£300 FOR A TICKET & NO FREDDIE OR JOHN IS THAT FAIR?

Queen always toured with many many trucks so that is not unusual in Queen terms.

There's the small matter of inflation though and QAL prices aren't anywhere near the most expensive for touring artists.

Thistleboy you need to control that petty temper of yours and you should not reply if it annoys you that is your problem not mine matey.
You do name calling as well as i have just read your other comments slagging me off which is rather funny.
You sound very immature and for the record i do not take drugs cos i am not that pathetic.
By the way i am not on the wrong section, this is still a general discussion on Queen.
I have every right to express my vies no matter how corse they are, have you not read music magazines were journalists are brash, because Freddie had it most of his adult life.

Temper? Oh no, I'm actually laughing every time.

I don't think you can judge anyone regarding maturity or insults. I'm only giving you back what you dish out. No, it's not the grown up thing to do, but I can have grown up conversations with others and still be entitled to have a little fun baiting my favourite troll.

If you could have a decent discussion, without any wise cracks or insulting people with an opposing view, that would be great.

But whilst you do what you do, I'm going to hound you at every corner until you either learn or fuck off. Let's call it a service to everyone else. If you're arguing with me, you're leaving them alone.

I don't want you to fuck off, BTW.

Thistleboy ok then i will stay just to make you happy lol
i know if i leave youl be very sad and wont have anyone to bully.
i have tried decent discussions on here then VH comes on and it all erupts with him been obnoxious.

Don't blame anyone else. Your own comments lead to it.

Sealion what the hell do you know about music if you think an american idol looser is justified to replace a rock legend? Go get back to your Q+ hovel.

Happystar also started the thread:
( NO ROWS ON THIS THREAD PLEASE, JUST STICK TO THE TOPIC)

Yeah, that...

And it‘s you, who is always dragging AL into your posts. I only enjoy seeing Brian and Roger in concert. And by that I found a lot of respect for Lambert. And I learnt, that he can sing Queen‘s songs very well. His voice is not always my cup of tea, but whatever.

No they dont, the blame is on anyone who replies back and kicks off

Sealion never accept second best then, your too tolerant of accepting what your not happy with.
That is the trouble with many Queen fans saying Lambert is ok when really they know Freddie was better.
I do not fall for that junk, for me it is Freddie and john or do not bother.

It‘s not second best. It‘s the best you can get now.

I would actually say, that Lambert is the best singer, that I‘ve heard in many years.
I know many fans don‘t agree here, but just from the ability to sing, I say, that AL is better than Freddie. I remember seeing Fred live and thinking: That was bad. Far from the quality of the records (and I don‘t mean different from the record, I mean badly sung, different would have been OK). Of course there were also great songs and whole gigs, but by far not all.
As for being a frontman and entertainer on stage, Freddie was brilliant. AL is getting better with every tour, but not as natural. We will see, what he will be like after 15 years on tour.

The stage production with all its lights, lasers and gimmicks is still the most up to date like in th old days - only up to these days of course. And Brian is playing better every year for some time now.

My conclusion: You get a show well worth your money.

Sealion well you are entitled to your opinion but i actually think Brian's playing has become worse over the years.
He was brilliant around 1976 up to 1980 then he started to get lazy and now i think his playing is flat.
Freddie was a brilliant singer so really his style was more rock n roll were Lambert is west end musical sort of Michael Ball style of singing.

Sealion hit the nail on the head "It‘s not second best. It‘s the best you can get now."

If you or anyone else doesn't want to see anyone other than Freddie that's fine, but for those of us who want to see a live show they are brilliant. You can never get back what was, Freddie's sadly gone and nothing is gonna change that, you can watch video footage and listen to albums but for a live show it's the guys with another singer or nothing. You choose nothing and that's fine for you but some of us like to go and see Brian & Roger live and Adam makes that possible.

Brian‘s playing got better and better since 2012. I won‘t compare it to the earlier times, because I don‘t think it‘s fair. He‘s 71! And for that age he‘s fucking great!

Right. Although, when you compare old videos with Lambert from 2012-14/15 and then see him today, then he got A LOT better. I really enjoyed the rock songs (SCC, IWIA...) this last year.

Check out Brians chords on A Day At The Races album and songs like Tie your mother down, he was on fire back then.
Yes i know he is 71 and still a great guitarist but his best days were in the 70s,

Your opinion.
And as I said: To compare Brian‘s playing at age 30 to now isn‘t really fair. The fingers aren‘t as agile any more.
But he‘s playing with more finesse and a lot of experience now. Plus he‘s still the same perfectionist (which can even get boring.) ;-)

one could say the same about Tom Jones or Paul McCartney but there comes a time when they must step down because they start to look pathetic or die on stage !
