I saw the Live 8 logo in the Linkin Park video and that brought back some good memories of the 2005 concert.
It was the first time that I saw Keith Urban. I had the TV playing and Keith came on and it was like, wow, who the fk is this. It had been a while since I had heard anything like the music I'd liked when growing up as a teenager. He had elements of Bryan Adams but was country rock as well. It turned out he supported Bryan on a European tour.
This led me in to country music and finding all these great country rock bands.

Really enjoying Keith Urban at the moment. He's got that "if Bryan Adams was country" thing like you mentioned. Just feel good country rock. Great track.
