At least Brian admitted he's a hypocrite ;-)

We all called it months ago when Brian was ranting about those big electronic billboards he hates so much.

We all knew the new Queen album would be advertised on those very same devices.

He's owned up on his soapbox admitting that he was outvoted on this one. At least he put his hand up to this one - maybe now he realizes that money is money and they must do all they can to make this album a success. Which by the sounds of things so far - it will be!!

Roll on Sept 15th.

He didn't really, though, did he. He said that he was "outvoted"........

Still, the guy's an idiot when it comes to these little rants on his soapbox. After all, how many times *in the past* have Queen billboards been posted around the world and earnt BHM a substantial number of reddies? Was he complaining then?

*grins and lights a fag*

You're right! We all remember the massive marketing campaign for The Works and Kind Of Magic. I'm sure this album won't be any less heavily marketed.

I think Brian has gotten lost in an idealistic view of the world as his golden years have descended upon him.

Oh well - as long as he's happy I suppose :-)

Lets hope there won't be any rants from him about the new album once its out there!

Anyone know if they are doing a video for the C-Lebrity single?

They're using the Al Murray performance as a promo tool.

The biggest surprise is that Brian CAN be outvoted on such matters - I'd have thought he had a veto.

The cynic in me says he COULD veto it if he wanted to, but decided he would rather go for the commercial gain instead...

Either that, or his bandmates are really inconsiderate pricks. :P

Agreed.

I think he is very decent to post this. The toughest thing is always to admit one's failure publicly. And this time it's clearly a failure for his idealism. The silliest you can do is be cynical and hurt any man in such a case. But of course, that's what fan's are for... aren't they.

Agree...

Well done Brian.

Good thing we don't have those electronic billboards floating around here. Can't wait for the new album! No really, I can't wait until OCTOBER FREAKIN 28TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cofcofimportcofcof

that´s what I gonna do.

Fuck you people! I say ; the best promotion tool would be BRIAN MAY'S FACE, projected onto the moon.

That's it, right now. Screw electronic billboards; BRIAN MAY'S FACE. THE MOON.

Man I'm excited already.

Me? A hypocrite? Never!

Cheers from Hell!
Evil Bri

One could also approach this from an objective point of view, and wonder just how strong his conviction were to begin with.

If it is indeed a strong personal idealism, you would expect his friend and bandmate from the past 40 years to feel a bit sympathetic about it when Brian tells his opinion... Right?
