Are you taking your meds ? You are seriously comparing Adam Lambert to Freddie Mercury ? Go and join the AL Fan Club,but please don't make yourself look like a complete tosser on this site ,you will get eaten alive.Freddie is like a god to Queen fans who followed rock music in the 70s and saw him in concert with Brian,Roger and John. [/QUOTE]
Try taking your meds than re read your comments on your post that I was answering too.
Your the tosser who made the comparison, I pointed out that Q+AL had played to a bigger audience than Queen at knebworth! Your post invited the comparison.
A couple of other things, I've been a fan since 74, but I don't seem to have the stupid limited mind set where I think Freddie was some kind of perfect god like being and no one else can stand in his shadow, or sing in the band he was in.
If you think Lambert is so bad, and fat (get your eyes checked) why are you wasting your time and money going to a gig?
There is nothing fat about that gorgeous body!
I think that people who come to this forum just to write a post in which they write about Freddie as if someone is completely irrelevant in the Queen's history, as if he wasn't good singer and musician, are very rude.
I would never go to the forum of Adam Lambert just to write bad things about him.
People who love Adam tend to try to prove that Queen didn't even exist before Adam Lambert!?!?
It's true that he is only a kind of replacement, as Paul Rodgers before.
I don't have anything against Adam, but I don't like the way he sings Queen songs.
I love all those songs in Freddie's performance, no one will ever sing that songs better than Freddie.
Some people here talk about Adam in way as if he some kind of divine and they trying to minor Freddie's significance for the band.
It's really disgusting to me.
I don't have anything more to say about this.
I am going to the gig to see the show and have a good night out,also I want to see Brian and Roger.Yes I take my medication thanks for asking.I saw Queen plus AL at Hammersmith a couple of years ago and had a good time,its not easy for me to get to gigs these days as I am wheelchair user.Idont like your attitude ,but I guess you are what you are.

May I remind you of the above. If you want to call me out on my attitude take a look at yours first. You were the person who posted this. I replied to it, in similar vain. If you can't handle someone who is prepared to answer you back, don't post anything that might invite some kind of come back.
What is even worse is that you then use your own illness/disability as some kind of thinly disguised defence.
I'm sorry you can't attend shows easily and I hope you enjoy the gig in Birmingham, despite Brian and Rogers choice of a fat front man!
Their Hammersmith show was in 2012, the first year Adam performed with them in only 6 shows! Since then they have been around the world twice including South America. I think you will see a more comfortable Adam in Birmingham after more than 100 performances together! Adam is not there to replace Freddie like a clone but to bring his own unique talent to this collaboration. I hope you have a wonderful time!
I just hope that you never end up in a wheelchair.All the things that I used to enjoy have been taken away ,I still have my music to keep me happy and I enjoy my concerts ,where I go and lose myself for two hours ,my problems are forgotten.I am not after anybodys sympathy especially not yours.I am looking forward to going to see Deep Purple on Friday with support from Europe.Now lets just agree to disagree and leave things alone as I don't want to tell anymore about my problems.
So apparently there are more PUSSIES here than I thought (and there were plenty enough on You Tube!)
You think that the fact that Adam forgets lyrics sometimes supports your idea that he is not worthy to stand in Freddie's place and that he is bored and should be replaced. Nevermind that Freddie messed up lyrics, too. Lyrics he himself wrote. Or that all performers have occasional lapses. As long as QAL are selling out arenas around the world (and raking in big paychecks) I will protect my blood pressure by avoiding those who think Roger and Brian should be playing bingo in a retirement home somewhere, and Adam is a terrible singer/performer.
As for Adam messing up lyrics, what he does on stage is an incredible feat of multi-tasking.
- Singing as he does is technically very demanding. He has to finely control and tune tone, breath, pitch, and support.
- He has to sing while traversing the stage front to back, left to right, plus the catwalk.
- He has to walk, move and dance in those ridiculous heels.
- He has to monitor the sound he is being fed and the sound he is producing and adjust or call for adjustments constantly.
- He has to hit his pre-set marks for auditory and lighting cues.
- He has to interact with the band and include them. Not be narcissistically focused.
- He has to monitor the audience for reactions.
- He has to adapt and interact with the audience.
- He has to decide how he is going to interpret the song, and how he is going to vary it with riffs.
- He has to portray different characters and genres: fierce, rock god, silly, vaudeville, rock-a-billy, operatic
- He has to handle unexpected glitches with lighting, sound, mics, audience members, band members
- He has to do lightning fast costume changes.
- He has to maintain his vocal and physical fitness for a 2 hour marathon.
- Oh, and he has to remember 2 hours worth of lyrics.
When did Freddie have to do all of this?????? It is remarkable to watch Adam work and give a performance that is so close to perfection. As Brian says, it IS dangerous. It should be forgiven if he flubs any song's lyrics from time to time. But you haters have proven this notion that death has erased all of Freddie's flaws. Adam is Queen's man now so you should get over it.
You really don't know much about Freddie. Actually, the way you are going, I'd say you know fuck all about Freddie and that you don't want to know.
Sure, Freddie forgot and messed up lyrics at times. Freddie had more concerns with a live performance than let's say picking out the color for confetti.
AL isn't the be all and end all that you think he is. Keep slating Freddie to try to make AL seem better, because it makes you seem like a pussy yourself.
Icy has reading comprehension problems in case you didn’t notice. Freddie did live performances? I’m aware that all of QAL performances are also LIVE. What is she talking about?

Death hasn't erased any of Freddie's flaws, but it has certainly magnified the flaws of his successors on tour with Brian and Roger.
I think Freddie and Peter Straker wrote a song about you, pankakesnotstellar, for a Queen album that came out in 1991. If you can Google this much, you have the skills to find out whether or not FM achieved your personal qualifiers for on-stage exceptionalism. Also realize that your patronizing, pseudo-elitist writing is completely negated by the fact that you label your dissenters as "pussies".
I could be more cantankerous with my assessment of your contributions to this forum, but I'll try to play nice: You are fucking delusional.
*And a note to the diehard Queen fans who believe this venom is best put to task with physical force: Don't use violence to further your (our) cause. The real assault will likely be on Adam's record sales after this collaboration is over. If there is an active AdamZone.com in thirty years, his "legacy" will speak for itself. Until then, he is leagues below Freddie and co. I think he knows that - now who will break it to his annoying devotees?
Is it really that hard to figure out what I was talking about sweetcaroline?
Lambert? Tuppeny karaoke wailer.
Where these trolls comes up from?
We shouldn't really feed them as they are this bad..
