How very professional it was for him to swear *sarcasm*.
Or did your complaining about other artists ( to name Adele as one example) just go for them and not AL?
Just finding it funny sweetcaroline would post a link and a Twitter one at that which has AL dropping the F bomb after her complaining long and hard about other artists doing it.

I guess you approve of the F bomb coming out of Adele when she messes up rather than Adam when he’s being funny?
Iron Butterfly
F bombs don't bother me at all.
So it's ok for AL to do things because it's 'smooth' and he is being 'funny' yet you have blasted other artists for things AL does. I guess everything is brilliant and peachy keen when AL does it in your eyes, I assume. One set of rules for him, and other rules for other artists for you. That makes you a hypocrite. You blasted Adele for messing up and swearing, but look at you and your responses to AL doing it.

No, it isn't terrible. I was in Prague two days ago and I have to say it was in some way the best concert from those four ones I had been in Prague during last 12 years. Plus I can count to this even Brian's concert from 1998. This 2017 gig was the most entertaining from them, I could almost say the most "queenish".
To be precise, I'm long years Queen fan (listen to them for almost 40 years). In no way Freddie could be replaceable. But on the other side, what can the rest of Queen do? John don't want to play further, Brian and Roger do. And they could. They have any rights to do it. It's ok and who wants see it, goes there and otherwise.
To compare Rodgers and Lambert era is tough. With Rodgers it was more bluesy and maybe more straightforward and rockier. But also less theatrical and bombastic Queen fans were accustomed.
With Lambert they are more Queen like. The first concert from 2015 wasn't bad, but I didn't plan to go this year. For whatever reason but mostly for I saw them three times and Freedie couldn't be there anyway, so I didn't expect nothing new. But my children gave me and my wife two tickets (+ son went too) so it was decided for me. And you know - it'd be my very mistake not to be there.
It was evident they playd more gigs together and the whole concert went smoothly. But the visual side of it was overwhelming. I could say it's visually one of the best gigs I ever been on. In one word - fantastic and absolutely entertaining. I could say Freddie would be proud of this. And I have to add - sound was great too.
Well, Lambert is good singer with fantastic voice range. On the other side his voice is rather sharp and harsh. In some aspects he's more Freddie (costumes, flamboyantness...). Maybe sometimes he's over the top with his gay orientation exposure. But ok, it's his way of presentation himself and all in all I could live with it.
Queen boys are older, rather slower, sometimes not so precise they were before, but they are great anyway and it's pleasure to see them.
My wife was after this gig almost speechles. She's not such music fan I am and if she says it was fantastic experience, there must be something in it. :-)
So my biggest complaint is their setlist. This is "News Of The World Tour" - robot Frank is almost always up on the scene. They celebrate 40 years of NOTW (I don't want to comment that very bad 100 pounds worth "box of surprise"). I expected - really wholeheartedly expected - some NOTW songs (not WWRY or WATCH). Brian said somewhere there would be surprising changes in their setlist. And as usual - no surprise again. Yes, they put back in the setlist Get Down Make Love, but that's all. No Spread Your Wings or It's Late, no Melancholy blues, Sheer Heart Attack or - God forgive - All dead All Dead or even Fight From The Inside. Sweet nothing, only standard gratest hits. This is rather shame I should say.
But to end my rants positively - they were great anyway and I'm happy I was part of this show.
Now back to my lurking mode :-)
