Adam Lambert fans need to find a website of there own as they cause too many rows on here and he is not a Queen member, |

happystar wrote: Adam Lambert fans need to find a website of there own as they cause too many rows on here and he is not a Queen member,Well he is a Queen + member and there's a board for that. You've just posted in the wrong board as well, if you keep QAL over there it won't cause as many arguments, just a thought. |

This website is called QUEENZONE get it? Does not mention Queen + whoever. |

happystar wrote: This website is called QUEENZONE get it? Does not mention Queen + whoever.One section of this forum DOES mention Queen+. And you know that. And rightful so, because two of the original members are still touring as Queen. You as the “biggest“ fan of all must have heard about that. It’s not to your taste, but one would think, that a true Queen fan can respect Brian and Roger‘s decision. That doesn‘t mean, you should like it. It means to let them be. |

sealion Queen + is crap and you know it. Queen is purely 1971 to 1991 end of. Thistleboy was not even born when Queen got together and he has never even seen the original band live yet he bitches on here like he knows it all. He has a lot to learn and by the sounds of his posts "vocal harmony" maybe his dad, now that is scary ! |

And no, I don't "bitch" like I know it all. I'm know a LOT but I don't know it all. I'm always open to be educated - and have been many times. But I'll tell you one cunt who won't ever be able to educate me on anything, and that's YOU. Because you're a braindead walloper who knows fuck all about anything - especially whether he's 44 or has been a Queen fan for 44 years. Duh. |

happystar wrote: sealion Queen + is crap and you know it. Queen is purely 1971 to 1991 end of.No, I don‘t. Yes, I thought Queen was over after 1991. And more so after 1997. I didn‘t even care to attend a show with PR. And AL was a no-go until my kids got me tickets for my birthday 3 years ago (Dad is a Queen fan, you know?). After an old friend simply asked me to go and try it, I went with my kids - AND absolutely enjoyed it. No, I’m my opinion Q+AL is great. And since I did see Queen in the old days, you can believe me, that the show is as big as ever. „Only“ the band has changed in parts. By now, I can live with that. To me, the best about these shows is the joy, that I could see on the beaming faces of Brian, Roger and my (teenage) kids. I‘ve never seen the old guys as happy on a stage as they seem to be now. |
| Star* 20.08.2018 15:10 |
Well you know why Brian & Roger are so happy for because Freddie is gone and they can do what they want when they want. Freddie was always in charge and dismissed many of Brian's ideas and he hated that. |

Well John Deacon is the only wise surviving member of Queen and at least he can hold his head up high, were May & Taylor have trashed Queen and stamped on that band that Freddie nourished and cared for. and now anyone can join them on stage like trashy contestants on "Britain's got talent" |

It wasn't Britains got Talent, not that it matters since Adam can sing rings around most people regardless where he found fame and that is all those shows are, a platform to get noticed nothing to do with talent or lack of, you get a multitude of wannabe's mixed in with the odd seriously talented person who can't get a foot in the industry door. But Sealion pointed out the main thing - "To me, the best about these shows is the joy, that I could see on the beaming faces of Brian, Roger and my (teenage) kids. I‘ve never seen the old guys as happy on a stage as they seem to be now." Even Peter Freestone said he'd never seen them so happy. As a fan I get a kick out of seeing that and it's one thing that gets commented on a lot on social media after the shows. |
| Star* 20.08.2018 16:17 |
Again that is your opinion but many many fans do not want anything to do with this limp set up. i am a purist Queen fan always will be and with out Freddie and john that magic is lost forever. |
| Thistle 20.08.2018 21:01 |
Many do want it, though. Queen and AL have been touring almost half as long as Queen did with Freddie, and they appear to sell out their venues every time. It seems they're never off the road, and folk are lapping it up. Not my cup of tea, but I did give it a chance first - and there are many, many die-hard Queen fans who attend on a regular basis because they still want to see Brian and Roger. You prefer the old era, we get it - but there's only so many times you can state your point and it's daft to tell folk they're not really fans because they go along to the new shows. You state elsewhere it's all about sales, and I think the ticket sales with AL speaks for itself. Again, not my cup of tea, but these are the facts in front of you. To each their own! |
| Vocal harmony 20.08.2018 23:34 |
Thistleboy, the line "these are the facts in front of you" is a dangerous thingbto post. Surley you can't have forgotten happystar doesn't like or understand facts |

I'm hoping he takes it on board. I'm gonna lay off him. |
| Star* 21.08.2018 06:40 |
Thistleboy: May i ask do you honestly think Adam would sell as many tickets on his own if Queen were not part of the deal? Vocal Harmony: I do listen and and take on board everyone's facts otherwise i would not reply back, so come on there is no need to blow your own trumpet. |
| dysan 21.08.2018 07:56 |
I think this thread has accurately answered its own question. |
| Thistle 21.08.2018 13:19 |
AL was selling out venues before he joined Queen, but that is not the point, and you've twisted what has been said. You said many fans are not interested. I've shown you many are. There's no real way to take this any further. |
| Star* 21.08.2018 13:36 |
Thsitleboy Yeah i think we should debate this as your always wanting substance in my posts so here goes. You say you think AL would sell out venues on his own well actually i do not because i think the name Queen attracts a lot more people than you give them credit for. May & Taylor are legendary rock musicians and as so attract a lot of peoples attention, Lambert on the other hand has a lot of girls who lust after him as he is supposed to be the ultimate pretty boy. Put the two together and yeah sold out venues. Now we all know Queen do not need AL to sell out but i think Lambert needs Queen very badly for with out them i think he would be stale meat very quickly. |

Nobody said, that Queen doesn‘t attract more people than Lambert. 2. Lambert‘s solo concerts are most often sold out. 3. From a first hand witness: I can tell you, that a Lambert audience is the most diverse I‘ve ever seen. From age 10 to 80, female, male, straight, gay, rock guys and hippies. And everything in between. Oh, and also a whole lot of (male) Queen fans. At least in London. (I accompanied my teenage daughter.) 4. Queen doesn‘t necessarily need Lambert to sell out a big arena. BUT they do need a frontman. Roger and Brian chose him. It works and they are happy. So that‘s it. 5. Why are YOU always dragging his name into your posts in this Queen section? |
| Star* 21.08.2018 14:23 |
sealion you are biased as you are a Lambert fan so your comments are always going to stick up for the cheap singer that he is. It would be nice to hear from those members on here that never get a chance to air there views. Lambert may be your world but he is not a patch on Freddie who incidentally has his name on the rock n roll hall of fame! |

That's you just saying you "don't think". I've just told you that AL does sell out venues when he plays solo shows (which again isn't the point). Your other thread, and this one (partially) talks about whether the ticket prices are worth it, and whether there's a demand for Queen and AL. The fact that they're still on the road, selling out date after date in numerous continents show YES and YES. And Sealion is correct in that his audience is extremely diverse. That's maybe not the answer you want, but it's the answer. Like I say, you can't take that any further. It's just your opinion versus what is fact. |

happystar wrote: sealion you are biased as you are a Lambert fan so your comments are always going to stick up for the cheap singer that he is !And doesn't your comment here show the opposite, an unrational hate (when added to all your other remarks) towards Lambert. Also just because some accompanies his daughter to a show, it doesn't automatically make him a fan. He maybe but he may not be. Another view is the one that I have, I enjoy what Queen and AL do live, but that doesn't make me a fan of his outside that working arangment. |

I only know him through Queen. I‘m a fan of the collaboration. And of Queen. But believe me: I have a whole lot more respect for him than for you. This and the fact, that I really like the current concerts, make me stick up for them. Even, if it is actually senseless, because you don‘t want to hear anything of it. Good luck with attracting other fans to voice their opinion on Lambert concerts versus QAL concerts. Because fans, who are not interested in QAL, won‘t know about the attendance at both. And if they are sensible, they omit to look into a thread, in which‘s topic they aren‘t interested in. Maybe you should start these kind of discussions in the Q+ section. Since you always drag AL into every second post... |
| Star* 21.08.2018 15:03 |
Sealion: yeah i am not one little bit interested in Lambert because he has not done anything worthy of my respect. He sings Queens songs for a living so what? Many tribute bands sing Queen songs and do a better job as i have seen a few, over the years. But you are entitled to your opinion as i am to mine, Horses for courses as they say ! lol |
| Thistle 21.08.2018 15:20 |
Yeah, you are entitled to your opinion. We established that a long time ago and never denied you it. But repeating it over and over again is not adding anything to any discussion or the forum. I'm not having a go, I just don't see the point in you doing it, as we know your stance on the matter. We get it. For the record, AL doesn't just sing Queen songs for a living. He does his own shows, has his own albums, has introduced his own solo stuff into the collaboration and his fans have been introduced to Queen as a result of the collaboration. That's a new fanbase right there for the greatest rock band of all time, and people who appreciate both sides of the story. That's great, imo. Not being funny, but have you thought about just starting a blog? You can air all your views, exactly how you see it all, and it may attract similar minded people who won't debate what you're saying (or ask for your reasons behind statements) - they'll just agree with you. You can start free sites on lots of places. Here's an article on what, where and how....link I'm not saying don't be on here, btw. QZ is a great place for healthy debate and sharing stuff, we don't need to turn it into a stale rant or a place for infighting everyday. |

Thistleboy Maybe i do repeat myself but so do the glamberts and every day especially sweetcaroline , snifflese, rockchic, sealion, and they do not get slated by other Queenzone members. Maybe it should be the minority which are are the Glamberts that should find there own blog as Queenzone was always here before Lambert came on to the scene and i mean we never got snowballed with Paul Rodgers fans clogging this site up did we now? Queenzone for Queen only fans i say ! |
| Thistle 21.08.2018 15:43 |
Look, there's no need to single folk out. They're mostly on the right section for the discussion and only defend AL here when you bring it up. And maybe, just maybe, they are Queen fans also. It's not for you to say they are or they aren't. You have your opinion, but it doesn't make you right. I'm not being funny when I say start a blog. Surely you can see that repeating yourself, and goading them into repeating their views here is just useless and doesn't add anything. I really want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but are you sure you're not purposely just trying to get a rise out of folk? |

Sealion has just pointed out he's a Queen fan and only heard of Adam through the collaboration and doesn't listen to Adam's solo stuff nor follow him outside of the collaboration, that to me doesn't say glambert. I also only heard of him through the collaboration and although I do like some of his solo stuff and do follow him on Twitter since I like to keep up with what's going on with QAL and any promo etc he might be doing I'm not into knowing his every move or what's going on in his private life so I'd hardly class myself as a glambert either. I know you find it hard to believe any Queen fan could be on board with this or like Adam in any capacity but the fact is some do. No one's expecting you to but it's pointless to keep saying anyone who does is a glambert. And it's already been pointed out there's a QAL section for posts about them, it's hardly our fault if people start threads in the wrong section. |

Rockchic: You are a glambert because most of your posts come to Lambert's rescue every time some one goes against him you are there constantly defending him. You are hardly on any other Queen threads but you are 99% on the Lambert threads ! You sound quite embarrassed when i call you a glambert, mind you compared to other artists out there who earn an honest living and not singing other peoples back catalogues you should be. |

I defend him because IMO he get's irrational hate by a few for no good reason. Whether I liked his voice or not or liked him performing with Brian & Roger or not I still wouldn't think bad of him since there's nothing to hate, he's a genuinely decent guy who's nothing but respectful towards the band and Freddie's memory, he has a great personality and is making Brian & Roger happy. I live in the present maybe more than some Queen fans and I admit I don't know all the minutiae about the band so on the Queen threads I don't really have a lot to contribute, although I do read them since I'm always open to learning new stuff about them. I've been a fan of their music since 1974 but I've never really been someone who needed to know every little thing about the band members to appreciate the music. |
| Star* 22.08.2018 16:38 |
Rockchic65 well that is good to know that you have been a Queen admirer as long as myself then. Many Adam fans dismiss the bands past and ignore the amazing things Freddie and Queen achieved in the 20 years they were together. |
