Freddie was never the whole of the show ,Roger would have his Drum solo and Brian had and still does his fifteen minute Guitar solo.Some fans went for a hot dog when the solo's were done,but I found them interesting and it obviously gave Freddie time to recover for the second part of the show.

Sorry for that a glitch in the system.

A 10 minutes guitar solo is obligatory in a live rock show.
Last night my son was here and I played Adam’s “Blue Suede Shoes” from the Elvis Special last Sunday. He had missed seeing it. He again compared Adam to a Lamborghini for his smooth, seamless performance and he still thinks Freddie is like a revved up Corvette!

It's pretty bad but yet funny as hell when one has to repeat what a son said about AL to try to big him up. How many times have you posted that your son thinks AL is a Lamborghini and Freddie is like a Corvette? You might as well get him to post on Queen boards.

Sweetcaroline is no Queen fan, so I doubt she knows about Brian's and Roger's solos. She said it herself, she thinks Freddie was the whole show which isn't true.
I really liked the solos back in the day. I liked it better then and with Q+PR better than I do in recent years that's for sure **ducks**
In the seventies people went to see Queen rock live, not Freddie hitting A4s
Of course You do, but don't have to duck as you are entitled to that opinion. I am sure it was so much better with QPR, but if it was a solo, doesn't make much sense to me as a solo is a solo. When Brian sits on the stage with QAL he is interacting by himself with the audience and I just can't imagine how it would be any different from previously (except Adam didn't sing with them then and even when he is off stage, I guess the show is tainted for you).
You are really mean to Caroline for no good reason. I am sure she knows about the solos. Brian and Roger each sing solos during the QAL show. Sounds like she has seen enough old videos that she knows what they did back in the day. Since you two are huge Freddie fans, you probably never noticed how much about Freddie the old shows were. He was the show and all eyes were on him, partly because he is just charismatic, but also because he didn't interact much with the other three. For people who take an interest in the other members on the stage, it is quite noticeable. You guys only had eyes for Freddie and obviously don't revere the others like you do Freddie, so you are pretty blind to that. People see what they want to see but for me Freddie was always the focal point of attention.
Good thing, since Freddie didn't always hit those notes live!!

As if those A4s were everything. It wasn't. Take Rainbow for example, Freddie and the guys had quality then.
Freddie never hit the high notes all the time but that is because he was very energetic on stage and needed the energy to run about the stage, and gruelling tours took its toll on throat nodules.
He was a very hard working front man.
Freddie did make a Queen show dynamic he was the energy and the excitement of the shows arguably.

Thanks, snifflese, I am not reading you know who’s ridiculous posts. Unlike some Queen fans, I have never left my seat during the Brian and Roger solos. In the recent tour, Brian was literally in outer space both physically and in his spectacular performance! Their solos have nothing to do with Adam but when the 3 of them (4 of them with Neil during UP) are on the B stage down in the audience, their interaction with each other is magical, much like it was with Freddie and Brian when they performed LOML together!

Q+PR was more rock than Q+AL was and at this point I dare say Q+AL ever could be. I do feel the solos worked better for Q+PR than it does for Q+AL. I'm truly not having a go, but I do feel it's somewhat out of place in Q+AL shows, especially without DOOL.
Sweetcaroline has also been mean to me, but that's okay for you cause no matter what she has done and will do, not only are you on her side, you will take her side. The last couple of days you are mad/upset with me, because you didn't get what was obviously a moment and my reply to it was a joke. You thought a joke wasn't fair to AL and his fans. Boo hoo.
