Blast from the past

[foggy]

I was going through some old magazines last night, thought I'd scan an NME Q&A they did with Ryan. It's from December 2002. I had to chop off the top (Christmas Soulmates) to fit the text. Check out the bad ass Ryan pic. :cool:

yeah, that was a surprise after bashing them for years.

[Rob]

I'd like to know the backstory too if anyone knows.

From memory, it was because Jack White threw a hissy over RA changing the lyrics to some White Stripes songs in a couple of his shows.

RA called Jack a little girl and it sort of went downhill from there.

Yep, that was the reason. (I was just about to post actually)

Sparky beat you to it. Bananas make you quick.

[Rob]

Wasn't there something between Ryan and Meg too?

Just found this little blurb from the NME:

The NME giveth and the NME taketh away: Mere weeks after naming Jack White the Coolest Person in the Universe in Perpetuity Forever (or whatever), the Limey ’bloid printed a fabulously bitchy anti-Jack rant from one Ryan Adams. In it, Adams calls White a “little-girl Jack White,” a “fucking ponce” and a “fucking movie star” and insists he turned down the role White took in the forthcoming American Civil War pic Cold Mountain. The story goes on to say that Adams is miffed because “he claims that White became precious after hearing Adams had changed some of the lyrics of White Stripes songs he was covering in concert.” Oh, Christ.

[Sydneyfan]

Wasn't there something between Ryan and Meg too?

Pre-spat, RA reviewed a White Stripes show for some mag and said something about Meg being "the most beautiful woman in the world" or words to that effect. But that's it as far as I know.

[Rob]

Ryan turned down the Cold Mountain role :lol

along the lines of Ryan fibbing...

He has recently been saying he goes to bed early...hasn't he claimed to be an insomniac in the past? or am I just making that up?

He's mentioned several times in the past how he can't sleep. Maybe it's all the clean living or maybe he's just telling porkies.

[Starlite]

Thanks, P. Great pic, indeed. Great answers too :lol

[hold on magnolia]

haha didn't Ryan take a shot at meg by saying in the liner notes to one of his albums (don't remember which one) "Thanks Meg White for single handedly saving rock 'n roll". haha.

He did?, ha. Meg should release a solo album. No, really. :pimp

Yep, it's in the liner notes for Gold.

[FrigidRoses]

I loved it when he did this. I know I'm in the minority, but I hate the White Stripes. Please don't flame me.

[Christina]

Didn't Ryan later admit he was just jealous of the Stripes? and is apologetic about it now? I remember reading something to that effect, but I could be wrong.

That scan rules by the way, love the sneer!

p.s. this site should have an article scan archive.

There is a photo section on the nav bar up top under photos. I'll add the scan there. :)

I've been gone way too long! the photo section is amazing. I've never even seen those pictures of his paintings.
