If BM and RT hadn't been there for Freddie to join then Queen would have never existed. I would sugest that on this basis they have as much right as any combination of members to use the name.
Can you imagine if it was John and Freddie who were in the position of Brian and Roger. . . . .

Vocal Harmony, come on, try harder.
"If BM and RT hadn't been there for Freddie to join then Queen would have never existed. I would sugest that on this basis they have as much right as any combination of members to use the name."
It's got nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing to do with "right." Paul McCartney has the "right" to go out with Ringo Starr, the singer from The Mull of Kintyre Pub and Grill and John Lennon's housekeeper and call the band The Beatles. Since Robert Plant won't play along, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones have the "right" to get the guy who programmed the Human League's drum machines to replace John Bonham, and get Britney Spears on (autotuned) vocals and call themselves Led Zeppelin. Do you really believe that anyone, ANYONE, would accept that combination as The Beatles or Led Zeppelin? If you do, I am posting in vain.

Brain May and the touring cast of WWRY Southeast Warsaw = Queen.
Roger Taylor, Spike Edney, Inu Liger, someonewholovesadam and R2D2 = Queen.
John Deacon, Errol Brown, Johnny Rotten, Eddie Van Halen, Todd Rundgren, Wolfgang Van Halen, Andrea Bocelli, Scary Spice, Banarama, Robert Plant, Bruce Spricgsteen and the entire Parliament/Funkadelic horn section and chick dancers = Queen.
I am in for all of these shows.

Stop WHAT conversation? Everything you and that other dimwit post are just variations of the same bullshit as well. Look in the mirror before posting nonsense (assuming any of it is left after exposing it to your ugly mug.)

Really? Because the only thing I can remember saying specifically about Lambert and Queen is that I don't particularly like the sound of his voice but I accept others do.
Now if you could stop behaving like a hysterical child for just a second, maybe you would like to try to prove me otherwise?

Zebonka12 was the prison who questioned who had the right to perform under "the name" I used his post as a spring board for mine. Sheer Brass Neck you've taken it to another level. Replacing band members has always happened, it just so happened that Queen had a very stable line up. . . But even Freddie said that if he left the others would have the ability to replace him and carry on.
Replacing a lead singer and Bass player is a lot different to filling a band with members that have no reason to be there. Yes I guess that was posted with a bit of humour, but if it wasn't . . . . . . Oh dear!

The difference is that lead singer is hardest to replace. Freddie was in the mood to be modest with that comment, he knew how irreplaceable he was. You have to merit being the lead singer of Queen and the proven fact is that Lambert just doesn't cut it.

Queen4ever 13 something for you to think about. Deep Purple, Van Halen, Journey, Marillion, Genisis, Pink Floyd. . . Plus many more.
You need to get over the fact Freddie isn't around, so what, yes he was brilliant, but Freddie not being here doesn't add up to the end of the world or the band
Most of the people at the Freddie tribute weren't really up to the job, but they got round it by choicing the right song for the right person and for the most part it was an enjoyable show.
I would rather see Queen live than not at all, the audience's at the shows will be the best judge of good or bad.

Are you that desperate to hear Brian and Roger or are you in love with Lambert? You should get over trying to justify a no-talent creepy wanna-be desperado trying to make a name for himself by making a laughing stock of what's left of a good band. I'm all for them continuing with someone who's talented and worthy of it, he looks like a clown and cannot sing Queen songs.

A-hole. Oh yeah. This goes out to queen4ever13.

Queen4ever13 to answer your question. Niether. Are you in love with Freddie? Interesting you went off on another tagent!

Proof that Lambert fans have no class as well.

Of course I love Freddie! Just because we don't have filet mignon any more doesn't mean we have to eat scrap meat. Fans of Freddie's don't need to "forget about him" as you state, you're at odds an awful lot with anyone who doesn't like Lambert, hummm you seem to be a closet Lambert fan, come on out.
Vocal harmony · Member since
Getting over the fact Freddie isn't around is not forgetting about him.
I thought it strange that you asked if I loved Adam Lambert after I pointed out to you that their have been many instances where lead singers have been successfuly replaced. Was it that i had an answer to your comment that you werent expecting, mmmmm.
As far as Adam Labert goes, no I'm not a fan, but I have an open mind to the possibilities that he may bring, and I'm willing to wait before I pass judgment
