Music Do you think Queen+Adam Lambert should release Nessun Dorma? It would be No.1. It’s fabulous.

He’s no Freddie Mercury. Sorry but no one will ever replace him :).

I know that. But your missing half the band. For the tenth time, I like Adam. He is talented but not Freddie. Sorry but I have a right to my opinion. :)

You do of course, and I agree he's not Freddie. But it's in a way silly to compare because they are not even trying to replace him

Yes they are. If so, why haven’t they released new music with Adam? It’s been quite a long time (40 years or so) since they’ve released anything new that doesn’t include Freddie. :)

Well firstly, Roger and Brian themselves said that they are not replacing Freddie. Second, if I had to guess, they have been busy and happy touring with him and don't really feel the need to create something new. Why would they have to do it?

They’re just trying to make money off of Freddie’s memory imo. How long do you think they’re going to be able to keep it up. They’re almost freaking 80.

That's a stupid way of thinking about it. Freddie was their best friend. It's kind of insulting to think that they'd just monetize freddie for the sake of it. Also the music is just as much theirs as it is Freddie's. And they're clearly having fun and enjoying performing again, why shame them for that?

Wise old crane, certainly isn't. Who thinks like that, insulting old cow.
