RESPONDING FROM YESTERDAY: Must be hard for him to rationalize though, because without Adam right now, there'd be no Brian and Roger show to see! No matter how much anyone dislikes Adam, it has to be obvious to any reasonable Queen diehard, that this tour is bringing so much joy to Brian and Roger and they are playing better than ever! And both men have said, without Adam, this would not be happening! Oh from conversations I've had with him, he'd be grateful that it got B&R going again...he just doesn't like Adam's voice/performances. He's VERY glad that Brian and Roger are enjoying themselves...and appreciates the chance to see them one last time (if it is the last chance) I can understand and even appreciate that someone could dislike Adam's voice or the choice to use him to front Quee. But to HATE him because of it? Seriously, where does that even come from.  Says a lot about that person and none of it is good.  So sad, makes my heart hurt.  :-/ Bad choice of words...I didn't mean that he hates Adam as a person. I simply meant that he hates Adam's voice and performance and the choice to use him to front the band. He hates Adam with Queen. I don't think he has any thoughts/feelings on Adam the man one way or another. Most of the old school Queen fans on these sites that I know of - None of them really *hate* Adam per se. Not many of them like him fronting the band for the same reason as mentioned earlier by a few of you. They are imprinted that Queen is Freddie singing. Hell I'm even like that to a degree. Queen is always and will always be Freddie/Brian/Roger/John. I look at QAL like I looked at QPR. They are separate bands entirely. And that's completely fine. It allows me to quite enjoy the collaboration I think people know my thoughts clearly. If I had my ultimate wish it would be to see Brian and Roger put on an intimate storytellers like gig with them singing the whole time and doing obscure album tracks. But that wouldn't really be Queen either. QPR was a different animal - despite them still using the Queen catalogue (and some of Paul Rodgers) it was more of an experiment to go a bit away from the bombast theatricaltiy and into a more bluesy straightforward rock band. It worked well for what it was especially as B&R were still a bit hesitant about being QUEEN again. QAL, I think is just about B&R saying fuck it. Queen is really in it's final act now. They aren't really looking to be that forward thinking anymore, it's just a good excuse to be able to perform the catalogue with someone who can sing and perform and do it in a theatrical style so that it is more about being QUEEN again and reaching out to those who still want to hear the music. It's definitely far safer musically than QPR was which isn't necessarily a bad thing which is one reason I am a Queen fan that wants to see an album with AL so as to inject a bit more creativity and danger into the pairing if that makes sense. I also think someone like Adam *IS* the only way to inject some of that. Paul for example being of the same pedigree and age, is still writing and recording the same type of thing which is what The Cosmos Rocks was (and why it got mixed reviews). With AL they might stretch themselves again which would be nice to see. Still not buying their mindset on Adam but it's their lose, Talon Don't think there is any rationale that would make sense to me. Totally cool with their love of Freddie and that Freddie is and always will be "the man". Just don't get the whining. Since they love B&R and enjoy the opportunity of being able to see them live again, they should be nothing but happy. But they are only slighting themselves.

Thanks for this pic, Lady M. I know this hair color is just about impossible to maintain, but this total look is pretty much my favorite of all (so far).

No. Way. ! That's awesome. I'm a big Wayne Rooney fan (well, big English football fan in general). This is kind of amazing to me. Makes me grin. ETA: for the uninitiated, Wayne Rooney really was (and still is) the STAR English footballer after David Beckham. Hence the 10M followers.

I had no idea who Wayne Rooney is. Good to know that others have heard of him. Plus he has over 10 million followers. Yay.

To be fair - Real Wizard specifically(whom we were talking about) didn't whine about Adam at all. He's never said anything negative about him. He really is nothing but happy about it. He just isn't an Adam fan per se. To OTHERS in general. I agree. I am of the mindset that it's my fav musicians playing a catalogue I like. I'd honestly go no matter who was singing. The fact that Adam is a great vocalist makes it an easier choice

My last hope is he'll go for the areas we don't see normally - would be a win, win - :D : either we don't have to see his body mutilated OR we get to see something he wouldn't show us otherwise.... Just leave that left arm alone pleeeeease!

Oh and i wanted to tell that i am a good little Glambert and get 10 People, that were not on the AFL-Train, to buy tickets here in Germany (Hamburg) and at least 7 of them bought Adams own Albums. I showed them a lot of YouTubes QAL and Adam alone, believe me A LOT.

He is about the most famous player we have at the moment. Plays for Manchester United so Adam will certainly have a good start with the Manchester audience.
