It’s up to Brian and Roger what they want to play in their live shows! They know what they can handle at ages 70 and 68! Brian recently posted a photo of the wear and tear on his swollen fingers! Every song has its own requirements. Long time Queen fans should know that and should appreciate whatever they decide they are able to do.

Remember your outrage when Lady GaGa and Nate from Fun joined Brian and Roger during a song. You sure didn't like that one bit, mainly because you felt it was taking away from AL. You can be awfully hypocritical at times.
You really should lay off the guilt trips and saying people should be happy Brian and Roger are touring, true fans should be happy etc. At the end of the day, it's not even about them for you, it's all about AL.

Isn't this the point that Caroline comes back with they don't need to change the set list because everyone is happy with what they're playing and AL is magnificent etc etc

LOL.
I think you took the words out of her copy and paste work ;).
It's a shame though if they don't perform DOOL in London though. Bummer it doesn't seem to be happening. [/QUOTE]
Yeah lol.
Would have been nice to hear DOOL, I guess there's two more to go, hopefully Birmingham might throw a last night surprise into the mix.[/QUOTE]
It would have been amazing. I get that it is a pretty emotional song to sing, but dang it would have been great if they played DOOL more than twice during the tour. And in London it would have been perfect as a tribute to Freddie and John...the glory days of Queen.

JUst 2 more concerts, and then the end of SweetCaroline[/QUOTE]
Not quite. She will find something, anything to do with AL to post about. Over on QOL she posted about tracking details of a flight AL was traveling on, AL getting his hair dyed, someone meeting AL while hiking...
Oh well, she will back on QOL ASAP after the 31st.

Icy, obviously this tour is about YOU and how upset you are that they are not playing the songs you like, especially TATDOOL (the correct name of the song). You are a horrible Queen fan and a sick stalker!

I wonder if John went to any of the London shows or is he at home playing monopoly or watching tv?

Really? After your crazed off the mark, non stop promotion of AL that's what you come out with?
Yes, I feel sad that DOOL wasn't played. Are you mocking my thoughts about it because your beloved AL doesn't sing that song? If you can't understand why I miss that song, then I'd say you are not a true, real, fan of Queen's and it really is all about Lambert for you. Point proven once again. You don't understand the first thing about DOOL and I will add this now, nor do you care about what meaning it holds...for the band and the fans. You are crying foul about my views about DOOL of all things? Okaay then.
Too damn bad for you I am allowed to give my views here. You will never allow another view to be given unless it matches yours precisely. If you don't agree, you want the discussions shut right down, or some people not to give their views. You literally can't handle nothing but 100% praise. Do send the red alert to your fellow Glamberts so they can come here to defend you and AL again ;-). Boy, since August your true colors have been shown here. It's not pretty. Oh the things you let slip out here, you must've been tripping over your own two feet while doing it.
I'm a horrible Queen fan and I'm a stalker? That is rich coming from you. Laughable really. What did you do during this tour trade the word spectacular for magnificent? Post glowing tweets, links, world clock crap. You don't have much of an orginal thought in that head of yours, apparently.

Nah, I doubt he attended any shows. I know if he did the Glamberts would be shouting it from the roof tops saying he is there to give support to AL. That happened when Freddie's mother and sister attended a show.
I miss John so to speak. I'm sad there was even less of him shown in this tour. I really feel DOOL was and always will be the best way to pay tribute to him and Freddie. Nothing can top it for me.
With only two more shows to go, I no longer have hopes it will be played. When Roger sang it twice recently, that really was and will be the highlights of this tour for me. There's big gaping holes in this tour for many reasons, and I'm saying that as a Queen fan.

It's odd that he takes no interest at all in his old band mates or music. It seems probably they had a major fallout at some point.

Yea, that's what I fear. Something major could have happened between Brian, Roger and John. The fact they don't keep in touch...food for thought. I hope no fallout happened.
It's like promoting AL comes first for Brian and Roger.. That's what bothers me a tad. It comes across as a little false, because of all the hype they do.
It really bothers me when AL songs are performed instead of digging deeper in the Queen catalogue. GDML is a joke with AL crawling around, IMO. It looks terrible, sound is not much better, IMO.

Oh my, Icy! If Freddie did that you would love it!

If Freddie did what? Sing GDML and crawl around onstage. Yea it would be magnificent...you know since Freddie wrote and sang the song ;-). Not that I recall Freddie crawling around while sing it, and that's a good thing. Freddie was a heck of a lot more natural onstage than AL ever has been and likely will ever be. And no, I don't need or want you to post videos of AL to 'prove' me wrong.
GDML isn't one of my favorite Q songs to begin with and I don't know why that was picked to play live during this tour unless it's for Glamberts to swoon over.

No it wasn't. I saw the Newcastle show, pay attention.
I don't have a menu of guests, strangely enough. You know it's a semi-spontaneous thing that happens with other bands. God knows Bri and Rog love a jam on other bands' tours. Can't have anyone stealing the limelight from wanky guitar solos though can we?[/QUOTE]
Or stealing the limelight time from the almighty, magnificent AL ;-). You should have read the reactions when Nate and GaGa joined Brian and Roger onstage...I've never read such bitterness about other artists singing Queen songs, not even about the Freddie Tribute in '92.
