The state of Queen today

Sebastian /That's got to be the final word on the matter.spot on

They have so much respect for Freddie and John that they call themselves "Queen + someone", Rodgers or Lambert or whomever are not replacing our beloved Freddie, they're just supporting the band. I thing the reason for so much hate is that people don't understand that.

Get over it and enjoy Queen, there are plenty of ways to do so.

No-one would mind if Spike and Adam would tour together, or would someone?

It's right what pittrek said we are all entitled to have our opinion good or bad i don't like them anymore not just because Adam is there I truly feel they have now put themselves into the same type of bands now as one direction , mc'busted etc an X factor type band and for that reason I couldn't take any of them serious anymore. I will be working at the Glasgow show and could watch for free and probably even meet them but this time round I'll be leaving the venue as soon as I can and not be going back in until they're off stage. That's my opinion about Queen now - never thought I'd see the day lol !!!

Thumbs up for Adam's pants!

Of course. Fair play.

But really, did anyone think it would be the same?

Is any band the same even as the years pass by, never mind whether or not there are membership changes?

Of course, everyone's entitled to think whatever they want to think. But the amount of hatred spewed at two members of Queen because they want to play concerts is just dumbfounding.

To be honest, from your previous post it seemed like people SHOULD be happy to see Queen+Adam Lambert if they have any interest in Queen. (That's why I picked out your message to reply to.)

The two members of Queen are free to play concerts, and we are free to critisise them as harshly as we wat for doing so. We don't owe them anything, and they don't owe us anything.


You also have to remember that the post on QZ aren't professional written reviews to strangers. It's more like a pub conversation among friends, and that's why the language can be direct and harsh.

...Or did you mean thumbs up IN Adam's pants?

Queen nowadays, are almost a parody of themselves - just like the Beach Boys - but they can of course do what they want, but I think they should at least have an older singer with them.

Why? What difference does that make? Just so it would 'look right' or something?

I think the singer should have a younger drummer and guitarist instead. Teehee.

This might very well be there very last tour. Enjoy them while you can.

there = their. I think.

hell, Jeff Beck's 70 and his bass player these days is 28....(and she's damn good, at that)

Age is irrelevant. Those who want to go, enjoy it. Those who don't want to go (e.g., me) will enjoy other things. There's no point in one side trying to convince the other side to join them or acting like they're entitled to say what others 'should' think about it.
