True, it's not a big deal if he's also gonna change the credit of Innuendo to freddie and roger, and slightly mad to freddie. See the point?

But isn't that decision up to Roger and whoever it is that speaks for Freddie these days?
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]Not that I have even the foggiest clue whether there'd be a legal barrier stopping Brian from doing such a thing. Surely it'd be up to someone else?[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]Besides which, Innuendo is a poor example. "I Want It All" was basically a finished song. "Innuendo" was completed as a group - true, there are other examples which are more Freddie-based and are still credited to the group, but I thought I'd just point that out.[/QUOTE]

Yep. It's more a
matter of principle, I think. Look at "The Miracle" EPK and it's
interviews. The band's decision to credit all songs as composed by
"Queen" was then heralded by all members as the greatest thing since
sliced bread.
Why after all these years change that? Especially since the passing of the bands key member?

I don't follow this thread at all. Acknowledging Brian's importance to the band is not a slight on Freddie's significance...[/QUOTE]
Of course not. The thing is, as great as Brian May is (and he is f*cking great, and a genius) he happened to be in a band with Freddie Mercury, know what I mean? Someone who is a member of the "unique and elite", the likes of which we will never see again.
It doesn't detract from Brian's talent, and his influence on rock music one iota.
Don't worry, as great I'm saying Fred was, nobody is going to forget Brian May anytime soon either.

My way of thinking is that if there's no money in it, that he probably just had a bizarre, very-human moment where he felt like a bit of recognition. That's purely speculative of course.

[/QUOTE]Much as I felt with the "should Q+PR be called Queen+Paul Rodgers" discussion, I'm not so bothered by the name anyway. I feel like a bad fan for saying it of course, but I don't really care for much other than the music. I don't concern myself with the idea of them 'disrespecting' each other or whatever... I just like the music, which is probably why I have no hope of contributing to a topic like this.[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]I have to return to what the original poster said though and repeat: I don't think Brian's overly aggressive at all. Roger Waters and the rest of Pink Floyd going to court? THAT is aggressive, although if it were to stop "Momentary Lapse in Reason" from being released then maybe I'd do the same thing.[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]It's no biggie, honestly ... we all basically know who wrote what, and which ones were team efforts.[/QUOTE]

Some people don't care about the name, and they're entitled not to - they're not harming anybody by not caring.

After Freddie died and John quit PERHAPS Brian is sick of 'his' money going to a dead man's estate (run by a woman who has pissed on Freddie's memory and wishes in many ways) and to a Bassman who clearly has no positive feelings towards his 'brothers' of twenty years.
I am only speculating of course.
[/QUOTE]
I hope so, because your suggestion makes Brian out to be a COMPLETE asshole. There's been far too much rewriting of history as it is lately.
[/QUOTE]
If you must know, I am more of a fan of Brian than Freddie so YOU may think my comments make him look like an asshole, but I (as the poster of the remark) certainly did not see or mean it that way.
I was merely pointing ouit what is called a POSSIBILITY - one amongst many others being posted here. I think the OP makes brian out to look like an asshole too but there you go.
[/QUOTE]
Sheesh. You're more a fan of Brian? No shit?
You said it was speculation on your part, and I said I hope so. Get it?
And sorry but if there was any truth in what you call a POSSIBILITY, then it makes Brian out to be an asshole. And that's why I said I hope it was speculation.
Yeah, you're a real great fan of Brian May. I wouldn't even entertain the POSSIBILITY that May would change writing credits for the reason you've speculated.
Get it yet?
[/QUOTE]
You would not entertain such thoughts cos you are blind enough to think that just because they are great musicians that that makes them infallible .. GET IT?
"Ooh, Brian, Roger , John and Freddie simply MUST have been absolutely wonderful and amazing and PERFECT human beings who could NEVER EVER have a any negative thoughts whatsoever.."
GET REAL.
I 'GOT' what you said in the first place numpty.

Talk about being totally clueless!
It may be said that May & Taylor have made some dubious decisions of late.
The difference is I don't believe that May would sink to the level YOU think he could.
....and you're his big fan apparently.
It's just too funny for words
What an idiot. Brian May must be proud to have fans like you.

You really are a twit aren't you.
Does it make you feel all big ridiculing other people like that, little boy?
Save you stupid remarks for someone else or grow up.
It is one thing to disagree, fine of course, but to try to belittle someone the way you are shows that you really have seruious self-esteem issues and come to places like this for your pethetic self-induced ego-boosts.
I fart in your general direction LMFAO

LOL! That's a very well thought out and literate response.
Buddy, you brought it on yourself. Are you legally bound to keep displaying your lack of intelligence by posting here or something?
Your original suggestion (or POSSIBILITY) was outright laughable, and an insult to Brian May. It needed to be addressed.
Just let it go.
