Well the freak shows are finally over here in the uk and like others on this site are relieved. The poll on here asking "do you think Adam Lambert is awful" is gathering more and more votes which only goes to show people are finally seeing common sense after the fog of the hype around Adam Lambert. I honestly do not understand what this silly tour achieved apart from the obvious of money making. Queen's music speaks for itself and so a tour like this one with a rubbish singer was not called for. Queen have fucked up big time letting Lambert take over, and lets face it they have not set the world on fire have they? Sure they have won some awards but that is nothing to what Freddie achieved with this group. Did you all see on ITV "The Nations Favourite Seventies Single"? Well Freddie won it with "Bohemian Rhapsody" proving he was a very important component in Queen. Freddie is easily the most greatest song writer in Queen as he fused extravagance with opera and rock. Adam Lambert is just a crumb on the horizon of music compared to the massive legend that was Freddie Mercury. |

Bye the way that tour sold more tickets than both Hot Space and The Works, and there's more to come so get used to it Gerry. |
| Rugby_guy 10.03.2015 12:22 |
Hey you sound so ungrateful and not appreciative of Freddies work. Call yourself a Queen fan mate, that is a joke. Bohemian Rhapsody is the jewel in the Queen catalogue and there greatest piece of work ever. I am not bothered about ticket sales because people will buy a ticket to see a piece of dog shit if they could so do not play the ticket card with me because that just does not mean anything these days. Sam Bailey won the x-factor but now she has been dropped from her record label, so winning something these days is no big deal, back in the 70s when Queen were selling concert tickets it was a whole lot different to today. An artist had to be really amazing to grab an audiences attention and Queen had a huge insurgence of interest after Bohemian Rhapsody. Too much hype around these days and Queen & Adam Lambert did not live up to all the hype. 42% on the poll suggests he is awful while 54% like him, but the fans who dislike him is growing! A real Queen fan to which you are not should support our Freddie. |

"sold more tickets than the hot space and works tours" - all I know is , you had to be quick off the mark in those days or you lost out, like I did for the works tour, bloody gold dust they were, the A L tour , well anybody could get them, no quick sell outs like the old days. There's no comparison. |

| Mr.Mouth 10.03.2015 15:00 |
Remember you all..in that time you have to go in a music shop or some other places to.buy tickets..now you have internet and online one click buy. So its just another time to comoare to golden age where prime Queen did all that big sales records.They were breaking records at the time. I dont think they break some records with Adam Lambert. Remember the magic tour tickets sales record. It was never seen before. Today you have one Lady Gaga who can selk more tickets than U2,Pink Floyd, Queen together. Just saying it was another time my friends. |
| miraclesteinway 10.03.2015 15:17 |
It was another time, and when Freddie walked the earth he was a groundbreaking artist. Adam Lambert isn't a groundbreaking artist simply because there's hardly any ground left to break. Adam Lambert is where he is by standing on the shoulders of giants - giants like Freddie Mercury, and Adam Lambert would be - and is - the first to admit that. I don't know why there's all this hatred towards him really, because he is a great singer, he has an excellent voice and he's a polished performer. Freddie's mum and sister went to the concert in Nottingham, Peter Freestone went to one of the gigs, and by all accounts they all loved it. I used to think I understood the haters, but now I just think it's all being taken too seriously. |

Re: may '78 Wembley empire pool, (now Wembley arena), living 275 miles from London and postal applications not being accepted until a week after the venue box office sales, no choice but to hitch hike down to be sure of a ticket, yes, a 275 mile hike ,through the night just to get tickets! - and then do it all again for the concert . . It's certainly a different world now. |

That Tour was brilliant. Adam had always maintained that he is not an imitator. He is simply working with the band to bring these songs to us with a new perspective. He never will replace Freddie. No one will. |

SteveLondon70: No i am not a cunt but the truth here is Lambert has no depth he is just a hollow performer feeding on the success from a dead rock legend. Where is Lambert's massive back catalogue of hits to perform then? He fucking well hasn't got any has he, because he is a shit, making money out of a dead rock legend and singing Queens greatest hits, which is pretty cheap going. Queens music can speak for itself without taking this jumped up nobody on tour with them. Queen must be so desperate for a lead singer and you would think at there age they would have more sense. Call me all you want folks but many have my point of view, and remember the poll on here suggests Lambert is getting disliked more and more! |

Gerry, you are not worthy of the title Queen fan, you fail every time to critique the current set-up with resorting to a slanging match or pathetic comments about Adam's ability, Clearly you have no musical understanding or skill yourself, if you had you would understand as musicians people tend appreciate talent and applaud it, they may not like the style of music or the way it's performed but they celebrate the talent it takes to play on a world stage. Only the talentless slag off the talented usually out of jealous dispair. You inhabit the same puril world of the football hooligan who is hampered by his mental inability to think beyond the beer can. Freddie said Talent will out... well it has I'm afraid, Queen have performed one of their most successful tours and left people wanting more, so like it or not your rantings are pointless. You have no ability to rationally put your point across without resorting to slating someone who clearly has more talent than you will ever see in your life, ok you dont like him... we get that and it's fine you dont have to, but your points such as 'Queen have fucked up' display you for who your really are... an Airhead |
| ludwigs 11.03.2015 07:20 |
Sir Gezza of In-Breedville, you consistently show how thick and purile you are. How does them touring bother you? It has brought joy to many tens of thousands (hundreds?) of people who went to the shows. People who never dreamed that they could see BM & RT playing Queen songs in their lifetime. Loads of nay-sayers saw the shows and did change their views after seeing it. Sadly you decided not to out of respect for Freddie??? Who are you kidding? His mum and sister went (as mentioned) Do you really think they give a shit about your blinkered opinion? Not at all! Neither would Wayne Sleep (in his long dark coat) or the rest of your town - after all, he's a sell-out due to all his TV show appearances and reality crap. Lots of people don't want to get into this current incarnation but they have said their reasons and left it at that. We ALL know that you are too immature mentally to accept it. It's not my thing either but as has been said, they can do what they want, Go back to your shrine bedroom and praise be to Fred. I'm sure you may even have a shrine in there too? My reckoning is that you wished to have at least seen a show but your pig-ignorance (scruples/morals...sic) stopped you. Just out of principle. Pah, my arse..... You are one sad individual. Move on (or jog on as you always write) and get on with your life. Has mummy got your tea ready yet.....child!! |
| Rugby_guy 11.03.2015 07:23 |
TOGG: You can not accept the truth can you. Adam Lambert is only a karaoke singer, he can not play any instrument he is totally fucking useless. He is a cheap artist who sponges of a 41 year old rock group who has had success all over the world. He has not got the guts to go out alone and make a career all by himself but instead to play it safe,he hangs around Taylor and Mays arses. I have every right to express what other people wont dare do on here and that is to say if you lot like giving your money to Adam Lambert for his bank account, just to hear badly sung Queen songs they you are sadder than i ever thought. Queen have ripped you lot off, and you have taken the bait. sad bunch of twats on here. |

*A long diatribe against Gerry was here but in the interests of common sense and decency I decided not to send it* We get it, Freddie was more talented than Adam, we probably all agree on that, but I f**ing loved the show I saw and I wish I'd been to more. I hope the collaboration continues, and even if I don't like what the do in future, I hope it continues simply because of the anguish it would cause you. On the other hand, Brian and Roger, just the two of them, not as Queen, just Brian and Roger, playing a mixture of solo and non Freddie Queen stuff... They would sell out the Albert Hall quite easily and likely would find it fulfilling. Dave Gilmour seemed to do ok with that. Lost Opportunity there I think |

Maybe you should get outside your bedroom shrine bubble and look out into the real world. When I was a pre-pubescent kid and ardent fan I used to get annoyed when people slagged them off.

Just four blokes making music and who cocked up and did good stuff too. Your crusade IS totally inane and pointless. You ARE NOT going to win this. People saw. heard and decided to like it. Again....it's not my bag BUT I can appreciate that they are offering Queens stuff to a new audience too and continuing their legacy. I understand that you are too mentally retarded to understand this. Remember though, Queen were more than Freddie!!! They were a group.

I really don't like Lambert's voice and there's nothing much of interest or artistic merit for me in this tour but you would have to be in a very deep state of denial not to appreciate: -- this tour has been a financial success -- it has been a critical success -- crowds appear to be having a great time -- Brian, Roger and AL seem to be having a great time -- Lambert is not trying to replace Fred -- Lambert is conducting himself with a fair degree of panache -- Lambert seems to be a decent person in a thankless job |

| MercurialFreddie 11.03.2015 17:16 |
1. Adam on every show very clearly sated that he tries to honour Freddie and if not for him, he wouldn't be where he is in the music industry. 2. It was both Brian's and Roger's decision to choose Adam as a "guest singer"/ "the new guy" and we should respect that or take a moment to reflex on this. In these days we have a higher possibility to be heard when speaking by our wallets. All shows were sold out and not once was Brian boooed when he asked "what do you think of the new guy". Combine those two things and we'll have the opinion which made its way to the band. 3. It was Queen + Adam Lambert. That was the name they chose for the tour and they were very specific about that. They didn't baptise Adam as a new lead vocalist but we now know (Adam's interview) that the collaboration will continue (more shows / confirmed Rio gig / studio work ? [not necessarily new album]) 4. The tour was a huge success (tickets + reviews) but despite of it, what matters is that Queen, the brand, drew attention. People got interested and what's more, businessman in the music industry realised that there is a call for making money on that brand, and as the band was pressured into releasing Queen Forever by the Universal, they will be pressured to release other things which means more Queen music which is a good thing. |

Still i do not expect anyone on here to understand because you would pay to see dog shit if Brian said it was ok. I rest my case here, Queen are crap now and nothing without Freddie Mercury.

My guess us that Gerry, Rugby tart or what ever his calling himself this week went to a Queen+ AL show with a friend who he probably met up with during the afternoon. Saw how good the gig was and couldn't deny that Lambert was good, then to save face and not admit that he's countless posts about how shit Lambert is and how BM and RT are dragging Freddie's memory through the gutter were wrong he just carries on. It's clear he ranks Freddie above the band, so maybe he's not a queen fan, just a blind immature follower of a long dead star. Going on about Lambert not being a singer of any note and claiming he needs Queen to put money in the bank is plain ignorant stupidity. He's probably itching for Queen+AL to record an album to give him more subject matter so he can repeat all the crap he's already posted. Don't worry, Rugby Gerry tart if they don't do that you've still got Rio to look forward too! |

I saw Queen 5 times in concert from 1978-82, The Brian May Band in 1993, QPR in 2006 and QAL in 2014. The QPR show in San Diego, on Apr 1, 2006 was great and I appreciated seeing them live again for the first time in years. Paul sang great - did a tremendous job on the Queen songs he could sing and Brian and Roger did exceedingly well on the Free/Bad Company songs they played. Notice I said that Paul sang great on the Queen songs he could sing because there were many that his type of voice just wouldn't sound right on. When I saw QAL in Houston in July 2014 I figured that would be the last time I'd have a chance to see Brian and Roger and was thankful they were touring again. The show was good but it was good in spite of A, not because of him. His voice and stage presence/style just do nothing for me. At no time did I think I was seeing a "rock star" and instead felt like I was watching a souped up tribute band. I've been following Queen since the mid 1970's and have seen a ton of other big time rock bands. I have nothing against AL and wish him nothing but the best but he's not in their league. |
| barnsleybob 15.03.2015 07:30 |
My view is AL is no where near where Freddie was. Ive seen Q+AL live and then I look back at the wembley 86 video and Freddie was in a league of his own, he had over 100,000 people eating out of his hands something AL would only ever dream of. Watch the live version of Now im here and that is Freddie at his best the way he covers the whole stage. Ok AL a good singer and does sing Queen songs well even if its more of a musical way rather than a rock way but I was never old enough to see Queen and this is the only chance for me to see Brian and Roger live with a singer who sings Queen Songs. AL is not trying to replicate Freddie and he has as good as said he has massive boots to fill but its bringing the songs of Queen to a new generation and to keep the music alive. I enjoyed the show although I know it wouod have been miles better had Freddie been alive but hes not. |
| Day dop 16.03.2015 21:22 |
I'm sick of seeing Lambert posts on Queen pages (the Official Queen page springs to mind mostly). I had nothing against him when he started singing for Queen+ (I saw one of the shows & thought it was alright, but that's about it), and I still haven't got anything against him now, but that doesn't mean I'm a fan of his. Be it right or wrong, for a while I've quite resented seeing so many posts of him on pages about the group I've always loved, not to mention the Glamberts. I have no problem with the guy as such, he comes over like a nice guy, but he's a bit X Factor / Pop Idol style for me - comes over a bit unauthentic.... and it just seems the Queen pages are full of him now (I've come to see the whole Queen+ Lambert project as something quite tacky). I'm considering unfollowing or unliking the pages tonight, which is a shame, as Queen is my favourite group. But like I say, I'm sick of seeing Lambert posts. That's not what I followed the pages for. |

Still got the Rio thing, and maybe a S America tour! "What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

My over/under for this thread was 52 posts. Looks like over will win the bet. Wish we could let sleeping brick walls lie. |
