More quotes by 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
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
The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.
Brian May
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
Brian May
There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.
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

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
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
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
For a time I didn't want to answer any questions about Queen. I'd like to be viewed as something alive and relevant, not some fossil.
Brian May
Doing Made In Heaven was like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, but I wouldn't have put my seal of approval on it if I hadn't thought it was up to standard.
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 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 tend to be not a person who does everything right all the time.
Brian May
I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid.
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
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place.
Brian May
Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star - they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much. We're very lucky that they seemingly connect with every generation.
Brian May
