Speculation may be a "waste of time", but it is kind of fun. Others might say spending hours a day on a fan site is a waste of time too. tdb Gosh, I have not been considered naive in years. Thank you! I long for innocence. BTW, the dancers can stay  |

Exactly. Adam has to want it, don't you think? From what I have seen and heard....Adam is extremely driven. And he wants more success. It seems like he makes the best out of every situation he is put in to, but I do not believe he is completely satisfied. I think speculation is a waste of time, mine included. How would Adam gain any continuity as he kept switching musicians until he found a Brian May or Nile Rodgers in the making? Established musical geniuses are not going to join a backup band and there is absolutely no way to know who will be the perfect fit. It also seems to me that Adam wants and maybe NEEDS to be surrounded by people he enjoys and trusts on stage. I've been thinking a lot as I watch these videos how much fun he has, how chilled everyone is as they leave the stage, not having to worry about ego issues like who leaves first or last. If something goes wrong, ummm, lyric fail, it is no big deal because the backup singers and the band "handle it." I do understand what you all are saying, but I think you are naive in thinking the band is hampering Adam in any way. AND, I think he is having fun. Not that success is not important to him, but I think given the choice of a sterile, stilted, programmed performance with elite musicians and being able to chill and connect with those sharing the stage with him as well as with the audience, he'd choose the latter. C'mon, no mention of the dancers? I LOVE Terrance, and Johnny to a lesser degree, but Adam could do better and have expert choreography. Instead he chooses "good" dancers with whom he shares a history. I think we all should respect his choices and love them as he seems to. As always, JMO Well said savvy92 ! |

Wondering if you all listened to that live stream the other day, from Moscow? It had to be the most perfect "mix" ever! And the streamer was right in the "sweet spot!" The band sounded amazing!!  I was "offline" for several days because of visitors but I was lucky enough to catch that! It was AWESOME! One of the very best! |

My son just recently graduated from Berklee School of Music and he knows how much I love Adam. He loves Adam's voice but he won't listen to him because he doesn't care for the band. He doesn't think they are anywhere near the caliber of musicians that Adam needs to surround himself with. He pointed out current musicians that college students love such as the band for Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and Muse. He thinks Adam's musicians are very below average.He likes the words that Adam writes but thinks he needs help with the musical scores. He thinks he should work with musicians like Muse and perform powerful music like them, not the light pop stuff. But we all know how Adam defends his band choices, hopefully it won't hurt him to a point where he can't have all the success his amazing voice deserves. My son did say he'd go see him if he toured in the states with Queen; thought their music suited his voice much better.

And perhaps #3 will be different - he seems to have hinted that it might be. The band wasn't on either album and there are some songs on Trespassing that I don't consider light pop stuff. |

Thank you! I long for innocence. BTW, the dancers can stay Ha, see, double standard (dancers.) And to hell with those people who think spending time on a fan site is a waste of time, cause if that's the case, the last 4 years of my life have been wasted. PS: If it helps, I DO miss Isaac. PSS: Innocence is overrated. |
