On the Queen Greatest Video Hits II bonus features they have live clips from some music festivals. Those songs sound exactly like the origional tracks, there's layered guitar Brian could not have possibly played in one strum, and sometimes Freddie would take his mouth away from the mike and he'd still be singing. Were they FAKING?? And if so, why the HELL did they put it on a damn GVH II??
Please somebody tell me I'm wrong!

They actually were lip-synching at the Montreux Festival. I think it was just policy to have any artist appearing lip-synch, but the band wasn't too pleased, which is why Freddie didn't make a huge effort to be convincing.

I've never even noticed it before. I'll have to watch that some time is the festival of 84, or 86?

Both damnit. It's a disgrace. Why on earth did they put it on a Greatest freaking Video Hits then?
But at least I know i'm not crazy now.

And FYI, Joe, just push that little button on top of any post w/ the little quotes and it will automatically include it. (unless you're doing that intentionally, whereas ignore this)

It's because I'm a musical genius with an amazing sense of intuition...
Ok. But really, I thought it was obvious. Then again, I believe I have what you'd call a phonographic memory, kind of like photographic only I can always remember exactly how something sounded or exactly what somebody said. Not too unusual, really.
Good Old Fashioned Boy on GVH1 was recorded before the show then lip-synched by the band.
Freddie and lip-synching... that doesn't fit. I hate that video in Montreux. I don't know if all the bands faked their performances there... But I do know that the gigg was shortly after releasing a new album, so maybe Queen wasn't ready to play those songs live.
AS far as I know, giving bands the opportunity to play life is much more expensive than letting them lip-synching. Queen had to be convinced to do it. And it is soooo obvious they are not trying too hard. And if you listen to the commentaries on both GVH DVDs Roger is telling again and again how boring that is. Didn't he say that telling someone they are good in lip-synching would have to be one of the worst insults?
I think i would make fun of it too. Freddie started off with a mistake and he went with that...ur not foolin anyone why fool urself? He had fun on stage.
