coming soon, a dvd of this... oh god WHY?? |
| scottmax 15.07.2013 09:23 |
On the video announcement it saus Queen + AL plus special guests. Looking at the line up I'd imagine Katy Perry and Muse at least to do something with them |
| Doga 15.07.2013 09:25 |
Yeah! Roger Taylor and Dom Howard are friends, if that collaboration happens would be something worth to see. |
| Vali 15.07.2013 09:29 |
Muse? now that would be a high profile Queen+ collaboration, at last ! |
| dysan 15.07.2013 09:33 |
I dislike Muse very much. |
| Marknow 15.07.2013 10:15 |
Nice to see something is going to happen, shame it will probably be no more than wwry & watc. Would love to some concert dates announced. |
| ninjabaz 15.07.2013 10:16 |
Ugh, Why don't they just work by themselves (god knows they have the talent) and stop whoring with every wannabe they come across |
| rocknrolllover 15.07.2013 10:19 |
Such bad bad news again this al |
| scottmax 15.07.2013 10:37 |
After a little look on YouTube, looks like you get 30-45 minutes per band/act. Unless you're Green Day and you have Usher coming on after you..... check it out! |
| last-horizon 42265 15.07.2013 11:21 |
"plus special guests" => Kerry Ellis will be probably one of them |
| Ale Solan 15.07.2013 11:32 |
Geez. |
| john bodega 15.07.2013 13:37 |
The rest of the bill looks fucking atrocious as well. |
| Mr.QueenFan 15.07.2013 14:28 |
This is great news. Queen are back again, and i love it. People atending this show are very lucky indeed, and it will be great for the Queen image in the states to be surrounded by such artists who have huge success in the US. Great news! I just hope that they start to work on some new music with Adam Lambert and/or other artists. It would please me a lot. |
| scottmax 15.07.2013 15:20 |
^^^^^^ I agree |
| AlexRocks 15.07.2013 16:00 |
This VERY possibly is biggest, most popular, most widely viewed, most important concert that Queen have EVER done in the U.S....this should be REAL interesting. Great things to come if they can pull this shit off! Also Brian does need to dye his hair...and Roger too. I'm just saying. |
| DLCVinnuendo 15.07.2013 16:14 |
the problem is insist is this story of "new vocalist" every time, and i'm scared that this will be on dvd first that we want really, rainbow and hammersmith |
| scottmax 15.07.2013 16:35 |
You cant please everyone. Some people like AL, some dont. Who would you rather sang for them? If Roger and Brian were gonna sing themselves theyd of done it a long time ago. You lot are always gonna moan, just be pleased they're actually out there doing things. And stop moaning about DVDs, its actually really boring |
| e-man 15.07.2013 17:37 |
not only is lambert a karaoke singer, the brand "Queen" is becoming a f*** karaoke machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I came across this nice article. Nice post by JLE on MJ's. C/P here so no one has to give her hits (I took one for the team). "Here is a view from a long time Queen fan. And no, I wasn't born when they started. Queen is iconic and loved around the world. I was devastated when Freddie died. My friends thought I was nuts. (high school). I lived overseas for quite a while and fell in love when I was very young. After Freddie, time passed and then Queen came out with Paul Rodgers. I was not a fan of Paul at ALL. He is fine with his band but he had a very small range and couldn't even come close to pulling off Queen's more challenging catalog. They didn't even try most songs. Marc Martel is just a sound alike, to me, and brings nothing new to the group. Some long time fans will say they want him but as soon as he would sign up they would rip him apart too."Too much a copy cat." That is the problem with legends, it is hard to let go of someone that is that great. No one can replace Freddie. Ever. I watched Idol and liked Adam. But, that was about it. When I heard they were getting an icon award and preforming at the EMA's I was curious. Expecting to hate whoever was singing. I was VERY surprised to hear Adam. Thought it was okay but he had a lot of vibrato going on so not so sure. Watched it back a few times and just caught something that made me take notice. Confidence? The high notes? Not sure to this day. Anyway, when it was announced that Queen and Adam were dong Sonisphere I thought, well, why not. I have waited my whole life to see and hear Queen music live so let's go. When it was cancelled I was actually sad. Then they announced Hammersmith, the "home" of Queen. I had to go. I was WAY more excited to see Roger and Brian and still a little upset that Deacon stayed retired. Still iffy on Adam. Met a bunch of Queen fans at Distillers Arms bar down the street from Hammersmith, all not quite sure what to expect. Seven Seas of Rhye opened the show and by the time it got to Don't Stop Me Now we were hooked. WHAT? Who is this? He was incredible. I was shocked. I almost didn't want to like him but I did. In fact I bought scalper tickets for the next 2 shows. I started looking into Adam as an artist and he has an amazing voice and great stage presence. I like some of his music and actually went to a concert recently. He is better on stage than his recorded music. He just needs the right material and the right promotion at the same time. He is tricky because he is so hard to define as an artist. Is he rock? Is he pop? Is he a ballad singer? Kind of like Freddie, he blurred the lines with music and incorporated it all. That is why Queen's music is iconic and that is why I feel it is a great honor that Brian and Roger feel like he is good enough to stand with them and sing those songs that are timeless. To diminish what he brings to Queen is silly and I have learned not to judge because people will surprise you if you give them a chance." link · Reply Report post |

Heard the announcement this morning on 98.7 California. ... wish I could go. It's a festival and tickets get pricey. DRINKS get pricey. Then there's v whole nuisance of nearly everybody else on the bill that sucks. Oh well Good for them. It IS live. .. so don't knock it completely. I just hope they play well At this point. ... even if he looks like a fat butch lesbian and CANNOT do ROCK AND ROLL to save his life .... he at least m. ....hits the notes? Someone help me say what I mean to say |
| Missreclusive 15.07.2013 19:21 |
LOL@matt z Ah yes, it IS live and it is Bri and Rog. I still don't like AL, nothing will change that. |
| brunogorski 16.07.2013 00:41 |
Someone call Marc Martel, please! Someone kill Adam Lambert, please! LOL |
| Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira 16.07.2013 12:52 |
Wonderful, great, fantastic news! I am so glad they keep rocking! Now, let us hope this triggers some studio action. It's about time. Cheers, Ogre- |
| Cruella de Vil 17.07.2013 06:32 |
Not that I expect this to happen, but what a wonderful chance to try out some unsung great songs in the catalog. Hmm, maybe Dead on Time, White Queen, Drowse (Roger and AL duet with Rufus on drums), Put Out the Fire (still so relevant!), hey, why not Princes of the Universe? Ah, if only....Freddie & John were there instead, now that's live music! Let's wait and see... Cheers CDV |
| Doga 17.07.2013 09:43 |
Will be a set of 1 hour, 1 hour and half in the best case scenario, because that is how this festival works. Also, won't be DVD, the gig will be webcasted. They'll only play greatest hits songs, don't have much time and they want to reach to the American audiences for sure, so only the most well known songs, maybe one rarity. The ''special guest'' thing could be interesting, must of the bill of the festival is crap but there is one or two artists really great. |
| queenUSA 17.07.2013 18:37 |
The special guest might be David Bowie stepping out from the shadows to sing Under Pressure. Brilliant. |
| tomcat39 17.07.2013 20:43 |
If Bowie came out, they'd steal all the press for days. They are already getting most of the buzz on the commercials. |
| The Fairy King 18.07.2013 05:11 |
*yawwn* Just wait and see for yourselves how it's going to turn out, cause bitching about it now is idiotic. |
