  • Bryan Adams: Prized Guitar Defaced With Graffiti by Egyptian Customs Agents

    Bryan Adams says his prized guitar was defaced with graffiti when he went through customs in Egypt recently. He traveled to the country where he performed with Egyptian percussionist Ahmed Bedair in front of the Sphinx in Egypt earlier this week.

    Taking to social media, Bryan Adams shared a photo of the defaced guitar on Instagram.

    “Airport customs graffiti on my 1946 Martin D-18 in Cairo, Egypt. Back to the luthier… #bryanadamsgetup,” he captioned it.

    It’s sad that there are untrustworthy customs agents. Travelers like Bryan Adams are at their mercy when traveling from country to country with valuables.

    Have you ever experienced anything like Bryan Adams experienced when traveling to Egypt?

    It no doubt left the rocker with a bad taste for travel.

  • Bryan Adams And Justin Bieber Remake ‘Baby’ In Unlikely Duet

    Justin Bieber’s hit “Baby” is one of his major hits but it is also one of the most disliked video on Youtube, with 5 million dislikes from viewers.

    However, it is still the song that marks Bieber’s beginnings as a music superstar.

    But will listeners still respond negatively to new version featuring Bryan Adams?

    Bryan Adams and Justin Bieber performed a surprise duet of  “Baby” at the Universal Inside 2015 conference in Berlin on September 15. It was like a combination of two genres.

    Unlike Bieber’s version with rapper Ludacris, his acoustic version with Adams is a slower, raw version of the song. It’s not the sweet, young version anymore but a more matured ballad that is far from the versions Bieber did in his past performances.

    Bieber had a lot of hits already, and he also did other renditions of his other hits, but this is the first time he made an acoustic rendition of “Baby” and with Adams joining him, it’s indeed a special one and nothing like any other renditions we’ve heard before.

    Bieber also has an acoustic version of “What Do You Mean” that his fans will get to hear once its original version is streamed enough on Spotify.

    Bryan Adams will be releasing his new album called Get Up this October, and Justin Bieber will also have his upcoming album this November. Both Adams and Bieber were there to promote their music at the conference.

    Could Adams and Bieber do an album or hit together?

  • Bryan Adams, Ringo Starr Remember Joe Cocker

    Bryan Adams, Ringo Starr, and a wealth other singers and celebrities paid tribute to the late Joe Cocker, who died Monday at the age of 70. The singer died following a battle with cancer. He is best known for his 1974 hit song, ‘You Are So Beautiful.’

    Joe Cocker collaborated with Jennifer Warnes on his only hit to surpass ‘You Are So Beautiful.’ ‘Up Where We Belong’ was a quick chart climber–reaching the number one spot on the Billboard charts–in 1982.

    Bryan Adams, Ringo Starr, Hugh Laurie, Steven Tyler, Josh Groban, and more took to Twitter to remember Joe Cocker following the announcement of his untimely passing.

    As Bryan Adams said in his tweet, Joe Cocker was one of the best rock singers ever. Hopefully the family members and close friends he leaves behind find some solace in the words that each of these singers/musicians has expressed in an effort to ease just a tiny bit of their pain.

  • Jack White Nominated for Best Rock Song Grammy

    Academy Award-nominated musician Jack White’s “Lazaretto” has been nominated for Best Rock Song for next year’s Grammy Awards.

    The other nominations in the category include Paramore’s “Ain’t It Fun,” the Black Keys’ “Fever,” Beck’s “Blue Moon” and Ryan Adams’ “Gimme Something Good.”

    White was also nominated in the 2015 Grammy categories for Best Rock Performance and Best Alternative Music Album for Lazaretto. He is also nominated Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package for his work on The Rise & Fall Of Paramount Records, Volume One (1917-27), alongside Susan Archie and Dean Blackwood.

    White has previously been nominated for various Grammy Awards 24 times, and has won eight, so far.

    Here is the video for “Lazaretto”:

    A lazaretto is a quarantine facility for sea travelers, and can comprise a ship at anchor, an island or a structure on the mainland. Leper colonies were once called lazar houses, named after the story of Lazarus the Beggar.

    White has stated that he partly based the album around a series of poems, plays and short stories he’d written when he was 19. He rediscovered his writings while rummaging through his attic.

    Lazaretto debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 138,000 copies in its first week. Interestingly, “Lazaretto” has the world record for the fastest recording ever produced. According to White’s label Third Man Records, the first batch of seven inch singles was recorded, pressed, assembled and available for sale in three hours, 55 minutes and 21 seconds.

    White, 39, shattered the standing Guinness World Record set by Swiss polka trio Vollgas Kompanie, who issued their album Live, the day after they recorded it.

    White, born John Anthony Gillis, gained notoriety as the principal singer/songwriter for The White Stripes, which he formed with drummer Meg White in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan.
