Star Fleet Sessions: How It Began (VIDEO)

by Eric Senich — updated June 17, 2023 Leave a Comment

It all began with a phone call to Eddie Van Halen. Not long afterward, Brian May’s Starfleet project was ready for liftoff.

In a newly released video (above), May recalls the day he decided to get some of his LA-area musician friends to jam. The result was the forthcoming three-song EP collection released in 1983 titled “Brian May & Friends: Star Fleet Project”. The long-awaited reissue of that EP will arrive on July 14th.

Star Fleet Project is available to Pre-order NOW at VanHalenStore.com!
