Icy, not trying to be mean or a jerk, but I don't get how someone is still so affected by an event that happened to someone they never knew that many years ago? If that were a friend, I would say, time to get over it and move on. The music lives on, people love it and QAL is a new manifestation of Queen. Living in the past is never a good thing. Doesn't mean you can't love Freddie, but feeling his music should never be played by anyone ever again seems a little much.
YMMV!

Sniflese You seem to have trouble in answering my questions because you know i talk the truth.
No new Lambert fans on here for at least the last year so that must say something of his popularity on Queenzone alone.
You say we should not live in the past but that is entirely how Adam makes his living from the past from Queens music.
He is not clever enough to write his own material and have massive success with it like Freddie did.
Adam is a cheap Z-lister in the music industry and behind all those freaky clothes is a guy who is basically nothing without Queen music to give him that massive boost.
Your still not justified to look down your nose at us Queen fans because Queen made Adam who he is.

Most people are not going to put up with jerks or nastiness. What is the point if posters have to endure being called vile names and seeing how someone they enjoy as an artist is always vilified. Queen has moved on from the original and is now QAL. They have made the band into something different from what it once was (you people always say it is not the same!) He most definitely doesn't write music, but a lot of people don't. He is a tremendous singer, that is his instrument and strength. That is enough for me. He has plenty of things going on and would have found more, if he hadn't been working with Queen. He will always have a great career even without Queen. There are plenty of things that don't involve touring with Queen. He doesn't wear freaky clothes, just some costumes for the show. Freddie's were actually freakier. Adam is always on the list of the top red carpet looks. He is extremely fashion forward. I can look down my nose at anyone who is rude. Has nothing to do with Queen.
Sniflese So at last were getting down to the truth that you think Freddie wore freaky clothes?
You also think Adam would also be offered greater things had he not been approached by Brian May, well you are deranged thinking that.
Adam had not been on the world stages had it not been for Queen and it is Queen that has promoted him for the past ten years without that Adam would be working 9 to 5 somewhere quite boring.
We know you give Freddie very little regard and you think Adam is better well that is your belief but millions upon millions will tell you different lady.

Some of Freddie's fashions in concerts were out there. I have no problem with that, freaky wild clothes are part of a show!! But you people always bring up Adam's costumes and his are not quite as extreme. It seems to be your problem, not mine. Have no clue what Freddie regularly wore, but Adam's are very fashion forward. He always dresses pretty nicely when I see photographs of him. Concert clothes are not normal attire!!
Adam doesn't need to be on world stages. I didn't say that he would have been offered GREATER things than singing with Queen. I doubt anything will top that. I said great things will come his way, meaning nice, good.
Adam would have a career w/o Queen. He toured and earned millions before he hooked up with Queen. He has been on a TV show, doing a movie this year and could sing anywhere in the world. Might not be Queen level, but he would be working and singing. I still think he will wind up with a Broadway show, maybe written for him, since he apparently has had offers. Nope, he wouldn't be working a 9-5 job. Spending as much time with Queen means he puts a lot of things on the back burner, doesn't mean they aren't there. I totally disagree on this one!
I think Freddie was amazing and there will never be another like him. He has had a profound influence on music. But he doesn't fit into the soft spot in my heart, that is where Adam resides. I just love his voice, no matter what he sings. I love him singing with Queen, doesn't mean I can't also love the original.
Millions and millions and millions have seen QAL and almost everyone loves it. You can love two different sides of the coin. I am not one of those all or nothing people.
None of what you are saying about me has any truth to it. See, just assuming things and getting them all wrong!

I wasn't a Freddie fan or a Queen fan before Freddie passed away. That doesn't mean I can't miss what he gave to the world. His talent, creativity and courage means allot to me. You think that's affects me, yes it does but not in the way you think.
No, Q+AL isn't a new manifestation of Queen. Nothing ever could be that way for me. Queen was and always will be Freddie, Brian Roger and John for me.
I have never said Freddie's or Queen's music should never be played again by the way.

Freaky clothes like these?

Since when is white shorts freaky??
You recently posted a link to a pic of AL wearing little clothes which looked to be only shorts to 'prove' AL is a guy in a recent thread. Freddie wearing white shorts is apparently freaky for you. Why? I'm actually going to bump that post of yours from not long ago. Why did you post a pic of AL wearing shorts and then you turn around to say Freddie wearing what he did in the above pic was somehow freaky? There is no difference of what they wore. You try to say Freddie wearing shorts was "freaky" and not long after you posted a pic of AL wearing shorts to prove he was a guy.
What is your issues about Freddie wearing shorts? Especially since you obviously have no issue about AL wearing shorts.
You go for tit for tat versus Freddie and AL. Sometimes it makes you look like a hypocrite and you do things to big up AL at the expense of trying to make Freddie look bad. Seriously, just stop with this sort of thing.

Rockchic No guys on here who like Adam so once again your comment is unjustified.
You're wrong, but hey you know best.
Switched, runner, the usual suspects!! I do have a question tho, Icy. If you don't have a problem with others singing Queen, why does Adam bother you so much? It sure seems like you don't like him doing that, so I assumed that applied to others. Although you didn't mind Nate, Gaga, GM singing one offs. Is it just Adam or who would be OK to sing as a plus one in the very same way they are touring now?
It’s only Adam that bothers these guys because he is so good and has performed with them more than anyone else since Freddie!
Adam has never performed with them completely topless, in short short short white shorts or in a geometric onesie jumpsuit with ballet slippers.

Oh dear. AL has been topless, in fact that recent pic you linked to at the gym looks as if he was wearing no top. But because he didn't perform topless and Freddie did, that is what bothers you, plus the onesie jump suit with ballet slippers somehow bothers you? But why? Why do you hold that against Freddie? Is that you are hoping to make AL seem the better person and performer because he didn't wear short shorts, onesies, ballet slippers onstage?
Thing is, I'm pretty sure if AL did wear short shorts, went bare chested during concerts, you would likely love it. Cause you love what AL wears and you gripe about what Freddie wore.
Come on, sweetcaroline. You are looking silly and a hypocrite right now.

I'm not sure if being bothered is the right way to put it, but if you really want to know how I feel about some things here you go ( sorry for repeating myself but you asked ;-) )
As I've stated before, I think Q+AL shows could be much better if they dug deeper in the catalogue, the gimmicks were not so tacky, and more of Freddie and John were shown.
If I saw Jon Bon Jovi or Bon Jovi cover Queen, I wouldn't like that at all to be blunt. I was shocked when Brian and Roger performed with them in 1994 playing Bon Jovi songs. Brian and Roger playing with Bon Jovi was awful I thought. Hated it then, hate it now. I also hate the Pepsi advert Brian and Roger did with Beyonce, Pink and Britney from a few years back. I think they sold out by doing that. And I actually like some of Beyonce's, Pinks and Britney's music...but that advert was awful. I hate that Brian and Roger performied with Bon Jovi and the Pepsi advert more than you think I hate AL ;-).
Again, I don't hate AL. I'm no Glambert by any means, but I don't hate the guy either. Let's not go down that route again, please.
Sadly you Glambert's can not see that if you strip away Brian and Roger plus the high tech lighting and all the wonderful Queen music what is Adam left with to showcase himself?
Answer sweet f.a !
He becomes a nobody because he has not got an original brilliant back catalogue of music to perform of his own as he can only steel other artists songs to make him look good.
So think again when Mr/Mrs Lambert performs on stage as it is all fancy gimmicks to make him look better than he really is.
Freddie performed at "Live Aid" no lighting gimmicks , nothing to make him look good and he still stole the show performing to the planet, and that is why he is known as "The greatest showman ever"
