Interview:
Hernan Rojas Text: Jorge Lagas The 21st century model Queen, who arrived in Santiago to appear in concert on Wednesday 30 September in the Athletic Track of the National Stadium, is incorporating novelty Adam Lambert. A singer from the pop world, who had the easy task to step into the shoes of the late Freddie Mercury and conduct shows that recreate the musical magic that made Queen one of the greatest bands of all time. Judging by the success of the tour that has been turning recent months, the union of Lambert with Brian May and Roger Taylor has proved fruitful. Within hours of the presentation of the group in the capital, and chatted with the singer he told this:
Adam, the tour has been very well received by where they have spent, how you feel is taking chemistry with the rest of the band on stage?
From the beginning it felt good. When I met them at the end of my participation in 'American Idol' touch 'We are the champions' and it was this instinctive sense of when you say "ok, this works". After a while we meet again, we start with this and I have always found incredibly friendly, linebackers, open to all ... and it need not have been, they could treat me like trash. They Are Queen! He accepts it. But they have been too nice. I'm lucky.
What is key in the process of interpreting the songs immortalized by Freddie Mercury? Tequila (laughs). No, that's not true. Seriously, I watched many of his records, trying to understand how he did not, but what he wanted people to feel. How he thought these songs, which was his intention. In analyzing it, I tried it on my performance. If there is a very very mad frantic song, or, ok, we are on that side.
How have you dealt with that in fact this is not Queen but Queen + Adam Lambert, and they can feel the fans to differences between the classic and the new Queen collaborative project?
It was interesting, because yes, it's a collaboration. At first they said "oh, Adam Lambert is now Queen". In a way I am, but it's really a collaboration. And it was good that I understand, I do not feel a permanent member of the band. Queen's Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. That's Queen, as I see it and they see a lot of fans. What we do on stage is a celebration of the band, let Brian and Roger play their songs live and make them live again.
What is the power of the music of Queen, which makes reach new fans from generation to generation?
I do not know what it is, but it certainly works. If you see the public in any country, you see people of all ages, is impressive. I thought it was going to be older audience, and that audience there, but also all others: young people, children, men, women, of all ages, races, genders, I was surprised this diversity. I think these songs have stood the test of time because they are honest, from the heart, very universal, not necessarily something that happens at a time, but always felt that all emotions. They are songs about our human condition.
How do you see it live in the worlds of pop and rock?
Nice to have enough to do (laughs). As a music lover and part of this generation, I always hear people saying "ah, you pop, you rock, you dance" and all that stuff. It seems an antiquated way of looking at music, perhaps before people define themselves by listening style. But I think that no longer works much, guys listen now many different types of music. We are the "playlist generation" because it is not about gender, but of personalities and identification. I find it great to play with people from Queen, revisit these classic rock, which even influenced to metal, but you can tell that the end is a pop group. They walked through many genres and knew, as anyone, do sticky hits.
You've done versions of Led Zeppelin and Kiss played with, what is your connection with those bands?
I love Led Zeppelin, I enjoyed his music for years, I think it's very sexy. Kiss And, to be honest, it was not my idea. Actually I'm not a fan of Kiss (laughs), but when the producers told me that would bring the end of 'American Idol,' I said "ok, at least be entertaining" and was to be excited about the staging. Paul (Stanley) was very friendly, great, lovely guy. Gene (Simmons) ... uh ... that's all I'll say. Gene is Gene.
Finally, for what will be the show in Santiago, what can you expect?
They'll have a party with us. We set up a party on stage. This is the last show of this leg, so the energy will be well above that will promise a good time. The last remaining tickets for the Puntoticket system, designated point in Ripley and Cinemark. The show party at 21:00 pm and, as Adam said, This is the last leg of the tour so you have that special ingredient.
