Now there are people that do not understand that BM and RT feel happy when they are on stage - see Q + PR in Chile, or when Brian does that amazing solo during Fire and Water in Japan. So boycott the shows, make Roger and Brian unhappy because we don't like Adam. Bulshit!!!! It was the same shit when Q+PR decided to tour! That tour gave me one the best days in my life and that's what matters. There will be people travaling from across the globe to see those guys and doesn't matter if it will be 5.000 or 40.000 in the venue. They will be happy as shit, period. Keep going RT and BM.

I will and have completely ignored anything with the name "Queen" that doesn't include Freddie Mercury. Not one dime have I spent on non-Freddie Queen except for "No One But You" as a download. Freddie is why I love Queen. The others were just good supporting cast members

Right. So get lost to a Freddie Mercury forum, 'cause this is a Queen forum. And Queen are Brian, John, Roger and Freddie. And don't forget to throw away your non-Freddie Queen singles, buddy! Regarding the concert, this is not about Adam Lambert, this is about two great guys, great musicians, half of the band we say we love and admire for about 40 years. Stop this childish story and let them do whathever they want and let people choose if they are gonna pay for it or not.

Listen, moron, nobody is preventing you for choosing. This is a forum where different people express often divergent opinions. As regarding the other 3 as supporting players it is true. Reality is that Freddie could've fired all three band members and replaced them and remained successful as Queen because he was the face of Queen. After those first four hits he could been Queen with any rhythm section and lead guitarist). BTW Freddie's the one that convinced Brian & Roger to have another go with the band thing (Brian might be a physics teacher today instead of a rock icon, roger might be homeless or a bag boy at a grocery store). Freddie's the one who came up with the name and logo. He's the one that wrote their first four international hits. The other three owe their careers to Freddie Mercury. Yes the other band members wrote some hits and are very important but Freddie sang them hits. Not a single Queen song sung by Brian or Roger hit the charts until "No One But You" (post Freddie). The idea that Queen was 25% freddie 25% Brian 25% Roger 25% John is just "political correctness" when it comes to the band. For them to limp along as Queen + is plain ludicrous. There's is no Queen without Freddie. There still could have been Queen if any of the other 3 were dropped. No other great band has done this shameful practice of Band + after their lead singer died.. Other band members either form a new band (Foo Fighters for example) or just "man up" and keep using the name despite new singers (Journey...though they suck now and sucked then).

Don't even pay any mind, some people feel everyone should just LOVE any Queen spinoff. If everyone would truly admit to themselves including the remaining members, they could see clearly your summation is 100% true. Freddie didn't want it to be viewed as such but it is what it is. Any other individuals might not have blended as well. There will never be another Queen as it was.

Vocal harmony wrote:The ticket price of most gigs has little or nothing to do with the band. The promoter hires the venue, pays for ticketing and advertising costs and usually sets the ticket price. The promoter pays the artist what ever their agreed fee is. The ticket price is usually a reflection of the promoters belief in the band being able to sellout at the highest possible price.

Vocal harmony wrote: Yes there will never be a Queen, as they were. But if BM and RT formed a new band and went on to perform some of the old Queen hits they would be hounded by the press for being Queen wanna be's..

Vocal harmony wrote: They perform as Queen+ because their is no singer who can replace Freddie. And that seems to be the biggest contention amongst those who don't agree with what they're doing. "no one can replace Freddie" the point is no singer has actually joined the band as a permanent replacement. Their are many bands who have replaced different members and carried on.
