Get back to me when lambo hits the top of the uk album charts ha ha you will have a long wait![/QUOTE]
You are serious aren't you Jezza??
Do you really believe making a No.1 in the UK means that you will become an established / successful artist?
Read the facts stated already will you? He has been No.1 in the US already!!!
Quick example for you to muse over - Rush have never had a No.1 album in the UK BUT they far out-sell most other people. (Maybe you've heard of them but aren't familiar with their stuff??
"Rush has released 24 gold records and 14 platinum records (including 3 multi-platinum), placing them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band"
So....just goes to show, you don't need a UK No.1 album to establish yourself and retain that aspect.
We all know you dislike Lambert but just STOP harping on about it!!!!
Didn't 'Hearsay' have a No.1 in the UK??? (Who and where the fuck are they???)

Adam Lambert will never crack the uk market on a grand level and i predict in 10 years time
he will not be bothering us all.
Lets be honest here, if Queen never took him on board he would be up the creak.
He has hardly appeared on uk television shows by himself but i know back in the US he will have a following
but nothing on the millions of fans freddie had.
Yes i do harp on when something is not right, because it is a total embarrassment that Queen are the only
established rock act to take on a reality contestant.
Would the Rolling Stones, Rush, Whitesnake, The Who etc... take on a nobody for there lead singer? i guess not.
On this occasion i feel Brian & Roger got it wrong.
You will say well the tour is sold out, yes but this is based on silly girls supporting madam lambert and Queen fans supporting May &Taylor,
i will be glad when the uk tour is finished and Lambert tries to find his own path and career as far away from the uk as possible.

Why are you still blabbering on about the UK? Nobody cares about the UK, especially not people with no.1 US albums.
Every argument you have made has been destroyed, and you've done nothing but make yourself look like a total fool.
gerry · Member since
sorry but my opinions have been valid.
listen american artists want to crack the UK just as our UK artists want to crack the US.
The UK music industry is the biggest in the world and every artist wants to make it big here.
I think you have lost this argument pingfah.
Pingfah · Member since
Jesus. The UK is not the biggest industry in the world, put down the crack pipe you dribbling moron, the US is almost 4 times bigger in terms of $ value.
Here, school yourself, try digesting some facts instead of just spewing nonsensical bullshit:
The uk music scene is the most respected in the world.
you can stamp your feet all you want but your wrong lol
Here in the uk we have the best artists in the world, The Beatles, Queen, The who, etc.........
I am not talking about how big a country is i am just talking about the quality of artists in general and the very very best
are all here in the uk.
Pingfah · Member since
No, you were very definitely talking about the size of the industry. You JUST said exactly that, and two posts later you are denying you said the thing that is written right there above you.
You are one incredibly stupid person.
gerry · Member since
blah blah blah blah!
you are only as dense as the person you slag off pingfah!
so i am not offended! ha ha.
cheerio now!
Pingfah · Member since
I'll take the fact you've stopped trying to argue your bullshit point, as an admission that you were wrong.
Do have a nice day.

Gerry, if you're going to spout stuff, at least learn some history about the subject you are going on about. David Coverdale was an even less known singer ( world wide then Lambert ) when he joined Deep Purple, the same is true of Graham Bonnet when he joined Rainbow, Brian Johnson when he joined AC/DC. . . Marillion, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Journey all recruited singers who were less well known, and in some cases never heard of before.
As for Rush they are huge, but as Ludwigs pointed out they don't have the media acceptance in the UK their record and ticket sales should bring them.
The fact YOU don't like Lambert's voice doesn't mean he is a bad singer or not deserving of his achievements
gerry · Member since
never said he was a bad singer because he would be ideal for the west end productions with the likes of michael ball etc.....
all i am saying is he really is not my idea of a great singer within Queen.
David Coverdale is a better singer than lambert.

And ... Gerry has his ass handed to him for the hundredth time, and doesn't realize it, for the hundredth time.
I actually feel sorry for you and your complete inability to mentally function as an adult.

Most of those bands were still in their prime when they recruited their new singers. I'm not sure this is a great comparison.
Or maybe it is, maybe I just can't stand Lambert being compared with people like David Coverdale and Graham Bonnet.

It really offends me that you call Adam "madam Lambert." What's that all about? Your homophobia showing? Adam probably wishes he had those "silly teen and tween girls" supporting him who support the cute boy bands. They are NOT his fan base. At Adam's solo gigs you will see all ages and all genders, not just silly little girls. BTW he has appeared on the Graham Norton TV show in the UK and has performed a solo concert in the Royal Albert Hall. Isn't that where Adele performed her much touted prestigious performance a couple of years ago?
Just because YOU are not his fan doesn't mean he doesn't have a fan base in the UK: Check it out:

I think Rush is a kind of different case than most of the bands or artists mentioned here.............they never really had the huge hit song like Queen or some others..........never had great 'media acceptance' in other parts of the world either, maybe at times in Canada, I dont know about that..............
