Freddie vs Adam on you tube

I am sick of being criticized because QAL and ADAM, the A part, is discussed here. You "people" (I guess that is what you are, but sometimes I wonder) take such offense at anything positive that is said about the collaboration. My point is that if Freddie is all you wish to discuss (since there doesn't seem to be that much about the other members on this site), there are plenty of places to do it besides right here. Of course there will be comparisons because every time someone makes a remark about Adam, you drag Freddie into it and constantly state how wonderful he is and how much Adam sucks. If you don't like it, then don't compare the two. If you are too dense to understand that concept, not my problem.

I went to see Queen with Adam at the awful Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham right in the middle of Birmingham,a real bitch to get to.In the run up to the show I told a few people I was going to see Queen,they all looked puzzled, "but Freddies dead". So I replied oh they have a guest singer his name is Adam Lambert,they all looked at me and said "who's he?" I said oh he came second in an American talent show,no one seemed to have a clue who he was.He is known in the states but virtually unknown in the uk ,except for Queen fans who are split down the middle if he is good or not.Also this site is called Queenzone not Queen plus Adam Lambert zone.

What is it that you people don't get about the site being divided into many different threads? This one small area is for QAL and there are a huge number of threads for all other Queen related things. I am just not sure why that is so difficult for some of you to fathom. Queen is in a different phase of its history right now and it is QAL which is allowed to be discussed here. I don't think many people who like Adam are out discussing in the old Queen centric threads, If it upsets you to see Adam mentioned, go to those areas that don't bring up his name. It is very simple, really. Some of us with differing viewpoints can discuss nicely, but with some of you it is impossible since you get so ugly and vindictive.

Well you're the person who started this thread about Adam Lambert. It seems a bit strange having started a topic you're now complaining about it.

As people have pointed out before, this is the Q+AL section. Just as Queen on line has a Queen+AL section. It's part of what the band are currently about.

If you're so concerned about the current live line up in the way that you are, why do you bother posting about it. Why not set up your own Queen site which only allows discussion about the original band, you can ban people from talking about anyone other than Freddie, Brian , Roger and John.

One other thing, what didn't you like about The Barclay Card Arena in Birmingham, I've always thought of it as a good city centre venue.

He can't be so unknown over here or no one would go to his solo shows and that's not the case but he is more known in the USA for obvious reasons and he's a lot more known in various European countries and places like Australia and China. End of the day I can't see what difference it makes, people who love Queen either like the shows or they don't and go or not accordingly. They sell out pretty much everywhere so there's enough of a demand to make it worthwhile.

And seriously how many times does it need saying that while the site may be called Queenzone this particular part is Queen + Adam and therefore will have things about Adam posted in it. What's so difficult about ignoring this part of the site for people who aren't on board with the QAL thing, plenty other parts of the site to post in.

Why, the ENTIRE PREMISE OF THIS THREAD is another VERSUS *COMPARISON*

A *COMPARISON*

if people don't like the chub dude being criticised for his unappealing unRockiness... then DON'T FUCKING BRING IT UP!

It's absolutely nuts.

Cheesus, Man. ....i mean, Good God what the hell r y'all smoking? [/QUOTE]

In case you didn't notice the one starting this unnecessary thread was philip storey who doesn't like Adam and started the thread just to call him, we would gladly do without the comparisons but it ain't gonna happen while you have people who love to start arguments.

Nope i don't notice many except the ones who done on needlessly about Adam. And i stay out of those unless having an opinion on a matter.

This however was a TOPIC about exactly such a thing. Comparing Freddie and Adam.

Whoever started it, it's in the correct forum and it's legit

It's in the correct forum but designed to cause arguments and you seemed to be saying "why compare if you don't want people calling him, implying it was one of Adam's fans that had started the thread as an opportunity to compare, or at least that's how I read your comment - sorry if I misunderstood what you were getting at.

By the way everything is NOT the Freddie section. There were three others who sang with him and now there is QAL. Some places are more appropriate for certain comments and obsessive posting. As I said, I don't go into the Queen only sections as I am sure it wouldn't be pleasant nor would I want to. I have at least enough sense to stay out of most areas on Queenzone. People who hate Adam could show the same consideration and if they do have a dissenting opinion, it doesn't have to be so nasty and contentious. Not everyone likes the same thing and I am perfectly fine with that. But most people on here don't respect my view point, which is a big problem.

I am not keen on the Barclaycard arena as its right in the middle of Birmingham,we went on a Saturday and the traffic was very bad.I prefer the NEC genting arena as its on the outskirts of Birmingham and has better views and facilites for wheelchair users.My favourite arena is at Leeds the seating and views are amazing.My days of going to concerts is over now as I am waiting for several operations on my knees and ankles.But do you know I still dream of going to Knebworth and enjoying the best day of my life and also Milton Keynes.Those of you who enjoy Queen with Adam I hope you enjoy the concerts as much as I did with Freddie.I didn't mean to stir things up so much,just a bit of fun really.Good night ,god bless ,you bunc of tarts !

philip storey, you are one lucky guy that you were an eyewitness to musical history at Knebworth and Milton Keynes. We are happy Brian and Roger still want to share their iconic music with the world.

Best of luck and Godspeed to you in any future surgeries!

I wish you well, too! I know how you feel although I can get around alright, just painfully! I have had two hip replacements in under 2 years and am scheduled for a totally unstable left knee replacement in April. I just had my first of 3 gel injections into the right knee so that I will be able to go through rehab once the left knee is replaced. If it doesn't work, I am screwed! I will say that after just one injection it does feel better so I am hoping. I have terrible bones and they are all going at the same time. It isn't fun when you can't get around. Stairs are awful and we have two sets in our house. I count the number of times I go up and down. I can very well imagine what you are feeling and I hope it all turns out well and you will be able to once again get around under your own power!

You know, everyone likes what they like. You are in England and Freddie was your guy, so it makes sense that you like him the very best. I have always loved Queen but being here in the US and stationed all over with the military, I didn't follow them, other than buy their music. There were no youtubes or TV or anything to involve yourself with the band. So my investment in Freddie and Queen is going to be way less than you, Philip. I saw Adam on Idol when I was down caring for my Dad in another state. I did have a lot of time on my hands and was getting used to the internet and Itunes and lots of new things for me. From the get go something resonated with Adam. I loved his voice (high tenor voices that sing classically are my thing) and he seemed like such a nice intelligent young man who was sweet to his mom and family. He also reminded me of my first crush, Elvis!! I have followed him ever since. I see him once on every tour, both his own and QAL. So I am not a super crazy fan, but I do love his voice and have a soft spot in my heart for him. It may tie in to the time I spent at Dad's while watching him, not really sure why. I think some of his own songs are quite good, some not so much, as he could do a lot more with that voice. Queen's music allows him to really go for it when singing and I love that. I hope his new music will be more natural, no EDM and surplus noise over his vocals and just more Queen like. His voice just speaks to me for whatever reason just like Freddie speaks to you. I have no problem with folks who can't stand Adam. I just hate it when such ugly things are said about him as I think he doesn't deserve it. He seems like a lovely young man who has a hard road to walk sometimes with all the hate thrown his way. I do think he has one of the best voices around nowadays. That is my story!! It is a shame Adam is not a songwriter, because nowadays singers only gain cred when they write their own music. Doesn't seem to matter if their voices are horrendous, which I honestly don't get!

Philip Storey : You have nothing to apologise for because your views are just that "your views" Many millions of Queen fans already know Adam Lambert is nowhere as brilliant as Freddie Mercury and the very few Lambert fans that clog up Queenzone are in the minority so do not worry about that.
Queenzone members are not stupid we all know Lambert is a total embarrassment and a tool and Queen does not exist anymore the name is merely used to get bums on seats.
Four talented men made up Queen (the whole band) 2 Men cannot be called Queen because that is as false as saying Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still The Beatles.
If you fall for this hype your pockets will be pretty empty soon.
Nice to know you think Freddie is still amazing and Adam is still panto theatrical trash.

Finally a fitting name for you since you've "switched" names about 10 times in the last month.

The rest of your post aside from the part about "your views are just your views and no need to apologize" is the same BS as usual.

Your on an official Queen site not a cheesy Adam site.[/QUOTE]

But I'm on the QAL part of that Queen site and I think Bri & Roger's opinion of Adam takes precedence over yours.

Change your name as often as you like, I didn't say you shouldn't just remarked how fitting the latest one is. Does puzzle me why someone would want to keep changing usernames though but hey ho like you say it's up to you.

You're on here so why shouldn't anyone else be here too.

As for "your on an official Queen site". No we're not it has no affiliation with Queen or their record company. It's not an official site, if that's what your looking for go to Queen on line but don't expect the freedom of views there that you have here.

Official site or not this is the Queen+AL section. The clue is AL so that is the subject posted here. It's quite simple if you don't like Queen + AL don't bother visiting this section, don't keep drawing comparisons because that just gets people talking about something you don't like.

You made your views clear some years back we know what you think you don't have to keep repeating yourself.

You keep saying people are entitled to their opinions, that's true we all are but if those opinions don't match your own it doesn't make them less valid
