Just, saw on twitter Longineu Parsons left Yellowcard Oooh, that's a blast from the past. Yipes. It seems that reunion didn't go so well. I'll be honest though, Longineu wasn't my favorite drummer (Isaac is). He was technically great, but to me he just looked...bored...a lot of the time. YMMV. is my favorite too...he just laid out his heart and was so committed and engaged...I really missed him. |

Just got this from the Joint! I hope the poor girl hasn't been over whelmed by Glamberts bugging her!
Hello,
I am reaching out regarding your reservation for the Queen + Adam Lambert show that goes on-sale tomorrow. I have received your signed credit card authorization forms, thank you. Your tickets will be processed after the national on-sale begins, and I will send final confirmation after that.
The Joint VIP ticket blocks are not for sale through the AXS ticketing system, or even through the Box Office. Your tickets are safe in our system until they have been processed, and you don’t need to worry about the national on-sale.
Due to the high demand for VIP ticketing for these shows, please allow extra time for final confirmations to come to you. VIP tickets are processed manually, and there are many to process. Please be patient as we fulfill all of the VIP orders, and we will get final confirmation to you as quickly as possible.
Thank you in advance for your patience,
|

I think we have to remember that the comments Paul made wondering if Adam was ready for this gig were made 2 years ago before the first group of Queen concerts. Even Adam admitted that being in front of such a large crowd the first night was daunting. I think Adam has since proved to himself and everyone else that he is up for a major Queen tour. I bet Paul would not question his readiness now. Agreed! This was the point I was trying to make previously. To me it was almost a word of advice as in - get yourself physically and mentally ready! This is a big time showcase! I would also like to add that I remember looking into this a little more at the time and when Paul made those comments he knew NOTHING about Adam. He was told that Adam was on Idol but he said he didn't know who Adam was so he knew absolutely nothing about Adam's background or experience. He literally only knew what the interviewer told him which was that Adam had been on Idol. |

mirages! you welcome, sweetheart! I'm glad you like it.  This shirt is really cool, I always liked it...   How'd you know that's my fave pic of Adam? That one, and the one where he appears to be juggling the sun. We love the same man .. I will say love...  |

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?
Yes I agree that some of the FYE stuff is up there as far as vocally challenging, but I feel Queen's hopping from genre to genre from soft power ballad to near heavy metal is more strenuous. Not just the notes, but the sliding from style to style. Just my opinion. and for the second question, Yes, QPR actually did Kiev a few years before QAL did. QPR did it in 2008 in the exact same square and was released on DVD/CD in 2009 And that was 350,000 as well and that was without the added benefit of having Elton John on the bill as well! And yes they did tours of Japan (some gigs @ 25,000) , South America (Buenos Aires was 45,000) and other venues. So while many venues were at the 10-15,000 range some regularly popped over those numbers.  Queen Concertsis a great place to learn about audience, etc. from any Queen or related gig I thought QPR were playing in Kharkov, Ukrain and not in Kiev...not that it matters...and it was some huge crowd in hundreds of thousands... |

oooh...you're right. I'm embarrassed  It was Kharkov for QPR. It was set up in almost the same fashion as Kiev was which is why I got them confused!!! BUT same audience size of 350,000 |

did you miss my post? :D 350,000 was the biggest at Kharkov (thanks for the correction!) Better than wiki is Queen Concerts
Specifically better for Kharkov: Kharkov |

Between Adam's songs & the covers he chooses, he covers all of the genres you mentioned. I will reiterate again, Adam's concerts on the GNT were 100% him. No duets, no long guitar or drum interludes, no solos by anyone else on that stage. All Adam! And as far as moving around & covering the stage, from what I've seen of the 7 Queen shows from 2012, there is a lot more dancing and moving in Adam's own shows solo tour. Just my opinion. |
