should I decide

Who I really wanna love?

You oversight the signs

You missed my screams

Too much love will kill you and destroy

[JonnyRich88]

He is singing in German:

Zu viel Liebe tötet

Sie erlaubt kein Doppelspiel

Wie soll ich entscheiden

Wen ich wirklich lieben will?

Du hast Zeichen übersehen

Meine Schreie überhört

Zu viel Liebe tötet und zerstört

[ste4757]

he is not singing in german r u on drugs cos u r one lucky man.brian and roger sing about politics 65466615432 or something the can cash in on the black theme .cos it makes dosh.

[XQlusiveProductions]

Im so thankful that i can understand what he's singin in german. Its not quite perfectly right but still awsome...german is so hard to learn...Its a beautiful language though!

[XoXTimBurtonXoX]

Legend.

[moneyquickeasy]

Such a good voice and the stupendous guitarist - the best in the world! Of course, he can't sing as good as Freddie though.

[1970Queen1991]

he has the voice of an angel! the guitar is obviously not the only thing he can make great sound with...

[pippofranze]

great

[egotumy31]

wir kommen jetzt zum lumpengesindel.wir sind solche arschlöcher.fickt euch oder den nachbarn.

[shirish111111]

he's very expressive

[marcuse68]

Queen still has a voice.

[Beautifuldisasater13]

He has a great voice. You can tell he would rather be behind the guitar and let Freddie sing. major props to him for singing a song by his late best friend. It must be terribly hard for him. Freddie would be so proud of him. It's amazing how he can just pick his guitar up and start playing, he's totally in his element. He did a fantastic job.

We love you Brian

Fantastic job!!

[amiisoad]

Toca la guitarra, toca el piano, canta, habla varios idiomas, es cientifico,... Y encima todo lo que hace lo hace bien, que genio por dios!

[porotapresley]

Totalmente de acuerdo

Encima es un tipo humilde y super amable

Idolo total

[reus18]

Brian May es lo más grande! Un real artista!

[alejoygs]

yo no lo pude haber dicho mejor!!

[Eisprinzessin93]

it sounds so cute when he ings german! but his pronounciation is great! hihi, he could be german!^^

we love you, brian!

he feels safer with a guitar^^

freddie, we'll never forget u! ur amazing!

john, where are you? we miss you so much! please come back! but we respect it, when you say, that you want your peace... :(

roger, stay how you are!

god save the queen!

ur amazing, guys!!!

[Sarah9232]

ist das süß, wenn er auf deutsch singt^^

[alfislo]

though really funny thing is his standing. his completly lost without guitar or piano...look at difference when he picks it up.and outfit is funny: Brian el Mariachi in spandex pants?? Motley Crew want those back :)

[neilaptc]

Ilove Brian May.
