David Ryan Adams was born in Jacksonville, North Carolina in 1974. Growing up as a child, Adams was heavily influenced by country music. He listened to stars such as Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash. As he grew into his teenage years, Adams began to listen to, and be influenced by punk rock. When he was fifteen, he began to teach himself the electric guitar and write his own music. At sixteen, Adams formed his first band. His band, The Patty Duke Syndrome, soon received a fairly large following in the group’s hometown on Jacksonville. When he was 19, Adams and fellow members of The patty Duke Syndrome moved to nearby Raleigh, North Carolina in hopes to gain a wider audience. In 1994, however, Adams left the band.
He soon joined a band called Whiskeytown (Whiskeytown is slang for getting drunk). The group consisted of Phil Wanscher (guitar), Caitlin Cary (violin), Steve Grothman (bass), and Eric ‘Skillet” Gilmore (drums). Whiskeytown released their debut album, Faithless Steel, in 1995. The album was released on the local label, mood food. The group was soon signed to Outpost Records. In the summer of 1997, Whiskeytown released Stranger’s Almanac. At this time, the band was having many problems. Only Adams and Wanscher were left in the group. The group’s shows became erratic due to the fact they never had a steady and set performance schedule. The group, although falling apart, released Pneumonia. The album, however, was never truly released due to the label going out of business. Whiskeytown soon broke apart.
Adams immediately began working on his solo career. He began acoustic touring. In 2000, Adams released his debut, solo album entitled Heartbreaker. Many of the songs were co-written by Adams and writing legends Gillian Welch and David Rawling. Heartbreaker was highly endorsed by singer/songwriter Elton John. Soon after the release of Heartbreaker, Adams was signed to universal records new Americana imprint label, Lost highway Records. In 2001, Lost Highway released the never-released Pneumonia from Whiskeytown.
Adams’s second solo album was entitled Gold. The album contained the hit single, ‘New York New York.” The song, which was really written about Adams break-up with a girlfriend, became a hit patronage song after the September 11 attacks. In 2002, Adams released Demolition. In November 2003, Ryan Adams released Love Is Hell, Part 1.

ryan adams is lame
hey
i just joined this meesage board so that i could speak my mind about mr. ryan adams. first and formost you are a weak ass poser who wishes that he could rock one tenth as hard as the people he talks shit about. not more then 5 min. ago i finished an article where adams blasts jack white because he may have said something. ok listen, if you think he is such a "pounce" as you called (look what poser you are in the first place using stupid english slang like 'pounce')way were you covering(no doubt badly) one of his songs. next you made fun of his clothes the fact that he wears red. at least he has a image and sound that are unique( no honestly, adam you don't look like every other art fag indie rocker i have ever seen)
and last, i think it is really sad when people who have little to no career/talent/chops/cool lyrics etc... bash some just so there name is highlighted in rolling stone. please adam don't make fun of some one who is sooooo much cooler,more talented and all around way rock and roll then you'll ever be. so stop brooding,put out that cigerette and beg mr. jack white to show you how to rock

| I agree on the fact that Ryan may have said
some unnecessarily nasty things about Jack
White [I read the article too], but it's
their business, and also has NOTHING to do
with either of their music.
The word is "ponce" and that's a
really pathetic thing to hassle Ryan about.
Honestly... his choice of words? Obviously
you couldn't find enough real faults in him
to fuel your post.
I'm not trying to defend Ryan, because it's
none of my business, he has his own mouth and
spine and doesn't need me to reply for him,
and also because he pretty much brought this
on himself. But I just have to say that I
think it's pretty sad that you hassle him
about his clothing and word choice.
Also, just because you aren't particularly
keen on his music [come on, you like the
White Stripes for goodness sake] doesn't
mean that he's got no talent. I can admit
that the Jack White is talented but I know
that I'm just not touched by his music.
Which is fine, it's taste. It's why
there's more than one band in the world.
I think perhaps you should realise that Ryan
Adams and Jack White are involved in
completely different genres of music... if
Jack showed Ryan how to rock, I'd stop
buying his CD's. | lidz | well said...
ps. ryan adams lyrics are are great, he has
talent, a career...and probably
"chops"... so what im basically
saying is.... youre an idiot | amyhuddd | I cant believe what i just
read....honestly...the white stripes may be
way more successful, but thats because they
are sell-outs. Jack freaks me out anyway. and
Ryan can say whatever the fuck he wants to
about anyone, its his life and he is free to
tell it like it is. Ryan's songs have
meaning for sure....unlike the white stripes
songs on fucking doorbells and whatnot | in_casino_out | uhhhhh....go to hell you stupid son of a
bitch...ryan adams is amazing and you have no
idea what you are talking about...who gives a
shit if he said something about your little
idol...he has the right because he kicks ass | tbsbandaid | yeah, I think Jack white is a much better
song writer. I mean "Im thinking about
my doorbell when you gonna ring it? When you
gonna ring it?" Pure
Genius...[/sarcasm] | 16knives |
Wow, talk about a debate. I just came here
to see who ryan adams was and if I wanted to
get into his music. From the sound of the
support of his fans here, he must be pretty
good.
On the other hand, I don't get it why any
artist would bad mouth another artist. Maybe
it was just a publicity stunt to get
attention (it worked) but still it is dumb to
dump on another artist. | GrayBeard | hey chazNasty,
clearly you know NOTHING | estas | hey, I been thinkin about jackoff white and
his frickin doorbell and I want to slap his
pasty, hallow, face. I really can't stand
the way he has (somehow) deemed himself a
rock god. Believe me, he has a long way to
go! Furthermore, Ryan Adams is probably one
of the most talented musicians on the planet
and if you actually knew anything about
music, you'd own every one of his albums.
Jack White is a fad, and a poor fad at that.
And what IS with all the red and the
"I'm so wierd, clearly I
rock" image he's pushing? Gimmie a
break...
