===Disputes with fans and other artists=== At a concert in October 2002, at Nashville's [[Ryman Auditorium]], someone in the audience yelled out a request for "[[Summer of '69]]", a song by the similarly named [[Bryan Adams]]. Adams reacted with a stream of expletives, and ordered the house lights turned on, ''[[The Tennessean]]'' newspaper reported. He eventually found the fan who made the joke-request, paid him $30 cash as a refund for the show, ordered him to leave, and said he would not play another note until he had left.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/73812/ryan-adams-not-amused-by-name-game |title=Ryan Adams Not Amused by Name Game |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date=September 19, 2015}}</ref> In a 2014 interview, Ryan Adams denied that the audience-member was asked to leave "for screaming a Bryan Adams song", but rather because the man was drunk: "The reason why the guy was asked to leave by me was because I was doing an a-capella three-piece with [[Gillian Welch]], [[David Rawlings]], and myself of '[[Heartbreaker (Ryan Adams album)|Bartering Lines]]', and in between the quiet parts the guy was screaming."<ref>{{cite web|last=Gabler|first=Jay|url=http://blog.thecurrent.org/2014/10/ryan-adams-clarifies-bryan-adams-stories-says-album-cover-similarity-is-coincidental/|title=Ryan Adams clarifies Bryan Adams stories, says album cover similarity is coincidental | Local Current Blog | The Current from Minnesota Public Radio|website=Blog.thecurrent.org|date=October 17, 2014|access-date=February 23, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/9145/rumors_about_ryan_adamss_dating_life_summer_of_69d/news/ |title=Rumors about Ryan Adams's Dating-Life, "Summer of '69"-Dude Ejection gave been greatly exaggerated |publisher=[[Stereogum]] |date=April 16, 2008 |access-date=February 23, 2017}}</ref> In April 2015, Ryan Adams, who had since become friends with Bryan Adams, played "Summer of '69" at the end of another performance at the Ryman in Nashville, an act described by ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' as "an olive branch to the city that was once his home".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/watch-ryan-adams-redemptive-cover-of-summer-of-69-20150429|title=Watch Ryan Adams' Redemptive Cover of 'Summer of '69{{'-}}|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|last=Leahey|first=Andrew|date=April 29, 2015|access-date=April 30, 2015}}</ref> Adams left an angry message on critic [[Jim DeRogatis]]'s answering-machine, in response to a scathing review DeRogatis gave of an Adams show in 2003.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/sep/22/ryan-adams-things-got-broken|title=Ryan Adams: 'Things got broken and I couldn't fix them'|last=Simpson|first=Dave|date=September 22, 2011|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=June 22, 2014}}</ref> During filming of the BBC's long-running show ''Songwriter's Circle'', where Adams was joined by American folk-singer [[Janis Ian]] and New Zealand's [[Neil Finn]], it was reported that he refused to participate in a number of the songs performed on the night and was generally dismissive of collaborating with the others. The fallout from the show resulted in an online to-and-from argument between Adams, Ian, and members of the public, who cited Adams's rude behavior and eccentric demeanor toward his colleagues.<ref>{{cite news|last=Teague|first=Marcus|url=http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/music/ryan-adams-and-neil-finn-fall-out-during-tv-taping-20111026-1mjld.html#ixzz1byKKybKb|title=Ryan Adams and Neil Finn fall out during TV taping|newspaper=[[The Age]]|date=October 26, 2011|access-date=October 27, 2011}}</ref> In August 2017, Adams singled out [[Father John Misty]] for criticism,<ref>{{Cite news|first=Taylor|last=Berman|url=http://www.spin.com/2017/08/ryan-adams-father-john-misty-insults-twitter/|title=Ryan Adams Calls Father John Misty the "Most Self-Important Asshole on Earth"|date=August 19, 2017|work=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]|access-date=August 20, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|first=Tom|last=Breihan|url=https://www.stereogum.com/1958228/ryan-adams-calls-father-john-misty-the-the-most-self-important-asshole-on-earth/news/|title=Ryan Adams Calls Father John Misty "The Most Self-Important Asshole On Earth"|date=August 19, 2017|work=[[Stereogum]]|access-date=August 20, 2017}}</ref> while a month earlier he made derogatory remarks about [[the Strokes]] through social media.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.stereogum.com/1955071/ryan-adams-is-roasting-the-strokes-on-twitter-for-some-reason/wheres-the-beef/|title=Ryan Adams Is Roasting The Strokes On Twitter|date=July 31, 2017|work=[[Stereogum]]|access-date=August 20, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|first=Evan|last=Minsker|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/ryan-adams-does-not-like-the-strokes-blasts-them-on-twitter/|title=Ryan Adams does not like The Strokes, blasts them on Twitter|website=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]|publisher=[[Condé Nast]]|location=Chicago, Illinois|date=July 31, 2017|language=en|access-date=August 20, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|first=Daniel|last=Kreps|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ryan-adams-rips-the-strokes-in-twitter-rant-w495244|title=Ryan Adams Rips the Strokes in Twitter Rant|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|publisher=Wenner Media LLC|location=New York City|date=August 1, 2017|access-date=August 20, 2017}}</ref>
