I think we're being a bit tough on our fellas. Surely there are worse ideas? 1) Buying your rock and roll daughter a Susan Boyle CD for Christmas (thanks Mom!) 2) Betting Roger Taylor a home root canal that he won't do something wildly hypocritical by, say, August. 3) Drinking aquarium water. 4) First Annual Badger Baiting Appreciation Week 5) Locking Kerry Ellis out of her older, sluttier big sister's closet right before a show 6 - 100) ... ? |

God, I'm down to creepy serial killer cannibal jokes and making fun of dead quadriplegics and people who just want to love Jesus and be left alone with their enormous hair. And disordered Sinead O'Connor, who has the filthiest most vile mouth in all of womanhood and really just needs a real BFF to fly in and save her from herself. I'm making fun of her too.

And then, this morning. 97. I haven't cried so hard before 7 am since my crazy great aunt poured milk in my cup and orange juice all over my rice krispies when I was 5. However, your thoughtfulness and consideration for my investment in this thread are very much appreciated nonetheless. So, without further ado, 100! 100. Adam Lambert's thoroughly unremarkable new single with it's thoroughly unremarkable video with it's thoroughly hackneyed and overacted duality theme, which wasn't even what the song is about! With gut splitting fan commentary after. I shouldn't be so gratuitoiusly snotty, but his largely (though not exclusively) middle aged female fan base are out.of.their.minds. What the fans say: Really, this video is a tremendous work of art. If, as I define it in the Theater Appreciation class that I teach, art makes you think and question your own values, this certainly qualifies. I have read so many different (though related) interpretations, each valid and interesting. And every time I watch I (and so may of you) see something I’d not noticed before. I really think that, for different reasons, Adam’s BTIKM video is truly as brilliant as MJ’s Thriller was in it’s day. Some may not like me making that kind of comparison, but I remember clearly the effect MJ’s Thriller video had on the music video industry, and somehow BTIKM feels much the same way to me.It may be because it’s struck a somewhat “personal” chord in me (Maybe it has for others, too.), but…this video is truly beyond BRILLIANT for oh so many reasons.There…I said it out loud…now I feel better. lol Vocals - immaculate! Looks, style, personality - perfection! Visual symbolisms - profound! Song is 'Better Than I Know Myself' but duality idea and? concept - genius! Art direction and delivery - captivating! The end's dual colored eyes - brilliant! For someone to call it rubbish - short-sighted and shallow! Just tell them to look up this? song's performance on Ellen. If that doesn't convince them, they are definitely in denial. Denial probably due to their favorite singer can't sing without autotune. everytime i watch this video, is like it was the first time, so amazing,? how is it possible exit people who dislike it For the love of frond please make this accessible on mobile PLEASE IM ON MY? KNEES HERE i need to watch it on the bus in the toilet during school during breakfast lunch and dinnertime thanks this song is crazily deep. left side is me inside and right is? me outside. and yes, he's crazily hot.

Damn, i spent all night thinking long and hard (that wasn't the onl.... i digress) about this one... i had a 98-100 set in stone.. so i'll just offer it again for humor's sake (i really liked this topic... everybody got their two cents in on an opinion) Not the TRUE 98-100 98. Licensing "COUNTRY ROAD" by John Denver to be the standard "TAKE OFF" song issued from speakers when boarding commercial flights to....say.... ANYWHERE 99. Painstakingly recreating a life-size replica of the Washington monument composed of nothing but used condoms. 100. Deciding NOT TO TOUR "QUEEN+ Anybody" worldwide while the two remaining (and performing) band members still get their jollies from performing some of the best music created by four brilliant and uniquely gifted men who graced the world with a singular style of music that defied category and reached around the world to grab it's tit and say "hey, we're still here, back that @$$ up and call me daddy!" ...but then again... i got here too late :) All in all, i think ANY tour would be welcome by me at this point. I want my DNA restructured by the deafening sound of the Red Special---- IN PERSON!! (all those fortunate enough to have had that experience before...yeah, i wish i coulda caught Queen with FM... simply wasn't possible) RE: ABOVE... funny sarcasm... did someone really draw the comparison?

Just to clarify, yes...those are 100% authentic fan comments. A drop in the ocean of the madness that is the Adam Lambert superfan community. So, yes, somebody actually compared that video to the transformational cultural touchstone that was 'Thriller'. Honestly, being such a hugely dedicated music fan myself I am torn about poking at these people. On the one hand, who am I to lowball the joy anybody gets from the music that inspires them. But on the other hand, this nonsense does affect the shared culture. So, seriously, Mrs. Fan, IT'S NOT THRILLER. Jesus. |

Jesus.It's FRIGHTENING because these kids only have MJ as a point of reference and apparent REVERENCE... but they never grew up with him or any of the eras that encompassed change etc. Therefore they have no familiarity with the "sea change" of it all, or the BackStreet boy bs NSYNC era which saw everybody immitating Michael the best they could. Aside from THAT.. the obvious is that Michael was largely charismatic as a performer. Nothing seen here, just gotta dismiss it as kiddies talking out their arse... i'm certain i did some of it at a point in my life... i just can't remember when... ....or if i even did.. |

That's the thing...many, many, many of these people are not kids. A huge part of Lambert's fan base are women my age who DID live through Thriller etc. The Thriller lady said "but I remember clearly the effect MJ’s Thriller video had on the music video industry, and somehow BTIKM feels much the same way to me". She was there. And she still thinks this pap is important!! Like 'Thriller' important. I weep. |

If I put words in your mouth Michael, I am sorry, as I should have said you were implying those things about Adam Lambert, and as your support for Adam Lambert is pretty passionate, I'd call that a fair statement. What I'd like to know is how you determine who and what is negative? Think of Queen as a restaurant. At one time they were standard bearers in the industry, serving only the finest food and drink with panache. But then the old chef retired, and the maitre'd died, and the restaurant closed for a number of years, but decided to reopen. When they reopened, their menu was heavy on steak and potatoes just like the good old days in the 70s, but didn't really account for new food trends and offered no new dishes. Plus they had a rotating group of chefs who knew how to cook, just weren't masters like the old chef, and the old maitre'd who made the place buzzworthy with a one of a kind personality was replaced by a hotshot out of cooking school who knew how to act like a maitre'd, but lacked the skills to fully understand the role. Would you enthuse about the restaurant? Say they're trying even though they haven't anything to sell but nostalgia of the old place, and people who go to restaurants should quit being negative and accept what they're offering? Or would you say, that place was amazing in its day, but time moves on, I'm interested in current tastes? I'd do that, and for the life of me I don't see how that makes me negative. |

He is a co-writer. He wouldn't get this song near radio or video without American Idol.

Or would you say, that place was amazing in its day, but time moves on, I'm interested in current tastes? I'd do that, and for the life of me I don't see how that makes me negative.Look look, this is all really very simple. If you are a Freddie fan and to a lesser extent, a Queen fan, just live with the albums/videos/whatever and enjoy them whilst completely ignoring what Brian and Roger are doing now and have been since 1997. Continually bitching and moaning about "selling out", shelling out insults like the sun dishes out warmth does nothing but make you (and that's a general "you" not you specifically) look like someone who concentrates only on the negative, absolutely REFUSES to see anything remotely positive from it and so on. It's an endless cycle that, I would have thought, some would have grown out of by now. It's beyond childish. So Lambert is not everyone's cup of tea. Ok great, ignore it. Queen is dead in your eyes when Freddie passed, what does it matter then? Ruining a legacy you say? Well Roger himself put it best when he said it's his legacy and he'll do what he pleases. I haven't agreed with every decision the band has made (mostly to do with product they've released rather than collaborations mind you) but MY GOD it's as if Brian has dug up your dead mother, raped her, videotaped it then uploaded it to youtube. Brian and Roger are obviously not doing this for money. IF something does happen with Lambert it's because they see an opportunity to perform in front of large crowds because afterall, unlike John Deacon, they still have a passion for music, they still want to play in front of throngs of people whether it be a tour or a handful of shows. That's it. Lambert, Paul Rodgers, whomever they think that can handle their material and that they feel comfortable performing with. That's it, nothing more to it. Queen doesn't belong to petulant children any more than to those who support (sometimes begrudgingly) their actions. It is what it is. Attacking Lambert over the mere possibility of working with Queen is ridiculous in the extreme. He's a young guy with a great voice who also happens to be like you, me and everyone else here. He admires, loves and respects Queen. People want to do the elitist snob thing because of "Idol" and to that I say, get a fucking life. It doesn't matter a lick where a person comes from or how they got their shot, you have to have SOMETHING to last and unlike so many contestants from "Idol" and other shows of that ilk, he's still around. Like it, don't like it but god damn people, get over it. |

Idiots.Adam Lambert is a well trained (even if self trained) singer with a big range but many just don't like the "sound" of his voice. Simply as that. Nobody is saying he can't sing. I am saying he does not have a great "voice". I'd rather hear even Bob Dylan, who has almost no range but lots of flavor to his voice. He uses it well. Adam just tries too hard and is a generic, albeit exceptional, karaoke singer. |

Well I don't think Adam is ready to "front" Queen. But singing a few songs with them would be fine. I liked his 2010 vh1 unplugged performance. I think he is better being low key and the tone of his voice is very pretty to me. Matter of taste I guess. I like the song that Justin Hawkins wrote for him - Music Again. Ha. So catchy. I downloaded that one on itunes. In the spirit of the list ... No. 529 - Adam becoming disoriented and beaching himself on the coast of New Zealand, eating sand by mistake and making everyone worry. No. 530 - Adam becoming trapped under the ice in Alaska. No. 531 - Adam flying right into the engine of a 747. |

The thing is, some of us weren't around in the 70s and 80s when this metaphorical restaurant was popular, so we never got to see all the excitement firsthand. We have these little microwavable food packages that taste sort of like the glorious food being made then, but we can't actually experience it truly unless we actually go to the restaurant. The restaurant reopening is exciting because it gives us maybe one more chance to actually experience what we've dreamed of experiencing from years, and personally, I don't give a crap if only two of the four former staff members are still there, I'll even take some wannabe kid chef making my food, as long as it's pretty much the same stuff. It's the best we're going to get without a time machine |

Our favorite band passed its prime a while ago. You're favorite artist is a young guy who still has a lot of life left in him and, if he stays popular, has a long career ahead of him. That's something to be happy about. Just don't be offended because we're bitter and we're taking it out on younger guys |
Sheer Brass Neck 23.02.2012 20:54 |
I don't have a problem with people who weren't around in the 70s and 80s wanting to see Queen as you do waunakonor. But, and this a really big but, you weren't around in the 70s to experience the Queen phenomenon when it was happening, so you have no idea what Queen were like except from videos or records which you got into later. This doesn't make you any less of a fan than me or other long time fans, much as me getting into Queen for ANATO makes me less of a fan than someone who saw them at the Marquee in 1973. It just makes it impossible for you to comprehend what Queen stood for and how insanely awesome they were. So when you say "I don't give a crap if only two of the four former staff members are still there, I'll even take some wannabe kid chef making my food, as long as it's pretty much the same stuff", people who have had the good stuff, not a microwaveable package of food that bears a passing resemblance to food, are going to think it sucks. They've experienced the greatness in a way that you never can and never will because through the unluckiness of your birth year, you came late to the party. Brian and Roger are not Queen the band, they are the surviving members of Queen, and the force (as GT points out in his post) behind the Queen brand. Queen were groundbreaking artists on record whose songs will last for centuries due to their timeless appeal. They were beasts as a live act in the 70s, and that's when they ruled the world and if not without peer live, it was a small group of people who could rock live like Queen. So you're right when you say "It's the best we're going to get without a time machine." But once you've had mind blowing sex with a bevy of Victoria's Secrets supermodels for years, getting a hand job from a drunken hobo who reeks of urine may be the "best you're going to get", but I think most people would prefer the former and think the latter ain't that good. |
