Brian May - Rotterdam Interview (walks out)

Brian May, really exhausted, walks out during the interview, apparently something is gone wrong... I can't really say what (don't know dutch), just listen and make your own opinion (and maybe translate it!)

[@beahaasnoot837]

He was very polite..the interviewer was not! Brian was tired... Stop asking stupid questions where we allready know the answer to.

[@nicklewis1882]

Stereotypical polite English gentleman!

[@alisoncain769]

May acted like total professional. The man was exhausted; I thought he dealt with the situation with firm politeness.

[@SpaceCattttt]

Brian is so nice he probably felt bad about this for some time afterwards.

[@jaggass]

Brian lost it with a reporter in Australia last year when he asked the guy to stop filming him and he didn't. He apologized to his fans for getting angry. I don't think he likes being nasty because it's probably not in his nature to be like that and to come across as an asshole when he isn't. He's a really nice guy.

[@SpaceCattttt]

@@jaggass I'm the same way. Getting angry takes a lot of effort when it doesn't come naturally to you, and you also feel somewhat ashamed that you weren't "good enough" to avoid having to raise your voice. Even when you haven't done anything and you're being provoked! I can only imagine how much more stressful this must be when you're famous and everything you do is scrutinized by the public. Then you have your fans as well as yourself to consider, so it must be exhausting.

[@jaggass]

Brian never made the papers or the headlines about being nasty to people, causing trouble, getting locked up etc like many rockers did in the day. He's always kept himself in check. However is very passionate about badgers and isn't afraid to speak his mind about the cull on them.

[@FreeBrunoPowroznik]

@@jaggass Yes, he'll go ape if you harm a badger

[@Huegelmann]

At least he doesn't forget to shake hands and say goodbye. Very hard to stay polite, when you're exhausted and stressed out.

[@297banu]

He's a gentleman.

[@madeleine5992]

If I had been in Brian’s position I don’t think I would have held it together like he did. You can see in his eyes that he’s thinking “ugh this is really wasting my time”

[@jonathanbirch2022]

Having to answer questions with lack of sleep isn’t fun, especially when you’re working a job.

[@clifffor1179]

Brian has dissected Bohemian Rhapsody to death why does the media focus on one song? That's the most gentlemanly walk out ever.

[@karsten9895]

Especially, since they obviously asked him after a concert he just gave (or it was a We Will Rock You musical production) about things that had absolutely nothing to do with it. They tricked him. They should consider themselves lucky that he is such a gentleman. What morons!

[@donhurst8459]

His walkout was very British of him. Most Brits are well mannered not like American A Wipes

[@blindtoby8967]

Why do they focus on bohemian rhapsody ? Maybe they want to know if this the real life or is this just fantasy ...

Poor Brian ..you could see how tired he was his eyes were watering ...bless him People need to understand that they are human beings like the rest of us ...they need their sleep aswell even more because of their situation

[@Lilianmusic1]

Yes Brian was very tired. Also he had already asked them to speak of the show. He sat down again as he is polite. However the interviewer continued to do what Brian had already asked him not to try to disect Bohemian Rhapsody. That was not what he was there for. He just had had enough really. That is why he left. Very polite man, however we all have our limits and some less polite would have said something rather strong to the interviewer.

[@Swaitek]

+Lilianmusic1 He is a proper British gentleman.

[@michelle88960]

True. He isn't the type to be rude and he was polite. If that had been Freddie in the same frame of mind he would probably have knocked the interviewer out and told him to fuck off.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

More like Freddie would have unleashed his epic sass and made them look like idiots. Like he did in 1985 in Brazil during an interview where he had to answer the same questions twice. He just started playing with the interviewer and exposed her for the tool she was with a good dose of humor and teasing. Freddie was hilarious.

[@jayaybe1]

It's tough to remain polite when you're exhausted and have to deal with time wasting amateurs. He did his best though ; )

[@DerChico]

I ve seen the whole "news item"...They wanted to ask Brian why Queen never performed the "opera part" of Bohemian Rhapsody live AND wanted to prove to him it was actually possible to do so...They even went as far as to ask a bunch of students from a rock academy to perform it live, just to prove to Brian it could've been done...that was on that tape that wouldnt play...oh, and they wanted to know where the song was about...yep...I think Brian's reaction was really, incredibly polite...

[@BD12]

You're wasting the time of a rock god FFS, no wonder he got up and left.

[@officergregorystevens5765]

lol a rock god.. rather hear frank zappa than queen.. there are no "rock gods" but that's just my cynicism.. he's more likely old, tired.. maybe bipolar as a lot of musicians tend to be or also they have borderline personality disorder and flip on you like that. he's just another guy who plays guitar.

[@martijnvandenakker803]

Officer Gregory Stevens You talk about old, you talk about Zappa... I think Brian handled this very polite, he didnt "flip", he just was tired. Why is it that when you are one of worlds best guitarplayers that they don's see you as human anymore? And borderline, bepolair...? Who are you, a schrink...? First, borderline and bipolair are the same condition. Second, Isn't that a condition many "officers" suffer from, or was it post-traumatic stress disorder...?

[@D-Man_Jam]

One of the few people kind enough to apologize for other people wasting his time.

[@whistlingstarlight2942]

I've never seen someone abandon an interview so politely

[@velcronieves4745]

Wow, that's the most polite walk-out I've ever seen! Why couldn't the interviewer adjust his interview? It seems to show an awful lack of consideration especially given that Brian had told him how exhausted he was which one can clearly see. Good going, Brian!

[@jimfliptx]

The man is not only a music legend but he's also an astrophysicist. He can bloody well do whatever he likes.

[@bethshadowen904]

Always such a gentleman, even when irritated about the task at hand. He just wanted to rest and give the audience the best show. It's clear he was being very patient...took 2 tries, but had to take care of himself. Good choice, IMHO

[@MyOnlyFarph]

[@patricianoud7096]

They couldn't take a hint, and as kind as he is, he still couldn't insult them. He can't help it, he's just a genuinely nice man. That's why we love and respect him.

[@peterd440]

Considering Queen went out of their way, over and over again, year after year to point out the operatic section of Bohemian Rhapsody was entirely a studio creation which couldn't be performed live and just walked off stage while a tape played it was a stupid question. They never tried to fake it and always admitted it. Some songs like Somebody To Love they were able to create magnificent live versions which are legendary but with BH they could only do part 1 and part 3. They were always honest about it and the interviewer was a dick.

[@eeza]

Exactly! They'd rather stay true to what they have created and the operatic section was created ONLY by the four of them, multi-tracked, so yes for QUEEN, it was impossible to play live but Brian never said others, with more members or even computer help, couldn't recreate it live. However with simply just the 4 of them on stage, it is impossible to "multi-track live". Anyway, for someone pissed off and exhausted, Brian simply handled the situation professionally and very nicely. It isn't even much of a walk-out as just exhibiting tiredness! He even apologized and sat back down!

[@jaggass]

@@eeza I'm glad that Queen have left the operatic section as it is because it's showing one of Freddie's finest pieces of work and an amazing tribute to him.

[@Better_Call_Raul]

Nonsense. That is a cop out. Operatic section could have been done live with Freddie, Roger and Brian. Would it have been the same as the record? NO... But it is far better than playing a damn tape. Give it a shot!

[@zmnim]

Brian May is such a polite guy. It's not easy being polite when you're sleepy and *that* makes him a great man!

[@bloedeter]

I will try to translate it for you guys. This show is from a newsprogram in holland, called Eenvandaag. 0:00 "Ten minutes, that should have been enough to show him this clip and to tell us what Bohemian Rhapsody is about. (like in a lyrical way, the meaning of the song). From him we wanted to know and also what he thinks about the quality of the students of the popacademy. This was his reaction. 0:18 Brian may walks in tired (of the show) and isn't really in the mood. (Brian talks) 0:28 We wanted to know why the full part of Bohemian Rhapsody is so hard to play live. 0:57 So with enough musicians the band should be able to play the full part live (pretty moronic conclusion if you ask me, but ok) We wanted to know what he thinks of the efforts of the students but the tape has a little technical difficulty. 1:38 Though eventually Brian May does sit down. But if we ask a question about Bohemian Rhapsody and not about the tour, he decides to leave. 1:57 Unfortunately, sometimes it goes uphill (no clue really what he means) What I can tell is the complete interview was 3 minutes and 10 seconds and if you want to see it longer you can get tickets for the Geldredome (dutch stadium) on the 10th of july, tickets are still availble.

[@Ratelzwatel]

The "going uphill" means that the interview was like trying to push a cart up a hill.

[@karsten9895]

Thanks for the translation. It's their fault. You don't ask a performer immediatly after a concert for an interview and then bother him with things that have absolutely nothing to do with the concert he just gave. Unprofessional idiots!

[@carolinepalmer5821]

bloedeter Very nice of you 😀👍🏼

[@postpukepeace5412]

So in my opinion unlike a lot of people in the comments saying he’s tired, aged, and doesn’t have the same patience he used to have yes I agree a bit on that, but I mean I’m not 100% sure but I think the most porbable thing going on here is that Brian’s just stating his claim which is that if you want to run an interview don’t ask redundant pointless questions or do things that will pointlessly waste time. He was being practical not cranky

[@SuperZiggyCraft]

You would see other celebrities just storm out without saying anything, but Brian apologises, shakes the man's hand and then leaves after saying sorry many times. Even though he's tired and had enough he's still polite.

[@CraigMansfield]

He just can't be rude, can he? :D

[@TheMichaelseymour]

he walked out twice - double dutch

[@nerktwin]

Interview walk-outs always have an uncomfortable awkwardness to them, because some are unexpected. This, though, is definitely the most polite one I've ever seen. I can't imagine how irritating it must be being asked the same stupid questions for decades. This goes to show that Brian is a class act; though he's exhausted, he remains polite and even apologizes. Good for him.

[@jonathanbirch2022]

It was more because they wanted to show him a tape of some cover bands and the tape stopped working, and then they didn’t have any backup questions lined up. Bit of a disastrous interview

[@Kelly-tj8xv]

Apparently they insisted on showing pieces of video, which he had to sit through, so he felt that if they were going to show video, and not ask him questions, then he was wasting his time.. His manager got him to return, they asked questions, but then the questions stopped because they went to showing video of the band again, so he left.

[@alicefarr3927]

Way to go Bri, and you did it politely for sure. ❤️

[@robert19962010]

i love how he stays polite and acts with class.....brian is a legend :D

[@avocadothewolf4258]

I actually feel bad for Brian, he already said to not talk about something, but they carried on, but at least he did not storm off, he politely explained, and, yes, he was exausted,

[@mickthenick1]

The interviewer had probably put a lot of work into that videotape he wanted to play to Brian. It contained recordings of conservatory students who performed (arrangements of) Queen music, most likely of them doing live vocals to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (hence the question). I can understand the interviewer's curiosity to Brian's comments on that, and he probably knew that these conservatory students were anxious to hear Brian's response too. (I suspect the next question would be: "You just said that it is impossible to perform BR live, but look here at our students doing that".) So here is where the interview went wrong: the interviewer forgot that what may have been totally interesting to *him*, may not be so interesting for *Brian*. The fact that *the interviewer* put a lot of effort in that tape, did not guarantee that *Brian* was prepared to make an unusual effort too. The interviewer 'forgot' to connect with his interviewee. That is the amateurish nature of this interview. It is like some schoolboy wanting to show off his guitar skills to Brian, hoping for a pat on the head. Even if that schoolboy has worked very hard on his 'Smoke on the water' performance, it is unlikely that the best guitarists on this planet will sit it out. Specially if they are bloody tired. I agree with the many who compliment Brian May for showing his irritation and walking out in the politest of ways.

[@Swaitek]

+mickthenick1 I think that apart from that there's one thing more. When an artist is on tour and he goes to interviews he's supposed to be asked about the tour itself, not stupid questions. But some journalists take advantage of the situation and try to make their own show. I've seen a local band doing the Rhapsody's opera part on stage here in Spain and yes, it's possible, but I would never bother Brian about that. Brian made wonderful things in his career, if he doesn't want to play it live, it's his choice and no further questions.

[@Mr_Boifriend]

great summary & explanation! I think you've hit the nail on the head - Brian is not really at fault, the interviewer is only slightly at fault: really, it's just a bad series of events, which Brian handles as professionally as any of us have ever seen.

[@WupWup68]

Thanks for explaining. Hell, I'm Dutch and I understand everything in the video - but I had no clue what this was all about. Brian handled it in the best possible way. You could tell how irritated he was, but he remained a gentleman.

brian may is visiting a pop school. he already was tired when he walked in. then the students asked him why do you never perform the opera part of the bohemian rhapsody. it anoys brian a little. right after the student asks brian to listen to a tape of a choir singing the bohemian rhapsody. he thinks it's pointless and wants to walk out. but finally decides to stay. in the end it turns out the tape doesn't work. brian walks out. i don't blame him, i would've done the same i guess.

That reminds me of the interview with Freddie with the Brasilian Reporter, who asked him the same question over and over again, only in spanish. So I can totally understand Brian for just walking out of the interview. It is really senseless talking to somebody who obviously doesn't listen, and keeps on asking stupid questions. It is Brian high to appreciate that he done it never the less. That shows what a great, and kind Man he is.

He didn't want to watch video clips from previous concerts or music videos that he's seen a million times.

Brian is a gentleman and a great guy. I don't understand dutch but I know for a fact that it takes a lot to make him mad.

I saw Brian losing it quite recently at BBC 3. The interviewer asked him whether the whole badger protection thing was a "middle age crisis". Ha. Of course, it was supposed to be funny.

[@kamwrites]

Huh. Strikes me as insulting, to be honest. Completely dismissive, I'd be angry.

[@TheRedprofessor]

kamwrites I agree.

He puts all his heart in the badger cause , it' s quite a sensitive subject and those who really love animals know very well. This is not a subject to make jokes about
