Brian May just favorited my tweet -- YAY!!!!! Dr. Brian May favorited your Tweet 9h: @adamlambert @queenwillrock @drbrianmay @ruttaylor1 @officialrmt @spikessasband & Neil Fairclough -- Thank you for a great ride! Amazing! He favorited mine too! I know he favs lots of tweets, but it's still a thrill. I see he favorited a few more Atoppers tweets from yesterday. So glad I took a sec to send a TY tweet and he saw it. Sheila @bamafanpf @adamlambert @drbrianmay @officialrmt @queenwillrock @ruttaylor1 Thank you so much for the glorious UK/EU leg of the QAL tour! U Rocked Us! 03:53 PM - 27 Feb 15 Favorited by Dr. Brian May Dr. Brian May @drbrianmay Rocket Ship Builder Sauli and Seth look like twins walking out to the car in Liverpool. So funny.
I think Adam has sufficient focus and energy at this point in his career to handle both his solo work and QAL. "Side by side projects" as he said. I love that we'll see him hopefully alternating the two, with who knows what all else thrown in like TV, movies, product endorsements, etc. It's total win/win IMO. I want him to do it all and I want him to do it now! (while he's at his prime and I'm still alive to witness it all...lol)
  I want his own music more that anything. TOH IS HERE! Nothing can take it away at this point. We know Adam has a MULTI ALBUM contract, so (unless TOH completely flops and there is some related clause) we will have more albums! We know this! Peeps post plenty of wishes for various collaborations. So, we already have one! I understand the argument re "wrong demo", "wrong music tastes",etc. But we see many "new fans"... WIN/WIN for sure! What a GLORIOUS collaboration! I hope it lasts for many years to come, whatever form it might take. oh, and I also woke up to the "favorited" tweet! Just knowing Dr. Bri read it made my day too!  Nica nica575 · 17h 17 hours ago TRIUMPHANT TOUR! In every possible way! THANK YOU! @adamlambert @drbrianmay @officialrmt @queenwillrock |

It's perfectly ok to feel anyway you want. Totally ok to focus on the exciting future about to happen & leave QAL in the past. Totally OK to relive every glorious memory & feeling the QAL tour has given us. Totally OK to do both. (But if you don't do either you're probably in the wrong place! )
I'm so glad QAL took place. It was the most amazing & beneficial thing that could possibly have happened for Adam!! The exposure it gave his talent, the confidence it has given him, the sheer joy for all is immeasurable.
And I'm so glad it's over now because I'm ready for era 3.
What a great time to be a fan because we have so much goodness to roll around in RIGHT NOW. QAL memories & TOH anticipation.

After this tour Adam's probably going to take a week off. Either we will see him here and there partying or he'll just disappear for a few days in a beach of some tropical country to relax. And then when the promo for TOH begin we will start seeing him again. Until that time we will have to dread the days and thread. Enjoying new QAL videos from the last 3 concerts will be the way to go thru those days, at least it's in my case. LOL I read on the chat for the stream of Sheffield, that Sauli and Adam were going to Bali for a week. Not sure if it was speculation, a known, or a wish. But it seemed like that it was matter of fact. |

In my opinion, the gig with Queen has been a huge win all the way around. Boat loads of cash, international recognition, an enhanced reputation as the best singer in the business, a great opportunity for some re-branding, endorsement from arguably THE best rock band out there today, name recognition, acceptance and accolades from the media, mentoring from experienced pros, invaluable experience performing, a honing and refining of his vocal and performance skills, a maturing and tempering, constant feeding of his addiction for being on stage in front of an audience, a repertoire that challenges and pushes him, new and expanding fan base, boat loads of cash .... oh, right, I said that already. But the effect of that is more security and artistic freedom. In the end, tho', Queen is not Adam's identity; it is a gig, a show. Artists accept a role on Broadway for a season, or a show on TV for a contracted 13 episodes, or a movie not expecting any sequels. They do the job, but with rare exceptions, then move on to other gigs, other shows, other roles. They often have several projects going simultaneously. I see no problem or conflict with Adam working on his solo material and accepting other gigs to enhance his repertoire, his visibility and his bank account. Queen has a limited shelf life. Brian and Roger may have a few more performing years in them, but Roger in particular has looked drained at the end of some nights. Pounding those drums as he does is physically demanding. Knowing that the show ultimately has a finite life span and Brian and Roger are probably never going to do another arena tour without Adam, I embrace the great gig it is for the time. Adam will have his time to shine as a solo artist, I am sure. You put into words what I have been thinking.. I love Queen and Adam,but Adam is multi-talented and IMHO will be doing many differnt types of gigs. I'm just so glad that I can continue my exciting ride on the Adam rocket ship to the stars and back. |

@adamlambert Enjoy the flight to LAX
And Sauli just posted an Instagram working out in the gym. I'm thinking this was earlier.
So seems they are in Paris, Bora Bora or on the way to LA. One of those might be right. LOL.

So maybe the last three days was the vacation, LOL. |

I am thinking after two moths of living in hotels the best vacation is probably being at home and sleeping in your own bed.... |

Oh dear, most of my attention has been on Adam and Dr. Brian May. Roger is mostly not front and center as he is behind the drum kit, although I love the interaction between he and Adam during Under Pressure. However, at ~1:27 in the above video, Roger winks at Adam. I may or may not have mentioned that I ADORE a man who winks. A dream is to someday see Adam wink, that would be killer for me. So, anyway, newfound appreciation for Roger, for the wink.
And thanks for the memories, boys. You rocked my world and gave me lots and lots of feels. So glad we had this time together, I know you enjoyed it as much as we did and here's to many many more shared memories of music and fun.  |
