BBC HARDtalk - Brian May (Pt2) 22 Sept 2010

[@vickit5741]

"Did I say that? Very eloquent, wasn't it?" LOL Gotta love Brian May.

[@donnanaples5214]

That comment was so endearing, what a sweetheart .

[@iamcasihart]

Doesn't he just look epic and beautiful playing on top of that palace!??! What is not "cool" about that?!!? The more I learn of Brian May, the more fond I become. He is just so impressive and classy. Truly, he knows how to express his thoughts and opinions in a lovely, polite way. His talent is immeasurable and the fact that he is lending a much-needed voice to those beautiful animals- well, my hat is off to you, Brian! Continued blessings!!!

[@paulbertie67]

This guy is such an articulated and educated man. Rock genius, astronomer

[@Canuckmom128]

Brian May can say more in a whisper than a room full of Politicians can say, all shouting at each other. You know someone is a force to be reckoned with when they don't even have to raise their voice to make a point. SUCH an amazing, wise voice and phenomenal talent...I mean seriously - just the Rock Guitar God and member of Queen bit puts him in the 99th percentile. Then you throw in a PhD in Astrophysics, and that would make many a man think and behave like he was "smarter than your average bear", but not Dr. May. Brian uses that voice to raise awareness and funds for the Mercury Phoenix Trust, for Animal Welfare, and other important issues ( when he isn't touring with Roger and Adam, or writing/ collaborating with the Astrophysics/Space Community). 5:24 -You are Spot-On, Brian...the Class System in Britain is not going down without a fight, and the only people chasing Foxes on horseback with hounds are Toffs. The world needs more Brian May - it would be a much kinder, gentler place...with wicked guitar riffs.

[@DakotaCelt1]

I could listen to Brian all day. He is articulate and educated.

[@citizen2879]

Brian May, you will be remembered for being such an inspiring man!

[@sigridschulz3201]

This world need more people like Dr. Brian May, he's such an intellegence man. I've very much respect to him!

[@odedka76]

What an incredible man Brian May is. Bringing out the urgency to change the way we as a race are handling this planet and its other inhabitants in such a simple and very clear manner.

[@thebeatles240]

Respect for Brian may : +1 And I thought I had infinite respect for him already.

[@jeczybula]

Incredible how patient Brian is and how smartly he answers to ridiculous questions. Brian is a genius and incredibly good man. And honestly I've lost respect to Sackur after this.

[@tdearsan]

boy, no matter how much good one tries to do, there's always someone waiting to say, "but what about these guys? what about those guys?" if you help one or two groups, somebody wants you to help EVERYBODY. it's just not realistic.

[@Twosharppencils]

Thank god for the voice of Mr May speaking up for defenceless animals. I'm on your side Bri Keep rockin'

[@ManMadeParadise]

One of the best interviews in a long while, Brian always handles himself so well despite some of the grilling question. Looking forward to the Freddie Mercury/Queen movie :) Thanks Brian!!

[@kearonandrewobrien7460]

Thank you Hard Talk. Thank you Sir Brian May. Thank Queen of UK Mom,for getting Brian up on the Roof

[@gaylachiriaco8667]

Brian May has not been knighted. Therefore it's inappropriate to address him as "Sir", although I don't know what's taking HRM so long to do it. 🤔

[@Daburcor]

Ah, Brian May. Fucking love this guy.

[@chas453]

He looks like the late Sir Isaac Newton , and has a lot in common with him, a human being of a higher order.

[@SuzanneRoberts]

Most eloquent, as always.

[@MrPaulywag]

I'm 17, a "younger generation fan," and I see absolutely nothing uncool about playing guitar on the top of Buckingham palace like he did!

[@janviljoen7001]

So do I.

[@TheLinz78]

Not the hugest Brian May fan in the world, but by God, he could convince me of anything.

[@dawndebris2]

12:26...That moment, right there, just turned me into Brian May's biggest fan.

[@merqury5]

@Griwhoolda I think you are right, he is actually young in that he is showing us that rich people over 60 with money also can be informed and party to the good forces in this world. He has been a pioneer all his life, Brian does just not get that about himself, he is just so honestly humble.

[@rossdixonellis]

Funny that this interviewer asks if he realized it may have been uncool to perform for the queen when his band is named queen. It isn't your anarchy rock band. It's a monarchy rock band. haha.

[@Farookhq17]

What a genius!!! Brian May you're such a class guy!!!

[@maydaygalliard]

Congratulations, Brian! Eloquent and considered, as ever.

[@pattylisk6170]

Oh my gosh Brian . You are so beautiful and versed in all you do. I admire you and continue to learn all and can from you !! And of course to listen to your music now and then . May you and your family be Blessed ❤️

[@slendersail]

Interviewer: "If you really care, then humans are more important". "If you really care about animals, then batteries are more important". Why do some always try to make 'the issue of the day' more important than the life of even one animal, and use this as 'proof' that a person is genuine? Issues of the day will always change, but the true needs of animals and people won't. It's about being humble.

[@whiskershiver]

Nicely done Bri!! Thank you x

[@judithhand4987]

Hey, there, Bri. Neat to see this (and pt 1) again. I love the jacket you had on on the roof -wow! Neat that you're given the opportunity to also focus on your concern for wild animals! Best w/blessings, Jude

[@Griwhoolda]

"Old men like me." Awww...Brian's not "old."

[@WayneBurgess1]

@ismaithliombainne Listen again he says No scientist has the right to say if a god exists. He makes the seporation between science and faith which I think he should be given credit for.:)

[@queenredspecial]

Ah, Brian. Tear in my eye as usual. P.S. Not cool?! To play on the roof of the palace? What's this guy smoking?!

[@melodefidler5195]

I admire Brian may for getting involved in animal rights. I hate it when any animal is abused. 9 have pets and I love them a lot. I think we should all tell our goats how we feel.

[@terew9145]

Suprreme Two part interview w grand footage n dedication by BRIAN ..ADVOCATE VOICE FOR SPEECHLESS CREATION AS WELL WE LOVE HIM MUCH N QUEEB AS WELL.❤💖❤

[@rogertaylorNr1]

he is one of my idols and a genius! if all people would be or think like brian, the world would be a better place! but i dont like the interviewer! some questions are really stupid!!

[@vagabond197979]

This was a really intelligent interview on both sides. Pretty refreshing.

[@aevelizee]

Such a wonderful person!

[@Tristanrgreene11]

why isnt there ever a good interview? ya know? ya always have some dude asking brian stupid questions... and just almost trying to irritate him... or maybe hes just so off base with a few questions that is comes off as irritable. brian may is a sweet dude but when you piss him off i wouldnt want to be around... can u imagine him and freddie fighting like brothers? holy moly! dont mess with brian man... but i can imagine freddie whining the best everytime! :)

[@slendersail]

Great comment about the barriers having been broken down, the moderators always try to nail you into a category "oh you're not a rebel anymore". Yea yea...

[@kearonandrewobrien7460]

Yes indeed Brian May is Right

[@Alexander87oclock]

The interviewer is a tosser... " It wasn't necessarily cool ". In my opinion, it was very indeed cool, and considering i am only 20 years old the model of a " Young Queen fan ". But more so, as Brain said, It really is about the music. I look at Queen as the greatest band ever and look at there 20+ years of music. He and the other members of Queen including the late Freddie Mercury don't ever need to prove themselves ever again.

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

You have good taste, young man...

[@greenogre22]

@sheepdog411 you´re just partly right ´cos the interviewer talked ´bout suffering from financial loss in terms of the farmers so brian just responded to this. nobody was talking about the emotional concern as for the fact you have to slaughter cows to prevent more disease. brian is considered to be emotional so he would´ve answered such kind of question properly for sure.

[@pat3834]

If that interviewer ever accomplishes a quarter of what Brian May has, it'll be a miracle!!. The interviewer is so damn cocky!!

[@janviljoen7001]

No, its part of the show, but Brian answered brilliantly.

[@flickchick8262]

Brian may not know it, but he's a Buddhist.

[@dreams-do-come-through]

Exactly my thoughts.

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

Me too

[@killerqueenie2000]

Brian please srop Cameron, you have all my support, from a dutch fan!!!! Marijke

[@mkcwebmaster]

@sheepdog411 - I take it you are referring to milk cows, not beef cows, which are bred to be slaughtered anyway? A farmer that gets upset about slaughtering cows? I've heard it all now!

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

I haven't picked up a guitar in almost two years - not once - used to play hours every day. Now I have no calluses and almost no strength in my hands whatsoever... I'd been playing over 30 years... Depression is a real bitch!!!! You lose every joy in life in a black empty hole of despair... it's terribly sad to see all of my old girls (guitars) gathering dust in a silent row... 😟

[@susancooper3111]

Who is this irritating interviewer? What STUPID questions. But typical of the always articulate & lovely Brian May, he answers each confrontational question by this wanker with the utmost patience & clarity & makes the man look like the idiot he is. Brian May is what we all aspire to be... honest, caring of all species, & so remarkably intelligent that he always impresses everyone who takes the time to see him as not only a stellar musician & compassionate songwriter, but as an example of what we would all like to be. Bless you Brian for always telling us who the man behind the guitar is. You are so down to earth even after all you have achieved, and as Freddie knew & we all know, YOU ARE A LEGEND ALL ON YOUR OWN.

[@janviljoen7001]

No, that was part of the program, hence Hard Talk, and Brian sidestepped it eloquently.

[@Wi11i4mJM]

Brian, just punch this annoying guy haha. I do like the fact that his views are well balanced ☯️

[@Nina-oi1qk]

The interviewer interrupting Brian is annoying. Brian keeps stopping to let him speak.

[@slendersail]

@thedude3092 Who are those people who didn't know where the sun went at night? That's usually our own lack of knowledge talking... just because those people used a different language, but as with a circle, we are returning. For example, it's now plausible that "Dark Matter" is, and works like, what those people called "Ether" (etc). And they too said God was unknowable.

[@ZTripin]

Brain should have punched this guy

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

He's WAY too nice to do that ... the worst he tends to get these days is "a bit cross"...

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

He's not called BRAIN (mayhaps he SHOULD be)...

[@denyxx88]

se parla della caccia sono contenta che ne sia contro purtroppo non riesco a capire tutto di quello che dicono ma comunque trovo assurdo cacciare gli animali usare la loro pelliccia e quant'altro non sono vegetariana però a tutto c'è un limite io adoro gli animali!!!bravo brian

[@joenouveau7109]

1:12 um... yes it was

[@janviljoen7001]

Brian is a smart scientist and I liked the conversation. But I dont think he knows exactly how DNA originated and works in all species today.

[@chillmeisterfunk]

is this interviewer just trying to bate Brian into an argument? What an utter prat.

[@ismaithliombainne]

Oh for fu... I loved him until he said no scientist can say whether there's a god or not... ah well.

[@janviljoen7001]

No, as an astro physicist he spoke the truth. Have you ever been to a children's cancer ward or an institution for the insane so see how DNA went wrong?

[@flora3177]

Bruan May is not a fair play man ... and not honest ..

[@iris67si]

Really? And how do you know that? Btw who are you to judge?
