Yeah and YOU didn't either, but YOU'RE going on and on like they are YOUR songs and he is jumping up and down on your Barbie Doll collection

He was asked to tour with two of the people who wrote and recorded the songs, with the knowledge and agreement of one of the other one and the agreement and knowledge of the people who Freddie put in control of his artistic memory. If you don't like it write to Jim Beach, don't forget to include all the insults you've used on here.

If you feel so strongly about this, deal with it on a professional level, talk to Queen productions and Queen touring limited, email Brian May.

Of course that does mean you won't have an audience, but your audience is fed up with your narrow minded views anyway.

"Arrogant ass hole". . . That is not an acurate description of Adam Lambert.

Maybe a new thread could be started, Whiners about Q+AL or similar, and the other threads could be left for their intended purpose. Anyone up for that?

Hey Folks,
Why can't we just be nice to eatch other.
Some of you don't like Adam and this collaboration (it's OK, it's your right). I like them a lot.
But, why all the hate? Different opinion is just different opinion, there is no need to hate.

I agree with this SMGO is my least favourite one he's done. WWTLF is probably the best one he's done, absolutely love it.

You do talk some rubbish at times, listen to this, he specifically says "I didn't write any of the songs, I didn't record any" - where is that being arrogant or an asshole.

Adam is the least arrogant, entitled person out there, he never fails to give Freddie and the band credit, he wanted the footage of Freddie in the show he thought it important for the audience, he calls himself a guest still even though it's been six years since they started working together and if you ever saw them onstage, even though he's essentially the frontman he includes Brian & Roger a lot and acknowledges Spike & Neil in parts, he likes to share the stage, not just keep the focus on him, even in his own shows he was like that with his backing band. You can like him being with them or not, your choice, but you're completely wrong about the way he treats this collaboration.




You say that AL wanted video footage of Freddie, I don't think I've heard about that before. Considering that there is less of Freddie being seen and heard in recent times, was that also AL's idea? Infeel very strongly Freddie should be seen and heard more during the shows, too bad there has been so little of it as time went on.

IMO , a collaboration in this case would be if Q+AL worked together in the studio. So far they havent done that. AL is on stage singing the songs...yes as a guest although I feel even the Freddie speech will be dropped this tour.

Not arrogant eh but he just wont leave Queen will he because he knows he is making money out of a dead mans brilliance and genius. He has no decision in wanting Freddies pictures on stage that is up to Brian & Roger not Adams choice. To me Lambert is still guilt ridden telling the audiences he respects Freddie and he aint trying to be like him etc...... but really he is, just look at the crown he wears, which was invented by Freddie........



You clearly don't get him because you don't want to accept him, there's no arrogance involved in him staying with Queen, why would he leave when the fans are constantly asking them to do more shows. To him it's symbiotic, all parties are benefitting and all parties are having a blast - his words. He's also said that Brian & Roger still want to be out there touring, they've said so numerous times as well, and obviously he enables them to do that. They're like family now, they love playing together, they get on offstage as well as on and anyone who knows anything about him would know he likes to work and hang out with same bunch of people as much as possible. He likes working with the same photographers for photo shoots etc, he just likes the feeling of being comfortable with people he's got to know well. What possible reason amongst all that would he want to leave for?

As to the crown (coronet), it was Brian's idea, kind of calling him the Prince to Freddie's King, to denote Freddie was the original and he's the successor. He does it jokingly, as he does most things, it's just his way, it's not meant to be taken seriously and the audience get it.


The Coronet was Brian's idea? And he kind of did it to call AL the prince to Freddie's king, and Freddie was the original and AL is the successor? Where has Brian said that? I don't recall reading or hearing him state that.

It was at one of the early shows they did and it was discussed somehwere, I can't just remember where now.

Brian & Roger have in my opinion have lost the plot as regards to Queen and they don not care how ridiculous they now look.
Freddie once said if he made 60 he would stop performing on a stage because it would look ridiculous, but May is in his early 70s and Roger not far behind
they are like two grandfathers that refuse to quit and Lambert aint bothered cos its making him money. They are not Queen and never will be again.
The name Queen makes money and that is why they wont stop using it.
They are shit scared to even record with Lamebird because they know it will flop big time.

It was in a Q+AL interview where it was said Adam wanted Freddie included in the show, he felt it was important to show they were celebrating Freddie and Queen's music. He's still included, just in different ways, they added the Ayo's and dropped the end bit in Bo Rhap. Aside from a couple of people on here no one mentioned them changing Bo Rhap, but then a lot of people only see one show so they wouldn't know it was any different anyway. I don't know if they'll keep the speech or not, I've no reason to think they'll drop it since some version of it has been in the show since the beginning. For me if I want to watch Freddie I can do that at home so I don't personally think they need to put any more in the show, they do enough to show respect, especially the bit with Brian on Love of My Life.
