Queen: Brain May (How did you forget?)


I was going to add Brian May. Not many of them have a degree in Astrophysics (or something similar) either.

To be fair though, it's hard to single out a single member of Queen for individual praise. They were all exceedingly talented musicians, and all of them wrote hit songs (John Deacon was the best songwriter in the group IMO). Awesome band...

There's no such thing as a greatest guitar player of all time.  There are "greatest in a given generation of players", but it's impossible to quantify a "greatest of all time".  Why?  Because each generation of players build upon technique from a previous generation.  For example, Jimi Hendrix was arguably the greatest of his generation.  But today, there's a number of pro and amateur players what are better than Hendrix.  Obviously, today's players have all benefited from what Hendrix pioneered, so it's an unfair comparison to find a "greatest of all time".

I always been a Hendrix fan.

Now don't laugh at me but, Peter Frampton handles a guitar very well.

Now really don't laugh but, I like to listen to the Spanish Guitar and Charo plays a mean Spanish Guitar!

Again I'll say Definately not Clapton...and Definately not Malmsteen. But yes to Steve Howe from "Yes", David Gilmour From Pink Floyd  and Paul Gilbert when he was at "Racer X" and many other obscured names like Andy La Roque from King Diamond and Nocturno Culto From Drak Throne...in Satyricon's Nemessis Divina Album as well. By that time at Satyricon he was called by Kvelduv. No one in earth did what he did about to compose an entire album. He is not a good soloist Thought.
The music of this album Nemessis Divina are still misunderstood for the Human being in general.
