Wembley SSE is nothing to sneeze at.

Short like I thought. Funny thing some people said he was suited more to Vegas than singing rock songs. Look at him now...but I'm sure he will still fit in a cover or two during these shows. [/QUOTE]
These German shows are tiny clubs. And not even those will sell out. Wonder what makes him think he will sell out Wembley Arena.

From memory between 1200 and 1500, what size venues do you think accounts for 80 percent of live tours in Europe.
Also the Amsterdam venue is somewhere between 5 and 6 thousand and Wembley is twice that.
What makes you so factually knowledgeable about the number of tickets Lambert will or won't sell.
Not every artist plays arenas or stadiums and even Queen back in the day didn't sellout every show.
If Freddie performed in similar circumstances as Adam does now, how do we know that he wouldn't perform as theatrical as Adam does with Queen?
If you don't like him tough luck - hundreds of thousands of people obviously want to see Q+AL live otherwise they wouldn't be on a global tour. Just deal and respect Brian and Roger's decisions and stop complaining because it'll change nothing. Stop ruining it for those who want to as it's a free world, it's not a dictatorship.

Young Music Fan People are going to the shows because of Brian Nd Roger as they are the rock legends.
Adam is just the singer helping them out.
Lambert needs Queen more than Queen needs Lambert.[/QUOTE]
„People“?
People go for very different reasons.
Most go for the music, what else? (some are just accompanying parters).
Some are Brian and/or Roger fans.
Some are Adam fans.
Some are both.
Some are no particular fan at all and only casual music fans, who always wanted to see Queen.
And others are longtime fans, who don’t care much about QAL, but want tosend a great night.
Percentages differ from country to country and nigh5 to night. My bet is, that the particular Brian, Roger and Adam fans always are in the minority.

You are in for a surprise, my dear...
(And since when do tiny clubs have a capacity of 1600? LOL)

I know, I go mainly because of Brian and Roger but I'm sure most are amazed by Adam's delivery - he is just not a singer but a performer.

Freddie evolved in studio and onstage throughout his career. If Freddie toured after '86, I doubt he would have kept on wearing the crown and cape. How many years has AL been wearing the coronet now.

Who else finds Adam’s version of Who Wants To Live Forever absolutely terrible? He starts screaming the notes because he can’t sing them correctly. Freddie’s original version was a power ballad, I’m unsure what Adam’s is. Bunch of thin pitched screaming. Perhaps his worst vocal performances.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't call it a absolutely terrible, but I've never warmed up to him singing it. Almost as if AL is trying to show off, less is more even the Queen live version was so much better than Q+ALs version of it.

Asda got Adam Lambert's new "Velvet" album in but no one purchased a copy so the whole batch got took off display and sent back ![/QUOTE]

Exactly, tweets and comments after the shows bear that out, there's always people who are astounded by him when they've not heard him before.

How can you tell when he's only announced some shows yet, the USA one's haven't been added and they only take him to September so he's the rest of the year to add shows other places, probably Australia, maybe Asia etc. As for Vegas there's tons of bands/musicians doing Vegas now, it's a sought after gig, and why shouldn't he throw in some covers if he wants, his fans have favourites they love him doing.

Artists get offered gigs by the promoter based on what they think will sell so he won't have decided to just do it. Lots of artists do arena's and block off parts anyway if they have more people wanting tickets than the smaller venues can hold, the venues are geared up for that since there's no in between sized venues in a lot of places.

Well that particular song is the one everyone says he sings brilliantly, even one's who don't really like him with Queen. He doesn't scream the notes at all on this song.

I'm going by what has been announced so far. But can you really imagine a lengthy AL solo tour? I can't to be honest.

Well obviously not everyone, MisterCosmicc and are examples ;-).
