Full name:
Philip Neil Murray
What bands and projects are you working on at the moment?
Peter Green (ex-Fleedwood Mac), Brian May - bits of recording , waiting to
write a record with Black Sabbath
Are you going to work with The Brian May Band again?
I hope so - Brian wants to keep the same line-up when he tours in 1997
(maybe with different backing singers)- I hope it doesn't clash with other
projects.
What are the best bands you have been involved with?
Whitesnake 1978-82 -went from small clubs to big arenas, and had some
very funny times. BRIAN MAY BAND - the most civilized and classy situation
I've worked in.
What is your favourite Brian May Band song?
Love Token/Headlong
What is your best gig with the Brian May Band?
Both gigs we did in Madrid - great audiences
And the worst?
Santiago, Chile - lots of technical problems with Brian's equipment
Do you like Queen music?
Of course
Any favourites?
Killer Queen, Radio Ga Ga, These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Did you ever meet Freddie?
Sadly, no
What did you think of him?
Very talented, flamboyant, strong-willed. He was a great singer and frontman -
irreplaceable
What is Brian like to work with?
He likes everything to be as good as it can be, which is how I like
it, though perhaps our taste in music isn't identical. He has his emotional
ups and downs, and sometimes doubts himself unnecessarily. Very nice person.
Do you enjoy playing as part of the S.A.S. Band?
Most of the time, though the Bottom Line is not very enjoyable for me as a
bass-player because of the sound on stage. Getting a bit bored with the same old songs.
Who are your favourite groups and musicians?
Jeff Beck, Eric Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Toto, Eric Clapton - I like bits
of every style of music, and I get bored with anything if I hear it too often.
Is there anything you would especially like to do, or work with?
Get back to being slim! I'd like to work with Cindy Crawford, but unfortunately
she doesn't have a band!
Thanks Neil, for answering our questions.
No, thank you!
