Brian May: Why Queen didn't do a James Bond theme & Bohemian Rhapsody 2 | Smooth Radio 

Brian is one of the greatest guitarists in the world, one of the smartest people in the world, he's respected by older generations and new, and yet he's polite enough to say to an interviewer, "sorry, I interrupted you..." Class.

It's always a delight hearing Dr. May talk about anything. Always so smart and polite. I love this guy.

It's a true privilege listening to Brian. Such a gentleman.

Brian is lovely... so polite.

I love listening to Dr Bri. Such a beautiful voice ❤

Love you Brian May. I admire you more for your kindness to Freddie than anything else about you (which is quite a compliment).

I could listen to Brian talk forever…

"Sorry, I interupted you." SO Brian May, and why I adore the man. I have done PR for years. I've had some lovely clients and some, well, not so. But trust me, most wouldn't think to apologize for talking over a reporter!!! Warms my heart!!! Although nothing will top when he "stormed off on a reporter." Yes, the title was technically accurate, but first he apologized and said he wouldn't discuss that and felt he should leave (I'm going off memory from years ago, but am sure I'm close if not spot on). Then he turned around, went back and shook the reporters hand, while apologizing. Then he stopped walking away to turn around again to explain in more detail why he was felt it best not to reply. There may have been another handshake. The most Brian May "storming off" in the history of storming off LOLOL

Brian is not only a living legend, but such a kind man, too. Been a Queen fan since 1977. Loved the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Definitely showed how close Freddie, Roger, Brian and John all were.. Saw Queen + Adam Lambert in 2014 and they were phenomenal. Also saw the Rhapsody Tour 2022 through their livestream. Just mind-blowing. Definitely do a Bond song, please..and please Queen + Adam, return to the US next year ..your chemistry is perfect 🙏❤

I Have To Hear songs every nite of Queen/ Freddie Mercury...love everything of Queen how they play ..the sound... they give out on each instrument and ohhhh the sound that Brian can take out of his Red Guitar...Wow...I think everyday that I wish all of them would still be Together to give us their MUSIC...THEIR TALENT...I TRULY WISH I COULD SEE AND BE WITH THEM Even for the day...that is Happiness in my heart.

Brian respectful as always and Jenny give a great interview

Always a class act, still has the enthusiasm.

Such agreat personality smart and talented in music great voice and guitar player legend love you brian and abig fun keep going ❤🧡💛

One of the biggest issues I imagine with a Bo Rhap sequel is that they squewed the time line to make the first film more complete. The only way a sequel would work is if they return to the actual time line as it happened and ignore the 'artistic licence' applied to when Fred found out and told the band he was ill. There's a great story there because of course the drama escalated after Live Aid. In many ways they've trapped themselves unless of course they do go ok well we did alter things but this is the story of how it actually happened. There. They can have that. The top catch line is there for the promotion. 'This is the story of how it ACTUALLY unfolded.' I can hear and see the trailer now.

I don't wanna watch Freddie die

Brian May on the movie is an absolute double to the real Brian May.

The definition of class...

I'm looking forward to getting this Miracle box-set - fantastic

Bond song for sure

I just received the book yesterday, it is so fantastic. I spent so much time ooh-ing and ahh-ing that I only got as far as page 66 (magical number for me perhaps, because I live one half block off the Historic Route 66). When I am done going through it, I am going to make it a coffee table book and place a viewer next to it so my guests can witness the magic of stereoscopy. After that, once the pages are a bit tattered, I think I will take it to a school or art academy and let kids get the bug. Since you can take the stereos these days with just your smartphone and a simple app, I believe we could see a new surge of stereo photographers. Each book comes with a stereo viewer designed by Brian, so everyone can enjoy the photos in the best way. The only downside for me was that by the time I got it here in the States, shipping, price conversions, etc., it nearly doubled the price of just buying the book. Sadly, it was not available through a U.S. distributor.

Wonderful interview💥💥💥💥❤️❤️❤️

I love this man so much

Absolutely adore you brian 😚

Excelente como siempre Brian May, tributando a un compañero.

Qué bien siempre Brian May! Interesantisimoy siempre en actividad.

Is Brian one of the most kind musicians ever?

Jesus, this is the first time I’ve ever noticed a lump by Brian’s right eye - hope that’s benign and he’s had it looked at. 🥺

Listening to May admiring Freddie's voice on Face It Alone I wonder why he let the engineers pitch correct Mercury's vocals. Shame on you. I wanna hear the man, not digitally corrected version of him.

Great interviw

Queen fan since 1979

Wow, just heard the new single and absolutely brilliant, could easily be James Bond theme song.

Always wonder why more of these song fragments being discovered lately weren’t on Made in Heaven. That was the point of that album and it didn’t have quite enough new stuff in it

I think it is unfortunate that Brian did not mention the man who wrote the story and was the screenwriter for Bohemian Rhapsody. His name is Anthony McCarten and has not received a penny for his contribution, which is a major factor in the movies success. The movie has made over one billion dollars and Brian received millions. Mr. McCarten pitched the idea to Graham King, who produced the film. Mr. King has not paid, so Anthony has taken him to court. Graham King and Brian May and Roger Taylor should be ashamed of themselves. Hasn’t Brian made enough money? When is enough, enough. It is an insult to not give the screenwriter credit!

There is a Bohemian Rhapsody 2. Its called Innuendo

Te amo Brian!

Can sleep to every Brian May radio interview. Such amazing ASMR and such a fascinating guy who has some brilliant stories and interesting things to say unlike the usual ego ridden guys from bands being all passive aggressive and hating people who made their careers 🙄🙄🤔😒

Long live brian!

Im astounded Queen have not been knighted yet.

In WW 2, the RAF recon planes used two cameras, to get a 3D effect.

I often think Face It Alone sounds like a 007 song. I also think both official video and lyric video looks like a 007 opening.

❤

It is time to give Angelina Jordan (Republic Records rising star) a shot at the next James Bond theme. Queen gave her a excellent "Shout Out" when she did her version of Bohemian Rhapsody, and permission to copyright it.

Face It Alone would be a belting Bond theme

if they could put together some sort of "get back" movie for queen like the beatles that would be super cool

15:04 - I am always saddened that Marc Martel never gets a mention... especially as he did ghost-singing in the movie that was just talked about!

What's that noise at 04:53??

oh i remember that person! "... playing guitar on the MTV"!

We used a stereoscope in one of me geology labs so we could see the 3-D landscapes.

Its crazy they dont have 1

4:47 hitting things

sounds like a medical procedure being done to a Queen hit. he’s such a great guy, i’m going to get this soon.

Tradugir al español , please

I actually reckon Face it Alone would have made a pretty terrific Bond tune.

Please not another film?! The last one was an insult to their friend. The next one can’t possibly right all the historical wrongs it promoted.

I genuinely hope they don't go for a name like "Bohemian Rhapsody 2" tho

How many times does he say "the miracle sessions"

theres so many mini gems in Queens archies ... anyone got greg brooks address and a memory stick lol

Queen and Marc Martel making a new song would be a perfect way to honour Queen and Freddie Mercury. Every time I listen to Brian talking, I feel very relaxed. This man is simply golden.

Please no Bo-Rap 2. We love you guys but let Freddie Rest In Peace.

Why would we need a second movie, the point of the first one was literally tye backsfory of queen, we know what happens from there on in

Let Brian know I've started the script :)

No Bo Rap 2 please! We all know what happened to Freddie and it’s not very entertaining. So it’s best to let it be.

I didn’t know Freddie actually left the band (family) and gone out there on his own and then come back. I thought all the guys had gone and done things on their own… but the band never actually broke up..…

My favourite Queen member…. Isaac Newton

Find a woman that listens to you like Jenni does with Brian 🙏🙌😁

"It was hard for us to let him go ..." What on earth is he talking about? Freddie never left Queen; and both Brian and Roger did their solo projects BEFORE Freddie did his. FFS, this narrative that Freddie did something the others didn't do (i.e. break away from the family) is truly getting on my nerves. At one point, they were all annoyed with each other; they ALL needed a break.

I'd much rather see Brian and Roger do an album with Marc Martel. That would definitely capture as close as we could get to the Queen vocal harmonies, not to mention he's a great pianist as well.

You missed that he is a hair stylist too Lol

Even if an army of writers including Peter Morgan and Julian Fellowes collaborated, there wouldn’t be a (successful) sequel to Bohemian Rhapsody… Simply because there hasn’t been a sequel to Queen… (no disrespect intended towards Mr May, my favorite guitarist of all time 🙏 and the band, my GOAT)

Who Wants To Live Forever would have worked.

I would love to hear a Queen and Adam Lambert James Bond theme!

Left his family didnt like ot and came back We didnt like it... When did that happen!?

When he said “There’s more”, it was clear (again) this is a sales pitch. Milk it, Bri.

Brian, legend. Adam....Not .

There's no Bond movie to match a Queen song

I think Adam, Brian, and Roger need to dial it back a little with the live concerts and do some jam sessions together, see what pops out. And they should do a Collab with Marc at some point.

I have to be honest, as nice as it was to hear an unheard Queen track, I thought it was a poor song by Queen standards.

If you took away his grey hair the blokes not changed much in over 30 years

Also Brian says they told truth in the Film? Absolute nonsense 🤣

Too bad that they pitch-corrected Freddie's voice on the new song. Totally unnecessary.

Are you friggin serious 12yrs to come up with that mess! Barely watch it There was barely any truth Freddie was portrayed in a very unfair way And didnt show his real personality

Un personaggio pubblico di grande cordialità meno come chitarrista anche se ha talento ci sono almeno più di trenta chitarristi più grandi di MAY HENDRIX BERRY PAGE VAN HALEN BECK x citarne alcuni MAY e stato declassato al trentatreesimo posto tradotto e peggiorato

Borap 2. More fabricated BS. Freddie groveling to Brian to be let back in the band was the point where I gave up.

I hope Bohemian Rhapsody 2 coming not...

Sorry I prefer Marc Martel the real voice of freddy

Brian May sacrifices his dignity for popularity. Not nice. chattering all the time..
