Hump Day With Adam Lambert: They Are The Champions
by snicks | March 12, 2014
Disembodied hands are the new must-have fashion accessory of the season
On this week’s Hump Day with Adam Lambert, he gives us a reason to clear our summer schedules.
Adam dropped a major bombshell late last week with the announcement that he and Queen will be embarking on a North American summer tour. It will start in Chicago on June 19th, and conclude on July 20th in D.C. Tickets go on sale Friday! (or see his tweets below)
Here’s the official Queen response

Adam Lambert prepares for summer tour with Queen
12/03 15:29 CET
From appearing in the reality show ‘American Idol’ to fronting the rock band Queen on a US tour – Adam Lambert’s career is on the rise.
Since taking the runner-up spot in the eighth series of the popular US TV show, the singer songwriter has won international acclaim in many quarters with his rich tenor voice.
His albums and single releases have brought him praise while his showmanship and theatrical style have become his signature during live performances.
But he admits following in the footsteps of Freddie Mercury – regarded by many as the greatest rock band front-man – has not been easy.
“At first it was a little daunting when we did our first incarnation of this. I definitely felt apprehensive. Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest singers that ever lived, and he’s a big idol for me, and I thought to myself, you know I hope that the fans dig this, you know, because there is a possibility that they wouldn’t. And it felt really good. The reception was warm, the press reaction to it the first time was very warm,” he said.
Replacing the man who created a special synergy with live audiences across the globe was always going to spark criticism.
Original band members Roger Taylor and Brian May defender their choice saying they are happy with the new partnership.
“If you concentrate on the negative you’re not going to get anywhere. It’s very important to have your focus, and you play to people who want to hear us. Anyone that doesn’t want to hear us, thanks, goodbye. No problem,” said Brian May.
It will not be the first time that Lambert has fronted the band. He performed with Queen at last year’s iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas and on a European tour in 2012 when Lambert got his larynx round such hits as ‘We are the Champions’ and ‘We will rock you’.
The 19-date US tour kicks off on June 19 in Chicago and ends on July 20 in Washington DC.

This keeps popping up “with Lambert in place of Freddie Mercury”
3.13.14 by Q3
I have noticed that a lot of reports are starting to include a line something like...."with Adam Lambert as Freddie Mercury". Here's one example:
….the band's announcement that they would be embarking on an extensive tour with Adam Lambert. The 19 date run will see them travel across America with Lambert in place of Freddie Mercury.

The origin of Queen’s “God Save The Queen”
3.13.2014 by Q3
Over the past week, I have been thinking a lot about what makes a “Queen concert”. What are the essential people, songs and rituals?
As most people know, Queen concerts end with a special version of “God Save The Queen’. I knew it was not part of the concerts I saw in 1974, and that it was when they returned to the US in early 1975. I wondered where this tradition began.
Of course, as with almost everything about Queen, fans have carefully documented history and artifacts. In this case, I came across a stunning piece written by a Queen fan that explains the whole story. Here it is.

The Forgotten History of a Queen Track
by Patrick Lemieux
It was October of 1974.
Queen had just finished recording their third studio album, Sheer Heart Attack. The lead-off single, “Killer Queen,” had reached #2 in the UK singles charts. Its AA-side, “Flick Of The Wrist,” would go virtually unnoticed, but that would not stop the single from becoming the big breakthrough the band had been looking for to follow the success of their previous hit “Seven Seas Of Rhye,” off Queen II.
Getting to this point had not been easy. Their debut album, Queen, met with limited attention, as did their first single, “Keep Yourself Alive,” which failed to chart in 1973. “Seven Seas Of Rhye” was a hit at #10 in the UK, but the parent album received mixed reviews by music critics in the early days of 1974. Queen were undaunted and pressed on with a tour promoting Queen II, venturing for the first time to North America to support Mott The Hoople in the spring. Their involvement was cut short when guitarist Brian May developed Hepatitis, nearly lost his arm and had to be hospitalized, all after a dirty needle was used to give him an inoculation for the band’s trip to Australia, administered back in January. Brian recovered and joined the band in the studio to finish Sheer Heart Attack through the summer and early fall of that year.
October also saw the band record its fifth BBC session at Maida Vale 4 Studios in London, where they augmented and added to the earlier studio recordings of four tracks from the album (“Now I’m Here,” “Stone Cold Crazy,” “Flick Of The Wrist” and “Tenement Funster”). However, another tour was looming, scheduled to start at the end of the month and looking to stretch well into the following year. The album itself was already mixed, mastered and sent to get pressed. Everything was ready for Sheer Heart Attack and its tour to carry the band to what they hoped would be that final push needed to establish them as a musical force to be reckoned with.
Yet, Brian had one last ingredient in mind. It was something he’d been toying with for a while. On the cool Saturday of October 27th, Brian had booked some studio time with engineer Mike Stone. He had an idea to record an arrangement of Britain’s national anthem, “God Save The Queen,” to use as a closing piece for the concerts in the upcoming tour. It was regal enough, and Queen were just ballsy enough, for it to work. With drummer Roger Taylor’s overdubs, the track was completed that day and taken on the road for the first concert of the tour three days later, on October 30th.
The tour lasted until May 1st of 1975. It was a success and Queen even filmed their appearance at the Rainbow Theatre, London, in November of 1974, following Sheer Heart Attack’s release. January had seen a second UK hit from the album in “Now I’m Here.” Elektra Records in the US were working to carry the band’s success further with another US single release in the summer. Roger Taylor, in the May 24th, 1975, issue of Record Mirror, mentioned that “In America, they’re going to put “Keep Yourself Alive” out again.” The band went into the studio in June and re-recorded “Keep Yourself Alive.” This recording was shelved and Elektra instead re-issued their earlier 1973 edit of the original Queen album version. In preparation for the single’s release, an interesting thing occurred, a curiosity mostly overlooked in Queen biographies and discographies.
The single’s A-side was “Keep Yourself Alive,” despite Elektra not using Queen’s 1975 re-recording (which later became known as the “Long Lost Re-take”). Its B-side would contain something altogether new for fans: the 1974 recording of “God Save The Queen,” recorded the previous October for the Sheer Heart Attack Tour. It should also be noted that for this 7” single, Elektra also included the complete, uncut, non-segued version of “Lily Of The Valley,” off Sheer Heart Attack. Two B-side tracks on one 7” and one of the tracks was effectively a new release, exclusive to the US market. “God Save The Queen,” upon the release of the “Keep Yourself Alive” single in North America, was, for all intents and purposes, a non-album track at that point. The recording had more to do with the Sheer Heart Attack album, by way of the reason it was recorded at all (to close out each concert on that tour), than how Queen fans tend to remember it.
Elektra Records released the re-issued “Keep Yourself Alive” 7” single in the US in July of 1975, but it failed again to have any real chart success. Between August and November of 1975, Queen recorded their fourth album, A Night At The Opera. The band went all out on this album, an all or nothing bid to try everything they could think of in terms of studio production. “Bohemian Rhapsody” would turn out to be the piece de resistance of A Night At The Opera. It was the album’s lead-off single, garnering the band their first #1 UK hit, released October 31st of 1975, before the album itself was fully completed. When it came to the eventual track listing for the album, “Rhapsody” found itself closing Side Two. Everything on the album built up to the epic hit track at the end. None of the songs recorded for the album, as good or great as they were, seemed convincing enough to following Freddie Mercury’s masterpiece.
Except that there was a track recorded a year before, little over a minute long and entirely instrumental.
“God Save The Queen” would reprise its role as a true closer not just for concerts but for this album. It was the only logical choice the band had and the recording made in October of 1974 had yet to appear on an album. Since July, it had been a rare non-album track, Queen’s second at the time, following “See What A Fool I’ve Been,” the B-side to “Seven Seas Of Rhye.” If Queen had not thought to use it, or had recorded an equally fitting track to end A Night At The Opera, this recording of “God Save The Queen” might have remained among the list of non-album tracks in Queen’s catalogue, becoming a collectable on par with “A Human Body” and “Soul Brother,” to name a few. Instead, Queen re-mixed the October, 1974, recording. The original single version starts with the track at full volume, where the mix on Opera fades in, shaving off a few seconds. This means that the single version is still collectable for those fans interested in tracks which differ from the known album versions. So, like the unique version of “Lily Of The Valley,” “God Save The Queen” as it appears on the 1975 “Keep Yourself Alive” single is still sought after. It represents the original form of the recording and encapsulates a five month period where it was effectively a new, non-album Queen track.
Because it closes A Night At The Opera so perfectly, because the original single was fairly rare (and still is), and because Brian May himself only recently enlightened Queen fandom about why he made the recording in the first place, it’s easy to overlook the original context of their version of “God Save The Queen,” and to assume it was a part of Opera all along.
Perhaps it’s overstating the importance of 1 minute and 14 seconds of music among the hundreds of hours Queen recorded, but “God Save The Queen” stands as a look into the organic nature of the band’s recording and album-crafting process. It’s a journey made by the track over the course of a year, whereby it eventually found a home on what could be argued is Queen’s definitive album.
And it still closes Queen concerts well into the 21st Century. Not bad for a track recorded in a day back in October of 1974.

I think Freddie would love this…
3.13.14 by Q3
Many people try to figure out what Freddie would have said and done. I avoid this because Freddie often did or said the unexpected. But I will walk out on a limb on this one.....I am pretty sure this would make Freddie laugh.
Adam (in a funny voice): “I love Queen, because I am a Queen and will always be a Queen”
Singoff: Should we expect a rumble in Vancouver?
3.13.14 by Q3
I don’t there will be a real sing-off but this little tidbit from a Vancouver BC news blog made me smile. And it made me play a bit of what if.....
Paul Rodgers fans should note that he just announced a show at Richmond's River Rock Show Theatre, set for June 26. Coincidentally, that's just two days before Queen—the band he toured and recorded with a few years back—plays Rogers Arena, with Adam Lambert as singer this time around.
Who knows. Maybe Rodgers—who's been known to haunt the South Surrey/White Rock area—will crash the Queen gig to show Lambert what old-school blues-belting is all about!

"Red House" could be the most covered blues songs ever because it is a guitar showcase song. I found hundreds of covers posted online. Here is the original by Jimi Hendrix Experience in case you are not familiar with this song or perhaps you do not know what 12-bar blues sounds like.
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Red House Live at Stockholm, Sweden
This is from January 9, 1969. More about this TV Show here www.panicstream.net/vault/jimi-hendrix-experience-1091969-stockholmsweden/
Note: Jimi spends the first two minutes tuning his guitar. He starts to sing at 5:06.
Now for the two covers. Both were first performances. Queen + PR had been playing “Red House” in sound checks for a few weeks before the performance. Adam and his band had worked on it the day of the performance.
Queen + Paul Rodgers performing Jimi Hendrix’s “Red House”
(Vancouver, BC, Queen & Paul Rodgers North American Tour, April 13, 2006)
Adam with his touring band performing Jimi Hendrix’s “Red House”
(December 31, 2014 WinStar Casino, Thackerville, OK.)
I just listened to all three – back to back.
The guitars are not hard to rank – Jimi wins by a mile. But I think Tommy Joe [who is not anywhere close to the musician that Brain May, but few guitarists are] does a surprisingly credible job. I give Dr. Bri that nod for #2 but it was not exactly a fair fight.
But for the vocals, all both cover versions have good points. I like Adam’s non-traditional "blues diva" performance the best. It is not a traditional take on blues, and lacks the air (space) that a slow blues song usually has, but the emotion is in the right space. Paul Rodgers opts for a more traditional take done within the British blues tradition and incorporates more of a “rock” sensibility in the vocals (as does Queen), and the raw, gritty vocal that emerged in London in the 1960's. Just my personal taste, I will take Adam on the vocal duel.
Of course, this was not exactly a fair fight. Adam was blessed with a unique vocal talent and X-Plus. Paul Rodgers was 56 years old and had been singing for 40 years in 2006.
Setlist Blues Fantasy
I was thinking about the upcoming tour setlist, and blues songs, and had a great idea.
Over the years, Queen has covered a lot of Elvis music. I am not expecting any for the upcoming tour because that music is so old, but I have been wanting an Adam-Elvis moment for over 5 years.
And I would like to have Queen + Adam cover a blues song. The interplay between Brian’s guitar and Adam’s vocal is something I want to here.
Well I figured out how I can get my cake and eat it too! They can cover an Elvis Presley blues song.
My pick “Trouble” (ignore the horns)

3. Strive to be funny, entertaining or informative when you post. Avoid posting something that has already been posted.
