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.

Paul is 69 and started at 19, you do the math. Adam may have got known on Idol but he'd been working for ten years prior to that, it's not like he went on the show after singing into a hairbrush for a week.

When Adam tops Freddie's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and gets called the greatest showman ever like Freddie then i will take Adam serious ! Of course i know it will never happen cos Adam is not a genius like Freddie was.

Wait. How the hell did my post for the WWRY video end up here?

Well there's a ton of bands and artists out there who are thought of as brilliant but who have never and probably will never top Bo Rhap or even come close so I'm guessing from your comment you don't take any of them serious either? I personally would find it very unfair to measure other artists by that standard.

In-countable classics? I can't even name more than 3. and trust me i've actually listened to actually good rock bands

When Freddie joined the band, he had no credibility, when they recorded their first album as a new band the name Queen meant nothing and had no credibility. . ,

They built there own platform and became huge. Lambert is way past the point of being unknown and having no credibility, as a live performer touring with and fronting Queen he has 7 years expereance. . . And is doing a great job for the people who want to see Queen performing. Back in the 70's 7 years of touring put the band around 78/79. The Jazz tour. Runner _70 would have you believe that at that point Queen had no credibility as a live band

Don#t hold your breath. After QAL is over which is about to be very soon he will be back to divebars and Cruiseships

You compare apples with oranges you stupid cunt. Freddie was always a one off and credible because he earned his laurels by working hard as a creative person being a songwirter and singer. Lametrud has a flop solo career behind him. His exposure thru QAL leads to nothing as pple wanna see Maylor and see Lamebutt as necessary evil. Freddie never ACTED like this huge rockstar he WAS a huge Rock star. LameAss is a dance artist who can screech hih notes but has an annoying power and emotionless voice. Everythiong about him screams fake. And QAL is a Coverband at best. So ho can you compare it with the 21 year reign of Queen ????

Why that you stupid fuck??? He came to the band and showed them how to write songs. Without Freddie Maylor would be unknown today. So why did he have no credibility? He was an artist and a songwriter b4 he joined Queen. Lamebird is a coversinger. Now tell me who has more credibility you POS

Vocal Harmony You are such a nutter. Freddie was Queen he was the band, the clothes the music the lighting and the style of Queen, he guided the other three band members to stardom
and success. Without Freddie, May & Taylor would not have made it as big as they did.
