bringing form yesterday's thread: I haven't read this interview with Roger before. Very interesting. www.timeoutshanghai.com/features/Music-Music_features/38506/Queens-Roger-Taylor-Weve-found-a-new-lease-of-life-with-Adam-Lambert.html" It's great, with Adam Lambert we've kind of found a new lease of life. He's a perfect fit for us, an incredibly gifted singer and performer - it's a lot of fun. Do you think he brings something new to the material or is it more a question of trying to stay as faithful to the originals as possible?Well no, he does bring himself, but he has a lot of things in common with Freddie Mercury. He has an incredible sense of humour, which is very important, and he has an incredible vocal range - and those two things really make him perfectly fitted for Queen. It's a delight really for us. Rather unexpected - Brian and I didn't expect to still be working under the name Queen - but this is our fourth or fifth tour [with Adam Lambert] now and we've found ourselves absolutely loving it." Great find, I esp. loved the bit about a potential album... I think at the end of it, only you can be the judge. And at our stage in our career, which is obviously very late, we wouldn't expect to make a contemporary album now, because frankly I don't think we'd know how to. It's also a matter of expectation - people might expect something that they might not expect from a very contemporary band, so it's kind of doubly impossible. You couldn't make it avant-garde enough... it just wouldn't fit because it wouldn't be us, so it's very difficult. I think you just have to do things on your own terms. Does that also make it hard to consider recording a new Queen album then? There's regularly talk about whether you'll go into the studio with Adam.No, I think that we should actually, I don't know why we haven't got around to it. Of course Adam does have a fairly busy career on his own, but I think we should, but I don't think people should expect radically ground-breaking things, but I think we could make some very brilliant music with Adam and we should do. But no concrete plans at this point? No concrete plans, but I think we're just a bit too lazy really." --------------- IMO the conundrum they are facing is exactly that (in red) and they would probably have a difficult time finding common ground in writing with Adam UNLESS Adam is willing to do a throwback album. So I am not very optimistic on a full album tbh, but I think a single is quite possible - they could test the waters! |

nica, that section in red that you pointed out stood out for me as well. I think there will be a time that Adam can make a niche throwback type of album, but not yet. Perhaps when he has established himself more in acting and his career is less album dependent.
