Brian May Interview about upcoming album "Another World" and single "On My Way Up" Interviewer: Isabelle Brinkman Broadcast date: May 31st 1998 Channel: TMF The Music Factory (Netherlands)
Wonderful and beautiful man and musician. I once shook his hand, and talked to him for a minute after a We Will Rock You show in Las Vegas in 2004. Still a memorable moment for me.
Yes you're right. Brian is the kindest most beautiful man and the most talented musician in the universe! I've met him 10 times now and he is such a gentleman and really very funny too.
Love the people who vilify Brian and Roger for DARING to tour as Queen. They spent 20 YEARS of their lives writing incredible music. They have both said for decades how playing music, and specifically playing to live audiences, makes them happy. They are GOOD, they have SO much to be proud of, they sell tickets, they make others happy to listen to them...but they should never play the immeasurable catalog of music they’ve built up because....one of the members died and one retired? So, they should just...what? Hide under a rock, like they died, too? What a waste that would be. Personally, I am a fan of Queen, and I wish a good, successful, productive life for ALL of them, doing whatever makes them happy.
lynn pegoraro Brian wouldn’t be able to sing everything and do his amazing guitar work! Adam has spirit and a vibe that honours Freddie! I’m good with that!!
Unfortunately so many people think that they probably have the right to condemn them..... And they think that Freddie would be proud of it, that so-called fans act in such a disdainful way towards Bri and Rog...
Thank you! Yes, it's utter nonesense what those people are talking. I guess if Brian and Roger had indeed let Queen "die" and would be sitting on their money doing nothing, it would be the same people whining about THAT... We can be SO thankful that they are still here bringing us joy, which they absolutely wouldn't have to!
I'm so happy to have found this interview - There is enough time - the interviewer is not totally flabbergasted and maybe that is why Brian is so honest and relaxed? She is not afraid to ask questions as others have been - love it.
Brian: it's very hard to find a drummer, especially one of this caliber you know. Not a lot of drummers around to tour with. Roger Taylor: am I a joke to you?
Here he is saying that Queen can´t be Queen whitout Freddie. And look how it is now.... He is touring with Queen + Adam Lambert... I wish he would have continued with doing his solo stuff instead. Soooo much better!
@@davebain2656 yes...thank you. Queen+ why should they totally abandon Queen totally. That would be such a terrible waste! I want to hear his song (solo) AND Queen songs. It is his life's work. Freddie is gone....but Brian and Roger are here. Let's not kill them off too! Let them shine. The songs are theirs too.
They have both very similar physical features. Put a wig looking like Anita's hair on Brian and give him the same makeup, he magically turns into Anita! And vice versa. That's why they're still together.😊
There is no doubt that Brian May is a good musician. An excellent guitarist. However, he is extremely vain and conceited. After the death of Freddie Mercury and the departure of John Deacon, he does not behave properly She's using Queen's legacy to assert herself and it's disgusting. He also provided that miserable film with false instructions (BR) He chatters all the time, but he hasn't been able to write a single piece of music yet. The AL tour unashamedly uses the legacies of Queen and Freddie Mercury in circus fashion I don't like Brian anymore. He is not a good person.
Out of courtesy, respect, and good working ethics Queen is no longer Queen now without Freddie. It was Freddie that christened the band “Queen”. So it’s just proper that he will just stick to Brian May and not Queen.
Bri is such a perfectionist it's no wonder he's taken 6 years to finish Another World which is a wonderful album.

Lucky u are 😁🙄❤ He's amazing 💫
I would have fainted

Heather Qualy I’m glad for one that they didn’t quit. I just think Brian should do the singing. It’s Adam that i don’t like.

@@lynnpegoraro3630 Brian is 72! of course he can sing, but all the gigs? everynight? every songs?

So soft and humble... ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
One of the very best interviews I have seen of Brian May. Thank you for the upload. :]
I'm so happy to have found this interview - There is enough time - the interviewer is not totally flabbergasted and maybe that is why Brian is so honest and relaxed? She is not afraid to ask questions as others have been - love it.
This gives me nostalgic feelings. TMF, I used to watch that channel a lot. And a nice interview with one of my musical heroes. How can it get better?
2018 and still rocking !!!
He looks so tired here, poor Brian 💜
More depression...
Brian: it's very hard to find a drummer, especially one of this caliber you know. Not a lot of drummers around to tour with.
Roger Taylor: am I a joke to you?
You can’t be Queen without Freddie , that DID come out of Brian’s mouth
I'd love to see the other photos from that photo shoot.
I like that lady, she was fangirling as fuck hahahaha. Gotta love Dutch people! (I am one hahaha)
Here he is saying that Queen can´t be Queen whitout Freddie. And look how it is now.... He is touring with Queen + Adam Lambert... I wish he would have continued with doing his solo stuff instead. Soooo much better!
I love his solo stuff too, and I am glad that they have decided to keep Queen alive. Guess he just changed his mind. 💜
Their solo stuff was not as successful as singing Queen songs with even another lead singer.
Exactly. It's not Queen anymore , it's Queen+ , why can't people understand that
@@davebain2656 yes...thank you. Queen+ why should they totally abandon Queen totally. That would be such a terrible waste! I want to hear his song (solo) AND Queen songs. It is his life's work.

Who is watching in 2022? 😎
I am - and I think this was the best interview I have heard so far. And it is relevant because of the re-release.

He seems sad in this interviews.
Maybe because Cozy had just died..? Just a guess.
Of course he's sad. He had just lost Cozy.
@@gmbgret1 who is Cozy?

Freddie gave the name Queen to what was Smile. But he did not create the band. Roger and Brian did.
@UCaMr2UtR3lF2dd-Alh6-hWw they all created Queen you dumb fuck
@@QueenDynamo nobody can create a band singlehandedly - obviously . And it has nothing to do with a name - :)
