Ryan Adams angry message to Jim DeRogatis
Uploaded by: westost
Video Description:
The voice-mail response critic Jim DeRogatis got from Ryan Adams after Jims not-so-positive review of one of Adams shows. Using discography as video, but the audio is the point...
Some quotes from the review: "Note to Ryan Adams: Wish you were anywhere but here" "Adams can release three CDs in a three-week span, but the fact remains that he still can't write one song as original or as heartfelt as anything by Jeff Tweedy." "Absent an historical musical context or a functi
oning b.s. detector, it is possible to mistake Adams for being as talented and clever as he thinks he is. But then there are plenty of people who can't tell the difference between plastic flowers and real ones, until they bend over to take a whiff." "The fans (who skewed younger than Adams) ate it
all up, but you had to suspect that it was because they'd never seen the real Courtney, much less the Replacements or even Wilco."

But Jim do have some points in his review. I think Ryan writes a lot of average songs, and is basically an idiot on stage.
But he has surely written heartfelt songs, and check out the live version of Touch, Feel and Loose on youtube. His concerts can be amazing, if he is in the mood.

You can't talk abuot the music, it's too fucking good.
:)
ryan is amazing and everyone has their times
AHAHAHAHAHAHA No wonder his music sucks the big one. What a fucking diva. Like for sure like whatever like Adams is like so totally gay and like a big emo whiner. Like, whatever girl! OWNED! LOL
I'm not sure what the review was, and I'm sure that Ryan was somewhat out of line, but as a musician in NYC I know firsthand how these rock critics work. They're sad, lonely men who don't have a shred of talent but they think they've listened to enough records to, "get" music. Fuck Jim Deragotis a
nd fuck rock critics everywhere. Pick up a guitar and see what you come up with; I guarantee it's dogshit.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
