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

There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.

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.

From the beginning of Queen there was such momentum that I never had any time to do anything else. My energy was 95% focused on the band

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.

My mum says I wanted to be a surgeon, but I don't remember that. I think from the time I knew what was happening, I wanted to be a guitar player.

The Wedding March has a bit of a death march in it.
