Roger always has problems remembering the lyrics especially during the Cross or later solo tours where he wanted to sing old Queen songs like I'm in love with my car and he just goes "when I'm holding your wheel" then sings that line 3 times and the band just wondering when to continue. Or when he just sings nana nananana nana "Wolverhampton '98 or 94. But that's Roger's charm of ruining songs I think, you don't really bothered because he does it in a hilarious way.
That's what happens when you try to rhyme 'wheel' with 'gear'...
In a concert at the Saarbrucken open air festival ofcourse, Roger had dyed his hair blonde but it ended up green (I was just explaining that as it was mentioned previously).
However, JOHN is a differant matter. Has anyone seen where part during one of the Wembley concerts in '86 John throws Freddie's crown up in the air, then runs to get it after it's hit the ground?
in the video tie your mother down, you can see the jump in the video when the explosion goes off, they had to reshoot because roger was blown off his stool. i thought that was funny.
They've all had their fair share of blond moments (I didn't read the topic because I'm a lazy bum, so forgive me if these have been stated. Also, I got some of these from NQ, which was not entirely reliable, so I'm not 100% positive about a few of them):
-Roger got pissed at an early show and threw his entire trapset across the stage, missing Freddie by inches.
-Roger attempted to dye his already blond hair MORE blond, and wound up turning it green. His roadie's quote: "I never dreamed I'd be working for a parrot."
-Brian got hit by a dozen eggs during a show on the NOTW tour, slipped, and fell on his ass.
-Roger got wildly drunk during the Who Wants To Live Forever? video shoot.
-Freddie once announced onstage, "Brian is a terrific guy - he has a huge cock!"
-At "Christmas at the Beeb" 1975, of which I have a bootleg, Freddie told the audience to take their clothes off during "Keep Yourself Alive."
-John got wildly drunk at a party and put his hand through a plate-glass window. At the next show, he had to play the bass with 19 stitches in his hand.
-When Brian was a kid, he was deathly afraid of the chair in the corner of his room (not an onstage moment, but I thought it was cute).
-John used to flick peanuts at Brian while Brian was playing his solos.
Roger is a bleached blonde and he once had gone swimming and had his hair turn green.
But he is a geniunely nice guy who is very friendly and approachable, however...fans who are very rowdy and overly enthusiastic around him tend to make him a little pissed off...as they would piss off any celebrity. He's tends to be a very opinioned person, but has a heart of gold and does a lot of charitable work especially post-Queen. One is coming up as per Spike Edney's page. You lucky UK people.
Per Spike's SAS page:

Well, I mentioned the time that Roger completely forgot the words to "I'm In Love With My Car", well it was the November 30th 1979 show..
He gets as far as "The Machine of a Dream..Such a clean machine,(and then he starts to forget the words..) when I'm holding your wheel...." And then there is just the music, and then Freddie tries to help out, but its just no use.. They get back on track with the Chorus.. "I'm in Love With MY car.. "
I think his blondest moment was when he was into wearing those damned Wham!-inspired t-shirts ("Choose Life") as stage wear! Freddie's Flash shirts were SOOOOO much classier!
