Having seen so many celebrities and pseudo-celebrities scoop faux 'honourary' awards, to see someone like Brian put in the graft essential to earn such a luxurious title is great to see!

Apart from everything else, I really appreciate how Brian just says things how they are: He tells us about all his great accomplishments, the PhD, CBE, etc. and how he's proud of them in an honest way, without bragging but also without this annoying, all-too-common fake humbleness.

Brian May is a man of many talents but his guitar work with Queen is simply awesome. I didn’t know until very recently watching Queen’s live performance of “Save Me” in Montreal that Brian can play the piano also. Musical genius!

Love your music! Being married to a pro musician (deceased-cancer) for 30 plus years, I know grand music when I hear it, and yours is grand. Our two sons are also accomplished musicians so again your music gets an A plus from them. I’m a writer/school teacher so I notice a gifted writer when I see his/her words and yours is awesome. I didn’t start listening to Queen until just a few months ago because I am a late bloomer (six children) and started college and graduated. It wasn’t easy with a husband on tour during that time and having my sixth child a couple of months before I graduated. I am going for my doctorate and writing my desertation on Queen so I read a lot on you all. The reason I am just getting acquainted with your music and Queen is because I was studying nonstop. So, am so glad that I discovered the music of Queen. With that and your album I am pretty much into the music. I am sorry for writing so much, but that’s what I do…write.

Just listen to how his voice still sounds like that of a young man. He could still sing Some day one day, casually, dishing out the same juvenile vocal freshness... or something very very close to it. I am astonished.

Doctor Commander Rock Icon Brian May. Sounds right. If I ever had the opportunity to meet one person it would be Brian. He seems to have a calm, gentle presence which is absolutely astonishing.

Among the other things Brian May also wrote a song (39) which describes pretty well the screenplay of Interstellar 40 years before the movie came out :-)

I absolutely loved Gwilym in Bohemian Rhapsody! He captured Brian so much as a person that I could hear the analytical scientist's brain (as well as the humility) in his voice as though it came straight from May.

I squeeled with glee with he said his favorite of his solo work is Resurrection. It is my favorite of his works as well. It is indeed a pep talk, a way to rev you up and keep you going. And funny about the portrayal of him in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. When I saw that movie my reaction was “That guy Brian Mays more than Brian May Brian Mays” lol

You are Sir Brian now as I watch this a year later, interestingly.
