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.

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?

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!

Ah right, I thought you were talking about recording new music.

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.

Not that easy, when you choose to walk away from a record label there's often a clause that stops you releasing new music for x amount of time, It took Kesha four years to settle a legal dispute with Sony and in that time she couldn't release any new music. They also own the rights to any music you've already started recording so if that was the case for Adam he'd have to start again from scratch with the writing/recording process.

He may well be planning on doing that, especially since he's working with songwriter friends and appears to be recording in their studios but he'll still have to wait out the period of time stipulated before releasing any of it.

Brian and Roger should help Adam get a band and leave it at that. Adam feels obligated to tour with them.

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.

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.

AL needs to find his own way/s...to be independent and Brian Roger won't be around forever, what then?

I'm sure he is finding his own way.

I admire your faith in the guy. I wish him the best...but I do think he needs to cut the apron strings with Cowell, Brian, Roger, branch out more. It's going to be a test for him once Q+AL ends.

Oh my God, that crappy "Kesha" is irrelevant. She was signed the whole time those four years with Sony and that crappy Dr. Luke guy. When you're signed to a record label, and then you file lawsuits at them, and also dealing with mental health issues, things tend not to get accomplished. She publicly acknowledged that she wanted to be dismissed by the label.

Adam apparently has been dismissed from Warner Brothers. After being dismissed by a record label, you can still make and release music. I'd bet you anything that nothing is preventing him from doing so. He could easily do it independently, as I've mentioned. Hell, he's got enough money to form his own record label.

He's just a guy in the industry who's working his ass off doing whatever comes his way the same as anyone would. If he gets offered a gig touring with arguably one of the greatest bands of all time he'd be an idiot to turn it down and he'd be an idiot to turn down an appearance on X Faxtor or Idol considering the amount of people who watch those shows. That's not apron strings that just making the most of opportunities to be seen. He's done loads of appearances recently, presenting at award shows, being asked to perform at shows, he'll be part of the playmobil movie, an appearance on some show in December in LA, none of them related to Brian, Roger or Simon. He gets plenty of work that's totally unrelated to Queen or Simon but he's not gonna turn them down if they're offered.

There's no way to know if he was dismissed or walked but I do know he couldn't release music last time for a while after leaving RCA. He's all but said there's a reason he can't put music out at the moment, he answered someone on Insta the other week asking when his album would be released and he said "I wish I knew". He also said on live insta stream " I can write and record the album but there's a whole lot of business bs that has to be sorted and put in place". I don't believe he's in a position to release music or he would, all his fans know he's impatient and wouldn't just wait around if he had a choice.

I do have one question though - from the things you've been writing about him and his live shows why does it even matter, it's not like you'll be buying his music or going to his shows so I would think it irrelevant to you if he never released another song in his life.

You’re right. His music doesn’t mean much to me, nor does his love performance. However, it’d be neat to see him in a rock band making rock songs.

I'd love that too but I doubt there's much chance, well not beyond him having a backing band. No reason he couldn't do rock that way I suppose, I guess time will tell.

I can't see him doing a full rock album, or have a full rock band.
I'd be interested if that did happen. It just that he changes his mind about his sound and genre. Remember the blusey feel he said he was going for?

Who said they don’t like Adam strutting on stage because he is obese?
