Brian loses his sh*t in Brisbane :-(

@Brenski You yourself said you hated Brian not long ago so people in glass houses lol
I dont hate him i just think he has become very desperate to keep Queen on the road even if a nobody takes Freddie's place.
Brian has had terrible lapses of bad taste since 1991.

Brenski Karma does not buy the tickets the Glamberts do but Karma gets it own back on things or people that were done wrong!

show me where is said i actually hate him. i don't. i don't hate anyone on this planet - there's little point.

i may have said i don't like the Q+AL arrangement, but I also said that i respect their right to continue. so if you're going to say I said something, please quote me - like I quote you. or, if you can't find the comment (because it doesn't exist), then please retract your accusation.

Sorry i am not such a sad person that i have to search through all the posts to prove a point.
Quite frankly i am not bothered or petty to quote anyone on here i have a life sweetie.

Brian has posted his account of the situation on insta, I've copied it here:-

My Welcome to Brisbane !

First of all THANKS to so many of you folks who managed to find a way to send me supportive messages while I’ve been quietly trying to work my way through the feelings generated by the incident that happened at Brisbane Airport, just moments after I landed in Australia.
No – I’m not all right. But I will be. It certainly ruined my day, and if that’s what you wanted, Channel 7, then you got it. There’s a fine line between anger and depression, and I’ve been struggling with all of that since I got ambushed and harrassed by a TV News team, fresh off the plane from New Zealand. Now, obviously I’m not a novice at this … I’ve interacted with literally thousands of news reporters, photographers and cameramen over the last 50 years. I’m not exactly known for being aggressive, even in the face of provocation, but this guy caught me unawares – one of the rudest and most disrespectful video cameramen I’ve ever encountered. As we drove out of the airport, I noticed a small group of young kids with Queen albums, waving a welcome. I find it hard to just drive by in a case like this. Yes, they could have been pesky e-bay hounds just looking to make a quick buck, but these guys looked like very genuine fans. This stuff still matters to me. So we stopped the car and I got out to sign their Queen material, and they kindly gave me gifts of typically Australian goodies. Lovely. Pressed up against the kids was a guy with a huge TV camera. I’d noticed him, obviously, but I had no idea who he was – whether he was part of the party of kids, or a third party. I just let him film for the few moments I was signing the albums. But these kids were clearly very moved by the meeting, and I felt they deserved to have a few moments NOT being filmed for public sharing. So, in the nicest possible way, I turned to the cameraman and asked if he’d stop filming, now he’d got his story, and give us some private moments. He refused. He kept on filming, and aggressively turned the camera close-up on my face. That, to me, felt like deliberate invasion of my space, and downright unfriendly. At that moment, everything changed. (To be cont’d). Bri

(Continuing from previous post)

I asked the cameraman at least two more times to put the camera down, and so did the kids. One of them said “I’ve waited half my life to meet Brian and I don’t want it to be spoilt by you”. The guy carried on filming, and then I told him firmly to put the camera away, or else this would turn into an ugly incident. Finally, he pointed the camera upwards, and it was fairly obvious it was still turned on, recording sound. Now it takes quite a lot to get me rattled, but I was beginning to boil. Everyone has a tipping point, I think ? I carried on talking to the kids, trying to ignore the invasive presence, but he then pulled out his iPhone and began to film us with that. That was the final straw for me. I headed towards him with the intention of temporarily separating him from his phone, and actually put a hand on it, before my security guy gently dissuaded me. And then I realised I had walked straight into a trap. The guy now had what he wanted. He could cook this up into a story in which I was portrayed as an attacker on an innocent victim of a newsman. He possessed the only footage of the incident, so he or his bosses could edit it any way they wanted, to make me look like I lost my rag for no reason. And that, predictably, is exactly what Channel 7 did. They could have run a story about how we’d come over preparing to do our bit for Fire Fight Australia next week, or about the upcoming massively sold-out show in Brisbane, or even about how we’d had a nice welcome from some fans at the airport. But no … they ran the ‘story’ with a smug introduction about Brian May “attacking” a cameraman, followed by a cunningly edited version of the footage he’d shot, in which I come across as an aggressor. I regret getting angry, but angry I was, under what I regard as severe provocation, and to me the behaviour of the camera guy and the Channel 7 News Team is shabby and shameful. I’d like an apology from them all, but of course the chances of that are small. I don’t know whether it was all a set-up from the beginning – maybe so – or whether he just deliberately acted like an arse to create a story, but either way ...


(Continued from previous post)

...but either way, I’ve had a struggle not to feel abused and unwelcome. I’m sensible enough to know the vast majority of folks here are not in any way like this. I spent the afternoon today with my cousins, naturalised Aussies for the last 45 years, and felt massive warmth. And lots of you figured out how shitty I must be feeling and reached out to me … I’m eternally grateful. I’ve always loved Queensland, and that will never change … had some of the best times of my life on the Barrier Reef, and cried buckets seeing the tragedy of the Koalas and Kangaroos in the recent fires.
Tonight I still feel bruised, but finally being able to write this is a kind of therapy. I had to make my side of the story known. Being disrespected so publicly takes a little while to get over.
But now it’s over. And tomorrow morning I will get up and do my preparations, with intent to give one of the best performances of my life, fuelled by new lessons learned, and a determination to make the best out of all this.
And a detrmination to give our wonderful fans in Brisbane the best night of their lives !!! See ya there !
Bri
P.S. I’m in touch with Cooper Simmons, the young lad you see in the photo. Both he and his parents have been very supportive, and highly critical of Channel 7’s behaviour. But I haven’t been able to trace the other fans … send me message if your read this, guys.

The man is a terror. See attached pic of May attacking two fans earlier.*


*4 decades earlier, to be more precise.

^^^ Haha, good one.

Playing the innocent card and bringing up depression and animals again. A true May.
I wonder what his excuses were for losing his temper in the studio....

If he doesn't want a camera in his face, he has the right to say so. Regardless of whether he has been public property for 50 years, he is still a human being and if he gets angry at someone filming him, then he has that right. None of us own Brian May or any other member of Queen, and none of us has the right to decide how he should react to being filmed.

Brian May has an off day. So what. When was the last time anyone on this forum had an off day? Probably pretty often....[/QUOTE]

^ exactly this.

Brian clearly asked politely numerous times for the filmer to stop filming while he was spending time with a child. Brian is smart enough to know that it is illegal to use videos of children in the media, which is why the child's face is blurred out. He jumped to the child's defense as any decent person would do.

But of course leave it to the Queenzone keyboard warriors to ignore the context and use this to further reinforce their hatred for someone they've never met, and even attach previous events in Queen history to their twisted version of reality.

Try putting a camera in your face for decades with only slight reprieve, and we'll see how you react when you kindly ask a camera operator to let you have a private moment with someone and they ignore you repeatedly.

[QUOTE] [b]e-man wrote:[/b]

must be an awful part of the job of any musician who is as famous as Brian.
99,9% of the MANY stories from 1973 onwards all say the same thing; he is a very nice guy.

He's not 35 years anymore. Even though he travels like a king, the road must take its toll for a man his age. Combined with being sick of having cameras shoved up your face? I understand how he, and anyone else, can lose it.[/QUOTE]

^ bingo.

All of these rock stars are well into retirement age. They go on the road for months at a time instead of seeing their grandchildren, putting their bodies through hell, so that the public can enjoy hearing some of their favourite songs live for two hours.

The loudest voices on forums like this are clearly people who have zero understanding of this.

I'm shocked reading from another poster here that Brian told fans to f off. I'm no prude, but I doubt those fans were breaking laws, maybe they were just hoping for an autograph. [/QUOTE]

Not the first time I heard this. He is a moody guy. SOmeone told me he asked about Queen during one of his solo tours and he was very unfriendly telling the guy he is not here with Queen. What a dick[/QUOTE]

When's the last time you were in a band for 20 years, it suddenly ended, you wanted to move on from it, and were confronted with memories of it an off day?

And of course there is almost certainly further context to that story that you aren't including, because you weren't there.

You have zero perspective beyond your hatred. You are the dick, not him. Brian May remains universally respected, with the exception of about a half dozen people on this forum.

Well i think karma may be getting its own back for when Brian made Freddie look like a jerk in the film lol[/QUOTE]

True ;)[/QUOTE]

Of course you side with only other character on this forum who is as clueless and hate-filled as you. Par for the course.

[QUOTE] [b]runner_70 wrote:[/b]

He made Freddie look like a fool in the movie and now he looks like a big fool himself. Got it now?[/QUOTE]

No, because you are the fool here.

Brian May is a not a Hollywood writer. You clearly do not understand the process of how scripts are done, and who is involved, and when.

You are just making things up to justify your hatred for Brian May. You say you don't hate him, which is absolute nonsense. You have dedicated years of your life to relentlessly slandering him online, and you just can't pass up any opportunity to repeat your same talking points over and over again. It's clearly an addiction for you.

You may have lost the plot, but it doesn't mean people with even a cursory understanding of your activities have as well.

Despite your efforts, Queen - even in this incarnation - remain one of the biggest touring acts in the world.

You are a waste of sperm.

Thank you for pasting that here.

Anyone who reads this and still thinks Brian was out of line has zero hope of exhibiting a shred of empathy or understanding in their lives.

You are an arrogant dickhead who thinks May is shitting golden bricks smelling like roses. He has lost the plot ages ago and there are surely more than" half a dozen "on here that do not like him including those that worked with him for years like MACK and Ratty, SO shut up you sad wanker.
