There is a famous Oasis clip where they are on Top of the Pops singing Roll With It where Liam and Noel switched places as they hated miming on the show.
Imagine Queen did the same thing and they dicided to mime the performance in each others places.
Who do you think would go where?
I have to think about John on the mic for this!
(Just imagine it is I Want It All.. the big come back single of 89)

Well there’s already that documentary footage where Freddie plays drums & Roger is on the Red Special!
So I’d have to stick with Fred on drums & Rog on guitar. I’d LOVE John on vocals, but Bri on bass isn’t quite as interesting, so I guess Bri might have to do drums & Freddie bass, sigh.
Actually, I reckon Roger would be brilliant value miming as front man! I think I’ll have Roger as front man, John rockin’ guitar solos, Bri on drums & Fred bopping with the bass!

I thought that but Roger on the mic is almost a given.. too predictable

Haha, alright then... I feel like John would be uncomfortable on the mic, but I’d be intrigued to see what Bri would do in the front man position! Would he totally go for it, Freddie-esque?
Thus it’ll have to be
Vocals: Brian
Guitar: John
Bass: Roger
Drums: Freddie

Squeeze did the same thing on Top Of The Pops when they refused to let them play live. So they all swapped instruments with keyboard player Jools Holland on guitar.

Muse have done it too when made to mime. It’s pretty entertaining! Even keeping up the pretence of “the drummer, Matt”!

All bands should do it when forced to mime, I think!!
