I'm not particularly fond of Adam Lambert, but maybe it's best that we don't have preconceived notions of how the gig will be. It may be the last time we see Brian and Roger play together, so enjoy it for what it is.

I shall be playing 'Don't Try Suicide', on a loop, all night.

Has nobody considered the fact that the guy has an awesome vocal range and maybe, just maybe we could hear some of the older stuff from 70's era. It's a mainly metal festival so we could be in for an awesome set of 70's ass kicking hits such as Brighton Rock in full? Keep yourself alive, now I'm here! Give it a chance!
4 x Vision
I thought he was quite good on TSMGO. Hopefully they'll do a tour and play Scotland, preferably Glasgow!!!

In 2004 Brian May said: "Paul Rodgers was one of the Freddie's most favourite singers." And Paul sang with Queen.
Nowadays some Adam Lambert says: "Freddie Mercury is my favourite singer." And he's going to sing with Queen...

AWESOME!!
Freddie Mercury is one of my favorite singers, TOO!!!
coming soon!
Queen + Matt Zarella FALL of 2012
this is gonna be awesome! ;0)
all kidding aside (though that would be a dream come true)
...i'm wishing the guys the best on this one... regardless of the taboo. Wish i could get a chance to hear the red special blow my eardrums out in my lifetime.

Yeah, this is enough to bring him back from the dead, oh Lord. Hoepfully he's getting a good laugh out of how desperate Brian and Roger have become without him or how the fans would like to do a Highlander on the two of them.

that's going a bit too far.
just my opinion... haha
if you got rid of Bri and Rog.... there could be only one (left)
John Deacon... ONE MAN SHOW... as QUEEN + his Pro Tools rig
maybe he'd inherit all the talent, as per HIGHLANDER....

Actually I'd rather have John singing than any of these "Freddie favourite singers" despite Freddie's seal of approval on them (which is as valid as an Ebay COA).
We Are The Champions
As much as I love Brian May and Roger Taylor, John Deacon to death, I was very tolerant of Paul Rodgers being lead singer but now my patience has run thin now!!!
I'd be much happier if John came out of retirement and they toured with Roger and Brian sharing vocals in my local pub!!
I just hope that they play some smaller venues and then I might change my mind about seeing a gig.
Adan Lambert is a lucky bastard I guess to be on the same stage as 2 iconic rock gods but I enjoyed Brians Tour with Kerry Ellis as you can at least get a boner watching Kerry perform!!

You will probably think that my opinion on the band's appearance with Adam Lambert is going to be a predictably positive one and that this is what I am expected or told to say.
So straight from the heart and from my experience of being a Queen fan since 1975, this is exactly my thoughts and feelings on the matter, nobody elses.
I am very thrilled and excited that the band have chosen to have Adam as their vocalist for these gigs and personally I don't think anyone else could fill this particular gap. I feel Adam will bring glamour and theatricality back into the band, which has been missing since Freddie departed. He is young, good looking, a superb image, always looks like a rock star and has a great voice too - the perfect front man. And that is exactly what he is. He is here to fill the role of Queen's lead singer, at this particular time and not to replace Freddie, no one could do that. Like the situation with Paul Rodgers, he is not joining the band, just sitting in the vocal driving seat so Brian and Roger can do what they do best - putting on a great live concert filled with the best music catalogue in history. After all, this deserves to be heard on the live stage and indeed seen, and Adam can pull this off without question. Brian and Roger know their limitations, you can't play drums and guitar and sing and be the front men successfully. They need a lead singer to carry the weight of the vocalist and focal point and leave RT and BM to do what they do best - playing drums and guitar. Of course they will include their own vocals on some songs like they have before, but you can't expect them to do so for two hours and play their own instruments as well.
Should they be using the name Queen? Yes of course, this is the brand name, it makes people take notice, helps sales of product and keeps the music alive.
Does it really matter where a singer has come from? Slogging around the clubs for years or making it big via a TV show is irrelevant. A good singer is a good singer whatever their background. The same goes for any musician, if you are good then you deserve to be heard.
Many negative opinions have expressed disbelief that our boys in their 60's should be playing with anyone in there 20's. Is this an ageist thing or just another excuse not to like this collaboration? I think this really does say how much Queen and Freddie have, and still are, influencing the new musicians and singers coming through. The likes of Jessie J, Katy Perry, Celio Green, Mc Fly and Lady Ga Ga (plus many others) have all been influenced by the band in recent years, and cite them as a huge influence in their own drive to become musicians and be the best at what they do. That is apart from all the artists and bands from the 1970's, 80's and 90's who were also affected by Queen. The amount of artists who have, and want to work with BM and RT is staggering, though most of the time work commitments don't allow or there is just not enough time. So why should Brian and Roger stop doing what they do best? Why should they retire or bow out gracefully from recording or playing live? It is their band name and legacy and they can do whatever they like with it. If you were good at a particular 'job', would you want to stop if that is what you have always done and still enjoy it? Probably not, so why should they stop when there are so many people who still want to see and hear Queen, in whatever way possible.
Roger and Brian are very high profile here in the UK, always have been, so not a week goes by without one of them being on TV or radio, getting involved with something new or picking up an award of some kind. No other guitarist or drummer comes close to how popular these guys still are here and how the country holds them in such high regard. The musical also keeps the band in the public eye, attracting new audiences practically every night of the week, so much so that a touring version had to be set up to keep up with demand.
Freddie has been gone for 20 years now, the band with just RT and BM at the helm have been going longer than they did when Freddie and John were with them, an achievement in itself, no other band would have survived the way Queen have.
If you don't like the new situation with Adam or want to see them live, that's fine, that has always been the case, but don't slag the band off for every thing they do because it doesn't appeal to your own individual tastes or opinions. Yes, we all have a voice to express our thoughts and feelings, but some have been down right nasty and uncalled for. I wonder if they are real fans at all and should maybe get their musical enjoyment from other sources, or just listen to the band's output from 1973 to 1991. Queen's philosophy has always been to try new things, experiment and to keep themselves and us interested in what they want to do with the music. If you don't like it then don't go to see them live or buy anything with the Queen name on it - it is your choice entirely.
