I had a feeling that post would be picked up and copied to either Queenzone or Queenonline as fuel for the fire. As far as this being a ‘safe zone’, no such thing on the Internet. People lurk here all the time and post things found over there. Whether it’s Adam news or making fun of his fans.
Frankly I found parts in the post a little cringeworthy (sorry Cassie) as both an Adam and Queen fan, so it was going to ripe for the picking.

I grew up in Green Bay Packer country. For those international or non-sports readers, the Packers are the only football team owned by fans. Fans are totally bonkers for the team. They will their seasons tickets to others when they die. What does this have to do with Adam and Queen? Back 50 years ago, the star Quarterback was Bart Starr. Class act and phenomenal player. None like him, and his like would never be seen again. Led the team to to victory in the first and second SuperBowl.The town would have given him sainthood if they could. Fast forward 25-30 years and a new phenomenon took on the Quarterback duties. Brett Favre was unbelievably good and beloved by fans. Yes, Bart Starr was amazing for his time, but Favre was a new generation of brilliant. He led his team to 2 Superbowl victories and became enshrined in Packer country. Then, in 2008, Aaron Rodgers took over as starting Quarterback. His skills are breathtaking. He has led the team to a Superbowl championship. He recently negotiated the biggest contract in NFL history, reportedly 33 MILLION a year starting pay with bonuses. He is the new god in Green Bay. All that background to point out that in sports, fans may have their favorite players, but ultimately, they cheer for the team, and embrace the players who are extraordinary in every season. Few argue who was "the best", Starr, Favre or Rodgers. None want to go back to former greats when they are so thrilled with the man currently throwing the ball for dynamic touchdowns. I wish Queen fans could resemble sports fans a bit more in their fervor, remembering the past fondly, but celebrating the present.

TBH I am looking forward to the Qal Hiatus. And focusing on his Solo Career. HAHAHA. For how long that is.
Should get some music around November, potentially. Album prob won't be later next year.

People lurk here all the time and post things found over there. Whether it’s Adam news or making fun of his fans.Frankly I found parts in the post a little cringeworthy (sorry Cassie) as both an Adam and Queen fan, so it was going to ripe for the picking. Agree! Look at the stats: there were 1435 guests on this site in the last 24 hours! That’s a lot of eyes and a lot of opinions! it is not unusual to bring info from one site to another, so I don’t see any difference in this case. They took “the info” and went to their “safe place” to discuss...Besides, the FM purists don’t have much to talk about for obvious reasons, so many are left with hating on B&R for just living their artistic lives and taking their frustrations out on Adam... and so what? We stay here with our preferences and they stay there with theirs...no reason to get upset IMO...the main thing -QAL is doing wonderfully and so do Dr Bri, Roger and Adam. plus QZ is unmoderated as someone noted before, so a few trolls and a couple of psychos are roaming free there to the embarrassment of all Queen fans. The best would’ve been to ignore them but people get into discussions with them...sometimes I find it amusing...i do hope, however, B&R never read there...actually, same goes for QOL forums, even that’s not a place friendly to the two legends who keep the music alive...how ironic... ETA: I went to QZ to check it out and now I see the problem...someone created an account just to copy cassie’s Post...wow! That’s crazier than usual for them... and then another account to display the outrage! Lol, so much effort to stir the pot...

The diva obsession seems like the expected and cool thing to do for many. Most of them (not all) are better dancers with even more dancers than great singers so I guess it works well for the club scene. Hate the exaggerated gushing over them tho as if their talents are unmatched. Glad Adam does not go overboard with it like some others do. Wisely he does not bring it up now but there was a time he called some out for supporting the divas while ignoring their own. Very hard to change habits.
I think Freddie was a great talent and one of the best of his time. But my interest is in Adam. He has an extraordinary vocal talent. Sexy and gorgeous good looks. Love his showmanship and charisma as the Queen frontman today. Don't care much what they say on the Queen sites as they were vile when I last looked a few years ago. I know they love Freddie and wish he were here instead of Adam. But he is not. He was not fired and Adam just walked off with his spot. The envy and hatred for Adam is misplaced even if they think Freddie was better. But Brian, Roger and Adam are performing today so many want to celebrate and enjoy what they are bringing to the table. They are happy. Fans that want to see them are happy. Those who don't want to see them still have their memories and videos with Freddie. But they cannot change QAL today because they want what they had in the past. And they can't convince those (no matter how hard they try) who love Adam with Queen, that they should ignore their enjoyment and their own taste to worship Freddie instead. Some get so angry because they can't force everyone else to miss and want what was happening 27 years ago as much as they do.

One more thing on my soapbox: not all Queen fans are the same as we have many different views and perspectives of the past and present.. To be respectfully honest, it's a little unfair to lump us into one box.
