Brian May Wanted To Join AC/DC

The Queen guitarist says that he's probably the "wrong size and shape" for the band, though

In an interview with The Independent, May revealed that of all of his band's contemporaries in the 70s he would like to have been part of AC/DC

"I’d have probably liked to be in AC/DC if Queen hadn’t existed,” he said. "But I’m the wrong sort of size and shape, unfortunately. Because it’s different from Queen. Queen were very eclectic – that’s the word isn’t it? – and we just trampled over every boundary that there was. But AC/DC are in a sense the opposite. They know their style and it’s incredibly pure and I have a great respect for that. And every single note they play is AC/DC completely.”
