I'm hopeless at playing scales. Try and be instinctive first and analytic afterwords, although it's good to study the theory of music.

I spent 20 years of my life building up Queen, and now Im spending years of my life trying to get away from it.

There are times when I flick through magazines and think I'm in danger of becoming a prisoner of my own hair.

To my mind Keep Yourself Alive was never really satisfactory. Never had that magic that it should have had.

My children hate me being such a big star. It's very hard for them to have a father who is always in the public eye.

I've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now.

I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway.
