Queen's Sir Brian May reveals the band hated their first music video because 'it didn't feel rock and roll' and 'looked like something on ITV'


The Queen guitarist, 77, made the surprising admission on Queen The Greatest Special: Behind The Promo Videos on Friday.

Brian explained that they had wanted a video of themselves playing on a sound stage to send off to TV shows and to spread the word about their upcoming album so they asked some production staff at their record label. Brian recalled how, in 1973, as the band were preparing to release their debut album Queen, they were trying to get themselves featured on TV shows including The Old Grey Whistle Test and Top of the Pops. Brian's revelation comes after his wife Anita Dobson gave fans a health update after he suffered a stroke in September (pictured at Buckingham Palace last year)
