Queen, the legendary kingship of Rock has been a new phase with singer Adam Lambert for 6 years, performing concerts worldwide. The places where they go, the critiques have been positive for several media portals, in addition to sold out stadiums and arenas.
Although the active band has been a success, a topic discussed everywhere is about Adam replace the legendary Freddie Mercury, but the 34 year old singer makes it clear in every interview that only pays homage and honor to his idol. Below, the statements made by Adam stretches.
Adam Lambert: "I never even thought about it (replacing Freddie) I'm not Freddie, do not dare to compare myself with him He's a legend, he is only a man as he is born every one million years! I feel honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie's memory: he is a personal hero of mine, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. "
He also cites his experience at the Queen:
Adam Lambert: "Things with the Queen .. Have been mad, I'm so lucky I'm so honored to be able to sing in a major rock bands of all time Freddie Mercury person is a hero to me as a singer, he. it was second to none. I think he was an incredible composer. And on a personal level, when he was being taken (gay), he had to keep some things private. it's interesting because we're in a different time in as this is a concern. and in a way, I like that, I like that I can be assumed and proud as we celebrate his music and his life. "
Lambert says he always admired the Mercury ability to go "to the extreme" without alienating your audience.
Adam Lambert: "If Freddie Mercury left me a fabulous position to take? Of course. That's why I use fabulous things on tour. But fortunately, Freddie and I have some things in common. We are singers, great, high, but our voices are different, so find my own voice in the songs was an interesting challenge. It is important to put my own mark on them, never leaving me a lot of the original. The key is to be aware of the original intention of the songs. What is the emotional core of this song? What feeling or try to arouse in the listener? I try to focus on that. "
What many do not know is that Adam Lambert grew up participating in theater and music, and says he was just nine years old when Mercury died of an AIDS-related illness in 1991.
Adam Lambert: "I fell in love with rock when I heard the old records of the Queen , and it occurred to me the original as they were. What sets them apart from a lot of other iconic bands is its diversity. There funk music, some blues-heavy rock, pop melodies, catchy, glam-rock music, theater, baroque pieces of operetta - they really diversify musically. "
In addition to the Queen be reference to various subjects and types of people, when asked about the band also have importance for gay culture in breaking the musical world and break paradigms, he replies:
Adam Lambert: "I approve. But the funny thing about gay connection with Freddie is that despite the fact that there are a lot of veiled references to his sexuality in his lyrics, most people were totally lost at that time. The only thing that was blatantly linked to the gay community was one of the looks he presented as the black leather hat, sunglasses and mustache, which was a key look in the early 80s in the gay scene in New York. But a lot of things he was doing in the '70s were not considered gay, because the glam rock had been played with a lot of genre conventions. People like David Bowie , Lou Reed and Marc Bolan, showed all androgynous looks, whether they were gay or not. For most of them, it was just a look. "
Adam Lambert: "Sometimes this duality idea confuses people in today's media. They can not always see the fact that melodrama can be fabulously fun. But I really love artists who go that route, and go with conviction. Freddie was a master of it. Unfortunately, many contemporary rock bands have lost this ability, however, theatricality still lives with many modern artists, sex female with costume changes, dancers, and elaborate themed scenario - that is what modern pop music is, and Queen helped create the environment for this. "
About the shows they made together in recent years, Adam says:
Adam Lambert: "The idea of this tour really is remind the public of the legacy of this band Even though I was a new singer for them, we did not want to make a new one. Version of Queen , but only remind people how everything was fantastic, on them first "
Reviews on these shows have been acclaimed for the band in general and praising Lambert for "revitalize the franchise," putting his own mark on the music while channeling the energy and natural wit of the late Mercury.
