Revision as of 10:13, 12 June 2018
Brian May is a singer and song writer for the band Queen. He primarily plays guitar, but he also plays keyboard, sings backup vocals, and sings lead vocals on a number of songs. Brian is my favorite member of Queen. I simply adore his guitar work and I tend to prefer the composition and lyrics of songs over the other of the other four members because they're more down to earth and romantic. While he didn't have the raw strength or technical singing skill of Freddie Mercury, I still really love his singing voice.
