To Queen fans,
Here is a letter that I plan on e-mailing to Brian May as part of his weekly questions and answers:
To Brian,
Is it true that you are now officially credited as having written "I Want It All?" After all, you are listed as the sole writer on several official releases. I wonder if you legally changed the songwriting credits. If so, then why not also change the many songs from "The Miracle" and "Innuendo" albums that were written by Freddie Mercury over to his credit? Would that not be fair, assuming that you want sole credit for "I Want It All?" Thank you,
My Name
Although the question will probably infuriate many Brain May fans, I think that it is legitimate.

I agree, it's only fair!!!!
ooooooooo i'll be waiting for the response!
xD
..now this has always puzzled me; does Brian read all the emails or does someone called Jen sort them out in to like suitable emails and non suitable..if not who is Jen and what does she do?
:S
thanks.

Why are you telling us this?
If you want to e-mail Brian, just do it. Geez. I'm sure it won't be the first "controversial" e-mail he will have received in his life.
Or are you maybe seeking validation?

^ because its controversial ( as john from the big brother house used to say) LOL :P!!!
To Beautiful Soup,
My goal in telling you all this is to see how mad you get. If you seem bored by it, then I will probably not even bother to send it at all. But if you get really mad and start calling me a fat pig or something, then I will definitely have to sent it A.S.A.P.

Jen sorts them out, if she sees emails that are stupid to her, like "OMG I LOVE BRIAN MAY YOUR THE BEST, YOUR SO SEXY" Blah de blah de blah...Which isn't really relevent to Brian. Or questions that has already been asked, which I guess there is alot of that too.

Do ya think he'd answer fan mail if it's written formally, and without any of that "OMG OMG, UR SO SEXY" crap?? I wanted to send him an e-mail, but I'm afraid it would be sorted out as crap... :P

At least you're upfront in your whoring for attention. Kudos

Pffft. Well, you do what you gotta do, I guess. Whatever your motivation is...

I'm not Brain but I have a very simple (and probably true) answer to this.
I Want It All was one of the first songs they tooled around on when beginning work on the album. It was pretty much completely written when "Queen" got their hands on it - but I assume Brian forfeited the writing credit just because it was what everyone else was doing.
A song like The Miracle has lyrical contributions from other people, doesn't it? And Innuendo was (despite being pretty much Freddie's song) partially based on riffs that Freddie heard the others doing?
I wasn't aware the writing credit had been changed. Perhaps it's not a good thing. However, your example is shit because you use songs that have different songwriting percentages in them anyway!
Your question shows you don't have a frigging clue. If I were you I'd find a magical program to 'unsend' it before you wind up looking a total dink.

Oh no! You are holding Queenzone hostage! Our fate is in your hands!
We all know Brian will quit the music industry immediately and become an astromomer when he gets your email. Writing credits for all Queen songs will then move on to Paul Rodgers, eventually ending up in the greedy hands of Ben Elton.
So go ahead, make my day ........you fat pig!

I will bet you a million bucks Brian never sees that e-mail. And besides what do you care? Either listen to the music or don't. The writing credits have nothing to do with you and are none of your business.
