This is classic Ryan at his best.

He’s been writing songs live on Instagram last few days. Sober again and awesome

I agree that this sounds absolutely terrbile, but Ryan Adams sure as fuck is not an amateur. He's an incredible songwriter, and if he's playing shows with and being covered by Elton John, than obviously a genius has spotted another genius.

i think ryan and eltons voices sound great, its when the others step up to the mic and sing along in the chorus that fucks it up. and you gotta think this is less then a month after 9-11 im sure they were loaded, you had to be loaded to have the balls to go play shows that quick down the road from where it all happened. i bet fdny were still putting fires out. so give them credit for making this show happen.

Okay, their soundsystem might not be the best, but the dude can sing!

[@CruelNight]

Funny how you quote Oasis in saying that he's a fucking amateur, when in fact, Liam has been recorded in interviews in saying that Ryan Adams managed to bring out elements that he didn't even know existed in the song

[@niceebba]

Okay, this maybe wasn't his best performance.. But he can sing, maybe he just had a bad day ;)
