Not by a Glambert. I'm afraid it was pretty boring. They played OK but Adam came across as very insincere and the whole thing was so scripted and safe. Adam's speech about Freddie is so scripted it doesn't come across as genuine at all, he even cracked the same Frank head jokes. There were some highs - AKOM was surprisingly good as was ILWMC, Roger sounds in good voice. UP was very good as was WTLF. I'd seen them twice before and they were great but Adam isn't hungry for it anymore and they came across as doddery old men. Fairclough and Spike were in many many ways the real stars. It's not rock n roll any more it's musical theatre. If they tour again I wont bother. |
| SweetCaroline 04.12.2017 15:52 |
What is WTLF? As Brian says, they are now a well oiled machine! LOL |
| LOTV 04.12.2017 16:00 |
Jesus wept. Work it out. Although it's a Queen song so you would't recognise the original. |
| SweetCaroline 04.12.2017 16:04 |
I believe the correct anagram is WWTLF. |
| scottmax 04.12.2017 19:37 |
Well I’m not sure which show you were watching on Friday night..... Maybe you should’ve went there with an open mind and not still be pining for the deceased lead singer? It is what it is, 2 original members of our favourite band doing a damn good job of keeping the live side of things alive after a barren 20 years or so of not touring as Queen. This is just my opinion of course, but I’m certain that your view of Fridays show would be dismissed by the other 10,999 patrons who were in attendance |
| oliverd05 04.12.2017 20:04 |
Fully agree Scott! I’ve seen Queen and Adam lambert 9 times in the last 3 years, and it’s gotta be said, Newcastle show this tour was the best show they’ve done in my opinion, I just wish someone recorded it! |
| Iron Butterfly 04.12.2017 20:33 |
How did Brian's and Roger's playing seem to you, LOTV? |
| Iron Butterfly 04.12.2017 20:36 |
I used to like the speech...not this time around. I was horrified by this in the N.A tour that AL dedicated Two Fux to Freddie. That came across as very self serving. |
| Vocal harmony 04.12.2017 20:52 |
The Newcastle gig was one of the best, if not the best, I've seen on this tour. The entire band put loads of effort into the show. TOTV saying Lambert came across as insincere and not hungry for it makes a nonsense of what the rest of the audience saw. The connection between the three of them is evident by the eye contact and smiles. Anyone at the front or along the thrust to the B stage would have seen this. Those like LOTV who are quick to critise Lambert's rehearsed lines seem to have forgotten how much Freddie would stick to the same pieces of chatter. Or the king of the one Liner David Lee Roth using the same line, not just show after show, but tour after tour! Or Paul Stanley's song into's to Love Gun or Cold Gin or the whole of Metallica's poor touring me set in which Hetfield's lines to the audience where as reheased as anything Lambert has said. The truth is if your presenting a show as big as the current Queen production, with so many moving parts, both lighting, video and staging everything has to be rehearsed. Having access to YouTube gives a different prospective to live touring shows. But the best way to see any gig is to get a ticket and lose yourself in the moment which is what most of the audience do night after night |
| Iron Butterfly 04.12.2017 21:00 |
I agree everything has to be rehearsed. I'm still shocked there was only a day or two of rehearsals before this tour...I don't feel that was enough time, and with AL messing up Bohemian Rhapsody proved that there was much care or thought put in into his parts this time around. My highlight...I'm so happy and emotional DOOL was played at least twice. I'm hoping it will be played in London. I think that will be perfect way to pay tribute and respect Freddie and John, surely Brian and Roger won't leave it out in London? |
| SweetCaroline 04.12.2017 22:27 |
Vocal Harmony, I agree with you 100% that seeing them live and being in the moment is different than just watching a YouTube video! |
| SweetCaroline 04.12.2017 22:33 |
Icy, will you ever forgive Adam for being human? At least he didn’t stop cold and telll the accompany musicians, “oh f*ck I messed that up, I’m sorry but I have to start over!” |
| Iron Butterfly 04.12.2017 22:52 |
You and your Bible thumping again. Forgive?? I'm bringing it up because it's in the context of rehearsal time. Oh so he was meant to mess up like Adele? If you can't understand why she messed up during that, there's no use talking to you about it. AL messed up big time with Bohemian Rhapsody three times in a row, sweetcaroline...will it hurt you or him to admit to it? |
| someonewholikesadam 04.12.2017 22:59 |
I would jump in there and try to help you Sweet Caroline but it's for naught. Many of these Queen fans are so miserable. |
| Iron Butterfly 04.12.2017 23:04 |

someonewholikesadam, yes I know! In the review about QAL in Classic Rock, they specifically mention the Adam haters in the Queen forums! |
| Iron Butterfly 05.12.2017 00:04 |
Just too bad nobody has mentioned about 'hating' AL. Gee, some of you Glamberts must always defend and protect him always. But you fail at it. He's a grown man who doesn't give TwoFux anymore, too bad the same can't be said for some of his fans. Haters, negativity, and the rest of it, is another thing that is thrown around too easily by Glamberts. It does nothing to help him. |
| SweetCaroline 05.12.2017 00:07 |
Adam is magnificent! Just ask Brian! |
| Iron Butterfly 05.12.2017 00:13 |
Why? Am I allowed to have my own views? No, AL isn't magnificent, if he was magnificent, perfect, whatever praise you give him would he mess up Bohemian Rhapsody three times in a row? It's you who feels he can't do no wrong, sweetcaroline. And I don't have to ask Brian because I have given and I'm allowed to give my own views. That's what you can't and won't accept. |
| scottmax 05.12.2017 00:30 |
Thing is, because her constant spamming, SweetCarolines opinions are pretty much redundant on here now..... The band were tight, performances were tight, and as I said on the other thread, they genuinely seemed to be enjoying themselves |
| Iron Butterfly 05.12.2017 00:45 |
That's good, scottmax, because I was wondering if fatigue was starting to set in. I still can't help but wish things were a little different, but that's mostly due to song choices. Now, I hope DOOL will be played in London. I'd be sad if it wasn't. I'm very happy and thankful DOOL was played at least twice, credit to Brian and Roger for that. That's for you sweetcaroline, in case you missed it since you think I can't be happy and any other insult you want to throw around about me. |
| SweetCaroline 05.12.2017 00:51 |
Love this pic of Adam and Brian: link |
| infiniticz 05.12.2017 08:16 |
If AL messed up BoRhap just in one night, or if he messed some obscure song (for example from NOTW, but they're too lazy to rehearse anything like this), it would be more understable. But mistakes and slower speed of the songs isn't the main problem. Using Frank all the time and not playing songs from NOTW is the one. |
| Iron Butterfly 05.12.2017 08:47 |
AL messed it up three nights in a row at the beginning of this tour. It seemed very lazy and he didn't give a damn about it. He didn't even try to get it right. And I agree, if it was a song he didn't sing before or even a lesser known song, that would be a different thing altogether, I'd understand that. For Bohemian Rhapsody...it made AL look like an amateur. Never thought I'd see the day Frank as a gimmick, as a sitting place and the tacky banter AL does to go along with it, so much so, I don't even watch or listen to that part any longer, but I do think CGI of Frank is neat. |
| scallyuk 05.12.2017 11:18 |
Of course freddie (and the rest of them) never ever missed a note, sang the wrong lines or had to start a song from the beginning beecause they had totally Fu**ed it up. I have to say from my memory of the 30 or so gigs I saw there was NEVER a perfect gig technically or performance wise There were many absolutely awesome shows where the band gave their all and still got something wrong. BUT the point is we went to see the band not analyse it later on an internet forum. Neil |
| Iron Butterfly 05.12.2017 13:01 |
@ scallyuk....I don't think anyone can deny Queen with Freddie have never messed up during live shows. They sure have messed up at times, I admit to that, you will never see me say or even try to say otherwise. Queen's passion and talent made up for whatever mistakes they made. I don't expect perfection at live shows. It simply doesn't happen. Sweetcaroline is the one saying AL is perfect, and can't admit AL messed up Bohemian Rhapsody. It's very clear he did, I don't know how or why she can't admit to it. I think more time was needed to rehearse these Q+AL shows. When I found out there was only a day or two of rehearsals, that my gut told me IL and SYW had no chance of returning to the set, and there would not be too many surprises or changes...and I was right. Hopefully in the break between this tour and the next more rehearsal time will be in the cards for Q+AL. |

NeilYou're right, there are even examples on film of them ( Freddie) forgetting words or hitting a wrong note or his voice cracking. The stupid thing is that people have either forgotten these instances or are willing to allow Freddie to balls stuff up but not Lambert. The real truth, and one that some a lot will find hard to except, is trying Lambert seems to be a much more consistent vocalist than Freddie was live. Also a lot of people are critical of Brian saying that it's dangerous and exciting and live. But when the result of it being live is that someone makes a mistake the reaction is negative. I do think that Queen are often under rehearsed and tend to take the easy option. Yes this leg of the tour only had one day of production rehearsal. The start of the tour in June only saw them in rehearsal for 10 days including production. I understand the leaning to a greatest hits show, but I also feel that the intention was to include much more of NOTW than they did, and it's a shame they dropped what they did. They have prayed a wider range of songs with AL than they did with PR but after five years it would be nice to see a major change. I think the current production is amazing and they are playing well and seem to be enjoying it, maybe more than last time, I just wish they'd okay to the ok'd fan base as much as they do to the casual or newer audience members. |
| Iron Butterfly 05.12.2017 14:19 |
Every time I read about the one day of rehearsals...it actually makes my heart sink. There should have been more time to do it. I wish there was more time to rehearse, as it might have meant lesser known Queen songs to be added and kept? These Q+AL shows are hardly dangerous set list wise. I should know better but every time Brian hypes these shows up, I can't help but hope for more. I never would have expected IL and SYW...what a good surprise that was for me. Too bad it didn't last for whatever reason/s. |
| someonewholikesadam 05.12.2017 15:12 |
I actually canNOT believe you people are complaining that Adam messed up the lyrics to ONE song in One performance. I have seen him live many times. He consistently puts on a brilliant performance, never misses a show, and never fails to deliver. But his is human. Come on. You've got to be kidding me. |

Of course the artists involved are going to promote their current project in any way possible. That's basic PR 101. Overall, Lambert is great - but you're not going to find a lot of people who saw Queen with Mercury rave about how life changing a nostalgia show is. The show is excellent, but let's be real here. |

And as right as you are - Mercury wrote songs that will be remembered a hundred years for now, and that's all that ultimately matters. This current chapter of the band's history is a welcome and unexpected one (this seemed completely impossible in, say, 2003), but all the right notes in the world won't better the catalog for what it is. This period isn't a vital organ - it's an addendum. |
| SweetCaroline 05.12.2017 15:46 |
They haven’t told us the reason why there was only one or two days before the tour leg on Europe. Maybe it was impossible for everyone to be there because of other commitments. After 20 plus shows in NA maybe they felt the basics were in place and just needed some fine tuning. I guess I still need someone (Icy?) to point out to me what Adam did when he messed up BoRhap. Maybe there were some lyrics out of the right order? |
| Iron Butterfly 05.12.2017 19:45 |
Good grief, sweetcaroline. It was pointed out to you by another poster called GrowupGlamberts exactly how and where AL messed Bohemian Rhapsody up. You still didn't or couldn't admit to then or now. Do you think it will hurt AL's career, or his perfection and magnificence you think he has if you admit that he messed it up? |
| SweetCaroline 05.12.2017 19:55 |
Icy, I guess I missed it because he covered it up so well. I’ve been listening to all of the live audios. So I guess I should google BoRhap from the first show in Prague? |

LOTV wrote: the whole thing was so scripted and safe. Adam's speech about Freddie is so scripted it doesn't come across as genuine at all, he even cracked the same Frank head jokes.The internet makes it so easy to make this criticism in 2017. Queen's show was entirely scripted in 1974, including the majority of Mercury's banter. Have you listened to the concert tapes? "Maybe next time we'll come back with an orchestra?" "There have been rumours that we're going to split up." You may not like the old Queen much longer if this is how you feel about a show being well paced and thought out. |
| Iron Butterfly 05.12.2017 20:12 |
You missed it because you can't admit to yourself or others that he messed up. It was pointed out to you here on QZ where he messed it up. Maybe because non Glamberts pointed it out, you probably thought it was a lie or something. Either way, you not admitting to it, makes you look silly. And no, he didn't try to cover it up, let alone not covering it up well. It's funny. You give Adele shit for messing up Fast Love at the Brit Awards, but you don't understand anything about that. You can't admit AL messed up Bohemian Rhapsody. That's quite unsettling that it seems you think he could never do no wrong, and is always perfect and magnificent, no matter what. That's a high pedestal you have placed AL on. He isn't so perfect after all, and there's nothing wrong with that. He messing up Bohemian Rhapsody took me by surprise, it wasn't the first time he sang it, it wasn't a new to him Q song, that is what sticks out n my mind. More rehearsal time was needed than just a day. Do you see where I'm coming from with this? |

Butterfly without Wings, Maybe some do not technically "hate" him but they dislike him immensely. This is one of the kinder posts I've read: "personally cannot stand the fairy fellow, nothing but a reality show karaoake winner and I have zero interest in seeing the band with him fronting." |
| someonewholikesadam 06.12.2017 02:36 |
Sorry. Meant Bullet with Butterfly Wings. |
| Iron Butterfly 06.12.2017 02:54 |
First off, where did that comment come from? And is it a big deal even if some people dislike AL? Is the constant shoving him down people's throats supposed to help his career? The constant defense and excuses as to why he isn't as popular as some other artists supposed to help him, the untrue claims of homophobia, payola? Because I've read plenty of it in the last few years with nothing to back it up. So I look at is as a sort of defense and promotion that some Glamberts resort to, some posts by a poster here end up doing that, even now. I find it so ironic All doesn't give TwoFux anymore, and some his fans go all out thinking they are helping him. What will be the excuse/s be if his next solo music won't get airplay or sell well, or get the nominations and or awards? It seems every excuse in the book has been given already. By the way. AL messed up Bohemian Rhapsody three concerts in a row at the beginning of the tour, not just once. |
| someonewholikesadam 06.12.2017 03:00 |
That comment came from this forum. I could post many, many Queenzone posts about AL that are much more hateful than that. Ever since I came here, I've felt the need to defend AL because of the absolute venom spewed here about him. I belong to a few other forums (AL forums and professional forums for my line of work) and I have NEVER encountered such a miserable, nasty bunch as some of the Queen "fans" on this forum. Truth. |
| someonewholikesadam 06.12.2017 03:12 |
Bullet, how about this lovely comment from a prior post: Are you sure its because he is gay and not because he is a massive cunt? Dare I ask.....why exactly is Adam "a massive cunt"? In every interview of him I've seen or read, he comes across as a pretty nice guy. On the rare occasions I have been able to stand watching him for more than half a nano second I form the opinion he is a massive cunt. There is no science or psychology involved, its just what I think. |
| someonewholikesadam 06.12.2017 03:18 |
At least this QueenZone poster has no homophobia : "Lambert is a star of gay scene not rock star. " |
| Iron Butterfly 06.12.2017 04:15 |
I'm getting a migraine so I will be quick. And I hope I make sense. I am not getting into what is considered homophobia to AL fans or not. I've lived through homophobia, it was horrible. I'd rather be called a c**t any day than some of what I've been called and gone through. I think homophobia is too easily tossed around where AL is concerned. To shout about homophobia as to why AL isn't selling, as popular as some other artists well, I think that's bullcrap to be blunt. I'm not going to answer why someone else thinks and feel the need and want to put out there that AL is a c**t. That's for that person to explain...or not. Would anyone be offended if a poster said Kylie M, Cher, Madonna, Diana Ross were/are stars of the gay pop scene? Genuine question. |
| Liliane 06.12.2017 04:30 |
Bullet with Butterfly Wings: do you honestly believe that Adam Lambert has not been held back at all in some way by homophobia? I do not believe that homophobia is the only reason why Adam has not been more successful but it definitely did play a part. You only need to look at some of the hateful comments made about Adam on the Internet to see that some people do really dislike him just because he is gay and "dares to shove his gayness down their throats." Some of the comments posted by someonewholikesadam are very good examples. link |
| Iron Butterfly 06.12.2017 04:59 |
Ok where is the proof he has been held back? I've read that countless times in the past few years, and no one could back it up. So, no, I don't believe it with no proof. Where is the proof of it? Genuinely would like to know about it? Sorry, I won't click on your link, migraine at the moment and not up to watching videos right now. I will check it when I can, but what is the video about? What should I be looking for? |
| someonewholikesadam 06.12.2017 13:01 |
Bullet, I am not claiming that Adam has been held back by homophobia. Although I do believe that what he did on the AMAs pissed off a lot of execs and that did hold him back in a big way. I am only posting these comments to demonstrate why I feel the constant need to defend Adam on QueenZone and to bolster my comment that many on QueenZone are mean, miserable and hateful. |
| LOTV 06.12.2017 15:05 |
As usual any kind of criticism is jumped on by the apologists and accused of being miserable. I went with an open mind and I was determined to enjoy it, sadly I just didn't feel it. If you read what I write both above and in other threads I have/had no problem with Adam. Jesus I even state I've enjoyed past gigs. Also, I'm not reviewing in comparison to Freddie I'm taking as I found. I didn't say it wasn't entertaining, of sorts, it's just not rock n roll anymore. BWBW to answer your question they played OK, but not particularly fast and Roger's drumming is pretty plodding now. If you like musical theater - fine, I'm sure you had a great night singing along to the safe set list and rehearsed posturing. The atmosphere pre gig summed it up - like going to the theater but with less buzz. Queen are old and boring now. Time to quit. I'm glad I saw this version when they were really good in Chicago and Nottingham. |
| Iron Butterfly 06.12.2017 16:30 |
AL doesn't need defending, he doesn't give TwoFux. Before, during and even now some of his fans feel the need and want to defend him at the drop of a hat. The Glamberts that do that are not helpful, especially when there is nothing to back up claims of homophobia for example. I still have no proof whatsoever that homophobia has ever held AL back. Many on QZ are mean, miserable and hateful you say? What a mind blowing, sweeping statement. Is it law or Glambert code that one must fawn, agree with everything to do with AL? Because it sure seems that way to me. What are you hoping to do by defending AL? That people end up 'supporting' him so much that he can do no wrong? That people are supposed to believe claims of homophobia and feel sorry for AL? Simply put, it's not helping him. If I were him, I'd be very ashamed and embarrassed to have fans that cry foul if someone dares post opposing views of AL. I've been the best of some Glamberts since Q+AL started, but I've seen the worst too. Those who think it's fate that Freddie died, and along came AL to step in his shoes to give life to Brian and Roger, the claims of hate and homophobia nare among the worst. |
| Liliane 06.12.2017 23:06 |
LOTV, as a Glambert, I actually have no problem with your post at all. At least you gave them a chance and went to see them before forming an opinion. In my book, if you've seen them, then your opinion is valid even if I might disagree with you. I have always lurked for a while in this forum but have never posted until now. I lurk because I am interested to know what non-Adam fans think about the QAL concerts. I love QAL and have seen them 6 times. The music of Queen is just iconic and QAL is awesome live. But I do agree with all of you who are hardcore Queen fans that the set list could be better. I was also very disappointed to see them drop IL and SYW even though I have followed QAL only since 2014. I could imagine how you must all feel about the set list... |
| Liliane 06.12.2017 23:34 |
Bullet with Butterfly Wings: I see you often tend to generalize about Glamberts, that we all think Adam is perfect, that we always feel the need to defend him...Glamberts are individuals as well, you know? We also so have the right to an opinion don't we? Just like you have yours? I personally do not think Adam is perfect at all, he is human after all. I can understand that he is not everyone's cup of tea and there is nothing wrong with that. I just want to discuss freely without being accused at every turn that I am defending him...Anyway, the video I linked is an interview of Adam after the debacle of the AMAs. Adam did some suggestive moves and kissed his male bassist on stage. As a result he was uninvited by ABC to some of the promotional events that he had lined up on their channel. If you look at the video, it was clear enough that homophobia was on full display. CBS who did the interview showed Madonna and Britney kissing but blurred the kiss between Adam and his bassist. You asked for proof so I put the link. You could also see the attitude of the interviewer who basically wanted to force an apology from Adam for daring to kiss a guy on stage and offending his young fans and their parents.. If that is not homophobic to you, then I have no idea what you think constitutes homophobia. Over the years, I have heard that some fans heard radio djs mention that they would not play music by that f**...and the list goes on. In fact, if you read interviews by fellow gay artists such as Darren Hayes from Savage Garden, Lance Bass from N'Sync, Justin Tranter...they all said that the music industry is very homophobic and pretty much all said that Adam would have done better if he was not gay...Here are some links if you are interested. Sorry for being off topic, since homophobia was discussed so just thought I'd participate in the discussion. I am not saying that homophobia is the only reason Adam is not successful, but it is definitely a factor. There are a lot going behind the scenes in the music industry that we don't know about, only the people in the industry itself would really know what is going on... link link link link |

Nah, not you, Lillane, I didn't mean to lump you in with the defense at the ready.You have been pretty interesting to talk with over on QOL. Like I say, I've seen the best and worst of some Glamberts through the years, I've been a part of such discussions since Q+AL started and have been almost ever since. Speaking of which, I think those articles have been posted over on QOL before by someone, so I won't bother clicking on those again. But it's been said AL has had no airplay since he came out publicly which I know is wrong. I listen to online radio often, and indeed his music has been played and shown since then. GT was played locally here. ET Canada clearly supports AL, I've seen reports about him often in the past few years. That's two examples. I don't know what his next solo music will bring, but i hope claims of homophobia will have nothing to do with it. IMO, he needs stronger songs and production, time will tell if it will be included. |

But it's been said AL has had no airplay since he came out publicly which I know is wrong. I listen to online radio often, and indeed his music has been played and shown since then. GT was played locally here. ET Canada clearly supports AL, I've seen reports about him often in the past few years. That's two examples. I don't know what his next solo music will bring, but i hope claims of homophobia will have nothing to do with it. IMO, he needs stronger songs and production, time will tell if it will be included. |

@LOTV - I think your opinion is 1 of every 1000 that visits the current tour, judging by the hugely positive press and other visitors. If you visit more than once you will obviously notice things that are "studied" - but I noticed the same in 1986 when I saw them play 5 times. The shows were exactly the same - you'd know exactly where Freddie would be at certain moments, when he would throw his drink, when he would speak, when Brian would speak etc...like theater :-) |

As i, and others, have said Queen have done this since the 70's. Brian's line "we were gonna do this with the London Philharmonic but they didn't turn up" used at Hyde Park did a whole world tour. People on here need to lose the dislike for Lambert and the band they claim to be fans of, or think before they spout their crap. |

I felt that the imagery was slightly at odds with the largely greatest hits package, but if you read Brian's recent comments on the sudject it becomes much clearer where the band are, and where most of the ticket buying tans are too. Understanding and agreeing are two different things but, being hostile towards something that doesn't agree with your thoughts or beliefs is why the world is so fucked up today. |
