My thoughts on Queen +AL

Rufus can't play RT. He's a more capable drummer than his father these days, but he doesn't do the hi-hat pzzzt with the snare hits, and he sounds uncomfortably stiff. You can immediately tell it's not Roger drumming.

It is such a shame you missed seeing Queen live with Freddie Mercury, he was a diva and a true showman.
Lambert does not come near the brilliance Mercury had, and his singing is just plain and boring.
I agree Roger looks old and ready to drop, he should loose weight and get that ridiculous beard shaved off .
Queen are now like duracell batteries on there way ready to go flat with not much juice left in them!
Pity you have got to see them when they have now lost the old Queen magic.
No Freddie & John = No Magic!

Gerry, didn't your mommy give you enough attention when you were wittle?[/QUOTE]

Well at least as a Queen troll he is trolling on a Queen forum. Can you imagine him posting daily in an Adam fan community? And if not, what makes *you* choose to post here? I've been curious for a long time...[/QUOTE]


Are you asking ME why I post heer? On a forum called "Queen and ADAM LAMBERT?" Is this a rhetorical question?

This site is called the "QUEEN" zone and if your so in love with your reality star then use his fan sites!
Queen are legends have millions of fans worldwide and have there name on the hollywood walk of fame
now what does Miss lambert have to offer then, a deal with L'oreal?

As I said before, my guy is performing with your guy so by virtue of that fact I am entitled to post here. So there.

Too many little screaming girls on adams site then is there lol
never mind one day they will grow up.
screeming little guys got "One Direction" to be millionaires and they have no talent either!
Hype is the new talent these days apparently.

I've been ten years on this site, mainly lurking, the recent stuff with Adam has got me out of lurk mode and into posting again, because one thing Adam has done is get the boys out on the road again, and that is a fabulous thing.
Gerry I rarely agree with you, but you do say one thing above that I agree with.
"It is such a shame you missed seeing Queen live with Freddie Mercury, he was a diva and a true showman"

Yes he was, he was amazing and Queen were amazing and I treasure the memories of those shows I saw and I do feel sorry for Queen fans who came late to the table and didn't get the opportunity.

But this tour with Adam is the closest we've come since 92 to the classic concerts of old. At the show it feels like Queen, it feels organic and it feels like a band.
It's a fabulous experience, Adam Lambert is an excellent singer and a fine showman. No he's not as good a showman as Freddie, and he's certainly not the songwriter Freddie was, but he is bloody good at this and by not going you miss the chance to see Brian and Roger, possibly for the last time ever.

I feel like a broken record but ... on AL's fan sites the vast majority of fans are NOT screaming teens. They are intelligent, well-read, well-traveled *cough* mature women with excellent taste and skilled in recognizing great talent and great music, much like myself. And Gerry.

well if you like that sort of thing then good for you but i am too set in my ways to support a new Queen group
after seeing Freddie play king of rock on stage, there is nothing else worth watching in my opinion.
Adam Really wants to branch out and find his true niche in life and stop wasting his time singing the Queen back catalogue.
Queen are wasting there time as well, because all of this does not serve any purpose other than making money.
You never saw the Beatles get back together after Lennon was killed or Abba after they split, so why does Queen need
to ruin the there spectacular history with a new singer?
They do however seem pretty reluctant to go in the studios with Adam, especially after Paul Rodgers and Queen were a flop
with The Cosmos Rocks album.
My only thoughts are Queen and Lambert going live is just a hobby for Brian and Roger now, and since Freddie is not here
you can see who kept the band disciplined and in order, yep Freddie.
Brian has lost the plot and well Roger tags along because he has nothing more important to do!
If you like whats happening with Queen now then that is your choice, but seriously, it will never be for me.

Gerry, did you actually see Queen with Freddie Mercury, as pay for a ticket and go to a concert?

Talking of Roger's beard and moustache, I like it. Makes him look all dignified and "Wing Commander Taylor". That moustache is definitely capable of being twirled.

And yes, Roger is drumming great. It looks like hard work for him sure, but he's still delivering the goods. Rufus needs to watch and learn from the master.

No response to your question yet. Anyone who has not attended these shows LIVE, whether it was with Freddie, Paul and/or Adam, have zero credibility in posting their opinions. You tube videos (and even studio recordings) is NOT the same as LIVE.

The wall appears to have been removed from this site (long, long, long overdue IMO)

Saw Queen 2X in 1978 (New Orleans on Halloween Night, and in Oakland), 2X in 1980 (Essen and Frankfurt) and once in 1982 (Frankfurt). Saw the Brian May Band 1X in 1993, QPR 1X in San Diego on Apr 1, 2006 and QAL 1X in Houston on July 9, 2014.

All of the Queen shows were, as expected, amazing.

I was pumped for the QPR show because it was the first time I had a chance to see "Queen" (or 1/2 of it) since 1982 and they delivered a great show - great musicians playing great music.

While the QAL show in Houston was good I can honestly say that Adam Lambert leaves me underwhelmed. He just doesn't have it - Brian and Roger have found someone that can mimic the songs well enough to pull off some of their "campier" tunes but he is in no way a "rock 'n roll" artist.

You'll see when his new album comes out and crashes and burns.
