In 40-70 years, all of us will be gone. In the end, all we leave behind is the effect we had on people, and the care we gave. Not two fucks will be given about how many people we fucked.[/QUOTE]

Or at least that's what people who never get laid will have you believe.

Sorry, had to.

Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down

I'm actually going to see this fucking guy on Wednesday in London. GF pulled me by the collar.

He was Freddie's favourite Canadian, even above Fred Mandel and Jobby.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Rogers main "victory" is that he wrote and released records of music he liked in the full knowledge they wouldn't be commercial successes.

Brian s solo stuff, bar Starfleet project and Furia, were certainly designed to be top ten albums . When he realised success couldn't be be sustained at that level he stopped.[/QUOTE]

Or maybe Cozy Powell died and Brian rekindled his relationship with Roger Taylor, instead of your far-fetched and demeaning theory...

Well, Brian's far more famous than Rog, probably has more money, has written more unforgettable songs, has covered more disciplines than Rog once we count his forays into astronomy, stereo photography and animal activism, and routinely ranks higher on 'best guitarists' polls than Rog on 'best drummers' ones. He's also written books and gained a far larger following as a composer and producer.

Roger's only victories against Brian are:

- He's been part of No 1 hit singles in five decades, as opposed to four.
- He's got a far better memory.[/QUOTE]

And most importantly, he shagged way more chicks in the 70s.[/QUOTE]

I wonder how the stats of Queenzoners would stack up in that regard....[/QUOTE]

Says a guy whose presence here is little more than being a troll.

Carry on...

He had rekindled his relationship with Rog while Cozy was still alive, and he still toured and made a further album after Cozy's untimely passing.

Im pretty sure Brian almost said as much himself after the Cosmos Rock s sales figures . He wants to record music that has impact or not at all.
Roger in his solo music is moreso doing so for his own pleasure.
Is that OK for me to think that Brian is more musically commercially orientated ? Or should it go to a public vote?

I'd venture to say he was less commercially minded in the 90s.

Between 96-98 they recorded one song and played one gig. The more regular one-offs and Queen+ stuff started in 99.

But fair point about Furia - which certainly questions the argument that Brian was all about sales in that period.

Yes I mentioned Furia to present a balanced argument. I think Brian also composed and played music for Macbeth . But his solo albums had elements of structure that emulated Queen albums. I think he was aiming for a reasonable fraction,say a quarter, of Queens regular album buyers. This didn't happen and after this most of what he has done has been on the back of the Queen name.

But that was in 1990. Fred was still alive.

And it's Not even close! I like Roger, he's a very good drummer, wrote some good solid songs. He also had a good voice, but Brian May easily had a bigger impact In the music world. He was a better songwiter by far. He also had a bigger influence as a guitarist than Roger had as a Drummer.
