Members SDshirtman Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 Brian May, a member of one of the biggest rock acts ever to grace the planet rocked out one of the most well know rock anthems on a guitar he built with his own hands to an audience of over half a billion at 65 years old. I think thats pretty {censored}ing awesome. Whats not to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brokenfixed Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 To the OP: That Classic Albums Documentary for "A Night at the Opera" was pretty interesting to watch. I was never much of a Queen fan myself, but I considered Brian May to be a genius after watching it. They break down the tracks for Seaside Rendezvous where he emulates all these marching band instruments with the guitar. Its pretty {censored}ing nuts. The song kinda sucks though.

Members 100 watt Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 Brian may..great player. Great tones. Awesome guy. He also did the score on the movie The Road Warrior. One of my favorite movie scores ever. My best playing & best sounds wouldnt even make a pimple on Bran May's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evets618 Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 I guess not everyone can be a gnat-note shredder.But if a unique and instantly recognizable voice, gift for melody, and tasty placement of the right note at the right time matters, then Brian May is purty durn good.For an old dood.

Members Reaganomics! Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 he made his own guitar from a piece of scrap wood from a tree that fell when lightning struck it. he later went on to win the world series using it, and later was in queen. hes an ok dude. case closed. Umpires {censored}ing stole that game. I swear the strike zone was half as big when he was at bat. Also, that guitar is like 10 times wider than a regular bat so he hit pretty much everything.

Members tedmich Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 NOT a big Queen fan, but Brian May has always been very cool, made his fav guitar and played it his whole career, has an exceptionally distinctive sound and very committed to music and its power to uplift and heal . A super bright guy, went back and got his Ph.D. and by all accounts a super nice fellow as well! Now Angus, he just sucks IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jnepo1 Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 To all the Queen haters on this thread, Let me know when you hit it big like they did. Or become a famous, well respected guitarist like Brian May. So I or someone can start a thread about your mediocre music and guitar playing. Until then, STFU!

We're the consumers, if we can do it ourselves doesn't have anything to do with if we like it or not. Is there any particular car manufacturer you have been disappointed with?

Members Folky_Grunge Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 Brian May is one of a few players, along with people like Pete Townshend and The Edge, that I'm a bigger fan of than the band he was in. I'm kind of just a casual fan of Queen, but I think May's playing is spectacular. It's very different from the blues-rock wankery that everyone else was doing at the time (and that you can still hear a lot), and is very interesting. It's also always tasteful, which is something plenty of other guitar heroes tend to fail at from time to time. He also plays a guitar he built himself and has great, distinctive tone.

Members Trick Fall Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 That's amazing to me... I'm sure there's tons of stuff I go crazy over that would be uninteresting to you and others. I just personally never connected with them. I mean I can objectively listen to them and think they are talented guys and I can get why people would enjoy them, but they leave me cold.
