Queen + Adam Lambert review Los Angeles July 20th 2019

Looking at this video Adam seems to forget some of the words to Machines. (Even Freddie did that on occasion.) More seriously Machines is missing so much of the original, including some fine guitar.

Yeah he does but to be fair it's a difficult song to sing. The lyrics are like George Lucas' dialogue in Star Wars. Looks okay on paper but hard to verbalise.

In IWIA Brian shows he still has some chops. Nice divebomb in the solo. Not hard to pull off normally, but his timing is excellent.

Another oops. ;)

Embarrassing - not only that he forgot the lyrics. Just look at this ,,,,thing

I agree almost entirely with the review. They are putting a great show, better than the one I saw by them in 80 despite my preference for Freddie over anyone. I saw them last night in Nashville and one of the best shows I have seen, and I was around in the 60s and 70s and saw the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, etc. The artful presentation, the unbelievable special effects, the astonishing guitar playing by Brian, the almost perfect pacing, and a wonderful setlist that doesn't pander to the American crowd (some deep cuts and several international hits that weren't hits in the US). No one can replace Adam and there will always be a backlash against anyone who tries, but Adam definitely has some highlights in his performance as well. Bravo!

Quit looking! Might be better for your blood pressure!

That was obviously meant to say Freddie and just a mix up, but then you knew that really.

The line "better than with Freddie" does not appear anywhere in gandorb's post.

He is talking about the show not individual vocal performances and he also says his preference is Freddie.

Maybe you should read what's written, try to understand what's written and answer what's written. I can't work out if you choose not to understand, you don't understand or you're just an idiot.

I definitely meant to say no one can replace Freddie! Obviously, people could try to replace Adam but I am sure that person would get just as slammed if not more.

And yes Holly, I did see the Beatles. My family was vacationing in Rome in 1965, and took me (I was7) to see them in some theatre there. One of my biggest memories of the show was just how piercing the screaming was. At one point, I screamed too and then was freaked out because I couldn't hear my scream.
