The funn thing is when Queen were at the top of their Game with Freddie that often got bad reviews. Now it seems to be vice versa when they are crap now

Pretty simple explanation:
The reviewers slagged all the great bands back in the day. It wasn't just Queen - it was everyone.
Newspapers (especially in North America) usually sent jazz and classical writers to review rock bands, and they didn't have a clue, dismissing popular music as a whole for one silly reason or another. I have tracked down hundreds of Queen's reviews, and you can count the truly good ones on one hand. Same goes for Zeppelin, Floyd, you name em.
Nowadays music writers are far more musically literate and have less of an agenda.

MAybe they send the plastic pop- reviewers to QAL. I cannot imagine a real 70's Queen guy liking QAL, never ever

It desn't matter where the reviews are from at this point because pretty much 100% are over the top positive reviews. I haven't seen any poor ones. By the way they all mention ADAM"S AMAZING VOICE!!! Not something you see very often in a band's review. [/QUOTE]
Yes it matters. But thanks for proving your mind set that it's good as long as the reviews are glowing. That's fucked up after how they treated Freddie. But you are unaware or don't care about that, only if AL gets good reviews.
Of course if AL was ever hounded by the tabloids your views would be quite different. You can't even read posts on Queen boards without being driven nuts.

Look, all the reviews are nothing but GLOWING, whether it be tabloids or legit media sources. That is what has your little nose out of joint, Icy. I just don't get the connection between tabloid reviews for Freddie 30 + years ago and QAL. As you always say, Queen has nothing whatsoever to do with QAL. So, previous tabloid reviews have zero to do with QAL as it is now. Not something I think about or really care about. I will say that once someone is dead, their star is quite often much more shining than when they were alive. Micheal Jackson, for example? Past transgressions are often forgotten. Perhaps Freddie is idolized too much. At least for me he is, considering how everyone here treats Brian and Roger. They were a band and all four of them put in the work for Queen, not just Freddie. Sometimes I think you forget that. Those two wrote wonderful music and are consummate musicians and performers. It wasn't just all about Freddie for a lot of people. Brian is my favorite member of Queen, for example and has been since the 1970's. This is today and we are dealing with QAL and if you don't like it. there are plenty of like minded people out there. You don't all need to infest this site. Go post on the Queen threads, for example!

My nose isn't out of joint. Clearly, you don't give a damn of what Freddie went through with the tabloids, and AL getting praise is more important to you obviously. You are insensitive to say it doesn't matter the way you are. Yes, it matters. No matter what any tabloid could ever do these days will never make up for how Freddie was treated. I assure you it mattered then and it matters now. Would you want AL to be treated so terribly...I don't think so.
The things you come out with sometimes is garbage frankly.
Freddie is idolized too much you say? From you who can't even even be bothered to discuss him much of the time. Of course it's a whole other story about the almighty AL who is here to save Brian's and Roger's career though according to you and boost the Queen legacy.
Where have I ever forgotten all four members of Queen made Queen what is it was? I never have. For fucks sake try to actually read what I post instead of dreaming things up that you think I post. Seriously, I think you twist things and put things in my posts that I've not posted. I think you do that on purpose since you do it in almost every post of mine you reply to.
Hell, it's you who bleats on about being driven nuts when something is posted that you don't agree with. I have every right to be here, because I'm actually interested in the music. Queen then, and even most of Q+ in recent years.
Don't tell me what and where to post. You are so spiteful when you can't get your own way. Stamp your feet and throw one of your raging fits about being driven nuts because of posts on Queen message boards...good Lord. First and foremost, QOL and QZ are Queen boards, not Q+AL boards, it's this is a subforum in case you missed it. Why should I post elsewhere on your say so? I'm not taking orders from the likes of you.
I'd hate to think how you would act if AL was treated by any press the way Freddie was. I'm sure if that happened your nose would be out of joint...and you want to know something? I wouldn't be happy with that either. No one deserves to be hounded the way Freddie and so many others were hounded because of the tabloids.
Don't tell me about infestng this site when your goal is here to try to get me banned, and you want me banned, and to go into rages about me. You have made that clear already.

Why do I need to discuss Freddie when we are discussing QAL??? I guess that is what I just don't understand. Go discuss Queen if you want to constantly repeat the litany of Freddie and his blood, sweat and tears. Roger and Brian put in the same amount of work. John Deacon, I don't know as much about, but he was also a huge part. But for you people, Queen is pretty much Freddie and that is fine, but why do you keep pulling Freddie into the current mix? I don't see him up on that stage. Of course, he is an icon and he wrote a lot of the music, but he is not a member of this band now and how he was treated has nothing to do with now. This idea of people getting their own way is truly nuts. I am not interested in my own way. I am just discussing. You always want to win, Icy. If that is the case, go to a site where just Queen is talked about or where they hate QAL. They will be all on board with you. If people disagree with you or point out that Freddie isn't the end and all and the be all of Queen, you pull out this" getting your way crap". I don't even know what you are talking about! If you are interested in the music, I don't hear much of that in your posts. You people just drone on about the evils of QAL and how Freddie is the only Rock God ever. Great! But not everyone, feels that way. By the way, I don't think I ever said that Brian and Roger are saved by Adam. It is just nice that they can continue their music with a great singer. End of story!!

Do you even realise AL would not be where he is without Freddie and Queen? Do you want and need praise upon praise for AL all the time or something?
Go fuck yourself I say. Don't lump me in with "you people". I have my own mind and too bad for you, I can and I will post how I feel.
You don't know what I'm talking about? You are not aware or don't care what Freddie went through the tabloids. You seem to not to care about that at all, only that there is glowing reviews for Q+AL. Clearly, that's more important than a dying man being hounded so horribly. I hope the day never comes AL is hounded by the tabloids.
Where did I say Freddie was the only rock God ever? I haven't. Does it piss you off people mention his name or something? Does it bother you his memory and music is still living on? You seem very bitter about him when his name is brought up. Really, if you can't understand why Freddie is brought up...you are more clueless than I thought.
Your posts speak for themselves. I know you have posted -> that you think Adam is the reason Queen +, and why Queenis so popular, as if the music hasn't been legendary for years. AL isn't the reason for Queen's popularity, because the music is out there since Freddie passed away. It's still being played, shown, heard, watched, purchased. And discussed. Hey, let's see where your boy Lambert will be once Q+AL is over.
You are something else. Not everyone feels the same way you do about Q+AL and AL. That's what drives you nuts and you can't handle it. You live n a bubble.

Just another proof how delusional and pathetic glamberts are which is another reason for me for hating qal. Just Shows that its all about glowing reviews even from those sad papers they hated back then. Just a shame like the whole QAL debacle

why we need to discuss Freddie on a QAL thread?????
Maybe you should think on which person your annoying screecher is building the last straws of his career upon?? You the guy Lamebird is doing karaoke with every night he struts on stage like a parrott. The guy the tool will remember when he is back on cruise ships when the QAL debacle is over and when he will be telling the 20 overweight grandmas in the audience that he was once fronting a band called Queen. That's why we need to discuss Freddie. Got it now???? Thank goodness the guy's career will be over once he is not on Maylor's payroll anymore. It really gets annoying with his delusional Glamtart fans.

Funny thing, if any press gave AL a hard time I bet many Glamberts would be pissed off about that.

AL wouldn't be where he is without Queen. Literally. And if snifflese can't figure out why Freddie is discussed, and still loved, a big fuck off to her. And I'd say the same to anyone who is so clueless and uncaring about the history of Freddie/Queen.
I really think snifflese is bitter, jealous of the Freddie/ Queen legacy.

Its quiet funny reading the relentless anti Lambert (and Queen) onslaught from happystar, it kind of has parallels with how the press treated Freddie (and the band) in the 70's and early 80's
