Don't Stop Me Now

And yes I can't speak for Brian's opinions on the matter[/QUOTE]

Neither can I. Do you know who can? Brian. And Brian said he liked it, so...

and doesn't mean he's being dishonest, either does it?
you are unable to prove your claim - which in the absence of corroboration, renders it pure fantasy.

Sebastian just because Brian says he likes the song doesn't necessarily make it true you can tell by how he is in interviews that he's not going to be blunt about it. And it's not unreasonable to come to the conclusion that he wasn't a fan of the song when Roger is more or less winding him up for it.

My take is he wasn't a fan of what the song represented as opposed to the song itself.

@Brenski, what he said. [/QUOTE]

none of it. a song isn't just the lyrical meaning. yes, Brian may have not liked the hedonistic lyrics, but if he said he liked the song itself, then i believe him ...until he states otherwise. (musically, there's a lot to like)

He toured with Roger and Adam last year (and early 2020). He played DSMN on that tour. I think the only time it wasn't included was the Fire Aid gig in Australia (for obvious Setlist reasons).

There's no way you play a song night after night after night after night after night on a tour - if you hate it.

And if you happen to be a curmudgeonly old man suffering from depression, then there's no way you deliberately do things you hate.

your argument is void.

[QUOTE] [b]Freddie Jupiter wrote:[/b]Why this concerted effort to prove that he liked the song in the face of so much evidence to the contrary?
So what if he didn't like it? Who gives a shit? If you like it then that's all that should matter. [/QUOTE]

there's no actual evidence to back up your claim.

you're making sweeping generalizations here. one being that: those who say Brian never said he hated the song, must actually like the song themselves.
nonsense. when i was younger i loved the song - these days - i really have to be in the right mood to even listen to it. yep it's a great song - in almost every way, but it's no longer something i'd listen to much - if ever.

the point here, is that you are really just a gainsayer. i provided fairly sound reasoning for why i think he may actually like DSMN - ie playing it repeatedly (not something a depressive, who hated a song would be prone to doing).

Your response, misdirect the argument. surely, if you were open to reasoned discussion - the response to the above post would be "yeah, ok, fair point"
but none of that from you. as i said: gainsayer (that's your sole purpose here)
were it not the case, prove us wrong - agree for once.

[QUOTE] [b]Freddie Jupiter wrote:[/b]Brenski, once again who gives a shit if he didn't like it? Why is it so important to you that he liked it? That's what I don't understand. [/QUOTE]

it's not important whether he liked it or not - and never has been. what's important is the unfounded claims of some as to Brian's view.
YOU have alluded to Brian's not liking DSMN. you even alluded to him maybe commenting dishonestly about the song:

can you you not see this is the actual issue here?

Have you ever wondered what or who was trying to make Freddie stop when he sings "I don't want to stop at all"?

(No, I don't think it was his bandmates. And obviously it's not AIDS.)

but you can't have an unending song - even Bob Dylan has cut his latest tune to a mere 17 minutes :-)

So, to sum up:

If Brian's claims match what you think he's thinking/feeling, then he's being truthful.

If Brian's claims don't match your preconception or unsubstantiated internet rumours, then he's lying.

Makes sense...

Wow it seems I was on a rampage last night hahaha. Honestly my take is that Brian wasn't a fan of the song, not necessarily that he hated it more just it wasn't one he was particularly fond of. Doesn't matter either way anyway still a classic.

Brian doesnt like dont stop me now as it was written around the time Freddie started getting into danger and the song is about headonistic partying.

^^^^^ I agree. That was my take on Brian's comment as well. I don't think Brian meant any harm but just giving his feelings and observations about that time. It was pretty obvious that Freddie's hedonistic lifestyle had really ramped up around this time, unfortunately. I love the song but not what it represents.

Isn’t Fat Bottomed Girls about Brian’s way of hedonistic partying? Freddie must have hated that song for that reason!

[QUOTE] [b]Freddie Jupiter wrote:[/b]Brian never partied. He was always home by 9 to read a bedtime story to his children. Haven't you seen the Queen movie?[/QUOTE]

then why are YOU still commenting on it? either you do give a shit, or you don't.

oh i get it...you just want to keep twisting and turning threads in as many anti-Brian directions as you can.

Quack-Quack Gezza!
