Freddie vs Adam on you tube

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.

you're just a Freddie fanboy, just as worse as Adam Lambert fanboys.

Ok, Icy, the post by Clarity proves my point about Queen fans who think it is ALL about Freddie. Per Clarity, "No one fits Queen other than Freddie because Queen was his creation alone." I am always amazed when die hards say that. I guess they are forgetting Freddie's solo venture, which wasn't all that successful? There was just something about the 4 men together that made it work. Take one of them out of the mix (maybe you could remove John, because somehow he doesn't seem as integral to me), but they would never be the same w/o Brian or Roger. They composed together and worked out songs together and were stellar writers and musicians. I just don't believe it all Freddie's work, but some people do and there are more than one might think. Remarks like this is why I have the perception that the band was basically all about Freddie.

THE IDIOCY! The BLASPHEMY!

It's ALL the "Freddie Section"

He IS and was INSEPARABLE from QUEEN. This is essentially the house that Freddie built. Would've been a Smile forum without it.

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?

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.

Sniflese Get real your on a Queen fan site what do you think we were all going to discuss the price of tampons?
If you want to read nice things about your incompetent karaoke loser then get on to a AL site and wind your neck in.

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.

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!
