Honestly, I reckon his wife needs a little 'help'. She's got loads of stuff already signed, adorned on her walls, and cos he couldn't sign one poster she cries the night away and doesn't go to gigs she's paid for? That sounds like someone a little unbalanced.
On a happier note, the only time I've met Brian off guard was in 1986 during the Magic Tour. He was trying on a pair of Geordie Jeans in Newcastle and I accidently wipped back the curtain to try on some Geordie Jeans. They were famous for being right tight round the arse area. I was very apologetic and he smiled. Don't think he bought the jeans thougha

What she should do , is try and trick Brian into contravening artcle 57 of the united nations security council and therefore bring down the wrath of NATO on his head.
I think that was a fair response from Brian. I met him last year in London. I didn't ask him to sign anything - in fact I didn't have anything for him to sign, it was a bit of a chance meet - I offered my hand, he shook it and I told him it was a pleasure to meet him, to which he said something like 'Thank you. God bless you', I think. That for me, as a young Queen fan was way more special than waving something in his face and coming away with a scribble on a piece of paper. But, there were those there who were doing just that; shoving booklets and CD covers in front of him without saying two words to him, simply calling out his name so he could complete their demands. These are the people who are simply interested in collecting an autograph, rather than genuine fans, otherwise they'd have more respect for him.

Geordie Jeans! classic. Was it the one near Greys Monument? ?
As well as having a boatload of signed memorabilia from over the years, Pat now also has a very considered email written specifically for her from Brian May. That's more than 99.9999999999% of Queen fans will ever get, so Pat should probably consider herself lucky and stop feeling sorry for herself over something so completely selfish.

no.no.no.no.no.
what she should do is:-
spend ten years learning to play guitar, and another ten years getting known in the music business, then once she's known world-wide as a guitar legend, book a residency at the Royal Albert Hall, send out a special VIP guest list to include Dr May, then at the post-gig-backstage-party when Brian comes up to shake her hand, she should calmly and with grace say "FUCK OFF YOU MOP-TOP BADGER-LOVING WEIRDO" :-)

Could've been the one near Grey's Monument! Don't make em like that anymore. And Blandford Street? You been there lately? If it was still there it'd have a pound shop on one side and a charity shop on the other. What a dump it is![/QUOTE]
I think it was really nice of Brian to reply to the letter, most "stars" don't bother corresponding with their stalkers.
I've met Brian twice in the 90s. First was outside a TV appearance with maybe 10 other people. Brian's handlers after the appearance ushered us into the lobby and Brian came out and spent maybe 10-15 minutes chatting and signing and it was real chill.
The second time was backstage at a solo show, I felt sorry for him as there were a bunch of stalker types with stacks of things to sign and a manic desparation. I just shook his hand and exchanged pleasantries. He was very nice to everyone including the crazies.
There's something embarrassing about a grown adult asking for an autograph.

I agree with most of what Brian said in his reply. If Pat had travelled far or never had anything signed, i think Brian would and should feel slightly more guilty (even though he is entitled to a break), but because she has an entire room full of signed things, she can't become depressed simply because he refused the one time out of a 100. He's not a young man filled with energy any more, i imagine gigs are very tiring, and he would want to rest afterwards.
I met Debbie Harry randomly at London Marylebone train station last year, people ask why i didn't ask for a picture or sign something, but I didn't need to. I'm a big Blondie fan, and having that moment, chatting for a couple of minutes, was a better memory for me than any half-assed scribble on a piece of paper. I also felt that if i had drawn attention to her by having a photo/signing something, loads of other people would have noticed it was her, and my moments with her would have been reduced to seconds - and Debbie probably wouldn't have been too happy.

With them being Geordie Jeans, they sent all the seconds to Sunderland!
No, he doesn't need to sign autographs. For example, he could just say, "Hi everyone! I'm too tired to sign autographs tonight, but I can shake hands. Nice to see you all." He should just stop all autograph signing so as to be fair to everyone, especially if he can't stand signing autographs. This is a pretty trivial problem to spend time worrying about. Ha!
