Brian Harold May, CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician, singer, songwriter and astrophysicist, best known as the lead guitarist of the rock band Queen. He uses a home-built electric guitar, called the Red Special. His compositions for the band include "We Will Rock You", "Tie Your Mother Down", "I Want It All", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "The Prophet's Song", "Flash", "Hammer to Fall", "Save Me", "Who Wants to Live Forever" and "The Show Must Go On".
May was a co-founder of Queen with lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor, having previously performed with Taylor in the band Smile, which he had joined while he was at university. Within five years of their formation in 1970 and the recruitment of bass player John Deacon completing the lineup, Queen had become established as one of the biggest rock bands in Britain with the album A Night at the Opera and its single "Bohemian Rhapsody". From the mid-1970s until the early 1990s, Queen were an almost constant presence in the UK charts and played some of the biggest venues in the world, most notably giving an acclaimed performance at Live Aid in 1985. As a member of Queen, May became regarded as a virtuoso musician and he was identified with a distinctive sound created through his layered guitar work. Following the death of Mercury in 1991, Queen were put on hiatus for several years but were eventually reconvened by May and Taylor for further performances featuring other vocalists. In 2005, a Planet Rock poll saw May voted the 7th greatest guitarist of all time. He was ranked at No. 26 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". In 2012, May was ranked the 2nd greatest guitarist of all time by a Guitar World magazine readers poll.

Speaking to the Guardian, the chief executive of the Countryside Alliance, Tim Bonner, says Springwatch presenter Chris Packham is using his position at the BBC to promote his views about conservation in the countryside. Bonner says Packham’s views are representative of the animal rights movement. Bonner says: ‘It should be perfectly possible to disagree with people about a policy without insulting them’

English/Nat Tens of thousands of people converged on central London Sunday to protest against the government's treatment of its countryside constituency. One of the main issues at stake was recent moves to outlaw the traditional country practice of fox hunting. That decision seems to have enraged residents from as far as Scotland and Northern Ireland, who came to express their feelings. But the affair remained calm, and marchers peacefully made their way from the Embankment to Hyde Park. More than 100-thousand country dwellers converged on central London on Sunday to complain that they are being neglected by the British government. When well-known sporting horseman Richard Meade lit this torch, once used for the Olympic games, the march officially began. The marchers...

Article and photos: http://bit.ly/BrianMayRR If there was a Mount Rushmore of British guitar heroes, undoubtedly, Queen's Brian May would grace that mountain. We caught up with May and his longtime guitar tech Pete Malandrone on Queen's summer tour with Adam Lambert to talk about his minimal effects, Vox amps, and of course, the Red Special. Brian May's entire career has been almost exclusively spent with the guitar that he and his father built in 1964. "Red Special" is a three-pickup, double-cutaway guitar with Burns pickups and a very unique (at the time) switching system that allows May to cover a huge range of tones. According to May, everything on the guitar is still original from when it was built except for the tuning pegs and the rollers on the bridge. During a typical show, May...

Brian May’s Red Special - The Book Launch Subscribe to the official Queen channel here http://bit.ly/Subscribe2Queen In 1963, Brian May and his father Harold started to hand-build an electric guitar. Brian dreamed of a guitar that would outperform any of the existing commercially-made electric guitars and his father had the technical skills to make the dream come true. Brian then played that guitar on every Queen album and in all of Queen's live shows around the world. On Wednesday 1st October, Carlton Books celebrated the launch of Brian May's new book, published to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of the world's most iconic guitars, Brian May's Red Special.

RT caught up with legendary Queen guitarist Brian May, who also happens to be an astrophysicist, after a symposium of astronomers in the Canary Islands to talk about links between music and science, God, the universe and the mystery of death. May says being both a musician and a scientist gives him an interesting observation point to view both. "I love pure science and I love pure music. They are not the same for sure, but certainly throughout the centuries there have been people, who were immersed in both of them, from Leonardo da Vinci to Patrick Moore. Maybe it's an abstraction thing, maybe people who like those things, don't like the clutter of the world we live in. They just like to find the essence of life," he told RT. As a man of art, May has insights into life, which he has to put...
