twitter.com/dianik_bg/status/1767607993472852362Brian May is feeling good. “A little tired,” he smiles, “but very happy.” On a cold winter afternoon, the legendary guitarist is talking to Total Guitar from his home in Surrey, a few days after the North American leg of Queen + Adam Lambert’s Rhapsody tour ended with another sold-out date at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. “Everyone in the States has been saying that this show is the best we’ve ever done with Adam,” he says. “So it’s a great result. Wonderful!”

Denmark is my family's homeland on my mother's side. I have never been there, but I have always viewed it as a beautiful, liberal country. Interesting that Oliver gives us a different side of this when it comes to treatment of gays. And that Law of Jante is pretty scary. I hope he has a good time with his family and friends. My guess is that he will dress a bit to provoke a reaction. We'll soon find out. Adam join him after the Voice stint is over, I assume. I‘m regularly in Denmark and my cousin even moved there (from Germany) about 20 years ago. It’s a nice country with mostly happy and liberal people. But it’s also a very small country and therefore very protective of its history and way of life. Some years ago I also thought about moving there, but as a German (or also other countryman), who wants to immigrate, you will see that some Danes are suddenly not that friendly anymore and some I would call openly racists. I know, you can find some of them in every country, but since Denmark is so protective of its heritage (for instance, if you moved there, until recently, you had to take on a typical Danish surname!), I found them there more noticeable than in most other countries I‘ve visited. Denmark is a rather small though (only -5mio population) and most people are really friendly and open-minded. But in this small world I‘ve never so far seen someone dressed like Oliver. And we all know, how some people react, when they see/meet someone, who doesn’t fit into their view of the world. Having been born in Germany, and moving to the US when I was 13, I can understand a little bit the desire to preserve your country's history and way of life. The Germany I left is not the Germany now anymore...at least the part I was born in is now a melting part of different cultures and the result has not necessarily been a happy one (according to my relatives that still live there). Unfortunately, sometimes changes bring out the worst in people. |

Hope it's true that more new music is on its way. We are more than ready! WE need a whole album that is all Adam, all new songs. Waiting........

Unfortunately, sometimes changes bring out the worst in people. I agree in general. But I also think that the Law of Jante says exactly, what you might experience in Denmark or Norway, if you stay a little longer and try to get to know some people a bit better. „You‘re not to think you‘re as good as us.“ is one especially questionable law. |

Not a Russell Brand fan, at all (he always looks stoned), but this show was pretty funny.

That show was hilarious. Russell was definitely out there and Kristen (?) delivered some great lines while Adam seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. Don't know if anyone is interested in Eurovision but I wanted to share a video I just saw from Israel with Eden Golan as the singer. I kept envisioning Eden and Adam performing a song together. Her voice is amazing and I believe she had some classical training as well. Let me know what you all think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJYn09tuPw4 |
