A good video can make all the difference
Brian May
I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.
Brian May
I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.

Brian May
My big hobby is photography. I collect stereo photographs from the 19th century.
Brian May
It's wonderful for me to see what 'We Will Rock You' has done. 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' have kind of transcended the normal framework of where music is listened to and appreciated - they've become part of public life, which I feel wonderful about.
Brian May
I'd put a lot of work into playing guitar and was thinking I was pretty damn good. But Hendrix came along and destroyed everyone.
Brian May
You want to go in the steam bath to get your vocals sounding well, but you don't want your fingers to get soft.
Brian May
From the beginning of Queen there was such momentum that I never had any time to do anything else. My energy was 95% focused on the band
Brian May
I think Hammer's very cool: he has a great voice and great presence.
Brian May
I like a big neck – thick, flat and wide. I lacquered the fingerboard with Rustin's Plastic Coating. The tremolo is interesting in that the arm's made from an old bicycle saddle bag carrier, the knob at the end's off a knitting needle and the springs are valve springs from an old motorbike.
Brian May
I'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?
Brian May
