since my life has been consisting exclusively of queen crack videos recently, i noticed that there are WAY too few of these brian-may-cute-moments-edits on youtube. so here's mine. i hope u enjoy !
thanks, I've been totally in love with Brian since age 15 - sadly, that did not work out for me.. but love, even unrequited, is still love, right? I admire him even more today... lol
Little did Brian know when he made this video sometime in 1983 demonstrating the uses of the delay pedal and so on that Queen's greatest success was still yet to come. I play and have played for more than 3 and a half decades but I still dig Brian's own unique touch in the way he plays.
Hi all, I sometimes get the feeling that Brian was the butt of Freddie’s humour..it seems ( to me ) that he didn’t care too much for Brian...was that part of the act, Freddie taking Brian’s guitar then throwing it...why do I always feel sad for Brian in the early days....sorry for my ranting...🌟⚡️
I’d say you’re looking too much into it. Brian and Freddie had a great friendship and Freddie cared a great deal about him. Remember they used to spend the most time in studios together and they were the “leaders” of the group being the oldest - Brian being the spokesperson and diplomat, Freddie being the frontman. They were the only pair that churned out matching pairs of songs - Fat Bottomed Girls + Bicycle Race, WATC + WWRY, The March of the Black Queen + White Queen (As It Began). Even the entire Queen II album with its Side White and Side Black shows a dichotomy of Brian and Freddie’s songwriting. Don’t forget the matching outfits and nails especially in the early days. Freddie had a very particular sense of humour and on the surface it might sound like he’s making fun of you, but it’s all in good fun. He has called Brian “his Jimi Hendrix”, saying that he’s the greatest guitar technician in the world. Freddie wrote Soul Brother dedicating it to Brian and he once made a mixtape of all of Brian’s guitar solos and gifted it to him saying “this is how I hear you” in the Hot Space era in which Brian felt very underappreciated and inadequate. In 1974, when Brian got hepatitis and gangrene and had to be hospitalized, Freddie would visit him and make him laugh with the boys. When he presented Killer Queen to a sick Brian, Brian said it was too abrasive and needed to have a more rounded sound; Freddie said to him, “You’re absolutely right, dear. We’ll wait for you to get better so you can add in your bits.” In the 1974 Live at the Rainbow recording, Freddie also welcomed Brian back saying “it’s really nice to have him back, he hasn’t joined anybody else” very relieved. Brian and Freddie wrote It’s A Hard Life together and they spent hours in the night talking to each other about their views on relationships and shared their troubles. That’s how they connected primarily: through music. Even when Freddie was dying and Brian was afraid to go ahead with his solo album when his friend was suffering, Freddie reassured him and told him to go for it, since it would be the best publicity he could get. For Brian’s solo debut single Driven By You, he asked Freddie if he wanted to sing it and Freddie said, “No no no, darling. You sing it perfectly well. Just get on with it. Look, I know you‘re hesitating about this because of what’s going on. But go for it. You’ve got your career ahead of you. Don‘t let what‘s happening here stand in your way. Put it out. I’ll get on with your solo career.”
@@gfhkkhfg6905 you have a lot of knowledge which I acknowledge …it is very interesting …Brian had a very insecure look at the beginning, I think Roger goaded him the most…🙏🏻
Thanks for uploading! If you have a second, we posted a cover of Eddie Van Halen. As fellow music lovers, we'd love if you would check it out. It's on our page. Don't be too tough on us :)
