Brian May: overly aggressive over songwriting credits

The funny part is that the huge brian may fan is the one critisizing him.

It's probably better that way.  One shouldn't be a fan of someone else unless they're willing to see them realistically, and not just as some perfect being!

very true

I'm late into this post - but where has Brian supposedly changed the credit for I Want It All - Live in the Ukraine has it creditted to Queen. As that is its latest release doesn't that prove that he has not changed the writing credit?

Personally I don't see what I said as an insult to Brian in the least. Each is entitled to their own opinion of things, but how you respond to other's posts is a different matter.



Ken8 you are a very rude and immature person and the way you responded initially shows that.



As Zebonka said, rightly, I may be a fan, but I am capable of seeing Brian as a human being with all the negative traits that come with it.



The list of 'possibilities' as to why he changed the credits are ENDLESS and I offered merely ONE suggestion. For YOU to jump on my back for it is your pathetic little problem.  As you would rudely say... 'get it'?

'pissed on Freddie's memory'

'his money going to a dead man's estate'

PLEASE - you should write to Brian and ask to be his spokesperson.  Then post his response, I'd find it very interesting.

I can only imagine what Freddie would say.

hehe

Is it just me or does Brian May seem overly obsessed with songwriting credits. For instance, he made a
big deal about how he played for like 2 seconds at the beginning of one of the songs in "Chinese Democracy"
and then didn't get credited. WHen someone once pointed out that Freddie was instructing him on his guitar playing during the making of "One Vision" he also got really defensive. Other times, it appears that he invents contributions that don't even exist. For instance, he made a big deal about how, during the line "shiver down my spine" in "Bohemian Rhapsody" he apparently added some special noise with his guitar. In fact, it turns out that this "special sound" was made by a percussion instrument called a bell tree and not by his guitar at all![/QUOTE]






Is this true?



Is Brian really 'aggressive' about it?

I can't imagine Brian to be aggressive about anything to be honest lol

One more time..... We all accept Brian May is just another "flawed" human being.

The suggestion you thought appropriate to post was unfair speculation and insulting.

A lot of us don't think May is as low as you think he could be.

Let it go.  I'm starting to wonder if you're that Canadian IR Luger or whatever his name was.

Here's another idea.  If you don't like people defending Brian May on a Queen message board, how about you going away?  I'm critical of May a lot lately.  I don't get upset when people here leap to his defence.

I'd be staggered if they didn't!
