Sorry to dampen your face cloth but Adam is not the reason why the tours have been successful.
Queen always sold out tour after tour even when Freddie was alive, tickets would get snapped up really fast, and Adam would not sell out if he was on his own or play the massive stadiums
he would only be capable of small arenas.

Sorry to switch your tap off, but the Lambert fronted band is selling more tickets per tour than they did with Paul Rodgers. This line up has also been more successful in the US than Queen were in 1982. They most certainly haven't always sold out
VH: i disagree Queen had the biggest ever audience for those Brazil concerts and Rio back in 1985, 250.000 adoring Queen fans!
Back then you had to be talented to pull in that sort of crowd, these days silly girls make numpties famous.
Queen have always been very popular, just ask Harvey Goldsmith, he was always adding extra dates on Queen tours because the demand was so massive.

Q+PR had very little promotion compared to now. I remember I let my fan club membership laspe after a move cross country in '05, and I didn't even know they were tourng until many shows in. Plus word of mouth online wasn't as out there as it is today, Facebook, streams etc.
Honestly, I do prefer Q+AL than Q+AL. No cheesy gimmcks with Q+PR, and that's just one of the reasons I like Q+PR more.
Queen + Paul Rodgers was pure rock n roll and not cheesy west end singing like Lambert does night after night.
May & Taylor were in good rock n roll company with Paul Rogers.

QPR was a great pairing as it was believable even if some songs did not work at all. QAL is just a sad joke
Says you, but loads of people disagree and are loving it.

I think Q+PR was more rock, more than about the music than Q+AL has ever been. I loved what PR gave to the Queen songs, it put it into a whole new light for me, and imloved Brian and Roger playing on Free/Bad Company songs. It worked for me :).

It worked for me, no gimmicks, no cheese, legendary musicians coming together, it worked for me. I will always look at that time fondly. I just wish it lasted longer.

The sexy beast comments are in response to the nasty and bigoted remarks that Adam is fat and too camp or feminine and you know that by now, Icy!
BTW, I didn’t start a new thread about American Idol because Adam was mentioned in some articles. Because you bitched about it, it got moved into the Adam Lambert thread. American Idol isn’t just about him. The new show isn’t about him at all. Since you are so negative about him, why don’t you mind your own business and stop sticking your nose in whatever I do and say?
Your blame game that you do stinks, darling.
Adam has sung ALL of the songs well on the set lists of the over 200 QAL shows they have performed together in over 6 years but my personal favorites are Stone Cold Crazy and I Was Born To Love You!

Would you call hm messing up the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody three nights in a row singing well?
Of course you would call that sniging it well. You couldn't even admit he messed up the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody for weeks.
Don't bother coming back to say Freddie messed up lyrics. I'm aware he did mess up at times.
Thing is, if any other artist messed up singing Queen lyrics, or any lyrics, you'd be crowing with glee about it.
I wonder what you think of LOML and DOOL. The only time I read you posting something about that is to mock me for liking it.
All is well for you in that pretend, fantasy world you live in.
