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.”

Social media has much to do with forums not being as popular as it once was. I remember joining QOL and QZ and being thrilled to find and get to know so many Queen fans, and learn about Queen. It was incredible. And it still can be incredible.
But to say after Q+AL this shrivel up with zero participation, well I think you are wrong. Of vourse you aren't a Queen fan, so unless you want to fit AL in everywhere you can think of ( and let's be honest, you have done that before ) I don't think these Queen boards will die out. People still love Queen and Freddie and because of the biopic they have countless new fans.

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.

I wonder what the Glamberts think Brian and Roger did before Q+AL started? You and I both know it wasn't like they sat on their asses doing nothing.
Queen's music will live on for decades yet. I can't say the same about Lambert or Q+AL.

Thing is: When QAL is over, Brian and Roger will most likely stop touring or even stop playing music. At least one of them. In this way, Queen will be over.

The music will live on, but there won’t be much to talk about after a couple of years.

From the concert on Brian’s birthday:
The crowd sang „Happy birthday“ to Brian.
His reaction: „Thank you, I will remember that forever.“
Roger‘s sarcastic answer: „Your forever might not be that long.“

Unfortunately our heroes don’t get younger. :/

Lambert is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Get with the programme people!

We will see who people are talking about in the future. I have a pretty good idea it will be Freddie and Queen and not AL.

Talking about Queen & Freddie: yes, but less and less. The music will survive though. This forum not.

What will happen to Adam Lambert? We will see. He is going to sing. How successful? Nobody knows.

How do you come to that conclusion that people will talk about Queen and Freddie less and less? They were groundbreaking, they deserve the title as legends. All these years after Freddie passed away, he and Queen's music is still being discussed, purchased, played etc.
If AL continues to sing, I'm sure there will be plenty of covers. That's what he is known for, even more than his own music.

It is, because Brian, Roger and Jim Beach did everything to keep Queen alive. Jim (or someone close to the band) told about that in the recent documentary. When they will be gone, that will stop.

People tend to talk less and less about artists, that aren’t in the media. Elvis, Michael Jackson. They were all over the media once.
MJ was a huge superstar during my youth. But my kids don’t know him.

The music of all these artists will never go entirely away, but the kids will follow other artists, that are en vogue. Like Queen now, because of the movie.

Wait until “Velvet” comes out! He will take the world by storm! LOLOLOL

Sure he will. And I'm a Glambert just like you.
^I think not.
LOLOL...jokes gonna be on you I think. You are living in lala land. Even singing Queen covers for years with Brian and Roger hasn't made the guy sell millions of records, get armful of awards. You know the millions of records that you bitch about Sam and Adele selling, and their awards. Clearly you want that for Lambert. I think you need that for Lambert, so you can brag and crow and say you were always right. Thing is, the more he puts Q+AL before his own solo music, it's going to be tougher for him. It already is.
I get that you hope for the best for AL, I do think he would be lucky at this point he had one hit from Velvet. New Eyes and Coming In Hot were not hits. Do you know something that the rest of dont, or are you just wishing here.

Sam and Adele are done! Adam is the energizer bunny! That should be good for another 3 pages on the St. Paul concert thread!

How are Sam and Adele 'done'? Are you going to be baiting and bitching about them again.
AL would have much of a career if not for the Queen legacy. Think about that before you say other artists are done.

Good news: Carol is offering her "opinion" on QZ for once ...

Bad news: Carol can only write her "opinion" on QZ while acting as a wind up merchant.
