"HOT METRO FINDS: Social Media Fans Do A Better Journalism Job With Queen and Adam Lambert Than Mainstream Media"
***EXCERPTS & SOUND BITES FROM THE ARTICLE:***
"The recent Queen tour with Adam Lambert has reached epic proportions on the web. It has literally continued with a life all its own. The fans are nothing short of fanatical and the audience is not only supportive but interactive. They have reported on the smallest details of the day to day activities of their hero Adam Lambert. The music of Queen has been given new life and meaning and rock and roll has a new face. That energy — that action — has permeated throughout the social media landscape and it is nothing short of amazing."
"This sort of activity has brought as much as 155 people a minute to my websites. This isn’t paid web traffic but real people in real time talking about their musical adoration. The fans have journalistic integrity and will engage other fans to share a growing collection of live concert photos that the mainstream media have missed. They also have included video footage of concerts and have even recreated entire concerts on Youtube. These video clips have been strung together."
"Meanwhile the mainstream media has been somewhat absent. The reports in Michigan were really offbeat and flat out weird. There was very little mentioned about the Queen show with Adam Lambert at the Palace of Auburn Hills...."
"After reading a couple of the local press reviews I am convinced that who ever wrote them didn’t even attend the concert — which makes their observations a complete fabrication."
"In contrast, the fans have over stepped their bounds and have filled in the journalist shoes and have delivered extensive concert information from the tours various cities including New York, Chicago and Atlantic City."
"There has been a rebirth of rock music in the popular mainstream and major media seems to have missed that."
"This [Queen + Adam Lambert Concert] set list has brought the classic rock era in tune with a pop icon of this generation to make something sensational. It’s off the charts and it is a living, breathing, dynamo that has taken off to Australia, Asia and now the tour will go back to the UK."
"...watching these guys play on stage is truly magical. When you see a rock band like this come together and see it touch generations young and old is truly amazing."
"The fans are oblivious to the rank reviews and half hearted attempts to stay interested. They have taken the role of reporter, video VJ, photographer and have stepped over mainstream media and are communicating to one another — fan to fan — and don’t give a damn about what what it thinks."
"That is exciting. For us. For them. For everyone."
