Maybe he got over his fear by travelling to India :) Yes, good point, it can be an urban legend like Paul`s death, although not such a controversial one.

And why the heck is Morgan Fisher wearing that HORRIBLE pink jumpsuit? He looks like he came out of the asylum for loony faggots...
Look at the picture displayed on the QZ main page at the momennt - Freddie seemed to like it :) - but then he was a "faggot" himself, right?
He was on stage during 'Tutti Frutti', 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' and for play guitar on 'Hammer To Fall', for the rest of the songs he wasn't, but he played keyboards and didn't have to be on stage for it.
the question is:why in some songs is on stage and in some others is off stage?
queen didn' t want the others to see that they a fifth member to play live?
'On stage' - I mean that he could be seen on the video. He was on stage for whole show, watch carefully for Magic Tour videos and you'd see him.

I forgot that bit down there huh! ;-)
What about Mike Moran?never happened on Queen's history? As a matter of fact he shadowed Spike on late 80's early 90's, playing on Queen and Solo albums, on Freddie's tribute and even replecing Spike on The Cross!
On Tritbute he played on just one song (Somebody To Love) as I remember, and Spike played on that show too, but for most of the songs. In my opinion, Mike was more than just a session-musician and he didn't work with Queen so much as Spike did. He composed songs for 'Barcelona', he's a great arranger - Spike's job was a little bit different.
Yes Queen music is not for piano virtuosos. It`d be like hiring Yo-Yo-Ma. A great musician, but there`s no sace for his instrument in a Queen song. Or maybe some very simple stuff, that would make him waste his talent. Although imo they`re wasting Jamie Moses. He had a great time in Brian`s solo tours - he got to sing amazing harmonies, play the solo of Let Your Heart Rule Your Head, do a duel with Brian in Resurrection, play the great acoustic solo of Another World, and join Brian for some two-part lead stuff (e.g. Back To The Light). In those "Queen" concerts of last years all he does is one-chord-per-bar in Ga Ga and imitate the bass-line in Tie Your Mother Down. Such a talented person, what a waste.
Spike get's a mention in the Live At Wembley DVD booklet (Adition Guitars, Keyboards & Vocals:Spike Edney(He's the one doing the mistimed "It's A Kind Of Magic"'s)) Brian Intrudeces him at the FM tribute & doesn't Mike Moran. He was Fred's manager: not Queen's.

IMO (and I risk the claim that many pro musicians would agree) you can't waste a good musician. It's not a question of what you play, but how you play it. Every lick can be a challenge. A good musician is always gonna be brill, no matter how simple his riffs.
Rhythm guitar is fundamental. You will need a good guitar-player if you want some half-decent rhythm guitar. Brian knows this and so he will hardly hire anyone less proficient than Jamie Moses to do rhythm stuff. Judging from your point, any guitarist that Brian might possibly hire would be a waste of talent, because they'd all be pretty good. He would hardly take a shite guitarist. If Jamie Moses would consider his job as boring or not worthy of his talent, he wouldn't do it. No-one forced him to play just rhythm with "The Cross" in 1999, either. And Jamie Moses may be a good player, no doubt, but he's certainly not beyond the skill of many other guitar-players. I don't think he's too good for his job. In fact, no-one is too good to play rhythm. However, there are many self-satisfied fretboard-masturbators who suck at playing rhythm. Lead guitar is overrated.
Yes I agree that rhythm guitar isn`t the "scale down from lead guitar" as many people think. I should have added that, for instance, Jamie played very interesting rhythm stuff too, it wasn`t only his leads in China Belle and others: in Tear It Up he got to play the guitar alone most of time, in Fat Bots he was the only one playing during second verse, etc. The interactivity between the two guitar players was great. They were both lead and they were both rhythm.
The way you put it makes a lot of sense: to enjoy a good car you don`t need to always be in fifth gear. But, you can`t enjoy it either if you just use the first. For that matter you can buy a bicycle.
