If Adam Lambert buggered off, who wold you like to see fronting Queen?

Brenski: Yes i am a Queen purist and proud, but this thread was a light hearted opinion for fans asking who they would have chosen to guest sing with Queen.
Your calling Deep purple a karaoke version of themselves
well that entirely sums up Queen now!
Have you notice Queen have stopped all the massive lighting rigs and scaled it down to a bare minimum?

Holly2003: Your post was spot on and i agree Brian should just concentrate
on a new album or even make an album with Roger on re-takes of there favourite
Beatle, hendrix etc songs!
Just think Brian and Roger doing there version of Bostons "More than a feeling"
or Bachman Turner Overdrives "You Aint seen nothing yet" Awesome!

Purple are a karaoke version of themselves (IMO) because they only have 1 of their original five members - Ian Paice. and i know people might argue that the mkII lineup was deifnitive - but Glover and Gillan have both been sacked from the band previously - Gillan and his screaming tonsils - on more than one occasion.

As for lighting-rigs - i think that's got nothing to do with the argument. it doesn't make a band karaoke if they don't have huge stage sets. some might argue that the bigger the show the less there is actually worth seeing/hearing?
As in the expression "all flash and no substance" - a facade if you like.

neither of them could reach Brad Delph's notes - in fact I doubt Freddie coulda reach the high extremes of Brad's range.

The current lighting rig is massive and spectacular! Are you guys blind? As well as deaf and dumb? Yes, Adam doesn't have Freddie's tone in his voice, but you can't hear for the life of you what he does have? Why do you want a Freddie impersonator instead of a guy with his own unique talent? I admire Brian and Roger for being so smart to recognize that Adam Lambert is the perfect fit for their music!

They were ready to hire him back in 2009 when he sang with them on the Idol finale based on his powerful voice alone not to mention his charisma and showmanship!

I paid $150 for the Chicago show and $150 for the Detroit show and it was worth every penny!

Brad is very good singer but in a way of strenght or sing high like Freddie is immposible. You forget when Freddie sings high he is like a powerhouse,so much strenght in that notes that itsure can fill stadiums withou mic..hehe
Freddie Mercury is Real Deal, its just a fact,he is the one you cant argue abou nothing just deal that he is the best!
Look at Montreux86 his vocal exhibition.. He kils it with strenght,POWERFULL!!

I'd like to see a witch doctor or someone like that raise Freddie from the dead and have his unholy resurrected self front Queen. It would certainly mean a lot of free publicity, and might generate a certain amount of appeal amongst metal fans, virtually guaranteeing a 'harder' setlist for the tour. If we all chip in I think this could really work.

wow yeah i remember freddie at montreux rock festival 1986
and his voice did shake the place to its foundations and what about freddie at "Live Aid" ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooo!
That vocal was outstanding and unbeatable.

Yes, that is the only thing that will satisfy you guys! Ha! Ha! How about a hologram of Freddie like they did of Michael Jackson at a recent award show?

One thing I have to say that Adam has in common with Freddie is that they both have bat shit crazy fans!

Gary Cherone,George Michael or Dieter Thomas Kuhn

Gerry are you blind. The production, including lighting is the biggest Queen have toured with since The Magic tour. The lighting rig is big, by any standards, A wall of lights either side of a central screen, plus over head and floor level lighting.

Incase you haven't noticed this is 2014 not the early 80's one Clay Paky or Varilite with colour changing filters will do the job of multiple Par cans with a single gel option. You don't need the same number of lights to gain the same colour coverage. Also modern lamps can often be multi functional a perform the job of flooding/ colour washing or being used as a spot. They are also multi directional which also means less lemmas to do the job.

When you know what your talking about, maybe more people will take note.

surely you mean "that backing tape did shake the place to its foundations" ???
you do realise that it was a mimed performance don't you? Freddie's mike was only really live for the in-between songs banter and the vocal ad-lib thingy.
