BRIAN GIVES A WHINGING FAN A PIECE OF HIS MIND

Taking this car analogy you'd tell everyone it was dodgy, word would get out in reviews, and the result would be damaged reputation and lower sales. Rather like in the music industry . You wouldnt be personally criticising the car designer or engineers for their style of shoes.
If you had one chance to message Brian May and be sure of a response would you really make it a criticism? Yes everyone has freedom of speech but this guy used it to make himself look like a plum, and Brian allowed himself to get dragged down to his level.

of course i'd criticise him to his face

TCR was his "austin allegro" complete with square steering wheel

i think that despite this guy "looking a plum" has anyone ever thought he may have thought his "attack" thru more than we give him credit?

what if he only did it to get "Brian to bite" to make him "look a c*nt" ?

If in person I reckon youd fall to his feet and kiss his clogs before begging him to play the solo on Still Burnin.

Maybe that's what *you* would do, but it doesn't mean the rest of the world is the same as you. Some may be, some may not.

Its DEFINITELY what I would do. I have a fondness for that solo.

please don't tell me what you reckon i would do

i have little respect or liking for the B.H.M. of the third millenium...

personally, i think that while the whole civilised world was scratching around panicking over the "millenium bug" it turns out that it's only affect was on the personality of tall-curly-haired-clog-wearing rock stars

and it turns them form respected, considerate and musically articulate deep thinkers into arrogant, money-grubbing limelight-begging has-beens

Brian,
Please, let me say firstly on behalf of my daughter Emma and myself we are huge fans of yours. You were amazing along with Roger and Jesse J, your outfit was awesome. For me I was so looking forward to the closing ceremony and your efforts were so worth the wait, fantastic.
We just wanted to say thank you for all the years of pleasure your playing of "The Red Special" has given and may that continue for many years to come.
The thought you might read this E mail, would make our day very special.
Take care, kind regards Mick and Emma

Hi there shoney
My guess is that you have a better chance of Brian reading this on Brian's Soapbox. Its easy enough to find, but here is a link for you.

I agree with this, and it also brings attention to something that annoys me in all of this Brian bashing. It's pretty justified for people to be annoyed at Brian recently, with all of his odd decisions and changes of opinion. But some people seem to think that warrants taking it further, and saying that he's always been a poor songwriter and only out to draw attention to himself. People seem completely willing to forget how thoughtful and talented he's always been because of the events of the last decade.

like i said, i only have an issue with Brian from the current millenium. think it's fair to say that up until then he was pretty consistent, both in quality of output and attitudes/opinions

so with that in mind, i am happy to defend my [consistent] position

*shrug* I hated the Jessie J spot, but I dunno. I can't help but feel like the guy writing about their fashion sense deserved a shitblasting. Who really gives a fuck what Brian was wearing?

Having said that, in Brian's position I might've made the response a little less bitchy - and possibly a private one. It's not like the world needs to hear about this. I'd much rather hear about something constructive from the Dr.

Brian May: great songwriter, distasteful person. I don't know what he used to be like in private, and in fact I don't know what he's like in private now, but his public face has grown steadily more unpleasant. As opposed to some (mostly those accusing others of "Brian-bashing"), I see a difference between the person and the musician. I like the musician a lot, I couldn't care less for the person.

why isnt this topic finished yet?
People still going on and on?
Why cant you just face the facts, a lot of people in here think it's ok to insult people, though i bet they would not do it face to face,
They are the true stepfords, who are being controlled by the so called freedom of the internet, thinking they can just treat people like shit and it's ok.
Brian doesn't think being personally insulted is ok
and wanted everyone to know, so he posted the comment by the stepford.

" I couldn't care less for the person."
quoting the commodity number 32989

That is the problem with your kind, you have no respect for people at all, so dont moan when you are treated like a commodity , and dont moan about the product, because you are not a person just a buyer , a commodity, a means of making money on the market.
