Critics silenced as Queen rocks Rod Laver in sold-out show
THANKS to social media, we have seen a lot of people really bothered by Queen continuing to exist, now with guest singer Adam Lambert. None of those people were in the sold out Rod Laver Arena tonight. These ticket holders weren’t debating how this technically wasn’t Queen (Mercury died in 1991, bassist John Deacon retired in 1997), or whether founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor should still be trading as Queen. WATCH: Laga Gaga joins Queen on stage Instead the fans were exactly doing what May and Taylor were doing — wildly enjoying themselves. Within minutes you focus less on who isn’t there rather who is — May is one of the all time rock guitar heroes whose work is instantly identifiable and nothing has changed. And Lambert plugs into Queen perfectly, if anything dialling down his theatricality...slightly. He may be having the most fun of all; reviving Queen’s catalogue in a huge arena with decadent production is an incredible and challenging gift for any singer.

jake.mccombe 14 minutes ago · Rod Laver Arena Got the chance to see Queen + @adamlambert tonight, first time they've played in Australia in 35 years. While I was there I picked up a plectrum that Brian May used in rehearsal before the show which is pretty cool. At the end of the show there was a humongous golden confetti nuke bomb which covered the whole stadium in gold... Best concert ever #queen #adamlambert #rare #brianmay

I love this line the best! "Watching Queen songs move the masses in 2014 (with plenty of the audience in their 20s or younger) reinforces just how timeless their biggest hits remain. And for the haters vintage Queen is just a Google away."
