I f you Lambert nutters on here want all the bitching to stop then go on another site specifically for Lambert fans and stop clogging Queenzone up with rants and rows over a nobody who has never ever written a decent song .

You seem to have missed the name of this thread, Queen + Adam Lambert not Queen, plenty of other parts of the board reserved for just Queen or there would be if a few haters didn't keep bringing him into threads that have nothing to do with him.

And according to yours, a band like Genesis stopped being Genesis after Peter Gabrial left, or was it Steve Hackett, or was it oh yes they carried on being Genisis even after Collins left and they Recorded and toured with Ray Wilson. . .

Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, ELP lost Palmer gained Powel then eventually reformed.

Queen is Queen. . . Still has the two guys Freddie joined. So Queen are Queen plus a singer. . . . The best guy for the job.

Snifflese Roger and Brian are NOT Queen just like when Freddie pointed out he is NOT Queen either that was the band name.
Queen are an incomplete band and because they are two original band members missing they are not a complete original band anymore those days are long gone.
May that is why they call themselves Queen+ who knows?

How about the bassplayer you dipshit

Genesis Black Sabbath etc were normal rock bands and they did not have the greatest front man that ever graced a stage like Queen did in Freddie,
Mercury is the exception to the rules here and so should never have been attempted to replace.

Freddie has not been replaced! His memory goes on and he holds a prominent place in the current concerts as well as in the current biopic movie.

I dont mean literally been replaced but Lambert is in his place with lead vocals, and those songs do not sound the same.
Queens music has lost soul since freddie is not there to sing those tunes

Which one, Doug Bogie, Mike Grose, Barry Michel, John Deacon, Pino Palladino, Danny Miranda, or Neil Fairclough?

You dipshit.

Remember the old adage, "everybody can be replaced"? However, your statement. makes it sound as if Freddie were still here and they just chose to find someone else. I am not sure you can say that. I guess the only choice is not to tour and that is not what Brian and Roger want. As it is still their band, they made the choice to find a new singer and Freddie was not replaced, he just was unavailable. What do you want them to do? Life goes on and if you stay back in the past, you are sure to be unhappy, which is your choice. There are lots of iconic bands with amazing band members, so not everyone is going to agree with your statement anyway. Saying everyone can be replaced but Freddie is just your opinion because that is your favorite band, but lots of folks have different front men they hold in the highest regard. I for one am happy the old guys (said lovingly)
have decided to carry on and bring Queen's music to many new fans that were not that familiar with the band. That is a really good thing. The 2 QAL concerts were the best I have ever been to and I have seen many iconic bands over the years, I am greatly looking forward to seeing them again in Boston this year. It is my treat to me!!

Not true, that is a fans view. And you'll have no trouble finding fans of other bands who feel the same way about the singer in their favourite band. "Normal rock bands" some fans of some bands don't even regard Queen as a rock band. . . Normal or not.

There are no exceptions to the rule, music is art and means different things to different people and is portrayed differently by different artists.

Go and have the "Freddie was the greatest" argument with a Steve Perry fan, or a Dio or Halford fan. Go and listen to Bobby Martn from Zappa's late 70's /80's line up and try saying Freddie was a better singer or had more range.

Freddie was great, he stood out from the run of the mill singers and performers, but he wasn't the only one and there are thousands of fans of other artists who would take you to task on that

Both Brian and Roger have said they were not looking for another front man after touring with Paul. Adam literally dropped in their laps — after Spike called him to their attention.

I remember how excited the Lambert family were down in the audience watching their son and brother performing WATC with the Queen guys for the first time.

Vocal Harmony I do not have to have to query Steve Perry fans on anybody because Freddie is the greatest male rock vocalist ever, so stamp your feet as much as you want but nobody else gets a look in as far as that subject is concerned!
Freddie can blow any one away with his magnificent performances and the whole of the music industry knows he is the ultimate performer.

Even if that were true it still doesn't alter the fact that Brian & Roger are still here and still love to play live and audiences are loving being able to see them play live. Anyone who isn't interested in the current line up doesn't have to go, no one's being forced, they're playing for the fans who want to see them.
