Katrin_Enkel wrote: Tero! Stay awake? During one of BRIAN'S solos? You gotta be kidding? No? Well myself was in heaven during the solos so maybe I was dreaming? ;o)

Katrin_Enkel wrote: Have you been to many concerts? Myself, well this in Globen was the first! Maybe if I had heard many solos that were similar I too would find them boring, who knows... ;o) On the VHS tapes I've got with concerts such as "live in Rio" and "live at Wembley" etc I can't remember any solos of Brian. Were they simply cut down or what? Do anybody know?

Katrin_Enkel wrote: I think I'll have to buy DVDs with the concerts as Im sure the VHS tapes doesn't have any Brian solos. Yes, the Expressen reviewer wrote the "torture" expression re. Brians solos...

Katrin_Enkel wrote: What did Expressen write re. "say it's not true"? Personally I thought that Rogers voice was a little bit shaky but that the meloduy was nice. I havent bougth Expressen myself, I had the review told to me by my husband that (as you) had the paper for free on a plane. Did you go to Sweden to see the concert or did you have other reasons for the trip. Gallivanting over to Sweden for one concert seems a bit extravagant... ;o)

Katrin_Enkel wrote: Fantastically done by you Tero, going from Finland to Sweden for the Queen concert. I wish I could do the same and go to the Hyde Park gig, Im sure that will be a happening worth experiencing!!!! Are you going to any more of the concerts?

Katrin_Enkel wrote: Have you heard anything regarding a concert next year? What? Where?

Katrin_Enkel wrote: Hello The Game! How do you fuck the papers, seriously? According to my experience the reviewers write crap about conserts and artists and they can just go on doing this year after year spewing there negative words around. How do we stop them polluting the atmosphere? I think "last horizon" was awsome, and the lights enhanced that feeling!

Katrin_Enkel wrote: Well TheGame... and here I had quite a few ideas about how to proceed... ;o) Seriously, HOW do we get the people writing musical reviews NOT to write about Britney as she was gods gift to mankind when YES, Queen is THE GIFT! (among some other gifts of course ;o) Personally I believe that musical reviewers sort of follow th stream, every band that has a good review gets another as some sort of fashion, and the band that in the first review get written about with words like "pathetic" gets these words in the next one as well as the reviewer reads all the others beforehand and have a predjudice about the concert. Personally I think the Queen +PR concert was an avsome experience! And the guys really ROCK!

Brian May is one of the best guitarists on the planet and has been one of the most inventive players in a generation inspiring thousands of kids to pick up the axe. His techinique and sound are entirely unique --- i don't believe i have heard any of your stuff by the way ... ??? If you hate Queen so much why not do us all a favour and stay at home and do the knitting!

TERO WROTE; That's right... I keep forgetting that I MUST like longwinded guitar solos to appreciate music of any kind. It's so easy to think that there are more instruments and artists out there, but I'm glad there's always someone like you to remind me of the facts. I really love it when people make the assumption that you can't possibly like Queen if you don't idolise Mr. May.

georghi wrote: I just think that to rubbish Brian May's guitar solos as boring is pretty pathetic. If you listen to his work over the years, each solo is different -- it may have similar figures, signatures or licks at times but every one is unique. a reflection of 'How he feels on the night' and so on. but hey --- you have a right to your opinion and i have a right to tell you it's wrong. Try listening to a selection of solos from 1974 to 2005 and the penny will drop. It's about dynamics with Brian, touch and feel. If you play guitar you should understand what this means. And if you don't play guitar but love music, you should STILL understand what this means. still ... don't give up your knitting either!

Tero wrote: That's your opinion. I just happen to think that guitar solos for their own sake are boring. It's understandable that somebody who plays the guitar him/herself would find those subtle differences, but to me it souns like the same every time. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry for not being macho enough to like the solos, but I'm sure you're having my share of those wet dreams about the red special. Enjoy! ;)

Katrin_Enkel wrote: TheGame! Can't you post your review of the review here? I'd love to read it!

Katrin_Enkel wrote: And about solos... Im a woman and I am always excited and covered in goose bumps when hearing a guitar solo. Something in the sound, the harmonies, the shift between mild and aggressive, between slow and rapid gets to my nervs and feelings in a way that I find difficult to describe but is great anyway! Well, do you have to be MACHO to apreciate a solo???? Where did you get that idea?

I agree with you entirely Katrin. well said! It's nothing to do with any kind of macho nonsense --

Katrin_Enkel wrote: Gee, I obviously like watching a guy masturbate!! I didn't know that was why I got those shivers, goose bumps etc. ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for todays laugh Tero!

georghi wrote: Mr. Tero, Do you live at altitude or something or maybe in a blackhole somehwere? I think theres some pretty thin air passing through your melon man. take a cold shower mate. this forum topic has dried up -- i think Tero is trying to drag us all down to his level of depravity --- time for something better i think. slainte!
