Bryan Adams: The Canadian Sensation





Bryan Adams ("BA")- King of Rock or Rock King?



Doesn't matter what you call him, all he does is continually melt faces all over northern north America. Is there such a thing as too much intensity at a live show? As far as I'm concerned, no living musician today can match the kind of tonsil exploding face meltage this Canadian commander has crushed over the years. Think you know how to party in the Plain States, eh? Try getting BA'd by some heart wrenching acoustic vibrations for gosh sake...



Bryan Adams Festival?



Fire up the Gravitron and helicopters! Bryan Adams is coming to your town to throw it down. How did I miss this festi? Jambase concert alert fail of epic proportions.



Nonetheless, I'm super pumped for the Fargo, ND show. Just hoping I don't get those crummy seats like last time.



Miami Herald Interview - Bryan Adams can play jazz? -



Of course not, but...



'Everything I do'... STILL KICKS SERIOUS ASS



Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart - search your soul

And when you find me there you'll search no more



Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you



Look into your heart - you will find

There's nothin' there to hide

Take me as I am - take my life

I would give it all - I would sacrifice



Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you



There's no love - like your love

And no other - could give more love

There's nowhere - unless you're there

All the time - all the way



Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

I would fight for you - I'd lie for you

Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you



Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you




Particularly moving is the 5th stanza in which the Canadian Sensation states:



"There's no love - like your love

And no other - could give more love

There's nowhere - unless you're there

All the time - all the way"





Passages from 'Tao Te Ching' or an 8th graders diary? You be the judge.



This tragic love void can only mean one thing - the sickest whammy bar guitar solo of all time and the infamous "hold a guitar like a dangerous snake" D-Chord trickery only BA can pull off.
