I have to admit that I was struck by lightening when I heard We Are the Champions performed by Queen and Adam Lambert, and the other guy ;) This is the first time ever, sincerely, that I felt the power, pomp and drama of Queen since Freddie left the stage. Queen have performed, recorded and played with a number of vocalists - but this time everything felt into place. Lambert brought back the camp, flamboyance, fun and crazy - with
a performance of power, uniqueness, flair and range. This has to be a Made in Heaven combination. And at the time I'm writing this, messageboards, newspapers and chats have people going mad discussing this collaboration or meeting. It seems like a LOT of people would like this to happen. Consider me in.
Although I liked The Cosmos Rockin, and still do; still it lacked the drama and pomp that we expect from a Queen album. Yes, it was a new venture, a new take within the Queen format - but still something was missing; the "over the top-singing", the unorthodox arrangements and humour - this can happen now. Whereas The Cosmos Rocking was a safe, straightforward, predictable blues/rock album - we now may get the chance to finally see Queen strike back with strength and power performing and creating a kind of macic - a new fresh, epic glam rock/metal of our time. Lambert will give them this, by inserting humour, freshness, versaility, range and theatricality.
And what an insanely perfect way to be re-born in the States again? Try to imagine this vocal god to perform "Somebody to Love", "Death on two legs", "Now I'm Here" and "Innuendo"!? This will be the perfect opportunity to close the chapter and history of Queen as a performing band. Have fun and take the world with storm by setting a new standard - with fresh, rocky new albums and spectacular live concerts.
What do you think?

Please, forget this TV guy. Can he write new songs? Can he play any instrument? He has a good voice, but that´s all. I think Queen is something big for him. Only Paul can do it properly. Q+PR was a fantastic combination.

I think Adam would be horrible for Queen as a singer imo.

FACT: Adam Lambert will neither cure cancer nor bring world peace.

I think he's a tremendous singer but I mean come on ... joining Queen? He'd really have to do a serious job of earning some stripes first I think. He has the voice and the character to sing for a band like Queen but God only knows if he can write a tune worthy of those guys ... and so soon after Paul Rodgers has left the picture? It'd be laughable. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]

The more I think about it, the more I'd like to see this happen.

It would be better if Brian and Roger just called it a day then going out with ANOTHER new singer who will surely have the same problem as Paul. People comparing him to Freddy, people not caring about him, people moaning that 'Freddy sang it better', people complaining that 'he looks bored'.
john bodega · Member since
Yeah who the fuck would want that job?? The number one reason I would've quit Q+PR if I were Paul would have to be that more people were cheering for the dead guy than they were for me...

Queen's career was often fueled with bad press...and Freddie getting most of the low blows.
most of those press/columnist had to admit that he was unique, and now defend his memory.
so...who will be worthy to take Paul's place now ?...he took his share of low blows ;)
i thought this combination was interresting, because of the musical back ground they could perform.
Lambert...hummm....it would be safe to say that they will simply write a few songs for him, for his very probable album.
as for joining Queen ?...time will tell...
it would be nice in a way...maybe...because with his range, we could get to hear song's Paul just couldnt do.
whoever will be the new front man...it would be important that he can give a wider choice in the Queen catalogue.
because, two tours with the same old and just the TCR songs added ?
that left me a bit dissapointed.
Pim Derks · Member since
I don't think a tour with a singer which could sing the more 'Freddy'-songs would actually contain more Freddy-songs in the setlist. Look at the Freddy Mercury Tribute - even when he was barely dead and a gig was being organised in his memory the actual setlist contains only 4 real Mercury-composed songs. Even if Freddy suddenly returned from the dead I really doubt we'd be seeing tracks like Somebody To Love in the setlist - so let's not even start about stuff like Great King Rat, Liar or Ogre Battle.

""so let's not even start about stuff like Great King Rat, Liar or Ogre Battle.""
those songs are low on my wish list ;)
anyway...time will tell...
i dont think i need to post the same cassette ;) my opinion is as good as any other on the subject.
