Which dates are you going to?

Well since Brian calls him Madam Lambert I wouldn't worry too much about the Miss.

Thanks, I was wondering if that would have been brought up here. Freddie had the nick name Melina Mercury given to him by Elton John. Miss, Madam...no big deal at all really.

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![/QUOTE]

INXS tried it with JD Fortune who joined the band. It didn't quite work out. That's one example.
Why do you always say good thing that there is this that? I guess it's your way of wanting certain POVs shut down.
Personally, I think it will be a sad day when Brian and Roger retire. It's why I hope after Q+AL is over that they can get back to the Queen music left in vaults. If not, maybe more solo music.
Good thing that not everyone thinks AL replaced Freddie, and good thing not everyone thinks AL is a pretty perfect replacement. I'm one of those people who thinks Freddie s irreplaceable...but good to know you think Freddie is replaced and the guy you think replaced Freddie is pretty perfect. I never would have guessed you felt that way *sarcasm*.
Who said anything about them going into a closet and die?

I personally don't see him as a replacement and neither does he. It's just a progression, for musicians who still want to be out doing their thing and have found someone who it works with. The audiences are loving it but they aren't comparing, just accepting it as a different entity, or at least that's the impression I have from all the feedback on facebook/twitter.

Progression? Really? From one if not THE best frontman ever to a sad lil Karaoke kid who lost in an American Casting show? They are just a sad Greatest Hits act to gain $ for the pension fund

What word would you use for Adam's role, replacement, stand in, successor. I am not sure what word would not offend you. This is getting way too PC.

A guest.

Guests don't sing with a group for over 5 years and hundreds of concerts! Don't care if that is what Adam says. He is too careful of stepping on any toes. At this point I think it is ridiculous.

Thought you were "done"?
So what is AL singing the songs to you then? He does say he is a guest.Once again you don't care, go figure. Do you really think he is afraid of stepping on toes about it after all this time?
Yea, come back with the usual he is a member of the Queen family, he reinvigorated Brian and Roger, AL went on a trip with Roger...anything to make him seem bigger and more important. What is most important to you, is that AL is the one singing those Queen songs, you don't care at all about the Freddie/Queen legacy at all.

snifflese said it right-Lamebird is ridiculous

What's ridiculous is people being up in arms about a guy singing with a band who's singer has been dead for 27 years. It's not like they kicked him out and replaced him. Should anyone who loses someone just stop living, stagnate, sit in a rocker and never do anything again? If a partner dies is that it, you just curl up and wait to die yourself, or you're somehow pissing on their grave?

They should have done sth creative instead if lame neverending greatest Hits tours with a casting muppet

They don't need to, that's the point. Making albums is for something to tour off, they can tour regardless. The Queen catalogue is so massive and popular they could probably tour for years without ever writing a new song. I think they paid their dues writing some of the best music ever created for years, why shouldn't they relax a bit and just enjoy it if the fans still want to see them. It's harming no one and making thousands happy, can't see a single negative about that.

First he's no novice, he's been performing and singing for years in various ways. He had already done a six month solo tour, no breaks, before he joined up with Brian & Roger and he knows exactly what he's doing on stage - why do you think they are getting such good reviews from media and fans alike.

All the parts you mention are the reason people love him, he's fun, campy, silly and makes people laugh and feel good. What you see as taking the piss is not even close to what he's really doing and people who actually go to see them get it, they get him. Solo or with Queen his love of being accessible to the audience and making them feel part of the show, bringing the band into it instead of just making it about himself is what works. Just because his persona is very different from Freddie's doesn't make it bad. It works because it's different, people don't want a copy.

As to May & Taylor providing all the music, he's a guest singer, what else would he be singing. It would hardly work including half of Adam's songs would it, you really would be complaining then.

As to writing music, see my previous comment.

Read the reviews, Dude, and all the tweets, instagrams, facbook and youtube comments. REAL Queen fans who have also seen them back in the day, LOVE THE SHOW!! You and your two or three cohorts here are in the very small minority of people who don't care for this. Great, we get it, but you sure are ugly about it. Go back and watch old Queen videos from back in the day. I will watch the current show as it is spectacular. It is more than just the singer, you know. It is the lights, the sound, the spectacle of it and there was nothing like it originally. The tech wasn't there, so if you prefer the original version of Queen, go watch it and quit complaining. No one is making you endure the current collaboration. Join your other buddies and watch the REGAL queen online!
