How have they "really sold out now" and "ruined the band they used to be"? They've ALWAYS sold all kinds of merchandise from the very beginnings of their career.

SOld out by becoming a sad nostalgia band, by pretending to be relevant while they have become a joke, by hiring a casting muppet with a shrill gal's voice, by becoming sad hippocrites singing about "C-lebries" in 2008 and hiring exactly such a thing 4 years later, by making money of awful movies full of lies, by betraying their so called "friend" by making him look like an idiot in the movie, by constantly defending their lame tours with "Freddie would have loved it"......
I could go on forever. Together with the decline of Bon Jovi the saddest story of a rock band by miles. From a creative force that was untouchable most of the time to a laughing stock.

I don't think Queen&AL are the laughing stock at all,i personally don't like what they are doing with Adam but at the moment they are selling out arena's all over the world,they have massive album sales not to mention a smash hit movie under their belt.I cannot think of a band with their roots in the 70's having this level of success in 2020.

QAL have nothing in common with Queen except two ex members and that they are doing covers

Sorry didn't mean sold out because of Merch sales, as we all know every band is big on merch now, that brings in most of the money from gig's nowaday's, I was just meaning kinda the same as runner 70, Feel they would do anything now to make a buck and keep themselves in the limelight, But that's up to them and they have the right to do so, but it doesn't mean what they're doing is good? in everyones book's. if they were a new band not long out as they are now, I don't feel they would get nowhere, sadly I feel it's only the name Queen that's selling, but that's just my thought's and for those who still like it then that's fine for them, each to there own and all that...

Spot on - just in it for the $$$ to rip off their fan sheep

I think the opinion, that they are selling out is very egoistic. Brian and Roger have every right to do what they want to. As does John.
Brian and Roger decided to go on touring, because they found a singer. They also did/do many other projects that have been mentioned (movie, solo projects...) - for whatever reason. We can enjoy all that or stay away. It’s as simple as that. I‘m happy about the things they are doing now, because I only became a real fan a couple of years ago. For me most things they do are new. I bet it’s the same for many other fans.
We all have a brain. I think, I‘m using mine, when I decide, if I‘m going to buy a ticket, merch or music. I don’t need advice from people here, who feel that everything Brian and Roger are doing now is wrong, because it’s not Queen. The things they do are working and selling well. This means that people are interested in it. Live with it.
Why can’t you just be happy, that you experienced Queen back in the day and let newer fans (and everybody else) enjoy what they are doing now? I really don’t get that. I usually ignore all that negativity on here. Maybe some of the other posters here can try that as well. It would spare us all a lot of crappy fighting posts.

They are the ones pretending to be sth they are not. Totally fake and staged like their casting muppet. This has zero to do with Queen I grew up with. They dont give a shit about quality control anymore as long as there is $$$ to be made. As someone on here said lately it is hobbling on one leg

But if you think it’s that bad, why are you spending your time in this forum? Everything you write here won‘t change anything of what Brian and Roger are doing.
To be honest, your only achievement is, that you appear to be a nasty troll. You are so over the top with all your hateful comments and insults that I can’t take anything you post seriously.

When I have attended QAL shows with thousands of other Queen and Adam fans, I and they have felt anything but “sad.” It is loud, magical, joyful and, yes, nostalgic, but a glorious, happy place to be!
If you experienced the shows in the 70’s and 80’s, you are indeed lucky, but don’t disparage the fact that these two great musicians still want to share their talent, love and joy with the world.

You are the one who said Queen fans wanted Brian Roger and John to die with Freddie. Yet, you act as it's an insult if someone doesn't like AL singing Queen songs.
You change your tune when it suits you. I think you never should have said the horrible, ugly things you have said about Queen fans. You have been wrong, and you were wrong, but not that you can admit it to that. You were being "facetious" is how you tried to excuse yourself when you said Queen fans wanted Brian , Roger and John to die the very day Freddie died. No, you are just hateful towards Queen fans.
