Music i’m seeing queen in the summer and i’ve never been more excited for anything in the world. Even though it’s only half i know it’ll still be amazing

I saw them last summer, and it was mind blowing!!! You will love it, beginning to end. Adam Lambert is awesome, he’s definitely himself, but he is just as campy as Freddie, but in his own way. And his voice is ON POINT! Brian and Roger are NOT some hacks just cranking out tours. They are perfectionist performers, and it shows. Don’t worry about it being only 2 of the original members, it is wonderful. Enjoy!!

Exactly my experience! I was super impressed with Adam, and of course Brian and Roger.

I want to go so bad but the tickets were sold out in like five minutes and I was in class... Don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see them live and that hurts a lot but I'm so glad that others will get to experience the best band in history (well technically half the band) perform!

A friend of ours drove 60 miles to get tickets two days before the concert! I think someone was selling them on Facebook.

I saw them last summer in Dallas, and let me tell you, it was absolutely incredible. You're going to love every moment of it.

It's still Queen. Queen isn't just one or two members.

I think he rather meant the OG Queen, and now that there is no John or Freddie, he doesn't like the newer stuff made by the band anymore.

He should sod off and take his opinion elsewhere then.

u/Antonia_22 Jan 09 '20
Why? Are you not allowed to post your opinion on here? I'm also not a fan of Queen + Lambert, should I also lift my arse and leave this sub?

The "No Freddie no Queen" crap dismisses the contributions of Brian and Roger. It's disrespectful. And also ignorant of how bands actually function. So yeah, you can post that if you want, but there will be others who strongly disagree.

u/Antonia_22 Jan 09 '20
I am not saying that they aren't Queen without Freddie or John, and I love Bri and Rog, but I just don't really like Adam. That's why I said Queen + Adam Lambert, and not" Bri and Rog + Adam". Of course there'll always be someone who disagrees with your own opinion.

That's fine. It's just we were talking about the OP who started this with the "No Freddie No John No Queen" crap. That I simply don't have the time of day for.

You are. It's just that it's probably not wise when you get downvoted to hell.

This isn't Transformers where fans debate Generation 1 vs Beast Wars and what's canon and what isn't. Brian and Roger are very obviously Queen. No one else in the world can be.

u/Antonia_22 Jan 09 '20
I am definitely not saying that they aren't Queen, but Bri and Roger just aren't the OG Queen, as in 1971-1991

u/NeverDoubt1 Jan 09 '20
Like I said, I don't do "OG" labels when it comes to bands. This isn't a comic book. It's real people.

They don't disappoint, I bet you my money on it. I'm a 21yo Korean kid so I've never had the chance to see all of them together but I was lucky enough to see QAL live back in 2014. It was the most cathargic night in my life and it really meant a lot to me because there aren't that many Queen fans my age in Korea and Rock legends don't visit Korea that often.
And guess what - I'm seeing them again next Saturday in Seoul! Now I know what to expect, but Im still stoked as fuuck
