I haven't compared Freddie and Adam Lamberts ability as singers, because that would be stupid, and I didn't say that they came from the same musical backgrounds. What I said was maybe Brian and Roger were looking for someone, like Freddie, has a broader scope of influences.

No you didn't say that :) You said "Donna 13, your comment about Adam not being a rock performer is interesting. If you think about it neither was Freddie."
So you, person posting under the handle Vocal Harmony say, quote, in your words, unless your account has been hacked, "your comment about Adam not being a rock performer is interesting. If you think about it neither was Freddie." I question you on that, and then you position it as "what I said was maybe Brian and Roger were looking for someone, like Freddie, has a broader scope of influences." You didn't say that. Not at all. I apologize for disputing something that you didn't post as I should have understood what you had in your head. Maybe I am the imbecile for not understanding what you've written between the lines.

He was a Great and gifted singer in a band who performed rock songs, amongst others. The sheer scope of the Queen catalogue went beyond the boundaries of what a "rock performer" would normally write and perform.
Maybe in Adam Lambert, Brian and Roger are trying to bring some of that broader scope of performance and feel back to the band. [/QUOTE]
Sheer Brass Neck, Read the above. Don't take bits of it out of context.
There is nothing about Queen not being a rock band, there is nothing comparing Adam Lambert and Freddies vocal abilities .
But as you made clear, it's an idiotic statement. Well in your world it is anyway!

Fair enough Vocal Harmony, I wasn't being selective, it was the first line that i took issue with and that set the tone for what followed as misguided to me. Your beliefs are yours mine are mine. It seems that we cold go back and forth trying to get the last word in, as long as we both like what we like then all is good :)

Hey all Queen fans.. Let Adam Lambert have his little thrill of pretending to be Freddie for a couple of days. What difference does it make to us? I doubt his performance will be remembered for very long. (Unless it is just too awful!) At the end of the day, it is just music and meant to be enjoyed. We have all our genuine Queen albums (with the incomparable Freddie at the mic)to enjoy, and I guess AL's fans will enjoy listening to him sing with Queen! And Brian and Roger will fill their bank accounts a bit more. Win-Win for everybody, right? LOL!

Hey is it true Sonisphere has been cancelled?! The fans have placed their verdict. The show must go on only when it includes Freddie.

Does anyone honestly think a bunch of Queen fans influenced the decision to shut down an entire festival consisting of dozens of bands?
More specifically - is there any fan base for a rock band as thick as Queen fans?

True. The festival needed a big current band like Foo Fighters to attract fans, especially for the prices being charged. Queen+PR was only attracting crowds at medium-sized British arenas (10-12,000). Kiss couldn't sell out their last British dates. Faith No More? I liked them but at their peak of popularity in the UK they weren't very well known. Reality check not just for May/Taylor but for festival organisers too.

I know. They are a thick bunch, tending to generalise a lot about a very diverse group of fans from all ages and educational backgrounds (whistles) ...

in 2005, QPR did wembley arena plus hyde park
in 2008, they did 2 nights at the o2 plus wembley arena
in addition to all the other arena shows in the UK.
healthy numbers I would say

Obviously I'm not referring to everyone. No need for the hyperbole.

Hyperbole is your problem, not mine. You admitted it on the other thread. Fair enough. Let's move on.

At least you no longer have to worry about watching and listening to this talentless dolt sing.
