Brian May

Brian May is Queen’s (we all know who they are) guitarist and one of the band’s founding members. May is noted for his soaring guitar solos as well as his ability to combine rock & roll and classical music styles. His unusual voice is instantly recognizable, regardless of the band he is with at the time. After Freddie Mercury’s death, Queen as a band was placed on pause for almost a decade. Brian May, on the other hand, has resurfaced since then, bringing Queen back to the forefront of rock.
