No. Lambert is pop singer, not rock singer. |

I concur !!! |

No, I can't imagine Queen having a gay lead singer. |

If the songs are good......absolutely! But with one caveat.......he can only do simultaneous backing vocals, with that volume the same or lower than Brian's and Roger's BVs. |

I was fully supportive of The Cosmos Rocks and wished they worked more with Paul Rodgers. On the other hand, I like the fact that they are touring (I'm attending 6 shows), getting exposure in the U.S., etc. I don't mind Adam as he can certainly sing but I would not want them to make an album with new songs. Why would they? It's not like Adam Lambert would be a key contributor to it. I wouldn't mind them doing a Bri+Rog album under the Queen moniker and have several guest singers and even producers, but please no "Queen + Adam" album! A Live DVD/BluRay would be great, though. They should film the Madison Square Garden show... because I'll be there, of course :). |

Cosmos Rocks was a great album with instruments played by Brian & Roger. I have no problems with an album written by B&R with Adam Lambert singing... His performances on Glee show that he CAN sing (albeit with a fair bit of processing I suspect....) |

Wow. ...oh wow! Revisionist history! TCR is a GREAT album?? Wow. Eh. ... It had a few moments. I'm not certain but I suspect that Adam is mostly a contract performing artist and not a songwriter. Please make the distinction. If I'm wrong let me know. Someone with all the fine print and know how. |

I think he always sounds amazing. His performances on Glee show that he CAN sing (albeit with a fair bit of processing I suspect....) And, NO, I do not want a Queen and Al album. I want just an AL album!! |

Matt Z " I'm not certain but I suspect that Adam is mostly a contract performing artist and not a songwriter. Please make the distinction. If I'm wrong let me know. " Of course he is a songwriter. He has songwriting credits on many songs on his first two albums and also on songs before he was on AI when he was in a rock band,Citizen Vein, with Monte Pittman, Madonna's guitarest and Adam's guitarist on his Glamnation Tour. |

Sure I want to hear it, it'll probably be crap, but I want to hear it. I don't believe anybody here who says they don't. |

SWLA, have you ever heard the song Whole Lotta Love? If you have and think this is anything close to approaching rock and roll you are mentally ill. As you know, I've been fair to you and and I think you're a nice person. But if you think this slowed down poppy version resembles rock and roll, then wow. |
pittrek 15.06.2014 12:52 |
OMG, the Whole Lotta Love cover is HORRIBLE. But his own songs are sung pretty well |
Mr.QueenFan 15.06.2014 16:12 |
I would love to have an album. They are great and they sound fresh. I believe that the world is ready for some great music again. |

Perhaps you are thinking of "hard rock" or "heavy metal." Adam's interpretation of WLL in this video is a brilliant one, it IS rock and roll and his vocals and showmanship are superb. does this fit your definition of rock and roll? |

When it comes to a new Queen album... An album with a few more reworked Freddie Mercury tracks and unheard material? Sure. (Isn't that what we've got coming anyway?). The new May/Taylor arrangement of Love Kills, if the YouTube vid I saw was anything to go by, sounds like it'll do justice to Freddie's track. (I never liked the disco backing). I look forward to seeing what else will be on that album. But an album with a a voice, that, although it hits the notes, it's an essentially a weaker, more run of the mill voice, and at times too forced. No, personally, I wouldn't want that album. And going by Cosmos Rocks, or Fun on Earth, I'd say May and Taylor's best songwriting days are behind them. Like Paul Rodgers before him, Lambert is a vehicle so the old songs can be heard live once again. And that's all. There's no need for it to go any further than that, especially in light of the fact May and Taylor are reworking Freddie material and in my opinion, like I said, their best songwriting days are in the past. Does Lambert even write his own songs? Even if he did, then it might as well be a Lambert album with May and Taylor backing him. No thanks. As for this thread, what's the point in trying to sell Adam Lambert to people that aren't keen on his voice? Fans of Freddie aren't likely to be particularly impressed with anything you post of his. He doesn't compare. And yes, people will compare. Just like they compare cover versions of songs, movie remakes and reboots and whatever else. It's what people tend to do. Is Lambert a rock singer? Not really. Sure, he sings rock numbers. But they come across too cabaret. The one thing that Lambert lacks for me is a good tone to his voice, and after a while it grates. It's a thin voice, a voice that lacks depth. I certainly wouldn't want to listen to it for more than a concert (and I did go see them in 2012). I enjoyed the show. He pulled the numbers off okay. He hits the notes and he does the job. But I was mostly there to see May and Taylor and hear songs that I'd grown up with and still love. But something was seriously lacking. However, I didn't bother with Paul Rodgers and Queen at all. I find Paul Rodgers voice too bluesy and dull. That's really off putting for me. But anyway, I've gone off on a bit of a tangent there. But all in all, no is my answer to this question. |

imho not really interested in a Q/AL album. slightly more interested in this thing called "Queen Forever" but even that might be pushing it. fwiw Clutch -- Earth Rocker, etc -- now there's a rock voice. AL doesn't seem to resonate much in his mid-chest and gut, and his color/tone pale in comparison to Paul Rodgers. I thought the new Love Kills was weak, and Now I'm Here is so overplayed, but will still give attending Detroit a chance |
Marcos Napier 22.06.2014 16:55 |
is there any other kind of answer but a loud NO? |
wOvANz 22.06.2014 18:51 |
No Lambert NO! I'd rather hear this guy on the new album - James Wolpert just listen what a power link link |
