Which dates are you going to?

Paul Rodgers has a reputation for not being easy to work with

Nevertheless, a gig without his old lady isn't a Queen-gig. The Red Special IS important! :P

A gig without Freddie and John isn't a Queen gig ;-).
Of course the red special is important. Brian can play acoustic guitar very well too, IMO.

He doesn't forget, his words to describe them were "we can still be Queen in some form". Think that pretty much describes how he sees them, as a version of Queen.

Adam is not a member of Queen, he is a member of QAL. Adam's talent is his voice, which is as much an instrument as any of those you listed. A once in a lifetime singer is something that stands out and should be treated as such. If you ever read about his voice, he does things that only the top opera singers in the world can do. It is a win/win situation for all of the members of QAL to be touring, winning rave reviews all over the world, entertaining fans and having a blast doing it. Adam could not do it on his own, nor would Roger and Brian be this successful with anyone else. I firmly believe that. You can believe what you want, but it is the synergy of Adam and Brian and Roger that makes this as successful as it is.

That is a bit strong saying Brian & Roger would not be successful without Lambert, that is a joke.
I think you would find it is the other way round.
Lambert came from nothing, Brian gave him the break and Lambert grabbed his hand off because he knew he would not get anything this big ever in his entire life.
Queen did ok with Paul Rodgers, but we do not see Paul Rodgers fans on here trying to persuade us all that he is the best thing since sliced bread!
I am am puzzled why you are on a Queen site because Queen are far more important than a Z lister celeb like Lambert.[/QUOTE]

You know why many Glamberts come along? To try to convince people to become AL fans and spread 'news' about him and his music and life. To boost AL up as the best singer out there, to keep his name out there, basically to promote him.

I am not on the Queen only thread, this is the QAL thread and unless you have totally lost it, I think Adam is the singer for QAL. DO you not understand that??? Therefore, we can talk about Adam and I do think think the current Queen shows just wouldn't be growing like they are without Adam. He brings magic back to the vocals and Brian and Roger bring magic with their music and their musicianship. Together they make the magic that has morphed into such a huge, popular concert. They are moving up on the charts for successful tours and it wouldn't be happening if they were not together. It is a match made in heaven for most people. If you couldn't see Freddie, this is going to be the next best thing. Everyone in QAL brings out the best in each other and it is wonderful! Of course, Brian and Roger are the huge stars and I am sure Adam is most grateful, but I still don't see this the Q plus show being what it is without Adam as singer. He just fits their music like a glove, so they are also lucky to have found the right singer, as Brian and Roger have repeatedly said. I would assume you might believe it straight from the horse's mouth? Brian and Roger have said they would not be touring with anyone else as he Adam is the perfect fit. But I know most real Queen fans like the few on here, totally disregard the two active members of Queen and certainly don't every believe anything they have to say! Which I find quite ridiculous!

See what I mean by promoting him? Some can't post without hyping AL up. Q+AL the next best thing if a person could not see Freddie? Which article, Facebook post or tweet did you take that from?
Brian and Roger said they won't be touring without AL...so what? Am I supposed to fall over myself with that statement?
And I think I know by now you rarely talk about Queen with Freddie because you can't be bothered to even discuss it or even care about that history. Keep in mind AL wouldn't be where is without Queen.

I am not on the Queen thread so why do I need to discuss Freddie? I do not even want to go there, as I am sure someone would bite my head off as I am not a font of knowledge as far as old Queen or Freddie are concerned. I also don't get the promoting and the hyping. We are DISCUSSING and that is my opinion and that of many others. I am not promoting him, but this is the thread where we maybe could discuss some things, but you and some of the others just won't allow it as you always come up with the same crap. If you don't believe anything Roger or Brian says I honestly don't know how you have the gall to call yourself a Queen fan. Why don't you trot over to the regular Queen threads and have a blast discussing Freddie and John? I just don't know why you people keep coming on here with the same tired garbage. Yes, we know that you don't care for QAL. You don't like or respect Adam or Brian or Roger. You just want to keep anyone who does enjoy QAL from discussing the band. I get tired of your constant promotion of Freddie. Really, like anyone is ever going to do that! But you make it sound like he is about ready to topple off the pedestal and you are the one to keep him right up there. Talk about constant promoting! Freddie is an icon and no one is ever going to think any differently, so your contantly bringing him up is just not necessary.

Oh, you had something to say about Freddie when someone dared mention his name in the tabloid thread, didn't you. No worries, I knew you didn't care long before that. Pretty much you are using Queen boards to hype up Lambert. Same thing sweetcaroline/CNB has done for years now.
Who has said I don't like AL, Brian and Roger and don't respect them? I've never said anything like that. Do I like and agree with everything they do? No, I'm not a stepford. I'm ok with that, clearly you are not.
This is a Queen board, this is a sub forum. Seriously, if people mentioning Freddie's name on Queen boards, gets to you this much, I dare say you are in the wrong place and you are very bitter and envious of him. Why are you so rattled and bothered when he is discussed? Erm, hello, Freddie will be discussed on a Queen board, tough if you can't handle that. Not necessary to mention Freddie ... according to a Glambert? You would think that, wouldn't you. No surprise there. You are coming across as very entitled and just crazy.
I have no worries about Freddie's legacy living on. I'm sure it will live on for years from now. More than I can say for AL's career.

I came to the forums when QAL started to play. I have always loved Queen and bought their records since the 1970's. But I am not a die hard fan that knows everything that they ever did. I never came to the Queen forums until the QAL threads were part of them So don't get in my face about Queen boards as I never posted there and still do not venture onto the Queen threads. I am not knowledgable enough. But, I can and will post in this section and there is nothing wrong with that. Many people became fans of Adam and/or Queen after QAL was formed. That is how one gains new fans, which is one of the great things about this partnership. Freddie is great and he will never be forgotten, but right now what is there to discuss here on this thread? Do you want to compare Adam and Freddie? I doubt that would be a good idea. So, what is there to talk about other than this new formulation of Queen. You have made some pretty scathing remarks about Brian and Roger and you often put up an agree icon when someone else says something. People can infer things from what you write and Freddie and John are the guys you really like, which is fine, but I think some of the crap thrown at Brian in particular is pretty egregious and you are always there agreeing. I don't believe you for a minute about the respect. I am not entitled nor crazy, since I don't worship at Adam's feet and you certainly do at Freddie's. You are have made grand statements about all the things he has meant to you and to your life. Some of it sounds more than a little weird, to be honest. I don't understand fans like that and your scathing remarks make it very clear what your opinions are. Just please leave me alone and answer someone else's comments. I find you more than a little scary!

Sure if you say you purchased their records since back in the 70s. Sure LOL. And I'm a full blown Glambert, LOL.
Exactly, you have never posted in the Queen forums very much at all. You can't be bothered to discuss Queen with Freddie. That's been clear about you and many other Glamberts that I've seen. I don't even think you care about the history before AL started to tour with Brian and Roger.
Does it bother you that I agree with other POVs other than yours or something? That's something else that bothers you obviously. Oh dear, the things that bother you on Queen boards. You really should stick to AL only sites.
Yes, Freddie's music means a lot to me. Your point is? I'm not ashamed, embarrassed, or regret of anything I said regarding it, I'm proud to be a fan of his. Keep sinking lower and lower why don't you.
Do you see me posting tweet after tweeet, articles after articles, and post pics after pics of Freddie? Again, you couldn't see it if you tried, because I've never done that. Freddie doesn't need me to promote him.
If you don't know that Queen were legends years before AL ever came on the scene, I don't know what to tell you. Of course you would think AL pretty much saved Brian's and Roger's career, and AL is the be all and end all. Queen's music has never died out, it's always been there as long as I can remember. It's still selling, being played, etc. I don't buy into Brian and Roger hyping AL up, and I sure as hell won't ever buy into what you say about him.
You know what is scary to me? When your buddy sweetcaroline/CNB links to pics of AL are of him away from the the spotlight, even going as far as to link to pics to his very young nephew, and his mother getting married, riding a bike in his free time, that's scary as fuck. Its bordering on mental. What does any of that have to do with anything to do with the music? Nothing at all, but she wants to keep threads at the top and the discussions between her and fellow Glamberts.
You are scary too, you loose your temper over next to nothing, your own words some posts 'drives you nuts'. Get a grip on yourself.
You and sweetcaroline/CNBboth throw your toys out of the pram when you can't get what you both want and need, which is praise for and to AL. Funny, coming from you who called another artist "that nasty person" because he sang a Queen song. If someone said AL was that nasty person singing Queen songs, you would have a feild day with it and Glamberts would be sending out red alerts to fellow Glamberts. You are also a hypocrite.
I don't understand you and sweetcaroline/cnb who has taken upon yourselves for the mission to get AL new fans and promote, and praise the heck out of him. Why the heck is that so important to you? Does he pay you or something? Is there an award for the conversion of new fans or something? You know what you both remind me of? A cult. A cult in which your hero, erm idol can do no wrong. That's how blind you both are to and about the guy.
How many times have you repeated yourself, snifflese about the glowing only Facebook posts, reviews and articles? As if that will change my mind. Only the music possibly can change my mind. Definitely not the likes of you will change my mind.
Actually, you have said a few times you will ignore my posts, you haven't managed it once before or since, funny thing that. Let's see how long it will last this time.
And my dear, you are the one here who goes into a rage when you can't get your own way, and then you you try turn the tables on others. Your tactics, your ignorance is what is very unsettling, and fkd up, for example, you came here shouting the odds that you wanted me banned from both Queen boards just because your buddy was banned elsewhere.
The fact you get upset and bitter when people discuss Freddie on a Queen board, your way or the highway is it? No thanks. This ain't your highway. AL will be a footnote for Brian and Roger, nothing more. Freddie was a legend. He will be a legend for a long time yet, thats a fact. Also a fact AL is nowhere near the legend of Freddie Mercury. And I guess that is what bothers you.

You are quite the Queen fan, aren't you, Happy Star? I think I would go and hide in shame after what you just said. I guess Roger and Brian don't count for crap if that is your opinion. Well, Freddie wasn't all of Queen by himself. He also would not have been that great had he not teamed up with the other 3. It was all 4 that made Queen what it was. I remember him wanting to go off by himself and I don't believe his solo album was all that wonderful or successful. If you think Roger or Brian need money, you are just clueless, but every post here pretty much shows that. Shame on you for crapping on Brian and Roger.

Not sure, Icy, how you can question me about buying Queen's music since the 1970's. How you can even say that, I don't know. I also don't post online. Never have until QAL. There would be no reason for me to go to the Queen forums. You people are rabid and I don't know enough nor would I want to. I love Iron Maiden, Ozzy and Sabbath and have seen them a number of times over the years. I am a huge metal fan and I have never posted on any of their sites and I also have bought their records during the years (but I am sure you will think I am just lying!) I have posted something maybe 3 times or so on Adamtopia when I needed a question answered about a tour and tickets. That is pretty much it for posting online other than the QAL threads here and on QOL. I have loved Adam's voice since Idol and this is the first time anyone has attracted me enough to want to post and I am always for the underdogs, so alot of the stuff I have seen posted about QAL since 2012 has been somewhat upsetting and I wanted to add my 2 cents. I am always surprised at the nastiness on-line and I guess I should not have posted here either.

As far as CNB, I don't know her at all, just always felt sorry how everyone always crapped on her too. Maybe she is a little over enthusiastic, but she is kind, at least. Not anything I would ever say about you, unfortunately. As far as pics posted ,etc, they are all over Adamtopia, Twitter and what have you. If Adam or his family doesn't like this, they would keep them private. I don't see that as the problem you do. Adam is way too open sometimes about his private life, but if he shares it, you can't blame CNB. You keep forgetting that all these things are QAL threads, she is not bringing them over to the specifically Queen related threads. If you are not interested, scroll is your friend.

Same way you don't think I'm a Lambert fan. Remember the crap you gave and continue to give me because you don't think I'm an AL fan? You don't like it when someone doubts you purchased Queen music or that you are a Queen fan? Yeah, I do do doubt it after all you have said...and have not said. Remember how you complained on QOL about AL not getting enough credit that you feel he deserves by the Queen fans over there. That proved to me you aren't a Queen fan, and it's all about Adam for you. You practically bitched and bawled on a Queen board because AL didn't get what you thought he deserved. The bullshit you post sometimes.
Basically, I've seen a few Glamberts who come to Queen boards to promote and praise AL to the rafters, plus to try to start crap with people who don't agree AL is the be all and end all for Brian and Roger...and even in the music world, and you are that type to a T. So much praise and promotion, it's comes across as fake and phony, and nothing but spam.
Thing is, I love Ozzy and Black Sabbath too. I'd love to ask you more about the concerts you attended, but I will hold back because maybe you don't want to discuss it with me.
I absolutely get that you like AL. I have no problems with you liking him. On Queen boards it seems when something is said about AL you don't like, it upsets you, or maybe it's the poster saying what you don't like upsets you and or drives you nuts. I have repeated myself, sure, but you have as well. And we aren't the only ones. You and I see things very differently, and that's really not a problem.
What is really mind boggling is your tactics at times. You threw my homophobia experiences that I posted about elsewhere back in my face, and said I posted about it to attention seek. No, that's not why I posted about it. You weren't even a part of that discussion at that time on QOL I remember. But your mind was made up about it.
You came here right off the bat calling me out and making a scene that I should have been banned from both Queen boards, simply because your friend was banned from QOL. The odd thing is, I don't even know what caused that to happen. Sweetcaroline/CNB has given many reasons why she felt she was banned, it's hard to know what is true. But I know this much, it wasn't my fault.
You seem to think now that I promote Freddie. Come on now, if you can't understand why his name and music can and will be discussed here, that's crazy to me. First this whole board is mostly about Queen, not AL. Your comments in the tabloid thread proved to me at least you didn't care what Freddie went through, because Q+AL gets good reviews from the same tabloids these days. That's insensitive and heartless. Your latest is to clap back at me is to say I'm promoting Freddie. Yeah, come back when I post random tweets, articles, pictures, sometimes one right after the other about Freddie.
Of course, you would see not much wrong with sweetcaroline/CNB does, she's a Glambert and can do no wrong in your eyes apparently.
Not buying it that if AL's family wanted things private, they would keep it that way. Common sense regarding his family members. The fact that those pics are shared elsewhere doesn't make it any better. It's actually sad Glamberts would even share certain kind of pics in the first place. Again, you can come back to me when I do things like that. That is not, and never has been my type of thing to share such things, you can try and excuse it because others share it, it can be shared on Queen boards.. Not buying that. I don't know how the discussions is supposed to go about AL in his free time. That doesn't interest me, but it does shock me that it's shared. It's terribly invasive, IMO... bordering on the creepy factor. Especially when young kids and his family are included....yep that's all out creepy as fuck. Those people didn't ask for fame and pics to be shared all over the internet. Even I would say AL deserves his privacy...the man can't even ride a bike in a park without pics being taken and shared? That's fucked up. And here you are trying to defend it.
I assure you I am a nice person, you don't know me outside of Q+AL sub forums. You say sometimes that you have read what I posted for years, compared to that, you have very little interaction with me. That is what stands out to me in your posts that you have an ax to grind about me. One day you say you will ignore me, another day you will reply to my posts, pick one or the other and stick with it.
