Mack in Rome 2012

Brian and his friends recorded Star Fleet in LA with Mike and Nick engineering. When it was turn to mix it, the Doctor could've asked them to do it, or he could've done it himself, or he could've asked anyone else in America, Britain or Continental Europe (his main destinations at the time). Out of all of those possibilities, he chose Reinhold Mack ... so it's not like they hated each other.

After all, Reinhold engineered, mixed and co-produced the most successful single Brian ever wrote.

David became more involved in 'A Kind of Magic' as a natural step ... he'd been working with Roger since 1980, and he became closer to Brian when working in the film soundtrack.

You can don't feel hate, and don't like a person Sebastian. There's a difference.
Said after talk too much with Mack, and not always agree with him.

The fact they had differences of opinion sometimes doesn't mean they disliked each other. Had Brian disliked Reinhold, he wouldn't have chosen him to mix the whole Star Fleet EP, and he wouldn't have chosen him to work on the Flash Gordon OST with him.

In Tony Iommi biog it is mentioned he calls.Brian up to get a testimonial on Mack as Sabbath are considering him for a forthcoming album. Brian tries to.talk Iommi out of the decision saying he is difficult to work.with and will take them in directions they won't be happy with

Have you got the source?

Sebastian, I have source about the relationship between Mack and Brian. By Mack, by Roger Taylor, etc...
And what Anato says, it's true. Buy the Iommi biography, and is on it.

And Josh Homme said one time, a band will be great doing music, but not friends. Sometimes is like a job. You and me can do a good job in something, but not being friends.

Brian and Reinhold weren't necessarily friends, but it doesn't mean they disliked each other. They worked well together and there's a reason why The Doctor headhunted Mack to mix his off-Queen project.

I send you a private message Sebastian.

That's brill, thanks. I'll definitely buy it. I love how he talks about Rick Wakeman.

By the way:

From 5.55 to 7.50 they're both praising Reinhold.

In that "40 Jahre Queen" documentry on german TV, MACK said something about their working relations. He (MACK) wasn`t satisfied with Brians "old school method" of doing songs. . Mack said that Brian should change a bit of his methods. I would say they sort things out in a creative way.

On a side note, i just want to point out that we as fans should respect more these people´s time and their efforts to be in Queen conventions and talk about Freddie, the band, and studio sessions. Of course this is not aimed at everybody, but what happened here with Mack talking and people talking over him is sad.

When Mack is in the room talking, you shut up and listen. This is how we learn something useful. In these days that there is nothing coming out from the source, we should take every opportunity we can to make the best out of these people who are willing to share their experiences, and ask them questions that are pertinent.

Because, if it wasn´t for Mack, who´d already scripted his presentation, i feel that nothing good would have come out of this, because people are still more interested to know how it was working with Queen, and were they nice to work with, than real questions about sessions, time frames and other things that are more juicy right now than to know if Mack and Brian were best friends forever.

As i said, not aimed at everybody, but i believe people can behave better than this.

I wish people like Mack would show up at the Dutch convention. Then I'd definitely go once again (last time was 2005, went 5 or 6 times before that). Every years it's the same. Peter Freestone talking about what Freddie liked to eat, Greg Brooks showing some videos and some games and a raffle. I wish they'd get Mack, Justin Shirley Smith or someone else to talk about more in-depth stuff! How amazing would it be to have JSS do a talk about how they created Made In Heaven, teasing with some snippets, multitracks etc. I'd pay money just for that!

^ what the last two people said.

Opportunities rarely, if at all, come up more than once.

About a decade ago I missed out on meeting Nuno Bettencourt for a completely stupid reason, and so far I've never been even close to getting another chance.
