snifflese said it right-Lamebird is ridiculous

Posts in chronological order
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.
The only negative thing about this Queen/Lambert mess is that they are charging an absolute fortune for tickets when Lambert is not a professional rock musician he is only a novice singer, he cannot write music, play any instrument and relies on May & Taylor to provide the whole shows music, all he does is sing in karaoke fashion. Queen deserve so much better than that, they at least deserve a singer who actually knows what he is doing on stage and not take the piss out of the songs like Lamebird does on "Bicycle Race" where he comes on stage riding a tricycle of "Killer Queen" where he is lied on a couch fanning himself in a very effeminate way looking transgendered confused ! Can you honestly believe Queen have gone from been the once respected British rock group to this tripe in 2018? May & Taylor dont give a flying fuchsia for what Queen means anymore, they have lost all of there respect for the band that use to be selective, classy and careful for what it did. Freddie would not agree to Lamberts stupid pranks on stage as he didnt like been shown up, Freddie was a proud man and very professional.
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.

Adam is hardly a guest after touring with Queen for 5 years! Brian May never announced he was the permanent lead singer for upsetting some fans, he was coy doing that.
Paul Rodgers shared his music with Queen on stage and you said that would hardly work with Adam, why not then?
Lambert had not been in those massive arenas and stadiums before Queen offered him the role of lead singer, so if he was professional then he would have made it on his own with his solo career surely?
Many people shied away from standing in Freddies shoes as they knew those were massive shoes to fill, so either Lambert was naive or just plain stupid to accept? To be honest i don't care what Queen do now because i have seen the band 5 times when they were a serious heavy rock n roll band, today they are a shadow of themselves and will soon be extinct. May & Taylor love playing live, i get that but to give a kid from a reality show a job, was very stupendous indeed. Sure you love Lambert but you would rather have him doing something more constructive than touring with a dead band who's singer was the star of there show, and without him the show will never go on in the usual regal fashion we Queen fans were accustomed too.

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!

First Adam still considers himself a guest, as recently as an interview in Australia he called himself exactly that. No idea if that's how Brian & Roger see him or if that's just where he's coming from. Despite what you think of him he really doesn't want to be swallowed up as part of the band so probably uses that term to keep the distinction between working with Queen and doing his solo stuff.
He played a mixture of smaller theaters and larger venue's, some festivals, including the putra stadium in malaysia - 14,500 capacity on his first solo tour.
In my opinion Adam's music is so far away from Queen's there's no way I could imagine an audience of mostly Queen fans, even if casual fans, being happy with half of his music being played. I like some of Adam's solo stuff but I was glad they didn't even do the one song of his at the show I went to, I was there for Queen music. Their different styles just don't work together for me. The only song I think might have worked is Lucy, because Brian played on it, seems odd that wasn't the one they used IMO, would have been the logical choice.
When they put the idea to him it was presented as a one off thing and that's how he thought of it. In that context it's no different than what they've done with other artists like Tom Chaplin, George Michael etc. I'm sure he never expected it to grow legs like it did but since people kept wanting them to do more he'd be daft not to do it. It didn't happen overnight he'd been around in the public eye for nearly five years before they did a proper world tour.
You really do have a very different view of him than the majority of people.

The Paul Rodgers shows never had as much of a Queen feeling as the current shows.
The band lineup with a second guitarist (Jamie Mosses) gave the music a slightly different dynamic and certainly made Brian play differently. As you know the setlist was roughly two thirds Queen and a third Paul Rodgers. The production although big was really an average arena show. Which easily scaled down on the 2005 tour to fit into Brixton Academy.
The last two Lambert tours have been huge production wise, this one especially, 22 trucks is far bigger than anything they've toured with. That is what the ticket price is paying for ( although you haven't bought one but feel the need to moan about it). It takes about 140 people (touring and local crew combined) to set the show up, slightly more for the nights load out. Again hugely expensive.
The promoter sets the ticket price, not the band, he pays the band but also takes a cut, quite a big cut. Do expect everyone to work for nothing?
You've made your opinion heard over and over again, but if you look at world wide ticket sales there are plenty who disagree with you.

VH: Sure i understand many like the shows, i am not stopping anyones fun, what people do with there money is there business, but what i do object to is the way the shows come across now, silly, stupid childish behaviour by Lambert and i cant believe May & Taylor allows Lambert to make jokes of the songs, like Bicycle Race, he comes on stage riding a tricycle or Killer Queen where the couch comes out and he lies there like a proper lady bod fanning himself, what must the heavy rock fans think of that? Black Sabbath, AC/DC fans must be pissing themselves with laughter at this freaky show. Queen and Adam Lambert are a joke and not be taken seriously anymore.

I really don't think the majority of fans see it that way at all. All the comments about the shows mention all the other stuff but rarely mention those things and the ones who do are saying they find it funny and love it. The vids make it seem a far larger part of the show than the reality, mainly because it seems to be Adam's fans that post the vids and they focus on him up close. In the scheme of the show those bits are a very small part and probably take up about ten minutes in total. The whole show isn't made up of silly things, far from it. As for Black Sabbath, AC/DC fans I wouldn't imagine they are at a Queen show. Incidentally the couch part hasn't been done on this tour.

There you are again always about Adams fans focusing up close on him, what about the guitarist and brilliant drummer who provide the music
for the concerts for without them Adam would not have a show?
AC/DC and Black Sabbath fans don't live in the dark ages, for i am sure they have laptops to see the circus that is Queen + Lambert on youtube etc...
Queen concerts in my day where not to be laughed at, plus people took there music seriously in the 70s and 80s, but now Lambert degrades Queen down to his level and that is only a bad thing. If Lambert went on British TV Talent shows today he would get a shock, when he appeared on Xfactor 2 years ago with contestant Sarra Aallto she actually sounded much better than Lambert did ! Lambert is really not that popular here in the uk because we just don't get it, and what the statement he is making is all about?

I guess all those immediately sold out Shows in Britain this summer will be populated with foreigners! Surely can't be Brits buying those tickets. What about the big weekend festival show in Glasgow (I think?) in July? I guess there is no hope of selling that out. You must really be daft to think Brits don't care for them and it is Adam singing which is part of the draw. I read pretty much only rave reviews when QAL did the Big Ben New Year's show a few years ago. Who do you think is leaving those reviews? British people seem to really like Adam and QAL otherwise they would not keep selling out.
PS- If you preferred Aallto, you need a hearing check!! Adam takes his singing very seriously. You don't know squat about him if you don't realize that! He is a perfectionist and everything is thought out and there are no glitsches usually. The QAL show is made up of musical chapters so to speak and the one you keep moaning about is a small part of the whole. It is well received during the show and is supposed to be campy and out there. Then the band moves on to the next section of the show. They are not a one note band like so many of the boring bands of today. Thank goodness for that! Music is also supposed to be fun not all serious and boring!

I was pointing out that Adam's fans tend to film him close up, hence the stuff he does looks more in your face than it really is. It's hardly my fault that's what they do. As to AC/DC & Sabbath fans watching vids - not really sure why they would if they aren't Queen fans.
Here's a clip if you can be bothered to watch - Adam talking about doing the killer queen thing, he explains it better than I can. It's less than a minute long, don't need to watch the whole thing. https://youtu.be/53xXh9jtW2U?t=7m40s
I personally didn't like the X Factor thing, their voices just didn't work together at all.
Don't really know what you mean by the statement he's making. If you mean the camp thing in the show, that is clearly done in fun and not meant to be any kind of statement.
