    I was stewarding at a Bon Jovi concert at Wembley Arena on the New Jersey tour and turned around to see Brian May come walking towards me, heading to his seat! I told him that the reason I ever thought of picking up a guitar was because of him, which is absolutely true. I asked for his autograph but neither of us had a pen. I asked him if I minded waiting while I tried to ask for one. Nigh on 10 minutes later I returned and there he was patiently waiting. I was blown away at his kindness and will never forget that moment.

      Okay some here seem to think it's no big deal he attended this event, that anyone would do it. To me it's pretty big deal that he did this so soon after his stroke. But that's not even the point. I really think he attended this event specially because these fans are clearly very dedicated and not just fans of him as a person or Queen but actually interested in music and enthusiasts of the Red special guitar. Like he said this feels like a real community. He probably would not have attended any event, so the organizers should feel honored imo.

    • @dsgb
      @dsgb  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @teijaflink2226 All true. He enjoyed himself. Apparently there was a Queen Fan Club convention on the same day and some members expressed disappointment that Brian chose to attend the 2024 U.K. Red Special Meet-up instead of the QFC convention.
      I don't think they realised how much effort Jon Underhill put in behind the scenes over many months to persuade Brian to attend or that we have held the event close to Allerton Hill and Pete Malandrone's house in Reading to make it easy for either of them to just 'pop in'.

    How cool is it that Brian agreed to take time to do this? He's 3 years shy of turning 80, still recovering from a stroke and has to navigate a schedule that would kill a man 50 years younger than him but he STILL makes time for his fans, I have nothing but love and respect for this man, 50 years of Queen and 60 years of the Red Special and still going strong, long live Queen!!! ❤👑

    What an absolute legend and a gentleman to take the time to give something back to his fans and followers. I have loved Queen from the age of 8 and now at 46 my children also love their music. Having lost my Dad at a young age i was very touched to hear Brian talking about his Dad with pride. A memorable afternoon for everyone i am sure. Good health Brian, long live Queen.

      There were a number of shows cancelled, due to Freddy getting laryngitis. A fairly common occurrence when travelling from Europe to SA.

      @@dsgb I wonder why some continue. After his stroke, he should step back now. Enjoy his grandkids and rest.

      Indeed. I guess most of us choose that option but in this case he got so much positive energy from the day that it probably did him more good than harm.

    That sound, wow! What an amazing guy Brian is. A true legend.

      Nothing beats the guttural but warm sound of a Vox AC30 in our opinion. 😬

    Sir Brian May… anyone who meets him will know how generous he is with his time, how kind and thoughtful he is and how humble is his nature.
    That meet up (like all the meet ups) looks such fun. But to have Brian as the guest? Unforgettable for everyone there. The RS community is such a positive group; how one man and his unique guitar generates so much love, affection and respect is a beautiful thing.
    Thank you for filming this event. As a big fan, but a little rusty in my playing, I’d love to attend a meet at some point…

    I came to know Queen in the early 70s.
    And I've always been a fan of them and will be for life.

      I got into Queen in the late 1980s and I also became a fan for life. 💜😀

    Many of the others so called „stars“ should take example of a such a gentle guy. A real star without arrogant attitudes.

    • @dsgb
      @dsgb  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yes, I agree. Some are self-important but many are fairly down-to-earth. For example, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits seems pretty humble. 😀👍🏻

    Pretty brave and cool that he did this after his stroke. Many would have bailed.
