More quotes by 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
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.
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
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
Brian May
I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.
Brian May
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place.
Brian May
I think music is about our internal life. It’s part of the way people touch each other. That’s very precious to me. And astronomy is, in a sense, the very opposite thing. Instead of looking inwards, you are looking out, to things beyond our grasp.
Brian May
Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit
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'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
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
I think a lot of people would be better off in America, where at least you would find some radio station somewhere that would play you.
Brian May
