I’m in the “it doesn’t sound like Freddie” group. Not his style at all....but I guess it could be someone playing at Freddie’s house?
Love is still the answer, take my hand...

It may or may not be Freddie, (obviously... it either is or it isn't LOL) but as for it not being Freddie's style - well, if he was reading from a sheet and just playing exactly the notes on the page that would make a difference in style from his playing in Queen.

He didn't rate himself as a pianist and really, he wasn't a great "pianist" in the traditional sense, his technique was idiosyncratic, and *most of the time* he didn't play with any kind of finesse, it was really a rhythmic device, but he had a phenomenal ear and a beautiful sense of rhythm.

THAT SAID about him not being a great pianist and not playing with finesse, that piano part on Love of My Life is GORGEOUS, absolutely beautiful. The same in Jealousy - that's a wonderful part. I'm presuming that in "All dead All dead" it's Brian playing and it's also a beautiful part.
