Queen's Brian May: 'Performing with Adam Lambert has exceeded every expectation'

Queen guitarist Brian May has revealed that touring with Adam Lambert has "exceeded every expectation".

The band recently finished up an arena tour across North America and they are now heading to other regions.

Speaking on Eddie Trunk's podcast, May said that singer Lambert effortlessly brings talent and also charisma to the stage.

"It's safe to safe that it has exceeded every expectation. It is incredible. I can hardly believe what we're doing with him - it's enormous and full of joy. It's just so much joy and fun and it's very much like the old days.

"I know Freddie [Mercury] would love it - I just wish he was here enjoying it. Adam is in no way a copyist of Freddie, but he has so much of the similar kind of roots in his personality. He doesn't have to try to be funny or camp or whatever. And apparently he doesn't have to try to have an extraordinary voice."

8 'Ring of Fire' Covers Ranked: From Alan Jackson to Frank Zappa, From Blondie to Adam Lambert


01) Adam Lambert off American Idol (2009)

This version of Cash's classic shocked audiences and confused judges during Lambert's 2009 run on American Idol, a show where contestants more often than not simply spit back nearly identical versions of the hit songs they're performing. Lambert performed the track for the "Grand Ole Opry" episode and made his version decidedly not Nashville. "Ring Of Fire" has a certain international feel thanks to its Mexican horns, and Lambert's cover maintains the foreign essence while changing the culture completely. He adopts an oud as his backing track and performs his vocals accordingly. A cover that's totally respectful and yet totally unique to its origins. You can tell it's great because of these introspects from the judges who we've learned to distrust: "It was strange...it left me confused." -Kara DioGuardi..."I thought it was absolute indulgent rubbish." -Simon Cowell..."If Nine Inch Nails did a country song..." -Randy Jackson.
