Yes Scarlett did ... but what I meant was from his band member. Or maybe I just scrolled down the pages. ... only for publicity and none of them are like that IMO.
So you're saying all his band members secretly knew that Adam has signed with WBR since months ago ? Wow.. they must have had high level security clearance.

Ohh I believe his closest friends such as Danielle, Scarlet, Alisan, etc knows about this. But I was talking about his band members.

Well seeing the album is in the can any guests are already locked in. Adam alluded to some collaborations - now there is an interesting guessing game. Not wish list but likely ones.

Didn't Scarlett Cherry & her husband tweet Adam a congrats? I thought I saw that. Yes Scarlett did ... but what I meant was from his band member. Or maybe I just scrolled down the pages. Lee posted this http://instagram.com/p/x5SDgYjzqS |

I've never been that impressed with Orianthi (sp). She's a shredder. She's good at it but I don't think Adam needs that. Although, my db thinks she's really decent and he's been playing for decades. I just want him to have a band that's tight and that can slip into improv at the drop of a dime. I've always loved the way Dave Matthew's band kicks it. They always seem to be having so much fun and ebb and flow and jam away. And, personally, I'd like to hear Adam take it to church with some horns! I can't even imagine what he has up his sleeve with this next album. I bet he's gotten some solid feedback by some pros [winks].

So how about the pic isn't about the song title but about how good he thinks it is? So I see a frame and two levels inside that frame. Yep, he thinks the song is good enough to go double platinum! Or he already use "on fleek" before so this slicing and dicing is another way to say that.

Just got around to reading the thread, and feel I need to say something.
I am by no means a Tommy fan, and find it totally understandable and in his best interest for Adam to move on, but fair is fair:
Tommy can play the guitar just fine. If he learns a piece, he plays it well, and in addition to guitar he plays bass and even some piano. The guy is a musician that any group that is routinely playing the same thing over and over again, can use. 95 % of today's pop acts can work with such guitar skills just fine. In that one example, something is off with the instrument, not a example that shows Tommy's play.
Watch here, to see what Tommy is actually capable of:
Having said that, Tommy cannot improv and Adam needs that for his concerts. I also find that Tommy is often disengaged (not in the example above), and that this does impact his play or at least his ability to grow further. He also seems to like other music and so I think moving on is probably the right thing. But I surely wish him well, appreciate that he was (and presumably is) a loyal friend and truly have a problem understanding all the negativity thrown at Tommy not only on twitter, but also here.
If Adam's band was weak in E2, and I agree that it was, I attribute that to two people. a) his musical director / keyboard player and b) his drummer. No band can sound tight, if the drummer is a mess, and keys was alright, but not great and no leadership.
imo neither Ashley, nor Tommy are to blame for the sound not being tight, they did their part.
If it is true what people here are suggesting, then I'd call it an amicable split and hope everyone can move on, and all is well.
===============
Now, as far as putting a new group together, I actually think that Adam does need help getting it right. Adam will want to be involved of course, because in the end he needs to get along with everyone at a minimum and optimally nothing is more wonderful than seeing a band that enjoys themselves and feeds off of each other and forms a tight group, but I know that this is asking for a lot for a band just thrown together to support a solo artist. Such things have to evolve with good fortune, but still, we can always hope. But essential is that when it comes to the musicianship, I hope Adam makes use of his many contacts to evaluate the available talent.
