I guess the good thing about doing Vegas is they don't need to pretend that they care about doing deep cuts, they can just play the hits because it's Vegas and that's what Vegas shows are about. Well residencies are anyway.
I won't be going, not because I have no interest but just cause Vegas in September isn't going to work for me. I'm in Europe in August and the wallet will be empty.
The theatre looks fantastic and even in the cheap seats you'll be getting a fantastic view. No one is too far from the stage.
I'll be stunned if they don't release a blu ray from it.
It will be very carefully choreographed and will never have surprises, it's important to get the punters back out to the gaming machines on time. Vegas contracts usually have very severe financial penalties for overrunning.

Like you never have bitched about anything, right *sarcasm*.
The Queen legacy was living on before AL, and it will live on after AL...and that's not due to AL, hate to break it to you.
How quick you can say people are negative naysayers because they don't feel the way you do about your almighty Lambert.

I say negative naysayers because they believe Freddie and John were the band and Brian and Roger were two bystanders who deserve no respect. Adam has nothing to do with the decisions being made by those important founding members and the people who don’t support them should keep their mouths shut and find something or someone else to support!

Where has that been said? I didn't see anyone here or on QOL post that Freddie and John were the band. Were they important? Hell yes, all four members were important. The four members made Queen legendary. AL isn't a part of that legendary status with Brian and Roger or his own music, sorry not sorry, that's facts. Please don't come back with the cusual crap about AL is a legend, iconic that you feel he is.
Adam has nothing to do with any descions Brian and Roger make? Well ok. Not long ago, it was stated Adam had some input. And now it's said by you he has nothing to do with descions. Hmm, alrighty then. You said the bike was AL's idea. But hey, so be it if now you fee has nothing to do with any descions. If he hasn't bee on any descions, AL is more of a puppet than I thought!
No way in hell sweetcaroline/ CNB should people keep their mouths shut if they don't agree with you, about Q+AL.. Your jig is up girl,. You take ever that isn't praise for AL very personal for some reason/s. Who the hell are you to tell anyone to shut up and find something else to support, especially when no one has been all that negative lately. And so what if other POVs differ from yours? You aren't even wanting other views to be put out there, unless it matches yours, and/or a fellow Glambert...once again. Every single time you react this way and label people as negative and naysayers, and wose things.
Thing is, you have been negative yourself about many other artists and their music and their fans countless times. But you don't want anything said that you don't like and/or agree with. It is not up to you how people feel on Queen board/s no less. You don't get to dictate how and why others feel the way the do.
I don't know why you are so upset here tonight.

Since you previously admitted your knowledge of Queen is limited to listening to a Greatest Hits cd, you are in no position to talk about Queen's legacy, nor to tell people to "shut up".

She's not a Queen fan. I doubt she's a Brian and Roger fan. She's an AL fan only.
She is aways trying to get people to be fans of AL, but she will never achieve it by the way she goes about things.

Brian May is the founding member of this band. Roger Taylor the second member.
They can do whatever they want and call it Queen.
'musical integrity' is a non-existing term.
Grow up kid.

Whatever Brian and Roger have done in the past or do in the future since Freddie and John are no longer with them has been fine with me. I don’t take up tons of bandwidth bitching about what they should be doing. I accept what they are doing and support it. Some day none of them will be living and performing so I believe they should be appreciated and enjoyed NOW !!!!’

Nope. They were members of Smile. Fred took the wreckage of Smile, an unsuccessful band that was little more than a clone of any number of blues/hippy bands (one of 100s, maybe 1000s) and turned that into Queen. Fred provided the name, the logo, and the stage presence. He shifted the band away from its vaguely bluesy style towards glam rock. And he wrote most of the early hits (Brian wrote only one top 10 hit in the 1970s, and even that was a double A side with Fred's WATC). Not that any of that matters. Your point is irrelevant.

Thank you for stating the obvious, like any number of drones before you. They can of course do what they like and I can of course offer an opinion on it. As can you. And everyone else here. Is that obvious enough for you to understand?

Factually and intellectually, that's also incorrect.

It's usually a good idea only to be condescending when you have something to condescend about. I've been a Queen fan for nearly 3 decades. Is that good enough for you kid?

Really, whatever Brian and Roger have done, and will do it's fine with you? You are a lying hypocrite! You had much to say and nothing good to say when Lady GaGa joined Q+AL onstage for just ONE song. Same as when Nate sang a Queen song You bleated about that for pages. You are over on QOL today missing the point of what is being discussed. Donny and Marie "suggested" by you and wondering if Donny knew any Queen songs... LMAO.
Everything is fine you claim for you only if AL is the only one that is singing the Queen songs, with Brian and Roger, because AL is where your obsession lies. You want him to be in the front, getting the praise, attention, press. You take up bandwith posting copying and pasting glowing, tweets, articles, links, you even wanted to start a thread here about AL is so good looking. What are you, 12 years old, but I'd give a 12 year old more credit because I'm sure they would be more mature than you are.
Admit it, you have used QZ and QOL as your personal playground for years now ...all in the name of your almighty Lambert who can do no wrong in your eyes. You couldn't even admit that he screwed up the lyrics, because you couldn't tell. I doubt you knew the words to Bohemian Rhapsody, somno wonder you couldn't admit he messed up.
If it's not AL singing he songs, getting the attention, it's a no go for you. Shame on you and snifflese...you two are very selfish, it's obvious. What would it hurt if Brian and Roger performed with another artist? It wouldn't hurt anything, but you make it seem only AL has the rights to sing with Brian and Roger.
Don't even try to there even trying to guilt trip people that one day Brian and Roger will not be here...you do that every single time shows are announced. Is that your way hoping to sell tickets? I think most Queen fans are more than aware Brian and Roger will not be around forever. But I'm well assured of the Queen legacy, Queen were and remain legends before the +'s ;-). I don't think you realize that and AL isn't the be all and end all that you want and need him to be. Is it for him or yourself that you are so invested about AL?

You do realise that John probably has more jurisdiction over Queen as a touring entity than Brian, Roger and Adam combined, right? If he ever feels that he wants to pull the plug on the whole thing, he has the power to do so. He doesn't because the cheques keep coming.

Careful GuG. Some Glambets here will try spin that as to say John approves of Q+AL, or that John does nothing but rake money in.

And yet another avenue for proper discussion about what is actually quite a big deal disappears in a mountain of bitching.

Don't see how that makes sense, why would John have more rights than Brian & Roger regarding what they do, there were four equals in the band and in reality he was the last to join the band after Freddie so it makes even less sense.
