spot on pittrek. its been damaged by lambert but BM and RT did that sometime ago trying to team up with whoever is hip or cool in the pop world at the time. Ironically, I always thought it was BM and RT who were the heavy rockers in the band and Fred and John who were the pop fans. Comparing Lambert to Jagger is a joke btw. Anyone else see the irony in BM/RT have now replaced fred with a guy who so badly wants to be a fred clone/replica (a shit one in my view) but professed they didn't want to originally try and get someone to 'replace' fred. PR never tried to be camp or copy fred that's what made the qpr thing great, Lambert is just the latest in a line of horrendous collaborations BM/RT have got involved in.

The concept of ruining a legacy is just so fundamentally flawed.
There is nothing Brian, Roger, John, Wyclef Jean, Adam Lambert, Alvin and the Chipmunks or Chuck Norris can do to undo the fact that Queen put out phenomenal albums in the 70s and sold hundreds of millions of them with songs that will be loved centuries from now.
Even Gary Glitter having diddled little kids and rotting in jail for it does not change the fact that Rock and Roll Part 2 exists and kicks ass.[/QUOTE]
Disagree with the Glitter reference. The song might still exist, but show me a radio station that would play it now. The guy was literally wiped out by the media, rightly so.

this ^^ applies fully from 1972 including and until about every other top ten hit he had til june of 1975.
see, it's simple really. a song is class - because it is...that's for eternity.
a band can cease being class - as some (arguably incl queen) are. but a "legacy" is - as a belonging - historic by nature, therefore they cannot really harm their past...only their future past.

Queen + xyz, the horrible musical, badgers, universe and remixes........can´t list it all......
It's a shame...

Queen + : Freddie is not here, and John is retired. Brian and Roger need musicians, so what's wrong? If you don't like the artists they chose is just your personal opinion, don't listen.
The horrible musical: Again. personal opinion. WWRY was critically acclaimed and a long runner.
Badgers: Environmental affairs are one of the most important issues the world has.
Universe. Brian is a scientist, what do you want? He will not play the guitar 24 hours at day, he is not a machine.
Remixes. All bands do remixes, i don't like them.

Queen is a legacy in itself. It can't be ruined to start. Now then: Every time I see new kids that find Queen for the first time, or for the last decade (I've been a Queen fan for more that 3 decades...wow. Time flies) acting in a purist way, I can't help but smile. I certainly understand your genuine effort and desire to be accepted and seen as real Queen fans just because you disapprove collaborations and projects that Brian and Roger do. I'm with you that some of the things they've done are plain hideous for-my-own-personal-taste but that doesn't 'mean that they're smearing or destroying the brand or the legacy. THAT can't happen.
I certainly don't love e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g they do (I'm hardly a yes-man kind of fan) but I appreciate a lot the effort that Brian and Roger are doing. Why? Just because that is what they do! Music. It's in their veins. That just says to me that they are genuine musicians that simply can't do or live without playing because that is who they are!
As for the John Deacon mystery.....well I can only say this: Who wouldn't like to be retired after 40 living off your royalties??
I do like my co-workers a lot and I love what I do for a living but if I ever have the chance to retire early...well I wouldn't hesitate. He has worked for his well deserved retirement. That is all. No mystery.
My 2 cents.

Adam has more of a rock background than you are aware of -- IMO he is NOT ordinary and is more than qualified to sing with the Queen guys -- no vibrato, that's a lie. FYI, Brian calls him extraordinary .........

Wow. What a load of bullshit. So much ignorance. So much Jealousy. So little intelligence! Their legacy is intact and forever will be. It's a pity some peoples brains aren't.
Queen was Freddie Roger Brian and John. This is Queen+. A completely different incarnation. Get used to it.

I think Adam singing the three songs in the is amazing. And Crawl Thru Fire IS his song.

Mr. Mouth,
Why don't you put your money where your MOUTH is. Make a YouTube video of yourself (with your karaoke background) singing any one of these songs and we will compare and judge whether Adam is karaoke singer.

right my turn....i have to say i am still undecided about adam lambert.....but saying that i have got my ticket for glasgow(£77+booking fee)...now i am willing to give the guy a chance...and yes i dont think he fits some of queens heavy records,,,but melodicaly he is good....i am not going to get in a discusion about technicks etc because i dont understand the various tones of a singer.he either can or cant sing a song....BUT both my boys said they wont go because they dont like him...wheras on the other hand many people from my work and private life(mostley female)say he has a stunning voice which is fair enough.he attracts more female than male followers,because his style is more pop than rock...and why am i going to see them,,,well as a queen fan i must admit i will buy or listen to most queen stuff,and the chance to see bri/rog for another time pleases me.....as long as the guy sings in tune and has good crowd interaction i dont mind....so for what could possibly be the last time because of there ages.i will be at the hydro glasgow singing along,,,as will many thousands of others...can i just point out.......ITS ONLY A BLOODY RECORD,,people get so excited about these things........now sits back and waits for the shit to hit the fan lol..

I Dont think so...Queen´s Legacy is beyond Roger and Brian mistakes.
