Freddie is more than honored and remembered in the new Rhapsody concert. They have even figured out how to make it look like he is standing on the stage singing his Ay Oh call and response.
There is something for everyone — diehard Queen fans, Adam fans and new Queen fans! Go to a show when it comes your way. You will love it!
Snifflese There are plenty of Queen tribute bands on the planet keeping Queen's music alive and in fact who do a better job at it than Adam does.
Obviously when you hear a Queen song you automatically think of Freddie, but you seem to think people don't as they only go for a night out, quite a sad assumption i think.
Adam would not have a job in Queen if Freddie was still here so get down from your high horse, Freddie & the band wrote the hits and Adam is just singing them. After all this time Lambert is still telling audiences he is not Freddie, well he must feel really guilty been on that stage because he still knows an awful lot of people still do not like him fronting Queen. What has happened to his album and single then as it never set the charts alight over here in the UK ?

He doesn't feel guilty he just likes to honor Freddie and make sure the audience know he's not trying to replace him and despite what you think there's plenty people do like him singing with the band.
Bit hard to set the charts alight without being released yet his single is being released on the 4th Sept and side A of the album on 28th Sept.

From mydailyrecord.com:
“(Queen)”-this band is back with a vengeance.
Adam is incredible, and his beautiful voice and rock star stage presence are exactly what’s needed when filling such big shoes.”
That says it all !!![/QUOTE]
That says what? That one retarded Blind and deaf person is falling for that cheap ladyboy Lameturd? He neither as a beautiful voice and he surely ain't rock star. End of dicussion. ANy serious rockmusic lover laughs about this collaboration. Most folks tolerate him because they havent seen Maylor together. But Lameturd on his own is a huge flop

Miracle, I can appreciate your viewpoint, but Freddie has now been gone since 1991. I bet the majority of people who go to the concerts had never seen a concert with him as the frontman, so you can't expect them to feel as you do. He isn't uppermost in their minds more than likely. For old Queen fans that statement does not apply! But for others, they are going to a concert to hear Queen's music. They aren't thinking of Freddie and what he brought to the band necessarily. They are going for a night out and just to enjoy the great singing of the Queen catalog, the neat visuals and to have a wonderful concert experience and QAL fits the bill. Freddie had some gimmicks when he was carried in on stage and those outfits, my goodness. You also can't compare what was done back then to what is possible now. People expect some gimmicks. Think of Lady GaGa and Pink and all those concerts with a stage full of dancers. Expectations are different now and Killer Queen and the Bicycle song are what many fans wait for. In the context of the show it is a lighthearted, campy section and fans love it.
I also believe Freddie was not the only Queen member and less than half the songs in this current show were written by him, but rather the other 3 members, who aren't exactly chopped liver themselves. No one can replace Brian and his fantastic guitar skills, nor Roger's drumming and unique voice .It wasn't just Freddie then and it certainly isn't just Freddie now. People have to move on with the times and appreciate what is possible today. QAL is keeping the music alive for tons of new fans. I couldn't believe how many young fans and kids were at the show who are going to always remember the concert and love Queen music. If they didn't keep playing, the music would grow stagnant. Music has to be played to remain alive. You guys really seem to miss that important detail. If it is not played, it goes away![/QUOTE]
IF you talk about Queen first thing in mind is one person. Freddie. I know you hate him - and you do it publicly on a Queen forum. Proves you have smoked too much crack. Maybe that's why you like this cheap tribute combo so much. Fuck off from here for good you have no clue about Queen and Freddie. Only of your fellow asscunt Lamebird who you are lusting for and because of him you are jealous of Freddie. FUck off to you Glamtard forums and never enter a Queen forum again you laughing stock

Good point. His staged banter is used almost as an excuse. SO is MAy's "Freddie would have loved it" crap. They are completely aware of this being shit in comparison with QUeen but they lie to themselves and try to hide this with their stupid promo messages

Mark my words - his album (Why does he release different sides???? I am sure the record company does not even sell physical copies after the first singles flopped big time)and single will flop again despite the HUGE promo and praise he gets from the two pensioners

Lots of artists are releasing album sides separately and releasing a few singles off an album first now, probably to keep interest going since the way music is consumed now is very different and it's mostly about streaming. The album is being released in physical format, the single probably not since it's on the album anyway. Artists with huge amounts of followers can pretty much guarantee a hit just through sheer numbers even if they all just stream it once, far harder when you don't already have that amount of followers so I wouldn't expect it be a major hit tbh.
YOu can twist it and turn it as often as you want-Lamebird has no solo career anymore. OUtside QAL noone gives a shit about hum . Weak songs weak voice. In QAL at least the songs are good /(even though he destroys them with his annoying voice). Onec QAL is over so is Lamebird. His career is depending on Maylor and (ESPECIALLY) Freddie. Sad but true
Rockchic Going by past efforts here in the UK Lambert has flopped big time with albums and singles so do not get excited about his new releases because once the record company discover no ones buying he will yet again lose another record label.
I look forward to this car crash.
Runner70 and i will have a ball lol

I'm not getting excited, I'm more interested in him with Queen than solo tbh, quite a bit of his own music is not really my thing, especially the new stuff but I do wish him success with whatever he chooses to do cause he's a nice guy and talented even when not doing stuff I personally love.
If you're measuring success and flops by chart numbers this should clarify his album situation though, bearing in mind he's American so he charts higher in the US than UK.
And he can't lose a record label since he doesn't have one he's independent now and the company is used only for distribution purposes, he and his management are in complete control of how he does things.

IMO the mistake Adam makes in his solo albums is using explicit language. Queen proved you don’t need the “a,” “s,” and “f” words to have a hit. I don’t understand why he continues to do that and then has to change the words when he performs the songs live. To me that is a lack of vocabulary and is totally unnecessary! Also, it limits your audience. Little kids and even teens are attracted to catchy lyrics, not controversial ones. My grandkids loved the “Old Town” song this summer and it has won awards.
Looks like the new song will be the same and the few lines he has thrown out look insipid to say the least. I don't understand how such a smart man can be so clueless as to what is going to appeal to the masses and his own fans. I do realize artistic integrity and all that, but bottom line is you want your songs to sell and have people like and buy it. You need to balance artistry and mass appeal. You can't tell me that is not part of the equation. After all who wants to put out music that doesn't resonate with people? A lot of his old fans are less than thrilled with the last 2 songs. The vibe and the look were so off. He missed a huge advertising opportunity that he had on GMA and Idol with his look (that horrible longish hair) and the songs themselves. I realize I am older and I might not be the target group (ya' think??), but I played it for my son in his 30's, who is home for the holidays and has always liked Adam. He just shook his head!
I realize Adam has eclectic tastes and most of the songs he tweets out are not what I would ever listen to, but unless you want to be in a really small niche (which I don't think he wants to do), you can't put out music like he does. He needs to find someone other than his friends, who maybe are like him, to write some music that will appeal to more people. I have liked some of his songs in the past and I always buy his music and just listen for the voice, but the new trend isn't something I enjoy at all. He gets the most acclaim from singing songs and covers like Believe, Girl Crush, Stay and, of course, Queen's music. None of his music is like that, so he doesn't seem to get the big picture. I would much prefer a CD of covers, and I hate to say that, as he is my fav singer of all time, but I just wonder about his choice of what he is singing. It really pains me to say that! I guess the new song is an empowerment song, which is another thing I am so over. Born This Way was the first and last song in that category that I loved. So far none of the new songs sound at all like they were influenced by Queen. i loved the first one but the dynamics were not there musically. My son said it was really boring and that is something no one wants their song to be. I am still hoping for the best, but Adam needs some new song consultants if he really wants to put out some Kick Butt music that is going to resonate. If that is not his plan, he is on his way! That said, I have my fingers crossed for SuperPower, but I don't know!
Hah surprise surprise. What does that tell you when even the most delusional Glamtarts on QZ hate the new stuff Lamebird is releasing? It surely is not because of foul language or looks. Why does Slipknot have a Nr 1 album around the world wearing sick masks and using foul language throughout. Lemabird is lost without Maylor. He is no musician. He cannot write songs. And he is using the wrong songwriters. He is getting so much promo with QAL, if he was a credible artist he would be all over the place solo too. If Maylor drop him, which will be soon due to their age - he is back to gay clubs and cruise ships playing in front of 20 drunk people.
Unlike you, I can be honest, which I always am. It has nothing to do with 4 letter words, but the type of songs he sings just don't seem to resonate and I have never said anything else. I like him best singing Queen which is what I have always maintained. Adam is a world class vocalist, but not much of a song writer and not really great at picking songs to release. By the way he has been all over the place singing at important events. He can do many, many things as a gifted vocalist, just not be a pop star. Nothing wrong with that!
He is never going to be reduced to singing cruise ships, etc, now that is just plain nonsense! He may just grow up a little as to what he can and should be singing at this point in his life. Or he may just go on as he is and doing his own thing which has been working well for him up to this point. It is totally his choice. But what he won't be doing, is being a silly little keyboard warrior that has such a sad life he is reduced to writing dirty posts saying abominable things about an artist and other posters. Now that is really sad!
