SweetCaroline wrote: They are 72 and 70 and if Freddie were still here he would be 73. Give them a break! The music they created for the 21 years they were together cannot be topped by anyone, including them! Are you guys ever happy and positive about anything?????

snifflese wrote: It isn't a problem for me. Freddie was a huge part of the group and he can certainly be the focus here. I bet not one Adam fan would even think about that as a problem, but if something pertaining to Adam was in a Queen only thread (heaven forbid!), the thunder would start raining down.

SweetCaroline wrote: While you are at it, you should probably suggest to them exactly who you want to replace “AL” on those tours. Better hurry! The next one is scheduled for February and might already be sold out!

snifflese wrote: No, what is pathetic is someone spending so much time talking about how pathetic it is. Brian and Roger are getting up in years and won't be doing things now like they did in the early 90's. But they sure come close with that tremendous show they put on this year.

snifflese wrote: What I said was that not everything on here has to be Freddie related. All you want to focus on is Freddie and important past history as to whether he had a crown on or not at Live Aid. I doubt anyone but you remembers or could care less. My remark had more to do with things like that, not that Freddie shouldn't be mentioned.

Personally i think anyone who really loves Queen but hasn't taken up the opportunity to see Brian and Roger go back on the road in the twilight of their lives have deprived themselves. Especially when I read it from people who never saw the band live. Criticizing you tube videos is not the same as being there. Fair enough if someone went and hated it, but even then, to suggest it can ruin Queens legacy is ridiculous. Those records will live forever. Freddie will be remembered as long as Rock music is remembered. I'm not trying to change minds, Lord knows that doesn't happen on here, but to think or accuse someone of not being a true fan, just because they happen to like more segments of that bands career than you do is borderline madness. (You cant be a true fan, you like that stuff my favourite band did) Personally I enjoyed the Adam shows I saw. He's definitely a better singer now than he was when he first gigged with them. Would I buy an Adam Lambert solo record? Probably not. Would I see a solo show? Nope. Am I glad Brian and Roger found someone they wanted to work with? Abso bloody lutely. PS Hot Space was shit. Side 2 of Flash Gordon ranks up there with the best side of vinyl the band ever did. Queen 2 is a masterpiece, Races is better than Opera. The Miracle is their 2nd worst album. These are my current beliefs, that have changed over the years, they may change again. People will agree or likely disagree, one of us are right, it's all opinion. We can have different opinions and still be fans. I really hate how every topic turns into this. I shouldn't press send.

I doubt she made it up since she likes to bring over remarks others make. I don't know why it is such a huge deal for you. She read it, she repeated it. So what? For me there is a lot of erroneous crap posted here that I am sure will wind up elsewhere. That is the nature of the internet.

runner_70 wrote: Unbelievable to say " most people dont worry about the departed singer" when it comes to Freddie, one of the biggest icons if not THE biggest Rock icon ever. Millions were Celebrating his birthday yesterday and this crackbitch is saying "most ppl dont care"????? Comparing QAL with iron maiden is a joke as well. For many Bruce is THE voice of Maiden and they recorded their biggest Classics with him. The first two albums with Paul were not huge. What did QAL record with Lameturd again? ? I have forgotten enlighten me. I assume you know as much about Maiden like you know about Queen you self called expert. Do us a favour and remove yourself from this QUEEN site
