    … Ok I’ll try to stop geeking out over that moment now. Wink

    Honestly ulti, I love both of those pics. Adam looks so cool in the first and so bendy in the second and both he and Gaga work together visually. Hope it shows up a lot. And if people check out the video? Only works better for him. Devil

    Has this one been posted about Freddie’s former PA ? Then again, if I were a PA I would of course prefer my (former) boss who I served for years…compared to a temporary substitute.

    @AL.. so nice of Adam to show us his favorites.. I wonder which KQ video he will choose as his favorite.

    ETA: If I were Adam, I would choose the one with the “Hi Mum”…LOL

    Hi Axxxxel, I posted that article about Freddie’s former PA this morning on the August thread. I suppose he was as complimentary to Adam as he could have been, considering that he is promoting a tribute band.

    Queen in Melbourne tonight. They played with the same passion & panache as the Queen I was privileged to see in 1979!

    ultimathule, I posted that b&W pic from the restaurant on the August thread. Might be a consideration for next month’s up top photo. Sheesh September is coming so quickly.

    lol, luval – think I remember Adam’s posting last year, “October already?” – well, he may be saying it again. Due to QAL overload this year has just zipped by – want to yell out – “Slow Down, pleeeeez!”

    And I’ll go for that top photo pic – a lot can be read into that look every time we log in –

    Queen were phenomenal! Adam Lambert done brilliantly as a front man and would have made Freddie proud! Seeing Freddie’s face and hearing his vocals during the tributes was heartbreaking Frown Brian May and Roger Taylor have still got it! One of the best shows I’ve ever seen! #queen #rodlaver
