I'm not overly concerned by Paul leaving. I figured it was a short term thing anyway. I guess I was one of these people who disagreed with the name Queen being used in this instance but I'm old fashioned. I'm another though who'd love to see Tim Staffel join up with the boys again and do some recording, but under the Smile name and not the Queen name.

No offense but this is about as realistic as hoping that Paul McCartney and Ringo reform under the name "Quarrymen". "Smile" never amounted to much - why should Brian and Roger go back there?

Thanks for this - put a smile on my face even if the news is a bit of a downer. Can just visualise Brian reacting this way.

Totally agree - for someone so outspoken he's gone extremely quiet. We are either going to hear some kind of rant shortly I'm sure or he'll present a cold shoulder approach and completely play it down. No one seems to have a real idea of what's going on.

Whilst I'm not a fan of his voice - his voice certainly isn't nasally. if you want nasal - check out bob dylan, peter perrett, lennon, brett anderson etc.
Also, people are being beyond naive thinking this apparent revelation has opened the doors to archive releases. I can guarantee you that nothing has changed!

And Brian Molko, and, well, once Brian Wilson had Al Jardine hold his nose while he played the piano and sang 'California Girls', and did a great impersonation of the most nasal singer, Mike Love!

Jake, I'm going to put this kindly, will you PLEASE shut the fuck up about Beach Boys/Brian Wilson. No-one gives a shit about them. This is not beachboyszone.com / brianwilsonzone.com last I checked.

Hey, did you notice you replied to an OLD post? An old post that I made in reply to a person who posted something about NASAL SINGERS? Argh Argh Argh.
Why don't you tell them no one gives a shit about Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Brett Anderson, etc... since that person was mentioning them. And why didn't you tell ME to shut up about BRIAN MOLKO?
Or are you mis-behaving in this manner because I am Jacob "Brian Wilson" Britt?

Indeed. And unlike Jake, I don't have time to spend posting on the Internet 24/7 like Britt does. I actually WORK for a living, like any normal person would, in addition to my band activies - and my only time on the Internet is at home and sometimes on my break at work.
Oh well, I guess Jake just will never get it.
And Jake - I'm not for disallowing discussion of other bands and artists, but your obsession with Beach Boys/Brian Wilson is pretty much getting to the point of spamming ANY topic with mentions of them any chance you can get, whether or not it's actually [i][b]related to the topic at hand[/b][/i].
You don't see me for instance making animé references in every post I make now, do you?

You're right, Richard. I was WAY out of line, and I shouldn't do things like that. I'm very sorry about that. Like I said, and you've said, it was way out of line.
BTW...
What band are you in now? I noticed Unbalanced has someone else's name written in, what happened?

No offense taken. I guess my point is I'd have rather they did that using the name Smile than team up with Paul Rogers and be Queen + PR. For me, Queen ended when Freddie died and John left. Brian and Roger should stick to solo work. If they do want to do something together then I'm one of those people that agree that they should not use the Queen name when playing with different singers. I'm happy seeing Brian playing old Queen numbers during his solo concerts.
I didn't mind the Cosmos Rocks but it wasn't life changing that's for sure. I'd just wish that they hadn't used the name Queen on it.

Oh you probably mean on our MySpace page. We WERE trying out a new drummer earlier this year, "J.T." (Joshua Thomas I think), to see if I would be able to do other stuff, like extra guitar or keyboard effects or summat like that.
The guy turned out to be a fucking tool though. He didn't really learn our older stuff, and it clearly showed - he was trying to act like he was writing the songs from the ground up.
About the ONLY good thing that came out of jamming with him was his idea of the drum arrangement for "Family Thorn" - I liked that one, so me and Josh did a re-recorded instrumental demo of that (he did bass on that as Ted wasn't around to work on it), just to get a rough guide down for a new version. Even then, I'm not wholly sure we'll do that song again, as Jerry doesn't really like it anymore oddly enough.
I need to bug Josh to get that fixed - I don't have our MS password.

Makka, you're absolutely right, but Tom Staffel struggled with vocals when he was IN Smile and gigging. Now he's been out of the loop for a while, he's hardly going to have improved with age.
I'd like to see the reformation of The Cross in all honesty - a really gritty band with some quality material - better than ANYTHING Queen delivered from '84 - '90. EMI were scared that Roger would make the band a success and withdrew finance, hence their demise. Understandable but somewhat laughable given subsequent events.
Brian could then happily while away the hours gazing into the sky and banging on about orchids and stereo pictures.......sitting in the corner, bouncing a ball and dribbling from the side of his mouth, wondering why he didn;t do that solo electric blues album......

Run that by me again...EMI were scared Roger might make The Cross a success and so pulled the finance...eeeerr yer right..
Sorry but that is rubbish...Roger pulled the plug not EMI
