Can Brian play the blues?

That's incorrect. EVH has stated that the only guitarist he liked was EC. EVH may have stated that he didn't like what EC became when EC went pop.

Another google seems to suggest he was probably drunk when he said what I read.

"Listen to Brian's 1998 BBC Radio 'Multi-Track' Session. You'll find some blues there. Especially the blues rendition of Tie Your Mother Down."

And this only backs up the Brian can't play blues argument. This version is utterly cringeworthy, maybe the worst thing he has ever done.

Strangely enough I was listening to John's bassline from TYMD in isolation just now and parts of that are pretty bluesy.

You don't need google to know that EVH was definitely drunk when he said that.

Brian May mostly plays Major/Dorian scales, so YES he can play them, but i dont think he WANTS to, he only played one or 2 licks, Voodoo is a good example.
