Queen Deep Dive: the "White Queen" walks...

Sad, pleading, wanting and longing. "White Queen (As It Began)" is one of Queen's best ballads, and one of my favorite Brian May compositions. We're still in Moody May territory as we go through the White Side of Queen II. This is gorgeous and elaborate, with medieval tones, string-like guitars, and haunting backing vocals surrounding Freddie's tender performance. Find out why Brian's acoustic guitar solo has such a distinctive sound, and what made the live performances so special during the instrumental solos.
