Hear all the interview. Hear what Roger responds when is asked about touring again. Here's your bullshit. Also Roger makes some not so nice remarks about Brian. Joining the dots, John's retirement it's not so clear as Roger and Brian try to make it since 1997. I think we don't know the full story, and probably never will.[/QUOTE]
Touring with a new lead singer is one thing but touring with a c-list replacement (at best), a pure imitator is just embarrassing and definitely ruins Queen's legacy.
A "superstar from the tribute concert" as the reporters propose in the interview could have worked. I think especially George Michael would have given Queen's songs his own touch and would have been a great lead singer for a tribute tour or something like that. Even Paul Rodgers was the wrong guy for Queen (though I have the greatest respect for his stuff with Free/Bad Company). Elton John doesn't work for the rockier songs imho though I like his version of The Show must go on with the three guys.
John may have agreed to touring with a respectable and fitting singer, but as he didn't even like Robbie Williams - who's reached much more than AL ever will - we can guess what he thinks of AL...
However, I agree that we probably may never truly know what happened between the remaining members in the 90's - sadly. I still hope things will be clearer one day or we'll hear the songs John and Roger worked on for what would become Made In Heaven. But i guess nothing like that will happen as long as the boys are alive.

Peter Hince tells it how it is and of course if this story is true about him disliking AL then he is correct.
He worked closely with Freddie for many years and he knows when something does not work, indeed Lambert is vegas cabaret spot on and Brian has snubbed him by saying he never liked his book,
well i wonder why that was eh? Mr May hates the truth and Mr Hince is honest as daylight. I have Read Peters book and it is excellent and honest as it can be.[/QUOTE]
Well if we're going off people who worked closely with Freddie where does Peter Freestone's opinion fit in since he's been to see QAL and has no problem with them? The truth is it's personal opinion regardless who they are, some like it some don't, you can find someone who agrees with them for every person who doesn't.

The facts of this are as follows...
Peter Hince retired once got talked back into it by Freddie, didn't like it much so went back to his photographic work
John and Roger were more ready emotionally to work on MIH so they started it, and early on in the process John was certainly still considering Queen as a working project
I met him in 97, and I can tell you he absolutely wasn't in a place where I could see him wishing to step back into the limelight, he was nervous, he was unsure of himself and he clearly didn't want the attention, we spoke for a while I shook his hand and we parted without any of the hassle of autographs or photographs.
Roger and Brian fell out briefly in the early stages of working on MIH, but quickly resolved their differences and worked on possible ways of getting a working band back together, not until Paul Rodgers came alone was it really possible, unfortunately that partership went as far as it could go, and Queen could no longer work with Paul.... They each wanted different things.
Adam is definatly a diva, but they work well together and it's much more of a partnership, they will continue to work together in the future, it is a race against time now due to arthritis attacking both Brian and Roger, so go see them while you can, it aint gonna last much longer.....

I thought they trawled the reality shows cos whoever they picked would do what he was told, unlike Paul Rodgers who was more of an equal and had his own legacy.

Well legacy doesn't make up for being as boring as watching paint dry! No thank you very much!

Well if that's true they must have had a bit of a shock when they got Adam, he's not good with being told what to do. Don't believe they trawled anywhere tbh, they got told about him by Spike and loads of other people before they met him and they clearly don't tell him what to do and have said so in interviews.

Well, if Bri and Rog have said it in interviews it must be true. I stand corrected.

Adam is not a Vegas cabaret singer like Elvis was! At least not yet.
Why is it so hard for some people to accept a 6-1/2 year collaboration of worldwide sold out shows? BTW Adam is NOT a Freddie imitator. He does it his own way.

I would trust Brian and Roger before I listened to any of you. Not quite sure why you people always think they are lying. I assume it has something to do with the fact that what they say doesn't agree with your erroneous misconceptions. I tend to believe the people who are the ones making the decisions, not folks who have no knowledge of Queen's business.

For the people who call Adam a C-lister (because his music wasn’t accepted on radio/TV as much as some others were), I have posted on the “Is Adam a rock star” thread some upcoming events: He will be at X Factor judges houses this weekend, performing on NBC special on Oct 29, “A Very Wicked Halloween,” and has taped a segment for an Elvis special on 1/9/19, performing “Blue Suede Shoes.”

Agreed. But those who know, know. Those who think they know or believe they have a right to rewrite history are the people who shout most and loudest in the hope that everyone else will bow to their unfounded views.
