    The most amazing thing for me about these two legends is that they’ve both managed to keep the same hairstyle for over 50 years
  • @samchoate1719
    Crazy how this unassuming "old man", Tony, is godfather to alllll of the heaviest heavy bands to come afterwards. His riffs are so iconic that they sound cliche now. Such a pioneer. Incredible
  • @Joe-yk9md
    I would pay more than a concert ticket just to watch these 2 legends jam.
  • @brianleslie19
    I love it how Tony and Brian are both well into their 70s but they still jam together like they’re teenagers.
  • @LPChipi
    I like how the producers said "we need another song" and Tony was like "sure, here is one of the most iconic rock riffs of all time, will that work?"
  • @greghicks5960
    I had no idea that these two legends were best friends. This video made my day.

    May soloing over paranoid is one of the coolest things Ive ever seen/heard
  • @rockgtr35
    It is so crazy to me that Tony lost those fingertips in a work accident and wore prosthetics for his whole amazing career. I don't think he gets enough credit for that alone. Most guys would have quit. I can't imagine playing guitar with prosthetic fingertips! It just blows my mind. What an amazing story of perseverance and determination.

    Dude....a record with these two legends together would be nuclear.
  • @jgeisler
    You can just hear that Brian May is playing. Such a signature sound.
  • @liampaul4218
    Two of the most influential guitarists ever, jamming. Oh how lucky we are 🖤
  • @mojobag01
    For those that aren't aware Brian plays on one Black Sabbath track (When Death Calls) and also on two tracks on the Iommi album (Goodbye Lament, Flame On).
  • @user-ri5fe7ti6i
    When Brian started soloing over Tony, I got goosebumps. 2 legends 🤘🤘
  • Brian's Red Special and Tony's SG blend together perfectly. Both guys are masters of their art.
  • @LOrealHardly
    Frankly, there's more quality, talent, love, power, style and charisma in this three minute video than there probably is in the entire top40 anywhere right now...!
  • @drewschrep
    These guys should put out an album and go on tour and play new AND old songs. They could call it Black Queen. I'd pay for that in a second.
  • @AstroSully
    Their tones mesh so well with each other! No wonder they were jamming for hours when they first met and became best mates 😂
  • @matejrantasa5532
    I almost cryed watching this two legends playing together. The way Brian commes in with the solo amazing!!
  • @NJTRAF
    That comment of "it's really hard to write a simple riff" is one of the most true statements you could ever hear
