Regarding the press coverage at the top of the thread, I don't know why any Queen fans would be upset at Adam hitting higher notes than Freddie in a live setting. Roger always took the high notes when they went on tour, while playing drums, to boot! Without Adam, we Queen fans would just be in our corner, listening to the old stuff over and over again. Now we have a beautiful, glorious choice, and Adam has not only lit a fire under Brian and Roger, but also under the rest of the world. We get new interpretations. If I'm feeling like some old-school, I'll listen to Freddie. When I want a jolt of rafters-high glam rock, I listen to Adam. My heart is big enough for both. Also, why wasn't Adam listed in the Best Concert Outfits of 2014? His fringe from STL alone should have made the list. You took the words right out of my mouth. I love them both! I can literally go from "Father to Son" on Live at the Rainbow to any of the Adam stuff, with "Love Kills" and WWTLF being my personal favorites. I go back and forth all the time.

I'm wondering if Adam has moved beyond A3 by this time. I mean it's been awhile since the Max Martin summer camp, and Adam evolves so quickly in his musical tastes, I'm hoping he still loves the music by the time he gets to perform it.
I think QAL is good for Adam since his label is biding it's time and staging its release.

As far as I can tell, Queen fans are not upset by what Brian said and there are not masses of irate Queenies with pitchforks storming Brian's house. Seems like these are headlines that are designed to generate comments and clicks but there is not controversy here. Adam hits some high notes in full voice that sound like no one else. He is indeed a "Freak of Nature". And I mean that in a good way! Adam is too good to Since Hammersmith 2012 I have been lurking and sometimes writing on Queenonlineforum. I have an impression that Queen fans are worried about Freddie's legacy. Adam is too good to override

Adam is too good to override I lurk but do not post on QOL and I agree that their vitriol towards Adam seems to come from a place of fear rather than authentic dislike for his singing. Adam brings these songs back to life fully and completely and he does it across the catalog unlike others who were limited in the songs they could perform adequately. I think they (erroneously) believe that Adam will somehow usurp Freddie's legacy as the master frontman of Queen.
I loved what Brian said in that interview about today's Queen obviously not being the same as the original but how he and Roger playing together does allow the "stamp of Queen" to be placed on it because they helped build that legacy as much as Freddie and John.

Glitter, I so much agree with you! The word "usurp" (have to look dictionary) is the word I was searching
