The singer is pretty impressive - especially considering that he doesn't even have a moustache. I think the rest was pretty good, though a little bit mechanical/artificial. I doubt anyone has done a better job covering that song though.

pretty freaking amazing vocal cover--virtually indistinguishable, though the guitarist needs to be booted IMO.

?????? You're kidding. Right?

I didn't hear anything remotely boot worthy. Actually, I thought it was played well.

The guitarist managed to hit the notes, but he really sounded like he was barely keeping up or playing to sheet music. I don't think the feel was quite there. He may have had a bit too much distortion going on and had to pull back a bit on his pick attack or something. He knows the song better than I do though.

Not enough mustache. Tom Selleck should cover a Queen song.

I think the guitarist played what he was supposed to. It's his vibrato that makes it sound like it's dragging IMO.

Red rocked it BTW.

Believe it or not, this song is very very old.

This is from a local Queen tribute band called Queen for a Day - they are VERY good and he's playing piano while singing this (its in two parts, I'm just posting one - which has an intro that is similar to how Freddie did it live). There are lots of videos of them out there. I don't think they are still together.
