The Wikipedia article fails to mention that the Freddie Mercury Tribute doubled as an awareness concert for HIV/AIDS. Brian and Roger announced upfront that they were opting for the big names as well as people directly connected to Freddie.
The songs played IMHO accurately mirror the setlist as it would have looked if Freddie were still touring, Brian tends to write rockers that lend themselves very well to stadium rock.
The article in Wikipedia in its present form reflects a point of view, and not the objective truth (nor will it ever, because nobody knows).

Okay, I agree with its_a_hard_life and the rest of you on this one.
Who the f**k would say such mean things about Brian May?!?
Honestly.

I agree that the person who insults a rich famous successful man is jealous and wants it all.

I think Brian is a good guy.
This guys attack on Brian has most likely hurt Brian almost half as much as a mosquito bite he obtained that was so viscious, that he actually took 1.6 seconds to scratch the itchy sensation. I know nothing of Brian personally, but I would imagine that he puts as much concern about the critics who bash him as he does a single blade of grass that might obstruct his path.

Well, so what is the difference between Brian, Roger and John? They're all rich and famous... No, it was attack to Brian, not to his money and fame, I think...
