Cool. Thanks. Interesting. I like having something before WWRY/WATC for the encore...not sure I'd go with that but of course to me it's always nice to hear Fred....I still think that's the perfect place for It's Late or SYW though...
EDIT IN - Having found it on mixlr - I think it actually works better than I thought...

I think WWFM makes better sense in terms of it's a song even Queen fans probably have heard. In a sense that Queen plays the GH for the most part now, Adam in his moment should play his most well known hit. I liked Brian's work on it for sure I guess it's too much to hope that It's Late follows Bri's solo. The band sounds good. Again not wanting to sound like a broken record - I wish they'd just shake it up a bit more...In a way they are stuck in the 70s where setlists didn't travel instantaneously....so it was a surprise to most of the audience....

Hey guys - just popping in to put my $.02 on the RT quote.
A. First regarding the "rumor" posted at QZ. That was a troll. I'd bet on it. QZ gets a lot of trolls. Hell, just recently someone trolled they had a copy of an unheard gig from 1979. It was a windup that lasted for days. As much as B&R love Adam. I have a VERY hard time picturing them reshuffling anything at this point in their career. Hell, everyone I've talked to say from top to bottom their orders from on high were to keep Queen COMPLETELY separate from Queen +. To me that was a laughable non-starter rumor from the get go. I can't see it ever being anything but Queen + Adam Lambert.
B. The Roger quote? The one with one google translated source? I'd take that with a BIG grain of salt. Roger has always been the most effusive when discussions turned to recording together. He is probably the one who most wants to do it. Brian seems the most hesitant and Adam seems to be pretty okay either way. It does make sense if they want to continue touring as they've toured the world twice on basically the same set list.
He also has made the most outlandish claims before too.
1993 - John and him were going to continue Queen without Brian and were talking about touring 1997 - Queen would reform and head to the studio to record a new album 2011 - Taylor Hawkins and he are going to do a small club tour - the Taylor and Taylor tour with songs from his era, Taylor's era, and some rock standards.
(just a couple)
Now I don't think he'd lie about going to a studio BUT that's where the google translate comes into play.
I'd also find it EXTREMELY strange that they'd stop in a studio in Nashville during the tour. They have never recorded in Nashville previously. I mean mostly it's the UK and I would figure that if they wanted to start something, they'd start in one of their home studios where they control everything. AND even if they wanted to do it in the US, they mostly have recorded in Los Angeles...Nashville just strikes me as a weird choice.
***Another note - Tyler Warren is from Nashville...so it's possible they got studio info from him...OR perhaps Adam sang on a Tyler Warren recording - he works with guys in that area.***
BUT at the end of the day - BIG HEAPING grain of salt. I don't believe anything they say until there's a press release and then I half believe it til I get it in my hands.

Also agreed and I also enjoy a good back and forth that is respectful and not snarky...I mean I *CAN* snark with the best of 'em - it's refreshing not to

QAL - Live in ClevelandI don't know if this made it over here yet. This was from a Queen fan on Queenzone. He tried to do Detroit too but was caught and forced to return it to his car.... 1 outta 2 ain't bad though

Thank you for the kind words and sorry for the delay in replying. With a full-time job and a baby, it does not leave much room in the day for me to post a reply I enjoy a good discussion and love hearing different viewpoints from non-Adam fans so I always do look forward to your posts. Likewise, I really appreciate your courteous replies as well. No worries! Full time job, wife and three kids. I know the time crunch at times. I'm lucky in that I sometimes have time at work where I can sneak in a reply or two I kind of feel as if the word choice of footnote may be part of the problem here and our viewpoints on it but it's better if I tackle your comments bit by bit. Boom. We agree. Hugs. LOL. I don't disagree with your first statement at all. Adam has extended Queen's currency date by being able to tour with him. Queen and Freddie are getting or rather staying in people's heads for longer. I would even say it adds to the importance of Queen by helping to highlight B&R's contributions which Freddie often overshadowed (through no fault of his own - if you ever interview him, he'd be the first to point out the importance of the band, etc. Where we seem to disagree is how much it helps the legacy. To me it has little effect on the legacy...to me the legacy can't really be harmed (as some Queen fans seem to thing) or helped. The legacy is what it is. Now, it does perhaps help lengthen the legacy...but perhaps that is semantics. Perhaps I do underestimate it a bit. But I think sometimes you (and that's the royal you, lol) perhaps overestimate them. See the next bit. See we agree there. But I feel sometimes as if some (perhaps not you) seem to overestimate the touring so that Adam gets like 5+ chapters or something when I say the book is written, the chapters done, the story is just about over. What we're seeing now is an epilogue of sorts...of course it's a happy epilogue - a fun epilogue and perhaps one that can soften the blow for some (like myself that never got to see Queen live) but still an epilogue. I guess I see what you are saying but how can you know that? Can you really count the one Ga Ga performance against her given they probably had a day of rehearsal, etc. The truth is we have no idea how the reception would be. So to me this is a non-argument. The only argument to be made when discussing this IS how it would sell and I think that it goes without saying that it would have sold. Everything else is complete speculation. Fair enough. In fact the relative critical failure of The Cosmos Rocks, IS one of the reasons B&R are a bit hesitant to record under the Queen banner. I woudn't go crazy regarding calling themselves Queen lol. I feel extremely confident it wouldn't. Well posting the Queen Wikipedia page to me actually highlights my points more: - I did a basic word count. 18,939 words. How many are about QAL? 584. That to me IS a footnote.
- 1.1-1.7 & 1.9 are Queen. 1.8 is QPR, 1.10 is QAL
- QPR and QAL are placed under Associated Acts
- Members - Long Term Queen + Vocalists and then underneath: OTHER Guest vocalists
I guess when I say footnote I mean that at the end of the story on the history of Queen which would end with Freddie passing and the band releasing Made In Heaven. There would be a brief blurb that says: A decade later, Brian and Roger resurrected the name and toured the world with Paul Rodgers and released an album under the moniker of Queen + Paul Rodgers. After that split, Brian and Roger teamed up with Adam Lambert whose voice and performance fit the Queen mold better, and the new Queen + Adam Lambert toured the world several times over to great success. That's a footnote to the long history of Queen. It is perhaps MORE important to the current concertgoers....but I'd argue that QPR was just as important and is now considered a footnote. I guess the real answer is...we won't know the answer until the collaboration ends. I look forward to your reply
