But they don't, only in your mind and a few others who prefer to bury their head and ignore the evidence to the contrary.

Well whatever this is it certainly will never be Queen again as we know it.
Queen have been and gone and what we have here is a skeleton watered down version of a band that was dynamic and unbeatable around 34 years ago!
Other bands have watered down versions of themselves as well and its never the same again. The original bands are always the best.
More woman than men appeal towards Lambert but that must be a typical crush thing going on there.
Lambert wont bother us here in the Uk, but he does spoil Queen and what they stood for all those years ago. They were a classy sophisticated rock outfit and nobody could touch them.

He hasn't spoiled anything it's just a different type of gig and obviously it's not the same, no one would expect it to be, you can't replicate something but that doesn't mean you can't like something new. They aren't pretending to be Queen, they're Queen +, no one expects a traditional Queen gig. IMO that's why this works, they don't even try to do it the same as with Freddie.
Lambert has fans of all ages and types not just women, lots of guys go to his solo shows, probably a lot of them gay but so what, bums on seats is what it's about at the end of the day, but the majority of people at the shows are Queen fans, a lot will be casual fans of the greatest hits albums variety but there are some hard core Queen fans there, you only have to read facebook for all the comments saying I hope they do this or that song, one's only hard core fans would ask for. We know it's not your thing but lots of people love it and accept it for what it is.

Rockchic psycho when do you get it. Maylor pretend to be Queen whcih they clearly aren't. YOu did not get the cake example as well did you? Flour and water does not make a cake. Got it? If not think again and try harder.
snifflese
Your analogies are crappy. QAL is not Queen, which Brian has stated many times. They are not pretending to be anything other than what they are. They wrote a lot of the music and have rights to all of it, so they choose how it is put out there. Right now they want to tour with it! It has been a resounding success and they are having the time of their lives. Long term Queen fans have mentioned how happy they look on stage and they don't recall that ever. I am sure touring with Freddie could be a lot more tedious than with Adam. Freddie didn't sound like the easiest person to deal with. At the end of the day Queen is just not Freddie. That seems to be your perception. He did not write all the music and he wasn't the only person in the band. There were 3 other VERY IMPORTANT people who made up Queen. For me, my fav songs are from Brian, not Freddie. Freddie got a rewrite after he died and that often happens. Just like M. Jackson. It is funny how dying makes you some deity at the end of the day. Some of you folks need to get a grip! This is not Queen, not was it ever meant to be and most of us are extremely happy with QAL! Get over it!!

"Some of you folks need to get a grip!"
Look in the mirror. What you know about Queen could be written on the back of a postage stamp. And you have the fucking cheek to come on a Queen forum and disrespect Fred? Behave yourself.

snifflese is the worst to put down Freddie in ervy imaginable way to big up the ladyboy. She might only have Greatest Hits one at all. It is common knowledge that not Freddie was the Diva in Queen but Brian and Freddie was usually the guy the glued them all together after a row. Pathetic reading those postings from Glamtarts knowing shit about Queen history. They should finally fuck off from here

Love how you have the cheek to call me psycho, think you need to take a look in the mirror first after most of your posts on here.
Maylor don't pretend to be Queen, Brian specifically said in an interview "I don't know if you can call what we are Queen, but we're some version of it".
As to the cake example, obviously I got it, just didn't really care since for one you didn't think of it, just asked someone on facebook if you could use it and regardless what you call them they are still great. I personally couldn't care less if they choose to call themselves Smilebert or similar, I'd still go to see them because for me it's about hearing my favourite music played and sung well period.
Two remaining members of the band singing songs that in a lot of cases they wrote or co wrote and certainly played on makes part of Queen and if they choose to still use the name then that's their prerogative, being how they own the right to the name. Freddie may have thought up the name but they weren't his backing band.

They don't pretend to be Queen but call themselves Queen? Okay......Enjoy your cake made of flour and water..............Still better than the QAL abomination

Well rockchic nothing against your fave songs played well (which they might) but the problem arises with "sung well"....

I am not disrespecting Freddie in any way, shape or form. He was amazing and had so many talents, but I am not talking about Queen. All my remarks pertain to QAL which a lot of you totally disrespect. It is bad enough to disprespect Adam, but it is Brian and Roger that deserve all the respect in the world and they don't get it from you lot! How can you disrespect them in the manner YOU DO and on a Queen site! As I said QAL is a different beast than Queen was. It is still Biran and Roger's band and I am sure John has signed off on this, too. They wrote a ton of the music and they can do with it whatever they want. Freddie was NOT the whole band. His solo album wasn't all that, so I imagine he became famous due to the hard work of the other guys in the band. It more than likely wouldn't have worked without all four of them. It isn't always all about Freddie!!! This is a QAL thread. I am not posting on a Queen site and there is nothing dispectful to Freddie anyway. He isn't a God, although some of you act as if he is!
I don't need to know the all the little tidbits about Queen to enjoy their music and be thankful they all got together and made fabulous music for us to enjoy decades later. Knowing all the stuff you do, sure detracts from your enjoyment of the here and now. Can't see that being a Queen expert makes anything better. The die hards don't seem to be esp. unpleasant people from what I have seen over the past 8 yrs reading Queen boards.

In my previous post I meant it was the hard work of all four of the orignal members! I forgot to add "including himself:. The point is it wasn't just Freddie writing all the music and being the only one in the band. It was a joing effort and many of you seen to forget or disregard that totally and I don't understand that!

They are played brilliantly and as for the singing, that's personal taste, objectively they are sung well, just not to your taste.

What is ironic to me is that some Glamberts expect Queen fans to know and care about every little move AL makes...and on Queen boards no less. AL's mother gets married, hey why not link to a picture of that? One example of how things happened on QOL. Yet, some Glamberts can't even be bothered about some things in Queen history.
