For me, it seems that Brian is in a very positive mood these days. He even kissed Meat Loaf! That's better then sadness[img=/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif][/img]

Once upon a time I might have agreed with you. His opinion carried weight before he started collaborating with people like Britney and blowing smoke up Katy Perry's arse. To me, that represents a guy whose judgement might not be so great. Sure - as long as he's having fun, then good for him. But Brian May is one guy I won't be asking for good listening material because he's obviously run out.

Seems to me that Queen evolved to change with the times, and Brian is still doing that, which is no small thing for someone as he gets older. I am the same generation as he is and I see this sort of attitude all the time in the USA as a mind set between conservatives who want to freeze time in a certain period and hang onto it and liberals who see things as a constant evolution. It is like the difference between old thinking and young thinking.
It has looked to me for some time as though gimmicks rule the day in the music business and singing talent was something that was no longer necessary. I hadn't watched Idol for years. My ol' man happened to be checking around on the tube one night and stopped on Idol and said I had to hear this guy, so I came to watch, and I thought he was quite good. So next week I tuned in to see if last week had been a fluke. It wasn't. MY GOD! SOMEONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY SING!!!! Not only did Adam sing but he changed his look like a chameleon every week - suddenly he looked like Elvis when he combed the hair back. He updated older songs and made them fresh and had you taking another look at them, like Ring of Fire. He was comfortable on stage and didn't sound self-conscious or phony. AND he was an incredibly nice and unpretentious guy.
So it seems to me that Brian is still trying to keep current with the times and the popular talent that is around. Also he seems to be an incredibly nice man who would not go around saying So-and-So stinks, especially if So-and-So was gushing away about how Freddie was a big inspiration to her. But imagine how sincerely he is going to be blown away by someone who can sing and perform like Adam. I do worry about who will be influencing Adam now that he has all this stuff coming at him and hope that he doesn't get lost in it.
Would I like to see Adam do something with Queen, or Brian and Roger, if you prefer? You damn well betcha! And I keep hoping that these mutual respect statements that keep coming out between Brian and Adam will lead to something, if just a one-time appearance somewhere along the line.
But please quit denegrating Brian! It says more about you than it does about Brian.

So, if we don't accept everything Dr May says and don't have an orgasm listening to every artist he supports we're just a bunch of wankers who want to freeze time or murder everybody who was born after 1950?
The thing is, besides the collaboration with Paul Rodgers (and regarding that I've always criticised the 'Queen+' label and the favourite-singer charade, but I've always thought it was a good idea in terms of music), Brian's been driving VW Beetles all this decade... which isn't 'bad', but is disappointing since he's got loads of Ferrari's.
I think the best way to sum up how I feel is by creating a (hopefully fictional) sort of prediction: this is what we'll see in Brian's Soapbox a year from now:

[/b]Hello folks!
Animals, photos, my lady... (more of that crap)
This week was fun: Rick Wakeman and I had lunch, and he suggested we should record something together (he also told me his son is a big fan of my work and wants me in the next Yes album), but I declined... I'm very busy producing the Black Eyed Peas!
Also, I visited my old pals Nuno Bettencourt and Steve Vai, they were both thrilled to see me, but I had to cut the evening short before talk about a group effort could begin since I was going to watch the new Kellie Pickler wannabe, whom I think is the future of music. In the way home, I ran into Roger Daltrey, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, Jordan Rudess, Larry LaLonde and other wonderful rock stars both old and young, many of whom would be willing to have me doing something with them. But I'm, of course, 100% devoted to the new musical (a hell of a lot more ridiculous than WWRY) and the upcoming Queen + Justin Timberlake tour. Justin was, of course, Freddie's favourite singer.
Many thanks to all the people who've suggested me to work with Platypus, but I've got no fucking idea about who they are! By the way, don't forget to check out the new Vanessa Hudgens album, it rocks!
Cheers!
Bri
PS: I heard JLS are covering [i]Black Queen[/i] next Thursday - I'm sure they'll do great!
PS2: Next year I'll replace Mr Morgan on BGT and AGT.
Bye again!

Look, I have a fair amount of respect for someone who has covered the ground that Brian has covered. Just the guitar jazz band he created for [i]Good Company[/i] is such a delightful thing for someone to have done. He wrote quite a few of the songs and had a pretty large contribution to the overall sound of Queen. That isn't even mentioning the making of his own guitar with improvements that allowed him to do different things with it, or the doctorate in astrophysics, and so on.
Of course you don't have to agree with everything, like the advocacy for the humane treatment of animals. I happen to agree with that, but only up to a point because I have lived in the country for 37 years and have shot more varmints than I care to remember that were killing my animals. You simply have to take a stand to protect your own at some point, because animals aren't very humane to each other. Well, I guess that is off the track! LOL
Anyway, if you think that Adam is unworthy of Brian's praise because he didn't "wade 5 miles through snowdrifts 3 feet deep" to get to the recording studio, and that Brian is an imbecile who has too much fun in life and his judgment is faulty, then so be it.

Adam's not unworthy of Bri's praise per se, but there are many people who are a hell of a lot more worthy of it (regardless of how they became famous). Recording a guitar jazz band isn't related to having the best taste either... AL isn't bad, but the fact BM spends time recording with him (rather than Rick Wakeman, Nuno Bettencourt or Joe Satriani) says a lot... about Dr May! And that 'lot' isn't precisely the best.

Recording a guitar jazz band lies within the realm of having fun, of being fascinated with the idea of creating these instruments on a guitar and putting it together for the fun and challenge of doing it. Once done then move on. Been there done that. Not a career. I'm not a musician but I am an artist and I understand that. And who the hell cares if it satisfies anyone's criteria of "taste"? I don't think you have any idea of what makes an artist tick.
I'm sorry that Brian doesn't seem to be living his life as you see fit these days. Perhaps we should bring that to his attention. I don't think he has anything more to prove and, who knows, perhaps he will yet do these things that are near and dear to your heart.

Sheer Brass Neck
If you are to judge a man by the company he keeps, judgement of Brian wouldn't be favourable over the past 10 years. He's above the "talent" he praises, and should spend his time working on art instead of the shit he surrounds himself with. I think he needs to stay busy, but really, what that Brian has done in the past 10 years lasts more than the moment it's in? I'd say zero. Others may disagree!

He has done it all... 200 million record sales, toured the world dozens of times, collaborated with hundreds of musicians in several genres, written books, and gotten a PhD.

Feel free to flame me for having my nose up Brian's arse again. Shame on me for respecting his right to do what he wishes. After all, he isn't a human being. He's only here to please people at Queen forums who always find something to complain about instead of doing something constructive.

What are you harping on about?? I hope this isn't in response to me because I don't think badly of Lambert in the slightest.

Adam Lambert is another kettle of fish really, because he can actually sing.

[/QUOTE]I am not denigrating Brian, so there'll be no more of that thank you very much. It is not denigrating someone to be realistic about their tastes. I agree with Brian on a ton of things, even in music. Regarding some of his choices in recent years though, I'd probably side with Deacy's attitude ... and you're not going to accuse HIM of denigrating Brian are you? Brian's just a guy. He's one of my heroes, musically, and I think he's a top fella. It is not insulting to see him in a more realistic light though.[/QUOTE]

This hyperbole stuff does you a disservice. I won't speak for Sebastian; maybe he really does think of Brian in a manner that might trigger a post like this, but I certainly don't.
