Release Date: Sep 25, 2020Link: www.target.com/p/queen-adam-lambert-title-tbd-vinyl/-/A-80949826 Maybe it's an error, or a live performance release, or ???? QUEEN’S ROGER TAYLOR SAYS THEY FOUND ADAM LAMBERT JUST BY ACCIDENT
By Almila Kutuk -August 2, 2020 In an interview with Raised On Radio, Queen drummer Roger Taylor talked about the band’s history and revealed how they met with the band’s current vocalist Adam Lambert by coincidence. As you might remember, Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor appeared as guests on the famous show American Idol‘s eighth season. Adam Lambert was still a contestant of the show when he had the chance to perform with Queen legends. Following their performance of Queen’s iconic song ‘We Are The Champions,’ Brian May revealed they were actually considering Adam Lambert as a lead singer for Queen. Apparently, Brian May was first impressed by Adam when he saw his performance of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody‘ for the auditions of American Idol. Recently, Queen’s drummer Roger Taylor joined an interview with Raised On Radio on Youtube and talked about the history of the band and revealed the details of the time when Adam Lambert replaced Paul Rodgers. Queen icon Roger Taylor mentioned how they decided to go on playing after Freddie Mercury’s death and revealed their meeting with Adam was actually a coincidence: “When Freddie passed away, we really thought, ‘Well, that’s that.’ And it was really events that transpired that caused us to go on. We did some live shows with Paul Rodgers – he’s a wonderful singer. And then we found Adam just by accident, really, and things have gone from strength to strength.” Furthermore, Roger Taylor praised the fascinating performances of Adam Lambert by stating he had ‘one of the greatest voices‘: “Yeah, he’s a joy to work with, fantastic. And he’s adorable and, of course, he’s just an incredible frontman with one of the greatest voices in the world, I think.” Link to article: metalheadzone.com/queens-roger-taylor-says-they-found-adam-lambert-just-by-accident/The entire interview with Roger Taylor: www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/roger_taylor_says_queen_thought_they_were_over_with_freddie_mercurys_death_recalls_1st_reaction_to_brian_may.html

Someone on another site said Walmart has a similar ad up as the Target ad but theirs apparently says it's Freddie. Don't know if it's the same thing I have not seen this myself. Roger did make a comment about a possible live album with Adam in one of the radio interviews he did after his new single came out. So needless to say I'm waiting for something official from QAL.
Here's hoping on a Monday Moanin!💜

Was just looking at the comments yesterday on Adam’s house sale. I looked up Property Tax - wow...seems that in the US this can be crippling - so I can quite see why Adam must be very relieved to be free of it. Much less here. On a £3m house here, Property/council tax might be only about £3,500 - £4000 Per YEAR since over a certain amount (varies but around £500k I think) the maximum payable is reached - so same amount for £3m as for £30m. Also we pay no tax on the profit from sale of principal home....yet! There’s all sorts of talk about new ways of taxing housing sales and profits in order to replenish state coffers after the COVID costs, so we are bracing ourselves here. Everything braced this year.... edit: in U.K.

Yep, property taxes in the US can be ridiculous...depending on the area you live in. That's why lots of people decide to cheaper areas...only then to drive up the property values when enough people move to that same area. It goes in waves. Washington and Oregon was the place many Californians moved to to get away from Cali's high taxes. That drove up WA and OR's taxes and real estate prices. Currently, everybody seems to be moving to Idaho, including some of our relatives. I'm sure Idaho will hate us before too long, if they don't already. I read an article recently that a lot of Floridians are moving to the Appalachians (if I'm remembering correctly). Real estate is already going up because Floridians are able to pay a lot more for housing than the current residents can.
It's a vicious cycle.

Everything braced this year.... Oh, how wonderful = the more you can afford the less percentage wise you will pay - >:D , makes plenty of sense.Not. Here, in the US we also had a law, punitive to the blue states, passed by the monster admin Where the federal tax deduction for all local, state and real estate taxes is limited to $10k. So someone like Adam, or anyone who works and has to pay state and local income tax, or just owns real estate with high tax rate is effectively seeing an enormous increase in their federal taxes. The thing is Adam can presumably afford this, but plenty of people are Finding themselves in a hardship Due to this double Or even triple taxation Scam. In short, the effect of real estate taxes is much higher than it used to be - One of the important but sadly now smaller reasons the elections can’t come soon enough.

nica575 ....I do agree. Our Property Tax system doesn’t seem right at all. It is often talked about but nothing has changed as long as I can remember. Selfishly...I am one who would not be able to afford to live in my home of 27 years, with value growth I can’t control, if we had a ‘fairer’ system. Anyway, I am about to complete on its sale. Have put it off for a long time now but suddenly decided that this year has been such a write-off, I may as well take back some control and get the misery over all at once. Roll on 2021!

Hmmm. This vinyl from Target/Walmart sounds interesting. I can't imagine that it would be Queen with Freddie. Any Queen music with Freddie must be available everywhere, right? I has to be Queen with Adam. Makes more sense to me. Well, we'll see soon enough.
I'm glad Adam finally sold that house. I know all the ups and downs of being a two-house owner for a while. It's no fun, esp. if you're not a millionaire. He took a hit on that house, esp. after his pricey renovations. But that's the way ti goes. He learned some lessons.

Target has QAL release date 9-25 listed no other info, available for pre-order. Walmart everything they have listed is Queen w/ Freddy- nothing with newer release dates. They do have QAL from Summer Sonic 2014 but that's been available for a while. Amazon has QAL Rhapsody Tour Global Citizen listed - says currently not available- no release date listed. I would buy that for sure if it becomes available. They all have Velvet listed. Amazon also has something called the Best of Adam Lambert- older stuff. They keep emailing me about that one LOL. I think that about covers it for now!
