Inu: When possible, I'll hear to the Guitar Hero things you mention. But it doesn't change the big picture, which is:
Were most songs done with e-drums, computer, synths, programming, midi et al? No.

Right. That much, I can't disagree with.

Why would Roger be able to drum stuff like Now I'm Here, Brighton Rock and Prophet's Song. Which have really odd drum stuff going on, and not being able to play I Can't Live With You?
Knowing Queen it wasn't a matter of laziness but probably an esthetic reason.
Also, in those days the Queen guys had some equipment at home and were able to record their own demo's. Some of the drum/percussion tracks made for their demo tracks were used later on the album cut. (Overdubbed by acoustic drums, if necessary)

It's not always a matter of difficulty: [i]Staying Power [/i]is a hell of a lot more difficult to sing than [i]'39[/i] (lead vocals, that is), and Freddie surely did a way better job on the former than Brian ever could if he tried (even if he hit the same notes); however, on the latter, Fred's voice is good, but not as good as the doctor's. There are also many people who can play guitar way better than Freddie, and who can play way more difficult things than [i]CLTCL[/i] but when doing that song, for some reason, they don't quite cut the mustard (IMO, Brian amongst them).
Same case here: AFAIK, Roger's attempts to reproduce what Brian had programmed didn't please the composer as they, allegedly, didn't have the correct 'feeling'. It's not a matter of 'if he could play Brighton Rock et al., then he could also play ICLWY', but a matter of 'every song is different and every case is different.'
Remember that Einstein had problems putting on his socks (or something like that), which is way easier than coming up with relativity.

Also, I'm pretty damned sure the drums for [b][i]IWBTLY[/i][/b] (1997 Rocks '[b]Re-take[/b]') were completely redone live for that remake. The sound on those drums are more consistent with the NOBY drums than the 1989/1991 acoustic drum sounds.[/QUOTE]
I didn't know I Was Born To Love You had a '97 rocks retake as well. ;-) hehehe
