  • This is a great interview, very insightful into RA, the man...

  • great songwriter, shitty haircut

  • I wish Elton John was my fairy godmother

  • "and they should probably stop smoking so much pot"

    hahaha what a great man

  • I can't stand it when people start comparing artists, like "he isn't as good as so-and-so". It's ridiculous. Ryan Adams stands as an extremely proific song writer, the end. Of course he isn't going to be like so-and-so...he wasn't around to sing during the 60s and 70s, and unfortunately many people have a hard time moving past music they are comfortable with and discovering new things. Open your ears and don't be afraid to try new things.

  • Couldn't give a fuck how many drugs he does or doesn't take, it won't make him Gram Parsons, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan or any of the other far more talented artists he so desperately craves to be.

  • @BooNube you must be from someplace lame.. you truly just dont get it.. if you were in tune at all you would see that ryan is already far better than that pyle of names you put up there. ryan craves alright, he craves whatever he wants to do, and does it and moves on.. that is a true artist. but you keep listenen to those old records and ill keep getting bless with the new and evolving more interesting stuff buddy..

  • @Gilly3773 We are the past. Deal with it. If you think there'd be a Ryan Adams if the names I mentioned hadn't come first, you need to bone up on your music history.

  • @BooNube you don't have the first clue what you're talking about........

  • @neilfan1971 Well, by all means explain.

  • @BooNube it would'nt matter..........you wouldn't comprehend. Go do something constructive.

  • @neilfan1971 So in other words, you're incapable of a constructing a cohesive argument and have no point to make. Much like your idol's music.

  • @BooNube  LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

  • maybe hes stoned but he seems gay in this interview. cute though

  • @smurfxxx marrried to mandy moore, must not be to gay

  • @smurfxxx As a gay guy, I can assure you, he's not queer, dear. lol Probably a little buzzed, probably a little stoned.

  • What did he say?? if I was a girl I'd definitely.... ??? I didn't get the last word

  • someone thought is was weird because i am a 16 year old girl and loooove Ryan Adams.

    the person was a "belieber" so i take no fucking offense.

  • @SoWrongItsAbbey182 well im 14 and ive loved ryan for years haha fuck beliebers! lol ;D

  • @Gabanti79XxBilliam85 fuck yeah!

  • @SoWrongItsAbbey182 hahaha i dont see why he(justin) is so special...my 3 year old cousin sounds just like him hahaha Ryan Adams is the best xD lol

  • @Gabanti79XxBilliam85 Yes he is!

  • ....and he wearing a Bathory shirt......that's one cool dude!

  • petermacinnis(dot)bandcamp(dot­)com Free download of songs like this ish. hope you enjoy

  • whats with the interviewers laugh? what a goonie

  • I want his shoes!

  • marry me?

  • @polishlady94 Wow... i've been asking that same thing... not that hard to figure out why, haha

  • @ceanton you're an idiot. this is RYAN adams. not BRYAN.

  • My name is ryan adams  : D

  • Play summer of 69!

  • @ceanton you're an idiot. this is RYAN adams. not BRYAN.

  • @ceanton .... that's bryan adams.

  • I play this clip to anyone who says "Summer of 69 guy?" when I say Ryan Adams.

  • I love his grandparents explanation. granpas & gramas rock. Th good ones anyways. I'm glad he had that support , look who is is now=)

  • I don;t really like him and Mandy Moore together

  • hahaha "it never rained breasts on me" !!!!

  • I like boots

  • ryan is the man. a bamf foe sure lol

  • Great interview...and I love Ryan Adams. I wasn't a fan of the camerawork in come cases. Do I care about a cigarette butt on a saucer? No.

  • ryan and the interview when and smoked a joint before the interview for sure because he is laughing at EVERYTHING, and that is soo cool

  • Mandy Moore who love him !!!

  • jeeeshh, stupid shots... bothered me :D

    Ryan is funny...and great!

  • what's with the bootsoleshots?...

  • "The book shouldn't say 'crack' or 'rusty needle'..."!!! I adore him!

  • I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!! LOL

  • God bless New Zealand! God bless Ryan! :D

  • Good interview. I feel like the interviewer did a good job getting Adams to open up and allow the conversation to be more natural.

  • "and if i was a girl i'd definitely go"

    funny quote

  • @Liamisamom lol. I agree.

  • denim jacket and denim pants. hum. don't like the combo. but ryan can get away with anything, he's so wonderful!

  • The Texas Tuxedo! ha! Yeah, it only works on Ryan.

  • Does anyone know what song is playing at around 45 seconds? I've tried to look it up and can't find it.

  • answering bell

  • Thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • Hes a genious. thats how.

  • "it was never raining breasts on me." classic.

  • delicate things needs to relax. work on your personality. i didnt have to research the fact you have an awful one

  • He is high!

  • Ryan Adams is actually kind of a prick. I met him at a Folk Fest and he was difficult, as were his roadies and band. I lost a lot of respect for him actually.

  • When you are more talented than anyone else, you are allowed to be a prick. Sorry fact of life.

  • Absolutely. If you don't like a person's creative force, get out of the way.

    You must take more good with more bad.

  • thats a real shame. thats my only fear of going to a concert, that these people who shape my life so much and music just has such a huge impact on me i'd hate to know that people i looked up to were really people who didnt seem to appreciate it. And werent actually v nice people. not commenting on Ryan as ive never met him.

  • that would be a New Zealand interviewer and no because he is very much married with children.

  • he has the widest smile I've ever seen, love it =)

  • Mandy Moore got a great catch, and vice versa. Ryan is a very lovable guy, I know I love his songs and you have to love the person who wrote them....I still love my husband but I secretly have a crush on Ryan.

  • "if you were a girl, we'd definitely be going on a date later." - "and if i was a girl, i'd definitely go!"

    :-)

  • oh god, who wouldn't! sigh... divorce mandeee and marry me!

  • I love Ryan Adams, he has the most beautiful voice.

  • You dont have to be on drugs to be a charismatic guy.

  • Actually, Ryan has been completly clean and sober for a few years now. He doesn't even smoke as of this year.

  • I LOVE RYAN ADAMS !!!! :) Brilliant Guy!!

  • "It never rained breasts" - that comment is so funny

  • that look he gives at the end of the answering bell video is so cute, it makes me grin like a prat :)

  • omg lol omg lol lol lol

  • this isent even the guy who ur talkin about lol

  • hmmmm. Are you for real?

  • Dude your so funny! how did you ever come up with that one? so original!

    and thanks for turning ryan into a punchline, one of the main causes of his retirement from music.

  • I think a lot of girls wouldn't mind dating him because A) He can write a good love tune and B) He's a bit of an enigma. I wouldn't venture to say he's ugly in any way, but he has his own look. His music is what makes him really beautiful though. You can't have one without the other! :)

  • By the way.. is that all you see when it comes to singers and musicians? Did you even fathom to wonder, why he was even being interviewed? I mean are you for real? I'm not trying to be mean, but .. are standards for music these days really that low?

  • i don't like this guy to be with mandy moore... they're too opposite for me

  • They're not that opposite really. Mandy Moore has matured a lot in her music and her look, and she seems very much the girl next door type that falls for the folky heartbroken guy. They both have similiar appreciation for western and americana culture.

  • what i mean,,, look at mandy moore.. she's a girl next door and look at this man, look so weird and dress-up untidy. Anyway love is unexplainable tho. lols

  • You're obviously not familiar with Ryan Adams, who makes twangy western tunes that many American girls listen to. Work on your spelling and do a little research before you "lols".

  • I love this man. He was the guy that made me stop lisning to shit like Britney, whatever her name is and Avril "I think I'm a punk" Lavigne. I love you, Ryan. You changed me!

  • it must have been the most life changing experiance to start listening to Ryan after abusing your ears with shit like avril lavigne

  • Haha. Yes, yes it was!

  • Love is Hell consumed me for about a year and still makes my skin crawl to this day. His music has just a little of everything in it. So much that you can go without listening to much else for a while.

  • I love it! He's hilarious..

  • The Cardinals are the best band i've ever seen live. And I've seen Bob Dylan, along with many many other.

    Ryan and The Cardinals, are my life.

  • oh so this is mandy's bf. cool!

  • I'm going to see him for my birthday! I can't wait.

  • I'm super jealous of you 'cuz this is one of the people I need to see before I die-and he's been in the vicinity lately but it wasn't accessible-happy birthday! let me know how the show was!

  • I forsure will tell you how it goes! I'm so excited. I hope you get to see him as well.

  • petite feet, feminine step.

  • Ryan Adams has small feet...just saying

  • He's a wee little man. A petite flower, if you will.

  • I love Ryan Adams. I was also worried what his recreational drug use would do to him. He is such a genius. I love his songs and poetry. Would love to meet him....

  • Sufjan it was on the night he was doing his 1st Auckland show so you were probably at the venue? I couldnt go to see him last visit but i'm sooooooo rapt cos we can see him feb 09 back in NZ. Plan to travel to both shows as he is legend!!

  • is he wearing a dio tshirt? i've seen him wearing a few metal tshirts before, what a legend!

  • the interviewer's sparkly laugh cracked me up! ryan was the best part, though. such a sweetie he is...

  • it's john campbell he's funny:-)

  • oh, john...

  • hopefully he interviews him again when ryan is in nz in feb...maybe they can go on that date haha

  • L:OL wat the hell? I live in New Zealand and I'm a huge Ryan Adams fan! I missed this interview tho?!

  • This is a nice interview, Ryan has a good sense of humor. The only thing that bothered me about him in the past was that in the back of my mind I was concerned about what his alleged drug use would do to him. He has so much talent and love for music, I'm glad he got off the junk, and now I don't have to worry about him overdosing at a young age. Keep pumping out the music Ryan!!

  • He speaks and act artistically..Rare individual..

  • you know, i may be slightly biased as ryan adams is my favourite artist of all time but how awesome is he!

  • This is by far the best Ryan Adams interview I have seen!

  • lol... he's pretty funny

  • the music video? it's answering bell

  • The first song in this, what is it called? I really want it!!

  • Answering bell.

  • L.O.R.D.

  • you know, i don't know. You know? yeah?. Too cool for school.

  • LOL. I'm loving the mild flirtation going on in this interview.

  • he is a genius,his music is not original at alk,and i need to acept it,but he makes way better music than other commercial artists...

    and i rather one ryan adams than a jonas brothers,,,

  • right on

  • well offense or anything but how is he unoriginal? It doesn't matter what artist you listen to, u can always here some of there influences. i mean if that was considered unoriginal, there would be no such thing as the blues, and clapton wud be pretty much uheard of

  • Agree with you fully. Everybody sounds like somebody...Hell the Beatles copied off of many other bands...Everybody does it. Shakespeare stole the idea for many stories from other stories...Thats just the way it is. Being original is taking your influences and expanding on them. Which he completely does.

  • the beatles didn't COPY anyone fool. big difference between being influenced and trying experimenting based on things you hear other people doing and just taking it outright. cite one example of the beatles doing that? don't just throw crap out there like you are a music authority. it is simply not true that they copied people.

  • Follow your own advice fella...Who made you the authority? And how the piss do you know that's not what I meant. Don't think because you're not a complete moron that you can't be wrong.

  • he looks a lot like the bassist from the Spinto Band...just an observation:-)

  • Reedmylips7

    This is Ryan Adams, not Bryan Adams....When was the last time you bought a record?????89???

  • lol

  • you're a d-bag. ryan adams is completely different than bryan

  • what a terrible comparison. not even funny.

  • The sooner everyone ignores ths stupid "Summer of '69" comments, the better for everyone.

  • Ok. I'm still alittle obsessed with him! RYAN ROCKS! WELL, ATLEAST HIS MUSIC DOES!

    Billy Anne Crews

  • YAH!! JOHN CAMPBELL!! GO NZ!

  • That's one of the greatest quotes of all time.

    " It never rained breast's on me " - Ryan Adams.

  • aww what a charmer

  • Anyone know when the new box set is coming out? I'm tired of waiting

  • "and if I was a girl I'd definitely gooo"

    LOLZ

  • fuck the interview, let's go.

  • the interviewer is such a suck up dipshit

  • Is he wearing a Bathory hoodie?

  • I interviewed him and he never bloody asked me on a date! ;-)

  • I like his carefree nature. He seems really relaxed in his own skin. He could be your next door neighbor...but still a bit odd...the weird neighbor? yeah!

  • It's the booze. It'll do that for you.  Nothin' better then going through life with a golden voice, touring the world, and being stoned out of your mind all the time. I can't recommend it enough!

  • I fucking worship him. Look at those boots. Oh my god I want him so bad.

  • Sir Elton as the Fairy, imagine that :)

  • you can tell he gets horrific nerves in things like interviews but I just think there is something so hugely compelling about him that you can't help but like and admire him....

    Not only is he beautiful on the outside he has the intense honesty and seems to be beautiful on the inside too -

  • What is the year of this interview?

  • last year when he toured here in august omg hes funny

  • great interview! boy, that man is so lovely

  • omg he's hot! :D

  • He's very very funny! I'd like him so much! Even love :D

  • " It wouldn't sound good in the book."

    lol The guy is clever and funny. One of my favorite artists.

  • I'd interview him so hard...

  • whats the song that plays first? the ryan song???

  • It was "Answering Bell" from the Gold album.

  • dude, i just wanna kiss him. one quick little nice plant on the lips.

  • lol they should probably stop smoking so much pot

  • the interviwer loves him - and why not ?

  • 'it never rained breasts on me'

    i love it lmao

  • best interview i've seen of ryan.  thanks for posting.

  • Good stuff, the guy is a legend!!

  • great interview...love his sense of humor. and his shy, fidgitiness...how fumnny.

  • thanks for posting!!i went to my first ryan adams show in portland maine the other day and he was a bit upset(maybe more than a bit) with the sound and perhaps the audience. he did sound wonderful and although it was short, i left a lifetime fan. very very gifted man.

  • Thanks so much for posting this!

  • Great vid! where can I find the videos from the show they are talking about?

  • finally! an interview online!! i have been searching for a while and this time i found when i wasnt even searching! nice one... more please!!
