More quotes by 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
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
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
Brian May
When I'm gone, people will no doubt remember me for Queen, but I would much rather be remembered for attempting to change the way we treat our fellow creatures.
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 guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
Brian May
There are times when I flick through magazines and think I'm in danger of becoming a prisoner of my own hair.
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
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
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
What is left of your dream? Just the words on your stone. A man who learned how to teach then forgot how to learn.
Brian May
I have to build my own boat this time. It's a big sea out there, and I have a pretty small boat. I have a lot of belief in it.
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 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
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
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
The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.
Brian May
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.
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 Hammer's very cool: he has a great voice and great presence.
Brian May
