More quotes by 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
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.
Brian May
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.

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 don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.
Brian May
I had this idea... I wanted the sound to sing and have that thickness but yet still have an edge so that it could articulate. So my dad and I designed the guitar... the one that was made from an old fireplace.
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
Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do
Brian May
There's nothing I'm embarrassed about
Brian May
I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.
Brian May
Queen had its time and place, and at the moment I'm not concentrating on that era.
Brian May
The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.
Brian May
Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit
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
I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.
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
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
Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.
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
