Brantley Gilbert On Monday Night Football Really Was That Bad
Being a country music fan sometimes feels similar to being the fan of a really really bad sports team, where you feel inclined to put a bag over your head as opposed to showing your face in public. If you’re a fan of actual country music, you’ve probably worked out an entire spiel when some friend or co-worker asks you what your favorite music is, and you have to explain that you’re not referring to that kind of country music, meaning whatever the hell they’re playing on the radio at any given time. You’re taking about Tyler Childers or Cody Jinks, or Sarah Shook or Mike and the Moonpies.
The truth is that mainstream country music has very much become niche programming, and only subsists off of selling advertisement to a very specific demographic slice that is specifically susceptible to marketing slogans for corporate beer and domestic-made full size pickup trucks. Most people don’t even know how bad today’s mainstream country has become because they never interact with it. But even as non country fans, they still have a notion of what country music is supposed to be. Perhaps they heard it growing up, or happen top be passive fans of folks like Garth Brooks or George Strait. Then they get a whiff of what is popular today, and they are appalled.
This was illustrated perfectly on Monday night (10-14), when Brantley Gilbert was tapped to provide the halftime entertainment for the Monday Night Football presentation on ESPN pitting the Green Bay Packers against the Detroit Lions. Brantley is out there trying to promote his new record Fire & Brimstone, and hell rained down on Twitter as thousands of abhorred football fans stared at their HD flat screens, mouths agape, wondering what the hell they were witnessing.
And it wasn’t just that it was bad country. It’s that it was just bad music, and the assessment of this was almost universal. There stands Brantley Gilbert with his stupid brass knuckles microphone and cheesy Affliction T-shirt machismo attitude, and his bandmates with their mohawks and dreadheads miming to a backing track, and it was like watching the officials blow yet another pass interference call, costing your team the game.
Of course, there are enough lug heads out there to allow Brantley Gilbert’s new record to go #1 in country this week, but with numbers so week (28,000 units? Please…), they were bested by the debut of the new Whiskey Myers self-titled album last week.
Anyway, Brantley Gilbert really was as terrible as you heard, and just in case you wanted to corroborate everyone’s reactions, video of the incident has surfaced below with all of 189 views at time of posting. And what the hell has happened to Brantley Gilbert’s voice? It used to not be this bad. Now he sounds like a guy who’s ragged his throat out by constantly yelling at all the women in his life while chain smoking filterless Pall Malls.
Sincerely America, as actual country music fans, we want to apologize to the National Football League, it’s players, coaches, owners, faculty staff, and all the fans for what you were forced to witness Monday night.

As much as he was grabbing at himself, wondering why he didn’t just whip it out and show the rest of us what he thinks is so impressive …
This is not country, this is just another hood
October 16, 2019 @ 7:07 pm
Love BG. You have to know him. And he was pounding his chest not playing with himself.
October 16, 2019 @ 9:11 pm
Well, …..
Nah, ….. Can’t do it …
Like shooting fish in a barrel
October 16, 2019 @ 9:38 pm
I’ve seen him live 3 times and thought he has great ! You can’t deny he’s got talent …
October 18, 2019 @ 2:44 am
I deny that he has talent.
October 18, 2019 @ 9:19 am
That dude has more talent then you could ever imagine. Yeah you can criticize him for Monday night but that dude has been down a long ling road to get where he us now. He was born and bred into the country music scene in Georgia. He will continue to sell #1 albums. Promise that…
October 24, 2019 @ 7:04 am
Paleease… Molly Tuttle has more talent in her left pinky than Brantley Gilbert will never even come close to having.
October 18, 2019 @ 4:42 am
Yeah, he has a talent for looking like a total douche while lip-syncing to a shitty backing track that someone started too early. They had to restart it… LOL. #fakephonyfraud

Yea, and, look at how much money he got from. Only thing you’ve done here is make yourself look like a jealous bitch.
October 17, 2019 @ 8:39 am
Seriously? I’d look at the name of the apparently self-appointed god of country music, but I don’t like to waste time acknowledging ignorance. So Brantley Gilbert had an off night, big deal. Oh, I’m sorry, mr. “I don’t like anything that doesn’t sound exactly like music from 1952.” And no one but Childers & the other 2 bands no one else has probably heard of are worth a dime? Because you said so? Get the f over yourself. Country music, like every other genre, continues to evolve. While I will agree that it has, in certain cases, delved to close to the pop style/sound, to say that it’s mostly garbage, & not acknowledge the many new, fresh, unique country entertainers who are shaking things up & making names for themselves is, like your “article “, ignorant. Maybe you should take a little time to listen to a few kick ass country artists like Tenille Townes, Elle King, Gabby Barrette…instead of getting off on the sound of your own obviously dense voice. Your piece is disrespectful, rude & a disgrace to “journalism”.
October 17, 2019 @ 3:36 pm
Amen!!!!
October 18, 2019 @ 6:46 am
Amen. People like different music food clothes. That’s what makes America great. Stop the hating and trash throwing and enjoy the music. He’s a good guy . Throw your stones at your own glass house first
October 18, 2019 @ 9:28 am
Did you mean “it continues to devolve”?
October 18, 2019 @ 10:28 am
JESUS thank you for this comment. Couldnt of said it any better. You hit the nail on the head. As someone who is a full time artist living in Nashville, I would say I know the ins and outs of the industry better than the average folk, or probably (whoever’s writing this article) and I can tell you theres a reason most people dont want to hear the same 2 chords and a boring train beat behind everything, with some guy that can barely sing on a good day. The people who are complaining about new country are the ones not talented enough to keep up with everyone else. They’re jealous of other people’s success. I love old country. I love new country. And also let me tell you how many people have actually come up to me and tell me they didnt know new country sounded like that and that they’re now fans. I’ve never run into one “appalled” person yet in the 10 years I’ve been doing this. Bottom line is if I wanna hear something that sounds like classic country I’ll go listen to classic country. And to all the hipsters who think something isnt good unless it sounds like or looks like 1960. Turn it off ????♂️
October 23, 2019 @ 7:06 am
” And also let me tell you how many people have actually come up to me and tell me they didnt know new country sounded like that and that they’re now fans. ”
you’ve made SCM’s case ….however inadvertently , adam .
COUNTRY music DOESN’T sound ‘like that ‘ . pop and rock and EDM and rap sound ‘ like that ‘. THAT’S why these listener’s say they like it . because it sounds like what they’ve been conditioned to like by mainstream outlets .
I’m guessing you are a huge ketih urban and carrie underwood fan …?
October 23, 2019 @ 10:00 am
In almost every case, it’s the percussion tracks that give it that sound where people go “OMG THIS IS A RAP SONG” when in reality that’s just not true. In the grand scheme of things if you would show new country to a dedicated pop or hip hop listener, they would tell you “this stuff is country as fuck” because at the end of the day katy perry and juicey whatever the hell is name is, don’t sound country do they? Because with these theories it should work both ways.
And I’m a fan of everything that is good. I’m a fan of artists that take different directions, and actually create something. I love the diversity of the whole sound. Still to this day Billy Currington, Jake Owen, and Randy Houser are my favorites. So much diversity through the years, vocal talent, and the best production personnel in town. But then again I pay attention to things musicians usually appreciate. If I lost my mind over some hip hop bass drums and finger snaps I wouldnt make it very far in Nashville.
October 20, 2019 @ 1:40 pm
AMEN! Very well said! Total disgrace to journalism
October 17, 2019 @ 8:47 am
You just wish he was grabbing his dick so you could see it. He isn’t by the way.! He is just resting his hand their. He is not like all the rappers that really grab their dicks on stage. Country singers are not like that jerk!!
May 13, 2021 @ 9:29 am
Well Said, I’m with her!
October 20, 2019 @ 10:10 am
He wasn’t grabbing himself he was putting his fist by his waist rewatch the freaking halftime show dummy. Yall are just jealous of him get off of your high freaking horses and stop being so darn petty leave the man alone he is absolutely amazing I have my opinion and I will express my opinions Its a damn free country and I did 4 tours of duty over seas and I will continue to be a fan of BG
October 20, 2019 @ 11:44 am
#1. Thank you for your service.
#2. I too served in the milittary, U.S. Army.
Both stateside, and overseas, in the Azores Islands.
What does being in the military have to do with commenting on Mr. Gilbert’s performance?
Speaking of the military, one of the greatest honors of my life was working with 20 of our nations Baddest Bad Asses, that’s right, Navy Seals, Black Ops, Special Forces, who were bridging from EMS, to paramedic. Such a great honor, as these guys, my
Brothers, were deployed to Afghanistan, after bridging to paramedic.
Worked on a team of 3, creating a pharmaceutical booklet, to be carried by our Brothers, in their rucksacks.
Their mission, as newly minted paramedics, was to keep a fallen brother alive, until the U.S. military came in and retrieved that soldier.
Received a Navy Seal coin, sometime during the program, and it was extremely humbling.
The night the guys graduated, with some of the Brass from Fort MacDill, attending, i received another Navy Seal coin. Was pretty speechless.
I love every one of those guys, and have prayed my heart out for them.
Interesting thing … during my time in the military, & as a reactivated veteran, during this time with the Special Ops, at no time, have i heard another military sister, or brother, speak the way you do.
You must be in a class all by yourself.
Stop hiding behind all these different monnikers, and THROW DOWN.
Let’s see what you’ve got.
BTW, i am 5’1″, and highly doubt you would last long, in a meet & greet.
To all military brothers & sisters out there, both U.S., and our Allies, around the world, Thank You For Your Service.
October 16, 2019 @ 11:23 am
Every time I hear this guy, he just seems like a rocker.
October 16, 2019 @ 12:06 pm
He is. I wish he’d leave country alone and just send his music to active rock radio where it belongs. But hard rock isn’t mass appeal anymore (“active rock” stations are largely classic now) so he calls himself country to cash in.
October 16, 2019 @ 12:52 pm
Karaoke Def Lepperd
October 16, 2019 @ 11:37 am
I don’t understand what the big deal is? This seems about on par with everything else the guy’s ever done, lol.
October 16, 2019 @ 7:10 pm
Love BG. You are entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong.
October 16, 2019 @ 11:38 am
I kinda feel bad for the guy because Lord knows that all artists have their bad gigs, but he seems like he’s not only trying too hard this point (that gravelly whisper-singing can be just as damaging to your vocal cords as screaming, if not more so), but he’s just way behind in the times. He’s capable of writing decent songs, but he needs to ditch the whole mid to late 2000’s cock rock gimmick and focus on just being himself. I’d even be able to appreciate him if he took a more bluesy southern rock approach, like Whiskey Myers or Blackberry Smoke. But at this point he just looks corny as shit. He’s still borrowing from the mid to late 2000’s and early 2010’s and his career is suffering from it
October 16, 2019 @ 7:19 pm
Love BG. He is so talented. He sells out every show and usually has to add more. Listen to “Bad Boy”, “One Hell Of An Amen”, “Just As I Am” and you will understand what a great guy he is.
October 16, 2019 @ 9:46 pm
Imposter! I can guarantee you the real Gemma Teller doesn’t have such terrible taste in music! ????
October 17, 2019 @ 7:40 am
LOL, I loved the episode where she got peeved at the young prospect who was addressing her as “Ma’am” and she grabbed his hand and shoved it onto her breast, saying “There; you’ve had your hand on my tit. That means you can stop calling me ‘Ma’am'”.
October 17, 2019 @ 9:03 am
“If You Want a Bad Boy”, “One Hell Of An Amen” and “Just As I Am” are from 2 albums ago. Right now he is in the middle of a new era. Like others have said before, I’d appreciate his music more if it was labelled rock not country.
October 17, 2019 @ 5:05 pm
He actually is labeled country rock. And she was talking about “bad boy” from his new album not “ if you want a bad boy” from his older album. If you actually knew him and weren’t just talking shit to get attention then you would know that.
October 17, 2019 @ 8:55 am
If he’s suffering than explain to me why he just recently had to add another date at Red Rocks because he sold out of the first so fast, yet he wanted to please his fans. Brantley Gilbert is an excellent music artist!!! People don’t like him because he’s like Trump, he can’t be bought! He tells it like it is and if you listen to the words of his songs he stands for God, Our Veterans, and most of all our guns and freedom. I love him. He’s got balls!!!
October 16, 2019 @ 11:48 am
Man saying it was bad was an understatement, it was on par with the Fray’s national anthem before the UK Kansas championship game which is a gold standard for terrible covers
October 16, 2019 @ 12:03 pm
How long before the BG Army comes in here with guns blazing? “Ur just jealous how many copies did ur last album sell?” “BG rox!” “U keep doin u BG and fk the haterz” not to mention fans writing him lengthy fan letters and posting them here as if he’ll somehow see them.
October 16, 2019 @ 10:51 pm
Well, they sure didn’t let me down.
October 17, 2019 @ 7:08 am
I’m impressed at how quickly they showed up.
October 17, 2019 @ 5:53 pm
I’d say it’s the bat signal that Google sends out.
Probably the same reason in most cases where an SCM story breaks 100 replies. There’s all sorts of Stans out there.
October 16, 2019 @ 12:05 pm
how does this asshole even get album sales. Worst thing ever happened to country music after jason aldean. meh
October 16, 2019 @ 10:24 pm
Dude, BG wrote most of jason aldean songs and since BG quit writing for aldean, what has Jason done??? Nothing!!!
October 17, 2019 @ 3:37 am
Donna Galliher Jason Aldean is the guy who made BG popular by cutting his garbage and bringing that putrid music to number 1. Aldean also broke the doors open to rap, hard rock and crappy R&B (see ‘Burning it Down’) in country music. If it hadn’t been for ‘She’s Country’, ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ and ‘Burning it Down’, people such as Gilbert, FGL, Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan and Sam Hunt wouldn’t be as popular as they are today. Period.
October 17, 2019 @ 5:17 pm
Dirt Road Anthem is Brantley’s song! Aldean covered it. And not very well!
October 17, 2019 @ 5:58 pm
Brantley wrote quite a few songs that Jason Aldean put on his album
My kinda party, kicking in the sticks are just a few
October 18, 2019 @ 4:47 am
Dan doesn’t have a heart or soul . He needs to
listen to Brantley’s Gilbert The lost soul prayer and fire and brimstone. Then maybe you would understand. I will be praying for you .
October 18, 2019 @ 8:04 am
Or maybe he should go see the Wizard of Oz.
October 16, 2019 @ 12:07 pm
This thug’s likeness has been appearing on the main digital billboard in Nashville, along with Sam Hunt, for quite some time. Music Row’s favorite miscreants….
I just shake my head and wonder, “Nashville, what went wrong?”
October 16, 2019 @ 12:20 pm
Empty suits is where nashville went wrong
October 16, 2019 @ 12:13 pm
wait wait wait this crap beat CODY JINkS with 28,000 copies??
October 16, 2019 @ 12:26 pm
Charts are always a week behind – Cody Jinks will be on this next chart release. This crap album came out on Oct. 4.
October 17, 2019 @ 3:40 pm
Cody who???? SMH
October 18, 2019 @ 6:22 am
This is all we need to know about you.
October 16, 2019 @ 12:28 pm
I caught a fleeting glimpse walking through my living room; my husband had the game on. I left quickly to save my ears. Who are the 28k people who bought this record?!
October 16, 2019 @ 9:13 pm
I did ????????!!! You don’t know anything about music and I would to see what you listen to .
October 17, 2019 @ 2:45 am
We were all wondering when the BG stans would show up, and here you are, using emojis and failing to write a proper sentence. You don’t need to question my taste in music if you are buying an album put out by this bro country has been.
October 17, 2019 @ 5:33 am
I couldn’t tell you who 90% of the ” country artists ” are these days. Try Dale Watson, Jamey Johnson, Justin Moore, or Shane Owens. And of course, you can’t go wrong with George Strait.
October 17, 2019 @ 6:34 pm
Tracy is calling out BG fans for not using proper grammar and doesn’t use proper grammar herself. ???? Let me go ahead and correct your grammar Tracy. It is “fans” not stans. Also, you stated “You don’t need to question my taste in music if you are buying an album put out by this bro country music has been.” This sentence uses improper word choice and slang “bro.” So when you go ahead and imply that BG fans are illiterate or mock their intelligence, be sure to check yourself first. It is not only stereotypical, but also unwise to mock a group of people for a skill you lack as well. You can take your judgemental behavior elsewhere because BG is as real as it gets. He writes his own songs. His music comes from his heart and from his life story. His music may not fall under your the old school country music genre, but country music has evolved. Open minded people understand that and are not so fast to judge. If you don’t like it, move on. There is no point in ranting and raving about how terrible something is. We don’t need that negativity in this world. Send more love and positive vibes please! Everyone deserves that, including Brantley. Thank you.
October 17, 2019 @ 7:12 pm
Damn have you seriously never heard of the term stan before? That can be your big girl word of the day today. Speaking of ranting, raving & being negative.. take a look in the mirror because that’s exactly what you just did to someone whose opinion differs from yours.
October 18, 2019 @ 2:30 am
As Melissa W noted, “stan” is indeed a word, and you are the very definition of it. Also, “bro” is not just slang, it is the term used to describe the type of music BG puts out. That silly “Bottoms Up” song is a bro country cliche, just to give an example. I am sure you were quite pleased with your little diatribe, but it made you look foolish. Speaking of foolish, BG’s performance during that game was as foolish as it gets. He is not evolving, he is stagnating.
October 18, 2019 @ 3:47 am
You are correct Melissa. Stan is a word. I do not recall saying it is not. I recall saying it is improper grammar because it is an informal word. “Fan” is a better way to describe the people you are referring to and it is also a formal word. This is the same as the word “bro” which you may find in the urban dictionary because it is informal as well. Again, it is improper word choice. However, my point being made is that you should come off your high horse and go elsewhere with your judgemental comments. Yes, I may have critiqued your writing. However, I do so to show you that no one group is better than another. No one person is better than another. Stereotypes are part of the problem in this world. People trying to put other people down for their own pleasure is also distasteful. This is not intended to bring you down. It is intended to point out that everyone has flaws so don’t be so quick to judge.
October 18, 2019 @ 5:52 am
BG Fan, the article judges Brantley Gilbert, his poor performance, and the damage it does to country music to have such a terrible display on a national stage. I am sorry you are so blinded by this guy that you cannot accept that he put on a very bad and cliched performance. As Tyler Childers said: “It doesn’t hurt my feelings if you listen to shitty country music. That’s your fault.”
October 18, 2019 @ 6:58 am
BG STAN since your blind obsession of BG brought you here why don’t you actually check out the content on this web site. A lot of great country music versus the bro country aka pop that your boy is offering you. Cody Jinks dropped a new record today.. check it out and you’ll finally understand what country music sounds like.
October 18, 2019 @ 7:27 am
Lmao we’ll quit picking on him when he stops marketing his music as country.
October 16, 2019 @ 12:47 pm
Saw the game but not the halftime “show”. Good decision.
Brantley G. (+ his band, his sound, his voice, his “stage presence”)…an aging caricature of himself.
October 16, 2019 @ 1:38 pm
Saw and heard him at a free street concert in Nashville last week. I want my money back!
October 16, 2019 @ 1:43 pm
No thanks — I’ll take your word for it. I refuse to add to that view count.
October 16, 2019 @ 1:45 pm
Unfortunatley it hasn’t stopped him selling out concerts. How can over 9500 people be into listening to this crap?
https://www.9news.com/article/entertainment/music/colorado-music/overwhelming-demand-forces-brantley-gilbert-to-add-additional-red-rocks-concert/73-5ee8d560-8e95-41db-84de-05d109bbc401
October 16, 2019 @ 2:03 pm
It’s amazing to see how he has destroyed his grassroots following in the process- his first two records sold 1 million units each, and the first one came out a year before he had a hit on the radio. Now the guy is a shadow of his former self, which is saying something considering how bad he was to begin with.
October 17, 2019 @ 7:12 am
His first album is pretty decent. Inoffensive but good country music. His second album where he starts affecting that voice… is actually pretty good too! Like Hell on Wheels is definitely more rock than country but its actually a pretty great song. But once Halfway To Heaven got re-released with four bro country singles tacked on it was over for him.
October 16, 2019 @ 2:18 pm
The brass knuckle microphone is pretty hilarious
October 16, 2019 @ 2:22 pm
Extra credit for the Van Halen 5150 Peavey stacks the “Dreadlocked Wonder” is pretending to play through. Very unimpressive guitar solo too, from turkey feather in hat dude, I might add. Posers of the lowest kind. Brass knuckle mic…haha ..nice BG.
October 16, 2019 @ 2:28 pm
The Fred Durst of mainstream country
October 17, 2019 @ 6:45 am
That is a perfect comparison. Two losers with zero talent.
October 17, 2019 @ 7:12 am
Fred Durst is an American Treas…nm I can’t even joke about it with a straight face…
October 16, 2019 @ 3:22 pm
The song isn’t really any worse or better than anything else he’s done, but I know he’s capable of much better live vocals than this. I have to wonder if he wasn’t experiencing vocal issues of some kind? And the placement of their performance was pretty lame. Seriously, nobody could get their hands on an elevated stage for a Monday Night Football halftime show? I’ve seen student unions put more effort into gigs just for enrollment week.
October 16, 2019 @ 3:49 pm
The whole thing felt half cocked, with Brantley Gilbert or otherwise. They were basically playing to the empty field in front of them.
October 16, 2019 @ 6:24 pm
If you’ve seen these ” Genesis halftime shows” before, they’re all really weird. They never feel like traditional “halftime performances” in the vein of what you’d get during the Super Bowl or even the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving.
Some of them are like these pre-taped music videos that look like car commercials. Others seem to be taped at off-site venues. The ones that actually take place in the stadium are also positioned in a weird way; The Chainsmokers & Kelsea Ballerini’s performance is like taking place in the 200 section of the stands.
I don’t want to knock the concept too much, as it’s obviously not super serious and HAS moved the needle in some cases (The Chainsmokers & Kelsea and Blink-182 both received huge sales boosts after their shows), but it’s lame if you’re expecting anything approximating a fun performance.
October 16, 2019 @ 3:37 pm
I had heard of his name before, but had not yet heard his music or really knew what he looked like. I recall walking back into the room mid song. I was asking, is this supposed to be shitty country or shitty rock. Either way it is f’ing no good.
October 16, 2019 @ 3:47 pm

U know i have. Been too several Brantley Gilbert concerts an i don’t know where any of you people are from but honestly if u were watching the game an fans of either the lions who have been losers forever an the packers who do nothing but fail when faced with big games Brantley was the. Best part of that show an honest if u don’t like Brantley then keep his name out of your mouth
October 16, 2019 @ 4:52 pm
You obviously had not completed the 3rd grade in Mayberry RFD.
October 16, 2019 @ 5:10 pm
We know that’s you, Lil Dale. You aren’t fooling anyone.
October 16, 2019 @ 8:28 pm
F*** you and everything you like sucks.
October 17, 2019 @ 7:14 am
This fake tough guy act is lame when obviously you arent gonna do anything to anyone who doesnt “keep his name out of their mouth”. But its kinda obvious why fake tough guy brantley gilbert would appeal to the internets fake tough guys.
October 17, 2019 @ 10:18 am
And. The word you are looking for is and. That’s a conjunction that links a sentence together, “an” is an indefinite article that makes no sense in the way you used it.
October 16, 2019 @ 4:08 pm
Thank God for Hank Jr……by himself in the opening. I have skipped half time shows this year since the first week of NFL. Cannot take the chance.
October 16, 2019 @ 8:21 pm
Wait, they took Jason DeRulo and FGL out of the intro theme? I haven’t been keeping up
October 16, 2019 @ 4:10 pm
This article is just as bad as the dolphins season this year. Thank you for the hilarious read.
October 16, 2019 @ 4:30 pm
I was wondering if this would come up as a topic. I didn’t know who the guy was so I watched and it was horrible. If that’s what is on “country” radio these days I’ll stick to streaming the real stuff.
October 16, 2019 @ 4:39 pm
I seen Brantly in concert and the guy is awesome..He knows how to put on a show. Maybe he was having a bad night and probably tired from all the touring..Or maybe some don’t know country and would rather have some telling rapper or rock band that you can understand a word they are saying..
October 17, 2019 @ 8:50 pm
I would politely suggest that if you think Brantley Gilbert’s music is country, perhaps it is you who doesn’t know what country music is.
October 16, 2019 @ 5:02 pm
I’d rather listen to my dog.
October 16, 2019 @ 5:20 pm
I am from his hometown and i like him he’s just a good old outlaw kind of guy.
Genuine kind of guy you like his muisc or you don’t.
His net worth is 15 mill . how much are you worth?
How albums have you sold .
Just saying …..
October 16, 2019 @ 6:17 pm
What the actual fuck does his net worth have to do with anything? ????????
October 17, 2019 @ 7:16 am
If there is one thing emblematic of being a genuine outlaw its defining quality country music by the net worth of the artist.
October 16, 2019 @ 5:52 pm
I have seen Brantley Gilbert in concert he was really good and entertaining he puts on a real good show that halftime show does not give him justice
October 16, 2019 @ 5:58 pm
I have been to 4 shows of Brantley Gilbert’s he is amazing yall don’t know what you are talking about he is an amazing singer song writer get on his level he is the one making the big bucks not yall it’s 2019 not 1960 yes Johnny Cash was amazing but we are in a whole different decade get on his level or leave his name out your mouth BG NATION all the freakin way
October 16, 2019 @ 6:58 pm
This comment was pure cancer. Again, I’m sure absolutely no one here could give a shit less about how much money he makes/has.
October 16, 2019 @ 8:36 pm
My real concern, after reading these comments, is the education level of BG fans. You are entitled to like what you like, but he is bad. That is not up for debate. He is not a good singer/songwriter. His performance was laughable. This is fact. You like bad music and there is nothing wrong with that.
October 16, 2019 @ 9:16 pm
Bachelor of Earth Science in Petroleum Engineering with a double minor in Arts and Physics from a State university, 1 year left till my Masters. I’m also a Latina. Does that help you out bozo?
October 17, 2019 @ 4:33 am
NO!
October 17, 2019 @ 9:15 am
No.
October 16, 2019 @ 7:16 pm
You guys don’t know what your talking about. Brantley Gilbert is more of a real down to earth, not afraid to be who he is kinda person. And what’s with having a halftime show on the 20 yard line. Looks like you didn’t want to give a good ole Georgia boy any room.
October 16, 2019 @ 11:06 pm
If this good ole Georgia boy were playing actual country music instead of doing half-baked hair-band homages and calling them country, or if he’d just be honest and admit that he’s a Southern rock artist and not country, maybe we would give him some room.
October 17, 2019 @ 7:17 am
If he is so real why is he faking that voice? You know his first album is available where he isnt doing that?
October 17, 2019 @ 2:20 pm
That doesn’t paint the state of Georgia in a real positive light. It seems that state has flooded the genre with act after act of frat-bro trash like this. Luke Combs is the only decent mainstream artist Georgia has produced in this young century.
October 17, 2019 @ 5:13 pm
Luke Combs is from a North Carolina … check your facts! This entire article is laughable. I honestly thought it was satire until I started reading the ignorant comments.
October 19, 2019 @ 5:52 am
Okay, so I stand corrected in Luke Combs. My apologies. However, my original premise stands. The state of Georgia is notorious for putting out this kind of tripe over the past decade. The state that gave us Alan Jackson is giving us this trash. Seriously, Georgia. What happened??
October 17, 2019 @ 5:31 pm
Luke Combs is from North Carolina.
October 16, 2019 @ 7:43 pm
Absolutely love Brantley! I read some of the comments saying he needs to ditch his “rock look” & be his self well sorry yall but thats who he is! He’s not everyones cup of tea & I’m sure he’s 100% fine with that!
October 16, 2019 @ 8:38 pm
Ok
October 16, 2019 @ 8:01 pm
I feel like the stans that showed up are all the same person using different user names. Oh and BG sucks.
October 17, 2019 @ 2:55 am
Yeah, and it pisses me off that most of them are “Tracy.” At this point I am going to have to legally change my name. I cannot be lumped in with anyone who actually believes Brantley Gilbert is good!!!
October 17, 2019 @ 6:54 am
Wow, there are a lot of “Tracy” commenters! You might want to add an initial, a number, something to differentiate yourself. Feel your pain…
October 18, 2019 @ 5:36 am
Tracy please change your name please !!!! You think you sound cool because you don’t !!!!! You really sound immature and like most FAKE people . Are you trying to fit in with the other fake people because if so you are so, in there !!!! Oh , and another thing you won’t mention what you listen to because , you Tracy don’t want no one making comments on how terrible your music is . It’s probably Taylor Swift or a nasty rapper that like singing about sex , violence, and treating women like hoes and bitches ..
October 18, 2019 @ 6:06 am
You just played into the “dumb girl” demographic. You just proved everyone’s point in this comments section. Congrats.
Also, most people who read SCM come here for recommendations on good music. We don’t listen to Taylor Swift or rap. Nor do we listen to Brantley Gilbert. That performance was an embarrassment. If you thought it was good, that’s on you. I feel sorry for you. Maybe instead of getting on here and trying to defend BG you should go through the past articles and look up some music that isn’t just a bro country cliche.
October 18, 2019 @ 7:31 am
Tracy Bosier,
Here is a quote from a great country artist,
“It doesn’t hurt my feelings if you listen to shitty country music. That’s your fault.”
– Tyler Childers
Since your shitty taste in country music brought you to this web site might as well take a look around at the other articles and discover some great county music.. why not start with Tyler Childers himself!
October 18, 2019 @ 10:36 am
I took your advice and listen to Tyler Childers . Now that guy sounds pretty bad I just played his video for a few minutes and had to go vomit . Thank you but no Thank you i will stick to Brantley Gilbert music .
October 18, 2019 @ 10:58 am
Tracy B: this is a web site dedicated to true country music, and Tyler Childers is the embodiment of that. If his music makes you want to vomit, and you prefer Brantley Gilbert, you have 100% proven yourself to be exactly what we all knew you were to begin with. You, and Brantley Gilbert, are caricatures. He’s a bro country relic and you’re the sad demographic he panders to.
October 18, 2019 @ 11:36 am
lol If you didn’t like it then I refer you back to the quote. A lot of people like pop and bro country.
October 17, 2019 @ 12:11 pm
I felt the same way reading through them! So many say the same thing. “I seent him blah blah times, hes reel gr8 blah blah.”
Look, it’s their prerogative (that means right for you BG fans) to like his music if they want, just like it’s mine to not. I, for one, have never listened to a song of his that I remotely enjoy. His voice has never settled well with me.
I just find it a shame that that’s what the NFL is putting out there as far as a halftime show. Piss poor execution all around. Even if I liked the music, the production quality was low, the placement was weird, literally none of it worked.
October 16, 2019 @ 8:09 pm
I can’t believe what I’m reading!!! Brantley Gilbert should be the one complaining about the fact he had to perform on the sideline and not in the field like a normal band. That’s why it sounded so terrible. You people need to pull your heads out your ass and be realistic!!! I didn’t see you performing on the sideline
October 16, 2019 @ 8:50 pm
I love Brantley Gilbert and Cody Jinks This song choice maybe was the problem.His music is great.
October 16, 2019 @ 9:03 pm
Brantley Gilbert and the NFL, a deserving match made in hell.
October 17, 2019 @ 3:42 am
Don’t Say ANYTHING about the NFL fool! Maybe not a Country music fan or Sports fan but leave Pro Football out of your assessment!
October 16, 2019 @ 9:04 pm
I thought it was good. ????????????
October 16, 2019 @ 9:17 pm
It wouldn’t have been nearly as bad if he didn’t sound like he was trying to hold in a coughing fit the whole time.
October 16, 2019 @ 9:26 pm
At least country music is showing up on this type of stage. Gives hope for a kane brown/sam hunt superbowel halftime show in future
October 16, 2019 @ 11:58 pm
10/10 troll comment. Well done.
October 16, 2019 @ 9:30 pm
Brantley Gilbert has a great soul and is definitely more of song writer and singer . Then the rest of the country ,pop , and rap singers that are so fake !!!!Just like football players are all fake it came to be about money . But , most people like fake any more . So, you all can say what you want to say about BG because ,it isn’t going to stop him . Oh , thats right hi isnt like Lady gaga in the superbowl that sucked big time imfact most halftime suck exspecialy at halftime super bowel !!!!!
October 16, 2019 @ 10:25 pm
Does any one know he just finished three nights of concerts Thursday, Friday and Saturday – but I’m sure you all could do better. He was awesome Saturday night – so I say give him some slack – as least he wasnt half naked or popping out boobs
October 16, 2019 @ 10:28 pm
If you don’t like it fine, but please send your attempts at singing to all of us so we can all sit here and tear you apart anonymously like the cowards you have been. This is the problem with the internet, everyone hides behind it and thinks they can rip each other apart. Everyone thinks they know it all, but only when they are hiding, and can be cowardly. Its disgusting.
October 17, 2019 @ 2:38 am
I never know what kind of fallacy this is. Is it just a Red Herring, or maybe it is better described as Vacuous Truth? A little bit of Appeal to Emotion, maybe?
Anyway–Miranda, if you can get us on an MNF halftime show I will get you the contact info for our booker and then after our appearance you can tear us apart all you want.
October 17, 2019 @ 8:04 am
I often hear this lame argument offered for professional athletes who perform poorly. “Could you do better?”
No, I couldn’t. But the guy on the field is being paid MILLIONS of dollars to catch footballs and it’s perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to do it, even if I’m a gimpy old guy who couldn’t play in the NFL.
Likewise, if someone is being paid to play music the people listening are not disqualified from having an opinion simply because they’re not professional musicians. You don’t have to be a Grammy-winning artist to know good music from bad.
October 17, 2019 @ 2:23 pm
I just farted. Does that count, Miranda??
October 17, 2019 @ 7:11 pm
It appears to mostly be guys who are posting the negative comments about Brantley, did your girlfriends tell you that he is hotter than you? Jealously is an ugly look on anyone. He is a good person in addition to being a good performer which is why people pay good money to see him play, a crap attitude gets you nowhere.
October 24, 2019 @ 5:33 pm
That was an idiotic reply. I honestly hope no one is by your side to hold your hand when you die, Miranda.
October 25, 2019 @ 12:08 pm
Oh boo hoo Mike apparently your an uggo. Wanna talk about stupid comments, re-read yours and there you go. Wishing death upon someone is a healthy response from someone who apparently has alot of mental health issues. You must be a wannabe redneck, probably just a lardass behind a computer. Are you going to chase me on your rascal? You brought the bitch out. And I can be really mean.
October 16, 2019 @ 10:39 pm
Whoever wrote this article is the worst writer ever! What kind of weak snowflake wrote this POS? You can’t be country and and not like Brantley Gilbert. This article is an embarrassment! ????
October 17, 2019 @ 4:04 am
The article is great.
By the way, you might want to try to get word to your boy Brantley, to keep his hand away from his dick, at least while he is on the air, or at one of his performances.
Someone representing country, knows better
October 17, 2019 @ 5:47 pm
“You can’t be country and and not like Brantley Gilbert.”
So what you’re saying (apart from your doubling of the word “and”) is: country music didn’t exist before Brantley Gilbert? Hank Williams, the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, George Strait, Alabama, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, and Charley Pride were what, then? Swahili death metal polka trap performers? Boy, you learn something new every day.
By the way, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn and Merle Haggard are hardly “snowflake” music.
October 17, 2019 @ 12:09 am
Personally I’d much rather hear the rock side of country than the pop/hip-hop. First time I’ve stumbled on this article and I like the idea of calling todays country what its not, “country”. I knew BG when he was trying to make it and the one thing I can say is he hasn’t changed…good for him for that. I still perfer Corey Smith but that’s just me. While I’m offering up opinions why won’t country music radio give Jamie Johnson his props and play his music more often, now there is a hell of a song writer and a good singer in my opinion. Probably a big reason I’m paying for radio today because todays FM country, for the most part, no longer appeals to me.
October 17, 2019 @ 1:37 am
I want my 02:33 seconds back.
October 17, 2019 @ 3:17 am
Brantley is great entertaine, he’s country and rock the best of both worlds. If you don’t like his music don’t bash him change the station. BG all way baby
October 17, 2019 @ 8:49 am
I totally agree. BG all the way.
October 17, 2019 @ 3:36 am
I listen to a “Top-five” country radio station—you know the kind where you seem to hear the same song every hour throughout the day—and this was no better, nor any worse, than the stuff I hear all day long. The thing that struck me about this performance was the pitiful! Inexcusable way it was staged. The people responsible for this should find other work. It excruciating and embarrassing to watch, and I couldn’t wait for it to be over.
October 17, 2019 @ 3:38 am
I don’t know who wrote the article, but clearly they have no concept of country or its progression. Brantley has wrote songs for years for artists like colt ford, Jason aldean, Kenny chesney and more. The new only reason he and others like him haven’t hit atmosphere like levels sooner is because they did sell out to someone else’s sounds and now its his time. BG, Eric Church and those like them deserve better than the NFL. Them playing country, (Americas music) for the NFL which is decidedly anti America lately was a gesture of good faith by us basically loaning them one of ours amid the bottomless pit of poppy shit they’ve been playing was like the equivalent of sleeping with your sisters ugly friend because you feel bad that she’ll never get any any other way.. So your welcome NFL for the pity fuck you are.
October 17, 2019 @ 9:49 am
So, Trig is probably one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to country music. I don’t think you have a clear concept of what country music is. The part that irks me the most about your comments, and many others, is the “He’s a badass!” “He is pro America” “”He is too real”. This man is wearing clothes that look like he bought them from the gas station, brass knuckles, and rapping in a fake stupid voice. I am assuming you are a conservative and BG panders to your base. I am a conservative too, but I really don’t want to be grouped with people like you.
Also, Eric Church is nothing like BG, and I honestly think he’d be offended by your suggestion. And if you don’t think BG is pop, then I really don’t know what to tell you.
October 17, 2019 @ 3:57 am
Your just a hatin lil bitch obviously u kno nothing about BG if you’ve ever read any of his interviews or heard any of his other country rock style songs youde know this is just who he is and every album he writes is based around wats happening in his life but obviously even if he’s a huge family man know an album has to have songs that get everyone up out there seats but youde rather hate on the next man like a lil bitch instead of worrying bout the success in ur own life keep ur eyes off another man’s plate and worry about wats on yours your parents must of raised u to be a nosey worry bout wat everyone else is doing lil bitch so u don’t gotta focus on the shit that u haven’t done with your life somebody should create a website called savingjournalism and roast your disrespectful ass
October 17, 2019 @ 8:54 am
I agree with you ????. I am not a young girl at all in fact my son is older than BG but I think he is one of the best country singers out there. I love his music.
October 17, 2019 @ 12:38 pm
Youde be the lil bitch. Wat youde hav to say bout dat! U b bitchin like u dream bout gobblin Gilbert gonads. yo bro sup.
October 17, 2019 @ 6:21 pm
I would love to see a savingjournalism site. Pretty sure Trigger would be their pinnacle writer for well researched, balanced, informative articles.
And if there was a ‘savingcomments’ site, you, sir, would fail on the basic levels of spelling and sentence structure.
October 18, 2019 @ 5:37 am
Lol my spelling and structure is only fucked up wen I use my phone using an actual computer keyboard everything is proper lol sup trav
October 24, 2019 @ 5:35 pm
Daniel, I am betting that you, like most Brantley Gilbert fans, have never filed an income tax return before.
October 25, 2019 @ 6:32 am
Mike actually b4 my back and neck went to Shit and I started losing feeling in my hands and feet and walking with a cane I used to work construction and carpentry like most brantley Gilbert fans lmao
October 17, 2019 @ 6:09 am
That song is not good.
That performance is not good.
The whole thing is sad, really. I’m embarrassed for them.
October 17, 2019 @ 6:50 am
The fact that people are showing up in the comments of SCM “reppin BG nation to the fullest!!” is all anyone would need to know about the state of mainstream country music.
October 17, 2019 @ 6:51 am
Based on the comments, we know he has the dumb girl demographic sewn up. If you get them in your corner, you’re sure to be a star.
October 17, 2019 @ 7:00 am
I’m a big country music fan and also a Detroit Lions fan.
Monday night was a bit rough.
October 17, 2019 @ 7:09 am
I love most of BG, however, this was one of those songs that I didn’t care for. I understand he needs some amp up songs but he’s capable of being such a good writer. His albums always have hidden gems. Hope to get a review of his latest!
October 17, 2019 @ 7:57 am
I’ll listen to him any day of the week before I’ll listen to the garbage by Dan &Shay. Sam Hunt and their ilk !!
October 18, 2019 @ 2:48 am
Well shit, that bar of yours is set fairly low.
October 17, 2019 @ 8:37 am
BG is fantastic. I absolutely live to watch him perform. Face it country music is not what is was back when I was a teenager. It has changed just like everything else in this world. I am not a young person at all (60) and to me BG is one of the best country music singers out there. Keep doing what you’re doing BG. You’re amazing.
October 17, 2019 @ 8:39 am
BG was awesome in concert. Love most of his songs. He should have done Not Like Us, though. Fire it up not one of my favorites. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I happen to like anything heart felt (most of his songs) or gets me moving, like old country and some new country. He does A lot of work and gives a lot of time with veterans. Where he got most of One Hell Of Am Amen and Man Of Steel. The terminology he uses, he gets from talking to vets. He’s A good guy enjoys writing and singing, kinda sucks he’s getting bashed because he’s not what ppl think he should be. Just my thought though
October 17, 2019 @ 8:52 am
Brantley Gilbert: the fakest bad ass dude in country music history! I bet the bad ass can’t use a hammer, drive a tractor or motorcycle, play guitar, read, think, fix household issues, use lawn equipment, repair a vehicle, hit a baseball, etc. I think you get the picture. The dude is empty and his music is pure garbage. I have seen him live… he sucks…he could not carry Whitey Morgan’s empty guitar case…
October 17, 2019 @ 8:59 am
He is one of the best country singers out there. People need to accept the fact that country music like everything else has changed since the 60’s. I’m 60 years old so I know what country was back in the day. I like it much better now. It makes me smile unlike the 60’s country that made me want to cry in my beer…????
October 17, 2019 @ 9:42 am
What moron wrote this?
October 17, 2019 @ 9:59 am
Whose *#*% needs to be sucked to get Wheeler Walker Jr. to play the super bowl or a championship game half time?
Now THAT would be a show my friends.
October 17, 2019 @ 10:15 am
So what was wrong with that performance I thought it was good. Don’t say it was bad just because you don’t like the music. Plus it you didn’t like it blame the people who booked him he did what he was meant to do simple as that.well done BG and awesome album.
October 17, 2019 @ 11:42 am
Coming from half of you that probably are used to listening to halsey and autotuned performers. Now if this sounded more robotic you all would like it. I could light up and cig and have a glass of whiskey to this! Raw as heck. You guys need a life. Go listen to some of his music that you are bypassing him on. Starters you promised one hell of a amen saving amy. Great job BG.
October 17, 2019 @ 6:36 pm
I don’t think you understand what the followers of this site are all about.
October 17, 2019 @ 12:23 pm
I have never heard of him, I am a rocker, song was good, guitars , drums, banjo were good, I was impressed, usually I hear a country song and turn it off. If you had a problem with the dreads, Mohawk, whatever else, look in the mirror, you might be racist. They did nothing wrong for you to pick out those things. Great job, Brantley!
October 17, 2019 @ 12:39 pm
Well, I disagree with you on this, Trigger. While obviously not to everyone’s taste, I enjoyed that song. A good rockin’, get you blood up, get ready for football type of song.
October 17, 2019 @ 1:43 pm
I saw BG live Saturday night and it was a great show. Also he just finished his tour so he sounds like he needs to rest the vocals a little bit. I would see him again live.
October 17, 2019 @ 2:12 pm
Watching the LSU/Florida game last weekend, I noted that the intro music played as the temas re-entered after halftime was Sam Hunt’s “Kinfolk”. It was a quick hit, but it was there. I don’t care. The term “country music” has been pilfered and applied to not an “evolved” form of country music, but a new genre which was in need of a label, and the “country’ label was the easiest to take.
I was at peace, as I had just a few days before saw Aaron Tippin, Sammy Kershaw, and Collin Raye at the Cumming, GA Fair – all together singing “Vidalia” and many of their other songs. The crowd was quite large, and totally supportive. It was great.
October 17, 2019 @ 5:43 pm
I can’t believe you call yourself a journalist. You have the right to your opinion but you don’t need to be disrespectful. Calling people who like Brantley “lug heads” is very childish and rude. I’ve seen him in concert twice and met him once. His shows are high energy and the best I’ve been to. He’s just a normal person, not full of himself at all. You, on the other hand, seem like an asshole.
October 17, 2019 @ 9:11 pm
Hey Trigger, I know BG is not your taste, and is not for most who follow your website, and I do follow. I am a traditionalist at heart 100%. I was curious what you thought of BGs new album as a whole. Fire & Brimstone the album isnt horrible, the song that features Krauss & Johnson by the same name is also not terrible. I know its more of a rock ballad than country but for me its just a good song. I admit MNF wasn’t amazing, but I do think its a far cry from FGL singing everywhere they could with BEBE Rexha last year. BG has some hits and misses for me in his career, but I do feel like he has a bit of authenticity, not manufactured as much as FGL or horrible Thomas Rhett. Just a bit of my own opinion but I’ll take George Strait, Cash, Willie, Church & Stapleton over BG any day, but I do think there is something to BG. BG isn’t tricking people like Kane Brown with album manipulation, BG earned a real following writes every song, which says a little for me. Not trying to get into a huge argument here, just curious Trigger on your views on the new album. Also fantastic website, I send your articles and webpage to everyone I know. Thanks.
October 17, 2019 @ 10:25 pm
I have reviewed Brantley Gilbert records before and given him credit for the quality songs he usually includes. His new record is on my radar and I may post a review for it. Thanks for reading.
October 17, 2019 @ 9:16 pm
Thank you !!! Unlike some artist atleast He writes his music and from his own lied experience . so hes not everyone’s cup of tea that’s fine but he has loyal fans so he must be doing something right .
October 18, 2019 @ 12:28 am
I have listened to all the naysayers down a man who walks the walk he talks for years. Y’all need to live the “biker/country” life, and maybe you will understand where he/we come from, and what country REALLY IS today.
October 18, 2019 @ 5:52 am
So for everyone not understanding why Brantley Gilbert are defending him, I’ll go ahead and do it. #1 Brantley is actually in a separate genre of country called Country Rock. Country pop is the Florida Georgia line, Dan and day bs, than real country is what u get from Luke combs, Lucas Nelson, Chris Stapleton. Brantley Gilbert started off young and had a alcohol addiction along with other problems. If you listen to this song it’s simply about having a good times. If you look at interviews or any forums on him he actually makes albums as if they were chapters to his life. I challenge any of these shit talkers to listen to just as I am, One hell of an Amen, play me that song, modern day prodigal son, saving amy, halfway to heaven, Indiana’s angel, three feet of water, fire and brimstone, bad boy, man that hung the moon, AND THERES MORE. So instead of being some one that hides behind a keyboard to express what they “think” is right, maybe u should sit back and listen to him y’all about his music and than listen to his music. Listen to any of those songs I’ve named and u won’t be saying the same thing you are now. Aerosmith got booed off a stage before and look what they are now.
October 20, 2019 @ 2:45 pm
Amen Robbie!!!! There are alot of artists I have seen that were opening acts for artists I had tickets to see and listened to them to see if maybe the live music would change my mind, Luke Combs is a good example. I am really not a fan but he was touring with BG of all people and I listened to him but I just am not a fan, and the public hair on his face really doesn’t help him any. But I didn’t go on my Twitter or Facebook and rip him apart in my summary of the concert, I never even mentioned him. Mature adults don’t have to tear each other down.
October 18, 2019 @ 7:13 am
I have to agree.
October 18, 2019 @ 11:01 am
Well he’s actually Southern Rock not Country. So y’all can go to hell. Best musician in the business. Especially when it comes to his fans.
#BGNATION
October 18, 2019 @ 1:38 pm
Ok yea , someone that sings about cocaine and womanizing . Yea that’s true country right there dumbass and you call yourself woman . You must like the old country songs like for instance getting drunk having affairs. . Thats why i didnt lile country music in the first place so Melissa W and Tracy . Brantley Gilbert sings about the lady he married and now has two beautiful children with and has faith in our Lord and Jesus Christ!!!!!Plus he is a ordained minister. So, whatever you both say don’t mean crap to me. You don’t know him . So, yes I will defend a brother in Christ !!!! Thank you very much .
October 18, 2019 @ 2:42 pm
Yep, I am sure the Lord is proud of these lyrics:
Damn girl I gotta tip my hat
Never thought a country song would make you move like that yeah
And she’s doing it in daisy dukes
Girl she’s got ya tappin’ on a boys shoulder
Hey dog check this out
And that’s how girl do it in the dirty south yeah
October 18, 2019 @ 3:59 pm
I think trigger wrote a crappy article. I read his bio, poor guy wants credit for things he didn’t do.
BG is a great artist and so fucking down to earth. And his publicity team are awesome. I had tickets to his show and had won a meet and greet with him except somehow it was for the wrong concert, and I wrote his publicist and told them what happened, and told them that I wasn’t sure I was going to the concert because my grandmother was in Hospice passing away, and the head of Hospice stayed with her so I could go and then made me go, so I emailed his publicity team again and they left everything for me at Will Call. And he was the most genuinely nice person I ever met.
October 18, 2019 @ 4:22 pm
I think Trigger is far more accomplished than you know.

The dude can sing. So what he had an off day. People just can’t be happy for him. I have all of his records. The dude just do anything bad. The guy is country rock. If you don’t like then don’t listen to him is that simple.

Brantley Gilbert is the country music equivalent of the Insane Clown Posse…and peoplewho run around screaming “Bee Gee nAYsHuN” are country music’s equivalent of the juggalos

I was only able to watch about 10 seconds of that crap before a little lump began to form in my throat; I thought I was going to spew chunks at the screen. Nothing about that was country music and very little of it would be considered music by anyone over the age of 30. Screaming rhymes into the microphone while grabbing your crotch and jumping around might be entertainment for school kids these days but most adults have grown beyond jungle gyms and play ground antics – unless you are in a bro-country band.

In what Universe is this country? I know al the arguments saying country music needs to evolve, well it has evolved, just not into country. Where is the country in this, is it the banjo?
And lets be honest, the guy doesn’t have a voice at all.
Country music will and always has evolved, the trouble is when it evolves into another genre and leaves all aspects of country behind, it is no longer country.

Just my opinion. I grew up listening to Garthe Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, and always my Reba! I still own a Pure Country dvd. But I do not agree with you. I’m sorry that Country has changed over time. It has in all music. Brantley Gilbert is a great artist that should be respected.. Not only as a person but an artist. That was the only half time show that was live. Afak.

Brantley Gilbert has always struck me as 90% rock music and 10% country music. How Florida Georgia Line is twangy pop, Gilbert is like twangy hard rock. I would not say that his music is necessarily bad, but it is not quite country in most circumstances. I find it interesting that he was chosen to play at the halftime show in lieu of other artists. Perhaps the NFL did not want to risk going “full country” so they opted for a guy with a more blended sound that way it would not alienate folks. However, it seems like that may have backfired, as certain country fans are not happy with Gilbert and non-country/southern rock fans probably have no clue and desire to hear his music. A classic case of trying to make everyone happy making everyone unhappy.
