Over the field, don't listen to the others. They're just joking.

The keyboard solo's at the beginning and end of Bijou are considered as Freddie's masterpieces.
I don't know if you can consider his keyboarding on Procession as a solo, since it is an instrumentel song.
His piano solo on the live version of The show must go on, on Greatest Hits III is brilliant!
Forever, the piano version of Who wants to live forever was also very 'typical Freddie's style'
The intro on You're my best friend, where Freddie plays the electric piano is also a good example

I hope this helped?

"His piano solo on the live version of The Show Must Go On"?! What?! I've been pining for a 'The Miracle' tour and now this? Please explain?

All that post was tongue-in-cheek:

Bijou hasn't got keyboard solos.
Procession hasn't got keyboards.
Show Must Go On hasn't got piano and there was no Queen live version.
Forever was played by Dr Wig, not Lord Teeth.
Best Friend was played by Duke Ostrich, not Lord Teeth.

You're My Best Friend was played by Freddie. Credits can say what they want but when you listen to the piano track, the "Freddie-ness" is so obvious that you can almost see the guy playing.

It's like saying that Roger played the solo from Love of my Life. I'm sure he could play it... just not like that.


Show Must Go On sounds Freddie-esque to me too, but not too sure about that. I'm pretty sure about YMBF, tho.

Whoooooooooooooo???



Kenny Mercury????[img=/images/smiley/msn/confused_smile.gif][/img]

Maybe that was Kenny Cetera I was thinking of.
