Calling all Queen/Brian May fans?

Question

MQ: Your finest moment featuring Brian May (Live Show, Video, Music, Song, Solo, Riff, Story, etc)?
BQ1: A Song written by Brian May?
Trivia Q: How did Brian May come up with the riff at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody?

Answer 1

YAY a Brian question :-D



MQ - He was amazing at Wembley. I love the guitar solos where Freddie is practically rubbing up against him :-P

BQ 1 - Who Wants To Live Forever - Gorgeous song. Some of my favourite ever Queen lyrics;

"Touch my tears, with your lips

Touch my world, with your fingertips"

Trivia Q - I think he just wanted to come up with something that was at odds with the main melody. Brian has said before that one of the worse things a guitar solo can be is predictable.



Loved this question :-)



Edit;

I am ridiculously jealous of the guy on top of me. Seriously, if I'd met Brian, I probably would have full on kissed him, then made him sign all the papers he dropped. Haha.

Answer 2

Live aid and "Is this the world we crated" A solo with Freddie and Brian played the Guitar.

I don't' know the other answers... Oh love your new avatar..

Answer 3

MQ= In the early 90s, me & a friend went to Alabama to see Brian May & Guns N Roses. We were staying at the same hotel as Brian and all as it was connected to the Civic Center they were playing at. Anyways, me and my friend are leaving the front desk and heading out the door and I realize the clerk forgot to give me my room key. Then I saw the keycard (they were new and i'd never seen one before). So while I'm tripping out over the key being like a credit card, I'm not paying attention as I'm going out the door of the hotel and bump into Brian May. Literally, knocking all his 'papers' out of his hand. He bent down to pick them up as there was a slight breeze. I, of course, helped and handed him some papers and all I could say was "I'm sorry"... and I kept walking with my friend who was laughing at me, uncontrollably. It had happened so quickly, I didn't even realize who it was I'd bumped into. Then I look and see who it was as Brian was still standing there trying to get all his papers in order. He was laughing too by the way. But I was so embarrassed I was afraid to go up and talk to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



BQ1= I LOVE LOVE LOVE his SCORE to the movie 'Mad Max'! Awesome!



Trivia Q: I'm stumped :(



:)

Answer 4

Hey Thinker!!



MA: I think he was fantastic at Wembly at the 1986 "Magic" tour. He just seemed so comfortable, and played great. (There you go Poppy, you beat me to this one!!!)



BA1: We Will Rock You. He is most proud about this one, I think.



Trivia: Freddie wrote that riff right? He played it on piano what he wanted Brian to create with the guitar, and that is what they got.

Answer 5

Bohemian Rhapsody solo is amazing, and also check out Somebody To Love. He wrote the song '39, which is from the album A Night At The Opera.

Answer 6

Live Aid
