I was watching a very interesting interview with Freddie and Dave Clarke from 1986 chatting about the musical Time and Freddie's involvement in the project and half through Freddie said each and every member is NOT Queen and they are only Queen when the four band members get together as a band whether it is in the recording studio or on the stage, so how will that affect the QAL fans now, we have heard from the horses mouth just what i thought all along Queen is NOT Queen without 4 band members and two band members does NOT make it Queen, Freddie said it so do not knock me. |
| Sebastian 15.10.2018 15:39 |
Brian also said it... but people are allowed to change their minds. If you're not interested in the collaboration with Adam, don't buy their tickets, posters, physical or digital releases, etc. Simple as that. |
| Vocal harmony 15.10.2018 15:42 |
Indeed he did, but he also said in other interviews that the other three had the ability to function without him. That Queen could be Queen without him, that no one wanted to leave in case things carried on without that persons involvement. All those were things Freddie said about him or anyone else leaving. Also on one of the DVD documentaries ( I can't recall which at the moment) when talking about Mr Bad Guy which he and CBS were expecting to sell in huge quantities he talks about leaving the band and going on to another phase of his career. When Ian Gillan left Deep Purple they found David Coverdale (who by the way hadn't seen the inside of a recording studio before joining them, Fish was replaced in Marrilion by Steve Hogarth, David Lee Roth by Sammy Hagar in Van Halen, Ozzy By Ronnie James Dio in Sabbath, all those guys left bands and were replaced and got on with careers away from the bands they were in. Roger Waters left Pink Floyd then threw everything out the pram when Floyd carried on withou him, are you saying that Freddie would have acted like a complete fool had he known (or had he left and been replaced). I think not. And before you mention Led Zeppelin, they have a long history of failed reunions some of which never got past talking, some never got past a small number of rehearsals and some got as far as one off gigs |
| dave76 15.10.2018 16:16 |
He said the same thing in Rio in 1985. He is not the leader of the band. He is just the lead singer. Freddie loved to be extravagant but he never saw himself as the leader. To him everyone were equal members. I love Freddie for that. |
| Star* 15.10.2018 16:23 |
The point of this thread is to just point out that the magical ingredients as Freddie pointed out is Queen is not Queen in any shape or form if the four quartet are not together so even if May & Taylor have carried on there limp career playing the hits it is not Queen. They cannot recapture that magic and ambience that was once Queen, those four guys who were a complete unit and today only two remain but we all know it will never top what the four of those guys had from 1971 to 1991. |
| MercurialFreddie 15.10.2018 17:02 |
It was very interesting what he said precisely about Queen and the distinctive sound it needs and the particular sound of each of the group members. Sure, technically, Queen could and in a way is functioning without Freddie. But without him Queen lost not only the voice, but all the tremendous features which his musicianship consisted of. Writing lyrics, composing songs, studio-production...etc etc. Brian and Roger just can't hold it all anymore and after MiH it was clearly evident that they couldn't. Then the question arises: what is harder ? To go out there and play old songs live or to go into the studio and try and compose some new brilliant music? People will always expect on a new Queen album Freddie's voice. That's why, even though RT is calling that sort of work "scrapping the barrel", they should polish unreleased / nearly completed tracks from the 1972-1991 and put out something good. Believe it or not, but when they released Let Me In Your Heart Again it was played on every radio station in Poland. If there is version of Fun It sung entirely by Roger, can we assume that there is a version with Freddie, singing all the vocals? |

Real Wizard Freddie has spoken and you surely you are not that thick to dismiss what the man is saying here. Queen are not Queen if 4 are not there as a group, has that not registered in your head yet??? Any worthy Queen fan knows the magic is lost "live" now. It is not in my head because Freddie has spoken and said so stamp your feet all you want but you have lost this argument. |
| FunLovinCriminal 15.10.2018 20:31 |
I never knew that Queen ever had anything magical attached to them. They were never friends really and a lot of what they produced musically and publicity-wise was very much calculated. How that could have come across as 'magical' mysteriously eludes me. |
| Nathan H 15.10.2018 20:57 |
I see your point Mr Right but that's at a time when they could all perform in Queen. Freddie wasn't ill then so you can understand why Freddie said that as there wasn't a reason stopping either of them from not performing. But obviously Freddie can't now and John doesn't want to. Brian and Roger never quit and because they perform Queen hits why should they form a new group with a new title to perform Queen hits? I'll keep it short: Adam Lambert isn't in Queen, he sings with Queen. |

They've made it plain in every interview that they're simply out there playing their music live for the fans who still want to see them play, that it's a collaboration and that they didn't want an imitator or to try to replicate what they had with Freddie. |
| Makka 16.10.2018 06:15 |
What don't people understand?? Brian and Roger are musicians. Playing music is what they enjoy and they do it well, even now they're in their later years. Adam Lambert has given them the chance to continue playing the music that has been a part of them for most of their lives and many people are enjoying it. They will never capture the essence of the band again when Freddie & John were in it and they're not trying to. They are keeping the music alive and new generations are discovering and enjoying listening to them. Fucken good on them I say and I hope it continues for a few more years yet. Whether you like Adam Lambert or not he's one of the few who can do these songs somewhat justice. We all know he's not Freddie. Fucken let them live their lives how they want and enjoy playing music. |
| Star* 16.10.2018 10:17 |
Yous people are missing the point here, what Freddie was saying is that the Queen sound would never be maintained if all four members were not present , Again he stipulates that Queen only exists when the band members perform together, that sound those harmonies etc........ Yes we know May & Taylor remain defiant by calling the band Queen but really that is a false representation as all 4 members are not on that stage. They keep the name Queen because it is a money making name people know, but physically it certainly is not Queen as we knew them. Freddie is correct in what he says and if you disagree then that is your problem. |
| The Fairy King 16.10.2018 12:16 |

You have given ONE quote that Freddie said ONCE, yet choose to ignore the concrete evidence that people have countered you with - also quotes from Freddie and the rest of the band. Freddie might have said that, once. He might have meant it at he time, i.e that whilst 4 members existed, those 4 members would be Queen. He didn't say that the band couldn't ever exist without him when he was gone. What he said could have been tongue-in-cheek, as he was known for a sharp sense of humour. It could even have been a quick answer to satisfy a line of questioning at the time. Thing is, people sometimes say things that they mean at the time, but later change their minds. Some people just rip the piss. Taking ONE quote and using it to suit your (extremely tedious) agenda, whilst others have shown you concrete counters that were said AFTER that, shows how much you just don't get. You're slow and repetitive. Give it a rest now. |

They're fully-grown adults (unlike some QZ people) and are entitled to do whatever they want, as long as it's legal (it is) and as long as it's not deliberately hurting anybody (it isn't). Those who aren't interested can refrain from attending those concerts and buying whatever they release, there's no need to moan about it and (pathetically and unsuccessfully) try to persuade others to boycott the partnership. By the way, doing stuff for money and not giving a toss naysayers was Frederick's favourite activity... so, in that way, they're certainly honouring his memory. |
| RS_Protos 16.10.2018 15:35 |
Yes, they can do whatever they want and I don't buy concert tickets and buy anything related to Q"+", it's just the bull sh_t crap like "Freddie would approve" or it's about music etc when it's clearly about money. None of my business to boycott but it is pathetic. |
| Sebastian 16.10.2018 16:10 |
I don't know if Brian and Roger would know whether or not Frederick would approve. I do know we don't know. And, even if it were all about the money, so what? They're not forcing anybody to buy their releases or pay to see their concerts - they're being honest enough to market something without forcing it down anybody's throats. They're being way, way, way more sincere than those who actually grow rich from stealing, manipulating or spreading lies - for instance, corrupt politicians, mafia bosses and religious leaders. |

EVERYBODY here knows that Queen + Adam Lambert is not the same company (Yes, company) as it has been 1971 - 1991. The brand owners can do whatever they want with the name Queen. And as long as they are selling out the same venues as U2 and Metallica, what they do in my City, the success seems to be in their side. |

Brian & Roger also said Queen were done after Freddie died, but time moves on and things change, they love performing and are having fun as are the people at the shows.

Made in Heaven is a good proof that not the 4 members of Queen have to be together to create something that some people call magic. Even more when you consider that most of the work has been done by Bri, Rog an John seperately and not together. |

Vocal Harmony Dont make me laugh, you never wasted any time jumping on the band wagon when this thread came on here you attacked straight away and you know you are the one who lacks basic knowledge in rock music. Queen have been more successful than most rock groups and Deep Purple do not come near to the sheer talent of all four Queen members, you are a laughing stock. Queen are the greatest rock n roll band in the world, and that was also said by Peter Hince who was a Roadie for Queen from 1976. He would shoot you all down in flames on here because you all talk utter crap. |

Actually the context for what Freddie said, in the Dave Clark interview, was that he was asked if he was bringing the Queen sound to Dave Clark’s musical, and he said no, Queen is all four together. Meaning that he Freddie, alone, was not the Queen sound. He wasn’t making a comment about what the other 3 togother were, or what Bri and Rog alone would be. Now one could infer. But what he was actually saying was I Freddie am just Freddie, not Queen. (And I know that Freddie was not in the cast of the musical but did some recordings for Dave Clark’s record Time.) I don’t particularly care for Adam Lambert as a singer, from what I have heard, but Bri and Rog can do what they want with their lives, and people can go see them with AL or not, as they wish. And Bri and Rog can call themselves Queen + or The Peasants Revolt for all I care. I think people have figured out by now that they’re not getting Freddie. :-/ |

Gallileo 1564 Yeah we all know the drivel May & Taylor have on offer and nothing new there, i just wish they had gone on the road as just a pair of rock musicians and no need for anyone to take Freddies lead vocal, and at least that way we would have no feuds on here, You did hear what Freddie said about the Queen sound and that it can only come to life if the four of them get together on that stage or in a recording studio, other wise it just does not work. It is a bit like Jeff Lynn after he left ELO the band was not the same as it was and we all associated Jeffs voice as ELO and the same with Freddie such a recognisable voice and the harmonies are typically Queen as Freddie used them as his trade mark with the others. |

After all, Roy Wood the original founding member left many years ago. Kelly Groucutt who was a major part of the bands vocal sound from the mid 70's through to the 80's left (and unfortunately not with us anymore). Bev Bevan left mid 80's. There were so many lineup changes in the band over the years but they still performed as ELO. (Not talking about ELO II or Orkestra). |

Haven't read the whole thread - I will do though - but my take is that Freddie was very generous when it came to the chaps doing their own thing, as he also found it necessary to do his own thing. With the current set of circumstances (IE him being dead) I'm sure if he is able to look down he'd be OK with it. They celebrate Freddie. He'd be fine with it. |
| Star* 18.10.2018 09:13 |
Im sure if Freddie was looking down at the other two Queenies he would say it was ridiculous. Freddie once said he would never want to perform on the stage running around as an old man so god knows what he would say about Roger and Brian still at it and Brian in his 70s now! |

There's a lot of musicans in their 70's still touring, Mick Jagger (75), Paul McCartney (76), Rod Stewart (73) should they all have to retire as well? Who gets to set this arbitrary age that someone should give up doing what they love at? |

Mr Right a.k.a. Gerry has taken a disturbing turn. If you want to have a disturbing bit of insight into what's going on here, go back to page one and read Gerry's posts, all of them, from there - but pretend that when he writes Queen he means "my religion" and when he writes Freddie he means "Jesus". This is not music fandom. It is not trolling. It is not even homophobia or habitual conservatism. This is religious fanaticism. |

When you're in your 30s it's easy to say you will not perform on stage anymore when you are in your 50s. Mr. Right do you never ever change your opinion? Do you stick to things you said 20+ years ago in a conversation? I am quite sure Freddie took things pretty easy in interviews and would have said things differently if he had known what people do with this. In the book A LIFE IN HIS OWN WORDS you find the quote I like leather. I love to see myself as black Panther. SHOULD BRIAN, ROGER AND JIM KNOW TRY TO MAKE PEOPLE REMEMBER FREDDIE AS BLACK PANTHER??? |

I question whether or not you are in a position to call out journalists and others for verbally attacking Freddie's sexual orientation given that you've said the same and worse about Adam Lambert and his following and those of us who have enjoyed the current touring line up. Rather than post a rational educated and mature answer you were your predictable self and posted a couple of insults then went on a one man crusade against everyone who doesn't share your opinions. Deep Purple, along with many other bands had members who were/are more accomplished musicians then the members of Queen. That is very different to saying Queen were not a brilliant band. Don't worry I know who Ratty is, I've spoken to him about lots of music not just Queen. Thankfully he has a mature open mind, unlike you. |

So stop rewriting history with your bullshit you clueless dumbass Mercury's solo album got a 3x bigger cash advance than the previous Queen album did. Do you honestly think he was at the peak of his humility when that went down? He was quoted saying he thought he could make an album as good as Thriller. Quincy Jones went through 500 songs for Thriller and chose the best nine. Mercury wrote about 15. Vocal Harmony's argument is perfectly reasonable. Had Mercury's album been a hit, it's entirely possible that he would've left the band. Queen were in inner turmoil by 1985, and it's not far fetched to suggest that they were considering calling it quits at the end of the Works tour anyway. Roger is quoted saying their show had become stale by then. They went to most gigs in separate limos. It was all work. The cohesion and camaraderie of the 1973-77 period was long behind them. The combination of Mr Bad Guy's commercial failure and Bob Geldof's phone call saved Queen, without a doubt. The band have done well in telling revisionist history to cover up how bad things were behind the scenes from 1982 to 85. But make no mistake - things were bad. |

And remember, Peter Freestone said, they had a meeting to talk about the future of the band after live aid. Roger, Brian and John said him Paul Prenter was not good for him. Freddie left Prenter given a lot of money and later Prenter sold Freddie to The Sun the next year. I think, if Mr. Bad Guy was a hit, Queen will separate it without any doubt. Even was a gossip about Limahl as new singer of Queen. I don't think Brian, Roger and John thought in Limahl, but who knows what they were thinking at that moment of the story. Talking about that, Roger said to Pelo (argentine rock magazine) something like that "Queen are four members, if one of us left the band, we left the band together". |

And of course, writing that on a Queen forum will get hardcore nutjobs to say "ZOMG QUEEN ARE THE GREATEST EVER, YOU'RE NOT A REAL QUEEN FAN." But removing that emotional attachment from one's favourite band - the guys in Deep Purple had better chops. The guys in Yes were a step beyond Deep Purple. The jazz fusion bands like Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra were a step beyond Yes. And nowadays there are 16 year olds on YouTube who destroy all of them. But that's just chops. Whether or not that matters for creating music to one's taste is another thing, as plenty of great songs have 3 chords. The chops vs musicality debate is an endless wormhole. |

Just because they formed a band years ago doesn't mean they have to be beholden to people for every single thing they do in life and every decision they make.

Good on them I say and whilst they are enjoying the ride I hope it keeps going.Mr Right wrote: Respect for the pride of the band, because Queen have trashed themselves now and have no respect for leaving the bands memory the way it was, instead Queen have now opened a new chapter which has achieved absolutely nothing apart from make them a lot of money singing there hits with a reality nobody, where is the sense in that? They have not recorded any new music since Paul Rodgers was with them and that speaks volumes.Contrary to your strange view of the world they don't actually owe you any new music and they really don't need permission to go out and enjoy themselves playing the music they helped to create in the first place. Just because they formed a band years ago doesn't mean they have to be beholden to people for every single thing they do in life and every decision they make. They're having fun, the fans at the shows are having fun, they're at an age where a lot of people have already retired, whatever they choose to do now should be done for enjoyment, they've paid their dues long since IMO. How would you like people expecting you to continue working at something you didn't want to do when you get to 70? And in my own opinion, I don't want any new music from them with Adam Lambert. They shouldn't of done an album with Paul Rodgers. A couple of good tracks but mostly shit. Leave the Queen catalogue as it is. I'd like to see them do some more solo stuff or Brian & Roger together, but not under the Queen name. |

Mr Right wrote: Goodco The Beatles split up yeah, and there was no attempt to replace Paul they just split up. No ridiculous replacements for Paul they gracefully spilt and Queen should have done the same.THEY SPLIT UP. They had enough, they went as far as they could as a band. One of the main song writers left. They hadn't toured for years, because they made a decision not to. No one left Queen. They didn't split up. Freddie died, John retired after doing a number of Queen related things in the 90's, he didn't leave to go and work with another band or make solo albums. Comparing The Beatles situation with what happened with Queen further shows your lack of knowledge and understanding. |

They're not disrespecting 'the pride of the band'. They're - presumably - proud of what they're doing: performing good music to large audiences around the world, making thousands of people happy (including themselves). That's something to be proud of. Just because they're not doing exactly what some random person (myself included) would like them to do, it doesn't mean they're being disrespectful or dishonest, etc. |

They can make good music but just do not call it Queen because its not. Queen no longer exists as a complete band. Would you still call The Beatles by that name if Ringo starr wanted three new people to take the place of George Paul & John? There would be hell on by Beatles fans guaranteed. |

If The who did it without Moon...Queen could do it, and have done it. No one compares with The Beatles...I rather compare Bands like Sabbath and The Who/ACDC with Queen...All have went on with different musicians when their Iconic member left or died. It's really pretty common for bands to do this. |

It doesn't matter whether I would call them that or not, what matters is whether or not *they* would choose that moniker. |

@Mr Right - You didn't answer my question in regards to your ELO comment. Do you think Jeff Lynne should be touring as ELO even though he's the only original member left? No Roy Wood or Bev Bevan & Richard Tandy is not playing with him anymore. Not to mention the other classical players that rotated through the band. Kelly Groucutt was a major part of the ELO vocal sound throughout the 70's and 80's but unfortunately no longer with us. |

Do you masturbate to him, and get upset when he doesn't answer your idiotic questions? Why do you listen to him if he upsets you so much? I don't like country music or bluegrass, but do you see me post anything related to them here? Why do Richard and YV allow you and r70 to continually poison this forum? I'll bet if I called one of them ONE of the names you two use towards respected members of this board, that I would be banned for life. I would lower myself and use your 4th grade language towards you, but I just can't put that stupid into my brain. btw...yet again, how in the hell would Ringo have carried on 'The Beatles'?

If I don't like something, I avoid it, and rarely comment on it (other than you). What is your obsession with him? You could save yourself a stroke by taking up basket weaving (unless that is what you do at your group home as an activity, or to stay out of trouble in your parents' basement), or learn a skill...such as English composition or music history. You would greatly benefit from these endevours. |

Your anger only makes Adam stronger. 'Gift from God' comment: Imagine if you wanted to cook baked beans, but you didn't have a saucepan. You tell a pal, who happens to work for a saucepan making firm. They say 'just keep them in the tin and put the whole tin on the stove and cook them like that'. You be like 'amazing! I hadn't thought of that... now I can have my beans'. You tell your pal their idea was like 'a gift from God'. You don't mean it was born of the divine and put on this earth to lead man as the saviour or humanity, you are just using a common term to express slightly exaggerated happiness that you are enabled to continue with your plan of eating beans. Your pal won't harbour a massive grudge that you've forsaken saucepans. They'll be pleased you are happy and had your beans and after this episode will continue with your life as normal. You might buy a saucepan in the future, but it's not a big deal if you don't. Indeed, remembering this incident they might buy you one as a present. A nice friendly gesture - or it may become a little joke you enjoy together going forward. It's enhanced your friendship. |

Where you get this Geordie rumour from i do not know as i do not live in Newcastle. Adam is a complete joke and his voice is nowhere as natural as Freddie's voice.

Mr Right wrote: Freddie trained his own incredible voice and taught himself piano, that is what i call a genius.Plenty of professional singers seek vocal lessons, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. If Mercury did so, it wouldn't make him less of a genius. If anything, he loses points for not seeking lessons, as his inability to take care of his voice often hampered his performances (sometimes entire tours). You can count the number of times he sang We Are The Champions properly on one hand. Both Marc Martel and Adam Lambert, on the other hand, are able to sing all of the songs exactly like the albums every night for years on end. Any professional singer is wise to keep a good coach on the payroll. There are also 8 year old self-taught pianists on YouTube who are better than Mercury was. He performed at about a grade 4 level, which is acceptable for most pop-oriented music. He also took piano lessons as a child, as stated in countless biographies. He was indeed a genius, but you don't seem to understand why. Of course you're going to come back with some kind of personal attack towards me and the last few people who handed your ass to you, but deep down it really must suck to know that virtually everything you say results in people smarter than you pointing out how wrong you are. |
| Sebastian 25.10.2018 02:42 |
And he did take some lessons, if only briefly. That doesn't automatically invalidate his growth as a (mostly self-taught) singer, the same way someone who's been schooled is not by any means 'less talented' that someone who hasn't. |

I'll answer it for you, you bought the music etc, it doesn't make them your Queen. The Paul Rodgers thing ended in 2009. They had no plans to tour again, as Queen. They found Lambert through Spike Edney, it all fell into place, making it possible for them to tour again, as I said, maybe you should get your facts right! As regard voices and lessons, yes Freddie had an amazing voice which he failed to look after and therefore was unable to use to it's full potential on stage regularly. I was listening to the 82 Sebou Lions concert last night, Freddie's voice on parts of that are shot, and that's not the worse live vocal performance that exists. But compare that to the shows Lambert has played with them, he has never sounded anywhere near that bad, the same goes for Paul Rodgers. Freddie had piano lessons as has been explained to you already, Mr know all |

Actually Mr. Right, happystar, etc, way back there on page 4 you missed my point. Freddie was saying he alone wasn’t Queen. He wasn’t offering any opinion on what the others should call themselves if they went on tour without him, if he had to leave the band for some reason. You’re trying to claim that Freddie agrees with you. And unless the soul lives on after death and you have psychic powers, then you have no idea what he would think. And you’re making a right mess of this forum. And I’m only saying all this because you appear to think I’m an ally of yours because I don’t want to go see Q + AL. And who knows, maybe I would really enjoy the show if I went? I was just saying from what I’ve heard on YouTube, I don’t care for AL’s voice. Maybe I would like it more live. There’s quite a few who’ve posted that they enjoyed the show more than they expected to. |

Mr Right still never responded to my posts about ELO which he brought up in this thread either. We all get your opinion Mr Right which is your choice, you don't have to bash it down everyone else's throats. Some agree with you and some don't, I personally don't as it's up to Brian & Roger what they do. They're having fun and have kept Queen's music and name alive. As Galileo1564 pointed out, I wasn't fussed on seeing AL with Queen but have seen them twice now, because I wanted to see and hear Brian & Roger. It was a lot better than I expected and 1000 times better than you hear on YouTube. It's time to let this one go Mr Right because abusing everyone who disagrees with you is just crap. Move on! |
| Galileo1564 29.10.2018 04:47 |
Makka, there’s so many examples of bands replacing members and going on with the same name. My sister is a massive Styx fan since the 70s, and they lost 3 band members but still tour as Styx and she still goes. OK 2.75. They haven’t lost Chuck Panozzo completely, but he is living with HIV and only appears sometimes. Yes, the drugs work, but people don’t always feel great on them especially if they had advanced disease before starting. Examples of such bands have been mentioned and Mr. Right/Mr. Wrong, well, brings to mind something I once heard from a wise man. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. |

Galileo1564 Sure many bands go on to replace band members but Freddie was the heart and soul of Queen, the Queen sound was him, regal, royal and flamboyant, Anybody cannot suddenly jump into Mercury's shoes and carry on the band as though nothing has happened but that is entirely what Queen + is doing. Freddie always said never accept second best and i never do because i probably appreciate the original Queen line up more than most on this site and i am not going to worship anyone who is not better than Freddie on that stage. |

There is no point in trying to educate that prick. If Freddie was the Queen sound, then why did his solo albums not sound like Queen? Meanwhile, Smile's output was beginning to have that early Queen sound... Gerry, you do realise that Freddie can be your favourite, but still accept the facts that are there for you to see, right? |

Its not a competition and its nothing like Queen either. Don't get clever and say its Queen+ either, it is genuinely awful. They have turned into a tribute band of themselves. Sure there will be folk who are not bothered who fronts Queen, but i do not take second hand trash from a west end screacher like Lambert. He thinks all us fans should be grateful he gets Queen back on the road, well f*ck that loser, Queen could quite happily go on the road by themselves and you will find Adam needs Queen more than Queen needs Adam. |

Also the collective writing talents of each member didn't exist either. It was all Freddie. I'm looking forward to you publishing your book in which you explain that Queen were a myth, that none of the members of the band ever existed and everything was Freddie. Or maybe we'll have to accept there will be no book, that you can't prove any of it and you are in fact just stupid. |

Do you think I'm going to sit back and allow that, or do you think I'm going to give back what you dish out? You've been banned umpteen times here and have had several posts deleted because you're a dipstick of the highest order.

I wouldn't agree to meeting you if you ever escaped, but not through fear - it would be taking liberties hitting you. If you want this to stop, you're the one who needs to issue the apology. I've already tried being nice and sincere with you, but your attitude doesn't deserve it.

Brian & Roger could easily have done something as a pair or go solo again and do something more productive than performing the Queen back catalogue with a pretty boy. |

They can't handle it. Rather, Roger can't handle it. Brian *might* be okay, but not on a long tour - note that he had been taking it easier for a while with Kerry Ellis. Roger is fucked. I reckon (i.e I have a hunch, not fact) he uses oxygen tanks throughout shows like Meat Loaf did - and remember that Rufus lightened the load for a while too. Singing wise, voices are getting older and they ain't as fit. |

Brian and Roger can sing full concerts. Look at Frankie Valley... 84 years old! And Chuck Berry was touring until the year before he died in his mid-90’s! I know Roger and Brian aren’t as experienced singing as much as them, but they’ve got enough of it. I love the idea of them doing new solo albums and touring. I’d go see them! I’m too embarrassed to see them tour with Adam Lambert, I honestly can’t stand that man’s voice. |
| Makka 08.11.2018 07:10 |
But the only way they could do it would be solo stuff and the odd Queen song. Their voices can't handle a lot of the Queen catalogue anymore and a lot of them they couldn't anyway. |
| MisterCosmicc 08.11.2018 07:46 |

1. Jeff Scott Soto ... WHO? Not a rock star. Rock & roller maybe, but not a rock star. 2. Meatloaf isn't a rock star ( link ). He loves Freddie Mercury, he also loves Adam Lambert... from what I've seen, he never gave a review of Queen performing with Adam Lambert and his view on it. 3. Dee Snider seems too nice to say anything bad about anyone, he's an obsessed Queen fan. He models his songs off of Queen songs. He'd promote a single by Brian, Roger, and Adam farting repeatedly on record. He also likes to release solo albums as Twisted Sister albums. 4. Alice Cooper... too friendly with the band to get a good opinion. Despite his 'horror' crap, he's too nice of a guy to say anything bad about much of anything. 5. Joe Elliot and Rick Savage... They probably get free weekly Queen + Adam Lambert shirts in the mail. |

They probably get free weekly Queen + Adam Lambert shirts in the mail.I've seen others but no matter who I said you'd have an answer. Depends what you consider a rock star? Only people who've made it massive like Queen? JSS is a hard rock/metal singer and has worked with some big names but hasn't had huge mainstream success but that shouldn't void his opinion on music. Meatloaf was known as a rock star back in the day even if he himself doesn't think that but so far as I know he hasn't commented on their show. Don't know that much about Dee tbh. Alice said he first saw Adam on Idol and instantly said he should be the new singer, in fact I think he was one of the one's who phoned Brian and told him about Adam. He'd no need to even mention him before they got together if he wasn't impressed. While Joe & Rick saw them in Ireland and Vegas and may have been given free T shirts I doubt they'd wear them over a Queen only T shirt at their gigs just because they were free. This is what Joe had to say after seeing them in Ireland. "For me the absolute highlight of last Saturdays show at the 3Arena in Dublin was Queen and Adam Lambert playing that song. Unbelievable. The lights, the lasers, the sound, the performances of everybody on stage was absolutely top notch. If you haven't got a ticket yet, go see these guys. Legends of course we all know that. Adam Lambert will be the first to stand up and say he's no Fred, but my goodness one of the best live vocals I've ever heard. And Rick Savage who was sat next to me said exactly the same thing. Was Adam Lambert last week in Dublin." link |

Adam's done short solo shows with no fancy lights and gimmicks etc but then for most of them the audience were his own fans so they're predisposed to love him whatever. I guess it's a question that may never be answered. |

Also Freddie had a totally different way of performing, he kind of demanded your attention in a larger than life, powerful way that Adam doesn't have. In Live Aid especially it was like he took it to another level, I honestly couldn't see anyone topping that now or even coming close tbh. |
| dysan 08.11.2018 14:03 |
Also Live Aid was very of it's time. The world was watching. These days you get global streaming of gigs pretty much every night. Remember Queen playing live on BBC New Years Eve gig 2012 / 13 was it? I'd say that was a comparable event. No one talks about that. |

He doesn't just turn up and sing he has input into the shows and puts the work in like everyone else and I'm sure he's paid well for it but that's not being a gold digger that's just good business sense. |

As to how long he'll carry on for he said in interview last year he'd carry on while ever they want him to so I guess that will be down to B & R and how much longer they can physically carry on. He's managed to have both careers simultaneously up to now and I don't see that changing, he likes to be busy. |

He might not be as well known over here but I really don't see why that matters, it's not the deciding factor in having a long career and I'll guarantee he's around as long as he want's to be, might not be topping the music charts but there's plenty of other things he can be doing in entertainment and he's said before he wants to diversify. |

Lambert and Martel are destined to compete with each other for the title of Queen Karaoke King. Martel has already made a start by releasing an album of Queen classics and when Maylor eventually call it a day, Lambert will do the same. Lambert will sell himself as 'singer with the real Queen' and Martel will sell himself as 'handpicked by Queen'. As the decades roll by they'll both be in huge demand and make alot of money. They'll star in various productions featuring Queen music, they'll appear on the same tv shows singing Queen songs and have their own tours performing Queen songs. Still just karaoke though, isn't it? |

As much as you wouldn't like the idea, I think it's likely that in his 70's Freddie would have left the band years before and certainly wouldn't be touring. If Queen were defunct Roger may very well have still set up the Queen extravaganza and Brian and Roger way still have found Lambert and decided to tour in Freddie's absence.

There's quite a few former contestants from those type shows who now have jobs as presenters etc, getting known is the point of those shows but it's what you make of the opportunity it affords you that counts, they're just door openers. Adam has a great work ethic and he's tough so I very much doubt he would have let it slip through his fingers once he got that door open. |
