He Will Rock You!

He's the guy who wrote many Queen classic songs,

including this one that has a fantastic guitar ending!

Did you know that the guitar is the only instrument

in this song, besides the voices, hand claps and foot

stomps? Also, the guitar was handmade by Mr. May

and his father from an old wooden stove! True story!
