- Joe Rogan and Chris Stapleton talk about Garth Brooks and the time he attempted to create an alter ego called Chris Gaines.
Taken from Joe Rogan Experience #1049.
I'm the guy that managed to track down the Chris Gaines NBC Special and the Chris Gaines VH1 Behind the Music and put them on the internet back in 2012 and 2014. It was near impossible to find because they only aired once on TV and only existed on a few VHS tapes, so you're welcome America. Chris Gaines is the best undiscovered meme on the internet.
I just watched that video and it's was very informative
Where can i find them now?
you're a true American hero. I don't think they're on UA-cam anymore, though. At least not in full.
You are my hero
Thank you for your Service
I'm a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude.
What do you mean you people?

Lost In You is a phenomenal song. Garths vocals are so velvety smooth on the song.
That album is a actually a great album. Absolutely underrated.
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Stapleton is so sweet. I love him.
I give Garth credit for going outside his box and trying something different, he had one song that was really good on the Gaines album.
Hearing Joe say, "Hey, what was that guy smoking?" is hilarious.
People forget just how big Garth Brooks was in the 90s because he retired in 2001 so he could be around for his daughters as they grew up, which I respected the hell out of, and you didn't hear anything about or from him really until the last few years. Garth is the biggest selling solo artist in US music history, a country singer, has sold more albums that Michael Jackson or Elvis in this country, he trails only The Beatles in album sales and he really did it all from 1989-2001. Garth had good songs ofcourse but his concerts are what really blew him up, they were amazing. Maybe the best trip of my life was when I was 20 and me, my gf, and our closest friends drove almost 12 hours on August 7th 1997 to see his concert in central park, New York City. We thought their may be 200,000 people max show up there, instead it was right at a million people, to see a country singer in New York City, that's when I knew just how big he actually was. That might be the biggest concert ever in the US. I remember these big New York guys crying their eyes out and singing with him to his song The Dance, that image has stuck with me for almost 23 years, amazing concert, amazing artist!!!
thats an amazing story
I actually LOVE the Chris Gaines album. The vocals are exquisite.
you should probably get an MRI because thats not healthy and there could be something seriously wrong
@@Loomismusic Do you enjoy riding the bandwagon?
Yes the album is very good
It sucked but I can understand why some folks may like it. It’s subjective.
@@Rick-C-117 checkout this dumbass
I would listen to Chris Stapleton sing literally anything. He could sing the annoying song billion times back-to-back, and I would be there for all of it. He, Tyler Childers, and Colter Wall are my favorite country artists of all time.
Probably the most real guest joe has ever had on the podcast! Chriss Stapleton is the truth!!
Chris Stapleton, I love you! So talented and humble. I love Morgane as well. Country GOLD!
Chris Gaines' Lost in You was actually a good song
It's an amazing song
Agreed
Way of the Girl was pretty good too
It really is tho!
The whole album was great. Fuck you Rogan. Try writing a song and then we'll talk.
The Chris Gaines album was actually great and showcases GBs talent and versatility.
The music and the performance on that Chris Gaines cd is incredible. That’s what the cd is about. Not a wig. You ought to listen to it.
“I don’t want to control people’s... thing.”
- Christopher Stapleton
The CD was amazing!! I love Chris Gaines!!
I gotta say Chris S is one wonderful human being. He’s so down to earth and relatable. He didn’t/ doesn’t let the fame and fortune ruin him. If you met him in the street and didn’t know him you could talk to him for hours and never know he’s a multimillionaire. I find that to be the greatest quality a human can possess.
Absolutely man I’m just going through old JRE episodes right now and finished this Stapleton one. Everything you’d expect him to be guy is so genuine
Garth Brooks is a super versatile talent!!!!
I remember McDonald’s giving away Chris Gaines cd’s.
@@houstonjimmy2968 I’m calling BULLSHIT
@Aaron Zupet McDonald’s actually did that?! I wish they still did that on a lot of CDs
The Gaines thing could have been a massive success. I love it. Chris Stapleton is right. It was supposed to be a movie called The Lamb. Garth was to play Chris. Creative and financial differences are to blame for it not happening. It did wind up blowing up in Garths face big time but he is NOT to blame for it. Listen to his vocals on the album. Incredible
meh average singer
@@TheJpep2424 Have you listened to Lost In You
I agree it’s actually a masterful album and I’m not even a Garth Brooks fan. My ears where just happy when I heard it 🤷🏾♀️
@@TheJpep2424average of you don’t understand music or vocals, which you CLEARLY don’t.
As a Hispanic kid from NY, I was not into country music… for whatever reason I bought the Chris Gaines album at Virgin megastore with my allowance. 😂 I loved it and then I never looked back. I even learned to play the banjo. Garth Brooks rules
Chris stapleton s just the SHIT!!! I got to see him in concert in des moines iowa my hometown and just killed it!!! I love him and I had the best night ever at his concert!!!
That Chris Gaines album was actually pretty good but people have closed minds when people step outside of their concept of who they want you to be.
I like it more then 90% of what Garth has done.... Im Being honest 🤷♂️
.... I loved this album .... It came at the exact right time in my life ... I knew every word and sang those songs like they were my own songs .... at the time I had never heard of Garth Brooks so al this is blowing my mind x
The way Chris laughed when he brought up Chris Gaines. 😂 He has prior knowledge of this crime.
Way to go Chris on checking Joe. The Chris Gaines experiment was something that anyone with a brain appreciates.
I loved the Chris Gaines album. I listened to it all the time!
Garth Brooks in... The Life of Chris Gaines peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200
I remember being a kid and being so confused as to how and why this Chris Gaines dude appeared
David Bowie did Ziggy Stardust, I feel like this was along this guise. He took a risk, and had the balls to try something else. The album on it's own was great but his general audience likely hade a hard time with it
exactly
You can tell Chris is an intelligent dude by the way speaks! Really nice guy! Like him and Joe a lot
He was his High School Valedictorian. Fact.
i don't like joe, but i do like that he has guests i like and he lets them talk. lol
This is brilliance, some people get lucky, never give up
Chris Gaines “lost in you”. Was one of my favorite songs by Garth Brooks. Not joking.
Kentucky y’all. Get ya sum!!!
Have Garth on for a powerful podcast Joe!!!!
That Chris Gaines stuff was good. Some of it reminded me of The Beatles
Art is always subjective. Garth was huge and a major asset to the craft---period.
I actually liked the Chris Gaines album..
No you didn't
We're with you! We covered the full "Chris Gaines" saga here!

i'm with you, spanish monarch. it's a great pop album. great songwriting. amazing players. sounds great. it's a wonderful album. most people who may actually love the music didn't give it a chance because it was garth brooks.
spanish monarch Fantastic record!!!!
I liked it too a couple of great songs on there
It's great that when Chris is unaware of Richard Bachman, Joe isn't a tool like "you idiot!" and instead just calmly tells him about it. Also, I get the feeling that Chris knew at least as much about the Chris Gaines stuff as Joe did because he seems to know that there was a movie planned that never materialized.
Chris Gaines is immortalized on my lower back.....until I die.
Tennessee in here!!
The album was actually really good. It's all about context. GB got into that stratosphere of "weirdo" stardom. This was a by-product.
It was an interesting way to try and experiment doing music in a different genre. But the choice of that alter ego was just goofy af. It'd be better if he did it like Gorillaz or being a guy in a Quiet Riot mask.
Excellent comparison!
Fucking. Love. Chris. Stapleton
"Thinner" was a great book
Garth Brooks should have just made a Pop/Rock album under his own name. I remember back in the day loving that "Lost In You" song.
It’s a stunning soulful vocal. I laugh how I felt bamboozled at the realization.
he was just trying to do something artistic and different.
I have the Chris Gaines CD. It's actually pretty good. Had Garth just released the Chris Gaines CD without the back story...it might have worked
I guess Joe is going for a Twin Peaks vibe at the beginning there.
"colossal fuck-up" lololololol
He was the industries first attempt at "Daughtry" Gaines is Fetal Daughtry.
Garth was in the middle of a nervous breakdown when he had the Chris Gaines fantasy 😵🥴😳
Garth was always a rock guy. He grew up wanting to be a rock star. He was a MAJOR KISS fan. But growing up where and when he did - Stillwater, OK, and one wants to play music, he was sort of pigeonholed into that genre. Consequently, Garth became such a major country success due to his edgy and more rock sound in country music. So he got a 4 or 5 MAJOR records under his belt and he doesn't have a whole lot more to prove as a country star. He was the biggest selling ever at that point. So he goes back to his youth and wants to reclaim what he wanted to be, a rock star. Chris Gaines is his alter ego rock start he never got to be. I appreciate the artistic expression of it all.......perhaps the execution could've been handled better? I also wonder if Garth was surrounded with nothing but Yes-Men and no one telling him the brutal truth. "Uh......this is not a good idea Garth." Hell, maybe they did but Garth was at a point he didn't give a fuck.
I wonder if that’s the reason why he and his ex divorced at the time
The families need closure, Garth. Where are the bodies!
I think the fact that Garth was not touring at the time, he shows that he can be versatile and did a good job. The movie was supposed to be The Lamb, which was never completed. The music however is good. He wants the writers to get paid and itunes can't offer that.

I thought the music on that album was fucking incredible. It don't Matter to the Sun, Lost in You, Right Now, all fantastic songs. I fucking hate how people make fun of it.
When you start a new save file.
come on,unsigned letter is a pretty cool song.
Fuck up? That was fucking brilliant
He looks like Zac from ghost adventures on that cover 😂 incredible dbag
I think people need to understand that everyone in this world has an alter ego. And it's for that brief moment in time you can be somebody that you're actually not. So take it with a grain of salt everyone has one.
I dont
It don't matter to the sun is a bad ass Chris Gaines song
Lost in You was the only Garth brooks song I EVER bought.
I'm sorry man but it was dope. I'd like to see one of these dudes play and sing one of those jams.
I was a huge gb fan back then. That Chris gains shit was fucked
Colossal fuckup? Garth Brooks in... The Life of Chris Gaines peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200
Garth sold/sells his music by the album so all the collaborations from writers and others all get paid. If only one song is bought, only that writer gets a check. At least that’s how Garth explains it. Hard to be mad, but as a fan I’d sure like to be able to access his music easier.
the crazy thing is garth as Chris gaines the vocals he laid down were amazing that gimmick could hav even huge kinda how hank 3 does a 3 hour show where 1 hour is metal/punk 1 hour is hillbilly and 1 hour is traditional country he could have filled staduims 1 set as Chris gaines and 1 set as garth.
Lost in you was amazing song joe.
Gaines knows where the bodies are!
Chris Gaines and Cage should collab
I think it was a brilliant idea and i still listen to that record. People were not ready for this. And nobody critised David Bowie for creating Ziggy Stardust, right?
Craziness aside, it's a good song!
The album itself is dope tbh
The Bachman Books are a collection of short stories King wrote while in college that were published by Omni magazine and others. He used a pseudonym so his early works wouldn't haunt him later in his career. It's my opinion that they are his finest works, particularly ' The long Walk '.
I don't remember who it was and I'm probably way off but someone was using a different name on some of their work because they we're worried that if they released too much material it would start effecting their sales I don't know how that would work but I thought it was King who did it by publishing books as Bachman ... I do know I liked some of the Bachman stories more than the King stories though he seemed to be willing to go a darker route under the Bachman name
I think Brooks was wanting to move away from country music for a time and try pop/ rock music. But instead of just going for it as himself he got the wild idea of an alter ego. There was just no way of pulling it off without looking kinda foolish. The album was well done and it sold very well but the alter ego Gaines thing was confusing to country fans so it flopped.
I feel like Chris is the kind of guy who says “Well I think…” when he Damn well know for sure.
Hank Williams III is way too underrated.
Chris Gaines is the real deal!
This is gold. 😂 Garth is a troll.
Well, some of it is an R&B bop from then, he did crossover - everywhere - Maybe he set the framework for Kanye Meta,-music impresario Beyonce/Sasha Fierce-& Tidal music streaming..when you're just too damn big... hmmm
I LOVE the Chris Gaines record. Some fantastic music if you take time to listen to it. And no, he didn't go off the reservation. As was properly said, it was to be a soundtrack to a movie he was to be In. But it's one of Garths absolute best records if you ask me.
totally agree. so many people make fun of that album because of the whole chris gaines character...but it's a great pop-rock album. completely underrated and underappreciated. i think it's honestly as good or better than a lot of albums of that era.
Yup.
Kevin Maillet he’s an egomaniac that has zero grasp of reality. He’s a fake pop country star. He was manufactured and sold out from the beginning. He doesn’t write his songs and he sucks. He wrote a behind the music on “Chris” that is crazy and insanely egotistical. He went away for people to forget how badly he sucks. Except Walmart shoppers who love that crap. Listen to Waylon, Willie, Doug Sahm, Gram Parsons, Gene Clark and the Flying Burrito Brothers instead
Not a huge Garth Brooks fan. I listen to that whole CD when it came out. People can't deal with an artist doing two different things. Especially conservative white bred America. Chris Gaines. FTW.
“Make him like an ugly, saddle worn dude”
And if he did that, people would be criticizing him for doing that. I love the album and I feel like I’m one of the very few people that read the back of the CD where it explained it was going to be a movie.
The Bachman Books.
Was never a Garth fan so I had no idea about Chris Gaines.
The Chris Gaines album is great.
I'm glad TJ Kirk appeared on Joe's show again.
GB can only be compared to other greats as far as entertaining ability
Has to be a nut though honestly
All these stars are nuts
Chris Gaines came about as a character in a movie Garth was starring in. The album was the soundtrack to the movie. The movie never ended up being released and the only thing left was the Chris Gaines album and everyone was wondering what the hell Garth was thinking creating some alter ego Chris Gaines. It's a lot less Garth going off his rocker and more of a failed movie and a big misunderstanding. I don't know who wrote the script for the movie or if Garth had a hand in that. I think he just helped write the soundtrack.
at the same time, I don't think it would have been horrible even if he just decided to create an alter ego for the purpose of making different music. It's a cool experiment and there's no shame in that.
The Chris Gaines angle was genius and the music was awesome.
Chris Stapleton is very talented I think he transcends country
Dankzilla haha Thanks! And u too! I got obsessed with spirals and studying them with listening to Tool and their song Lateralus
Dankzilla yep my favorite can’t wait til the new album comes out finally after 13 years!
Art should be allowed to be expressed in the moment and that’s it. So many critics and consume get fixed into a box of how they want artist work to be presented and forget to not judge the process.
For instance, Prince has always had several different eras of his style, influence and faith that changed his style through the decades he was here blessing us.
Kanye is probably the most successful artist know yo have changed his style, moniker, crafted several different ego’s and presentations for his work. Some have been more successful than others but his work is still appreciated by his fan base and more.
Childish Gambino/The Boy/Donald Glover has experienced the same level of freedom with expressing his art as well
Joe "mmmmmmmmm" Rogan
I don't know man... It was like Zoolander. He definitely went way off the reservation!
The Truth of this! Back then We didnt know about MK Ultra and what the see I A was doing to these stars!
Don't forget Garth played for the NY Mets.
Prayers to the slain🙏🏽
There's an alternate reality where the world's biggest pop-rock star Chris Gaines has a 1999 country alter-ego album called "Chris Gaines in the Life of..... Garth Brooks"
Chris Gaines looks like the dude from my chemical romance and every other emo band but 20 years earlier
It was fairly well known that Garth was Chris Gaines, don’t think he was trying hard to hide that fact , and some of the songs were pretty good, though I can’t recall names.
