Watch: Adam Lambert covers Jimi Hendrix's 'Red House'
Iconic track performed by American Idol star
- Lambert on everything and everyone in Queen being cool: "They're really cool guys. It was almost like chilling on a family vacation with your grandparents - you know, with your cool uncle, and your cool grandpa. They're like the cool guys that partied in the 1970s, and they're telling great stories - and also telling me all kinds of things about Freddie Mercury, who obviously is like an idol. I got an inside scoop of what it was really like, which was really cool."
