We love Ryan Adams because he’s a consummate rock geek trapped in the life of an alt-country troubadour. The guy has released eight albums (not including Easy Tiger, out June 26th) filled with delicate, lonesome country ballads and down home jams but when he’s rambling wasted at four in the morning on his blog or fucking around after hours in the recording studio, it’s his love for hardcore, punk, and metal that emerges. Check out the deep cuts on this list of Adams’ top five hair metal songs, which he has posted on his MySpace page. Here are his picks:
1. Kix - “Don’t Close Your Eyes”
2. Slaughter - “Fly To The Angels”
3. Dokken - “Dream Warriors” (From the Nightmare on Elm Street III Motion Picture Soundtrack)
4. Vinne Vincent Invsion [sic] (With Mark Slaughter of Slaughter on Vocals) - “Love Kills”
5. Ozzy Osbourne - “Over The Mountain”
We’d nominate Cinderella’s “Shelter Me” or White Snake’s “Here I Go Again.” Any additions?
Also, make a note of Adams’ recently announced June tour dates.
