I guess when I see niche I think someone means a very specific sound or style like say Michael Buble or Josh Groban not having a bigger scale audience because that's not really a niche is it but rather more success? Perhaps I could have chosen a better word.
I do completely agree, Adam needs better musicians backing up his amazing voice and nothing has made that more apparent than this tour with Brian and Roger. Adam deserves musicians who rise to the caliber of his ability. The best and worst thing about Adam though is his loyalty so I don't see him changing backing bands anytime soon.
Unfortunate. But probably true.
I suppose I just don't pay attention or care who writes the songs and rarely think twice about it and I would venture a guess than most casual music fans don't either. I do agree that Matt Bellamy has a fantastic voice but again I don't think he could have sang Soaked "better" than Adam did nor do I think Soaked sounds like a Muse song, which interestingly enough when Muse first arrived on the scene people called them a Radiohead rip off so I guess it happens to to a lot of artists.
I don't really get much into who can sing a song better. Different interpretations are fine, especially when you get at that level. This isn't William Hung singing it or whatever. And maybe I'm more in tuned with the music but as soon as I heard the first few lines of Soaked, I knew it was a Muse track.
which musicians were involved in FYE v. Trespassing? it was all studio musicians if I am not mistaken. Trespassing has a more electronic element but Nile Rodgers plays on that album ffs, how much more real do the musicians need to be lol. For me I skip more songs on FYE than I do on Trespassing so I enjoy Trespassing more but I still think Adam has better albums in him than either of those two.
I don't know about which musicians were doing what on what album - I never really looked and I am going by my ears only, but I can tell from listening that Trespassing relied far more on samples and programmed instruments. Hell I hated that when Queen did it in the 80s...During the Works album for instance, I'm like you have fucking Roger Taylor right there and you're going to let the track have a computerized programmed drum?
I don't feel like you are attacking Adam. You gave your opinion and I responded with mine.
My mistake - It seemed like with the "making Queen songs his bitch", you were possibly trying to lash out at me because I had annoyed you by attacking Adam or something. I have had some previous discussions with some Adam fans who started attacking Freddie to hurt me or something because I had supposedly slandered Adam. *shrug* BUT I take it all in stride
I apologize for lumping you in with them.
