Nice .....

“I'll be honest, I've NEVER heard @adamlambert front for @QueenWillRock until tonight's #Queen documentary on ABC because I never wanted to hear anyone but Freddie sing those songs but @DrBrianMay & @OfficialRMT chose VERY wisely!”

One of your mental homes Friends posting or one of your multiple accounts?

Nobody I know. Just came up on my twitter feed. It is gratifying to see people who are seeing Adam for the first time responding so positively to him.

As I’ve been saying for 10 years, to see him, especially live, is to love him! Period!

When i see him i am about to throw up and cover my ears as soon as I can

Another interesting tweet:

“Just an FYI re SMGO telecast. i've worked on many Music Documentary Specials which have aired on major networks and they usually don't do fantastic in ratings especially against recurring hit series. That said 5.61 million is a huge number for a music documentary - HUGE.”

Masses are asses sometimes. In QAL's case most certainly

For all the haters out there: Listen to Roger. He tells it, how he and many fans feel. If you don’t like it: fine. But don‘t come. The same rule should apply for this section of the forum.

"We're not trying to recreate our dear Freddie. So if people do think that, I have no patience with them, please don't come, but if you just want to enjoy our music done really well, please do come. Comparisons with Freddie are wasting time. You just have to cope with it, because people are so fucking unimaginative. I mean, you know, Fred's dead. And he's not gonna be there. So if you come to see us, you're not gonna see him!"
- Roger Taylor

I think a lot of people on Queenzone need to think about this long and hard, no matter if you like Adam Lambert or not. It's fucking hard to stand in for Freddie Mercury. And he certainly ain't no Freddie. But of course he isn't. *Nobody* can match Freddie Mercury. But there's nobody else Queen could possibly collaborate with excluding Marc Martel (and Marc would only be the best choice if Adam left really, because Adam's name alone sells tickets to younger, non-queen audiences - gotta think about the money!)
They have to continue touring. They've lasted this long, why not continue it?

He comes across as if he wants to apologize what they do. And he is fucking arrogant when it comes to tribute bands - Cruise ship? That is where his current pop crooner is ending soon.
He is drumming for a tribute band right now. Twat

You really aren't great at reading between lines are you? They've had nothing but Martel fans trolling their social media accounts ever since the movie insisting they should be touring with Marc, they should give the fans what they want and replace Adam with Marc, all Queen fans want Marc etc etc, this is Roger's way of saying no fucking chance forget it without actually naming the guy. He's not apologizing for what they do he's saying this is our decision, if you like if fine if not don't come, simple, we aren't about to change our mind. I don't think the tribute band part was aimed at Marc though, he initially set up the QEX because of all the tribute bands out there who dress up like Freddie and use a half mic stand etc, he really seems to have a downer on them for some reason.

And seriously you really are quite nuts if you think Adam will be ending up on a cruise ship or some other similar type thing.

Lamebird's career depends to 100% on the two old ex legends. Onece QAL is over his career will be as well. His solo career flopped. See his last song that went nowhere despite the QAL promo. Noone gives a shit about him

Well we'll see won't we in time but Adam gets offered lots of projects outside of Queen so even if you're right about his solo music he'll still be offered other things, his name is out there and not just relating to Queen, a lot of the media attention he gets never even mentions the Queen association, it's not like he wasn't already known before collaborating with them. And you well know his last single wasn't an offical release, wasn't promoted or expected to get radio play, it was just for the fans and according to what he said at the time it was the only song like that on the album so I suspect he didn't release it officially as he's going in a different direction with the rest of the music.

In the future will be the last alive to tell the story of Queen first hand, he will be like Sam Jones and Flash Gordon.
He will go touring arenas playing Queen songs long after Brian and Roger die. he will do the fan meetings and Queen conventions, etc.
Adam will be forever linked with Queen, wheter we like it or not.

We will see him in a couple of cruise ships for sure

I doubt the guy could fill arenas by himself.
So you think he can keep on riding the Queen coattails after Brian and Roger are no longer here.
Some things are not his place for him to talk about Queen and it's members. He already stuck his nose and being very condictrad about Freddie's sexuality. If Brian and passes away, would he do that regarding Brian and Roger personal lives as well? Please no. He isn't the holy Grail of Queen knowledge anyways.
Keep him away from Queen meetings and coventions.
He really should focus on his own music, unless he wants to make money the easy way by singing others people's songs.
He has very little artistic vision of his own frankly.
