Brighton Rock

You would think after hearing Brian do the same thing over and over again, and specifically in hearing the Wembley '86 Brighton Rock exactly the same aproximately 200 times or more in my life, you woult think just maybe it would grow a tad old.

It's the greatest anomoly of always, ALWAYS hitting me like a truck the way it did the first time and on. It must be audio-chemical if that's a word.

My biggest Queen live fear is that Brian will one day get bored with it and start going for more traditional solos. That 3 part repeat is pure grade A heroin to my eardrums.


No point here, just felt like voicing random praise for Queen's ultimate musical masterpiece, in my opinion.

I think Brian will keep playing it until the day he dies. I've never been so thrilled about the solo, but I love the song (the rest of it), what an underrated masterpiece!

That song does indeed rock :)
Plus my name is in it :D
Jenny by the way and not Jimmy lol

Too much delay can be

As a matter of fact, I happen to like those echo etudes loads, but I think the one in 'Brighton Rock' (especially the studio version) is notably below Brian's limits. IMHO.

...a bad thing, but not in Brighton Rock.

hello there, well i think that brighton rock doesn't reflect the real talent of brian, anyway it's a good instrumental song but it's definetely not a song that made queen as huge as they were.

All of you people saying it doesn't reflect brians talent, or that it is below him...i can hazard a guess you dont play guitar.

it is a very complex arrangement and you have to be on your toes pretty much the whole time playing/improvising this piece. it isnt just a case of playing anything willy nilly. It has to be in key and harmonize and in time otherwise it just wont work.

if you make a mistake and play a song that is out of the key, which i have seen brian do many a time, yo have to think quickly and change key and go with that.

it isn't as simple as you are making it out to be.

I've never said it's simple. I'm saying that, good as it is, it's below Brian's limits. He could do better (which doesn't mean the solo is bad or mediocre or whatever).

define better, what do you think would be better?

i am curious

I can play that with my cock.


Try Malmsteen's violin etude.

Now THAT'S hard and way more complex.


Never really liked the solo on the original version... and hated the live solo, all the way.

No, my cock is like half a plectrum... but thinner.

yes, but the thing is that I like old men.

Queenzone is becoming a joke!...we need the old timers back, you know, the older queen fans.

I don't think he'll lose sleep, but I couldn't care less.

I don't think 'Brighton Rock' solo is simple or mediocre, but I DO think Brian could have done something more melodic (such as many superb solos he's done throughout the years) and original than that. If you disagree, that's all right, but I don't see why do people have to make personal attacks such as "if you say so, you don't play guitar" or employ sarcasm.
