Guys, sorry to interrupt the conversation with personal issues, but I have a uk trespassing purchase question. I'm a hopeless luddite. I tried doing the hmv thing but I'm a bit chicken when it comes to spreading my info all over the internet, and downloading all sorts of proxy's and things onto my exhausted old computer, so I gave up. I finally managed to set up a UK itunes account, but can't get the gift-card thing figured out (again, I don't want odd accounts with my cc info at weird places all over the internet--I know, I'm a 30-sum right outa the stone-age). Are there any UK gifters looking to gift Trespassing to someone? I'm happy to donate the right sum to the general kitty, or paypal that person directly. I figure it helps the cause a little and gets me the two bonus tracks. If anyone is interested, PM me. And again, so sorry if this is inappropriately self-absorbed. I will do it with my funds and you could donate to the general kitty ( not to me , I have trouble keeping track as it is ) pm me your email address and I will do it now. |

Bridgey - the thing is the ADAM WANTS IT! that's all that counts IMO. I think what Adam said was (paraphrasing cause can't be bothered going back to find video which has been his only comment) when asked without any time to think about it "sure that would be great, flattered, owe them heaps yada yada" or something like that. But not to quibble fandom has decided this would be great for his career so it must be so. Thankfully there are others around him who can look at the angles and provide him with some perspective as to what hitching his rising star to a falling and failing one might mean. But I'll stay out of it and see what plays out. Latz. Hmmmmm, you must have missed some interviews because Adsam has said he would love to do it in several interviews. |

Going to say it again...Pharrell would make a great judge and talk about cool factor...
He's also very photogenic.
I don't know a thing about Mariah except that I blame her in great part for the Great Melisma Epidemic and don't really care for her music because it makes my dogs howl. Maybe she's a brilliant articulate person and I just don't know about it...

Brian is the most amazingest person EVAH!!! brianmay.com/brian/brianssb/brianssbjul12a.html#13Well, I think we all felt the last couple nights in Hammersmith have been a moment of significance. In fact, perhaps especially last night. The band, as it is now, seems suddenly to have switched into a higher gear - more confident, having more fun … and stepping into new territory … an amazing thought at this stage in our lives and in our careers … to be honest, I would never have thought it possible before this journey with Adam Lambert began. Adam has his own style and path, and there was never any intention that he would be 'another Freddie" - but there are many parallels, in the mechanisms which we've already developed - coming together as an organic band. It's very pure - having no extra guitarist means I am back in the old place, as in the Old Days, completely responsible for holding up the 'wall' of sound, but also completely free to control the dynamics and 'feel', working more or less as a four-piece - something which is only possible because Adam is such a strong pivot and front-man. No backing singers - no dancers - it's pure - somehow it feels like Rock ought to be … … dangerous and stimulating. It's completely - real. In this epoch of auto-tune and hard discs on stage, that's pretty rare these days. And everybody seems to be having fun. Including … totally … US! Many thanks to you guys in the Hammersmith audience - no bunch of rockers could be more supportive and inspiring. The view above is something nobody else sees … it's from Pete Malandrone … my intrepid and unflappable Guitar Tech - this is the amazing sight from the Apollo (Odeon) stage - you guys are beautiful !! Love Bri besides Adamthis was lovely :2tears: |

Not to be negative but listen again to the first verse of Show Must Go On....OUCH.  And the band screwed up a few times too - I Want It All where Rog came in too early, and Fat Bottomed Girls when Adam came in too early.... Nothing concert ruining (though TSMGO came close  ) but there were definitely hiccups. Much better by London though...  Yes, but until a complete London performance or a "Best of" DVD appears, I am happy to watch that Kiev concert in its entirety. Having it all together, instead of in clips, makes it a real experience for me. Guess I'm lucky I'm not a perfectionist... And it isn't just the music - it's the joy of performing they all share...  Yes!!! This is me!! I love watching KIEV from beginning to end! It is a wondrous concert! |

I was lurking on the queenonline forum, and an admin said that the Q+AL merch would be on sale in the online store soon!!
They also were having a discussion as the elmo coat being sold as merch, which i thought was hilarious.
