Technical discusson about Queen+ Adam Lambert production

ANNIESTU44B: Just read your post, firstly i have seen Freddie live 5 times, so i know what i am talking about,

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.

Yes you saw Queen with Freddie five times, but you haven't been to a Queen+ Adam Lambert show, so your passing comment on something you haven't experienced. As we all know watching something on video is nothing like being there.

As for Adam copying Freddie's leather look. . .

Are you talking about the leather look Freddie nicked from Rob Halford, which he in turn was inspired by Elvis as an image. Or are we talking about the Village People leather image that came direct from the NewYork gay scene.

Gerry do you really have any idea what you're basing your argument on?

I do not need to waste my money on Adam Lambert because it is all hype about him been great, plus i have seen his lousy
performances on you tube and that said it all, he sounds dreadful and looks ridiculous on the stage with Brian and Roger.
To me leather is leather but one thing i do know is, that Lambert will not be remembered in 20 years time.
I do wish he would get on with his career away from Queen, but he needs Queen to make something of himself.

Why are you so bitter? Is it because you can't except Freddie's death? You can't except the show going on?

I think its because of how arrogant Brian has become, forcing this alien singer on us all,
Queen could have auditioned various singers and let the fans choose who they felt fitted the job.
Adam is a canny guy but his not right for Queen,
Those songs are massive massive numbers and even many of today's artists would'nt dare tackle them.
Also those songs were specially penned for freddies personal vocal range, i think in e.flat or something.
It still looks weird seeing Brian and Roger on stage with no John or Freddie been there.
i guess my problem with all of this is it embarrasses me big time.
All the rock fans think its a big big joke.
Just think if Mick Jagger had died and the stones got a new singer from american idol, there would be hell to pay.
Well thats how i feel with freddie gone and a slip of a lad taking his place, its outrageous.

Well quite clearly it isn't because you brought it up as being a problem because Lambert is dressing in it as Freddie did

FFS you claim to be such a Freddie fan but you don't know his range?

Freddie had this image of a butch leather guy where lambert dresses up like the sweet transvestite out of the rocky horror show,
big difference there though lol
Both gay men but freddie had panache"

JEFFBIANO: I told you Freddie composers in E flat.
Brian has a lot of trouble with this but somehow gets there.
If you are such a big fan then tell me what wa the title of the song that freddie penned for one of his fans
who was dying of leukemia back in the 80s, he made a tape and that got burried with the fan.

BM has said that E flat is not a natural place for a guitar player. He doesn't have a lot of trouble with it.

The things he says are difficult are things like the run of notes out of the heavy section of Bo Rhap

yes but Brian has stated many times that freddie made it very difficult for him to record in E flat
he said its something a musician just does not want to do!

You just never cease making blanket statements that are totally off base............all those rock fans think its a joke? So much so that the tour nearly sold out...........it wasn't all Adam fans there, you know....................

I've heard Brian talk about that.............he basically was saying its not a normal key for a guitarist to play and/or compose in, like E or G might be..........but more normal to play and/or compose on the piano (like Freddie might do!)

i think the majority of the audience would be silly little screaching girls howling after Lambert lol
Dont get me wrong if you like it then good for you,
but for me its too tacky now.
To be honest i would rather watch status quo in concert than Queen now, and thats pretty sad coming from me who is probably the biggest Queen fan in my city.

Sometimes I wonder why do people spend so much time in replies to people who just dont want or just dont care about what the other have to say...
Its something that I just cant understand...
