Another one bites the dust
TONY WALL Last updated 05:00, July 12 2015
Judge Thomas Ingram came up with the quote of the week while sentencing AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd to home detention in Tauranga. "Queen replaced Freddie Mercury," he said, in response to defence claims that Rudd was integral to the band's sound. It sparked water cooler debate, a vote on Stuff.co.nz - 66 per cent said Rudd was completely replaceable - and "analysis" pieces by rock experts around the world. Was Judge Ingram right? Can a band - or any team or organisation - carry on without a key member? Queen was a bad example. Mercury's death in 1991 was pretty much the end of the band as it was known, although the surviving members teamed up with former Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers and more recently American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert for tours.
But Queen was at pains to point out these two were not "replacements" for Mercury. Perhaps Judge Ingram should have looked closer to home for his analogy - in fact to Rudd's own band. AC/DC not only survived the death of lead singer Bon Scott but flourished, releasing Back in Black, their biggest-selling album, with new frontman Brian Johnson. It's fair to say, though, that replacing a flamboyant lead singer is a hell of a lot harder than finding a new drummer (apologies to sticks men everywhere).

TheOriginalLUCY @ladistardust 18m18 minutes ago Since GT is still #25 US POP & Remix EP now #45, I guess most fans didn't get the 'buy singles individually' memo. Or didn't read/understand it but it is what it is She is confused and does not understand how iTunes charts work. ETA: It is not surprising because iTunes makes it confusing with the way they encourage splitting tracks. GT is on US iTunes 10 times now.Her conclusion is also probably wrong too. I think fans got the message.

I wanted to revisit Adam 's performance in Wicked. At one time there were YTs of the entire musical. They have since been made private. Then I looked for the YT I think I recall that only had Adam's parts. Nada. Finally found an non-YT video of Adam selections on "dailymotion" courtesy of 4Ms. I can't download it, and I don't want to lose it like the YTs. So, does anyone have a reference to any of these videos to download? Thanks. I will check with devenlane on Twitter.
