While I don't necessarily agree with "The Invisible Man" as having one of the greatest solos of all time (if you want a weird one by Queen I find underrated, check out "Scandal") but it doesn't really get the credit it deserves either.

In my opinion, I suppose.

Totally agree. Though, I do believe Freddy Mercury gets the credit he deserves by pop culture.

Whereas on the other hand Brian May does not. He was and is one of my favorite guitarists. Also I saw him on the Cream reuinion DVD rocking out, so he gained even more respect from me for that.

Being humble, and digging other peoples music plays a big factor into whether or not I can respect/like you as an artist.

I saw Brian May play nine rows away from me. Paid something like $150 for the ticket, then money to get to and from Cleveland (5+ hours) and a hotel in the city.

Definitely worth it. Brian May is legitimately one of my idols. Lyrically, he was actually superior to Freddie Mercury - in my opinion, anyway - but so few of his songs were released by the band as singles, no one seems to care.

Poor Bri.

I love the solo in We Will Rock You.

Jimmy Page's Heartbreaker solo is godly.

Hell, my top 100 solos = Page.

İ totally agree. Queen was a magnificant band and their solos were so succesful. Almost like a march
