a nice post from the OIQFC fb - someone (nic42?) wanted to see Adam in the crest temporarily - so here he is :

Thought I'd share my theory on Adam Lambert. Freddie made the QUEEN crest out of the star signs from the band. That covers the lions, crab and the fairies. Often times, I myself overlook the pheonix behind it all because it blends so smoothly in the image. Those of you familiar with the story of the pheonix know that this bird flies to incredible heights and when it's time comes, it burns up in beautiful flames only to be reborn from its own ashes. I saw this photo of Adam and I thought to myself how he himself represents that pheonix in the QUEEN crest Freddie made. He's bringing this music back to the stadiums it deserves to be in. He's giving our boys a new tour and a new youth. I'm a firm believer in the "everything happens for a reason" motto. Obviously Freddie didn't draw it out thinking it would stand for Adam because Adam wasn't around back then- but I can't help but think it's very fitting and perhaps it's exactly what the pheonix is- a new life (even if it may be a short one-as freddie's had been) for the band. Just the late night ramblings of an old man, but it made me smile.

Slam Bert stole Queens show
Incredible Adam Lambert raised his legacy of Freddie Mercury in front of 15,000 in Herning

Queen without Freddie Mercury? Is not it pointless as Gasolin 'without Kim Larsen, beer without alcohol or football without the ball?

It would think, but the reality was different in Herning Sunday evening when Adam Lambert strolled around in the legendary front man's big footsteps and kicked, bulging and song new life into one of rock's most beloved bands.

Completely in Queens extravagant spirit became a wild, flamboyant and hysterical tribute to the British amazing feats from primarily heyday in the 1970s, and if anyone needed reminding that the quartet had many hits, so were you reminded of Jyske Bank BOX.

The arena had been sold out since November, and 15,000 merrily tiljublende audiences got the expected schlager parade with more served as rock theater wearing high heels and even higher hair.

Hopelessly 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, for his bombastic lirede guitar playing was also to recognize.

Personage had not needed 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 was May troth watery eyes at the sight of his old friend, and it seemed to say the least pathetic.

A painful solo guitar stunt on well up against a neighborhood felt like a quarter, and there was probably more fun out on the windswept parking lot.

Paradoxically missed also slamberten Lambert as Taylor unnecessary muttered 'These Are the Days of Our Lives' and 'A Kind of Magic', which was very, very little magic in a very disjointed performance at 140 minutes .

Midway was the assembly subjected to a bland bass solo, and even a drum battle between Taylor and his son Rufus, who could not steal the show from another lad, charismatic Lambert.

Majestic karaoke
The former 'American Idol' participant from Indianapolis owned simply stage and already initially squealed tenor terrific versions of glorious' Fat Bottomed Girls 'irresistible' Another One Bites the Dust 'and a Queens hardest rock songs,' Stone Cold Crazy '.

In a classic studded finale culminated nostalgia 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 damn good, and when it was bad, it was fucking bad, but all in all it was a kind of majestic karaoke with dramaqueenen Lambert who triumphed.

One of those evenings where this stuff, and you do not really believe your eyes and ears.

SLAMBERT. That's a keeper.

I was reading this article about Queen: www.rollingstone.com/music/news/queens-tragic-rhapsody-20140707?page=2

And found this quote from Freddie Mercury: 

"What you must understand," he once told another singer, "is that my voice comes from the energy of the audience. The better they are, the better I get."
