Brian May a terminé sa thèse d'astronomie après 30 ans
posté le: 2007-08-04
Brian May, guitariste du légendaire groupe de rock Queen, a remis vendredi sa thèse d'astronomie à l'université de Londres où il l'avait commencée il y a plus de trente ans.
Intitulée "Vitesse radiale dans le nuage de poussière zodiacale", cette thèse de 48.000 mots avait été remisée dans le grenier de sa maison du Surrey en 1974 lorsqu'il avait abandonné ses études pour se consacrer au groupe Queen, qui en était encore à ses balbutiements.
L'an dernier, l'auteur des tubes "We will rock you", "The show must go on" ou encore "Flash" a décidé d'achever son travail universitaire pour tenter de décrocher son doctorat.
Après neuf mois de recherches supplémentaires, Brian May, 60 ans, a remis sa thèse à l'Imperial College de Londres et doit passer son grand oral le 23 août, la décision du jury étant attendue peu après.
"C'est vraiment très excitant. Deux experts vont maintenant me faire passer au grill et probablement me faire vivre un enfer", a déclaré le guitariste après avoir remis son travail.
"J'ai fait mon travail et je suis fier de ce travail", a-t-il ajouté. "J'avais l'habitude que les choses se passent comme je voulais mais là, j'ai du m'appliquer et être un étudiant et faire ce que l'on me disait", a-t-il confié.
May est déjà détenteur d'un diplôme en physique obtenu à l'université londonienne où il a étudié les poussières interstellaires.
Si les examinateurs approuvent son travail, qui montre que les nuages de poussière du système solaire se déplacent dans la même direction que les planètes, Brian May recevra son diplôme en août l'an prochain.
Le mois dernier, il avait été fait docteur honoraire de l'université d'Exeter (sud-ouest de l'Angleterre). Il a récemment écrit un ouvrage avec deux astronomes britanniques de renom sur le Big Bang et l'évolution de l'univers.

The Official Freddie Mercury 60th Birthday Party
posté le: 2006-08-10
THE OFFICIAL FREDDIE MERCURY 60th BIRTHDAY PARTY
On September 5th 2006 Freddie Mercury would have been 60, and, to celebrate, EMI Records and Queen are throwing Birthday Parties in his honour in London and Cologne. Each celebration will be centred around a performance of the world-wide smash hit musical We Will Rock You.
With the blessing of Freddie's family, and in association with the International Queen fan clubs, the whole evening will be dedicated to both Freddie and his fans. The proceeds from every ticket bought for these very special performances of We Will Rock You will go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust - Fighting AIDS Worldwide, the charity set up by Brian May, Roger Taylor and Jim Beach following Freddie's death in 1991.
Depending on the party you attend, there will also be one-off script features, red carpets, competitions, special Freddie Mercury moments, Mercury Phoenix Trust collections, official mementos and special guests! The whole evening will also be filmed and photographed with a view to recording the evening’s frivolities!
In London, Capital Gold have lent their considerable support to the event and will be running a Freddie Mercury week that will include some superb competition prizes, plus, of course, hours of Queen and Freddie hits. In Cologne, there will also be great support by the main radio-station WDR 2.
The Official Freddie Mercury 60th Birthday Parties will take place at:
London - The Dominion Theatre
Cologne - Musical Dome
THE ‘MOST OUTRAGEOUSLY DRESSED' COMPETITION
To add to the party atmosphere and sense of occasion, guests at both shows will be encouraged to attend in fancy dress. There will be a special award on the night for the ‘Most Outrageously Dressed'.
The winner at the Dominion Theatre will receive flights, hotel and tickets for two, for the opening night of We Will Rock You in Durban, South Africa on 30th September 2006. The winner in Cologne will receive two tickets for the We Will Rock You opening night in Zurich, Switzerland on 3rd December 2006, also with hotel accommodation.

In 1975, Queen released what can only be described as one of the finest albums ever written. 'A Night At The Opera' - Queens fourth studio album, was a cross pollination of musical genres that pushed all existing boundaries on what was considered the norm for a contemporary album and would catapult Queen into superstardom.
'Queen: The Making Of A Night At The Opera' tells the track by track story of the album through new interviews with Brian May, Roger Taylor and producer Roy Thomas Baker, along with archive interviews with Freddie Mercury and contributions from photographer Mick Rock, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and Ian Hunter from Mott The Hoople amongst others. Illustrated by classic live footage, much of it from the Hyde Park free concert in 1976, and in depth studio analysis the film gives an intimate portrait of the making of a true classic album and is a worthy addition to our acclaimed and highly successful Classic Albums series.
There are over 50 minutes of bonus footage including the following: Additional interviews and analysis of the tracks / Exclusive acoustic performances of '39' and 'Love Of My Life' by Brian May / Previously unreleased full live performance of 'Sweet Lady' from the Hyde Park free concert in 1976.
Bonus Footage:
Party Of The First Part - How the album got its title by Roger Taylor.
'39 - Full new acoustic performance by Brian May.
Half A Sonic Volcano - Roger Taylor gives his drum kit a work out.
Sweet Lady - Brian May introduces the full live performance from the Hyde Park free concert in 1976.
The Prophet's Song - A more in depth analysis by Brian May and Roy Thomas Baker intercut with live footage from the Hyde Park free concert.
Love Of My Life - Full track intercutting between a new acoustic performance by Brian May and a stadium performance by Brian and Freddie.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Kenny Everett talks about the first time he heard the song and Brian May, Roger Taylor and Roy Thomas Baker go into more detail about the construction of the song illustrated by clips from the video.
God Save The Queen - Brian May brings 'A Night At The Opera' to a close.
This Special Edition includes a second bonus DVD disc which has the entire original studio album remixed into Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS surround sound as well as Dolby Digital Stero, with the original videos for 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'You're My Best Friend', newly created visuals for all the other tracks and a commentary on each track made up from archive and new interviews with all four members of the band. The two disc set is packaged in a double amaray case inside a slipcase.
The title is being simultaneously released on DVD and UMD for the PSP.
Queen: The Making Of A Night At The Opera will be available in the QOL store very shortly.
The following titles have just been given the following awards for sales inb France.

QUEEN - THE TOP 100 BOOTLEGS
posté le: 2004-10-15
Queen are one of the most widely pirated bands in the world. A large number of their live performances
(over 700 in all) exist in unauthorised recordings - from the earliest college gigs in 1971, to the final open air spectacular at Knebworth Park in 1986. In response to public demand, large numbers of ‘bootleg’ LPs, tapes, CDs, videos and now DVDs, proliferated.
There is a HUGE mass of bootlegs to choose from – an overwhelming volume. Only a tiny fraction of these are worth seeking out, as most are poor-quality, shoddily conceived packages designed only to part Queen fans from their hard-earned cash. Perhaps 1 in 25 bootlegs are truly worth having. So unless you know precisely where to go and whom to ask, venturing into the murky and spurious world of illegal recordings is not recommended.
Luckily, and this is a world-wide first, Queen have decided to save you the trouble and the risk, by Bootlegging the Bootleggers!
Queen Online.com proposes to offer the VERY BEST of the bootlegs, in terms of sound quality and variation of material, at a sensible price. We have effectively ‘cut to the chase’, offering serious Queen fans the best of the bunch – ‘the crème de la crème’, as Freddie might say!
With expert advice from three acknowledged experts on Queen bootlegs; Frank Hazenberg, Andreas Voigts, Frank Palstra, we offer only the most interesting and significant material. Now you can download the very best of QUEEN IN CONCERT at your leisure, and know that each recording is the best around. Each month we will offer further concerts, so please keep this site bookmarked and keep coming back to check out which gigs have been posted.
Playing the bootleggers at their own game seems an appealing prospect for most of us; here we hope to do just that, hoping that in the end it will lead to greater satisfaction all round.
The first three concerts to be released are:
- Queen Last Stand - 15th may 1985, Osaka
- Jazz Final – 6th June 1979, Jazz Tour
- Life Is Real -Life is real - 9th august 1982, Meadowlands
Check the news on QOL for each month’s new releases!
