When was the first pop video released?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first musical short film was by Lee De Forest in 1923. Over the years, many performers claimed they invited the music video - Little Richard said the film of Tootie Fruitie, was the first. The Beatles have something of a claim as they produced films that would be used to replace personal appearances with the first being for Paperback Writer/Rain. Pop videos became far more widespread in the 1980s -as recording and editing on videotape became cheaper and more widespread. There are many claims, but Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was recorded on video tape and was probably one of the very earliest.

Their pure awesomeness! Roger had drum skills like no other and could sing! John was an excellent Bassist. Brian had his guitar made himself and by his dad for his own unique sound, and Freddie, who sang like no one will ever and also performed on stage as if he were in a movie.

Brian May Vocal Range?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

His range was 3 octaves, with an additional 11 semitones (1 semitone away from another octave) in falsetto.

His lowest recorded note is the F (F2) above bass low C (C2), or the second-lowest F on the piano. He is heard hitting this note in the songs "Don't Try Suicide", "All Dead, All Dead", "Somebody to Love" and "Bohemian Rhapsody".

His highest recorded note in full voice was the F (F5) above tenor high C (C5), or the third-highest F on the piano. He is heard hitting this note in full voice in the song "All God's People".

His highest recorded note overall is the E (E6) above the soprano high C (C6), or the second-highest E on the piano. He is heard hitting this note in the song "It's Late".

Thus his full voice range was 3 octaves (F2-F5), and his total range was one semitone away from four octaves (F2-E6).

Why is the song Bohemian Rhapsody so popular?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"What is Bohemian Rhapsody about, well I don't think we'll ever know and if I knew I probably wouldn't want to tell you anyway, because I certainly don't tell people what my songs are about. I find that it destroys them in a way because the great thing about about a great song is that you relate it to your own personal experiences in your own life. I think that Freddie was certainly battling with problems in his personal life, which he might have decided to put into the song himself. He was certainly looking at re-creating himself. But I don't think at that point in time it was the best thing to do so he actually decided to do it later. I think it's best to leave it with a question mark in the air." Brian May

That was so wrong to find every song referring to Bohemian Rhapsody and merge all the questions together. You wiped out every answer, correction, category change not to mention the questions. I found the original answer and my answer to this question. I also split a lot of the questions away from this one. Your answer came from the same source I got my answer from. I could say yours is more simplistic and delete it, but that would be rude. Out of 51 questions you turned it into one, with a one paragraph answer.

My answer was:

Sorry, but that is definitely not the answer. Bohemian Rhapsody was released in 1975, long before Mercury knew he had AIDS. Freddie was flamboyant, an extrovert, and dramatic to say the least. But to say that he wrote this song because of the illness he died of 16 years later makes him a psychic as well as all of his other attributes. Queen states that Bohemian Rhapsody is about a young man who has accidental killed someone and, like Faust sold his soul to the devil. On the night before his execution, he calls for God in Arabic ("Bismillah" "Basmalah"), and with the help of angels, regains his soul from Shaitan. On the other hand, Kenny Everett (A radio and television personality), quoted Mercury as claiming the lyrics were "simple rhyming nonsense". Looks like Freddie took it to the grave!
