It royally pisses me off when people complain about Brian and Roger continuing with Adam Lambert.

Freddie Mercury was not Queen. Queen is not Freddie Mercury.

Brian wrote at least 63 Queen songs. Roger wrote at least 31. John wrote at least 23. They have every right to do what they want with it.

Not only that, but people tend to forget that Freddie didn’t found Queen. He changed the name to Queen, but Brian and Roger were already there. That group has always been Brian and Roger’s.

Don’t twist my words, I’m well aware that a large part of Queen’s success is because of Freddie and his charisma and talent. I’m not stupid. But I think it’s ignorant to suggest that they should just not tour anymore and not perform the music that’s shaped their lives??

Brian would go crazy if he didn’t tour. His life is his work, and vice versa. Anyone who knows anything about him would know how important it is for his well-being to keep working.

As for them “replacing” Freddie—fucking where, bitch? They’re not touring as Queen. They’re touring as Queen + Adam Lambert. John is still involved in the business aspects, regardless of the fact that he doesn’t speak to Brian and Roger anymore.

Plus, Spike has been working with them since 1984, at least, as a second guitarist, keyboardist, and technician. And Neil is a BEAST of a bassist on his own.

So comments like “I respect that Zeppelin backed down after Bonham’s death, but I can’t say the same about Queen”, implying there’s a loss of respect for the simple fact that musicians want to continue doing their job, despite the fact that they didn’t even perform as Queen again for YEARS, is plain ignorance. Nothing more, nothing less.

So again… Queen is, and always has been, so much more than just Freddie Mercury. And he would say the exact same.

Details:

Did a slight redesign on Qal, and my goodness it is much easier to draw his horns like this.

Don't you just love when characters (especially villains) have a very obvious and exploitable weakness?

Happy they're playing Is this the World we created and changing the setlist a bit, but my dream will always be having them play You're my Best Friend live

Also sad they removed Days of Our Lives, a real shame imho.

Thought I’d share some of the photos I took when I went to see QAL last year in May. I was very fortunate to get a barrier spot, and I got to see my guitar god up close… if you ever get a chance to see them, take the opportunity. I have a feeling they won’t be going for much longer…

some things i want to talk about that happened at qal:

roger dedicating under pressure to taylor hawkins (i cried)

brian asking half way through the show “was it worth the fucking wait?”

adams sassy ass at the green lighting at the start of killer queen

roger replacing “when i look and i find, no change” in these are the days of our lives with “when i look and i find, brian may)

THE FIREWORK GUITAR, ADAM HOLDING ONE, THE TWO AY THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AFTER😍

freddie telling us to fuck off after the ayo’s

brian looking emotional as fuck during love of my life (he looked so sad when fred was leaving the screen, suprise suprise i cried)

brian looking and smiling at me during his now i’m here solo

doing the same during hammer to fall

and yet again when him and rog were at the end of the runway if u will (idfk what it’s called)

rog looking at me also on the runway thing

adam STARING AT ME (i died and guess what? cried at all these looking moments)

the beautiful glammed asf harley adam preformed bicycle race on (i’ll post a video of it im certain i have one)

i’ve probably missed stuff and messed up when stuff happened during a song but im gonna be honest and say i think i blacked out most of the time it was genuinely the best night of my life💕💕💕
