More quotes by 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
There's nothing I'm embarrassed about
Brian May
Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit
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
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
Brian May
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.
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
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
In print, people can do anything to you. Everything you do is picked apart. People love it they're waiting for you to make a mistake.
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 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
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
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
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 tend to be not a person who does everything right all the time.
Brian May
I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.
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
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
Brian May
There are a lot of things in Queen albums that you don't expect that's why we threw them in
Brian May
My children hate me being such a big star. It's very hard for them to have a father who is always in the public eye.
Brian May
