Wow its so cool knowing someone like Brain has respect for princey!!!

Brian is an awesome guitar player + a really nice guy.

He's always very complimentary to other artists in his blog. I've enjoyed reading it for quite some time.

I think my Dad still has his old Maths book - they went to school together

Possibly one of the best and most observant commentaries on Prince and his tour in recent times - complainers should take note.

Nice

That's some seriously mad props

I love where he writes, "it is as if, when a performer goes to the extreme of awareness of himself as an artist, he becomes, in a way, a thing of which he cannot be aware."

This really resonates with me because it's the absolute pinnacle for an actor. You always hope you can get to the point where your self falls away and you live in the moment as your character. Where the lines aren't something that's been written, they're just the right thing to say in that situation, at that time.

Very cool.

Thats so annoying, i was at that very concert, why oh why did brian not get up and jam with the man, that would have made my year!!!

brian's comments on witnessing

prince in concert echo mine:


watching prince was like,

'watching a thunderstorm,'

viewing 'living art....a thing of beauty.'

Very nicely put.

I love Queen.

Very cool!

Most articles after the Super Bowl Highlight Show focused on asking the Foo Fighters what they thought of Prince's cover of their song. I wished they would have asked Queen members the same when he did "We Will Rock You" in the intro.

Also,...I remember Prince gave props to Brian May in the July 2004 issue of Guitar Player Magazine

That's wonderful right there. I wish I could've gone to one of these shows.

Bri says the O2 "succeeds" when it comes to sound?

I say it just "sucks"

Wow what a nice article. Brian said some wonderful things about Prince. Hopefully he’ll get 2 meet and jam with him one day. I hope Prince reads this article.

That was beautiful !

I was sat a few seats away from him (had to phone my Dad and tell him )
Nice to read that he enjoyed it so much. He seemed to stay sat down all night so I wasn't sure if he liked it, or perhaps he just stays sat down so he might not be noticed as much? (or perhaps people can't see over his hair?)

brian may is a clown and a lame guitarist but that was a nice piece of writing. reluctant props to the stupidly-haired telescope-wielding fuckwit

Props to Brian May for summing it up perfectly...I love Queen!

Whatever else can be said, brotha P is truly art in motion onstage and pure magic.

To put it in nutshell ...your talking shit.

I'm really impressed with Brian's critique of the performance

Very eloquent and well-spoken, I'd say he writes just as beautifully as he plays
