If they don't release any new albums then it is hard to release new songs. Guess they have to rely on the hits. Some of the songs Die hards want wouldn't go over very well with the general public which is a lot of the people who attend the show. They tried the two or three new songs at the beginning of the last tourin the States and Brian felt they flopped, so they do what the audience seems to prefer. That is the only way that you get repeat concert goers. They always add a few new ones and most people are very satisfied.
Proof that a QAL audience is only the Greatest Hits Joe Pulic guys and gals
What is wrong with that when you have all those hits? Bands would love to have all those hits to play and to make the regular fans happy. You certainly aren't going to be popular if you play the unknown songs that a mere handful are familiar with. You might as well go sit in your closet! Is it the singer or the list of songs they play that make you such a Debbie Downer? What exactly should they be playing ,although I guess Adam wouldn't sing it well anyway. Get a life, Dude!!
Lamebert should sing no Queensong at all you are right
Adam never intended being in a band, he wanted and still want's to be a solo artist, but let's be honest, when Queen ask you, you'd be mad to say no. That said he did say no or at least not yet initially, he wanted to put out his own album first and even up to 2014 he was still talking about it an occasional appearance thing, not a permanent position.
You just want to believe the worst but in reality Adam is nothing like you think at all.
When in the world would a band ask their fans who to sing for them? There are very few fans as extreme as you, so I don't think your input would count for much! Good thing they didn't ask you! You don't have to hang up your shoes when Freddie is dead. If there are two left to tango, who can still play at an impressive level and who WROTE a lot of the music, why should they stop being who they are? I don't understand why fans would want them to do that! They are musicians to their core and they want to perform. If you are able to do that with a pretty perfect replacement, why not? You are being awful selfish to think they ought to just go in a closet and die!

It's obvious you aren't a musician or singer because if you were you'd understand that it's a passion and not just a job you have to put up with until retirement. They love what they do and managed after 20 years or so to find a singer who could handle the catalogue, had the stage presence to put it over and the ability to get the crowd to love him just by being himself. That might not be how you see him but that's the reality. And which Queen fans have they lost? Most either embrace the new line up, decide it isn't for them and ignore it and carry on listening to original Queen stuff and just a few like you and runner hate it with a vengeance and won't let it go. Why's it such a big deal anyway? Freddie said he didn't care what happened to his music once he was gone so why are some of his fans so bothered?
He is neither a good vocalist nor is there any stage presence. He sounds like a goat and looks like an Asian Ladyboy. If thats your idea of a perfect replacement then I salute you
Well a lot of people seem to be loving it. And seriously, Asian Ladyboy? Come on, you might have had a point several years ago but not currently.
The vocalist bit is in your head, he's well respected as being an amazing singer, just not what you like - subjective.
Lack of stage presence - again subjective, people are commenting on it and it's what he's always been known for.
Goat - If you are going to talk vibrato, include Freddie in that discussion.
Freddie surely had no goat vibrato and did no pointless Mariah Carey vocal acrobatics like Lameturd
How can you be a judge of stage presence when you haven't seen a live show?
runner Freddie had a noticeable vibrato.
Freddie had a huge vibrato, just go listen to some of the youtubes. I checked out a lot of them back when Adam started singing with Queen and kept seeing the criticism about the vibrato. I DID hear it in the EMA performance, their first big one. Then it went away, as Adam can use it or not. Freddie, however, normally has quite a vibrato that isn't that pleasant to listen to! I don't get it when the Master himself is guilty of that and you call out Adam for it, but he has not used it overyly much since the EMA's. However, vibrato to some degree is a voice saving technique! Tired of hearing that garbage and the name calling. How old are you again? You sound like a grade schooler making up stupid names for people. Who in the world is going to take you seriously when you come across as a whiny CHILD???
happystar In your opinion, but from the response of the crowds at the shows that isn't the reality at all. They are loving his stage presence.
happystar, why don’t you call Freddie, Miss Mercury?
