Should've just played "Put Out The Fire" and some other tunes, instead of doing the Live Aid set list. One can say it's in poor taste to try rehashing that stuff, but it's Maylor+ we're talking about here... |

Queen+ Adam Lambert are mid flow in their "Rhapsody" Tours of America, Australasia & Europe. The whole tours are geared up towards the success of the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" That said movie, that happens to climax with Queen's iconic 1985 Live Aid performance... why not recreate it? a bit self promotion going on there.. good on them!!! |

Yes its a good cause but Queen are not the only band there so wind your neck in. May is partly there for the animals and the other half is to show his pet Lambert off to Australia. Recreating the Live Aid set was a tacky thing to do and i bet you Lambert cannot steal the show like Freddie did! |

He wasn't there to steal the show or compete with Freddie he was there to help the cause like everyone else in that concert and there was nothing tacky about doing that set for a good cause. |

Did I stumble on something here?? Also how are they destroying the original? I'm pretty sure you can still watch it on YouTube or like a DVD if you're into that. |

Having watched it I dare to say they were very very good, also I liked for first time Adam vocals on Bohemian Rhapsody, I have seen them live and I can tell Adam has better voice than what is on YouTube. But the Bohemian Rhaspody version is for me the reason why they choose him. Back in 2015 I liked his voice on Stone cold crazy, Save me and Who wants to live forever. I am not a fan of him, but my opinion about him is the above. The guy needs tostoo be kitsc, put this passion (like he did on Bohemian rhapsody) , better songs and to find his style, otherwise he will be remembered as a reality TV singer who had some minor career. |

Who the hell does May think he is patronising all us Queen fans.?Instead of displaying your hatred for this band and its members try looking at the bigger picture here. Try thinking about what the event was, what they and the other artists were there to achieve. When you've done that think about the audience reaction in the stadium. I take it you watched it since you've commented on it. If you did you will have noticed the Freddie fan in the audience, with the full Freddie look, isn't it interesting that a genuine Freddie (Queen fan) was so into it yet another (you) and people like runner_70 hate every step they take. They played their set brilliantly, seemingly faultlessly, they achieved what the event set out to do, yet your stand out remarks are that Lambert is fat and Brian May is patronising. |
| Star* 17.02.2020 14:23 |
Sure it was a worthwhile event but doing the Live Aid set was patronising towards Freddie, its as if Brian is hoping Adam can steal the show like Freddie did back in 1985 which is an absolute joke and he is comparing Adam to Freddie by doing the same set of songs. Queen and fat boy were not the only artists there you know others were there too and so if Queen had not attended they would have still got the money. I have lost a lot of respect towards Brian because he is a manipulative user wanting the cameras on him when he has something to promote other wise he rants and stamps his feet, hardly an adult thing to do is it? Lets face it Freddie stole the show as always and Adam is well just Adam. |

It could well be "anti-Freddie", it could (more likely) be "doing whatever they can to help" - you know? just like with Live Aid. you need to get over your Brian/Adam hate and see the bigger picture. They did something really good here - without any prompting, pushing or cajoling (unlike Freddie's initial reaction to Queen's Live Aid invitation). |

link link Two reasons why Justin Hawkins should front Queen instead of Lambert. His full time band are bloody good too! |
| AngelR 18.02.2020 00:25 |
Love Justin, saw the Darkness on tour several times. Great fun! Justin's the great Queen fan and always talks about them as his main infulence. Queen are aware about him and his support. Roger's son Rufus is the drummer for the Darkness. Surely Justin would've been asked to join Queen if he was a good fit for them ages ago?! |
| Thistle 18.02.2020 06:02 |
I love Justin and I love the Darkness, but I think those were two reasons for him NOT to front Queen. I tell you what, though - Bernard Cribbins was awesome on Under Pressure. |

ANAGRAMER wrote "There's no getting away from the fact that if you watch the Fire Aid, then Live Aid back to back it's obvious which one is better" Well, yes, when compared with what is widely regarded as the best performance by a band ever, then it is somewhat lacking. Not sure what that proves though. I don't think anyone on here has ever tried to make out that QAL is better than Queen. Actually there probably is someone, but in general, most people who are fine with QAL are in no way suggesting it's better than before. What does come across when watching back to back is the increased energy in the Live Aid performance, it's absolutely electric. Good to watch it again, I was kind of done with it because I overloaded on it when the movie came out. |

ST16 wrote:What has cocaine got to do with the music Mr Brenski? Surely are you whiter than white then?it has lots to do with it - you really don't help your argument by failing to read up on things before challenging posts in that way. Freddie didn't look after his voice. here is the actual description of what cocaine use does to the vocal cords - whether nasally or smoked : blue [color=blue]Cocaine may affect the voice in varied ways, according to how it is used. Cocaine, when snorted, will cause significant injury to the nose and nasal septum due to the chronic constriction of the blood vessels in the nose. Cocaine “drip” is the mechanism by which cocaine may affect the voice. This occurs when cocaine that is not absorbed by the nose combines with the mucous in the nose and drips down the back of the throat. This is when the drug is often tasted. Because it is dripping into your throat, it also drips onto the vocal cords. Postnasal drip of mucous alone will affect the voice. The damage is worsened when the mucous is combined with an irritating drug. The vocal cords will swell and become more prone to injury. The voice will become hoarse and higher notes will be more difficult to reach. Damage often results from singing on cords swollen from cocaine “drip.” When smoked, cocaine results in similar injuries to those that occur with smoking other drugs, such as marijuana and tobacco. This includes laryngitis (inflammation of the cords), which will produce hoarseness. The vocal range will also be affected and restricted. How would cocaine affect a singer/professional voice user? A professional voice user is at high risk for voice problems if cocaine is used. There is a risk of: Septal perforation causing nasal cosmetic deformity (saddle nose, etc) Chronic laryngitis, Permanent hoarseness, Asthma/reactive airway , Chronic cough, Loss of vocal range (due to vocal scarring), Voice fatigue[/color] the last two definitely occurred with Freddie and Justin. cigarettes certainly didn;t help either. his live vocals definitely suffered. and there's no escaping that cocaine use contributed to this in some way. |
