I did some research on "the evolution of Adam during Killer Queen". Someone posted a couple of days ago a YTvideo of Killer Queen from the concert in Auburn Hills (Detroit) on july 12, 2014: instead of fanboying on Brian during the guitarsolo Like he did in Europe, he was doing the "sarcastic "yeah you are Brian May" attitude". I haven't seen that before, so I did some research to see how Adam changed things over time. The first 2 concerts: Chigago and Winnipeg (19 + 21 june 2014): the champagne bottle is closed (so no spit only fake drinking) and Brian doesn't come to the B-stage for the solo (In Winnipeg Adam shouts "Next time can someone open that Champagne??" I Liked the sarcastic attitude but I can imagine that for the concert and the die hard Queen fans it was better to return to the fanboy Adam attitude. Wow, that's a lot of effort you put in there! When I get more time later hopefully, I will go thru all of those videos...Thankyou!  |

Seems we can vote more than once. Interesting trying to select the correct symbol to verify... "cadeado" is the padlock, lol. It's a quick mini-course in Portuguese  |

I had a small epiphany this morning, which is that the rock version of Ghost Town is absolutely brilliant. All the elements are there! I missed 'my' weird rhythm at first, but it is there, the bass plays it. I thought the bass was playing a modified version of the whistle melody, but this rhythm ís a modified version of the whistle melody. They put it together with so much musicianship, taking all the elements from the original but making it sound and feel completely different. Now I don't know which one I prefer anymore. Isn't it EPIC that Queen plays Ghost Town now? It IS EPIC, isn't it? Really, really cool....  |

BELOW...is my post September 21...11:19pm my time. My last question was answered in this article about the bodyguard.
Isn't it wonderful to read!!!!
Our guy is a great pop star and such a nice guy!! ( via journalists, bodyguard and on and on)
(...This man has been a bodyguard for almost any celebrity you can name...well not quite, but holy moly...
Brian May when his hair was dark  ...no tinge of white!
Katy Perry, Dave Grohl, Mike Tyson , Ricky Martin, as we know Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, JLo, The Rock, Tom Cruise, Kevin Costner, Robert Pattison, actors, actresses, singers, politicians, TV celebrities....and the list goes on and on and on....lots of pics way down on his instagrams. ... Would live love to ask this man who some of his favorite people to bodyguard for...hoping of course for AL to be one of those.)
Google translate from a paragraph in the article...(I found the article a good quick insightful read...interesting....he is working with Katy Perry next and Rhianna wanted him...haha)
Anyway...here is the google quote: The Queen band only works with you in Brazil. How is that relationship?They are calling me by name. I work for them for years and have a nice relationship. But I'm no friend of the members, did not speak after work. During, give tips on restaurants for dinner, tours. I even gave a hint of what to wear to Adam (Lambert, current lead singer) when he wanted to ride a bycicle here in Rio. I said it was a very hot place to walk with those cool clothes. If you could list the top five of the coolest famous, who would be in it?Ricky Martin, Hugh Jackman (he even gave me birthday cake), Queen Latifah, Adam Lambert and Stevie Wonder. |

The last time the ending had the audience clapping and singing along |

Hi pi. Which you tube are you referring to...Love of my Life? When I clicked on the above youtube link, I could have sworn that there was a video of the entire concert and it had 489,467 views, but the video doesn't seem to be there now.. maybe I was hallucinating or it was taken down. :  |

Guess they just chose a sampling of each concert. Still looking forward to a compiled DVD of the QAL concert tours! Well gentlemen...when is the right time? XMAS??? |

In the comments of the YT video he is being compared to our Adam. And I must say, when I heard this I hear the comparison. A beautiful voice and it gave me goosebumps, just like Adam's voice does to me. Oh my my, this boy is talented!! He's got one of those smooth-sailing voices that's good for vocal acrobatics, like Adam's! And I have to agree with the comments -- they point out that his vocal run at 1:06 sounds very Adam Lambert-ish, and I do think that if Adam had sung this song, he might have done the same vocal run too. Speaking of which, we do need to hear Adam cover Chandelier, don't we? Or maybe he's doing Sia a favour by not covering it :D ETA: If people are already using "Adam Lambert-ish" as an adjective, I guess we can safely say that Adam has defined his talent and style pretty damn well over the last 6 years, eh? |
