‘I don’t think those guys want to’: Adam Lambert nixes idea of a world tour

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:

Lambert has delivered it every time flawlessly.[/QUOTE]

That's actually one of the better versions Lambert sang on (except that final note was terribly flat). Lambert sounds better on faster/more upbeat material compared with the slower songs (His AOBTD performances are pretty good).

Holy fuck man, how does doing anywhere from a measly 1 to 6 shows a year with Queen constitute a huge distraction to his career when taking into account a whole year minus 2 weeks at the very worst overall that he has available to him to pursue other stuff?

Your logic there would hold more appropriate water on a "Glee" forum, not a Queen fan forum. Again, you have only proven yourself yet again to be a very flawed individual.

Magsmagenta: No matter what i say ignorance is bliss on these pages!
Yes i know lambert has a new album coming out but he has been involved with May and Taylor
for a while now, so it aint a one off as (someonewholikesadam) said above!
I think even paul rodgers is pissed off with may and taylor for getting lambert back on a few dates with them.
i referred to (inu-liger) as been born in 1986, as he has missed Queen when they were a proper group
as of now they are a skeleton of a group that they used to be.
I am know he has liked Queen since 97 and that is great, but he really should not patronise me because i
have supported Queen for 41 years,they have been in my life since i was 9 years old, and im 49 now,
all these young kids on here dont know it all, they only think that they do.
Dont forget Freddie was voted best rock singer ever, something Lambert will never achieve in his life time.

Ignorance was never bliss, as you're so good at demonstrating. Adam is doing one solitary show with them this year, for the whole year, the other shows were last year, I know I was there. How is one single show in a year going to distract him from making his album? And I'm 46 now and they've been in my life for as long as they've been in yours. I never got to see them with Freddie, which I will always regret, but it always looked like there would be more time. I'm just grateful for what I'm getting.
And it just so happens that I discovered Adam separately and I adore him.
I'm almost the same age as you but you seem such a bitter old man and I'm glad I haven't turned into a bitter old woman who the world is leaving behind as it's obviously leaving you behind.
I'll always love the old bands and singers, but they aren't getting any younger, the same as the rest of us, soon all the old classics will be too old to tour and I'm not ready to live on nostalgia. Youth is in the heart, and you seem to have lost it. I almost did as well but Adam gave it back to me because he is a true performer in the classic sense of the word, and in this age of autotune and lip syncing that's pretty rare these days.
So if you really can't stand the reality that the world moves on regardless of how we feel about it then just shut yourself in your room with your vinyl and leave the rest of us to enjoy the good things that are going now, while we still can.

Notes? Maybe. Soul and conviction? Meh.

He is just a wannabe like i said earlier, notice the copy cat black nail varnish he wears cos he is itching to be Freddie![/QUOTE] Okay now Gerry. I just gotta school ya. And now one of his own. Yeah, he really needs Brian and Roger.

Don't bother. Gerry's clearly stuck in his arrogant snobbish ways.

Do you honestly think i care about all you loosers on here supporting lambo?
May and Taylor have had there Magic years with Freddie, and lambo is just a hobbie
for them to get on the road with.
Im not a bitter old man im just so passionate about Freddie, and yous lot need
to hang your heads in shame for saying the things you do, its like you dont give a fuck about Fred
and lambo is now so fuck freddie.
Well i cherish all my Queen collection, and lambo isnt any where in that lot,
My standards are higher than yours, only because you never got to see Freddie live,
and i did, and thats why i can compare the hash lambo makes of the Queen catalogue.
No one on these pages ever supports Freddie only me, so all of yous are not true ardent fans
your just a fucking disgrace who support an american w***er !

Anaemic. Glad his gigs with Queen are only a temporary thing, and hope he goes on to do better things that what he's shitting out at the moment.

Hey at last someone who feels the same as me about lambo.
This place is supposed to be called the Queenzone not the Lambo zone!
you know Queen, with that amazing genius who was called Freddie Mercury,
the guy who stole live aid!!
lets start supporting this guy, instead of supporting a nobody like lambert who has done fuck all
for the rock industry!
he is suited with the rocky horror show, thats his standards folks!

Anaemic barely covers it. If Lambert moves you other than to your mouse to get him the hell out of your ears and field of vision forget music and take up crocheting phentex toilet roll covers. Seriously. Soulless, pointless. And he looks fucking ridiculous too.

(MYSHARONA) i agree with you lambo does look like a dogs dinner and a drag artist!
he is painful on the eye too!
He could of been a love child to eddie izzard!!

^^^ and "looking like a drag artist is a reason to hate someone?
what a load of f*cking rubbish...because you just debunked your own liking of "Freddie Queen"...because from 1973-1977 - the nail varnish, zandra rhodes outfits, various sequinned leotards, the harlequin, the eye-liner, bracelets and ballet shoes - Freddie looked EXACTLY like a drag queen...
70s bowie also - as well as many other great 70s bands - sweet etc

ps - i could'nt give a f*** about AL - regardless of who they work with - queen have done very little post 1995 worth listening to

THANK YOU, brENsKi, for helping point out gerry's double standards. Like I said, he has no credibility left, he did a good job killing it on his own.

Gerry, YOU FAIL :-)

BRENSKI by todays standards Lambert is out of vogue, where in Freddies days everybody was glammed up,
i dont just dislike lambert for the way he looks but simply because he has no charisma or special qualities
and he is doing what boy george did over 30 years ago with the way he looks been outrageous.
Actually i do agree with you about Queen, when you say they have done very little post 1995 worth listening too
just goes to show that they have lost there way since freddie passed away!
And by the way (inu-liger) i dont give a fuck what you think about me, im older and wiser than you
and i have better musical tastes than you.
i surprised you dont worship justin bieber!
