Are there any Queen songs without the RS? Of course songs that have any guitar parts...
Is This The World We Created?
Long Away
I guess Roger songs like Sheer Heart Attack and Fight From The Inside?

Probably more...

Seaside Rendezvous is one I think
"Normally i can't dance to save my life. But as soon as I step in dog shit, I can moonwalk better than Michael Jackson."
Long Away does feature the RS I think, on the guitar orchestrations.

Dear Friends?

It does have the RS, during the break.

I think they both have Bri on RS; Roger does play guitars there, but not all guitars.

> Seaside Rendezvous is one I think

Quoting the original post, 'Of course songs that have any guitar parts...'

> Dear Friends?

Quoting the original post, 'Of course songs that have any guitar parts...'

Of course, but not all the song. For that matter, we could mention the Bo Rhap intro, or the first seconds of Save Me, etc.

Now, songs without the Red Special, in the studio (off those featuring Brian on guitar):

- Drowse: Although not credited for it, I think there's a strong chance that the slide used for the song isn't the RS.
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love
- Man on the Prowl

There are some pix showing Brian playing a Bison during the Opera era, but I don't know if that could make it to final cuts. If so, maybe I'm in Love With My Car's another one without a strong RS sound (compare studio and live versions).

And then again, there are several songs without guitar (e.g. Dear Friends), and songs where the guitar's not played by Brian (e.g. Execution of Flash).
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Are you  sure it wasn't a buffalo?
[QUOTE]- Crazy Little Thing Called Love[/QUOTE]

Just the Tele, all the time (but the accoustic, of course)? I have to pay attention to that again. At first this made me a bit confused but I was thinking about the live version.

Staying Power? Can't remember if it has a RS solo or something or even if there's an audible guitar at all. Back Chat has a lot of other guitar(s) but the solo is the RS.
Last song on Made in heaven....
Bos Meg ya all.
What did they use on Man on the prowl? the tele again?

Wasn't it the Double-Six used on Long Away? I am also convinced that the rhythm clean guitar on I'm In Love With My Car was also this Double-Six....
There is quite a difference between an electric (RS, tele) and an acoustic (12 string, spanish) guitar.
Looking at all of them in the original post, there are quite a few songs i can imagine.


Polar Bear :) Just cuz u can hear Deacon (is it John?) say something like '...playing your fucking 12 string!'
