May - Descending Further Into The Abyss

@Brenski You do com across very immature and to be honest you've done nothing on here but rant rant rant !
Brian has done awful projects after 1991 and tacky ones at that.
I do not hate him that i want him dead but in the last 8 years he has become manipulative and a user of the media. He flips if he cannot have his own way and i hate his version of Queen.

No commas, an uncapitalized "I", and a misspelling ... Gerry hit the Trifecta again. He must be very rich.

. . . . Did he feel ok there getting that camera in his face or was he about to rant and tell people to bog off you little parasite lol[/QUOTE]

That camera was obviously being operated by someone he knows in his own recording studio, and Brian chose to post it to let people (fans) know what he had been doing.

The camera guy in Australia was a media guy encroaching on some fans time with Brian, it's pretty obvious Brian was trying to give those fans some personal time and space.

I'm amazed that being a long standing Queen fan, who must be aware of the bands brushes with the media through the years, you really can't see Brian's side in all this

To be honest Brian is outside in the street so how on earth can he scream that he wants to be in private he is totally nuts.
If he wants private time then take those kids to his hotel for goodness sake.

he's not Rolf Harris or Garry Glitter !!!

Ha ha you never know these days do you?
He maybe wanking badgers off lol

lol that was funny I give you that

Just saw that May posted a Gofund me reuqest for his girlie band. How embarrassing can it get. Millionaire rockstar is using the kids as promotion tool and producing them and he is that expensive
that they cannot afford the production costs and have to ask their supporters. What is wrong with this guy?????

If that is what he is doing he is doing no different to David Gilmour.

He financed and provided Kate Bush with recording time and space to record her demos which he took to EMI who then signed her.

Once signed she or EMI paid him for the studio time and production fees. Like Brian he could have done it for nothing, but why should he foot the bill for studio staff and running costs. The real help is that someone of that magnitude has got behind your band/work.

The other thing is if he did do this free of all charges he would be inundated with people, talented or not, saying what about us.

The other thing that you aren't aware of, obviously, is that his band are starting out in a professional industry and want to be viewed as such. Also they are probably aware that a following and therefore a market can be built without a record company clawing back their percentage.

The world doesn't march to rocker boy Weckwerth's beat luckily.

To be honest everything Brian touches will flop. Be it Kerry Ellis who's Cds always end up in the bargain bin for a £1 or recording with a druggie Dappy
Brian is very talented for flopping with these talent less club acts!

I wouldn’t blame that on Brian. If there’s a demand and somebody wants the service, all the power to ‘em. They don’t have to work with Brian, even though that is awesome they want to.

What I do not like in the smaller people’s music business are the Kickstarters, GoFundMe’s, etc.

It is becoming rampant in local music scenes everywhere and all it is, is just laziness mixed with not paying your dues.

These girls are definitely young, older than me, because I’m 22, but I guarantee they have not payed their dues. When I say that, I mean - from personal experience - tour around the country with nothing in your pocket, because the last couple dollars from the night before’s gig went into repairing the van, so you can play the following night and maybe recoup “some” money. Having to play to 20 people, so you can make a $100 dollars, so you can drive to the following gig and then play to a couple hundred. How about having to get sides jobs while in high-school to save for the tour’s merch, then leaving school for two weeks to tour?

This sounds like someone who is jaded, but I assure you it is not. This is just personal experience intertwined with what I have seen time and time again. I can see the pattern it is creating within the new music scene’s generations. It pats people on the back and creates a facade that you don’t have to work for what you want, you don’t put in the blood, sweat, and tears.

I truly believe this is ALSO why music suffers today, there’s no hunger and with people cushioning others like this, there’s no reason for the hunger. You know you don’t have to fight to be on top.

Sorry for the rant. Just something I see more and more, most of the people here aren’t involved with the smaller scaled music scene, so maybe it’s a little insight on what’s happened with these kickstarters.

As long as you don't have a musical or a financial contribution, the term "producer" is inappropriate.
Even when Brian really produced a band (Heavy Pettin') his input was hardly quantifiable.

"- What do you mostly remember from the recording session of Lettin' Loose? I guess you were all very excited just to be there in the studio with May?

- I remember Brian May did not play guitar by request or for pleasure. He said his job was to produce the band.
I also remember having to ask Roger Taylor to leave the sound room because his presence was putting me off recording a solo. He couldn’t understand that I found it difficult to perform before him. Neither could I.
But what I remember most about the recording session was Brian May telling me the story of when Queen recorded their first album and the band’s first tour of America and meeting Steven Tyler for the first time and...
I was in total silence when Brian let me into his memories and I was in total awe of his sincerity and down-to-earth attitude to life."

Apparently, for someone like Brian, "to produce" means to inspire others by sharing his exceptional understanding of life.
It would have been nice to hear a few riffs from him, but wtf, when you are so lucky to be in the same studio with Nietzsche it's more important to hear his thinking rather than his guitar playing.

Give a guitar to Steve Morse and he will be able to put out something from his 45 years career with Dixie Dregs, Kansas and Deep Purple.
Give a guitar to Brian May and he will tell you a great story about himself (including astrophysics). Just be careful not to take any pictures.
