I am sure that is the news for the 2012 cancelled Sonisphere gig.

I think "The Prodigy", "Iron Maiden" & "Metalica" are headlining this year. 4th-6th July[/QUOTE]


Yep, all of which I would rather see than Q+AL, which is why I am going.

Prodigy? They're not dead yet?

I still don´t know: Who is "Adam Lambert"???????
It seems nobody outside US knows this guy.....

It´s like "Queen + Paul Smith", "Queen + Frank Miller", "Queen + John Brown", "Queen + Richard Jones" ..........

Oh, I´m tired of that singer-chaos....soon forgotten celebrety meets aging former rock idols......

Go to the studio, get your guitars and drums working - that´s the only thing people still interested in.....

yay, oh well better get saving again, hopefully they play somewhere else in the UK

Ye ,I think forget all this nonsense with glambo, get in the studio record New songs with people like George Michael, Annie Lennox, Robert plant,foo fighters etc, now that would be epic, but give it that trademark Queen sound, harmonies, layered guitars, everything but the kitchen sink, if it's the final album of new stuff, go out all guns blazing !!!!!

[QUOTE] [b]Mr. Bed Guy wrote:[/b] I still don´t know: Who is "Adam Lambert"??????? It seems nobody outside US knows this guy..... But you know what Mr. Bed Guy? Most people in this forum hate Adam. They hate Adam with Queen and they say he is talentless. I kind of agree with them a little bit in one respect. Although I think Adam is fine with Queen, it is nothing compared to when he performs his own music. He is LOADED with talent. In fact, I wish Brian and Roger would leave Adam be (they love him). He needs to start putting more time and energy back into his own music. He feels it is such an honor to perform with them that he doesn't like to turn them down. But when Adam is being Adam and performing for his own fans, he is just great. And his concerts are so damn much FUN!

OK, thanks, here in Germany he´s absolutely unknown (what doesn´t mean anything...)
I guess they won´t sell 100 tickets here......German fans are very very faithful (fans of any band, like Magnum, Saga, Toto and all the other classic rock bands !!!!!),
Every Queen release hits the charts, but only the classic line-up is accepted.......

I personally don´t like that permanent changing singer thing (Queen + xyz), too.
Paul Rodgers was "ok" (...), I went to two concerts here, but his bluesy style didn´t fit 100% and I think a teenage idol, celebrety, doesnt fit at all......it´s far too much for an old fan, isn´t it??????

I prefered studio work only instead of line-up chaos....

I´ve watched the videos...and sorry..............it´s horrible............a painted Boy-George-clone.........

It´s no hate - I just absolutely don´t like style and voice of that guy, sorry sorry sorry.

And much to my dismay, Adam has toned down his look considerably and doesn't do the "Boy George" look any longer. And Adam is known in Germany. http://voices.yahoo.com/adam-lamberts-album-singles-sales-7283248.html?cat=2 And he can do the non-Boy-George look just fine.

It´s ok, thanks for your words.

There are so many musical and optical styles, we all like different things.

I´m more interested in the "classic" style and old-fashioned singers....

And still, I don´t think many people know him over here, as Americans may not know the German Idol finalists....which I absolutely underZZZZZZtand ;-)

The Hammersmith show was great. Except a large proportion of the audience were AL fans so probably thought it was a bit rubbish.

He absolutely nailed the slow songs (WWTLF was the best I've head it) but the rockers were a bit much for him. Although that might have just been a matter of him being unfamiliar.

Hated the bass solo in Dragon Attack, but liked AL's top during it so you win some you lose some.

Agree totally. Very enjoyable show. And it felt more like a Queen show than any of the Paul Rodgers shows
