Hammer To Fall

When Brian May from Queen issued his #playwithbri Hammer To Fall challenge I called up some friends and we made a video. It’s had such a HUGE impact that it ended up in Guitar World Magazine…

and even on Brian May’s own personal Instagram with an amazing note of appreciation for what we had created, (even if he never mentioned me name)…

I’ve been trying for days to find a way to post this incredible video in a suitable format for Instagram. This isn’t perfect – but hopefully it will transmit the colossal spirit of this clip. Rising to my challenge to #jamwithbri these guys took it to a whole new level – and then some. They made it into a feature film ! Of course Jeff Scott Soto is an old and dear friend, and a top artist, and has sung with us many times. But all these guys and gals are top level musicians whose work I know and admire. For me it’s a wild buzz – and the greatest compliment – that they would put all this work into taking up a challenge on my song. I feel totally honoured. And certainly humbled too – my GOD ! The soloing here ? Awesome. All the performances top line. And the production would shame many a six figure promo clip – I love the story! Watch and wonder !!! A million thanks to all you guys – and please send me some hashtags and handles to put on this. 💥💥💥💥you can se and hear this better ( and even in STEREO ! ) on my Soapbox at www.brianmay.com – or the original is on YouTube at https://youtu.be/8npUAH2T1Ow. —- Bri
