#queen and Adam lambert

[bijouxcarys]

It royally pisses me off when people complain about Brian and Roger continuing with Adam Lambert.

Freddie Mercury was not Queen. Queen is not Freddie Mercury.

Brian wrote at least 63 Queen songs. Roger wrote at least 31. John wrote at least 23. They have every right to do what they want with it.

Not only that, but people tend to forget that Freddie didn’t found Queen. He changed the name to Queen, but Brian and Roger were already there. That group has always been Brian and Roger’s.

Don’t twist my words, I’m well aware that a large part of Queen’s success is because of Freddie and his charisma and talent. I’m not stupid. But I think it’s ignorant to suggest that they should just not tour anymore and not perform the music that’s shaped their lives??

Brian would go crazy if he didn’t tour. His life is his work, and vice versa. Anyone who knows anything about him would know how important it is for his well-being to keep working.

As for them “replacing” Freddie—fucking where, bitch? They’re not touring as Queen. They’re touring as Queen + Adam Lambert. John is still involved in the business aspects, regardless of the fact that he doesn’t speak to Brian and Roger anymore.

Plus, Spike has been working with them since 1984, at least, as a second guitarist, keyboardist, and technician. And Neil is a BEAST of a bassist on his own.

So comments like “I respect that Zeppelin backed down after Bonham’s death, but I can’t say the same about Queen”, implying there’s a loss of respect for the simple fact that musicians want to continue doing their job, despite the fact that they didn’t even perform as Queen again for YEARS, is plain ignorance. Nothing more, nothing less.

So again… Queen is, and always has been, so much more than just Freddie Mercury. And he would say the exact same.

The quiet one and yet, the loudest with his eyes and bass.

No matter that your choice was to live a more peaceful life off stage for you'll always be the solid ground that made the Queen-castle possible!

Happy birthday Deacy, we love you 🤍

Thought I'd just go ahead and share this clip of me losing my shit at the Q+AL concert in Nashville almost four months ago <3

Adam Lambert is 🌟🌟🌟🤩

I just want to say: how lifelong-cringe-embarrassing for the guy who "beat" Adam Lambert on American Idol 🎤 How does he live it down?! 😂

Adam sang this at a concert with Queen the next day, and it is the best rendition-live or recorded- that I have ever heard.

It's been 7 years.

Thought I’d share some of the photos I took when I went to see QAL last year in May. I was very fortunate to get a barrier spot, and I got to see my guitar god up close… if you ever get a chance to see them, take the opportunity. I have a feeling they won’t be going for much longer…
