News Of The World material in the new Q+AL set

I could only guess he's probably trying to recreate the drum sound like on record, assuming he used single heads when he recorded NOTW

I'm praying that the NOTW stuff stays in the setlist until Europe!

It f*%king better had ;)!!

I'm a bit gutted about this tour. After initially being VERY critical of AL I actually saw his work with Queen and ate my words.

I then went with my partner to see them at O2 last tour and they were superb. My 12 year old nephew got into Queen recently and I took him to see QEX when they came to Norwich. He loved it and it was his first gig. He loved it so much he met the band afterwards and they were great with him. He's always wanted to go to a big gig and we promised it he could come and see Queen+AL if they toured again.

Then they announced the prices. No way could we afford it :(

Have seen the vids though. They look great.

From what I've seen so far it's the most exciting Queen tour in decades... literally I haven't been this excited since 86, Adam is fitting in perfectly from my point of view, he carries the show in the spirit of Freddie and I think that is what is needed. The new tracks I really really hope they keep until the UK leg, and maybe add a couple more if possible, we've seen the other stuff many many times so come on lads keep them in there.
The Robot and new stage look awesome so I can't wait till Decemeber

No he didn't only a couple of toms at the side of the kit. It would be interesting to hear why the switch, they are generally designed for live work, but you'd usually mic them under the head rather than over, however mics and mixers have come a long way since those 70's days so you can get a great drum sound with any kit if you know what your doing.
I suspect he just wanted to shake things up a little and get a more direct and punchy sound

It's very interesting that this new tour has NOTW as theme. Maybe they're doing all this because there are plans for a 1977 live release?
Remember the 2014 setlist with Procession, Now I'm here, Stone cold crazy, In the lap of the gods... and then we got Rainbow boxset released.

Not getting hopes up, too many disappointing examples over the years......

We'll be getting Houston then.

The funny thing is that It's late and Spread your wings weren't performed at Houston ??
I really hope we're getting Houston as an official release though.
Getting another show from that tour (only audio) would make it so much cooler though.

or maybe we could get expanded Live Killers with It's Late, Fat Bottomed Girls, Somebody to love??

The NOTW theme is in preparation for the Christmas release of the "We Will Rock You....Yet Again", featuring 9 remixes by Justin Bieber with additional vocals by Milli Vanilli. They were Freddie's favourite artists, which is why the album will get its own dedicated Monopoly board game, to be released in Q1 - 2018.

Less weed and more work will probably help you clear the cobwebs in your head that keep producing ghost images of releases that will never be, but keep being announced here with much conviction every time some obscure Queen anniversary comes up.

I haven't been overly impressed by the Q+AL stuff so far. But It's Late sounds really good! By far the best "cover" I've heard AL play. Lambert has the range to hit those top notes (except for the E6 at the end of course, heh) and Brian and Roger has obviously had a good listen and rehearsed it properly, complete with Brian's tapping bits in the solo and Roger doing all the cymbal accents and fills - even the bass drum triplets at the end.

Just noticed the guitar behind the interviewer.

It looks like it might be the old drop D Fryer, but it appears to have been fitted with a humbucker in the bridge position! It could of course be the way the light has caught it, but the pickup does appear wider than a Trisonic.
