- Queen guitarist Brian May joins Tom Newton Dunn on Personality Politics.
Speaking about his upbringing, Dr May said his parents were conservative but "they did not make a big deal about it".
He also said his father became very disappointed later in life "because he never reached his potential", though the Queen guitarist tells Times Radio that everything he achieved in life had been because of his father's support.

Such a fascinating guy. The more I learn about him the more impressed I am.
I know ! I have followed Queen since the 70’s and I find out something new about Brian ❤️❤️
Awww thank you eminence, how long have you been a fan and where do you live?
Indeed.
@@brianmay6212 you're a fake
Brian May is easy to define: He's a lovely man, amazing guitar player and animal defender.
Song writer, stereoscopic photographer, astronomer, philosopher, philanthropist etc. Not so easy to define.😊
Thanks for having me, just a lonely and loving live we live in, how long have you been a fan?
I would just love to meet this man, have lunch and just chat.
Perfecto gracias!
@@brianmay6212 Brian, I am a blues rocker who, like you, built my own instruments, then heard the sound track from "Highlander" & was gobsmacked, been a fan every since.
What the world needs now is more Brian Mays. Lovely man. 😊
What a sweet man ! I like his attitude and the way he behaves .. Not spoilt with fame and money (which he really deserved and earned honestly!) It's a rare thing nowadays. God bless you, Dr May ❤
You too.
@@brianmay6212 Why are you trying to fake Brian?
@@Naltrex Your attitude choke?
And he's an absolute Genius! Brainy is Sexy!😉
This man is a legend!
Her Majesty. Long live between ever made it to front roll of my show before, Your sayings dozing me off. 🌹
The ONLY band with four equals.Missing Freddie and John,I have been there since the college gigs of 1971.Great to see him keeping the legacy alive,Bri is simply one of the most inspiring humans in history. I suffer from bi polar and if I get an episode I trawl through my vast Queen collection,put on a show,and all is right with the world.And that is what Freddie was all about x
Brian May You are a wonderful example of how we should all act towards one another you are such a wonderful humble human being. You have not let fame get to you.
I respect your position on politics and admire your love of justice. In fact, there are so many reasons you hold the greatest of my esteem. Bless you Brian. I look forward to the day you vision becomes the world's reality. ❤️
Ain’t dreaming anymore, unending goosebumps , ever made it to front roll of any of my concert before?
What a sweet gentle soul and a fantastic guitarist Just love listening to him
Brian May continues to amaze, not just musically but in all the other aspects of his life, animal activist, astrophysicist and humanist. Amazing individual.
I could listen to Brian May speak for hours. His voice is so soothing and pleasant.
Thank you so much for the love and support, That words are kind and gladdens my heart, how long have you been a fan?
Great interview, I love all that Brian said here. Such a great and inspiring person!

Brain May the loveliest person I wish I could ever meet,Brian May made my favourite song Who wants to live forever.🥰🥰
I’ll wait and have all the best of things of life forever, this year is a testimonial year for us.
I COULD CRY HEARING BRIAN MAY SPEAK UP FOR ANIMALS, LIKE HE DOES IT'S FANTASTIC 👍💕💕
🌹🌹
What a beautiful interview. Brian is so honest about his answers & gives great information so we can understand what they are talking about.
A compelling interview. Brian May is so very insightful and I admire him immensely. His views on voting and animal rights are interesting , so refreshing and reflect his passions.
„My party is decency.“
What a Great statement 🥰
Agree. This is exactly why I supported Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020. He was the most decent out of them all!
Such a calming voice.
That gladdens my heart, have we meet&greet before, btw ever made it to front roll of my concert?
It would be great if Brian read an audio book - imaging his soothing voice reading something like a novel. I love hearing him talk.
@@ShanesQueenSite i totally agree. I would listen all day long.
So inspiring thanks Dr May - brilliant musician, scientist and thinker
Love his work and his support of animal life. We need more Brian Mays!
Thanks fir the love and support for my music and career. May God continue to bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awe I find it cute how Brian is when he wears the headphones yet his voice is so soft to fall asleep to
I'd love for him to do narrations or audio books.
@@AnnieWarbux Excellent idea!

Also, you and the red special are perfect to me.

@@michelelavasseur2308 God bless you too, how long have you been a fan ?
@@brianmay721 since 1981. I have however become more of a fan of you and your position with ethical treatment of animals and justice over the past few years. Not that i didn't share the same values as yourself sir, but that i learned more of your fight against injustices. I haven't spent much time on line up until recent. Work and home, my work with feral cats and my domestic animals keep me busy.

Thanks for the love and support, where do you live and how long have you been a fan?
I love Brian’s political views. He sounds thoughtful and articulate. A smart and talented person. Decency should be spread around here in the USA too. We’ve had some terrifying moments a few years ago. I hope we can go into the future helping the poor, all creatures, and making the Uber rich pay taxes.
Yo votaria por Brian May. Mientras conozco mas de él, mas identificada me siento con su forma de pensar. Eres grande Brian. God Bless you.
Well said Brian. Good man.
Thank you for the heads up, God bless you.
Brian May is a very wise man.
interesting discussion and Brian openly shares a lot of info here.
Thank you for having me, anywhere you want to go bmaymusic235@gmail.com, I’m falling in love with you.
I admire your views animal rights and this discussion.
Love you Brian... Queen, Freddie...big fan. Deanne
Love you too. Ever made it to any of my concert?
What a smart and lovely human
Great interview!
Thanks for the love and support, how long have you been a fan?
The interviewer was either driven by a corporate sponsored agenda or incapable of thinking outside 'outside the box' in dealing with Brian's non party affiliated political beliefs. Brian May was very patient in having to continually steer the interview away from from 'party politics' and the interviewer's obvious Tory bent. He showed that passion in decency and intelligent thinking is not party driven whichever side of the political divide. I know who I'd vote for!
Bri jste cisty krasny nezkazeny nesmrtelny andel a legenda na kterou se nezapomina miluju vas ❤❤❤️✨✨✨💯💯💯🥰🥰🥰
If you only knew how many knights you and the rest of Queen kept me from self-harm. Brian, I owe you so much. You’re still my number one, go-to band. I hope you believe the incredible music tag of “you’re the best band in the world”. You have that ZING and I love it Sir. I can’t imaging telling some new friends “my dad’s in Queen”. I think I’m getting nauseous 😉. You are so beautiful. God bless you and hope to meet you on the other side.
Thank you so much Victoria if I’m right and for the kind words, support and unconditional love you showing me... what are your plans for Queen as it clear for us this 2021 besides how long have you been a fan?
As a 70;s+ R+B guitar player myself I always thought he was the the classiest player I'd ever seen, yes I recognized that the whole band were superb musicians and singers but I still remember hearing hearing his brilliant 40-50s influenced "clarinet/alto sax " sounding riffs as a breath of fresh air. Funny that my dad was pretty mean old school (Glen Miller etc.) sax player who thought that Elvis & Buddy Holly were rubbish.
Thank you for the love and support, Much love 💕
Thanks for "The show must go on" Brian May. This is the greatest creation. P.S- Freddie Mercury The Best,no one will replace him...
We should all be so open minded and maybe there would be less division Like his thoughts on political issues
Wonderful man.
Thank you so much for the love and affection.
Hermosooooo señor brian may!Te queremos muchooooo
Dr Brian May for President of the USA 🇺🇸 please 🙏. Or better yet the whole world 🌎 🥰👑🎼
I love Brian

I love you too.
What an absolute gentle man....
Smiles, thank you so much, where do you live and how long have you been a fan ?
I agree that anyone who bases their political beliefs on a hard party line is never being true to themselves. I would not ever describe myself as a one issue voter, in that I may vote for someone who represents me in most ways but not in one specific way as I don't expect to agree with anyone on everything no matter who they are. There would still be some issues that are very important to me and I might go with someone who does not represent me as much as someone else in some ways, if they do agree with me on a topic that I am passionate about. Apolitical is a good place to be. I don't know how voting is handled in the UK, but here in the USA, we can register as "Decline To State" and not have to actually choose a party affiliation at all.
Definitely and that is how it’s should as I believe in freedom of speech, Ever made it to front roll of any of my concert before?
@@brianmay6212 Never front row and I only got to see you once and that was with Queen at the Forum in Los Angeles in either the 70s or early 80s. Great show! I had the time of my life.

Great guy still Brian. Merry Christmas
It’s clear this 2021, thank you for the love and support.
Podrias traducir en español, se agradecería mucho. Alguién puede??
Such a lovely man, and so right about Brexit.
Thank God we still have celebrities who remain apolitical and don't lavishly declare their political affiliations.
Thank you so much for the love and support to my career, where do you live ?
@@brianmay6212 So you aren't Brian May from Queen ? How sad !
Shit he’s in Surrey! I’d love to meet and talk for hours. What an amazing man.
Yes in Windlesham.Had the pleasure of meeting him a few times,I politely said hello ,he was so chatty.First in 1989 in a Camberley arcade with his son Jimmy..he was eating a bag of beef crisps! Remembered a sad look when I asked when they would tour again,Bri is a sensitive guy and he couldn't hide it.I knew then about Freddie,never told a soul.
If your nice to animals you'll be nice to everyone and everything.
FORGOT TO MENTION HIS GUITAR PLAYING ONE COMMENT GREAT
You have pressed caps lock. It does not impress anyone to write all uppercase. And secondly you can add stuff by editing your first post.
Очень приятный человек и конечно виртуозный музыкант
Most wonderfully explained animal issues and yes they need our voice as explained because they can not.speak for themselves against the human majority that controls and uses them without empathetic care for them.
great to hear you talk about animals attenbroughs a perfect planet is on line now
It is burning trap, how’s your day going ? Thanks for having me.
💙
A great human being.
Equal is what we all are, thanks for having me.
How long have you known him? You can hear all this stuff from most of the homeless people in the world with there unique views mostly like this. Talking about how animals can’t speak about there abuse. Why don’t you spend your days with them? He won’t even say who he votes for or if he has voted conservatives before. He’s afraid of everything.
@@MrThedonhead What’s perspective are you trying to drive in?
Thank you from a Grammi in America.
Thanks to you and your son, both of you are lovely and thank you both for supporting me... Privately write to me bmaymusic235@gmail.com, thanks for asking me...
@@jmkoskinen patiently waiting to hear from you.
Strictly voting one party over another hasn't gotten us very far. I too am a strong believer on voting issues over party. Usually agreeing on issues will cause voters to lean more towards one party, but voting a straight party line can cause more problems than it solves.
Agree. I vote primarily on the policies I feel will uplift the working class and poor and will protect our environment. I will not support any politician whose policies are inhumane, cruel, and only serving corporate interests. I'm an independent and don't pledge allegiance to any party. Of the major two parties in the US, I do favor the Democrats. But I will rightfully criticize the party if I disagree with their strategy or whatever. I absolutely despise the corporate wing represented by corrupt scumbags like Joe Manchin for example. I think we really just need to just stop being tribal and allowing ourselves to be divided by dishonest actors. Whether they be crooked politicians, corporate media hacks, conspiracy theorists, or grifters online.
I love the conversation with his father , he was able to achieve his dream because his father sacrificed everything fir him .
How beautiful.
I agree , Brexit is really such a shame ,don't support it personally . I vote Green too but really very confused now .
We all have a way to get things fixed so it’s a grace for all of us for freedom of speech.

@@brianmay6212 Mr scammer Brexut has happened ,no way of getting things fixed now . If u lived in England you will understand it a shit agreement for everyone except fir the older folks who don't want to integrate into the modern Britain .

Sad. One of the most important and influential musicians ever didn't get the accolades from his father deserved of such a stellar achievement. If I had been able to accomplish a tenth as much as Dr. May my dad wouldn't have been able to stop boasting about it.

I do believe that Brian's Dad helped him to craft and build Red, together. His Father was proud, supportive and encouraging or he would have done nothing of the sort.

Thank you so much for the love and support.
Often Birthdays r not celebrated on the exact date. As long as u show love all year round, it doesn't matter what day you celebrate.
True as my dad use to say out of sight is never out mind.
That’s why I never buy anything because just being alive is a present in it self.
Brian didn't have a problem with injustice when Queen played that run of shows in Sun City.
And people can't make mistakes? Which Brian has acknowledged concerning that topic.
its relevant to point out that the Tory's prior to thatcher where very different to her and conservatives after.

He could rely on all of his accomplishments and be a complete ass. Instead he is humble and down to earth. And we are the better for it.

I simply would not talk about my Dad to strangers especially stuff he was ashamed of.
Yellow walls Freddie color Brian.
I think Brian did an amazing job of not falling in to the typical media trap of trying to define people by a party political allegiance. It's unnerving to see how stumped the interviewer became at the end - ‘does not compute’ was written all over the interviewers face. The sooner people learn to be less tribal about politics the better - and Brian, for me at least, embodies that.
True, how long have you been supporting me ?

I didn't hear it either. For me it's not Queen so I wasn't overly interested even though there was a lot of publicity about it.
He sounds good, but it's hard to believe someone that kind would be with the left... he did say he wasn't for building walls, I didn't miss that. I do appreciate his care for animals though. Most of the rock stars belong to the Cabal actually, or they wouldn't be at superstar status, they have to join the baby eating club to become famous like Queen was. His skin sure looks young.
