    The big thing i like about Rick, he he knows how to shut up. He asks a great question, and then listens to the answer. not talking over the top of the interviewee. Has to be one of the best interviews I've listened too. Thank you very much for this

    Can you imagine Brian May telling you he watches all your UA-cam stuff? We've all been singing your praises for a long time, Rick, but that's gotta be one of the most affirming moments in your life. Couldn't agree with Brian more!

    I met Brian and John Deacon when I was 12 years old in 1984 outside The Gresham Hotel in Dublin after seeing them in concert. They were both such gentlemen it was amazing. I told Brian I was learning guitar and Brian shook my hand and genuinely said "Nice to meet you Jimmy. The world needs more guitar players" 39 years later I remember that moment so well 💚

    I met Dr. May in a completely non-musical related way. He was in an astrophysics conference and I was in a molecular biology meeting on the same site and we just met in the lobby. We spoke about computational applications and he is just amazingly nice, humble and approachable.

    There's a saying in Persian; the tree that has the most fruits stays closer to the ground! Dude is one of biggest rockstars who ever walked on earth, made arguably the biggest hit song of the century but still down to earth and warm! Man is the definition of class!

    Rick, I am Leslie West's brother. He passed two years ago and would have been 77 this October 22nd. Les asked Brian to play on one of his last albums called Unusual Suspects. Brian couldn't have been more gracious and generous. I loved this interview.

    To see such an iconic musician that gets along down the road of time and have such lack of ego, honesty and grace is just so very nice to see.

    It was kind of funny when Brian said "Roger Taylor, legendary drummer from Cornwall." That was a long time Queen joke. In the early days when Queen were trying to make a name for themselves, Roger created a poster that said "Legendary Drummer from Cornwall" as part of the advertisement. The other three laughed at that for the rest of their lives!

    Can you imagine that Brian May actually watches and enjoys your work and actually says he learns from your videos. The first few comments he made must have you pinching yourself. As I've said many times before, you are one of the most influential Music Teachers and Educators on the Planet. That's truly incredible, and the best thing you've ever done for music and musical education was starting your UA-cam Channel. You really are the Professor of Rock and Contemporary Modern Music. Thank You Rick.

    My mom was a gospel singer on the radio in the 50s. Queen was the only rock band she enjoyed. She was so appreciative of their talent. She used to sing along with Freddy on the verse of Bohemian Rhapsody. It always reminds me of her and brings a tear to my eye.

    When I was 15 me and my sister won a competition to see Queen at Maine Road stadium in Manchester, and to meet them afterwards. I was learning guitar at the time and I asked Brian if he could give me any advice. He said, “well the only thing I can say is listen to as many different types of music as you possibly can”. Best advice ever.

    I love how humble Brian May is. I mean, he has literally influenced millions of people. The impact of his talent is monumental yet he remains souch a nice bloke.

    When Brian May tells you you're good, you know there's nothing else you can achieve in life

  • @hensmom6473

    Brian May is a fabulous guitarist and he has land in Dorset UK where he planted the first of 100,000 trees to create new forests and habitats for birds & nature. THANK YOU Brian May❣️

  • @PlasticAstronaut

    Brian May seems like one of the kindest, most sincere guys walking the earth. Zero “swelled head” or celebrity entitlement. Nice to see.

    "it's 3AM and I check out what Rick's been doing and an hour later I'm still strolling through your stuff".. well at least I got one thing in common with this legend 🤣

    You can tell Brian really enjoys answering questions he hasn't been asked a million times.

    Brian May is so charming. Sharing the story of the tuning issue on the end of Rhapsody on Rick’s show was just gold. This interview mist’ve made Rick’s day/week/year.

    It’s crazy how humble Brian is, the guy is an absolute genius! You can tell that the success didn’t get to his head at all.
