Yeah. . . no argument from me on that point.

Why does Brian spend any of his free time worrying or responding to this dumb shit?

That's what so weird about this. . . The neurotic hypersensitivity that some little Argentinian guy's remark on a chat forum is cause damage. Come on!
I've heard things like that about people who become incredibly famous and wealthy . . . they can kind start to lose perspective on things. . .

why don't you explain that to brian, I am sure he would more believe you than these scumback of journalists.... maybe make a copy of you entry at queenzone to him. + apologize..[/QUOTE]
Why should he apologize for his opinion? Brian should make rather an apology. This IS insulting when your star says about you: "With fans like this, who needs enemies". I know that Brian is over-sensible, and can't stand if someone doesn't think the way he does (only-child syndrome), but this is going too far. The clever one of Queen should use his brain before he makes such insulting and actually non-sense statements.
But I want to stress that it was just my opinion, and I have a right to have one. Even if others don't like it.[/QUOTE]It's also insulting towards him to tell that Queen died back in 91, Freddie did, and Freddie is not Queen, but made part of Queen... It's like telling that because Freddie died back in 91 that he's no use anymore... How would you feel if you have worked that long and that hard to have create something and than just been traited like his no-one anymore... childsyndrome, many people here do have that here to (including me) as we all are arguing about the same topic for ages and we keep replying and replying and replying....
do you think it's right to say that it wouldn't be desant to replace freddie and for queen going on under the name if because of that matter.... but it's not wrong if you would replace Brian or Roger... I am sorry to tell this but if it's unrespectfull like some ppl say here to continue Queen because freddie died than, I think it would be as unrespectfull to continue Queen without Brian or Roger...

well, i`ve to say that yesterday, i wrote an email to brian and today he reply
he said to me that he understand what i`ve tried to say and he understand the behaviour of the journalist (taking my quote out of context)
well, for me it`s an honor to receive a brian`s mail, and to know that one of my idols is not angry with me
he will publish my letter on brianmay.com
i cant believe it

Well, feedback means a lot. And after all these years, taking the Queen 'animal' out on the road with only half of its original lineup - I can understand how Brian could be *very* insecure about this...this tour could have completely bombed/been a total disaster.
Luckily, the boys are known for their showmanship, their professionalism, and their reputation for putting out some of the best music of the 20th (and 21st) century(ies). This was a BIG gamble for them - luckily they hit the jackpot!

I posted that NY Times article Sunday and what's wierd, is I took the majority of that article, especialyy the first huge paragraphs about Queen+Paul Rodgers...as positive, and that it was pointing out, when a rock band loses a member to death, and gets a new member, that in many instances,...it works out and is a GOOD!!!! thing.
I perceived the part with KingMercury's quote as a brief afterthought, that just showed objectivity and 2 sides to every story and that a SMALL number of fans may not agree.
Monday, I saw Brian post the article and his livid comments and I thought he completely took it out of context and made a small comment that KingMercury made...
...that was not that bad at all and just an honest opinion...
....and obviously did not reflect the like 99% of fans on Queenzone who are all for the tour and Paul Rodgers, and it seems so in the NY Times article too, which I thought was supportive in its first few paragraphs, and I thought he brought very angry/livid out of proportion reaction to something that I din't take that way at all.
I know every person can read an article and perceive what it's meaning to say differently, but I thought the point of the article is that...
...sometimes a ''replacing'' a band's deceased member works...
...sometimes it does not....
..but in the case of Queen+Paul Rodgers..it DOES work...stating that the tour has been ''selling out arenas across Europe''.

TO Kingmercury:
I wrote myself to Brian on your behalf and as a fan, IMO he had absolutely no right to chew you out personal on this.
You have absolutely every right to express your opinion and I think Brian May has seem to forgotten that this noticeboard is all about FREE SPEECH!!!
As a writer myself I was apalled that he took aim at you for being quoted which is something you had no idea would be done.
I am also a defender of FREE SPEECH and I may not agree with your opinion KingMercury but I will defend your right to express it.
Best Regards,
Krizzy :o)

Yes Krizzy that's right. Brian May was utilising his right to "express his opinion". I think they call it "free speech"....

all this thing is very satrange for me
just imagine...you post an opinion on a queenforum, a journalist take out of context your quote and publich it on the ny times, then one of your idols, brian may, read that and get angry, and because of that, you send an email to him explaining what really happened
and theeeen, he reply, sayin`to you that he apologizes if what he said made to much pain on you
this is incredible
but brian knows how the daily papers works, and that made he understand me
he showed me how big and what kind of person he is
he`s brillant
no more words

The bravest thing a man can do is admitting he was wrong... so kudos to Bri!

I didn't say that KingMercury was right. I just wrote that he has the right to express his thoughts, even if he is totally wrong. Than you can tell him you don't think so. Or you can even ignore his comments. It's the sense of any healthy discussions.
At the end it was good that KM sent a letter to Brian and he (I mean BM) posted it on his website telling the world he made a mistake. But I still can't understand how he "fell in the trap" of manipulating journalism.

It is easy to fall in the traps of a journalist.... sure now this days....
I didn't said that for you about the Brian part if he would have died.... I said it in responce of one of the messages about ... and some other did aswel while ago within another topic.... somebody told a few weeks ago it's not respectful to use the name queen because Freddie died... but it's alright if brian, roger or john would have died... This looks strange logic...

If Brian died in 1991, and Freddie, Roger & John (I presume John would still be touring if Freddie were here...I'm 90% sure) were touring with Eric Clapton filling in for Brian.
The Queen + Eric Clapton tour.
As you all know the current situation...no Freddie, Queen name still in use...some fans don't care....some fans majorly pissed.

Hey, I still stand by the words I said in that story -- I wanna see them play! Curious to see how all this gets played out here in the QZ. In the end, the love you make is equal to, yadda yadda yadda.
And no letter from Brian :(!!!
