Papillon Parade Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ah yes, if only I didn't dislike him so much I'd love him. Good tune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsr8j Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I don't know if this has been discussed yet but on Americna Idol the other night, one of the kids sang "When the Stars Go Blue." The host said something to the effect, "Now doing Tim McGraw's "When the Stars Go Blue"..." Ryan Adams got no mention. Martina McBride was the contestant's coach this week and told the kid singing the song, "I was talking to Tim last week and he was wondering if any of the contestants were going to do one of his songs." Kind of sad that the songwriter gets no credit but then again, maybe that's a good thing if they pick your song to be on American Idol. I wasn't really paying attention (I hate Blake and can't stand Tim McGraw), but when he got to the chorus I started paying attention. I love Ryan Adam's (original) version of this song. I had no idea Tim McGraw covered it. I also thought it was terrible that Ryan got no mention either the night of the performance or on the results show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaysettes Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 WHERE'S THE HOT BASSIST?!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo Jones Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 He will be playing What Sin Replaces Love? on the episode that airs tonight at 11 on IFC. I have only met Ryan Adams once and it was nine years ago. He was very nice and humble. I have heard that he is a nightmare from a guy I know who does sound for bands and has worked with him. I am sure the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orkie Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 He wants to be the Grateful Dead so bad. WHERE'S THE HOT BASSIST?!?! She tours with Mark Olson now - a much better songwriter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 She tours with Mark Olson now - a much better songwriter.yeah but his last couple records... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airtaco Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Did anyone see the show? Henry Rollins is such a badass, but I've never watched. I just can't get over how much talent Ryan has. He should have been a star, but oh well. At least I get to love his music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 yeah, the performance was good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orkie Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 yeah but his last couple records... Agreed. Mystic Theater was awful. Political Manifest was OK. He was just going through the motions. Thankfully he no longer has Victoria in the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 What?!?! I just meant I hope the album leaks soon. Looking forward to hearing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brettac1 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Outside of Wilco, Ryan is my favorite artist. He's just taken it to whole different level with the Cards and then sobriety. This is going to be the album that gets him taken seriously, and we won't have to hear the b.s. about "potential" all the time. He was supposed to be coming to Milwaukee in January, but then that tour got wiped out. It's getting rescheduled now, so hopefully the same venues are on the itinerary. I can't wait to see him.

Shakey Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The other guitar player, Neil something, is a bucket full of talent with a great voice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brettac1 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Neal Casal. He is definitely awesome. The harmonies, in the live shows especially, are terrific. He has some solo work, as well. Mostly really mellow stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imsjry Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 As a huge Deadhead, I wish Ryan would stop trying to sound like them. He is better just being himself IMO. I did love Cold Roses but now everything he plays sounds like The Dead. I hope the rest of the disc is a bit more..well Ryan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unblowupable Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Personally, I think he's a huge jerk, but I don't see that that has anything to do with his talents as a songwriter or musician. And he's prolific enough that I also don't like every single thing he does. I think I'd enjoy ritual bloodletting more than I would a second listen through his Rock 'N' Roll album, for example. He gets an exuberant amount of bad press. Like with the whole summer of '69 thing. I saw him on that tour and it was amazing, all acoustic solo with a couple of strings. You could hear a pin drop, anyway at the Ryman that night he invites out Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and during their song, this jackass is just yelling out. It's not like it was a request in between tunes, that Ryan just couldn't bear to hear. Rock N Roll was made in 7 days due to pressure from his label to release a more radio friendly rock record. He wanted to do loveishell as a double album, and they comprimised on if he released rocknroll as his album he could release love is hell as 2 EP's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stickman Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Anybody know if there is a free way to download either the audio or video off the Rollins Show website? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have never fooled with capturing streaming audio or video - mainly due to the sound quality issues - I may try it eventually to see how it works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
