3.2.11 Promo, promo and more promo!!

I guess I should take it as a win that Adam is the gold standard by which other male singers are judged. (Damned straight, he should be).

But this just gripes my ass. I checked this guy out and ... not in his wildest dreams. He is not bad. He is, well, okay, almost good. But, no richness or warmth in his tone, no subtlety in his interpretations, pretty much run of the mill to my ears. Now, if the author had written, "He's good, but he is no Adam Lambert," I would be happy with the comparison. But suggesting that this guy sings BETTER than Adam is a travesty.

I know the news thread has moved on from this, but, I couldn't let it go by without chiming in.

As you were.

In addition to being Queen’s keyboard player since 1984, Spike has toured, recorded and performed with the living and late legends of our time and has played with some of the world’s finest musicians. It is through this extensive network of close musician friends, that Spike founded The SAS Band, back in 1994.
...

In the 80’s, after tours and studio work with Bob Geldof’s Boomtown Rats, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Thomas Dolby, Haircut 100 and Duran Duran, Spike commenced his 27 year career with Queen, joining them for two world tours, (“The Works” and “Magic”), as well as classic performances at “Live Aid”, “Rock in Rio”, “Live at Wembley” and “Knebworth”. Since then Spike has continued to perform and record with both Brian May and Roger Taylor on their solo projects. In 1987 Spike founded the band The Cross with Queen’s Roger Taylor, co-producing 3 albums “Shove It”, “Mad Bad and Dangerous To Know” and “Blue Rock” and in 1992 Spike joined The Brian May Band for the “Back to the Light” tour (the first of two world tours), followed by the “Another World” tour in 1997. Spike resumed his familiar position on the Queen stage for their 2005/2006 “Return Of The Champions” international tour and their 2008 “Cosmos Rocks” European and South American tours with a new line-up, featuring Paul Rodgers on vocals. Spike’s other work in his capacity as Musical Director for Queen includes the “Freddie Mercury Memorial Concert”.

OMG, Lynne!!! I can't believe you were hospitalized! I'm so sorry. Wow, you must've been so sick.

I'm so glad you're on the mend now.



Rest and recover and take care.

Ooh, Christie Goodwin just tweeted that she is shooting Adam and Queen at Sonisphere. OMMMMGGG!!! We are going to get such epic stuff from this peeps! I can feel it in my bones.

Also, amazing to think that this summer we'll have to actually have our little burned CDs of an entire set of Adam and Queen COMPETING WITH "Trespassing" for play in our lives. I will be switching back and forth like a crazy person.

Talk about an embarrassment of riches after the long, dry summer of 2011.
