The real reason Queen is touring with Lambert.

The real reason queen is touring with lambert is not because they need the money, or because they love playing, or because Lambert is God's gift to humanity and a better vocalist that Freddie. No, the reason they are touring is to allow Brian to continue to propagate the myth that he was the true mastermind of queens success and he wants to show that they can just as big and just as successful without Freddie -- that Freddie is just a footnote in the long history of Queen. A bit important, but no more important than Adam.

That's the sad truth.

Probably that could be the reason for the Live Aid set Australia (just my opinion folks) if true Brian truly is deluded and out of touch . Brian's ego has gone through the roof since Freddie passed away.

Sadly Brian is mentally very unwell these days. He's always struggled with his mental demons but it definitely does seem to have intensified in old age. I hope he sorts it out and gets better.

And so, Boy Genious, what is your excuse for your obsessive behavior?

I don't have any excuses. I just feel like discussing this issue with other people. Plus I have more time on my hands due to the insanity going on around me.

I think this is bullshit. The reason they're touring is because they want to and because there is demand. If it was about Queen being successful without Freddie, there would have been three decades of new music..... and there hasn't been. Only one album that didn't work out well.

They tried to make new music; and it turned out positively mediocre. If they could make amazing new music they would, but they can't. Brian's only weapons are touring with crapbert, the queen movie, and insinuations about how crapbert is better than Freddie. That's all he's got.

you still don't get it, do you? no one makes money out of new music these days.
in the 70/80s bands toured to promote LP sales. these days, the only money made is from touring, movies and tv and advertising placement.

even if they wanted to make new music, there's little inclination/motivation toward doing so. in the modern climate, you'll find most of the bands still recording regularly will be the late 90s/millennium bands, who may have only recorded a handful of LPs so far - there's still "stuff they want to say" - and they can use it to promote their tours.

lots 70/80s major bands have been touring on and off for the last decade or so - and hardly any have produced any new music...they'll release live albums, sure.

stones, who, eagles, aerosmith, kiss, whitesnake, skynyrd, leppard etc have been touring during the last 20 years - how many actual albums have been released?


2004 - aerosmith - honkin'
2006 - who - endless wire
2007 - eagles - road out of eden
2008 - leppard - sparkle lounge
2009 - skynyrd - god and guns
2011 - whitesnake - forevermore
2012 - kiss - monster
2012 - aersmith - another dimension
2016 - stones - blue and lonesome
2019 - whitesnake - flesh and blood
2019 - who - who

you can shape your argument anyway you like, but the truth is that any band around as long as queen, is doing very little in the way of new original recording. there just isn't a reason to do so.

Who said anything about money? Also what are you talking about? I honestly don't know.

Its all about been constructive and Brian cannot be arsed to be constructive anymore so he tours!
To be honest Freddie and John wrote the most commercial songs in Queen and Brian today has lost the song writing ability .
What in your opinion was the last decent song Brian wrote for Queen ?

ok, stop and think. you "honestly don't know" because you ignore any argument that refutes/dismisses your claims..
why do musicans perform? - for money. it's a job.
in the 60/70s and most of the 80s, recorded music made money. these days it doesn't - so there is no incentive to sit down in writing sessions for weeks on end.

on the other hand, there's plenty to be made out of touring.

so if he still enjoys playing music, then touring is a better fit - as proven by the list of bands above. in the same period Queen produced 1 LP.

also, somewhere along the line Brian and Roger have BOTH contributed to in excess of 250 songs. that's almost an LP's worth every two years, so if they don't want to continue to do so - it's their choice. let it rest.

no one tells you what to do, do they? give it a rest.

i tend to disagree. on a worldwide scale:
Freddie wrote TWO of the most commercial songs - WATC and Bo Rhap
John wrote one of the most commercial songs - AOBTD.

Roger had a much bigger slice of commercial success:
Radio Ga Ga
AKOM - huge film hit
One Vision - another film hit
Innuendo
These Are The Days
Heavan For Everyone

Surely "One Vision" was written by all members?
John had "Your My Best Friend" & "Another One Bites The Dust" and Freddie wrote a bundle of massive songs :

Killer Queen
Seven Seas Of Rhye
Bohemian Rhapsody
Somebody To Love
We Are The Champions
Bicycle Race
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Play The Game
Its A Hard Life

Freddie's song writing out did other members in Queen easily and he was without doubt the bands hit maker.

I don't care what they do now and if they are not creative anymore, I care that they are not releasing more old material and we all know there's plenty.

They are making plenty of money with concerts etc, so why not release more old material, that's what I don't understand, is it BM controlling this or record companies......
