Adam Lambert 24/7 News

Europe is opening welcome arms to Adam and his glorious companions. The favorite songs are, as usual, great.....but.....along about now I'd love to hear I Was Born to Love You and Love Kills again.

JAK-I am definitely thinking the same as you. "I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU" and "LOVE KILLS" would totally be a blessing at this point in time. I have watched every video available of all the concerts, (I must say that the Amsterdam concert was on fire and INCREDIBLE), but I am wearing myself out and I, at present, know all the exact lyrics of many Queen songs. We even get excited now when Adam hits a new note, changes a nuance, changes his hair or even wears a new shirt. We are all going to be so ready for Adam's new music and for the single coming out in April. I will definitely always cherish this marvelous time that he has spent with QUEEN-do you know that I still take myself back to KIEV many times, because to me that concert was absolutely ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY! May G-d and the Universe always bless QUEEN and Adam, but I do look forward to the prospect of having back our boy in good old Los Angeles. However, I realise that Adam is no longer just ours-he truly belongs to the whole world-we just have the privilege of his true abode. Someday, he will have houses in London and Paris, plus a wonderful condo in New York, and he will drive us crazy with his where abouts. Margarita Lady

I to would love to hear both of those songs again. They are two of my favourites.
Great post Margarita Lady.

Late, brief, sweet mementos of Vienna Concert, late because , yesterday night , when I got home from Vienna , I contemplated a lot the perspective of taking up the story from where I had to put it an end, but hey, I said to myself, my excitement, my joy, my pride , I had to share them with you!
Now I can say, "Et in Arcadia ego", my search for the golden age of classic rock music , long and never live bears a name, Queen+Adam Lambert.Nothing compares to a live rock concert,strangers from all eastern European countries, all united by our love for rock music, for Brian, Adam, Roger, all singing along We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Save Me...., all happy that Brian and Roger and their talented, charismatic front man , through their incredible mastery, energy, kick ass riffs, solos, rolls, belting vocals, incredibly well-preserved abilities, playfulness, gave us an unforgettable master class, of how they , 2 accomplished artists and the vocalist of their dreams proved the band's relevance in the 2000s.
How greatness can be achieved, but more importantly , how it can be maintained.Their energy, exuberance, , passion, Adam's well-known by now amazing ability to pass from one genre to another, from almost light-hearted, fluffy pop, disco to darker, broodier epic songs , the burning passion he puts in singing their lyrics, to the excellent sophisticated, theatrical-stylized performances,
to harder rock, everything, everything elevated the show.
The arena was a volcano, the Viennese audience like their English, French, or Romanian fellows loved, loved, loved this exciting project, they knew the lyrics of all the songs , they sang along without being asked to, and Adam sensed it,and Brian knew it, and Adam for a few minutes became ours. Don't be afraid , we don't have any chance to keep Adam only for us!lol

Thanks, Jadam.....Also, Pan, what a lovely magical post-I truly felt your passion for the concert-an incredible proliferation of talent from a well oiled machine. The conglomeration of emotions that all of the QUEEN music conjures in our souls can not be denied. We soar to the highest heights, and yet, "SAVE ME", takes us to the lowest depths of the human experience. When the lights go out, we walk out of that exit door so exhilarated, yet drained from the sheer exquisiteness of the night. May your beautiful memories remain deeply embedded in your psyche as a gift upon which you can draw to make you smile during times when the soul needs to be lifted. I have seen Adam three times in his own concerts, and twice with Queen, and, believe me, I still draw from that vision of happiness that I deeply tucked in to my memory. And, I quietly smile.

Thanks for the link to that review. Unfortunately, it won't translate for me. Maybe someone else has had better luck translating it.

I've now been able to translate it via Google Translate. I copied the original text and pasted into Google Translate ....

ch want an honest answer: What do you think of this man "Queen guitarist Brian May on stage at the Wiener Stadthalle and holds the arm of singer Adam Lambert at the height of 10,500 fans trample, scream and yell, show unequivocally that. think they just like May himself: For the band that wrote with her bombastic rock sound and the singer Freddie Mercury died in 1991, music history, Lambert was a lucky find.

CONCERT "QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT"
Singer Adam Lambert, just turned 33, is the legendary rock band Queen prospects for the future.

For the Vienna concert Sunday night, the 33-year-old American, the Queen in 2009 at the finale of the talent show "American Idol" met, as the best singer, have the May and drummer Roger Taylor collaborated with the after Mercury's death showed.

Above all, convinced his magnificent voice, strong, subtle exalted and to the extent the same as that of Freddie. In the town hall Lambert shines so especially in the ballads "Save Me" and "Who Wants To Live Forever". Both he sings almost too beautiful. Mercury was doing more charisma, more character, more excitement. But eventually Lambert is non-runner to replace Freddie, but "to celebrate him and the band" around.

Devotedly

And the Queen do on this tour devotedly - with more than two hours full power and triumphant, memorable melodies. There are the traditional Echoplex solo by May, in which he lays harmonies over their own echo. Okay, the Danube waltz falls here today bumpy. But no matter, May was injured, still suffering from a chill. Perhaps this is why he initially a bit unfocused worked, not with so much feeling as otherwise solos.

But band and the audience increased from song to song. Or better: Hit to hit. "Love Of My Life" acoustically in the middle part - recorded with Freddie in image and sound - made for the first mass choir. A drum duel between Roger Taylor and his son Rufus Tiger was cheered, because it so clearly showed the class of this musician.

And now wummert the striking Bassriff of "Under Pressure" through the hall. Finally, it also tears people in the stands of the seats. Thanks Lambert Queen can in fact now this pompous, playing in the higher pitch songs. The missing on tours with Paul Rodgers, because this hearty, sober blues singer had not brought across well.

Glamour

This is the second major advantage of Lambert: The open-ended his homosexuality singer brings his appearance in what was going on in painful Rodgers - glamor, wit, a twinkle in his eye pompous posturing. In "Killer Queen" he tagged on a purple sofa Diva, sometimes he wears a gold-fringed jacket, sometimes a red plaid pants.

In the brilliant finale with "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" even sits a crown on his head. All in all, a reaction which not only suits this lush, anthemic rock sound - he even demands.

Sure Brian May has asked not random, as Lambert arrives at the fans. For that is essential for the future of this incomparable band: If it has one, then only with him.

Margarita Lady
Yes, you're right elation, cloud 7 , that was the place where we, I and 2 lady friends, stayed hours after we left the arena talking and talking about whether the incorporated changes in arrangements, for vocals, for instruments did somehow change the old style. Of course they did, and so what, change is evolvement and let us not forget that both Brian and Roger have always been iconoclastic musicians and Adam isn't a conformist either.
On our journey back home we finally agreed that we grew kind of accustomed to Brian's incredible guitar technique, that we took Adam's versatility and histrionics for granted and so often we forgot Roger's extraordinary effort to push the boundaries. I Want It All is a good example, they usually play it a little slower , or that's what I thought, in Vienna, live, I finally noticed how energetic his drumming was.

After the UK/European tour was announced and especially when the ticket sales in Germany began very hesitantly I was sceptical if Queen with Adam as their frontman will have the (approximately) same acceptance/success here as in the US and Australia. But listening to the audio streams (reaction of the audience) and reading the great reviews surpassed all my expectation in a marvelous way.
So, here is a link for another awesome review:
