Brian: Show with Adam Lambert is equal to Freddie Mercury

Queen's Brian May: 'Our show with Adam Lambert is equal to anything we did with Freddie Mercury'

Disgusting and disrespectful...

Brain is going slightly mad

Well, that's a hell of an overstatement. Voice technique and vocal abilities aside, Adam cannot connect with an audience the way Freddie did.

Well, he sure as hell connect with THIS audience!

I am going to see the guys in January, but I'm sorry, Glambert will not come close to Fred, it will be a great show I know that, but having seen Queen many times with Fred, it will not compere ! Still excited though :-)

This is the last drop from Brian to me .
I will no longer respect his opinions.
Disrespectfull and total madness to say.
I hope John Deacon time is to say couple od things to Brian even public.
For me from now i will listen nad treasure Queen from 1971 to all things they do without Freddie...Some things with Paul Rodgers are great but all shi. with modern dummies nad X factor moments are disrispectfull nad annoying especially with Adam Lambert wich to be honest my friends I allways disgust

If he were referring to COSTS OF PRODUCTION he'd be right.unfortunately he's referring to talent and direction, scope and energy, for which he's absolutely wrong.

That's probably the most damning statement he could make (in the perspective of UBER fans)

pretty sad considering Freddie was a talented musical genius with incredible range and presence and Adam is a guy filling in a role pretty... somewhat adequately?

(His rock stuff doesn't make the grade)

Geez.

The man has lost his buttons? What would lead him to spout such nonsense? Are tickets not selling well for the UK leg? Is he trying to convince those holding out to go?

Inexplicable.

/Quite.

Brian is trying to put bums on seats! Although he gone too far claiming the show with Lambert is equal to the tours in their heyday. Ask yourself Dr May what job would a young Freddie have done with the Set that Lambert gets to perform??? We'll never know but I bet we know one would be talking about Lambert in the same breath. Any fool could see the HIV was affecting Freddie during the Magic Tour and perhaps during the Works Tour that said Live Aid against Doctor's order pull that one off Lambert you preening poseur. One of Freddie great perform traits whilst performing Live particularly in the eighties he wasn't just pushing the gay ticket he was singing to the whole Rock 'n' Roll audience.
John Deacon should be pissed too! What a brilliant Bass player replaced by a musician for hire with an adequate technique. BTW Fairclough your solos in AOBTD are shit.......

^incongruous statements aside, I'm pretty damn upset as well! !


Freddie wrote music with the fellas.


This kind of insult is hard to deny.... especially once the press has a hand in it.


Again,... Adam fires off WWTLF brilliantly. BRILLIANTLY. ... but everything else is beyond second rate. He can't sing ROCK. He can't do ROCK.


Jesus. . .. what a loud mouth claim.

So, basically, Brian and Roger are basically idiots because they give a positive opinion on a subject some of you dont like...?

@winterspelt Do you agree with their statement ? Because what they say dangerously similarly sounds like: "If we would start a group with Lambert instead of Mercury, we would be in the exact same spot right now".
