I mean that there are many guitarist who play much better than Brian (even though he's excellent), and he's aware of that. Very few can compare to him when it comes to composing or arranging melodies and planning solos, but when it comes exclusively to playing, there are many much better. IMO.

The thing is with some of these comments you dont actually know whether anything that is being said IS true, the press have a habbit of blowing things out of proportion.
"when he played the Les Paul tribute that half the kids in the audience could play better than him."
This I simply cannot agree with. Go to youtube, type in Queen, and you'll wind up with hackjob guitarists who can't play *nearly* as well, trying out his stuff!
I know of what I speak, I once had a video of myself playing guitar on the internet, it was respectable, but please... I think 'half the kids in the audience' is a gross gross exaggeration! :P Brian needs his ears checked.

Personally I think Brian was nice enough to let Liza Minelli sing 'We Are The Champions' considering how much he admired her. Yet, that ended up becoming one of the worst performances of the night.[/QUOTE]
Oh i know, she totally BUTCHERED it!

Brian's problem is that he has better manners than the majority of people in the music industry, imo. Of course he's not going to say he's any good because he doesn't want to sound like he's a self-obsessed person, so he goes around putting himself down all the time. Deep down inside I'm sure he knows that he's a damn fine guitarist, why else would he still be playing after all these years? If he really thought he sucked, he wouldn't have chose the path that he did. Brian knows he's good, so it's not that he really "needs his ears checked," but he's got to stop beating himself up all the time. He's probably got low self-esteem, too, another reason why he'd say anyone is better than him.

I kinda grimaced... and from what I remembered she really drug all the "s" sounds out, which made her sound like a snake! I think at the end of the night they probably went, "Hmmm, maybe she wasn't the best choice for that song."
