Queen we will rock you we are the champions

So вЂњWe Will Rock YouвЂќ has become like, I donвЂ™t know, something which is traditional and goes back to the Stone Age вЂ“ and that makes me happy.вЂќ

The greatest compliment is when people think nobody wrote it, they just think it has always been there. вЂњThe thing I suppose I am most proud of is the fact the song has become part of public life, so when everyone goes, anyone goes thump, thump, clap, in any form whatsoever, thatвЂ™s what it is. Revealed in this exclusive interview, budding Brian May guitar aspirants can learn more of how the guitarist achieved one of the worldвЂ™s most recognized and distinctive solos of all time. I didnвЂ™t actually play it three times, I just played it the once and we duplicated it and put it on with sticky tape. So we copied the tape, we snipped it out, put three versions of that together, and thatвЂ™s what you hear at the end of the track. That one little riff stuck in my head and I thought thatвЂ™s the way to end the song. So I went back in and listened to it, and the bit that I really liked was something IвЂ™d stumbled on by accident. вЂњI just fished around, I could feel something inside and I didnвЂ™t really know what it was, I was just playing along to the feel of what was coming through my headphones. And in my memory, I think I went there only once, I did just one take.вЂќ

вЂњI could hear something in my head but I wasnвЂ™t really sure what it was. I didnвЂ™t want that, I wanted the whole song to be there and then comes the guitar solo out of nowhere.вЂќ вЂњSo I wanted to break all the rules and normally the guitar solo comes in the middle, and then you get back and have the last verse and wind the thing up.

вЂњI wanted the song to be non-standard, I wanted it to be exceptional in every wayвЂќ, he says.
