Put Out The Fire (Brian singing?)

Not to be rude or anything, but have you ever heard how Brian sings?
It doesn't sound like him at all. ;-).

But I'm not sure.


Same goes for the final 'It could be happening' in Say It's Not True

20.05.2009 17:23		 I think it could be Brian
lalaalalaa
20.05.2009 17:24		 it just has that Brian May vocal fragility in there.  Somebody email him :D

28.08.2009 16:49		 Well the song was written by Brian so I guess it's possible.

I'm curious on what more people think.

28.08.2009 17:07		 Brian wrote the song, but sings surely Freddie.
Queen On Ice
28.08.2009 17:56		 It never occurred to me it could be Brian singing that line - always sounded like Freddie to me.

For a long time I was confused though as to who sang the main part of Sheer Heart Attack - Freddie or  Roger.

I do think some of Freddie's (and possibly Paul's) vocals resemble Roger or Brian's, but it always sounds like Freddie sounding like them - not them actually singing.  Most likely because he's singing along to or basing his vocal on the guide vocal or some other coaching from the songwriter.

I'm pretty sure Freddie sang that one. ;)
