After Adam Lambert’s killer performance with Queen on Wednesday night’s season finale of American Idol, rumors flew that he had already been offered a job singing with the band. That’s slightly premature, according to the band’s guitarist, Brian May. “Amongst all that furor, there wasn’t really a quiet moment to talk,” May tells Rolling Stone in an e-mail interview. “But [drummer Roger Taylor] and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him at some point. It’s not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn’t that easy. But I’d certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there.” May, whose band recently ended a four-year-long partnership with singer Paul Rodgers, is comfortable with Idol as a launching point for the careers of rock singers. “You’d have to define ‘legitimate’ first,” he writes. “The long-term answer has to be that, if you have enough talent and enough will to succeed, you will get there by whatever route presents itself. Once you have scaled the castle walls, with the sword in your hand, it matters little how you got there. I’ve not always been positive about shows like this, but there is no doubt that it offers a door to some real genuine talent along the way.” “Both those boys are well worthy of big success,” May continues, in regard to Lambert and Idol winner Kris Allen. “So it’s pointless for someone like me to stand on the sidelines jeering. I’m confident Adam will make great use of this wonderful opportunity. I hope I’m there to see it.” link |

Interesting. I don't think it would such a bad idea for Queen to get together with Lambert, but I do think they should wait a while before committing. That way, they won't be seen as cashing in on Lambert's American Idol success and they also won't be seen as desperate. Considering Queen's status, desperate is the last thing they should come across as. Fortunately, it appears that they are not unaware of this.. |

Hopefully Queen productions are also aware of the need for credibility and not appearing desperate. I get the feeling at times that Queen the band are sometimes overridden by Queen the company. I'd give a huge amount to see Queen live, but would hate for them to lose their reputation and be seen as old men desperate for attention. |

I guess Queen excited the US with their appearance on the final of American Idol therefore sparking these rumours of Adam joining Queen. Some web photos are depicing him as the next best thing to Freddie. He's a very long, long way to go to get anywhere near Freddies level. |
| 17Procession 23.05.2009 18:45 |
No way nothing will ever be better than Freddy, and to tell you the truth i really dont like Adam. i think he tries too hard to imitate Freddys rock opera when singing , and combined with his over feminine singing i get kind of annoyed. plus i saw him singing with black finger nails . yeah if you would look at the cover of Sheer Heart Attack you would see thats Freddys trend. i think Lambert joining would be a big mistake . i also thing Bowie and Queen should make a few more songs together. |

Brian has lost his mind, here is this legendary amazing band with members that are close to 60 and have done it all and he wants a fruity talentless idol guy to have something to do with Queen? thats pathetic. |

Nothing but speculation.... how about we deal with facts? Just because Queen peformed on AI, does not mean that Lambert is joining the group. |

Adam Lambert is going to be Queen's new singer? This is not right. It should be Paul Rodgers instead of Adam!NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| the dude 1366 24.05.2009 19:33 |
I don't think Brian said much here. He just didn't close the door. But if they want credibility they should get Jeff Scott Soto. He's a proven singer with a history who just has not made it to be a huge as he should be in the rock world. If they took Jeff there would be someone who can do the music justice (as he has proven), without trying to be a Freddie soundalike. |

He has a great voice, but it's very forgetful. I'd probably enjoy seeing him, but it would be very forgetful. I'm sure those folk on here lucky enough to have seen freddie even once, have lasting memories of him on stage... would JSS have same appeal? I liked PR, but all I can remember from Glasgow Q+PR 08 was Brian and Roger... quite vividly too. I can't remember anything PR sang, but I can still remember being in awe when Brian sang LOML or Roger sang A Kind Of Magic Plus... is JSS a good writer? (Genuine Q... I dont know much of him apart from what wiki says). |

I say hes a better singer than any one person who has shot him down, he qualifies. |

I have to say the comments from TM are truely the height of ignorance If he had one tiny once of understanding for what it takes to put together a world class band he would be dangerours Fortunatly as it is TM will never amount to anything and will never make it out of his own bedroom let alone, town! Question...Have you sold even one CD to someone who wasn't related to you? What is the largest crowd you have played to? Now list the responses from major labels to your submissions? Right...well, get back in your box or should I say bedroom, a lifetime of flippin burgers awaits.... All this crap about spoiling the legacy... you do more harm to that by claiming to be a fan and a musician. People, Queen are just four guys...a singer, a drummer a bass guitarist and a lead guitarist... they play instruments to entertain others...that all. In doing that they can play with Mickey Mouse if they want, what the fuck does it matter. the legacy is 40 years in the business and millions of records sold and hundreds of millions of people entertained...you can't change that no matter what they do now it makes no difference they can dance naked in a stream humming the birdie song for all I care, it doesn't change the fact that they wrote many of the best songs in popular culture... As for teaming up with other singers..bring it on, I'm all for the new If TM had any understanding of being creative he would understand the desire to move on, not harp on the past. being creative means always going forward...that what they have always doen and I hope that's what they will continue to do, some of it I will like andsome I wont, but guess what, it doesn't matter..they are just a band that's all... TM, when you manage to sell even 1000 CD's let us know, until then based on what you say and based on what your band creates you are and will continue to be a nobody. |

As ive said before, record deals and sale has NOTHING to do with the quality of the music. britney, 50 cent and other highly talentless garbage bands sell millions of albums you RETARD! As for Queens legacy, yes they are ruining it with these pathetic collaborations with talentless shitty people and its not even Queen, if they want to keep making music no problem but respect the queen name and respect freddie and john, dont ruin it by collaborating with talentless emo fags like adam lambert who is barely 20 i think, they are 60 years old and have done it all, whats the point with these pathetic collaborations? |

vVanBasten, Great question. Listen to Jeff Scott Soto's new album a few times called "Beautiful Mess" and you will find apretty good song writer. Check out som eof his "Talisman" as well. He has a huge history going back acouple of decades. Has Lambert written anything? I'm just saying that JSS woul dknow what to do on stage. Also, go to you tube and look for Jeff Scott Soto with the Trans Siberian orchestra from last falls tour. I'm not saying he'd be perfect. But he's plausible. Plus, after C-lebrity it would look a little hypocritical. |

Well TM until such a time as success and talent is measured in how many times your mum tells you how great you are I think we can safely stick with the version that is based on how many albums you sell, how big your fan base is, and how many international awards you win. |

BTW, with or without a record label at the end of the day you can ONLY measure success in terms of how much money you make, whether you are underground or mainstream, unless others want to hear you and will pay you are just another wannaby, so no matter how hard you shout about it unless others agree the only one you are fooling is yourself...enjoy |

Plus, after C-lebrity it would look a little hypocritical.Adam with Queen, at this moment in time, would be good for Queen because of Adam's new-found popularity. He's hot right now. He's "in". He's the flavor of the week and so people want to tune in and see what he's up to. Google searches on him are the current trend. Why wouldn't Brian and Roger want to latch onto that? JSS, however, is not a household name by any stretch of the imagination. What headlines would Queen get with him as the new "Plus" in their Queen + lineup? Some of you people don't seem to understand something. If playing with a respected vocalist brings a heap of controversy, it will be nothing compared to the scorn and dismissive derision playing with an American Idol runner up would bring. The critics will have a field day. Also consider this: Do you guys really want a bunch of hyped-up twelve year olds registering here and telling everybody how Adam is far greater than Freddie ever was? There will be a ton of that nonsense. A friend of mine wrote this when we were chatting and I swear it really seems to hit the mark as of late. "yeah well i guess its allright to be queen without freddie as long as there is no + and as long as the singer is a flamboyant gay" It really seems to be the case in light of all this Adam Lambert fever. |

So, you caught Max and Amir in a "Treasured Moment"? And more than once?several times indeed, at first i thought perhaps it was just coincidecnces or misunderstandings .... sometimes when i would come back to my van after a gig and finish loading equipment Milidrag would be standing watch outside and I'd push past him to get into my van and max and amir would be ''getting changed'' in the van together .... but always red faced and sweatier than after the show see that sounds supspect but i put it aside as just silly .... then later when they both got heavier into DMT (spending my money on it and then DENYING IT afterwads...) when they got into that their behavior got erractic and stupid . playing TERRIBLY during rehersals finally after a show in center of town i was putting my racktoms away (NO HELP FROM ANYONE ....) and i found max and amir in the van, together, and let me tell to you that the kind of pole that max was smoking did NOT have any tobacco in it sorry if that metaphor pole smoker isnt right in English? i don't even know maybe you will find it funny..... suffice to say , it's absolute true. max and amir will deny, but those two cannot be trusted. |

Bloody hell.... enough with the Treasure Moment, Max, and Amir crap. This is a QUEEN forum, not a Treasure Moment forum. If you want to talk about that band and all things surrounding it, start up a Treasure Moment forum. Enough is enough, honestly. |

I agree, i'm sick of every thread turning into the treasure moment show. like someone already said, enough already! |

I third that (and have to take some of the blame myself for continuing to converse with these nitwits) Back to the matter in hand. If Brian and Roger do work with Mr Lambert there are a number of possible options WWRY show the most likely I suspect Freddie Film... probably too young for the time period selected Queen +..... Well to be honest I would have no objection, not realy heard the guy sing much yet but if they think he is talented enough I would go with it until I saw it myself Frankly I would be happy just to see them live again in any form playing the songs I love However my money is he gets offered a role in WWRY |

'freddie film' ?? i dont know where that idea came from but it can go back because to the honestly ..... he doesnt look or sound like freddie. its his indivuadlity that draws comparisons i think it might be asking too much to see him with brian and roger, the Q+PR corpse is still the room tempereture ...... but it would be a good experiment and exposure for the new guy and i will drink to this! |

Looks like Mr. Lambert has plans of his own. The WWRY musical is certainly not on his wish list :) http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ghUIXxEvFDqm_ZlsTiEOcRZ9x9TwD98E8RFG0 |

The Freddie film is under way (well it's been written anyway) The timeline is set during the lead up to the Live Aid gig ... however the main issue will be who they get to play Freddie Frankly it would be better to have a talented actor to play him, rather than trying to find a look alike, it doesn't really matter if he doesn't look the same IMO But the part he plays has to be believable for it to work We shall see... |

I'd love to see a Freddie film. I don't think I'd like to see the one that will probably get made in the end though. That whole 'road to Hell being paved with good intentions' thing, see ... there's a ton of possibilities for a good movie to be made about Freddie's life, but it'll probably get the Titanic/Pearl Harbour treatment (or God forbid, something closer to that terrible "Dreamgirls" movie ....) and wind up being an embarrassment. I don't want to see a biopic, I want to see a proper documentary about the band. Beatles Anthology style, dagnabbit! |

I actually look forward to seeing what this guy does. Best of luck to him. |
