Brian is a rocker but he really loves melody, and if not singing himself he plays as if the guitar is a voice. You can sing most of his soloes. His singing voice has a sweetness to it that blended just perfectly with Freddie's and Roger's. Nice reaction, Rory.

Brian wrote this song for the Ford Motor Company who asked him to write a song for a commercial. At first he said no, that is not what I do but then he saw the slogan Driven By You and a song popped into his head and he wrote this. I love this song. If I had a band and Brian was my singer, without even talking about his incredible guitar skills, I would feel like I hit the jackpot. He is a great singer but when you have Freddie, you might as well let him handle it. I think both Brian and Roger felt that way about it. Another good Brian song is (I Don't Want Nobody) Teasin' Around With Me. It is a cover but he nails it. Also Nothin' But Blue which he wrote the night before Freddie died. I didn't know the history on this song when I first heard it but the guitar solos are so emotive that just the music alone had me sobbing so hard I couldn't catch my breath and I had no idea why. I listened to it again the next morning and it had the same effect on me. I later I learned that he wrote it that night before Freddie passed away and it all made sense.

Brian dealt with depression so thinking about him writing Nothin’ But Blue the night before Freddie died just makes me cry

@@dianecourtney2724 When I heard that song, I didn't know any of that, I just thought I was listening to a Brian Solo Song. Still, the emotion of the guitarwork on that song hit me so hard.

YES - Sherry.. Teasin' Around is fantastic.. I always thought he wrote "Driven by You" for Freddie, and then perhaps converted it for the commercial? But I know you know a lot of Queen history, so perhaps I stand corrected.. which I happily accept..

Legendary drummer Cozy Powell also played drums for Black Sabbath & Whitesnake .. Sadly he was killed in a car accident! Saw Queen + Adam a couple weeks ago in L.A. and I must tell ya .. Brian and Roger were simply amazing & killin’ it! 🎸🥁💥

Almost unfair how much talent Queen had… each guy except Deaky could be lead singer in his own band …… and then they could all write number one songs … … and each one was a top notch musician✌🏼 Freddie had to go and die and leave us all miserably missing him and mess things up 😓 In the end Queen was an honest to goodness Real Rock n Roll Band !! ( who could do everything else too 🥰😊👑 ) Great reaction to a great song Rory 🌷

Ironically IMO, of the three of them. His album / sound, was the most popular / overall commercially successful. In terms of solo albums.

His and Freddie were both no 6 UK Gold This fir the ford adv was no 6 uk Tmlwky ( co written) no 5 uk It was debuted at Freddie tribute and on the album People may have thought it was fir the charity He released it a few minths later He must have been pleased with how they did and the album Im sure Freddie was disapointed with the reception of his singles Born to love you no 11 Living on my own didnt do well the video was banned It was remixed no more brothers after his death and was no 1 They trimmed and obscured the video Personally I prefered it with the added scatting
