This is soooo true. He has always been a hero of mine and a standard with which to try and live my life. He has said so many things that I always keep in my mind . "Anything worth doing is worth OVER-doing" "keep finding new places" I love the fact that he is always soliciting her opinion as well - that, to me, belies a person who goes through life "constantly curious" God, I wish I was more like that. Cheers Sir Brian
Oh? I'm THAT Brian May??? "It might sound pretentious or it might sound plain stupid..I dunno" -Brian May "I've never done anything consciously" -Brian May
Does he realise he’ll be remembered forever? Like Brahms or Beethoven? Plus, his guitar, if ever sold. Will probably be the most expensive guitar ever. It’s created such wonderful music, and unlike other guitars, it’s the only one. Not a Strat or a Les Paul. There are loads of them. I think it could be the first £10m guitar.
Oh, he knows he's Brian May. He just doesn't wave it in our faces. Plus he displays more grace and intelligence than most people have in their entire being.
I’m a huge fan of Queen, I have seen tons of interviews of these four guys, but never seen Brian come out so naturally, you have done the best interview ever. ❤
This is possibly the best interview featuring a famous artist I ever saw. Brian is such a unique, humble and intelligent human being. And then they pull his guitar out, this legendary piece of knitting needle and fireplace that played on the most famous records and concerts, and they do not even mention it. I could cry.... The questions by Rosie are so good.
Thanks Brian, for letting us all listen in to some of your thoughts, -profound ones, interesting, heavy and light ones, - and to Rosie for asking all the pertinent questions. Wonderful interview and conversation 💜💜
@@martinkasper197sorry but it is the original RS. When it was refurbished by Andrew Guyton Brian had the coin put onto the headstock and the back to the light cover on the hole in the scratch plate.
Love this interview so relaxed and honest, mental health issues my father never would let me to got to school after because l never would make it l recognize the mental abuse that l suffered as a child depression my children were told they were loved and we encourage for them to school they did l am in therapy my daughter lives in Great Yarmouth and my other daughter graduated from Pennstate every time l try to contact you it is a scam We saw you in MSG it was wonderful the concert of my life
One of the most British conversations I've heard in years. Sympathetic hhmms aand aaahss, soft spoken, polite, well worded and very low intensity. Love it!
Interesting.... he was very self-disclosive in what struck me as not a traditionally British manner (e.g., talking about emotions and experience in psychotherapy).
Yeah, a lot of english and scottish people can b quite closed when talking about emotions. not like the french or spanish. i think the welsh r a bit more open. my person exp obvs ❤
There’s no man on earth as completely wonderful as Brian May.He is the perfect human being.He has achieved so much ,but not become a show or adopted a than though attitude.He emanates kindness and is a joy to listen to.
Listening to Brian humming Love of my life made me cry. There is so much compressed in that picture: the beauty of the song, the people who created it, the depth of the countless years passed by, the pain for how things went and the tragedy of understanding what we all have lost in this version of facts in our universe... God bless them all, those living and those gone...
I know, right? He seems especially vulnerable in this interview. Not fully "present" throughout, but there are also moments when he comes back into himself, and you can see his joy then. He was ashamed of not having friends or a girlfriend.... omg 😢❤ I can't with this conformity-obsessed culture, lonely people used to be seen as unique and in touch with God, now loneliness is a so-called "disease" that needs its own government strategy. How about the better strategy of not demonising it in the first place, allowing people to make the connections they feel attuned with? I knew there must be a reason behind his constant mentioning of how he is "pals" with people, of how he knows everyone, 6 degrees of separation lol...
Sir Brian is the definition of national treasure. He is an incredible human and I’m so glad to have grown up in a world with him in it. Awesome interview 👏
What blows me away about this interview is not just how incredible and fascinating Brian May is, but that these two people from different countries and different generations could meet and form such a friendship over their mutual love of music through the Internet. They spent some time at the beginning talking the doom and gloom of certain technologies, but here's an example of a friendship that likely wouldn't have happened even 10 years ago. It was really wonderful to watch them together.
Without a doubt, this has to be one of the best interview chats he's ever done! It's refreshingly warm, deep, natural and casual. It's beautiful to see his comfortable, laid back openness (among many other things)!
It's so good mainly because he is allowed to talk at length. Usually, in interviews, the interviewer is just looking for a hasty soundbite. Here, he has time and space to develop his thoughts and to explain his ideas and opinions.
I cannot believe how down to earth Brian is, we all see how 'fame' can change people, this shows the character of a fine and humble human being. Great stuff!
Brian May keeps reminding us to stay humble, be grateful and just enjoy life. Such a big inspiration not just as a musician but also as a person. Thank you! ♥
The members of Queen are such unique and individual personalities, each an outcast in their own way. Brian comes across as both fascinating and boring at the same time, while Freddie is unapologetically larger-than-life. Roger has a layed-back vibe, and John tends to keep to himself. It's amazing how diverse they all are!
One of the best interviews (if not THE best) with Brian that I've seen. Terrific work! You let him speak, but engaged intelligently and thoughtfully when he invited you to do so. I hope to see you do many more.
How can you NOT love Brian May, absolute legend, always humble and charming, very intelligent and he does ALOT of important work in alot of fields. Bless him❤
This video has moved me like no other. I've not heard of Rosie prior to watching this- she is very intelligent, thoughtful and communicative as an interviewer which lead to the most insightful, honest and wholly relaxed interview I've seen with Brian. He is a Gentleman of the old school with a high emphasis on compassion and respect to all (excepting trolls which I back him 100%) and Rosie seems to be cast in the same mould- which totally delights me. Rosie your interview was a delight; as was your guitar playing. My deepest thanks and appreciation to you both.
I totally agree with you. I have never heard of Rosie before now, and I expect a lot of new great experiences on UA-cam as I subscribe to her channel. I grew up in the 70's, and a lot of the music from then is still living in my heart, so this video just hit me hard. As a (hobby) guitar player, and a fan of Queen, I'ts a delight to se you two together, and to see how you enjoy each other playing. This made my day.
This is my favourite interview with any member of Queen so far, thank you. You have met Brian at the right time where he is able to answer your very thoughtful questions....to lead him to a safe place where he is able to reveal things about himself, his friends and his family in a non-threatening situation. What a skill you have...what a lovely, emotionally intelligent guest. Well done...bravissimo!!
So many long time Queen fans in the comments saying this is the best Brian May interview they’ve ever seen! Must be really nice to hear as an interviewer, and much deserved! Would love to see you interview Tony Iommi at some point
Our world and us are blessed to have ever had Brian created for his living legacy and example of a loving angel he is - thank you Brian thank you universe 🎉
I am a fairly capable player myself, but if Mr. May were to even look at me-much less take out his phone to record me-I don’t think I could even tune without passing out. Well done! The two of you sharing songs like that was very moving. Thank you.
"This is where Freddie comes on." ... and I tear up. The people we lost, almost here again for a brief moment... and then gone again. Thank you both for sharing this!
What a great interview seeing Brian in different light at home in his kitchen. Never knew his father was a Concorde engineer as my grandfather was also an engineer on Concorde
I loved listening to this ... I felt the longer I listened to his voice, the more I felt attuned to his personality..... but I do feel he is a man of hidden depths, extraoardinary compassion, with an ability to transcend the division between his soul and the world around him.
The guitar section was so precious I cried to his reaction to u playing the guitar and seeing him play love of my life❤ I’m 13 and love Queen with my whole heart. Ive been a hugeee Queen fan for 4 years now and I was so happy when I went to see Queen and Adam lambert in October and I could not contain my excitement and I cried the whole way through the concert I was so happy and grateful to experience this concert and when bri sang love of my life with Freddie it made me cry a whole lot I was still crying even after the concert. Hope you grow and get more popular!
A beautiful response. I fully relate to the crying.. I sob often to music, though some of my friends don't quite Understand it. Great to see some of the bands around when I was a kid still touching the hearts of the young. Keep shining too.
I was a Queen fan at 17- my first ever single was It's A Kind Of Magic. I'm 55 now and hindsight says that without the music of Queen life would have been so much harder to navigate - this magnificent group helped with the down times and celebrate the good times. I wish you every happiness and can assure you that in your music choice at least... you're on the right track! 😀
This shows how increasingly clever and wise one can get, and how young one can stay if keeping intelectually occupied👌 Dear Brian, thanks for still beeing a role model for us👍
what did this comment that youre replyign to say because its deleted im dying to know this is like the pretty little liars mystery of 2011!@@JasonUmbrellabird
I am a longggg time fan of Queen. I have the deepest respect for Brian May. Someone who has such incredible talent and created so many wonderful songs that are a part of everyone's youth - and yet, he is so humble and gentle. Mr. May, I am here to tell you that you are enough. Not just to me, but to people all over the world. Thank you so much for your music.
What seems to start as a normal interview quickly opens up into a wonderful conversation between two individuals who are on the same intellectual and moral level. Thank you for this great post, I always felt like sitting at Brian's kitchen table with you!
What an absolute joy to be invited to eavesdrop on your gorgeous conversation together. Loved every second of it. There were no imposters in that room. And Rosie, how you managed to hold it together to play your guitar so beautifully in such intimate proximity to Brian, while he filmed you on his phone, will forever be beyond me. Just brilliant. You got yourself a new follower today.
When I read the comments saying this did not feel like an interview at all, I knew I had to have a listen for myself. Boy, were they right! This is no less than a pure, deep, warm, honest conversation between two smart and lovely people. Brian is such a well of knowledge, wisdom, and so much compassion. Thank you for doing this interview! I cannot stop listening and enjoying it. And with the added treat of such beautiful playing from you both, no less!! You've given us so, so much. What a perfect way to wrap up this whole gift of a video.
Goodness! I've always thought of Brian as a gentle, kind-hearted and thoughtful man and it really comes over in this interview. This is why he's one of my favourite people in the whole world - and the world is all the richer for having him in it. How someone who has done and achieved so much can still be so self-deprecating is beyond me. Keep on rocking, you beautiful soul. A great interview wonderfully conducted, and some sublime guitar playing from both of you at the end.
This was wonderful. I was in my teens when Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" came out.. I remember how both the song and the band had people talking... They really were sooo completely different. This interview had me feeling so many emotions, envy of Rosie's youth, the optimism that she exudes and the zest for the road ahead, plus that wonderful happy smile. I could almost feel that Brian was feeling the same way, and that he would miss her when she left. No I don't mean anything untoward.. I simply mean a reminder of how I once was full of optimism and full of hope, but also it evoked a feeling of what time I wasted on nonsense. The internet gets a bad rap at times and rightly in some cases, but it also gives lovely people like Rosie and many more young people, the platform to dispel the notion that the young are all wrapped up in themselves. "Just call me Bri" I love it.. He is a class human and not a bad guitarist either :-)
I loved watching this soo much!! Listening to Brian M is so inspirational and relatable for me. I'm in the final year of my physics degree, am likely to do a PHD but I'm having a gap in between them to pursue music and see if I can get anywhere in that. I also went to an all boys school, and have similar thoughts on them. Wildlife conservation also is something I'm passionate about. Not only that but listening to Brians thoughts an AI in music, and how artist take ideas from other artists is also something I have thought about. As a guitarist who focuses on classical and jazz but came to them from rock, watching a classical guitarist and a rock guitarist sit down together and take bits of the others music is brilliant. Thanks Rosie and Brian :)
Watching this has made me feel as though I was there in the room with them. I wish! Brian really is such a beautiful spirit, through and through! I wish his life continues to interest him and offer new challenges and keep him safe. 🌈
This is one of the most lovely and thoughtful interviews I have seen in some time. Thank you very much for sharing the time you spent together. I recently discovered your presence on the internet through another channel in which you presented a thoughtful biography of my favorite composer - Tarrega. It very nearly brought me to tears, especially in the last three or four minutes of that episode in which you eloquently described the sensation many of us feel when playing his music. It resonated quite deeply with me, as I have often imagined I am having an intimate conversation with him while playing, sometimes quite slowly, Lagrima, Adelita, a prelude, or even one of his etudes. Apologies for the length of this comment, but finding your channel, your music, and an interview like this is truly wonderful and inspiring. Cheers to you and Mr. May from the U.S.
My goodness - looks like his mum! Queen & Sir Brian mean so much to me. As a fan who got to see them on the Works tour & at Live Aid. Freddie, Brian & Queen are an inspiration who’ve ‘helped’ me throughout my life. I’d love to say ‘Thank you’ to Brian.
Rosie, first thank you for this video - I almost feel bad for not having to pay for watching it! I loved the spontaneous vibe of the interview, so natural, open, free... I watch lots of YT videos on multiple topics (I probably spend more time on YT than I should) and I've never seen such honest, fresh, civilized, interesting dialog. And I watched so many of Brian's interviews, but this one is BY FAR my favorite one now. Thank you again - wishing you all the best.
I think he's spot on and I'm only 9 minutes in. Terry Gilliam of Monty Python was looking through a book of painting or something and came across, Bronzino's Mannerist; An Allegory with Venus and Cupid. The thing that stood out the most in the painting to him was the foot. Yes the foot, which became a Monty Python symbol. Ironically while playing around with text to image AI I started getting the foot myself. I'm totally fascinated by text to image AI(sans the censor)and find it inspiring. I'm like a lot of musicians/songwriters, we see or hear something and then turn it into a song. Buddy Holly went to see John Wayne in the "Searchers". Wayne kept on saying "that'll be the day" anytime someone challenged him. Well Holly wrote the rock n' roll classic of the same name. I actually have no desire to use someone else's voice out side of just for a joke. Previous to my experimentation with AI(limited as it were)I was wrestling with the whole fair use doctrine. In concluding music publishing has become way too restrictive, I was reminded of how music publishing actually begun. Tin Pan Alley, it was literally an organized crime racket. Their sole purpose was to monopolize music. I further concluded that really the only thing that is unique is the human voice. It's like a fingerprint or a snowflake. It's singularly unique. What is being lost in the mad rat race of competition is we actually compete against ourselves. That is to say what we create comes from within. We are sponges that leak creativity and creativity should not be en$laved, it should be encouraged.
I am at a loss for words... thank goodness so many comments here have said how I feel because I can't manage it, I found myself in tears at the end watching you both play, and of course because Bri played *that* song. I can never get through it these days without tears. Just lovely, all around.
Oh wow. Brian is one of my hero’s and I’ve loved his playing since I was a small child. You are so lucky to have the chance to interview him in his home, it’s very rare that we see anyone of his status in their home environment. What a wonderful human being Brian is, very softly spoken and genuine. Awesome video.
In so many interviews one feels like a spectator, but the joy for me with this one is how i felt i was sat at the kitchen table with them. It has a naturalness and coziness that is thoroughly enchanting.
This has to be one of the most engaging interviews I’ve ever seen but watching as the sheer joy of playing transformed her very being was almost beyond words. Pure magic.
This interview should have millions of views! He seemed to be more at ease with you than I've ever seen him be in interview, how wonderful well done Rosie!
Gods Brian May is so humble and a lovely human being! his music moved so many people around the globe including myself! his guitar sound is one of. I'm so grateful I got to take my kid to see Queen Live! excellent interview ❤❤❤ God bless you Brian and Rosie!
This is truly inspirational! Brian May is such a lovely guy. His stature and accomplishments put him in a position where he could easily be aloof, but he is nothing but open and kind, and so very human. Thanks for this fascinating interview!
Thank you Rosie, without your interview with Brian I would never have found your music. The interview is just wonderful and just shows everything about this man that's made him an inspiration in my life since I was a teenager (now 52). His passion for music, his honesty about the loneliness of being an only child, his self-doubt in the face of being widely regarded with such esteem continues to give a template on how to deal with life and even after almost 40 years of his music being in my life I still learn something new..and one of those things this time is your music which I will be diving 'headlong' into (forgive the totally intended pun).
I dont usually watch long interviews, but this one is amazing. I cant our it down Thank you Sir, Brian May, for your insight and all of the great misic youve given us. Thank yiu too, Rosie. Great, great video.
This interview brought new and amazing side of BM out that leaves me realizing that behind that amazing superstar, one of the best guitar players on earth, and a driving force behind one of the greatest bands ever, an inspiring human that is as humble as I always suspected he was. Brilliant and caring! I could sit and chat with him for hours without being the slobbering idiot fan that is so annoying! Love this!! Definitely one of the best interviews ever.
What a marvelous interview. How lucky are you to have that kind of time with one of the greats. I'm always struck by Brian's attitude about everything. He has an innocence about his curiosities. He reminds me of a child that wants to learn about everything he sees and explores things he does not know but wants to know. Just marvelous. And, I would be a fool to not mention your playing. Just, beautiful. Your song took me on a little journey. Thank you for that.
Hi Rosie, I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I have just finished it and it’s left me feeling genuinely uplifted. I am at a very low point in my life currently but, this video has made my day. I have always loved Queen and Brian’s music. To see that your heroes are the modest, intelligent and decent people you hope they are is very refreshing. All the best to you both ✌🏻
I was lucky enough to bump into Brian at Kore studios 10 years or more ago and he was simply lovely. This is as complete an interview as you will get , well done Rosie, you have a new fan.
This is hands down the best interview with Brian I have ever seen, Rosie. It was so easy to watch, your questions were unique and smart and Bri was so, so kind and honest. Loved it!
Brian is a gentleman and did so well talking to that absolutely gorgeously charming lady. As I watched it, I wondered how Roger would have dealt with her in the 70zzz annd 80zzz. hahahaa. She is lovely, Very Zen! Thanks for this Rosie. x
I`ve been using A.I. to finally put my songs out with A.I. Singer. it sounds great and perfect. Sometimes I need to tell people It`s an A.I. Database, because they compliment the singer voice quality 😄😄😄😄😅
Wonderful conversation. Thank you both for letting us in and to Brian for inviting us into his kitchen. Never thought I'd be saying that 50 years ago listening to Killer Queen in awe of these guys. Of course, I always knew they were all just people like you and me. And seeing that so clearly now is such a beautiful stage of the journey.
What a great interview! I’m glad you left the beeps, calls and camera maintenance in, makes it seem much more like a normal conversation. Thanks to you both for sharing
Brian May has always been a role model for me. Awesome guitarist and songwriter - most of my favourite Queen songs were written by him - but also super intelligent and kind to animals. I was lucky enough to talk to him in email about our mutual disdain for foxhunting, and he was lovely.
I gasped in the middle of a lecture when I found this and suffered a red face and lots of staring at but now I’m sitting here arching this and I couldn’t be happier. He is my hero and my inspiration, and this couldn’t be better.
Such a beautiful interview and dynamic. At the end where Brian stops singing and instead hums, you could see his pain in missing Freddie. He then mentions it afterwards. Really a beautiful interview.
Wonderful conversation with a Rock Legend and yet an ordinary and humble person. I just cannot understand (when he talks about his social media) who would insult and disrespect Brian May?. A man that all he’s done in his professional career as a musician is to bring joy to millions of people through his music. But there are so many individuals out there looking for attention and saying things they wouldn’t dare to say in person. Yes, don’t ever waste your time and energy on these trolls, my dear Brian. Thank you for this interview!, Rosie!. 🙏🏼🤗
In my life experience there are 2 powerful types of connection you experience, One is through conversation - where your complete attention falls on one another, the other is through music, especially playing music. This video had both! Amazing.
I have to agree with some of the comments, this is one of the best interviews with Brian I’ve seen. You obviously made him feel relaxed, he was very open and honest in answering your questions. Well done, you are a brilliant interviewer!
Thank you both for incredibly open interview. I can see so many similarities with my life experiences. And it just support my view that famous or not we all are just human beings. And by the way thank you for fantastic concert in Nagoya.
I love that Brian is kind, amazed with his life story, stunned that we are looking at the guitar he hand made , together the engine / creator of the most iconic and epic rock music / Queen . Stunning
Wow this is such a elegant interview these questions are SO GOOD most of the time interviews aren't asking the real ones. it normally goes like "So whats the music industry like, How do u write songs and riffs? Freddy Mercury? but to really deep dive into their person is great.
Rosie nice to meet you!!! And Wow what beautiful interview with the beautiful Sir Dr Bri! Honest and so approachable and real!! Truly lovely I could gush for hours!!! I find Dr Bri mesmerizing, and so humble and real and honest, I absolutely adore him! I am also an old hippie and I agree so much with what he said regarding our generations and how things are all so different …. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️🎄
Nice to meet you too! Thanks so much for listening and for your kind words about the episode, Brian is such an inspiration, so kind and gentle and he's a wonderful conversation partner, it was a joy to be there and it was a double joy to edit!
Is it me or does Brian may look fantastic for his age!
Brian will always be a hands9m kind man.
@@charliesno it’s you. He doesn’t.
He looks incredibly young.
It just looks like he lost some weight and that makes him look more like himself again.
What a Gentleman.
The thing about Brian May is that he doesn't know he is BRIAN MAY.
This is soooo true. He has always been a hero of mine and a standard with which to try and live my life.
He has said so many things that I always keep in my mind .
"Anything worth doing is worth OVER-doing"
"keep finding new places"
I love the fact that he is always soliciting her opinion as well - that, to me, belies a person who goes through life "constantly curious" God, I wish I was more like that.
Cheers Sir Brian
Oh? I'm THAT Brian May???
"It might sound pretentious or it might sound plain stupid..I dunno"

"I've never done anything consciously"

Well said!!

Oh, he knows he's Brian May. He just doesn't wave it in our faces. Plus he displays more grace and intelligence than most people have in their entire being.
Humans having a conversation, listening to each other and being curious. It’s strangely beautiful. Has it become rare?
Yes, I suppose, It's the time we live in, and the age of the internet has lots of people in tangles.
Yes it's rare these days.
we have to work hard to bring back... it's now my life mission , I'm sure i'm not the only one...
Brian has a great mind and a good heart
Such a beautiful, beautiful video. Thanks for sharing it and for such a lovely energy.

Thank you, Ms. Bennet, for such a lovely interview. I hope you’re able to continue this work as long as you wish to.
Listening to Brian humming Love of my life made me cry.

What an absolute gentleman Brian May is … their is a lot of so called stars could learn from this man’s attitude and decency.

Oh get a life mate.. @@astragreen
@@astragreenWTF are you waffling on about?? Brian’s family weren’t wealthy, shows how much you know!
@@astragreen Not worth the argument to set you straight and tell you facts about how wrong you are.
@@astragreen 🤣The standard cry of the unthinking and unknowing.
Rosie, I’ve seen DOZENS of Brian interviews, not one did Brian feel as open as he did in that interview. Cheers!
What blows me away about this interview is not just how incredible and fascinating Brian May is, but that these two people from different countries and different generations could meet and form such a friendship over their mutual love of music through the Internet. They spent some time at the beginning talking the doom and gloom of certain technologies, but here's an example of a friendship that likely wouldn't have happened even 10 years ago. It was really wonderful to watch them together.
haven't seen too many men of that level of rock this humble.
Brian is one guy I'd love to meet.
They say don't meet your hero's but something tells me Brian would surpass all expectations.
Without a doubt, this has to be one of the best interview chats he's ever done! It's refreshingly warm, deep, natural and casual. It's beautiful to see his comfortable, laid back openness (among many other things)!

When you're a good person inside, fame doesn't change you
What a Warm, Honest & Thinking human being. Brian May has won my heart. Rosie Bennett is a very conversational interviewer.
I’ve never seen Brian so open. He must have been so relaxed. This was so good.
Brian May keeps reminding us to stay humble, be grateful and just enjoy life. Such a big inspiration not just as a musician but also as a person. Thank you! ♥
You can't be humble and knighted, especially when the family who are knighting you are best friends with Jimmy Saville.
ffs@@truthseeker7794
He told me not to cut my hair.
I told him I was living in nits Hell.
@@truthseeker7794Brian IS humble though!! Don’t know why you’d bring up something totally unrelated 🙄
The members of Queen are such unique and individual personalities, each an outcast in their own way. Brian comes across as both fascinating and boring at the same time, while Freddie is unapologetically larger-than-life. Roger has a layed-back vibe, and John tends to keep to himself. It's amazing how diverse they all are!
One of the best interviews (if not THE best) with Brian that I've seen. Terrific work! You let him speak, but engaged intelligently and thoughtfully when he invited you to do so. I hope to see you do many more.
How can you NOT love Brian May, absolute legend, always humble and charming, very intelligent and he does ALOT of important work in alot of fields. Bless him❤
I appreciate you so much... 😊
This video has moved me like no other. I've not heard of Rosie prior to watching this- she is very intelligent, thoughtful and communicative as an interviewer which lead to the most insightful, honest and wholly relaxed interview I've seen with Brian. He is a Gentleman of the old school with a high emphasis on compassion and respect to all (excepting trolls which I back him 100%) and Rosie seems to be cast in the same mould- which totally delights me. Rosie your interview was a delight; as was your guitar playing. My deepest thanks and appreciation to you both.
I totally agree with you. I have never heard of Rosie before now, and I expect a lot of new great experiences on UA-cam as I subscribe to her channel. I grew up in the 70's, and a lot of the music from then is still living in my heart, so this video just hit me hard.
As a (hobby) guitar player, and a fan of Queen, I'ts a delight to se you two together, and to see how you enjoy each other playing.
This made my day.
Same here. She is the best interview host since Michael Parkinson. Asks pertinent questions then shuts up, allowing the interviewee to expostulate.
This is my favourite interview with any member of Queen so far, thank you. You have met Brian at the right time where he is able to answer your very thoughtful questions....to lead him to a safe place where he is able to reveal things about himself, his friends and his family in a non-threatening situation. What a skill you have...what a lovely, emotionally intelligent guest. Well done...bravissimo!!
So many long time Queen fans in the comments saying this is the best Brian May interview they’ve ever seen! Must be really nice to hear as an interviewer, and much deserved!
Would love to see you interview Tony Iommi at some point
Our world and us are blessed to have ever had Brian created for his living legacy and example of a loving angel he is - thank you Brian thank you universe 🎉
I am a fairly capable player myself, but if Mr. May were to even look at me-much less take out his phone to record me-I don’t think I could even tune without passing out. Well done! The two of you sharing songs like that was very moving. Thank you.
What a legend ... what a guitar player, what a songwriter, what a luvely men!
"This is where Freddie comes on." ... and I tear up. The people we lost, almost here again for a brief moment... and then gone again. Thank you both for sharing this!
This was such a refreshing interview. Brian is so down to earth and soft spoken. A true gentleman. Can listen to him speak 24/7. Love him.
What a great interview seeing Brian in different light at home in his kitchen.
Never knew his father was a Concorde engineer as my grandfather was also an engineer on Concorde
I loved listening to this ... I felt the longer I listened to his voice, the more I felt attuned to his personality..... but I do feel he is a man of hidden depths, extraoardinary compassion, with an ability to transcend the division between his soul and the world around him.
The guitar section was so precious I cried to his reaction to u playing the guitar and seeing him play love of my life❤ I’m 13 and love Queen with my whole heart. Ive been a hugeee Queen fan for 4 years now and I was so happy when I went to see Queen and Adam lambert in October and I could not contain my excitement and I cried the whole way through the concert I was so happy and grateful to experience this concert and when bri sang love of my life with Freddie it made me cry a whole lot I was still crying even after the concert. Hope you grow and get more popular!
A beautiful response. I fully relate to the crying.. I sob often to music, though some of my friends don't quite Understand it. Great to see some of the bands around when I was a kid still touching the hearts of the young. Keep shining too.
I was a Queen fan at 17- my first ever single was It's A Kind Of Magic. I'm 55 now and hindsight says that without the music of Queen life would have been so much harder to navigate - this magnificent group helped with the down times and celebrate the good times. I wish you every happiness and can assure you that in your music choice at least... you're on the right track! 😀
How cute is that! Did you pick up the guitar yourself already?
This shows how increasingly clever and wise one can get, and how young one can stay if keeping intelectually occupied👌 Dear Brian, thanks for still beeing a role model for us👍
This isn't an interview, This feels like a cuppa tea and a chat with your grandad chats.
I met Brian when our band supported him. He was so lovely, he came up to us, shook hands and introduced himself. He's great.
@ROSIE_BENNET_. Really, why?
That’s awesome! I can’t even imagine the honor
what did this comment that youre replyign to say because its deleted im dying to know this is like the pretty little liars mystery of 2011!@@JasonUmbrellabird
Can't remember...@@hermanios375
It's very impressive how well Brian comprehends and analyzes the latest and deepest developments in spite of his advanced age.
Thank you 😊
I could listen to Brian May all day long,lots of wisdom and exciting things to say ,,thanks guys 🙂
I am a longggg time fan of Queen. I have the deepest respect for Brian May. Someone who has such incredible talent and created so many wonderful songs that are a part of everyone's youth - and yet, he is so humble and gentle. Mr. May, I am here to tell you that you are enough. Not just to me, but to people all over the world. Thank you so much for your music.
What seems to start as a normal interview quickly opens up into a wonderful conversation between two individuals who are on the same intellectual and moral level. Thank you for this great post, I always felt like sitting at Brian's kitchen table with you!
What an absolute joy to be invited to eavesdrop on your gorgeous conversation together. Loved every second of it. There were no imposters in that room. And Rosie, how you managed to hold it together to play your guitar so beautifully in such intimate proximity to Brian, while he filmed you on his phone, will forever be beyond me. Just brilliant. You got yourself a new follower today.
I think I could not get through tuning being there. Kudos, Rosie.
When I read the comments saying this did not feel like an interview at all, I knew I had to have a listen for myself. Boy, were they right! This is no less than a pure, deep, warm, honest conversation between two smart and lovely people. Brian is such a well of knowledge, wisdom, and so much compassion. Thank you for doing this interview! I cannot stop listening and enjoying it. And with the added treat of such beautiful playing from you both, no less!! You've given us so, so much. What a perfect way to wrap up this whole gift of a video.
In times of growing populism, this conversation is a wonderful contrast. Thank You both.
That was such a lovely intelligent chat that makes you think. Thank you!
Thank you for listening!
Goodness! I've always thought of Brian as a gentle, kind-hearted and thoughtful man and it really comes over in this interview. This is why he's one of my favourite people in the whole world - and the world is all the richer for having him in it. How someone who has done and achieved so much can still be so self-deprecating is beyond me. Keep on rocking, you beautiful soul.
A great interview wonderfully conducted, and some sublime guitar playing from both of you at the end.
Brilliant interview with "Bri" He is a beautiful soul, so are you!
This was wonderful. I was in my teens when Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" came out.. I remember how both the song and the band had people talking... They really were sooo completely different. This interview had me feeling so many emotions, envy of Rosie's youth, the optimism that she exudes and the zest for the road ahead, plus that wonderful happy smile. I could almost feel that Brian was feeling the same way, and that he would miss her when she left. No I don't mean anything untoward.. I simply mean a reminder of how I once was full of optimism and full of hope, but also it evoked a feeling of what time I wasted on nonsense. The internet gets a bad rap at times and rightly in some cases, but it also gives lovely people like Rosie and many more young people, the platform to dispel the notion that the young are all wrapped up in themselves. "Just call me Bri" I love it.. He is a class human and not a bad guitarist either :-)
I loved watching this soo much!! Listening to Brian M is so inspirational and relatable for me. I'm in the final year of my physics degree, am likely to do a PHD but I'm having a gap in between them to pursue music and see if I can get anywhere in that. I also went to an all boys school, and have similar thoughts on them. Wildlife conservation also is something I'm passionate about. Not only that but listening to Brians thoughts an AI in music, and how artist take ideas from other artists is also something I have thought about.
As a guitarist who focuses on classical and jazz but came to them from rock, watching a classical guitarist and a rock guitarist sit down together and take bits of the others music is brilliant. Thanks Rosie and Brian :)
Not only is this a phenomenal interview, it makes me admire Brian even more AND I discovered Rosie! What an amazing treat! Thank you!
Watching this has made me feel as though I was there in the room with them. I wish! Brian really is such a beautiful spirit, through and through! I wish his life continues to interest him and offer new challenges and keep him safe. 🌈
The interviewer is just so lovely and thoughtful. It has to be refreshing for Brian to not have the same old boring questions
Ps I just got to Rosie’s playing and that was great too.
He seems to be the sweetest rock guy in the world. Great interview!
This is one of the most lovely and thoughtful interviews I have seen in some time. Thank you very much for sharing the time you spent together. I recently discovered your presence on the internet through another channel in which you presented a thoughtful biography of my favorite composer - Tarrega. It very nearly brought me to tears, especially in the last three or four minutes of that episode in which you eloquently described the sensation many of us feel when playing his music. It resonated quite deeply with me, as I have often imagined I am having an intimate conversation with him while playing, sometimes quite slowly, Lagrima, Adelita, a prelude, or even one of his etudes. Apologies for the length of this comment, but finding your channel, your music, and an interview like this is truly wonderful and inspiring. Cheers to you and Mr. May from the U.S.
My goodness - looks like his mum! Queen & Sir Brian mean so much to me. As a fan who got to see them on the Works tour & at Live Aid. Freddie, Brian & Queen are an inspiration who’ve ‘helped’ me throughout my life. I’d love to say ‘Thank you’ to Brian.
Rosie, first thank you for this video - I almost feel bad for not having to pay for watching it! I loved the spontaneous vibe of the interview, so natural, open, free... I watch lots of YT videos on multiple topics (I probably spend more time on YT than I should) and I've never seen such honest, fresh, civilized, interesting dialog. And I watched so many of Brian's interviews, but this one is BY FAR my favorite one now. Thank you again - wishing you all the best.
I think he's spot on and I'm only 9 minutes in. Terry Gilliam of Monty Python was looking through a book of painting or something and came across, Bronzino's Mannerist; An Allegory with Venus and Cupid. The thing that stood out the most in the painting to him was the foot. Yes the foot, which became a Monty Python symbol. Ironically while playing around with text to image AI I started getting the foot myself. I'm totally fascinated by text to image AI(sans the censor)and find it inspiring. I'm like a lot of musicians/songwriters, we see or hear something and then turn it into a song. Buddy Holly went to see John Wayne in the "Searchers". Wayne kept on saying "that'll be the day" anytime someone challenged him. Well Holly wrote the rock n' roll classic of the same name. I actually have no desire to use someone else's voice out side of just for a joke. Previous to my experimentation with AI(limited as it were)I was wrestling with the whole fair use doctrine. In concluding music publishing has become way too restrictive, I was reminded of how music publishing actually begun. Tin Pan Alley, it was literally an organized crime racket. Their sole purpose was to monopolize music. I further concluded that really the only thing that is unique is the human voice. It's like a fingerprint or a snowflake. It's singularly unique. What is being lost in the mad rat race of competition is we actually compete against ourselves. That is to say what we create comes from within. We are sponges that leak creativity and creativity should not be en$laved, it should be encouraged.
You started your channel with one of the best musicians of our time. Congrats!
What a lovely interview by a beautiful gentle lady and a fabulous Sir Doctor Brian May . So refreshing ...
I am at a loss for words... thank goodness so many comments here have said how I feel because I can't manage it, I found myself in tears at the end watching you both play, and of course because Bri played *that* song. I can never get through it these days without tears.
Just lovely, all around.
I appreciate you so much “
There is nothing like erudite kitchen table conversations in a calm, civilized way. A pleasure to watch and listen.
Brian May what more needs to be said. What a great interview with such an Iconic person!
Hands down, Brian May is my inspiration. What a multi-faceted, gentle, charming, & highly intelligent man.
This is probably the best interview I've seen in a long time! Very much feels like a conversation!
Hi Brian, thank you for showing so much compassion and honesty. Thank you for this excellent interview Rosie.
Oh wow. Brian is one of my hero’s and I’ve loved his playing since I was a small child. You are so lucky to have the chance to interview him in his home, it’s very rare that we see anyone of his status in their home environment. What a wonderful human being Brian is, very softly spoken and genuine. Awesome video.
In so many interviews one feels like a spectator, but the joy for me with this one is how i felt i was sat at the kitchen table with them. It has a naturalness and coziness that is thoroughly enchanting.
This has to be one of the most engaging interviews I’ve ever seen but watching as the sheer joy of playing transformed her very being was almost beyond words. Pure magic.
This interview should have millions of views! He seemed to be more at ease with you than I've ever seen him be in interview, how wonderful well done Rosie!
It's wonderful the people are finally realizing the genius of Queen
Gods Brian May is so humble and a lovely human being! his music moved so many people around the globe including myself! his guitar sound is one of. I'm so grateful I got to take my kid to see Queen Live! excellent interview ❤❤❤ God bless you Brian and Rosie!
One could try to find a more humble man than Brian... but would fail...
This is truly inspirational! Brian May is such a lovely guy. His stature and accomplishments put him in a position where he could easily be aloof, but he is nothing but open and kind, and so very human. Thanks for this fascinating interview!
What an honor to share your gift with a legendary figure. Humble and down to earth, but legendary.
Thank you Rosie, without your interview with Brian I would never have found your music. The interview is just wonderful and just shows everything about this man that's made him an inspiration in my life since I was a teenager (now 52). His passion for music, his honesty about the loneliness of being an only child, his self-doubt in the face of being widely regarded with such esteem continues to give a template on how to deal with life and even after almost 40 years of his music being in my life I still learn something new..and one of those things this time is your music which I will be diving 'headlong' into (forgive the totally intended pun).
I dont usually watch long interviews, but this one is amazing. I cant our it down Thank you Sir, Brian May, for your insight and all of the great misic youve given us. Thank yiu too, Rosie. Great, great video.
This interview brought new and amazing side of BM out that leaves me realizing that behind that amazing superstar, one of the best guitar players on earth, and a driving force behind one of the greatest bands ever, an inspiring human that is as humble as I always suspected he was. Brilliant and caring!
I could sit and chat with him for hours without being the slobbering idiot fan that is so annoying!
Love this!! Definitely one of the best interviews ever.
What a marvelous interview. How lucky are you to have that kind of time with one of the greats. I'm always struck by Brian's attitude about everything. He has an innocence about his curiosities. He reminds me of a child that wants to learn about everything he sees and explores things he does not know but wants to know. Just marvelous. And, I would be a fool to not mention your playing. Just, beautiful. Your song took me on a little journey. Thank you for that.
Hi Rosie, I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I have just finished it and it’s left me feeling genuinely uplifted. I am at a very low point in my life currently but, this video has made my day. I have always loved Queen and Brian’s music. To see that your heroes are the modest, intelligent and decent people you hope they are is very refreshing. All the best to you both ✌🏻
Wishing you strength and inspiration as you navigate through your present challenges, my friend. ❤
@@davidkyle2073 thank you for your message and kind words. It is greatly appreciated. Best wishes to you and yours also ✌🏻
I was lucky enough to bump into Brian at Kore studios 10 years or more ago and he was simply lovely.
This is as complete an interview as you will get , well done Rosie, you have a new fan.
This is hands down the best interview with Brian I have ever seen, Rosie. It was so easy to watch, your questions were unique and smart and Bri was so, so kind and honest. Loved it!
Brian is a gentleman and did so well talking to that absolutely gorgeously charming lady. As I watched it, I wondered how Roger would have dealt with her in the 70zzz annd 80zzz. hahahaa. She is lovely, Very Zen! Thanks for this Rosie. x
I`ve been using A.I. to finally put my songs out with A.I. Singer. it sounds great and perfect. Sometimes I need to tell people It`s an A.I. Database, because they compliment the singer voice quality 😄😄😄😄😅
Wonderful conversation. Thank you both for letting us in and to Brian for inviting us into his kitchen.
Never thought I'd be saying that 50 years ago listening to Killer Queen in awe of these guys. Of course, I always knew they were all just people like you and me. And seeing that so clearly now is such a beautiful stage of the journey.
What a great interview! I’m glad you left the beeps, calls and camera maintenance in, makes it seem much more like a normal conversation. Thanks to you both for sharing
Brian May has always been a role model for me. Awesome guitarist and songwriter - most of my favourite Queen songs were written by him - but also super intelligent and kind to animals. I was lucky enough to talk to him in email about our mutual disdain for foxhunting, and he was lovely.
I gasped in the middle of a lecture when I found this and suffered a red face and lots of staring at but now I’m sitting here arching this and I couldn’t be happier. He is my hero and my inspiration, and this couldn’t be better.
Such a beautiful interview and dynamic.
At the end where Brian stops singing and instead hums, you could see his pain in missing Freddie. He then mentions it afterwards.
Really a beautiful interview.
Wonderful conversation with a Rock Legend and yet an ordinary and humble person. I just cannot understand (when he talks about his social media) who would insult and disrespect Brian May?. A man that all he’s done in his professional career as a musician is to bring joy to millions of people through his music.
But there are so many individuals out there looking for attention and saying things they wouldn’t dare to say in person. Yes, don’t ever waste your time and energy on these trolls, my dear Brian.
Thank you for this interview!, Rosie!. 🙏🏼🤗
In my life experience there are 2 powerful types of connection you experience, One is through conversation - where your complete attention falls on one another, the other is through music, especially playing music. This video had both! Amazing.
I have to agree with some of the comments, this is one of the best interviews with Brian I’ve seen. You obviously made him feel relaxed, he was very open and honest in answering your questions. Well done, you are a brilliant interviewer!
Thank you both for incredibly open interview. I can see so many similarities with my life experiences. And it just support my view that famous or not we all are just human beings. And by the way thank you for fantastic concert in Nagoya.
I love that Brian is kind, amazed with his life story, stunned that we are looking at the guitar he hand made , together the engine / creator of the most iconic and epic rock music / Queen . Stunning
Wow this is such a elegant interview these questions are SO GOOD
most of the time interviews aren't asking the real ones. it normally goes like "So whats the music industry like, How do u write songs and riffs? Freddy Mercury?
but to really deep dive into their person is great.
Thank you so much :)
Rosie nice to meet you!!! And Wow what beautiful interview with the beautiful Sir Dr Bri! Honest and so approachable and real!! Truly lovely I could gush for hours!!! I find Dr Bri mesmerizing, and so humble and real and honest, I absolutely adore him! I am also an old hippie and I agree so much with what he said regarding our generations and how things are all so different …. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️🎄
Nice to meet you too! Thanks so much for listening and for your kind words about the episode, Brian is such an inspiration, so kind and gentle and he's a wonderful conversation partner, it was a joy to be there and it was a double joy to edit!
As always for this much endless love😊
Love Of My Life this is so Beautiful Thankyou Brian baci x
