Lambert is utter dogshite and has tarnished Queen's legacy. Bring back Paul Rodgers or better still get Justin Hawkins fronting the band!

Why would you want Russian Headlong to contact Brian and Roger? WTF. Do you not think Brian and Roger are busy enough?
I think Queen fans can express their views without running to Brian and Roger. I remember a few years ago when a thread was locked on QOL, a few Glamberts tweeted Brian May for "help'" in hoping to get it unlocked. I say it's some of the Glamberts who could not accept things when thngs don't go the way they like by tweetng Brian May about a thread being locked back then. SMH.

I'm going to be honest. Some of it is to do with the set list, sure. I'm a Queen fan who would love to hear deeper cuts in the Queen back catalogue.
I think it's a shame the boring old gimmcks are still being done, the bike, the coronet...especially the coronet, that is one thing I don't think I ever will like. That's just screams crassness to me.
My main beef is that there is less of Freddie and John sen during these shows. I think they should be shown more. It's discouraging to me as a Queen fan that AL is even singing the ending of Bohemian Rhapsody by himself, Freddie's vocals are simply not a part of the ending anymore. I think it's a big shame DOOL is rarely performed any more. Even if it was done every few shows, instead of rarely would be better than nothing. Love Of My Life which I adore isn't enough, IMO. Nor is that speech that AL does is enough.
*All IMO.*

Well, If John wanted to be featured in the show, he is still with us and he could be up on that stage. It is his choice not to do so. I see no reason for any fuss to be made over him. As far as Freddie, it is hard for Adam to be accepted if all you see is Freddie. Initially, there was great resistance and it was a hard road and a long road for Adam to be appreciated. I think the more Freddie is shown, the harder it is. This is not Queen with Freddie, as you guys always say. It is Queen with Adam which equals QAL. I see no good reason for more of Freddie, honestly. It undermines QAL and what they are trying to achieve. I think the right balance has been achieved as you don't want to make things harder for yourself. I think at this point Adam has earned the right to sing the end of BR. At some point the past is over and people are on to new things. That is just the way of the world and I think it is handled nicely in the show. Let Freddie sing The Dayoos and be by himself.

Yes, he retired, as many people do. Would you want hm to throw his support for Q+AL or something?
You don't see why an fuss should be made out John? He is a tremendous bass player and song writer for a couple of things. Plus he was a member of Queen for years. Do I even have to point that out? Do I have to point any of this post out? Obviously, I do. Oh dear.
Queen with Adam? Erm, no thanks. It's not even close to being Queen. And AL himself has said he hasn't replaced Freddie, and nor is he the new singer for Queen. He sums it up when he says he a guest. A very fortunate guest, but still a guest.
The very fact you say you don't know why there is a "fuss" made about John and no good reason for more of Freddie...that is mnd boggling honestly. Yikes at the things some Glamberts come out and say, sure I've read tweets and crap like that on AL boards, but this is actually a Queen board. Of course, I'm not going to be happy with less of Freddie and John. I'm not going to be sorry for wanting more of Freddie and John.
Dayoos...that's hardly enough, IMO. Not near enough. For years I have been reading Q+AL is a celebration of Queen. How the f**k can it be a celebration with less of Freddie and John? I truly don't think showing more of Freddie and John would hurt anyone or anything. Well except for entitled Glamberts who want as much as AL and less of the two guys who put their blood, sweat and tears into Queen for years. History can't be erased.
You know I have things to say about Q+AL. I'd feel alot better if Freddie and John were shown more during these shows.
Don't ever forget this. AL would not be where is he is without Freddie, Brian, Roger and John. That's a fact.

The people who don’t go to the shows are the most offended by who and what is and is not included. QAL is Brian and Roger’s show and they don’t need any suggestions from the peanut gallery because what they are doing is magnificent!
Get yourself to Vegas and it will blow your minds!

Who has ever said they were offended? Not me. You make it seem like it's a bad thing to want to see and hear more of Freddie and John. It's not a bad thing.
Yes, of course, everything is magnificent according to you. Not all of us think it's magnificent. Actually, when Lady GaGa and Nate joined Brian and Roger for a couple of songs, you didn't think that was magnificent. So, I guess I'm right...as long as AL is singing the Queen songs ever is peachy keen for you and that is what matters the most for you.
I wouldn't put much stock in what a Glambert Granny like yourself has to say. You aren't even a Queen fan, that's pretty much it.
You say people should go to Vegas because you are still trying to promote and sell tickets. LOL.
