Could Brian pull off a Santana?
| mhoman00 24.03.2008 15:42 |
After all this Q+PR stuff dies out, do you think Brian could pull off what Santana did...recording a whole album of new material with guest artists? There are a lot of big name singers out there who I think would love to contribute vocals to a track on the album (Axl Rose, Gary Cherone, Dave Grohl, Brandon Flowers, Joe Elliot, Justin Hawkins, Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance, Ben Folds, Billy Joe Armstrong, Trent Reznor, Billy Korgan to name a few). Do you think the album would be a success? |

Hard to say. I WOULD buy it |

Listen to those Santana albums very carefully. He's just doodling. Whenever the vocals drop out, there's Carlos... fooling around again. Don't get me wrong. Beyond Appearances is one of my all time favorite albums. I've been on board from Abraxas to Milagro, but those new albums are really annoying. I'm not fooled. So could Brian just stop creating complex solos and start playing little blurbs in between EVERY vocal? God, I hope not. |

pretty sure I would get it, except for a couple songs those santana albums are pretty damn enjoyable. in fact now that i think about it more, I would LOVE for Brian do do somthing like this |

I would love more a conceptual album based in his love about astronomy... Some time ago a fan ask this to him in a letter and he said that maybe someday he will do it. ;) P. |

Great Question. I think Brian could go further than Santana. Not suggesting anything of a dis-credit to Santana, but Brian has shown through out time in Queens catologue, he can play many styles. This Im sure would allow him to play with a diverse range of artists as apose to Santanas commercials hits that seem to be about heart break. So, yeah, I think if it was produced right, Brian would be good..... It would be better if Roger played drums... but lets not get in to this Q + business. |

Could Brian pull off a Santana..... If Santana would let Brian, maybe he might.. Then again, would Brian suck of Justin Timberlake? |

I have a pick that Santana used when he played Perth last. It's fucking HUGE :/ I'll get a picture of it if you like |

You can buy them on the net. Too light for my taste, but they are pretty big. link |

I think Brian could do something, but I think Brian's approach to doing something like that would be more diverse, and he'd push the envelope a bit further. |

I would love if QUEEN (not just Brian) do a thing like that. |

I would hope that Brian would aspire to more than playing the same riffs in between the vocal lines like Carlos did. |

not a lot of people would buy it sorry to say but a lot of people outside this forum dont know who Brian May is. |

sorry. i just read the title to this thread and wondered if someone had heard something about Brian's "new" sexual prediliction for w*nking off latin men? |

wouldn' such a release be what we all hoped for the last 10+ years before PR came along ? |
| princetom 31.03.2008 10:10 |
@ artemismoon 20 bucks for a single santana pick ? whow! very odd! an i thought mr.may's are expensive... |
| Micrówave 31.03.2008 12:59 |
and did you see the pick weighs a half pound? |
| *Rain Must Fall* 31.03.2008 14:08 |
After all the people Brian has worked with in the past...is there a need for him to do a Santana. He does not need IIMO. |
| Yogurt 31.03.2008 22:30 |
I don't think so. I mean he's a great guitarist.. but Satana is FAMOUS for his style and sound I think Brian is only recognized for his sound. |

I doubt it. Brian and Roger found out that without the name "Queen", interest in their solo work dwindled rapidly. |
