Blog: Why Adam Lambert is the perfect man for Queen
27/06/2014 ~ by Stephen Graves

What's with all the hostility? Queen and Adam Lambert are made for each other

Queen are back on the road, with American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert stepping
into Freddie Mercury’s stiletto heels to belt out the band’s hits.

See them in concert – I have – and it’s clear that Lambert belongs with Queen.
He’s got an astonishing voice, he inhabits the band’s material while putting his own spin on it,
and he has great chemistry with Brian May and Roger Taylor on stage.
So why are some fans fuming?

Thou Shalt Not Worship False Idols

Go on Facebook or the Queen forums, and you’re greeted with a torrent of abuse.
Lambert’s a manufactured pop performer, they say, riding the coat tails of an iconic
rock band to success – and desecrating the memory of Freddie Mercury in the process.

They couldn’t be more wrong.

For one thing, Queen isn’t the first band to change its line-up;
it’s not even the first to do so in the wake of a tragic loss.
AC/DC wasted no time in replacing Bon Scott with Brian Johnson; Alice In Chains
has enjoyed critical and commercial success in the wake of Layne Staley’s death.

Ah, but Brian Johnson and William DuVall and Zakk Wylde are authentic musicians,
say the disgruntled fans. They worked their way up the old fashioned way,
instead of whoring themselves out to a reality show.

Queen fans who’ve had to suffer through West End musicals and 5ive covers may have
a conniption at the words “American Idol,” but times have changed since the
early days of the talent shows. The acts who get through to the finals
these days aren’t starry-eyed dreamers; they’re professional musicians looking for a big break.
Before appearing in Idol, Lambert trod the boards in musical theatre for a decade,
performed in bands and worked as a session musician – just like, say, a
pre-AC/DC Brian Johnson, who in 1970 could be found playing songs from
the musical Hair on the cabaret circuit.

The Great Pretender

Of course, Freddie Mercury casts a long shadow. The passage of time has
only cemented his place as one of the great frontmen of rock – but it’s
also caused fans’ attitudes to harden, convincing them that Mercury is irreplaceable.

Time also colours our memories of other acts who’ve replaced beloved members.
We tend to forget that AC/DC came in for a lot of stick for hiring
Brian Johnson – and would’ve come in for even more if Twitter had been a thing
in 1980. But nine successful albums later, hindsight paints it as just one
more chapter in the band’s history.

To younger fans who never saw Freddie Mercury live, he’s been elevated to iconic status;
replacing him seems as absurd as finding someone to fill in for Hendrix or Cobain.
To older fans, the idea that some young upstart could possibly compete with their
cherished memories of the band is unthinkable.

That, I think, is why some vocal fans demand that Queen give Lambert
the boot and reunite with former frontman Paul Rodgers. He’s a proper rocker
with a pedigree, they say. He’s from the right generation; older fans feel more
comfortable with one of their peers up there on stage.

Never mind that Rodgers always seemed uncomfortable with Queen’s flights of fancy;
you can’t picture him draped over a chaise longue, vamping through Killer Queen
as Lambert does. Even when Freddie was singing Queen’s hardest rockers, he did so
with a knowing wink – and it’s that same seam of camp that Lambert taps into.
He’s not imitating Mercury, but he’s definitely in the same orbit.




Maybe it’s time for a miracle

The reason that Queen has taken so long to find a suitable replacement
for Freddie is simple: you need a performer with a majestic voice, magisterial stage
presence and that theatrical sensibility. Trouble is, performers with that kind of talent are usually
big names in their own right. Matt Bellamy, George Michael, Lady Gaga – they
either have bands of their own, or thriving solo careers. Put simply, 
they don’t need Queen.

Neither does Lambert, really. His last album shot to #1 in the US charts,
his tours have brought in millions – and his career’s just taking off.
That Queen found an artist with that checklist of skills, who’s prepared to
hook up with a pair of ageing rockers out of love for their material,
is nothing short of miraculous.

Keep Yourself Alive

Lambert’s only performing the band’s hits, goes the complaint; he’s a karaoke act.
And it’s true that AC/DC plunged straight into the studio with Brian Johnson
– and came out with Back in Black, one of the greatest rock albums
of all time. Queen’s more cautious approach is just as valid
– but if they don’t get Lambert in the studio, they risk being seen
as a tribute act to their own glory days.

I hope they do record an album with Lambert. Watching him on stage
– pouring himself into the songs, hitting the high notes, larking around with
Brian May – you can’t help but feel he’s given the band a second wind.
It’s a shame that some old farts can’t see that.

If you hate the idea of a band moving on, that’s fair enough.
Your albums aren’t going anywhere; you can hold on to your memories of
past concerts. But don’t feel that your fandom makes you the custodian of
the band’s legacy, and don’t ever think that you’re entitled to make demands
of those musicians because saw them back in the day. A band isn’t
a democracy; this one’s a monarchy, and it’s found its heir.
Long live the Queen.

2014-02-27 Queen + Adam in Concert Pre-Announcement


Queen and Adam Lambert to Make Announcement Next Week



 
QueenOnline.com

Over the past few years, Queen has performed with Adam Lambert on a number of occasions,
 both in the U.S. and overseas, but the band has never actually toured with the former American
 Idol finalist in the U.S.  Now, though, it appears that some live shows might be in the works
stateside.

Queen and Lambert have announced some sort of event for next Thursday morning at New
 York City's famed Madison Square Garden, with a promise of more details to follow.  It's safe
 to assume that this will serve as a kickoff for some kind of concert event or series.

When Lambert performs with Queen, of course, he stands in for the group's founding lead singer,
 Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 of an AIDS-related illness.  In the summer of 2012, the
 band and Adam played six shows in Europe, and this past fall, they also performed at a multi-artist
event in Las Vegas.

Queen first teamed up with Lambert in 2009.  The occasion was a performance on the American
 Idol season-eight finale where Adam was the runner-up to Kris Allen.

In January, Queen guitarist Brian May revealed in a message posted on his official website that
 he and drummer Roger Taylor had "been looking at doing some dates" this year.  He noted, "I
 think we're up for one more swing out there," adding that the lineup would be "Roger and myself,
 and who knows who else!!"  May also reported that he'd been looking over "an amazing working
 list of dates" for the tour.

2014-02-14 OUT Top 10 Most Eligible Bachelor's of 2014


Top 10: Who is the Most Eligible Bachelor of 2014?

2.14.2014

By Out.com Editors

The votes are in. Here are the Top 10 Most Eligible Bachelors 
We provided a list of 100 of the most dateable gay guys on the planet and asked you to vote. Here are the results. Adam Lambert took the Top Spot as the Most Eligible Bachelor with a landslide of votes from his loyal fans (the No. 1 spot was held by Chris Colfer last year, who is at No. 6 in 2014). We were informed that Chris Salvatore, at No. 2, is actually dating boyfriend Patrick McDonald (check out their adorable Instagram couple shots), so he may not be as available as we had previously supposed.

Actor Darryl Stephens easily took the No. 3 spot due to his stunning good looks and a fair amount of social media lobbying (thanks!). There were several new faces that hooked hearts and minds, including androgynous male model Andrej Pejic (No. 10). For the first time ever, we have a politician in the lineup, Brian Sims at No. 5, with Israeli entrepreneur and party promoter Eliad Cohen, just in front, at No. 4. Surprisingly newly single Ricky Martin was nudged out of the Top 10 (landing at No. 11) and Jonathan Groff split his vote since many people voted for his Looking character, Patrick, rather than the actor himself (sorry for the confusion!). But in our book, all these guys (and many more) are wonderful winners. Enjoy...until next year!
