@@fredsalter1915 I agree that BM was flustered, but it wasn't LP. It was Brian's inability to play interactively with another guitarist. As great as BM is, he isn't Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck, who were masterful.
Brian was having a very special moment at the time (he says at the beginning of this video that he was pretty busy but he couldn't miss the chance of playing with Les Paul), this was late March '91 and Made In Heaven was recorded between January and June 1991 in Montreux. Queen members already knew that Freddie had AIDS so they were living in the studio and Freddie would call them when he was feeling well enough saying he would be there for a couple of hours to record some voices. Yet Brian May was kind enough to go to play with Les Paul. Freddie dies in November the same year.
appreciate this background information!I'm Sure Brian May was THRILLED to play with Les Paul and wild horses couldn't keep him away. A Great MOMENT for Brian May!
Queen was also filming their videos for Innuendo at that time. It was an honor that Brian shuttled out to the big apple to play with Les. The extra tracks Queen recorded didn’t come into fruitation until Made In Heaven came out 4 years later....
@@atesdeglo28 I'm not sure that at this time the public knew that Freddie had Hiv/aids.It wasn't announced until days b4 his death. I'll give this comment and this guy the benefit of the doubt.
I would not call them underrated. I rank them second only to the Beatles as a music group. And Brian is not just one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters, but also a very accomplished singer, and has a PhD in astronomy.
Brian may. What a gifted guy. Smart. In the right place at the right time. Loving parents,father and son building the guitar that put queen on the map. The litteral stars fell upon you . Astrophysist
I'm 65. Les Paul was that guy who was light years ahead of everyone, but could make everyone feel comfortable enough to play with frickin' LES PAUL! Witty as hell, and my God could he play!
@@andrewc9719Let's not get carried away. If you listen to Brian's catalogue you will see, there was literally nothing the dude couldn't play, play live, and crush it. Les is an OG virtuoso and the same could be said of him, dude is phenomenal. Both top shelf players, no need to compare and contrast.
Les Paul knows how great Brian May and tells him at 12:46, "Just play, just play". Knowing it will be great. But yes, Brain is a little overwhelmed for a bit.
Brian May is my favourite guitarist but Les Paul just takes the piss here with his playing. What an extremely talented man, his timing is unbelievable and the speed of the guy too. I'll be listening to alot more Les Paul after watching this vid! 👍
I was there that night and I met Brian. He was sitting at our table with his Red Special when we walked in! You can hear me yelling some "Yeah"s during the performance - incredible night!!
@@RobertFairweatherMusic Yeah, he and Skunk Baxter. We were awfully lucky that night! I remember Al and Skunk coming out from a room behind where our table, with a massive waft of weed smoke hitting us after the doors opened, lol.
It's great to see 2 guys who both built their own guitars and mastered them. If you're a Brian May fan go get yourself a Red Special. They are one of the best buys for the price point.
DrRussPhd Ah ha, A man who knows music and the instruments that makes the musicians use to reach their best. I personally pray for Mr. Poulus everynight. Take care Lester and know you are loved.
Brian needs to offer his real tremolo on the production guitars and also a four coil model with two wired in series on the bridge position for an HSS configuration.
when les paul was younger, he could really shred. love seeing these vids w/him playing w/the great rock guitarists who had so much respect for his incredible talent. i miss him.
el Garee' Bee Yes, because the best measure of how good a guitar player is is having them sit there and play blues. If he'd gone straight in and done Last Horizon or Bohemian Rhapsody, LP would've had a heart attack.
I love watching these old videos of Les playing with others he always starts ribbing them letting them know "Hey I'm Les Paul'' like the one with slash. He plays with these absolute rockstars and probably sees most as just "These kids that can play" considering most of them lifestyles but Brian May is the first to show up with such a gentleman swagger. He's not trying to be cool or hip, just genuine up there and the vibe is so different. Les seems to be in such a better mood, more enjoyable instead of showing off. Brian may is so underrated. The pentacle of Rock Star Good Boy lol Thanks for the post OP keeping it alive with these old archives
People throw around the word "genius" rather loosely today ("I'm a very stable genius"). Les and Dr. May ARE geniuses! Les invented the slide potentiometer as well as multi-track recording! Dr. May helped design some of the experiments on the New Horizons spacecraft.
I think Brian is one of those guitarists who perform best when he has the basic shape of what he wants to do planned in his head, rather than soloing off the cuff like Les Paul can. That said, he's still one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. Has his own signature tone. Not many can say that!
Wow! Thanks for posting this. I was there that night with my buddy...off to the right of the stage...met Brian at the bar beforehand and had a drink together and a nice chat and afterward we took some pics. I recorded the show and until now it was the only full recording we had of the gig. Finally the full video! Awesome!
PS That's awesome that you got to meet him three times in one summer! Wow! I've met him four times total - the three after this gig were at various book signings in 1992, 2010 and 2015.
¡kamenliter, que afortunado eres! ¡el haber conocido a Brian May y haber platicado con él, el haber estado en ese espectáculo que se nota muy íntimo! ¡guauuu, que suertudo! 👍👍👍BM tiene una voz cálida, ¡me encanta!💕💕💕💕Saludos desde México
To add a bit... Again, I'm a just a rock/blues player and my sister plays Jazz as an international artist so I'm humbled every time I strap on. And growing up in Wisconsin where Les actually built his first Les Paul guitar and the studio where he developed the first 8-track, this is a perfect scenario of a rock player sitting in w/ the Master... very sweet!
11:30-11:55 I've never thought of myself as a great guitarist, but at least I now know that Brian May and I have felt the exact same sensation during a jam. My sense of empathy almost had me turning red with shame, but no, the show must go on!
When I saw Queen open for Mott the Hoople, Brian May was humble then, he spoke briefly a couple of times, and he had been sick and missed a few dates of that US tour, and was extremely thankful to have his health back.
Every Rock , Jazz , Country or whatever style of guitarist born after 1940 that doesn't claim Lester Polsfuss as the source for the way to play the electric guitar is full of it. And here is the perfect case in point. Brian May is one of a very few truly unique guitarists ever. Watch as he stops playing and watches Les do his thing...and still shredding in his late 70s ......
Yeah, u're right bro. Isaac Newton came to future as Brian May. But did u know he got 12 siblings? He is no 5th. The others is Brian January, February, March, April, June, July, August, September, October, November n December. 😝😝😝
Brian May is one of the greatest rock guitarists ever. Tony Iomi once said he was his favorite metal guitarist. Yet Brian has always been so incredibly humble. The dude is one in a million. Les Paul shredding here too. Great stuff!!
@@lillybugg5865 I do believe you are right. I only know him from Queen. I can sure go check it out tho, cos his playing, at least to me, is as recognizable as SRV, Hendrix, etc.
I had the pleasure of meeting Les before he passed, and he was the sweetest, funniest, and warmest man I've ever met. He was doing an event in Milwaukee (where I live) and he was joking about how long the plane flight was from Waukesha. :P Just so awesome.
Brian May must Look at this now that Les is over yonder and think Wow, What a great memory Two of the Greatest and Innovative Musical Forces together..❤️🌞⭐️🙏🇺🇸🏴
I think of it more of a mutual learning experience, two different players, with two different guitars, who play with two different styles, just doing what they do. Brian cites Les as his part of his inspiration in building the Red Special with his Dad. Mutual respect
Not really. Two great players from different eras and different , and one, the much older and suffering from severe arthiritis, laid the base for much of what happened after his time. It would be silly to think about a fight. Only non-guitar players would see it like this.
growing up in detroit we lived down the street from mowtown,,it was so cool , and then one night i watching PBS,,,,next thing i no it was roy clark - les paul. i was hooked ,,so i strated 2 jamm on my k - mart guitar , with a silvertone amp,,, i will never forget that day, godbless les and roy
Just for reference Bohemian Rhapsody has over 1.7 billion views on CZcams, Don't Stop Me Now 900 million views , Somebody To Love 470 Million views...Radio Ga Ga over 300 Million views...and these numbers are growing like wild and this is 40 yrs later .. .thats something no one else has achieved...let that sink in
I can watch, check that, I have been watching Les Paul videos for 7 hours now... my face hurts from smiling.. when he speaks, it’s an absolute joy! When he plays, same... what a legend!!! I’m bummed I wasn’t more musically savvy when he was alive... Although, I feel like that with so many musicians. Jerry Garcia, Frank Zappa, Johnny Cash, JERRY REED!! Omg, to have seen Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins live, man, bums me out... and I was alive and capable when they were out there... and this video, so amazing... out of all these I watch, they have a commonality, all these great guitarist are nervous af to be on stage with Les, understandably so... what a legend!
Imagine being so good at guitar the guy that invented the lespaul wants to play with you,! What an honor! I remember when les Paul passed away I was living in Florida with a girlfriend and her step dad walked in our room while I was playing my les Paul and said I didn’t know you played guitar, did you know that les Paul died?
Les Paul was an immense player. Of course Brian is going to show humility and respect in this company. But Brian May is completely unique and Queen are the greatest band in history! Thoroughly enjoying this
I think if he'd have had his sound he's use to, he would have been much better. You could tell he was struggling with the amp & had to be nervous as hell ta boot.
Get Les Paul up on stage to jam along to Queen songs and he'd struggle - this just highlights the differing musical worlds Brian and Les Paul occupied.
Richard Taylor Queen better than the Doors ? Queen better than Jimi Hendrix ? Queen better than Pink Floyd ? Queen better than the Beatles ? WoW Richad Taylor. ,, whoever you are...i better ,🤐
Les is as star struck as he was when he met Paul McCartney. Little do people realize that he wrote how high high the moon and so many other country hits from the early 40s and 50s.
Even the greatest guitar players in the world are humbled to play on stage with the legend.
Leo Fender.
That goes.for Les too.lmao
@@juana1483 Leo couldn't play guitar.
Are you referring to Brian or Les?😁🎸🎶
Indeed.
Must have been an experience for Les Paul to share the stage with Brian May...
No matter how big and famous they were they all had respect for Les Paul.
Two lovely gentlemen.😀
Love the fact that BM was respectful enough to try and match LP’s tone by toning down his amp and not blowing the pants of the audience. Very humbled as a legend in his own right. 🙏🏻
Totally agree with you. He turns down the volume and distortion and whatever pedals he uses to get his own sound.
😊😊😊😊😊
LP really had BM flustered. I guess when you're bad ass enough to have a guitar named after you.......
@@fredsalter1915 I agree that BM was flustered, but it wasn't LP. It was Brian's inability to play interactively with another guitarist. As great as BM is, he isn't Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck, who were masterful.

Brian May (as well as the rest of Queen, every last one of 'em) are underrated geniuses, truly. We love you Brian!
I would not call them underrated. I rank them second only to the Beatles as a music group.
And Brian is not just one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters, but also a very accomplished singer, and has a PhD in astronomy.
Only genius was Brian. The others were terrific rockers.
@@rogerwilco2 beatles arent very good
Not underrated lol
Best live rock band ever and I'm not a huge Queen fan, but if you watch their live stuff here in YT it's impossible to ignore
omg brians voice is so good! outstanding
vocal reminded me of George Harrison...
Beatlesque
recommend the song "She Makes Me" Queen. This is Brian singing and he wrote it.
@@morpher44 love this song

Two absolute LEGENDS play alongside each other. Fantastic to see and hear.
Playing along side each other? Perhaps. Playing together? No. It was a missed opportunity.
Two of the most iconic guitars in music history, played on stage by their legendary creators - couldn't ask for anything more epic than this.
I think Les really liked Brian's song choice, and was enjoying playing with him a lot and probably more impressed with his voice than anything else.
Les-in his sleep-could have outplayed Brian back in his prime. But he did always leave the singing to Mary (for the most part) 😂

He was talking about Brian
Brian didn’t get his schooling finished until 2007.
Jim Lee The rock Doc
Les Paul - The Wizard of Waukesha
He may not have invented the electric guitar, but he did invent multitrack recording.
Les played out in NYC every week right to the very end. God bless you Les.
Playing your heart out to the very end, don't we all wish we could go like that?
stoner...
Two great people with thier own made guitars.

This was a nice surprise. Easy blues, by two very gifted people, in a small venue, having a good time. Ahhhh!
The jazz chords fused in made it delight for my ear!
Brian has very good singing voice.

Old boy got schooled by a master and fumbled his way to the bitter end starting at 11:00. But, the first song and BM's singing were outstanding.
"What do we do now?" asks Brian May, Les Paul answers with chicken' pickin'.
Rest Players from the Past to Present

Go ahead.
Do it !!
The ball's in your court, fella.
Love lt so much ❤️
I see Brian A lot at a restaurant on the Kensington high street. What an epic human

Both players playing their own built guitar! Wow! Each has it's own distinctive tones!
Les' guitar is far from hand built. You can buy a thousand of those a day around the world. I don't think May takes his original out any longer.
To the left of the screen is Brian May, from the rock band Queen. He is playing guitar. He is famous.
The Ymid AHAHAHA WHY TF WOULD YOU TELL US THAT. Anyone watching this would know lol
I didn't know that.
The Ymid What kind of guitar is the other guy playing?
irishguy13 ...a Les Paul?

Les Paul's technical prowess shows a divine match with the great Brian May.. WOW.
Brian May and his Dad made his guitar themselves, amazing story.
Made from an old mantle and I think a boat
You related to Link Wray? Great guitar player wy back in the day.

Great
Awesome !!
Brian May must Look at this now that Les is over yonder and think Wow, What a great memory Two of the Greatest and Innovative Musical Forces together..❤️🌞⭐️🙏🇺🇸🏴
finally some respect someone playing some straight forward blues instead of shredding all about good on ya Brian.
Yes, it's nice Brian let Les shred instead.
Yes. Let him..... lol
Whoa, Les' playing comes alive in the second jam!!!!
Les and Brian should have gone on the road. This was amazing. Ty
LP can play circles around all these rock guitarists .
Brian stepped in with a master of Jazz, and definitely held his own!
Les Paul I never knew! I'm a late bloomer! I knew he played guitar and of course he created the Les Paul, but the humor and the talent! Amazing!
Mr May..one of the greatest ever...taught a lesson. Im lost for words😖
It's like a polite knife fight.
Indeed. Excellent description!
Great way to put it!
I think of it more of a mutual learning experience, two different players, with two different guitars, who play with two different styles, just doing what they do. Brian cites Les as his part of his inspiration in building the Red Special with his Dad. Mutual respect
Yep. Otherwise they'd both get bored.
Not really. Two great players from different eras and different , and one, the much older and suffering from severe arthiritis, laid the base for much of what happened after his time. It would be silly to think about a fight. Only non-guitar players would see it like this.
Well this is a treasure! Glad I found it and thx for posting!
Hey you youngsters. If there was no Les Paul there would be no Queen!
growing up in detroit we lived down the street from mowtown,,it was so cool , and then one night i watching PBS,,,,next thing i no it was roy clark - les paul. i was hooked ,,so i strated 2 jamm on my k - mart guitar , with a silvertone amp,,, i will never forget that day, godbless les and roy

so much fun to watch ..les paul showing why he is who he is.. and Brian May being humble complimentary and classy.
Les was still playing great at an age where I can only hope to be alive, much less fret a note, or even hold a guitar
Hands like boiled lobsters and still rocks a tune!! Les Paul, the legend!
Boiled lobsters! Omg, that's hilarious. I think his fingers were a bit more agile than that.

My hats of to anyone who would sit in with Les Paul. Steve Howe had Les just floored with how good he was.
I saw that. Honestly, I thought Steve Howe sounded more like Les Paul than Les Paul himself. Howe is a phenomenal player, obviously.
Imagine being so good at guitar the guy that invented the lespaul wants to play with you,! What an honor! I remember when les Paul passed away I was living in Florida with a girlfriend and her step dad walked in our room while I was playing my les Paul and said I didn’t know you played guitar, did you know that les Paul died?
“If you see me crying’, babe don’t you think I’m drunk; cuz I got one eye on my pistol, and the other on your trunk” 😂😂😂😂😂
Brian is very underated !!!!
Who would give this a thumbs down? This is our history!
Les' first solo sounded great
Les Paul was an immense player. Of course Brian is going to show humility and respect in this company. But Brian May is completely unique and Queen are the greatest band in history! Thoroughly enjoying this
I think if he'd have had his sound he's use to, he would have been much better. You could tell he was struggling with the amp & had to be nervous as hell ta boot.
Get Les Paul up on stage to jam along to Queen songs and he'd struggle - this just highlights the differing musical worlds Brian and Les Paul occupied.
Not in his prime!
it's jet lag just got off the plane
Richard Taylor Queen better than the Doors ? Queen better than Jimi Hendrix ? Queen better than Pink Floyd ? Queen better than the Beatles ? WoW Richad Taylor. ,, whoever you are...i better ,🤐
may is like Marty mcfly playing with Marvin Berry's band
Les Paul: turn that mother up
A true guitar hero cemented in history by his words.
Les is as star struck as he was when he met Paul McCartney. Little do people realize that he wrote how high high the moon and so many other country hits from the early 40s and 50s.
