Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira wrote: Interesting to hear that. I always had the exact opposite opinion. I even thought about Eddie not pushing to hard because it was Brian's project. I may be biased, of course. :) I also remember that the biggest selling Brazilian rock magazine of those days (SomTres) had an article saying Brian kicked Eddie's ass. Interestingly enough (for Brazilian fans at least) the article was written by a Paulo Ricardo Medeiros, who then went on a very successfull carreer as singer and bass player of the most popular Brazilian band of the 80's, RPM. He then went on a solo carreer and recorded Love of My Life in Portuguese and Spanish. Mmmm maybe he was biased as well. ;)  I digress. Cheers, Ogre-

Neither EVH or BM are great here, but IMO EVH is a lot more comfortable jamming than Brian, and his guitar on Blues Breaker sounds better than the rather weedy sound Brian gets out of the Red Special. And btw, just because a number of RS owners like that particular sound, doesn't mean it sounds particularly good. That's like saying Yamaha motorbikes are better than Kawasaki motorbikes because a bunch of Yamaha owners think so. Anyway, you';re entitled to your opinion, as am I: I think EVH wins hands down, but neither of them demostrate a lot of 'soul' in Blues Breaker. Star Fleet is a little better, and it at least sounds like Brian a bit. Let Me Out is cliched and dull, which is probably why it never made it onto a Queen album (unlike, say, Sleepin on the Sidewalk).

INHO you are full of crap. I got the CD out this afternoon and have been listening to it, and it is relaxed and enjoyable on the part of all concerned. Why do you all insist on turning it into rocket science? There used to be a link to an interview with Brian on the Queenzone homepage where he talked about the Star Fleet project and he told about how he lost an amp during it and Eddie broke a string and they left everything in it as the whole thing was an informal jam session. Sometimes this place just seems like a Rag-On-Brian forum and you all sound like a bunch of spoiled brats.

And IMO you're a stepford. If reading a dissenting opinion annoys you so much, find another forum.
