If f-bombs mean what I think, it's lost its shock factor. I hear that all the time in the halls of my law office. I hear it from P!nk with F*****g Perfect. I even heard the word Bi-otch in church today in a presentation put on by the Confirmation Class. Context is everything. Radio can edit what is sent for radio play.

He probably won't have any F bombs in his new album. Like GT and ALN. But even if he does prob not a big deal. IF the single is sent for radio release. The Radio Edit well sort it out. And he always says Damn on live tv. I always wonder if he would slip up and say the F word by accident lol, but he never does. Their are Explicit versions for a reason. I think Adams moved on though. From what he has said. He is moved forward to a more Bluesey, Earthy direction. i wonder if he has been inspired by the recent political climate? Maybe. I wonder if we well see Glam Rock make a come back. Who knows. FYE was his highest selling album, if someone can correct me. In any regard. Hope hear something soon. Any new before the first Queen show in June.

I think it makes it harder to rise on itunes when you have a clean and explicit version. Adam does not get enough radio exposure for two versions. Seems he always has to put out the Dr Luke or Max Martin songs first. By the time their two singles are done, it takes so long that the more promising ones have little chance. As for the Trespassing album, I rather liked BTIKM but did not care for NCOE. But my favorites were Shady, Chokehold, and Runnin. Don't know if any or which would get radio play tho. Probably none of anyone's favorites would get much without a committed push. For whatever reason, I don't think it was there and sadly the outcome would have been the same. Fingers crossed that something works for era 4.

Hoping he doesn't use the any F-bombs on A4. I think it is up to Adam and his team. Doesn't matter one way or the other to me, and really will have no commericial impact. They can do a radio edit if it happens to be on a single, and the "clean" album version get issued but hardly anyone buys them. It is 2017.

This is a really interesting article. I can see why Adam would retweet it.

If Adam wants to use a good old fashion and honest F-bomb for A4, I have no problem with it. The word hardly even registers to me as bad anymore. You hear it everywhere. There is almost no shock to it at all. I know radio would have a patch word to cover it, if he did go that route.So all would be ok. The words that I REALLY have problems with are when women are called hoes and bitches on songs. That, imo, is so much worse than fuck. Who hasn't heard fuck 10 jabillion times in their life? Just trying to say that there can be worse things we can hear in music. Trespassing....that album still hurts my heart by what happened to it. I do remember that Dr Luke was supposed to get the first shot of the singles he did for radio. Obviously a deal was cut with Adam and Dr Luke. My question has always been if Adam really wanted to do that, or he had no choice. Dunno. Probably will never know. I thought for sure having Pharrell and Adam both writing the title track, that it was a no brainer to have Trespassing as the first song to radio. You also know that Pharrell didn't come cheap either. So to not use the song shocked me a lot. (BTW, by A4 I'm not so shocky anymore. I learned over the yers that anything can and will happen. lol) Trespassing era had so many great songs. I don't think there is even 1 I don't like. Still play it at home and in car all the time. Just makes me a little sad for what it could have been. imo, Adam was way ahead of the curve with those songs and funky beats. Within a year everyone was looking for funky producers themselves for their own projects. Adam really is a trendsetter, and not just musically. Men follow his fashion and hair stylings too. Hope we get a taste of A4 before QAL kicks off.

Any new before the first Queen show in June. (My bolding above) interesting how different words resonate.... i never knew that 'damn' was considered a swear word until recently. Would have had no idea that it was remarkable in any way on live TV. i use it all the time, along the lines of 'dash it' or 'blast'....but never knew it had the potential to cause any kind of offence at all. Don't know if it's a geographical thing. I use 'f#¥k' too.....a spin off from these Adam years, I remember the first time I used it I was half expecting to be struck by lightning. oh how Adam has changed me....

I use 'f#¥k' too.....a spin off from these Adam years, I remember the first time I used it I was half expecting to be struck by lightning. oh how Adam has changed me.... Damn isn't a swear word. In the 'clean' version he always replaces F*ck with Damn and that also is what he uses on TV. That is considered fine. The two versions of the songs did mess up his position in iTunes though. As both versions were selling and if you would add those to each other he would have charted higher in iTunes which would have led to more visibility. Also the replacing with Damn messed up some of the song I think. We had the F*ck version of GT on the radio, but there was a Damn music video. Somehow they send the Damn version of ALN to radio while there was a F*ck version of the music video. I too had to get used to using the F word when singing along to Adam's songs. I'm not raised with a lot of swear words. But I do like the explicit version of ALN more than the clean one. I must say that Adam really likes it when he can sing the explicit version of his songs. Just listen to how he shouts it out here (the first time he could sing the explicit version live on TV I think): www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0tuMj7CnDQ

Oh I misunderstood 3Ku1's allusion there. But some people do seem to consider 'damn' a 'bad' word - though obviously in the grand scheme of things, not nearly as high up the scale as F..k. (I can say it now but not write it.... ) And I think you're right about Adam loving to sing the explicit words - but it does seem counter productive to produce a song that will need two versions and split the sales figures.
