Have you ever met a Queen member? Would you prefer to meet Brian or Roger?

I dont say names, cause then the babies are gonna send some crying messages on Facebook, or not Sikke?

Good lord you idiotic single digit IQ Feyenoord hooligan. Learn some English for fucks sake. At least then reading your drivel will be over quicker. I'm ashamed to share a country with you. You even make the same mistake as foreigners referring to The Netherlands as Holland. You do know Holland is only two provinces? Dude you live in one of them. Almost every comment you make on here makes you sound more stupid than before. Be it in the Announce section or in a discussion thread like this. Only spouting bile or some other dumb shit.Go shout at your tv while your team fucks up another season.and some more of their typical "fans" like you get banned from attending. You seem to be nothing more than another asshole who is allergic to normal comments and intelligence as you have proven for a long time now. Here's to hoping you fuck with a condom till the day you expire. Cheers!

Met Brian, Roger and Rufus in Glasgow circa 2010/11 when WWRY was on at The Kings: Brian was nice, took time to talk with us, pose for pics and sign autographs. Roger, for some reason, was in a cunt of a mood and went straight to his car. I was the only one he said hello to on the way, I think simply because I wasn't pushing a CD or pen in his face for a signature like everyone else was. Rufus spent ages talking with me about Queen, other music, his dad and future plans. If memory serves me right, it was Rufus who told me to stay put at the theatre because Brian was still inside (the staff had told us to beat it and that Brian had already left). Rufus seems a pretty cool guy.

Ive met Phoebe and David Richard. I rather meet David again though he's dead, than Maylor.

I'm kind of glad I'll never meet them, Brian in particular - I love the guy and most of the music he's done, but you can just tell when someone wouldn't have time for your bullshit, and I think this is one of those occasions.
Which is fine - I'm grateful for the tunes.

I don't think I will be able to meet them. But I am one of those who believe in the statement, ' better to not meet your favorites'.

Fortunate to have met Brian four times and each time gave me goosebumps. He was so kind. Once commenting that he liked my Freddie shirt. Another time when I told him I was getting married and he could come to the wedding, he asked "When is it?" I knew he wouldn't come but the fact that he asked that rather than saying no or brushing it aside says a lot about him. One other time I interviewed him for a story and he was incredibly open, sweet and kind. Highlights of my life.

... still waiting on Roger.

They say you should never meet your heroes, and I haven't. Always felt that I'd rather go for a drink with Roger than Brian, but on the other hand when it comes down to having a real conversation, Brian would be far less likely to tell me to go fuck myself.

I (Or rather my Auntie Jean, cause she was driving) did tail John once after one of the Liverpool Empire shows on the Crazy Tour but his driver went through a red light and lost us. (We were trying to see where they were staying).
Later found that the band went to a club after the first show that a friend of the family owned. They got a menu signed but it got lost before reaching me.
They (The club owners) had no clue who they were but when told they comped the meal.

Rich Famous people get a lot of free shit.

I think I would feel more comfortable meeting Brian than Roger. Brian gives off a much more "open" vibe while Roger seems like he would always be pulling away from you as you tried to talk.

I met them in 1979.

At the time I was an autograph hungry fan, Roger was friendly asked my name and signed the autograph to me. .


John was shy and said very little apart from mmm! A couple of times but did sign JR Deacon Queen Dec 79!

Freddie was the one I felt was pulling away, he signed my program while telling me he was in a rush!

Brian chatted to me about his guitar, photography and music. He only stopped talking when someone ( could have been Prenter) said Brian and flashed his watch. Brian made his apologies and said he was running late and left.

I met them again individually over the next few years, not always as a fan and I've met Brian and Roger a few times in the last few years.

Brian is indeed the most approachable but Roger can be quite chatty if he is in the mood or isn't busy.

Wow...Vocal Harmany!

Thank you for sharing that! Yeah, Freddie never had a reputation of being "great" with the fans but I think a lot of it was the "role" he thought he had to play to keep in the fans esteem as kind of amn untouchable 'god".

*Harmony*

I bumped into John Deacon in 1976 in Hamleys Toy Shop in Regent St. London just before Christmas when I was 15.
This wasn't long after I saw Queen Live for the first time at Hyde Park.
By a sheer coincidence I had purchased a Queen poster earlier in the day and asked him if he would sign it.
Poor chap must have wondered how I already had a Queen poster under my arm as I proceeded to unravel it, but he duly signed it with a smile.
Next thing he was inundated with autograph requests (sorry John!)
I hung on to that poster on the way home like it was the most precious item in the world!
Nearly eight years later I bumped in to him again outside the venue of the ''Break Free'' video shoot when he opened a door and asked me if I had a cigarette!
I explained that my girlfriend (now my wife) and I had got there late for the filming and the doors were locked and we couldn't get in.
During our chat I reminded him about that Hamleys incident eight years earlier and apologised, but he had no memory of it LOL!
Being the nice chap he is he escorted us inside so we could watch the filming.
I even got to stand next to Freddie when he had a break, and got autographs from all of the band.

Cool story, Kurgan?

What were your impressions of the rest of the band?

I didn't speak to the other band members, my wife got the autographs.
