I know, I know, I was just chit chatting... But among the lingering ones, the one I talked about would be the most annoying. All is great indeed  All is great if you don't read Queenonline forum  Yes, I see you there, rpeura! You and a very few brave souls are fighting a lost cause over there....but bless you for trying!  |

rpeura - I think you are a shining star on QOL. You are an example of how to act as a fan of Adam in a hostile state  You keep your sense of humor and you can even laugh with the trolling a bit, but you stay supportive and it wins over everyone. Even that Adam haters tend to like you Like you I tend to try to be extra diplomatic here because I know where I am. I don't hide that generally I'm here for QAL and while I like Adam, I was not a big fan of Trespassing. But I know I don't need to say that all the time to throw it in people's faces. And when some question my talking Queen on here instead of Adam, I simply smile and understand that not everyone here likes Queen either. Lucky for me it is far more Queen friendly here than it is Adam friendly there |

I think it has been a huge bonus for us here on Atop to have Talon, who is a superb communicator, come here and model the kind of behaviour we should be exhibiting on other sites. We have learned....willingly and eagerly...asbout the disco logy and history of Queen in a way that will enhance our enjoyment of the upcoming concerts immeasurably. He is proof positive that one person, being sensitive to context, and willing to consider others viewpoints, accomplishes so much more that an army of proselytizers, armed with "the truth". Thank you so much Talon.

IDK folks... I kinda find both QOL and QZ extremely entertaining, although the resident psychopaths/trolls are unfortunately repetitive...IMO they lack imagination. I really can't see how anyone can take them seriously... they are funny! Obviously we are not supposed to talk about other boards so all this will get deleted anyway...as it should.... |

It's not just a question of who is friendlier to whom on fansites, it's a question of purpose.
There is a price for this nonsense of running a mudslinging feasts between Adam fans and Adam trolls in the ring. It's called lost opportunity.
Enough said about other folks.
Thanks Talon, for enriching our site with so much learning opportunity for those of us who are interested.
The reality is that some Adam fans are also full size Queen fans, like our fearless leader, then there are those who are familiar with Queen on a GH level and are now beginning to look deeper because of this QAL cooperation, and there are those that knew almost nothing about Queen before. You are giving all of us a lot of valuable information and I wish all folks newly interested in Queen could have access to what you have to share.

Thank you Holst, rihannsu, talon and Q3 for responding! Yes, they will be playing both Osaka and Tokyo, so for sure they will be playing back to back for 2 nights. The train ride from the two cities will probably be around 3 hrs (2.5 from Osaka to Tokyo, but the venue is a bit further away near the bay). This is the same venue when he did it solo in 2012 (though the order may have been flipped, Tokyo first Osaka 2nd), so he should know how to cope. I just didn't see any info about Korea so I thought I'd ask to see if I missed anything! Q3, I didn't know that Q+PR did 6 shows! I sure hope that they do some more shows there so fans can experience the full set.  I know there are plenty of Japanese twitter users that post stuff immediately and with English translations, no less. And I have see them posted immediately here so I am sure I won't have much to contribute. But in the coming months and during the concerts, i will try to chime when I can |

Please do share, usagi.
And I didn't realize Q+PR did 6 shows in Japan either. What other venue do u think would be appropriate for them there?
