I don't usually pay much attention to the critics, but now I'm curious. But not curious enough to turn off my ad blocker! lol Can you tell me what he said? It's difficult since there are a lot of tweets. But from what I could copy and paste: The legendary guitarist, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Queen in 2001, particularly took issue with the “tribute band” label I used to describe his current touring outfit. “I have to say that being called a ‘tribute band’ by some half-assed critic in the local paper is an insult I will not quickly forget,” May posted on Instagram. “We don’t need your condescension, Sonny Jim. That’s my life’s work you’re dismissing there.” It should be noted that the review was positive overall, filled with such comments as “the music sounded pretty great as Lambert, the two longtime Queen rockers — guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor — and their sidemen opened the show with ‘Now I’m Here’ and then continued through such gold nuggets as ‘Somebody to Love,’ ‘Keep Yourself Alive’ and ‘Killer Queen.'” Yet, those type of compliments were apparently lost on May. “I guess you’re the only one who didn’t really ’get it’ in that wonderful rockin’ crowd tonight in the good ol’ SAP Center,” he continued in the post. May wasn’t the only one who wasn’t happy with the “tribute band” comment. It also riled up several fans, who let their dissatisfaction be known on social media. There are also a lot of comments on the review itself agreeing with Brian.

Q3......Enjoy your show and we definitely expect a nice, long recap from you! :D
I remember it was about this hot back two years ago when I went to PHX....just awful. The only sites we saw were the hotel and the venue. Looks like a different venue and location this time around...but the awful heat is the same.

I get to see the show tonight -- and have managed to avoid all the videos so far. That San Jose finale is really, really tempting. But I will wait for the hottest concert of the QAL Tour tonight! (Literally, the hottest show -- Phoenix will be 115 degree today). Wasn't it Phoenix last go-around that was so hot that some planes were being grounded? 120 or so? I hate!!!!! hot weather so neither Arizona nor Florida will ever be on my places-to-retire-to list lol. Have fun tonight

Looks like Javi is holding up his hand to say Don't put that old man filter on me....lol. I feel like Adam will be a much more handsome fella when he's old that that darn filter. It's creepy! Plus I'm sure the hair and beard color won't be the standard natural gray.....and there's all kinds of botox and fillers..lol
