Just learned that Brian May, the guitarist, songwriter and occasional singer of the rock band Queen, has a degree in Mathematics and Physics and a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College. Respect!

Not to forget that he's a pretty high up muckamuck now too. Not bad for an oke that hacked a guitar together out of, inter alia, a fireplace mantel and bike valve springs. For a quick romp of a read :erm:, have a gander at his PhD thesis.

And he and his father built Red Special, the guitar he used. Also, John Deacon, who was also a trained electronics engineer, built the Deacy amp.

He has an Erdos (7) Bacon (3) Sabbath (1) number of 11 and is the only EBS with a sabbath of 1. I believe he may be the top musician on that list, although Greg Graffin could one day surpass him.
