Lady Gaga to front Queen?

[Astrid Kirchherr65]

I'm gonna address this because I'm very fond of you both. I don't think Astrid's post was directed at you ILJP, but more so to anyone that may think Lady GaGa may think Queen are aging rockers. Which they are and it's gonna happen to GaGa as well.

We all have to understand that QUEEN has like a MILLION miles under their belt and their catalog went WAYYY past We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions.

I could start with a list of 40 radio hits and probably keep going but I won't.

No matter what I personally feel for GaGa, I don't dislike her as a whole...It's just at this time and place I don't see myself buying any of her stuff.

I have bought other pop acts male or female from todays world though, so I'm secure in my classic and in the now skin.

I see one point, that it may look as though there is alot of pop bashing on the forum, but when I look deeper, I really don't see it! Astrid, (and I don't want to put words in her mouth cause we can all speak for ourselves) is a fan of pop music for as long as I can remember. Hell she's not ashamed to say she likes the Partridge Family/ David Cassidy or The Bay City Rollers..and I'm sure there are some newer artists she likes today as well.

ILJP, again not trying to speak for anyone, loves Led Zeppelin with a mighty passion.

But there are things some of us are not going to like. How about some KISS...anyone??

I think our online family and forum has the most content of any other classic rock forum out there...we have the 50's (and well before) through the 2011's. At the end of the day we are all here because we LOVE MUSIC..this is what drives us. Sometimes we won't see eye to eye..and our favorites are going to be defended no matter what.

I can see what would make someone sad at an "opinion" of aging rockers, because we don't know if this is really how GaGa feels. It's an assumption of how she might feel. But she's been seen with alot of famous rockers, from KISS, To Queen, to Iron Maiden...you name it. She loves her rock and roll and for that I give her props.

Let's not allow my post here to scare anyone away from voicing there opinions...but at the end of the day let's all keep things in perspective! I love everyone here and I would like to think that we all care about each other....we rock with each other...cry with each other...let off steam with each other.

But one thing is for certain...

It all comes back to the music!!

Not directed at anyone , but I will say I'M TIRED of constant slants at age..this IS a Classic Rock forum ? It's NOT Pop Forum..theres IS room for all styles music , I'm not alienating these newer musicians

I'm ASKING that the reference to aging rockstars quit..it's offensive ..if I went on a pop forum and constantly said young little twats..wouldn't the younger members say wtf

I think the die hard Queen fans will find this as hard to digest as Kiss fans lol

I think you guys took my comment about aging rockers differently from how I meant it. I only meant that, in today's society with younger generations, that bands like Queen are a tad bit outdated if put next to artists like Lady Gaga.. Going on a rampage about young "twats" is then times more offensive than anything I said though, but I digress.

I think what is happening here is the wording and what we're meaning to say are two different things...or it's coming out wrong.

I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate here and say that ILJP talking about aging rockers was hypothetical and not pointed at anyone specific. Astrid's comment about young people in her last post was not about anyone specific but an example in general.

I hope my intervention post will come to pass as I meant what I said. At the end of the day, it's all about the music for all of us.

We all care deeply about our artists and we're bound to defend them from time to time.

But let's keep it to the bands and not the fans. I think we agree on that. Whether it be GaGa fans, Queen fans or Mr. Rogers fans...let's leave them all out of it.

We all rock and we're gonna have a GREAT weekend aren't we??

And I have to be impartial here as I think of everyone on this forum to be super cool and groovay!

OH BEHAVE!!!

I think things just get lost in translation on here as it's hard to discern what people are really saying over text instead of spoken word. All good!
