Adams third album, 1983 s
Cuts Like a Knife, featured the single Straight From the Heart, which became his first U.S. Top 10 hit. Adams followed it up in 1984 with
Reckless, an album that reached No. 1 in both the U.S. and Canada, and included some of Adams most popular songs like Run to You, Summer of 69 and Heaven. His success has only climbed from there. Writing songs is easy, Adams wrote in a recent Instagram post, while discussing work on his upcoming 15th studio album. Writing good ones is hard.
How Bryan Adams Wrote ‘War Machine’ for Kiss
The Canadian was invited to work with the band as it was putting together the 1982 album
Creatures of the Night. They’d decided to record a version of Adams’ “Rock and Roll Hell,” which was previously covered by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
“[Kiss] asked me to come down and meet with them and maybe help out on some other songs,” Adams told Eddie Trunk on SiriusXM. “I went down to Los Angeles. Gene had a guitar riff, but he didn’t have a song. I thought it was a pretty cool guitar riff. I didn’t finish the idea when I was in L.A., but I took it back to Vancouver.” At home, he began working on the concept with cowriter Jim Vallance, “and we came up with ‘War Machine.’”
