Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda Jamn. Singer Ryan Adams not to be confused
with Brian Adams. He's a Ryan with a b Ryan
Adams has been on our Shores and there's been some
controversy around it. I like Ryan Adams. Here's some of
his music Boom Starscar.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
He's right in your wheel. He really is me not
so much. I've never liked him day one.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I never liked him day one. He never liked him.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
He did wonder all that was good?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Do d he was going to bed. But well, he's
been doing a concert series in Australia and his behavior
became increasingly erratic, to the point where he's kind of
worrying concert goers. It ended with him, well what he
was doing. He'd get halfway through a song, they he'd
have a ranted an usher. He'd get into a song
and say, sorry, that's crap. He just seemed his mind

(00:53):
seemed to wander. He'd ran about ex girlfriends even much.
Even fans who love him a lot really struggled to
stick with him through this. Have listened to one of
his rants.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
You and you and you can stand out in five
person quietly and your business that's it. Oh wow, that's
him yelling at the usher.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
But it sounds so as.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
The beef sounds so aggressive. Well, he's He's now deleted
a post that that he posted as he left Australia.
He described Australia as quote the worst country ever every time,
every time to play the worst thank f never again.
You are the worst people, and you know it. And
the best you can go is copy Americans in UK culture,
it's chewing your own juices. He's now deleted that with

(01:54):
some of the professional advice, I'm sure. And now by
way of apology, he's saying, I reacted to a troll
who repeatedly harassed myself and others in Sydney. It's a
beautiful show. I was wrong, et cetera, et cetera, but
Australia will never forgive him. I don't think you know,
perform badly and yell at the audience, what and then

(02:15):
trollius on the way out? What's not to love?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, he's uh, well, maybe he was tired. But that's
a long flight.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's a lot, but it's maybe it's the end of
a long world tour. I don't know, but he did.
People were saying he seemed tired. He said he was unwell.
He had a cold, but that's no one's fault. If
you're a if you're a good performer, you rise above
that or you cancel the show. You don't do this.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's hard being a performer, very hard with.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
The full monty and you had your issues.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Finally I walked off stage. Then no, there was it's hard.
I remember seeing the Church, you know, the band of
the church.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
The Church.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I went and that was one of the greatest concerts
I've ever seen. And I talked everyone into going to
see the churches, going out and see the church. You
love this, you love this went along and they were dreadful,
one hand fantastic A month later, worst show ever.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
I went a few times to see Rodriguez. Remember Rodrig's
a wonder. I loved him. First show, brilliant. A few
years later I went to see him again. And if
you've seen the documentary, which is extraordinary, Searching for the Sugarman, extraordinary.
You know that he's sort of an alcoholic who who's
finding it? You know that he's been propped up to perform.
That's the impression I got the second time, sort of

(03:22):
escorted on stage, escorted off like Frankie Valley, Yes, it
made me feel a little uncomfortable. First time great, second
time I went mm yeah
