Why dont they just fuck each other in the ass right on stage??
.. That would probably make a better show than adam lamberts singing. :-)[/QUOTE]
Probably because BM and RT are not arse bandits like you.
As far as Adam Lambert goes why don't you give him a try?[/QUOTE]
Some of us are old enough to remember what it was like to be bullied for being gay. I particularly remember being called "arse bandit" alongside threats of violence.
So I'd be obliged if you would refrain from using such language and then, preferably, fuck off you homophobic cunt.[/QUOTE]
You're to stupid to realize I was having a go at the comment made by abc1 who stated "it would make a better show" thus implying he enjoys watching such things. You want me to refrain from such language but then you go on to use the language you've used? You're a joke [/QUOTE]
For clarification, the language I'm complaining about is not "bad language" i.e. swearing (which I freely use - especially when used to state an obvious fact).
I'm complaining about homophobic language - i.e. the term "arse-bandit".
abc1, by suggesting the 2 men fuck each other is not being homophobic. It is merely a suggestion that 2 men have sex. Referring to someone as an "arse bandit" is homophobic. It's a derogatory, insulting name for a gay man.
I presume you are a straight male. I suppose you wouldn't mind being referred to as a "cunt bandit" but that is because you are not in a minority and haven't been persecuted because you are attracted to women.
The ironic thing is that you happily use such a term while being a fan of a band that had a promiscuous gay man as their lead singer. Do you have a poster of Freddie on the wall saying "My hero - Freddie the Arse Bandit"?
Have a think.[/QUOTE]
Ass bandit HA ! thats a good one. Im gonna use that one now.

All this means, is that Lambert's sophomore cd is looking like it's gonna flop
[/QUOTE]
guaranteed flop. Won't even go gold. his career has already fizzled out down to a cultish fanbase.[/QUOTE]
Be prepared to come back and admit how fucking stupid you are.[/QUOTE]
That would be like admitting I'm a wanker named Michael Allred. Not sure which would be worse.[/QUOTE]
Does it matter? Let's see if you have any balls and commit to coming right back here to admit you're wrong.

two shows confirmed at London Hammy Apollo (july)
and closing ceremony of the olympics
so the olympics will end up an even bigger fiasco that previously possible[/QUOTE]
I have to wonder why they were asked to perform at the olympics in the first place?
From what I gathered about the news of Sex Pistols declining the "Symphony of British Music", they are supposed to have a selection of british artists through the decades... But what's the point in having "Queen" perform without Freddie?

Queen with Adam Lambert – Despite Cancelled Sonisphere, UK Concerts To Go Ahead
Just two weeks after the shock cancellation of Sonisphere 2012 where they were due to headline with singer Adam Lambert, rock band Queen has announced they are to go ahead with a UK concert appearance this summer after all.
The band today announced that the highly anticipated pairing of Queen and Lambert will instead take place at London’s HMV Hammersmith Apollo over two nights, July 11 and 12.
In the announcement the band also promised to endeavour to give priority booking to those who had held tickets for their Knebworth concert.
Tickets will go on sale next week, first to Queen fans and Sonisphere ticket holders and then on general sale.
Says a band spokesperson, “Queen acted immediately in looking for an alternative venue in an aim to avoid disappointing all those fans who had so desperately looked forward to seeing them at Knebworth. Coming in the lead into the Olympics, most of the venues they first approached were unavailable, being taken as official London Games 2012 venues. As the setting of some of the band’s best remembered concerts, the idea of returning to this historic Hammersmith venue really appealed to them.”
Said Brian May: " Somehow this feels right - The Odeon is a big part of our history, and its atmosphere is second to none. It's the perfect place to acknowledge our faithful fans, and will be a fitting return to our roots !"
Roger Taylor adds: "We had made up our minds to play in the UK this year, so play we will ! Following the collapse of the Sonisphere organisation we didn't want to let down all those people expecting to see us live!"
Speaking from the US, Adam Lambert said: “I’m so thrilled that Queen found a way to ensure that the fans will get to see this event this summer. I can’t wait to be in London to perform with Queen for these incredibly special shows!”
Originally known as the Hammersmith Odeon, the venue was the scene of four sold-out Queen concerts in late November/early December 1975, as well as a special Christmas Eve show; and the band returned for a triumphant end-of-tour show in December 1979, playing the opening night of a series of UNICEF concerts for the people of Kampuchea. Amongst fans, the Hammersmith shows continue to be regarded as some of Queen’s most exceptional. Broadcast live on national radio and TV, the Christmas show has become one of the most heavily bootlegged in the band's career, and an edited version of the show has been recently shown by the BBC. But a high quality official release DVD is now planned, unedited, which will include the audio of all of the songs which were not originally transmitted on TV.
Tickets for Queen + Adam Lambert concerts at HMV Hammersmith Apollo on Wednesday July 11 and Thursday July 12 will first be available on a 24-hour presale to Queen Online subscribers, Queen Fan Club members and Sonisphere ticket holders from 9am on Tuesday April 17. Pre-sale details will be sent on to these communities separately via e-mail.
General sales start Wednesday 18th April at 9am at www.hmvapollo.com and through Ticketmaster. Caller lines: . HMV Tickets 08432 221 0100 / Ticketmaster 08448 444 748. Tickets are priced at £65.00, £70.00 and £75.00 plus £6 booking fee on all prices. For tickets by post an additional charge will apply.

Hey! A oficial Hammy DVD is unedited... hmmm, they will play at Hammy this 11 & 12 July... hmmm
Hope they'll do a re-release of Wembley DVD!
---
No, i think is fantastic, if they want to play, Hammy is a great choose, just wonder if they'll release a DVD of this tour with something of the Hammy 75.
(In this case, they could want to release the audio of Knebworth 86 with the release of Sonisphere??? Is cancel now, so who Knows??)
Anyway better for me, if we must get something more of the magic tour i prefer Budapest.
