Oh yeah, SURE, let's play the humour cop out card after the fact, right when someone else also backs me up on calling you out for your BS attitude.
Sorry, but I'm not buying that load of crap.

You dont have to buy what i say bud, just that im a lot older than you so respect that fact,
your only 27 yeah, so when you get to 48 like me then youll be saying "hey Gerry was right all along
over that adam lambert"
Just trying to let you see the bigger picture here!
Or......better still go and ask John Deacon what he thinks of Lambo with Queen!
At least Deacon supports everything Freddie stood for like i do.
Now i wont be replying back, so dont start throwing your toys out of your pram.
Just accept i am right and you need to discover The real essence of Queen
with Freddie Mercury ! Why have water when you can have champagne darling!

Vocal harmony
Gerry, everyone has their own opinion on this subject. What makes you think that the guys from Quo or Paul Mc Cartney would make good vocalists for Queen. Vocal range and dexterity is the problem with what is needed, Rossi and Parrfit are limited in this respect. Paul Mc Cartney fronting Queen, his style is to far removed from many of their biggest hits.
No one will ever fill Freddies shoes, but that doesn't mean that they can't play live or even record again. What's funny is that Brian, Roger and Adam Lambert are aware of the foot steps they tread in, more so than you. They are doing it. You are just sat there moaning that Adam Lambert isn't Freddie.
Simple fact is that no one is Freddie, so if we want to see and enjoy what Queen do we have what we have. Who ever walks out on stage with them, people will always play the he's not as good as Freddie card.
I saw Queen with Paul Rodgers, I enjoyed it but was very aware that it wasn't really Queen. I also saw the Adam Lambert version, same thing, I was aware that it wasn't really Queen, but I enjoyed it more than The PR shows.
I'm just pleased that half of Queen are still willing to go out there and play

no no no (vocal harmony) i didnt mean status quo or Mcartney singing Queen songs live
i meant they could record new material in the studio together.
As you know they will always be fans like me who will not be amused at whom comes on to
the stage singing Queen songs, but if you are not offended then thats fine for you.
My standards are extremely high and i would not pay good money to see a second Queen group
who have long lost there magical sparkle.
just look Queen have not been in the singles charts for years since freddie passed away,
paul Rogers and Queens single "celebrity" didnt chart very well either, proving the British
public knows Queen has lost its Magic without Freddie.
im not in anyway saying i know best its just my personal opinion here.
i will however always strongly support Freddie for without him there would not be a group
called Queen.

I'm always slightly peeved on the band's behalf that they get slagged off for playing with a variety of newer and diverse acts, where's someone like Elton John gets praise left right and centre for joining up with 'trendy' current acts. I suppose the Elton forums might be full of diehard fans that are fuming I suppose......

NO KIDDING. People don't usually seem to give a negative shit there, except for the rare occasion (eg. EJ + Eminem, Grammy Awards 2000)

Queen fans get peeved off because they know Brian and Roger are bigger and more talented than most
so when they come on stage with the likes of lambo we are all thinking what the f**k are those 2 doing with that
small fry!
They are wasting so much time, when Bri and Rog could make a fantastic studio album
with new tracks.
Elton can get away with working with who ever but as you said the fans are not amused.
just heard his new album which is drivel.

I'm just going to stand back and let you all kill each other. Then I'll have Adam Lambert all to myself.

Your very welcome to lambo mrs!
im not bothering anymore explaining myself cos
theres just no support on here for the real magnificant Queen group 1971 to 1991.
so i will just let you easy pleasers continue to soak up all the drivel May and Taylor throws
at you vulnerable lot.
goodbye !

To defend May and Taylor's right to play with Lambert (or whomever they please) is to relinquish all support for the original lineup of Queen (as if they need it)? And to enjoy that two members of Queen are still performing makes one vulnerable?
You may be 48, but your processes of logic lag far behind. You're not as smart as you think you are. If people want to enjoy that Bri and Rog are still kicking, then good for them. You're just a typical old school music fan stuck in the past, and (I reckon) ultimately missed a chance to see two legends when they played Hammersmith last year.
These same arguments came up when they teamed up with Paul Rodgers, another legend in his own right. Plenty of people are kicking themselves for passing up that one.

Understand what you mean, and yeah im sure Brian and Roger are great in concert
but for me and many others its like having a rolls royce but with no wheels on it!
i respect paul rodgers but even he struggled with the Queen back catalogue as many do.
Been smart has nothing to do with my posts on here either, all im saying is that Queen
are not the regal group they once were, and i certainly wont be spending money on tickets
to see some alien singer struggle with the Queen back catalogue, too painful l.o.l

Mercury struggled too. His voice was in tatters at many points in Queen's career on stage.
On the other hand, Rodgers nailed the chorus of We Are The Champions every night flawlessly. And Lambert can nail Who Wants To Live Forever like the album.
^ not that these details make Rodgers and Lambert better singers (or even better for Bri and Rog), but it's not as black and white as you think it is.
Seriously, find me another singer who can nail this song live, and in key:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S54MhfENrY
Lambert has delivered it every time flawlessly.

Lambert should concentrate on his own career but it seems he is concentrating on singing the entire Queen
back catalogue.
well good for him if he can sing "who wants to live forever" well i dont if he insists on staying with Queen!
