This is a really nice wrap-up to this discussion. I seem to remember Brian (and maybe Roger in some way) saying that Adam can do things with his voice that Freddy probably could not do. But both of them, while heaping praise on Adam's voice, have been pretty careful about putting him above Freddy. BTW, I think my "alluded" is fine. If I made an error, so be it. This Adam/Freddy comparison will go on and on forever in any discussion of the two. Long after QAL is done, it will remain a emotional debate in the annals of rock history. Here in this interview with Brian May from ca. 3:50 - 4:15 Thanks for finding that interview. I knew I remembered Brian saying something like that.

Yesterday? (July 27), much of the discussion focused on some of the general views of Queen purists and many of their continuing lambasts of not only Adam as frontman but also of some criticisms of Brian and Roger's choice of Adam as frontman. I was unwell yesterday, and I just wanted to add a bit of information that I have located regarding Brian and his comments on Adam's voice. Girldrummer: "...Adam's voice is extremely good, better than Freddie's in some ways. Even Brian and Roger have alluded to this. This must be very painful to the purists, like an act of treason." Talon: acknowledges that Brian has noted that Adam can sing higher than Freddie but notes: "and for the record, Brian and Roger have never said Adam's alluded to (sic.) Adam's voice being better than Freddie's..." Thelambertluvva: "I don't remember where, but I remember Brian saying that Adam had the best voice he's ever heard. Does anyone else remember where he said that? I remember it because it jumped out at me." I remembered it as well. Here you go: www.facebook.com/NewZealandGlitterTribe/?ref=nf&hc_ref=ARQtsxbwQOrd_BLbM3RB_lJJC3n4Sac66pjc5hHsrDS4FQPULwfroeqUosM-g4MRm4A"Brian May on Queen's Second Life with Adam Lambert" Replacing a singer under any circumstances is always a tall order. But stepping into the shoes of arguably rock's most charismatic frontman, Freddie Mercury? Despite near impossible odds, Queen's partnership with Adam Lambert has hit all the right notes. The band's legendary guitarist Brian May gives their current singer highest praise, declaring "[Lambert] has the most extraordinary voice I've ever heard." "That says a lot because I've heard a lot of voices in my time,". May adds. "It's an extraordinary instrument, and he's learned to control it and harness it during the time we've worked with him. Sometimes, I just stand and watch, and my mouth drops." Let me take my medicine. I don't remember this interview. Well okay - even Brian has your opinion. lol. But it doesn't change much. I've always said Adam has a technically sounder voice. He is well trained and his instrument is well preserved. I still don't think that makes him better...especially at being a rock frontman. It doesn't make one voice better than the other. Both Freddie and Adam have great voices but they are very different. They are both great front men, flamboyant, colorful, dynamic performers but very different. We can love them both and we can prefer one over the other. Better is the wrong word. It's all a matter of taste. I love Adam, to me he's the whole package. Back in the day, in the 70's, I was a fan of Queen and Freddie gave me chills. Adam does that now! I hope we don't have to go through this anymore. Let the QOL people have at. They probably will never give Adam any credit.

I am curious how The Barclays Center in NY compares to Madison Square Garden. Any insiders who can give some info? I was at MSG last time. Never been there but I have heard it is awesome. Fairly new (not quite 5 years old.)
