Mmm... White Queen, All Dead, Good Company, the solo for These Are The Days Of Our Lives, Bijou, most of his work on The Miracle album, Who Wants To Live Forever ... [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]I have to add the solo from Put Out the Fire. He's drunk, and you can tell, but he still manages to get a great solo out. I think I remember him saying he wasn't happy with it but I don't give a fuck, it's a little left of field and I love it.[/QUOTE]

@Sebastian:
Just as a point of interest: do you believe that in a group consisting of four musicians who also compose, like Queen, it is *practically* (not theoretically) possible for a song to be written without all four contributing?

I should mention the song made in heaven, love what brian did with that one.

He said that was his opinion (that's what IMO means) so how can he be "not even sort of close"?
... also...

Kings yes, gods no, and they're not the only ones in that 'podium'.
So you say it's incorrect to call someone a Rock God because they're not supernatural omnipotent beings, but it's Ok to call them "kings"?
Last time I checked, neither the Beatles, Queen or Led Zep were monarchs of any kingdom.
Mr. Semantics is getting sloppy.
... or should I say "Seb-antics"? :)
On the other hand, there is some good discussion going on in here. I like that!

I didn't say it's correct to call them kings. I said 'kings yes, gods no'. Not the same thing.
> Last time I checked, neither the Beatles, Queen or Led Zep were monarchs of any kingdom.
Which doesn't necessarily mean they aren't.
> Mr. Semantics is getting sloppy.
Maybe... I don't know who Mr Semantics is, but if I ever meet him, I'll try to see if he's getting sloppy or not and I'll tell you.
> ... or should I say "Seb-antics"? :)
You 'should' say whatever you want to. Your problem, not mine.

So please contribute to the good dicussion instead of bringing back old things.

Ok, I'll get to the good discussion but only if you agree that my local pub band gets to people's consciousness just as much as Led Zeppelin. They get to their loyal fan base of 10 people equally as much as Led Zep gets to millions, hehe :).
Too bad... I was halfway through my dedicated study to determine whether The Beatles or Led Zep were actually 'kings' somewhere in the world. Even then, that doesn't mean they COULDN'T be, right?
You spend so much time saying what everybody else can't prove and nitpicking on everyone else's posts that sometimes your original point gets lost.
At least we agree about "Dancer". Cool track.
It's one of my personal favorites on Hot Space

I won't agree or disagree to that, as I don't know your local pub band or how much it gets to people's consciousness.
> They get to their loyal fan base of 10 people equally as much as Led Zep gets to millions, hehe :).
If they do, then good for them.
> Too bad... I was halfway through my dedicated study to determine whether The Beatles or Led Zep were actually 'kings' somewhere in the world.
As long as you're halfway, you could finish your study.

Indeed.
> You spend so much time saying what everybody else can't prove and nitpicking on everyone else's posts that sometimes your original point gets lost.
Actually, I don't: I've spent time 'saying what' about 10 or 15 people in QZ 'can't prove and nitpicking on' 10 or 15 people's 'posts'. 'Everybody else' accounts for about 6.7 billions, off which 10 or 15 are not even 0.00000025%. Which means that for over 99.99999975% of 'everybody else', I'm not saying what they can't prove or nitpicking their posts.

Good for you.

WOW. This topic has gone through some real twists and turns.
Wiley · Member since
Yup, it did. I don't even remember if I gave my opinion as to Brian's best work.
I've been listening to Hot Space in my car for the last couple of days and I have to say that I love the guitar in songs like Dancer and Put Out the Fire.
Regarding solos, it's Put Out the Fire (again) and Back Chat (whose solo ALMOST saves the song) for me. Man, I really like that album!
10% more guitars, 20% less synths and a higher tempo in some songs would have made it a classic.
By the way, does anybody know if Brian plays rythm guitar on Cool Cat? It sounds similar in style to AOBTD and that was John, so I guess it could be John playing there.

I agree on hot space....Go through my Hot space moments....how good could that album have been with a few changes?...how did they screw that one up?...could have been a stone cold classic.

John played the rythm guitar on Cool Cat. Go to Queenpedia and you would find lots of interesting stuff.

Best Guitar Work?
Well certainly his best work to begin with was from Queen I to A Day at the Races and the Miracle to Made in Heaven however Brian has always been a good and consistent guitar player.
qrock · Member since
My Favourite solos: Two from every album
Queen I: Great King Rat and Maybe even Keep Yourself Alive Queen II: hmm, Father to Son and Someday One Day but Brian Was just absolutely outstanding throughout Queen II. Sheer Heart Attack: Brighton Rock (OBVIOUSLY), Killer Queen (Yet Again Brian rocks in this album) A Night at the Opera: Bohemian Rhapsody?? The Prophet's Song (Death..., Lazing, Sweet Lady are still amazing) and oh Good Company A Day at the Races: Tie YOUR MOTHER DOWN, Sombody to Love but I also have to give Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy a mention. News of the World: We Will ROCK You and It'sLate Jazz: Dead on Time and Don't Stop Me Now The Game: Save Me and Sail Away Sweet Sister though I love Play the Game, Need Your Loving Tonight and Crazy Little Thing Called Love Flash: Flash and The Hero Hot Space: Put Out the Fire and Back Chat....Back Chat...Chat-Chat The Works: It's a Hard Life and Hammer to Fall A Kind of Magic: One Vision and Gimme the Prize (Brian had some fantastic guitar work during the album) The Miracle: Breakthu and the Invisible Man Innuendo: Innuendo and the Show Must Go On (Bijou and Headlong and very high up there) Made in Heaven: Heaven for Everyone and A Winter's Tale (I was Born.. Too Much are great aswell)
