It’s easy: at least 90% of the people at these gigs don‘t know the song. It hasn’t even been a single like It’s Late or Spread your Wings. You must know Queen‘s back catalogue to even know it.
It’s also not an upbeat, dancy type song. So the vast majority of people just doesn’t care enough. And I‘m with them. They should have played The Invisible Man instead.

Yeah I did think it was a really odd choice tbh, if they were gonna throw a deeper cut in there's one's that would likely have worked better I imagine.

Maybe anyone liking Machines could go and mention on Brian and Roger's instagram's might give them food for thought.[/QUOTE]
I know a few people have already tweeted Brian about it. Not sure if it will work, IL and SYW wasn't returned to set list, and I doubt Machines will be. [/QUOTE]
Yeah you're probably right, I suspect it's gone for good.

Actually...the song I always held out hope for and that most people know was Flash's Theme.
I think it would go down a storm. It would be a great song to begin an encore with.[/QUOTE]
Yeah they used it as the opener on the 2016 tour I think.

I was sure Machines would last because of the cool image of Freddie being projected. I wonder if Brian thought that takes away from Freddie’s “appearance” in LOML. I just thought it was cool to have something different and powerful in that slot. It fit in nicely after Bicycle Race and AOBTD before they go into I Want It All.

You are contradicting yourself. On QOL you said if Machines was dropped because of an infringement about Freddie’s image, but here you say that if if the image takes away from LOML. I don't think that's the cases at all. I think the newer Queen fans aren't so aware of it.
I wish Brian and Roger were more open about the songs they decide to play, and why some are dropped.

It was well received in Boston. Nobody sat down and even tho they didn't know the words, they loudly sang Machines when it came up in the song. and were dancing to it. Hope it comes back, a fav of mine now! The green lights that accompanied it were really cool too. The whole look of it with the graphics was kind of different! Hope it will be back for you CNB!

When QAL is gone, these forums will shrivel up to zero participation. When he was on Idol, Adam’s thread had the most activity, both pro and con. Just seems to be the nature of the “beast.”

That's unlikely Caroline. Very unlikely.

I think Queen will live on in popular culture long after Adam Lambert is long gone and forgotten.
Just a hunch.
Forums like these re a dying breed regardless of the subject matter, tbh.
