Innuendo isn't "that" similar with Bo Rhap or Black Queen imho. In fact I think it's got more common details with Action This Day
WHAT THA PHUCK?!?
I didn´t say Roger is Beethoven whatsoever. What I said is that Innuendo isn´t that closely related with Bo Rhap or Black Queen. It is indeed Freddie-esque all over, but the cross-references are with other compositions of his (e.g. Great King Rat, Barcelona, Vagabond Outcast), definitely not with BR or TMOTBQ, except for the length of the tracks.
Does anybody know who plays the piano in "Friends will be friends"?
I would say Freddie, but it doesn't seem his style very much...

Vagabond Outcast
What is this???
I think originally Brian had a higher standard of piano playing than freddie... however freddie learned to play even better as queen went on. I also think freddie has a slightly more imaginative style.

MUCH more, I would say...
when was brian better than freddie at piano? listen to the first queen album (fairy king) towards the end, that was the earliest tracks, obviously even back then freddie was much better than brian.
Vagabond Outcast
What is this???
It's one of Freddie's compositions belonging to the era when he was the member of Ibex/Wreckage. It can be heard in the bootleg of Ibex live in Liverpool.

In my opinion the most difficult pieces that Freddie played on the piano were:
The millionaire waltz and Don't stop me now.
And with regards to Brian, I consider that "all dead, all dead" is very well played.

I haven't seen that topic before.
I already have sleeves (scanned) of Ibex bootlegs, but I just couldn't remember that there's a song called "Vagabond outcast".
I know eveything about Ibex, but unfortunately, I'm not able to get that recording (Ibex Live at the Liverpool sink club - 9. IX. 1969.).
However, I have "Rain" - from Freddie Mercury box set. And I'm not impressed. But nevertheless, I would love to own a complete concert.
I'm in fact fan of Smile. :) They were great!
I have to disagree that Freddie is equal to Elton John or Billy Joel. I like Freddie's playing, don't get me wrong. He has his own unique style that works for him. But in no way does Freddie have the chops that Billy & Elton have.
yea, but i don't think anyone said fred was as good as those two. i'm biased on this because i don't like billy joel's mucic at all, but i like elton. even so i admit joel was a better piano player than fred, and also elton was joels equal. also check out tori amos, she's on the same level as elton, mabe even better. i still think freddie was in the top ten or fifeteen of the best rock n roll piano players in history.
