Hey I just wanted to provide a generic douchebag comment that's negative toward Adam Lambert! |
| john bodega 21.06.2012 21:43 |
I'm putting money down on the idea that most of the people with an idea in their head of how the gig will be are not going to change their tune post-gig. If it's shit, you'll still have Lambert fans saying it's amazing. If he outdoes himself (the way Martel has been doing) you'll still get a lot of people shooting him down for not being a dead man. Anyway, I'm betting $50. Taking all bets. |
| tomchristie22 22.06.2012 01:52 |
Haha! I bet if they were currently trying to avoid 'living in the past', people would complain that they're neglecting Queen. You can't be satisfied either way |

You can't be satisfied either wayThat's easy enough for Brian and Roger to avoid, by realising the situation for what it is: They used to be in a great band, but that band no longer exists. They can release all the Queen material from the archives as that book-end-project for Queen (a term which is used to justify why nothing is released while the band members are still alive), and still continue their recording and performing career with all the new material they want. Those two are entirely separate things, and you don't need to neglect either one of them. The only thing preventing it from happening is Brian and Roger desperately clinging to their past. |

I rarely post on here and generally watch and read out of amusement and for occasional updates on what my favorite band of all time is doing. Let me say that I think it's awesome there are so many passionate fans as you reading this. Let me also say that a lot of you continue to be a bunch of whiny little brats. Music is to be played and celebrated. From John Lennon to Freddie Mercury to Beethoven... each and everyone in between would love to know their music and tradition is being carried on. We have celebrated great music since the dawn of time and great music never dies. It only continues to be played for future generations. 500 years from now, I am quite confident that people will hear renditions of Bohemian Rhapsody being played at a local bar. I fully support Brian and Roger doing whatever the hell they want. It was their band and it is their band. And honestly I think it is great that they have kept the legacy alive. Do I agree with everything they've done post Freddie? Of course not. But kudos to them for staying active. |
| philip storey 22.06.2012 06:11 |
Given the choice ,what would people prefer,Brian and Roger and Adam plus a backing band doing some shows ? Or nothing ? Also consider this,back at the very begining were Brian and Roger already in a band which Freddie joined ? |
| tomcat39 22.06.2012 06:53 |
I'm very much looking forward to seeing the setlist. Regardless of how B&R found him, Adam's a good vocalist and they will take this very seriously. I expect great lighting, probably some pyro. Mostly a greatest hits setlist with maybe a surprise deep cut two from B&R. 8 days until the Kiev concert is televised. First gig in front of the biggest audience. Takes some balls on Lambert's part, kudos to that. I'm thankful they are still playing, many never got the chance while Freddie was alive. |

I wonder if Roger and Brian are giving him full reign to sing/do as he pleases? Or, are they giving him direction as to the way they want it? |
| tomchristie22 22.06.2012 09:08 |
Despite all the negativity surrounding Q+AL, I am very interested to see how it all plays out. If Brian and Roger sing lead vocals as well then I'll be satisfied |

What I'm NOT for (which you kindly didn't mention) is Brian and Roger using the Queen name, and playing Queen songs like a poor man's tribute band. |

Its their brand name,why change it to something else it sells albums and puts bums on seats.I dont think that Deep Purple,Sabbath,Yes ,Genesis,Kiss,etc changed their name after band changes.Get real . |

Deep Purple has a 40 year recording career, but major line-up changes after just two years of their recording career. Black Sabbath managed half a dozen albums and almost a decade, but has seen more members than a brothel since 1978. By their 6th album (in under five years) Yes had three changes in personnel. Before Genesis hit any real success in 1976, they had had about half a dozen changes, including their lead singer/lyricist who was deemed irreplaceable. Compared to the other bands you listed, Kiss is relatively stable by managing ten years and ten albums before shuffling through the people. And then we have Queen. A band which stayed with the same exact line-up from the recording of their first album in 1971, to the the death of Freddie in 1991. In the music business that's absolutely phenomenal, and makes Queen stand out from the crowd. Or actually it DID make them stand out until 2004 when Brian and Roger decided that after 33 years, Queen would actually be just two members. |

Can you imagine Brian and Roger telling the record company that they were losing the Queen name.It would be finacial suicide and Queen are a registered company ,which John gets his slice of the pie. |

Universal (and John) get their share regardless of what happens on stage. Brian and Roger are wealthy enough to make even a non-profit tour if they were only interested in playing live, but it's not enough for them. They need to have the huge crowds. The sad (or good?) thing here is that in the UK they could just as easily have sold the Hammersmith shows as "Brian and Roger", but they were already committed to playing with Adam Lambert. Maybe next time they'll do a theatre tour all by themselves, and leave out the guest vocalists and the Queen name. |

I have a great image in my head of them playing as 'Rog and Bri' like Chas N Dave, sat around the piano in flat caps. I'm very ngative about the way the legacy has been treated, but to be honest I took the plunge and now the tickets have turned up I'm excited. I wouldn't have bothered if it was, say, at Brixton Academy. The history of 'Queen' at Hammersmith is massive and I want to see that, even if I am 35 years too late. My kids will still think it's cool when we sit down to watch Hammersmith '75 and I can say I saw something 'similar' :o) |
| queenUSA 24.06.2012 08:46 |
Indeed. Not long now. My Hammersmith ticket receipt arrived in yesterday's mail. It says "QUEEN - Hammersmith" July 14th. By this same time next month all of the concerts will already be over - but the discussion will go on and on! |
