The man The voice The guitar
Hi Anneke, where did you get this info from? Maybe you meant Brian Jones of AC/DC, not Brian May of Queen? I have asked my fellow brian May fan, maybe he can pour some light on that, but I highly doubt it is really true. It was also once rumored that Chris lived next to Mark Knopfler so they are friends, but from 1993 till 2007 Chris was residing at Sol Mill in Coockham and neither Knopfler nor May ever lived near that village. I think these are simply speculations on names.ann268 wrote:BTW Chris and Brian lived in the same neighborhood for a long time and went to the pub together.
I think it is because of different labels Quenn and Chris were signed to. If Chris had taken considerably greater part in Queen's work, their label would have had to pay royalties to Chris's label, which is in most cases a big issue, which is often been tried to be avoided by the big labels. Most "guest" work Chris has ever done (except for Elton John's Duets) for other artists, was within smaller labels.MRB wrote:Did not mean he should have been credited with finger snapping, ment that shame he did not involved on some hit song with his slide guitar, maybe even credits for writing slide parts and then royalties

Hi all, Last Train seems to have real drums and everything okay but Neil Drinkwater)) His childish synthetic imitations of the instruments supposed to be played live in such songs make me go bonkers... The song itself recalls me a lot of Blue Street from Blue Jukebox and Bob Taylor from Loisiana & New Orleans CD3 of Blue Guitars and some other similar songs.elangelo wrote:What a great song this could have been with real drums and a bit less of Neil Drinkwater...
Strange that I cannot say the same having read tons of interviews and articles with Chris over the years and having Brian May fans among my friends. Quick googling both names together does not yield any intersting results, maybe you could give me an example of a really interesting result of such googling?..ann268 wrote:I have read that in one of the many interviews I've read along the years. Sorry can't recall which one. And I know it's mentioned several times. Why should it be mentioned several times, still it would be great if Chris could confirm that! If you google both names together, you see they knew each other well.
I know that (almost) everyone hates "The Road to Hell Part 2", but I loved it, among other reasons, for featuring one single real saxohpone against the backdrop of all the synth sounds. It's not even really expensive, just get one or two session musicians and it will change the whole thing!but Neil Drinkwater)) His childish synthetic imitations of the instruments supposed to be played live in such songs make me go bonkers...
Нщ still must be mixing up some things... Martin Ditcham was never involved in Brian's works, he still played with Sade back in 1986 when he already joined Chris, he played with some small groups like Latin Quarter and along with Robert on max Middleton's solo works, but Queen...ann268 wrote:I'm sure I read or heard it somewhere. Hope It will come back to me where I heard read it.
I know you want confirmation... They share a lot of muscial contacts, studio's, even Martin Ditcham.
