Didn't Adam joke a little at LL expense in one of his interviews? Maybe in Rolling Stone, I'm not sure. He said his mother insisted he got a good security system for his house (the previous one), and told him how LL's house was broken into by some burglars, and he said "Mom, but it's LL, she probably stole from them first". Anyone else remembers that? ETA: I thought about it a little, and I seem to remember that after a while, he tweeted something complimentary about her. Perhaps he wanted to mend the impression. But I don't remember what he said. Maybe I dreamed it Memory is not one of my stronger sides...

Anyone else remembers that? I dont think it really matters. Im sure Adam or anyone wouldent be Friends with someone whose disloyal or dishonest.

Yes, the joke about the security system was in the RS interview from May 2012! Ah! It was worth mentioning just to see this picture again! One of the best ever.

I'm sure many appreciate the way you're always relaying how other Queen fans feel. However, I'd prefer they come and post here themselves if they would like to share their feelings on the subject of QAL, rather than receive that information from a third party, so they can, if they wish, explain why they feel the way they do. Of course you would. Heck, I would too. It's sometimes a bit strange being the only Queen before Adam fan here. But obviously for various reasons it isn't happening. So I will continue to to give one Queen fan's opinion (mine own) and I will relate some general feelings from Queen fans I interact with which may be a small sample in the grand scheme of things but does offer a nice microcosmic view point as I can tell you I have Queen fans all over the spectrum... Also, if you've ever read Talon's comments on QOL I think you'd be hard pressed to call him an Adam fan. What are you talking about? Anyone who wants to can go over to QOL and look up all of my posts (I'm soxtalon there) and you can see for yourself. I have always maintained on both boards the same opinion of Adam. - I watched him a bit in Idol and thought he had a great voice. - I got FYE and thought it was a decent album but that he could do better. - I got Trespassing and really was not a fan. It was okay but I thought the production buried his voice and there was too many machines.... - I highly enjoy him in QAL and think he does a great job..I do think he sings the ballads better and that he doesn't handle the rock numbers quite as well although that has improved over the course of the two tours. - I hope his third album is more organic with real instruments, etc. I will buy Adam 3 and give it a shot. When you look at that I think with what cassie recently posted, she wouldn't be a "fan" either then. BUT I have said the same things on both sites as I'm sure some like rperua or lelemaple who go to both sites regularly could attest! So basically, prove it or retract your accusation of me basically being two faced. Talon, I gladly attest And thank you very much for sharing your knowledge of Queen with us. Along QAl you have given us a great, compact Queen knowledge package!

Q3I've been trying to declutter my life. Are we allowed to revise our names? I'd like to be just 4Ms. thanks! Hey, welcome back!!! I'm glad to see you:))) I'm not Q3, but I shortened my name a while ago. These are the steps, if I recall well: profile - edit profile - personal - display name. The only downside is that when I log in, I still have to use my old name. Although I always check the box 'remember me', sometimes it doesn't:) So, don't forget your old name:)

Talon -
Time differences mean I am late to this.
Thank you so much for every bit of your contribution here; it has always been interesting and informed and fair minded - and your natural bias has always been expressed with gentle humour and respect - and in the best traditions of this board. It adds an extra dimension to our QAL life here and I always look forward to your input.
Here I rush to add 'in my opinion' - for those who probably won't hesitate to add it for me
The last few weeks/perhaps months, have made me miss so much of the feel of the old Atop.
Talon - I hope you won't be something else to miss.

I was also a long-time Queen fan before Adam, and I know there are quite a few of us here *waves* -- I actually cried when I was 25 feet from Brian May in Vancouver this summer! Seeing Queen live was one of those things I thought I had missed completely, so Adam and Queen has been a fulfillment of a dream in a number of ways. After that concert, I decided to fly across the country for less than 48 hours to see them again... Amazing. And Talon, I love all your Queen knowledge--it puts mine to shame! Waves back. Well said. I too cried. Having the privilege of hearing a great rock band perform with a man that can sing their catalog believably was almost too good to be true. And, for me, I was transported by the production.
