I think that's Adam saying "Sorry, carry on" as well as the "Whatttt!!" So did the stay in NY for 2 nights and this was the easy way for them to get to tonight's location since the jet would have been overkill? I can hear "....flying" "That's pretty special" and "ya going to let me finish". |

One more old NYT Queen review tweeted by DanielNester: twitter.com/DanielNester/status/490468558040612864/photo/1 Interestingly enough, as I was looking at that musician's perspective thread in Queenzone www.queenzone.com/forums/1389352/q-and-al-a-musicians-perspective.aspx?page=5, I discovered DanielNester is a long time member and he wrote this: One of the many levels of irony to peel off in these QAL discussions is how some in the anti-Lambert camp refer to negative reviews to point out that not everyone loves Queen + Adam Lambert. While that's true, it's also true that rock critics--in particular the more traditional ones, who are on staff at the big-city papers--have always hated Queen, and made big sport in coming up with new ways of insulting them. The small town writers are usually covering several beats and likely haven't gotten the memo from Rock Critic Central that Queen are horrible.to which the OP responded: Bang on. Most reviews of Queen shows from 1974-80 ranged from lukewarm to downright hostile and personal. Only by 1982 did these guys seem to finally "get it." But at the end of the day, Queen were just too British and not one-dimensional for these critics get their heads around. They want to compartmentalize things into a box, a nice easy to understand category. This is why Queen never really fit the mold of an American rock scene with The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Springsteen. Daniel is going to his 3rd show tonight. |

So many of the old reviews that have been posted bring memories of many of Adam's reviews on his own music. Edit: or what Cassie says (so much better) below. |

This is why Queen never really fit the mold of an American rock scene with The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Springsteen. Daniel is going to his 3rd show tonight. This coincides with something I've been thinking about today. Within the 2.5 hour show, Adam takes on multiple front man personas. He starts out with the tough, metal, motor cycle dude (who just happens to have this amazing voice instead of a hoarse, cigarette tainted gravel). He exits the stage and comes back as this over-the-top, campy, theatrical, glam-rock character who just stepped off the Broadway stage (who just happens to have this amazingly powerful broadway voice). Exit staqe left and re-enter as this rather normal looking, modest, humble crooner (who just happens to sing the rock version of opera arias). Act 4 sees Adam as, what? I haven't quite pegged that one yet. A front man of a rock band, I guess (who just happens to use this powerful voice like the Pied Piper leading his audience in a crazy call and response). For the encore, Adam reappears fully developed as the new leopard king, acknowledging the love of his new subjects (while just happening to sing the plaster off the walls of the arena.) No wonder some critics don't know what to make of him. He is a chameleon. He is a consummate actor as well as a phenomenal singer as well as a charismatic person who looks like he should be in a grunge bar, on a Broadway stage, at the Met or in Buckingham palace. |
