Damn, I absolutely loved this! It also answered one more mystery, at least for me. In "The Show Must Go On - The Queen and Adam Lambert Story" documentary you can see Brian holding the right-handed guitar in the scene where they practice the harmonies before the Vegas show. It was kinda weird, but now we know it was Tyler's guitar. I presume he is left-handed. What is even weirder is that he plays drums like a right-handed person... Thank you very much for posting!

Gelly, thanks so much for bringing all that stuff over! I'd miss so much if not for you!! I did join the fan club and ordered a shirt but other than that, I can't get into the fan club and I'm sick of trying - not sure why I'm having such trouble. I do know my way around my IPad pretty well, still, I appreciate it so much that I don't have to miss out on all sorts of good stuff. I love what you do. Thank you, thank you!!!

Maybe you already tried this but have you contacted Wonderful Union? From everything I've heard they are quite helpful.

Why should anyone spend anything on a membership if all of the membership perks are made easily available to non-members anyway? Pre-sale codes have always been freely shared. Now it seems content Adam intends to be members-only is being freely shared as well. I don't dispute Gelly works hard on behalf of the fandom, but that does not mean she has carte blanche to post anything she wants. I will also add that the fan club re-launch is very new, and even if the members-only content has not excited you (not that your own personal opinion on that is what should matter), that doesn't mean he isn't planning something in the future that might. Maybe the teaser he just posed is for a performance he intends for fan club members alone, for example. But knowing whatever he posts will be immediately spread to non-members has to be frustrating now that he's trying to rebuild the fan club. As long as fans continue to do that, there is no such thing as "exclusive," no matter how worthwhile, or not, it may be. Adam is not asking for a huge commitment of cash. I know times are tough for many people, but I'd assume for most of Adam's fans the $10 per year would not be a burden. If you want the exclusives, it would be nice to pay the price if you're able. you must be joking it’s a free county so Gelly can posts whatever she wants. When it comes to pre sale codes there will be no live performances from Adam. Your opinion same as mine don’t matter too. Adam’s fandom need fresh blood not only 60 something ladies if he wants to stay relevant in the business. Why will there be no live performances? There won't in the near future but there will at some point and there's still the QAL shows that usually have pre sale codes.

When I said your opinion didn't matter, I meant the issue of whether it's right or fair to post what is intended to be exclusive fan club content to social media has nothing to do with anyone's opinion of the content itself. Just because Gelly is able to post something does not necessarily mean that she should post it. Gelly finds plenty of material to post without needing to post something Adam intends solely for fan club members as a perk for signing up and paying for the membership. I seriously doubt her and other fans leaving fan club material for fan club members would have any effect on the expansion, or lack thereof, of Adam's fandom as a whole. And I am done.

"you must be joking it’s a free county so Gelly can posts whatever she wants" just startled me a bit and reminded me that we have much bigger problems to deal with than some fan club disputes. I guess "county" was a typo. About Gelly. She clearly provides "excellent fan service" from the perspective of a passionate fan, and if she wants to devote her life to it that's fine, but for me she can get quite invasive and OTT. I bet that Adam cringes at half of her her Youtube posts about anything and everything regarding his life and to some extent those of his friends. Yes, we are a "free country", for now, and I have no doubt that Gelly will continue on her "mission", but it is not like she can do no wrong. Fans are "free" to call her out occasionally. I would not go into ageism, but as you are mentioning age related fan issues... how old is Gelly? She is not a spring chicken herself, is she? And she clearly lives and breathes Adam 24/7. Just saying. Equal opportunities for all.

I see you're in Canada. I haven't heard anything about my album either -- not even an email. Let me know what Empire has to say, please. For sure I will. At least that makes me feel a little more hopeful knowing that I am not the only one.

Love that they show the layering of vocals, just like the original Queen. I do think one of the things that sets Queen+ apart from all other rock bands are the harmonies. When I think of rock I don't think that the group could do barbershop quartet but that's one reason Queen could do so many genres I think too.
