Good stuff, thanks winterspelt :-)

Good post. Thank you, made interesting reading.

With pro crew members, with years of experience of different shows saying the Queen/ Lambert shows are good and Lambert is a great singer, will the Gerry's if this world feel they have to modify their views thus keeping them inline with guys who know what they're talking about. . . .

Just a thought!

Vocal Harmony: I do not have to modify my views on Adam Lambert because they remain the same, He can not do justice to any Queen song,
He does not have a personality and he is only a karaoke singer, Freddie is a massive Legend and musician.
Lambert can not play a note on anything!
I will never ever agree with anyone who thinks Lambert is as good as Freddie because its a square in a round hole, and they are talking utter rubbish.
Queen have now gone tits up without Freddie.

You are welcome.

Interesting read indeed, I always love the technical side of tours and this one seems like a really tricky for techs but once they knew how to make things work, it was very easy for them to make things work...

Gerry, Vocal Harmony did not say Adam Lambert was as good a singer as Freddie, he said he was a great singer. 2 totally different things, check what you read. Freddie is a legend, correct, and by definition alone, always will be. And as he was taken from us so cruelly and too damn quickly we Queen fans who unfortunately only got into the greatest band in the universe in 1986 and never actually got the chance to see the great Man himself in action, we or I myself will take any chance I can get to see the remaining members, in whatever form that maybe (well maybe not every form), displaying their awesome skills to the world. If you want to remember the Queen that was, that is absolutely fine Gerry, there is nothing at all wrong with that, in fact I admire you for it, but just remember there are other people out there who think differently, and there is also nothing wrong with that.

Don't bother, anniestu44b. Gerry never does any fact checking, and will never admit when he gets other peoples' words all wrong (which happens a LOT with him, as well as inventing things people never said in the first place). He's a bit of a narcissist.

Rather have Lambert with them rather than nothing at all.

If it wasn't for him - I would've gotten a chance to see Brian and Roger three times earlier this year.

Inu-liger, Gregsynth, both good points. I can't wait until I see them in Glasgow in January. It's gonna be SOME show!!!!

ANNIESTU44B: Just read your post, firstly i have seen Freddie live 5 times, so i know what i am talking about,
when i say Lambert just does not cut the mustard in the way Freddie did, also the atmosphere within Queen has soured
now that Lambert has his feet under the table, there is nothing regal and royal about Queen anymore sorry.
Freddie had so much style, power and regal qualities when one went to his shows it was a very special event.
Sure there is nothing wrong with all the kids wanting to go and see Lambert but i pity them all because Queen back in the old days were
absolutely stunning live, and Freddie knew how to wow a crowd.
To be honest Lambert is as irrelevant as any other American idol to me, and contrary to what Brian said that Lambert doe not copy Freddie
well he does, especially with all that leather, and those hand movements flapping all over the place.
He is pretending to be something he can not be in a million years - a legend.

Guaranteed! I saw them twice this year, I can say it really is an excellent show :)

Yes Inu-liger, I saw them at The Hammersmith Apollo, they were still finding their feet then but they still had the crowd rockin!
I see Gerry is still beating his chest on this one! Gerry, it is what it is.

And Aldo Gerry, again if you read things carefully, you cant even respond to a compliment. I do worry about society sometimes.

Bloody auto correct. Also not Aldo lol.

annie: i know it was a compliment and i thank you for that lol
But i do get the feeling these days that Brian thinks the band is his decision alone to do what he wants
as Roger has no say what so ever!
You must admit he has ruined who they were, and anyone can sing with Queen these days, Queen + whoever!
like the name Queen gets tossed around like a whore!
yes i am beating my chest with anger but one thing is for certain i will not be attending any of the uk shows next year.
Queen have had there day, and now Brian just does this as a hobby.
I cant take anything serious what they do anymore, not after this circus.
Brian may recorded with druggie Dappy, and Five, not to mention other embarrassing projects, and now decides
that a reality singer (Lambert)can sing anything as good as Freddie ever could, for goodness sake Brian get real.
