So...why did, "Live Around The World", not sell in the U.S.?!

It wasn’t just metal. Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, and Prince were part of the Filthy Fifteen. It really was a laughing stock.

Oh wow, I didn't know about those
.

Rob Halford had to go to court because of a suicide pact between two sad individuals. I believe it was the parents suing Priest because of subliminal messages on the Stained Glass album.

Now that I remember. My eldest brother was and still is a huge metal fan.

I'm glad when I was growing up I could listen to what I wanted. I learned about sex because of George Michael. No joke.

So...why did, "Live Around The World", not sell in the U.S.?! You would have thought the QUEEN phenomenon that has been going on the last few years there/here never happened. Queen, who? I don't get it. They did their first stadium show in the U.S. before this came out. Does Hollywood Records intentionally sabotage them or the people there don't know who they are or don't care?

I've not felt the urge to go out and buy it and I guess that's true for many Americans. I did note from my days living in the USA that if an album was not obvious in Target or Walmart, it did not sell. I do think that Hollywood Records are useless at promoting the band in North America.

I've no interest in QAL, after seeing them in Hammersmith way back in 11/12 when ever I though he was second rate after PR and was really trying to use the gay thing as a point of difference when he didn't have much else to offer (his voice is garbage and I should know, I'm a singing teacher). I have had no interest in that sideshow since whereas I saw QPR a few times.

Neither act though are Queen.

Just because you are a singing teacher it does not mean you are some authority on good singers though. One need only look at reaction videos on Youtube to see what singing teachers think of Lambert's voice - and none of them have called him garbage or anything remotely similar. You do not think much of his voice, which is fine - but to call it garbage is beyond ridiculous and blatantly not true.

I am no Adam fan. And I do not take to his vocal histrionics. But I can recognise that although he is not my cup of tea he has one hell of a set of pipes on him. And I have enough faith in the two men who played alongside the greatest Rock singer in the world for decades to know what a good voice is.

We can all argue about QPR being better than QAL or vice versa. Personally I found QPR dull as dishwater and lacking any stage presence (Rodgers is a wonderful Blues Rock singer but hardly captivating to watch - it's like watching an old uncle dancing at a wedding). QAL are not for me either though - I find the whole thing way too choreographed, polished and a bit false.

That's cool but reaction videos are the most contrived shite on earth. All clickbate rubbish.

Nah. To write off every single reaction video as clickbait is not fair. Of course there are some which are clickbait - that's a given in today's society; but there are some which are genuine. The one I posted below is just one amongst many others which is clearly not clickbait. Maybe you have only watched a limited few.
