Oh Brian, what an incredibly interesting life you created for yourself. Thoroughly deserved the amount of work you've done, and still doing. All round amazing, renaissance man. ❤
Its amazing, to grow up hearing Brian's music in the 70'and onward and while you come to love the band, they're all so very far away and removed from the adoration. For all its pitfalls, the internet has allowed fans the opportunity to get these close up chats and that let us re-appreciate the people who made the magic, all over again.
Thank you,Sir. I love to listen to your amazing stories...have you ever thought of an audio book? I could listen to your beautiful voice all day!!❤
I was at the studio soon after Brian completed this project. They were recording The Works and so I heard about it before almost anyone. He was very excited to share I wore this album out and now enjoying this fabulous remix! 🙌🏻😎

Brian may i want to tell you that for me you are the Best guitarist and the best in the World I am your super fan and I admire you and congratulate your from the bottom of my hert that you are a gentleman
I still remember the day, over 35 years ago, when I spotted Starfleet in my local Record shop. You couldn’t find it anywhere and there it was for £2.99 in the bargain bucket. It’s a fantastic “mini-album” as I seem to remember Brian describing it in the sleeve notes. 3 excellent songs with amazing playing on each and they still sound great today. Delighted this is now getting some attention.

Similar story here. Just happened to look at the shelf behind the checkout and I saw it on the shelf. Couldn't even be sure it said Brian May on it. I walked by a couple of times trying to get a better look as it was crowded and finally just asked the clerk if I could take a look at it. Once it got in my hands it never left. I was completely unaware he had even released anything. I remember being disappointed looking at the track listing and seeing it was only a mini LP, but once it hit my record player, that disappointment vanished.
The whole world is waiting on this !!!!!
BRIAN MAY UN GENIO❤❤❤👑🇦🇷🇦🇷
I like the way he always calls EVH Edwarnd. The Star Fleet Project is one of the songs I listen to when working out. Great track for getting you going.
Brian, you are an awesome story teller.
Beautiful Legend 🥰❤️
Got the original vinyl . What a loss not have EVH around. He’s amazing as ever.
My two favourite guitarists on one album. It doesn’t get better than that! Pre-ordered, can’t wait for the full release.

Hey Brian. I bought this album from Peaches Record Store in Jackson MS way back when it first came out. I had never heard of it. Spotting the sleeve: Brian May and Friends, featuring Edie Van Halen I knew it was gonna be a good one. Little did I know that those three songs displayed some of you and Eddie's best ever riffs. Still listening after all the years. An impromptu masterpiece of rock n roll. You, Eddie and the band made magic that day. Thanks for sharing this brilliant work.
As I kid I would watch the series every week in the re-runs on Dutch tv. I later found out that the theme was by Brian. I can still sometimes enjoy watching an episode. We all stay kids internally somewhere.

I listened to this EP hundreds of times and still love it. I learned lots of blues licks from you two legends.
I used to watch the cartoon and was so confused when I found my brothers tape copy, with Brain May doing Starfleet. Had a Bowie, Madonna mix, bit of Rocky 4 too.
Bought this on cassette as soon as I saw it. I thought I read somewhere that EVH was a little miffed as he didn't know this was going to become a release. The fun in the studio does come across in the music. Thanks Bri.

Great info on how this came about. I've got the first run & have ordered the upcoming re-release. This background story is very cool!
In my fantasy record collection I have over 30 complete soundtracks to different TV shows and movies all by Queen, with some solo stuff thrown in too, depending on what current trend grabs my interest. Ahh, if only .....

Im old enough rember seeing this in stores. Thinking. Queen is over after hot space? Pity... Glad I was wrong.

Here I am listening to such a story of this curly knight and I think: how is it still not fair that the members of the Queen created so few soundtracks. I mean for films ("Highlander" does not count), for animated series, for computer games, finally. Because there is us, there is the past generation, and there is the current generation. Many of them know Freddie, but not everyone knows that Brian, John and Roger have always been around. So I think everyone wants more Brian and Roger right now. In any form! -_0
Brian you're god🎸
So it's like I always thought your saw the Japanese Starfleet/ Xbomber show in TV, and made a song! I love that song, sadly in Italy the song for the show was not comparable to yours, uncle Bri. Yours is way better 🥰

In my opinion, it is a great pity that such talented musicians as Brian, Roger and John have left the band. Even under a different name - without someone trying to replace Freddie. After all, Brian sings well, Roger also has a very good, though underestimated, voice...
I found this record at a charity shop, I think I paid £5 for it, I was over the moon.
