Which dates are you going to?

Why do Glamberts point out how many years since Freddie passed away? Do they think Queen fans here don't know about it?

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!

I've read plenty. Hasn't changed my mind. Only the music itself can do that. I don't know why you keep harping on about tweets, articles, etc, as if it's some kind of example you hold up that everyone likes the concerts.

That is exactly what it is, documentation, because people here imply that there are lots of people who aren't on board. That is fine if that is their opinion, but it isn't true of most concert goers nor real Queen fans if you read what is online. How else do you show that not everyone agrees with the negativity, that it isn't the majority of fans? In any kind of a debate there is always something that substantiates your POV. By the way nobody is trying to sway you, as that would be impossible (and perfectly fine!!).

Sure, there are lots of people who aren't on board? So what? Do you really expect everyone to love everything about the shows? That will never happen. Why is it so bloody important to/for you that people like the concerts?
Only the music can change my views...I may never like some things, but I liked something else a great deal, and even that's not good enough for you. It's either all or nothing for you , real life is rarely like that.

THose Glamtarts get wo worked up when someone criticizes the annoying goat. In their bubble world he is a rockstar (he is a sad plastic dance artist in real life) and a great singer (he sounds like a raped goat) and looks "magnificent" (like a 5 $ hooker ladyboy)

Oh I know some of them do get very worked up.
No comment on the raped goat comment. But I do wish Brian and Roger could do a sort of an unplugged type of concert, even a couple of times to see how it would be without the bells and whistles.

Unplugged would never work as Queen was always about being over the top. They just should get back on track an realise how ridiculous this collaboration was/is. I dont expect an apology but every sane person is just laughing about them teaming up with this guy. Joe Public in the concerts doesnt care but the serious music lover is cringing with embarrassment

Really - every sane person? That's an awful lot of people you're classifying as insane. Are you seriously saying no serious music fans go to the shows? And what about the other musicians from bands that turn up at them, are they all insane as well? And before you say it, no I wasn't talking about Boy George.

Nah, not always were Queen about being over the top. LOML, ITTWC, YTMB, GC, DOOL, just some of the songs I think could be good for an Unplugged type of show.
I think Brian especially is sticking to his guns about AL. But what Brian says sometimes, for examples AL is the best singer, shows are better than it was with Freddie etc, I guess anything to hype AL and the shows up. Things like that, plus the fact many Glamberts eat it up...not a good thing.
I'm sane...kinda LOL.

Seems to me what Brian says gets taken out of context a lot. He didn't say the shows are better than with Freddie, he said it's as good as anything we did in the old days, but in the context of the whole interview he was meaning from a playing and production point of view, meaning it's not just a watered down version of a Queen show and they still have all the bells & whistles.

I disagree with Brian that it's as good as anything done in the old days. Need I say Queen were groundbreaking? Q+AL isn't groundbreaking, not even close. Brian feels like he has to hype up these shows with Adam, and Adam too. It's happened plenty of times through the past few years.

Totally agree, Brian has bullshited everyone in believeing Adam is the best thing since sliced bread, and he sings like the gift from god which is utter crap. Brian never ever praised Freddie for his amazing vocal performances, and to be honest i feel Brian was jealous of Freddie to a certain extent.
Queen are no where near as brilliant as they were with Freddie, if anything now they are on low power since Freddie died and John respectfully left as he knew Queen would never work without Freddie, what a decent wise man he is.

QAL is like the Titanic before its sinking. Joe Public buys tickets because of the name "Queen" and because he/she wants to hear some Greatest Hits. Regardless who is singing. Joe Public doesnt care if it is a goat who is singing the songs.
Brian Money needs the $$ badly it seems. Maybe he had some bad investments so he is riding the dead horse Queen again. Sad but true

Ok then you two, how do you explain all the comments about Adam's voice from Joe Public. They might go for Queen's music but they don't need to wax lyrical about Adam as well.

John didn't leave for that reason and even if he had he'd be wrong since it clearly is working brilliantly. Can't say a tour where they are getting rave reviews and adding more and more shows isn't working. Regardless your own feelings on the matter that's just simple fact.

^^^ All true.

Also the Joe public comments don't hold true because there are old Queen fans in the audiences too.

In fact this whole thing is more of a success than some would like to admit. If a band, through the the years, doesn't gain more fans the audience will deminish, this is not the case since they started touring again in 2012
