Brian is a doctor, a commander of the British empire, and in spirit a knight. Next, you're gonna tell me he was the lead guitarist of one of the greatest bands of all time!

The fact that Dr. Brian May decided to play in the greatest band of all time just to avoid writing his thesis gives me hope lol

Being a doctor in astrophysics suits him well because with the gray long curly hair he looks like isaac newton

"I'm just Brian" sir you are alot more than "just Brian". He is literally the sweetest human on Earth 🥺

This world needs Brian May. This world needs many, many more like him.

Brian’s voice is so ✨calming✨

When I saw Bohemian Rhapsody, I was amazed at how well they had recreated Brian May's voice. I remember commenting on it to the people I was watching it with. Now I have heard Brian May say that even his children couldn't tell the difference between the actor and their own father. That's pretty impressive.

This guy is about the coolest guy ever. Pretty sure he would be a very easy guy to talk to and very down to earth.

He took so long to become a doctor because he got a little distracted with a little band called Queen.

He definitely should be knighted, done far more than some that have received that honour.

A doctor, astrophysicist, a commander, a musician, a singer and a whole lot more than what most of us can do in two.

I bet in interviews he gets asked about Freddie as much as himself. Everybody seems so interested in Freddie. I guess in part because he’s not here anymore so he’s a bit of an enigma.

Brian says he would prefer to be remembered for his animal rights work more than his science or music.

Brian is the only guitarist that every guitarist like! Really, there's no guitar player that doesn't admire him.

Mr May is a gentleman, and I mean it: A real gentle man. He inspires peace. I hear him talking and I feel less stressed about everything.

Literally this interview could go on and on for hours and I wouldn't complain about it for a second. I love hearing him talk so much, the way he expresses himself, his voice, his body language. He's truly a real gentleman and the most sweet, kind musician ever❤️❤️❤️

Brian PHD CBE is quite the achievement if you are British and it's kinda cool.

Dr. Brian Harold May is an amazingly talented, sweet, down-to-earth musician, person, activist. When Brian talks, people listen carefully. Love Brian, and love his Back to the Light album.

Brian is a doctor, a CBE, musician and he helps hedgehogs other wildlife in the UK like foxes and badgers. That personally makes me want to meet him more. If I could I would want to meet some of the hedgehogs he’s helped rescue from his garden in surrey. He’s such a sweetheart and humble man!

You can't not love Brian May, he is such a legend but also seems like a super lovely person

I love Brian May. He's so much more positive than Brian Cant, albeit not as decisive.

Sir Brian May, Rock legend and astrophysicist what a badass title he holds. Amazing human being too. I like the songs written by him.

Brian's voice is Made In Heaven

My dad is an amateur astronomer and, knowing I'm a lifelong rock fan, was VERY excited to tell me that an astrophysicist he follows is also a rock guitarist! I said, "Brian May?" and he said, "oh you know him?". Yep dad, I know him lol

I love Brian's music but I think my favourite thing about him is how he went back to University and studied and worked for his doctorate. Having seen so many celebrities and pseudo-celebrities scoop faux 'honourary' awards, to see someone like Brian put in the graft essential to earn such a luxurious title is great to see!

I love how he absolutely does not need to introduce himself, yet he still does.

In the 80s as a rock guitarist in australia, i met many touring bands. Out of all the rockstars i ever met, Brian was the best. The nicest, most genuine and humble guy. An english gentleman.

Absolutely love Brian's Guitar sound...and to build a guitar that is unique looking and it's sound..AMAZING..i was a young lad first hearing QUEEN back in 74..Cheers...JR from Boston MA.

Happy birthday Brian

It's crazy how did Brian and Freddie live so close together and not know each other that's crazy.

Apart from everything else, I really appreciate how Brian just says things how they are: He tells us about all his great accomplishments, the PhD, CBE, etc. and how he's proud of them in an honest way, without bragging but also without this annoying, all-too-common fake humbleness.

29 years old! Back to the light is still “Brian’s new album to me.

Ok, this guy is: a rock star, a world renowned astrophysicist and even a master with words.

He's so soft spoken and sweet and humble...

It is hard enough to get a Ph.D. when you are in your twenties or thirties. But to pick up again decades later ...and to actually complete that dissertation is unimaginable. Congratulations, Dr. May, for your contribution to Astrophysics, but more so for your music.

Gosh I love Brian May. Such a gentleman. I was so happy for him when he got his Ph.D. I'm a physics person too and that is no small feat. He's right to be proud of it.

However much I'd like to be on first name with this guy, I'll always consider him a sir. Look at the legacy, look at how he interacts with people. Many knights could learn a lot from him... Always so humble despite being a commander ;) best wishes Brian, if you're reading along... You deserve more.

Bri is a knight now! Knight, Doctor, epic rock legend, world's best guitarist, member of the greatest band to ever exist, and incredible human being. Not bad Bri, not bad at all!

When I watched Bohemian Rhapsody, it really seemed like a time traveling Brian May was playing him in that movie. So hats off to the actor, he really nailed that part.

This world needs more than one of each member of Queen specially Brian May

I could listen to Brian the whole day. His voice is so relaxing.

Miss you Brian. Queen forever, in our hearts

Most educated Band on the Planet , Queen .... Such an exceptional

Personally, I thought Gwilym Lee stole the show. I thought he got BM's mannerisms absolutely spot on.

For his continuing contributions to music, culture, science, and conservation, he is certainly deserving of a Knighthood.

Dr. May CBE I am 76 and new to Queen. I was in an an acapella choir in high school and remembered how our directive was always to focus on our conductor. I have watched your face and eyes as you played with Freddy Mercury. And it was the same. Your eyes never left him, You mesmerized me with your concentration on Freddy’s movements and music. OMG. What a band mate and musician you are.

Omg his message to Gwilym is so lovely

100% a legend

You inspired me to learn to play guitar at 40. One of the best things I've done.

This is so fun to watch. Especially fun when you were lucky enough to see him record this live.

The man,The myth, THE LEGEND!! Fortunate enough to see them in 81 in New Haven,Ct with Billy Squire opening for Queen. Brighton Rock was MESMERIZING live!!

This guy is a legend. Loved Queen since I was 7. Still do.

Arise Sir Brian May

How can someone be this successful and remain so humble

Fender should seriously consider making all guitars out of those components as Dr May's sound and timbre cannot be beaten.

Brian May is a man of many talents but his guitar work with Queen is simply awesome. I didn’t know until very recently watching Queen’s live performance of “Save Me” in Montreal that Brian can play the piano also. Musical genius!

I think we are blessed that we have Brian May. In my opinion he gave a certain renaissance to the rock music.

0:26 Dang, We will Rock You and We Are The Champions are my favorite Queen songs too man!

What is Brian May doing now? - being awesome, as always! We love you Brian 🎸🙏❤️

6:46 now you're officialy Sir Brian Harold May

the world needs more people like brian may

I want more of this. Brian May is very interesting and I'd love to learn more about him. I've been a Queen fan all my 22 years of life, and I've read "As It Began". Brian May is a man I'd love to sit and talk to, and ask a bunch of questions.

i could listen to his voice forever. it's so calming.

I love listening to him speak, his answers are very interesting an so articulate. He's an amazing artist and I really appreciate his work

I absolutely loved Gwilym in Bohemian Rhapsody! He captured Brian so much as a person that I could hear the analytical scientist's brain (as well as the humility) in his voice as though it came straight from May.

Just listen to how his voice still sounds like that of a young man. He could still sing Some day one day, casually, dishing out the same juvenile vocal freshness... or something very very close to it. I am astonished.

Let's start a petition to get Brian Knighted. ✋

So neat he answered questions WE ask. So cool re: his guitar, and thankful he is so down to earth and charming.

Nicest , smartest , most talented guy. He’s earned every bit of his fame, fortune, education all from HARD WORK .. Take note kids , nobody handed him a thing , he EARNED ALL OF IT.

Brian's talent, intellect, creativity have captured my fascination for years. What a cool guy. Inspiring.

6:18 Well, this needs to be updated... 😊 Congratulations, Sir Brian Harold May!

Love your music! Being married to a pro musician (deceased-cancer) for 30 plus years, I know grand music when I hear it, and yours is grand. Our two sons are also accomplished musicians so again your music gets an A plus from them. I’m a writer/school teacher so I notice a gifted writer when I see his/her words and yours is awesome. I didn’t start listening to Queen until just a few months ago because I am a late bloomer (six children) and started college and graduated. It wasn’t easy with a husband on tour during that time and having my sixth child a couple of months before I graduated. I am going for my doctorate and writing my desertation on Queen so I read a lot on you all. The reason I am just getting acquainted with your music and Queen is because I was studying nonstop. So, am so glad that I discovered the music of Queen. With that and your album I am pretty much into the music. I am sorry for writing so much, but that’s what I do…write. Thank you all for giving me such an interesting subject to write about. “Better late than never.” right?

I LOVE YOU BRIAN

We must protect this man at all costs

3:55 i love his sense of humor

He is Sir Bri now!!! ❤️

My brother is currently doing a PHD and I can attest to Brian’s statement It’s been very stressful for my poor brother but I’m proud he’s been sticking through it Also I do the coin thing but with a 2p though I also use plectrums every so often

Anita is a precious woman, beautiful inside and out. She's responsible for the song, "I want it all"

Proud to be British we have such talented musicians like Freddie and brian and the rest of queen ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧

His smile is just everything

He looks like aged gracefully and he is 74.

What a genuine humble man Brian May!!!

What a nice man. No wonder he could accomplish so much in his life.

Brian May…I absolutely adore you. You’re the sweetest person!!!! ♥️🌹

It's like he lives a double life. I mean, in a day, he can literally give lectures 'till noon, then go on like: "See ya later at the concert folks," and proceeds being a celebrity.

I love You Brian!!! 🥺💞

Brian May is FOREVER

This man is brilliant, Intelligent, talented, musical genius~Queen are legends period! 👑❤🎸🌟 THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BAND LIKE QUEEN!!! BLESS YOU!!!

He is sooo sweet. I imagine him as being the voice of reason, a dad, for the band. I'm sure "the kids" drove him insane! :D

What a lovely bloke you are!

I squeeled with glee with he said his favorite of his solo work is Resurrection. It is my favorite of his works as well. It is indeed a pep talk, a way to rev you up and keep you going. And funny about the portrayal of him in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. When I saw that movie my reaction was “That guy Brian Mays more than Brian May Brian Mays” lol

It's a great pleasure to hear this man speak , because despite all the wealth , fame and accolades , he appears to remain true to himself . He is a man , who if he considered you an friend , would be true to his word . A passion for music , but without ego . A soul untouched by the narsassistic effects of the entertainment industry .

I’m not a big queen fan, nor Mays work. But he’s a very humble man considering his legacy and fame. Interesting guy and that makes me want to finally dig into his catalogue more.

Brian's a total class act.

My idol! Literally think Brian is not only the greatest rock guitarist ever but also one of the coolest human beings alive, and one of the most down to earth humans too… he was so nice when I met him. Honour of a lifetime!

Amazing album "Back To The Light". I loved it as soon as it was released, many years ago. Very touching and, ultimately, exactly as Brian is as a man. Also attended to the concert in Buenos Aires; it was so emotive, that I cried. What can I say, love the man !

Brian I love you forever. No sabes como amo a Queen y a Freddie en especial....

Yes well Brian, you are now a Sir...!!!!

Such a nice modest guy on top of all his achievements, amazing. Also, note his eloquence and soft spoken voice. Hard to catch him say “ehm” even once.

Brian May is my favorite celebrity because he is an incredible human being yet so humble
