Lelemaple: When you come to know Adam better, you will gain an appreciation as to why the GLAMBERTS have been such avid fans since early 2009. As a result of the Queen collaboration, I have become a fan of Queen. I was not aware of Roger's deafness,and knowing that, it has helped me understand why he continues drumming long beyond the end of a song. Another issue I had with Queen was the band playing too loud and covering up Adam's vocals. That has changed and they are performing more in sync with each other now. Roger is even ending more in sync with Adam. I have 90% of Queen's catalog in my iTunes library. I would love to have "Love Kills" and "I Was Born To Love You" with Adam on vocals on a cd. I'm listening to those songs by Freddie but I would love to have the Adam versions to listen to in my car on the way to work. COUNSELOR, I'm not sure that Roger's hearing loss leaves him deaf. He said he has hearing aids, as do many older folks who are not deaf. I feel very sure that he can hear what he is doing on drums and singing. It would be near impossible to sing in tune without being able to hear. I guess I'm not aware of him playing long after the end of a song. Most of their songs have gigantic cut-offs where Adam often poses with his arm in the air and Roger often stands up for the last big crash. However, I do know that percussionists often tap on their instruments when a song is not being performed. They have what I'd call "twitchy" bodies--tap, tap, thump, thump. They feel rhythms all the time and often times look like they are nervous. |

OT, but there is an interesting documentary called "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work" that I think I recommended here a year or so ago. It's about the ups and downs of a long career, the pressure to keep working, the responsibility to support people who are linked to you, etc. The entertainment business, as we know from following Adam, is not the easiest career path to choose!
