In music itself, Brian May is brilliant not just as a musician, but as an engineer and a scientist. What other 17-year-old's self-made guitar is recognized as something like the Mona Lisa or Starry Night of guitars? And married to the many innovations in the instrument itself are the electronics (starting with out-of-phase pickups) and in live shows going through one bank of amps playing the live guitar, a delay on one side, and a double delay on the other. He actually has single notes in sequence become chords because of the delay that brings the three together. To do this you have to have great timing to execute it, but to even try to execute you have to engineer the electronics first on the basis of understanding audio just as a phenomenon for scientific understanding and audio as music in an acoustic space. I have a friend who asks questions like, who is better? Jimmy Hendrix or Brian May? My answer is yes. At this level of mastery, comparisons are out of place, make no sense. It's like asking who was better: DaVinci with the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh with Starry Night or Picasso with Guernica.

At the end of this interview Brian was clearly referring to renowned young UK actor Ben Whishaw, as both he and his bandmate Roger Taylor were (for some bizarre reason) really keen to get him for the part of Freddie at the time. However, I believe that Whishaw would've been totally wrong for the role for several reasons. Firstly, Freddie was born of Indian descent and his distinctive features were very Indian, whereas Whishaw is a white caucasion British born actor who shares none of those features with him. Also, he is way too thin for the part and has completely different bone structure to Freddie. No amount of make-up or prosthetics could've turned him into a believable Freddie Mercury in a zillion years. While Whishaw is admittedly a very good actor, it still would've been the miscasting of the century. What's more, he doesn't even have the same speech patterns as Freddie nor share any of his offstage mannerisms, or any of his personality traits. Therefore, I feel very strongly that he would've been a huge disaster in the role had he had been cast. I was hugely relieved when he mutually agreed with the producers to leave the project. I also wasn't pleased at all with Rami Malek's performance as Freddie either, as I don't believe it even warranted a nomination for a Best Actor Oscar or any other awards for that matter, let alone winning them. His speaking voice was nothing like Freddie's My own personal choice for the role would've been up and coming Anglo-Indian actor James Floyd, who is not only a very accomplished actor himself, but he also happens to bare a naturally strong facial resemblance to Freddie, which could obviously have been further enhanced with various wigs and make-up and he is also in the right age range. To my mind, he would've perfect for the role, but sadly, it didn't happen that way. Ahh...well. That's showbiz for you.
