Mike Caswell: lick library stand lims 2009
2009-06-20 02:06:00 I would like to thank all the guys and gals on the Lick Library stand and particularly the very amiable and approachable Stuart Bull and the nameless video camera guy from Lick Library. Stuart Bull kept the stand buzzing by having live players, something sorely lacking on other main stands! It was particularly nice to hear Stuart Bull say it was OK for the guitar idol players to jam on the... This is a content summary only. Visit Truth In Shredding to find out more!
Brian May e Paul Rodgers: la seconda morte della band!
2008-09-05 10:53:00 Brian May e Paul Rodgers: la seconda morte della band di Giuseppe Iannozzi “La musica oggi è diretta da banchieri e commercialisti, una tendenza alla quale dobbiamo resistere in tutti i modi. Un’analisi delle velocità radicali della nube zodiacale. Bang! La storia completa dell’universo… dalle 2 alle 6 di notte sono di fronte al computer, è il momento in cui regna il silenzio.” E’ Brian May a parlare, aggiungendo una frase tratta da “Hello, Dolly!”, che la moglie Anita ha interpretato a teatro: “I soldi sono come il concime, la cosa migliore è spargerli”. Brian May spiega che di soldi lui e i suoi compagni ne hanno più che a sufficienza, che “The Cosmos Rocks” non è un’operazione commerciale, che “l’arte è indefinibile, ma non può che nascere dalla passione”. Ma i fan dei Queen con Freddie Mercury, di quelli veri ...
Brian May e Paul Rodgers non sono i Queen: The Cosmos Rocks uscirà il 15 se
2008-09-03 09:53:00 Brian May e Paul Rodgers non sono i Queen “The Cosmos Rocks” uscirà il 15 settembre: annunciato come nuovo album della band è già al centro di forti negative polemiche di Giuseppe Iannozzi Con il Lego oggigiorno ci si arrangia a creare un po’ di tutto. E’ toccato anche a Freddie Mercury, leader indiscusso dei Queen, considerato a ragione “la migliore voce” del panorama melodico rock. Di Freddie Mercury ce n’è stato uno, uno e insostituibile. Ci ha provato Paul Rodgers a sostituirlo. Abbiamo assistito a dei concerti con sul palco un buon Brian May e un Paul Rodgers che scimmiottava Mercury, un karaoke al limite anche simpatico ma nulla di più. Freddie Mercury resta unico, per voce, per talento, per sensualità animale e pathos. “The Cosmos Rocks”, scritto e prodotto da Brian May, Paul Rodgers e Roger Taylor, sarà il nuovo album del...
Afternoon Update - Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Frank Zappa, Brian May
2008-05-09 01:20:00 What do you get when you see Bruce Springsteen in a small theater? Last night he and the E-Street Band played a fund raiser at and for the Count Basie Theater in New Jersey and the lucky few who made it got to hear an all-70's show, including complete playings, in order, of both the Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town albums. They even got the Max Weinberg 7 horn section on a few songs in addition to the regular E-Street Band horns. Neil Diamond's "surprise" show at the Bitter End in New York last night was an obvious sellout with speakers being put in the windows so the unlucky fans could hear the show. The seven song set included three songs from his mid-60's days at Bang Records, three from the new album Home Before Dark and the classic Sweet Caroline. Diamond revealed to the crowd that he had played one of his selections, Kentucky Woman, on that very stage forty years ago.The set list:Solitary ManDon?t Go ThereHome Before DarkPretty Amazing GraceKentucky WomanCh...

BRIAN MAY SAYS "FREDDY IS METROSEXUAL''
2008-02-10 17:45:00 Queen guitarist Brian May didn?t know Freddie Mercury was gay. Brian noticed the late Freddie, who died from an AIDS-related illness in 1991, was "flamboyant" but was too focused on his music to realize anything else.He said: "It was only in the 1980s that he started bringing men backstage who had that particular Adonis look.""When I shared a room with him on tour in the early days I can assure you it was girls who generally stayed overnight.""But he seemed to be what these days you would call metrosexual. He was into his hair, his clothes. He definitely led the way with regard to preening."Brian also claims that Freddie was the shyest member of the band, whose hits include "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Another One Bites The Dust" and "Radio Ga Ga," despite his extroverted reputation.The 60-year-old musician added to Q magazine: "Contrary to how it seemed, we were all quite shy. Freddie was probably more shy than any of us. His way of coping with that was to act like a god onstage."Technora...

Saturday Video Roundup: Queen LIVE!
2008-02-02 16:56:00 Today is Imbolc, the midpoint of Winter. That’s Groundhog Day to you secular/non-pagan types (and yeah, P-Phil peeped his shadow, so throw another blanket on the bed). It’s also my birthday, and my good friend Dr. Mike Pecaut has offered up a fine present - lots of concert footage from one of my all-time favorite bands, the unparalleled Queen! I got to see them live on The Game tour, and my only regret is that this was in the Greensboro Coliseum before they did the renovation. Which meant that the acoustics were roughly that of a quonset hut in a hail storm. Still, I got to see the most amazing band in the world in person. Let’s kick the Dr. Slammy Day festivities off in style with - what else? - “Bohemian Rhapsody.” If we don’t get it out of the way now you’re just going to be rushing through the rest and missing out on some spectacular moments in the process, right? If you never saw Queen in concert, you may not know that they didn’t...

2008-02-01 02:06:00 I know so many random facts about Brian May (for example I saw him a couple of times when he was writing his PhD thesis at Imperial College London) that just now while watching Music Television my brain asked me… “What’s Brian May doing in a Queen video?” hmmm. Good work by the way Bri! Perhaps you’ll ...

Bicycle race - Queen
2007-10-18 18:39:00 Bicycle Race is a hit single for the English rock band Queen. It was released on their 1978 album Jazz and written by Queen's frontman Freddie Mercury. To release this song, Queen staged a bicycle race with 65 naked girls. A clip from this race was used as the single cover. The video was originally banned, and the video had to be re-edited with colour added to censor out any offensive imagery. The song is famed for its 'bicycle bell solo', which fans would often replicate live at Queen concerts with their own such bells. It was released as a Double-A side with the song "Fat Bottomed Girls". A still photograph from the naked bicycle race was used for the single cover, a pair of bikini bottoms crudely painted on the photo of the naked rider.

Galileo, Galileo........And Fat Bottom Girls Make Queen's Brian May's Rocke
2007-07-28 17:27:00 Who knew? The former Queen guitarist is now an astro physicist. In a rare star party Brain May attended the opening of The Great Canary Telescope. Wonders never cease I guess for a guy who wrote the guitar riffs for Bohemian Rhapsody, Fat Bottom Girls and We Will Rock You. Before being catapulted to stardom Brian May was working on his astrophysicist's degree at The Imperial College Of London. Well now he got it.Quite frankly, I think he had it before Queen because a lot of the groups songs involve references to "out there" stuff.~Leave it to NPR to provide all the "out there" stuff that mainstream media just ignores like a cheap whore.

Brian May PhD
2007-07-12 10:35:00 Brian May, the multimillionaire guitarist who founded the rock group Queen, has finally completed the PhD in astrophysics that he abandoned more than 30 years ago. The 59-year-old composer of hits such as Fat Bottomed Girls and We Will Rock You turned his back on the stars for international fame with Freddie Mercury and his band. His thesis on interplanetary dust clouds lay gathering dust of its own in the attic of his home in Surrey.
