(Classic Rock) Brian May has put together a compilation album titled Air Guitar Anthems. The 3CD collection pulls together artists including Metallica, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Rainbow, Rush, Dio, Motorhead and Thin Lizzy.

May says: "It's an interesting discussion between a simple riff and a complex riff. Most of us think simple is great but there are definite exceptions like Message In A Bottle by The Police is the most incredibly complex thing but it sticks in the mind and it's obviously one of the greatest riffs of all time - it's actually got a great song written around it as well.

"A riff is a riff is a riff - and it's a mystical thing. Either it grabs you or it doesn't and some things can be quite involved or some things can be incredibly simple." Watch the trailer and see the tracklisting here.
