Just the Adam part....
BWW Interview: Patrick Myers Lead Singer of KILLER QUEEN-National Tour by Rich Mehrenberg Jun. 20, 2018
BW: Is Adam Lambert a worthy successor as the front man of the band?
PM: Adam is a god given gift! He has so much talent that he doesn't even blink at the vocal lines Freddie left him. You need to be bullet proof to fill the shoe's he is filling and his talent makes sure that he is. He doesn't sound like Freddie and doesn't try to. He sounds like Adam. And he sounds amazing. Queen to be Queen now and keep things nice and stellar have to score points on credibility on all fronts otherwise its a pointless exercise. Having a guy pretend to be or, try and at the very least, to half emulate Freddie would backfire and be horrible. You've got to bring talent in and let that talent bring something of themselves and hopefully it works. You can't please everyone but you can set out your stall knowing as a unit you're delivering the very best. That's what they do with Adam.
Paul Rodgers brought his stunning soul and blues voice to the party and it worked great. Adam has again a very different voice but a range, stylistically speaking, that embraces a broader sweep of the Queen repertoire - including the vaudevillian style- so its a great way to move forward. I'm just thrilled I finally saw Brian And Roger perform as Queen, I was too young to catch Fred and the gang. Hearing their voices chime together live on Stone Cold Crazy was a real moment for me. I loved it.

Queens tribute to Freddie Mercury and himself by Johanna Ohlau The British band Queen, specifically drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May, together with the American singer Adam Lambert on Wednesday evening, not only on the stage of the arena in the Volkspark, but also in the audience the generations united. Their performance - also a tribute to the late lead singer Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 - has given fans of all ages an evening full of hits by the exceptional band.
Queen cover herself
Recording of the concert of "Queen + Adam Lambert" in the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg. © NDR Photographer: Claudia Timmannn Mercury's footsteps are too big - for every singer These footsteps are certainly too big and so nobody will ever be able to replace Mercury's unmistakable voice with their bandwidth and power. At the concert in the Hamburger Arena, it quickly becomes clear on this evening that singer Adam Lambert does not want that either. "By the way, I'm not Freddie," he jokes between two songs. The audience laughs. It understood what Lambert wants to say. He does not even seek to compromise with Mercury. Although the American also has an impressive volume and can sing effortlessly over several octaves, of course, no hair-copy of the great prototype succeeds. Anyone who has expected that will be disappointed at the end of this evening.
FURTHER INFORMATION Two visitors to the concert of "Queen + Adam Lambert" in Hamburg. Her picture of the concert by Queen + Adam Lambert Were you present at the concert of Queen + Adam Lambert in the Hamburger Arena? Here are the visitor pictures of the evening that NDR 90.3 made of you. more
Evening full of memories and new interpretations But if you get involved in this band project of the two founding members with Adam Lambert, the musicians offer a successful evening full of memories, but also with new interpretations of the great titles. Lambert understands it well, the Queen fans, especially in the choruses "their" songs as original as possible and is always back. These moments are then mainly Brian May, who literally celebrates the songs with extensive guitar solos and lets the strings of his electric guitar ring for minutes. But even Roger Taylor has his big moments on the drums and visibly costs them with pleasure. It's amazing how much energy 70-year-old May and two-year-old Taylor are performing on stage. Another founding member of the band, John Deacon, is absent this evening.
Special effects and laser show At the beginning of the show, a robot named Frank with his gigantic hands lifts a large video screen to the ceiling, while May alludes to "Tear It Up". The screen is an integral part of the entire show and always an eye-catcher, as there are also excerpts from legendary concerts such as in Wembley 1985 and 1986 can be seen, but also places from well-known music videos such as "Bohemian Rhapsody". The whole thing is often framed by neat special effects and a down to the smallest detail planned laser show.
Precision down to the smallest detail at the show The performance is partly choreographed. But without this precision, the emotional climax of the evening would not have been possible: while Brian May plays the ballad "Love Of My Life" on an acoustic guitar, it is not Lambert's voice that accompanies him. It's Freddie Mercury's. May and the late singer can be seen together on the screen - May today, the recording of Mercury comes from a concert at the Wembley Stadium in 1986. Every detail is true, so that the impression actually arises, the two play it together Goosebumps moment, which still impressed many fans after the concert.
Queen + Adam Lambert in Hamburg NDR 90.3 - 21.06.2018 08:30 am Author: Karsten Sekund Adam Lambert instead of Freddie Mercury and many Queen hits: how did the Hamburg audience like it? NDR 90.3 Reporter Karsten Sekund had a look around after the concert.
4.75 at 12 reviews
The fans are also enthusiastic about Mays' knowledge of German, which asks the audience "Do you want to sing with me?" and commented the result with "completely beautiful". Both Queen ancestors captivate with their charming style - no trace of arrogance. "Pretty hot here," says Roger Taylor, for example, just before "Under Pressure" and alludes to the well-known sample of the song - "Ice, Ice Baby" by rapper Vanilla Ice.
Initially unknown songs, later hit to hit Overall, the setlist is a veritable string of hits and even bigger hits. It becomes clear again how versatile and successful the compositions of Mercury, May and Taylor were. Only at the beginning there are some lesser-known songs to be heard, but it does not take long before the first musical highlights follow with "Bicycle Race", "Killer Queen" and "Another One Bites The Dust". Of course, "Radio Ga Ga" or "We Will Rock You" are also missing in the repertoire.
Adam Lambert, who was just born, when Queen has already celebrated world successes, are the long drawn vocal parts in "Who Wants To Live Forever" or "Somebody To Love" very much and his strengths in these pieces are already evidence of his former work as a musical actor. Otherwise, the compared to May and Taylor is still very young musician just entertaining and also has fashionable again and again his own little appearance with flashy outfits, which are bursting with glitter, gold and silver from head to toe. This is crowned literally in the grand finale at "We Are The Champions": With glittering crown and golden robe complete with silver two-piece under it puts the dazzling Americans to the end actually something on it.
Like a cover band of their own hits Overall, the concert seems a bit like the appearance of a cover band. But she just does not play the hits of other greats in the music business, but covers almost their own songs. Queen + Adam Lambert celebrate their great lead singer Freddie Mercury, but also themselves - and thousands of fans in the arena in the Volkspark celebrate more than two hours enthusiastically.
