the 2015 European tour is 93% sold out! Not selling tickets in the arenas, my ass.............

Wow.....HUUUUGE NUMBERS!!

It's quite funny that the anti Lambert lobby have used slow ticket sales on the upcoming leg as proof of Lambert not being suitable for the job, so how do Gerry and co explain this?

Something else worthy of mention, the UK leg has sold more tickets than The Works tour, the 1980 UK dates and The Crazy tour.

Also as a world tour it's sold more than the Hot Space tour

Because the tour's been advertised on TV, plus - the internet, which of course, the masses didn't have in Freddie's day.

Generally, modern tours do better than ones back in the 70's and 80's.

But again, sales don't necessarily equate outstanding creative ability or talent. One Dimension, being so high up on the list, in 13th place, or 7th when adjusted for inflation, should signify that!

Wish we could talk about Queen Forever instead. Why does every thread end up being about Mr Wail?

This site is a pain in the ass

As much as I dislike Lambert's voice, some people are in denial: the tour has been a huge commercial success, the band are getting good critical reviews, and Lambert has done all that Brian & Rog have asked of him. Probably better to criticise B&R rather than Lambert, as he's been very professional.

Good point.

I haven't bought it yet, but I'll be a sucker, just for the two new(ish) tracks that I like: Let Me In Your Heart Again, and the reworking of Love Kills.

And there's more material. So let's be happy about that too!

I'd rather have Queen + FooFighters

or Q+ Dave Grohl or Taylor Hawkins.

Imagine DG singing the slow rock songs.

In the same interview Brian sais on the "gay thing" in regards with music :

"I find my mind wandering down those paths as well, because so many of the greatest musicians have been gay.
I wonder if there is a special kind of magic that appeals to girls as much or even more than boys.
There’s a kind of mystery there."

Does anyone get what actually the second sentence mean?
He is talking about sexuality and talent and then shifts to gender and music appreciation ?
I don't get it.

I think that a Queen + George Michael Tour could be perfect.
