He thanked them for staying out of it, so I guess they didn't play or sing anything.[/QUOTE]
And here´s confirmation by Mr. John Deacon. This video is being shared in the announce section by Chiefmouse- It would be great if somebody could translate (it´s in Italian) this interview because, for me, it is the first time i see a Queen member talking about Mr. Bad Guy while Freddie was still live. It it had to be the quiet man.

I think John says at 2minute mark that it didn´t have any intrference from other Queen members, but i don´t know. Maybe some Italian person can help.
And this is off topic, but John says at 1:10m something that appears to be that he has co-written a song with Errol Brown from Hot Chocolate.

Cheers. I always thought Headlong (especially after listening to the early versions with the percussion stripped out) was Roger playing live - there are several subtle nuances in there which I didn't think a machine could capture.

I think you are right about Headlong. There is a demo with a drum machine, but the album version features also Roger. Only the 16th note hi-hat sound is from a drum machine, it sounds like Roger plays only quarter notes on the hi-hat.
I also agree with you about Party. I think Roger only plays some cymbal accents and snare drum fills (or in light of the David Richards article about the Miracle album, maybe even those are samples).

Not perfect, but the following should be nonetheless a decent translation of the video Mr QueenFan posted (John Deacon's interview dubbed into Italian):
29s: "John, what did you do when Freddie was busy with his solo project?"
"Well, basically I got bored, because I didn't do anything during that period of time"
38s: "...but you built your own studio!"
"Yes, a small one. But there wasn't enough work to keep me busy all the time. I really got bored since Queen weren't working. For this reason I think that in the future, when we do not work as Queen, I will really have to do something else."
53s: "How come weren't you busy in a solo project as well?
"The answer to this question has always been the same: I can't sing, which is true. My singing style is really..."
1m04s: "You could always collaborate with someone..."
"Yes, as a matter of fact this is the only thing I could do. These days I have written a song with a chap, Errol Brown from Hot Chocolate. Can you remember him? Anyway, we have only written one track that may eventually be published".
1m:40s: "What do you think of Freddie's album?"
"Some parts of the album are disappointing, while I really enjoyed other parts"
1m:55s: "I don't know, it's hard to say... It's something he wanted to do all by himself with no interference from us.
"I think he should go on with his solo works, because we (Queen) don't spend enough time working together, we find it hard working together, I think we should experiment different solutions"
2m15s: "Do you find it hard working together? In what sense?"
"Well, we argue all the time!"
2m20s: "So you're not such close friends, you don't see one another outside work?"
"No, we hang out together sometimes, but when we are in a studio, we immediately start quarreling! We quarrel about everything, and this makes everything very difficult. In order to be able to record only one track, we need a long time. "
4m01: "Who wrote One Vision?"
"One Vision has been credited to Queen, but I think it was mainly written by the other three, seeing that when I arrived the project had already started. By then they had already written the song..."
4m15s: "...which was inspired by Live Aid, wasn't it?"
"After Live Aid we all felt more confident. Before then, Freddie didn't really feel like entering the studio for six months or a year. But after that (Live Aid), he said: 'Ok, let's do some recording together again and see what happens'"
5m02s: "Do you think you'll play with Queen for the rest of your life? It's been a long time now...
"A long time, yes...Ok, let's put it this way: I would like to do that if there's the opportunity"
29s: "John, what did you do when Freddie was busy with his solo project?"
"Well, basically I got bored, because I didn't do anything during that period of time"

You're welcome.
Of course I based my translation on the Italian version of John's words. Plus, I'm Italian and vaguely remember that interview, so that should do the trick :-)

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that you took the time to do it.

Hi AndreaR,
could you please help us to translate the added phrases in the last minutes of the longer version (Kurgan version) please?

I have also pm-ed you.
Thank you ^^

Hello there!
I have translated the last bit of Kurgan version. Plus I slightly modified the translation of the last question and added the English version of John's greeting at the beginning - which was rather clear anyway ;-)
00s "Hello, Deejay Television"
5m02s: "Do you think you'll play with Queen for the rest of your life? It's been a long time now..."
"A long time, yes..."
"...Well, for the rest of your career."
"Yes, we'd better put it this way. Of course I would like to do that if there's the opportunity, but who knows how long we will go on. However, at present I can't see any reason for us to split up. If some of us are able to work on their solo projects while remaining members of the band, we will continue to work together. It will only be a matter of having good ideas for writing good songs."
By the way, if I remember correctly, Deejay Television was not a network (like Mtv) but just a music programme which had been on air for some time in the 1980s on Italia 1 (still belonging to media mogul Silvio Berlusconi). Definitely most of interviews and videos were pop and dance oriented. Now it doesn't exist anymore, but there's a radio of that name.
If you need help or have doubts, just ask :-)
Cheers,
Andrea

Only John.
Brian on Africa By Night at the beggining, and it was for Freddie's second solo album, and finally was a Queen song.

Only John is credited but that doesn't mean only John played. There are plenty of things liner notes don't mention.
