LMAO! There are no B sides for singles anymore! WTF is he talking about! She put it as a track on her Greatest Hits album a few years AFTER Adam had it as a single! Were there B sides in Europe? Didn't they have "singles" released in CD format (until just recently)? WWFM only appeared in the European version of Greatest Hits. I think that guy's definition of "Cover Songs" needs some revision. Someone quoted the author's explanation a couple pages ago. The bolded text (I bolded it) pretty much says it all--grammar and attitude.

IMO, if you're the first singer to sing the song and release it, it's not a cover. You're the original artist of that song. So, LMD is not a cover. Adam was the first to record it and it was released with his vocals. Doesn't matter who wrote it. Avicii didn't sing it. Pink wrote WWFM but it was Adam who recorded and actually released it as a song sung by him. It's not a cover. To me, a cover is a previously recorded and released, well-known song that gets recorded and released by someone else. It's done all the time. Just singing someone else's song onstage live doesn't mean you're "covering" it either. You're just singing it.

Yay! I was hoping he'd sing These Boys at some point in the tour! I love that song so much. It's peppy and sexy and really moves! As Paul McCartney would say, "It's a real toe-tapper!" Hope Adam keeps it in the set list.

Didn't Adam say, "....not playing a trans..." He didn't say transsexual or transgender. He just said "trans." If Frank N. Furter is a transsexual, I would assume that's what Adam meant.
FnF was a transvestite. Generally construed as straight male dressing in female clothes. Yep, you're right. I do know that, but I said it backwards. At any rate, Adam said "trans" referring to what the FNF character is. I'm glad Adam is doing the Eddie character. It will be EPIC and FUN.

I know I'm greedy, but I want to see some LMD/Fever/Shady vids show up. Hope we get some. That's a real highlight of the show for me!

I'm pretty sure the generally accepted meaning of cover includes singing it live--not just recorded and released.

He looks like he should have a bucket and shovel and be sitting in the sandbox with the other 3-yr-olds. I don't get it. Ok seriously - you're a grown ass man ... There are some things you just look ridiculous in after a certain age - splatter pattern long shorts and neon green tube sox are definitely on that list. YMMV.
