That's utter pish. John played all the (human) bass parts on the album. Brian's got loads of enviable skills, but playing bass isn't one of them.

If you can play the guitar, you can play bass guitar. Not necessarily expertly, but you can manage. It's not too different from saxophone: if you can play the tenor, you can play the baritone; again, not necessarily expertly, but you'd manage.

It's not *that* simple. Brian, Roger and maybe even Freddie could obviously play a simple line, but they were not even close to John's abilities. It's like Brian singing Show Must Go On: he could hit the notes (even the very high ones), he could do the phrasing, but it's completely different when a genius takes it over. While John's not a bass genius, he was definitely an expert.
As for Freddie's last recordings: I think Phoebe confirmed somewhere that his last visit to Switzerland was during October, and he was still doing vocals then.
As for songwriting: Some people here are still living in 1995, it seems ;)
Headlong: Maybe it's a similar case to Slightly Mad - a looped pattern + loads of synths.

im not the man to cut down freddies greatest acomplishents. champions of the world is obvious not factual in that bit he is just mistaken, it is quite obviously and well known that freddie did mother love when you say he did but that in the event he did the final verse of a winners tale sometime in the month or maybe a bit more before he died, in metropolis studio.
peter freestone and jim huton are also either senile or liars to you because in both their books freddie says a bunch of the stuff in his 'last week's so-called

Right. When David Richards says something you like, he's correct, when he says something you don't like - which he also proves by showing the studio track sheet - he's simply mistaken. Your arguments are the greatest ever, you should be a lawyer or something. Exactly what was your proof that Freddie recorded his last vocal weeks before he died?

No, it's members like "andreas_mercury" who ruin the whole discussion. If "aion" hasn't got his facts straight, well fine, you could at least correct him using reasonable arguments. Does name calling help to any extent? Rhetorical question.

I haven't got quotes at the moment, but it's been confirmed that Fred's last visit to Montreux was to record. Now:
'Freddie had flown back from Switzerland on Saturday, November 9, 1991having made up his mind that he was no longer going to take any of the drugs that were keeping him alive' (Freddie Mercury: An Intimate Memoir..., page 232).

theres a real good saying along the lines to something like 'listen to what's being said, and not the person who is saying it'. i read the same quotes and interviews that to you read and watch, since i dont see that track sheet in front of me at this second i cant say if its relevent or if it means to some other session. people are mistakes all the time, especially the fog memory of Brain may.
