Queen were not Queen when freddie replaced Tim Staffell they were "Smile", and if it was not for Freddie Queen would not have existed.
Freddie gave the band that style, very grand, polished feel
and he invented the Queen crest.
He was like what a spark plug is in a car.
No spark plug no car, No Freddie no Queen.

electric cars don't need spark plugs.
and in any case, if freddie was the spark plug, then who was the steering wheel?
and are you calling Adam Lambert a "spare tyre" ?

Adam Lambert does not have any input in Queen, why should he.
He does very little apart from screach and look like a lesbian cat!

"Speaking of Genesis and comparisons, at least I'm sure the Lambert haters would still agree Lambert makes a much better effort than Ray Wilson did. Hell, Lambert doesn't need songs tuned down FOUR keys for instance like Ray did on songs like "Land Of Confusion""
Maybe right.
But Ray Wilson was a rock singer before and after Genesis. He did a great job at Genesis and does it til today. Saw him live several times. Great. Underrated. But public wanted the poppy Phil Collins.
AL is a plastic pop baby which would already have been forgotten if he hadn`t get that Queen-job....
Alternatives of same type could have been Jason Donovan or Mr. Blobby.

Yes Mr. Bed Guy you are right.
Word!

Mr Blobby would have made a better job than AL. lol

so in essence, you're admitting he's not a "spare tyre" he's ALL of the "wheels and tyres"

A lesbian cat?! Lol.
I couldn't really care less about the ongoing antics of QAL to be honest. I hope the tour is successful and the guys enjoy doing it but that's about as far as it goes. Queen were the 4 original members of the band, and no I don't mean the few bass players they had before John Deacon joined.
No matter what Brian says, he knows this ISNT the same as what they had before 1991. I can remember when Queen Rocks came out and he commented on the recording of 'No-One But You' - basically the gist of it was they were trying to do a Queen track without Queen. He and Roger know this current 'line-up' is just showcasing Queen's music to a new audience. It doesn't impact on anything they did pre-1991. As long as they don't forget their history and occasionally release product from the period 1970-1997 that'll be fine with me.
They look like they are listening at least and maybe people like Greg Brooks, Gary Taylor and Rhys Thomas are some of the reasons why we got Rainbow and the few additional tracks on Forever this year. Maybe they need a kick up the backside once in a while to get them to release this stuff we've all been asking for since around 2000.

Excellent post. Good sentiments towards the success of the project while understanding that it's nostalgia for times that can never be replicated. People who believe this is Queen or that this is the best live they've ever been are stepfords or delusional. It's 50% of the band trying to keep the brand alive which os awesome, but they are a shadow of Queen of the 70s and 80s.

He's had two top 3 Billboard albums, he already is a rock star.

Girls again wasting there pocket monies!
Lambert will not break into in the uk, i am sure of that.
He is now too reliant on May & Taylor and if they were not around he would disappear
like fairy liquid down the sink! lol
