Queen’s Brian May: I Would Have Liked To Have Been In AC/ DC Tuesday 27th March 2012 | Osh But the guitarist said he’s the ‘wrong sort of size and shape’ for Australian rockers. Instead he got to be in Queen, one of the biggest and most successful bands in the world! He said ‘Because it’s different from Queen. Queen were very eclectic- that’s the word isn’t it?- and we just trampled over every boundary that there was. But AC/ DC are in a sense the opposite. ‘They know their style and it’s incredibly pure and I have great respect for that. And every single note they play is AC/DC completely.’ May is set to have a Queen filled summer- the band are confirmed as headliners for the Sonisphere festival. American Idol runner up Adam Lambert will be taking the legendary Freddie Mercury’s place as the band’s front man. He said that Mercury would have approved of their plans with Lambert, who has been praised repeatedly for his vocal skills.
