QUEEN Guitarist Threatens To Beat Up MySpace Bloggers - Aug. 31, 2006
World Entertainment News Network reports that QUEEN guitarist Brian May has threatened three bogus bloggers on MySpace with violence if they continue to impersonate him. The veteran musician, whose official web site is BrianMay.com, has also demanded the Brian May chatroom on the popular web site be closed down to prevent fans from being hoaxed.
"Right now I'm feeling more and more powerless, and depressed about the way the Internet is going," May posted on his real web site last Thursday. "It seems nothing is protectable anymore. The Internet seems to have made it easy for any git to pretend he is someone else.
"There are now three bogus MySpace 'blogs' pretending to be written by me...and I'm a peaceful person, but, frankly, I feel like going over there and applying a fist or two," he wrote.
"Just so you know, folks, once and for all, there IS NO Brian May page on MYSPACE...NOR WILL THERE EVER BE ONE...I am completely disgusted that the organizers of this site exert no sense of responsibility to check that people are who they say they are." |

Brian May was my hero during all my teenage years. But lately he's been giving me more and more "WTF?" moments. |

Unless its genuine, of course.... |

Speaking of all things Queen...
Muslim Group Offended by Mercury Party
Thursday, August 31, 2006
By ALI SULTAN, Associated Press Writer
ZANZIBAR, Tanzania — A huge beach party to honor late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury must be stopped because the Zanzibar-born rock star was gay, a Muslim leader said Thursday.
Mercury, who died of AIDS in 1991, violated Islam with his flamboyant lifestyle, said Azan Khalid of Zanzibar's Association for Islamic Mobilization and Propagation.
"That's why he was branded a Queen,"Khalid said, adding that anything linking Mercury with Zanzibar's Muslim population would be offensive.
He said that a waterfront restaurant's plans for a Sept. 2 party honoring Mercury's birthday would be stopped.
Mercury restaurant, which was named for the singer, will go ahead the party, manager Simai Mohammed said.
Mercury, who acknowledged being gay, was born in Zanzibar when the country was still a British protectorate. He was educated in India and moved with his family to Britain in 1964, after a bloody revolution that drove out many immigrants of Indian or Arab descent.
"Our main idea is to promote tourism and Freddie Mercury was from Zanzibar. It's part of our history,"Mohammed said."We are all Muslims and it's not our intention to offend any religion."
Last year some 500,000 tourists traveled to Zanzibar, bringing vital foreign currency to the Indian Ocean island. This semiautonomous part of Tanzania is mostly Muslim.
Zanzibar's government sent a letter asking state-owned media not to report on Mercury's birthday because of the tension between the religious group and the restaurant. The group's aim is for Zanzibar to be ruled based on the Muslim holy book, the Quran. Last year, the group broke up a gay man's birthday party in Zanzibar's Pemba island.
Mercury gained fame as the bravura singer for Queen, whose elaborate and occasionally bombastic songs made the group one of the favorites of the 1970s. The group's hits included"Bohemian Rhapsody,""We Are The Champions"and"Crazy Little Thing Called Love."

The thought of Brian May beating anyone up is the funniest thing i have heard all day.
"Take that, you nasty, nasty boy!"
P.S. Imagine arms flailing and a old man with dyed, permed hair with a posh accent. Trust me, its a funny thought. |

There is supposed to be one for Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg on MySpace.com, but they are probably doing the same as Brian May, false
representation. |

Bri doesn't have a posh voice, though I suppose an Australian might consider it so. Nor a perm; nor a bus pass...
But it is funny to think of him giving some artful blogger a Glasgow kiss...

I happen to have Michael Cohl as a MySpace "friend". Keith and Anita too. Both the Keith and Anita pages state that they are fan pages. As if we couldn't have figured that out on our own.
I also have Son House and Memphis Minnie as "friends". Think those are "real" pages? LOL! |

Liar!
I know you are lying because I just saw your mohawk on my friends list about 20 minutes ago.
Hey, last week, I had no less that 6 Playboy chicks hit me with add requests...what up with that? I mean, I know that they are all really 45 year old fat guys, but doesn't that seem odd? |

I don't know why YOU have a MySpace page. I have one because it's a cool way to check out bands, and hear and see their stuff for free.
DBT has a great MySpace page. |

Queen was great
Then they were a little less great
Then Freddie died
Then they it turned to absolute crap, see:
- touring without roger taylor but with paul rodgers
- made in heaven 4
- ultimate greatest hits (special edition) 14
- Queen & boyband five doing "we will rock you"

Queen was and still is bombastic trash. It has nothing to do with rock 'n roll. Their singer was a narcissistic imitation of Adolf Hitler. People who like Queen are mostly fond of Dirty Work. Says it all. |

I dont think i like you, Hannalee.
He DOES have a posh voice. Like Dave Gilmour. Maybe like Jagger's "real" voice too.
I aint a colonial!
I feel offened. Slighted. Are you Hemisphere-phobic? |

Don't like corgis - yappy, snappy little brutes. Can't you turn into a rottweiler or something else of a reasonable size?
You've just proved my point that you don't know your accent from your elbow; Dave Gilmour is posh(ish) but you're confusing that with the merely well-spoken, like Brian. Not necessarily the same thing at all.
I was avoiding the "C" word.

Yes. But at the end of the day dahlings, you must ask your precious selves... At age 16 did I build an electric guitar out of a mahogany fireplace? Did I fashion the assembly from a knife and motorbike valve springs? Did I wire my own pick-ups?
And you must ask yourselves, luvies... Can I play it so incredibly well with a sixpence coin? ...Am I a guitar virtuoso who's earned BSc Honors in Physic and Maths? ... Doctorate work in astronomy?
I didn't think so luvies! So don't slag my guitarist you ponces!!!!
I know Brian Harold May; Brian Harold May was a friend of mine and still is a bloody great guitarist. You're NO Brian Harold May!
See you for the pahhhhty in ZANZIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!
