2000.02.DD - Japanese Radio - Telephone Interview with Brian May
[...]
Brian: So, like, last week, I was in Los Angeles to play on the Guns N' Roses record. It's very interesting.
Hikaru: Wow!
Brian: Yeah. Something very nice and different. But, hum... I just went on the plane. And I took my guitar with me. And they met me the other end. And they said "Why you brought your original guitar?" And I said "yeah" [when I] play some[thing] important, I always wanna play on [this] guitar.
Hikaru: Yeah. It sounds like a vocalist type attitude toward music. Because, like, we, we come, as a singer, I can't change my vocal codes, like, another vocal code. Just, you know, and a lot guitarists, like, have many many guitars. And they can always change. But, that's special...
Brian: Yeah. Yeah. I very seldom play anything else. My guitar... it's funny you say that. Because I always wanted my guitar to be a voice. That was kind a my dream that the guitar would have that expression that you would feel like someone was singing to you.
Hikaru: Yeah. That's what I always felt from listening to your music.
Brian: Great.
Hikaru: Yeah.
Brian: I'm very glad. Yeah, that's the way I want my guitar to be, you know. I was lucky to find that.
Hikaru: Yeah. Wow...I didn't know you could hand make guitars like that.
Brian: (laughs) Well, not many people do.
Hikaru: Yeah. (laughs)
Brian: We put a lot of time. It took us two years to make the thing.
Hikaru: That's special.
Brian: Yeah, it...it's special (laughs)
Hikaru: When is the Guns N' Roses thing coming? Is that gonna be out soon?
Brian: Yeah, well, it's a long time project. They'd been really..., from the inception I think it's 5 years since they started making the record. But they made many many many tracks. And now they've chosen just a few they want to be on the first new record. And I think it's very good stuff. I was very impressed, Axl is singing fantastically. I mean, actually such a unique sound and style. I don't know if you know his work very much. But..
Hikaru: Yeah, yeah, I'm their fan too, yeah...
Brian: Yeah, it's very passionate and very... very exciting, you know. And I was happy to play some stuff on that. I think it will be out on...,they talked about spring, I think, you know, late spring probably and maybe they can tour in the summer.
