Charisma sure is an interesting concept. I agree that Adam sure has lots of it. in politics it is always a tricky thing, the one with the charisma does not have to be the one with the best politicscapacity, but politicians are often judged on the first thing (charisma). And i don't think that is a good thing in politics. Although i do understand that ond part of a piliticians job is to bring the story to the people and some charisma sure helps with that. And can you "learn" some charisma? Or is it like "you have it or you don't?" Some people just have it, but you can learn it, or develop it...in my opinion.

Frankly, that makes it even worse. So sloppy. No newbie who is seeking their first contact is going to pay for a site experience that appears to be so totally out of date and uncared for. That seems a real shame, and a wasted opportunity.. I thought they would have gotten it into shape before TOH. When I think of the high caliber of some of the fan work I've seen.... no excuse!

They buried that hatchet years ago and hopefully fans will let it stay buried. Adam liked an instagram posting a few days back, I didn't capture it but to paraphrase: "The hardest thing in life is to learn which bridges to burn and which to cross"
I think he has this figured out. Who's 'they'? Adam and Aaron. a short story for newbies: There was a "gate" created by Aaron Hicklin back in 2009/10 (?)when he published an open letter to Adam in OUT Mag, criticizing Adam's way of being gay...and that was at the same time as the same OUT mag featured Adam... - it is probably somewhere on ATOP all archived by our wonderful 4Ms... Since then both Adam and Aaron mended their relationship, but the fandom never forgets :D

Shipping time for the equipment is likely a big factor with not rehearsing in england like the did before. My guess is they send the gear and the techs over well ahead of time. It gets set up and tested. Then they join and rehearse. If something gets lost or doesn't work there is time to scramble and get it corrected. Bands usually airship everything, so not that much more time than UK to Toronto. The tech crew needs 1 day to set it all up. Queen has more then one backup for everything -- for Q+AL so far, Brian had 14 amps and used 3, Neil had 18 amps and used 4. The lighting and screen are all modular. The only things there is only one of are the Q (tubular steel and not likely to be damaged) and the catwalk. There is, of course, only one red special and that travels with Pete. I am not sure if there is a back-up couch but there are two campaign bottles. *** Queen usually rehearses without the set and equipment first. They with the stage setup. Also, in the past the band rehearsed without Adam for a few days. They might do this in the UK. I am still really surprised that there will be no UK rehearsals with Adam -- and I am just a bit skeptical. Shoshanna has not always been reliable about Q+AL info. chaise longue
