storme37 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 To be fair, most of his success comes from being a part of Queen and Freddie Mercury was the energy and vitality that fired that group into super stardom, he went along for the ride. While undoubtedly a talented guitarist, he has lived off his time in Queen ever since. I don't honestly believe most of us would know who he is if it weren't for the band. but you do know who he is he was part of 1 of the most successful bands in the world so he's many things but not a has been.

-Mongrel- Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 but you do know who he is he was part of 1 of the most successful bands in the world so he's many things but not a has been. Agreed mate, never said he was a has been, that was someone else. Just saying that he's perhaps had a somewhat charmed career and would have been most likely a nobody without Queen. I think you'd be hard pressed to make the argument that Queen would have been nothing without Brian May, whereas IMO it's a given that would have been the case without Freddie...anyway, to get back on topic. The man's a deluded loon living in his own fluffy little world in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Has been. as in has been succesful. Has been part of a famous group. Has been current. Has been making his own music. has been :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 He is an average guitarist with delusions of being bright. He seems to have achieved cult status because Farrokh Bulsara died. In terms of music, he was somebody famous, but done nothing for years. In terms of anything else - just a figure of fun. Why do musicians suddenly feel the need to speak out on subjects they know little of - think Brian May, think Sting, think Bob Geldof?

digger Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Not my taste in music so maybe I should follow his mantra and say never been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storme37 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) In terms of music, he was somebody famous, but done nothing for years.

storme37 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Living off his time in Queen again. Anyone fancy naming me a Brian May solo hit? queen was his work so he got to a level he dont have to do much anymore, he's already done the work so he was successful he can retire young, wish in had been that lucky lol Edited August 26, 2012 by storme37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storme37 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 basically its ok to challenge his beliefs but to doubt his success as a musician is futile anyone can see that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon pete Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 it was Freddy that made the band famous ,queen died when Freddy died , brain may is cashing in on it ,i have always said this before i even knew he was a anti , didn't think much of him then and i don't think much of him now,i wont say what i think of him as ive had one warning from the mods on PW for bad language lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Ok Storme, we get the idea, you're a fan mate who can't hear a bad word said about him professionally. As far as I'm concerned GordonR was on the money in his previous post and as you just pointed out, he's not done anything since Queen, his success as a musician was purely down to him being in Queen without them he'd be a nobody...well, not done anything other than champion the cause of foxes, badgers and whatever the hell it was he had on his hat at the closing ceremony. I'm not going to sit here and argue the toss over Brian May, he's not worth my energy, as such that's me done on this thread.

cant hit rabbits 123 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I personally think all anti hunters, anti shooters, anti gun and anti pest control advocates should be given a section of land to rule over in any way they please and implement thier own laws for a set period of years. When they have to import almost all thier food from other counties, are over run by rabbits, pigeons etc and foxes while mixy and mange run rife and thier emotion driven drivel starts to effect areas around them adversely, then they should be made to step down, said area be restored to the UK and the local populace moved back in to clear up the mess, compensated of course. It can be well documented, and every time one of those or any other anti speaks up on the subject again they can have a read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Queen without freddie mercury are not Queen. Mcdinosaur was cringe inducing at the last two major public appearances. He would turn up at the opening of Primark if it were televised and if BBC 1 covered the closing of a public toilet in Oswestry he would rock up.

That's a cracking idea!Totally impractical of course,but it would certainly give them a glimpse into another world.It would make a fabulous reality TV programme!

Reece Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Why do musicians suddenly feel the need to speak out on subjects they know little of - think Brian May, think Sting, think Bob Geldof? For "good" publicity maybe? A lot of celebrities do that and it gains them a lot of fame and support. I personally think all anti hunters, anti shooters, anti gun and anti pest control advocates should be given a section of land to rule over in any way they please and implement thier own laws for a set period of years.

It can be well documented, and every time one of those or any other anti speaks up on the subject again they can have a read. That would actually be a good experiment. Can't see how it would be practical though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think he's becoming a figure of ridicule of late, really.He can pose with as many Labour politicians as he likes,but it's hard to tell who is profiting more from the relationship;the politician furthering his career by posing with the former pop star,or the former pop star furthering his agenda by posing with any politician happy to jump on the 'anything to have a pop at the tories' bandwagon,which is what they're both doing in reality.The article was meant to be regarding the badger cull,but he's involved Nelson Mandella,apartheid and the hunting act.All a bit sad really. Exactly, forget pro-shooters and farmers, most 'neutral' people I come across readily agree that he's making a pillock of himself. He must make more than a few antis cringe too.
