Though it may not seem like it is the case here at Atop....... there are many Adam fans that are only able to attend one Queen+Adam concert. If you are one of those fans and the tour has started..... and there have been no guest appearances so far ( other than Bri & Rog singing their stuff while Adam takes a much deserved break).... then at your one and only show there is a guest and that guest sings the song that was at or near the top of your list to hear Adam sing .......... Would anyone still say they were ok with that? If you were lucky enough to see multiple shows, would you wish that upon someone with only one show to look forward to? I have never felt that I was entitled to anything when it comes to Adam. NOT ONE THING........ But I would be a bloody liar if I was to answer 'Yes' to either of those questions. Unless of course, for me personally, as stated earlier, if Freddie himself were to descend from heaven............ I have been lucky enough to see several QALs and plan to see several more this summer (and beyond).....and it doesn't matter how many I see, I won't ever have any real interest or engagement in any other singer with them, than Adam. i would probably be attentive to any 'guest' and clap politely but really I'd just be counting the minutes until Adam came back on or took the lead again. I felt like that about iheart though Nate was very likeable and entertaining....felt a bit cheated perhaps. I agree with this answer -- if there was a special guest singer - I would be attentive and polite and I would probably be thankful for the chance to sit down and relax a bit while Adam takes a break. ** If circa 1969-1985 Bowie could magically appear on stage with Adam and Brian and Roger -- I would be thrilled. [And if I could go back in time, and know what I know now, it would also be kind of fine.] Since Bowie is not well, and no longer performing, put me down as one fan who is happy with her memories of him as he was. No to Bowie. ** If we are going to dream, then my dream is.... Sunday, February 1, 2015 SuperBowl Halftime Show: Queen + Adam Lambert + Vampire Weekend + Imagine Dragons Classic, Pop, Indie, Alt Rock Extravganza! The game continues. No one remembers any of the commercials or who won. Sunday, February 8, 2015 Grammys' tribute to Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin + Adam Lambert -- performing WWL, Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven on the 2015 Grammy Awards.  A full 16 minute, mini-concert at the Grammys. The crowd goes crazy, they cancel the rest of the show and just play music! Now that would be a great Grammys Award show! Sunday, February 22, 2015 Academy Awards - they have an twitter vote to see who should sing the 5 nominated songs. They expect to get 5 different singers. Adam wins all 5 Twit-votes! And the let him sing all 5!! |

Avari..... My post wasn't meant to make you feel as though you were imposing your wishes on others...... just that it would ruin the experience I am imagining for myself. Can I ask two questions though ........ were you a Queen fan before you were an Adam fan? ........ would you still thoroughly enjoy two surprise guests at your show if they sang the two songs you were most hoping to hear Adam sing? I've always been an Adam fan first, and (don't tell Talon!) not a particular fan of Queen; no more so than the average person anyway. There really isn't any specific song I am desperately wishing to see Adam sing; ANYTHING I am familiar with will be fine with me. Truly. I not trying to be contrary, I just know I would totally enjoy seeing Adam share the stage once or twice. I'd like the shared energy and the comparison. And the roar of the crowd when he comes back, lol. Will I be disappointed if there are no surprise guests? Of course not, let's not get crazy here! I was a Queen fan long before Adam was born. 'News of the World' and 'Jazz' were the second and third albums I ever owned. These songs are sacred things to me. I will simply be very disappointed if anyone sings them that is NAL. I listen to almost every genre of music, purchase new music every single week and go to a few concerts every month. Most concerts I go to simply because I enjoy the music. Sometimes I'm disappointed in an artists live show and I won't go to see them live again. This Queen+Adam pairing is like winning the lottery for me. My all time favourite band with my all time (sorry Freddie I will always love you) favourite vocalist. I just can't accept someone else singing the songs I am hoping to hear him sing. I am struggling a tiny bit with the 'entitled fan' thing, because I have always frowned upon it in others, but this time I can't apologize for it because it is truly how I feel. |

I am hoping for a series of Guest Appearances along the tour. Paul Rogers is on my list. Bowie tops the list for me. I'd love to see Brian and Roger surprise Adam and the audience with a guest appearance by Bowie. #PipeDream Really? I want all Adam. Was completely unimpressed and felt having FUN guest at iHeart was unecessary! As a matter of fact, if Rodgers (or anyone) took a song away from Adam the night I was seeing my shows, I'd be pissed!
 I'd be 3x pissed
