It's wonderful for me to see what 'We Will Rock You' has done. 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' have kind of transcended the normal framework of where music is listened to and appreciated - they've become part of public life, which I feel wonderful about.

At the moment the Queen stuff does sell really well, but there's no guarantee it'll go on forever

I just want to be able to play as fast as my brain goes, and my brain doesn't go all that fast.

I think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous.

Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear

George Harrison was a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous guitarist, and a wonderful example of what a rock star should be. I totally revered him as an innovator. He was always fresh, daring, magnificently melodic, full of spiritual quality, and totally conscious of the chord structure beneath the solo. And he had the courage to play simple. He never took refuge in effects, or tried to impress with speed. I hope he knew how much we all loved and respected him.

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.
