Brian May replies to fans slagging off Adam Lambert.

Rockchic Brian says Adam can do everything Freddie could do and MORE........What is the more bit then?

Lambert's voice is thin, harsh, and grating.

Roger Taylor could also sing higher than Freddie. So Taylor was more consistent than Mercury in that way too. So what? Does it mean that Taylor or Lambert are better singers overall? No, far from it.

May is wrong though.

Lambert's range doesn't go as low as Mercury's.

Lambert cannot play piano. He can't write songs that come anywhere close to Freddie's.

He's nowhere near on the same level as a front-man, despite what May says (how many people come away from them shows saying "He's no Freddie"). His voice is thin and shitty sounding in comparison.

But whatever, May's happy to shit all over Freddie if it means promoting tacky crap.

Freddie is a legend lets get that straight, Adam is not. Brian hypes Adam at every opportunity he gets and we all know this is a publicity stunt.
Many Many Queen fans have told him Lambert is no where near as dynamic as Freddie and Brian does not like to hear the truth.
I still believe on some level he was so jealous of Freddie getting the most attention in Queen, and having the most success with his song writing.

Day drop I agree with your post, spot on.

Brian is in marketing mode. And he's not fabricating at all.

Obviously he's talking about Freddie and Adam in the LIVE environment, not in the studio. This should be a given considering the only work he and Roger have ever done with the latter is LIVE work.

He's talking about Lambert's voice. Not creativity or showmanship. He has made this clear numerous times.

Apart from much of the 79-82 era, he's basically right - Lambert is the more consistent and disciplined live singer.

And if anyone has listened to more than the officially released live albums, they'd know that.

This demented troll is right, this time. Must have been the medicine working on him

Wow, don't let facts get in the way of having a bitchfest about Adam again will ya, confirmation bias is alive and well I see.

Wow. Nice trolling there.

I think it's blatantly obvious Brian is referring to Adam's LIVE SINGING abilities, not overall talent or some other crap.

He can hit the high notes on every single Queen song live, which Freddie rarely did, and he does it consistently over the course of a tour. That's a fact. I don't know what the big deal is.
This doesn't negate any of Freddie's skills or his legacy.

If you don't like the sound of his voice or his style or whatever, then so be it, but I think it's been proven -over and over- for 7-8 years now that Adam is a good fit for a Queen singer. I've seen them live 9 times in the U.S. and the audience just LOVES him.
On the other hand, I saw Brian and Roger 5 times with Paul: 4 of them in Europe, where nobody gave a crap about Paul and once in the U.S., where it was a more varied crowd and they responded better to Paul.
Still, nowhere near the good response that I saw in every single Q+AL show.

Could it be everyone is right? If I was still 15, I’d agree, Brian is a total douchebag dissing Freddie... everyone is hotheaded when they’re young and immature. But now I’m 35, and I think Brian’s comments are spot on. Actually the Wizard said it best from my point of view, today.

With maturity, we learn how to understand Brian’s comments without distorting his intent. He never said Adam is better than Freddie. Nor did he say Adam is as good as Freddie. He meant Adam can handle the duties just as Freddie did. Whereas Paul Rodgers, who is CLEARLY a better vocalist than Adam Lambert, could not.

*sigh* *shakes head*

This thread was started by the narrowest of minds trying to present a broad view of dislike towards a member of the band he claims to be a fan of.

Again providing no proof was his only proof. Yet again jumping in a shallow puddle of an unfounded version of a perverse reality that feeds his mind.

He repeatedly covers the same subject, gaining no respect and showing little understanding of the subject he preaches. What is worse is that he sees fit to argue with the person who presented the article from which he based his "lesson" then argued with people far more knowledgeable then he.

Again he has learned nothing, again he has faced reality with closed eyes and ears.

The Circle of Eidolon has one question. . . . That is. Inspired, by what?

While you splash in your puddle you will not see the incoming deep tide of reality that will wash over you. . It will be at that point you realise that you "inspired" can not swim.

The Circle of Eidolon has spoken. . .

May didn't merely say "high the hit notes", he said Lambert can do the stuff that Mercury did and more. T

Well no. He can't. as has already been pointed out on this thread.

He might be able to sing almost as high as Roger Taylor could.

He might be able to hit the high notes that Roger Taylor could when he was younger though.
