flash00. wrote: I have been thinking the same thing for a long time with regards to Brian Roger and Adam, AL dresses exactly the same as the cast from We Will Rock You musical, he is not camp he is more like a full on drag queen in a tribute band, is that why he never works the whole stage in case he trips in his high heel shoes or is it swollen ankles?, what really annoys me is how Brian kisses AL's backside worshiping him but cringed and whinged about any slightest camp leaning of any of Freddie's music i.e Hot Space album. Someone can correct me if I am wrong but i have not seen one interview from Brian paying any form of a compliment towards Freddie i.e his voice or music or calling Freddie a gift from god or anything really while Freddie was alive. But now he seems perfectly fine with the band being extremely gay like it's a cabaret show and not a rock concert I think Adam knows Brian and Roger are nothing without him and is basically taking advantage of the situation i.e totally 100% drag band ha ha and a paycheck gig because AL's solo work has flopped big time where are all his loyal fans? and Brian's constant tripe about we are dangerous on stage is hilarious talk about head up his own backside, Queen was a dangerous on the edge of your seat band before Freddie passed away that is 100% fact but no way are they even 10% dangerous as AL's drag tribute band, like others have said the same stories the same one liners is an insult and patronizing to fans they are like robots just wanting cash. I still say Brian is only using AL and does what he's told also till he's done with touring then they'll drop him like a sack of shit

How is this any different from Queen in 1977 ? Listen to a half dozen bootleg recordings before you answer with anything other than "it isn't." "And maybe next time we'll bring back an orchestra" - every night. They had the costume changes choreographed too. It was pure Liza Minnelli. Mercury mentioned her influence on him plenty of times. Have you seen the outfits and the makeup they all wore? There's even video of them putting it on, for crying out loud. It's funny how so many people claim to be Queen fans but know so little about them or music in general. Queen was musical theatre long before 2019. Hell, look at the song structures - half their big hits aren't of the verse/chorus format. BoRhap, Best Friend, Crazy, Under Pressure, Break Free. Straight from musical theatre.

Queen back in 1977 were a much better an focused band than they are now and they had Freddie making the band bigger and greater where ever they went, shame on you to suggest they are the same now as they were back then in 1977. You are not a Queen fan if you honestly believe that utter crap. Peter Hince was at Freddie's side every night and even he knows half a Queen band now is crap with Adam Lambert.

I'm not saying they are *the same*. I'm saying that this PARTICULAR ASPECT of what they do - the musical theatre influence - has not changed in 40 years. Instead of being emotionally triggered by your hatred of people you've never met, perhaps you could learn to read.

Peter Hince was at Freddie's side every night and even he knows half a Queen band now is crap with Adam Lambert.

Brian May was at Freddie's side for much longer, and he thinks it's just dandy. Saying my point is "utter crap" without actually addressing anything I said isn't going to convince anyone that your IQ is above room temperature. Spoiler alert - Hince's view resonates with you not because he's right, but because it is closer to your own. Your little mission here is motivated by confirmation bias combined with infantile and jingoistic ideas of discourse where you assert that everyone who disagrees with you isn't an actual Queen fan like you. I've set my expectations really low here, as I don't expect any of this to make any sense to you.

And once again you resort to personal insults and swearing when you've got nothing else, and worse still you're completely wrong I've been following Queen since 1974 and it seems I know more than you, for example I know the difference between an opinion about them and an actual fact, Ratty has an opinion and that's his prerogative, doesn't make it a fact though. Phoebe has a different opinion and he knew Freddie probably more than Ratty so should we take his opinion as fact? Between you and not so happy you spend far more time going on about Adam than his fans do, he spends his time trawling the internet for posts to back up his ridiculous theories and posting inane pictures and you spend yours trawling here and facebook to bat down anyone who likes the current line up, pretty sad really.

Being gay is a lot more accepted now than in the 70's/80's, Freddie couldn't be fully open but Adam can, different times.

It is no secret that there were homophobic tendencies within the band mainly from May towards Freddie. That's what MACK said in his last radio interview and I believe him

flash00. wrote: I'm still laughing at BM home made robot outfit made from cornflakes boxes and a mask made from a used tin foil take away tray, he definitely looked dangerous in fact he looked insane. His ego has got ridiculously out of hand he needs to pull his head out his backside and give it a wipe because he was and still is jealous of Freddie and most people know it he wanted to be everything Freddie was and still does. AL is a drag queen and getting worse with it by every show possibly this is why his music is not doing very well every bloody song sounds the same. They are 100% not a rock band they are a mash up of mixed musicians in a cabaret tribute band. My opinion changed towards BM after that interview with the poor guy he spoke to like he was shit on his clog he showed no respect to the young man who sat there and looked humiliated by this millionaire rock star who threw a tantrum, at his bloody age all because the questions were not exciting enough for Mr May I don't buy in to this fake mr nice guy front anymore, many a man would of knocked him clean out for his tantrum if BM has a major problem with the whole media machine he could of changed jobs and gone and dug roads for a living see how those boring questions and tantrums don't seem that bad anymore, would he of treated a fellow divine celebrity this way? nope because we all know he drools over celebrities who say they like Queen he must have no confidence in his own music. Peter Hince is correct with his opinion and by the way BM and RT huffed it goes to show how childish and over sensitive they are, will Brian treat Sharon Osborne the same way over her personal attack on Brian and Rog? or just drool over his clogs. He must be grinding his teeth when AL is doing his drag act in his chubby high heels i personally think AL is taking the piss with this hard cabaret act knowing BM and RT have to put up with it with a grin on stage or the whole cabaret tour is finished, If AL is a gift from god why will RT and BM not record an album with him? it's because it would 100% taint there legacy and back catalogue, the three of them could always make a cabaret album a tribute to drag queens or cabaret NASA the possibilities are endless, now where was I oh yes Brian's robot outfit a tribute to Kellogg's ?

I'm pretty certain that without Q+AL or the movie, Queen's popularity in fifty to hundred years will have decreased dramatically. Without doing things like this there's no way of guaranteeing audiences.

They enjoy it. Yeah, Prob gets frustrating to some with the new fandom....and the newbie nonsense about it, but hey! ... what's the need for bashing each other?? Btw Tim Staffel really made the right decision stepping out. The band never became shit.

The comments they made about XFactor type shows weren't about the contestants it was about the format of the shows and the way people are talked down to and treated. And also the way those shows inform the music buying public. As far as Adam Lambert and the band looking "soft as shit" talk about selective memory. . . 76/77 they had a frontman who wore leotards and ballet shoes a Bass player who wore white dungarees and guitarist who wore embroidered white cotton jackets and silk and cotton capes and a drummer who wore tight silk trousers and shirts. How can anything Lambert chooses to dress in be wrong.

But the audience response and comments all over social media after the shows say the complete opposite. Audiences love him because he's himself and doesn't pretend to be anything he's not. He has a different way with him than Freddie but I'd say that's a good thing, if he tried to be like Freddie it wouldn't work, being himself clearly does.

snifflese wrote: Miracle, I can appreciate your viewpoint, but Freddie has now been gone since 1991. I bet the majority of people who go to the concerts had never seen a concert with him as the frontman, so you can't expect them to feel as you do. He isn't uppermost in their minds more than likely. For old Queen fans that statement does not apply! But for others, they are going to a concert to hear Queen's music. They aren't thinking of Freddie and what he brought to the band necessarily. They are going for a night out and just to enjoy the great singing of the Queen catalog, the neat visuals and to have a wonderful concert experience and QAL fits the bill. Freddie had some gimmicks when he was carried in on stage and those outfits, my goodness. You also can't compare what was done back then to what is possible now. People expect some gimmicks. Think of Lady GaGa and Pink and all those concerts with a stage full of dancers. Expectations are different now and Killer Queen and the Bicycle song are what many fans wait for. In the context of the show it is a lighthearted, campy section and fans love it. I also believe Freddie was not the only Queen member and less than half the songs in this current show were written by him, but rather the other 3 members, who aren't exactly chopped liver themselves. No one can replace Brian and his fantastic guitar skills, nor Roger's drumming and unique voice .It wasn't just Freddie then and it certainly isn't just Freddie now. People have to move on with the times and appreciate what is possible today. QAL is keeping the music alive for tons of new fans. I couldn't believe how many young fans and kids were at the show who are going to always remember the concert and love Queen music. If they didn't keep playing, the music would grow stagnant. Music has to be played to remain alive. You guys really seem to miss that important detail. If it is not played, it goes away!

Miracle. wrote: Obviously when you hear a Queen song you automatically think of Freddie, but you seem to think people don't as they only go for a night out, quite a sad assumption i think. Adam would not have a job in Queen if Freddie was still here so get down from your high horse, Freddie & the band wrote the hits and Adam is just singing them. After all this time Lambert is still telling audiences he is not Freddie, well he must feel really guilty been on that stage because he still knows an awful lot of people still do not like him fronting Queen.

He doesn't feel guilty he just likes to honor Freddie and make sure the audience know he's not trying to replace him and despite what you think there's plenty people do like him singing with the band. Bit hard to set the charts alight without being released yet his single is being released on the 4th Sept and side A of the album on 28th Sept.

It has nothing to do with 4 letter words, but the type of songs he sings just don't seem to resonate and I have never said anything else. I like him best singing Queen which is what I have always maintained. Adam is a world class vocalist, but not much of a song writer and not really great at picking songs to release. By the way he has been all over the place singing at important events. He can do many, many things as a gifted vocalist, just not be a pop star. Nothing wrong with that! He is never going to be reduced to singing cruise ships, etc, now that is just plain nonsense! He may just grow up a little as to what he can and should be singing at this point in his life. Or he may just go on as he is and doing his own thing which has been working well for him up to this point. It is totally his choice. But what he won't be doing, is being a silly little keyboard warrior that has such a sad life he is reduced to writing dirty posts saying abominable things about an artist and other posters. Now that is really sad!

Adam doesn't have a record contract anymore, he's gone independent which works in a totally different way. Don't know much about Olly, don't follow him but no idea why there's any point comparing artists to each other.

snifflese wrote: If you are a superb vocalist, you don't need to play an instrument. That neither adds nor subtracts how much I like a song. To me Adam's voice is way above the rest and I can enjoy just that. Plenty of people play an instrument and sing, but that doesn't make them sing any better than an accomplished vocalist. There are always wonderful musicians to back up Adam's voice and that is what I choose to listen to because no one in the world sings like he does. Many, many musicians and people in the business have said the same thing. So, I trust their opinion and my own ears and you guys are just white noise in the background.

snifflese wrote: That is your opinion, but not mine. It doesn't make it b....t. See what I mean about the meanness and the filthy language? People can differ w/o it coming down to that kind of behavior and it always does. And you wonder why people who like Adam feel the way they do about you people? Nobody on our side says the kinds of things that come out of your mouth, Runner's mouth and Miracles just to name a few. The hypocrisy is staggering at times.

Freddie Mercury on the other hand is regarded the greatest male vocalist ever all over the world and something Adam will never achieve.

"Here in the UK people are not impressed" So who is buying up all the tickets when they tour the UK? "Very common in young guys his age" what mid 30's! "I've heard better choir boys then Lambert" yeah in some ways so have I, the same ones were better then Freddie too at singing in that register. "Freddie is regarded the best male singer ever" maybe by you and no one else. Go and listen to some opera, better still go to an opera!

Fav band of all time? Can you put your money where your mouth is? What Queen albums do you own that were legitimately purchased? Brian is supposedly your favorite member of your "fav band of all time." Do you legitimately own any of Brian's solo work? I would also be interested in what SC owns. You and SC are Lambert fans who have only a passing interest in Queen because of Lambert being a guest vocalist for Queen.

There are many things I once knew that I have long forgotten and that doesn't make me any less of a person or a fan. No one can remember all this garbage, esp. if that wasn't the most important thing about the show. It sounds pretty trivial to me.

Re read my post and hi lite the part where I said Freddie wasn't an exceptional vocalist. Unlike you who clearly is stupid, I don't blindly make stupid claims as to Freddie's abilities. He was amazing at what he did. But he would be lost on stage singing opera professionally and he couldn't compete with a good choir boy. If you really think he could ithen it's you talking shite

Why should Freddie compete with a choirboy? Lameturd could not even compete with a goat. So fucking what? Why are you sad crackcunts always trying to talk Freddie down just to big asshole LAmbert up ???? He is absolutely lost on that big stage, looks like the twat he is and sounds annoying.

snifflese wrote: You twist whatever anyone says, Runner. My point about forgetting deceased singers has to do with all groups who have replaced an old band member. It was not Queen specific. Some of the groups have actually kicked living members out and gone on their merry way and after a while no one has a problem with it. Singers and musicians are switched out all the time. Numerous groups have been mentioned here and I won't repeat. They still are appreciated by their fans and most people grow accepting of the new singer. Iron Maiden was an example of a group who has had 3 members who sang at different points and they are all living!! Yet, they are still a huge group no matter which singer sings! My preference is Bruce, but there were two other vocalists at varying times. My point is that most sane fans get over it and go one with the new group. There are always a few did hards, but most fans accept and can still enjoy. It is not as if Queen could continue without Freddie. There was no choice and they waited a long time for new singers. At some point it is what it is and most people enjoy QAL. If you don't. no problem with that, but many fans really enjoy it. I don't know where this Freddie hate comes from. Yea, I have always really liked Brian since the 1970's. Most people have a fav band member and no way is everybody going to love Freddie the best. There are others out there who feel like I do. Sure Freddie was amazing, charismatic, wrote wonderful music and I have no issue with that. He is a legend and always will be. But I feel Brian is pretty much the same for me. It doesn't mean I hate Freddie. You are being deceitful when you say that about me. It just happens to fit your agenda so you can crap all over me and personally, I am tired of you and your drivel. Post on a Queen thread where you can fall all over yourself about Freddie. That would be so much more pleasant for you. But no, you have to come here and spread your vicious lies and you revel in that, which makes you a very sick individual. If I were you I would quit talking about slapping people and kicking them. Someone might take notice of your violent tendencies and nowadays you can't be too careful. I think I would throttle back with the threatening language.

Known to attack at any perceived slight of the object of their devotion. Vicious in large packs." Very appropriate for SweetCaroline and sometimes snifflese. link

That says a lot about you, since he is a nasty piece of work at best. Queen fans HERE are ugly, mean and don't know what it is to have a grownup decent conversation. I am a Queen fan but when I try to say something all I do is hear No, you are not. Why bother answering a thing because when I do, it is still the same shit. So, you think I should venture into the Queen threads and get eaten alive? I don't think so. Look at how absolutely nasty you have been to Caroline over the stupid cape and crown business here on the QAL thread. I would have to be really stupid to post on those Queen threads and I am certainly not that. I have explained about Freddie and the QAL thread way too many times and either you can't comprehend English or like Runner, you just want to fight. This is an inhospitable, ugly place for anyone but haters to post and you are smack dab in the middle of all of it. Issues don't even begin to describe the problem with all these miscreants!

You may post a lot but you never say anything except accuse people of things. I have not seen one intelligent post from you where I actually learned something. That doesn't seem to be in your wheelhouse. I know what is going on in the world outside better than most folks, let me tell you. If you are talking about the Queen fandom here, no thank you very much. If this is the way we are treated here on a QAL thread, why would we ever venture into the threads where the true fans lie? There are some nice Queen fans that pop in occasionally, that are lovely. But most of them comment on how awful things are here, tell you people to grow up and then depart and nothing ever gets better. Even those Queen fans don't want to interact with you and your buddies. Not sure what that says about you here, but it sure isn't positive. I will pass on interacting on the other Queen threads, thank you very much. When you and Runner both swing into action it is insufferable in here. It is really too bad. Time for a break again, I guess. This equals banging one's head into a brick wall and my head is really sore at this point.
