Sonja, I guess I'd better shut up now.... just know that I'm disappointed about your thoughts (it may happen) and your act (i thought it's not gonna happen again?).
cheeers!
Errr..what?? I'm just saying what I think about Brian's comments and the way he handles his popularity and his fans!
I'm not offending you just because I don't agree with you. I don't agree with many of the comments in this topic, so what?
Each one has their own opinion about it.
Take it easy, Lu.
Sorry folks I have to stick up for Dr. May on this one. No matter how famous or infamous one person is, the media can be relentless. The UK seems to be worse than any other media (although I could be wrong).
I have seen this sort of thing first hand having worked for several famous people in my younger years( & I'm not old), they would persue the famous actor I worked for, for several hours while he jogged around Central Park until he finally relented and gave them a few words and pictures.
Fame is a two-edged sword but being famous should not give the media a RIGHT to be stalkers with Press passes, sorry.
Brian May has a right to his privacy just like everyone else.
Krizzy you're definitely right, but I think the point is another (at least for me): it's about Brian May complaining and spitting rage towards people and facts on a web page.
Besides that, I totally agree with Brian: people can be so annoying, when they meet VIP.
"Besides that, I totally agree with Brian: people can be so annoying, when they meet VIP"
Pretty much true. Just remember Modena last year. I was patiently standing there, waiting for Brian to come closer while the others simply jumped on him right after he stepped out of the limo, screaming "Brian, we love you" and trying to touch him. I couldn't believe my eyes.
You are so right Hangman! LOL! But Brian is sooo stressed these days...besides he handles stress a heck of lot differently then Roger Taylor. Roger seems to a lot of ppl to be the more reserved of the two especially with all that is going on within the Queen organization these days. Either that or he's on some powerful tranqulizers! LOL
Having just read his latest 'rant' on his soapbox, I find it unbeleivable that he can sometimes talk the way he does. Fair play, he sticks up for Wayne Rooney and Slates Ken Livingston, but to go on about autograph hunters and picture takers the way he does really annoys me. Who put themselves in that position in the first place??? He's always been one of the most recognised people in the world, and people arent gonna ignore him! Im sorry Brian, if you dont like it - lump it! We dont need to hear it!
i have had friends that have had quite a bit of contact with Brian, and i was never really jealous because i like keeping a distance. Heroes are only heroes from a far.

I am sure you told him about the plastic surgery he needs, his overweight and his hair extension and how you pray for his marriage because of all these imperfections - just to prove your utmost regard. Too bad that John Deacon does not make himself such an easy target for your deep affection.
totally agree with richard on this one. it was actually devistate me if i met any of them because i would be let down. we put them on such pedestals dont we? after all, they are just human
Depends on what you mean with "meeting". I don't think you'll be in for a let-down or utter devastation if you'll just have a quick chat. So don't worry ;)
I understand his feelings but don't understand why he has to publish them the way he does, because it won't help, and he should know that after all these years.
I would still ask him for his autograph and take a picture if possible if I ever saw/met him though. I'm sorry it makes him upset or whatever but I would probably kill myself if I didn't.
Yup. Better to have an upset Brian than a dead you. I'm with you on that one. :)
To quote Freddie: "Oh, this is fun!..."
I don't see many of Brian's stature (in the music industry) answering emails from fans on their own website. Brian is very rare -- he really does care what fans think. Even though he's a tad busy with musicals, DVDs and CD re-re-re-releases, he takes (makes!) time to talk and give his opinions.
I think that's the person he is (and a caring Cancer at that). I have the utmost regard for him because he's answered many of my emails and even wrote me once asking about Nashville, which was out of the blue and very unexpected! Brian's a very normal human being, and a great person as well as a super performer (and astronomer!). We should all be thankful he's not like other celebrities that don't remember the fans who are responsible for their popularity -- talk about biting the hand that feeds them!
I think Freddie would have been the same way, and maybe John too had he not virtually disappeared from view. Roger's much too busy and it's not really in his nature to be like Brian. I'm sure he does care about his fans but he has other fish to fry!
I agree. I love reading Brian's Soapbox and leaving messages for him. My son also likes leaving him messages. I hope I have the honour someday of meeting him,that would be really cool;)
