Seems that Brian has be swamped with complaints about his precious "little gift from god" hype named Adam Mitchel Lambert, he cannot bare to hear Queen fans slagging him off so he goes to the press and tells them all Adam is king of rock he is super he is even capable of been the next president Trump only fag style lol
Brian is really transparent now we have heard all this shit from his mouth now for 8 years so smell the coffee guys it is a publicity stunt, Freddie was mega brilliant but Brian never ran to the press to tell them how brilliant he was did he!

He posted this yesterday about Freddie but I suppose that's not good enough for you.
Many of you will have already seen this ad. This new version of Freddie’s take on the theme song from Dave Clarke’s 1986 musical of the same name is getting lots of attention. I see people asking why it wasn’t available until now, but of course it was. The original version is still up there on YouTube, with 3.4 million views ! A lot of people are asking us why this release was done in certain ways, but none of our team had anything to with this remake - so we can’t help you ! It’s not a Queen song, so it doesn’t come under our jurisdiction. It’s obviously not a Freddie-penned song either - he got involved as a favour to his close friend Dave Clarke. Being Freddie, he couldn’t (like me, I guess!) half-do it. He plunged in and did a huge production on a rather featureless song, determined to make it into a timeless epic ! Freddie’s production included a big ‘orchestration’, and loads of glorious vocal harmonies, and the original video had him interacting (visually only) with the cast of the musical. None of which you get in this new version, because Dave Clarke has, for this release, smartly lifted Freddie’s lead vocal and placed it alone with a new piano track - played by Mike Moran. So you don’t get Freddie’s production, but what you DO get is Freddie’s lead vocal almost naked, and clear as a bell. And WHAT a vocal - what a voice ! Freddie poured so much passion into it you get the impression he could make you weep singing the phone directory !!! I hope this does well, because Dave Clarke is a very nice man, and was a great friend to Freddie. One thing is for sure - the world has a fierce appetite for Freddie right now. How happy he would be. One more snippet. In the new video you see Freddie miming to the track on stage at the Dominion Theatre - where TIME was then playing in 1986 - the very same stage that WE WILL ROCK YOU the musical later was to rock, 8 shows a week packed out for 13 years. And the core story of that musical was Ben Elton’s magical narrative that Freddie was the key to kids in the future rediscovering Rock and Roll. Well, it seems to be coming true ! Long Live Freddie !! Bri

Seems like Brian has done a U turn from Adam can do this and Adam can do that and MORE to Freddie and "oh he put so much passion into "Time" what a hypocrite Brian really is.
He seems to be trying to cover his past stupid ridiculous comments over now by trying to be nice to OUR Fred.

'because Dave Clarke is a very nice man, and was a great friend to Freddie'
Worth it for this comment. A really nice thing to say because we just don't know.

Do you never get tired of living in your cynical and mistrustful world? No matter what he say's he can't win, there's never any winning with people like you who think there's an ulterior motive for everything. I suppose there was some elaborate and sly reason for his trip to Zanzibar according to you as well.

Rockchic: Brian loves publicity and hype and anything to mention the AL word to get his tickets sold.
If there is money to be made he will spout rubbish to the press and he has become a shrew business man from the timid young guy he was all those years ago, you need to wake up love.

And if they needed hype to sell tickets you may have a point but their USA tour has been sold out pretty much for months, they obviously don't need any help in that direction so he has no reason to be hyping anything at the moment.

I don't mind Adam. He can sing, of course, even if he's not the sort of artist I'd normally listen to (and it's not at all because of his sexuality, I don't care about that).
The point is, neither Roger nor Brian need my permission (or anyone else's, for that matter). People can diss Adam all they want, the fact is he's still more than good enough for the only two people who actually have a say in this.
And yes, in terms of singing Queen stuff on-stage for a full-length tour, Adam can do anything Frederick could, and more. Whether or not he wrote or co-wrote those songs or plays instruments or produces or was there in the trenches is completely irrelevant - they're not hiring him to pen the next 'Bo Rhap', they're hiring him to front and sing, which he does, to a sufficiently high standard that they keep hiring him and promoting him and praising him.
Should Adam ever read this forum, he's unlikely to resign. He's gonna wipe his tears with heaps of hundred-dollar, hundred-pound and hundred-euro notes he's rightfully getting for doing what he loves and doing it right enough that Brian and Roger seem to be satisfied and pleased with his work. While most (not all) of us have never met them and will never meet them, he gets to routinely perform with them, earn good money to do it, make them happy, make himself happy and make thousands of audience members happy.
Even if I hated him (I don't), I'm aware I'm not in a position to judge. He does what he does, does it well, and he deserves to be as famous as he is. He also deserves to be fronting Maylor, as they chose him. Considering they could've head-hunted virtually anybody in the world and they picked him, and considering how good musicians they both are, I think that's as high a compliment as anyone could aspire to. And he's earned it.

You are obviously talking utter crap, have you heard Lambert's thin shrieking voice, he is no showman far from it, and Brian will not shut up hyping him and this has been going on for 8 years now, if Lambert was as good as Brian says he is then nothing would be said as Lambert's voice would sell the tickets alone and not rely on the hype and overkill and May & Taylor to back him up still. Most audiences mainly go to the shows to see Brian & Roger and ignore Adam, but i think fans have a right to let Maylor know that they are disgusted with them picking a cheesy American idol singer as there lead singer what a shock and a huge let down. They still remain a laughing stock and we know they have lost the plot even if they are laughing all the way to the bank with idiots who still go to see them. Queen arguably where a real band 1971 to 1991 end off.

No idea where you're getting your biased info from but it's certainly not reality. You really are making a twit of yourself with every comment.
