I always like the happy stuff like Leroy Brown, Seaside Rendezvous and GOFLB. Great piano.

I agree with you, Brian. They might not be the best piano part ever, but they are very good.

Oh! I forgot "Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon".
Only Freddie could play it with such a funny but elegant taste.

Do2L is my favorite. Fun to play, too.
It just edges out 7SoR DSMN and Millionair Waltz.
Brian isn't too bad on Ad,AD, either.

....Billy Joel's Angry Young Man, anyone???

I totally agree with all these ones but my favourite piano part is the intro of Bohemian Rhapsody...

Thank you Mgik!
I forgot raising a very important song.
The introduction of WATC is so touching and it always reminds me(us) Freddie on the piano like Bo Rhap...
Both songs are very very important to them and lots of fans.

Yikes! I never heard that before. What's the story?

I've never heard about it either. Instead I've heard the story (I don't remember who was telling it... Brian?) about Freddie's bleeding ears... When they were recording vocals, Freddie was singing with such anger and the music in his headphones was playing so loud that after he had finished, his ears starded to bleed...

You're right bleeding ears, could have sworn it was his fingers though. I do apologise.

Seven Seas of Rhye (intro)
Death on two legs (intro)
Love of my life
You take my breath away
Somebody to love
my melancholy blues
Millionaire Waltz (intro...and well, most of it)

I am sure there is more.....
Freddie was an amazing pianist. I mean, most muscians now how to play some basic piano, but his playing was beyond simple and basic. He was, in my opinion, a sheer virtuoso in practically everything he did.

The intro to Seven Seas Of Rhye and Somebody To Love. I think Freddie really could teach modern-day piano players a thing or two.

Freddie was such a good pianist when it came to dinamic and phrasing. There are so many songs to mention, mostly from the pre-game era:

My Fairy King: the piano solo is very cool.
Black Queen: esp the dramatic intro and the sweet outro.
Leroy Brown, Seaside Rendezvous, Sunday Afternoon: its fun to listen to.
Death On TWo Legs: the intro is brilliant, the rest of the accompaniment is only very good.
Love Of My Life: this one always makes me want to practice keys.
Take My Breath Away, My Melancholy Blues: these two was such a joy to learn on guitar...
We Are The Champions: once listen to just the piano part...
Dont Stop Me now: wonderful intro, and one of the most ass-kicking beat of what Rock n Roll gave us.

For me ...
Bohemian Rhapsody is very impressive.

Yeah... you've got some good comments there!!

How about adding something new to the mix - best solo piano part for Freddie and Brian?

For me it's got to be:

FM - Exercises in Free Love
BM - TMLWKY

Sorry!! What I actually meant was their best piano parts as solo artists. Now what do you think?
