I am one of the members who read the thread without comment. Sometimes I feel we get off track with too much discussion on things that are secondary to Adam. I know it was somewhat related but it went on and on and on until things were said that were hurtful. We all have opinions but some things are better unsaid. Please everyone, I love this place and what's coming is so exciting. We need all of us here to support him and of course FLAIL together.

I just found this newly uploaded video about the Queenbert concert in Hamburg on youtube! It's a short reportage from the NDR (= Norddeutscher Rundfunk = our official TV- and radio-broadcast-station for the whole North of Germany) that was also shown on TV (in the TV show "DAS") a few days after the concert! Unfortunately the reportage only shows Queen fans who like Adam but don't love him and who use the "FLD" all the time in their short interviews! So it's not bad but also not too good, lol!!! But in this connection I remembered another short reportage that I also saw on TV in another show of the NDR ("Hamburg Journal") at that time. I looked it up and found it on their homepage in the internet (imbedded in an article) and now I have a question/request! Could someone "tech-savvy" here upload that imbedded video from the article to youtube and/or vimeo to save it because I don't know if it will be removed from their internet page after a while?! That would be really great because that video is a very nice one! The people who are interviewed before and after the concert all rave about Adam and also the reportage itself only says nice things about him! www.ndr.de/unterhaltung/events/Queen-fette-Rockshow-mit-neuem-Frontmann,queenlambert100.html Thanks in advance! Hi Betty, to answer your question from another post, proboards mistakenly thinks that web sites can't have commas in them. That's usually true, just not in this case so nothing you can do about it. Nice vids, I hope we can archive them. Proboards will not automatically embed a link with a comma in it, but you can use the reply tools to do it. It's pretty easy: 1. Copy the list. 2. Click on this button 3. Paste the link into the space for URL. And change the text from "link" to something more specific if you want. And you will get this: Link to Videobetty I tried to rip that video but could not. I did not try very hard. I will take another shot at it later today.

In yesterday thread I was accused that it was me who leave comment on her DA account (it wasn't me), that I'm traitor who betrayed Adam's trust (really, thanks for that), I read that artist should shut up and hide their works, and if they ask for respect for theirs rights they are full of themselfs and again they should be quiet and be thakfull that anybody want to look at theirs works at all. They will be punished and humiliated. On Twitter it was even worse. This is the way I make a living - I make art. And now I know that a lot of people in this fandom don't have respect for my work at all. I understand that Adam is the most important person here, and his needs are above anything else but is it was really nessesary to do this things in his defence? So I don't know what to do really with my affiliation to this fandom. I'm still Adam's fan but now I feel rather strange and little lonley here. I have to think about it. I sent you a pm I think a few fans over really overreacted to that whole Ghost Town image mess. On Twitter it was very bad. But I think that everyone involved thought about it and finally realized that artists own their work and that illustrators are artists. This is not just an issue for visual artists but for everyone who creates intellectual property. I hope you do not judge either this forum or the larger Adam fandom on a few posts by people who were either not knowledgeable about what they were posting, where momentarily carried away with emotion or one poster on this forum who was trying to stir up trouble and attacking people. I have banned this poster but cannot undo the hurt this poster caused. Please accept my apologies for allowing that to happen. I so rarely ban anyone from this forum -- it was the first time in about a year I had to resort to it.

Thank you Adam for this wonderful pic from M&G in Warsaw - one of the best TOHT concerts ever!

Well, I understand your feelings can be hurt and I totally understand the artist want their art to be credited properly and I agree with it. Anway, I think two your yesterday's posts were the reason for some fans to think you wrote the comment (comments actually) on her DA. I won't take them here, but they are both on yesterday's thread (I just checked). The truth is, both comments on the DA are not visible now (the commenter hid them). Though quiet on this board I followed all the story quite closely. As I said, I agree, the credit should be given where credit is due. Still I have a feeling the way all the situation was resolved was unfortunate. And I was sorry for Adam, I can't help it. He didn't deserve that all.

Plus, I always feel sad when we lose a member due to hurt feelings. I am really looking forward to hearing Adam's new song and crossing my fingers and toes that it will do well. There are so many songs put out into the world every day and it all seems a bit hit and miss as to what gains traction.

I think yesterday's artist flap was totally preventable had both sides taken a moment to check out what exactly happened. The artist had a knee-jerk reaction and made accusations without knowing the circumstances of the situation. Blaming Adam and calling him a thief could have been prevented had she kept her cool and handled it maturely. I would think a professional would do this. However, then the other side - defenders of Adam - retaliated in kind, immaturally, and chaos ensued. I see fault distributed equally and hopefully all learn from this incident.

Nonchallance, I don't neccessarily agree with some points you made yesterday, but please don't leave!!!! The personal attacks made by this one poster who was banned were absolutely mean and I don't understand why you have been attacked so badly.. Please stay!!!

IF he answered that question -- and I am sure he would duck it somehow -- new direction, totally different, evolved, etc. -- I am 110% sure that it would NEVER be either BTIKM or ALS. Based on the teensy, tiny bit we've heard of GT, it kind of reminds me of "Runnin'," for some reason. I don't know if it's just the lower register, or what promises to be a similar kind of pulsing rhythm, or what, but the snippets just immediately reminded me of "Runnin'," a happy thing for me since that's one of my two favorite Adam songs ever. I had the same feeling, but rather due to the darkness of the lyrics. Yesterday we were in the car with my wife and she was in charge of picking the music. She put in Trespassing and commented that "Take Back" is her favorite song on the album when it played first in a random sequence. Followed by the obligatory "I like it when he does not shout". I answered that he does not do that on most of the songs. Then "Chokehold" played and she said "Oh, I love that one too". Then was "OOL"'s turn and I got to hear "Oh, THIS is my favorite! I wish he would make a whole album like that" to which I answered "I know, you are in good company with your taste. A new album is coming soon and I have the feeling it might fit your taste..." If TOH is anything like the Dark Side Of Trespassing mood-wise, I will be a happy man, with a happy wife

Still I have a feeling the way all the situation was resolved was unfortunate. And I was sorry for Adam, I can't help it. He didn't deserve that all. I would like to set aside any discussion of what individual fans did here, on other sites and on Twitter while the illustration situation was unfolding. So I am CLOSING any discussion rehashing yesterday's posts. I am not closing discussion of this issue and copyrights because this is an important issue. *** I have also stayed mostly out of this discussion but JMHO. The issue was about more that the artist wanting credit -- the illustrator did not want her illustration used. She did not give permission for her work to be used, she did not give her permission for her work to be modified, she was not compensated for her work being used, and she reserved her rights properly. Adam is the one who posted that image on his banner without knowing where it originated. He really did make a mistake. He corrected it and removed the image as soon as he became aware of the issue -- which was the only correct action to take. JMHO it was a very silly mistake for someone with Adam's experience and prominence to make. I do credit the illustrator with being calm about it and not responding to the Twitter barrage that hit her. She is the only one of the three parties who did nothing wrong.
