No Queen Adam Lambert Live Releases

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonder what makes him think he will sell out Wembley Arena.

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 ;-).

Yes if you like your Queen songs insulted and turned into west end musical theatre by Adam then go for it but Queen started out as a hard rock band with Freddie not mushy musical theatre
which is what Lambert has turned this band into.

Have you actually listened to some Queen songs? They were never JUST a hard rock band and Freddie did plenty of singing that was delicate and not hard hitting.

Well he's in the minority where that song is concerned and knows zero about vocals if he thinks he's "screaming". There's plenty examples of Adam's "screams" but that song doesn't have em.

He books shows and announces them a few at a time as do QAL, he did that in 2015 and there's no reason to suppose this will be any different. Why wouldn't he add more shows after Sept, he loves touring, that's the whole point of putting music out.

Rockchic The majority of Queen's early work was heavy rock especially Queen Queen2 Sheer Heart Attack.
Yes Freddie included the odd delicate little number but the many tracks were hard rock.

Adam's version of "Who Want's To Live Forever" is nothing compared to Freddie's power packed version with those incredible vocals,
and he shows on that song why he he is the greatest male vocalist ever, no one comes close!
