Young Brian May watching Old Brian May play

Rabs

Ha...  Something kinda cool about that 

ICBM

There's got to be a time travel joke in there somewhere...

Worth it for the Groot t-shirt alone.

May needs a haircut.......when hair goes grey and is still that long it looks very sad old rocker
May also looks like that pillock that is on Top Gear/Grand Tour.....same name too

Even though the other bloke is just an actor in a wig, it's kind of unnerving to watch the pair of them together.

Three questions;

Can an you compose and play as well as ‘ old rocker ‘ May ?

Are you as bald as a coot ?

Jealous much ?

Ah, the tried and trusted "criticism = jealousy" argument.  Haven't seen that for a little while.

Rabs

Hahaha..   That's brilliant.. He got to do his own opening theme for 20th Century Fox

Never was a big fan of Queen, but I'll fight anyone who doesn't think Brian May is one of the coolest to ever pick up a guitar.

You’re heading for a good old fashioned arse whooping then

20th Century Fox should just use that for all their opening credits from now on.

Just hearing him play that reminds me that Brian is one of the most unique and recognisable guitarists ever. He really did create his own sound.

He's a great player but that sound is so shrill it could split paving slabs.
Never really liked Queen even though they're all good musicians.

3 Answers ;
 1) Brian May would leave me standing on the guitar but can he play Piano ?
      I have 49 years experience as a grade 8 Classical Pianist and about 25 years experience as a Jazz Pianist 
      I still don't see the relevance - Chacun a son Gout
2)  No ,I have a full head of Salt and Pepper greyed hair cut in a style that suits a man of 57 and in tune with this century
3) No not jealous in the least of his personal grooming / aesthetic
     Yes; jealous of his Royalties / Pension but my wife is 25 years younger and better looking than Anita Dobson
      Still don't see the relevance
I am slightly jealous of the fact that he was good friends with Patrick Moore who would have been a delightful eccentric companion.
I was generally commenting on his Hairstyle not his guitar ability, composition ability or Astronomy prowess (which is pretty serious )

Would it make you happy if he dyed his hair then?

It used to be his clogs that people slagged him off for, now it seems to be his hair.

In isolation it’s like an ice pick to the eardrum.  Put it in a band context, and it cuts through beautifully.

It's because of the treble booster he uses. That through the top boost of an AC-30 is like an ice pick between the eyes, but you're right. It works wonderfully in the mix (and he often gets beautiful overtones, im not sure if that's some weird technique or and effect of the top boost).

Edit: On second thoughts I don't know if he used the normal or top boost input. Maybe someone knows better than me.

Am I the only one who can't see the point of that video?

Well it's from when they filmed that scene, real Brian is showing actor Brian his rock star moves for him to copy. Then release it as a seperate video on social media to keep the marketing machine rolling for the film
