I don't like Lambert's voice and for me the artistic value of this tour is questionable but credit where it's due -- Lambert seems to be doing everything right, the shows are well-attended, and the reviews are good. By almost any standard it can be measured by, it has been a successful tour.

I understand because I was able to fall in love with his voice slowly over a number of weeks and now a number of years when he has sung so many different types of music from rock to reggae to very soft ballads.

Personally I hope he starts doing more rock.........I actually checked out a Lambert best-of from the library the other day......not really my kind of music, but, of course he does have a hell of a voice............I do rather like the song Trespassing, though.....(almost an AOBTD-meets-WWRY vibe there)

Hi King! That's exactly what was being said about the song Trespassing when it first came out--that it had the same vibe as AOBTD (was written by Adam and Pharrell Williams)! I think Adam really loves AOBTD and is happy to be performing it on the QAL tour. My favorite is Stone Cold Crazy! RCA wanted Adam to do an album of rock covers and that's kind of what caused the parting of the ways between him and the label but it probably would have been a heck of a great album. Have you seen any of his performances of Whole Lotta Love?

having an evident bassline doesn't give it a vibe. if anything, i hear bits of Boney M, Earth Wind and Fire, Joan Jett but no AOBTD, sorry.
as for Whole Lotta Love - please don't cite this as one of his finest rock moments. there's so much wrong with his versions

Actually I was just listening to Aftermath..........and thinking, now that song would be cool with some Red Special all over it......lol...........

Actually I was just thinking it almost sounds like something Roger might have come up with some time in the 80s.............lol

Sweet Caroline, the Foreigner you are going to see is not Foreigner. It is Mick Jones, the second most recognized guy in the band behind Lou Gramm, with some really good musicians playing notes that Foreigner played. That's not Foreigner, it's the brand name that he controls. Roger Hodgson is out on the road playing Supertramp songs, and he is 1/2 of the songwriting team that brought great success to Supertramp, but his band is a bunch of guys playing notes that Supertramp played, but it's not Supertramp. Roger Davies is the other 1/2 of Supertramp's songwriting team, and he is on the road with 3 of the 5 original members touring as Supertramp. Missing Hodgson's sweetness and light playing off Davies' moodier side was a big part of Supertramp. Now they're both out, great songs, great bands but a poor attempt at Supertramp. Queen? Freddie and John gone, suitable replacements, it's the music of Queen that is still greeat but it's the brand Queen you're seeing, not the band Queen. Eddie Van Halen is a more celebrated guitarist than Brian, only a fool would say Brian (who is in the pantheon of all time greats) that is held in higher esteem than EVH as a rock guitarist. If Brian stepped aside after this tour and was replaced EVH, it would be an upgrade in the guitar position for Queen. Except it would be the brand Queen, featuring the guy from Van Halen playing Queen music. That's not Queen. The fact that people like it is the most important thing, regardless of who is singing, and I respect that. But my question to people who throw out the "but they have the right to use the name" argument, which is ludicrous, is this...
John Deacon, lover of funk, hits the road with Errol Brown from Hot Chocolate on vocals, John on rhythm guitar, Sheila E. on percussion, the Earth, Wind and Fire horn section and George Clinton from Parliament Funkadelic as Master of Ceremonies. Is this Queen? And if it isn't I'd love to hear a logical reason why it isn't.

the logical reason why it isn't, is because in the band YOU describe there could well be several claims to their own band names within that lineup. That band could just as easily be EW&F, Hot Chocolate, Parliament, Funkadelic or NPG.
in fact "Chocolate Funk Firepower Parliament Queen" has a certain ring to it

I wouldnt call it Queen......but that would be a cool band! lol
Why do I not a have a problem with Brian and Roger calling themselves Queen..............simply put, cus one of the other guys died, and the other one retired................I might have a problem with it if Freddie were still alive and putting out albums and touring and all.....................
