ok.look at it from this point of view......your main or head employe has left the company......now.what do you do.....shut the company or replace him.....well of course you replace him...youy aint gona close the company just because some one has left..whats the point of that.the company is still striving and making money,things are going well and sometimes you need a new director....now there are some clients who dont like the new employe and dont place orders..but...there are many new orders coming in...so the new orders replace the old ones who have left..now the new orders have just discovered the company who the old employe worked for has a very nice and large back catalouge(lets call it stock)and are interested in sampeling some of it.and as a result place a big order for backdated stock......an extra 50000 hits?.so the company is back to making money.and the name of the company continues to roll on.going from streanth to streanth........now this is the sticky point.........some outdated shareholders in the company dont like the new employee,and try to stage a buyout.and fail big time.......as the share stock rises with the new employee......you still with me??.....the directors of the company now have on there hands a new and younger generation wanting to know more aBOUT the company and start to buy the back stock/catalouge.......so the company will go on for a good long time selling there back catalouge/sales/stock.......for many years to come......

Thumbs down for the screaming goat. I think the tour is over right?? if that's so, it is good news. I hope Brian and Roger put their heads down to what really matters to keep the legacy alive. Release live gem concerts. They have plenty material to work on!

vocal harmony: your the fuck wit since you are defending a nobody against a rock legend.
Freddie has won many many male vocalist awards or are you blind or just plain ignorant?
Lambert has got no worthy awards under his belt as much as Freddie has.
He can not even write music or play piano, so how can he pay tribute to Mr Mercury?
Even tribute acts are much better than Adam Lambert, and they can sing.
If you are going to call some one a fuck wit do your self a favour and look in the mirror first.
I do not have time for your silly comments.[/QUOTE]
You are a fuck wit, proved by the fact that you have written 108 words in answer to my post without actually directly answering what I'd posted. The fact you ignored one subject then turned the other away from what it was about would seem to prove that even in your Freddie is god fuelled world you realise that your comments were just simply rubbish.

I do not need to reply back to your past posts because i have told you once and i will say again, you have no argument here so don't try and be clever by turning things back on to me and my posts.
Adam Lambert is nothing and will remain a nothing,
as he has nothing to offer in terms of music let alone talent.
i would rather be stranded on an island for ever than listen to that banshee trying to sing.
You need to show more respect to Freddie than defending
Adam Lambert because Freddie is a musical genius and the greatest male rock vocalist ever to walk the planet.
He was awesome.

I'll ask you yet again Gez. Do you work - what is your job?
Can you tell me the name of the 'vocalist' awards that Fred won. C'mon, answer. You are Freddie's saviour so you MUST know the names of at least one of them?
I'd even pay for your ship-fare to get you to that island.

Yes Lambert does dishonours the musical genius that was once Freddie Mercury.[/QUOTE]
the band is called Queen, the singer Freddie Mercury - two separate entities - hence he also had a solo career you f**kwit.
there is no dishonouring of Freddie. Now if you were a fan of the "current" J. Geils band, then you'd certainly have a point - but you're not, so you don't.

I'm soooooooooo sick of that kinda argument.........
For one thing, he's not being asked, for purposes of this collaboration, to write any songs........his job is to be an interpreter of the material........and he HAS written songs, or at least co-written........
And then there's the implication that you have be able to play an instrument to be a talented musician........singers arent musicians?? I always thought they were, but what do I know....

They say Adam Lambert is keeping Queens music alive well so are a zillion other Queen tribute bands and they do it better!
Freddie Mercury won best male vocalist in "Classic Rock Magazine and also a poll on Radio 2.
Adam Lambert, well he got zero points, but never mind he may make the top 1000 some day eh?

So..........AGAIN - Do you work? If so, what is your profession???
Stop avoiding my ask. I know you used to be a journalist so what do you do now?

In fairness, Lambert is singing 24 to 40+ year old tunes. So the "moved on" argument is a little absurd.
Not enjoying - and letting it be known, or crititising a performer/artist doesn't make someone a "hater" As I've said before: It's perfectly fine to criticise a performance / voice. [b]No artist escapes criticism. Every form of art is up for judgement. [/b]

Just ME answering. The only dishonor is in Adam donning the ridiculous CROWN at the end of the show.
Although I "get it" (this will implant the story among kids who don't know and they MAY go back and watch a show with Freddie and think "oh, THAT'S what it's about!")
but for a group of friends like that, I found that bit pretty disrespectful. Leave the man one saving dignity. Signify that he's gone if you must (solo glove and hat for mj, beefcakes bass guitar in GWAR) but DON'T take HIS schtick!
That's like a slap in the face. They can do whatever the hell they want.
Gotta say i agree with some nay sayers but it's still great that they're out there performing.
