Great stuff!
From the top of my head, i remember these facts:
- Freddie changed the direction of "These are the days of our lives" at Roger´s request because Roger felt stuck with it. I´m assuming that Fredie wrote the chord changes during the guitar solo since it´s the only change in direction that i can hear and,
- Brian wrote the solo wich Roger didn´t like first but B[b]rian told him to let it sink and now Roger loves it.
The Bijou stuff is interesting since i allways thought that the guitar was Brian´s. The chord changes are Freddie´s but since the guitar was recorded really fast (meaning that Brian knew what he wanted to play) and Brian statements of being a tribute to Jeff Becks´s "Cause we ended as lovers", can´t we just assume that Freddie was just arranging the chords over wich the guitar was going to be recorded?
Either way this is a great topic. Thanks for writing it, Sebastian.
