Could Brian pull off a good instrumental album

One thing that I feel lacking in Brian's discography is a instrumental album or more instrumentals as a whole. That guitar solo he did during live in Ukraine was amazing and flashes of Brighton/son and daughter over the years. Could he have done a pure album of guitar or at his hieght during the 90s once queen was basically a finished project. Did a tour with a G3 line up... Would have been interesting to hear him jam with the likes of Marty Friedman and more in-depth with Stevie Vai.
Be interesting to hear your guys thoughts or reasons to this

Furia is as close as you're gonna get. Plus he did that MACBETH score that's never been released officially. I asked him about that at the 3-D signing and all he said was "Well (turns head pensively) ...I still HAVE it".


I'm hoping the great foursome are recruited for BILL & TED 3

Tony Iommi, Brian May (to score. ...these two alone would be historic) Steve Vai and Nuno.

But who knows. I'd settle for a few instrumentals from Bri and Iommi.

They could call it BRIOMMI

I like his voice. I'd like a new solo album by him... but one featuring his vocals as well as his guitar/bass/keyboards.

I don't doubt that he COULD have done it (and it probably would have been pretty cool), but I don't think he ever WANTED to. I think I remember reading some comments saying that around the time BTTL came out.

I'd love to hear home and Marty Friedman together.... I feel both share very similar parallel universe... Marty went to Japan with Speed metal Cacophony and fell in love with the place... wrote many fantastic Japanese inspired tunes then ended up living there after Megadeth.... Brian May... went to Japan with Queen... Japan and Queen both adopted each other as being..... well Japan fell in love with Queen when they were struggling to find.... and Queen fell in love with Japan and Brian ended up writing a Japanese inspired track....

Listen to tibet/Angel together from Marty Friedman

Marty Friedman friends to be friends queen YouTube queen tribute Marty plays sheer heart attack

He's done some great instrumentals in the past so no reason that he couldn't do it. I agree with Sebastian though and I like his voice too so would love him to do another solo LP.

Hey real wizard Google end of the beginning and Air.. Jason Becker and imagine if he was able to play with Brian May and also listen to tibet/Angel Marty Friedman... then listen to Jewel both Marty and Jason Becker played Jason was the first guitar solo then it's Marty. Both real good tracks to listen to... Jason Becker unfortunately was struck down with ALS end if the beginning was his last ever solo before becoming paralysed quite emotional peice of music when you listen to the demos and can hear him barly have enough strength to bend the strings..[/QUOTE]

I'll reply to this one in this thread, away from the insanity (read: fun) of the other one.

Jewel is a gorgeous piece, even without knowing all the background. Jason Becker is one of the most inspiring people alive.

i may be wrong but i thought that brian said he was working with tony iommi a few years ago on a duet type album,i think he contributed to a song on one of iommis solo albums.

Hate to be negative but it's not about music anymore, it's all about the money(concerts=money).
At least RT is about both from what it seems.

No to the question because that would flop and be boring. Brian only shines in the Queen format but i can honestly say the best solo work he has ever done was The Star fleet project that was awesome.

I think Bri said they were working on an album of riffs or something. Nowt released though.
