Brian's said before that as long as they don't change the lyrics, anyone can cover a song without the artist's permission as long as they pay the proper royalties.

makes sense I suppose. I guess Hung isn't really making fun of Queen. He really does try to sing. I think everyone knows that the reason people watch and listen to him is bc it is funny.

There is a huge difference between the cover of a song and making your private life a public joke. A song is only a song but your marriage is personal and close to your heart. Brian did not say that the TOFBRA people are "bad fans" he said who has fans like these does not need enemies and I have to agree. I am sure it was not very "smart" of Brian to respond to the website on his soap box but I can fully understand that he is hurt and angry about some people who think it's their god given right to write fiction about real peoples' lives and turn it into a cheap soap opera. If I were Brian's son I would remove the link, too and if I were Jen I would kick it off my list, too. They are friends and family of Brian and it's only natural that they protect his feelings.
I also agree with Robin about the guest book entry by chancellor amethyst, this was really low.

I agree. Nothing more to add :)

It seems idiots can do and say what they want on the world wide web! With this in mind I guess this sort of childish toilet humour is only to be expected!
I have revised my position on this site having read all the crap posted on the forum yes I don't like it and FUCK YOU.
If this is the behaviour of real fans then they are nothing like the 100's of REAL Queen fans I have met over the last 30 years. Queen and the four members do not deserve or need this utter shite!

OMG -- I can't get used to that, it's blinding me!! (Brian's stage wear -- OOH it's too busy!!)
And what the hell is that thing on his guitar, a sock? Did Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers leave a calling card?? *snicker*

For the record.
Jen is a moderator of the BMML list and is NOT a list owner of either the BMML or WWRY lists.

Does Brian make a habit of commenting on fans sites?
How does he rate them? On a scale of 1 to 10?
If so, I'd be curious to know what he thought of
www.queeble.com that site is bloody hilarious, though with his seemingly sad sense of humour, I don't think it would rate well !
What do you guys think of it? Or do you have to wait until he gives it the green light?

Im fab ta Lis. Good name, i had no idea it was you! Been toping up ya posting nos?! You are nearly the same no as me! What about all this Brian stuff?
Lisser · Member since
lol chaz..I don't pay any attention to my post count ;)
I am middle of the road on this Brian thing. I look at and thought the site was a parody like Saturday Night Live, BUT I haven't had enough time to read the whole site. So I am not sure really what all is said on it. I think someone oh here said that there were some pretty harsh things said about his wife and children are on the site??? I think that is what I read on here. I know I would be very pissed if someone dogged my kids and husband, VERY pissed. Now if I were in a spotlighted position like Brian is, I personally (probably) wouldn't let it be know what bothered me though. Just bc I know how some people are, for example tabloid folks. If they see a wound, they will keep trying to draw blood.
But..(I have a lot of buts) I don't think that just bc Brian is in a spotlighted position that he doesn't have feelings nor the right not to express his feelings. So you see that I am middle of the road. Booooring huh?
I see the right of the TOFBRA people to say what they want on a computer screen and I also see how it could/has affected Brian. He has a right to voice his disgust or liking of any site or anything just as the TOFBRA folks can say how they dislike or like Queen, Charmin toilet paper, peanut M&Ms, etc.
So there it is, what about you? How do you feel about it?
