Exclusive Interview with Queen: "Freddie is always present"
Days before the historic Queen show in Cordoba, VOS had a hand in hand exclusively with Brian May, Roger Taylor and Adam Lambert. The past and present of an emblematic rock group. watch videos of his recent performance at Rock in Rio .
By Joseph Heinz0
A group of fans gathered in a village of Puerto Madero copes with a persistent drizzle with jackets and umbrellas. Sharpen up when some deluxe truck is parked in front of the Hotel Faena, but have not been lucky so far, he did not show any of their idols. Once it gets through the Access-a narrow garden with carpet, well custodiado-, production of Queen asks the envoy VOS to wait in the lobby, an elegant space and slightly kitsch reminiscent of the famous hesitant start of Bohemian Rhapsody : Is this the real life or just fantasy?
There are antique armchairs in shades of beige, no baroque chandeliers, red and gold colors, no background music (a selection of smooth jazz ) and a grand piano to this naptime is just part of the decor. It could be the scene of an unprecedented Wes Anderson film if it were not for the characters to interact not match the American director. There are informal meetings of businessmen and tourists, lectures in different languages, thinly imported cups and glasses of water garnished with lemon peel.
The interview is scheduled in one of the upper floors. Once there are no indications to wait, but before receiving any signal opens one of the elevators and inside the chrome cube appears Sir Brian Harold May. By far the figure looks like a classical composer of the 17th century, but as -camisa and black pants on, some white Adidas that match with her hair enrulada- the initial impression is dispelled. One of the most important electric guitarists of history greets British warmth before disappearing down a corridor, flanked by a bodyguard.
Minutes later, we are next to May, Roger Taylor and Adam Lambert in a room to talk about Queen before his show Sunday at the Orpheus. They are in high spirits, Argentina brings fond memories. Their shows in the '80s were emblematic and were stored in the memory of Taylor and May. "With Maradona we exchanged shirts. He still has mine, and I in him, "says the guitarist as it is located in one of the velvet seats.
Adam, ordained you as a singer in musicals. What qualities gave you that job to take care of this job?
Lambert: He gave me a good idea of what a show, by its dynamics. It teaches you how to arm themselves well a show, with its peaks and slopes. And he also gave me a work ethic. When you are part of a musical, you have to do eight shows a week and that's a lot of work, so you have to be very professional. It made me understand the concept of "show must go on".
Roger, when you look back, what do you think was the greatest contribution to the history of Queen rock?
-Taylor: I think that should say others. I feel very fortunate for our career, we are privileged. We work hard to achieve that. All the rest, that people say.
-May: If I start thinking, I think we were one of the first bands to realize how important hearings in a rock show. In the city where we came (Hampton), the concerts were calmer experience, people did not sing much. Instead of resisting, we embrace that idea. We were the first to build music from that, from an idea of interaction. In Adam we have someone perfect for that, because he knows very well interact with the public. Since starting the concert, people already feel part of the show.
Young blood
Brian, suns noting that the group Adam brought fresh ideas. What kind of ideas were?
Lambert: More eyeliner! (laughs)
-May: Yes, he is much more glamorous than us. He brought the youth group.
Lambert: I also brought tequila ...
-May: Well, that he would not mention (laughs) . This group poses an open discussion, and Adam is not one to lower your head and say yes to everything, he always has new ideas to try. That is the spirit of Queen, try everything without barriers. We achieved a great relationship, something we really appreciated.
Lambert: They gave me a great gift, the best you can imagine. Motivated me a lot to explore songs, they gave me freedom. It makes me happy when I propose something that works. I also proposed several things who failed miserably, saying "Noooo" ... It is a partnership with great respect, we combine forces in a single show.
-May: Did you know that on the show do a song from Adam? We played Ghost Town , but in the style of Queen.
Adam: When they told me, I thought it was a dance song too, but they did work and was very natural.
-Taylor: Our version is not dance at all ...
Brian, your Red Special guitar is an icon in the rock. It is known that you fabricaste and that gave him a unique sound. Do you think we have to encourage the musicians to build their own instruments?
-May: Not everyone can take the time to make your own guitar. One of the reasons is that the fabricated had no money to buy one. So did my father, and it was great, it's part of the sound of Queen. But the most important thing is to find something that is part of you, an extension of you, so you do not think in the art, but in feeling and sound. After that, you're free to explore what you mean with the instrument.
¿Dirías Helping specialize in something beyond the music? Your case is emblematic, SOS Doctor in Astrophysics.
-May: There is an old English saying "If you want something done, I turned to a busy man." Do different things can be good, because it stimulates creativity.
-When Playing live, do you feel somehow the presence of Freddie Mercury?
-Taylor: Having played so many years with Freddie makes him feel around all the time, not just when we are onstage. So what things we say every time we talked among ourselves.
-May: I totally agree, it is always present. Freddie is part of the show. He wrote amazing songs, recitals Adam interacts with it.
Adam: To me it is very important to tell the public how I feel about Freddie. I am such a fan like them, only I get to be on stage. For me it is a beautiful thing connecting the past with the present in this way.
-May: In this same situation and we imagine what would Freddie (imitating his voice) : "Think about it, I fuckin 'do it, go ahead. I'll get another drink " (laughs) .
What do you think of holograms that "revive" artists at
concerts? 'Actually are not holograms, but "Ghost Pepper" (a technique of illusion). Nobody makes holograms. We tried, but we concluded that it was not right for Freddie, for several reasons. We prefer their recorded performances. At shows what you see and what you hear on the screens. Roger can play with him like old times. That generates more organic than those holograms, which are much more restricted.
-Taylor: That way, the audience is clear that it is a movie. It is not something that pretends to be a physical presence. That would be unrealistic.
-A While before this interview, I saw on Twitter elogiabas Pope Francisco. Do you think he did a great change?
-May: In my life I was never very adept at the Catholic Church, but I think this Pope is a great man, an important influence.
-Taylor: Beyond you are religious or not, a good man is a good man. And he's a good man.
-Many Queen songs have in their title the word "love". Obviously I love Freddie was an important topic. Have you changed your concept in this new century? How do you define?
-Taylor: That is never enough.
Lambert: I do not know, but love should not have a definition, it is an experience.
-Taylor: Still, I think we win that Beatles titles have him ... something happens that is universal that binds very well with the music.
-May: No math or physical responses to it. No one can define it at all. Love can be a wonderful thing, too painful and basically man has no control of that. Envelops you and do the best you can in that situation. Many of our songs are about just that.

Strengthening the singer Adam Lambert, the Queen band successfully performed concerts in San Paulo and Porto Alegre.
No doubt both concert were a lot of emotions show that brought together several generations.
The supergroup is still formed by Spike Edney (keyboard), Neil Fairclough (bass) and Ruffus Taylor (drums and percussion), son of Roger Taylor, who gave everything on stage with Lambert.
The shows were opened with "One Vision", followed by a more captivating "Stone Cold Crazy" in a long list of 25 issues that lasted for over two hours.
The most emotional moment of the night was half of the concert, when guitarist Brian May stood alone in the center of the stage and asked the audience, in Portuguese, to accompany him to sing "Freddie" the ballad "Love of my Life "precisely the issue that has been most memorable concert in Brazil 1985.
Queen left for the end his most famous first song "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the encore "We Will Rock You" and for decommissioning, "We are the Champions", the same song with which he concluded his show for three decades and the so-called "country of soccer" is venerated as an anthem at football.

Meet the man who replaces Freddie Mercury, nothing less
by Carlos Prat Iogna
The singer is in Buenos Aires to perform with Queen , GEBA Friday. The Argentine public will be able to enjoy his voice in the greatest hits of the legendary band.
Did you ever think to replace Freddie Mercury in Queen ? Surely many asked themselves this question. A great responsibility and a challenge for any artist who wants to transcend in the history of music.
Freddie was light with her voice. Energy that transcended and transformed into a legacy. One of the most brilliant in the history of popular music singers. His fellow Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor , the commitment to these exciting themes were taken alive.
Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) put his voice in the service of the band and many remember his presentation in Buenos Aires. Now, the post was entrusted to a young 33, Adam Lambert.
The dream of the boy. Participate in various musicals, reaching a quiz show (American Idol) and be one of the figures. Adam spent the casting eternal singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" and as fate would interpret today live with Queen.
The British band arrived in the country on a rain-laden clouds week. The musicians settled into a cozy hotel in Buenos Aires to think about the shows that will on Argentine soil (GEBA and the Orfeo Superdome in Cordoba on 27 September). A large group of fans awaited the arrival of the legendary group on the sidewalk with their umbrellas and pilots. Larger sought a photo with rock legends The other, younger, with Adam Lambert.
Inside the hotel everything was very quiet. Each employee complying perfectly with their duties. On the first floor, producers and press agents were waiting for the turn to the respective notes. Lambert was asked to take a few journalists. The singer is presenting his new album "The Original High", but all point to learn more about the life of Queen.
Adam arrived in high spirits into the room accompanied by his security people. A warm atmosphere with great decor, an interesting library and a table full of cell phones, disks and folders. "I am very happy to be in Buenos Aires. I really wanted to get and stay in touch with fans. Not stopped responding messages from them, "he said.
Also, the musician acknowledged that its passage by "American Idol" was the starting point in his career. "I never imagined this." Lambert knows the challenge of being in a band like Queen, in place of Mercury. "Freddie was a big one. It is very difficult to sing his songs. At first I was nervous and worried about public opinion. Once on stage I was really enjoyed it. "
"The Original High" resume listening music and enjoy. "The material has different styles, highlights the R & B, house, pop, rock. It has much to do with the music that always heard. "
After the interviews, Adam returned to his people to the room to rest. The idea is to learn a little of the city. The fans still in the door with the intention of meeting him, for now, for a few minutes.

Adam Lambert: "I met Queen as a fan, now moves me to sing his songs"
Adam Lambert will be presented with Brian May and Roger Taylor tonight GEBA.
The singer arrived in Argentina with Brian May and Roger Taylor as part of his tour Do not stop them now and spoke to the NATION
Silvina Akhmat Friday September 25, 2015
"I would love to see some tango, and perhaps try some steps," says Adam Lambert and throws a sly chuckle, as if his own image rockstar with leather jacket, black shoes with studs and mittens ditto dancing to the 2x4 you have cross crossed your mind. He arrived in Buenos Aires with two rock legends Brian May and Roger Taylor, after 12 intense days in Brazil that did not dent his enthusiasm Tuesday: constant smile and no fear of loud, uncontrollable laughter, and sometimes cathartic, define the mood in his talk alone with the NATION. And that rains out to be missing months for spring and the city no walks. "It's the first time I come to South America and I'm excited. I would go to a museum, get to know the city," he says. He said that Argentina had heard that "the fans are very passionate" - "I love it" - and as a lover of musical theater, knows by heart the story of Eva Peron told by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber at ya legendary musical Evita. The rest is "anxious to discover."
It is not hard to understand her joy. With 33 years and a brief but exploded career after passing through American Idol, he became the frontman of Queen for a world tour that only gives him satisfaction: Queen + Adam Lambert is the new training after the end of the society of the active members of the band (John Deacon left the music a few years after the death of Freddie Mercury) with Paul Rodgers, who brought May and Taylor to Buenos Aires in 2008. His new tour, Do not stop them now, It is literally unstoppable: Japan, South Korea Australia, New Zealand, Europe and South America. They were at the Rock in Rio, a very significant Queen festival because his recital in 1985 was printed in the annals of rock history, and now Argentina: GEBA play tonight and Sunday at Orfeo in Cordoba.

Lambert does not replace Freddie Mercury is out of the question. "He is a demigod and I want to pay tribute," said right and left singer since the beginning of this collaboration. Adam had met May and Taylor in 2009 when they were invited to play in the final of American Idol. The idea of working together was finalized in 2011: ". I said, 'My God, this is gonna work I knew the fans would be a little reluctant at first I was very intimidated by all this," he admits, but now describes the group as "a family": "It's amazing to be on tour with them, we get along very well between us, we're like family were always very warm with me, I never felt weird, but at first I took, I was terrified. . I think I could generate this perception that we are different performers and I'm not trying to imitate Freddie. In recent years, I realized that I have to worry not only enjoy, "he explains. Undoubtedly, the experience of working with two musicians of May and Taylor is pure learning: "It is a great honor to sing songs that everyone knows is exciting to be able to sing songs that mean so much to people Brian and... Roger all the time I ask them what they want, always ask them to guide me, and they are very friendly and help me a lot, they say 'this is this way.' But watching them learn to work. I admire how much they love this. "
Before each test with the band, Adam took to do your research on the lyrics and music: "Understanding the song, what their intent is, you look for the listener feel, helped me understand how I have to be on stage. "
Then maybe you can solve the mystery for every fan of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
- I do not know yet what that letter means. It's like they feel some guilt, shame about something, I do not know what could be many things, but he is asking his mother to forgive him.
Is it your favorite track?
- I do not have one. "Another one bites the dust". Amo "Who wants to live forever?" Love "I want it all." "Somebody to love" means a lot to me. Ay! Yes I understand those letters! I understand that feeling, "someone to find someone to love me, please!".
He laughs out loud, but says that is exactly how it feels: "I'm in love," she admits with a sigh. If something makes a diametrical difference with Freddie Mercury is the freedom with which he speaks of his personal life. He does not hesitate to tell who is gay and even considers it necessary to speak to topple taboos. "I think we are moving towards something good is increasingly accepted. We are all human, that's the big thing, we are no different," he says. "It seems to be leading the band is now interesting because when Queen pulled her big hits in the 70s and 80s, it was definitely something I could not speak, and I think some songs are exactly on that, on Freddie and a secret. I feel it is very positive to say you're proud of it and bring these songs to life with a new perspective. " Lambert is surprised to hear that Argentina was the first Latin American country to approve gay marriage and applauds: "I think that this debate has to focus on religion and government are different things I think that everyone is entitled. to believe in religion that always want to not hurt anyone. But that's the freedom that should apply to any form of marriage you want to choose for your life, equality is a very important thing, is necessary, and sends marriage the message that we are equal, and just want to be happy. "
The new great pretender
"I've always been a child actor," he admits. Account boy who knew by heart the story of Sleeping Beauty and interpreted in different voices. Also every year on Thanksgiving, his favorite uncle made whole family record a movie and then deployed all his histrionics. "I grew up surrounded by the creativity and imagination that inspired me a lot." She did theater throughout school and when completed traveled from San Diego to Los Angeles to become an actor of musicals.

"I started to work, and dreamed of going to Broadway, where everyone wants to go. But finally I was not me, was comfortable in Los Angeles. I started to do things outside the world of music, working with a band, and I began to be in this situation of artist recording an album. And I loved it. That felt, that I like, because I can create music, the look, the show. I like to express myself and not tell me where I have to stop and what I have to say and sing. I like the freedom. So I started writing songs, learn about recordings, and a few years later I saw how I could go one step further. That's when I knew I had auditioned for American Idol, and I thought, I like the show, I always see, I do not think I want to go because I'm crazy, but I'll try. "
youtu.be/pIJYVPpt5Ls
The story then known: not only liked, but that marked a before and after in the reality show because it raised passions. Although not formally won, he reached the final and became hiperpopular after passing through the software by the dizzying style and vocal virtuosity. He released three albums, the last The Original high, came out in June this year and received much praise. "Ghost Town," his first single, was included in the repertoire of this tour with Queen.
"It's a modern album, there is much dancing, it is very funk, some R & B, is very vocal. I believe that explores points of my voice is more intimate, as if talking to someone about how I feel, not to a large audience, "he explains. "It looks like the music of Queen, but I'm sure that influenced my appreciation and valuation melody. Maybe before I was excited by the riffs and stuff, but now I feel that a good melody is a melody, cantala, that's what you connect more with people. "
youtu.be/4pQx0s5F3wM
'What you feel that you bring to Queen in this collaboration?
- I met Queen as a fan. The first thing I heard from them was the Greatest Hits album, and that was 20 years after those issues be edited. I think some of the magic of this tour is that I could bring a different perspective of those songs, from a place that I understand they mean a lot to people.
Something that has always characterized as a band Queen was the chemistry between them, understanding that succeeded on stage. How did you get into that dynamic with Brian and Roger?
It was a matter of time. We get along very well, much humor. We understand each other. It's weird because we are two different generations, different worlds. I have great respect for them because they have obviously seen a lot, and have written these amazing songs, but I like to think I bring some freshness, new ideas, try to think about the show and what people want to see, and I think it's a very good collaboration.
"They're going to love," predicted Brian May at a recent press conference. He also said that his connection with the audience is striking. "That has in common with Freddie, because that is not learned, with that being born," said the guitar hero. Adam Lambert is not then flushed or blushes when this reporter repeats the praise. He just smiles again with that mischief. Because he is determined to conquer, to get the crown great simulator, and make the show continue.

QueenOnline on Tour: Notes From The Road South America Part 7
Porto Alegre: Worst weather, best show.
I make no apologies for that assessment Sao Paulo or Rio; it's just how I saw it. A leaner and meaner set was played at this show, with the removal of ‘Save Me’, '39’, ‘The Show Must Go On’ and ‘Stone Cold Crazy’ and a little re-jigging of the set list - some will disagree, but less is more sometimes. Another thing, this was the best I have ever seen Adam perform, he was on it from the word go. The impression I got, was he pushed back the 'pea cocking' as he calls it, and just went for a high-energy performance, he really seemed ‘in the zone’.
It's funny how some songs are received differently from gig to gig. One of the biggest roars of the night in Porto Alegre was for 'Seven Seas Of Rhye', not the most obvious choice, but I like a little twist to things. My personal favourite part of the show was Adam's call and response after 'Tie Your Mother Down’ that segued into a cool little jam.
I have new thing too. If I can, I like to give out set lists to people at the end of the shows. I pick a few people out and I just love seeing those faces light up. I think it's because I'm a dad.
So, thanks Brazil, it's been a blast, short but sweet and I will return. One cool little fact for you; my older sister lives in Brazil and she text me to say in the wake of Rock In Rio, A Tarde FM Radio have not stopped playing 'Love Of My Life', she said it’s on multiple times EVERYDAY. Well, let's remember what Brian said, "It's your song Brazil..."
To Buenos Aires then…the flight was rather unspectacular and turbulence free this time, but a couple of funny things did occur...
1) We skipped our bags being scanned and checked at Argentinean customs because we were 'with Queen'. Not sure that was completely responsible behaviour by the staff, but we did appreciate it - nothing like a name drop though eh?
2) The same customs staff asked if I was Queen's manager. Wasn't sure how to take that one, but I did laugh.
3) Some baggage handlers asked to have their photo taken with Nigel, Roger's drum technician.
4) But the best was Pete Malandrone's boarding pass. It was printed as thus - 'Peter Guitar Malandrone'. He is currently not answering to his first name, only 'Guitar'.
All that and we had not even got out of the airport terminal. 'Queen Crew Mania', anyone?
Two days off in Buenos Aires then.
Some stay in their rooms and watch films, others venture out and visit graveyards. Some prefer room service, others have lunch and whilst watching live Tango dancing. Some went out drinking and were not heard of for 24 hours, I went for a massage. Everyone is different in what they do, but rest was needed, the schedule had been quite brutal, especially with the late stage times. I caught up with some work, checked in the Queen Productions London and spoke to home.
For one of my days off I was lucky to have a guide and managed to see a bit of the city. I have known Wilki (or Pablo as I found out) several years now, he translates all the news and copy into Spanish for QueenOnline, as well as few other jobs down here for us. We met up and he insisted on showing me around and I am glad he did, I got a history lesson, a politics lecture and a walking tour of Downtown. I summarised it as thus; the part of Buenos Aires I saw was like New York with a Barcelona attitude.
Is Lenny Kravitz big here by the way? I just seemed to hear his tunes everywhere I go here. It's not a bad thing, as long as you only stick to his first four albums.
The crew party was on Wednesday - what goes on tour stays on tour and all that! Not really. We went out to a really nice pizza restaurant, band and management included, and had jolly old time, super food, some amazing red wine and cocktails and a great laugh. Roger led the "Cheers!" and the downing of a shot of tequila and Brian's declared us as...(rude word coming up) "The best f*cking crew in the world!" - I'll take that, I have only ever been in one crew, so a 100% record for me!
Yesterday's pre-show load in squally conditions at the Geba venue was not the most pleasant of afternoons and I say that from a guy who sits in a portacabin most of the time and not constructing a stage outside - there was some quite 'colourful' language to be heard, but the crew smashed through for quite an early finish at 10.30pm. The grey weather did make me feel at home, however...
...Today, we have bright sunshine! Although still a bit windy, coats have been retired for now, the shades are on and 'Guitar' has just given us a short medley of AC/DC riffs as he tests out BM's Red Special.
Soundcheck is imminent, in fact, I have just heard over the radio..."Are you ready for Rog to come and make some noise? Over."
I have been told that not only does an Argentinean crowd sing every word, but also it has been known that they sing Brian's solos!
Come rain or shine, I am expecting great things Buenos Aires.

More rules will be added if the need arises but, if everyone follows these rules, we will not need a lot of rules.
