bouche Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 ryan adams is the new benchmark. basically, if you can perform like him, you got it. guitarists and musicians never seem satisfied, but I think if you can attain what he's accomplishing with writing, singing and playing, that's all you really need.he probably starts with a melody.

Booche Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 he probably starts with a melody. Actually, he starts with song titles. I dont really think he is the new benchmark. He's just fucking got it man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdy Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 anyway... It's been a long and tryin' bad day Little mockingbirds are out there singing But the moon plays tricks on my darling And I ain't done, but I'm going Feeling wounded, like the army There's no medic, here to calm me And my scars are all showing And I ain't done, but I'm going When these young winds, they calm down Maybe one day you'll think of me When you go out and hit the town With your love, have a drink for me 'Cause it's been so long, for just half over They don't make coats for this kind of cold, doll Sometimes you can't find the thing to free ya And I ain't done, but I'll see ya Cause lord I ain't done, but I'll see ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 So, I am in the twilight of my youth Not that I'm going to remember Have you seen the moon tonight, is it full? Still burning it's embers The people dancing in the corner They seem happy, but I am sad I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had Does anybody wanna take me home? Does anybody wanna take me home? Take me to your house and I'll leave you alone Of course I will, of course I won't It seems so tragic, but it disappears like magic Like magic Like magic Can you recommend an education or drugs Because I'm bored with you already I'm on Broadway and I think it's a parade I'm covered in pieces of confetti And I am in the twilight of my youth Not that I'm going to remember Dancing and slowly and finding the truth And it covered in coma All these people in my life, they seem so in love Well, I am not Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop Does anybody wanna take me home? Does anybody wanna take me home? I'm kinda lonely, will you take me home? Of course you will, of course you won't Of course I'm crass, it seems so tragic Of course you will, of course you won't But I'll disappear, I'll disappear Just like magic Just like magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played 'til my fingers bled It was summer of '69 Me and some guys from school Had a Band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I shualda known we'd never get far Oh when I lock back now That was seemes to last forever And if I had the choice Ya - I'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life (CHORUS) Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do Spent my evenin's down at the drive in And that's when I met you Standin on a mama's porch You told me that you'd wait forever Oh and when you held my hand I knew that it was no or never Those were the best days of my life (Chorus) Back in Summer of '69 Man we were killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' can last forever, no And now the times are changin' Look at everything that's come and gone Somethimes when I play that old six-string I think about ya wonder what went wrong Standin' on a mama's porch You told me it would last forever Oh the way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Come on C-Towns. Try harder next time. That is an easy code to bust. I went down to Houston And I stopped in San 'Antone I passed up the station for the bus I was trying to find me something But I wasn't sure just what Man I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance I was spending money like the way it likes to rain Man I ended up with pockets full of cane Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home I ain't never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what Funny how they say that “some things never change†Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home Up here in the city feels like things are closing in The sunset's just my light bulb burning out I miss KENTUCKY and I miss my family All the sweetest winds they blow across the south Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2007/08/ryan-adams-temp.html Ryan Adams' tempered tantrum Aug 6, 2007, 08:43 PM | by Shirley Halperin Categories: Music Ryan_l_2 Everything started out beautifully. Ryan Adams, the ever-prolific alt-country ambassador, was set to play 18 songs for his Yahoo Live Sets performance on Sunday evening, to the delight of 200 or so fans in attendance. The stage was serene, with dimly-lit Japanese lanterns hanging above. The sound was pristine. Adams' voice was in fine form and his mood upbeat. Kicking off the set with "Goodbye Rose" from his latest album, the critically-acclaimed Easy Tiger, Adams and the Cardinals, his stellar back-up band, tore through the first five songs effortlessly, among them " Wildflowers" and " Blue Hotel." It had the makings of a perfect night. For those all-too-familiar with Adams' erratic behavior over the years, you could sense a collective sigh of relief give way to enthusiasm and respect as he jammed on to "The Sun Also Sets," "Easy Plateau" and "Two," and channeled his best Jerry Garcia (Adams even referenced the classic Grateful Dead album Terrapin Station). Hopped up on caffeine (a venti Starbucks iced coffee followed by several cans of Diet Coke), and feeling the love and excitement in the room, Adams started to loosen up, joking in between songs (before taking a bathroom break, he announced, "I don’t want to pull a Fergie"), deriding the songwriting skills of Jon Bon Jovi (Adams took issue with the "Like Frankie said, 'I did it my way'" line in "It's My Life"), and obliging some downright silly questions from the audience (If he could have any superpower, what would it be? Invisibility, so he could shop in the metal section of a record store undisturbed). And as the evening went on, his quirky behavior, which included barking like a dog every 20 minutes and lampooning his sobriety (" You can take away the booze, but you can’t take away the crazy," he snickered), remained endearing. A good laugh to be had by all. That was until it came time to play "Let it Ride." No more than 45 seconds into the song, Adams stopped abruptly, then yelled into his microphone, "Turn the lights down or I swear I'm gonna leave... I don't feel comfortable!" Indeed, when the demand wasn't met instantly, Adams stormed off, leaving guitarist Neil Casal to apologize to the crowd and thank them for coming. But as fans began to make their exit, word trickled down that Adams was coming back to finish up the show. And upon taking their seats again, they were greeted with an explanation: Adams simply wanted a cigarette... right at that very second. While the incident prompted Yahoo to issue a statement the following day, explaining that he did finish his set and all was good, it really wasn’t necessary. Truthfully, this crowd didn't mind. After all, what's rock 'n' roll without a little residual anger? And what's a Ryan Adams show without a mild temper tantrum? Would we have him any other way?

Mr. Photogeek Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I thought this quote was interesting (kinda funny too)...lets hope its true!Think about falling off a bicycle and smashing your nuts on that bar, or the most horrible sports accident you can think of," he continued. "That doesn't cover what it would be like for me to imagine drinking or doing drugs again.I read it in NME, but I think its from a Rolling Stone interview...
