Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of Brian May's first electric guitar?

Answer: Red Special

Believe it or not, Red Special was made out the wood from an old fireplace! Brian's parents couldn't afford to buy him an electric guitar, so he made one himself, using a six pence coin as a plectrum. Brian can be still heard using Red Special in many songs. It sounded so much like a synthesiser, albums had to bear the legend that none of the songs used them.

2. What was the name of the first band that Freddie Mercury played in with founder Bruce Murray?
