I met him four times in the early 1990s. Two of those times, he went completely out of his way to talk to me and a few other people who were there for him. Outside a radio station in L.A. where he had just done an interview, he saw a few of us in the parking lot, and he had his limo driver stop so he could get out and talk to us. Most celebrities would not have done that. Another amazing moment is after he performed on the Tonight Show in Burbank (Los Angeles). As soon as the TV show is finished taping, the staff hurries the audience out, and the guests on the show also leave the stage immediately. A few of us stayed for as long as we could to get Brian's attention, and he noticed. Despite the protocol of staff clearing the studio and not allowing time for autographs, Brian (and Slash) came over to us anyway.

He is such a beautiful, humble, intelligent human being. I love that in interviews and in answering questions he is always very personal and one-on-one with the other person. As the lady says, very down to earth.

Calling Roger Taylor a "good" singer is an understatement. I have said this many times and will continue to do so until I die: if you give Roger Taylor a mic and you put him in front of a rock band, you have one of the 5 greatest lead singers in the history of rock n' roll, period. Now he may have not been one of the best showmen (like Elvis or whatever), but in terms of pure singing ability, very few singers in rock music have Roger's range and facility - especially in the upper registers. He's essentially a better version of Rod Stewart. He has that perfect rasp, but Rod has nowhere near the range that Roger does. What is even more amazing about Roger is that he had to sing in unison or sing vocal harmonies with Freddie Mercury while he was often drumming in 6/8 and 5/4 time at a fast tempo. I have no idea how he was ever able to pull that off.

For a guy who was (and is) one of the greatest rock guitarists ever, Brian is an incredibly real person. This is just a pleasure to watch.

You get the impression that Brian could have been anything in his life, such are the abundance of gifts he possesses. His humility is palpable and yes, he is a gentleman in the true sense - a gentle man, much beloved all over the world.

You are nor excused from being a human being just because you are famous. I love that line from Brian May. He is just a wonderful person

When we have politicians and people running around acting like spoiled little brats, spewing hate towards others, destroying the environment and not caring at all about anyone but themselves, it’s so inspiring to hear someone like Brian May. What a wonderful person and I hope young people will look to him and others like him for inspiration. If we do, then we stand a chance.

Brian is perfect in every way.

I love the last question she asked. When Bri said 'I love you' in a joking yet serious way,I died...

It's overwhelming how very modest Brian May is. He could without question have been living the absolute celebrity lifestyle but he doesn't.

It's never easier to love Brian than when he bares his soul. His honesty and genuineness is so refreshing in a day and age where everything is given the "reality TV" hype.

As a lifelong Queen fan, and I am now 47, I would have had many questions for Brian. However, I would have just thanked him (as well as Roger and John) for standing by Freddie until the end and giving us some amazing music until no more was possible.

Oh, wow...!!! Quality of the Queen shows! We Queen fans never wronged in loving them, up to this time 😍

It has been a genuine pleasure to listen to this wonderful man share about his life with Queen.

God exists. Freddy is with him in peace. We love you Freddy! We love you QUEEN! Thank you Brian for all you've done.

His solo on You don't fool me is beyond celestial..so charismatic as well as intelligent and talented.

Brian May is my second favourite Queen member because he never changed being himself, easy going, down to earth, steady serious personality!! Queen needed him to balance the group to get the unity and order to workout well and then bring about the bonding process of these individuals to get their order and become more than a band But become friends and brothers basically family unity!!! That’s why they were so tightly together even sometimes on their own still together!! A true gentleman humble and kind and mostly genuine levelheaded . Respect! 👏👏👏👏 👍👍👏😍🥂

Brian May is someone I very much wish I could meet, not only to ask him questions, but to tell him how much Queen's music has been, more than any other artist, the soundtrack to my life.

He's one of the best people ever, I think I don't exaggerate ..

He is just the best.

Dr. May is UTTERLY AMAZING!!! His KNOWLEDGE, his SENSE OF HUMOR, HIS OVERALL DEMINOR.....JUST ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!🌹💖🎸

"Thankyou for saying I am down to earth" Not bothered one bit about about being a legend, what a lovely man

He's such a gentleman and has such a pure heart! I also love how nervous he seems and is so well spoken but the most relaxed he looks is saying he was "fucking terrified" with Buckingham Palace

If I have ever heard a class act speak his mind, Brian May is it. What a wonderfully warm and sympathetic person he is.

Queen are the greatest band ever. All 4 are masters at what they do. Freddie at the front: no competition. Couple all that with internal respect, friendship and loyalty and it's just amazing. All of them gentleman.

Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon see the genius of Freddie Mercury. They let him show his genius unconditionally and it pays off...They are good musician. Roger Brian is right, Freddie is a vehicle and the three of them, ride along with him. Pay attention to Roger Taylor, he sings with Freddie doing the voices all the time. These guys are real musicians. .. I think, Queen got the young people of the 21st century.....Thank you.

Class act in a world with very little of it.

Brian May, or more appropriately, Dr. May.......you are a very talented, classy human being. Thank you!

He's such a humble guy and truly honest and frank. Totally loved this talk.

Brian May is such a class act. And so humble! Playing with Jimi Hendrix? Brian would be surprised at how humble Jimi would be in wanting to play bass while watching Brian lay down the guitar chops.

You are a first class human being Brian. ...I'm glad Freddie had you as a friend

A true gentleman and genius with the guitar, so humble despite his success, also incredibly intelligent and highly educated - I would love to meet him one day

He is a legend , he is Queen too . And he's a family man , a doctor and on and on . He's a beautiful person!

Brian is so kind and intelligent person. I love the way he thinks about life and all the stuff around it. 😍

His voice hasnt changed!! Even after many years. I close my eyes and i hear Brian May from 70s

Thank you so very much , Brian!! Your a great inspiration to me and I'm sure for all whom love you !

I think Brian teaches a great lesson in that being a rockstar doesn't necessarily mean you have to have a huge ego and treat others like shit.....

What an upright, good man!!! so much respect for this gentleman
