Happy 70th birthday today to astrophysicist and lead guitarist Brian May of Queen. With his home built electric guitar called the Red Special, May has composed some of rock most gigantic anthems, along with a plethora of other singles that have earned May status as one of the top ten guitarists ever in most polls. May is still going strong today with Queen as they continue to tour with Adam Lambert, 26 years after the death of Freddie Mercury. Watch May perform “Stone Cold Crazy” live at the Rainbow in 1974.
