QAL Europe/UK Tour — 2018

Nor only sc is sick most other glamtarts are as well. WLL sung by this thing is even worse than QAL. He has the most offputting vocalams ever. And looking like an idiot strutting on stage does not help either. I stand by ur: Lame Bert is the worst example whats wrong with music today and i am proud to hate him just because he destroys my once fave band and ridicules them. Sad fucking twat.

rockchick, I completely agree with something you wrote on the previous page. Unfortunately I'm not adept at responding to a particular post. I've never heard the WLL from Russia, but if that's the same place he sang an incredible version of Sleepwalker then I bet is was very good, he seemed to be in good form for that particular song. Will look for it now.

And Caroline, the fact that you "panicked" because someone else was successful singing Queen songs is all I really need to know. You have a disease, and need help.[/QUOTE]

Yeah that's the same one as Sleepwalker, it was the Maxidrom Festival and he was appearing after Korn I think so he was a bit more "rock" than he might usually be.

To reply with the original quote just hover to the right of the date and time on the post and there's tiny lines with reply then reply with quote as you move further along.

Brancelli, read my post again! I said I panicked because there were SIX people singing those Queen songs at the Queen Extravaganza show in early June, 2012 and Adam was scheduled to sing ALL of them on June 30, 2012 in Kiev. I had no idea if he could do it so was pleasantly surprised when he did. How is that considered a “disease?”

The disease is called "goat tick" - which means you are attracted to a fat goat who is screaming Queensongs and destroying them. The disease is curable though

runner, you have a disease called “troll tick” and it appears to be incurable!

SC logic: Everyone who hates AL (and there are masses) is a troll

No, just you, because you are everywhere on this board, facebook, and now you have infested the QOL message board. Do you not work or do anything worthwhle? Are you some old dude who spends every waking minute writing hate filled posts? I can't imagine having a job with this much time to troll QAL sites. What a sad little munchkin you are!

I am that intelligent to form a sentence in a few seconds - unlike you Glamtart losers raving about the muppet all day and nite, poting instagram links, reporting when he fartet etc etc. This is the sad part.

Both the new QE guy and Martel are miles apart from Adam, who is second only to Freddie![/QUOTE]

You've generally seemed alright sparring with Queen fans while appearing to be open-minded about Adam's role in this incarnation of the band, but now you've completely lost the plot.

If you think Lambert is closer to Mercury in voice than Marc Martel, then you need to give your ears a wash and attain some basic musical literacy. Lambert is a good front man, but tonally and stylistically he is nothing like Mercury, while Martel is a dead ringer 95% of the time. It's not even debatable.

If your love for Lambert has resulted in this much bias and dogmatic disregard for what is so obviously true and you have no desire in investigating why you're so embarrassingly wrong, then you should take your activities to an Adam Lambert forum and stop wasting your time here. This place is out of your league.

Thanks rockchick! I would have never found it. Good to see an edit button as well, as I'm often an idiot and post too quickly without reading over my comment first.

Ok, so I just watched the WLL from Russia. My thoughts are that the beginning is much better than gridlock (he might have been a little flat), but I think the ending (last 3 minutes or so) are better from gridlock, in terms of vocals. The band was seemed better for Russia, and they were both incredible vocal performances regardless of which one was better. I loved that Adam changed it up a bit. I think Adam plays it a little safe with Queen and doesn't want to stray too much from the studio vocals, maybe out of respect for the audience who has come to hear what they are familiar with. Just a simple opinion that could be wrong.

And with all due respect, Robert Plant (great as he is) doesn't have a live version of that song as impressive. Someone send me a link if they disagree. I still think Adam is more suited for Zeppelin than Queen.

Also, that Maxidrom festival might be the best I've seen Adam vocally. The last 2 or 3 minutes of Sleepwalker is insane. I honestly cannot see how anyone could listen to it and not come away impressed.

Caroline, perhaps I was a bit harsh and I apologize. But I just don't think your love of Adam is healthy?

WLL is even worse than those awful Queen versions. Anyone who thinks his yodeling is sny good needs to see a doctor. Really i mean it

just rewatched the gridlock performance. Very good, Powerful. His "rock voice" is more suited for Zeppelin or GNR. Not Queen.

This is one heck of a performance for Adam:

Don't hate me, or call me negative, but I don't like him covering WLL at all. I know it's held up as some sort of example that he can sing rock, but there are better harder rock songs he has done. TYMD at one show in particular was pretty damn good, I wish that version was still up on YouTube.
He has improved, I will give hm that, but songs like Stone Cold Crazy isn't his strongest point, IMO. Things like Save Me suit him better than I thought possible.
So that is that.[/QUOTE]

Hey Iron, I can respect that. We're all different, and people like are gonna have differing appeals. That's natural as human beings. What I do believe is that you are a music lover, and not a troll here. Glad to have different and sometimes similar opinions, and discuss respectfully. Some people just insult (Caroline, again, I think I did go over the line with you, was a bit frustrated . . . I apologize). It's good to have an open discussion, and I do try to see opposing points of view to my own, as difficult as it may be. Some are just cretinous though and worth ignoring.

I agree they were both great although the Gridlock one recording wise wasn't as clear as Moscow. I did like some of his acoustic WLL's as well, I like how he changes songs up and doesn't just do one version.

I've heard him say in interview a few times that although he changes the phrasing slightly on Queen songs as he doesn't want to imitate Freddie he also feels that they are amazing songs that don't need changing and that the audience identify with them as they are and it would be cheating the audience to change them too much.

I do think his voice is suited to Zeppelin type rock but this last tour especially I'd say he's using his lower register more which works well with Queen music. They seem to have been getting great feedback this time so maybe people have got used to his voice more, although I've read a lot of first time posters on facebook and twitter who were impressed by him.

I get the impression people calling his voice just don't like 5th Octave riffing and going off the melody or don't recognize how difficult that is, but like it or not it's ridiculous to say he can't sing, I don't know many singers past or present who can do that live, night after night consistently, or even once live in some cases.

I still say he cannot sing: He has a bad timing (listened to SMGO and he was constantly 1-2 seconds behind the music), bad pronounciation, his yodeling is annoying and unnecessary and his voice is paperthin in the upper register. He might hit high notes but it sounds atrocious. Like a goat hence he is known as the goatboy everywhere.

You don't like his 5th Octave riffing (yodelling) for the none musical and if the sound isn't pleasant to you, fair enough, but to imply he can't sing or there's something wrong with people who do like it is daft, it's incredibly hard to sing like that and shows vocal skill beyond most singers. Why not just accept the fact that voice and stage presence wise he's not for you but vocal skill wise is a different thing. There's a lot of singers I don't like to listen to but I'm not daft enough to argue they can't sing, it's just whatever's pleasing to my ears or not.

I happen to like a lot of the old style rock music where screaming vocals are pretty much mandatory so maybe that's why I like Adam's voice so much, though I also love the more operatic sounding high notes he throws in as well - (musical theater yodelling) to you I guess.
