Does anyone know why Freddie sang songs live that he didn't sing in the studio? Sheer Heart Attack and '39 are two that come to mind.

and the major reasons I guess Freddie sang them is that 1) Freddie is the frontman, the focus for the audience, who'd probably expect him to sing everything; and 2) if Freddie isn't singing these songs that don't have piano, there's really no point in him being on stage, is there? I kind of doubt Freddie would relinquish that much spotlight time

Personally, I love Brian's voice, but you do have a point (kinda) in that Freddie's vocal power probably worked much better for concerts than Brian's, for certain songs.
Brian does not seem to have the frontman blood in him, and Roger still has to play the drums. As for John, hmm... why not?
I prefer Brian's voice over Roger's any day...
have you listened to brian singin tie your mother down at the tribute 1992?or his love of my life at the brixton academy? enough said
Brian's got a very weak voice, but it sounds alright on the records but too weak for live performances.
I like Brian's studio version of '39 a lot more than Freddie's live version but I guess that if Brian had sung it live it would have turned out rather weak and boring...

I personally think that Brian HAS frontman qualities. I witnessed him once in concert in 1998 in Cologne. Even though he had throat problems he made it a concert to remember. In Queen concerts however, I can hardly hear Brian singing. It is mainly Roger singing the background vocals.
And I think it is quite obvious, why Freddie sings most songs. Why take the VW Beetle when a perfect Ferrari is yours, too.

I do believe it's Roger singing Sheer Heart Attack in the studio.
