Adam-Hatter1
October was a relatively quiet month for Adam. His short set at AT&T Live Proud was one of the few times that Adam has performed solo in a while so was nice to see and hear. I’m sure that October will end with a bang since Adam is hosting his 2nd annual Halloween bash.
November’s photo is from Adam’s appearance at the Marco Marco fashion show.

    Yes, tothebeat, I still wander over there too from time to time.

    In terms of Queen “needing” to perform, I agree, it’s not really about money anymore, well except for Adam to build a handsome nest egg, but, they do raise money for Mercury Trust, AIDS research and programs, and I also believe they are truly in it for the fans.

    I just love it when Brian and Roger talk about how they never thought they would do this again, and that Adam has made them re-energized.

    Because of Adam’s extreme talents, Queen is now showing a whole new generation of fans around the world, what real rock sounds like. Nothing fancy, nothing fake, just great talents and staging and lights and sound. And a voice from another planet. In great shoes.

    But, if he is overseas, out of the country, on another continent when album 3 comes out, I just won’t even have words for my frustration.

    Totally agree with this, mils, I’ll be equally dumbstruck. And you and I are rarely at a loss for words…
    I also agree with your musing that the diehard fans were in fact the peeps who bought TSP when it came out. Lots of copies each. I still have a few here on a shelf somewhere.
    And we will of course do the same for #3.
    But that only, as we saw for TSP, brings it out with a roar…and then sales stagnate. That can’t happen with #3.

    I don’t think they could possibly make the same mistake as before about the album(?) release. Could they?

    Of course they could, luval.
    One thing I have learned from my Adam stanning is that the music business is broken and has no idea whatsoever what it is doing or should do.
    Yup, release singles first, as many of us have said many times.

    (And then there are the anomalies: Taylor Swift just sold a bajillion copies of her new album.)

    On a completely other subject…I just love Adam’s house (thanks to the poster for the SA article). It says ‘established’ without being gaudy or pretentious. Looks comfortable, not too big not too small, with a very masculine design and a nice outdoor space. Just the right price range for a solid investment.
    Cool

    At this point, everyone, Adam included, must be thinking out of the box IMHO. Do the old formulas, single, promo, radio play, still make sense? Is radio play, or even album sales the golden Grail? So much more money is made touring (but a lot more work). Taylor Swift pulled her music off Spotify. What does it all mean? I’m just waiting to see what they come up with and how they blend it with his Queen obligations, which I think will be a permanent thing for a while. They could do some fall touring next year, Japan, SA, and from then on just hit the studio together to write/record new stuff. (If Adam wants…) Big ifs for everything…..but I have faith.

  4. milwlovesadam says:

    So, Rocky Horror was finally on TV last night. Yes, I watched it. Again.

    But honestly, I can’t get over how alike the staging and costumes and drama of Sweet Transvestite and Killer Queen are.

    I mean, just look at how Tim Curry has his heels over the arm of his big ornate chair, and look at how they are glittery, and how he lounges all over it…sideways.

  5. milwlovesadam says:

    krads, and risky, I totally agree.

    The music biz doesn’t make any sense anymore. But, Swifty has had a single out way before her album was put out. And she still sold a gazillion albums.

    If Adam can possibly put out a single and get the right interviews, and some radio play, he could sell. I know I talk about Elvis Duran a lot, but, he has a hugely syndicated show, he and his co-hosts love Adam, and the artists he “pimps” so hard, do go on to sell big and get further recognition, and more adds and spins.

  6. luval says:

    I taped Rocky Horror from VH1 on Halloween night. Haven’t watched it yet but looking forward to it. Yup Sweet Transvestite & Killer Queen have lots of similarities.

    2015 should be very interesting. lol, kradamour..am looking at a couple of copies of Trespassing right now. I remember wanting to send some to Antarctica where there is a base but could never get anyone to return my e-mails. Laugh

  7. Kradamour says:

    ulti, thank you for that French promo! I just watched it….Adam only a tiny blip at the end, describing him as little known in France, but still a nice introduction.

  8. luval says:

    Didn’t Elvis Duran pimp Trespassing but it still didn’t help? It’s those damn program directors. But things could be different now. Would love to get some recent information on how radio play works today. Probably no change. Frown

    I remember wanting to send some to Antarctica where there is a base but could never get anyone to return my e-mails.

    lolol…the space station, luval. Try the space station…
    ROTFL
    Honestly, if anyone could pull that off, you could.
    Wink

  10. luval says:

    hahaha, kradamour!!! We shall see!

  11. luval says:

    Number 3

    Album sales, schmalbum sales. Nobody buys music anymore. Musicians make money through endorsements, concert tickets and merchandise. As “1989” is a hit album, Swift can make even more money off of it if she injects it into the national conversation, says music-industry commentator Bob Lefsetz. Every blog post, think piece and article (this one included), will sell more tickets. Mission accomplished.

    From bloomberg. We’ve probably read most of this.

  12. Kradamour says:

    Gotta say, I love love love Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ video (and the song, so catchy and bouncy!) Shallow? Yup. But so fun!
    She also did 8 vevo outtakes from the vid, and in the first one she talks about being an outsider. Interesting. I was comparing/contrasting it to what Adam has said in the past about not being one of the cool kids.

    ETA: just found this parody of Shake It Off from the Key of Awesome who did that sorry parody of Adam way back when…ouch!

    Whoops!

  16. riskylady says:

    Not a fan of her music to buy it, but certainly has hooks and is listenable. At least she has clothes on and doesn’t shove her ass (or worse) in our face. And even so, sold her music.

  17. Kradamour says:

    I have never liked a TS song before – this one has just caught my fancy.
    risky, Taylor Swift is no one’s fool, and plays by her own rules. It is doubtless not easy to be a young and pretty woman in the music business and be taken seriously as a strong woman. (I experienced that when I was among the small minority of women lawyers back in the day. In Norfolk, 2% of the bar was female. Yes, two.) I have mad respect for her.
    Having said that, there is a melancholy to her and a very clear sense of not fitting in and not understanding why she doesn’t. I wish her very well.

    Freddie and Roger – pic cracked me up – lol – in today’s cultural climate, the PC Police would’ve been after them –

    Not over here ulti…I really think from reading many comments when a ‘star’makes a faux pas on a costume that it really seems only to be a big issue in the States…I’ve never seen or heard the same reaction in the UK or here when someone dresses as someone from another culture. The Chinese enjoy seeing Gweilos dressing in traditional clothes and taking part in their festivals.

    Thursday 26 February LIVERPOOL Echo Arena
    Friday 27 February 2015 SHEFFIELD Motorpoint Arena
    Ticket prices: £59 – £69

    Pre-sale is on now.

  42. LadyNorth says:

    Cher you devil you beat me! Go to sleep Wink

  43. cher says:

    Smile ladynorth!! I really should

  44. LadyNorth says:

    Yes cher you should. But wake riskylady up to get tickets! Well, not another London visit for me, January & Prague in February is enough.

  45. LadyNorth says:

    I was just reading your convo about the timing of the third album. I agree, Adam should be in country at the time…

    My take is, release first single NOW (if there’s a possibility to get into the important shows on time before Queen tour in January) and more when Europe leg of the tour is done and he has time to promote it (unless they continue to Japan right afterThinking?)

  46. LadyNorth says:

    I listened to the Queen Forever Deluxe in spotify on weekend (before the real release date!) and loved it. It was a great almost 40 songs collection of mainly slower and touching Queen songs, loved it. Many songs I had not heard before and many I had heard, but didn’t have – I only have Greatest hits I and II. I’m definitely gonna buy that album as CD. I have always loved Queen’s music, why the heck I haven’t gone through the whole catalog when I found the band??? Maybe because it was the time before youtubes, spotify or any other possibility to hear all songs before you buy the whole album. I usually only bought collections of the hits.

    But that way you may miss so many great songs. Many Adam’s songs I love are not singles, they are even extra songs on the albums. I got myself spotify premium without adds, so that I can easier find new music and decide what to buy. Which is the best place to buy music digitally when one doesn’t have any apple equipment? I have a pc with windows 8 and also windows phone (very bad for arranging music, I have big troubles with my self-made mp3s Frown ) Thank you if someone has advice for me, I bet all of you have iphone & itunes.

  47. luval says:

    Omg. The UK got the motherlode of concerts! You think it is over, then BAM!

  48. cwm says:

    OMG new dates in the UK!

    So unfortunately, of course, they correspond exactly with the dates that I need to be in Amsterdam for my work conference. Nothing is ever easy and uncomplicated! But I MIGHT be able to swing the Sheffield show on Friday the 27th if I leave the conference in the early afternoon (it’s the last day), catch the one late afternoon flight from Amsterdam to Leeds, drive (or taxi? or train?) the hour from Leeds to Sheffield, stash my luggage somewhere, and arrive just before the show starts. Is it possible? Maybe.

    Is anybody else interested in going to the Sheffield show? Last show of the tour! (Presumably)

    Gah! And pre-sale has started NOW so there’s little time to work it all out!

    ETA: I think I would want standing tickets. The entire floor of the arena is standing. Sounds like fun…

    So true –

    I absolutely love this pic…would love for it to somehow be the pic of the month….

  50. ultimathule says:

    Holy toledo – how many concerts is that – this going to be the never-ending tour? On to Japan, maybe, like Brian proposed? The boy will be rollin’ in dough.

    http://www.queenonline.com/en/news-archive/queen-adam-lambert-three-more-uk-dates-announced-pre-sales-now-on/

    Well, they do say this –

    “There was a lot of demand for these extra dates, and this will make a great climax to the tour.”
