While the long-awaited Freddie Mercury biopic hits another snag
in production, the wait to see Queen on Screen Goblin is over thanks to
band’s current world tour. The legendary rockers return with a show of
truly epic proportions, featuring new front man Adam Lambert.
Onstage for well in excess of two hours,
the band power through their enviable back catalogue, ticking off most
of the favourites and a few of lesser-known numbers including Tie Your
Mother Down and Stone Cold Crazy. The eye popping set design is based on
the cover to 1977’s News of the World, incorporating the giant robot,
with Lambert at one point appearing atop a metallic skull. You movie
fans will be pleased to hear it even features Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, thanks to exerts from the Radio Ga Ga music video.
A genuine fan, Lambert appears to be
having the time of his life, and is respectful of Mercury’s legacy while
doing justice to his songs. Brian May and Roger Taylor’s status as the
last original members allows them space for extended solos, both of whom
remain at the top of their game. May, everyone’s favourite
astrophysicist, animal rights campaigner and collector of Victorian 3D
photography (look it up), is as special as his guitar
would have you believe, and Taylor demonstrates more than just his
percussive ability as he takes to the mic for A Kind of Magic.

wonderfully complimentary of what Adam brings to Queen....his own unique stage presence...exuberance and humour...a new energy. Then it says......
"This isn't reheated leftovers, this is a band experiencing a second coming"....."May, Taylor and Lambert knocked it out of the park"!
Truer words were never spoken.
