Their vault is probably like this:  It is! It's actually worse knowing it. The teasing is relentless at times. You thought waiting for Trespassing was tough. The Queen Anthologies were first mentioned in 1994/5.  Interesting note on the additional cameras - I have heard nothing myself still to counter the "film everything, release nothing ( )" mantra. But I'll keep my ears to the ground. Totally random, but I kinda wish Slash could see one of these performances. He'd love it. I've always thought it was so great that he was willing to risk all of his cool points by mentoring on Idol just to work with Adam. If Q+AL comes to the states I wouldn't be surprised if he did more than see the performance. When QPR came to California in '05 Slash joined them for the encore  I've always been a fan of Queen--but I am obsessed with Adam. I hang on his every note, facial expression, body movement. Adam has memorized even Queen fans with his powerful renditions, so (as you all know) it's even more F-ing mind blowing for super-fans like me. But, one surprisingly huge thing I have taken from these concerts is the power of the music itself. Even as focused as I am on vocals, I find myself unable to ignore, and am equally as moved by, the expressiveness of the instrumentation. WWTLF--it couldn't be sung better--but just listen to how Brian picks up where Adam leaves off and is equally as emotion-grabbing. Their songs are so varied, not just from each other but also within themselves. I knew Queen was "rock royalty" but I now truly have FELT the superiority of their music. These men, together, wrote complex masterpieces. It angers me to read reviews by people who must be too focused on what they think should be popular to feel this music. Do they not feel when they hear "Love of my Life"? Are they too busy checking their text messages to notice the solos? Are they able to NOT smile during "Underpressure"? At any age, these men kick the ass of anything made today! Maybe this is the problem with today's music world: people are too focused on what's next to even take in what is now. Part of why Adam is so powerful singing Queen is because he "gets" the music. Adam shines in these concerts. But for once, finally, I think he has met his equals. How awesome it must feel for him to be surrounded by his level of mastery. I am honored to witness them all. Yes As much as I'm sure you're excited to read when a Queen fan appreciates Adam, it is much the same to hear people finally "GET" Queen at times. Everyone knows their songs but sometimes it just doesn't click until you pay attention. Brian has always been an amazing guitarist. His motto was to never distract from the song. To compliment the voice. Everything could be sacrificed for the song itself - no personal glory and thus he could do one or two notes but damn it those 1-2 notes would be perfect and add so much depth. For example, I'm LOVING the added wandering guitar to the I Want To Break Free synth intro. Just lovely. And Roger's drumming is amazing in that he builds a wall of sound. There is a technique he uses where he opens his hi-hat while he hits his bass drum and it just makes a very powerful wall of sound. My friend is a drummer and while not a Queen fanatic always says that Roger is the most powerful drummer he's ever heard. AND of course, the three voices blended so well together. Adam does a good job with that as well and I'm not sure if it's the sound guys getting better with each gig too, but the voices are blending better each gig. |

About the backup pants. Maybe these are what Adam wore to the show before he changed into his stage costumes? 8-) Okay, off to watch videos and then get some real work done. Just like Noreaster, my power tools await. I've already removed an old window from it's frame for repair, reputtying, painting, and new glass. There's no turning back now. Guess what music I'll be listening to? Oh, this is me. ;D  Well, actually, this is more like me. |
