Brian is FURIOUS!

I'm buying the DVD when it comes out too, and i'll download the songs :)

I respect Brian as a musician(and great guitarist),but not as a person.

"We'll all buy the dvd anyway, that's clear"

I sure will! It's for a great cause! I'll buy a couple copies of the CD too.

I don't know how many of you have downloaded the songs from Kazaa or recorded the concert from TV, but the important thing is that you buy the CD and the DVD once they come out.

I recorded the concert, and downloaded a couple of tracks from Kazaa, but yet still I can't wait for the CD and DVD to come out. I'm sure most people here will buy it the first day it comes out.

Well knowing that Brian is quite pissed at the moment, it seems that the train of thought going through his mind is "I will not offer the DVD or Cd". Now if he was smart, which I think he is, he should apologise for this message, and release them.
The thing about being a fan is that if the product is shite, we will still buy it. it's the fan psyche!

instead of getting all bent out of shape or deciding for yourself what B's true intent was- why not wait until there is a clarification since its been asked for???

seems people are damning B for the very thing they themselves are doing-- assuming ..... what if your wrong???? what if you have read more into it then was intended??? (hell that happens here all the time in chat or postings where intent taken the wrong way-- or due to language barriers misunderstood(an example only) )

what if the parasites comment-- is aimed solely at people or even fans with no intention of buying or supporting 46664- and instead are downloading it for their own financial gain buy selling bootlegs and copies???

that money if this is the case couldve gone to the charity--which was the whole point of the concert- to rasie awareness and money to help fight AIDS in Africa--

then again i am sure there are those who will still feel they deserve to have it or it is 'owed' to them for some reason or they have the right to take it or go around requested avenues to get it... seems the acceptable norm these days

I REALLY have to agree with the eagle here! Well said!

I seem to remember that one of the guys emphasized in a previous interview that the 46664 project mainly was concerned of creating AWARENESS - and not so much about collecting money. It was about 'giving minutes of your TIME'. Thus the free broadcast offer to television stations, etc. - So, I agree totally with Your Valentine's brilliant post on page 1...and I feel very badly about a rock star who only seem to count his 'true fans' among those who BUY as much as possible...Fans come together in a love for the music and the image and ideology the band stands for. If they didn't, the rock stars wouldn't be able to use their celebrity icon images to create AWARENESS about anything at all. Being a Queen fan is for me to be rooted in an emotional, creative joyous feeling...there is enough commercialism.

Eagle, I should think that Brian is long enough at the internet to have to know that a less general note should make him way more respected than this emotional lines

If he is indeed meaning to say what is in your arguements, hw should have said that in the posting, instead of creating so much dust

Calm down, Brian, we still love you

i think its people creating the dust ringman-- not Brian--

after his one post he hasnt said anything else.... but you look on the mailing lists-to bulletin boards--seems everyone else is doing all the talking-the second guessing--the Brian damning...

I can see where he is comming from.

Brian still has my respect, he's simply exaggerating the matter

on another note since mentioned earlier from the 46664.com site--

The 46664 concert, which aims to raise awareness of the global HIV/Aids pandemic, as well as funds for South Africa, was inspired by the vision and leadership of former president Nelson Mandela,


looks like AWARENESS and FUNDS to me ......

Me, personally, I think he and others will use it as a nice excuse explaining why they didn't make enough money for the benefit...personally...I think it's absolute bullcrap..there were lots of people who donated..and anyway...this charity won't help because the governments are all screwed up...you can have all the money in the world...but everything will still be messed up...I don't see how Live Aid helped...I know it's for Freddie and all the others...but...money doesn't take problems away or make them better. we wouldn't be having 46664 if Live Aid had made a significant difference..anyway..I think Brian has been a little strange ever since he recorded We will rock you with Britney Spears...don't you?..anyway..that's my opinion..hate it..like it...share it..do whatever you want with it...but I will never call you a parasite for doing so...I am a little angry at Brian too...but I don't even know how to download music...but parasite was the wrong choice of words...
