Backing tracks were usually recorded live as a trio in those days. It made far more sense for John to be on bass rather than piano. 'Best Friend' was an exception but not by any means the rule.

There has been mention of Roger’s “home” studio versions both above, and on the official blurb; as he hadn’t moved into The Mill at the point of NOTW being recorded (he hadn’t even finally moved in by the time of the WWRY & SYW promo videos being recorded in the grounds), does anyone know if he DID actually have a home studio wherever he was living before (and if so where that was), or is it or is it more likely that his demos were actually recorded in ‘proper’ studios either off his own back or in Queen downtime?

if it had been played by Freddie what the sense showing in the video that is played by John?

I didn't know that John played the Spanish style guitar on Who Needs You...

"This BBC version of Spread Your Wings is superior to the album version"
This is why I take this site, which some people see as the Queen bible, with a pinch of salt.
This is purely opinion. It should concentrate on fact.

Not gonna lie: a tad pissed-off that Roger's demo vocals for SHA won't be on the set. Would've made sense in light of Fred's version of AD,AD. [/QUOTE]

GB said at convention that Rog laid down his demo vocals for FFTI at home, though the quality of the vocals isn't great which makes me wonder if Roger did it on a mono cassette deck like us older people used to have in the day and they've dubbed it onto an instrumental version of the released take and lowered the volume of the demo to try and blend it all together.
When we finally hear it at home in perfect quality, I may be proved wrong about that: it's very hard to hear clarity and detail at Convention.

Roger was living in Barnes back then. No, he didn't have a bona fide 'home studio' until 1993 (when he commissioned the famous Cosford Mill one to be built). It's most likely just a 'home demo' (a demo recorded at home with a stereo tape recorder) and somebody mistook 'home demo' for 'demo at a home studio' and then the telephone remained broken.

Frederick was pissed when they were shooting that video. What people mime on videos often differs from what they did in the studio, including:
- Brian playing the 'Back Chat' arpeggios.
- Brian playing the 'Crazy Little Thing' intro.
- Rog singing BV's on 'Dust'.
- John singing BV's on loads of things.
- Brian playing acoustic on 'A Kind of Magic'.
- John playing banjo on 'A Kind of Magic'.
- Brian playing a skull on 'It's a Hard Life'.

It's been on the album liner notes since 1977. There's no bass on that song so (rhythm) guitar was all John played on it. The lead bits were by Brian.

Whether it should concentrate on fact or not is an opinion, which contradicts your statement.

Wait a minute... are you saying that Brian can't make a skull sound like the Red Special? You're about to make some powerful enemies here, sir.

I do write my opinions on my site from time to time. It’s an outlet for me. I am fine if people don’t agree with them; in fact I like it when I hear contrary opinions. That’s the purpose of forums like this one. Since it is my website and I pay for the hosting and the name, I write what I want; not everything will be objective. I try to be factual and I’m sure there are errors, but I constantly work at it for everyone’s benefit.

It is clearly identifiable as an opinion, which you are free to disregard. If your response to encountering such opinions is to launch into the above example of pathetic whining, you are in need of either the services of a mental health professional or a good beating. Or both.
Seriously, you are such a pathetic whining asshole, go fucking deal with your obvious issues and stop using this forum as a place to vent your debilitating character flaws.

there's no sense, if the piano on the album version was played by Freddie, he would have played (mimed) in the video
The style of the piano is different from Freddie's typical style. There is a big difference in the arrangement of the piano between the BBC version, where Freddie is playing and the album version where I am convinced it is played by John.
