Written by Bryan Adams and Robert John "Mutt" Lange
In the beginning - God created the heavens - and the earth
Then he created the waters, and the land, and then he created Man
but man degenerated and descended into the black hole of making bad music
So a darkness fell all around
Only he could know of the storm that was coming, the hurricane that was brewing
yes there was something wrong, something missing
There was no Rock music
so he sent an angel, and out of mist, that angel came
he wore boots, blue jeans and a baseball cap
he had a big ol’ smile like a welcome mat
How cool is that?
Then all the world went silent - and they looked up
Cuz they all wanted to hear what he had to say
And after a moments silence, he said….
Let there be Guitar, Drums, Bass, Piano…
Let there be a kick ass - kiss ass rockin’ band
Let’s go..
If you’re looking for fun - turn the music on - let’s light a real big fire
If you wanna blast - lets kick some ass and raise the roof a little bit higher
If you need rush, grab your favourite crush - gotta go against the grain
If you’re here for the show and you’re ready to go - lets ride this crazy train
If you like kick ass rockin’ music - we’re a kick ass rockin’ band
If ya can’t play a lick - just play anything
Raise hell and clap your hands
Spread the word - bring your friends - the whole wide world is joining in
If you love kick ass rockin’ music - we’re a kick ass rockin’ band
If ya want the good back in the good times, get the grease back in your gears
C’mon bang your drum make your guitar strum
Put the buzz back in your beer
If ya wanna real sure thing - let the singer sing
Turn the tunes on up to 10
If you’ve had a long hard day - n’ you need to get away
it’s time to rock n’ roll again
If you like kick ass rockin’ music - we’re a kick ass rockin’ band
If ya can’t play a lick - just play anything
Raise hell and clap your hands
Spread the word - bring your friends - the whole wide world is joining in
If you love kick ass rockin’ music - we’re a kick ass rockin’ band
If you like kick ass rockin’ music - make some noise and clap your hands
If you want kick ass rockin’ music - we’re your kick ass rockin’ band

One of the absolute BEST live performers I've ever seen. If you've never been to a Bryan Adams concert, you're seriously missing out.

[@garyhillson4444]

Agreed. 1996 at Wembley. 100,000 fans singing "Heaven " EPIC

[@MsDonkeydoodle]

couldn't agree more- I attended his performance in KL & was stunned by how perfect his vocals were in real life 😍

[@johntinker3457]

Saw this show in Bangkok Friday night.....you are spot on, he is one of the all time best for live performances.

[@Guarrdian1984]

Yeah, just from pure love I assume for Bryan's music I always give a big thumb up even before I start listening...

[@WoutGaming]

Saw him in Antwerp in November and this was the introduction, simply incredible

[@Vampboi666]

Saw a Bryan Adams concert before and this song truly kicks ass. It was a great song opener

[@christopherdavies3079]

I think that guitarist Keith Scott has got to be one of the most under rated top guitarists in the world

[@christopherdavies3079]

Absolutely fabulous track with a great music video . Reminds me of when I saw Bryan Adams recently in concert at Dreamland ,Margate , Kent. 👍👋👋👋👋 Can’t wait to see Mr Adams again 👌😃

[@CatherineCallowHerbert6714]

OMG!!!!! How right is he! Kick ass Bryan, you always will, you are what the world needs!

[@Maverick4023]

After so many years Bryan still kicks ass. What a legend!

[@CatherineCallowHerbert6714]

He definately is a legend and a true performer able to adapt with the times....very rare these days...🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎵🎵

[@GuitarLessonsMadeEasy]

This business is hard, it's not easy being a musician, takes every stick of energy you have, This man puts 110% into every performance and takes care of himself to be able to do it, you pay money to see him and he in return delivers at his best because he is without a doubt Canada's 24 carat Rocker ! I tip my hat to you Mr Adams, I seen you in Sydney Ns recently and you and your band were amazing. Thanks for the tunes and the memories !!!

[@sandeeparuna8532]

Saw Brian live in Boston with Joan Jett in Boston on June 10 th...holy crap!!!! Two of the most PROFESSIONAL singer songwriter/ rockers in the biz! Love how the both of them put out new music and stayed so true to their vision and style of music! Who cares about being a " trendy" celebrity when you can crank out great tunes like this!

[@JusstinBoyd]

Just saw these guys live last night in Calgary. These men were made to make music and they absolutely killed it without hesitation. This song was the best show opener possible. I've been a BA fan since since the early 80s and this was a dream come true. So well done!

[@stevieray6216]

Same here in Munich. So many powerful classics to sing along, bringing back some sweet memories. Can’t forgive me that it took me so long to finally see BA live.

You ever check out BRYAN (Live) Back In 1969. 15 Year's Ago. KZbin. Hang on.🌟💫💫🥳🤸🤸🤸💥💥💫 ED, Make SURE you put your head phones ON and CRANK It Up.

[@gizellavarga4291]

Dear Bryan! I am very happy that the new video is officially released and others can see the positive transformation. You have finally come out of the darkness and enjoy rocking without forgetting. Even the piano is dressed in a white ribbon. The inscription on the drum is good. Inability to listen to the song without moving. I hope other fans like the video too. It's good that I don't have to keep my opinion to myself that I accidentally (I was quick) came across the recording. I remain your loyal fan, Gizus from Hungary.

[@alexwolf1507]

Just saw him Tuesday evening. They killed it for 2 and a half hours. I am a fellow musician and unfortunately am cursed with looking for mistakes when attending live concerts. He is a gifted singer and they are all talented musicians worthy of more respect and accolades than they receive.

[@scottthompson4193]

You talk as if he is underrated lol. Were you alive in the 80s and early 90s? He and his band were one of the most successful acts ...
