Ryan Adams has always been a temperamental character, and at a recent show in Minneapolis, he shows that behind the genius is still a spoilt child.


Currently touring to promote his latest release Easy Tiger, American alt-country rocker Ryan Adams has again disappointed thousands of fans by cutting short a gig. While playing in Minneapolis on Thursday September 27, Adams showed why he's someone you either love or hate, by using the age-old "sound problem" excuse to leave the stage before his set had finished.

Throughout the show, Adams complained about the sound monitors onstage at the State Theatre. It even saw him move not only his microphone and guitar pedals, but also two monitors as well. After just over an hour into his performance, Adams obviously decided he'd had enough - announcing the next track was "the last one", he promptly left stage and never returned, leaving seriously disgruntled fans booing and heckling the stage.

Yet it seems that it was only Adams who noticed this sound issue, since even his guitarist said he didn't see what the problem was. Although no official comment has come out yet, many fans and insiders are already agreeing that it's just another addition to the notoriously haphazard live experience that is a Ryan Adams gig. Yet the difference this time is that even the most die-hard of fans are losing patience with Adams' spoilt brat antics. Personally, I don't blame them.
