And they don't have to because as long as they have fans like Michael Allred accepting the old dressed up as new they can milk the recycled cash cow forever.

So at what point can we expect you to stop talking out of your ass?
[/QUOTE]
I guess as my ass makes more sense than your brain, Michael, never. Your answer is get over it for everything. If, and I hope and think you understand what Queen stood for, there is an unbelievably shocking lack of standards and beliefs, which is fine. I don't like it, and I don't think anybody gives a fuck what I think. Much the same as nobody gives a fuck what you think, but I understand that, the difference between us is I'm not foisting my opinion down everyone throats like you are.


If you like the AL thing, great, I don't. That's not negative and you framing the argument as "Freddie's dead, move on", you show a lack of understanding the issue. Of course the irony in your George Michael being 20 years ago comment is rich given that Your Valentine said that Queen and AL are trotting out songs from 30 to 40 years old. UYep, that's new.

Yup, get over it and get a life. Pretty simple.

For the record, I give a frack what you think just fine.  Forget Michael on this subject, his intolerance for the thoughts of other people and his facile and puerile non response responses.  He showed 10 times the passion and upset when he was worried Melo Yelo was being taken of the shelves in his home state than he ever has about Queen's creative output or legacy. Anybody who can get that messed up over soda pop should be able to understand that things are important to other people, even when they're not important to him.

Oh, great. Elton John was gushing all over Adam at the After Elton Academy Awards party. If Adam and Elton announce they are going to tour together, at least the Queen and Elton John fans will have something to commiserate over.

They must play with him: Is a shame he died in 1987....

Speaking as a huge Bowie fan, I can guarantee you I don't dislike AL for his choice of makeup and costume. I don't even necessarily dislike him. I just think it's absolutely stupid for an American Idol contestant and pop singer who surfaced in the late 00's to be fronting a legendary rock band from the early 70's. The difference in talent and importance is staggering. Imagine if Jimmy Page and Robert Plant did a show with Lady Ga Ga, or Ringo and Paul did a show with Justin Bieber. It's a similar level of absurdity. [/QUOTE]

You're placing an awful lot of importance on one guy singing with a band for two nights. If Lambert were to suddenly JOIN Queen, become an official member and de facto lead singer then your argument has some measure of validity.

However that's not the case and you (like everyone else) are making a mountain out of a molehill.

I do love the snobbery and elitism though. Very original amongst the online Queen fan populace.

Well, out of all the places in Russia, they have to play in Moscow, because St. Petersburgh just passed a bill that bans all "gay propaganda".

Where else could they play where their deceased lead singer and current guest singer would be considered subhuman trash?
That would make for a fun tour.

People seem to be forgetting that Queen have a vast empire of new and younger fans who WANT to see and hear the old songs getting perfromed live.
Who here went to see QPR to hear Call Me, Warboys, C-lebrity?
I still think this guy will fulfill a purpose, letting them try some different material, hopefully some early stuff. End of the day, Bri and Rog want to still play Queen material, and have chosen someone with a good range and is well known to modern younger audiences.
Anyone that doesn't rate his voice is being very stubborn and close minded.
Queen have been very clever in keeping the brand alive, and this move will help them grow even stronger.
