Ryan Adams doesn't appreciate interruptions, be they Bryan Adams-obsessed hecklers or flash-happy amateur photographers. And crowded music festivals can be stressful places for everyone -- if you'll recall, it was festival noise spillover that got the whole stupid Sun Kil Moon/the War On Drugs thing going in the first place. Similarly (but much less over-the-top, because Ryan Adams is not Mark Kozelek), Deadmau5's bass-heavy EDM bleeding into Adams' own headline set at Governors Ball last night set off the rockist curmudgeon in him: "Try to make this song on your fucking iPhone," Adams snarked. "Thanks for choosing rock 'n' roll tonight, thanks for choosing humans." And "This song is not going to match the robot music over there ... It's like we're living in a fucking Terminator nightmare!" He then launched into "Oh My Sweet Carolina," which you can watch below.

For his part, Deadmau5 seemed pretty meh about the whole thing, at least moreso than the last time something like this happened:
Rehearse all you want, you're still at the mercy at the fuckup who doesn't know how 3 phase power works. Lol. Amazing recovery tho!
