Thanks for playing, "Hello,Pot...This Is Kettle..."
It's Bryan Adams...Bryan Adams is the answer we were looking for, not Brain Adams...no, no, sorry sweetheart...you're not going home empty handed though...we do have some nice parting gifts for you...a spell checker, a guide to 80's pop singers from Canada, and a copy of my new book..."How To Insult Someone On A Message Board Without Looking Like A Total Idiot!"

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.

Thank you. And for the record, the Killers put on a phenomenal show. Staging, pyrotechnics, and performance-wise, to say they blew me out of the water would be an understatement. Also, I used to HATE the Killers but then they suddenly grew on me, so don't think I'm just a mindless fan who adores everything they do. I used to think they were tasteless but they've really grown on me and I think they are true artists.

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?
timjofredat 12-02-2008
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?

Who the hell is Ryan Adams??

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.
