Brian has a much better performance at Brixton 1993

hahaha

There’s a better version live in 1998 and 1993. Ones fast and ones slow

He has a better voice on his performance of hammer to fall in 1993 Brixton Academy

From Brazil.

I think he is called Jamie Moses!

Yeh that's Jamie

Was in the brian may band, and queen & Paul Rodgers lineup

It's actually he who came up with the idea to arrange the song this way. He said in an interview he played it for Brian and initially he did not even click it was Hammer to Fall.

5:12 it gose normal speed. I would recommend watching Brian sing hammer to fall live in 1993 London for a good fast version

Yeah they tried this for a couple of years playing it slow but ended up going back to the fast and heavy version eventually.

I don't like this version either. All I was waiting was this song to speed up. They did a nice kinda mix with Queen + Paul Rodgers where the slow part also exists, but not that annoying. I can also notice, that Bri is struggling here playing his Red special, and the guitar looks here pre-repaired by Greg Fryer, so it's out of tune somewhere, looks worn out, and it sounds like the upper frets are flat as fuck. There is a later video of Bri saying the frets were never changed, so I wonder what Greg did to make the frets higher... I suppose he cut some wood off the fretboard... Digging out the frets.

@@user-lx3dn9bt9e I don't remember leaving this harsh common, perhaps I'd had a few beers and it was late at night, so that's my excuse. Yes I think he probably dressed all the other frets and then took the strings down a touch. It's interesting that Brian never uses his little finger when playing (except for chords) so on the one hand it obviously limits him to a point but on the other hand, because he's only using three fingers perhaps when he has to move or slide up his third finger to play the notes the fourth finger should have played then that adds something different to his sound. It's certainly worked for him. These days I love watching these young guys play- Damian Salazar Smoke on the water and Miguel Montalban's version of Hey joe and Comfortably numb. Peace my friend.

​@@truthseeker7794yeah Brian has said he only ever uses his pinky if he's playing set pieces and even then that's not very often
