[@thefunnyvideos9090]

I met Bryan Adams 2 times, both in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Seen Bryan in Concert about 5 times and my first concert was in Jan'85 at the Halifax Metro Centre .

Since you were over in West Vancouver, I'm surprised you didn't feature his former house on Mathers Ave, where the " Warehouse " got it's start. Bryan purchased the house after the success of Reckless and transformed part of it into a full-fledged recording studio. He'd loan it out to other bands while he was out of town and the neighbours were getting angry so that's why he built the Warehouse. The Album " Into the Fire " was recorded there and is billed as " Cliffhanger Studios ". It was up for sale in early 2021 and billed as a teardown believe it or not. It's a beautiful house. It's a shame if it did get torn down considering the history there.

GODBLESS U ALL ALWAYS BRAYAN ADAMS

Beautiful

[@sharilynnecrocker9937]

Mike sitze. That's who comes to my mind.❣️

It's no wonder Bryan's mother moved with him from Ottawa to Vancouver. It's the warmest city in Canada.

[@jcvancouver]

MrShobar good call. 👍

It’s the least FreeDumb too. So glad my parents got me outta Winnipeg at age 10. In 1979 we woke up in Van and I thought I died and went 2 Heaven. Rural Canada and pretty much all the other Citys in Canada are bunch of Racist Clowns

[@jcvancouver]

Raymond Parker took the picture of Bryan that I highlight in the thumbnail. He took it in the courtyard of Argyle high school. Years later, Bryan invited Raymond & his family to the Warehouse Studio and couldn't have been a more gracious host. Raymond also got to meet Jim, another true gentleman. A bunch of really nice guys. Thank you very much Raymond for your blessing to use it here.

oh man, my dad has SOO many stories of jamming with bryan in vancouver while growing up. all the gang turf war stories of north vancouver back in the 70s. Him and Ab bryant of the headpins and chilliwack. would all jamm together when they were all in highschool as they had met through family or school friends since my dad went to Balmoral and Ab went to argyle.

@@jcvancouver thank you! 🍻

[@sherrywhitmore7594]

Love the teen presentation. Makes a point clearly. We all looked like Halloween.

[@BludShotiiiiis]

saw Sweeny Todd in victoria curling rink around 75 with young Adams lead vocal having replaced Nick Gilder. The guy who later played guitar with Adams had an excellent local band called Bowser Moon.Vallance was with Prism i suppose or maybe that came later.Too long ago to remember lol

[@jcvancouver]

BludShotiiiiis incredible my friend. 🇨🇦🙂🎸

[@alphadog1961]

If you look on the concrete sidewalk where the bouncer tossed him,you can see the marks where his teeth hit the concrete...Cool Eh !

[@anthonygallen3957]

liked the story of tina turner having him thrown out they became great friends later lol

[@user-yv6fv6bf6x]

Miből lesz a cserebogár ?

[@kewvan8778]

at a concert we went to Bryan said he lived in the Guildford area of Surrey for awhile, do you know what year he lived there?

[@jcvancouver]

kewvan Hi kewvan. Thank you for watching. Sorry I don’t know about that. 🙂

[@jacktravis8496]

I thought heard he had also lived in North Delta. If he did, it was probably when they first arrived from Ottawa. He's well documented about living on the North Shore and Vancouver Proper.

[@crabbcake]

it prob him being Smug, trying to throw people off the trail.

[@jasondonovan1408]

the voice on this video is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

[@alukuhito]

It's definitely unique.

[@user-du4cx6ij7x]

Read all those books visited all the places 😂 didn’t realize the hidden Truth

[@user-du4cx6ij7x]

Pilgrimage ?

[@modtomodern]

Weenie Todd played Tupper my high school about 76'? He also probably washed my dirty dishes. Never liked his lightweight music though, and Vancouver has produced far better musicians and groups. Like DOA.

[@crabbcake]

he didn't work hard.. got lucky with moderate effort. Plus a major bratty petulant person for the type of junk he wrote. it was baffling to hear 'cuts like a knife' pure garbage. Luckily subsequent writing and music improved quite a bit and he was on his way.

[@alukuhito]

Cuts Like a Knife sounded awesome to 12-year-old me.

[@crabbcake]

really? the cheesy 'NA NA NA' ? thats like filler... but believe it or not he prob turned his nose up doing it all in Vancouver - but Vancouver was really ground 0(close) for 80s Rock sound. Production on 'Turn me Loose' is like a precursor to many many songs that you prob love. I don't think any of his music was ground breaking but it did evolve and by the 90s not too bad. @@alukuhito

[@alukuhito]

@@crabbcake I've never really been in to Bryan Adams, and have never though of him as groundbreaking. But, as a kid, I thought that song rocked. I didn't need it to be groundbreaking. Lots of rock songs have things like "na na na", "la la la", "uh huh", etc. Lots of screams, grunts, moans, etc. that aren't words in rock. I think his older stuff (90s and beyond) was more cheezy, when it became more poppy. I like this plain old 80s Canadian rock.

[@crabbcake]

but the APPLE?? he slices up an apple and lets the pieces fall into a drained pool.. so idk doesnt seem very cool - but i guess it felt so right or he wouldnt do it @@alukuhito

[@alukuhito]

@@crabbcakeWhy do you know such details of a video from 40 years ago?
