People really gotta stop that "He's not Freddie"-shit. I mean really? No shit! xD
Three years after this topic was started we can say: NOPE.
They are bigger than ever.
Next question!

They might be bigger but it's still crap to me, every time I see them with AL i can't stand it. They definitely ruined the legacy in my mind personally. I know about moving on etc, but this is how I feel.

If it bothers you so much, why do you watch?? Your post says "every time I see them with AL I can't stand it." If you saw them once and couldn't stand it, why did you see them again? You should just stay in your childhood bedroom listening to old Queen albums and bemoaning the fact that Freddie is gone.

You can SEE them on television, even in the US.
QAL performed I Want It All on "Jimmy Kimmel". Lambert seems to have improved over the years as he was able to semi-capably sing this rocker.
However, I saw Q&PR in Chicago several years ago, and although the first half of the concert was excellent, Queen ran out of gas and was only mediocre for the second half of the concert.
Despite Adam's slight improvement, I have no interest in seeing QAL.

I'm glad there's someone who likes adam, and for sure I wont tell you what to do in your bedroom. And yes I can't stand it, stating my opinion either you agree with me or not.
When I say "see them" I don't strickly mean just live in concert, that happened once with AL and never again. I actually felt kinda sad about BM, just didn't feel right, maybe because of the age difference between them, felt like he was trying to hard to be a group with AL, for me Paul Rodgers fitted better because he actually was being himself singing the queen songs, definitely not AL.
And yes, I will keep listening to the "old Queen albums"(are there any new Queen albums that I don't know about? please let me know....), maybe in my bedroom, in my car, or wherever, that would be my business and not yours.

Queen's history can't be undone, but unfortunately, Lambert will always be associated with Queen now and vice versa, therefore most likely at the back end of any book about Queen, and perhaps any possible future documentaries that are made. I don't much like it, as I find Lambert to be cringe-worthy.
Funnily enough, I was on the official Facebook Queen page earlier, and there's quite a bit of Queen+ Lambert stuff, not to mention a bunch of Lambert fans there.
It's kinda shitty in a way if you don't find much likable about Lambert (this was the first time in a long time I'd even gone to look at the official facebook Queen page, as I previously unfollowed as they kept sharing pics of Lambert). Oh well.
I saw Queen+ Lambert in 2012. That was the first time and the last time. I can't stand Lambert's shrill, harsh voice.

If I can speak on behalf of RS Protos, which I can't but will :) I'd guess that it's that there is a lack of emotional intelligence shown by virtually every AL fan who posts here who never saw Queen and has no idea what they were, and base their opinions on how much they love AL. I've posted here on this until I'm tired of my own voice, but as a long time poster here I'd say, SomebodyWhoLovesAdam, you show up here when there is a tour with Al and spout off on how magnificent AL is, but disappear when AL isn't involved.
You and most AL fans have zero idea of who Queen is, and that's great if he brought new fans to Queen. But I saw something on a YouTube post saying that the poster never liked Spread Your Wings or It's Late, but that AL's voice turned them to a puddle and they loved the song after they heard it. That's utter stupidity and childishness if they believe that. Freddie Mercury is arguably the greatest rock singer of all time. Adam Lambert has a beautiful voice. AL doing It's Late is like a Starving Artist painting a Picasso. He knows what to paint and outline, but hasn't the soul for it. I ran track in my day. I was fast. People who saw me knew I was fast. But Usain Bolt would beat me in 100m by 30 m. Doesn't mean I wasn't fast, but I was no Usain Bolt, even if my SheerBrassBulge fans told me I was, No shame in not being Freddie Mercury, but idiotic comment like AL sings the shit out of It's Late lead me to believe that AL fans know zero about music. Zero. Apart from that I am sure you're a lovely person and appreciate your passion for your guy, but he is light years away from Freddie Mercury because he has no soul and can't sing rock and roll. IMHO.

And, a Queen show in the day was a rock and roll show, this is a kitschy, Vegas style of show that reflects AL's sensibilities as a performer. AL has a substantially better voice than Gary Cherone, but Gary Cherone has Freddie Mercury's spirit. Queen would be a better act with Gary Cherone, and an amazing rock act with Freddie Nelson. With AL, they are a perfect nostalgia act with a guy who can hit a lot of notes but for me, and many others, not a lot with conviction.

Adam is one of the most technically skilled singers I've heard. Especiallly live. I know it's taboo to say, but he is a more skilled singer than Freddie.
But I prefer Freddie's voice, in particular tone of voice. It is more pleasing, more palatable to the ear, than Adams voice.
Yeah, I'm a newbie here, but queen fan for quite some time.
Said it before but Adams voice is better suited for GNR and zeppelin songs. Sounds crazy, but I think it's true. Great singer, but voice is just not suited for queen.

How many times did you see Freddie live?

AL lacks the "rock" feel both literal and figurative.
that is he's only fault, a big one!

I say again,I don't think that Adam will be ruin anything.He is good singer,he looks good,I like his songs but
when I say "he is not Freddie" it's not just a phrase.I was 14 years old when Freddie died.A lot of time has passed,I know,but I love Queen and Queen songs when Freddie sing in his own way.He is unique.
To me Queen= Freddie,John,Brian and Roger.With Adam(or someone else) and without John that's something completely different and that not a strange at all.I'm not saying that's not good,just different.
I watched their live performances(Freddie and Adam)only on recording,primarily on You Tube but that does not mean that I can not have my opinion.Musical tastes are different and if everyone has the same opinion it would not be interesting.
If someone read my posts I hope that understand what I want to say and what I mean,because my English is not the best, on the contrary. :D
I apologize for that and hope it will be better.
