Ok, crowd....what's some of of your favorite Brian May riffs?

Jazz has dozens of great riffs...I love the main riff from "Dead on Time." I want to cover that song so bad but my bandmates just look at me like I'm insane.

Ogre Battle is at the top of my list but believe it or not, Freddie wrote that riff.

"Dragon Attack" riff and solo.

"Save Me" solo. One of his most heart-wrenching of all time.
