Queen’s Brian May Looked to Freddie Mercury For Inspiration During Health S

Real wizard, you silly silly boy, read what i put down before flipping,
i said Lambert has not witnessed Freddie live, he has only caught up with Mercurys
performances on video so he can not feel in his soul what a stunning performer Mercury was.
Have you ever seen Freddie in concert?
You come away thinking my god that guy is awesome, and that is something the kids of today have missed.
No one could do what freddie did.
now read this slowly before you have another hissy fit darling. l.o.l

If you want to refer to my rationality and calling you on your childish bullshit a "hissy fit", then whatever floats your boat !

And I won't even bother to address the obvious revisionist history in your last post. Anyone with a partially functioning brain can discern truth from the crap you spout out every time you speak.

Your avatar photo is Mercury hitting a mini Paul Rodgers in the head with a shovel. You're stuck in the past and you are completely intolerant of anything beyond your scope of thinking. You are just too self-absorbed and short-sighted to see it. Sad, actually.

These are threads about the coming shows with Adam Lambert. If you don't want to go to the shows, then don't. Stop beating people over the head with the same repetitious sanctimonious crap that we heard when Bri and Rog toured with Paul Rodgers, or when Sammy Hagar replaced Diamond Dave, or when Pink Floyd continued without Roger Waters, or when Sabbath continued with Ronnie after Ozzy left, etc. etc.

It really is boring.

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.


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 !?

Dear Bob,

I'm so sorry, I'm ever so glad that you kindly have put me straight in that manner. I never ever thought that I was the one who is responsible for the destruction of Queen's legacy. What will happen to me, will you send me to the path of nevermore, I'm I banned on Queenzone? How can I go? What can I say, what can I do (Boz Scaggs)....

Tom

No mention of other artists here, please. It's disrespectful to Freddie.

.[/QUOTE] two top notch albums....definitely

Yup, yup and yup.

Cool, I'm not the only weirdo who prefers Van Hagar. Eddie as guitar hero is of course nothing short of brilliant, but with Hagar the songs started to mean something. Right Now is one of the best songs ever written, and Balance is my favourite VH record. And then it went tits up..

High Hopes is one of the best Floyd tracks ever. Just magnificent.

And Heaven and Hell is the best Sabbath album after Sabotage, hands down.

I totally agree on Pink Floyd`s "High hopes", saw them in Hannover 94`...awesome show !

hey...it was about to go off topic anyway :)

Lucky you.

I had a chance to see Gilmour in 2006 with Rick Wright (read: HALF of Pink Floyd) and I turned it down.

Needless to say, it's the biggest concert regret of my life.

And they played High Hopes on that tour.

Dont care what yous lot say on here cos theres millions of RESPECTFUL Queen fans who feel
very strongly towards Lambert touring with Queen.
yous lot are not real ardent Queen fans but just admirers it seems, even though you have all the albums
you still dont get it do you.??
A lot of fans over europe detest Lambert fronting Queen, as they appear to be very protective
towards the legacy of freddie like i do, and in japan they have not even heard of lambo!
so yous lot say what you want but dont forget why we are all on this site, because of the 4 guys
who captured our hearts, Freddie, Brian, John, & Roger.
i will never accept any other line up, no way!

and i thought i was in a minority of 1, on the van hagar thing? nice to see someone like-minded. I've liked SH's voice since the montrose days and his solo stuff....i personally think that he was a better fit for VH than Diamond Dick. Think DLR's vocals come across a bit "amusing/tongue in cheek", whereas Hagar has a great rock vocal and his time with VH was great.

H&H imo - better or equal to anything sabbs did before or since

Brian May said today on the radio that he was in awe of adam lambert fans buying all the tickets for the up and coming Queen tour,
he said not many Queen fans are buying tickets as they are all Lamberts fan base, which proves my point that real Queen fans cant be arsed
with the charade of lambert touring with Queen, fact!

Great points made by Ludwigs, Wizard, brENsKi and TomP63. Gerry seems to be living in a different universe to the rest of us.

I think that all of us would agree that Queen were an amazing BAND. Note to Gerry Band, not a singer leading three blind sheep. But as with anything in life, things change and move forward. You can't stand in one place for ever. Time doesn't allow it. Unless your Gerry of course.

Everyone on here has now read Gerry's very narrow minded views on Queen, Its members those who have worked with them and those who CHOOSE to follow what they still do.

In order to save Gerry having type any more, and us read anymore, wasted thoughts on the subject of BM and
RT's choice of vocalist here's what needs to happen. . . . .

Gerry put on a set of head phones, pick your favourite Queen album, I'm guessing greatest hits. Put it on repeat play and turn the volume up. Take a tube of super glue and apply it to the five digits of your left hand, having done that press your right and left hand fingers together. Once the glue has dried you can continue to listen to your beloved Freddie and at the same time not have the distraction of being able to login and type anything on QZ. Thus freeing yourself of the need to prove something only you believe and also freeing space for reel Queen fans to have reel discussion's.

The effect on you might be a bit like being on heroin, a repetitive stupor but at a fraction of the cost. The effect on the rest of us will be freedom from such a small minded attitude towards music!

vocal harmony: you may make fun of me, but at least im not like yous lot on here "pure scabs" because i happen to think more of freddie to what you knobs do.
If lambet is the future of Queen then i do not wish to know
and yes i will listen to Queen on cd in there glory years because Queen are crap without freddie now, and it was freddie that held that group together like glue.
Be my guest and "move on" to a future with May, Taylor
and lambert but they will never be as big as in there hey days with Mercury.
Queen ticket sales are down and thats official today from Brian May, apparantly Adams fans are buying all the tickets and the ever faithful Queen fans are not!
So vocal harmony i aint alone in this debate, and you are the wrong along with the rest of the sad shower on this site. Now go and change your nappy.

Your very good at direct insults. . . .

You seem to forget "the glue" that kept Queen together in the mid 80's was Brian. If Mr Bad Guy hadn't stiffed big time do you really think Freddie would have been in a hurry to make another Queen album.

When left to his own devices Freddie couldn't produce an album which stood up to what Queen could produce and in some cases just sounded like very well fleshed out demos of song that Queen should have recorded.

Out side of the band Freddie was nothing special as a writer. Barcelona worked because the album was a joint effort with outside writing contributions.

Freddie was a great front man, and someone who sometimes had great ideas, but without the other three. . . . Or someone else to work with the glue didn't really stick anything together. RT is a far more broadly gifted musician and writer.

But you carry on about how Freddie was the only reason Queen achieved anything. Those of us with an open mind will always see a different world to the one your living in. By the way, yous is not a word. And the history of Queen according to Gerry is wrong!

Vocal Harmony: i was not going on about Freddies solo work i was simply saying that freddie
as a lead singer and song writer was the glue that held the band together.
Bohemian rhapsody, somebody to love, seven seas of rhye, dont stop me now, etc......
Those songs made Queen huge and well known and written by Freddie.
Roger Taylors song writing did not come into its own until the mid 80s.
Sooooooooo it was king Mercury that blended opera and rock together in many of the bands songs,
instantly recognisable and made Queen rock gods.
Just for the record freddie has written more singles for Queen than Taylor.
yes we know Mr bad guy was a flop but it was freddie messing around with disco/funk etc.....
people liked freddie more when he was doing rock/opera songs.
So please some respect for Freddie on this site and stop dissing him off, he was the voltage in Queen.
