He can’t write songs. Needs a band!

I have just dug a little bit. Apparently, AL didn't want to do an 80s cover album. Which I find strange since he has been touring with Brian and Roger for years now...singing cover songs. [/QUOTE]
They wanted him to do 80's covers but only new wave. He thought about it, said it didn't resonate with him and mentioned glam rock as a possibility but they were insistent it was new wave or nothing so he walked. He didn't want to do a covers album of any kind but definitely not new wave. Touring doing live covers isn't the same as recording covers, that's something he seems dead against.

Brian and Roger should help Adam get a band and leave it at that. Adam feels obligated to tour with them.[/QUOTE]
Genuine question...why should they help him get a band? If AL was to get a band he should get one himself. Only he knows who will gel with, and stuff like that.
And this might come across as snarky...not as if Brian and Roger have done enough for AL by now.

My point still stands however. He didn't want to do an album of 80s music, but still went on tour with Brian and Roger singing their music.
It's also strange in his recent appearances he sings other people's music. Days ago, once again a cover song which he ended up singing WWTLF. It's puzzling. [/QUOTE]
He has no new music to promote so he sings whatever he feels fits the situation. Aside from the Sag Aftra one the other night the previous one was celebrating Wicked's 15th year anniversary and everyone there had to sing something from the show. He was called up and asked to do that song since he'd previously played the part in the Wicked production. The other one he recorded recently was for the Elvis special to recreate an Elvis show so obviously everyone had to sing Elvis songs.

I don't think Adam has thought of the band idea. I think he likes his name appearing on album covers.

Why are you solely focused on live stuff? I don't give a shit about Adam's live performances, he's terrible.
I'm talking about making music... not reproducing it on stage. Adam needs a band if he wants to get further ahead. He has no control over his releases or anything. The only thing he has control of is the poor way he struts on stage like an obese man.
If he wants to further his talent, he needs to form a great band. [/QUOTE]
He previously said his album was finished then suddenly went back to writing/recording so clearly he was either sacked or walked from his label. My guess is they wouldn't support whatever direction he's wanting to go in and he wasn't prepared to compromise. He's done it before and I wouldn't blame him for doing it again. You might think he has no control but from things he's said in the past year he sounds like he's unwilling to keep compromising and is prepared to wait it out until he gets what he wants.
He obviously doesn't want a band or he'd have started one originally. I doubt that would make any difference regards the label situation and it's just more people to compromise with.

Hmm. I wonder if what he sings is what he chooses to sing. I get Wicked more than I get WWTLF...there are so many more songs from so many more movies that he could have done? Time For Miracles perhaps?
Thinking out loud.

Yeah, if he got rid of those stupid publishing deals with other song writers maybe he could get some where. Record companies love it when people work with them, it's a form of manipulation.
As for Brian and Roger? They can't even get good record deals anymore.
[/QUOTE]
I already said the songwriters he's working with currently are friends. And what makes you think B & R can't get good deals anymore, they haven't been trying to record music so how would you know?

No idea why he chose that one but since he has no new music out it doesn't really matter what he sings at the moment. Maybe he decided on a Queen song because the movie is just out or because he's not long finished touring with them and it's what he's currently more known for. It was an industry insider event anyway and wasn't televised so in the scheme of things I don't see it matters much.

A person in control would get their music released no matter what. It's not hard... especially with money to throw around.

No idea if they help him with anything but I'm sure they would if he wanted, they previously said "maybe we should be part of his recording future". As far as they're concerned the arrangement is mutually beneficial, they all get to tour and have fun while they're doing it, they don't see it as doing him a favour, it works both ways.

The music business never ends. Hollywood and Island Record's treatment of 'Queen Forever' and the stupid remixed single of 'Let Me In Your Heart Again' proved that.
Hollywood Records has never once promoted Queen or Freddie Mercury on their social media accounts. Not once!

Adam has the money and power to release music on his own, he doesn't need a label. In fact, he'll make way more money on his own, he'll just need a distributing deal.
