If John is really annoyed with what Brian and Roger he'll have done or will do a court case. I'm sure he's not too bothered because he'll still be getting royalties and probably more thanks to these extra opportunities.

philip storey, for me it is about the music! I was too busy in the 70’s and 80’s getting married and raising babies to attend live Queen concerts so unfortunately I didn’t see them back then. I was not an American Idol fan and didn’t see Adam audition singing Bohemian Rhapsody but after I channel surfed and saw him perform I Get No Satisfaction and Ring of Fire and how exciting it was that he had a dream performance in the finale with Brian and Roger, through that experience I have become a huge fan of both eras.

Before I get jumped on, it’s I Can’t Get No Satisfaction!
Freddie is an original and one of Adam’s idols, along with Michael, David Bowie, Elvis and even Madonna. It is taking awhile but I think Adam is leaving his mark with his creative interpretations of both existing and new music.

no. this is completely wrong. this is only an individual's perception of this situation.
Queen DO exist as long as any founder member wishes to continue as Queen.
Some may not like the new projects, but they are definitely Queen.
Many bands continue after deaths, splits, expulsions. A band only fails to exist once there are no founder members in the lineup.
There's one exception to this rule: The Drifters - who by nature of the group's concept at inception is that members would come and go whenever - the band's name confirms this.

but that's your opinion, and it could be the same for others. The only opinion that matters is that of the band. it's their right to continue to use the name.

With the difference that most of those mentioned are still recording artists who won't do endless greatest Hits tourings which are completely pointless. Freddie would have hated being a nostalgia act. Nonetheless they promote their crap with "Freddie would have loved it". He would not. They just milk the cashcow nothing else. And noone replaces the most iconic frontman ever with a lousy second rate AI loser. Noone!!!!!

Wow, I think there are thousands of people who would argue that the magic and spirit of Queen music has NOT died and is stronger than ever!

If the crowds stop coming (and Queen decide to continue regardless) then - and only then would you have a valid point.[/color]

[QUOTE] [b]ST17 wrote:[/b]Sure it is there right to continue but that does not make it right!
So the shows are sell outs mainly because of Brian & Roger not Adam.[/QUOTE]
well it does make it right. because it's their right to do so. you may disagree, but you don't have have a "dog in the fight" - their continuing doesn't affect you any more than it should anyone else not attending the gigs. perhaps it's time to just let it go, it won;t help you arguing over something you have no control over.
i would agree with you on your closing statement - you may have a point. but we'll never know that to be a fact - not unless you ask every single concert-goer who they were there to see.

Plenty of Adam's fans go to the shows regardless of whether his songs are included. As to Queen fans there are plenty who like what he does, you've argued with a few on facebook and you know they've seen Freddie live, there's plenty on twitter who comment after the shows that they've now become fans of Adam as well, some even saying they'd love to see him solo and some who don't even check out his solo stuff but still rave about him with Brian & Roger. Of course there's others who do go just for Brian & Roger and probably would regardless who was singing and some go even though they don't particularly like Adam's voice. The result is there's not just one type of fan.

I go to see Q+AL mainly because of Brian and Roger of course, but the majority of people who attend (and me included) leave the venue you amazement of Adam's vocal technicality - to be able to sing Queen songs in the same pitch as the original version nearly every time is quite something, whether you like his voice or not!

Those Queen fans you speak of who has turned into AL fans, still hasn't made AL to be able to sell or even download millions of his solo music.
I don't think many AL fans have turned into Queen fans as you might think. Examples thr two main Glamberts here who can barely post about Freddie and Queen, while posting on Queen boards.
