Roger Taylor and Brian May interview 2009

[Paul8820]

Today's manufactured pop music, Brian says no and Roger says no. You are my heroes. 

[Paul8820]

get on stage and "pretend to play" sounds like many of today's mainstream pop artists.

[petra91216]

I love them :) so glad Rodger likes Elbow!!!

[ivetasmidt]

I am so proud that my father listen to this music even living under the Soviet Union's pressure. And I am so proud that Queen is still popular (maybe in other way), and people still listen to them. Not stupid Bieber

[dilwich123]

Ben Elton is a complete twat.

[HuskyMaxx]

I hope they both are involved in 'Queen Extravaganza'....

Anyone know?

[sk992085]

dumb question : what was your favorite Queen song

[fiesta999xxx]

The guy doing the interview is an idiot!!

[Queeniac21]

Roger was like "Eff it!, the paper is going beside me!" lol!

[BlackorWhite0920]

@v6audiquattro Lol Reverend Shnoor is so 2009. lol Brian would be a perfect judge on the X Factor on a new judge on American Idol and I would love it if he would be the new Simon! :)

[wavesofwoodenlegs]

7:50-8:02 Oh Roger rofl

[mmarriaa1345]

Brian may still rockin the hair<3

[crlaw75]

@mmarriaa1345, he looks a little different with the odd wrinkle. But it comes with age and he still looks good.

[aclockworkbunny]

What does the interviewer ask at 5:30 after, now the obvious flick question..

[sisse93sk]

@aclockworkbunny he is asking which songs they won´t do when they are asked to.

[gupper83]

They both have aged very well:) wonderful to hear them talk so eliquently about there band, music. Queen on!

[v6audiquattro1]

Queen are magic..always and for ever..looking at Brian Mays hair, he could audition for a new Rev Schnoor for the Gerry Springer Show..lol, just kidding

[dermichaell]

brian may just looks the same all the time! ;)

[MrJasonSmarts]

@dermichaell nah hes really aged now :(

Check this video of him

watch?v=_Oi_WZCioo8

[walleralexandra09]

It is a brilliant musical I must say. To accommodate al the songs, the storyline is fairly interesting however if you're a Queen fan who wasn't alive for the live shows they did in the 80s, then this is the next best thing. Hearing Queen songs LIVE, performed by very talented people surrounded by a large crowd of people all singing the words! Not to mention a bit of comedy in it too! LOVE Queen!

[BALGABDZEU6]

my 5 years old little brother is watching this video with me and he can't believe that they two are roger and brian, i like that my brother like queen

sorry for my english

[Axpoet]

"We don't do Delilah any more - you know, the one about Fred's cat..." - classic!

[PunnishTheWeak]

i love what they said about TOTP!!! so true! i had always been told by my dad they couldnt play due to them gearing up to play in scotland somewhere... the rest of it was a shock! but again you cant dissagree with it!

[MsHeidiA]

I love BR...but a musical is taking it a bit far...LOVE Freddie's voice he was born to sing and to think the opera rejected him...that's a bunch of shit if u ask me.

[MsHeidiA]

wtf is this crap? a musical? Oh geez why?

[edmame]

it's ironic they fought each other the most back then, now are the only 2 carrying it on.

[TheClassica87]

@edmame well it seems very fitting in a way, since they were the two who started it all to begin with. :)

[MrPeterMarchant]

brian, roger..you are wrong. you are true genius. end of :) x

[ILoveMusic4ever421]

Of my god.. I was born in 1996, 5 years after Freddie had died, and i love Queen more than anything!!!<3

R.I.P Freddie <3

[ladimarmalade]

@ILoveMusic4ever421 me too ,, and you know? I hate It

[ladimarmalade]

@ILoveMusic4ever421 me too ,, and I hate It

[ILoveMusic4ever421]

@ladimarmalade yes!

[ILoveMusic4ever421]

i love you!

[Cinniflame120]

I don't understand how any one could get bored with bohemian rhapsody!

[MsHeidiA]

@Cinniflame120 An idiot gets bored with BR there's your answer lol.

[Cinniflame120]

@MsHeidiA Totally! Well Queen of course aren't idiots so I could understand if they got bored with playin the same song over and over but I could never be bored with BR so!!!

[irinayugiohfan]

BRIAN IS AWESOME!!!! <3

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

I wonder how Freddie would have looked today if he was alive.

[Guenniistes]

@nostalgiamelancolia1 "he would slap them on their nose and send them to hell, that´s why Joan Deacon simply refuse to take part in this shit!"

[Mindphil78]

Great last sentences :-)

[Paul8820]

I would love to just hang out and "kick it" with Roger and Brian. I would love to record me singing a classic Queen song with them.

[DCHurlford1]

Roger and Brian were both featured on STV News last night (20th Jan) to do with the Glasgow premiere of We Will Rock You. They talked briefly about it and also their fond memories of playing The Green's Playhouse/Glasgow Apollo back in the 70's. Roger ended the conversation by saying "Can the person who pinched my cymbals 35 years ago.....please give them back!!!"

[jemba70]

White trainers AGAIN...

[jugulatorable]

Roger, the older he gets, the hotter he gets

[lemoniceluxe]

Roger looks like a smexy Santa Clause XD

[irinayugiohfan]

@lemoniceluxe xD :D

[fifimsp]

@lemoniceluxe ROFLMAO I'll never be able to unsee that now.

[cocolossal69]

I agree with the comment that Roger has aged in a Sean Connery kind of way ... he's definitely not the beautiful man he was in the 70's, but he's still a sexy f**ker now that he's 60+ and he can leave his boots under my bed any day.

Cheeky sod too :) love it.

[Cathie8791]

The whole band was wonderful. Who could ever get tired of listening to their music? It was the combination of all four guys who made the magic. All such talented human beings yet none of them alone was ever quite as good as all four of them. And yes, Roger Taylor no doubt sounds like Rod Stewart. Bravo to Roger and Brian for keeping the music alive. And here's wishing John much peace in his retirement. As for Freddie, what can you say? The man was a genius and left us much too soon.

[DCHurlford1]

@Cathie8791 Well said that woman!!!

[Oxtankahn]

who wouldn't say that Roger Taylor has a very similar voice to Rod Stweart??

[brajenta]

how can it be that Brian May never gets old?!?!??!?!?!

[AIG96]

1:05 love that smile!

[rockshazza]

Roger and Brian are great musicians; more importantly friendly with a great sense of humour. Queen lives forever in our hearts. The music is timeless and still blows my mind.

[litwardle]

What an awful interviewer! Painful at times!

I have a question boys: How tired do you get of listening to the same old questions asked by people that Haven't done any research?!!!

Really glad that your still doing your thing. You're such a massive inspiration to me and the reason I learned guitar and drums as a kid!!!

Thank you for the video content too. Great.

Lee

[multibirdgirl]

my sister found it hard to believe that brian is two years older than roger when she saw this because it does not look that way

[wavesofwoodenlegs]

Roger, what did Deliah ever do to you lol?

[Ellthom]

Brian hasnt aged much... but Roger my dog he was so baby faced in the 80's :D

[Squeaky1423]

What wonderful, handsome gentlemen of Rock and Roll. Love them both! Just met Brian May at his book signing 2 days ago - *wow*, he is such an intelligent, talented, amazing man. Long live Queen! :-)

[MadMaddy1200]

@Squeaky1423 You're so lucky! :D

[dondongo86]

8:34 What band name is roger saying? I can't understand it.

[sisse93sk]

@dondongo86 it´s a band called Elbow :)

[i742]

Brian May doesn't change through the years, amazing.

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

Thank you Brian and Roger for giving an oportunity to new teen queen fans that didnt got the chance to see Queen live, I know it is not the same but when I saw We Will Rock You I felt so happy, I cryed a little, XD Thank you guys, I love you!

[rhapsodier78]

@TheJumpyPopcorn Amen!! :')

[911ledzeppelin]

it's been very sad to see them now.............

[fc7alibi]

Geniuses.

[4FabBEATLES]

amazing band full of unique and great musicians

[ericclaptonismygod31]

Interesting to see how well Brian has aged compared to Roger.

[Kezzabou]

@ericclaptonismygod31 - Roger has aged in the Sean Connery mode. We all age differently, y'know, and to me, he's still fabulously sex-ay after 30+ years of fandom.

[thundermorphine]

Does anybody know what band Roger Taylor is talking about at the end?

[sisse93sk]

@thundermorphine hi. it´s an english band called elbow.

[thundermorphine]

@sisse93sk

Thank you :)

[Yo1969Yo]

You guys are geniuses. Now if Roger only knew that my 13 year old daughter and her classmates are crazy about him. Several girls have Roger's picture on their cell phones.

[tjbedista]

@Yo1969Yo That's really nice I have a huge crush on Roger too! (but john is my fave). Roger Taylor is definitely hotter and cuter than Edward Cullen! LOL!

[arild97]

lol Brian May is older then roger taylor

[lhart99]

God, I'd do anything to meet these two for one day! :-)

[twotoneify]

they age very well

[ilovegeorgeharrison4]

i love brians hair, it really suits him

[pjusiii]

Roger Taylor is a fantastic man!

[HorseMan50]

HAHA I loved the ending.

[HorseMan50]

What did they say at 5:27?

[HarryPotter15b]

OMG, Roger you're getting OLD!

But I still LOVE you <33

[elvampiroesponja]

My superheroes!!!!!!!!!

[daniellemr85]

Queen agrees....today's "manufactured pop" is CRAP!

LONG LIVE QUEEN!!!!

[QueenRogerTaylor]

I'm french and my english is not so good... I would like to have a translation of some videos because queen's videos are great and it would be far better to underastand all the dialogues. If you know how i could find it, please tell me. Sorry for the mistakes... RIP Freddie

[Mandynna]

@QueenRogerTaylor Je peux te traduire quelques vidéos, mais je te garantis pas du grand art ^^

[4FabBEATLES]

@QueenRogerTaylor on youtube on some videos you can click to get captions in various languages

[QueenRogerTaylor]

@4FabBEATLES Yes thanks. I know that .But unfortunatly, there's not a translation on all the videos. But a young french student helped me to translate this video and i improve in english !!!

[watchpotch]

Inside jacket pockets. Like Mars bars and Wagon Wheels, they'er not as big as they used to be.

[sonsul]

Brian May is as important as Freddy Mercury at least for me, an incredible guitarist and a great composer

[nowheresland]

@sonsul and obviously very nice person!

[tokaicarl]

@sonsul yeah too fuckin right

[evamor44]

awesome post!

[lily0313]

two of my favorite people ever. they are so adorable haha

[CPrincessC]

The guys are Amazing.

[billiejeangirl123]

Brian's hair is still the same 80's style haha. I just have to go to that musical, but is it just in america or britain?

[AECEntertainment]

it started in britain

[alexbsrammstein19]

@billiejeangirl123 80's??? since 70's it likes that.

[billiejeangirl123]

haha yeah I know I just always think of the 80s when I see his hair xD

[thuiils]

Queen E where are Queens knighthoods, they changed rock and roll now they have made a mighty mark on musical theater

[andy38]

This is actually a really great interview.

[tsopuaifa]

Like an old couple. :D

[paddy9i99]

An old couple, so true.

[wavesofwoodenlegs]

I love how in this interview, Roger dresses very snazzy and Brian's like uhhh whatever with his outfit.

[CPrincessC]

Perhaps cause Roger and "My Freddie" had a clothing store where they sold old clothes and Freddie's art work.

[LoveFrusciante]

@wavesofwoodenlegs Oh roggie was always the fashionable one...vain but oh so sexy still at this age:) gotta love brians relaxed style tho. he is amazing. love them both!!!

[sugarbabe37]

lookin gd 4 ur age brian!

roger... u 2!

[VengaboysRbackINtown]

Don't like maufactured pop? This from the guys who once teamed up with boyband "Five"? Pfft, sellouts. ;-)

[ev0ra5]

yeah, they still look good...i wonder how john looks like now, even freddie if he's still alive...is this musical in America already?

[ev0ra5]

OMG they still sound the same but look different, while im typing this i can't see the video, in my mind im picturing them talking not very different from when they were younger...

[sitkatop]

Brian looks very good, but hes gotten older, believe me....

[ziderazzi]

Brian May must have found the fountain of youth or something...he still looks exactly the same as three decades ago lol

[MrBlasiluc]

Queen the best band of all time!!!!!!!

[VmanSomeLongNumber]

He doesn't want to change his hair does he?

[speedlewolfe]

it makes me so sad to see Roger like this! I wish life would rewind back to the days of Queen and Freddie Mercury!

[ryhorn100]

Don't we all age? But it sure hasn't affected his ability to be one of the world's greatest musicians. I think it just gives him more experience.

[leadguitar52]

Can you believe that Brian May is 62? He looks like he is in his late 40's at least.

[stravinsky99]

Yes!!! Gorgeous!!!!

[Killa3964]

he still looks like 40 years old or something. He's look as young as 1986 Wembley show...

[fifimsp]

@leadguitar52 Roger on the other hand....

[mae1958]

Yes they were and are geniuses! All 4 members of Queen. It had to have been fate or karma, something more than dumb luck for the 4 of them to have gotten together. Same goes for the Beatles.

[vondy4life]

when were waz this interview

[einsteinwithagun]

I saw 'We Will Rock You' last summer and it was totally amazing! Insane, but te good kind of insane, lols.

[TheJester1962]

Roger Meddows-Taylor ( a sly anagram for great words or melody) impersonates an eminent Russian novelist while Brian May seems to hover between Sir Isaac Newton and Louis XIV. Great guys!

[DarkRw1995]

I so want to see We Will Rock You! I've loved Queen my whole life...

[Robin360]

"Old people like us...", Brian what are you talking about!? Brian and Roger can outrock ANY teenager or 20something band out there today!

"Old people..." NONSENSE!

[shaneinkster]

dumb ass

[Robin360]

WTF?

Why am I a dumbass? What did I write that could remotely imply that I'm a dumbass?

It seems the only dumb ass around here is you!

[shaneinkster]

say you know what May is talking about.....im not dumb im smart

[Robin360]

Hang on, you're not even making sense!

I was saying that Brian said "old people like us" and I was implying that I don't think he's old.

THEN, I went about saying that they could out rock any 20something bands out there today. It's called a compliment. I'm saying that no matter how old Brian and Roger are, they can still kick ass when they're out on stage jamming to Queen hits!

I would NEVER insult those guys!

[2blueyez1]

Brian and Roger are aging gracefully! Sadly, Freddie is forever young....

[Awsumsongs912]

I woulden't say that gracefully, Roger looks pretty differnt

[ex59neo53]

Those 2 guys are what i call legends !

Not stars , just human legends .

Hard to stay human when u are known all other the world ... and they are !

[chicomalulo]

Hope the Musical comes to CHile nextly.

[Queenstation]

They are both my idols!

Rock one Queen fans!

[ben5leto]

[ben5leto]

brian and rodger have been working together way before Queen started. look at them they are still working together. that's awsome.

[PasadenaPadme]

Excuse Me Brian Is 62 In That Video Duh!!!!

[sisse93sk]

He´s 61. He´s turning 62 July 19

[Bozhya]

Where's John Deacon???

[gindalf0492]

he's retired mate

[Canaveral305]

I find amazing how Brian actually looks like he's 40 years old. o_o

[cucaboy]

I think we all should dye our hairs :D

[Crisstti]

What do they say about Delilah?.

[sisse93sk]

Roger is saying that they don´t do Delilah. they don´t wanna play it live.

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

lol at roger getting on his high horse then not being able to fit the piece of paper in his pocket!

rock on guys!

[Sam56queen]

Aww, poor Freddie loved his cat so much <3

[Sam56queen]

pshh old people?

They look great!

[Sean2112bd]

I totally agree 7:49

[Ramshackled17]

[Megadave4life]

[slept4]

[jessa121890]

QUEEN! THESE BOYS ARE AWESOME...totally miss John though...and don't even get me started on how much I miss Freddie!! Ahh...QUEEN ROCKS.

Long Live ~QUEEN~

-Jessica F.

[Queenofananas]

Brian is the sweetest rockstar ever. So humble... Nice to see Roger also.

[musicsnobtobe]

'Brian is the sweetest rockstar ever. So humble'. You're so right, but I love how you don't say the same thing about Roger.

Ah well, gotta love them both.

[Queenofananas]

Don't worry! Rog' is a brilliant guy too. It's just because I LOVE Brian so. His sensitivity, his kindness, .. =)

[commandercody1992]

old??????? Im sorry but for their age they are still looking young...

age does not matter...they are still cool like they are used to be and their music rocks!!!!!

QUEEN 4 EVER

[alinahoney0809]

You're so right! I love you for that answer! ;)

[commandercody1992]

ye i just expressed my favorite music...im just a big fan and im looking for other queen fans to discuss about their music and other things... wanna be friends??

[rhcp1lovethemgreat]

Well he IS getting older, but everone does, so don't worry :)

[TheDumbening]

Wow, it's amazing how old they look compared to just about 10-15 years ago.

They're still the best old geezer's I've seen. Rock on Brian and Roger!

[DanQueen2008]

7:13 Great!

[sunnydrummer182]

troppo forte roger cn la lettera!!

[rogertaylorNr1]

funny.. roger didnt get the letter back in the jacket

[annasumner]

They are perfect!

I'm so happy to see them like this! very well, together, working so much! I really love "The cosmos Rock" and WWRY is brilliant. Last year they come to Brazil, my country, and it was great, amazing!

Long life to Rog(always sexy Rog) and Brian(always cute).

:*
