Label Rumors
8.26.14 by Q3

We know that Adam has a new label. We just do not know what that label is. Now there are a few signs pointing to Warner bros. Records part of Warner Music Group -- which is one of the 3 major labels.

There have been rumors that Adam is signed to Warner Music Group, and within the group to Warner Bros. Records, for a while, but none of this has come from any legit source. It still remain no legit source, but this story popped up on Twitter and it makes some sense.

Please take this with a big chunk of salt.

To give this story a bit of credibility, Linkin Park has their own label, Machine Shop Recordings, which is part of Warner Bros. Records division of WMG.

**

Warner Record Group has three senior executives with ties to Adam....

Rob Cavallo, Chairman
Jeff Fenster, Executive Vice President of A&R at Warner Bros. Records [He was at Jive (2005-2010).]
Kara DioGuardi, Executive Vice President of talent development at Warner Bros. Records

The Story of Oz
8.26.14 by Q3

As Queen + Adam Lambert continue there Australian adventure, I started to think of Australia's nickname -- Land of Oz. I quick trip to the Oxford English Dictionary informed me that the name was not related to the Wizard of Oz as most people believe. Part of what led to the confusion is that in Ozma of Oz, Dorothy Gale is sailing to Australia with her Uncle Henry when she is washed overboard (in a chicken coop, with Billina the yellow hen), and lands on the shore of Ev—a rare instance in which an outsider reaches the Oz landmass through non-magical (or apparently non-magical) means.

But I refuse to let fact get in the way of my fan-tasy! This trip to Oz made me realize that the Queen + Adam Lambert Tour is filled with the characters from the Wizard of Oz.

Her is the principle cast:

Dorothy Gale – A girl from Kansas, who eventually moves to Oz permanently.
Toto – Dorothy's little black dog.
Aunt Em – Dorothy's aunt.
Uncle Henry – Dorothy's uncle.
The Good Witch of the North
The Scarecrow – A living man made of straw, who was the King of the Emerald City after Oz left, but relinquished the title when Ozma came about.
The Tin Woodman (Nick Chopper) – An enchanted man made entirely out of tin and the current Emperor of the Winkies.
The Cowardly Lion – The timid lion and the King of Beasts.
Guardian of the Gates
The Wizard (Oscar Diggs) – The former ruler of Oz, originally a ventriloquist from Omaha, Nebraska, now a skilled wizard after being trained by Ozma.
Glinda – The Good Witch of the South, or Quadling Country, and its benevolent ruler (although in the 1939 MGM movie, she was the Good Witch of the North).
Ozman – Queen and rightful ruler of Oz.
Miss Gulch / The Wicked Witch of the West
Flying Monkeys


The casting is easy....for most the the parts

Dorothy - Adam - he get the big song!!
Professor Marvel / The Wizard of Oz / The Gatekeeper / The Carriage Driver / The Guard - Brian May
Glinda - Roger
The Cowardly Lion - Tiger (he even is named after a big cat)
The Tin Woodman (Nick Chopper) - Neil
The Scarecrow – Spike
Guardian of the Gates - head of security
Ozman - Freddie
Miss Gulch / The Wicked Witch of the West - ????
Flying Monkeys - the guys how are in the lighting walls




This photo has nothing to do with Adam except that it was taken in Australia (where he is right now) and it is gorgeous!
