WHAT WAS THE FIRST QUEEN ALBUM YOU BOUGHT? "Greatest Hits," hey you gotta start somewhere

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A FAN OF QUEEN/BRIAN MAY? About 8 years

FAV. QUEEN ALBUM/S: Live at Wembley '86, Queen II, A Night At The Opera

FAV. BRIAN MAY ALBUM/S: Live At Brixton Academy

FAV. QUEEN/BRIAN MAY SONG/S: "Love Of My Life" acoustic version, Business, Spread Your Wings, Tie Your Mother Down, FBI

FAV. QUEEN/BRIAN MAY VIDEO/S: "BoRap," cause it's about the only one we ever see in the US. The entire Wembley '86 video kicks ass (i'm kind of obsessed with the place), and the Tribute concert video is probably my favorite video of anyone, anywhere, anytime.

FAV. QUEEN/BRIAN MAY LYRIC/QUOTE: "It's time to get down, get down, get down make love." :-)

QUEEN/BRIAN MAY CONCERTS ATTENDED: NONE!!! Dammit...i love everything about being 18 except for the fact that I was 3 the last time Queen played in Detroit and 11 the last time Brian toured the US. :-(

WHEN YOU THINK OF BRIAN WHAT'S THE FIRST WORD THAT COMES TO MIND? the red guitar

IF YOU COULD MEET BRIAN WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST THING YOU WOULD SAY TO HIM? Him?: So, um, do you wanna jam?

IF YOU COULD HAVE BRIAN OVER FOR ONE DAY WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR THAT DAY? Play guitar with him and his band for as long as humanly possible, and when he does solos, play all the guitar harmonies along with him...that would be such an amazing feeling. And playing with his band would be amazing as well, Eric Singer is one of my favorite drummers. If you liked him on the "Another World" tour check out Kiss' "Carnival Of Souls" or "Revenge," as his drumming rocks on those albums also.

WHAT SONG WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO SEE BRIAN COVER? All The Young Dudes

WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE BRIAN COLLABORATE WITH IN THE FUTURE? Besides Roger and John, Def Leppard, definately. Whenever I listen to a Lep album the songs and vocals are definately reminicent of late 70's Queen. Love it...

WHAT IS YOUR MUSICAL TALENT? guitar & piano, and singing sometimes, and some mediocre songwriting, but hopefully it's improving

YOUR WEBSITE: http://members.aol.com/WalrusOct9/index.html (should be up by the end of March)

WHAT OTHER MUSIC DO YOU REALLY LIKE? Dream Theater, the Beatles, Oasis, Stones, The Verve, Kula Shaker, Rush, Billy Joel, U2, the Black Crowes, Yes...

MAILING LISTS YOU ARE ON: Whatever, the Oasis discussion list, a Billy Joel list, and The Verve Information network

MESSAGE FOR THE FANS: "You all have really good taste :-)...and musicians, keep the spirit of Queen alive in the music you create now. Queen can never be duplicated, but their influence can be carried over into new music for years to come."

MESSAGE TO BRIAN: " Brian, if you ever read this, there are fans in the states who would do anything to see you perform live. Your music, especially the two solo albums, has inspired me to create music for the last 8 years, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I was just discovering Queen right after Freddie died, so i'm too young to remember it, but i know that the music of Queen, Freddie, and Cozy will live forever..."
