Brian gettin' old

I assume the original poster on this thread is very young....thinking early 20's? I'm 46 and feel the age already. So all respect for old men in their 70's still working and being productive. With all due respect I want the person who started this thread come back in 30, 40 years and tell us how he looks and feels at 60 or 70 years old. That's if he makes it that far. Those youngsters make me laugh.

Actually Mike I’m 37.but I’m certainly not imagine Brian is that young anymore.

In fact my point is that I feel sorry for Brian and Roger had to call it a day sooner than we may think.

But to me every form of criticism and realism about the band on this forum seems not okay.

I just sampled up a few points that caught my eye during this tour and want to discuss about what others think.No bad offense or something...

I've spent 35 years playing in a band, and anyone will tell you that no matter how many times you play something there's always the chance it will go wrong, that's life, strings break, you play the wrong notes, lets face it those of us old enough to drive who maybe like myself have been driving ever day of out lives for 40 + years will still make the odd mistake

It's pointless to be critical of a musicain when something like that happens, and if you do then I guess you must be perfect 100% of the time in all you do.....

Togg you're spot on.

The internet gives everyone the chance to become a critic with no editor outlining a frame work and no real thought about what is being said. I'm sure half the people typing some of this stuff would never say anything like it if they came face to face with either the people they are talking about or the people they are expecting to read it.

What really gets me is if YouTube and forums were available in the late 70's and early 80's these same people would have targeted every imperfection Freddie showed and he would be a major target for the unrelenting shit.

I do feel the Internet gives every idiot a voice.....I read this forum, youtube, facebook ect and think It's time too give it all up. Just adds noise to your life.

As far as This tour goes I can't really praise or critisize it since I don't have an Interest.

Hello,GNR has not changed the set list for 20 years.but not bad...

I'll admit that I was disappointed when I heard they dropped SYW and It's Late from the setlist. But from the moment Frank punched through that screen in Philly until he waved goodbye, I had such a great time singing and clapping along to all of the great songs they did play. They've got a great front man in Adam. Yes, he's no Freddie. But he admits as much in every show. But it's obvious he's a big fan of their songs and gives everything he can to give that music the respect it deserves and give the fans their money's worth.

It's also obvious that Brian and Roger still love going out on stage and playing those songs for their fans. Yes they may not be spring chickens anymore and may have to work harder to keep themselves in tour shape than they did in their 20's and 30's. But to me, that's not something to mock or scoff at. Instead we should give them some respect for wanting to keep themselves in good shape so that they can deliver the best shows possible to the fans going to see them.

I seriously doubt had Freddie kept his health and been with us today he would still be touring I really think people on here should show BM & RMT more respect than they do the shows have been spectacular and AL has fitted in very well.

At Wembley on 15th I was getting concerned that they weren't using the runway much. But then Brian explained he had a virus and I could see why he was less energetic.

In the end there was plenty of attention for us at the end of the runway.

Here and there I will check out some songs with adam on youtube....the kids singing ability is not in Question. He could sing. The problem is he's not a rock singer., so he sounds silly singing the heavier tracks... Again, I'm not a fan of Queen + Adam or Rodgers....but I do think he's a better fit for Queen than Rodgers was. He brings young fans into the mix. Something Rodgers couldn't do. So I'm not bashing Lambert. I Just wish Iconic bands like Queen Sabbath, The Who would call it a day when half the band Quit or die. Journey also got a singer who could hit all the notes, but is it really the same? Someone here said Queen are touring with an American Idol loser.....but the loser could sing, and he's singing with one of the best bands of all time. I wish I could be a loser like Adam. So all in all I'm personally not a fan of anything post 1995 with Made In Heaven, but realize Brian And Roger must do what they love and that's touring. It's not for the money at this point. My Question is would they consider recording an album with the American Idol loser? All Joking aside.........I think he Improved enough to consider it, and it can't be much worse than TCR.

He's a loser because he lost the final to Kris Allen, thus making Kris the winner and Adam the loser.

He lost a reality TV show and instead got arguably the most coveted gig in the biz for a rock singer.

I'd say he won.

'An American Idol loser' only implies what happened when he was a contestant. If I said 'a life loser' or 'a music loser', that'd certainly be incorrect. Same for, say, Messi: he's a 'World Cup and America Cup loser,' at least for the moment. That doesn't make him a bad footballer (he's by far the best there's been in a long time), just like Adam's not by any means a bad singer, but still, the term 'American Idol loser' is accurate for Adam and 'World Cup final loser' is accurate for Leo.

And his consolation prize... :-)
