^ Looks like the guitar string broke. It looks hilarious though, the way the lights go on Brian, he goes to do his thing, then it all fucks up and he walks off lol


What's happened with the edit / quote / reply to other comments buttons on here btw? I am not seeing them.

They're still there, but invisible now. Just like the members, pm, etc. buttons. Don't know why, another fluke I guess. If you put your cursor over the place where the icon used to be, you'll see the invisible button still works.

And there you have it. Guitar problems, or Brian hitting wrong notes ( occasionally ) has nothing to do with his age. The people bringing the subject up are the ones who have a shock coming because quite possibly they are the ones who aren't aware that we are all in the same boat, if we make it that far.

Don't judge unless you've taken time to learn something about what you are passing judgement on.

Quite happy to see Brian getting old, considering the alternative.

I'm not judging at all, I could not see what happened and why the solo went wrong.Smoke, string break, he forgot which key he was on the guitar neck . Of course everybody make mistakes and some are because of age. You can see how much the show is over -produced and why Brian plays each solo and riffs the same night. In the early days there was a lot more freedom to impovise and they rehearsed weeks before a tour started.

I think you should learn a bit more. When somebody ask an open question you never judge right???So It's quite legitimate to ask this question on this topic.
Please stop using smart ONE-liners that make no sense at all. You just make a fool of yourself.

At Manchester last night the show & band were brilliant it was simply awesome......

I do understand hardcore fans frustrations I'm one myself but when you are in the middle of 21,000 people who've come to see Queen you realise that the only setlist they can play (unless they are promoting something new) is a greatest hits one. I loved Stone Cold Crazy, Get Down Make Love etc but 80% of those around me just hadn't got a clue. i wasn't in the middle of a bunch of Glamberts either the general make up of the crowd from what I could see was pretty much like my own group of 6 - Dad = Hardcore Queen Fan, Mum - Casual Queen Fan - Rest of Family 2 to 4 people wanting to experience the legend they have grown up with but only knowing GH1, 2 & 3.

Anyway whatever the excuse/reason 40 years after my first Queen gig it was fantastic to be able to share the experience with my daughters and their partners for the first time and they loved every minute of it...........

Guitar mistakes in Leeds = old age.

Got it.

I think it was Sydney 85 where Brian hilariously hits the wrong note right before the opera section. It was filmed by an audience member.

Do I really?

In my reply I didn't name you specifically, I was talking in general. As for Brian's playing, he has never drifted far from the rehearsed songs, no matter what stage of the band's career you look at. I'm not saying never but certainly not as much as you seem to think.

As for you're open question. Look again at what you have written. Your heading is a statement not a question. . . .

If you read down through this thread, you are full of negative views and criticism of what the band are doing, but you seem unable to understand any that may be in anyway directed at you or conflicts with your view

One last point. One liners, not really, but why write 600 words when a couple of lines says what needs to be said.

Brian is 70, Roger 68. I'm pretty sure they don't really need the money.

Of course it's not getting easier for them, but I respect them for going out there and doing their thing.
Many fans enjoy their shows.

These guys gave us a lot of good music. And great shows. They can do whatever they like.

We would all have loved Freddie and John to be there with them, but this is as good as it's going to get.

If you don't like it, don't go.

The header should be a bit different ... that's correct., but I just wanted t say that his age may cause a few problems down the road that forces Brian May to play at save these days

* I think his knee and personal health are mainly the reason he cycles each day on that machine for staying fit
* The show is not that risky and daring anymore when it comes to Brian's guitar playing. Read the previous treads to about his style of guitar playing and how Brian avoids playing the things that are difficult . Besides I think it's is really, because of the programmed lights, sounds and visual effects the band seems to play the songs in a kind of time frame.
* A lot of people complanined about the tempo of the songs. To slow which makes the songs loosing a bit of the magic.

Honestly rock&roll is a young man's game. For Brian & Roger to still be out there at 70 is frankly remarkable.
