  • I am sorry Queen fans. Bruce is God of music!!

  • Great cover needs more of Bruce tho Freddie Mercury god of rock Bruce Dickinson god of power metal would of loved to hear Freddie and Bruce sing together just a shame Freddie was taken before his time they would of been a perfect duo

  • Bruce is like Chuck Norris of music

  • i was hopeing for more bruce but it is a very good cover.

  • bruce is the best singer of all time and no one can disagree with that

  • I also thinks it needs more Dickinson, less Mme Caballé

  • Considering that covering this song is impossible, they both do a great job.

  • Considering that covering this song to me is sacrilege... Bruce does it very well.

  • here is not only Bruce Dickinson....it´s a duet: Bruce & Montserrat Caballé

  • Bruce can cover anything

  • beautiful

    

  • I definitively prefer queen's version, but bruce is the man and he's really close to freddy.

  • Well, Bruce sings waaay better than Brian May would, I think we can all agree on that ;)

  • Comment removed

  • this song is singed by bruce and manserrat caballé

  • the hard rock section with bruce was pure genius!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Not interested in comparing... Bruce is competent to sing this song. One of the only voices who can perform it with quality...

  • Nice try Bruce, but Freddy's the best singer who ever lived.

  •  wonderfull <3

  • Well, I can't say that this version is MUCH better due to Monserat. But I still think it's a better version.

  • Montserrat Caballé war schon genial mit Freddy zusammen, aber auch Bruce zusammen ist es einfach super

  • As I am a fan of Iron Maiden, I would say this version is better in my perspective. But I know I'm not the majority here. Queen's is great too!

  • Its complicated to do a cover of Queen, because Fredy´s voice is incredible, but Bruce did a good version.

  • I wonder how this would be the music you of Blaze Bayley!

  • I'm fan of Freddie, but Bruce is the best in history

  • @tennicioustime: you gotta admit he did a pretty good job

  • monserrat caballe

  • you can't judge some people's voice! everyone has a different and unique voice! as for the song, it's awesome! :)

  • I have to say, it doesnt matter if they are as good. nothing will compare to the original.

    the fact that they do a cover is a tribute to the band and for that I say rock \m/

  • It's amazing what music can do...a masterpiece sing with mixture of rock, metal and opera. Simply amazing.

    Bruce did a great job but to cover Freddie...impossible :)

  • if someone in the entire world can successfully cover fred mercury is bruce dickinson

  • How the hellcan people not like this song and most im portantly the singer

  • muy buena version! vamos todavia bruce!

  • My two favorite frontmen of all time

  • nobody can cover this. Dont get me wrong but its just an impossible job.

  • @tennicioustime, not true. The Muppets did it. And it was awesome.

  • @BoondocksOfBoston true I laughed my ass off

  • @tennicioustime well, Bruce just did.

  • @aco2456 Not even close, But dont get me wrong Bruce is one of the best singers

  • @tennicioustime Bruce did an awesome job here. He didn't miss any tone. difference is in color of voices, but that doesnt matter...

  • Comment removed

  • @tennicioustime Two words, one name

    Weird Al

  • @depture fair enough

  • @tennicioustime already covered son!

  • Only BRUCE DICKINSON can sing this classic of MERCURY with same emotion of version of Freddie.

    ONLY Bruce...

  • Best Bohemian Rhapsody cover.

  • what's with all of the messing around with the key changes? don't screw around with the song to THAT degree, please.

  • I can't judge this two greathest singers in the World. I like both.

  • All I've got to say is that Bruce Dickinson has way more than meets the eye. Great cover.

  • Freddie Mercury and Bruce Dickinson are great gifts to us ordinary people who cannot sing, but can very well listen...

  • respect for queen but, as a metalhead this version better for me.

  • What's the date of this concert?

  • Needs more Bruce, less opera lady singing.

  • Alot of people didnt realise Bruce was good friends with freddie, thats why bruce did this in memory of his friend....well done bruce !!!!

  • why he do this .......

  • Awesome as hell! Bruce Dickinson definitely did this great song justice!!

  • @MadMAxx765 que poco oido tienen algunos...

  • LETS GET A FEW THINGS STRAIGHT: Bruce did an AMAZING job. Obviously, we are all used to hearing Freddie, but Bruce's voice is a nice contrast. His vibrato is distinct and attention grabbing. Although not having as intense vibrato, I really like Freddie's use of falsetto and different tone colors, which are things Bruce can not replicate. Its like comparing Maiden to Queen...

  • I think the real problem is that Dickinson's baritone is too deep to be successful with Caballe's much higher range. Still, a great try.

  • @brengf Bruce Dickinson is a thousand times more talented then this poser opera singer!

  • Was a divine work, but Freddie is The Pavarotti of The Rock, or Pavarott was the Freddie of the Opera no-one can supere the gods

  • You can all give your opinions on how Bruce's voice doesn't fit this song, but I would call it extremely courageous to attempt copying this big a masterpiece. And in my opinion both Bruce and Montserrat do a pretty good job.

  • big maiden fan, but freddie blows bruce away

  • freddie is the best singer of all time imo, only bruce is in the same league as him, amazing singer, which he has really proved here, cos bohemian rhapsody isn't an easy song to sing and he's done a fantastic job of it, love em both tho and cant wait to see maiden in august, best cover of a queen song ive ever heard as well

  • @georgieb123ify hpaphaphaphpahaphpaphaphap :D 

  • A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

    *-*

  • Freddie and Bruce share a very special talent, what ever song they sing it becomes their own when they sing it. I love them, both solo and with their amazing bands.

  • great voice

  • he's is damn good, but isn't even close to what Freddie was...

  • Is that Montserrate Caballe singing the female part?

  • @Xcorgi I believe so

  • freddie is the best...

  • If you want to compare Bruce and Freddie, you must hear the entire Bruce's solo work since his work with Maiden can make you think he doesn't have flexible voice. He does.

  • wow!!! fantastic!!!! love it

  • oh , my, god...

  • The metal part <3

  • Bruce blew away the opera singer, UP THE IRONS!

  • semplicemente stratosferica.......la classe di BRUCE non è acqua.............

  • Comment removed

  • This just isn't rock enough. Bruce sings it like opera. Yeah, it's an operatic song, but Freddie's rock vocals worked a lot better.

  • fr'Eddie' Mercury 

  • i dont know, but even though it's true that it's originally by freddie who is also a god, I personally liked more this song, well, sung by bruce dickinson, I didn't like the opera singer, but I would like more the original song with Bruce's voice

  • 25 people dislike this video? f.u

    the thing is...that since the legends have been on youtube everyone can say his bullshit.....Bruce you are a Legend...aliving Legend and the best teacher for me...my life is music...i live to play and i play to live...so Iron Maiden and you are the reason i play and create music....thank you....

  • OMG!!! He did it! he finally did it!! Hell has really frozen over.

    One of the greatest Metal singers of all time has cheesed out.

    OMG!!! I thought it was bad when Paul Stanley did Phantom of the Opera, but really Bruce?? Shame on you.

  • @kapnkrusty1 Oh STFU

  • If they had removed the opera singer in all parts but the opera it would have been at least as good as when Freddie sang it, but as mentioned the song is made by and for Freddie. But Bruce is amazing, still as mentioned above the opera singer sink it way to much :( Still a good cover though, could have been incredible.

  • @Darshaagan This opera singer was one of Freddie's most admired people and featured with him on the last song he ever recorded. He would have been proud to hear this. Get your facts straight before running your mouth fool

  • It is nice to see that Bruce is paying tribute to the greatest singer of all time, Freddie Mercury!

  • I wish bruce would have sang the whole thing by himself. Still awesome though.

  • Only a genius can cover another genius and sounds good, Bruce's range is awesome.

  • In my opinion, Bruce sings this song better than Freddie.

    Bruce can sing anything.

  • Bruce is my favorite singer and he did great but i think him an the opera singer is just not a good combination. (not that the opera singer is bad either)

    Also, whoever complains about Bruce is full of shit. Like anyone can sing better than the master of metal.

  • mamma mia Bruce Dickinson mi fa sempre venire i brvidi!spettacolare!

  • Utterly horrid. First bad singing I've ever heard from Bruce. His brain must be rotting. He was once the greatest of the great.

  • @musiccalgary

    You're ridiculous.

  • @Maidenhead1996 You're gay.

  • @musiccalgary

    thank you for the wish but i'm actually not so gay right now.

    also, bruce wasn't the greatest of the great, he IS the greatest of the great.

  • @Maidenhead1996 Ummm, nope. You are fully gay, i.e. choking on cock daily. *And* the lamest of the lame. Double trouble.

  • @musiccalgary

    Thank you my friend I appreciate that.

  • @Maidenhead1996 You're very welcome. Have a happy cock.

  • Bruce covering a song from Queen, wonderfull i like them both.

  • i'll admit queens version is stil the 1 that sends shivers down my spine but hats of to Bruce Dickinson for 1) having a great voice and 2) having the courage to try a cover and do it with a full range of opera singers and do it in a different style without destroying Freddies legacy. not my fave version but still very impressive to do and a gd version nonetheless

  • now freddie is happy, bruce!

  • holy shit,im blown away :o

    

  • @Simplydro you mean Bruce right? GOOD!!

  • i notice a lot of people are arguing about halford and dio, well my friends i hate to tell you this but...BRUCE DICKINSON IS THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME!!!!

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan Take it easy bro...they are fighting to see who the best is, but we know who is the best OF THE BEST...XD

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan Well him Freddie, Gillan and Covardale :)

  • @Krzisnik162 Freddie #4, Gillan #6, and Coverdale like #15

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan Gillan1# Bruce1# Freddie1# Covardale1#

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan Not the greatest, but one of 'em. Surely there is is Mercucy too, and many others.

  • @Tezzindomigo Mercury is 6th greatest singer IMO. Right after Bruce Dickinson at #1, Geoff Tate at #2, Chris Cornell at #3, Rob Halford at #5, and Ronnie James Dio at #5

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan Yeah!!!! but FREDDIE MERCURY is the GOD OF ALL SINGERS!!!!

  • @ZombieD56 haha Bruce is better my friend, much more technicly skilled

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan  Yes I know, Both are Gods in there Generes... I'm Big Fan of Iron Maiden Too!!!

  • @ZombieD56 well thnks for not being a blind fan! if you think Freddie is more talented im all down with that, as long as you give Bruce his credid. im just saying hes more technicly skilled, which he is. Skill and Talent are completely different things. most Queen fans dont realize that. sorry im not a fan of Queen. their not a bad band by ANY means. just not my style. Freddie was an incredible singer ofcourse, and Brian is a great guitar player

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan Amen to Your Words Dude!!!, Run to the Hills, The Clairvoyant, Wasted Years and Dream of Mirrors, for me, is where Bruce demonstrate it's Great Voice... Cheers from Mexico!!!

  • @ZombieD56 Run to The Hills, The Clairovoyant are far from Bruce's best vocal examples, Dream of Mirrors is a pretty good choice though. check out my uploeaded vidioe's called Bruce Dickinson-amazing rock vocalist part 1 and Bruce Dickinson amazing rock vocalist part 2/. Cheers from AMERICA!

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan

    Good guess but you're wrong! None of them can hold a candle to Paul Rodgers and I'm a huge fan of all of them.

  • @l01ner hahahhahahah rodgers has half the skill

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan

    sorry, halford OWNS dickinson

    but both are great.

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan ROY KHAN

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan i don not think so pal!!!.... Dio was the Best in Rock And Metal, Ian Gillian, Fred Mercury, Rob Halford, and The Ripper follow him so close...Dickinson as Ozzy ar not so good.

  • @volkulaku dude if you actuely think that Bruce fucking Dickinson isant that great you need to open up your ears a littlt more

  • @volkulaku Kill yourself, you'd be doing yourself a kindness since you clearly don't appreciate the majesty of Bruce and Ozzy

  • @berskerben Bruce and Ozzy are just good. But Dio was Better than them ....No more words!

  • @berskerben Bruce and Ozzy are just good. But Dio was Better than them ....No more words!

  • @volkulaku No, Bruce is not just good, he´s amazing. Dio is even more amazing. Ozzy´s voice is just mediocre.

  • @theinmortal6 i agree ozzy's voice is mediocre, but Dikinson weill never be the greatest singer of all time.....

  • @volkulaku Of course not, Freddie was better. I prefer Dickinson over Freddie, but it´s just a matter of taste, Freddie´s voice was much better.

  • @volkulaku Bruce is an excellent singer and frontman. Why you would count him out as one of the best singers of all time is beyond me, but really, to each his own, huh?

  • @ChubbyGregLord I count him like one good vocalist, i agree, but he is not the best like the other pal says!! you should be agree that Dios, Ian Gillian, Rob Halfrod, the Reaper and many others had a better voice, and they do not intent to compite with the Queen Band's Frontman...i think that goal is out Dickinson vocal scale.

  • I find this a lot more soothing than the original version. Bruce is amazing, and did a great job on this cover, but I still like the original most.

  • I love youuuu Bruceeeeee :* :* :*

  • This is a great cover, especially for Bruce <3 but I only wished he could've sung the whole song all by himself without the whole opera staff on the background. :D

  • OK this is a fucked up combination of Barcelona and a bad cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. Bruce is better than that... :-(

  • Bruce is the best singer that ever lived!

  • @seangerrymusic

    No, just the best alive. 

  • @JayMann620 No, the best singer ever. period

  • yes, the bruce dickinson

  • Wow! It's about the last song I'd picture Bruce covering (back off! So I don't have an imagination!). I laughed. I cried. I cheered! Good job Brucey, boy!

  • Damn good! I love Bruce and his voice but in this it doesent bring out the same feeling.

  • @mormor0709 I agree, but if there was no vocals on a version by queen themselves bruce would of made the same feeling to it

  • I'm laughing on people who say Freddie sings it far better etc. Oh come on. This is a fucking Queen song, it's written by Freddie himself. All the vocal standards of the song are for Freddie Mercury not Bruce Dickinson. Bruce Dickinson did a pretty amazing job on this cover. This cover is by far the best Bohemian Rhapsody cover I've ever heard. You're thinking so simple. Bruce's performance would be far better than Freddie if they sing Aces High or something. Think logically.

  • @Maidenhead1996

    I`d read and agree the terms and conditions!

  • @Maidenhead1996 Really its a very good cover, but i think so because i consider the voice of monserrat cabale give it such an amazing power that the original didnt have. by the way the cover made by the london symphony orchestra is amazing also!

  • @Maidenhead1996 Good fuckin Point!

  • @Maidenhead1996 well i think seeing a dead Freddie Mercury carcus singing Aces High would be pretty awesome to see...

  • @Maidenhead1996 Agree on the aspect you are pointing out!. Bruce and Halford are my two most favorite metal singers. But in terms of vocal versatility, Freddie is far superior than Bruce. Let me tell you I don't like soft songs..so neither queen nor freddie is my favorite band/singer. And the point that every singer will shine the most in their own song is right, but I am sure Halford will do great on Bruce's songs but Bruce will fail to reach to Halford's ability in singing priest songs.

  • @Maidenhead1996 Sorry, I forgot to point out that Freddie can sing almost all kind of songs (even death growls if he wish, I guess). But Bruce's voice is limited to maiden kind of songs. Everybody who can sing and love to sing will agree my point. Bruce vocals are very strong and can reach high notes but not flexible. In that aspect, I bet Rob Halford can do a better cover of Bohemian Rhapsody than Bruce; and sorry for Maiden fan. I don't mean to troll you all. Just my opinion.

  • @deathbloodydeath You haven't listened to any of Bruce's solo-songs, have you? A lot more than just your standard Maiden-esqe songs so saying that Bruce's voice is limited to that genre is very arrogant and narrow-minded.

  • @Maidenhead1996 chpame

     la pija

  • @Maidenhead1996 I think that your comment don't have a deeper knowledge of the music by itself. The art is completely subjective, and for your nick is obvious your Maiden's and Heavy preferences. However, one (and I must to be clear with that), of the cathegories in the qualify of a singer is his vocal range. Farrok Bulsara AKA as Freddy Mercury has a incredible range with a great accuracy. sorry but the people that is listening metal MUST lto know at least a few classic music masterpieces.

  • ELE 'bruce' É REI

  • huge ironmaiden fan but here air aid siren man seems weak to me

  • This is a duet Bruce Dickinson did with Montserrat Caballé...

  • Holy Crap! And I thought Hansi Kursch was an amazing cover singer...Bruce Dickinson does a pretty darn good job himself :). His vocal range on this song is incredible, he manages to flow with the Opera singer very well, I am impressed :)

  • Bruce Dickinson = Jesus Christ

    Freddie Mercury = Godfather

  • bruce has been number one always but dio still rocked

  • Mercury is the best

  • No one can beat Freddie Mercury... even Bruce...

  • @Cyprusisgreekd robert plant is the best

  • @0zzyfan44 are u stupid. U are a dumb fuckhead

  • @0zzyfan44 stupid !!!!!

  • @0zzyfan44 that why Maiden doesn't have to tune their whole set down a whole step when they play live? that why bruce can still perform? I mean you're entitled to your opinion but your name is Ozzyfan..... when i saw Ozzy last year he was a pitiful sight to behold (i love Ozzy btw but let's be real). and when I saw Maiden that same year Bruce was running around and blowing the place away with his air raid voice

    Bruce>>>Ozzy anyday.

    Good cover though

  • Listen to the perfect strangers, bruce vocals, fantastic..

  • only BRUCE singed better than Freedie...

    ONLY DICKINSON IS COMPARATE WITH MERCURY!!

  • Comment removed

  • @AFABIANO1 think twice before writing shit like that..

  • @AFABIANO1 actuely Geoff Tate, Ian Giillan, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Jorn Lande, Eric Adams and Chris Cornell are all comparable to Freddie.

  • @AFABIANO1 True but there is also Joe Lynn Turner, Lou Gramm and Rob Halford. Those guys and Mercury were truly in an elite vocal class of super range and massive power!
