Are you planning a new Album? ROGER: When touring at USA, we went to a studio in Nashville and started to work on a new album, with Adam on vocals. But we still have a lot of work to do. link What do you guys think about it? |
Day dop 18.10.2017 00:58 |
If true, and Lambert's doing vocals, that'd be a pass from me. I can't stand his voice. |
matt z 18.10.2017 01:19 |
Well....cats out of the bag now. Funny how they picked a photo of Roger hiding his chin. Thanks for the share. Not looking forward to it without John, but i wish them the best. It COULD be good. Look for the 2lp (one with commentary one without) 2cd, +DVD DELUXE EDITION ($145) featuring a soundcheck of Adam singing Silver Salmon on 7"vinyl |
Makka 18.10.2017 01:22 |
I guess it's all going to come down to the songs. I didn't really enjoy most of the songs on Cosmos Rocks at all. Meh, we'll see what they turn out I guess. |
Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira 18.10.2017 01:45 |
I really hope this is true! It could be the start of a whole new chapter in their history. Hopefully, they could return to be a regularly recording artist. One can dream, right?! ;) Cheers, Ogre- |
freddies bell end 18.10.2017 01:56 |
I would like to have a Double CD of Greatest His I & II with Adam Lambert recording new vocals. I think it would be awesome to hear his studio technique in singing all the hits. Hello???? Queen Productions??? ARE YOU LISTENING??? This potential release would be much better than those stupid box sets with songs we have not heard. After that, they could start with Queen I all the way to Made in Heaven and record all the vocals with Adam on top. I'd like to hear Adam on every Queen song the same way Sharon Osbourne removed Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley from Blizzard and Diary. JIM BEACH!!! Where are you??? |
GrowUpGlamberts 18.10.2017 02:21 |
Are you sure it's not music featuring Brian and Roger for Adam's studio album? He's been hinting new material for a while - even before the summer tour. |
matt z 18.10.2017 04:02 |
^ check the translations. Maybe it IS a possessive pronoun error |
soxtalon 18.10.2017 05:00 |
hvg.hu: There is a big difference between Adam and you. RT: We're twice old. But Adam is already in his thirties, he is a mature personality, and he now belongs to us. hvg.hu: Are you planning a new album? RT: During our US tour, we went to studio in Nashville, so we started working on a new album on which Adam will sing. But we still have a lot of work on the material. That's the google translate I got. If it was Adam's material why would he say "on which Adam will sing" - No reason to clarify unless it's NOT Adam's material. Still sounds weird. |
user1 18.10.2017 07:12 |
Wrong title. Should be "New album from Queen+?", the silly Queen cover band. Big difference to the legendary band Queen. |
matt z 18.10.2017 08:16 |
To the nay Sayers above .....haven't you learned your lesson yet? JOHN DEACON AND THE IMMORTALS didn't feature ANY OF THE OTHER BAND MEMBERS .....and yet it was FREAKING FANTASTIC! same with that man jive and junior Friday err whatever although it probably shouldn't be listed as QUEEN (*this validating a cryptic post from an inside source last week or two ago about incorporation) the project COULD have some credible work Just look what Brian did with SIZEL *(however you spell that) i thought that was a glorious song. (Same with the Stevie Tunes ) I'm not knocking something that's not there. Wish them well |
MrFunster 18.10.2017 08:43 |
Please no Queen Glambert album |
MrFunster 18.10.2017 08:46 |
I say more Freddie Mercury during the live shows Paul Rodgers could not sing each song perfectly especially the high notes,, but his voice was warmer than glambert. I have tickets for Queen. just to see and hear Brian and Roger. |
Invisible Woman 18.10.2017 09:18 |
I wouldn't like they to record the songs that Freddie sang.New material maybe. |
e-man 18.10.2017 09:49 |

Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira 18.10.2017 09:56 |
If true, it would be new music. Paraphrasing one of Roger's recent interviews, he said that they could record new material if they could come up with good enough tune(s). As far as I remember, he said "we could", most probably referring to himself and Brian. Cheers, Ogre- |
Togg 18.10.2017 09:58 |
Looking forward to hearing it, any chance to hear Brian and Roger playing and writing is a wonderful thing as far as I'm concerned, very happy about Adam singing on it, he's jelled well with them and 'gets it' He has a powerful full range and does the Queen tracks perfect justice Long over due IMO |
dudeofqueen 18.10.2017 10:13 |
"Can't wait" for more of this genius lyricism: "Surf is up School is out I got a criminal urge to Twist and shout" "We rock down the road and down to the town And all the people stare and smile and get down Then the police man is saying "stop this noise" But the beat takes over now he is one of the boys The beat's taken over now he is one of the boys" |
Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira 18.10.2017 10:31 |
It could be worse, Dudeofqueen. They could come up with "meow, Delilah, meow, meow", following the good old Queen tradition. :) Cheers, Ogre- |
Golden Salmon 18.10.2017 10:35 |
As much as I'm a fan of both Queen and solo projects, I really disliked The Cosmos Rocks and anything featuring a different singer will turn me off big time as well. It's the reason why I've refused to go to any gig from their latest tours.
Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira wrote: It could be worse, Dudeofqueen. They could come up with "meow, Delilah, meow, meow", following the good old Queen tradition. :) Cheers, Ogre-It's almost painful to say this, but I'd rather have Delilah style songs or a Hot Space tier album over a different singer. |
Cruella de Vil 18.10.2017 10:37 |
dudeofqueen was commenting on "Surf is up , School is out , I got a criminal urge to, Twist and shout" ...can't any one write a rock song about having fun anymore? Why does everything have to be serious or deep?? Let's face it, it is their choice who with and when they record. As Roger once said."I hope that you like it, if not sod you". Like it buy it, if you don't (quoting Freddie now) Fucking go home. It's a free world. |
The Fairy King 18.10.2017 11:12 |

Vali 18.10.2017 11:46 |
If they're doing it, welcome then! that means new music written by Brian and Roger, which is the one thing I wish they'd never stop doing. If it turns out being a mediocre, acceptable or brilliant effort, well we'll see, but I always welcome and listen to with interest any new piece of music they create. |
Vocal harmony 18.10.2017 13:47 |
If it is a new album, let's wait until we've heard something before we pass judgment. They've hinted at it being something they've spoken about if not a definite idea for a while. If they are recording they certainly haven't rushed into it. |
RS_Protos 18.10.2017 14:00 |
Just horrible.............Please don't, please I hope this is just false rumors................ Just record solo albums or BM/RT collab, this is not Queen |
thomasquinn 32989 18.10.2017 15:53 |
I'm not *very* interested personally, but it'd be good if they were to get into making NEW music again, instead of just replaying old material. I mean, the Brian and Roger of today can't play with the energy and intensity of 40-years-ago Brian and Roger, so by definition the renditions of old songs suffer from that. But, their skills in composition are far more developed and matured than they were at that time. I'm willing to keep an open mind, just so long as this won't turn into an Adam Lambert-album featuring some contributions from Brian and Roger on otherwise AL-songs. |
dudeofqueen 18.10.2017 16:14 |
thomasquinn 32989, re: >but it'd be good if they were to get into making NEW music again, They did that before. "The Cosmos Rocks" was a whole album of new material that Brian decided he couldn't bear to play live........ It frustrated Paul who decided he was flogging a dead horse and opted out and good on him for doing so. Glambert doesn't have the minerals to do that and, as a result, will pretty much do what he's told. The whole concept of an album featuring him just brings that nasty sick taste........ Wait until we've heard it before judging? Good luck spending heard-earned on it....... |
badboybez 18.10.2017 16:32 |

dysan 18.10.2017 16:57 |
I'm kind of interested in this. None of that already dated digital reverb. With his vocals and the set list choices we've had it might even be a glam classic. Long shot I know. That 2fux song had something about it that that I kinda liked. |
MercurialFreddie 18.10.2017 18:45 |
Well, new material is always nice to hear... But it won't be Queen, during the golden days, each of the musicians brought something to the table even if it wasn't a complete song but an idea for something that someone else is creating. Brian and Roger have excellent composing skills but whatever they release under the "Queen+" name will always be compared to original Queen album. I wish them well but The Cosmos Rocks (whole album) for me was worse than LMIYHA. It had only one really catchy song "Say It's not true" but that's it. |

Pim Derks 18.10.2017 19:43 |

okay, now that we know this I remembered there was news about Queen discarding the Queen+ thing. So they wanted Adam to be a full member of Queen?? Does this new album make any sense to that? |
RS_Protos 18.10.2017 20:31 |
"It would fine if they didn’t release it as ‘Queen’, but Brian can’t bring himself not to. " Totally agree. s I hate to say it but 2 members don't make it Queen especially when coming to new recordings |
Rich Tea 18.10.2017 21:06 |
Looking at the sell out shows the responses to the American tour and the crowd reactions at the shows it looks like the anti lobby are pretty much in the minority. Although a noisey bunch ha ha. Its not Queen without Freddie blah blah, its not AC/DC without Bon Scott, its not Pink Floyd with out Roger Waters, its not The Damned without Rat Scabies or its not Led Zeppelin without Bonzo fans have been having these arguments for decades. The fact is if QUEEN release an album of new songs with Adam singing it will probably do a lot better than (the grossly underrated) Cosmos Rocks and be a big seller for the band. I am with the majority and say Bring It On..............and if your in the minority just ignore it there is no need to get annoyed about it :-) |
freddies bell end 18.10.2017 23:03 |
Adam Lambert rules. He was the reason I watched American Idol. He made it interesting and entertaining with his virtuous persona. I myself thought he'd be perfect for Queen. I wrote a letter to QP telling them so. Apparently other people around the world were thinking the same thing. When Brian and Roger are retired, I hope Adam carries on as Queen + (Queen). |

Cosmos Rocks had three very defined writers on it, and both Brian and Roger had to work with Paul to make something he could fit into, I don't see that with Adam, he will have less of an input to the writing and he can fulfill the role of a true Queen frontman. I think it could be interesting, but Brian and Rogers style when combined tends to be less creative then when they work apart in my view, As for the same old shit of 'it's not Queen' of course it bloody is, those two founded the band, and as with hundreds of other bands still use the same name, frankly you could say it's not Queen after RTB left... he had as much of a role creating the classic Queen sound as anyone. And frankly classic Queen created some pretty crappy tracks, Coming Soon, Body Language, etc etc Lets wait and see how it sounds... The Eagles are still the Eagles, The Who is still the Who, The Stones are still the Stones get over it |
Vocal harmony 19.10.2017 11:07 |
^^^ agreed. But I think there is a problem. Brian has been creatively at his best when he has had people around him who disagree, to some extent, with what he plays or tries to play. In recent years I think he has been surrounded in a recording setting by people who fall over backwards to tell him that the A chord he just played was amazing. I think they need to find a producer and engineer who will push them and question their decisions, not surround themselves with yes men. |

They may have founded the band but it's still not Queen. Queen songs were from 4 members, not 2. It's the same old shit because it's a fact, nothing changed. I'm not saying don't record new material but it's not Queen, like it or not. |

Spot on cmsdrums and rsprotos. It won't be Queen, really , but it will be catalogued as so. Freddie was a God . His place cannot be taken . Just don't use the Queen name.! |
Rich Tea 22.10.2017 21:54 |
Why can't they use the Queen name after all they are Queen as much as AC/DC were AC/Dc after Bon Scott died or Genesis were Genesis after Peter Gabriel left or Pink Floyd were Pink Floyd after Syd Barratt left. Queen are as much Queen now as the Who are the Who or The Damned are The Damned. I really don't see what the problem is band members die or leave or retire from music while other band members carry on. Its funny but Queen enjoyed a massive resurgence when Freddie died and it seems to be happening again now sell out shows etc etc. For the record I loved Fred as much as any Queen fan he was my hero from 1974 onward but come on if you don't like whats happening now its fair enough move on and listen to the old stuff some of us are actually glad the band in some form are still performing and I really hope they release some new stuff with Adam........... |

They go under the banner of Queen+. And let's face it, none of those bands you mentioned went from having one of the greatest rock singers to having a tacky X Factor pop idol type singer. I'm sure there would've been a hell of a lot of Pink Floyd fans that wouldn't have liked Will Young fronting that group. Just like I don't think The Who fans would've been overjoyed about having a Bucks Fizz member filling in for Roger Daltrey. |

I'd say Queen's legacy is tarnished rather than fucked. The issue is that people sometimes associate all the Queen+ crap along with it, be it Queen+ Five, Queen+ Wyclef Jean, tacky Pepsi adds or Queen+ Lambert or whatever other tasteless tacky crap they're done over the last couple of decades. |

To the vast majority of people the are Queen and they are enhancing the legacy and its a fact that probably more than half the people going to see them this year were not born until Freddie had sadly passed. While its true that some of the more blinkered may not like Adam it is quite clear to those of us who care to listen that he is growing into the role of frontman for Queen and is also very popular with the younger generation therefore introducing the Queen catalogue to a whole new audience. Tarnishing a legacy is what Status Quo did not Queen........ |

Not liking an artists voice, or their style doesn't make one "blinkered". Listening to Lambert's voice again appeals to me no more than listening to Beiber's output anymore than I've already heard it. But by the logic you've already applied, anyone who doesn't rate Justin Bieber must be blinkered (or in other words, have a narrow or limited view). Well, no. Not so. One can like many different genres of music, and many different artists, but that doesn't mean because they don't like a certain artists voice, they're narrow minded or blinkered. It's just not for them. Obvious stuff. And it's not Queen. Queen was Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. Queen+ is Roger Taylor, Brian May, and whoever is filling in on bass and as a singer. |
Rich Tea 23.10.2017 22:40 |
lol lets be honest here bands evolve and like I said yes its promoted as Queen+ but as far as the majority are concerned its Queen a real life example is my eldest daughter who was born 3 months after Freddie died is as far as she's concerned going to her first Queen concert on December 9th and her excitement is immeasurable. I was lucky yes very lucky from Stafford to Knebworth i saw Queen 9 times in 8 years and yes nothing will ever come close to those gigs but Brian & Roger have never disappointed me whether with Paul Rodgers or Adam Lambert and with Adam it really is a Queen show I know because I've been there!!!

What's with spelling the name like that? That suggests you're taking it somewhat personally because I can't stand Lambert's voice. Which brings me to my next question: Why is it Lambert fans generally can't cope with a difference of opinion? And no, it's not a Queen show with Adam. It's a Queen+ Lambert show. As I said in my last post. Queen were Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon. Queen+ is Roger Taylor, Brian May, and whoever is filling in on bass and as a singer. |

I also saw Queen+ Lambert in 2012 at Hammersmith, hence I can't tolerate Lambert's voice anymore. It's a good thing you learned that lesson lesson after your dad passed away, so you place value on what matters to you. I'd already learned that before mine passed away, thankfully. At no point did I suggest Queen+ shouldn't carry on their activities. It's just not for me, and despite what a lot of Lambert fans seem to think (going on how they often react), there's no reason anyone shouldn't share their opinions on a public performer. |

Day Dop wrote: " I also saw Queen+ Lambert in 2012 at Hammersmith, hence I can't tolerate Lambert's voice anymore." To be Fair, Adam Lambert is a feck of a lot better fronting them now than he was then. Not saying you'd like him now but he has grown with the band over the past few years and he has laid off the vocal gymnastics somewhat. Diva mode is only triggered a couple of times a night. I was lucky enough to see Queen with Freddie many times and the new shows are nothing like the old ones, a little less rock and a lot more show, but they do feel like Queen, which they never did with Paul Rodgers, at least to me. (And I fecking love Paul Rodgers voice). You get to see a lot more of Roger than you used to as well which is nice. Would I prefer a still alive Fred to be singing with them, of course I would, but 70 year old Freddie wouldn't be the same guy we all remember and this forum would be full of people complaining about how he cant hit the notes anymore and he spends way too much time just sitting at the piano. We'd all still love the band though. PS. Adams WWTLF in Toronto was incredible. PPS. Frank The Robot and the guitar solo is worth the admission price alone. You can plug your ears when Adam is singing and just watch Brian and Rog but you shouldn't deprive yourself of a really good show. PPPS - It's really nothing like the Hammersmith shows... PPPPS - If they put It's Late back in the set, there's no way in hell that those chords wont send shivers down your spine when you hear them, whoever the singer is. Having said all that - Not sure I want them to do a new album together, but if they do I'll give it a listen. Hopefully it will be Adam singing songs written by Brian and Roger, not his own stuff. He's got a strong voice but he's a shit songwriter and I worry we'll get Hot Space 2. (Though the Guitar version of Lamberts Ghost Town from Rock in Rio was actually pretty good - the original song was not my cup of tea at all, so maybe Queenifying his songs would work somewhat) |

Queen + Kid Rock Now that would be a good one. Or Queen + Jay Z Brian May and Roger Taylor want to crossover to the R&B/Soul chart like they did with ABTD. John Deacon would consider rejoining Queen again if they hired a rapper. |

Add his tacky image on top of that and it's a giant no no for me. But yes, it was nice to hear Roger and Brian. |

folks ? seriously ! there are two guys of your favourite band... those two who are not only trying to keep the legacy alive by choosing to work with a singer that stands out for his live vocal performances and can improve some vocal lines for the best... it's rather that those two icons tend to visit the studio again because they have the feeling they can do some kind of work valuable and *different* ...none to speak of... exciting... and have a very try to approach some kind of music THEY chose to be... well... listenable. do they need to do it ? nope. do they do it for the money ? most probably not. so. what's the fuzz about ? they'll go for a new record. yes ! and ... despite of the brand "queen"... they have a collaboration with a quite talented singer which has proven to do the "old stuff" with dignity. will it be another "cosmos rocks" ? yes. why not. did anybody notice the wide range of that very album ? it maybe doesn't sound "right" in terms of "queen". but it IS "queen+". listen to the music instead of prejudgeing some product to be compared with "queen". the music is wonderful! listen to the music and compate a "queen II" with "hot space" (for example *grrr* ). they tend to develop. and they STILL develop. since the late great voice of their group has gone a 25 years ago... they still DO some stuff. . and ... people... i LONG to hear any approach those two musicians will do. nevertheless who will sing. never was a fan of paul's voice. didn't like the 5ive collab... the pepsi-advert was disgusting... lady gaga seemed to be at a karaoke night... WHO CARES ? as long they'll do their kind of stuff ... who are YOU to say ..."nope not fine by me" ? if queen's music has taught my *anything* then it is to be open for a surprise or two ... and for experiments (that 90% of the time work). . i would LOVE to hear ANY output by mr.may and mr.taylor. and it's great to see them in their late 60s/early 70s STILL doing stuff. and... yes... they hawe milked the cow by doing "greatest hits" tours... who cares... as long as there's the tendency to enjoy something new and unheared... they are more than welcome!. |
