De verbinding is weer up & running

January 27, 2004

London, England - Frizzy haired Brian May, one time guitarist and
current soft drink pusher, was taken by surprise when he was told of
the vitriolic response by Queen fans towards the new Pepsi ad
featuring three of today's pop music icons, Britney Spears, Beyonce
and Pink - why? Because they're singing Queen's signature tune "We
Will Rock You."

"I don't see what the big deal is, to be honest" says May. "We sold
out way back in 1982 on our 'Hot Space' album. As a band, we decided
that we needed to suck the black community dry of their money by
copping their tunes. I guess looking back it wasn't the greatest idea
ever. Turns out a gay singer and a clog wearing guitarist wasn't what
the funk/R&B fans were looking for."

However some 22 years later, the remaining band members seem to think
they've learned from their past mistakes. "Oh yeah, on 'Hot Space' we
were basically relying on the musical merits of those songs to sell
it" says Roger Taylor, Queen's photophobic drummer. "Now all we need
is to latch onto not one, not two, but three of the most popular
singers around, licence them the rights to a 27 year old song, play
dress up and watch the money roll in! My god, we didn't have to do
anything for it! If we had known this all those years ago, we'd have
closed up shop and sold our catalog to Michael Jackson. I mean he
REALLY knows how to match up the right song with the right product.
'Revolution' and sneakers, bloody brilliant!"

The new Pepsi ad comes in the wake of the brilliant collaborations in
recent years with the talented boy band 5ive. When asked about that
duet (which once again used "We Will Rock You") making a "worst songs"
list in the UK, May responds "Well, it's keeping us in the public eye
isn't it?"

Jim Beach, who has been the band's manager for a few decades notes
that "We're making more money now then we did when Freddie died. If
you think death equals skyrocketing album sales, you've never whored
yourself to major corporations before."

Beach also divulges details on future Queen releases ? "Our musical,
which has been a huge success in the UK and Australia will soon be
opening in Finland, North Korea and (hopefully) China, though China
allowing it to play there will depend heavily upon Brian and Roger
publically championing communism....well, there are billions of
potential consumers in China so that's a distinct possibility."

Queen's continued dominance of the marketplace also extends into the
realm of DVD as their famous Wembley concert and two collections of
their music videos all went to #1 on the charts. "See, we are
following the basic business model of the major movie studios. Most of
our DVDs feature grainy, washed out images, not to mention half of the
picture being chopped off, but we know full well of the demand for
Queen DVDs. Our fans will buy anything. In a few years, we will
re-release them with brand new, high definition transfers and present
them in full screen all so people will have to buy them again. Never
do it right the first time because you can always sucker them for
twice the money down the line. Thanks to 20th Century FOX for that
one!"

A few years back, a collection of Freddie Mercury's solo work was
released as a box set but notably absent were his duets with famed
baby poker Michael Jackson. Brian May's only response? "We'll wait for
the trial before deciding on releasing them. Oh, not to see if he's
guilty or not, that hardly matters. We'd just rather wait for the
media hype to reach a fever pitch. Jim Beach has a solid business mind
you know."

Finally, one question that keeps coming from Queen fans is when will
the box sets of rare material ever be released. "We'd love to do them.
Our marketing research shows that with Pepsi backing us, public
interest in Queen is sky high" says Taylor but before he continues, a
noticeable grimace surfaces. "but we no longer have those tapes." When
asked where they might be Taylor can only say "Our bass player has
them and we don't have a fucking clue where he is, much less our
master tapes."

ROGER'S MOSCOW INTERVIEW

Thank you to Alex Lorias for translating Roger's interview BACK into English!!!

I was a little jolted to see that when I am apparently out of earshot Roger, in interviews, will get a swipe in at me if he can!! Though I'm sure it was offered in a spirit of jocularity! Just to give my point of view, Roger may regard our work with "Five" or the new "We Will Rock You" with Pink, Britney and Beyonce as "mistakes", and he says they were all my ideas. Well, the truth is that none of these collaborations were my idea, but I welcomed them all because I love to work with new people, talented people, and to me it's all a great adventure, and a chance to break new ground. True, our musical takes a pop at Boy Bands and the like, but Ben would be the first to acknowledge that many of the human beings IN some of those outfits may be very talented. It's the SYSTEM which he feels needs shaking up. So you will find there is no personal slagging off of individuals in our show - only gentle fun spun around some of them - including US !!!

It's my choice to work hard on some of these projects - it's usually Roger's choice to stay largely on the periphery, but no-one in our group objects when it's time to be paid!!! ha ha!!

Love Brian.

P.S. I won't be saying any more about this in the near future, because, although there have always been many conflicts within the band, we have always chosen NOT to launder our dirty linen in public. I would prefer it to stay that way!

With Love
brian

zou Roger het dan eindelijk doorhebben??

Maar nog even over die bovengenoemde DVD's zijn die ook met dolby-surround (of hoe dat dan ook maar heet)? Als ik me bedenk hoe ik kan genieten van The Prophets Song in stereo, dan moet dat in 5.1 wel helemaal genieten geblazen zijn!

* PimD gaat binnenkort een nieuwe stereo kopen voor dit soort dvd's
