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 think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous.
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
Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit
Brian May
I'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?
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
There's nothing I'm embarrassed about
