Queen's Brian May has been placed 4 in Q magazines as a pathetic rockstar

Queen's Brian May has been placed 4th in Q magazines light-hearted look at the 25 most pathetic rock stars.

In the write up it says Brian, despite being a member of one of the worlds debauched rock bands he seldom drank, never took drugs and hated promiscuity.

His Astromony interests are also mentioned. His "least Rock and Roll moment" is playing on the roof of Buckingham Palace. Also included in the list are Chris Martin, Nicky Wire and the number one was Lou Reid.

Im totally shocked, what just because he doesnt follow the other rockstars and copy them with there drug taking habbits and sleeping with too many groupies...
Thats just sterotypist....

Shit sorry guys i made too many on the board it was by mistake! Sorry lol!

In MY book, that makes Brian the #1 COOLEST Rock star ever!

The most pathetic ones are the DEAD ones who lived self destructively on a roller coaster ride of drugs, booze, promiscuous non safe sex..

what's cool about worms eating hedonists John Bonham, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Graham Parsons, Nico, Kurt Cobain, and God love him (even our Freddie),

..and the ones still living with us, who are quickly flushing their health, careers, and lives down the toilet, like Pete Doherty?

Def. NOT cool, just STUPID and PATHETIC!!!!!

I always liked that Brian was a well rounded individual with other interests. He's a thoughtful human being beyond attention seeking.
Just my opinion :)

AT LEAST HE IS THE PROOF THAT THERE ARE OTHER THAN BRAINLESS ROCK STARS

So, basically, Brian's pathetic because he's got morals? What morons came up with this list?

I think the article was tongue in cheek.

I think Brian was a pioneer of sorts - the rock stars of yesteryear would find themselves in an "Austin Powers" type of situation now. Today coolness is having a level head, a brain for the business side of things and the skill and love of craft that guarantees a good show. I don't think todays audience has the patience for the crap that used to happen (like Steve Tyler passing out at shows, etc). Yay Brian (and John, for that matter).

ps. Death to Britney Spears and all other forms of artificial entertainment!

Brian May aged well. Roger Waters you can add to the list of rock star whom shied away from typical rock star life. He didn't use drugs apart from alcohol in moderation as he saw what drugs did to Syd Barrett then Waters quit smoking in August of 1975 after the WYWH sessions ended(as did David Gilmour who quit whilst recording WYWH after he heard the coughing fit at the beginning of WYWH's title track and DG is pretty much a family man, always has been and took his family on tour with him since 1977).

Im fucking pissed off about that article. Its some fucking bullshit that that damn magazines perspective on musicians is to do a damn shit load of drugs then die in their 30's. what the fuck? THose people at that magazine need to get their heads out of their quefing asses and shut the fuck up. Their a bunch of cocksucking twats. Fuck them...

Can you tell im having a bad day?

I was so sad when I read this. I almost cried because Brian seems like the nicest guy in the world. I hate that magazine! I hope he hasn't seen it. He is the best guitarist ever and here they go insulting him for not doing drugs. What bitches. I love you Brian.

not only is he an amazing indevidual, he is intelligent, sweet, beautiful, and my one tru love ;)

Brian May is good.
Freddie = Queen RIP 1991

He ain`t, but you sure are.

For someone who is so against promiscuity, Brian sure did cheat on his wife a lot!!
