Icy, get a grip, girl!!! You are off the charts right now. Just scroll past Caroline. You have her constantly in your sights and won't ever let go. Your behavior is the one that is bordering on cray cray. She posts a few links and is a big fan. As someone else said, they appreciate some of the links to find out what is going on with QAL! If it bothers you, let it go, as it doesn't bother many of us. You are always chastizing. I have told you before, even though you think you "like" Adam, you don't. For some reason you think Adam is marginalizing Freddie, which he can't and doesn't, but you go nuts over it. Any praise of Adam, to you, somehow takes away from Freddie. But that is not how it works. QAL is its own thing that only helps reinforce Freddie and all the wonderful things he did. It makes people remember him and his music. And contrary to what you say, Queen's music was not at the forefront anymore like it used to be. Once you no longer put out new stuff and tour, you fade to the back of people's minds EXCEPT for the diehard Queen Fans. QAL is a good thing for Queen and Freddie and for the fans. It is out in the bigger world and gaining new fans. As far as Caroline, can you get off her back, please? You are going to have a stroke if you keep on like that and no one wants to read all that garbage as it is same old, same old! Why do you hate her so much. It is just like runner with Adam. Believe me, there is no difference between you two!

He's not living on their laurels he's giving them the opportunity to still be out there playing in arena's doing what they love, how is that a bad thing. They have said it's because of Adam they're able to do this and they still want to at the moment so he'd be pretty ungrateful to just drop them and say I'm gonna concentrate on my solo stuff now after the opportunity they gave him to do this in the first place. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement that they all get a kick out of and the fact they all like each other and get on well is probably part of the reason it's lasted this long. End of the day it will last as long as it lasts and when they're done, what Adam ends up doing is his own business. He's managed to balance this with his solo career so far, maybe he'd have done more solo stuff if he wasn't with them, who knows but he's been working on Album 4 for over a year between tour legs, it's not like he's just sat back and done nothing else.
Here is a 10-year timeline for those who think Adam is “lazy” ....,
2008 - Auditioned at Idol with “Bohemian Rhapsody”
2009 - Performed on Ametican Idol for 3 months culminating in the finale with Brian and Roger on May 20th; toured in 50 cities on Idol tour while recording music for his 1st album.
2010 - Solo toured his 1st album worldwide from June to December in 110 venues.
2011-2012 - Worked on his 2nd album, performed at EMAs and at 6 European/UK events with QAL.
2013 - Released, promoted and solo toured 2nd album.
2014 - Toured US, Europe, Asia, Oceania with QAL.
2015 - Released and solo toured 3rd album.
2016 - NYE Show on BBC and toured South America with QAL.
2017 - Toured US and Europe with QAL.
2018 - Toured Oceania, Europe, UK with QAL while working on 4th album.
During this time also filmed segments on Glee as Elliott and Rocky Horror Picture Show and recorded song for Captain Underpants soundtrack. Adam is the energizer bunny; he is not lazy and will NOT have time for a PT job at McDonald’s! LOL

You missed off the Australian X factor in 2016.
Yes, I missed X Factor in Australia and the NYE QAL show was December, 2014. Haven’t double checked the dates for Rock In Rio and South America.

I have a grip. Sweetcaroline 'asked' a question, she didn't like what I had to say. Why can't she scroll past my posts? More fun for her to stir the crap, I guess.
Queen's music has always been there. It's not because of Q+AL the music is still being sold, downloaded, used on TV and film. Rainbow and Queen on Air were great releases, which had zilch to do with AL, and Queen got at least some new fans from that.
Yes, there's differences between runner and I.

Brian and Roger as well as the Queen music is giving AL the opportunity to play places and venues he wouldn't be able to do with his own music. Some make it seem AL is the one doing the favor for Brian and Roger.
Q+AL won't last forever. Brian and Roger will miss touring, that I have no doubt. AL will miss the luxury and the press that gives him attention singing Queen songs, because I think Q+AL is going to be the pinnacle of his career.

It is MY POV that is not being accepted. Negative posts are accepted but anything positive is called fan girling, over the top, unrealistic, etc etc etc. I’m not trying to promote anything that is false. The QAL shows ARE amazing and spectacular and not just because of Adam. What Adam does in the future is HIS business, not mine or anyone else’s. So far he has survived quite nicely. He is happy performing with two legendary guys. Others are at home staring at their multiple recording Grammys because they are not comfortable performing live. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses! Adam has put out 3 albums and is working on a 4th. It is wrong to say he is sitting back riding on Queen’s coattails.
[/QUOTE]
Cry me a river. You can never admit to being wrong. You were wrong to say on QOL that people didn't accept AL because AL is gay. You stated that as if it was fact, and it's simply untrue and lies, that was beyond being negative. If you ever get back there, how about an apology from you? Or at least be decent enough to say you were wrong about that.
When you put things out there sweetcaroline, especially the way you do it, not everyone is going to feel the way you do about it. That's what you cannot accept after more than 6 years. You have said many times people aren't real Queen fans if they don't go to Q+AL.
I don't know why defending and promoting AL is so important to you. I don't know why you become upset over the least little thing. You become extremely defensive and upset enough to say I'm a hateful person, and for you to compare me to Trump just hours ago. That is way OTT, but not that you will ever admit to it, let alone to be sorry and say that you are sorry.
Yes, AL is riding on Queen's coattails. No doubt he does work hard, but he has put more time and effort touring with Brian and Roger than his own tours and his own music. It's been that way for years now. It's very unlikely he will be able to fill those venues the way Q+AL does now, without Brian and Roger and the Queen music.

That's why I said it's a mutually beneficial arrangement. Adam never fails to say how grateful he is for the opportunity and how he enjoys the travelling in style with Queen etc but he also loves to do his solo stuff as well. He recently said in an interview but I can't remember which, that Roger & Brian are friends now and that whilever they want to tour he'll be available. I don't see it as him doing them a favour as such but he knows as does anyone who've seen their numerous interviews that they don't want to tour with anyone else so he has to be aware that if he goes off to do his solo stuff that essentially means they have to stop as well. He said he's intending doing his solo stuff next year unless any Queen related things come up, or at least he will fit it in with anything Q+ are offered that Brian & Roger want to do. I'm paraphrasing but that was the general gist of it. He said none of them expected it to last this long so I don't think he originally intended to put his solo career on the sidelines but things just snowballed.

He should be grateful. Brian and Roger and the Queen legacy has done wonders for getting AL's name out there. Not that it will help him sell millions of albums, not that I look at AL as the new Freddie, not that I will ever believe he has replaced Freddie. AL has the most to lose once Q+AL is over.
Well, yes d hope after decades of knowing each other that Brian and Roger would be friends. I think at one point Brian, Roger, and Paul Rodgers were friends...and look how that went down.
Whenever Brian and Roger want to tour, AL will be available? That's too bad honestly. And yes, to me that's taking the easy way out, and AL riding on coattails. Sad he would be willing to drop his own career for Q+AL. I think his solo career isn't the piroity for AL. He should at least be honest and say he would rather focus on Q+AL instead of the mixed messages about his own music, IMO.

From all the various interviews I've seen both by Adam solo and with Brian & Roger that isn't the impression I have at all. His career is his priority but he's also a decent guy who wouldn't shit on anyone to get where he want's to be and after working with them for this long he's not gonna bail on them, he cares about them too much and he also enjoys working with people he's friends with, he likes the familiarity. Most of his friends are ones he's had since well before Idol, he's loyal and his philosophy on life is that you give back and don't be selfish with what you have. Maybe he's too idealistic for the cutthroat music business but at the end of the day you have to stay true to yourself, or at least he does, maybe why he's not as successful as he could be given his level of talent.

I never doubt that he works hard. No doubt in my mind he does. I can't help but wish for more solo music from him, because I like him as a solo artist more than I like him singing many of the Queen songs. Some Queen songs he sings I think he does very well, others not so much.
With his own solo music, it seems at least he has many fingers into the one pie, and trying to see what could stick will be tough. The music industry is forever changing and I wonder if that's for the better. For some artists, it will be very tough, and it will be for AL, I think. I hope he has people in the business side of things that will have his best interests in mind.
