Brian is one of the greatest guitarists in the world, one of the smartest people in the world, he's respected by older generations and new, and yet he's polite enough to say to an interviewer, "sorry, I interrupted you..." Class.
I Have To Hear songs every nite of Queen/ Freddie Mercury...love everything of Queen how they play ..the sound... they give out on each instrument and ohhhh the sound that Brian can take out of his Red Guitar...Wow...I think everyday that I wish all of them would still be Together to give us their MUSIC...THEIR TALENT...I TRULY WISH I COULD SEE AND BE WITH THEM Even for the day...that is Happiness in my heart.
"Sorry, I interupted you." SO Brian May, and why I adore the man. I have done PR for years. I've had some lovely clients and some, well, not so. But trust me, most wouldn't think to apologize for talking over a reporter!!! Warms my heart!!! Although nothing will top when he "stormed off on a reporter." Yes, the title was technically accurate, but first he apologized and said he wouldn't discuss that and felt he should leave (I'm going off memory from years ago, but am sure I'm close if not spot on). Then he turned around, went back and shook the reporters hand, while apologizing. Then he stopped walking away to turn around again to explain in more detail why he was felt it best not to reply. There may have been another handshake. The most Brian May "storming off" in the history of storming off LOLOL
Brian is not only a living legend, but such a kind man, too. Been a Queen fan since 1977. Loved the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Definitely showed how close Freddie, Roger, Brian and John all were.. Saw Queen + Adam Lambert in 2014 and they were phenomenal. Also saw the Rhapsody Tour 2022 through their livestream. Just mind-blowing. Definitely do a Bond song, please..and please Queen + Adam, return to the US next year ..your chemistry is perfect 🙏❤
It's difficult for me to see Queen without Freddie; he's what Queen is all about from the start. Since his death, I hear him singing Queen Songs in Grocery shops, Retail Story's, and Radio often. As John Deacon realized Queen was over without Freddie.
@@kccox8516 I definitely don't think Freddie is what Queen was all about, it's all four of them but I agree that Queen without Freddie (and John) is not Queen for me. It wouldn't be Queen to me if any of them had passed. John was always my favourite and I gained even more respect for him after he did the respectful tribute stuff, then walked away.
One of the biggest issues I imagine with a Bo Rhap sequel is that they squewed the time line to make the first film more complete. The only way a sequel would work is if they return to the actual time line as it happened and ignore the 'artistic licence' applied to when Fred found out and told the band he was ill. There's a great story there because of course the drama escalated after Live Aid. In many ways they've trapped themselves unless of course they do go ok well we did alter things but this is the story of how it actually happened. There. They can have that. The top catch line is there for the promotion. 'This is the story of how it ACTUALLY unfolded.' I can hear and see the trailer now.

Look up "The Freddie Mercury Story Who Wants To Live Forever " here on youtube.
I just received the book yesterday, it is so fantastic. I spent so much time ooh-ing and ahh-ing that I only got as far as page 66 (magical number for me perhaps, because I live one half block off the Historic Route 66). When I am done going through it, I am going to make it a coffee table book and place a viewer next to it so my guests can witness the magic of stereoscopy. After that, once the pages are a bit tattered, I think I will take it to a school or art academy and let kids get the bug. Since you can take the stereos these days with just your smartphone and a simple app, I believe we could see a new surge of stereo photographers. Each book comes with a stereo viewer designed by Brian, so everyone can enjoy the photos in the best way. The only downside for me was that by the time I got it here in the States, shipping, price conversions, etc., it nearly doubled the price of just buying the book. Sadly, it was not available through a U.S. distributor.
Can sleep to every Brian May radio interview. Such amazing ASMR and such a fascinating guy who has some brilliant stories and interesting things to say unlike the usual ego ridden guys from bands being all passive aggressive and hating people who made their careers 🙄🙄🤔😒
Always wonder why more of these song fragments being discovered lately weren’t on Made in Heaven. That was the point of that album and it didn’t have quite enough new stuff in it
I think it is unfortunate that Brian did not mention the man who wrote the story and was the screenwriter for Bohemian Rhapsody. His name is Anthony McCarten and has not received a penny for his contribution, which is a major factor in the movies success. The movie has made over one billion dollars and Brian received millions. Mr. McCarten pitched the idea to Graham King, who produced the film. Mr. King has not paid, so Anthony has taken him to court. Graham King and Brian May and Roger Taylor should be ashamed of themselves. Hasn’t Brian made enough money? When is enough, enough. It is an insult to not give the screenwriter credit!
Listening to May admiring Freddie's voice on Face It Alone I wonder why he let the engineers pitch correct Mercury's vocals. Shame on you. I wanna hear the man, not digitally corrected version of him.
@@kevinprior3549 Not sure what porpostious means, but did you mean after someones dead? I know that you cannot be Knighted when you are dead but the remaining Queen members can be knighted.
It is time to give Angelina Jordan (Republic Records rising star) a shot at the next James Bond theme. Queen gave her a excellent "Shout Out" when she did her version of Bohemian Rhapsody, and permission to copyright it.
Well the film was terrible full of lies and disrespectful portrayal of Freddie mercury memory so maybe they could do a proper film with accurate timeline and what really happened.
Queen and Marc Martel making a new song would be a perfect way to honour Queen and Freddie Mercury. Every time I listen to Brian talking, I feel very relaxed. This man is simply golden.
@@JamesSmith-qy3eu In my opinion so was the first one. It's amazing how they managed to portray Freddie's wild life in PG13 rating lol. But I guess after autotuning the "new Freddie song" to bits they're not above disrespecting their former bandmate
"It was hard for us to let him go ..." What on earth is he talking about? Freddie never left Queen; and both Brian and Roger did their solo projects BEFORE Freddie did his. FFS, this narrative that Freddie did something the others didn't do (i.e. break away from the family) is truly getting on my nerves. At one point, they were all annoyed with each other; they ALL needed a break.
I'd much rather see Brian and Roger do an album with Marc Martel. That would definitely capture as close as we could get to the Queen vocal harmonies, not to mention he's a great pianist as well.
What is it that you and many other people around the world don't understand???? They don't want someone who sounds or looks like Freddie ffs, bout time people got that into their thick skulls
@@davebain1982 okay, first of all, you don't know what I do or do not understand. Now that we've got that straightened out, I'm talking about an album, or even a song. I'm not talking about replacing Adam. I don't have anything against him. In fact, I think he has a great voice. But he is performing for their live shows only. I'm talking about new material. I saw Queen in 1978, I've been a fan since the early 70s. Believe me, I know what they're trying to do or not trying to do.
I didn’t know Freddie actually left the band (family) and gone out there on his own and then come back. I thought all the guys had gone and done things on their own… but the band never actually broke up..…
He recorded a solo album and spent some time on it away from the band. He did though play massive stadiums with Queen earlier in 1985 in South America so they were never more than a few months apart from each other. The huge time gap suggested in the film didn't happen.
The film also neglects that Brian (1983 - Star Fleet) and Roger (1981 - Fun In Space) both released solo projects before Freddie (1985 - Mr Bad Guy) did.
Even if an army of writers including Peter Morgan and Julian Fellowes collaborated, there wouldn’t be a (successful) sequel to Bohemian Rhapsody… Simply because there hasn’t been a sequel to Queen… (no disrespect intended towards Mr May, my favorite guitarist of all time 🙏 and the band, my GOAT)
I have been a Queen fan since Queen II (1974). Please no Bohemian Rhapsody movie II. I found it a very disappointing movie with some untruths here and there. I also found the actor who played dear Freddie disappointing. And I'm not a fan of Adam either. Paul Rodgers was great, but he wanted to leave himself.
Are you friggin serious 12yrs to come up with that mess! Barely watch it There was barely any truth Freddie was portrayed in a very unfair way And didnt show his real personality
Peter Freestone (one of Freddie's close friends) said during the promotional pre-screenings of the film that they took a lot of "Hollywood liberties" with the story. I'm more inclined to believe the guy who admits that things are being presented "through a looking glass" rather than someone who says it's completely accurate. Especially when there's some obvious changes to the timeline.
I think Adam, Brian, and Roger need to dial it back a little with the live concerts and do some jam sessions together, see what pops out. And they should do a Collab with Marc at some point.

It's always a delight hearing Dr. May talk about anything. Always so smart and polite. I love this guy.
So do I!
Every now and then - not too often though - there are people in show business I would call wise:
Menuhin - Cohen - May...
It's a true privilege listening to Brian. Such a gentleman.
I love listening to Dr Bri. Such a beautiful voice ❤
Brian is lovely... so polite.
Love you Brian May. I admire you more for your kindness to Freddie than anything else about you (which is quite a compliment).

Brian May on the movie is an absolute double to the real Brian May.
After seeing the film, i said that Gwilym Lee was grown in a petri dish from a hair plucked from Brians head, the likeness is so great.
I agree. Great casting throughout
Bond song for sure
Wow, just heard the new single and absolutely brilliant, could easily be James Bond theme song.
Jesus, this is the first time I’ve ever noticed a lump by Brian’s right eye - hope that’s benign and he’s had it looked at. 🥺
And if its not? What you gonna do ffs, sit behind your screen goin 'ohh no poor Brian, what a shame blah blah blah, wise up 🙄

I’m sorry, I did not mean to include Roger in my statement.
Is Brian one of the most kind musicians ever?
Yes he is..if you meet him he makes you feel like you're the only one in the room. An absolute gem of a man.
Eric Clapton might not quite see it that way...

oh i remember that person! "... playing guitar on the MTV"!
15:04 - I am always saddened that Marc Martel never gets a mention... especially as he did ghost-singing in the movie that was just talked about!
Marc is way about Adam
In WW 2, the RAF recon planes used two cameras, to get a 3D effect.
Im astounded Queen have not been knighted yet.
Well said.
Has there ever been porpostious person knighted?
@@kevinprior3549 Not sure what porpostious means, but did you mean after someones dead? I know that you cannot be Knighted when you are dead but the remaining Queen members can be knighted.
@@rubentullenaar2934 FYI, porpostous isn't a word. I suspect they meant posthumous, as you suggest.
Especially considering the extent to which May is willing to go to get knighted! Maybe he is just trying too hard!
There is a Bohemian Rhapsody 2. Its called Innuendo
They meant "The Movie"
@@inthelapofthegods13 I know
Nope, BR is 2, Innuendo 3.
It is time to give Angelina Jordan (Republic Records rising star) a shot at the next James Bond theme. Queen gave her a excellent "Shout Out" when she did her version of Bohemian Rhapsody, and permission to copyright it.
I often think Face It Alone sounds like a 007 song. I also think both official video and lyric video looks like a 007 opening.
I thought the same thing.
Really didn’t like it at all the auto tuned it to death, couldn’t tell it was Freddie.
if they could put together some sort of "get back" movie for queen like the beatles that would be super cool
They did do this on the song One Vision for The Magic Years. You'll find it on UA-cam.
No Bo Rap 2 please! We all know what happened to Freddie and it’s not very entertaining. So it’s best to let it be.
why not? another chance to telling lies and make the bad boy out of freddie while briro where angels.
Well the film was terrible full of lies and disrespectful portrayal of Freddie mercury memory so maybe they could do a proper film with accurate timeline and what really happened.
@@LaserRockShow i agree terrible film
At this point, it's just another cash in. It's a terrible idea, and I think that will be the consenus among most fans.
As a massive Queen fan I never have and never will watch the film...things I've heard about it.. full of inaccuracies.... though never seen it
Face It Alone would be a belting Bond theme
Queen and Marc Martel making a new song would be a perfect way to honour Queen and Freddie Mercury. Every time I listen to Brian talking, I feel very relaxed. This man is simply golden.
May is mortified of being upstaged by Martel! It will never happen.
Marc's a fud
Yes with Marc not Adam

I actually reckon Face it Alone would have made a pretty terrific Bond tune.
I genuinely hope they don't go for a name like "Bohemian Rhapsody 2" tho
How about ”Show must go on”?

Please not another film?! The last one was an insult to their friend. The next one can’t possibly right all the historical wrongs it promoted.
They don’t care about their friend or wrongs. May is on a mission to scoop more cash and to prove he is the King of Queen! Pathetic geezer!
Please no Bo-Rap 2. We love you guys but let Freddie Rest In Peace.
How many times does he say "the miracle sessions"
"It was hard for us to let him go ..."

Why would we need a second movie, the point of the first one was literally tye backsfory of queen, we know what happens from there on in

Exactly well stated
Who Wants To Live Forever would have worked.
There's no Bond movie to match a Queen song
Left his family didnt like ot and came back
We didnt like it...
When did that happen!?
When he said “There’s more”, it was clear (again) this is a sales pitch. Milk it, Bri.
I have been a Queen fan since Queen II (1974).
Please no Bohemian Rhapsody movie II.
I found it a very disappointing movie with some untruths here and there.
I also found the actor who played dear Freddie disappointing.

Paul Rodgers was great, but he wanted to leave himself.
Are you friggin serious 12yrs to come up with that mess!

There was barely any truth
Freddie was portrayed in a very unfair way
And didnt show his real personality
Also Brian says they told truth in the Film? Absolute nonsense 🤣
so you think you know more about what really happened than him?
Peter Freestone (one of Freddie's close friends) said during the promotional pre-screenings of the film that they took a lot of "Hollywood liberties" with the story.

Borap 2. More fabricated BS. Freddie groveling to Brian to be let back in the band was the point where I gave up.
Too bad that they pitch-corrected Freddie's voice on the new song. Totally unnecessary.
If you took away his grey hair the blokes not changed much in over 30 years
😂🤣 Clearly you should go and get your eyes tested
I have to be honest, as nice as it was to hear an unheard Queen track, I thought it was a poor song by Queen standards.
I think Adam, Brian, and Roger need to dial it back a little with the live concerts and do some jam sessions together, see what pops out.
And they should do a Collab with Marc at some point.
