Well, it was kinda rude of Elton to say that about the We Will Rock You play in front of Brian, when he worked hard on the play.
But, about the other things, yeah, I guess he was a bit moody...but, hey, all of us are moody sometimes, and its only human to be moody!!

Brian takes things too personally.
He should brush these comments off like Freddie.
What does he mean 'Billy Elliot doesn't ROCK' - everything doesn't have to.....
Anyway - why no Scottosh dates?

I really don't mean this to be offensive, because we are all at one time or another, a bit moody.
It just strikes me that Brian bares his soul on his website sometimes, and he doesn't always come across very well - often he is very defensive and he always responds to criticism by going on the attack, even when some of it is justified.
For example, Elton John as been quoted of late saying that he doesn't think the musical We Will ROck You is very creative.
And i'd have to agree with him.
It's a wafer thin plot strung together to make use of the best Queen songs. The actualy musical is FANTASTIC and it's the best night of entertainment I've had in ages, but it's certainly not creative in the same way as scoring a new musical is.
Yet Brian, rather than think about this point, has gone on the attack, going off at Elton and effectively saying that because We Will Rock You has run for so long, it MUST be creative.
He completely misses the point Elton John made, i think. It's not the first time - when the stuff came up in the press about Sun City he went on the defensive and tried to rewrite history a little bit rather than just saying 'yeah, we made a mistake and we're sorry - here's what we've done since to prove we're not racist'.
When Queen failed to win best British single at the Brits, he went on about how the voting was skewed in favour of certain artists. Would he have done that if Queen had won? Of course not.
Just my tuppence - I think he's a great artist, and I know he's had so much from teh press that it probably makes him very cagey, but I wonder if he realises that being like that on his website makes him seem sometimes quite bitter.
I have to agree with this. Of course Brian is a good guitarist etc, thats not the argument. I feel like i dont even know him anymore, he just uses his site to whine on and on about the press and people who dont like something hes done. a little criticism is how somebody improves themselves. You dont hear Roger doing it, Brian should just realise that after 30 years at it, hes always going to get people who arent impressed by him. Just get over it Brian and do what you like.
sun city was wrong. and different to russia
And what's the difference? To me - I am a Russian - only difference is that they played in Sun City and didn't play in my country.
Oh well, Elton John. Look at him. He's an old faggot who's been on his way back since...well, 20 years. Who cares?
I don't.
Queen meant much more for music history anyway so let the old bore say whatever he wants to say.
I don't like his glasses btw.

Yes, you're right, but our regime had a lot of other stupid things. You could be arrested for listening 'wrong Western music' in the end of 70s or for watching 'wrong Western movies'.
No...not at all! I think his comment about Elton John was just fine. I have been to his website many many times and that thought has never crossed my mind! Actually, he seems to be one of the nicest entertainers I have ever... well, met in a sense and the fact that he actually takes time out of his busy schedule (< I spelled that wrong didnt i?) to communicate with us fans is amazing! I would think it over again until you realize how wrong it is to say that about him!
Brian may be a bit of a moody git but he's my moody git.
heh...
i h8 brian may
I'm sure the feeling's mutual you snot-nosed little punk.
Your mommy should take away your computer rights.
Your spending too much time on it and you're falling behind in all of your classes.
I think Brian takes things a little too serious!
For example, the article that a journalism has made speacking how he would like to see Brian, Beck, clapton, and Page caught a drug overdose and die in the early seventies so that they couldn´t remind him how old he was (or something like that).
I mean, i understood the joke or his point of view, and probably he was a bit incorrect but Brian really over reacted saying that the journalism wants him dead and missing the article real intention.
I think Brian needs atention or lovecare and that´s why he have this kind of relation with his fans. I really think we are contributing for his emotional stabilitty.

I admire Brian for all he's done throughout his career but he's getting way too obsessive with things...
Anytime someone makes a negative comment on his work he starts whining and defends it like a kid. He can't take any criticism at all.
And most of the time he writes about uninteresting things on his soapbox where you ask yourself when reading "doesnt he have better things to do and to think about?"
I think the last time I read his soapbox he was writing about "orbs" in pictures all the time and that was actually what made me stop reading his website.
