ADAMS - CUTS LIKE A KNIFE ACOUSTIC FROM LIVE AT ABBEY RD - 2008

[emwolbemwolb]

Fantastic version recorded at one of the most famous recording studios EVAH!....ROCK ON! CHEERS

[colintwix]

This man is one of the most underrated artists in the world. He tours endlessly and writes some fantastic songs. I have seen him live twice and would recommend him to anybody who appreciates real music and a real performance.

[Bgould62]

Fugin Rock On Dude ,Man and his Guitar!

[jeffboyce1]

Beautiful version of one of my favorite songs of the early 80s. Loved the video - keep going Bryan!

[dww56]

3rd degree burns ? Drugs an alcohol ? Check it Yo , this is plain and simple the sad results of adolescent acne ! ( zits ) There's always a kid in every crowd with this condition ( PIZZA FACE ) ! Then when the zits go away with age the scars that are left behind are referred to as craters , hence the new name CRATER FACE !!! I hope this info was helpful ! Later

[katarinam1970]

@dww56 you are a crater face how dare you insult a legend

[innosceteipsum]

@katarinam1970 I agree with you man, what type of douche writes that unless they are working for clearasil.

[texasmichelle]

@dww56 whoa! and you felt you needed to point this out, why?

[texasmichelle]

@texasmichelle this isn't a medical or dermatology website.

[CMonte420]

Why does Bryan look like he has suffered 3rd degree facial burns? lol

[nzoasisfan]

@CMonte420 cocaine and booze my man

[SamuraiCX]

I saw this on sundance channel when this aired! Very nice! Studio jams are epic!

[leesmartin]

Awesome stuff.Shame he's not doing his acoustic gigs here in South Australia

[sonalkapoor31]

KILLLLLEERRRRRR!

[ponoWR2]

damn, bryan's still got it!

[kataishin]

I dedicate this to, well you know who you are...

[ShaneIrwinPhoto]

One of the best voices in music ever. Straight up acoustic guitar and vocal. You show em Bryan!

[pastelwwf]

319,407 ?? why are they showing just my views?

[csm1900]

Wow! he is best in acoustic...

[FANMUSICfulY]

GRANDIOSO BRYAN ADAMS, POR SIEMPRE

[pdspublishing]

Great wheres heaven from abbey road ??? That was alaso great?? Please post??

[dwwilliams72]

Excellent!!! Though I do like others, in my opinion, this is his best song. Acoustic, live or studio, no matter how he does it, it's always great. The guitar playing, though only rythym, gets erally nice at the 2:26 mark.

[Teapartyla]

Dude, post the lyrics in description. :)

[Teapartyla]

Awesome!!!



[sukiMary]

amazing voice ^^ one of my favorites singes :))

[BeingSlinky1111]

This is an extraordinary version of the song. It's a beautiful recording, but the filming is not. Lazy / thoughtless camera placement. Where's the original music vid? i posted it to my fb news feed & now it's gone. WTF?

[nivlas1]

Great song, great performance.

[righthander99]

pure rock..wonderful



[hfpp1]

Voices like this one will always be alive in our heart! :D

[CallMeMysterious]

I <3 BA.

Kocham Bryana Adamsa! O!



Jest zajebisty!

[guitarhorn]

Old has nothing too do with it. I have been playing guitar 46 years now and I can still smoke the strings more than ever at 55.

[sherrillwallace]

@guitarhorn 4 weeks shy of 62 and 48 years playing in a band. 6'2inces, 176#, in the same shape I was at 25. I have no plans to stop playing. Our booking agent might have us on country music this wk, the blues next wk, rock and roll the next, I sing solo gospel at my church. Age is a number thats irrelevent to me. Click on my name to hear a song. Go Brian Adams. Great voice. Sherrill

[sjr999r]

the unmistakable voice of Bryan Adams...80/90/00's still rocking at 51...topman

[anubhov1801]

OLD IS GOLD! ...no doubt whatsoever!

[slammyjammy38]

what's better than a man and his guitar? Nothing!

[rosebelforth71]

I LOVE HIM ALWAYS!!!

[GlenRotterdam]

I LOVE YOU.

[taucher2904]

Dirty old Jack-Daniels Rock`n`Roll voice...♥

[Patatenhannes]

no difference to his voice in the 80s... amazing

[kellypettit]

That voice just punches through as rich as gold. Love it like I did all those years ago. Awesome.

[Hunedog]

Hey I'm a 50 year old man who rides a bike for a living and my cardio is in better shape than in my twenties. I can proudly say I don't look a day over 49 at least that's what people say anyhoo.

Oh and the video rocks just to get back on topic.

[summer191267]

You re a beautiful man, with a beautiful soul. Please come to Perth, Australia, I dream of going to see you on stage! You have been my companion when things were high and also when they were low, and your music and voice are an inspiration. Thank you for being you.

[ceeceecash]

Perfect

[tonybadams]

He is a Knight like me



[audrapriscilla]

I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 80's. Bryan Adams was fhe very first album I ever purchased. Yes an actual Record. cool days.

[freedomland11]

he might be 51 years old, but he has a hairline of a 10 year old boy...Not to many men can say that...LOL

[neilgatpandan]

@freedomland11 LOL

[Runcycle09]

He is 51, that is not that old....



[multisonus]

just like wine. just gets better with age.

[hisjam]

Highest divinity performance is "Cut Like a Knife" , as perseverance empowerment .............

[rickster1997]

Just one of those songs that holds well with time backed up with a great voice.

[danapol1]

Man, you are the best!!! I do love moments when you say goodbye to your band at gigs and standing alone on the stage with your guitar - giving us so many positive energy and - hope - getting it back from us! Love you, man,,,, and really hope and beg you on mu knees COME TO POLAND, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

[jniceva]

he made a deal with the devil wow 25 yrs later...awesome!

[steelpowerhouse]

Seriously, one of the best rock n' roll songs ever written!

[54321lmc]

old???? who ya callin old.... the word is CLASSIC!!!!! it never goes outta style

[thunder2688]

[Joshgorbis]

canada!

[Reinpret]

Read the Wiki Page on Bryan Adams. Seriously accomplished singer/song writer. Much mroe than the casual fan realize. I was blown away.

[MrGuitarrez]

[jacksonmusic666]

@MrGuitarrez ya its a seagull.....wtf kinda question is that....it wasnt even funny...fail

[cpta2020]

@MrGuitarrez No its a Moon Guitar.. RD3... I believe ...

[terencef97]

[jacktorse28]

[Timwiller]

[RealDealSaar]

He´s getting older, but he is still as great as he was during the 80´s and 90´s ! Simply amazing !

[davidvictory100]

SUPER! UKRAINE LOVE BRYAN FOREVER!

[jenrocks40]

Love the acoustic version! Its like hearing the song for the first time all over again. Bryan just keeps getting better as the years go by!

[jurgenmanfred]

love is to painful.....no more...no more...forever

[spf1410]

Still awesome- the song & the artist!

[zeronighter22]

One of my all time favorites! Awesome job Bryan - keep on rockin.

[alfie62]

i think he has detuned by 1 or 2 semitones

[rockafellateatime]

i really don't like his music until he plays live acoustic, then he's brilliant.

[gadders1969]

im trying to play this on my acoustic,it dont sound like this video though.

any1 know what key he is playing in.

its not standard

[clesterrific]

@gadders1969 He's tuned down a half step. Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb,Eb. Easier on the voice.

[john111257]

lovin it...bryans a top guy...whateva age...maturing with age

[SHEPARDWISPERER]

this song kicks ass and after all these years adams is still lean an mean

[john111257]

LIKE WINE BETTER AGED...TRUE TALENT

[myree71]

bryan adams and his guitar...i need nothing more...

[yosoyian]

[ThrowntoReality]

[25daniel]

[HarajukuGirl92]

@john111257 WHAT???

[john111257]

@HarajukuGirl92 bryan is the best...eva

[hellagun]

BRYAN ADAMS ROCKS!!!!

[drcldrcl]

yes it was recorded for that TV the same tv show as this video

[pfkgm]

The man is gettin old ! But the same voice as in the beginning.. wondreful !

[europefan66]

@pfkgm What? Getting old?! This guy looks even better as the time goes by. He's gonna live forever.:) He's the best ever!:)<3

[pfkgm]

@europefan66 I just meant that we can see age in his face, but it changed nothing at all ! I think he's the best too !

[europefan66]

@pfkgm Got that:)

[CYBERVISIONSdotCom]

@pfkgm Old my ass - he's just a couple of months older than me and I can still rock the same as when I was a kid. Bryan Adams and other living Rock legends will always be at the Heart of Rock, unlike the crap they're producing today.

[pfkgm]

@CYBERVISIONSdotCom Hey, I didn't say he can't rock anymore, I just said he's getting old, I mean look at his face, he's not 20 anymore, but he is rocking the same (or even more) as in his 20's

[CYBERVISIONSdotCom]

@pfkgm Just ragging on you - trust me, when you hit 50 you'll rag on anyone who thinks 51 is "old" too. Gotta agree with you though - we're the same age and most people think I'm in my 30's. Only hint is that my beard is mostly gray, but that started when I was 35 anyway. I'm fortunate to be in the generation that literally grew up with Rock - I think it's great that those younger than me can experience the type of music I was privileged to grow up with.

[pfkgm]

@CYBERVISIONSdotCom Yeah you're lucky, I'm 18 and the music today (I'm thinking about Justin Bieber and stuff) just sucks, grewing up with rock like would've been awesome !

[CYBERVISIONSdotCom]

@pfkgm Check some of my Playlists if you wanna get an idea of the stuff I grew up listening to - I"m still adding to the different decades.

[Rajbhandari88]

@pfkgm Damn right! He always had this husky old voice since the beginning. :D

[JucixD]

Oh... I love this song.♥ It's so fantastic.

[ikmaanroos]

I have a question for anyone who can help me:

A long time ago I saw Bryan Adams performing his song She's got a way. It was in the same show as this (live from Abbey Road) There was a girl playing the violin. IT WAS SO VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! and now I'm sad because I cannot find it anymore...:(

Anyone knows what I'm talking about? Where can I find it.. Is it on a cd? Or maby I can find it here on youtube??

[drcldrcl]

i have a copy of it on my computer from a tv recording i made when it was broadcast on channel 4 in the UK.

I did post it on here but Mr Adams and Co decided it wasn't my right to do that...

[drcldrcl]

i have the video if you are interested - in full TV quality

[ikmaanroos]

I don't know how, but if you're able to send it to me, I would be very thankful:)

[gitfiddle81]

@ikmaanroos I saw it too. Amazing.

[kwassiemodo]

I saw him two weeks ago acoustic live in Rotterdam and he was great. One of the best concerts of my life and i have seen a lot!!!!

[gambit5150]

man this songs a real good un, was only 8 or 9 when i first heard it am now 34 and still makes me feel good ,

[25daniel]

My favorite song of all times ! as another internet user told you: it's priceless !

everybody shoud sing with Bryan: na na na na na na...! :)

[Padingtonslamin]

ive always loved his voice - btw his guitar playing isnt exceptional but he will always be 1 of my favs

[yeoGlover]

He plays bass alot,he doesn't need to be exceptional on an acoustic With a voice like that and millions of album sales behind him.

[Robinespana]

The man is a God, if you have never been to a gig - what are you waiting for - you only live once so do yourself a favour, trust me...........

[Duncan038]

been twice , stadium gigs in the 90s , fantastic!!

[packerbackercarl]

one of my favorites, great!!

[seannymac33]

That is positively awesome. I'll be at BA's show in Kentucky next week :)

[Bntnredsox]

Priceless................ THANK YOU BRYAN

[Freewilly789]

aaarrrrrrhh soooooo niceeee

[ouel999]

Simple guy, talented artist, great canadian, great music Thank's Bryan

[patriciamaria57]

he sure makes you proud to be Canadian, great voice, great guitar, great guy!

[PlavOciZena]

He's a genius

[TUUK2006]

@PlavOciZena Not really.

[laggie24]

This feel so right ... glad I have had the chance to see him live at Budapest ... it was unbeleivable ...I would love to repeat it over-and-over again :).

One of the BEST artist in our days :) Regards out there from Budapest

[McInside]

nah nah naah cuts like a niifee! woow! great song!

[letterli]

Love his acoustic songs - keep it simple! When a song works on an acoustic guitar, then it's a good song! Keep on rockin', B.A.! Tx 4 your songs!!

[vikingmerijn]

He is a great artist... I mean how many times can you re-use the same chords and still create totally different songs! LOL :P

[Oafah]

Well, that's the nature of diatonic music. Maybe one day you'll learn that.

[vikingmerijn]

Hmm, very sharp of you. But there are lot's of artists who do not repeat the same D-A-E progression so many times as Bryan does...

[CathyJohn747]

the crux of this ditty is in D-G-C (original), but Bryan has tuned down a half step for this recording (C#-F#-B)at Abbey Road as it is not so easy for him to sing in standard 440 anymore at his age. He's clearly playing D-G-C with An A and Bm thrown in the bridges. It is not repeating the same progression rather than Bryan Adams' singing register is in the key of D or A; Summer of 69 would exemplify this point. I don't know where you get a D-A-E progression.

[vikingmerijn]

I didn't take the time to figure it out. So I just guessed. But it just strook me that Bryan re-uses many chord progressions... I'm totally not into music theory, I just play and enjoy. :)

[CathyJohn747]

Keep on Rockin' in the Free World says Mr. Young (another Canadian Rock Icon). The level you are musically says nothing for your level of music appreciation. You seem to be a student of Music; good on you!

[fraggierock1]

love this song ,

[carpetcle]

Myself and my children saw him in Melbourne, Australia. It was the best night....

[IrishEy1]

I am going to see Bryan tonight at Massey Hall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and I just cant wait, my fav Adams performance was with Tina Turner singing Rock Steady.....amazing, amazing, amazing

[joroma77]

I think that was Bonnie Raitt. The one with Tina turner was It's Only Love.

[marcus2286]

just saw him last night in Ottawa ontario, just him and an acoustic guitar and 2 and a half hours of his 30 year songbook, never missed a vocal note, fucking amazing performance live, one of the best canadian imports!

[rayito2005]

This song is great but i prefer the video version

[matuto2007]

one of my fav version of this great song!

5 STARS !!!

[callingit]

wow, he sounds great...sounds better now than he ever has and seems to have adapted the Don Henley- 45 and over mellow approach. Good stuff!

[coolranan]

some 1 pls get this in mp3 pls i beg u

[macedonitissa]

that gravelly voice does it for me every time... it reaches out and touches my heart

[noumanahmad86]

pure legend

[dlekurdistan]

the best of all the time

[marritmyrthe]

The greatest!

[orisa79]

I love this song very much!CUTS LIKE A KNIFE BUT IT FEELS SO RIGHT!!NA NA NAAA,NA NA NA NA NA ,NA NA!

[stranger571]

Great Song from the great Man !!

[musicbots]

what kind of guitar he use????

[5APACHES]

very good master. belle music. guitar & man with life.

[Briar1229]

I got to see his concert in May and his voice gave me goose bumps.What a great songwriter!I hope he makes a DVD from this tour!

[june2982]

simply the best! amazing voice, awesome song writing ability.

[jtbblues]

I'm reliving the 80's, love that time, jt

[inasecretplace]

From 2.00 to 2.25 I can feel he's passion for the music.. he is the always the best

[inasecretplace]

He's incredibile

[tsamb7777]

Amazing! But why does it feel 'right'?

[thebluesrockers]

well if a woman is cheating on you, then dumps you. it should feel right to be free of her. or maybe he is glad he doesn't feel wrong" like that burning feeling that people get when peeing with the clap. lmao...

[str8shootar]

20 year plus on, still as great! thanks Bryan

[priyankpatel10]

man i never get bored of his songs, you rock dude just fantastic

[cockxl]

Amazing,you,re the best dear Bryan.

[ZANTEDESH]

the guitar sounds AWESOME. Love the vocal - excellent.

[kezzalanz]

B A doing acoustic shows first week in July. Saw him in October doing acoustic , its fab !

[madhavan84]

his voice.. three decades on, i guess, it still feels so right !

i wonder when he is coming back to england !

[thebluesrockers]

I head he lives in London.

[bucktownjd]

WOW! This is an AWESOME version of my fave BA song! Does anyone has the video of Cuts Like a Knife that was shot in Germany or Belgium in the pouring rain? It's about a 6 minute version that kicks ass...it was removed a few months ago. Thanks!

[badman8669]

I have it.

[fireriver29]

Love this version! Bryan, I have to say that it cuts more like a machete lol. It would not sound right in the song I know.

[w6p7a]

We just watched him do a show in Madison unplugged. A video of his live performance doesn't do any justice to the real thing. 

Very entertaining.

[fireriver29]

I can only imagine how wonderful the live show would be. I am real happy for you to be able to get that chance. Did you record it? maybe you could upload it so we can watch it. Thanks for the comment.

[w6p7a]

I didn't record it. I was afraid that with it being unplugged, that It wouldn't be very good, but it rocked. I don't know if u'v ever had the chance to c 1 of his shows, but he has quite a sense of humor as well. He has so much great music, some that I've forgotten about; he's a very underrated musician.

[teenstalkmoney]

underrated? He's like mega popular.

[teenstalkmoney]

ive never been but by the sound of his voice i can tell that would be the case, not many artists now that sound better live than they do recorded.
