Tell him to take a shower, I’m listening to the new NIN disc, and not interested.

I love Adams and am so glad to hear the word “stunning” mentioned alongside Easy Tiger. Now if he’d only do a real tour.

Year Zero sucks, War. You are another mindless drone who will listen to whatever is presented to you by a spoiled rich rocker. Get a life.

Thank god he may be moving away from the Grateful dead jones thing. We can only hope the live shows will follow suit.

love that ”i’m giving myself the in thinking hard and smoking look” on the picture is really lame.

you lamoid.

his album ‘rock n roll’ ain’t half bad, either.

So now we know RS’s taste. Good luck with selling this issue. How much schwag did his record company send you guys to promote another lacklustre cd? Ryan Adams = BORING!

Cold Roses is an excellent start if you are not familiar with his work. 5 stars, good stuff.

Man, I can’t wait for his new one. He just keeps getting better and better. This adds to all the other new stuff I have to own, (next to the new Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes,Wilco, etc.)

Elliot Smith is dead, plus Adams alternately interests me and repulses me

This guy annoys me! Pompus bastard .. listen to a Todd Snider record you’ll never listen to this guy again!

“Goodnight Rose” starts out like a loveletter to “China Cat Sunflower” so I don’t undertand the “moving away from the Dead” criticism. Anyway, I love Ryan’s music-looking forward to this one.

Ryan is very talented, despite the detractors. Heartbreaker is a classic, which will be around for many years after the rest of these bozos have faded into the great nothingness. I eagerly await my very own copy of Easy Tiger.

Loved “Hertbreaker” and “Gold”…but not much after that. Hope this is a return to that type of album.

I think it was Jimbo Jones from the Simpsons who said, “The whole thing reeks of effort, man.”

That is Ryan Adams in a nutshell. Punk? nope. Dylan? He wishes. Gram Parsons? He had the decency to OD at 27.

Anybody who flips out after being called Bryan Adams has no sense of humour, which makes him pompass.

I am not even a dead fan, but to say that Adams’ time under the influence of the Grateful Dead was a departure from the “delicate tradegies of life and love” is, well boorish…

what a shock. RS loves the new ryan adams cd. add him to the list of artists who can do no wrong. i wouldn’t be surprised to find out that a five star review of the new white stripes cd has already been written whether anyone at the magazine has heard it yet or not.

This kid couldn’t hold Elliott Smith’s jock.

Ryan Adams is a cliche. Elliott lived turmoil, and it was real, and you can FEEL it.

please note that the misspelling of “pompous” as “pompass” was completely intentional.

Elliott Smith was a thousand miles beyond this guy.

Bryan owns you

He’s good. get used to it. move on. if this was the sixies or seventies he’s be a genius…now he’s called a hack and a rip-off artist (and how many legendary people, including dylan, were influenced (and in dylan and grateful dead’s case stole) others music). they are still legends because they borrowed and offered more. that’s the way music works…elliot smith is good, todd snider is good, white stripes are good, ryan adams is good…leave him alone and go wack off to your indie cred. meanwhile I’m going to be taking in another great album

elliott smith was so indie that he stabbed himself in the chest. how arty. ryan adams lives to record 1,003 records in about a year. good for him. if you don’t like ‘em, don’t buy ‘em. go home and put on your elliott smith records and dream of artsy fartsy ways of offing yourself. muuuuuch better than living and trying to be a better person and musician.

I agree with everyone saying this guy blows compared to Elliott.

Ryan Adams is just so boring.

Elliott Smith fell off the talent wagon after Either/Or, and his lyrics were never very good… am I the only one who will admit this?

Elliott’s The Beatles, Ryan’s the Stones.. no need to compare.

Two moronic posters who can’t even spell pompous.

I lost interest in this guy when he came out with the single, “The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me is You.” Saw him with Def Leppard two summers ago at the Dayton Dragons ball field and he was still milking “Summer of 69″ for all it was worth. Go back to Canada already.

Worst boyfriend ever.

Stu Stewart is that guy who yells “Freebird” at concerts. Find some new material pal.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Stu Stewart is NOT being ironic…

why dont you call me and we will talk baby/girl

850-712-3889

What’s wrong with you people? Ryan Adams is a genius, especially in this day. Would you rather them talk about Green Day?

uh, elliott smith’s lyrics were pure poetry–take a look at “king’s crossing” for example.
ryan wears his influences on his sleeve, nothing wrong with that.
i think he rips himself off as much as he does anyone else. “two” =”harder now that it’s over”(but “rip off” makes up for it, gorgeous)–nice album pic tho–sober looks good on him.

He’s good. Real good. I love him.

Can’t wait to pick it up…Adam’s always makes some great music

so ryan hasn’t OD’d yet? that’s bloody cool.

Ryan Adams is the best all around artist out there today. Hands down.

All of you haters – Go pick up another Fall Out Boy album.

Elliott was a god, Ryan a mere mortal–it is insane to compare the two.
Ryan’s only foul is that he is obviusly trying too hard for mainstream success on this one.
I like him better when he doesn’t give a sh*t.

ill kill u bitch!

This one is for the .org: “Ryan is mythological to me–like Zeus”

I hate you guys.

Hey, that’s my catch phrase!???!

Shut up fat ass

This all makes me laugh…the real review will be done and it will be 3.5 stars like most of his albums. There will be the obligitory comment about his prolificacy, how two songs with the word two in their title is two too many, blah blah blah. Ryan is a great songwriter, its pretty hard to deny that at this point, but if this record sells 500,000 I will be shocked and a little dismayed. His shows are already full of fratboys, I can’t even imagine how bad it will be if this record somehow gets big.

Nathan…what do you consider a real tour? RATC played more than 100 shows last year without an album to tour behind. I predict a few shed shows with Phil here and there, and a pretty extensive tour as well. We’ll see…

I think I finally found the real killer…its Phil Spector.

wow…some of you people really need to find some friends, and quick. I always love it when people who have never done anything with their lives put down people who are. It reminds me of high school when all the losers would get together and gossip about how much they hate the popular kids when in reality they would die to be popular.

So to sum things up, I am calling people calling out Ryan Adams, Elliot Smith, and Gram Parsons losers.

Will you be my friend?

The thing that has always troubled me about this guy … how old could he possibly have been back in the “Summer of ‘69?” Two??

Ryan makes great music, so did Elliott Smith. they can co-exist in all your little hipster worlds. if you don’t like the music-don’t buy it-it’s prety simple really….

he didnt write “summer of 69″ that was BRYAN adams dumbass!

His lack of a “real tour” is why I’m seeing him next Wednesday in a tiny theater in Kingston, NY.

I’m pretty sure he DID write Summer of 69.

Thats why he kicked that guy out of his show a few years back. I’m sure he’s sick of playing it all these years. He wants to focus on his new material (Like this album, Take It Easy Tiger)

That tune and Cuts Like a Knife=way overplayed. Glad you are moving on Ryan Adams

Gene Simmons used his huge tongue on Tim Simmons mom. She liked it.

RYAN Adams is not BRYAN Adams. (And thank god for that….)

PS: Learn to read.

The whole Bryan Adams, “summer of ‘69″ references really need to stop. It’s really old and pathetic.

As for people complaining about a “real tour,” what do you mean by a real tour? Judging by last year alone it seems like that’s the only thing that man did.

I’ve been a Ryan Adams fan for years, and am always excited when he releases an album…you don’t know what to expect. Yes, not all of it is great, Rock N Roll being the prime example. But even Dylan himself is guilty of releasing albums that weren’t up to par with his previous work.

I think it’s sad to judge an artist by just one album or by the fact that he chooses to defend himself when some prick in his audience decides to be a ass and yell ridiculousness at Ryan while he’s trying to perform. I’ve been present at some of those “incidents” and as a true fan who’s there for the music, nothing upsets me more. It’s distracting and annoying!

I think Ryan is an incredible artist with incredible talent, one of the best of his generation. It’s sad that only a select few have come to realize that. I hope the people who purchase Easy Tiger, listen to it with an open mind and appreiciates it for what it is; music!

If that’s not a tour, I don’t know what is!

Go Halloweenheads!!!!!

Jill, you are old and pathetic and take yourself and this whole ryan adams thing way too seriously.

Anonymous fan: Really? He’s not? The failure to appreciate irony is the surest sign of vapidness.

Zeppelin: Your name says it all. Were I you, I wouldn’t call anyone any names that in anyway touch on intelligence. Tool.

This album makes me want to sit in my basement – pants round ankles, cig in mouth. Rea;;y.

Cold Roses and Jacksonville City Nights kick heartbreakers arse!!! and so does gold!! But if this album tops its all then ill be happy.

Adams music has meant so much to me. I will be first in line to pick up Easy Tiger. The guy is a genius and way ahead of his time.

Ryan Adams & the Cardinals made a great performance on the Henry Rollins Show a few weeks ago on IFC. That song they played sounded like it was teleported from a lost Neil Young record from the 1970s. It made the hair stand up on my arms. That’s a good thing.

for all the records ryan adams has put out, he still won’t come close to writing a tune like “Summer of’69″
i’ll take bryan over ryan any day of the week.

white power.

Most of the people who comment must be pathetic individuals.

Ryan Adams is the best artist out today. That man is a GENIUS. But why would I argue with people who probably think that My Chemical Romance is better than the Beatles.

truly fantastic artist. Great to be around for this guy’s career. A true great. I put him up there with all the great folk/rock/country/songwriting legends.

if i rub the genius bottle could i git three wishes?

don’t worry Mark nobody’ better than the Beatles not even Jesus

Okay, first of all, Yuri Zhivago, M.D., your sense of irony and humor must be rather poorly developed if you honestly think your poor Bryan Adams joke was worthy of even an obligatory chuckle. That joke is so old it’s not even worth remembering, and if you were making it as a quasi-ironic joke about the overuse of the joke, well, it still isn’t funny. Granted, zeppelin’s response was retarded, but still, do better. What is stupid about zeppelin’s name? Second, what is up with the Elliott Smith comparisons? A) they sound nothing alike b) neither ever claimed to be better than the other c) smith is dead and d) is it really ryan’s fault that he wasn’t as f***ed up as elliott? i mean, thank god he didnt “live the turmoil” of elliott smith…I imagine Elliott Smith would have rather written less heartrendingly depressing music if he could have been less heartrendingly depressing. People who say things like “Elliott Smith was a god, Ryan Adams a mere mortal”- here is what I have to say: ………………..? okay? Thank you for defining that for us. Now get a life. God I hate indie snobs.

Ryan Adams is a brilliant artist. This man can experiment with different genres of music and make it look like he’s been doing it for decades. An amazing songwriter, his lyrics alone in 29 made for beautiful storytelling. I still can’t believe the horrid reviews that album recieved. But, maybe one day those people who knocked it down and knock the artist down will one day see waht a genius he is.

THIS MAN WILL BE A LEGEND!

if he is good enugh to be on the old school soundtrack then he deserves to make millions. but Sufjan Stevens is where its at all of you. and yes dont criticize my opinion and say i must be a 14 year old or anything because in fact i am 14.

don’t worry Hater you’ll grow out of this phase

Can’t wait for the new album. He’s kind of amazing.

Jeff Tweedy and Wilco are just far better, sorry. Better songs, less fat. Best thing Adams ever did was produce Jesse Malin’s first record. Its my opininon that this is a fact.

He was awesome on the Robin Hood soundtrack.

Ryan is one of the best songwriters out there. I love Gold and Demolition. Their sound is great. Maybe he should edit more and not release everything because he has some lame songs out there, but Im always glad when he has a new album out.

Everyone on here that thinks Elliott Smith is better than Ryan Adams needs to use the handy tool of youtube.com listen to elliott smith live, then you go listen to Ryan Adams live. That will give you the answer of who’s better. Ryan Adams will come out on top.

Of course, it’s riduculous to call Jeff Tweedy and Wilco a better singer/songwriter rather than Ryan. As mentioned before, he will be a legend!

ok, so he acts like a baby from time to time, he’s arrogant, and he may take himself a little too seriously. however, give credit where credit’s due. other than dylan this guy’s the best songwriter alive. oh yea, and if you don’t like gram parsons you need to take a long, hard look at YOURSELF f*ckface.

Ryan Adams is a brilliant songwriter, musician, and vocalist. Some critics complain that he releases too many albums, but didn’t musicians back in the 60’s do the same. I really don’t understand what could be so wrong with that. I think it’s great!

As for people saying that he needs an editor…wtf! I think if Ryan, or any artist for that matter is content with the final product, then that’s how it should be released. It’s their expression, not ours.

I have a feeling that Easy Tiger is going to be another great piece of work from Mr. Adams. This man hasn’t let me down once.

I saw Ryan and the Cards last night in Morgantown, WV. His voice sounded great, but he wasn’t playing the guitar due to a skateboarding accident. I don’t care who likes him, doesn’t like him, who agrees with his release of material- or who doesn’t, how many shows you think he should play….screw all that. I love his work, and his shows. Artists are not here to please everyone. If you dig him cool, if not…find someone else to dig. It’s a big world!

It’s funny, I hate WAR and also NIN. LOL!

Ryan Adams Rock On! A real tour, anybody on this list ever toured before? You can’t tour unless you have an album to support!

If Ryan Adams had gone on a “REAL TOUR” there is no way that he would have played in Morgantown, WV. Great concert, great songs! I cannot wait for the new album. If those songs sound half as good on record as they did Thursday night…I’ll be a very happy girl.

excql ymqjkfeb vmao mzstcj lnxsuycv sfxqceb dhspcnoy

His music grabs hold of you like tree branches to power lines… so be prepared when you put it in..because you might not ever come back. So glad he hit morgantown WV (my hometown).. it was like karma finally paid off… cant wait to see him in philly and in Denver.. anyone know who this mysterious headliner will be?

Oh my gosh, could RA be any radder? I don’t think so. He skateboards? I mean I’m really sorry he got hurt, but I’ve always had a thing for skateboarders and now this is just too much. Bottom line- he’s a beautiful genius and his music makes my world a better place. I don’t know why there’s so much controversy over him, I think he’s so rad. =)

I agree with Elton John’s comparison of Ryan with Neil Young, whose music I’ve been in love with since 1970. No one else has touched me musically like that except, FINALLY, Ryan Adams! (well, maybe Jeff Buckley, but he’s gone and Ryan rocks on). This hot sh*t never disappoints me, on disc, live or otherwise. If I wasn’t nearly old enough to be his mother, I’d try to steal or at least borrow him from Parker…but, thatz a whole other thing (ez tiger…)

Love IS Hell…and Ryan, babe, i couldn’t have said it better myself.

Ryan Adams is pushing music into places where music has never been before. In between rock, Stoner rock (at times), country, and blues. My only hope is that someday others will realize how great he actually is

I tried to like Ryan Adams. I really did. However that “Gold” album was tiresome. Maybe he’s improved since then, but that comparison to Neil Young? I love Neil’s music but I don’t see anything to write home about in Adams. Neil is a down to earth guy. Adams is a crybaby.

I think Ryan is one of the best things in many years in R&R, his music his very honest and with passion that i havent seen in other artist in recent years, i belive he’s carry on with the tradition and the heart of american music like Dylan, Springsteen and so on…

I can’t understand what all the fuss is about. I really like Ryan Adams, especially the song he did with Sting and Rod Stewart. Very good! I don’t think he sounds a thing like me, though.

I meant to get in to a bryan adams web site to get tickets and stumbled across Ryan adams? Bryan is a rock legend. Who the f%^&k is Ryan Adams? Change your f^&king name if ya don’t like the B.A requests at your concerts.

Surely that first post re the Bryan Adams thing, is just a fake post by Rolling Stone to get the comments coming in.
