A street team may exist, but they sure aren't pushing a rollout like this! Malcolm Welsford has put forth a LOT of effort to fuel this sort of momentum!!! >:( They are the ones giving Monte's link hits and also searching at Amazon. Every search moves it up on the search list! I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Monte's link, in his blog, and the subsequent hits is what brought it to i-Heart's attention.They are also posting comments on blogs and articles, with links. So they are defintiely doing their fair share. Make no mistake, they are committed to this! Ignore them. You aren't going to change their minds, and their power is limited. We're doing everything possible to make sure RCA has the knowledge and power to affect this at the source. And that source is Malcolm Welsford's company. |

Adam Lambert Release Date Announced, Glamberts Not PleasedVirtually evey major recording artist over the last 50 years has had early career demos or pre-fame for-hire experiments unearthed in glorified bootleg form. It's almost a rite of passage, the aural equivalent of an unauthorized celebrity biography, or finding your name atop billboards for a reissued B-movie you appeared in for seven minutes. But Adam Lambert & Steve Cooke: Paramount Sessions, which now has an official release date of December 6, alleges to be legit and totally scandal-free. Just don't tell that to Glambert nation, who've already disavowed its credibility and taken the aforementioned Steve Cooke to task on the Interwebs. IN OTHER WORDS: It doesn't really seem worth getting in a tizzy over. After all, it is previously unreleased tracks with Adam singing. PARAMOUNT SESSIONS COMING SOON RATING: 6/10 ADAM HAVING NO CONTROL OVER HOW HIS VOICE AND LIKENESS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RELEASE RATING: 2/10 YES! NEW ADAM SONGS! RATING: Yay/10 Srly?? That's the review??!!  Now I'm tempted to click! ;D |

Adam Lambert Release Date Announced, Glamberts Not Pleased
Friday, October 14, 2011 at 01:31PM
MUSIC-NEWS REVIEW: A controversial release of early Adam Lambert demos with his pre-Idol band gets its due date.
By Kenny Herzog
We know Adam is the master of modern glam, but what's with the Dee Snider doppleganger to his right?

Virtually evey major recording artist over the last 50 years has had early career demos or pre-fame for-hire experiments unearthed in glorified bootleg form. It's almost a rite of passage, the aural equivalent of an unauthorized celebrity biography, or finding your name atop billboards for a reissued B-movie you appeared in for seven minutes.
But Adam Lambert & Steve Cooke: Paramount Sessions, which now has an official release date of December 6, alleges to be legit and totally scandal-free. Just don't tell that to Glambert nation, who've already disavowed its credibility and taken the aforementioned Steve Cooke to task on the Interwebs.
Who is Cooke, you ask? He is the blonde-locked gentleman pictured above with a young Lambert. He's also a session vocalist who completed a studio project called the Citizen Vein left unfinished by Lambert when the superstar fled to Hollywood after successfully auditioning for American Idol. And now it seems that Cooke has agreed to seize the opportunity of being packaged alongside Lambert on a CD of those collective recordings, as if it were more of a genuine collaboration, or even something Lambert was at peace with.
What's even stranger about the Citizen Vein/Paramount Sessions is they were helmed in part by Monte Pittman, an oddball journeyman musician whose worked concurrently as guitarist for both Madonna and, of all bands, New York industrial-thrash icons Prong (whose frontman, Tommy Victor, can be seen performing with Vein and Lambert below). WTF?! Lambert, and then Cooke, were brought in to supply the voice for new tracks Pittman and other members of Madonna's backing band had been toying with under the Citizen Vein moniker.
This explanation not satisfactory? Maybe Cooke's blindingly illiterate statement about Paramount and its resulting controversy will help clarify, unless you focus too hard on the moments when he refers to its release as "bitter sweat" and recalls hearing Lambert before "Simon Cowles" ever did. Then it will just be gibberish.
If you thought Lambert would never perform with members of NYC thrash legends Prong, this video will "Prove You Wrong."
IN OTHER WORDS: It doesn't really seem worth getting in a tizzy over. After all, it is previously unreleased tracks with Adam singing.
PARAMOUNT SESSIONS COMING SOON RATING: 6/10
ADAM HAVING NO CONTROL OVER HOW HIS VOICE AND LIKENESS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RELEASE RATING: 2/10
YES! NEW ADAM SONGS! RATING: Yay/10
Included are links to Cooke's page and to YouTubes of CV.

I have nothing to do with them. None of those people are my friends. But it's not my voice and my album that they are trying to screw over. Their power might be limited but they have already done far beyond what I imagined they could or would do. |

I live in Canada. Find Adam on the internet after AMA. So much buzz around that time and I just clicked some of his idol performances and I become a Fan.
Fellow Canadian!This is such a great place to spend your Adam "fanning" time. Happy Birthday Jesse555! Stardust Good summary(copy paste) of the site/story/critique ...Basically they can't figure it out as to who has done what to whom, but bottom line the songs are out as has happened to many rock stars before Adam. They provide a video clip of of CVein in action with Adam singing PUN INTENDED I AM SURE..... "Bad Reputation" which seems to sum up much of what this whole mess is all about. |

all I can say is this is a much more determined push for sales than the original bastard album. It really is too bad.

@thefilmqueen "Pre-Idol" but also said "Adam Lambert presents..." What?! Also referred to "Adam Lambert's band" later on. Sketch aplenty.
