I should think he's talking about the arguing since Lambert started singing for Queen+. I doubt he rates Queen+ AL much, but he also strikes me as someone who'd be polite about it, even if he doesn't rate it. Has he ever mentioned Queen+ AL?

Yep he has - http://youtu.be/AB7r2I4UBS8?t=4711

As I guessed he would be.... polite /. diplomatic. "There are certain voices types that I like, and certain voice types that I don't like" etc...

Guessing you didn't bother listening to the end of the part they talked about Q + if that's all you heard.

You guessed wrong. I found Peter to be polite / balanced.

Yes he is and he's right about social media and Greg is right about on here but I didn't get the impression Peter was just being polite and didn't like Adam's voice but then he's into opera and knows about trained voices so whether Adam's his personal taste or not he clearly knows he can sing and doesn't think he's utter crap which is what some on here say all the time.

Lambert can hit the notes. But I absolutely cannot stand his voice. It's harsh and grating. And I have to turn the volume down, fast.

I think he sounds like shit singing Queen songs (or any other songs), and I think he looks as tacky as hell. So for me, he's crap.

"Some people have created their own fantasy land" -- is he talking about the Bo Rap movie he participated in?

Ahhaahah

@Day dop regarding the latest Ask Phoebe—there is someone with the user name FreddieDearie who has a great many posts on QZ essentially saying that Jim and Freddie were not lovers. Or they were but . . .Honestly I don’t remember all the details. If you really want to read some garbage posts you can search.

Apparently this person posts on Instagram as well. And there is other stuff on IG that I vaguely heard about. There are some people in Thor’s thread who know a lot more about this.

Surely he doesn't read nor care what goes on here though, does he?

All sounds a tad childish to me.

It may be Instagram he cares about. This person has posted there and here. I don’t read Insta very much, so don’t know the details about what’s been said over there.

Yes, it is very childish. I made the mistake of writing a three-line post to this person and I got an essay back which I ignored.

I like Phoebe a lot. He's in a difficult and unique position. He's correct in the first post about the conflicts (taking QZ as an example) because it really does ruin the band. We all like them for different reasons and by the very nature of us loving it enough to post about it surely we all see the vast complex appeal of the band's output and adventures through the years.

Commenting on people who claim they knew Freddie - well, I'm sure some of them did, I'm sure there are also people who exaggerate their involvement (be it as a coping mechanism or purely for boasting) and he is right to try to level up the blind faith some people show taking interest and goading these people into tales of 30 years ago. I personally don't engage with that side of things because I don't get anything out of that side of it.

I was going to say something along the line of 'yeah but he just wants to make Freddie's legacy about 'amazing hats' FFS' but of course, yes he probably does because that was the Freddie he knew. In the same way Mack would like the legacy to be about the studio work. There are so many almost entirely unconnected branches to this Queen thing and, hey, we can all get on and appreciate why we're here. Long live Phoebe.
