BM solo re-releases: "We're working on a plan"

[WeeMann]

The only reasons people don't usually do it is that fully electric guitars sound better and acoustics tend to start feeding back quite easily.

[Kes]

Add to that, go back to the forties and fifties, early uses of electric guitars would sound quite thin, mainly because they didn't crank them up very high, to overdrive them, feedback, and get distortion

If they do a "Best Of Brian May" I'll go for that but not his full albums. Just like with Roger lots of misses but enough keepers for one good album.

Full box set? No thanks, just a compilation of already released material, that'll be fine. Here's my money....

I don't share this view....

[Kes]

Roger's set wasn't full of demos, was it?

Indeed not. It was at least (more or less) complete compilation though.

No, but it did collect together a lot of stuff that was otherwise very hard, if not impossible (*cough* "Heartland") to get beforehand.

Made a fantasy one of those around 2014, with record label politics thrown out the window so various collaborations could feature. I'd rather a box-set than a lesser version of something I made myself for nowt.

Of course, Brian's released a studio album and several singles since then, so it needs a refresher. And legally this would probably be a nightmare!

Still, Phil Collins released a collaborations album, so maybe Brian could do something similar?

04. Yoü And I - Lady Gaga featuring Brian May

It'd be nice to get the version of that with the supposedly originally much longer guitar solo.
