BRIAN GIVES A WHINGING FAN A PIECE OF HIS MIND

but it makes brian look like a bigger tit than the guy he replied to. at least the OP can voice his opinion as a fan and 30 yr paying customer...

brian should be above getting involved in petty squabbles...makes him look small minded and just ever so slightly insecure

Brian has every right to his free speech
and every right to look and act alive, and be aware and wary of internet creeps. And he has the right not to suffer fools, and let the world know he wont.

Yes it was suitably eccentric and stood out,just the kind of magic and style you expect from Queen.
I cannot understand the crticism, but it is obvious that was not the main focus and was thrown in as an excuse for the criticism born of anger, I think the fan was angry at the core, angry freddie is dead, but foolish to lash out like that.

And Brian doesn't care about the feelings of the whingers
so beware....
Whinger.

The whingers dont like this thread

1) Learn to write. The verb is "to whine". The noun would thus be "a whiner". Even you should be smart enough to figure that out.
2) Nobody likes you around here. It's nothing to do with the thread.

Also 'page, blackmore, gilmour, iommi, lifeson' have done very little to get a new generation involved in who they are.
[/QUOTE]
I'd debate Page and Lifeson. The LZ DVD from 2003 has been watched by tens of millions of kids on youtube. I'm sure Page knew it would put Zeppelin on the online map, as the only officially available footage prior to that was from The Song Remains The Same, much of which was interspersed with non-concert stuff.

As for Rush - the kids know Moving Pictures now because of Rock Band, to the point that they played the entire album every night on the last tour. Every time I see Rush, the audience gets younger and younger. They are connecting with the kids. I'd argue that Rush are bigger now more than ever.

That said, their chosen methods vs. Brian's obviously can't be compared. But I can't blame Brian for his choices. Queen are second to The Beatles, and to maintain that you have to connect with as many people as you can. What better way to reach the next generation than to perform with Lady Gaga or at the Olympic closing ceremonies? Sure, Brian could collaborate with Lang Lang and no doubt it would be a creatively good choice. But doing it with Lady Gaga will reach a thousand times more people.

Let's face it - most of Brian's creative work lies elsewhere these days. He has done it all with music, and now focuses more energy on astronomy, stereo photography and animal rights issues. Good on him for doing what he wants instead of being a prisoner of what other people think he should be doing.

Actually whinge is a valid variant of whine.
