‘I Lied To The FBI’ sounds like a ‘Was Not Was’ song!

METAL EXPRESS RADIO
QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT (Live) At The Metro Arena, Newcastle (UK) 1st December 2017It`s always a tough one. Just how do you fill the shoes of one of the most iconic frontmen of one of the most successful bands in the world. It`s a question that has dogged Brian May and Roger Taylor since the passing of the legendary Freddie Mercury back in 1992. In 2004 Queen joined forces with Bad Company and Free lead singer Paul Rodgers and toured as Queen + Paul Rodgers and featured songs from their respective catalogues. Rodgers, himself a major influence on Queen in their early days, brought a steely Bluesy edge to the songs of Queen.When Rodgers departed to continue with his own music, Queen made a guest appearance on American Idol and first encountered a leather clad, flamboyant singer, capable of incredible vocal histrionics by the name of Adam Lambert. The connection had been made and it was only a matter of time before things happened.With tickets for the whole UK tour snapped up in a matter of hours, the insatiable desire to see Queen back on stage proved that their first tour with Lambert in 2015 was anything but a fluke. With a feast of options of to pick from to open the show Queen plumped for Hammer To Fall and talk about getting off to an explosive start with Metallica approved Stone Cold Crazy and Tie Your Mother Down following in quick succession, they delivered a swift knockout blow and a lesson on how to make a grand entrance.Over the course of the next couple of hours it was hit after hit after hit from Another One Bites The Dust to Don`t Stop Me Now and Radio Ga Ga, which saw 10,000 pairs of hands shoot skyward. It`s hard to think of many other bands that could roll out a full set of major bona fide hits quite like this.Adam Lambert had more costume changes than Kylie and probably more sequins too. He lapped it up and hammed it up especially on Fat Bottomed Girls riding across the stage on a pink tricycle throwing roses into the crowd and sitting atop a giant robot’s head for Killer Queen.
With an audience ranging across the generations from regular couples to leather clad bikers their appeal is wide and universal and how can you argue with the classics that range from glorious Pop of I Want To Break Free to hard hitting Rock of Stone Cold Crazy, a song showing Queen can match even the heaviest of rockers around.
Although there may be some who feel Queen should not continue without Freddie and that on one hand is understandable but wouldn`t it be a crying shame to never hear or see these songs on stage again, performed by two of the key members of that band? Seeing Brian May cranking the riffs and Roger Taylor hammering away on the drums while both adding in their own distinctive vocals to the songs is surely worth anyone`s money.
Both May and Taylor had their moments on lead vocals with May delivering a poignant Love Of My Life together with an on-screen Freddie Mercury that tugged at the heartstrings while Taylor gave a husky run through signature tune I`m In Love With My Car and later, A Kind Of Magic armed only with a tambourine.
Of course, the big question. Can Adam Lambert cut it? His performance on the haunting ballad Who Wants To Live Forever was nothing short of stunning. That was precisely the moment that you go to gigs for. Judging from the enthusiastic reaction and his command of the crowd not to mention his incredible vocals, it couldn`t be anything other than a big, emphatic, yes.

@gavpeterson316 @adamlambert “No Freddie Mercury” granted. But that boy is a showman in his own right. Unbelievable show in Newcastle tonight. Thank you

DECEMBER 1, 2017 BY SEREN HUTCHINSON Queen & Adam Lambert at Arena Birmingham 30/11/17
So I don’t know about anyone else but Queen have been one of those rock legends I have grown up listening to and I always thought to myself ‘I want to be like them when I grow up’… However looking back on my childhood self, just being in the same room as the rock gods Brian May & Roger Taylor was enough to satisfy my childhood dreams. So I had a rocky start to the night with several delayed trains but eventually I made it to Birmingham with just enough time to grab a hot, chocolate waffle from the German Market. (Note these are incredibly hard to eat whilst walking in the freezing cold!) The queues were relatively small and fast moving so I got into the arena in no time at all. As I walked in with anticipation I was filled with joy to find our seats were, in my opinion, the best in the house! Not too high and not too low, just right! As the lights dimmed and the crowd cheered excitedly and we were greeted with not Queen, but Frank the Robot (a graphic character who would reappear throughout the set). As the teaser for ‘We Will Rock You’ faded, the spot light fell to Brian May and thus began the night of rock with ‘Hammer to a Fall’ into ‘Stone Cold Crazy’. One minute I thought I was in a Queen concert then the next I was transported to a soft metal gig! The versatility in their songs never fails to surprise me! After hearing ‘Tie your Mother Down’ it finally hit me-‘I’m at a Queen concert’ the funky chord sequences and distortion filled the Arena and everyone began clapping-definitely a song you can’t help but tap your feet too!
