Love it! If you had to choose one of your possibilities, what would it be? Why not LMIYHA? I'll be honest, I think I'd rather them not do LMIYHA...I've always been a strong proponent of keeping QAL and Queen projects separate and I know they already did Love Kills...but Love Kills was an established song with more remixes than I can count so Adam doing the new arrangement, wasn't too bad...but LMIYHA was the first new Queen song we have had since 1995...and it's almost too new for me to want to share with Adam yet if that makes sense. Maybe that makes me one of those pig headed Queen fans which I don't usually associate with. I mean the other tracks we've had for years....this one, we barely know with Freddie. I don't know - does that make sense? Of my choices: Of course White Queen is top of the list. Let Me Live is right up there. Save Me would be 3rd. I tend to like Adam on the ballads and mid tempo tracks and not so much on the rockers which is why I wouldn't necessarily go for Hammer to Fall or Headlong.

I look at this tweet and see: GFG❣ GFG❣ GFG❣ Q3 and Talon see: NEW SONGS❣ NEW SONGS❣ NEW SONGS❣( (YTMBA, White Queen, Hammer To Fall, Save Me, It's A Hard Life, You're My Best Friend, Headlong, Drowse, No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young), Too Much Love Will Kill You, Heaven For Everyone, Spread Your Wings, Get Down Make Love, Innuendo, Let Me Live, Breakthru, ...) Funny! I can't decide which one is making me happier! Re new songs: are there song(s) more popular in the UK than in other EU countries? Would they have different new songs in different countries depending on local popularity? If yes - what are the choices?

It may not make many major waves in the pop world where Adam generally resides, but getting that type of endorsement from a legend like Brian May is HUGE. I know he's been supporting him for years, but putting GFG in a tweet for all to see is on another level.

Given the tour schedule, there is nothing that jumps out as a territorial song. If they were heading to Spain, I would say Las Palabras De Amor, much like Teo Toriatte/I Was Born To Love You for Japan.

I really love that song, that was my motivation for suggesting it - more than YTMBA. And yes, what you say makes sense, without you having to label yourself in any way. Let Me Live would also be amazing. Maybe song(s) will turn out to be a medley.

I think that is a great one for Adam as well. I guess anything is possible. We'll find out in a few days!

Throwing my $.02 on the tweet. New Songs. ..... As far as You Take My Breath Away. The idea that it is too much a Freddie song is a bit...strange to me. I can see it in someways but in others - not so much. I mean in reality is it more of a Freddie song than some of the others already done? Bo Rap? At one point Brian said they'd never do Champions again because it was so Freddie....I Was Born To Love You (a Freddie solo song initially?), Love Kills? Somebody To Love? Killer Queen? They are all VERY associated with Freddie. I mean yes, on the other hand some are more Fred than others...LOML was always a special Freddie-Brian thing so it'll never be an Adam led song I would think....and yes I can see that YTMBA was in it's way a followup to LOML...and yes Freddie did perform it solo when it was performed....SO I guess like I say I'm back and forth on the idea. BUT as far as this Queen fan is concerned - I don't think it's an issue. Love it! If you had to choose one of your possibilities, what would it be? Why not LMIYHA? Agree about NIH & SCC. Plus, it seems Queen fans love it because they are more obscure songs true fans know and love. Adam loves AOBTD so I don't think that is going anywhere either. Actually, I think the whole opening up thru STL will remain untouched. Even AOBTD where it is? Seems stranded there. I'd move it further in. If they keep Dragon Attack, it would probably make more sense to have them together. PS: good luck with the spreadsheets. Brave woman!!! Really? I think AOBTD is perfect right before Fat Bottom Girls! My big question, which no one has asked yet, is: Will he go back to the sing along during AOBTD, as Freddie did & he did the beginning of the NA tour & UK/EU in 2012? Or will he keep the sing along right after Tie Your Mother Down "All Your Love Tonight!" Hmmmm?

^ I think that depends on where it is in the setlist. If AOBTD stays where it is then I think he'll save it. If it's moved down he might do it there. It seems that singalongs are much better received midway or just after midway through a concert. Too soon and the crowd is still just kind of getting into it...especially for Adam who has to win over the Queen crowd first.

How do you think he will be received at the UK shows given the success of the NYE show?
