Paul Rodgers is the perfect choice for singing a song like this.
Apart from that, jams like this are fun to watch, but musically mostly not very interesting or, more likely, a mess. It's not a matter of the more big names put together, the better the music, I'm afraid.
@MrENGLISHBULL he does still have a great voice, no doubt! But how the hell can he not know the lyrics of this song, considering his age and background?
@FatBrianMayFan, and thank goodness Brian's not playing a Stratocaster. His Red Special has given us many glorious sounds over the years. Although guitarists have certainly found a wide variety of sounds in the Fender Stratocaster, there's NOTHING like Brian May's guitar sound.
I cant believe mark knopfler wasnt part of this. he's famous for playing a red fender strat, fender have also produced a mark knopfler strat in their fender artist range.
What's Brian May doing there? He doesn't even play a Stratocaster! He wanted one, but he couldn't afford so he built his own guitar. And he's playing it here, too.
kinda surprising that Paul Rodgers didn't know all the lyrics, had to keep looking at the paper on the floor, even messed up a couple times. Still a great version!
im surprised eric clapton isnt in this given the strat has been his preffered choice of instrument for forty years plus.i guess maybe touring shedule or something like that
@BubblyKidLvsMusic224 He played a strat during his performance earlier in the show, and Get him off the stage ? he's just as good as anyone else up there and in my opinion better than a few.
Are you sure Amy Winehouse is playing here ?... I saw Andy Fairweatherlow (at 1' on the right, the fellow with suit, glasses and white strat) but you didn't noticed him. Nevertheless, wonderful channel you've got here, thanks a lot !
Yep, Joe's a great slide player, but like someone else said Ronnie co wrote the song. But I still prefer Joe, though his tone was a tad off, but probably to be able to stand out from the 15 guitar players
TurtleRocker12 Disrespectful? He didn't know the rules meant that he wasn't playing a strat like everyone else on stage. You're preaching to the choir when you talk to me about about Brian May and the whole history behind his guitar. You forget what this was about "Fender Strats" and not the "homemade Fender copy show". It's too bad you read that into the comment but I guess there's a lot of that going on here on YouTube from the posts I've seen.
They should put the shredders with the non-shredders like Gary Moore with Albert Lee together and the others separate (kind of like orchestra string sections). It would just provide more cohesiveness to the overall sound. The same can be said for bassists (why didn't they give Tal Wilkenfeld a call, and what were they thinking?) I guess Jeff Beck didn't want to hand her over, plus Fender would have to give her one of their basses. A very good performance, but Brian May didn't know the rules.
Brian May always wanted a strat when he was younger but could have never afforded one in a million years so he and his dad built the guitar he plays (the red special) but he respected leo fender more than a lot of us could understand so i don't think it makes it any less special he's playing his own guitar .... the one who didn't know the rules was Amy playing three songs ...painful - three more than i wanted to hear
Your disclaimer is perfect! I can't think of a better way to keep a video up on youtube when groups like WMG and EMI keep being fuck heads and removing great performances. P.S. I know Amy Winehouse played this show but I don't see her in this performance.
EMI is starting to relax a bit ( I think). I had some DCMA's against me when I started the channel, and opened a dialog with EMI with my points of why a fan site does more good than harm for revenues, a bit risky but... They dropped the DCMA's and have since left me alone, which is probably as good as it gets...lol
@neobob187 She performed a couple of songs earlier in the set , I'm not sure you could call it singing, she mumbled the lyrics and looked completely trashed. This was a little before her breakthru.
Sure looks like Annie Clements from New Orleans on Fender bass...whoever she is her name wasn't mentioned...I think she tours with some country band these days...Ron Wood was born cool...what a natural...
Yep, that's me. Can't believe I was onstage with these guys. I now play bass with the country band Sugarland. The fact that I got to go to London and play with these guys is the sickest ever...
That must have been way fun, hanging out backstage with all of them would be the best ever! I apologize your name was not in the video description, it showed up on the video credits, but not on the artist listing for some reason. Been corrected now. Very cool to have you post a comment here!
Thanks for posting this! Yes, getting spend several days rehearsing with those guys was one of the experience for the rest of my life. Everyone was so cool. We were all having so much fun. It was awesome!
Мне интересно, почему Брайн Мэй не мог купить себе стратокастер? Он вроде нормально обеспечен... ( I wonder why Brian May can not buy a Stratocaster? He also has money that would get this tool! )
2) It's definitely influenced by a strat - 3 single coils, the knobs, the trem. The only thing more flattering then copying something is to make a tribute to it, I guess.
Rozq87, you don't know who Brian May is?? Where have you been. Also, that "some guitar" is one of the most famous guitars in world. Google "red special" and you shall be enlightend.....
