Just wanted to say that I received my copy of 'Bang!' in the mail today...
WOW! - it's all I can say right now.
I highly recommend everyone buy a copy.
Astronomy is intriguing, I grant that. As a Queen fan, however, I take an interest in Brian May, the guitar player; not Brian May, the astronomer. I'm not going to buy this book just because Brian preaches it's glory over and over and over on his website. Brian can't seem to find enough good things to say about his own projects!

likewise. i love brian, i love him as a guitar player, im taking astronomy next year so if i need it for the class id get it but other than that....eh.
Awww come on guys....this book is fantastic stuff!
It is well worth checking out, the pix alone make it worth the cover price.
If you live in London, Bri will be doing a book signing locally the first week in December.
Check out the details on his website: link
Cheers
I was considering the book, but seeing this kind of enthusiasm makes me sick, so I changed my mind.
Tell you what I'd buy though.. an audio book version, or perhaps an in-depth video presentation.. either featuring Brian. I love hearing & seeing him. (talking about anything other than boring Queen shit)
Perhaps he could even record some cool background music eh?
