Last night I was strugguling to get to sleep so I decided to watch some of Freddie's performances on you tube."sheer heart attack" in paris.Plus "Dragon Attack" and "Somebody to love " from Milton Keynes.The way Freddie took the stage by storm was all over the stage ,pushing Moniters not in use even throwing his half Mic over the the top of poor Rogers head!A fantastic singer and showman at the very top of his game.I then watched two songs with Adam out front.He shuffled around the stage with his red fur coat on ,no stage craft and no effort at all.Hiis voice all over the place ,wiggling his ass for the glamberts.It made me feel very sad to watch this and what Brian and Roger see in him I don't know,oter than he is an American and has got interest in Queen back over the pond. I also noticed at the Bafta's on Sunday.There were quite a few Queen fans waiting for autographs from Brian and Roger.Brian walked up the red carpet with Anita and totally blanked the waiting fans.Roger signed about 4 autographs,They seem to have forgotten the fans gave them all that they have.
That is your opinion, which is you are totally entitled to. I have seen them twice live and that is not my impression at all. The audience is electric and everyone is cheering and singing and laughing when Adam's antics are just silly. He does it on purpose for a few of the songs and then he laughs, because he knows it was silly, and the audience laughs with him. Dragon Attack is not one of my favs, check out WWTLF, IWBTLY form the Asian tour or UP, as those are more serious and show his vocal prowess and the audience interaction in IWBTLY. I wish he would sing that one here. He has a different vibe than Freddie on Killer Queen, Dragon Attack, Bicycle and you either like it or you don't. The audience gets a great laugh over the "quirky, silly" part of the show.
He isn't Freddie and that is what Brian and Roger wanted in a frontman and that is what they got.
If Adam imitated Freddie running all over the stage, philip storey would complain that he is a copycat and not being original.
Also, he wore that red fur coat 7 years ago and has become more comfortable since.

That show with the red fur jacket was back in 2012, hardly comparable with their later shows.

Yes Brian in my opinion has became very arrogant to the point that he forgets it was us the ardent Queen fans of the last 30 years that made him rich and
he conveniently forgets that.
Adam is a complete joke for Queen although on his own he would do well.
No one fits Queen other that Freddie because Queen was his creation alone.
Freddie had the vision and the determination to make the band work.
I have often done what you have done Philip by watching ten minutes of Freddie then Adam and i immediately see Queen now look ridiculous and lost
and Adam has made Queen look trashy and a total dogs dinner.
What the hell people see in this weird combo i just do not know, the world has gone mad.
Freddie is still the king of Queen.[/QUOTE]
Sorry Gezzer but you're still talking utter bull.

The fans in Auckland a couple of years ago who Brian signed autographs for and posed for photos with wouldn't agree with you.
Brian is one of the most approachable rock stars and usually always finds time to talk, if he was with Anita on a red carpet with lots of press etc he wouldn't play Mr Rock star and leave her standing there like a spare part.

Yeah exactly. A group of Adam's fans were at the shows in Vegas and sat in the lobby of the hotel when Brian was walking through, he went over and sat down and talked with them for around 20mins, took photo's with them and answered lots of questions, they were thrilled and said he was so down to earth and sweet. I've read plenty comments from people who've met him in various places who all say he's really approachable but like anyone there must be times where he's just not able to stop and sign things etc for whatever reason.
Clarity, go to a QAL show when it comes near you — guaranteed to blow your mind!
I have seen QAL show and when AL got on his little bike I felt embarrassed he looked pathetic,his vocal range is awful,he has not one bit of stage presence.He is overweight which could be the reason that he does not move around the stage.When Freddie came of stage sweat was dripping from him,he had given every last drop of energy.Most of you AL fans have no idea of the history of the band and what they were in their prime,go on AL's sites as you can thenkiss his ass at your pleasure.
Obviously you couldn't have been at a show or you would know that Adam has a tremendous range. You must have seen someone else singing, not Adam. In fact Brian May has said that Adam's actual live singing range is more than Freddie's, as Freddie could sing some of those notes in the studio, but could not do it singing live. I just saw that remark in an interview with Brian the other day. You can hop over to the Freddie threads and do all the ass kissing that you like there. It is not needed here on the QAL thread. All of us know and greatly appreciate Freddie, but your remarks are unwarranted on this section of Queenzone.

Adam has the range to sing in the original key and if you were embarrassed by him that's your issue, most people find it funny. Adam sweats on stage and he's not the least bit fat - maybe if you're comparing him to Freddie who was extremely slim especially in the 70's but not by any normal standards. And FYI I'm a Queen fan since 74 and only know of Adam through his collab with them.
I’ve never seen Freddie live, only on DVDs. He moved non-stop, so much so that he was the whole show and pretty much upstaged the other 3 band members.
That was fine back then but Adam has too much admiration and respect for the legends he is performing with now to try to be the whole show.
Too fat? Hmmm, I don’t think he would fit in those tight leather pants if he is fat. He has a big frame, broad shoulders, long legs and moves pretty good for being over 6 feet!
