The Groper Thread

The guy has serious issues


have never understood why so many of my friends are into his music…,he has but a handful of songs I like


I guess he pulled that on Jenny Lewis and even Liz  Phair!

I'd say Mandy Moore takes the cake.

Did it to Natalie Prass as well. Dude is a fuckin psycho basket case.

I'm sure he'll have another online melt down due to this.

Here I am at 34000 ft and I hear this news
Haven't even read the story, but based on the commentary, not good

His whole stichk was to be an asshole from day one.
But This is the first time I had heard any of this
I think he always had a quantity over quality problem
But he has some sweet tracks in the midst of that pile

Am I supposed to publicly shame him now

I can only imagine the hilarious voicemail he’s going to leave on that reporter’s phone.

Absolutely not Sidehatch…


Are you heading to Hawaii?

Damnit, you guys always beat me to the scoop.

He always seemed like a total asshole. This is not surprising news.

It's safe to say his career is over.

He may be going jail over ava
He's toast
Sounded like f'n Weinstein with the ' come on by my hotel room' and he was already naked


And now the corporate sponsors start to run for the doors
"Benson, an amplifier company, has also discontinued its relationship with Adams"
"
JHS Pedals, a guitar pedal company, has also cut ties with Adams. The company released “the VCR,” a pedal in collaboration with Adams and his label Pax-Am.

Who did they touch?

My two mildly interesting tangential stories…

When I was living in NC in my late 20's, a female friend set me up on a blind date with her sister's roommate. I think maybe the connection was that we were both into alt-country. And maybe she thought we were a match physically. Anyway, at some point we made it to her place, and she asked me if I had ever her of Whiskeytown, her ex-boyfriend was the lead singer. I said no, and she played part of Faithless Street for me. Anyway, we didn't hit it off (playing your ex-boyfriend's band's album for your date is probably a sign), we both saw each other out once more but then both moved out of state and never saw each other again (I heard she married and had a couple of kids and is actually friends with another musician that I'm as long time fan of.) Anyway, first time I heard Ryan Adams.

The other story took place when I was in my early 20's. I briefly dated an aspiring musician who told me the tale of when she was 14, she met a rocker who was quite famous at the time and ended up having what seems like a Ryan-Ava type relationship (she even had pictures of them together so totally believable.) Anyway, I guess the moral of the store is Ryan is not the first creeper in the rock world.

No doy

Stupid self centered Canadians.  There is definitely a summer of 69 joke in here but I'm not going to make it….

To be fair, Bryan Adams is superior to Ryan Adams in every way.

Ryan Adams finally cancels UK tour

I don’t know if his career will withstand this scandal

I predict death within a year, if not, career definitely over.

I think he is going to rename some of the song titles


Fuck The Rain -> Fuck The News
Lucky Now -> Lucky Then
Call me on your way back home -> Call my lawyer if you want a statement
When The Stars Go Blue -> When the stars cry #metoo
Do You Still Love Me? -> Do You Still Love Me?

I think he will eventually try to make a comeback…,I mean I don’t see him having any other career option and he can’t live off of royalties….or streaming revenues

I just never found his music any good….I don’t understand what people like about him…terrible live…and all over the map musically…he is in my mind a fake…one year doing the Smiths…the next Grateful Dead…etc…. but there must be something as many of my friends with otherwise unimpeachable taste love him
