Q3 - Just for the record, I'd love to see Paul come back for that one night and jam with QAL. I mean I feel Queen fans owe him a debt since his singing was able to get the Queen engine rolling again for four years! The QPR show I went to was the best show I'd ever seen! And I think he gets too much flak at times. He did a good job with some great moments during the gigs...and I LOVED hearing Brian and Roger's work to beef up some of the Bad Company tracks like Feel Like Makin' Love. BUT I don't think it will happen. Fun to speculate about. There was a recent interview with Paul (posted on Brian's site) where he talked about his time with Queen and he made it clear that his time there had come to an end and though he had in the past made comments that he may do it again, I don't think he'd do it now. He did say he was happy to see the big Queen machine rolling again. Come on Talon.. Some folks are confused with Adam as lead singer.. IMHO JUST NO to Paul.,he had his time with Queen, This time belongs to Adam Lambert..Hugs anyway... I didn't realize that Paul had sung as frontman for Queen for so long.....Although I'm not too interested in seeing Paul share the stage with Adam, I can see where this type of "duel" may prove interesting. Not that the two singers would duel it out but the fans would certainly go there. They both (Adam, Paul) bring such different elements to the equation. Personally, I think that anyone chosen to sing along brings their own interpretation and as a fan I may prefer one over the other but I still fail to see it as a competition. I was happy to read that Paul was gracious in his comments towards the tour. I think the big difference is that Queen nor Adam are looking for anything close to a 4-year commitment - the times they are a changin'. I'm glad I get the opportunity to see a show - it's been a long time. |

can someone/anyone explain to me why people not only track Adam's likes on instrgram but also apparently "watermark" their capture of said likes as if that's their property? That seems really odd to me and honestly kind of scary to track Adam that closely. |

I'm glad I get the opportunity to see a show - it's been a long time. Oh they weren't *LOOKING* for a 4 year commitment with Paul either. It was organic. They played at a Hall of Fame Induction and decided to see what would happen. They toured the Europe (and 2 dates in the US and 6 in Japan) in 2005, decided to bring the tour to North American in 2006, then proceeded to do a studio album which was released in 2008 and they toured Europe and South America one last time in 2008 before going their separate ways in 2009. In 2007 Paul snuck in a solo tour and a few gigs with his old band. I could see something similar with Adam, perhaps even longer simply because it'd be more hit and run with Adam doing his thing. I would not be surprised at all if we looked back much later on in the decade and see that they did the EMA thing in 2011, did a brief tour of Europe/UK in 2012, the iheart in 2013 a full NA tour in 2014, Adam releases A3 and does an A3 tour, then maybe works with Queen again on a European or South American Tour sometime late in 2015 or early 2016 if they still like each other  an album in later 2016, early 2017 or so. See because to me it's similar to Paul. They start small. They do a bigger tour and find out if they still like each other and after that they conquered the tour thing. After that, an album of studio material would be the next challenge and I wouldn't be surprised that after A3 or what not that he wouldn't want to work in the studio with Brian and Roger and learn their studio techniques... |

He did say he was happy to see the big Queen machine rolling again. I had my tongue squarely in my cheek! Seriously, I compared Tommy Joe to Jimi Hendrix and Brian May. ** I was mocking this line from the article, "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!
"** I have nothing against Paul Rodgers but the writer describing Paul Rodgers a "old-school blues-belting" demonstrates two things: 1. He has limited knowledge of "old-school blues-belting". 2. He has limited knowledge of Adam and "miss thang" -- his inner black diva. 3. He has never been to Mississippi. Paul Rodgers deserves respect as a singer-songwriter, and particularly as an important rock vocalist. But the idea of Paul Rodgers representing "old-school blues-belting" is laughable. And it there is one thing that Paul cannot teach Adam, it would be how to use his register to convey emotion. Adam has mastered that and moved beyond any pop or rock singer I have ever heard live. *** Did Paul get Queen back out touring? I had the impression that Brian and Rodger wanted to go back on tour and Paul was a singer with enough credibility to make it happen. ** I did not see Q+PR live but I did watch the live concert recording. My take is that Queen + Adam Lambert is a very different experience. I prefer Adam's interpretation of Queen's catalog but I can understand if there are fans who prefer Paul's more classic-rock approach with the roughness and growl. For me, I prefer the glorious clear notes, the power vocals and the theatrically and fun Adam brings. I will be very interested in seeing your review of the upcoming concert after you see and hear Adam live. There is no way to replicate his voice in recordings. Fingers crossed that they get the sound for this concert right -- these arenas can be tough. But Queen has always had one of the best tech crews so my expectations are high. |

About 'God save the Queen' at the end of all the Queen concerts. I believe Brian's intention for including it was tongue in cheek. Prior to the seventies 'God save the Queen' was played at the end of every movie shown at any movie theatre in Britain and most Commonwealth countries. The audience was expected to stand for the National Anthem. With a collective groan the audience would stand. During the 60's the public became less royalist. They resented having to stand for the anthem so would bolt out the door as soon as the credits rolled or stand and sing along very badly. This was making a mockery of the National Anthem so the practice of playing it stopped.
I have vague recollections of Brian explaining this in a interview somewhere. I'm just old enough to remember having to stand and the joke it became.

It is a bit annoying IMO because most fans just share info without all this personal branding. |
