jengafer Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Love this story haha I got an autograph of him too He signed my "the works" LP at the red carpet in Zurich (opening night for WWRY) I just went there and was waiting outside the carpet and then suddenly I saw brian OMG that was sooo amazing !!! I wasn't able to talk to him in any way... too many cameramen who wanted to do interviews and stuff But hear him talking and see him right in front of me was so amazing I will never forget !!! I would have loved that, what an amazing night for you:bleh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbm Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Well as you askIt was at the Back to the light tour in 1993 I saw him at the brixton acadamy, royal albert hall and Bouremouth int Centre. After Bmouth(my home town) I went round the back and waited for ages, then he and Anita came out together and he signed stuff for us fans and i stupidly said that i loved him:blush-anim-cl: He was very serious and polite as usual I have the tour book, the show was amazing, he pretty much went through his album and addedd some queen songs and it was very dramatic, amazing atmosphere It was easy to meet him as it was just his tour, like when roger did his tours too, which i went to!! They were amazing! When they do big stuff it is impossible I had gone with my best friend and when it was time for us to be picked up we werent there(we were with Bri:biggrin2: ) and we were reported to the police as MISSING:roftl: Oh my how cool! I'm so jealous! Love this story haha I got an autograph of him too He signed my "the works" LP at the red carpet in Zurich (opening night for WWRY) I just went there and was waiting outside the carpet and then suddenly I saw brian OMG that was sooo amazing !!! I wasn't able to talk to him in any way... too many cameramen who wanted to do interviews and stuff But hear him talking and see him right in front of me was so amazing I will never forget !!! I repeat, I'm so jealous! But congrats on meeting him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasia_xxx Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I must write it here as well:mf_lustslow: I've always considered Brian the best guitarist of all times and he was always in my top 3 of hands to shake and.... IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AT MIKA CONCERT!!! What more can I want from life?! I was in the theatre lobby just before Mika's performance - after Blue Roses. Suddenly I spotted Brian and he looked exactly like in all the photos! It happened too quickly to make me feel nervous, so I just came up to him, said my name and that I've always been a fan. WE SHOOK HANDS:mf_lustslow: and he was extremely nice! I asked him for a photo but he said that he didn't want to attract attention, which I understood perfectly so I just thanked him again and was about to leave when he said something like: 'I'm really sorry for the photo. You'll think I'm horrible. But maybe something else?' and he looked around... he was holding a beer so he said: Maybe I can buy you a drink?:mf_lustslow: For me that was too much already so I said: 'Beer, Brian May and Mika in one place - too dangerous' and I went away but before we shook hands again:thumb_yello: Amazing meeting! And especially at MIKA's gig!!!! WOW!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I KNOW its a long shot but i HAVE to speak to him or ask him for a pic or something .... this is Brian Bloody May !!! I couldnt believe it ! So i waited for him to finish chatting with whoever he was with - there was no-one else around , and said "Hi Brian ! How are you ? I know you probs wont be able to , but would i be able to get a pic please ? " ... He said " Hi there , how are you , i would do a picture but the thing is everyone will want one" ... to which i said "ok thats fine ! No problem at all , i just had to ask while the opportunity was here" ... then he said "lets shake hands though" ... so he held his hand out and i shook his hand .... he asked what my name was i told him , and i said , my BF is downstaires ,hes a massive queen fan , and im dying to make him jelous for sending me to the bar ..... he said - "well that can be arranged!" ... NO idea what that meant , but he was being playful ! .... i said ok ive gotta go , mika is gonna start and he went down too , so i saw where he sat, he was directly 6 rows behind us ... and i told fred and he couldnt believe it ! ..... He wouldnt even turn round to look bless him , he was so nervous to see him ! LOL! .... I have to admit , i dont know HOW i had the nerve to ask him or chat anything to him , but i just couldnt let the opportunity pass me by ! ... as they say , if you dont ask , you dont get ! ... and i got a hand shake and a small convo ! I then bumped into him again unexpectedly an hour later to which he said "oh hello again! :biggrin2:" ... I just said oh Hi again ! Hope your enjoying the show ! Then me AND fred saw him upstaires in the foyer after the show , but it started getting too busy, so fred didnt get much chance to say anything But it was truely amazing !!!!!!!!!!!! was more a matter of luck !!! he has such a fatherly warmth , i felt extremely comfortable around him Hes amazing !
