As far as we know, Brian has a free day today. I wonder what he will be doing and if Adam will be involved in any way.

Why was he there at all? Did they just ignore each other? Was too focused on Adam. I didn't even see what MP did when award was announced. Why was he there? He is a Rock musician. It wasn't just award winners there. Seriously, why would you look away from this: to watch this: I made it small so as not to offend anyone's sensiblities. 8D

I am sure he has connections that afforded him an invite. Another irony. Didn't the rift happen because Monte wanted to collaborate with Adam on a hard rock album and Adam wasn't interested? And now, Adam wins a prestigious award for being frontman for "The Best Rock Band".

A Monte/Adam collaboration was not included on Trespassing and feelings were hurt.

I know MP is a rock guitarist (didn't know he has a band though), but I'm just surprised he chose to go to an award show where he knew Adam is gonna be, and probably guessed he'd win, same as we guessed it. IDK, to me, him being there and watching his former friend and band mate take an award, give a speech, and win the honor and respect of everyone, makes him look kind of pathetic, doesn't it? or maybe it's just me being a bad person...

Call me a cock-eyed optimist (obscure musical theater reference), but I think it would be wonderful if this was an opportunity for both to bury the hatchet and remember the good times together. Celebrate the work that both are now doing. Hey, it could happen. (Tho' not likely, I admit.)

I doubt anyone in that room had any idea of their history and of course Monte would want to be at the awards. It was a great networking opportunity for a working musician, so not pathetic at all from my POV.

I know it's not Adam related..but wondering if anyone's seen footage of the Kings of Chaos performance with Brian? If a fan video does not show up, I think we will get it as part of the TV show. Kings of Chaos performed "Tie Your Mother Down" regularly in concert in 2013, so it was probably pretty awesome -- vs the normal throw it together supergroup for an award show closer. Yeah I'm really hoping it's part of the broadcast which is sure to get edited...I've seen vids of KoC playing TYMD a few times and know Joe Elliot is one of Brian's best friends (and the guy who performed TYMD at the Freddie tribute) so I think it should be a very kick ass version Thanks! Cassie, Brian and Roger have said many times they were never looking for a frontman. Since they haven't toured since mid 1990s, I believe them. I think the collab in Vegas was a great big, "Wow! Ah ha" for them. Thanks. I know they were not actively looking. Not even thinking about it. My curiosity was why Brian keeps repeating that the collaboration was "organic." Why is it important to him to put that out there in the interview? Is it for the fans? Or is it because he thinks how they ended up together is really cool? Also, didn't Queen tour extensively with Paul Rodgers in 2005-2009 or something like that? First performed with PR in 2004, toured in 2005-2006, took a break in 2007 to record an album and then toured in 2008. As for "organic", it's a Brian buzz word. Queen's collaboration with Paul was also called organic by Brian MANY times...it just means that he wants it clear that B&R have never searched out anyone to play with them. It came together partially by chance. For QAL, the Idol finale went into needing a singer for the EMAs. For Paul, both Queen and Paul Rodgers were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, and Brian and Paul had worked together many times before but doing a QPR for WWRY/WATC and Free's All Right Now (Paul's song) they felt that they had a nice chemistry so organically they decided they should try a tour together.....

It's one of the musicals I would chose for Adam for one of the live TV shows they are doing.
