    This was their first Top 40 hit in the US, in 1974. A year later, "Bohemian Rhapsody" came out, and the rest is history. I recommend "You're My Best Friend" for your next one. For your next Meat Loaf song, I recommend "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)".

It was winter (freezing cold and raining constantly) and the only place we could get it together was at the home she shared with her parents and brothers.

    “The Red Special" as Brian May's guitar is called or sometimes “The Fireplace.” That’s the guitar that Brian May (guitarist of Queen and physics researcher) began building with his father circa 1963, when Brian was about 16 years old. Lacking money but not ingenuity, the father-son team built the guitar using materials found around the home. The neck of the guitar was fashioned from an 18th-century fireplace mantel, the inlays on the neck from a mother-of-pearl button. For the body, they used wood from an old oak table. Then the bricoleurs combined a bike saddlebag holder, a plastic knitting needle tip, and motorbike valve springs to create a tremolo arm. He still plays it as of last night at the Queen + Adam Lambert concert in Belfast Ireland.

      Appreciate you detailing that. To my ears, that sound is completely Brian's own. I know no one had ever sounded like that before, and I don't think anyone ever really has since. Possibly even guitarists inspired by him still sort of steered clear of copying him too much, just because it is immediately identifiable.

    and
    White Queen - Live at Hammersmith.
    Two stunning songs in two quite different ways, Freddie in sensual/romantic mood in the first, alone on piano, shushing a rowdy crowd at a free concert, then holding them spellbound for a few magical minutes. In the second, he puts it all out there in a song about unrequited/unnoticed love written by Brian which includes a mind blowing instrumental section, starring Freddie and Brian on duelling piano and lead guitar.

As for what's next, you could pick just about anything and it will be so different than what you've heard before. If you really want to go deep into what Brian is capable of as a guitarist, check out "Good Company." He plays an entire dixieland jazz band with his guitar. Truly amazing!

    If you really want your mind totally blown by Queen and Freddie, I recommend watching their entire Live Aid performance from 1985 (6 songs, 22 minutes). It shows why Freddie is arguably the best frontman of all time. He plays the audience like they are his instrument. I was 15 at the time, and it blew me away.
