Brian May question & answer session Queen convention 2001

I've just uploaded this to my Youtube page. Some interesting stuff from Brian.

Someone asked him a question about GH3 and he totally confused me untill he mentioned Track 13....he was talking about Made In Heaven. Didn't he understand the question?

I guess he "never read the post " - guffaw!!

That's really interesting.....and not a Badger in sight! ;-)

This is the kind of stuff that Jacky once told me she was hoping to share on the QFC website at one point, but I guess that hasn't happened yet :(

Yeah, wish we could get more of these. :)

Thank you for another great share. This is fantastic stuff that i´m watching for the first time. Fifteen years ago, and Brian is still around and touring. Great!

You know, in a way i think it was the person who asked the question that mistaken GHIII for "Made in Heaven", so maybe Brian gave the right answer!? :-)

I mean, making GHIII without Freddie was a no-brainer - you just have to pick up the songs. On the other hand MIH was a bit tricky to complete without Freddie.

Thanks for posting !

Wow, Brian says how his guitar didn't work for WWRY at the beginning of the show in Las Vegas 1977. This stuff is gold.

I truly hope this man writes his memoirs. There are a million stories he can tell. He just needs to be interviewed by the right person to get it all out of him.

Unfortunately, to write accurate *memoirs* a better *memory* comes in handy, or at least someone (qualified and/or sensible) to verify facts, otherwise we'll wind up with a book claiming 'My Fairy King' was on 'Queen II', the never played 'It's a Hard Life' or 'It's Late' live in the 20th century, 'Love of My Life' was on either 'Sheer Heart Attack' or 'A Day at the Races', etc.

But a sizeable portion of that million would probably be inaccurate. The vast majority would probably be spot on anyway, but it'd be tricky to tell which ones.

ELO's spaceship "which they nicked off us" , well they must have spruced it up a bit cos it was a damned sight more impressive than the crown. I witnessed both within weeks of each other in June '78 at Wembley empire pool. The crown was a tad non-descript compared to the superb spaceship.

So? Newsflash: most of us don't do lists and statistics on Queen stuff all the time. You'd be most welcome not to buy said memoirs if you feel the accuracy wouldn't meet your standards.

Brian's mind does seem odd sometimes

"Would it be possible to do blah blah blah"

"No, i don't think it would be popular"

They said possible Brian?

That might seem a bit nitpicky, but it was straight after the GHIII gaff...he just seems to get in a muddle fairly easily.

Oh, but I can't tell whether the post is good or not unless I read it though, can I? About one in five of your posts are quite worthwhile to read to me, it's just that the four others are usually things you have written dozens of times before. Like those inaccurate statements made by Brian that you just seem to love to bring up whenever an opportunity presents itself.


Furthermore, it's not like facts he'd write in proposed memoirs would have the same accuracy as statements he's made half an hour into an interview in a godforsaken studio somewhere. He would have access to his discography and thousands of other peoples articles on the different subjects.

- They ask him about a possible studio version of Hangman, and he says he doesn't think they ever recorder it. (25')
- He would like to do "music to eat by"... because he hates the kind of music they put in restaurants (31')
- They ask him if he would put out his solo videos ... (we're still waiting) (34')
- He says he feels like a victim when he's interviewed on TV... (That explains a lot what i'ven seen in some of his interviews)
- He thinks he screwed up in the solo in Saturday Night Live...

I like how authentic and modest he sounds. The old days...

He's a bit grouchy and defensive these days.

C'mon, kids... ;)
