"Fans" at q + al us shows

I totally forgot Feel Something, which I loved. That is the one that should have been released, although neither of the others were really released since nothing was sent to radio. I don't understand the whole business model about what he is doing. Why put them out there if you don't send it to radio and you don't realistically expect it to chart and you really aren't worried about it, per Adam. That just does not make the least bit of sense to me. I don't stream and I didn't buy the last two, so I think a lot of his older fans (both in age and how long they have been a fan) didn't much care for the new music (last two songs). There is no way many people are going to hear it the way it was done. I hope the next song will appeal to me more. I would just like to get my hands on a DVD with great sound from this tour! I have that Japanese one from several years ago but the sound is poor and they only sang some of the songs they normally do in the set list. Bummer as it was quite expensive.

I don't think you ever get over a death like that. My Dad died 10 years ago and I still miss talking to him every evening. We are both night owls and always had a little chat late in the evening just to make sure that all was well. Then I could go to bed knowing he was OK. Time makes it better, but it is never all gone, unfortunately.

I am finally getting better and can walk around with no aids, but it still has a way to go. The pain with a knee is indescribable and the PT is the worst of all and I have an extremely high pain tolerance. The worst part is that I need the other one done probably later this year. Not sure I can face that, but I have no choice. I am planning to go and see QAL in Boston on Aug. 4th. It is an outside venue, unfortunately, of about 20,000 but I have seats under some enclosed area, so I just hope it isn't too hot or that it rains, cause that would be a bummer!!

I know you laugh at Caroline about the homophobia but I am convinced that was the case after Idol and Adam has said the same thing. He is very honest and wouldn't say that if it were not true. His whole career was almost sidelined after that AMA performance and that was pure homophobia. 10 years later everything is shown on TV but not in 2009. It is truly amazing how far society has come in 10 years. I think had he picked a regular song, sung it like he did on Idol, then he could have had a huge career. But he is a little left of center and does it his own way and there is nothing wrong with that. At some point you have to be true to yourself, just like with the new music. I can't imagine he ever thought that would be a hit, but it is what he wanted to do. I am just glad he is singing Queen's music because those are my favorite songs that he does. Everybody likes something different!

See? We can actually agree on some things regarding AL.
I truly think Feel Something is his most powerful song to date. No lie, I really like it and how open he was about his depression. I do think it could have been a breakthrough of sorts if it was a single.

I don't think I'm greiving my dad the "right" way. I'm getting help for it though. I sat on one of the old benches in my old neighborhood two days ago, and I shed tears. I miss him, but it was so hard to see him suffer in his last few months. I won't go into that, but I will always miss him.
Ouch what you went through sounds so painful. I hope it won't be uncomfortable for you during the concert. Not sure where you are, but if you are in an area that has those extremely high temps, take care. Take care anyways.
I don't laugh at SweetCaroline's claims of homophobia, but I don't believe it, mainly because she has provided no proof of it. I do think she gave, and obviously still gives excuses for him. I don't think by doing that, helps AL at all.
I know I get mocked for saying this, I think AL sang Save Me very well.

Sorry I was not clear, but my comment was not a slap at AL.

It was a well-deserved slap at SweetCaroline, and was meant to reference this "classic" excuse from SweetCaroline when AL's latest single dropped off the charts:

"That’s because Adam doesn’t have those 13-year-old tweens constantly playing music on their cells like Mendes and BTS have. Competition is tough when you are 37."

Ah right, sorry I hadn't seen that post.

It's true New Eyes and Coming In Hot didn't do well. I stand by what I said.

I don't particularly either but it was the Glambert Grannies, don't think he's even keeping those and no wonder he never says no to Brian & Roger comment I was referring to.

Who honestly gives a fuck who's there. New people discovering the music is not a bad thing.

^^ agreed.

Right on, Makka!

What's wrong with some of you people?

New fans need to discover Freddie Mercury not Adam Lambert.
Freddie is the reason why Queen are the greatest group ever.

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.
