Would it was better this way for Queen?

I was thinking a bit about this, I don't know if there was any talk about it here in a some thread.

Brian and Roger sing(or was sing then) well.Perhaps they shouldn't have been looking for another singer, but that they were taken over by the two of them and continued to record new songs and new albums without being the priorities of the tour. Perhaps John would remain in the band at that time?

I just wonder. What do you think of that?

Unlikely that John would've continued. A gig like that would work really well in smaller venues - no attempt to recreated the glory days, just doing it for the love of the music. We'd probably get far more interesting setlists too. Look at the weird stuff that happened in the early 90s. However, I don't think that would suit their take on continuing the brand.

Old conversation. Fortunately/unfortunately the band is successful and ENTIRELY in the public eye...they wouldn't have done a tour like this in THIS DAY without massively inflated ticket prices.


But as to QUEEN after Freddie. ....it's not likely

One significant oddity is that JOHN and Roger were initially working to complete the final recordings featuring Freddie Mercury ....AND continuing the brand....THEN at some point it changed and they were no longer considering the thing on their own

It'd definitely be more appealing to the long term fan...but those days of this as a possibility are LOOOOOOOONG over.

Who'd "care" to show up?

Yes, I understand that the old conversation, but the "search" option isn't of great help to me.
And some bother when old topics are reactivated (if I can find something that interests me) so I don't know what's better for us who are not here for a long time, opening a topic or finding an old one.
Neither one nor the other seems to me.LOL

Always worth a new thread. Theories change, the landscape changes etc.

Apologies if this has been raised before (but I've never found anything on here that answers this question). What made the Made In Heaven project shift from being primarily the work of John and Roger to become the work of Brian and Roger?

CASH

I think I'd take MIH more seriously if it wasn't littered with samples and crap. I understand the motives, but it just makes it a mess.

Just goes to show that the whole really was greater than the sum of it's parts.

As far as the tours are concerned, it would've been better if they could've used more of Freddie on screen, singing along with them. That's the highlight of their Queen+ shows.

But then the live experience would only be a reproduction of the same vocal every night with no room for the band to move musically

Queen+ Lambert is a (poor) reproduction of a Queen show as it is (the highlight of the show is when Freddie pops up on screen), and it's not like they've really moved musically in the last 30 years anyway.

But this way, It might be seen as innovative, and It'd be a hell of a lot better than what they currently work with.

Day dop - sorry to disagree but I was lucky enough to see QUEEN many times from 77 to 86 and since then QPR & QAL and as far as I'm concerned Adam Lambert with QUEEN is a superb show not a reproduction. I have a grown up family and we are all going this year to see the Quuen + Adam Lambert show for different reasons. Me & the Wife its Queen but for my daughters its Adam I am so happy that this is happening and we can share it lets be honest Brian & Roger don't need to do it they are doing it because THEY WANT TO.

I find myself getting frustrated by people on here knocking Queen + Adam as a fan since 74 I am so excited that I can still see my favourite band play live. Am I the only person who has actually accepted that Freddie has passed away? I don't think so the UK leg of this years tour sold out within a few hours so the public has spoken............

Watch the abuse start!!!!!

I just think a small name change would've worked...
May, Taylor & Rodgers
May, Taylor & Lambert
Drop 'Queen' and everyone's happy?
