Adam Lambert possibly new singer for Queen
Adam Lambert is a talented karaoke show contestant. Big fucking deal. Whether it pisses us off or not, it makes Queen look desperate and pathetic, which as Barb said, it's their legacy, their choice. But in the world...

Adam Lambert possibly new singer for Queen
As a long time defender of Queen and their earlier works in general, I love how people find fault with people who find fault with Brian, Roger, Jim Beach, QP, etc. Roger said that Radiohead used to write great songs,...

Adam Lambert possibly new singer for Queen
The sad thing is that after a certain point (say 175 million albums sold, a tour that just did pretty well, 30 plus years of commercial success), one would become isolated from reality a build a wall. Brian May is lik...

Adam Lambert possibly new singer for Queen
I agree with Amazon, Sebastian and Daniel. All good points. My take? [/QUOTE]Queen (were) like Beethoven, or The Beatles, once in a lifetime artists whose music will stand the test of time. Their legacy is secure, but...

Best 'Queen' song since Innuendo
Be open minded. If Brian and Roger sounded like this on TCR they'd have got a greater response. This reminds me of when Queen were great. [/QUOTE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW7YKHTzfgo [/QUOTE]

American Idol Finale
Queen slogged around for years trying to get a deal. They are arguably the second most famous band (in most territories) in the world. Playing shit with karaoke contestants, regardless of exposure, is embarrassing, co...

Uncredited musicians playing on Queen albums
Hi Sebastian, having listened to Rock it this morning, I'm interested to hear who you think the voices that at aren't Queen come from. To me, I think it's a case of being used to Freddie being in the mix which is odd...

Q&PR officially over.

Brian May's piano skills
For those of you who haven't seen it, there is a great link to a Flash retrospective on Brian's site. I think that the one thing the press missed in Queen as they were tearing them to shreds over one petty thing or an...

What's DRAGON ATTACK about?
Very interesting topic, and part of what makes music so powerful in that one person's take on a song is totally different, and in this case, many different views on what it's about. I always thought that the song had...

lack of advertising
Mike Hunt, when Queen fans heard Staying Power and Radio Ga Ga it was probably a bit of a shock. But then again, long time fans who were into Queen from the early days were used to left field choices. So when Jazz rol...

lack of advertising
"If it was marketed adequately, I bet it would have sold very well, because that traditional rock sound sells well here." [/QUOTE]And that's why the album didn't get noticed. Bad Company was a cliched band, very Ameri...

lack of advertising
She plays classic songs (she did You're my best friend, Brian mentioned it on his site) on ukelele. Doing stuff with a webcam in her bedroom, she's now playing concerts and is touring or doing shows with Ben Folds. So...

lack of advertising
I'm stupid and need a problem solved. Please help me. Given the fact that in the last five years, and in some cases before that: [listu] [li]Brian and Roger would go to the opening of a closet for promotion purposes [...

lack of advertising
David, here's my two cents. [/QUOTE]No.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]In the days of the internet, all it's takes is for something to catch the imagination of a few people (see Susan Boyle, Paul Potts, the ukelele chick) for a band...

More Evidence That Paul Is Out
That's a great post, Wiley. People here are so pro/anti QPR it's funny. I'd say in addition to not having lost a thing, you've gained by all of the things you mentioned that the last tour and album brought. I've never...

Queen are 99% sure to tour in 2010
Yeah, losing Paul would deprive us of an album that would rank 1 or 2 on both the "Worst Ever Lyric Writing" and "Why did they do this again?" lists.

It's Late... rubbish?
