Brian May interview

[davis]

sorry if you've already heard it... pretty interesting to me.

[markowitz]

Thanks for that. Enjoyed hearing it. Articulate, educated, polite, thoughtful and a damn good rock n roll guitar player who achieved a unique place in rock with a homemade guitar. Hero from my high school days.

Great interview. I enjoyed it very much. It shows you that not all rock n rollers are just a bunch of dopes who just want to get high and make money.

[davis]

Agreed on all counts. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fits in with what Freddie Mercury said a long time ago… paraphrased, Queen's songs are just songs without any deeper message.. "except for some of Brian's."

Fits in with what Freddie Mercury said a long time ago…

are you sure he didn't just say that recently?

[ThomasKDye]

are you sure he didn't just say that recently?

I knew there was no way I was gonna be able to say that without someone kiddin' me. If I'd left off the "a long time ago" someone would have said, "When, last week?"

[No Pride]

Enjoyed the interview, thanks!

Brian is one of my heroes too, and not only because he's a brilliant musician/arranger/songwriter. He's... I don't know... real. No pretentious rock star bullshit; he's a humble, thoughtful, stand up kind of guy. And one of my all time favorite rock guitar players!

[Koreabruce]

Totally agree with No Pride. Brian May has always been one of the top rock n' roll guitarists in my book for all the reasons mentioned.

I'm still getting chills from hearing him play guitar in that interview. He pulled a "Tony Iommi" SG off the wall of the studio and tuned it up, and then played around with it run through a small Fender practice amp (a Champ, perhaps?) Cool that even though it wasn't the Red Special and it wasn't a Vox AC30, it still sounded totally like him.

[Scott Bails]

Yeah, add me to that list, too. Brian May is a very, very impressive guy, IMO.

[davis]

^ totally agreed. he puts on no airs whatsoever.
