Yes, I need it, please ^^
By the way, thank you for the Beatles list. Ironically John is my favorite member of B but many of my favorite songs are John-less.

Dunno... I suppose we could make lists for KISS songs without each member, but that's a bit long considering only Gene and Paul have been there for their entire run. Same for Eagles (Don and Glenn), Guns 'n' Roses (Axl's been there from day one but that's it), etc.

I don't know if these are all the mistakes he's made, but according to some of Brian's claims:
* They never played It's Late or It's a Hard Life live (the latter one before this century anyway).
* My Fairy King is on Queen II.
* Love of My Life is either on Sheer Heart Attack or A Day at the Races.
* He didn't play a Flying V on stage (until confronted with evidence he had, that is).
* Freddie didn't play Steinway pianos.
* Bo Rhap was recorded on sixteen-track.
* Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke was recorded at Wessex in the Opera/Races period (unless there's a long-lost retake?).
* Roger's not a ballad writer.
* Fred wrote 'Bicycle Race' after seeing the Tour de France in Nice.
* He (Brian) played a koto on 'Teo Torriatte.'
Of course, the vast majority of what he says about Queen or his past work is quite spot on, but you wouldn't seriously expect any person (and Brian, despite being an outstanding musician, is still a person) to recall in detail everything that happened in the office decades ago. What for many people might be an unforgettable song or concert, for him might have been just one of many (and by many, I mean literally hundreds).

Maybe a list of bands in which the original lineup played on every album. . . ;)

Thank you Sebastian. I wanted that list to get my facts straight, not to criticize Dr May or something. In fact I'm really glad that he's a human being rather than a superman. Also, for a person who talks A LOT as him, that list is quite short ;)
