Queen guitarist Brian May says that he has rocked out to his band’s song “Bohemian Rhapsody” – much like the characters in the comedy Wayne’s World – in a car before. Speaking with BBC, May said the scene was familiar enough to him and Freddie Mercury. “I didn’t know Mike Myers,” recalled May, “but he rang me up out of the blue and said, ‘We’ve done this amazing sequence in our new film – can we have your approval?” “I took it around to Freddie, who was not in a good state at that time. He was confined to his bed, but I took it round and played it to him and he loved it. Strangely enough, the humor in it was quite close to our own. Because we did that kind of thing in the car, bouncing up and down to our own tracks!” The song, originally released in 1975, would go on to top the charts once again. May adds that he’s never tired of the cut. “You can’t complain that people want to talk about it all these years later. I still enjoy hearing it. If it comes on the radio, I’ll turn it up and listen. But no air guitar. I’m too old for air guitar now.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
