Round the block one more time referees to the band having played European and then deciding to play one more lot before moving on to probably South America later in the year.
If these dates are final don't you think they would, A) possibly play more or bigger outdoor venues, B) announce the tour as being the final one last year to cash in ad you would see it on the maximum number of ticket sales world wide.
Wow I wish I'd thought of saying I was chatting to "someone on Facebook" who thought the live dates have been great.
As far as the Hollywood walk of fame, is Freddie even on it. It took from 1973 to this year for Queen to win something at the Grammy awards. They only ever won one Brits award. Hardly a measure of talent, ability or fame by your calculation is it?
Happystar To put your facebook comment into context one of the post's for the shows has 1,485 likes, 138 loves and only 33 angry faces. Yeah you can find a handful of die hard Queen fans who are outraged on there but you'll find a hell of a lot more who have been to the shows and are loving it and asking for more. Lots of them Queen fans who've seen the band back in the 70's and 80's and are still loving Adam, not just going for Brian & Roger. God only knows why you and a handful of so called fans are against Brian & Roger having fun and doing what they love with someone they clearly think the world of.

The bottom line is Brian and Roger have wanted to tour with Adam no matter what you think and THEY are satisfied that their audiences are accepting Adam and having a good time! They would have stopped a long time ago otherwise. It has been SIX YEARS so it’s past time for the naysayers who have never attended one of these magnificent shows to stop pretending that they know best. They don’t![/QUOTE]
How do you know they would have stopped a long time time ago.
Did you forget about Q+PR touring? Brian and Kerry Ellis? The solo albums?
I think you are only interested n promoting and defending AL. That's all it is for you. Every damn time things don't go your way you always bring up naysayers, negative people, and people who have never attended a show. It's not mandatory that people attend like you seem to think.
Read it again! If they didn’t think Adam was a good fit and not being accepted, they would have stopped touring with ADAM!
SHEESH !!!!!

I read it. Brian and Roger have hyped him up to the extreme. So do you.
Sheesh you eat everything they say about him up. No wonder why you rely on glowing things only said about AL and are so dimissive of other POVs that doesn't match yours.
Queen was snubbed time and time again? Huh, guess who else is snubbed time and time again? Yup, you guessed it — the guy with the one in a billion voice who is the perfect fit for Queen!

Vocal harmony: I honestly do wonder if you are a Queen hater as you never have a good word for Freddie at all and you are like the Glambert fans always
defending him when he has no credibility at all to be even standing on a stage with any legendary group let alone Queen.
Queen never won Brit awards in the 80s because they were snubbed time and time again but it was only after Freddie passed away that they thought
actually this group is brilliant and we overlooked them! Many of the purist Queen fans just blank what is going on now with the band as they know the best days of Queen are over,
Freddie was the best days of Queens life, and now yeah May & Taylor are horsing around because they know it will soon be over.
Sure they are still playing live but its not Queen.
Queen was 1971 to 1991. I have to applaud (Bullet with Butterfly wings) because that person seems to be on my wavelength and makes good points here to banish all the negative
comments vocal harmony & sweet caroline spew out and i do not think they are Queen fans at all. Never heard one positive word vocal harmony has had to say about our awesome Freddie? Dont forget If Freddie never muscled into Brian & Rogers ailing smile group there would be no Queen![/QUOTE]
I became a fan after Freddie passed away, but even I wouldn't say what Brian and Roger are doing and have done with the +s, is Queen. It's nowhere even close to what Freddie, Brian, Roger and John did through the years. Not even if Q+AL recorded a studio album, toured for years to come with Lambert would I think of it as Queen.
IT’S NOT QUEEN! IT’S QUEEN + ADAM !!!!!

I wish you would do some research before you make comments like those above.
I have never said Freddie was no good or couldn't sing. I have certainly never used the type of insulting language to describe him or any other band members that you use when referencing Adam Lambert.
What I have said about Freddie in answer to you blindly going on about his brilliance is that he wasn't perfect and had nights when he wasn't great. If you don't like the truth or those simple facts its your problem not mine.
I have disagreed with Caroline many times because of her similar view of Adam Lambert to your view of Freddie.
As for me not being a Queen fan, think again and get your facts straight. It just happens I'm a fan with a more open mind than you.

Holy shit. Calm down. Caps mad, again are you.
I know full well well that many Glamberts think of Q+AL as Queen. And it's not even close to being Queen.
I remember how pissed you were when Lady Gaga joined Q+AL for a song, because you didn't want anyone to take away from Lambert's time. You said on this very board that you think of these Q+AL's shows are AL's time to shine. The things you say and obviously believe are mind boggling at times. Even as of now, in your most recent posts, you are still trying to promote AL. Brian and Roger are a means to an end to you basically.
You are full of it sometimes.
happystar, here’s a recent pic of “unfit” Adam zip lining in Hawaii enroute to New Zealand for the next leg of the QAL tour:

Adam definitely is not as active as Freddie who was in constant motion but he does walk, strut, ride a tricycle and dance in 6 inch heels. Also he is 6 feet 2 or 3 so isn’t as mobile as the little guy was! ;-)
If you're judging Freddie's and Lambert's performance on movement, in the late 70's and 80's David Lee Roth wiped the floor with everyone including Freddie!
