    Brian May is a man of many talents but his guitar work with Queen is simply awesome. I didn’t know until very recently watching Queen’s live performance of “Save Me” in Montreal that Brian can play the piano also. Musical genius!

  • @Fuzcapp
    @Fuzcapp 5 місяців тому +2

    Interesting that Brian says, "I regard the guitar as a voice" because I have heard it said, that Brian's solos actually have breath-breaks. In other words, you can actually sing them, because they are phrased with moments in them for a human vocalist to actually breathe.

    Just listen to how his voice still sounds like that of a young man. He could still sing Some day one day, casually, dishing out the same juvenile vocal freshness... or something very very close to it. I am astonished.

    Love your music! Being married to a pro musician (deceased-cancer) for 30 plus years, I know grand music when I hear it, and yours is grand. Our two sons are also accomplished musicians so again your music gets an A plus from them. I’m a writer/school teacher so I notice a gifted writer when I see his/her words and yours is awesome. I didn’t start listening to Queen until just a few months ago because I am a late bloomer (six children) and started college and graduated. It wasn’t easy with a husband on tour during that time and having my sixth child a couple of months before I graduated. I am going for my doctorate and writing my desertation on Queen so I read a lot on you all. The reason I am just getting acquainted with your music and Queen is because I was studying nonstop. So, am so glad that I discovered the music of Queen. With that and your album I am pretty much into the music. I am sorry for writing so much, but that’s what I do…write. Thank you all for giving me such an interesting subject to write about. “Better late than never.” right?

    A soul untouched by the narsassistic effects of the entertainment industry .

    I squeeled with glee with he said his favorite of his solo work is Resurrection. It is my favorite of his works as well. It is indeed a pep talk, a way to rev you up and keep you going. And funny about the portrayal of him in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. When I saw that movie my reaction was “That guy Brian Mays more than Brian May Brian Mays” lol
