For Brian to actually compare Freddie with Adam is wrong as far as vocal ability is concerned because Freddie was more a flexible singer were Adam is west end theatre style of singer.
Freddie was also a magnificent song writer and pianist were Adam is a crap song writer and cannot play anything.
Brian blows that trumpet far too often for Adam and we know it is just a marketing tool to sell tickets, Brian was always crafty that way.

I don’t understand how it can be interpreted that Brian is two faced, simply because he assisted in the movie, and praises Adam’s abilities. He doesn’t take anything from Freddie, the movie used some creative license in order to make it fit the Hollywood formula. It is done on every movie adaptation of a real-life story. By not focusing on the more salacious parts of Freddie’s life, the movie made it possible for millions more people to become aware of Freddie and his genius. Brian and the movie are promoting Freddie and his life...that is not a slight at all. So now Freddie has more fans and followers than ever before, thanks to the movie, Brian, and Roger.
Then, Brian praises Adam’s abilities, mainly his vocal range. It is well-known that rare if any artists can perform Freddie’s songs because of the extreme range Freddie had...and Brian says that Adam is another rarity that can do it. He doesn’t say Adam is better, more of a genius, or anything of the sort. He simply appreciates Adam’s singing abilities, and the fact that (Brian and Roger) can enjoy life by touring with a talented singer again.
It’s all very genuine and straight forward, it would seem.
No comment on the cat...fox...Briborg....whatever mask situation though..... : D

Hmmm, I must have posted at the same time you did. I agree with both your comments pretty much.

I still agree with Runner70 saying Brian is two faced. Let me explain on the one hand he has made a film about Freddie in Bo Rhap which was drenched in lies (as a friend towards Freddie, why dd he allow this)? He made Freddie look like a right twat, He then goes on to say Adam can do anything Freddie could do and more - really?
Adam cannot play piano or write a masterpiece like "Bohemian Rhapsody" so Brian is talking utter rubbish to make his new pet Adam look superior to Freddie.
May seems to want it both ways to make money, firstly getting exposure about the Rhapsody film then when that is over he is on a different side and praises Lambert, Brian is so two faced its unbelievable but so true. Here is a man now that does not care a damn what he says to the press. Yes he is a brilliant guitarist no one can deny that but his faithfulness towards Fred is in doubt in my opinion.
Amen. And being a nostalgia act in his own coverband for almost 20 years now is surely a goal.....

list proves nothing. band members can quit for a few days - or less.
Ringo left in Aug 68 - didn't he fuck off skiing?
the Beatles were recording Get Back (at Twickenham, Jan '69) and George just walked out. John even quipped sarcastically "we'll get Eric, he's easy to work with"
George returned to finish recording the album.

He was talking about the movie and how it was shown that Freddie begged to get back into the band after a lengthy hiatus. Is it possible that you understand the discussed topic only for ONCE??? This is the serious discussion forum not the one for stalkers and retarded clowns so go elsewhere

I honestly think you've misread his post.
He said
"When did Freddie have an opportunity to quit Queen and then beg to rejoin Queen?"[/i]
and then proceeded to list a timeline of 1980s events. I wasn't claiming Freddie did/didn't do anything. All I did was prove that a short window of time doesn't prevent a departure/rejoin from happening. Bands do it all the time.
As I said - I haven't claimed Freddie left, I just said time was not the reason.

Just perfect.

He was innovative until 1991 because Freddie brought out the best in him. For mor than two decades he has completely lost any creative spark and did not write a good song since 1998's " Another world"
You just cannot buy a clue. Ragging on a legendary musician because he had a solid 25 years of creativity and dried up, like virtually every other artist who has ever lived?
Brian May is one of the most respected musicians of the past century, not least because he is also a PhD in astrophysics instead of writing new music nobody wants to hear. You, on the other hand, are a petty and angry forum troll in an extreme minority that nobody will give a shit about after you're pushing up the daisies.
That's presuming anyone even cares now, which may perhaps be short-sighted of me, but I'm in a generous mood today.

I don't like Brian's current version of Queen, but - Brian is not being two-faced, how can doing exactly as he wants be two-faced? It'd be two-faced to do one thing but pretend it's for different reasons. Brian's doing what he wants on HIS terms - definitely NOT two-faced. If anything it's the exact opposite.
New music doesn't make any money, so there's no real motivation to make an LP - unless it's a live recording (which may help to promote the next tour?). To make new LPs (these days) - an artist is mainly doing it for altruism's sake alone.
I suppose my point is; they're all finding different ways to enjoy their old age - but on their terms. And that's their right alone. We've no real right to say "they can't do this" - we can say how much we don;t like it, but, ultimately, their lives are not our decision to make. How would we feel, if someone else told us how we should live our lives?
So I respect their choices - whether I agree or not.
This testimony is that of a reasonable, educated, and considerate person.
I'd suggest certain people here watch and learn, but they have exhibited zero ability nor interest in doing so.
