As July ends the “Trespassing” touring era now seems to be over with the last show at Paso Robles. But work continues as Adam is to be part of the Glee cast and also is guesting on Avicii’s new single “Lay Me Down”. It may be quiet on the touring front but there are always surprises. When it comes to Adam, expect the unexpected! Photo from Alikat1323 Smugmug.
Enjoy the chat!

    I think there is always a chance until they say No. I don’t think that will happen at this point though. I also don’t believe the availability excuse. That was just a nice way to say Thanks but no Thanks.

    Not sure if this has been talked about but it looks like Brian may go down the knee replacement surgery road. If that happens, he is looking at at least 6 months of rehab.

    Dr. Brian May ‏@DrBrianMay 27 Jul
    My knee is deteriorating in spite of intensive physical therapy. I’m heading for the knee replacement op.

    I am a bundle of positive outlook today…The ride is fun but it also sucks sometimes.

    luval Interesting thought on the Katy Perry possible tour….could be….Shoshanna just tweeted about her again.

    AL, do you intend to have Adam’s picture showing for the August thread on the home page? Just wondering – picture is above once I jump to August Chat thread, but not on home page, which makes the August Chat less indented then the other threads on the home page.

    Glad someone is checking, Soccermom! It’s added now.

    Also, under Chat thread shortcut at the top, shouldn’t August be listed there too?

    That was just to make things easier to navigate to older threads. I did add the August thread too since if you wander off to a concert thread, it will make it easier to find your back here.
    Thanks for the heads up!

    Someone on Adamtopia (might have been Q3 actually) was also saying that Adam could probably provide a lot of info about the whole process but never would because he doesn’t burn bridges.

    Also, in case anyone was thinking about Avicii as a possible love interest for Adam, I checked and it seems he has a girlfriend. When asked his sexual preference specifically in an interview he said “its complicated”, but fans and friends say that he was just joking around to cause buzz, but that he is not gay. Of course, perhaps the eyebeams could convert him.

    I am a little confused. Does this mean Cindi Lauper is having another gig which includes Adam or are they talking about the past one?

    Past one from what I can decifer from the blurry scan. Under the heading “She has famous friends”, they talk about her “Cyndi Lauper & Friends benefit which included appearances from pals including [Whoopi, Rosie] and Adam Lambert”

    lol, I had to go to google about the knee replacement down time. You are correct, aely! My friends mom had one but it didn’t seem like it took that long. Everyone’s different I guess

    Ha! It took me an entire year to get back to playing competitive tennis after I ripped apart my ACL and tore my meniscus and I have heard knee replacement is just as bad. Some of my rehab partners had that done and were struggling. I think 6 months is optimistic.

    I could walk after 2 weeks but to play tennis competitively or embark on a tour no way. Think about all the pro athletes that hurt their knee, they are out at least a year.

    About Glee, if there’s someone else outside US who is missing Glee episodes, I found this site and successfully watched the last one Smile But I don’t know the characters yet, so have to watch more and read about them in advance.

    aely et al – I had a knee replacement. I went to a party a week later (that was a bit tough). At 7 weeks I flew to a friend’s funeral and stood through several hours of receptions ( a few scotches helped). At 12 weeks I was doing great but didn’t get on my bike til 4 months. Travelled to Italy and walked a lot at 5 months. Luckily I didn’t have a full-time job. I had fabulous physio, was back in the pool for daily aqua aerobics at 6 weeks. “Full recovery” means as good as you will ever be and probably does take a year (swelling can take a long time to disappear), but the first few weeks/months are when most of the recovery takes place.

    LadyNorth, I clicked on the Glee link you posted and was amazed by the random junk that got installed on my computer when I upgraded my media player as instructed to view the program. It took a fair while to clean it up, and I am not at all sure that the media player even needed upgrading, it was likely all a scam.
    Back to Amazon for me! (except for season 4)
    If anyone else decides to go this route, after you install the upgrade to the media player, go open control pane, then add/remove programs, click on “date installed” and uninstall everything except the uPlayer that was installed at the same time.
    I also uninstalled some random adware.

  15. ultimathule says:
    08/02/2013 at 8:10 pm

    Yes, Krad, see those “upgrade” windows pop up (sometimes when I’m dling a YT to iTunes) – another will say upgrading computer, click here to finish or something like that. Always ignore them and things process fine. (Is this what you meant?)

  16. retjenny says:
    08/02/2013 at 8:22 pm

    Diddo Calgary! Two years ago I had knee replacement in late April and went to Hawaii in July and I am significantly older than Dr. May! I think that is pretty average for that surgery now days.

  17. Kradamour says:
    08/02/2013 at 8:29 pm

    yes, ulti, I always ignore them, I know better, but I’m tired today and clicked without thinking and oh well, the rest was history until I uninstalled the whole mess. Ugh. No
    The site is full of junk that wants to be loaded/installed/whatever. Takes a little while to navigate around it all to get to the Glee program. Caveat!

    random junk that got installed on my computer when I upgraded my media player

    There is always a box to unclick (opt out) before the
    programs download. I think a person should have to “opt in”
    but that isn’t the way it works.

  20. ultimathule says:

    Thanks, twilight – asked a couple. Where do you see answers to these questions? Is there a “feed” or something? Not sure how that works.

    Sorta figured it out – answers are incorporated in question (if he does answer).

    Actually, there wasn’t. This was a very sketchy install…about 8 random things were snuck onto my computer without notice.

    Yay, twitter party! It’s been a while!

    I started the download process for that media player and my
    anti-virus protection program gave me a warning. So stopped. If I had really wanted the program would have gone ahead, with care.

    Nice twitter party! Missed it. At dinner with a friend that I have not seen in a couple of years. We started talking music and he wants to go to the next Adam concert with me! YES!! He really really wants to go to the next Queen concert. He said he would even travel….Love it….dang it, this is the third time I could have given away DVD’s.

    About the knee surgery, my surgery they had to remove one of my hamstring muscles to rebuild my ACL so I know that is different. My doctor told me that knee replacement rehab is about 6 months and rehab on what I had done took a year. My surgery was July 16th and I was on a three week European vacation August 30th. No way was I going to miss that. I got around fine, slow but fine. All my point was that it would be hard to get into shape to go on a world tour before 6 months. I have never felt quite as strong as before which sucks.

    I just knew Brian would need to replace that knee after he kept saying it wasn’t healing well. My sister had hers done 18 mos. ago (10 yrs younger than me btw) and I stayed with her for a month. She was in pretty good shape when I left, just started driving. If he did it right away, he might be OK for a 40-min set by Sept. 20 with no complications. Or, decide to wait….

    And ESPECIALLY for the yummy photo at the top of that page! Def a keeper. Smile

    Has anyone else noticed that the twitter and youtube and other names of posters and tweeters that post on Websites such as magazine articles or other are no longer quite as berty? It used to be that they were all -bert or -bulge or something that was obviously a play on Adam’s name. And many of what I assume to be new fans even have “names” that reference other performers, like luvpink or mydirection.
    The ripples go out farther each day!

    Sorry kradamour you got so much s**t from the glee link I posted Frown There was nothing for me, I just watched! I hope that doesn’t mean all that crab is already on my lap top Shock

    That’s why I usually don’t download any programs, I don’t understand enough what I get… I’ve been told that many free programs come with a load of other programs, unless you click off some options…

    jlurk, do you think it’s safe to watch shows through that site if I don’t download anything?

    Next heat wave (I know, it’s nothing compared to yours Wink ) is gonna hit the town today, so tomorrow I head to the countryside again. But today is going to be fun, meeting old pals from the past, based on the fun we had yesterday evening online. We shared old pics and memories (over 25 years ago) and laughed so hard… Nothing has changed Grin

    watched some shows at that site.

  40. rs says:
    08/03/2013 at 3:25 am

    LadyNorth, that is what I like about the link that I use. There are many choices, Some want you to download a link and some just have the shows. I just watch the show when I want to. Some links are slower than others and some times of the day (morning for us) are faster. Anyway, when you are interested, email me and I will give you a more detailed tutorial. Meanwhile, enjoy your reunion with old friends.

  41. LadyNorth says:
    08/03/2013 at 3:42 am

    Thanks jlurk Smile And rs too, I’ll get back to you when I return from the bushes. Too slow to watch anything there… There were 4 options to watch on your site, 2 free, two cost something. All of them said “not available outside US or US military areas…” But I’m still gonna try that signing up.

  42. rs says:

    Looks like a gig w/Nile!!!

    (Not sure if this was the gig Avicii said he would be preforming)???
    To early for me to dig around.

    ETA: Avicii will be there! Wish I could go!! What could they possibly be introducing?? HA!

    Good morning. 2 weeks until the CHIC gig. Reserve Table for 10 ($6500) sold out Never enough lead time for me, especially on a Monday night!I imagine Nile already had this and invited Adam and Avicii just recently. I am thinking guest could be Pharrell and/or of course Daft Punk. 6 hour drive for me. Probably not going to happen.

    Had an interesting dinner last night with some friends including this guy…grammy nominated, world renowned guitar player
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Lucas

    Gifted him the Adam/Queen dvd (thanks jlurk). Of course talked about Adam non stop. He didn’t seem to mind. His view of the “biz” today is exactly what we talk about here. I mean he has a resume a yard long, has sold millions of records with several people yet still is a “poor musician” trying his best to get gigs. Illegal downloading, flavor of the month, so so many artists out there that can be seen on youtube and social media, rarely any that make it. Very hard to weed through to find the good stuff. He’s been around for a long time but still keeps up with current music. Loves rock, dance, many different genres. Still plays clubs and solo events quite a bit though.

    He loves to collab and asked me to “tell Adam I’d love to collab with him”. Laugh Explained I don’t know him but will tell him if I ever get the chance. Am going to send him Adam covering Bob Marley.

    Talked about so much more but won’t bore you. Off to breakfast with a friend!
