Good read! and good work as always!
I never paid much attention to the people singing the chorus. I always thought it was just Fredward, I will listen closely to see if I can pick out Roger!

I do . Especially if some of those people think AL has replaced Freddie, and that AL is the better singer and performer.
I have read posts on both Queen boards the coronet that AL wears is Brian passing the torch to AL. Truly, that is what someone had the audacity to say. Of course it's a mega Glambert who said that.

@ironbutterfly Adam would be the first person to say that he is not replacing Freddie.

Yes he does, and credit to him for that. Pity some of the Glamberts think otherwise.

You must mean Fredwardthy.
They blend so well you can kinda lean toward one or another for the bits. Kinda interesting that there's no conclusiveness about John Deacon participating.
Gotta ask John, it would seem.
I always laugh at the video. John seems to be staggered by a clap ....OR SOMETHING at the beginning.
He's not with lengthy hair so i don't believe he was tossing hair from his face. It's just such an awkward thing that's forever there

UPDATE***!
SUNNIVABITCH! IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE!
Has QPL reedited the music video and gotten rid of it? I seem to notice a portion of it reintroduced briefly later. But John clearly had an awkward moment and twitched his head rapidly and blinked in the promo video
Don't give me that "Mandela Effect" stuff. ...IT WAS THERE! I've gotta investigate once time and space permit.

So let them think what they want. Would we all be here saying the same things if Paul had of continued singing? Those of us who have worshipped this band since the 70's know who is the better performer and who wrote those songs. Brian & Roger are near the end of their careers and AL will suddenly find himself back to doing solo work and then vanish into obscurity. We all know this is not Queen and a lot of people are horrified that AL is associated with that brand but as I said before, new people discovering this great music is not a bad thing. It's great that the music is being kept alive and it's great to see Brian & Roger enjoying their later years playing the music they helped create which some people on here seem to think they don't have a right to do.

When stupid mistakes are made such as what was assumed what was worn at Live Aid, especially since the information is right there at a person's fingertips, there is no excuse. I took the time and effort and a good bit of money in being a Queen fan since 1992. With the internet there really is no excuse to not knowing the basics. I don't expect the AL fans that post here not to know everything, but man, I wish at least the basics were known since some AL fans post here.
No excuse for some of AL's fans to say AL has replaced Freddie, is better than Freddie, and on Queen boards no less.
As for Paul at least the man had credblity. Q+PR was more of a rock show than Q+AL could ever hope to be. To me, Q+AL is relying on gimmicks far too much, too often these last few years.
Freddie and Queen deserve their legacy. That's their blood, sweat and tears that made Queen what they were, and always will be. AL has been riding on those coattails for years now. I don't think there is any need of Brian to say AL can do what Freddie couldn’t. That's hyperbole to the extreme. And some AL fans lap up what Brian and Roger say about AL.

No wonder Brian say's the things he does when he reads stuff like you just wrote. Paul had credibility (why does he and not Adam) because that's exactly what Brian would be asking?
So one motorbike and sitting on a piano means the show is FULL of gimmicks? There's less now than in previous shows. Incidentally I'll bet Judas Priest fans don't call it a gimmick when Rob brings his Harley D on stage.
How is Adam (who was asked, he didn't force them to tour with him) riding coat tails when they wouldn't be able to tour without him, he's as much a part of the show as they are and the whole thing is only possible if you have a singer. He puts work into the shows just like they do, he's out there singing at a top level night after night, that's called being part of a band and for the tours that's what he is he's not just some hired hand who turns up 5 minutes before the show and wings it.
As to the fans who say he's better, so what, I don't agree but then I'm a Queen fan since the early 70's, I grew up listening to Queen with Freddie but for some of Adam's fans they only heard of Queen through him, they're already die hard Adam fans just like you're a die hard Freddie fan. The majority aren't gonna suddenly prefer Freddie to Adam just like Queen fans aren't gonna prefer Adam to Freddie. People like what they like, it's not gonna change their legacy in the slightest.

Paul had credibilty as he has/had an amazing career as a rock Musician and various incountable Classics in his portfolio. He was the main part in Free and Bad Company. Lameturd is a dance artist pretending to be a rocker. He has zero credibility in rock music . He is a manufactured casting muppet who has never written a song on his own. And you really dare to ask why he has no credibilty?????

What did I say that was so "bad"? Paul Rodgers had...and still has more credblity than AL. ever could hope for. His back catalogue speaks for itself.
I truly either Q+AL didn't rely on gimmicks. At least with Q+PR there wasn't any gimmicks, it was about the music.
How is AL riding on coattails? It seems with his own solo music and solo appearances he manages to usually fit in a cover of a Queen song. That private event, yep Queen covers. American Idol...yep Queen cover. The GMA set, yep you guessed it, Queen cover.
I don't mind the AL fans who are now Queen fans because of these tours. What I do mind is the people who think AL is the lead singer for Queen, has replaced Freddie, Brian passing the torch to AL. It's bullshit that I've seen on Queen boards for years now.

Paul Rodgers was 54 when he started touring with Bri & Roger, plenty time to build up a legacy, he'd been in the business professionally since he was 19. Adam had been in the business (actually known about) for less than 3 years when he started working with Bri & Roger, to put that in context how much of legacy had Queen built up in three years? Their first album was released three years after forming the band and the single KYA did poorly, it wasn't until KQ that they made their mark. Comparing the fact that they were a band working hard on their music constantly, touring then recording while Adam has been pretty much touring constantly with them (albeit with breaks in between) since 2014 it's not surprising he hasn't got the legacy of someone like Paul Rodgers or Queen but that doesn't mean he has no credibility, they are separate things.
So what if he sings Queen songs in his solo appearances, he's touring with Queen so why not promote it, there's plenty bands/artists out there doing Queen songs in their solo sets (Westlife, Tom Chaplin, PATD, The Foo's et al) people love Queen music so why not, just because he sings with them gives him less right than anyone else to sing their music outside of with them? That makes no sense whatsoever.
The gimmicks (of which there are two if you can even count sitting on a piano) make people laugh, they enjoy it and what about people like Lady GaGa and Pink and if we're gonna talk real gimmicks how about Alice Cooper? If that's how QAL want to do their shows who's to say they're wrong, anyone not liking it is free to not go.
Adam himself say's he's not part of Queen, he's not responsible for what a few of his fans think. End of the day regardless what he calls himself (guest singer) is how he described himself recently there's no question Brian & Roger consider him an equal part of their touring show and they and the fans are having a blast.
