Good points by all. Freddie 'grew' Queen. America's ignorance is deeply unfortunate.

I tried to be diplomatic with you, but you obviously have a double digit IQ and a complete inability to put a coherent sentence together to enable you to have a rational discussion with other adults. You sound like you're 12.
I pity you.

Totally!!
Gerry, I sense that you are slightly simple. This is purely based on reading your blinkered, biased, irrational way of thinking.
So, you've been a fan for 40 years?? Me too! I thought I knew lots about Queen but even the majority of fans on this board got into them after Fred died and haven't heard all the albums but....they do know lots of stuff I wasn't aware of.
Perhaps you should sit back, read what you have typed and try to reflect on it. This way you could possibly be seen as someway 'justifying' your opinion/argument??
I'm not into any Queen stuff since Fred died BUT I'm not so prejudiced that I cast down what the remaining pair choose to do. I watched the AL gig vids and some of what he sang was quite respectable - he offered a more 'into/interpreted slant' to the lyrics etc than what PR ever did. Theatrical.....yes but it did add a newer slant to some songs.
Get over it. You have told us YOUR biased opinions now so, shut up going on and on with them. We get it!
Try to use some grey matter and 'up' your argument stance otherwise continue to resort to name-calling due to the obvious lack of articulation!!
(oh, adding m8 onto calling someone a wanker doesn't ease the intention either.....)

Ludwigs: Firstly i find your post very funny especially when you call me "simple" ha ha!
Yous lot are the simple ones taking the crap and hype of Adam Lambert, and saying "oh actually he aint half bad"
in my book that is called a back stabber, and im sure the older Queen fans of 49+ will agree with me that the younger fans just do not know what the real Queen experience was like back in the day when Freddie Mercury was on stage,
he would kick lambos arse over to rio!
I suggest if you like Lambo that much then you join his sad fan base and leave the Queenzone for folk who only appreciate the 4 masters that were Queen.
The same goes to Brenski on here!

I see myself as a old Queen fan, old in age, but also old as I follow the band since 1974, I bought Queen II with my allowance money,. The first Queen concert I saw was in Rotterdam Ahoy in 1977, followed by many, many concerts in The Netherlands, mind you I didn't missed one concert. My first abroad concert was at the famous Milton Keynes, yeah I was the lucky one in those days. I've seen the band in Belgium, Germany, twice at Wembely. It always felt as a privilge to see and hear my favourite band. I was to say the least pissed when people around me told that the band, the whole band(?) was gay and manufactured. But I moved on, I was again in Wembley, this time it was 1992. I've seen The Cross live, Brian live, hell I even saw Queen with Paul Rodgers. I think that Paul Rodgers is an unique singer, but not a singer for Queen songs. But guess what? The very thought to see Brian and Roger on stage, together on stage made me go, I really enjoyed the new style of playing by the axe-man. Brian did a stunning job on Last Horizon. The point were I'm getting at is, I grew up with the band, as wee young lad, to grey slightly older man. I do like the fact that Brian and Roger team up with Adam Lambert, I hate the discussion that Adam is gay, so what. You may have guessed it along the way, I won't see Brian and Roger again on stage, the thrill that I had when both teamed up with Paul Rodgers is gone. But nevertheless I do support the fact that they still want to play. Now its time for the next generation to see Queen, I don't think it is a bad idea to team up with Adam, especially in the US. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward on the new stuff, the stuff with Freddie. And to Gerry, oh Lord, help me to keep my big mouth shut, sometimes I dont know what I'm talkin' 'bout....

My post funny? Confirmation of my initial assumption of your mind-set.
How do you see people as being 'back-stabbers'? The more you ramble blindly with no real creedence to back you up, the more stupid you make yourself look.
You use 'buzz-words'.
I won't bother with joining AL's fan-base. Just because I pointed out that he was quite good in points doesn't mean that I am a fan. I'm not into many things but I am grown up enough to agree that something/ someone is decent enough. I liked Smile BUT I also enjoy Queen. Just because Tim Staffell wasn't in Queen doesn't mean I won't continue to enjoy both.
At 48 yrs old, I'll keep with the stuff I like and choose to ignore anything that I'm not interested in. Why can't you try to do the same.
Instead of ranting endlessly, why not vent more of your fire/passion into learning a little more grammar and as your idol used....articulation!!!! Not that you've told us many, many times that you're approaching 50 I'd have expected better writing.

Well TOMP63 you have your opinions, i have mine but really what do you say about john deacon not approving
Brian & Rogers plans taking Lambert on the road?
If it was only a one off i would have said yeah ok, but May & Taylor have secretly made lambert the new lead singer for Queen.
I feel personally feel gutted and would have thought they could have teamed up with another rock idol to do the vocal works,
Paul Rodgers was a rock idol he had plenty of experience and stage presence but Adam Lambert is just a pretty boy
who looks like something from G.A.Y on a saturday night!
Dont get me wrong im not anti-gay as i adored Fred, but Lambert looks ridiculous on stage with 2 of the biggest rock gods on the planet and he knows he is milking it to further his career, a freebi ticket to get him noticed, i mean lets face it he aint cracked the uk has he!
The thing with me is i am a unique Queen fan, wont be floored by new singers in Queen, i just like the original Queen line up 1971 to 1991.
Anything else is simply not Queen, and as the song goes "you dont fool me"

LUDWIGS, Firstly im very sorry if my grammer does not come up to your expectations,
i do rush writing things down in the heat of the moment and ones fingers do slip on the keys,
please excuse me sir!
i may rant on a bit but its only because i am a passionate Queen fan who hates to see the fans getting ripped off
by a reality star who looks like a dogs dinner caked up in make up and has not got the talent Mercury once had.
Im sorry to say this but May & Taylor are laughing stocks in the rock world now, and there legacy is getting ripped apart
thanks to Lambert.

Gerry,
Old Queen fans, new Queen fans don't get ripped off, by no means. It is a choice you make, the same goes with buying re-issues of the albums, the choice to buy them is with yours. I don't see you as a nasty geezer, or a homofobic guy. But the thing is, I don't care that much if Adam is gay, he is STILL a human being. And lets face it, Adam is given the opportunity to sing on stage with as you say it the biggest rock gods of this planet, Adam is right to accept this wholehearted, what chance will he ever get. That he isn't groundbreaking in the UK isn't really here or there. Face it Gerry, there is a new generation who really like to see this band, mind you there even fans of our generation to see Adam with Brian and Roger. That John Deacon is saying nothing or did not has given his approval, I'm not aware that John Deacon has spoken about this new tour, have you any information about that?

My mistake ... I didn't realize you were the administration here, ideologically vetting every single member to ensure their tastes are equally closed minded to yours.
The anger you're feeling because of a rock band choosing to tour with another singer strikes me as being pretty abnormal, bordering obsessive and juvenile. The fact that this legitimately angers you at age 40-something should probably suggest that you need to get a hobby or something that will make you happy.

You're not anti gay ... you just use the word gay in a pejorative way when it suits your needs. Got it, makes sense now.

Bullshit. If you know how to construct a sentence, you will. Look up some websites or pick up a book on English grammar and spelling. It's g-r-a-m-m-a-r, not grammer. "I" is always capitalized. "I'm" always has an apostrophe. Most of us learned this when we were 8.
Think twice, speak once. You're in your 40s. Time to grow up and learn how to interact with other adults.

How dare you be disrespectful to Freddie like that?
By buying tickets for a concert after 1992 you have contributed to the destruction of Queen's legacy that was built only by Freddie. How do you live with yourself !?

Real Wizard: Tut tut, are you a school teacher now,
picking out faults on my posts, shame on you, is that the only way for you to bitch back at me you sad weevil.
I know what i say is true, but i cannot send loads of people banging on your door to tell you that adam lambert is an insult to Queens legacy (to which he is)
He is only a young guy who was not even born when Queen were the greatest group on the planet, so basically he wont even know what freddie was all about in the 70s and 80s.
You are very dismissive of everything i post on here so i guess you need to see both sides of the coin, and tell the rest on here to wise up too. Freddie is and always will be king of Queen, Lambert dream on babe!

Your brain is just so small.
So you're basically arguing that nobody can understand anyone who is a couple decades older than them?
Nobody under the age of 40 can understand The Beatles?
Nobody understands Darwin, Freud, Shakespeare?
You're making a fool of yourself.
