I'll name 2. Roger Taylor & Brian May! And, right or wrong, whether we like it or not, they love doing it and will keep doing it until they can't no more.

1. Jeff Scott Soto ... WHO? Not a rock star. Rock & roller maybe, but not a rock star.
2. Meatloaf isn't a rock star ( https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/the-sound-and-the-fury-of-meat-loaf-i-am-not-a-rock-star-201874/ ). He loves Freddie Mercury, he also loves Adam Lambert... from what I've seen, he never gave a review of Queen performing with Adam Lambert and his view on it.
3. Dee Snider seems too nice to say anything bad about anyone, he's an obsessed Queen fan. He models his songs off of Queen songs. He'd promote a single by Brian, Roger, and Adam farting repeatedly on record. He also likes to release solo albums as Twisted Sister albums.
4. Alice Cooper... too friendly with the band to get a good opinion. Despite his 'horror' crap, he's too nice of a guy to say anything bad about much of anything.
5. Joe Elliot and Rick Savage... They probably get free weekly Queen + Adam Lambert shirts in the mail.

I've seen others but no matter who I said you'd have an answer. Depends what you consider a rock star? Only people who've made it massive like Queen?
JSS is a hard rock/metal singer and has worked with some big names but hasn't had huge mainstream success but that shouldn't void his opinion on music.
Meatloaf was known as a rock star back in the day even if he himself doesn't think that but so far as I know he hasn't commented on their show.
Don't know that much about Dee tbh.
Alice said he first saw Adam on Idol and instantly said he should be the new singer, in fact I think he was one of the one's who phoned Brian and told him about Adam. He'd no need to even mention him before they got together if he wasn't impressed.
While Joe & Rick saw them in Ireland and Vegas and may have been given free T shirts I doubt they'd wear them over a Queen only T shirt at their gigs just because they were free.
This is what Joe had to say after seeing them in Ireland. "For me the absolute highlight of last Saturdays show at the 3Arena in Dublin was Queen and Adam Lambert playing that song. Unbelievable. The lights, the lasers, the sound, the performances of everybody on stage was absolutely top notch. If you haven't got a ticket yet, go see these guys. Legends of course we all know that. Adam Lambert will be the first to stand up and say he's no Fred, but my goodness one of the best live vocals I've ever heard. And Rick Savage who was sat next to me said exactly the same thing. Was Adam Lambert last week in Dublin."

i wonder if all the lights and lasers were stripped down would they still be awesome?
Freddie done it with Queen at Live Aid and nailed it big time, not sure Adam could though.

Hard to say, Live Aid was a massive show with multiple artists for a cause and there's no question Queen stole the show in their 20 minute set but they were always about big shows with lights and staging in their proper tours so I doubt they'd ever do a stripped down show like that on an actual tour. Adam's done short solo shows with no fancy lights and gimmicks etc but then for most of them the audience were his own fans so they're predisposed to love him whatever. I guess it's a question that may never be answered.

Maybe a Live Aid sequel in '25? I wonder if Adam could make an impression. What do you think, honestly?

Honestly, I think he'd do fine in that setting. Do I think it would be perceived in the way Freddie and Queen were back then and become the iconic performance that did, definitely not.

Freddie's iconic, a legend and Adam is filling in on vocals for him but that's it, he's never gonna actually replace him in people's minds as the frontman for Queen and he wouldn't want to. Also Freddie had a totally different way of performing, he kind of demanded your attention in a larger than life, powerful way that Adam doesn't have. In Live Aid especially it was like he took it to another level, I honestly couldn't see anyone topping that now or even coming close tbh.

Also Live Aid was very of it's time. The world was watching.
These days you get global streaming of gigs pretty much every night.
Remember Queen playing live on BBC New Years Eve gig 2012 / 13 was it? I'd say that was a comparable event. No one talks about that.

No, it wouldn’t be perceived in the same way. It was a surprise back then. Today the pressure on Q+AL would be immense. People would expect an iconic performance.
I nevertheless believe, that AL would do fine. People are still talking about their performances at RiR 2015, Isle of Wright 2016 or NYE 2014.
Take another set with I want it all, The Show Must Go on, Another one bites the dust and maybe Who wants to live forever plus a piece of BoRhap, WWRY and WATC - and Q+AL would stun the world.
I don’t see other bands atm, that are as impressive as them.

Dysan Queen playing on BBC new years eve back in 2014 was it? Anyway it has to be said it was dire and embarrassing for many die hard Queen fans, i cringed .
The band looked empty and tired and Lambert just screeched his way through the Queen back catalogue, appalling show,

It's not a competition between Queen Freddie era and Queen + AL, they are doing great for what they are and people are loving the shows. I didn't see that on TV at the time but loads of people got interested in the shows through seeing it so other people obviously didn't see it how you're describing it and Adam's name was the top search on google for three days after that NYE show.

No, no competition.
Every year since NYE 2014 there have been people on twitter comparing the artists performance to Q+AL‘s. And they beg BBC to get Q+AL back for the next year.
