I'm not entirely clear why Brian May has got such a hump on by the Jackson-Mercury tracks popping up on the web: May revealed the existence of the songs earlier this week (begs29Jun09), saying, "He (Jackson) used to come and see us when we were on tour in the States. He and Freddie became close friends, close enough to record a couple of tracks together at Michael's house, tracks which have never seen the light of day." But the rocker has been left incensed after two tunes by the pair, State Of Shock and [...]
Tutto il mondo della musica (e non solo) piange la morte del grandioso Michael Jackson , icona della pop music dagli anni ottanta ad oggi. Ma c'è anche chi, nel commentare la sua morte, si lascia scappare anche qualche dichiarazione interessante. Questo è il caso di Brian May , storico chitarrista dei mitici Queen che, dal sito ufficiale , fa sapere che Michael Jackson e Freddie Mercury erano molto amici, tanto da registrare ben due pezzi assieme! Ma andiamo con ordine: pare che Michael adorasse i Queen, tanto da andare ai [...]

They are currently touring in support of their newest album, Dragonslayer . Tom Child interviews multi-instrumentalist Michael Doerksen.

Brian May , el guitarrista de Queen , dijo que está muy interesado en reclutar para el grupo a Adam Lambert , uno de los perdedores del concurso American Idol , a quien conocieron en el último episodio de la temporada del show el 20 de mayo en Los Ángeles cuando interpretaron juntos "We Are The Champions". En una entrevista a Rolling Stone dijo que tanto él como el baterista, Roger Taylor , están deseando hablar con él en algún momento. Pero también aseguró que el grupo no pretende acelerar [...]
It turns out coming in second place for American Idol may not be such a bad thing. For this season's talent competition, finalists Adam Lambert and Kris Allen teamed up with British luminaries Queen for "We Are The Champions". Although Allen ended up sweeping the vote to be crowned the next Idol, it turns out guitarist Brian May is open to the idea of more collaboration with Lambert. "(Drummer Roger Taylor) and I are definitely hoping to have a [...]
After weeks of wondering why the fucking Axl Rose was doing nothing to promote Chinese Democracy (which is selling poorly, to put it mildly), early this morning "The Howard Hughes of Rock" added another bizarre chapter to his ongoing saga by answering fans' questions on the message boards for popular GN'R fan sites Here Today... [...]
Come raccontato dal nostro Kaos il nuovo disco Chinese Democracy dei Guns N'Roses è in arrivo: il cd (la cui cover è qui a fianco) uscirà in Italia il 21 novembre. Anzi, su iTunes è già in vendita (e nella top ten ) da qualche giorno. Intanto scopriamo qualche nuova chicca. A cominciare dai brani Catcher N' The Rye, I.R.S. e Prostitute che sono comparsi in rete e che vi facciamo ascoltare di seguito. E poi qualche news, come l'esclusione dal disco di Brian May ( Queen ) che aveva inciso [...]
We haven't spent all that much time talking about the impending release of Chinese Democracy, which is now just ten days away from finally hitting stores. Here's a quick round-up of some the shit that's been going down in the world of Axl Rose: If you pre-order the album from Best Buy or iTunes, you can [...]
Parece que Axl Rose ha decidio prescindir de las notas interpretadas por el guitarrista de Queen en la canción "Catcher in The Rye" de Chinese Democracy Nada menos que la pista de la guitarra solista parece haber sido sustituida. Brian May considera "a shame" tal atrevimiento, y afirma haber puesto mucho trabajo en ello. Lo cierto es que sus colaboraciones hoy en día son bastante escasas, y que supone todo un honor que el guitarrista haya dado este "regalo" para ser rechazado de esta forma. Sin embargo, May [...]
During the long, long birth of Chinese Democracy - as part of the throwing of everything at the wall stage - Brian May stepped down from his traditional perch on the roof of Buckingham Palace to record some bits. May's work, recorded back in 1999, hasn't made the final cut. May, for once, isn't raging, but quietly accepting of his fate , blogging: Well, it is a shame, perhaps ... I did put quite a lot of work in, and was proud of it. But I could understand if Axl wants to have [...]
"Sour Smoke" by Comets On Fire which clocks in at 8:47. Or, an alternate history of the widespread phenomenon known as "guitar face" (based on pure speculation and gross oversimplification). We all know it….that contorted exaggeration of facial features suggesting anguish, pain, catharsis, existential grief, or - alternately - such devilish bliss some might mistake it for a sign of carnal satisfaction (link pretty much NSFW). Guitar Face. And isn't such ambiguity of meaning its entire purpose? The squinted eyes and pursed lips, sweaty recoiling [...]

![Brian May Reaches For The Stars, Paul Rodgers And Roger Taylor In Tow [Upcoming Releases]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1185041_lg.jpg)
Perhaps in celebration of guitarist Brian May finally publishing his doctoral thesis after all these years , Queen + Paul Rodgers—the Bad Company-vocalist-augmented version of the classic pomp-rock outfit—have decided to call their forthcoming album The Cosmos Rocks. (Sadly, there's no exclamation point in the title.) Looking at this sketch of May's thesis makes me wonder if the album, which comes out next month, is going to draw on inspiration close to home: Brian May's thesis examines the mysterious phenomenon known as Zodiacal light, a misty diffuse cone of light that appears in [...]
Hi, I'm Brian May out of Queen and the Ford adverts. Everything I do is driven by you. But not myspace. Nope, I hate myspace because it's full of people claiming to be me . As if! I'm Brian May - why would I be on MySpace? Huh? As it is, someone claiming to be me has now written on a supposedly official site about how angry I - by which I mean they - are that someone is pretending to be them - by which I mean me: "Right now I'm feeling [...]
Intro track from Mad Max 2: Road Warrior . I thought the dystopic movie was based in Australia not LA (even though some might argue LA is a dystopia). Where was JC when you need him and I am not talking about James Caviezel. Click the photo for the story. Mp3: Brian May - "Montage Mad Max 2 Main Title Theme"
First time posting. Recently referred here by eldritch00 and loving this comm already. I've never really tried playing these on our road trips with my friends, since we don't really have the same taste in music. But on a hypothetical, ideal road trip to god-knows-where, I'd blast these songs out from the windows. 6 songs for any kind of road trip experience, from the mellow, to pick-uppers to the rocking. Buffalo Springfield - Hot [...]
