Brian May - Another World Tour (1998)

Quite a few changes compared to BTTL tour - the main being that Cozy Powell with his powerful drumkit was replaced by Eric Singer with this small shitty kit

Percussion

Pearl kit consisted of two 22" x 18" bass drums, one 14" x 6,5" Eric Singer signature snare drum, 12" x 8" and 13" x 9" rack toms, 16" x 16" & 18" x 16" floor toms. Cymbals were 19" Z Crash, 14" Hi-hats, 20" Ride, 16" Trash and 13" Custom Hi-hats, all Zildjian. Drumsticks were Zildjian - 16", .620 diameter, type B2.

Bass guitars

Neil most likely played a custom Sei bass (not Ibańez or Aria as we had previously thought). He had a black one (same he used on Back To The Light tour), a white one, a yellow one and possibly some more colours :-) I don't know when he switched them, for example in Prague he used mainly the black one and had the white one for his bass solo.

Guitars

Brian's main guitar was the Red Special. He also used his Greg Fryer replicas for the first part of the concert. Those excellent replicas look and sound exactly like the Red Special, it was impossible to recognize them at that time (before Brian put a sixpence into the head of his Red Special). Jamie used a Fender Stratocaster (second photo), then another Fender (third photo) and a Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar (fourth and fifth photo - he used it in On My Way Up, Another World and his short guitar solo during the band introduction). Brian's acoustic guitar was Collings (last photo) - the good thing about that one is that one can distort it and it sounds like a Stratocaster electric guitar (like Brian often demonstrated during his "guitar story" in AW concerts).

Keyboards

Spike had several keyboards. One of them was probably a Studio 9000. No idea about the rest, I guess he used the 1998 current Roland and Yamaha releases.

Quote

Brian (1998): "I started off with an acoustic guitar, but I couldn't stand it not being plugged in. So I eventually plugged it into an amp in a box and wore earpieces instead of having monitors so I could crank it up. It sounded like a Stratocaster through a Marshall - it sounded big. Steve is also a magnificent drummer in a completely different way from Cozy and I found I was doing lots of different things on this last little tour. I had this little Collings acoustic plugged into an AC-30 through a treble booster - the whole deal - so it sounds massive bit it's in a box. It's great. People are going: "What's happening? He's playing this little twangy acoustic thing but this big, overblown sound is coming out."
