I don't really get avoiding Sirens, particularly if you've already heard Mind Your Manners.

No reason other than precious preference. It's just about hearing as little as possible before the album comes out. If I happen to catch it in a commercial or on the radio or whatever, I won't be upset.

I just don't see what difference it makes. What do I gain from hearing it now that I won't by waiting? So I'm choosing to wait. There's nothing to "get."

Stay strong pal, and know that its good and waiting for you to hear it on the 15th

Sometimes I forget how much the British love Bryan Adams.

My first gig ever was the 92 Wembley gig for the "Waking Up the Neighbours" tour.

If I'm in the car alone and Run To You comes on the radio, I turn it up.

A great song is a great song.
Fuck who performs It.

If you get impatient you can always swing past Australia and hear it on the 11th.

Yeah, but if someone else is in the car with me I get embarrassed cause I can't hit those high notes when I'm singing along.

He'd arrive home celebrate a birthday or a few and then his copy of the album would arrive

Summer of '69 is better. 'Can't Stop This Thing We Started' is best.

Lament, this is one of the prettiest things I've ever heard. Pearl Jam will never write anything like it.

ya i did not get that impression at all..

after everyone was saying 80's power ballad, i was expecting to hear "To Be With You" or something.... if anything, it seems more 90's to me than 80's

To Be With You was a hit in 1992.

ok... but if a song encapsulates what an 80's power ballad is, that would surely be one of them, regardless if it "missed" by a couple of years

i'm really not going to listen to this song to be sure but To Be With You doesn't have those charecteristic huge drums and wailing guitar solos. it's a subdued ballad à la More Than Words (:puke:). what i call a power ballad would be more along the lines of Motley Crue (Home Sweet Home, Without You) or I Remember You by Skid Row or Something To Believe In by Poison (sorry fellas if it brings you bad memories).

Baffling.

I do actually know that song. My dad played a shitload of Bryan Adams in the car when I was growing up. We actually took him to see B. Adams (as my brother and I refer to him) in 2008 for Father's Day or something. It was a small acoustic show at B.B. King's in Orlando. I won't go into my take away from the show, as I respect your love of his work.

True Story:

The first CD I ever got was Bryan Adams' "Waking Up the Neighbours".
The second was Pearl Jam's "10".

It's been all down hill from there.

Oh, don't worry, I'm immune to jokes about Bryan Adams. He's definitely from a bygone era and a guilty pleasure.

Wow. My thread on sirens v alive took off. There's some good insights to both sides there.
