brian may - tie your mother down (with intro story) (live unplugged)

[@nicolasleblond279]

Needless to say, Brian is the best.

[@novache00]

I totally agree. Brian and Roger together without a singer would be phenominal. I always thought they should have done that all along. I enjoyed the time with Paul, he took the songs to a blusier side, but Brian and Roger are still "Queen", and I'd love to see them together in an "unplugged" type setting.

[@tatianaroveda]

Brian and Roger were true major talents- and Freddie watched them for a while, knowing he wanted to work with these guys. And he saw their music and heard what he wanted before he approached them when they were auditioning-Good going Freddie! #Brian May- #rated number 26 guitarist world wide.(RSTONE MAG)

[@kathygraham5371]

This unplugged version is the best yet!! It’s adorable! I love the jazzy blues story to go with this. It’s perfect, Bri!!!! This has always been one of my favorite songs but now it’s even better yet! I LOVE this one! I need to somehow save this so I can play it again and again! 😅❤😊😢😢

"He starts to play his guitar. I wonder how he manages this in his car"

[@tatianaroveda]

Great post.. Try Sleeping on the sidewalk from News of the world, and anything acoustic from Brian May-He finally has been recognized as one of the top 10 guitarists--

[@dbintheflesh]

I remember watching this at the time. Cannot believe it was 26 years ago. So good it became the first VHS that I ripped the audio from and put on CD. Glad it's immortalised online

[@henrydownes6301]

Brian Makes the Acoustic sound like Red Special ,unique sound and style

[@queenrocks77]

best thing I've ever stumbled across on youtube. Brian is so damn cool! thanks for the upload!

[@SwingRiots]

That was awesome. Paul Rodgers would have been awesome singing the song in this arrangement. I'd love Brian and Roger to do a stripped down semi-acoustic theatre tour actually...no new singer, just the two of them playing around loosely, maybe doing new arrangements away from the pressures of the "Queen" name.

[@belindamoloney]

I reckon Brian sounded heaps like Paul here. Magic

[@dianefowler8779]

Wow! I REALLY LOVE this one. Brian gets two gold stars, one for sexy, one for adorable. You can see he was having a great time with this one!

[@joopis16]

what a sound from that guitar!! brilliant!! he is the best!!!

[@FreddieMfan45]

Kickass! I love Bri in that shirt :p

[@tomfloriot8761]

Just amazing, the story behind the song was great

[@bobwallacejnr6852]

I had the single on 45 and used to play it on 33 to sound like a blues song. Fantastic

[@ceciledevigne-xe8xe]

Yeah! What a masterpiece!

[@jilljaynes5110]

Brilliant !!!

[@KillerrQueenSaveMe]

So much blues in that version, well, so much rock too... Anyway, so great version!!

[@dawsonrose8489]

This is the "alternate ego" of Brian May down to the ground

[@tatianaroveda]

Here's a little story for you guys...Brian brings TYMD into a whole new animal! #Loving it...here's some advice for you...#Spike Edney jams#Jamie Moses always smiles#the girls add the vocals and Brian writes, plays and tells us a story-He just slays it!

[@spice2436]

:d funny how he tell story:d great song with Brian May and musicians. Thaks for sharing:);)

[@Darragh1]

Not quite sure what I just watched, but it was pretty good! :)

[@rafagryta4677]

Maestro!!!.

[@andreachavez2117]

Wow...just...wow.

[@PlaYourSelF]

This is superb!

[@gageunit]

Awesome find :)

[@DavyMackNYC]

totally agree. We saw them in Hollywood and while I totally give Rodgers credit and appreciate what he did, my fave parts where when Roger or Brian sang.

[@DaveVarley-Queenmagic]

awesome version ,written in Tenerife many moons ago

[@davidmack4495]

wow...awesome

[@ilokivi]

Very well put together, the slow start sounds like a variation on the melody of "Get Back" by The Beatles but it works just fine.

[@alucinantte]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh! esa brian!!!! buena version :)

[@nicolasleblond279]

he just... does

[@wickedmcjagger7911]

Sounds like country song

[@eusouoryan]

Basically is a country song lol

[@waynewright6286]

Dr Rock.

[@jamesgriffithsmusic]

We are not worthy.

[@fakevideos6002]

Acoustic version sounds like Get Back by the Beatles. This song should only be performed electric guitar turned up to 11

[@newc1531]

Dreadfl Quality I have the orginal video of this from which ALL other boots out there were copied from...how about that...my mate Mike taped it on VH1 for me in 1998!! (how do I know - cos the first few minutes of this show are cut on my video and ALL other copies!!!)

[@Имбирнаяпеченька-ю6ь]

3:30

[@SuperZiggyCraft]

Brian kinda cheating the whole mtv unplugged thing if he’s just playing an overdriven acoustic lmao but i love it

[@ItsVictoriaG]

I mean, if anyone can do what they want at a VH1 Unplugged gig and get away with it, it would be Brian May!

[@linogalveias]

Nirvana also did it :D

[@belindamoloney]

This shits all over most unplugged versions

[@aisle9]

Guys, Brian May is a legend, but even he can't make an acoustic guitar sound like that. It was overdubbed with the Red Special later. Sorry.

[@musicalforce]

Isn’t he using a pickup on that acoustic?

[@richardhorley3561]

I was in the studio on the day this was recorded, I promise you he can!

[@Daniela_Germany]

Compare it with this recording: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKeYin6YeLmog6c According to the description, I very much doubt that THIS was overdubbed.

[@aisle9]

@@Daniela_Germany Absolutely no way that was overdubbed, but that recording sounds like an acoustic guitar and/or a violin. The VH1 recording sounds like a Red Special being played over an acoustic guitar. That's the difference. Now, I want to see a violin cover of TYMD, because that was great.

[@Daniela_Germany]

@@aisle9 I'm not really convinced... It's true that this recording here sounds a bit more like an electric guitar than the one at Big Mama Club, but I don't hear too much of a difference. Also, when he can make that little guitar sound like THAT (absolutely love it), why would there be a need to overdub it? But I'm not a guitarist, so maybe I'm unable to hear things properly. Any opinions by other people out there? :-) (TYMD guitar solo starts at 33:13 in the other video) Also, thinking of it...I can't really see Brian doing something like that. Overdubbing ok, but with another kind of guitar? He would consider it a kind of cheating.

[@wolfsamuels2357]

Why's he got an American accent? Cringe
