More quotes by Brian May
I'm hopeless at playing scales. Try and be instinctive first and analytic afterwords, although it's good to study the theory of music.
Brian May
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
Brian May
In print, people can do anything to you. Everything you do is picked apart. People love it they're waiting for you to make a mistake.
Brian May
I've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now.
Brian May
I like to go for a walk or swimming or in the garden when I can. It's a busy kind of life, but I guess I'm lucky.
Brian May
I spent 20 years of my life building up Queen, and now Im spending years of my life trying to get away from it.
Brian May
I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.

There is no way that you can ever really repeat something. I have this great belief that the magic of the moment can never be recaptured.
Brian May
Not for a million - years. I mean, I like the INXS boys, but I found the process very degrading, really. Reality television has eaten away at our standards of excellence. I don't like this whole culture, which has evolved, of TV being the king.

Brian May
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
Brian May
My mum says I wanted to be a surgeon, but I don't remember that. I think from the time I knew what was happening, I wanted to be a guitar player.
Brian May
My big hobby is photography. I collect stereo photographs from the 19th century.
Brian May
I had this idea... I wanted the sound to sing and have that thickness but yet still have an edge so that it could articulate. So my dad and I designed the guitar... the one that was made from an old fireplace.
Brian May
I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.
Brian May
I'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?
Brian May
I think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous.
Brian May
People have been rumouring that Queen are going to split up for the last eight years at least. I've got some great cuttings at home from people saying 'One thing is certain, Queen will no longer exist in a year's time.' And that was in 1973.
Brian May
The potential audience seems to be dwindling in the states. I was kind of embarrassed for the band because of the size of the audience.
Brian May
Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do
