A Queen track has those big, thick, block harmonies.

I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis

For a time I didn't want to answer any questions about Queen. I'd like to be viewed as something alive and relevant, not some fossil.

Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star - they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much. We're very lucky that they seemingly connect with every generation.

I had this idea... I wanted the sound to sing and have that thickness but yet still have an edge so that it could articulate. So my dad and I designed the guitar... the one that was made from an old fireplace.

I go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I'm a weird kind of animal

What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
