is this for real?

Well i have not read any previous articles as i live in the US and they rarely cover this kind of stuff here, the culture here has really gone to hip-hop and emo music, althought there are some like me, very rare and difficult to find or they are in the heavy metal music.
But dont u atleast think it was a tad overboard when he said its piss on a grave???
But perhaps it seemed like such blasphemy to him that thats what came out.
But i see your point.
And im not going to criticize nirvana, im not a fan personally, however, that is the grunge craze that many people are into, me the heaviest music i like is probably some early sabbath stuff and led zeppelin, not that zeppelin is considered that heavy these days compared to some bands out there, but i love it. And u most def. cant beat QUEEN, NEVER!

If he said "piss on a grave" yes that's going a bit overboard, but I'm not convinced he would say such a thing about a friend. you know the way the media likes to twist words around. I also think queen are underpraised, How many bands could rock you as hard as they can (tie your mother down) then the next belt out a tear jerker (love of my life) not even led zep were able to write such a wide range of music.

Totally agree.
Thats why I LOVE QUEEN TILL I DIE!
Cuz u can relate to their music no matter what mood you're in, and they have something for everyone. And they did it in the most kickass way that cant be beat.
And yes i know zeppelin couldnt do that, but they're still good.
But IMO, Queen is forever on top...
And on this countdown on VH1's Greatest Hard Rock Artists of all time... Queen Was only 13.... I was sooo pissed, Metallica beat them out... WTF is that???

I agree Queen doesnt get the respect it deserves, especially here in the states!
Bring them Here!! Its almost impossible to find their albums in stores, they have like millions of copies of greatest hits stuff, but its almost impossible to find albums, ive had to order a few via the internet.

I personally think 13 best in hard rock was a better listing than i would have thought. Remember, queen's biggest songs weren't hard rock/metal, they were the more melodic side to queen, songs like "killer queen" "somebody to love" and "champions" they really only have a few hard rocker's that are popular in the states "tie your mother down" "stone cold crazy" and a few other's, but still, your right in the sense that queen were easily the better all around band than metallica, i'm not a big fan of their's.

Me neither, although i kinda like when they did a cover version of Stone Cold Crazy... It was a bit too heavy for my liking, but i liked it some nonetheless...
Yea but they had a pretty wide range of ppl on the list, like the Rolling Stones and Janis Joplin, they're both awesome as well, yet not exactly "hard rock", rock yes, but hard rock... not so sure... so it wasnt just the hardrock bands that were on it, it was several ground breaking ones cuz it was the GREATEST HARD ROCK ARTISTS OF ALL TIME... and i was a lil mad because the Beatles didnt make it, ok i know they werent hard rockers, but still they were wave makers... and i cant remember some of the other bands on there, but some of them just didnt even make sense...

it doesnt matter what he thinks- thats it no one cares what he thinks. I love Fred just as much as the next person but Brian can do what he wants the rest of the band doesnt care and those 4 people are the only opinions that matter. Not his so someone tell him to shut the fuck up already im REALLY starting to HATE i mean LOATH the Darkness. Actually no. too late im thinking about it now its not his place to say anything about Brian i hate him

hey did anyone send this sotry to Brian? he likes to hear about Queen news like this. Im Justin Hawkins see himself make an enemy with one of the king pins of one of his "favorite" bands

This is slightly off subject but I'm convinced that most music journalists know nothing about music. I say that cause I keep reading reviews of the Darkness album and almost all of them talk about how Justin Hawkin sounds like Freddie. I read one that says his falsetto is very mercurial or some B.S. like that in People magazine. From what I hear this dude sings almost exclusively in falsetto, when did Freddie ever do that, And unless my hearing is off the dude doesn't sound anything like Freddie.

I wonder if Brian actually comes on this site and reads the goings on...
I dont think so but still...
I dont get it tho, if hes a Queen fan, and is supposedly friends w/ them, why would he say crap like hes ruining the legacy??
And i agree, Roger is the one w/the falsetto voice... Fred could sing high occasionally, but not falsetto...
The only song ive heard is I believe in a Thing Called Love- not very queenesque or mercurial... perhaps they're queen influenced, but if ure as big a fan if u can say something like that...
so this is 1 of several possiblities
1) Drummin up press for the album
2) Jealousy for not working w/ Brian
3) The media screwed up and distorted his words
4) Its a sick joke that people (myself included) are taking rather harshly

I dont know... but either way... its a tough pill to swallow for us Queeniacs...

Funny how these days most people who respond to topics don't bother reading the existing messages. Oh wait, it's always been like that.

1) Old news - One year old
2) False news, faux, faked, made-up

What's everyone bashing Brian for??? First Wikipedia, now this??? What's he ever done to hurt any of us? NOTHING!!! What's next then? Getting mad at them for doing TSMGO with Elton John? Sheesh...

I support Brian. Its a whole personal opinion thing.
But I prefer TSMGO w/ Freddie. But Elton did so so.

I really can't see FM doing that duet with five
