Brian May God Save the Queen - Buckingham Palace 2002

[AderesDevorah]

Queen, apolitical?

Just check out some of their song titles...

'Party' - Yes, but which party, eh?

'Chinese Torture' - A reference to the current global economic crisis?

'Put Out The Fire' - Possibly an anti-London Riots statement?

'Tear it up' - Surely a reference to the ballot paper?

I love a facetious Monday evening...

[MrLaserprint]

what this needed was jimmy page and david gilmour playing with him

[Tokyorosebiz]

CHECK OUT THE DIAMOND JUBILEE BY TOKYO ROSE IT'S SOMETHING NEW FOR THE ROCK SCENE

[ElAreira83]

Unfortunately some people do not know when it's time to shut up the fucking mouth! Unbelievable!

[Ketston]

1:28 Roger Taylor: wait, isn't that my gong? lmao

[toughtony22]

1:18 hi there roger

[thebruderw77]

It's so fucking cool....

[oldskewlgamer96]

@EricSHinton What is your deal, man? Disrespecting both Freddie and Brian in the same comment...if you love Hendrix so much more, stop wasting your time calling this video gay and watch Hendrix! Get a grip, man. No one is making you watch this.

[65adam1998]

58 people have no penis :/

[65adam1998]

why cant that annoying woman in the background just shut up?? >:-(

[Paul8820]

Brian save the USA from shit music like Justine Bieber and Lil Wayne.

[AderesDevorah]

Oh, fucking Hell...

Somebody should have calmly walked across the roof and sawed his guitar in two... Anything to stop the awful madness!

Without a doubt, the biggest pile of corporate, cheesy, royalist, brown-nosing, shite that I have ever had the misfortune to encounter...

(It's over... just keep telling yourself... It is over... (shuddering))

[Stratocaster21st1994]

@AderesDevorah Your mad. Why not celebrate the Queens jubilee with something Britain is famous for i.e Music. Brian may is undoubtedly when of the most talented and original guitarists of the 20th century.

[AderesDevorah]

@Stratocaster21st1994

Hey, I loved Queen (the band, not the ruddy monarch), but this just made me wince. I'm sorry. I truly am. When I recall May and his marvellous guitar work, I simply do not want to go anywhere near Buckingham Palace.

But, yes, a great man indeed...

Rock HAS to keep clear of the establishment. WELL CLEAR. Just look at John Lydon selling butter on TV. Barf bag, please!

[FreedomFighterUK]

@AderesDevorah 'John Lydon selling butter on TV' It's far worse for John Lydon as he was (or at least claimed to be) an anti-establishment, anarchistic revolutionary. I don't recall Brian May or Queen being particularly anti-establishment, I don't think they espoused anything remotely anti-establishment, they're pretty much apolitical.

[paulthepill]

100% fucking naff....

[RC4LIF3]

Golden Had Brian May diamond has JLS WTF!

[2349DF]

The greatest moment in musical history!

[SonofDurgesuth]

This years display will be the Kosovian dance troop playing bongo drums with Abu Hamza comedy drag act. Lots of gay multiculturalism acts warming up for the ultimate PC correct olympic games puff parade....

[locsman]

wheres freddie?

[GothicAnimeAngel]

@locsman in heaven

[FWM4Ever]

Yep loved this. Shame about the voiceover

[EricSHinton]

This is about as gay as Freddie Mercury himself. I'll stick jimi Hendrix and zakk Wylde playing one of the greatest songs ever written, the star spangled banner........

[SamuelEllmer]

@EricSHinton What is wrong with you?

[itskirstybetchx]

Wonder what they'll do this year :D

[peyotecactus]

The Queen is a German Vampire

[337QUEEN]

oohh brian!!!!

[TheAnimeloverartist]

EEEPPPIIICCCNNNEEESSSSSS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!LONG LIVE QUEEN!!!

[MissSixtiesPennyLane]

OMG WILL THAT GERMAN WOMAN SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET HIM PLAY!!

[TheAnimeloverartist]

@MissSixtiesPennyLane EXACTLY!!

[MultiSilversky]

great Brian!!!! Queen xever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NLRoadKill]

Brian Save the Queen :)

[KRaGG101]

that's why I hate watching official things on German TV ... they just can't SHUT THE HELL UP!

[sammullins963258741]

The lowest moment in rock history.

[MrBear121]

@sammullins963258741

no way, its a celebration of all things british!

its the noble combination of the conservative and the revolutionary!

surely its one of the greatest moments of rock? EVEN THE QUEEN admits that rock has had THE greatest impact on british popular culture if she has one of britains greatest guitarists ever playing on her jubilee?

[giancarlacipolletta]

great!!!



[calichocofudge]

Indeed! Only Brian May can do that!

and perhaps he's the only one who is allowed to play on top of London!

Best anthem ever!

[leahrockstar]

He's the best, but I did think this was a cringing moment.... and still do.

[929292matt929292]

what a cheesy sad bastard. how dreadful is this. only virgins will like this shit.

its 2002 get a fucking hair cut. dickhead.

[nirvanapearljam1]

God save the queen

The fascist regime

They made you a moron

Potential H-bomb

[takemybreathawayok]

@nirvanapearljam1 idiot. In 1939, Europe surrendered to the Nazis. Britain was left isolated and yet did not surrender to the fascist regime of Mussolini in Italy, Franco in Spain, and Hitler in Germany.

Maybe its about time you screw your brain with some facts because the more your speak the more moronic you appear and sound.

[beansterman1998]

The talking ruined it....

[Lucsia95]

This makes me WANT to be British. But the next one MUST be Matt Bellamy. Love Brian, love Queen, love Muse and love England. Thanks for the great musicians.

[indgiu]

shameful appropriation of one of rocks icons to sell the monarchy to the people...

[Doomsls]

@indgiu as opposed to Mariah Carey singing the American national anthem? Its not selling us anything, its just a kickass version of a historic song

[indgiu]

@Doomsls on top of buckingham palace...

[dimitriroebuck]

@indgiu So?

[blownglasslide]

God save Brian May

[merlimax]

Brian May.. The greatest guy I have ever had the pleasure to shake hands with. A truly humble man who knows who he is and is proud of his art. Can you imagine how proud he must have felt standing on the top of Buck House playing our National Anthem!! I noticed that he was not using his own May Red Special but was using one of his copies.. Which I am proud to say .. I also own.. Long live Sir Brian of May

[Paperbackgaming]

@merlimax Also... Dr. Brian May.

[64epiphonejack]

Dont understand why talentless wankers comment on here saying brian may is shit. Probs all justin bieber lovers

[Paul8820]

@64epiphonejack Most of us American's have been brainwashed by mainstream pop garbage like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and Lil Wayne. I'm not one of them.

[64epiphonejack]

Artists like jimmy page brian may slash and lemmy make us british proud (:

[Baalund]

Brian: May God Save The Queen in Buckingham Palace year 2002?

Sure

[poohead2311]

Brian May, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix or Slash? Who's your favourite? So hard to choose...

[thetracksofmytears1]

EPIC

[QueenFelipe1]

Brian May é um monstro na guitarra.Brian May Forever

[xItsAlicex]

The Queen was totally rocking to that.

[julyqovop]

good smile Brian:D

[craigfromnewcastle]

I think it's deserved recognition for the unique and special band which, "Queen" were.

Well done Dr May.

[WestBritWatch]

@McBlaggs I simply told someone to stop insulting his German queen :)

[kamikatze4u]

Mann, die Frau soll still sein....!!!

[JsRf13]

This is for England what Jimi Hendrix did for America

[WestBritWatch]

@JsRf13 Only Hendrix was rebellious, this was servile and tacky

[JsRf13]

@WestBritWatch exactly, both guitarists reflecting their respective countries ;]

[putty1994]

@WestBritWatch fuck you!

[666sexykitty]

That foreign bitch needs to shut the fuck up

[GoldeenRock1992]

I'm not from England but this is very emotional :')

[astcommando]

shut up bitch :D

[kavorka75]

@astcommando That's the Queen speaking, surely?

[Blatch643]

good old Brizer!

[siobhanroach]

GERMANY RUUUUULES>>>>RAMMTEIN FUR IMMER...Screw Brian May, he's shit

[Legoworks5]

Goose bumps on my goose bumps

[nv7103]

one of THE greatest moments in rock history. Simply the right choice for the occasion, Brilliant and may never ever be matched in our lifetime.

[themightychickens]

STFU GERMAN CUNT, BRIAN IS PLAYING!

[WestBritWatch]

@themightychickens German cunt? stop insulting your queen.

[AmandaGaGa2010]

BEST BRITISH GUITARIST Playing To THE BEST National Anthem ON HRH QUEENs rooftop!!!........Truly AMAZING!!!!!!!>>>>ALL HAIL BRIAN MAY!!! .......AND God Save OUR Gracious QUEEN!!! xx

[thehubbucks]

MY GOD, ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS IN THE WORLD, STANDING ON THE QUEEN'S HOUSE, PLAYING THE BEST NATIONAL ANTHEM IN THE WORLD - IF THAT DOESN'T SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE, NOTHING WILL!!!! TRULY AWESOME!

[nicofeder]

0:29

[torriel2]

F--- german talk when legend play hymn

[blackrockdude1]

SWEET !! Dr. Brian May is one of I believe the most overlooked & underexposed guitarist of the last 40 yrs.. Yeah,he got a little bit of notice,but i don't think it was enough. Dr. May's melodies stand alone in a class by themselves. Also with the help of digital delays & Echoplexes, he makes the guitar sing like a choir. He is the master of harmony. Dr. May is EXTRAORDINARY !!

[Nislo12]

wow.

[tango280581]

Legend

[laserblack]

freebird!

[Tzmeeen]

Hope they get Brian May to do this at the Olympic Games 2012 in London..

[DeathReave]

fuck yeah! brian!!!!

[xXSamtheGamerXx]

If this was for the golden... whats gonna happen for diamond

[rambo483]

Thats just epic.

[BenPugh72]

Makes you proud to be British!

[tijmenvs25]

@BenPugh72 Even when I'm not British XD

WHen I here this song, I wished I was :D

[HowWolo]

wish i were right now, im only french...suck :(

[ferdinandsouz]

@HowWolo To be French is much better than to be British.

[mr9396]

@ferdinandsouz. AHHAHA, no it isn't. We woop your ass in every war.

[ferdinandsouz]

@mr9396 "We" who? You fought in the war? Dont be a loser living only the past of your ancestry. Make some difference in your own present. And.. I'm not from France LOL Greetings to you.

[mr9396]

@ferdinandsouz. Living of the past of your ancestry? Yes, I do. I remember who has gone before me, and who hasn't, to secure freedom. And unlike the Germans, who have genocidal guilt, or the french, who have a poor track record, Us British have a bloody amazing history. And anyway, France just lost it AAA rating, so.....

[HowWolo]

@ferdinandsouz why s that

[hogalog]

@ferdinandsouz yep, french tanks can reverse faster.

[nickofzo]

purple haze

hells bells

all right now

johnny be good ..

:D

[jelledegitaarman]

@nickofzo Johnny B. Goode

[nickofzo]

@jelledegitaarman oke oke oke haha

[Aviation94]

i love it how roger taylor doesn't seem to know what he is doing! XD

[XeroChicken91]

@1:26

Roger: HOW COME HE GOT THE BIG ONE???

[Planetenbewohner]

Muss diese dämliche Tussi ständig dazwischen quatschen?

Hat die keinen Respekt vor dem ultimativen Gitarrengott!

[AnnieVictory]

How could this woman keep talking, while the God is playing the guitar? I can't say a word, when I'm listening to this....

[FabyWTF]

Only Brian May can do that.

[mbg615]

@FabyWTF you are so right on that only Brian May !

[michel62230]

queen for ever !!!!

[roymedhurst]

fake

[dannybazzer123]

@roymedhurst What? Fake? Ahaha

[version1990]

I think it's rude and un-cultural to speak during a national anthem. Even if you don't like the anthem or the country, you could at least show some respect.

[royraaijmakers]

this is epic in at least 10 ways!

[MrFly78]

Shivers.

[Usurper99]

Sir Brain May, Knight of the Realm.

[nordhorny]

@Usurper99 "Sir Brain May, Knight of the Realm"

- not quite, CBE is one below that entitlement.

[Usurper99]

@nordhorny I stand corrected.

[nordhorny]

@Usurper99 Good man, take care.

[jacobbirdy128]

Cheesiest thing Ive ever seen :L

[DiscoverBMX]

I cant believe i have the same name (first and last) as this legendary guitar icon. Brian May is seriously my hero! :')

[necroshade120]

brian may is a legand and deservs more than i knighthood but i do agree

[gangbangabrc]

SHUT THE FUCK UP, WOMAN!!!

[Halfdan1]

I'd fire the director, that girl, everyone stupid enough to yap during that performance. News reporter egomaniacs that feel like they have to be talking all the time.

Idiots!

But on a positive note that is the ultimate guitar moment for the ultimate guitarist.

[MinorHeadstorm]

this makes me fucking cringe!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh somebody cut off my ears. Brian may you are a prick.

[mavericksf16]

That was remarkable!

[FilmSuperCreations]

why wasn't Roger up there with him

[graysonbreeden]

Brian May God Save the Queen - Buckingham Palace 2002

I just call it The Nipple Freezer.

[lordinho77]

Brilliant.....a fast version of We will rock you would have gone down a treat!!!

[MrRobChuck]

@Mozilla345 yeah um.........dont you mean three?

[thiagoeleo]

GOD SAVE BRIAN MAY XD



[66shashin]

this is god playing the guitar

[smile06606]

Guitar God

[drummer4theperish]

SIR Brian...absolutley!!!

[jimmyjamjar10101]

Boy that would hav been tricky timing wise! Would hav had to hav concentrated on his ear piece and not the sound from the stage cause of the delay due to distance!

[Alilrebelchick]

Beautifully done!

[Kalabanano]

Lol I love how Roger's just standing there just picking at the xylophone looking completely confused

[xoxDifference]

@Kalabanano It's a tympani drum xD

[masercot]

The Red Special...

[Ahead5ABC]

Goosebumps. All 608,349 times!

[TheLegoman1010]

god im proud to be british like him

[Ahead5ABC]

The man is a Rock God!

[TSconspiracy]

Brian May has one of the most unqiue sound and styles of playing.

[brifacta]

Fancy waking up to this every morning!

[plutao]

next year is the Diamond Jubilee and the best gift to the Queen is a solo like this

[haitipi]

They should play that every morning, right there at Buckingham Palace. 8:00 Sharp, everyday.

[BALGABDZEU6]

simply amazing the Dr. Brian May, he stills been the best, he's awesome i wish could met Brian

[Jock0112]

How I wish i was that cameraman! Brian May = Legend!!

[PauseForGames]

Someone shoot that German so I can fap to Brian May in peace.

[66shashin]

SIMPLY MIND BLOWING

[brifacta]

I heard Brian had a bet with Prince Philip.

Legend has it that the Duke told Brian that he would go for one day without insulting anyone and if he did so Brian had to climb through the manhole and play on the roof.

Brian thought it was a sure thing.

The duke had a toothache on the day and therefore could not talk.

Thats how Brian ended up on the roof.

God save the Queen

Hello from Tasmania (Commonwealth of Australia)

[JoeBari81]

Shout your face you crazy jornalist! Let me hear God playing! I know who they are! Even if I didn't, I don't give a damn about your conclusions! Respect and silence while Sir Brian May is reproducing the sounds of Heaven!! :P

[Broons2112Bane]

Damn, that never gets old. I recently started listening to Rush and left Queen behind, then you see something as epic as this and it just brings you back!

[1A157]

Brian May for knighthood thumps up if you agree!!

[Mozilla345]

@1A157 Do not forget roger, and john, and posthumosly give it to Freddie

[Mozilla345]

@1A157 no all the 4 fucking members.

[barricader6]

@1A157 He's already a CBE...

[plutao]

@1A157 yes Dr. May is Sir May CBE

[1A157]

@plutao Sir Dr Brian May CBE

[plutao]

@1A157 Thanl you by correct me. in my opinion all four membrs of the group are ttully sir's

[nordhorny]

@1A157 "Sir Dr Brian May CBE"

- the CBE does not permit the holder to be called 'Sir'...it is Dr. May.

[banfrancesco]

sono commosso

[awfulguitarplucker]

@banfrancesco doveva esserci Freddie a cantare l'Inno,insieme a Brian

[MightyJak555]

I love both Queens :)

[winfieldstudios]

[bfmvFan1220]

as jimmy page was used to show the passing of the olympics to london its only fair that brian gets to do the opening or my dream brian and jimmy opening the olympics

[MANUKEV62]

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

This just proves that Brian May actually owns the Buckingham palace.=D

[Stiletto92]

this is so lame, shame on you brian

[playingforbritain]

@Stiletto92 you have insulted my country. shame on you.

[Stiletto92]

@playingforbritain it is also my country, and shame on IT for having what is possibly the most boring national anthem in the world

[playingforbritain]

@Stiletto92 yes, because all the rest are a bag of laughs.
