    He has matured over the years....

    That's what people do.
    Or he just found a way to shut up his critics......

    Very true. It's probably a combination of both and then the fact that he's not dealing with drugs and booze issues anymore. Though maybe that falls under "maturity".
    I'm glad to see him where he is now. I had some moments in 05-06 where I easily pictured him not making it. Then I thought he'd get his life together and not release music. It's great to see him having it all figured out and still releasing great music. I can't wait for the Prisoner bsides.

  • I have a hot date with that podcast tonight.

    Did anyone here end up getting that deluxe box? I wonder if they're shipping out this week. God damn I wish I'd ordered that.

    I passed on it for the same reason that I passed on PJ's Sevens. Not a fan of the single format. Plus, I imagine that those b-sides will come out soon enough.

    I am not going listen to the new one until I visit my local record store and pick it up on vinyl.

    The deluxe box is, somewhat surprisingly, still available in PaxAm's store. You can still buy one here:
    https://ryanadams.shopfirebrand.com/collections/vinyl/products/prisoner-end-of-world-edition

    The fact that it's still available begs the question as to why all the fuss w/ the way the pre-sale for it was set up? Were the pre-sale notices, special passwords and unique urls for "subscribers" really necessary? If anything they gave the impression that the set was much more 'limited' that it actually is. Cool boxset nonetheless but, perhaps, a bit of misleading marketing gimmicks.

    ....or maybe sales lagged based on high price point...? Looking forward to streaming the full album later today via NPR

  • I think maybe it didn't sell as well as expected. Just look at the posters in this thread who passed on it, like MFC, one of the biggest DRA fans I know and even he passed due to the cost. 17 bsides couldn't even do the job. I think I'll get this box eventually if it's available, but I can't justify the cost right now.

    yup. too pricey & not a fan of all 7" singles. I definitely want the bsides & hope that he releases those on their own.

    Imagine if Pearl Jam released a Ten reissue version like this. 11 7" with the album tracks on side A and 11 b-side demos... holy crap we would be all over that.

    Yeah, I think 7" + price point turned alot of people off.

    I still bought it. It looks badass.

  • His ticket prices were kind of expensive this go round, too. Is he having to pay alimony??

    With as successful as her show is on NBC and already moving on to another dude...he better not be.

    Hey MFC, I know you're a musician as well. How do you play Feels Like Fire? It sounds like maybe 3 chords in the whole song but there's something I can't put my finger on it. I play it in F with the capo on 3. I've got the F and Bb figured out. The theory in me makes me think it's a variation of C that I'm missing. Have you ever tried to play it? I think it's one of the catchiest songs he's ever released and would have been a great single from the last record.

    I learned it using this tab/chord chart. It sounds pretty accurate to me.
