Love your avatar -- quite the proper puppy! Back in the old days (Glamnation Tour) when Adam had to walk thru fans to get to his bus, I always considered bringing my dog along in hopes of getting him to stop and give him a scritch. At one point, I almost named one of my pups Adam with a registered name of "Sure Fire Winner". I've had Irish Setters almost my entire life -- I guess I've always loved red hair!

I think there's more than one Admin on there but the one I'm familiar with is JLP. I know he doesn't like Adam or at least doesn't like him singing with Queen if that's the same guy. No, not the same. Both are administrators. The boss (Nick) has the title ‚Administrator‘ and created the forum. He has the responsibility for more than the forum. JLP does the daily „dirty work“ of herding the sheep in the forum. With a few helpers. Ah right, I haven't had the dubious pleasure of Nick yet.

nightowl , you commented before I modified my previous post a bit haha. In general, I don't hold any sour grapes as I am not in other forums and thus am often oblivious of a lot of things and miss most of the nasty bickering. However, I just went on Queen Official and I only saw Adam's picture under the "live/upcoming shows" section. www.queenonline.com/upcoming_shows - may be that's appropriate for a Queen forum. I can imagine that Brian and Roger would have some input. May be they think it is smarter to not stir the pot too much and let things flow as they do. It has worked for them. I remember that roadie from the QAL tour in 2014/2015 and his behind the scenes updates, and I actually liked his posts until I noticed that he never ever mentioned Adam. That was strange. And then he was gone anyways. It seems that Adam is not to everybody's liking, which is hard for us adoring fans to understand. The reasons are probably many - jealousy, loyalty to Freddie as the "essence" of Queen, and simply not liking Adam as the new frontman. He IS different from Freddie. Most Adam fans love him in this role, because we love him, and many Queen fans have come on board though. Their current success is proof!!! If(!) there is resentment toward Adam from diehards within the Queen machine, I can imagine that it is not always easy for Adam to deal with, however the adoring crowds at each concert should make up for it, as well as the fact that there is increasing demand for QAL. Numbers do speak. That blog the guy did is still available on Queenonline, just been reading through it and I don't get the impression he didn't like Adam and he does mention him. He said - One final thing, it has been noted on some of the comments here that I have not mentioned Adam in my updates, it is something I was aware of, but for no particular reason. I have not met Adam at this point, only witnessed him on stage in 2012, here in rehearsals and at iHeart. I am not going to enter any debate on his role here, it bores me. The guy has stepped up to tackle one of the greatest music catalogues ever and is clearly his own man, delivering the goods with brutal confidence. I am part of a team here to support him. It might sound like I am toeing the line, but the guy is good, really good and with each song he sings that I witness I just find myself nodding, cheering him and the band on from within. He also said further down - Oh, and here comes another, on the subject of my Adam mentions or the lack of, as some had pointed out. I've now met him and what a lovely guy too. Honestly, he's just nice, and nice people deserve good things. He did mention Glamberts a few times as well. Here's the link in case anyone want's to read it - www.queenonline.com/features/queenonline-on-tour-notes-from-the-road-the-platinum-collectionThanks for your post, blackqueen65 . I clearly missed something back then.

It might have worked, he does love dogs. Unfortunately that's not my dog it's just a pic I really loved, I don't have pets but I do love dogs and Setter's are gorgeous.

TMTM Abbreviation for "too many to mention." Used mostly in text messages, instant messages, emails or any form of electronic communication devices.

You seem to know a lot of stuff - I don't. I am an Adam fan primarily, but I do like Queen music a lot. They were pretty much in their prime when I was a teenager in Germany. I have never been at a backstage tour, but have been to countless concerts. Hanging out at the Queen forums would probably stress me out too much, so I tend to stay away. Thanks for the insights though!! Much appreciated. It all seems good to me. Cheers!! Thanks for the compliment. I feel like I have a bit of knowledge about Queen and maybe a bit more about Adam. But I was late here - or actually on both forums. The thing is, that I became a member of QueenOnline almost directly after the concert I attended in 2015. I read A LOT there, but didn’t post. That came some time later, when I thought, I am able to contribute something and can take part in a discussion. Usually about QAL. But I also discovered the whole Queen Catalogue and a lot of their story. There are real experts. And I have to say, that for some time now the discussions about QAL and Adam are mostly respectful and friendly. I also like some friction, so I get along there now. In the beginning all the hate addressed at Adam drove me away to Adam‘s forums. So I read on both. Here on Atop, I started to read a bit later. It was the time, when that Adam Idol forum slowly deserted and I was looking for another place to learn about Adam. I think it took me two years, before I finally registered. This forum here can also be very intimidating.
