Queen's albums (from 74's "Sheer Heart Attack" until 1980's "The Game") always boasted that "no synthesizers were used," in showing their allegiance with the post-Zeppelin hard rock movement. However, John Deacon's lovely pop masterpiece "You're My Best Friend" on "A Night at the Opera" features what I believe is a synthesizer (at the very beginning and throughout the song). Someone please tell me; is this a synthesiszer being used? And if not, how are they acheiving that effect?

What I find funny is that people complain a lot about Queen`s use of synths, and nobody did any bad comments about Led Zeppelin`s and Yes`s inclusion of them.

Maybe it's because Queen always made a big deal about being synthesizer free, so when they finally incorporated the synths into their music, it was a departure for them.

Personally, I fookin love Yes' use of synths. I saw them about 3 weeks ago and they were fantastic!
Peace,

They're still going strong after over 30 years together. I love them too, especially now that Rick Wakeman's back!! (Couldn't stand Igor!)
