TRANSLATION OF HERNING REVIEW, TY BB RT @lovenhardt1: @devenlane Sure! www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1skn9cg?new_post=true …
Translated review of the concert in Herning.
Slambert stole the show from Queen. (Slambert is a pun, and it has a fond touch to it. The closest I can translate it to is rascal)
Incredible Adam Lambert raised the legacy of Freddie Mercury in front of 15,000 in Herning.
Queen without Freddie Mercury? Wouldn’t it be just as pointless as Gasolin (Danish rockband) without Kim Larsen, beer without alcohol or football without the ball?
You would think so, but the reality was different in Herning Sunday evening when Adam Lambert pranced around in the legendary front man's big footsteps and kicked, strutted and sang new life into one of rock's most beloved bands.
Completely in threat with Queen’s extravagant spirit it became a wild, flamboyant and hysterical tribute to the British’s amazing accomplishments, primarily from their golden days in the 1970s, and if anyone needed reminding that the quartet had many hits, you were reminded in Jyske Bank BOXEN.
The arena had been sold out since November, and the 15,000 merrily cheering people in the audience got the expected hit parade and more served as rock theater wearing high heels and even higher hair.
Hopeless guitar stunt.
Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor are the only remaining members of the original crew, and it was not only the former's famous poodle yarn that was fairly intact, his bombastic guitar playing was also to recognize.
However, he didn’t need to sing a half sickening 'Love of My Life' in duet with Mercury, which suddenly appeared on the big screen. More than 23 years after the legend's death and May still got watery eyes at the sight of his old friend, and it seemed pathetic.
A painful guitar solo stunt that lasted close to 15 min felt like a quarter of a year, and there was probably more fun to have out on the windswept parking lot.
Paradoxically, we missed the rascal Lambert as Taylor unnecessary muttered through 'These Are the Days of Our Lives' and A Kind of Magic, which was very, very little magic in a very disjointed performance of 140 min.
Half way through, the audience was subjected to a bland bass solo, and even a drum battle between Taylor and his son Rufus, but there was nothing that could steal the show from another lad, the charismatic Lambert.
Majestic karaoke
The former 'American Idol' contestant from Indianapolis simply owned the stage and right from the start the tenor squealed terrific versions of glorious Fat Bottomed Girls, irresistible Another One Bites the Dust and one of Queen’s hardest rock songs, Stone Cold Crazy.
In a finale filled with classics the nostalgia culminated in the form of potent versions of the massive I Want It All, bold Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and the incomparable Bohemian Rhapsody with Mercury back on the big screen.
When it was good, it was fucking good, and when it was bad, it was fucking bad, but all in all it was a kind of majestic karaoke with drama queen Lambert who triumphed.
It was one of those evenings where reality is better than fantasy, and you didn’t really believe your eyes and ears.
