someoewholikesadam: be careful what you post - you calling me a murderer asshole?
Another post that ends in a flamewar. Great...
Middle-aged balding men venting their frustration on an internet forum. You don't see that every day, wait....
xD
Wow. Breaking news: Brian May has acknowledged the logic in this post and Queen + Adam Lambert have just announced they'll call themselves Princess from now on. A limited-edition sixpence with runner_70's face on it will be sold at the new group's launch party.
We got the Cosmos rockin'!
We got the Cosmos rockin'!
We got the Universe rockin'!
We got the Cosmos rockin'!
We got the Cosmos rockin' to the mighty power of rock'n'roll!
Cosmos Rockin? Who was the vocalist on that Raf?
I'm lucky enough to have seen Freddie live twice in the 80s and the Lambert kid a few times now. To be honest, you get a lot of bang for your buck with the new shows and the lad can certainly sing but my biggest complaint was Adam's act was the same night after night. He never deviated from the script. Fred was without doubt much more spontaneous
Runner - Well, you are quite scary.
Runner,
Check your punctuation. You are actually calling yourself an asshole in your post.
Example: Bite me, asshole. (Grammatically correct)
Bite me asshole (Kinky pirate)
FUck You , Wanker - better?? With a name like someonewholikesadam i dont need to take you seriously you prick
Are there no mods on this board? People shouldn't have to be verbally abused by the runner. This is outrageous the way he talks to people! Is there no possible way to get him banned?

ThIs was a clever marketing tool to get bums on seats so they call it Queen + and you think your getting a good deal of seeing two artists for the price of one
but you are not really.
What you get is two members from a previous rock band and a novice from a talent show who thinks he knows it all but he does not.
Lack of ambience and the novice singer takes over the band with ridiculous costumes, screaming vocals and loses the Queen identity completely.
This is not a Queen show in the slightest, it is a tribute of what they were back in the day with them trying to capture the magic but failing miserably.
If you want to see a proper Queen tribute show go and see "Mercury" or " Magic" but excellent entertainment.
[/QUOTE]
THIS is the best posting on QAL ever. [/QUOTE]
Actually it's mostly incorrect, especially the failing miserably part as you can plainly see, but whatever!
happystar, go to a live show and then give us your half-baked opinions! I dare ya!

Well the "failing miserably" bit is where they have tried to be Queen but we all know they will never truly be Queen ever again.
They can only pay tribute to themselves as a four piece rock outfit. It is not Queen in the slightest.
it is good news then that we have the magic on cds and dvds so we can look back and compare how brilliant Queen were with the unmatched magnificent Freddie Mercury.
Now take a look at a limp Queen on stage with a rock n roll wannabe, adam lambert its not the same and fans have left in there thousands disappointed.
yes lots of little girls drool over him but he is a novelty for all to laugh at for he does look plastic like a barbie doll.[/QUOTE]
I'm struggling to find where the fans have left in their thousands disappointed, from what I read the fans are loving it and more and more of them are asking for extra shows.
As to being Queen again, well they aren't even trying, that's why they called it Queen + rather than do what a lot of band do and keep the name like for e.g AC/DC. They don't market themselves as Queen but a collaboration, no one goes expecting Queen and from the comments no one's disappointed that they don't get Queen, they accept that's over and this is a celebration of their music.

Many Queen fans have thrown in the towel to Queen so you wont hear from the masses who have stopped seeing them live.
Brian knows exactly that he hacked off a lot of Queen fans when he issued a statement by saying" if you do not like the new boy then thank you and goodbye" Many Queen fans were outraged at his flippant comments as if it was not for them he would not be a millionaire. He never even asked the fans who THEY wanted to front Queen, he just went behind all the fans backs and picked who he wanted and that was regardless of what Roger thought.
If they could not find anyone better than Freddie then why carry on with anyone?
I think next year things will change and Queen will be very quiet. This freak show will be long forgotten and many ardent fans like myself will rejoice and be glad that this cheesy tour is long gone.[/QUOTE]
Firstly Brian & Roger should be the ones to choose the singer since they are the ones who have to be out on the road with them. Imagine if they had put it to a vote. Aside from the fact that everyone would have their own opinion and wouldn't have necessarily agreed who it should be but it could have ended up being someone they couldn't get along with, didn't enjoy working with and spent the entire tour wishing it was over. Seriously would you want to find yourself in that situation if you didn't have to? And what makes you think Roger wasn't ok with it?
Secondly when Brian made that comment, if you listen to what he actually said it was clear he expected most of the original fans to not be onboard with it, he said "we'll be seeing new faces and hopfully a few old ones", he'd obviously seen negative feedback from the early shows and was probably annoyed that they were getting so much stick for essentially still wanting to play live.
There may have been a lot of Queen fans who didn't like the collab at the beginning but things have changed, more and more have seen the shows and been won over. I've seen loads of comments on Twitter & Facebook from die hard fans who've seen Freddie loads of times and are still going to multiple shows now.
I do think they will give it a break next year, Adam will most likely be doing solo stuff but unless they suddenly develop a health problem they will be back touring again after that, Brian said he'd be doing this until he drops. I'm guessing Roger feels the same although I haven't heard him actually say it.
Happystar, why on god's green earth would Brian and or Roger consult the fans as to who they would like fronting the band? He went behind the fan's backs and picked out who he wanted? Really. So, if you are a storeowner and you are moving to another place, do you consult all the shoppers as to what they would prefer as far as a new location? I have never heard anything more ridiculous in my entire life. I think that qualifies as one of the most stupid statements I have ever read on here and that is saying a lot. When you make a personal decision, do you consult the world? No, you make it yourself for the most part, other than family or very close friend who might weigh in. I have no idea why you would ever think Roger was not on board as I have never read that. Seems to me it was Spike or Neill maybe, that sent them a video of Adam on Idol and Queen chose to come and sing with him and check him out at the Finale. I don't believe it was ever a Brian only decision. Then they much, they later did the EMA and then the IHeart show. Each one to carefully test the waters and vet him, which is what a proper band would do. Once Adam had passed all the vetting which was over a several year period, they decided to embark on their journey.
Picking your band mate is not anyone else's business but Brian and Roger's (no clue what John said, but must not have nixed it!) and then the other members playing with Queen. If Brian had listened to die hard Queen fans, there would have been no QAL, which would have been a terrible shame seeing all the joy they have had playing as a band and all the job the million of fans have had in the last 160 plus shows. Brian is right about lump it, or leave it. If you don't like QAL, that is your right, but goodbye for now. It makes no sense to rant about QAL every day. But way more die hards have fallen in love with QAL, so your entire post is just ridiculous.

Spike's wife called him in to watch Adam and then he called Roger and told him to check him out. Roger says he watched the Rock week and then they were called in to do the finale, they say it was co-incidence. Roger always talks like it was as much his decision to recruit Adam.

I do not read other replies from these army of Lambprick fans on here so where are they all then, or are you his only two fans getting paid to defend this novelty boy?
Time & time again same 3 girls on here so if Lambprick has male admirers where are they then ?
AC/DC confirmed with there fans when Brian Johnson was picked to the front the band and that worked out fine.
Brian has become very arrogant and he thinks Queen is his business were Roger is the last to know about stuff.
May was always jealous of Freddie as Mercury always dismissed Mays idea if they were ridiculous and i am sure Lambert would also get the thumbs down from Freddie.
I know John Deacon is not fussed, because he even rejected Robbie Williams as lead singers for Queen.[/QUOTE]
There's guys post on here, some earlier in the thread, you just choose to ignore them because it doesn't fit what you're trying to say.
You still haven't said how Brian went over Roger's head about Adam? Also not sure why you say he was jealous of Freddie. And none of us know what Freddie would think of Adam since we can't exactly ask him.
Most people are just sick and tired of dealing with you. I was a teacher, so I may have a lot more patience than the average person. Males are not really patient and probably have written you off. What is the point? Mus husband would have wasted about 5 mins reading your crap, called you a ... and then scrolled over anything with your name on it! Personally, I just think you do this for fun to spin people off and you have a hefty amount of hate in your soul. Queen is Brian's business, just in case you were confused. I don't get the feeling Roger is out of the picture. I have read tons of stuff about QAL over the years and you are the only person that has ever suggested such a thing. I am sure it is Fake News, just like all you other BS. If we all ignore you, will you go away, pretty please? Scrolling past you and runner might just be the answer! Will you get bored and leave if everyone pretends you are not there?
