Missing Criticism?

[edit]

This article seems very biased at first glance since there isn't really any criticism of Adams talked about, though a quick search on my part seemed to back that up, as there was only the "bat-eaters" thing, which is mentioned, and controversy about the concert in Zimbabwe, which is not. Concerns also seem to have been raised in the past.

Is there really anything missing in this article, or does Adams just tend to stay away from controversy? Unbeatable101 (talk) 21:18, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For years now, this article has had a full-time single purpose account sanitizing everything not directly approved by Adam's publicist. This is why it's one-sided. --Wtshymanski (talk) 22:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Feels Like Forever"

[edit]

The opening sentence under the "1990s" section says: "He returned to London and joined Eric Carmen in the studio to record the backing vocals for "Feels Like Forever", a song written by Adams for Eric's then-upcoming LP."

However, there is no evidence of such song by Eric Carmen. He may have recorded it but it doesn't exist online. He didn't release an album around this time until 2000. What is certain is a song called "Feels Like Forever" recorded by Joe Cocker, co-written by Bryan Adams and Diane Warren, which recieved moderate radio airplay and featured as the main theme for the 1992 movie "Cutting Edge". Seems weird to mention this song alongside Eric Carmen when it's more attributed to Joe Cocker's discography. MrDeclanDwight (talk) 01:48, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Summer of '69 meaning should remain in its own article

[edit]

Per title. I've removed the mention of it here. Read the entire statement and see how it stood out of context.

"Run to You" (number six in the U.S., number 4 in Canada), "Somebody" (number 11 in the U.S.), "Heaven" (number 1 in the U.S., number 11 in Canada), written for the film A Night in Heaven, "Summer of '69" (number 5 in the U.S., number 11 in Canada), which references the 69 sex position and not the year, "One Night Love Affair" (number 7 in the U.S.), and "It's Only Love" (number 14 in the U.S.), a duet with Tina Turner.

It seems like some people find it so interesting that they'd shoehorn it here whether or not it's in context. I think it's interesting too but belongs in its own page: Summer of '69. It doesn't do justice to it by stating it plainly without going into all the details. That is properly elaborated in that page. For the actual discussion there on it, refer Talk:Summer_of_'69#Why_does_the_Theme_section_contridict_itself?

No doubt if it gets added again, we'll at least have this discussion to refer to as a start. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:24, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
