RYAN ADAMS has temporally closed his website as a mark of respect for the death of six 'FRIENDS'.

Following the airing of the last ever programme of the hit American show in the US last night (May 6), Adams has dedicated the site's brief closure to Joey, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Monica and Phoebe. The site will be "closed until further notice".

Adams' latest EP ‘Moroccan Role’ is available as a download only from iTunes.

What a cock.

― hmmm (hmmm), Friday, 7 May 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i think he should go one better and close his career

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Hopefully it will stay closed.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 7 May 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

He should close his fucking mouth and fuck off.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 7 May 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

The fat-faced cockfarmer.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 7 May 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

actually Ryan likes to bicker, we need to get him on here while this fightin' mood lingers.

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm glad that Ryan Adams has brought us all together in this wonderful way.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 7 May 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

such vitriol tho!

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Hang on, excuse me for being out of touch, but are they ACTUALLY ALL DYING in the last episode?! That would beat even the 14-character Hollyoaks massacre.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:00 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it's disgusting and irresponsible to suggest that ilx should close down. i would like to over-react now.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:01 (twenty-one years ago)

if we actually kill all 6 of the friends maybe ryan would actually kill his career too. kill 2 birds with one stone.

actually 3 birds. and 4 blokes

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:03 (twenty-one years ago)

with 6 bullets

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:03 (twenty-one years ago)

*cough*

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

god, what a pussy. He likes that fucking show?

― dave225 (Dave225), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i am finally coming round to Tim Hopkins view on ILX closure

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

unless you get a double kill on some of the shots. or if you miss a couple of those shots.

and only if the double kills don't compensate exactly the missed shots

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Ryan Adams is pretty horrible but a friend of mine works for him so all you people wishing for the end of his career would harm a friend. Bummer.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i do want to see the last Friends actually. it's given me such joy over the years. my favourite episode is where Joey and Chandler win Monica's apartment in that game of questions and answers.

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:05 (twenty-one years ago)

On a day like today this news cuts like a knife.

― DougD, Friday, 7 May 2004 13:06 (twenty-one years ago)

So the spin-off is going to be about Joey's Ghost?

(big x-post)

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:06 (twenty-one years ago)

That would beat even the 14-character Hollyoaks massacre.

WOAH BACDAFUCUP!

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Hollyoaks Deaths: Search and Destroy

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:08 (twenty-one years ago)

chester chainsaw massacre

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hang on, he's going to write a song about Morocco Mole?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:15 (twenty-one years ago)

A wind-up, yes?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

fuck that fucking fuck fuck! fucker fuck fuck!

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Everything he does, he does it for Friends.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

See, your friend deserves better. Like workers comp for having to deal with that wretched music.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I have never ehard anything by this Ryan Adams character. Does this make me a High Court Judge.

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

It makes you a lucky, lucky man.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I only know
1) a video for a song about New York (in 3/4 time as per law)
2) This Is It

Both were fine, OK.

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

See, your friend deserves better.

funny you say that, considering I think he's now out with They Might Be Giants.

The life of a pro tour manager is a long, tough, thankless road.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

If we're lucky, Adams will do a Spinal Tap on stage. Someday soon. Now would be good.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Like workers comp for having to deal with that wretched music.

I think the RIAA is waiting for Strongo to sign the waiver first.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

The life of a pro tour manager is a long, tough, thankless road.

Especially if you're running Adams' career.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

well yeah, although I think watching Adams wipe out a few months back might've been hilarious enough to be worth it all.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

If we're lucky, Adams will do a Spinal Tap on stage. Someday soon. Now would be good.

Substitute "GG Allin" for "Spinal Tap" and I think you've got something here.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

well yeah, although I think watching Adams wipe out a few months back might've been hilarious enough to be worth it all.

Only if I could've uploaded the wipe out via satellite link, Stence.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

He chose Morrissey on Thursday over the Friends finale.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 7 May 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Did Ryan Adams make his millions by having a song on the Friends soundtrack, or something? His stuff sounds just like the kind of crap they have playing in the background whenever I've seen it in the past?

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Friday, 7 May 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

So everyone thinks that Ryan Adams is being sincere here?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 8 May 2004 01:24 (twenty-one years ago)

A wind-up, yes?
-- roxymuzak (roxymuza...)

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 8 May 2004 01:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh. I totally had no idea what that was referring to, in context.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 8 May 2004 02:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Also what's May 28th? The last Friends in the UK?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 8 May 2004 02:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 8 May 2004 09:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, Big Brother seventeen is starting the same night, so may as well shut down for the evening, yeah?

― mark grout (mark grout), Sunday, 9 May 2004 08:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I like friends.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 9 May 2004 09:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I would rather watch Big Brother than listen to Ryan Adams or watch Friends.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Sunday, 9 May 2004 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)

you don't have to choose.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 9 May 2004 11:02 (twenty-one years ago)
