Potent Quotables: Adams on the Offensive


"I mean, really, does anyone want to sit through a show by the Killers?"
--Ryan Adams

After accusing the Vegas quartet of being fame-seekers, Adams posed this scathing question.

Well, I've at least heard of the Killers. So if given the choice of who to watch I'd have to take the Killers. Sorry whoever you are.

I would rather sit through a Killers show than a Ryan
Adams show because I've never heard of Ryan Adams....Bryan Adams yes...Ryan Adams no. Is Bryan Ryans father? Or is Ryan just trying to fool us into thinking he's Bryan Adams?

I can't believe I got sucked into this one.
Who are the killers? Who is Ryan Adams? Does Bryan Adams still sing songs about his misspent youth?

Ryan Adams was originally in the band Whiskeytown, and has received acclaim with his solo recordings (check out Gold, a great disc)and collaborations with many. He is currently touring with his new band, the Cardinals.

Bryan Adams' FATHER? That would be an accomplishment seeing that he's 15 years younger than Bryan to the day...they share the same birthdate...

Ryan Adams: North Carolina born singer songwriter. First came to prominence in the alt/country band "Whiskeytown" Put out 3 critically acclaimed records with them in the mid-90s. He has since put out several quality solo CDs.

For anyone who doesn't know of his music (all of you) you can occasionally find it at Target or Best Buy.

Check him out... He's better than the An*s Brothers.

As for the Killers. I like "Read My Mind" but that's about it.
