maybe you can explain to a dutch fan who doesn't know a 100.000 words in English what a winalot and lapdog is?
Reading your previous postings on the forum I guess this isn't positive...

I find S@turn's words disturbing. "if he wants everyone to do just legal activities, then he is not realistic" - "and since the dvd is not there yet.. shall we wait with supporting til then? I guess not"
Not bothering to wait for a dvd/cd release? Check the website and lap up the freebies then. Or if you want to support the cause, download tracks for a price. Otherwise, stick to what it legitimate. Even the entire concert can be streamed via video or audio for FREE!
Lucy was high... - "I haven't called, donated, or anything with this 'great' project. Personally, I think it's stupid."
Shame. But you're entitled to your opinion. But don't forget that people may be downloading without bothering to give anything to the charity. It's wrong and cannot be excused.
Peace,
Adam.

I would agree with 'Lucy' - If you cared to read his posting properly, you would have noted that he hasn't downloaded or heard anything from 46664 - Not the act of a parasite.
I don't need you or Brian May to tell me where to donate my money, tanx.

Adam, you're misunderstanding Saturn,
what he means is "shall we wait with donating till the dvd comes out, i guess not" , implying that you can donate now already even when you have to wait for the dvd and donate again by buying that dvd.
And if someone says a song is 'crap', then he knows the song and also knows how to find www.46664.com ....
Not donating because you think a song is crap is 1 of the most stupid reasons I've ever heard. Why don't you just say that your a selfish guy who likes to keep every penny for himself heh?
And never mind Ogre, from seeing previous postings I'm not doing into a debate with this guy. I'm not calling names, but you can imagine what I think of him :-)

And if Ogre doesn't want anyone to tell him where to donate, then I hope he's not downloading the 46664 songs for free...

No he hasn't.

proton, are you no longer welcome at QOL or something?
Maybe it's QueenForever shutting down that brings you back here, I don't know. But you continue to talk stepfordian gibberish, half-read people's posts in a manner exactly like Dark, and generally make yourself about as unpopular as possible. Quite an achievement, in the current climate.
You seem a bit defensive of QMS. Not sure why, but I found the other posts on the subject to be representative of my own experience. Used to be good but now marginalised by boards like this, and increasingly pointless.
Now scuttle off back to your pirated copies, won't you...

I'm entitled to my own opinion so shut the F*** up.

I must admit I feel alienated too, not only by the remarks of Brian regarding 46664 downloads, but his whole attitude towards his fans in general.
Brian getting in touch with his fans like he does could be nice, though i prefer the rockstar status he had back in the eighties, when you could not email Brian, and he certainly didn't get in touch with us, the fans, which was fine really, the music spoke for itself.
Can we imagine how Brian would have reacted if someone would dare to discuss Queen playing Sun City, breaking the boycot of bands not playing there to support the fight against apartheid? If I recall correctly Queen did NOT support an important issue back then, just for the sake of their own bank account (parasites anyone?), how dare they shake hands with Mandela....
As i said I feel alienated too, I AM a Queen fan, but for me it's more and more obvious Queen should have let down the curtain after NOBY.......

One more thing; it is called Brian's SOAPBOX for a reason. It is his forum to express his opinions, right or wrong. If you log on to his site and read his opinions, you cannot then complain that he is telling you what to do, you just have to make up your own mind.
ogre t raylot
No-one is denying him the right to express opinions - but to call your own fanbase 'parasites' is not very good PR.
Adam Baboolal
It's directed at HIS fans? Are you sure it's not a widespread message to all. But not excluding Queen fans?
akan
i think brian is right because he speaks to all the people who download stuff illegally and generally he speaks to all the 'true' fans who wouldn't download illegally if they support totally the project as 'true' fans.Maybe his reaction was a little premature and some fans can feel 'offended'...but i find that it would be better to shout out the fact soon...;)

If I shut the fuck up, aren't I losing the right to my own opinion?
Just a thought. Thanks for your intellectual response though.

I don't really understand how Brian's post is upsetting all you people, you're taking this much too personal. You're like kids who are annoyed because they got caught stealing a cookie or something. What kind of crazy fanbase is this when "virtually 99%" of it gets extremely pissed because of one rant by Brian? Loosen up!
