I'm in the heart of Walmart country, but no Walmarts anywhere around me sell tics. According to TM, the closest place to me is a Publix grocery store an hour away. Think I'll just stick with online. It worked really well for me on Monday. I'm very pleased. |

Thank you gain, LadyM! Watching Adam from about 3:35 to 4:25 is such a study in all of his different colours showing up and him trying to figure out which ones get to play right now, right there, in London with a preponderance of Queen fans in the audience. You can see the energy coursing through him and trying to manifest, and he has so much of both feminine and masculine energy that it can be confusing and there are moments where he's almost prowling hungrily up to Brain and then seems to check himself (Yikes! NOT Tommy!) and other moments when you think he may just do something very Nijinski-in-the-Rite-of-Spring but he reins it in ... this kid personifies the Dionysian energy when he's onstage, just like Freddie did, but expressed in his own unique way. It must be like trying to take a sip of water from a fire hose, to decide what you DO with that blast of energy from the music and the audience -- how do you choose what side of you to express and channel it somewhere wild and wonderful and yet appropriate ... fascinating! |

No perks they had already smelled blood in the waters. Wasn't worth it. Next level they would negotiate was 70 rooms, I was trying for 20. |

I am a total novice in all things "touring", so my first exposure was the GNT...around 120 dates in about 6 months period, all over the world...many back to back dates...on a (I assume) limited budget with little luxury... granted the set was not long, but with no rest.... I assume Adam will be free of dealing with any/all organizational issues, he will be on stage for about 90 mins with a break... I see the SINGING part to be VERY CHALLENGING though, and so I take Paul's comment as a reflection on Adam's SINGING ability... and my inner mama-bear gets really rattled...  What makes a Queen tour bigger and more grueling than other tours aside form the material, which is right up Adam's alley anyway? Well the material is up his alley but it is usually a pretty long set with some tough songs. And there's a difference trying to connect/reach/front a band for 2,000-3,000 vs 350,000 (or even 20,000) The sets are also much bigger and therefore more physically demanding. The press tends to be bigger and tougher on these tours. AND you have a fanbase that has to be won over. So I definitely didn't see it as Paul questioning Adam's singing. It was more just saying it is a tough gig for the vocal chords and for physical conditioning in general as well as mentally.
If you're talking about "a tough gig for the vocal chords" I think all the songs from FYE that Adam sang during GNT are right up there with Queen songs. They're challenging songs for the vocal cord. That's why they have to lower the notes a bit.. but Adam being Adam.. he was still belting it out quite often during GNT.
Let me ask you have QPR performed in front of 350,000 or even 20,0000 people on their tour?

And, though I didn't notice at the time, the IG from Paris showing a monument had a definite resemblance to the Queen logo. (Can someone post it?) I doubted these clues until I cracked the 4 friends IG video. That was the Nile Rodgers, AVICII, Mystery Skulls and Adam recording sessions. Here are the Queen clues...... *** Solved -- IG 2 days before announcement, late on 3.3.14.   3.2.13 IG photo - the spinx is a part lion -- the lions are on Queen logo.  Queen Logo  It's his 2nd IG from Paris though. Can someone post that one? It looks almost exactly like the Queen logo! This one!I can never copy IGs. If someone could do it, that'd be great! TY! instagram.com/p/lDuUhIONNV/ |
