Singer Ryan Adams has done quite well on his own thanks to great albums such as his breakthrough Gold, Cold Roses and his latest effort Paper Tiger.

Yet for all of his acclaim, Ryan Adams can't shake the fact that he's been routinely heckled by people requesting Summer of '69, Heaven and (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.

At a 2002 show at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium (the original Grand Ole Opry), Ryan Adams finally snapped, locating a fan shouting for Summer of '69, personally refunding the fan $30 for a ticket and refusing to continue the show until he left the venue.

So, have Ryan Adams fans ever gone through the trouble of heckling Bryan Adams to perform New York, New York or other Ryan Adams hits?

"You know, I never have," Bryan Adams says after thinking for a moment. "I feel sorry for him that he does, but I guess if you call yourself Ryan Adams you're going to get it."

Although he hasn't been mistaken for the other Adams, one thing Bryan Adams has become known as is an acclaimed photographer.

In 1999 and 2000, Adams released two books of his pictures entitled Made and Haven, respectively. In 2002, one of his shots of Queen Elizabeth II ended up on a Canadian postage stamp while a shot of the Queen and Prince Philip is found at London's National Portrait Gallery.

His work has appeared in various magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Esquire and Harper's Bazaar and he's shot everyone from Morrissey and Cindy Crawford to Victoria Beckham and a topless Pink.

Adams says he manages to find the time to work seriously on both his music and photography. But when it comes to deciding whether a great song is harder to achieve than a great photo, Adams is quick with his response.

"It's way harder to make a great song," he says. "It's really easy to write songs, it's just hard to write good ones."
