anadamfan wrote: The denim jacket would be my favorite too. But it costs 25,000¥, which is about 175£. Considering that a simple T-Shirt had been 40£ last tour, the price for the denim jacket looks almost sensible. Depending on its quality.

There's always plenty of original Queen merch as well as Brian, Roger and Adam's solo stuff. I don't need more tour t-shirts so hopefully will get this jacket - love it! The price would be around £150 - £200 I think.

Yep ... she's always a loonie to me. I dedicate this video to her, and I'm sure she won't recognize the singer. link Glamberts don't know better ... till the end of time

QueenTwo wrote: Sorry didn't mean sold out because of Merch sales, as we all know every band is big on merch now, that brings in most of the money from gig's nowaday's, I was just meaning kinda the same as runner 70, Feel they would do anything now to make a buck and keep themselves in the limelight, But that's up to them and they have the right to do so, but it doesn't mean what they're doing is good? in everyones book's. if they were a new band not long out as they are now, I don't feel they would get nowhere, sadly I feel it's only the name Queen that's selling, but that's just my thought's and for those who still like it then that's fine for them, each to there own and all that...

anadamfan wrote: But if you think it’s that bad, why are you spending your time in this forum? Everything you write here won‘t change anything of what Brian and Roger are doing. To be honest, your only achievement is, that you appear to be a nasty troll. You are so over the top with all your hateful comments and insults that I can’t take anything you post seriously.

snifflese wrote: I am a glamtart, a brian fansheep, a Freddie hater and multiple filthy references. Thanks a bunch! Check out prices at similar concerts with big names and the prices will all be similar, Brian is not the reason behind this, it just is. That is the way business operates nowadays. Most businesses, bands, etc do not give money away. I am sure by the time you take off the operating expenses, the take home is not as huge as you seem to think it will be. Transportation, salaries, supplies, insurance, rentals etc take a huge portion of the budget. They do want to make a profit or what is the point? I am sure it was an accting firm who figured all this out, not the Queen members as it takes an expert to crunch the numbers. I am sure you are not working for no protit, or maybe you don't work as you are always on here!

snifflese wrote: This is not the case in the US and I have no idea about your prices in Europe. They have stayed pretty much the same over three tours for me. What you have to pay for a ticket from a reseller is entirely different and they have no control over that. That is how I usually buy my tickets, other than for the second tour. I guess general admission is not such a huge thing here, as I have always bought a seat and the prices could be different for that. No, I don't think it is roger and brian negotiating at all. They have "people" to take care of that kind of thing who know the business and can figure out costs and revenue generated. By the way I thought you said all diehards avoid this travesty? Gosh you are so full of yourself. Dream on, dude! I doubt you have accomplished much in real life where it really counts, like Brian and Roger have. Their legacy will live forever and it is well deserved.

snifflese wrote: I am sure some of you won't like this remark, but the truth is that Freddie didn't/couldn't bring it every night, at least later on due to his vocal and health issues. I have listened to a lot of youtubes and how he sounded could be very, very different and sometimes not all that. He could do great things in the recording studio but it didn't always translate on stage and I have read that many times from many people who knew him. I am just repeating what I have read and what I have heard in the recordings. Like Adam or not, you can pick any night almost in 200 plus performances and they are all stellar. He may omit a few notes here and there, but it is impeccable singing. It is highly unusual to be able to bring it every night at the same high level, but he does. The quality of the performance has gone up in the vocal category since Adam is singing. I am not talking about showmanship, etc, just the quality of the vocals. The QAL show runs like a machine, a state of the art, wonderful show and there are very few glitches, so don't give me BS about quality control That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. You must be running out of excuses at this point Mr Smarter than Everyone Else. It is a wonder that you engage with mere mortals on this forum!

anadamfan wrote: Yes, the ticket prices in some European countries exploded, because the promoters decided to put seats on the floor. Now the tickets in front of the stage cost 3 to 4,5 times more than the GA Tickets for the last tour. And not only the front rows, but 3/4 of the floor. Even the prices for the very back have more than doubled. I don’t think the band has anything to do with it. If they had, there would be seats in all venues. But the demand dictates the prices: Two years ago some of the European concerts didn’t sell out: Prague, Berlin, Hamburg, Amneville... This time the gigs are sold out. 6 months before the concerts. With tickets that cost up to 4 times more. So some fans can be angry and sulking. QAL (and Queen) are doing better than ever. To add: The Rolling Stones are still more expensive than QAL. I decided to pass on their concert last year, because I was shocked to see their ticket prices.

snifflese wrote: You are totally living out some Freddie fan fic and have totally lost touch with reality. People like Brian and Roger have firms that take care of crunching numbers, handling legal issues, doing the shipping of their gear and anything that goes into making sure the tour works. They wouldn't have time for that, nor do I think they are money hungry. They have put out statements about resellers selling for high prices, so no I don't think they have much to do with this at all. Their concentration is the end product on the stage. I think it is time for a major intervention for you as your hate knows no boundaries. I don't get how you can even think of blaming them for the ticket prices, they are what the market will bear and I think they are under priced considering what some other, less stellar performers charge for their tours. This is a stupid thing to hang around their necks and hate them for. Should I be upset because movies cost so much and hate on the actors and the people who sell the concessions because candy and drinks often cost more than the movie? Guess I should hate the candy and soft drink industry. Get a life and move on!

The live version is even better than on record. Budapest was the best show vocally of the whole magic tour. Get a hearing aid mate

I agree that is was a great show. Although Wembley wasn‘t bad either. But Freddie’s voice cracks at some points in this vid. He’s almost shouting. Freddie was the best performer ever, but his singing was good, not brilliant. And his voice got worse with time.

Stop it. Nobody attends a show, that they don’t want to. Your constant reminders are annoying.

snifflese wrote: I would guess only a tool would bleat on and on to complain about something most people are pretty happy with. Otherwise they wouldn't be going on another huge tour, stadiums this time. The shows keep getting bigger! Doesn't make much sense if everybody hates it, does it? People on here just try to tune you out and if you don't get that you are an even bigger tool. Since Freddie is not there to sing, why does it matter that Adam is singing? He has nothing to do with Freddie or Freddie's legacy. The tour is only introducing more people to Queen, lots of new fans, thus the legacy grows even larger! I have yet to read anything like your idiotic critiques of Adam's voice. Most reviews mention how marvelous, how powerful that voice is and what a great job he does with Queen music. WWTLF is a master class in vocals and there are numerous vocal teachers, not the crap on you tube, but real classical vocal experts and they have stated he is one of the few in the world that can sing that song like he does. I bet you are worried that Adam does too good a job and fans like him too much and somehow that threatens Freddie, right? Otherwise your nastiness towards him makes no sense. That is your problem and it would be so nice if you would just go away, as your presence on here puts a damper on everything. Kind of like how one bad apple ruins the whole bunch, unfortunately. Listen to your Freddie songs and pre 1991 music, that is great, something you like. But leave us be with what we like. You keep repeating yourself over and over and over. UGH!!!

You must not read the tweets and instagrams and blogs and many other sites where long time Queen fans post and state that they are surprised at how good the concerts are and ultimately are pleased with the pairing. Dream on!

anadamfan wrote: I have been to blabbermouth after you mentioned them last time. I looked at all the recent QAL articles. But I didn’t find the flaming comments you’re talking about. I was surprised, that I didn’t even see one single comment, that I would call really negative. Quite the opposite.It was similar the last times I went to Classic Rock. I don’t doubt there are every now and then really negative comments. But in reality, these negative comments are by now a huge minority even on these sites.

snifflese wrote: You are the one that has a severe problem. If Freddie is dead and not on that stage why does it matter to you that Adam sings with Brian and Roger? Freddie is not available to tour and Brian and Roger wish to tour and they have found the person they deem best to fill that role. It has nothing to do with hyping him. It is a fact that he sings with them and he does a great job. They have sung together for 8 years and over 200 shows. It is a very successful collaboration at this point. They sell out pretty much in every part of the world, something not many bands can say. And I didn't say it doesn't matter what and how he sings, of course it does. He has to sing it respectfully and well, which he does., but why does it bother you that he sings with them? Someone has to do it if they want to tour. I keep telling you this has nothing to do with Freddie. Adam is not taking anything from him, for goodness sakes, they wait for almost 20 years to tour with Adam. It is not like they are touring and Freddie is sitting at home. How am I gloating that Freddie is not here? Truly Icy, you have more than one screw loose!! It is a fact that you can't change, Freddie is not available to tour (boy, that sounds dumb) Brian and Roger made the decision to move on, Adam is involved and there is no gloating, hyping or any of the garbage you always come up with. It is what it is and you need to accept that. If you don't like reading that some fans enjoy QAL, don't read it, because this is the subforum where we can discuss that and way more people enjoy QAL than you few on here that don't. Talking about how great the concerts are and Adam's voice is not hyping, it is discussing a fact.

snifflese wrote: Yep, Icy, I have moved on. By the way, Nate was awful when he sang Queen. His voice is not made for music with that much range. He seems like a good guy, but his voice is horrible when singing Queen. Maybe I wasn't specific enough about voice versus person. Not too many other reviews thought he sang well either. You think anyone but Adam sings Queen music so well. You even thought that horrible mess GAGA did was great. Clean out the ears. Your Freddie fixation is making you a very angry, ugly person. Therapy might help at this point. No dead singer should occupy this much of your time or thoughts. It is just not healthy as at this point you have a definite obsession and that is always bad.

snifflese wrote: Icy, I don't care to learn past history. Give it up as it is never going to happen, I know enough to appreciate Freddie, but I don't need a history lesson right now. I have many more interesting things to do and most of them have nothing to do with Adam or QAL either. They are something I enjoy when they come around on a tour or do a show on TV, but my life doesn't revolve around that. I am not biased, nor bitter. I really thing you are talking about yourself. You are absolutely crazy on the topic of Freddie. It is really scary how focused you are on him and how everything revolves around Freddie and his legacy. I don't plan on answering you no matter what crap you write as you are quite unhinged at this point.
