Ryan Adams Nuclear (Live at Austin City Limits)

Ryan Adams performing Nuclear.
"This is where the summer ends
In a flash of pure destruction, no one wins
Goin' nuclear. Nuclear.
The violets in my eyelids goin' red
Sentimental geek
Shut up and go to sleep

They combed the beach and the remains
Of the bathing suits and Porsches all in flames
Goin' nuclear. Nuclear.
When I saw her, the Yankees lost to the Braves
Sentimental geek
Sentimental geek
Sentimental geek
Shut up and go to sleep

Give me an answer
Give me an answer
Give me an answer
Give me an answer
Give me an . . .
Give me an . . ."

Ryan Adams is possibly the best singer songwriter going today.

[bigcyhutch]

god who gives a fuck if he's high, drunk, just got screwed - whatever. every one of his performances is unique, like him. who ever said being on perfect pitch was interesting? people are such dumb sheep on the whole.

The guitar is a Pixies rip off of the first order. Hang Wire/River Euphrates

[niljuanzo]

is that brad pemberton on drums?

[toddholden]

he did a concert at the Senator Theater in Baltimore town many years ago...and truthfully, it was fucked up, and i'm a die-hard fan...but man that was a tough one  to take...then some douche says to me, 'Oh, i guess you're pissed cause you don't know his music'...fuck off, i know and respect his music, this was just a trashed show....

[wndrlst5]

Man, I love this... I can just imagine all the countrified folk down in Austin expecting one of his country-type songs a la 'Sweet Carolina' or 'A Kiss Before I go'; and looking at this performance going 'WTF?'. Instead he comes out swinging, with straight up, balls out renditions of "Nuclear' and "To Be Young (is to be sad)' . And high or not, man, he delivers! Awesome....

Magnificent musician

[whetrick]

Whatever...he's original; he has huge talent; and he shows up and puts on a unique performance every time. If it doesn't sound or "look" like his recorded version, then you don't get the beauty of live performance and individuality. Stay home and listen to your CDs. Every Elliott Smith show was incredible because it was Elliott; deal with Ryan as Ryan. He can write, sing, and play.

lets stop this discussion, its tiring and stupid, from each side.
