My last e-mail to Dr Mop

EDIT:
Meh, ignore this post; was just a stupid rant w/ no factual basis or credibility. =P

"But really, think of it this way; no one cared about John Bonham."

This whole thread is a convention of people who like to give away their credibility in one sentence...

Leave Bri alone you asshole. Most of the criticism isnt constructve from the music and theater critics. It's based on biased opinion. Some critcs are so swampd that they dont give their ful time on some rviews and trash them just to have an intrested read. (If they're easy targets.. i.e. Queen. Just read some of the reviews of the Miracle or Innuendo and you'll see what I mean). The only reason you're trying to defend these morons is because you're in the field. Yushould spend your time making sure you give honest reviews ith integrity.

THIS IS tO SEBASTION:.....I do think brian did the wrong thing by calling a 15 year old out like he did, but lets get something straight, brian doesn't give a rats ass what some internet freak like yourself says or thinks on this stupid forum. I respect your research regarding the history of queen and who wrote what parts of songs. I happened to disagree with you on 95% of your opinions like "brian" would have sang "it's late" better than freddie. I find most of your opinions as crap and I'm sure brian will laugh in your face when he reads your supid email from this 20 year old who claims he knows about music just because he's good at research. My advice to you is keep up with your research, but don't try to sound smart when it comes to the music and singing itself, you already proven to be lost in that regard.

Mike: As I said, I'm aware of the fact that Brian probably won't read the mail, and if he does, he probably won't reply. But I'm entitled to try.

Regarding 'It's Late', I don't mean (and if I did write it that way I'll correct it asap) Brian would have sung it "better"; I think he'd made a more appropriate vocal performance, yes.

And btw, if Brian has enough time to read those reviews (some of which are really stupid, indeed), maybe he's also got time to read my mail :)

Bien hecho, Sebas. Hay que poner a ese papanatas en su lugar.


Jajajajaj

I defended Brian before.. certainly he has the right to say what he wants, but his comment today.. calling people parasites for BUYING HIS BOOK, WAITING IN LINE FOR AN AUTOGRAPH.. then selling on Ebay. What the fuck does that hurt? If someone pays for something and puts forth the effort to get an autograph they have every fucking right to do with it what they want without being called a parasite.

Brian signed autographs to promote his book. Nobody forced him to. And I'm sure people had to buy a copy to get it signed. What a bitchy old cunt.

I sometimes get the impression that he can't stand it if he doesn't get a piece of every Queen-related sale of anything, whether he's already been paid or not.

Maybe he should sell his own god damn autographs thru his site if he wants to compete.

Yeah, he has the right to say what he wants, but fans deserve better than hearing such crap from their idols.

Thanks for listening.

Im afraid I have to completely disagree - these tossers who go and see him are posing as fans, and then selling stuff on at an inflated price, usually vastly inflated, and essentially making a profit from Brians hard work and patience.
Brian wants to sign stuff for people who pay face value for something, and are genuinely fans of his - people who queue for hours because they are looking to meet a hero, not because theyre seeing pound signs in their eyes when they see that they can get something signed and flog it on ebay....

You know what - Im both surprised and disappointed with the attitude of a lot of people at the moment - the fact is that Brian is a very intelligent and well educated man, who rarely says anything which is untrue, or unfair, and even if he does - he is completely entitled to his own opinion.

Maybe I was a bit harsh, I apologize. I've been noticing spots on my dishes.

I agree with both of you, as both of what you say is true. Where I get a little off-put with Brian is his naivete at the ways of the world. People want to make money on his autograph? Scandalous! Australians are killing stingrays to avenge Steve Irwin's death? Morons! There are really, really shitty people in the world. To get indignant about people making a few bucks of a signature is petty. To get upset about people killing stingrays is ridiculous beyond belief. Probably 99.99% of people go to meet Brian for good reasons, and probably 99.99% of Australians mourned Steve Irwin's death in a dignified manner. Why vent about an incredible minority of goofs, it's below Brian.

On the autograph thing, let's put it this way. Brian sits to sign for the fans and there's only so much time that he can sit to do that. So, those money-grabbers that get through and stop real fans from seeing Brian, I believe, should be called parasites. Just one money-grabber stopped one real fan who was standing in line to see Brian and take home their book with Brian's personal comment or signature offering.

I believe Brian sees a signature as a personal memento. But my main point is that someone who stands in line to make money and stops a real fan from seeing Brian.. that pisses me off. So, if Brian wants to call them a parasite then, who are we to say otherwise? The fans, yes? I have sympathy who gets cheated out of a meeting like that. So.. yeah! Bloody parasites! lol

Adam.

Brian was good to mention about the stingrays. Ok it's not as big news as some things but it's still disgusting in it's own way. There was no excuse for that. Those so called 'fans' are sick. No amount of 'grief' causes people to do that. They were just stupid. And if they were such huge fans of him they would respect what he was about and not kill wildlife.

If he had survived the attack would he kill it and all the others? No I don't think so. So there was no excuse for other people to do it.
