Talking Guitar: Jas Obrecht's Music Magazine recently posted a 41-year-old audio interview with Queen guitarist Brian May, in which he recounts the unique studio jam session that led to the creation of the blues-infused EP, Star Fleet Project. The interview, recorded in 1983, took place while the EP was still in its planning stages.

In the conversation, Brian explains the science-fiction-inspired theme of the project, highlighting how his love for the blues—particularly his admiration for Eric Clapton—shaped its sound. He also shares how his young son's enthusiasm for a Saturday morning TV show served as a major influence. Brian provides rare insights into working with Eddie Van Halen, reflecting on their collaboration outside of Van Halen.

Queen - I Want To Break Free (Tyrian Remix) [Instrumental]

[Intro]
Is this the true end? Is this just travesty?
Caught by their landslide, no escape from their decree.
Open your eyes, the trolls you will see.
I'm just an honest boy, I need no puppetry.
Because I'm outspoken, come, outspoken, go, voices high, spirits low,
Any way the hate blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

[Verse 1]
Mama, just spoke the truth,
Made a post against their stand, a digital salute, now it's grand.
Mama, the fight had just begun,
But now I've gone and stirred it all this way.
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make them cry,
If I'm not employed again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

[Verse 2]
Too late, my judgment's come,
Sends whispers down my spine, career's aching all the time.
Goodbye, Director, I've got to go,
Gotta leave the Beeb behind and face their show.
Mama, ooh (Any way the hate blows),
I don't wanna hide,
I sometimes wish I'd never been employed at all.

"Imagine a soaring, defiant, yet melancholic Brian May solo here"

[Verse 3]
I see a little shadow of their plan,
Oxbridge man, Oxbridge man, will you uphold the ban?
Troll-posts and leaking, very, very freaking me.
(Reithian!) Reithian, (Reithian!) Reithian, Reithian Figaro – complicito! (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But I'm just an autistic boy, nobody defends me.
He's just an honest boy, from a neuro-diverse family,
Spare him his voice from this hypocrisy!
Easy come, easy go, will you let me speak?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you speak!
(Let him speak!) Bismillah! We will not let you speak!
(Let him speak!) Bismillah! We will not let you speak!
(Let me speak!) Will not let you speak!
(Let me speak!) Will not let you speak!
(Never, never, never, never let me speak!) Ah!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
(Oh, Lord Reith, Lord Reith) Lord Reith, let me speak!
The establishment has a special hell put aside for me, for me, for me!
For speaking of genocide when I perceive it!

[Bridge]
So you think you can silence me and brand me with a lie?
So you think you can ‘other’ me and leave my career to die?
Oh, controllers, can't do this to me, controllers,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta their snare!
The media makes the Populist appear normal!
Just like in the thirties, in old Germany!

[Outro]
(Ooh, to stand for people)
(Ooh, yeah, love my neighbour, ooh, yeah)
Only truth now matters, anyone must see.
Only truth now matters...
Only truth now matters to me.
Any way the call blows... to fight back at any cost.

Brian Mightn't's Terrible Tango

What happens when one guitar god pays tribute to another… and it backfires?

In this episode, we dive deep into the surprising fallout between Eddie Van Halen and Eric Clapton — two of rock’s most legendary players. It all started with a jam session in 1983, featured on Brian May’s Star Fleet Project, where Eddie and Brian recorded a slow blues track called “Blues Breaker” — dedicated to Clapton himself.

But Clapton hated it.
He called it “horrible.”
He said Eddie and Brian “can’t play” the blues.
And he delivered a scathing verdict:

“If he was that tuned into me and missed that point… then he missed the whole point.”

This video explores the tension between technical brilliance and emotional expression, the strict “rules” of blues as Clapton saw them, and how a friendship built on admiration ended with hurt feelings, harsh words, and never speaking again.

We also revisit Dave Davies of The Kinks and his own complicated feelings about being imitated — including a jab at Eddie Van Halen’s version of “You Really Got Me.”

From tribute to tension, from respect to rivalry — this is the untold story behind one of rock’s coldest guitar feuds.

🎸 Featuring:
• Brian May’s Star Fleet Project
• “Blues Breaker” tribute
• Clapton's 1986 Musician interview
• Eddie’s 1995 Guitar Player interview
• Dave Davies on Van Halen’s Kinks covers
• Clapton’s philosophy on blues

Exclusively Van Halen: Clapton vs. Eddie + Kinks vs. Van Halen! The Truth Behind the Riffs! 6/26/25

🎸 Today on Talking Guitars – We Welcome Danny Gomez! 🎸
https://www.dirtyboy.co/

Get ready for an exciting episode as we sit down with Danny Gomez — acclaimed guitarist, gear designer, touring pro, and now the driving force behind Dirty Boy Pedals! From performing with legends like Brian May to reinventing one of the most iconic boutique pedal brands, Danny brings stories, insights, and serious tone knowledge to the show.

We’ll dive into his journey in music, the rebirth of Dirty Boy Pedals, and their latest creation — the Dirty Boy Preamp, built with his T.A.E. (Tube Amp Emulation) technology for authentic tube tone without the tubes.

If you’re into guitar gear, pro tips, and tone talk straight from the source, you won’t want to miss this!

Dirty Boy Pedals – Brand Overview

From Family Roots to Fuzz Legends
Dirty Boy Pedals was born from the vision of Alex Saraceno—father of guitar prodigy and former Poison guitarist Blues Saraceno. Known for their boutique craftsmanship and unmistakable tone, the original lineup—Afro Fuzz, Germanium Boy, and Buzzy Boy—earned a cult following for their rich, analog fuzz and boost sounds. These pedals found their way onto the rigs of John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Mike Scott (The Waterboys), Neal Schon (Journey), and George Pajon (Black Eyed Peas).

A New Era Under Danny Gomez
In 2024, Dirty Boy Pedals entered a new chapter when Danny Gomez—Madrid-based guitarist, gear designer, and collaborator with names like Queen, Brian May, Fender, PRS, and Orange Amplification—took the helm as CEO. Partnering with CTO Pablo Díaz de Rada and COO Martha García, Gomez brought production to Spain and began blending Dirty Boy’s fuzz-driven heritage with modern innovation.

Flagship Release: The Dirty Boy Preamp

Tech: Powered by Gomez’s proprietary T.A.E. (Tube Amp Emulation), delivering authentic tube-amp character in a fully analog format.

Features: Variac knob, true bypass, speaker-emulated output (modeled after a 4×12 Celestion Greenback cab), plus preamp and FX-loop compatibility.

Reception: Guitar World hailed it for achieving “impressive driven valve-amp sound without valves” and praised its versatility as a boost, amp transformer, or compact fly-rig.

Quick Facts

Founded by: Alex Saraceno

Heritage Models: Afro Fuzz, Buzzy Boy, Germanium Boy

Current Leadership: Danny Gomez (CEO), Pablo Díaz de Rada (CTO), Martha García (COO)

HQ: Spain

Flagship: Dirty Boy Preamp

With Gomez at the helm, Dirty Boy Pedals is thriving—keeping its analog soul intact while pushing into new sonic territory for the next generation of tone chasers.

Hi, I started out singing in the 60's. I played in several groups, made a few records. Never went fully pro just played youth clubs, pubs, and socials. 

I play a little guitar and piano just mainly chords and I write a few songs. I purchased a Tyros work station keyboard about 14 years ago and started recording many songs mainly covers. Hope you enjoy listening to some of them.

Lead singer of the band, Cinder Sky. Former lead singer of Johnny 9 + The Scream.
