What is Brighton Rock? what album is it from... who wrote it, what color socks were they wearing the day it was recorded.. ;-)
My Brothers and Sisters all hated me 'cause I was an only child... -Weird Al (Generic Blues) I gave up on books when 'To Kill A Mockingbird' gave me no useful advice on how to kill a mockingbird.
If I'm correct (and this is a big fat honking 'if') you're talking about the two chords he usually plays in fast succession during the end of his stage solos.

These are high A's and D's, I think. Basically, you can achieve this sound using 'cowboy' chords, but played one octave higher. Like - up high. It takes a bit of practise to achieve the switch nice and fast the way he does it, but once you've nailed it you are laughing!

I'm not quite sure I understand which ones you mean...
The final two chords also on the Wembley version?

Those are B- and E fifths I believe...

i hate those stupid solos - they sound terrible! i think Freddie and the guys went along with it just so they can have 10 min break during the show!
Thank you my darlings, you lot of tarts.
Eh... whatever.

And yeah - I gave it a bit of thought, got out the guitar and confused myself. It's not A and D I don't think.

It's a part of the Queen performance.
I've sometimes wondered if fans really enjoyed Brian solo's. After seeing the Rotterdam concert and seeing all those fans screaming enthousiastic during the Brighton Rock solo I'm quite sure people agree with me.
Nope, they're not indeed ;-)
My favorite Queen material of any kind always are the Brighton Rock solos Brian plays. As much as I don't care for Live Killers as a Queen show, I do think it has the best Brighton Rock ever done.
well no way!!!!!I it when they have solo parts espically in the wembley dvd freddie says fuck you thats funny
Aye just popped my Wembley in, it's B and E. I was confused with the end of We Will Rock You.
