Brian May. Common decency

Yeah, yet another one of your alter egos.

For fuck's sake - not only are you a moron with the brain power and emotional maturity of an 8 year old, but you actually spend time posting as 3 or 4 different people on a forum to make it look like others share your views.

And you don't copy and paste. You actually spend that much time doing it, again and again. And you only accomplish one thing - people think you're even more of an idiot.

I pity you.

As much admiration I have for Brian, I tend to stay clear nowadays from his political standpoints.
When you think back to the 70's, 40 years down the line could you see the man who wrote that nasty gritty riff to Tie Your Mother Down having an obsession with badgers?!
I suppose when you have money and past your best in terms of producing and creating music one must fill the void with something....

I've no problem with them touring though. I'm still picking up a lot of the opinions on here from different users from different parts of the world, but Queen's catalog is far too good to not be played in a live setting. I don't think Freddie would have a problem with them doing so either. Don't get me wrong, I've been baffled with some of the things that they've done over the years, that collaboration with Five comes to mind, but at the end of the day, they're doing the best they can in making sure that Queen don't get forgotten about too quickly, which is never going to happen anyway.

I don't see what's so strange about that - in the same song Brian wrote, 'Tie your mother down ... take your little brother swimming with a brick' in order to have sex with a girl uninterrupted by her disapproving family. The song isn't indicative of his character... He's always been fairly gentle as far as I can tell.

Either way, his wanting to stop needless killing is something to be admired. He chose one species for his big campaign, because it's a big issue and close to home for him. I'm sure if he could help every creature and person he would, but he's rather making a focused and specialised effort.

The real wizard: You are stupid enough to reply to my posts in the first place,
and believe me i do not have 3 other user names on here i can say what ever i want under my own name thank you very much.
If you do not like what i say then fuck off.

Wel since no one here seems to like anything you and your alter ego's have to say, you might consider fucking off yrself, Gerry

i might as well fuck off from this lot of wankers on this site including you.

Exactly! See ya

Most of these celebrities/musicians could not give two hoots about anything like that back in their prime though. It's something that has only come with age. I don't think it's the first problem on any of our minds when we have bills to pay and families to feed. I just feel that this has only come with age. McCartney is another one. What can you give a man who already has everything? Nothing, so this is why we see them on the news talking about things other than music.

Perhaps it gives you a freedom to worry about other peoples problems when you don't have to worry about your own financial situation.

Then again, the opposite happens with some rich people, whilst overwhelmingly, people living below the poverty line in third world countries are selfless.

ludwigs: you still can not handle your jealousy over me knowing Wayne Sleep,
its hilarious that it gets to you!

Hey Gerry you missed an awesome gig last night . . . . . . . oh sorry I forgot. . . . . . . .

Well, here is my two cents. As there's lots of assuming going on here.

My comment regarding Brian and John and his lack of respect for Queen's legacy stems from two things:

1) - Publicly comparing Freddie and Adam Lambert. The issue has never BEEN Adam. Out of the three of them, Adam has probably been the most precious with what he's doing.

2) - His recent comments about John Deacon were really rude and uncalled for. Even if they MAY be true, he did not need to hit below the belt. Did he think that was going to make the relationship better or what?

3) - Roger has publicly dissed songs that he didn't write including all of Hot Space and Another One Bites the Dust.

4) - Re-releasing Love Kills as a ballad and then putting it on a $17 compilation as it it were originally released under the Queen name.

5) - Selling out their music every year for another crap compilation that nobody really needs. Absolute Greatest, Deep Cuts, Queen Forever, Stone Cold Classics. It's all too much and too sleazy. This in combination with the overpriced box set for Live at the Rainbow with 5 different versions ranging from $17 to $200... those sets likely cost about $5 to manufacture.

These are my issues with those two. I love their music, but their actions come across as careless.

Spot on there!
Brian is a great gentle guy but since he joined forces with Lambert he has become arrogant and bloody minded.
Maybe he gets it from Lambert as he comes across as a tosser.
The compilation cds were a waste of money but the band say they were aimed at new fans out there!
Brian does seem bitter with Deacon though and jealous of Freddie.
Roger has also become jaded slagging off " Another one bites the dust" and criticizing cd 2 from Queen Forever!
I recently heard that the Newcastle gig last night was truly awful and a big fuzzy mess, so glad i never wasted my money to go and see that load of shit.

as to your last two points, 7th Stranger.......is it Brian and Roger, or the record company that's behind those compilations?

the "hardcore fans" of ANY band pretty much NEVER like compilations..........but that's not who they're intended for, is it?
