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.

[BrianMoore-sb]

I’ve I’ve been to over 50 concerts of different genres Bryan Adams is absolutely positively the best live performance I’ve ever seen in my entire life 43 years Brian Wilton, Delaware!❤❤❤❤❤

A bunch of old guys can rock out like this what the fuck 😳 🎸 ⚡️ fucking amazing

[AlRaayiea]

while every other band is getting dismantled, still stuck with old songs, getting in trouble, bitching about each other, bryan adams is the only artist that's working year after year and entering every other year with new bangers. thanks B.A.

I loved this video with Brayan and your amazing in white! 👏❤🇧🇷

[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 !!!

I just took my wife to Bryan Adams in Cleveland 06/15/23 and he absolutely rocked, sounded spectacular! What an amazing live performance.. 27 songs that included some acoustic versions. So glad I went!

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

Rock makes musicians like Brian Adams and his band endure with a career of more than 35 years. So long live rock 'n' roll and the musicians who perform it!!
