Martin Scorcese. Instead of filming has beens like the rolling stones, do me a favour and capture one of the few bands hat matter nowadays.

@kingpeterandrew Wow. That comment was from two years ago. I'm not really that impassioned about whether or not this cover is "good" anymore (I'm still bored by it, but I'm more mellow than my teen years). But for the sake of a response, I have to say, it's not really REMARKABLE that he's playing keys and guitar. The parts are pretty basic. Jason Lytle of Grandaddy did that all the time. If he were playing a Bach fugue on keys and a guitar solo, THEN I'd be impressed. Good day.

@AEFic ummmm. drozd is playing keys AND guitar. pretty remarkable.

@newowned Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was agreeing with you. I was just trying to expand what you said.

@ndschroede23 You may have misread my comment, because I agree with what you just said. However in later live performances they would cut to that part of the music video and walk off stage whilst it played for the audience. They would then walk back on afterwards and play the coda

@newowned I don't think even Queen played that part live. The videos I've seen just show them playing that part of their music video. It'd be impossible for Freddie (or anyone else) to do that by themselves.

They didn't 'pussy out'. The middle bit had around 180 vocal overdubs as well as effects on the vocals. It was impossible for them to recreate the calibre of the section live, and they often stated that they didn't enjoy playing along with backing tracks, so they chose not to play along with the backing track.
I do agree that its great to see the Flaming Lips give it a stab though, they did a pretty good job

Can't really hear the sound clearly to judge it, but them fighting the balloons alone is worth watching.
