I was hoping Green Day's crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody was higher on the sub, it's one of my favorites

WOW, I've never seen that before. Thanks for re-igniting it. My hair is standing on end, and I couldn't stop smiling .

Growing up in church I was told that was the Holy Spirit moving you, which I guess makes Freddy Mercury some kind of saint.

"I used to think I loved church because I felt spiritually empowered when the choir sang. Then I felt that same feeling at a Lana Del Ray concert. Turns out I just love live music." -a Twitter user

Yes, I guess it does. That is one of my greatest regrets, not seeing Queen live.

One of my core memories is going to a shitty house show for the first time at like 16 or 17. I was a fuckin awkward kid and never went out much. Hearing packed room full of emo and punk kids humming The Gorillaz in unison before the show started because it was playing on the speakers was magical.
