Adam Lambert wants to make an album with Queen. The former 'American Idol' contestant has been singing with the group live in place of the late Freddie Mercury this summer, and is keen to record new material with original members Brian May and Roger Taylor. When asked by UK radio station Capital FM if he would make a record with the group, he said: 'Yeah, I mean, I would love to work with them in any capacity in the future. I don't think I would turn any offer down. 'I mean, they're amazing! I don't know what it would be, but hey!' Original Queen singer Freddie passed away in November 1991, and bass player John Deacon retired in 1997, but the band have continued, performing with singer Paul Rodgers between 2004 and 2009 and more recently Adam, after they played backing him in the final of 'American Idol' in 2009. Queen and Adam played the second of three shows at London's Hammersmith Apollo venue, performing classic tracks including 'Under Pressure', 'I Want to Break Free', 'Another one Bites the Dust' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Adam, drummer Roger and guitarist Brian all took turns to sing lead vocals and at a few points Freddie appeared on screen and sang, accompanying the band through archive footage. The band will play at the venue again tomorrow (14.07.12), their last scheduled show at this time. link |

Some time ago you wasn't even sure you want to do a whole tour with those "old baggers" and now you want an album with Brian and Roger? Good luck with that, Adam. |
alanpace 14.07.2012 01:57 |
I've been a Queen fan since about 1976 and I've been following Adam Lambert since he was on American Idol. Just so there's no confusion created by Man from Zanzibar's quotation marks, whatever you may think about Adam Lambert's voice he's never used it to say the words "old baggers" in reference to Queen. Several years ago when interviewers were asking Adam about rumors that he might tour with Queen, he said he didn't think the timing was right because he hoped to first establish himself as a solo artist. Considering his immense lifelong respect for Queen, however, I think that he might have changed his mind even then had Brian actually called. |

Thanks both for the warm welcome and for your inspirational reply, Zebonka12. |
alanpace 14.07.2012 06:08 |
Upon further reflection, Zebonka12, I assume your comment was in reference to the album and not in reply to my post. That being the case, I understand your point. I'd be interested to hear the result of a collaboration, especially if it was new music as opposed to covers. Adam has said himself that he can't match Freddie when it comes to Freddie's songs. |
tomchristie22 14.07.2012 07:25 |
Lolol. But yeah, they'd better not. It just seems out of character, particularly for Roger, that he doesn't acknowledge how shit Adam sounds. Maybe he genuinely thinks he's a good singer, but he just seems like the kind to be really critical of that sort of thing (that is, a well renowned rock band from the 70's being fronted by a teen idol pop singer from a TV show). Is he just trying not to burst Bri & Adam's bubble? |
AdamMethos 14.07.2012 08:06 |
I guess doing a song (or duet) on Roger's solo album would be out of the question then... I wonder how a collaboration would work since Adam doesn't really write his own songs. I know he has co-writing credits on his album, but when he's sharing that with 20 or so other songwriters, that seems more like ghost-songwriting! |

Welcome Alan to this site.Hope you enjoy your time here.You have to have a thick skin sometimes as one or two people are very set in their ways and everything after Freddie is pissed all over !Any way i thought Queen and Adam were bloody good at the Appolo Weds night.Loved Adams Pink jacket he wore for Dragon Attack. |
Megine 14.07.2012 10:37 |
If Queen+ AL do an album, I'd be happy. I have nothing against Adam, but I really want to listen to more songs written by Brian/Roger. But I'd prefer if they had released an album with some rare demos. I'm having a serious problem with verb tenses. |

Is he just trying not to burst Bri & Adam's bubble? The answer to that is Adam is a great singer when it comes to range, breath control and interpretation. Admittedly his voice doesn't work as well as Freddie's for certain songs because he's a tenor and not a baritone, and I'll also admit that the pitch of his voice when speaking between songs during a rock concert sometimes makes me cringe, but he hits really high notes in full chest voice without resorting to falsetto. You may not like that or even consider it "screaming", and I respect that opinion. He's quite polarizing. Although he currently chooses to sing pop, at least in the U.S. most of his fan base are serious about music, as opposed to the drivel played on the radio. And most were Queen fans first. I don't expect to sway your opinion when it comes to his collaboration with Queen, but if you happen to have any curiosity about why an old straight guy is taking so much time to defend a "teen idol pop singer from a TV show", check out any one of the links below: http://bit.ly/feN1Rl From his 2003 Broadway tour of Hair http://bit.ly/MrhT3c From Brigadoon in 2004 link "Crazy", at the Upright Cabaret in March 2008 (pre-American Idol) http://bit.ly/1K9hA Feelin' Good, American Idol studio performance http://bit.ly/13DmzK Whole Lotta Love...

I wouldn't listen to him no matter what. Whitney Houston, even though technically a good singer and better than Adam for many reasons, I never liked her shrill voice either. It's a matter of opinion. They say Adam does a great rendition of WWTLF. I disagree when compared to Freddies. Why compare to Freddie at all??? Well, simple. They are singing songs Freddie sang. Its all about "SOUND". Why even care about the music if not for the way it sounds? Oh, I know, I'm talking to brick walls when it comes to AL. You like his shrill voice and presentation of music that was and is genius and was presented by someone who not only could sing, but had stage presence like no other. Marc Martel has the sound. No, he doesnt have the personality nor stage presence of Freddie but, he has respect. He doesnt try to change a song in a disrespectful way, he honors it and he does it without trying to impersonate. To me, its a great fit. I can't stand hearing or watching AL. Also, to add a last point here...I'm certainly not homophobic! |

It is impossible for a Queen (or a Q+) album to worst than the Q+PR Cosmos Rocks. I would love to hear new music from Brian and Roger! As for the Q+AL argument, I remember some people still hates Q+PR, so this is something like the Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple thing. In my personal point of view, Ive been enjoying Q+AL live videos a lot... My main concert is thatI would be VERY upset to find myself surrounded by Adam fans complaining when he is not on stage or ignoring Queen's amazing music. Thanks God as far as I know, there are just a few Adam Lambert fans in Mexico, so if they come here, I would be surrounded by Queen fans... Which in itself sounds like a good idea (as long as they dont start the Freddie/Paul vs Adam argument) |

If you were to go to a concert I'd be surprised if you actually ran across Adam fans complaining about Brian and Roger or Queen's music. I've been watching the videos, too, and I certainly have no desire to skip the ones that don't include Adam, quite the opposite. |

In other words, this is just another way of saying (again) that I accept the fact that he's polarizing. |

I'll assume that you have all read this at Bri's Soapbox: QUEEN AND ADAM … THE BEST SHOW ? Well, I think we all felt the last couple nights in Hammersmith have been a moment of significance. In fact, perhaps especially last night. The band, as it is now, seems suddenly to have switched into a higher gear - more confident, having more fun … and stepping into new territory … an amazing thought at this stage in our lives and in our careers … to be honest, I would never have thought it possible before this journey with Adam Lambert began. Adam has his own style and path, and there was never any intention that he would be 'another Freddie" - but there are many parallels, in the mechanisms which we've already developed - coming together as an organic band. It's very pure - having no extra guitarist means I am back in the old place, as in the Old Days, completely responsible for holding up the 'wall' of sound, but also completely free to control the dynamics and 'feel', working more or less as a four-piece - something which is only possible because Adam is such a strong pivot and front-man. No backing singers - no dancers - it's pure - somehow it feels like Rock ought to be … … dangerous and stimulating. It's completely - real. In this epoch of auto-tune and hard discs on stage, that's pretty rare these days. And everybody seems to be having fun. Including … totally … US! Many thanks to you guys in the Hammersmith audience - no bunch of rockers could be more supportive and inspiring. The view above is something nobody else sees … it's from Pete Malandrone … my intrepid and unflappable Guitar Tech - this is the amazing sight from the Apollo (Odeon) stage - you guys are beautiful !! Love Bri This is line is where it's at for me: "The band, as it is now, seems suddenly to have switched into a higher gear - more confident, having more fun … and stepping into new territory … an amazing thought at this stage in our lives and in our careers … to be honest, I would never have thought it possible before this journey with Adam Lambert began." I am thrilled for them all and I hope it continues leading them into new territory, and even new material. I am genuinely sorry for those of you here who are unable for whatever reason to share in this feeling. |

It's a heartsick feeling inside that Brian and Roger are tampering with something that is perfect already. Leave it be! Some say not about money? riiiigght. Deluted thinking. How could anyone ever say it isnt about ego and money? I now truely do see Brian and Roger in a different light and not a good one. |

None of us can know what's inside of them. They love making music, so be brilliant (if you really are) and go make something new and great! Maybe that will be the intention with the AL collaberation....good luck with that. Yes, AL has a big enough fanbase to carry it.

I'm no spring chicken and believe me I see a lot of faces but the names defy me! lol! I guess if Brian wasn't too offended then it is all water under the bridge. I was an Adam fan until he shot himself in the foot at those music awards with that unfortunate performance and then when I heard about the first song on his album enhanced with autotune................I bailed. If you were to go back in the archives here you would see my disenchantment assert itself. I have still wished him well, but was disengaged until I saw this Queen + Adam thing in my Brian May news items. |
YourValentine 15.07.2012 03:25 |
I think a new album is very unlikely. "The Cosmos Rocks" (which I like a lot) was already such a big commercial flop that Brian and Roger hardly will test the waters again - and they did have a veritable additional song writer in the boat. When did Brian write something apart from The Cosmos Rocks? It was "Another World" 14 years ago (not counting "The Call" which was not even released on a record). Roger has been announcing a new solo album for at least 5 years now but at least he released one or two songs in the mean time. I am not familiar with the song writing abilities of Adam Lambert but it seems he has lots of hired song writers and it is hard to imagine Brian to hand over creative control over a Queen album to an outsider, anyway. It is one thing to play a couple of concerts or even a tour with the old safe hits to committed concert ticket buyers and quite another thing to release new material and expose it to the critical public. |
Freddie rey 15.07.2012 05:44 |
if they recordad an album will be more Queen than The Cosmos Rocks, becouse that record have a lot of Paul Rodgers, and Lambert will only sing his songs and no write a lot of stuff, so it will be more on the sound of Queen, really |
soxtalon 15.07.2012 12:41 |
YV - Brian did write a few songs for Kerry's Anthems album - Dangerland and I Can't Be Your Friend (with lyrical assistance)...but it is true that the two have not been a songrwriting dynamo team. With that being said, I say why not? Taking apart the controversy of it being labeled "Queen" + AL or whatever, I wouldn't mind seeing what Brian and Roger could come up with. Maybe it would be shit, maybe it would be good..but it'd be new and that's intriguing. AND I also do agree that without Paul Rodgers' influence the album stands to sound a lot more Queen-ish than TCR. |

Yes, taking away the controversy surrounding the Queen name (as far as I'm concerned, Queen's last album was MIH, not TCR or even Innuendo), it's always good to get some new music from Brian and Roger. Will it be good? Who knows, and quite honestly, I don't really care. The way I look at is this: on my ipod, there are 14 Queen albums (each of the group's 14 studio albums from Queen I to MIH) as well as the two vocal tracks from Flash. That is more than double the number of albums from any other artist, and quite honestly, if I didn't love Queen so much, I wouldn't let them take up so much space as there are quite a few albums in my cd collection which are not in my ipod. Anyway, TCR isn't in my ipod, as I don't love it. So basically it comes down to this. If the new 'Queen' album is great, fantastic! If it's not, then it's an album I don't need to worry about creating ipod space for. |
