That was funny! It was picked up by everyone...except the part that he was going to star as all four roles!  Ah well... |

^ The whole Scientology thing just creeps me out. I would bet B&R would want their music far away from any involvement - but it's not like they could stop them... In other news.... A few days ago Brian mentioned recording with Kerry. I would bet it's SOMETHING to do with the whole Common Decency project....but if it's new music I'm happy  Also on Brian's site it was mentioned that sometime this year there would be a re-release of the Brian May Band's live at Brixton which was recorded in 1993 during Brian's first solo tour and released first in 1994. It'll be nice to have an update...but dare I cross my fingers and hope for a bonus gig of the known to be recorded but unreleased 1998 gig from the Royal Albert Hall? I doubt it...but maybe even some small bits of footage? |

So sad for Julian regarding his mother's passing. |

I guess we'll find out soon about this one...and I'm glad to see the Red Special - they've been doing a lot of acoustic stuff lately which I did, but I'd like to hear the Old Lady in action!

Great to see! Even though it was expected, confirmation is nice. I am hopeful to see Las Palabras De Amor added in the setlist - though I think it would probably be in Bri's acoustic section much like Teo Toriatte was in Japan...but you never know...

Roger Interview about SolitaryAs exec producer, Roger is starting to do some press about the film! And he had a few things to say. The main point is that he was warning people that it was definitely background music and not much like Queen BUT there are TWO songs in the film. One in the beginning which he says was actually written by his son and daughter! (NOTE he didn't clarify WHICH son and daughter...odds would be on Rufus as the musician BUT Felix is in the film if briefly and did sing a track with Roger on a single in 2007 so it *COULD* be Felix. I have never heard of a daughter of Rog's doing anything musical) He also didn't clarify if HE performed said song or if it was a song they recorded and he used as musical director. The second song would be over the ending credits and is *HIS*. SO at LEAST ONE Roger song. BUT my pessimistic side about their productivity in their twilight years and their more recent proclivity to reuse tracks makes me think I won't be surprised if he just uses something from Fun On Earth...BUT hopefully not - Hopefully it's a new Rog track

Hey, Talon, I am so happy to see you posting! I guess taxes have swallowed you for a while Looks like the movie is a nice "family" project. I see Anita Dobson has an acting role there! |

Hey Nica Thanks! Not taxation - merely my staycation! I had some time off and spent it with the family. Funny enough I get more time at work to post than during my "free" time. Guess that comes with being a 911 dispatcher - times of absolute crazy work and times of absolute nothing going on. It definitely is a familial experience though. I hold a small (less than 1%) that Brian added a guitar to Rog's credits song. Not likely though |

oh, wow, Talon! a 911 dispatcher! One of those jobs where the less is happening the better!
and no wonder you come across as a calm, cool and collected person - after all it must be a professional necessity!
