The Freddie factor
Queen in the indoor stadium with Adam Lambert at the point of Freddie Mercury: It works. If they let him then.
Queen, which was the daring name of an English hard rock quartet eccentric academics, which sold hundreds of millions of records and dozens wrote songs that still everybody knows today; not self-evident in this genre. The quartet has halved in the nineties to Duo, but acted thus two problems a. The first is negligible and is called John Deacon, the former bass player who did not believe in the resuscitation of his former colleagues and consistently retired from business in 1997. Deacon was an excellent musician and songwriter, but who looks forward to the bass player? The second problem seemed unsolvable, however: It was said Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 of complications from HIV infection, one of the first prominent victims of the disease.
Mercury remains memorable, unforgettable, irreplaceable. With a wonderful voice, his humor, his charisma and his demonstratively presented homosexuality with which he entertained the homophobic hard rock audience in short white pants and erect microphone stand equally and provoked. He was much less impressed with his art than his audience of millions. The songs his band are like Kleenex, he said, if required tangible and discarded after use. What would be left of his art, asked by a journalist. "I do not give a fuck, darling," he replied, "because then I'll be dead."
The fan in the center of the stage
Mercury is dead, Deacon is gone, and the rest plays at the Hallenstadion with assorted guest musicians and the repertoire of a long career. And from the very first of nearly thirty pieces presented, "One Vision" from the comeback album "A Kind of Magic" from 1986, we can say: music, song and performance thunder as newly composed on the system.
And not in spite of the American guest singer Adam Lambert, who has assumed the impossible task of taking on Mercury's office, but because of him. "Let us celebrate the reason why we fell in love with this band," the 33-year-old once said, and he himself celebrates most of all: as unrestrained fan who he is. Finally, the singer with Mercury's "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the talent show "American Idol" debuted and reüssiert. "No one can replace Freddie Mercury," he has said in interviews. He does the next best thing: he can live it up without denying himself.
Gay Winnetou
Queen had already tried a comeback in the new millennium with the English rock singer Paul Rodgers. It failed because Rodgers lacked everything Mercury possessed about his fantastic voice out in excess: Grandezza, flash Diventum, pathos and irony, tuntenhaftes Posing In other words: Freddie Mercury was uninhibited gay, gay as Thomas Mann and Winnetou together.
Also, it was the uniqueness of this band: they intoned heterosexual music with a gay singer. Under the direction of their masculinity parody was installed.
The rousing finale
With the exalted Adam Lambert this combination is restored, "the Freddie-Factor", as the "Guardian" has been called, and she makes the most of this two and a half hour, blessed mitgesungenen on the amount concert.
More, the appearance on Thursday succeeds whenever Lambert is expended on center stage when it shines with songs like "Another One Bites the Dust", "Killer Queen" or "Tie Your Mother Down" in several octaves and with the shameless, hinkomponierten to the stadium concert encores "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" a furious finale burns.
Thundering boredom
Why still remains a residual disappointment, why do not succeed the whole episode? Because Queen repeat the same mistake already subverted them in July 1986 at the Hallenstadion, and then Mercury was still in the process: the remaining founding members are swayed by their vanity. And assume the worst excesses of the sixties - a long solos, cut and thresh on guitar and drums, booming bombast and boredom. When guitarist Brian May "Love of My Life" intones alone on acoustic guitar, while Mercury fills behind him than life canvas has the somewhat humbling, and it takes the player the tears that he must wipe afterwards. But when he and drummer Roger Taylor go through the size of the self, one waits only for the fact that their self-esteem subsides again and good music is played. Regretfully, one thinks about what pieces for the band still could play. And wishing that the musicians had their talent more familiar than their representation engines.
Nevertheless, and even comforting about these escapades of time: On stage, musicians play together with obvious pleasure, and there is nothing better on a concert, as if the audience can share his enthusiasm with those who are concerned about this. For Kleenex tissues are finally there: as stoffliches equivalent physical vehemence. (Tagesanzeiger.ch/Newsnet)

Queen and Adam Lambert ignite the Hallenstadion in Zurich
The tubes "Radio Ga Ga" and "We Are the Champions" that made Queen one of the groups pop / rock's most legendary in the world, ignited the Hallenstadion in Zurich. The founding members of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor played alongside American singer Adam Lambert.
"Another One Bit the Dust", "We Will Rock You", "Bohemian Rhapsody", the endless list of tubes of the British group, topping the charts there are between 30 and 40 years, have captivated the audience raised in 'Zurich pregnant from the opening bars.
With guitarist Brian May, 67, and drummer Roger Taylor, 65, half of the original group were in the spotlight. Bassist John Deacon no longer changes on stage since the late 1990s and replaced Adam Lambert micro Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 at the age of 45 years.
Fans were however able to admire from time to time the leader of the time on screens and heard in snippets recorded there for decades.
Huge challenge
Hard task indeed for the new lead singer of Queen, 33, than the best fill the void left by a monument such as Freddie Mercury. Adam Lambert, who has himself conceded, yet the challenge with charm and talent, during the world tour of the legendary group of pop / rock.
The American has a powerful voice, knows how to move on stage and win public favor. It was not for nothing he hoisted a few years in second place of the famous TV show "American Idol." The young man also had more success in his solo career in the United States.
National languages
Brian May was visibly moved by the warm welcome of the public "crazy Zurich." He thanked the fans for their loyalty, welcoming not only in English but also in German, French and Italian.
In the absence of Freddie Mercury, an inevitable lack is felt first by listening to Queen songs. It takes some time to get used to the new texture of the group. But those who are seduced can then chew toothy his immortal hits, not without a good dose of nostalgia.
