Ryan Adams is not Bryan Adams - trust me.

Reported by yewknee

Take this one with a grain of salt but apparently last Tuesday at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Ryan Adams got just a little sick of clever audience members. Someone yelled out a request for "Summer of `69" (a somewhat big hit for Bryan Adams) and it didn't go over so well. Ryan Adams ordered the house lights up, screamed a "stream of expletives" at the audience member, paid him $30 from his own pocket to reimburse him for the ticket and ordered him to leave or he would refuse to play another note. The venue's general manager Pam Matthews "apologized profusely" to the fan and lead him to a seat in the back - where he enjoyed the rest of the concert and made $30 off of Ryan Adams. Is this a staged thing that happens all the time? Or is it just more proof that there's no such thing as bad press.
