Brian Ray Archived
-
Sorry I missed the conversation earlier... Y'all have come up with some great ideas for questions. I love the question regarding the special meaning behind his ring. Great idea!
-
Oh wow, I am crazy about Brian as well. I understand how you all feel, whenever I start talking about Brian, my friends just switch off - he's just some unknown guitarist bloke, but I think he's wonderful! I tried going to that chat thing, but it didn't work for ages, then when it did, I don't think anyone was there or perhaps they were, but something went wrong... Anyway, I can't believe there's going to be a live web chat. I really hope I get it working properly before then, I just have sooo many question to ask him. But I'll probably get all shy and not ask anything ops: I could not find any info about Brian on the web, so I really dig this thread!

Welcome to our little Brian fan club!! He's great, isn't he? I wonder if he knows how popular he is. You were probably in the chat room on your own, that happened to me the first time I went in there and I though I was doing something wrong too. It's really straightforward once you get the hang of it.

Thanks, Fiona365099 - Brian really is amazing. I'm going to keep going back to the chat thing and I'm hopefully I'll have it all worked out by the time Brian's on there. I see you're from Ireland - were you at the Dublin gig? I was there too - really near the front, way over on Rusty's side (I know he's not Brian, but he'll do ) Great gig!
-
Yes I was there!! It was fantastic. I was near the front too, 2nd row between Rusty and Paul. I love Rusty too so I was quite happy to be on his side of the stage. God, I'm getting butterflies just thinking about it. Imagine, I was that close to Paul, Brian and Rusty!!! We can meet in the chat room some evening if you want to practice.

OH! Darling:

Hi! Yeah, I've been wondering about the ring since Beatlesrock mentioned it. I hadn't though of it before then, strange considering I look for it every time I see a pic of Brian.

It was amazing, wasn't it? I saw some photos taken from just behind where I was and I still cannot believe that I was that close to Paul, Brian and Rusty. I remember at the very end, Rusty and Brian swapped sides briefly to take some bows, and I very nearly passed out when Brian came over to our side of the stage! It would be great to meet in the chat room, I really want to get this working before Brian does the webchat as I would hate to miss out on an oppurtunity like that! Btw, what is the ring that everyone talks about? I think I've missed something!

He wears a ring on the middle finger of his right hand, it has some sort of black stone and it's quite large. You can see it quite clearly on the BITW DVD. Have a look out for it, you can't miss it!! I've never seen a photo of him without it. He also wears the same leather thingy around his neck and I've never seen him without that either.
-
welcome miss mccartney. we'll all have to have another go at a chat some time. It must be done slightly different for a special guest. It was quite frantic with just three of us. Imagine what it would be like with loads of people asking question. It must be really controlled. Perhaps you have to submit your question before hand?????

beatlesrock:

That's a good point. Poor Brian wouldn't be able to make any sense of things with everybody firing questions at him all at once.
-
Oh no, you're making it seem really complicated!! I will have to join you for another practice chat, as I am not very technilogically minded at the best of times, let alone if I knew that Brian would be sitting waiting to answer questions!! I am so glad that other people feel the same about Brian as I do - I thought I was alone (but how could you not-he's lovely!) Btw, I saw the ring, and you're right, it is in every picture I have of him - it must be pretty special to him.
-
I'm probably just panicing here. I tried to get into the chat room a few times today, just curious to see if it was used much, and it kept saying "a connection failure has occured". I hope this isn't a regular problem!! Can you imagine this happening the night of the webchat????? Has anybody else tried to get in since? I don't think it's a problem with my computer because I tried it at work and had the same problem.

ditto. I just tried to get in too and couldn't. It made me panic aswell. Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!! If that happens on THE DAY, I'll have some kind of break down. I 'Asked Jorie' about it on her site earlier (and got off to a flying start by typing 'Brain' into the topic box. I've changed it now, but it doesn't bode well!!!!!!). I don't know if she'll reply.
-
OK. I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or not. At least it's nothing I'm doing wrong. If we don't get to chat to "Brain" we'll just have to check into some nuthouse together. There has to be some kind of treatment for what we've got!!

LOL!!! We'll have to give our condition a name: Brian on the Brain!!

BTW, I've added to your post on Jorie's board so hopefully she'll get back to us soon.

Great. I wonder what 'Brian Ray will be available to chat in our Internet chat room very soon' means. A week? A month? Can't plan anything for half term until I know!!
-
I'm going on a weekend away at the end of February with some friends and I'm already worrying that it will be that weekend, and knowing my luck with these things it will!
-
that would be bad luck!
-
I tried to go back in again. I'm getting into something or other, at the top left hand corner of the chat box thingy it says Macca Chat, new studio album or something like that. Is this where I should be?
