Brian: Show with Adam Lambert is equal to Freddie Mercury

I think that Brian May has more than enough money to be stating unrealistic things. He is simply enjoying his last years when he can entertain, draw in huge crowds, and focus on his personal causes.

Adam Lambert is a very talented vocalist, but this is nowhere near the calibre of the original performances when Queen were in their hay day. What is Brian on? The more he opens his flaps, the less I like him.

To quote Lil' Kim, "You know your mouth's a cage for your tongue if you just close your teeth."

I wonder what Gerry has to say now that the tour is all but sold out, and judging by the New Years Eve show the audience doesn't appear to be screaming 16 year old Lambert fans!

Facts. They burn!

I have never seen a band trying turn on of the coolest rock gigs on earth ,into a total cheese fest ,talent show rejects ,shitty musicals etc included.Please what's left of queen ,go away and take Glambert ,and his fat middle aged female fan girls ,that are all drooling over a gay dude with you.Freddie's last wish to Miami was to never make him boring ,yet queen have done exactly that .I couldn't think of anything more boring than two old dudes hamming it up with a dude that's camper than a row of pink tents ,with his shrill annoying voice ,butchering the masterpieces Freddie wrote .They should have just done solo stuff ,instead of trying to milk money from all the horny ,fat housewives that are lusting after Glambert .The final insult being ,that Brian May himself ,who was most likely enabled by Freddie to have a career in the first place ,now goes around saying how Adam can sing higher ,or whatever .lost all respect

Lucky then that no one is forcing you to watch, listen or buy a ticket to any of this.

Brian wouldn't have had a career without Freddie? I'd dispute that.......

I have read a lot of your negative comments about Adam Lambert. Does it bother you that this tour is getting rave reviews all over the world? Are you crying because Brian and Roger are saying such wonderful things about Adam as a person and as a singer and performer? Do you know how your nasty words are interpreted by others outside of your Queenzone?

The hatred that is spewed is perceived as jealousy and bitterness that Queen has found a new lead singer who is talented, good looking, sexy, powerful, fashionable, inspiring, charismatic and memorable. You can't stand that his is doing an incredible job singing Queen songs and that fans and critics are loving him and the tour. Adam is trending on twitter after shows. Adams music is selling out. Brian and Roger are having a great time on the stage. They are making incredible comments about Adam and his talent. To you, Brian and Roger must have dementia! Really?

GET A LIFE! No one takes your comments seriously. When you say that Adam can't sing and he can't relate to an audience, etc., and people can see it differently with their own eyes, you come off as a little cuckoo. You are entitled to your opinion, but when you go to extremes, don't expect a lot of people to put any credence into what you are saying.

No one can replace any successful singer because every singer is different. What makes a singer successful is a multitude of factors. When a tour is selling out, the lead singer is getting thunderous applause, the critics are raving and the other musicians are having a great time performing with that singer, I would say that that lead singer is very successful in many of those factors. That is an impartial way of evaluating that singer. That is many opinions-the audiences, the demand from ticket buyers, the critics and the musicians on stage.

I think you feel threatened that Freddie will not be remembered because Adam is such a great successor. But, Brian, Roger and Adam are keeping Freddie's memory alive and they are keeping the songs alive. Who would be talking about Freddie at all if not for this collaboration? Who would be hearing or talking about Queen's music? Just a relatively few long time fans. Instead of promoting a tour that will put Freddie front and center for new fans and old, you are condemning just the fact that they are even doing this tour.

When you spew this hatred, you are actually accomplishing the opposite of what you intend to do.

^ he's far too stupid to realize that.

And it's actually the same person, Gerry, writing with at least 4 different aliases.

A true winner at life.

Anyone that has seen the shows would (if they are honest about it) admit Lambert does an excellent job, he captured the spirit of the band perfectly, far better than Rodgers did. He was respectful to the fans regarding not replacing but honoring Freddie and frankly gave a performance that Freddie would have enjoyed and supported. I wasn't a fan of his voice until I saw him live, suddenly he makes sense to me with the band, he is a worthy front man and seems to be growing by the day. So I can understand Brian's comments 100% no disrespect intended.

I think some people are being a bit touchy!!!

Bwaha - ha ha ha ha........

Someone please send TOKYO 05/01/1975 record for Brian give it a listen. It´s pretty clear that the doctor forgot how a young Freddie already commanded a complete foreign audience like a pro at those early days.
Just compare Freddie´s rendition of Liar that day with anything Adam have done with the band.
This shouldn´t even be on debate.

AL sings the songs in their original key,ie close to the original version which is a good thing but every time AL sings the same song its going to sound exactly the same each time!! Freddie sang in a lower key live and sang songs as an artist would normally sing live which was slightly different to the original which made it better and thats how songs live should be sung, a bit adlib sometimes(if thats the right word) which made every concert different. Pick one song from say the freddie era, one from say Wembley and one from say Newcastle and that version will sound different because Freddie had the ability to do that.
