BRAND NEW AND SEALED
There's no ghost writer for this book. Its just me. - Brian May
With
these words, the author announces the first book ever to be published
about the legendary rock band Queen by a member of the band. And
certainly the first book of its kind in the world. Its a unique
collection of original, highly personal snapshots of Queen in Three
Dimensions, from the bands inception in the early '70s right up to the
present day, accompanied by the exclusive recollections of founding
member and lead guitarist, Brian May.
Brian's
typically honest account of his experiences within and without the band,
including many extreme highs and lows, bravely opens the door to his
feelings, beliefs and motivations on this trip though an extraordinary
life. This book will entrance millions of Queen fans; but it will also
inspire anyone who wonders what they might learn from a man who used his
intellect, musical talent, and ability to make the transition from
college boy to rock star in just a few years, and then go on building
creatively for the next forty!
The book is
illustrated with over 300 photographs, the majority actually taken by
Brian, and mostly in 3-D. These shots of Freddie Mercury, John Deacon,
Roger Taylor, and Brian himself, on and off stage all round the world,
spring into life when viewed with Brian's patent OWL viewer (supplied
free with the book). Through the eyes of Brians camera you are
transported back in time to experience Queen's miraculous 46-year
journey as if you were actually there whether in a dressing room, in a
car, on a plane, or on stage at Madison Square Garden. The three
dimensional stereoscopic images (the precursor of Virtual Reality)
immerse and engage you in the atmosphere of the moment as no flat 2-D
picture ever could.
