Queen + Adam Lambert review Los Angeles July 20th 2019
I definitely meant to say no one can replace Freddie! Obviously, people could try to replace Adam but I am sure that person would get just as slammed if not more.

Nashville, TN — August 15, 2019
Nashville was a great show. I didn't see this thread and I wrote my comment about it under the LA Times review.

Queen + Adam Lambert review Los Angeles July 20th 2019
I agree almost entirely with the review. They are putting a great show, better than the one I saw by them in 80 despite my preference for Freddie over anyone. I saw them last night in Nashville and one of the best sho...

USA success
The huge AIDS backlash was more toward the mid 80s than the early 80s as the general population didn't seem to get how serious it was until then. Culture Club definitely had a backlash, but perhaps that was due in par...

USA success
They aren't the biggest current live band in the world, as much of their popularity still stems from people discovering and rediscovering how great they were with Freddie Mercury. It is hard to believe the Rolling Sto...

I like Calling All Girls, and have never seen it as an embarrassment to the band like Staying Power.

How were you first introduced to Queen?
I learned about Queen when I read a rave review of their first album in Rolling Stone just after it was released. I went to the record store and bought it and the tradition began.

Underrated Queen Songs
Off the top of my head, I would consider 1. All God's People 2. Innuendo (I know a lot of people like it, but to me is one of their best post 70s songs) 3. My Fairy King - this song from their first album set the stag...

Is Body Language really that bad?
I stand by my assertions about the song killing Queen's momentum in the states. Back then, most of the chart action was based on radio plays rather than sales due to most singles not selling well during that era. The...

Is Body Language really that bad?
It is definitely my least favorite single by Queen. Talk about killing the momentum they built in the States with The Game.

'Bohemian Rhapsody' has now broken $750M at global box office
One thing I do like about the movie is the incredible ripple effect that it has had in helping Queen getting so many new young fans. The huge amount of streaming of Queen music compared to other bands from that era is...

Queen Still reaching new audiences!
With my middle schoolers, Don't Stop Me Now is the rage. This started before the BR movie, perhaps triggered by the commercial with the song in it. I read somewhere that it was the most streamed song of those released...
