Part 2 was really hard to watch

Will John ever do another interview?

It would be kind of difficult, considering the fact that he's dead.

Yes, of course. 2003, wasn't it?

Even thinking about it is hard :(

No - he talked about his own contribution to the album, which was ample.  Brian could have also spent time in this documentary talking about what Deacon did, but then Deacon should've done that himself, but decided not to.  I wouldn't care much for watching Brian and Roger having to sit there going "oh and Deacy did this".  For that matter, Dave Richards probably did as much work (if not more) on Made in Heaven as Deacon did, but at least he bothered to show up at interview time.

Damn you and your balanced rightness !

*shakes fist*

I didn't mean to, I swear!   It was the drink talking.

You're quite right.  He should've said that Roger read it on a Cornflakes packet once and thought it'd look good on a plaque.

I didn't even mention the worst part: he said that The Miracle was a group attempt, yet he changed the credits of IWIA from Queen to Brian May on the GVH2 DVD. Brian can be really pathetic in some cases...

Plus, I don't understand the fuss concerning Deacon. In my opinion, it would be really strange of him to say a few lines in a documentary after years and years of silence. He made his decision. Queen is a closed book to him. No laziness involved.

Did he, do you have 100% proof it was Brian, do you know for a fact that he went to the DVD manufacture and told them,
"get rid of "queen", add Brian may, if you like you could add Dr Brian may OBE."

It could have been the people making the DVD making a mistake, maybe they got the credits from one of the many "who wrote what" websites, i agree with you about Brians ego, but is there proof this was him?

What are we talking about here?  The credits on the DVD (or booklet?) for Greatest Video Hits 2 have I Want It All credited to Brian instead of Queen?

I'm pretty confident that it was a conscious decision by Brian.

Of course it was a conscious decision, he can be that kind of bloke at times, or so it would seem. 'Petty' is the word. Perhaps they were all like that about their credits but he comes across as the worst for it.

I watched (and cried) at that documentary!  My first experience of Queen was when both me and my dad bought each other the album "Made in Heaven" - Freddie, Brian, roger and John were truely geniuses at work and I thank them for being there through the tough and good times!!! - when life gets tough I only have to put on "the show must go on" and things are ok again xxxx

I Want It All was a virtually complete song by the time that they started recording the Miracle.  Who gives two fucks about the shared-writing credits anyway?  They did that when the band was still around in order to solve arguments - now I know some people like to live in the past on this forum, but it's not 1989 any more.

Maybe we should close the entire forum? Since we're discussing a band that fell apart in 1991. You can do better than that, Zebonka.
