Do you not think Brian and Roger are busy enough? I think Queen fans can express their views without running to Brian and Roger. I remember a few years ago when a thread was locked on QOL, a few Glamberts tweeted Brian May for "help'" in hoping to get it unlocked. I say it's some of the Glamberts who could not accept things when thngs don't go the way they like by tweetng Brian May about a thread being locked back then. SMH. |

Some of it is to do with the set list, sure. I'm a Queen fan who would love to hear deeper cuts in the Queen back catalogue. I think it's a shame the boring old gimmcks are still being done, the bike, the coronet...especially the coronet, that is one thing I don't think I ever will like. That's just screams crassness to me. My main beef is that there is less of Freddie and John sen during these shows. I think they should be shown more. It's discouraging to me as a Queen fan that AL is even singing the ending of Bohemian Rhapsody by himself, Freddie's vocals are simply not a part of the ending anymore. I think it's a big shame DOOL is rarely performed any more. Even if it was done every few shows, instead of rarely would be better than nothing. Love Of My Life which I adore isn't enough, IMO. Nor is that speech that AL does is enough. *All IMO.* |

Well, If John wanted to be featured in the show, he is still with us and he could be up on that stage. It is his choice not to do so. I see no reason for any fuss to be made over him. As far as Freddie, it is hard for Adam to be accepted if all you see is Freddie. Initially, there was great resistance and it was a hard road and a long road for Adam to be appreciated. I think the more Freddie is shown, the harder it is. This is not Queen with Freddie, as you guys always say. It is Queen with Adam which equals QAL. I see no good reason for more of Freddie, honestly. It undermines QAL and what they are trying to achieve. I think the right balance has been achieved as you don't want to make things harder for yourself. I think at this point Adam has earned the right to sing the end of BR. At some point the past is over and people are on to new things. That is just the way of the world and I think it is handled nicely in the show. Let Freddie sing The Dayoos and be by himself. |

Would you want hm to throw his support for Q+AL or something? You don't see why an fuss should be made out John? He is a tremendous bass player and song writer for a couple of things. Plus he was a member of Queen for years. Do I even have to point that out? Do I have to point any of this post out? Obviously, I do. Oh dear. Queen with Adam? Erm, no thanks. It's not even close to being Queen. And AL himself has said he hasn't replaced Freddie, and nor is he the new singer for Queen. He sums it up when he says he a guest. A very fortunate guest, but still a guest. The very fact you say you don't know why there is a "fuss" made about John and no good reason for more of Freddie...that is mnd boggling honestly. Yikes at the things some Glamberts come out and say, sure I've read tweets and crap like that on AL boards, but this is actually a Queen board. Of course, I'm not going to be happy with less of Freddie and John. I'm not going to be sorry for wanting more of Freddie and John. Dayoos...that's hardly enough, IMO. Not near enough. For years I have been reading Q+AL is a celebration of Queen. How the f**k can it be a celebration with less of Freddie and John? I truly don't think showing more of Freddie and John would hurt anyone or anything. Well except for entitled Glamberts who want as much as AL and less of the two guys who put their blood, sweat and tears into Queen for years. History can't be erased. You know I have things to say about Q+AL. I'd feel alot better if Freddie and John were shown more during these shows. Don't ever forget this. AL would not be where is he is without Freddie, Brian, Roger and John. That's a fact. |

The people who don’t go to the shows are the most offended by who and what is and is not included. QAL is Brian and Roger’s show and they don’t need any suggestions from the peanut gallery because what they are doing is magnificent! Get yourself to Vegas and it will blow your minds! |

It's not a bad thing. Yes, of course, everything is magnificent according to you. Not all of us think it's magnificent. Actually, when Lady GaGa and Nate joined Brian and Roger for a couple of songs, you didn't think that was magnificent. So, I guess I'm right...as long as AL is singing the Queen songs ever is peachy keen for you and that is what matters the most for you. I wouldn't put much stock in what a Glambert Granny like yourself has to say. You aren't even a Queen fan, that's pretty much it. You say people should go to Vegas because you are still trying to promote and sell tickets. LOL. |

Icy, it is great that John was part of the band, but he chose not to tour with them. You can see him up there during BR. Since when do they show the composers of a song when someone else is singing them? I really don't get that part at all. John doesn't have to approve QAL as I don't care what he thinks. He must not be opposed or they probably wouldn't be doing this. As long as the money keeps coming in, I am sure he is fine with all of that. Do other bands show the old band members when they switch them out or they die? I don't remember Iron Maiden showing the old singer. I just don't think that is done. Why would you want to remind everyone of a singer who is no longer in the band? Freddie is of coure an exception and he IS shown and homage is paid to him and he is often mentioned during the course of the concert. So how much is enough, without it reminding everyone too much of him and perhaps lessening their enjoyment of the concert? I have never heard this complaint other than from a few die hard Queen fans. I am not totally sure that the fans going to the shows would feel a lot better (like you do) with more John (don't think too many folks care about that one!) and they think proper respect is already given to Freddie. You may be an outlier here. If you just want to see Freddie and John, you can stay home and watch youtubes! Millions go even though they know neither John nor Freddie are really making any appearances! |

Millions go even though they know neither John nor Freddie are really making any appearances!Brian and Roger were obviously a huge part of Queen. Both are obviously a huge part of Q+AL., I dare say Brian and Roger are the most important parts of Q+AL. I shake my head sometimes after reading what some Glamberts say. You don't understand why I would like to see more and hear more of Freddie and John during Q+AL shows? Both were incredibly talented men and I feel like they deserve to be recognized for what they did for Queen. For sure, a hell of a lot more than what is currently in these shows. After all this time, you bet I think those two men should be shown more. Their talent is legendary, rightfully so, I think. People still care for John and Freddie. What gave you the impression that no one cares about John? Ouch at the things said by Glamberts at times. I've said before but I will say it again. The reason why into streams, etc is mostly for Brian and Roger, and of course the Queen music. I keep hoping against hope DOOL will be performed again. Brian and Roger want to squeeze AL is as much as possible in these shows. That doesn't sit well with me, even worse when it means less of a chance for Freddie and John to be shown. I've never had a problem with anyone who attends these shows, or have not attended. I watch and listen to my Queen stuff with Freddie and John. I watch and listen to Q+AL streams, videos etc. You can tell my loyalty is for Queen with Freddie and John. Every member of Queen literally worked their asses off, even one member while he was very ill. That might not mean much to you, but it does for me. I wonder if the other people who post here feel the way you do. Vocal Harmony, Holly, rockchic, Wizard, runner, happystar...I genuinely would like their thoughts if they feel Freddie and John are shown enough or not enough during these shows.Maybe they will share how they feel about it, maybe not. |

On the one hand it is a pity that they are not shown too much - on the other hand I feel it is better because showing Freddie next to this "thing" is just utter laughable and means to sell this tool to justify him destroyingthe songs with his screaming voice. Better distance Freddie and John from this tragedy. I wish John would give ONE interview or would write a book. I dont think Maylor would get too much praise for theit actions since Made in Heaven (which was the last project regarding Queen for me) |

Queen fans wouldn't constantly go to these shows if they were crap, that's just you being petty because it's not Freddie. It's pretty selfish IMO to not see that Brian & Roger deserve to still be out there playing the music they helped create simply because Freddie was taken too soon. |

Every original composer who writes opera or classical music (and is now dead) worked his ass off as you put it. Doesn't mean that new singers are not constantly singing their music and pictures of the original composer is not shown at the opera or classical hall. It might be in the program, but that is about it. I am not sure why Queen is any different, although it is more current, but still the same kind of a thing? Most people who are in the entertainment business and are successful, work their asses off, but Broadway switches actors, movies are remade and new singers sing old tunes. That is just how it is! Why is Freddie different? He is shown so much love and appreciation during the concert and I think it is way more than is usual. Not sure how much grumbling there should be about this. |

I'm pointing out that I wish there was more Freddie and John during these shows. Because frankly, they deserve it. It would take nothing away from the shows for example if Roger sang DOOL every now and then. I think it would add to it. You think no one cares about John, and Freddie is shown enough as it is, and I disagree with that. |

They do show him in the montage when they do DOOL, no idea why they only do it sporadically, I've never heard them talk about it in interview so it's anyone's guess why Roger seems to do AKOM more. They did it at the show I saw and I loved it. Regarding showing Freddie, I think they get it just right with the parts they show. I go to a show to have a great time, enjoy the music, sing a long and have fun, I don't want to go and be reminded of the fact Freddie's no longer here and have it turn into a nostalgic trip down memory lane for half the night, to me that wouldn't work, it's not what going to a show is about, and I personally think it wouldn't be fair to Adam either, every night he goes out there part of what he has to do is win over the audience, to me that would be made a lot harder if Freddie kept appearing, and would just lead to comparisons in people's minds. |

If singing a certain song is all you meant by honoring John and Freddie, that is fine by me. I thought you meant holograms and videos, etc. The problem is that I doubt most of the concert goers know who wrote the song and which one exactly is being honored! I don't think most people have any idea of the writer and many were written by several Queen members. And no, I don't think it is fair to take Lucy out at this point. Adam deserves one lousy song. How many did Paul do? Especially since Lucy fits better with Queen music and Brian played on it. Can't you give the poor guy a break? You keep on bringing up Nate and Lady Gaga. My problem with them is that they sounded awful. Nate just has a voice that is not suited to Queen and Gaga obviously didn't practice, as she can sing. If I pay to see QAL, I don't want other singers there! What bands have "random people" up on stage singing with the band? That is so weird. If that is something Brian and Roger wish to pursue, hopefully, it won't be as QAL. And since They said they don't want to work with anyone else, I think it is a moot point. |

I was really glad I got to see that one live, I did love the video montage they played. They dropped Adam's song by the time they hit the UK last year so it wasn't in the show I saw. I wouldn't have minded Lucy, but I'm glad they didn't play Two Fux, really can't get on board with that one. |

I think that's the best way to pay tribute to Freddie and John. I'd be pleased with that. I do think both Freddie and John should be remembered more than what they are in the current shows, how about adding another John penned song, or Freddie's vocals at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody? I doubt any of that will happen. I hope I'm wrong. |

When I watch videos of the original Queen shows I get the idea that Freddie was the whole show, never stops moving the whole time, up and down the ramps, and the other three guys are just there to support him in the background. I honestly think Brian and Roger get more individual closeup attention in the QAL shows! So that’s why I don’t get why icy thinks Freddie and John are being ignored in the current shows. Was John ever featured in a solo on his bass guitar? I haven’t seen it. |

Not sure how you think more focus is on Brian and Roger during these shows, unless you mean the gutiar and drum solo. Most streams I see are usually focused on AL. Look it up to find out if John ever had a bass solo. But I will tell you this, I miss his presence and talent as much as Freddie's. |

He interacted with the audience, the call & response, taking to them and he put on a show, but he didn't interact a lot with Brian, Roger & John during songs or even between them. Aside from the parts of the show where Adam actively interacts with them at the end of catwalk, i.e. STL, CLTCL, UP, he does a lot of going up to Brian, puts his arm round him, leans on him and vice versa, goes over to Roger and occasionally Spike and Neil, there's a lot of what I'd call camaraderie between them, so the focus is on them as a whole rather than Adam solely as a frontman.SweetCaroline wrote: When I watch videos of the original Queen shows I get the idea that Freddie was the whole show, never stops moving the whole time, up and down the ramps, and the other three guys are just there to support him in the background.

He interacted with the audience, the call & response, taking to them and he put on a show, but he didn't interact a lot with Brian, Roger & John during songs or even between them. Aside from the parts of the show where Adam actively interacts with them at the end of catwalk, i.e. STL, CLTCL, UP, he does a lot of going up to Brian, puts his arm round him, leans on him and vice versa, goes over to Roger and occasionally Spike and Neil, there's a lot of what I'd call camaraderie between them, so the focus is on them as a whole rather than Adam solely as a frontman.SweetCaroline wrote: When I watch videos of the original Queen shows I get the idea that Freddie was the whole show, never stops moving the whole time, up and down the ramps, and the other three guys are just there to support him in the background. I honestly think Brian and Roger get more individual closeup attention in the QAL shows! So that’s why I don’t get why icy thinks Freddie and John are being ignored in the current shows. Was John ever featured in a solo on his bass guitar? I haven’t seen it.To me, Queen were the whole show, and not just Freddie. Their dynamic was like nothing I've seen and heard before or since. I've never said Freddie and John are being ignored. I wish there was more of him. AL does he's no Freddie speech, and nothing said about John. So I wish DOOL was done at least every now and then. Not sure how you think more focus is on Brian and Roger during these shows, unless you mean the gutiar and drum solo. Most streams I see are usually focused on AL. Look it up to find out if John ever had a bass solo. But I will tell you this, I miss his presence and talent as much as Freddie's. Queen...and I mean all four members, were a powerhouse. Together they were brilliant and nothing could come close to it for me. When I watch vintage Queen concerts, it still blows me away, from the Rainbow DVD to Wembley. I don't think Freddie, Brian Roger and needed to put arms around each onstage, but I think there was usually a great deal of respect between the guys for the most part, especially in the last couple of years. True brotherhood right there. |

I do know he does it with his solo stuff as well, it just seems to be his way. |

And again the ultimate reviewer who's never been to a show knows best. The truth is that anyone who is on stage and communicates with an audience in that way is acting "the part" Freddie included. Your perception is clouded by your preconceived hate for what Lambert does and who you think he is. If it was the other way around and he was the original singer in a band and Freddie came along now as a replacment/stand in aged 30 ish you'd hate him too. Meanwhile what really matters is the band and the thousands of ticket holders, each night, are enjoying what they do. |

You can keep insisting that isn't the case but all the evidence out there says otherwise. You can't base your opinion off a handful of die hard fans on a forum, that's just not realistic. Sorry if that upsets you, though why it should bother you as much as it does I really don't get tbh. Adam says at every turn he's just happy and grateful to be singing with his favourite band and loved Freddie as much as the rest of us. Even the fans who end up loving the show and loving Adam all say he's not Freddie and doesn't try to be, that's why it works, they aren't comparing him, he knows as well as anyone there is no comparing, they just accept him standing in and letting them enjoy the music they love in a live show. It really is that simple. |

Utter laughableWho would seriously pass up the chance to sing with their favourite band and hang out and travel with them. He never fails to say how grateful he is for the opportunity, he really does feel honoured to be asked. If people were hating it I'm sure he would have stopped by now but the reality is they don't. No one goes expecting a Queen show, but they still love the version of it they get. It's just a pity you can't be happy for Brian & Roger even if you don't like it yourself, you only need to look at their faces to see how much they are loving being back touring. I saw an interview with Brian on YouTube, a pretty old one, where he was talking about how excited he was to be touring again having thought it was over. I really couldn't begrudge them that joy even if I didn't like Adam. Just my opinion. |

I am not sure how you know that Freddie was genuine and real on stage. To me he struts around and waves things about in lots of weird outfits and I never found that esp. natural or real. It is just a different way that he commands the stage. He had gimmicks and I hate it when you say they are "real gimmicks". A prop or gimmick is the same, no matter who works with them on stage. I think they are great because they are interesting, but the idea one is more real than the other is silly. Freddie looked anything but real on stage. It was almost as if he were attacking the stage and I told you once, he kind of frightened me when I was a young lady. I am sure he was not like that in real life. Adam and Freddie were acting and putting on a show and each does it in his own way, but neither guy is that stage person in real life. If you notice, Adam will do something really silly on stage and then make a face to the audience and bust out giggling. He knows he is silly and the audience knows it and it is just part of the show. I am sure Freddie was like that, too. A front man for a rock group has to be not only a singer, but a good actor with charisma, which they both have. People are drawn to watch them on stage. That is what made Queen and makes QAL fun to watch and a great concert! And of course, the music and singing have to be stellar, that goes without saying!! Everybody likes something different, which is a good thing! |

Yes, he was out there with his outfits at times, but so was/is that other dude we discuss here ;-). To me, yes Freddie was genuine onstage. And yes it was acting to a degree, but he also had the talent and guts to pull it off. I'm disappointed in a way after these years regarding Q+AL that there's still the bike...and the Coronet especially. The banter... seriously, who came up with that? It would work better for me if the gimmicks were never a part of Q+AL. |

The gimmicks! The gimmicks! What do you want him to do, stand there like a statue? When “Frank” comes up from the floor with Adam sitting on top and when he struts over to that silly tricycle, a ripple goes through the whole audience acknowledging how funny it is! If it was the ‘70’s again and they had the technology to do these kinds of stage effects, I bet Fteddie would have loved doing the same things! |

Off stage he collected art enjoyed an inner circle of educated like minded people and lived the life of a wealthy artist. Roger was a genuin Rock star, big country house, a number of expensive cars, boats holiday homes home recording studio etc. Freddie switched on that character for gigs and some interviews, but very quickly became a much quieter person when he wasn't on "duty" |

Isn't it obvious what I would like? Yes, sure, I bet you can see all the audience react during these shows. That's impossible for one thing. Oh dear. You are betting what Freddie would have loved, and I double you know much about the guy. If the only times you are going to post about Freddie is to compare him to AL, and bet Freddie would have loved this and that... STFU. Then again, you are the one here who didn't even understand the big deal about TSMGO. Now you bet Freddie would have loved doing the same things. Freddie's onstage persona changed through the years. One thing that never changed is that the music did the talking instead of relying on the same gimmicks. For years now, AL has been wearing a Coronet, for example. Freddie wore a crown for one tour. If he toured after that, I couldn't imagine him wearing it year after year. AL feels entitled to wear the Coronet for years now. |

To me it seems like too much Queen history keeps one from appreciating the current things going on with Queen. I bet not even 5% of people at the concerts know all the Queen trivia. All that matters to enjoy QAL now is a pair of ears and eyes. You either like the music/concert or you don't. Knowing the history of TSMGO is not a prerequisite! Knowing all that stuff keeps you from enjoying anything (with very few exceptions) QAL related. Not sure that is a good thing! I really don't think Caroline lusts after Adam, A little over the top on your part in saying that?? |

I do enjoy learning about them, I swear for years every day I came online, I learned something new about the band. Sometimes I still do. I'm the type of person who would like to learn more, I always have been. I like back stories, people's experiences regarding the band, and I admit I'm jack shit compared to other fans knowledge. But it's a Queen board I post on here, so I do think it's important about Queen's history. What gets me most of all, is the careless view of sweetcaroline I don't get the big deal about TSMGO as she put it...especially when that song is such an important part of Queens history. Many things are important, I feel. If someone is going to be flippant about that, you bet I will have something to say about it. Yea, she lusts over AL. Her attempt at a thread where she wanted to say AL is so good looking is proof of that, and I've read her posts how gorgeous, sexy etc she thinks he is. Crap like that would be better off on AL's own sites. So, no, I'm not OTT in saying that. She has no qualms about comparing to Trump after all, and that's OTT in my view. What's worse, I say she lusts over AL, or her comparing me to Trump. One of those things is not like the other ;-). |

Another thing that bothers me. AL speaking about Freddie's sexuality. Again. Guardian article this time. Why is he doing it? He can and he sure has talked about his own sexuality, but Freddie's too. Everything from how AL didn't know how in the closet Freddie was from another recent article to AL now saying he has ascertained Freddie was fully bisexual. If AL wants to talk about his own sexuality go for it. Freddie's sexuality should not be, it's not his place. AL is singing Freddie's and Queen's songs, that doesn't make him an expert on Freddie's sexuality. SMH at Adam. |

Well, he didn't say alot, but you should know that when a reporter asks, you can never get away without answering something. It just won't happen, otherwise they will just make something up nowadays. I would be willing to bet the sexuality issue has been discussed at length with Brian and Roger. It would seem strange to me if they hadn't seeing as Adam is gay. I assume what he said would have been something he heard from them. I sam not sure what you found offensive, I thought it sounded pretty straight forward and as a gay man, he probably also has an opinion about that time in gay history and that was also a good part of the initial question, I found his answer thoughtful and nothing offensive or earth shattering. I don't understand why it offends you? |

I sam not sure what you found offensive, I thought it sounded pretty straight forward and as a gay man, he probably also has an opinion about that time in gay history and that was also a good part of the initial question, I found his answer thoughtful and nothing offensive or earth shattering. I don't understand why it offends you?He could have said no. I'm not offended. I'm annoyed to be honest because after all Freddie was a very private person offstage. Freddie isn't here to give his POV or his truth. Why does AL feel entitled to speak about Freddie's sexuality? Because AL is more open about his own? I dunno. |

I don't think much was really said either, not in comparison to what is in most tabloids and even on TV. What Adam said was no different than things I have seen on the internet or in documentaries. There is not much in this world that is private anymore. I saw a bunch of pics on a documentary abiut Queen where they showed scenes from parties, now that was some pretty heavy stuff. If it was a big secret, I am sure that Adam would not reveal anything, but I don't think he said anything earth shattering. It was generic and stuff even I already knew. I am sure Freddie would not be treating his sexuality in this day and age like he did back then, but everyone knew he was gay even then. Where is the private, big secret stuff? Can you find anything else that Adam does that you find offensive? There sure seem to be a lot of things! |

No, I haven't forgotten. Those were Queen shows with Freddie, so of course things were going to be zany, even gimmicky at times. When I watch and listen to Queen live, for me I feel like the things that they did back in the day, took nothing away from the music. Yes, Frank's iconic. Too bad AL takes the piss out of that by the banter about head. I don't find that funny. Queen always evolved, at the age Freddie was that WL is now, I couldn't imagine Freddie riding a bike on stage. The Coronet...is the worst of all. |

I really do think that if Freddie did the things Adam does, you would find it great, because it was Freddie. Freddie acted pretty outrageous on stage and had lots of ridiculous props that were no different and they weren't real or organic just because Freddie did it. They were part of the show to make it more outrageous and fun for the concert goers. There is no difference between the two, as far as gimmicks go. None of the gimmicks take away from the music. The music is pretty much without flaw. QAL is very much invested in the music and the little gimmicks are just for fun !I do agree about the head remark but I am good on all the rest. It is frivolous and fun and reinforce the song that they go along with! |

AL seems at times as f he is in a Broadway show or something. Years now, with the Coronet all that changed about that is a cape added. Even Freddie didn't wear the crown year after year, it was for one tour only. AL's banter...it makes me cringe. The head, bitches, some of that would be better off for his own solo shows. These are not AL shows of course. |

Icy, it may come as a surprise to you, but QAL shows are no longer Freddie shows. Just because Adam sings Freddie's music,(and the other member's music as it is NOT all Freddie's music), does not mean it is still a Freddie show. It is a Brian, Roger, and Adam show since that is who is performing at this point in time. I just read a brand new article and Adam says he has the permission from Brian and Roger to do his show, his way, which is so liberating. He also says, that if they wanted to tell him what to do, he would have said, "yes, Sir". So, this idea that because Adam is singing Freddie's music, he can't do certain things is ridiculous. Bands do switch members and the new band takes on the personality of the new member, just like here. It is no longer the Queen of old (which you know) and it will never be. It is a different time, but I will say that Adam has many similarities to Freddie in vocal range, being gay, loving fashion and other things. There is just a similar vibe that I feel. I don't think anyone else in the world is a better fit for Queen right now. That is why they keep on touring and playing to millions of people. |

Having been at Wembley on Sunday and the o2 last night, I can honestly say those two gigs are the best London shows Queen have played since the 80's The people moaning by in large haven't been to a gig, half of them can't even spell Freddie's name. The energy coming off the stage and in the audience both nights has been amazing. Also the pure joy that Brian, Roger and Adam are experiencing is there for all to see. As Brian says, life is made up of moments, we are all passing through and these moments won't happen again. . . . Opinions are fine, we all have them, and not liking AL's voice is fine, but to rubbish him and deny the band and audience the chance of doing this is ludicrous. Al's voice during who Wants To Live Forever and Under Pressure, alone, is worth going for. |
SweetCaroline 03.07.2018 12:53 |
Also dissing Adam for doing the QAL tours instead of his solo music is ludicrous and ridiculous. These guys are not getting younger except their talent and energy seems to defy that. Adam would be a fool to pass up this golden opportunity with them. Tyler Warren’s tweets show that he, too, is pinching himself that he has been so lucky to be part of these magical gigs. |

People going to the shows don't care about petty things like stage antics, they take it in the spirit it's meant as a bit of fun and not to be taken seriously, they get it. There's nothing embarrassing or disrespectful about what they do and his voice is clearly very listenable to the fans or they wouldn't keep going back for more. Already had the karaoke argument, and anyone who can call him that after hearing his voice knows zilch about singing. Real musicians don't give a damn where someone got their start, they know how hard the music business is to break into, they don't class people off those shows as karaoke if they have talent, Slash sure didn't, he specifically put aside his principles of never going on those type shows just because of Adam. |

Which part of that mentions screeching? And since he specifically asked to mentor on the show to meet Adam because of seeing him in previous weeks, where he "screeched" as you call it, I'm assuming Slash thought he sounded good then or he wouldn't have bothered. One of the songs he improvised most on regards his high register was the first week. Guessing Slash liked it, especially since he's used to that with Axl. |

Thanks Vocal Harmony! You are a true gentleman!! And you are not, Runner. No one is upset that you don't like Adam or QAL. It is just that you are so vile about it! No one expects everyone to like something, but you can say what you think in an intelligent manner and then let it go! Name calling and foolishness does not belong here. |

Lame-Bird is just fitting and has nothing to do with namecalling. He is just L A M E. Sounding like a lil girl, yodeling his annoying vibrato, looking like an overweight ladyboy |

Clearly the more they rave the more you up the name calling, interesting. |

This is for runner 70: My son always says that Freddie was a Thunderbird and Adam is a Lamborghini! |

Did he tell you when you were visiting him in the psychatry or was it when you habd both your free hour to walk around in the garden there? BTW: A Thunderbird is ways cooler than a gay Lambo |

To me he struts around and waves things about in lots of weird outfits and I never found that esp. natural or real. It is just a different way that he commands the stage. He had gimmicks and I hate it when you say they are "real gimmicks". A prop or gimmick is the same, no matter who works with them on stage. I think they are great because they are interesting, but the idea one is more real than the other is silly. Freddie looked anything but real on stage. It was almost as if he were attacking the stage and I told you once, he kind of frightened me when I was a young lady. I am sure he was not like that in real life. Adam and Freddie were acting and putting on a show and each does it in his own way, but neither guy is that stage person in real life. If you notice, Adam will do something really silly on stage and then make a face to the audience and bust out giggling. He knows he is silly and the audience knows it and it is just part of the show. I am sure Freddie was like that, too. A front man for a rock group has to be not only a singer, but a good actor with charisma, which they both have. People are drawn to watch them on stage. That is what made Queen and makes QAL fun to watch and a great concert! And of course, the music and singing have to be stellar, that goes without saying!! Everybody likes something different, which is a good thing!Just reread this while looking for another post. You don't know how I could think Freddie was genuine and real onstage? His talent my dear. Freddie kind of frightened you? I don't even know you are even on a Queen board. For real. And you wonder why I doubt that you are a Queen or Freddie fan. SMH. If someone said AL kind of frightened anyone, you'd be jumping up and down in a rage. |

I’ll say this again, your son must be one fucked up individual. I’m sure he’s loaded with issues. Oh just kidding, but here’s what I really think. I doubt he gives a fuck about Adam Lambert. You probably said to him, “Son, isn’t Adam like a Lamborghini, and Freddie like a Thunderbird?” And he probably said, “yes, Mom” just going with the flow, not caring about Adam or Freddie. He probably listens to Bad Company. |
