In an interview with Classic Rock, Brian did not save on the compliments to the pupils, who were in Brazil only once, in 2019. He said:
“I wish I had listened to this song when I was a child. It’s a classic. It’s one of the best rock songs of all time. It was more heard in the United States than in the United Kingdom – it went unnoticed here, and should not have passed. I hope this is an opportunity for this song to really connect the whole world. The lyrics are very inspiring, I love the feeling it conveys.
Brian May and the comparison with the queen
May described The Struts as “an amazing band” and still risked comparisons with Queen. For the guitarist, the connection between the young artists and their own group is in Luke Spiller – to the point of understanding that colleagues “newcomers” carry the torch of their work.
“When working with Luke, I always think of Freddie [Mercury, vocalista falecido em 1991]. There are many similarities. Both have this unwavering belief. They have amazing voices, they are great composers, but they have that extra ingredient of: ‘I’ll do that, I’ll let the world come to me’. That’s what Freddie had, and that’s what I see in Luke. ”
THE STRUTS PARTNERSHIPS
In addition to Brian May, The Struts has already collaborated with Robbie Williams, Ke $ ha, Tom Morello, DEF Leppard, Paris Jacksonbetween others. Furthermore, “COULD HAVE BEEN ME” was rewritten in 2021 by Halsey For the movie’s soundtrack Sing 2.
