5:58 is incredible, what a way to handle breaking a string. He knows exactly what to do and executes it so quickly, no fuss! What an absolute guitar legend! If that were me I'd freeze.
@@newc1531 True! Nevertheless, if it were me, I'd still probably fall off the stage in a moment of sheer panic or forget how to play every single song that followed in the set!
@@newc1531 For an example of when it happens early in a song, go find Queen+ Gary Cherone and Tony Iommi from the Tribute Concert. Tony was the only guitar for the first verse as he took off the Special and strapped on his copy made by Guild. It was restrung by his tech in time for the next song. (I assume if that happened now, with only one guitarist, it'd be the keyboards and bass covering as he switches guitars to, instead of his Guild copy, his BMG brand copy.)
I believe that Brian and Rogers desire to make sure their contributions to Rock music needed to be continued in the memory of Freddie. Adam has been the vehicle they found to do just that. Well done I say, this music and all that Queen was and is needs to be forever remembered.
Can’t believe these 2 are 65ish! What energy! Adam brings a different vibe and what A fabulous voice!! He and Freddie would have had a great time together!!
@@edb7589 This song Total Eclipse sucks! I'd rather listen to her other earlier songs like "Here's Monday", "The Eyes of A Fool", "Lost In France", etc. Not this 80s garbage crap like Chug of My Heart that was changed to Total Eclipse later. Sort of like the song "Bloke On The Water" later changed to "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple or Deep Gurgle.
@@wellingtonaviationchannel634 ive been to the concert today. For fat bottomed girls he uses a guitar tuned in D but still he breaks a string and uses it as a show off🤯
gotta say im not really a fan of adam lambert, but he is a great singer and he's perfect in queen. we've all been spoiled with freddie mercury, so he's doing the best he can to fill those massive shoes without over selling it.
I wasn’t until I saw them in concert. He put his own little spin on it and wasn’t trying to be Freddie but always acknowledged him. He was a good pick for the group
spending the day watching queen w/Adam today so I can learn to appreciate his style in case I ever get a chance to see Queen in a live concert in person (me there) before I die. Probably not though cuz my husband does not like Queen. :-( Husband likes a different style of music than me.
They are so amazing. In all the videos I've seen, it never felt like he was trying to take the spotlight or someone else's place. Maybe I'm delusional and interpreting too much but it always feel like they do this for Queen and the people, so people can continue to enjoy Queen's music
Here I am nearly 77 late at night, sneezing and a little bit of Grouse to improve life and this has improved the day no end! This makes my rocking world go round but I wish it would not rock quite so much these days!!!! I can still ride the electric bike which is good. We were th e last generation to have real fun!!!
For sure I saw them in Toronto last year best concert I have ever seen Adam does not pretend to be Freddie he does his own spin on the songs and is an amazing entertainer
Freddie would of loved this and Adam fits this role so well not only with his voice but he just oozes with Freddie’s charisma and energy he had on stage.
This Queen song is even more special to me this song was played at my cousin storms memorial I lost him last year he loved Queen. So everytime I hear this song I think of my cousin storm, he’s really missed
Adam is a brilliant singer. He did not ask to sing with Queen they asked him. Brian still teased him about it on one of the videos I saw on TH-cam. Like him or not he is here to stay.
@@yvonnestaley3564 Adam Lambert doesn’t need to be a wanna be. He is the owner of the most incredible, phenomenal voice alive today. Multimillionaire before even joining Queen with his own very highly successful solo career, millions of records sold, highly successful solo tours, performances, appearances. 10 years of very highly successful tours with Queen with sold out stadiums and arenas everywhere they go in large part to the new life Adam brought back to them. The fact that they are more popular today than they ever were before, even with Freddie, makes Adam Lambert...hardly a wanna be.
@@carolhagerty4288 I am currently watching Freddie Mercury, The Great Pretender on TV. You really are reminded of his genius, his courage, his drive, his talent, his bravery for branching out into different genre's of music. The guy was untouchable, a legend. For you to suggest Lambert is better than Freddie shows you really are an idiot. Lambert isn't worthy of touching the Hem of the garment Mercury wears. You are a Lambert fan. End of. Do not even compare him to the talent, charisma and complex person that Freddie was.
First of all, can you read? Where did I say better? I said Adam is the best vocalist alive TODAY. And it is a fact that, since they started touring with Adam, they have absolutely become more popular and successful as they ever were before. As Queen’s second frontman, Adam has become very well loved by millions worldwide. Queen lucked out with two great, supremely talented frontmen. One for the 20th century, one for the 21st. I love them both.
@@carolhagerty4288 by simply staying they are MORE popular than ever before suggests that. I'm sorry I will try to explain my replies if you have limited grasp of language. Also the greatest vocalist alive today? You are such a Lambert fan it's embarrassing. Educate yourself about the real band Queen before even comparing him to Freddie. Sorry but they are not more popular now than they were before. Lambert is living off singing the songs Fred brought to life on stage. Get over it.
To anybody that thinks Queen was all about Freddie.....I present Brian May. The real genius behind Queen. He wrote the best songs, and that guitar.......Brian. He was Queen. Freddie was the best front man ever. No doubt. But without Brian, Queen would never have been.
Actually my english is not that good, when I read your comment, I thought u meant “Did he breake a string, why he uses diffrent guitar” but your comment was diffrent so Im sorry mate :D
I mean, he's not replacing Freddie but rather carrying on his legacy. Whether you are listening Adam or Freddie sing it, you still feel Freddie behind Adam's voice. He's putting his own twist to the music which makes it feel fresh and modern, despite it being over 30 years old but at the same time very nostalgic to Queen fans who were around when Freddie was still alive.
@@nahiyanalamgir7614 Thats because Adam is trying to be Adam. He sings like himself. Which is actually very humble. Any other with a slight ego would think "i can do it" and try and fail to emulate Freddie So no, he doesnt have the same voice, and thats for the better
@@uelssom There is nothing wrong with Adam himself. However, all I'm saying is that he's not the best singer to perform with Queen, IMHO. It's all about his style of singing - he's not a rockstar, he's more of a popstar, like Adam Levine. You can't have Queen without a rockstar; afterall, it's a rock band.
Adam got it perfectly. He's not trying to imitate Freddy. Or be a karaoke version of Freddy. No one can replace Freddy. But Adam is paying tribute to him, and Queen's music. I really think Freddy would totally approve ! (and Adam being sex on a stick certainly doesn't hurt :) )
Does it really matter who would have invented this song..Fat Bottom Girls is pure rock and roll...all the way back to Chuck Berry and Elvis..though no one could have done it better than Queen...lol
5:58 is incredible, what a way to handle breaking a string. He knows exactly what to do and executes it so quickly, no fuss! What an absolute guitar legend! If that were me I'd freeze.
RR19996 easier when end of song!
@@newc1531 True! Nevertheless, if it were me, I'd still probably fall off the stage in a moment of sheer panic or forget how to play every single song that followed in the set!
That homemade floating bridge tremolo probably HATES it when a string breaks. No hope of staying in tune after that!

@@RR19996 I would jump off 😂
After Eddie Van Halen, Brian is my all time favorite guitarist. Just incredible.
Brian is the all time best.
His tone and playing are awesome
@@carolhagerty4288 he is also a better singer than Eddie.

*Before
50th Queen anniversary!!! anyone else celebrating?
actually it will be 51 years in 2021 as queen was formed on 1970!
Was RELEASED IN THE GREATEST DECADE OF GREAT BANDS LIKE QUEEN 1978 ,, THE 1970s BABY
I believe that Brian and Rogers desire to make sure their contributions to Rock music needed to be continued in the memory of Freddie. Adam has been the vehicle they found to do just that. Well done I say, this music and all that Queen was and is needs to be forever remembered.
Well said! Love seeing the joy in the faces of old and young alike in the audience.
Fat bottomed girls we make the rockin world go round! 🥰
Always love you
It is true
Yassss
Yes we do!
I think all of you......and I mean all of you/y'all are beautiful, sweethearts!
Can’t believe these 2 are 65ish! What energy! Adam brings a different vibe and what A fabulous voice!! He and Freddie would have had a great time together!!
Theyre in their 70s
For real.
@@baileyeverson2272 But not 2014
@@FCBayern1978 But they didn't post the comment in 2014 did they.
@Marco M. Who cares when they said it, the fact is they said it.
Queen truly stands alone. Adam, has been a fantastic add on for the band and you can tell they all get along very nicely.
If you can't get along with Brian May, you have a serious problem

Massive Queen fan, even bigger Freddie fan, but Adam Lambert is FUCKING AMAZING! Keep talking your shit, he's more successful than you'll ever be.
Truth! Thank you!
I like the way how brians guitar got out of tune then broke a string
And he just used it in his advantage
True talent
He broke a string
I think his guitar was deliberately de tuned for this song.
@@wellingtonaviationchannel634 ive been to the concert today. For fat bottomed girls he uses a guitar tuned in D but still he breaks a string and uses it as a show off🤯
2:37
Adam: You gonna take me home tonight
Rest of the band: Wont you take me home tonight
I would definitely take him home , if he’s willing. Lol 😂
Haha real Queen fans know the lyric mix up 😂
As long as Roger can twirl those drumsticks, I am putty in his hands!!!!

I gotta believe Freddie would approve of Adam.
I think that’s an easy belief.👍👍👑
I agree, Freddie would definitely approve
не одобрил бы. Марк Мартел лучший!
He would love Adam’s energy and how he makes the songs his own without doing too much or trying to copy Freddie
Freddy would do more than approve..🙈🤣👍🥸👍👍🇦🇨
Adam does this song proud, I love his voice and presence. I have to add, he has the most beautiful face I have seen (male or female)
Agree, Queen found themselves an incredible voice and one good looking frontman too.
They are so amazing. In all the videos I've seen, it never felt like he was trying to take the spotlight or someone else's place. Maybe I'm delusional and interpreting too much but it always feel like they do this for Queen and the people, so people can continue to enjoy Queen's music
Queen never fail to put on one of the best live shows in the world EVERY TIME they are unbeatable

Adam! Thank you for being an awsome part of one of the most Awsome bands ever!!!!
They’re so great. Love Adam in the band. He’s incredible!!
this is just all that's right with rock music. period.
Adam is the perfect singer for Queen, now that the Main Hombre is kicking ass in heaven! Damn they need to release a new album!
Amazing videos of Queen concert! Thank you for bringing back the Queen memories. ❤
Some might say that Queen are now covering themselves, but hey Adam is a very respectful lad and this number sounds good to me!
For sure I saw them in Toronto last year best concert I have ever seen Adam does not pretend to be Freddie he does his own spin on the songs and is an amazing entertainer

How lucky is Queen. ? They had Freddie.....!! Then to find Adam Lambert 😲😲😲😲😲
Adam is as gorgeous as his voice
Too bad hes just as gay as Freddie was
@@peggieh8577 Why is it “too bad”? That’s a bit of a homophobic remark. Adam is who he is and who he wants to be. It ain’t too bad for him.
Pure Rock!!! Drummer, guitarist and a vocal!!!
Just saw Queen+Adam in NYC... These guys are untouchable. And for anyone who doubts how good Adam is...lol
Hey they are in United States rightnow touring? Omg I would love to go see them as my first concert ever
@@ashleylovelace7818they were in the US from October 4th-November 12th. I doubt they’ll come back unfortunately as I also missed my opportunity

Awesome
Screw the haters, I love Adam Lambert with Queen

Queen 👑 4-every!!🤩
No one could replace Freddie, but Adam is the obvious choice! Rip Mercury!
string break? whammy
I guessed so
Oh, now I got the reason. In this song, u should drop the first E string to D. So he used the guitar which has changed string.
@@danielperktas he had a spare one in drop d, but i guess there was no point at the end of the song
Zane Roote yea, ur right
Actually my english is not that good, when I read your comment, I thought u meant “Did he breake a string, why he uses diffrent guitar” but your comment was diffrent so Im sorry mate :D

That lovely little moment at 3:06 makes me very happy.

Channeling Neil Young and then Status Quo with that guitar tone.
I miss Freddie😢
headphones on and volume up!
I'm not gay but ngl Adam Lambert is pretty hot
Just found this. The White Man tease @0:38 is awesome.

I know he is not Freddie but DANM he is good
Just as good.
You know Shinzo Abe.was feeling that. Great stuff indeed.
