So from this I take it was a far from an amicable split from them?
Brians soapbox today:-
And today he would have been 100 years old. But in this video he was younger than I am today. Thanks for fishing out this little fragment, dear Dereones, scraps from a longer interview which sadly is in the possession of someone who is reluctant to part with it, so I can’t see it. But this is enough to remind me so clearly of the way my Dad spoke - a sound from a world that is no more, and his body language, and his pride in what we’d made together, even though it led me to abandon his dreams for what I might become. Maybe I should write a book about my Dad - because his gifts to me were many and everlasting.
Happy Birthday Dad. I love you.
Bri

Ha Ha! Klassic Karma.
I have absolutely no sympathy for Brian ... given the abundance of empty "promises" for archival music.
It would be "The Miracle" if any archival material (other than QAL) will be released in the near future.
I would be surprised if QPL paid for the video scraps that never made it into the finished DoRo product.

The karma thing is fair up to a point.
But this is footage of the man's father. Yes, I'd be critical of the circumstances (contractual) that got him to this point, but we'll probably all end up without parents, so how about a little empathy too...

"Karma"? Have a word with yourselves.  Assume it's a contractual thing between QPL and DoRo, and as Rudi (or Hannes?) has long since dug his heels in, there's no way to access it. But this is Brian having a moment remembering his late father. He'd like to see the full interview, in the same way I wish there were more photos, or even footage of my late dad. Not the end of the world for him, maybe, but barely comparable to us lot getting a Queen anthology box set. Seriously. Talk about entitled. |

Wow, to compare being a fan and not having the vault opened up to a man who is being denied some of the last remaining footage of his father and actively cheering it as karmic retribution is utterly disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I’m just gonna copy and paste your replies here for posterity so you can be reminded of how shameful you are:

You should be ashamed of yourselves. applauds all three posts ^. people need to shake some sense into themselves - seriously starting to think that successive Lockdowns have addled a few brains. ridiculous ramblings of karma. utterly crass. there's a very reachable mid-ground here: Doro can pass the whole vid to Brian on the undertaking that he agrees that it's for his private eyes only, and that any public airing (YT, social media or otherwise) of it goes through them first. win/win. 'cept it isn't, is it? because Doro may be thinking (in their paranoia) that Brian could later decide that he wants to use it as part of some official Red Special "Special", who knows? if they're thinking this, then it's easy to understand their reluctance - unforgivable as it may be. |

This is another of those things where the story is buried somewhere. Did QPL shaft DoRo financially? Renege on a deal? Make a bad deal like seems to be the case with Saul Swimmer? On the surface it seems heartless for DoRo to withhold footage that won't generate any real $ for Brian, but who knows, maybe Brian had a big say in pushing them out of the queen orbit and it's not forgotten.

What was Do and/or Ro’s final Queen-related project? I know they filmed No One But You, and didn’t they do Brian’s Albert Hall show? Also weren’t they involved in Q+PR on their 2005 European tour? |

Some of these replies just make me sad.
I mean we all want some new Queen shows of course, why else would we be on this forum? But there's a big difference between a rock concert and some of the last footage of someone's father.

The fact that people are just calling this "karma" or whatever is fucking disgusting. This is footage of the man's late father for God's sakes. That doesn't mean there's potential for a bad deal behind the scenes, but show some bloody respect.
Jesus, the entitlement of you people is thick enough to cut through. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

You should be completely ashamed of yourself for saying this. He is remembering his own late father and you are more worried about releases. Fucking disgusting. |

Well, I don´t mind really. I mean...Next month, the first Wednesday at 8:00 AM i won´t remember this and won´t ruin me the day either...
I´ve got a life outside the internet world, which means a lot more than an opinion about me in a forum...Even in a good one like this.

I'm a bit new to this story. It certainly sounds out of order that Doro are withholding personal footage of Brian's father. Can they legally do this? Why isn't Brian taking legal action?

In my family, it´s happening the same. I´ve got some members of my family long gone and exist footage and recording from them in possesion of other members of my family which we don´t have relationship for years and...It´s ok...
More or less the same case...There is some home video recording of weddings and similar stuff from my family that i won´t get (if it exists now, which i don´t know for sure) and that thing doesn´t ruin my life...
The point is: Sometimes we have to accept that things won´t be as we want.
I suppose Brian is used to get everything due his status (I Want ir all and i want it now...)
Well, here you are a punch of reality. Sometimes life doesn´t happen as we want. You have to accept it.

As far as I understood the problem, the footage isn't in hand of another family member tho. It's basically in the hand of a "stranger". I wouldn't want a non-family member (does that word even exist?) to have and keep to themselves one of the last footage of my late father. I don't know what the motives are, but I'm sure they aren't really comprehensible. |

But it could be wrong. well perhaps you should clarify exactly what other possible meaning could ever be attached by any rational-thinking, intelligent being to the sentence: "Well played DORO...Well played..."the fact that you shifted your argument to "not always getting what we want" shows you know what you said was shameful...deflection rather than acceptance. |

Let's remember we don't know any of the details, it could be that Brian has seen the full interview in the past, but hasn't been allowed to own it, or was offered it with other Queen related footage but didn't want to Queen stuff....
Although that said I have spent a few days trying to think of reasons other than Rudi / Hannes using it as a bargaining chip and I really can't. If it's as clear cut as it appears it's pretty shitty.
