Brian May


I was watching TMF (Dutch kind of MTV) and I saw the video of ''Rood'' (Red) by Marco Borsato. Then I saw... OMGWTFBBQ IS THAT BRIAN MAY? I watched in again on youtube, and I saw it again. Another youtube user told me it's Rob Winter, the guitarist of the band of Marco Borstato. He's a Brian May fan, he told me. I can't find much information about Rob on the internet, but I'm sure he's a some kind of wannabe-Brian May. The music video is not on youtube (I don't understand why, it was a big hit in The Netherlands...) so here's the link of the video. You can check out Rob on 1.13, 2.00, 2.10 and 2.27 for no longer than a single second..

Recipe for Brian: Guiness cake



Brian having a desire to Guiness



Brian loves Guiness, and he is a vegetarian, so I searched for a perfect recipe for Brian. Hope he likes it hahahahaha. Little late for his birthday, but I've chosen this cake.


you need:

1/4 cup cocoa powder (to dust the baking pans)
2 sticks butter
1 cup Guinness
2/3 cup Dutch process dark cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups unbleached flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, sifted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
chocolate frosting



The cake with a little bit of art. I worked really hard on the painting, and you're stupid if you don't like it.





Heat oven to 350° F. Lightly dust two greased 8 inch springform pans with cocoa powder. In a heavy  saucepan or microwave oven, heat butter, Guinness, and cocoa powder until butter melts. Let cool. Sift dry ingredients together. Add the Guinness-cocoa mixture, and beat thoroughly for 1 minute on medium speed. Add the eggs and sour cream and beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Place pans on a wire rack, cool for 10 minutes, remove the sides, and cool completely. Use a long serrated knife to even the tops of the cakes. Using a flexible spatula, spread each layer with a thin coating of chocolate frosting, stack, and cover the sides with frosting.

7 reasons why Queen's not a softrock band

Most of my friends think Queen is a softrock band! They think Queen only makes music like ''You're my best Friend'' I guess. (nothing's wrong with that song, It's one of my favourites, but it's quite soft) So this item is dedicated to you dear friends

7 reasons why Queen's not a softrock band

1. Brian May's haircut

Have you ever seen a member of a softrock band with such a great haircut like Brian's? I don't think so.

The best haircut in this universe



2. The song Sheer Heart Attack

Is this soft rock? Are you kidding me? Of course it's not!

3. Freddie liked sex
Okay, most people do, but like Freddie? No one, softrockers included.

4. Brighton Rock

Listen to it, the lyrics, the guitar solo, the way they sing. Maybe you don't like it, but you can't deny it's not softrock, can you?


5. Freddie's stage outfits
Freddie's stage outfits were the most stylish, most extravagant and most sexy (if I must believe other Queenfans, Queen is not from my time, I am 16, so I will never call them sexy) ever. No Lady Gaga is not better, Lady GaGa is not stylish, but Freddie was.

6. Queen has never sung lalalalalalala
I have never  heard this band singin' lalalalalala or nahnahnahnahnah or tralalalalala or something like most soft style bands/artists do.

7. They were monsters on stage
And they didn't spent the time on a concert by sitting on a chair and looking into the camera. Watch the Sheer Heart attack video to understand what I mean.

Best parts to watch:

3:47-3:47 looks cute
3:49-3:53 funny theeth
3:51-3:51 will shoot everybody down with his guitar
4:12-4:48 OH MY GOD LOOK AT HIS HANDS!
5:42-5:15 almost falls a few times
6:18-6:19 chicken move with his head
6:23-:6:23 best part for a screenshot
8:10-8:39 too concentrated
9:05-9:07 Yeah Brian!

Best parts to listen:
0:00-9:18 no words

Queen Guitarist Brian May Rocks Special Fan World

It’s one thing to see your favourite guitar hero in concert. But it is quite another to go to their house and have a jamming session.
Young Queen enthusiast Connor Walker was invited to jam with Brian May in his home, courtesy of Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, the charity that grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses.
Connor, aged 13 from Kingsbridge in Devon, suffers from Neurofibromatosis, a rare genetic disorder that causes the nerve tissue to grow tumours, resulting in Connor having to undergo more than 18 operations.

Connor is also a massive Queen fan and to meet the band’s famous guitarist has been a long-held wish. On the day in question, Make-A-Wish arranged for Connor, along with his Mum Tammie, grandmother Natalie and sister Sophie, to be picked up in a limousine from their hotel and taken for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe in London.
Sophie also suffers from Neurofibromatosis and was granted her wish to go to Disney Paris at the end of last year. They were then chauffeured to Brian May’s home, where Brian greeted the children with big hugs.
Connor had brought his guitar with him, which Brian signed and tuned before giving the family a personal tour of his garden. When they returned inside, two electric guitars were set up one for Brian and one for Connor.
After an hour’s jamming session and some one-on-one tuition on different tunes and chords, Connor emerged beaming and his mum tearful. Connor says: The day I met Brian was the best day of my life.
When I walked into his house and saw the two guitars set up, I was hoping one would be for me to play but I didn’t want to presume, so when it was it made me so happy.
Connor’s Mum Tammie says: Connor is an incredibly brave boy and never complains when he is in pain. To see Connor light up when he met Brian May brought a tear to my eye It was such an amazing day.
There are currently 20,000 children and young people like Connor and Sophie in the UK fighting a life-threatening illness. This year alone around 1,000 children will turn to Make-A-Wish to experience the magic of a Make-A-Wish wish. To grant all these, Make-A-Wish needs to raise at least £5 million in 2010.


To refer a child for a special wish or make a donation, please contact Make-A-Wish on 01276 40 50 60 or visit http://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/

Brian thinking of Freddie in 3D

Ever since boyhood, I have been quietly fanatical about 3D photography.
So I can't quite believe the technical progress that's been made over the past few years to bring us to where we are now — a moment so exciting I have to pinch myself to believe it's arrived.
For the first time, 3D could actually become more than the passing fad it has been since first becoming popular in the Fifties and make the leap into everyday life.

Tipping point: Films such as Avatar have shown us that 3D technology is here to stay this time

Our cinemas are full of 3D films and our electrical stores are packed with 3D TVs, which people are buying in serious numbers.
We are at the tipping point.
I've been obsessed with 3D photographs since a cardboard viewer with coloured lenses fell out of my Weetabix packet when I was eight, in the mid-Fifties. I loved the new world it opened up.
I learned to take stereoscope pictures — a basic form of 3D — with a camera I bought from Woolworths for 12-and-a-half pence.

You lined up the first picture with your left eye, then the next one with your right.

Once the pictures were developed, you put them next to each other and when you looked through a stereoscopic viewer, there was a 3D image leaping out in front of you!
All through the Queen years, I was passionate about 3D, meeting specialist dealers as we toured the world.

Childhood fascination: 'I have loved 3D photography since i was a boy'

By then, I'd trained my eyes to 'free view', the same focusing technique you need to see Magic Eye images.
So I could rummage through photographs and instantly pick out the stereographs I wanted.
A lot of people don't realise, but 3D photography has been around since 1838. I soon became an avid collector of one of its hugely-talented 19th-century pioneers, T.R. Williams.
Two years ago, I co-wrote the words for a book of his beautiful stereographs, A Village Lost And Found, something I'm almost as proud of as everything we achieved with Queen.
But Williams is part of 3D's past. It's future, I'm convinced, lies with film-makers, such as James Cameron (Avatar), Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3) and Robert Zemeckis (Polar Express).
I vividly remember going to see Avatar and being blown away by the 3D effects. It was something I'd been waiting for my entire life.
I've interviewed these guys for a Sky documentary I've been making about the history of 3D and they're so excited about its potential.
We've had 3D films before, of course, with short-lived fads in the Fifties and Eighties, but this time I'm convinced the 3D effect is simply too good to throw away.
Last year, I was one of the 140,000 people in this country (double the market's expectations) who bought a 3D TV — the LG passive system —  and it's a great bit of kit.
Of course, there's only one channel to watch, Sky 3D, but I'm loving the sport, films and wildlife documentaries. They're exquisite and the photography is stunning.
But I confess I do still have doubts about 3D TV.

Leaping out at you: My latest project is a book of Queen photographs in 3D - its shame we don't have any 3D video of the band in our pomp

Not that it will give people headaches or be poorly executed — those days are long gone.
No, my doubts are about the way we watch television. The days when you sat in a darkened room watching in respectful silence are over.
These days, people multi-task while they watch TV — chatting, tapping at their computer, reading a newspaper. You can't do any of that if you're wearing 3D glasses.
But I'm convinced, given the current rate of technical progress, 3D TVs that don't require special glasses are not too far away.
One of my regrets is not having 3D footage of Queen live, in all our glorious, theatrical pomp. That really would have been a spectacle.
But thanks to that boyhood passion of mine, there are some really good 3D stills of the band.
My next project is to make a book of these, to be sold with my special Owl stereoscopic viewer attached.
Freddie in 3D... now, that's going to be quite a sight.

Brian's protruding ears

A very young Brian at school

I just took a look at some youth pictures of Brian, and found out that he has protruding ears! [Nothing wrong with that, I also have them] Is that a reason why he grew his hair so long? Haha.

With his mother Ruth. Not a very clear picture by the way.

Do you think he has? Or don't you see it?

Brian May vs. ....

Do they look like each other?

Brian May Biography

Of course you know there are a lot of Freddie Mercury biographies, but did you know there's also a biography of Brian May?!

 Following the tragic death of Freddie Mercury and Queen's decision to disband, their virtuoso lead guitarist, Brian May, was soon on his way to a spectacular solo career, sealed by a major world tour in 1993. He is now completing his new album and planning his next world tour for 1995, continuing his reign as one of the finest guitarists in the world. The author
 has had exclusive access to many of Brian May's close friends, colleagues and fellow musicians. In this book, she tells his story: the professional struggles and musical achievements; and his personal life, including his five years of hell from 1987, which saw the break-up of his marriage; and the profound emotional effects of Freddie Mercury's illness and death from AIDS. This book is an account of one of the world's greatest ever rock bands and its lead guitarist, Brian May. With details and exclusive interviews with many of the world's leading rock musicians, it tells the story of how they achieved and enjoyed rock stardom, with its ups and downs. It is published as The Brian May Band is achieving new heights of international acclaim. Laura Jackson is the author of "Golden Stone", an investigation of the life and murder of Rolling Stone Brian Jones.

The book has been written by Laura Jackson, the second hand price is $0,30 (I don't believe that, it must be a joke!) or $9.47. Never used from $79.99
