wow...lotsa ppl hating on this...not only the music, but the man and his acting as well...billy bob is very talented i/m/o...plus he's tight with lemmy...'nuff said.
It’s so cool that actor William Thorton has a side project like this. You think a guy who’s first love is acting would not have a secondary hobbies such as this, yet he does. William Thorton is a phenomenal actor and it is what he will be remembered for because that is his essence, but this one little side group sure is entertaining to watch.
You got that that right… he’s multy talented… he’s one of my favorite actors… when I found out he had a band, I was like wow… the poor house is a great song… ✌️✌️✌️
Just discovered this actor attempting to do music as well!! BBT you should do some interviews with you and the band to get the word out about your neat little hobby!
Exactly! I don't like country or oldies music whatsoever, but if I did, I'm sure I'd love this. I know what it's like to really wreck up a social situation, I do it nearly everyday and it's really damaging. I can't imagine what it would be like if thousands of people reminded me of it every day.
TheBillproject jack ha was definitely making a reference to the radio interview. forums.oce.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=10843
__ I’m talking about the video. Dude is credited before the band. Nobody would even know who this band was unless BBT was in it. But I’ve read interviews where he was trying to have a “low profile” because he wanted to build up the band on its own merits and not because he’s an actor and extremely famous. You can see that didn’t last too long.
+Hugh B it's actor Billy Bob Thornton, you know he was married to Angelina Jolie? He's a good actor but a bad musician and he has an ego. If you like him, watch the movie The Alamo he played Davy Crockett
Billy Bob Thornton And The Boxmasters are playing Watseka Theatre Watseka IL . Thats in Central Illinois. The concert is Friday April 17, 2015 and I will be there baby.
4:06 Billy Bob is in the audience. Middle...blonde wig...heavy black glasses. Same jaw...same 2 fold wrinkle on the side of the smile. That is why he winks at 4:05. The audience looks like mid to late 80's people. Perhaps it was computer generated....but I really think that is him.
Okay now. All of these negative comments really need to get out of here. I will admit that it sure as hell isn't original, but it's not that bad. It's just a redoing of every old country song. As long as Billy Bob's happy, y'all should be too. Just because it's not auto-tuned or dubstep bass in it, doesn't make it shitty. Grow up and learn what music's really about, kids.
I don't understand why all these people are so upset! I think this stuff is great! This is great musical satire! And it's well done, too. If you aren't partial to country (I'm not a big country fan) at least you should be able to see what this very talented actor and singer is doing here. This is great stuff and I got a great laugh out of it. The musicians are very good and, again, the topical humor is just great. I like Billy Bob and The Boxmasters.
yeah, a lot of people will criticize the music, and his past interviews, well, the music he plays , its called Country, and well if you don't like Country , of course you are going to like this, and , well Country Real Country, sounds kind of like this.
YOU AREN'T, BUT IN TRUMPS AMERICA YOU MUST MARCH IN GOOSE STEP FASHION OR BE SHUNNED BY THE UNEDUCATED HERDS OF FOX NEWS WATCHERS. HE ALSO HAS MORE MONEY THAN TRUMP WHICH I FIND HILARIOUS.
that little comedy bit at the beginning really captures what billy bob thornton and his bad are all about. Really angry older white guys trying to hold it all together
HE HAS MADE MILLIONS ACTING, HAS HAD SEX WITH ANGELINA JOLIE, HAS A TOP 100 RECORD, WHAT ARE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS PATT, AND WHY SHOULD HE TAKE ANY ADVICE FROM YOU?
Man, you guys are COLD! The music's fine. His conduct in that radio interview in Canada is what has everyone riled up. Well, it was lousy. He acted like a bum, blew up the tour, leaving his bandmates swamped, and smashed eggs on his own face. But I think the music's just fine. Good lyrics. A little too artsy-ironic and the vid is of the clever, Talking Heads cool variety -- not my cup of tea.
No wonder Billy Bob wanted this to not be related to his acting career. This is shit, and he doesn't want us to associate bad music with bad acting. He really thought this through.
I like the song and the Band.. Maybe it was working with Dwight on Sling Blade that got him more into music??? Anyway I read a lot of comments from people that hated it.. and to you I say, It's just a matter of taste.. You might not Like Dwight or The derailers or Dale watson, The Pine Box Boys, etc.... it's all a matter of taste.. I had the whole album this song is on and I'd say about 90% of it is great...
That, and BBT tried to avoid sensationalism, and now it seems as if his avoidance of it made him famous as a musician for being interpreted as a jerk, so now you get all these negative comments. I HATE country music, yet I love the simplicity of this song.
Making monster models is a fine hobby, much like having a little band as a sideline from your acting career, but this Billy Bob fella illustrates why you must not inhale the glue fumes.
The quality of music is nice and drivey for a rainy night in the car on your own in the middle of nowhere....but the problem for me is that we all KNOW Billy Bob is a squillionaire and here is some tripe about a plan to stay out of the POOR HOUSE?!!? Needs to sing from the heart...that there's the problem.
Without a famous guy in the band there's not much here worthy of attention.
Is it possible for an album to go aluminum?
I'll be surprised if it goes iron
Lmao you two 😂😂seriously made my day
Lol
This album went wood. It couldn't even go tin.
THAT is funny! :P
wow...lotsa ppl hating on this...not only the music, but the man and his acting as well...billy bob is very talented i/m/o...plus he's tight with lemmy...'nuff said.
Who is the lead singer? I feel like I was in a monster building competition with him when I was younger.
LOLOL
You must have been the one that took first place in the competition!

Ahahahahha

lololol
His real hobby is plastic modelling
actor Billy Bob never ceases to surprise me. drama, comedy... and now, musicals!
You got that that right… he’s multy talented… he’s one of my favorite actors… when I found out he had a band, I was like wow… the poor house is a great song… ✌️✌️✌️
We finely found a role Billy Bob Thornton can't play. A lead singer.
Billy Bob Thornton knows about being poor,you can see it in his eyes.
With one interview, Billy Bob torpedoed his side project's success.
Just discovered this actor attempting to do music as well!! BBT you should do some interviews with you and the band to get the word out about your neat little hobby!
If I walked into any record label with a tape of this music NOT being Billy Bob Thornton they would throw me out the window...
Probably because your taste in music appears to be suspect.
It SNOT who you know, it's who you.... :P
They might even shoot you.
Would you say that to Tom Petty?
CopelandMeister right?!
SURE WOULD, ONCE i FIGURE OUT HOW TO TALK TO THE DEAD!
@@ALLEYOOP77 Good answer!!!! :P

Rhoda Dairyheir wat? ...does League of Legends have to do with billy bob thornton
Dude doesn't want his prior fame affecting his band.
And then he has top billing over the name of the band itself...
I'm pretty sure that BBT had no part in naming this video or writing it's description...

@@chosentonessournotes That (initially somehwat respectable) strategy fell apart with the "Q" interview when he compared himself to Tom Petty.
@@n0-one0 WHO is Tom Petty???
How do eight guys split up zero dollars?
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Well if I was in billy Bob Thorntons band I know he'd be paying me, ALOT to go along with this joke.
Is this actor and director Billy Bob Thornton doing his side project?
OUCHH!!! IT"S NOT A HOBBY! IT"S NOT A HOBBY! Would you ask that of Steven Seagal?
You were instructed not to talk about that shit.
William Engelhard lol
I don't know what you're talking about
Its a monster magazine
Their record wasn't released it escaped.
Tried to escape by digging a tunnel; but it collapsed.
I’ve never heard of The Boxmasters but I understand that Billy Bob Thornton is quite a successful actor?
Swear I know that main singer from somewhere but I know if I asked him he'd punch me in the mouth.
+Hugh B Bad santa?
+Hugh B Sling Blade!
+Hugh B it's actor Billy Bob Thornton, you know he was married to Angelina Jolie? He's a good actor but a bad musician and he has an ego. If you like him, watch the movie The Alamo he played Davy Crockett

Well, he's the Man Who Wasn't There.
Great singer, I wonder if he’s ever met Willie Nelson?
some beautiful music :)
Just think of how great this would be if it were the only song we ever heard.
I'd still shut it off
@@Hawk.Tuah. How 'special' U R!
you can really hear the British Invasion influence in this song.
Loved it!! I like the country music to it and how can you not like seeing those dimples on Billy Bob!
3:53 guy with the glasses. “Autism speaks”
LOLOLOLOLOL
After 'that' interview, I've always felt sympathy for any of the musicians working with BBT.
Stick to acting Billy cause this type of music will land you in the poor house.
Lol nice.
aww,that's mean :D
AND YOU KNOW THIS HOW? ARE YOU A FAMOUS RECORD EXECUTIVE THAT WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF?
Not sure why people are dissing this music.
might have something to do with 'that' interview.
Because it's shit
It's pure shit lol wake up.
IDGAF what anyone else says, I get it. Love this!
this comments got me crying i'm laughing so hard
I had no idea the lead singer was an academy award winning actor.
I don’t know where the fuck petty comes into this but I watched them live THORTON IS IS GREAT
I'm just in the middle of Season 4 Episode 2 of Goliath! BBT is a LEGEND! (in his own alleged mind!) LMBO

It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s really him. After all, BBT is an actor.
He must not have wanted to lug his drums around at 6 in the morning.
Gawds, there's a lot of dudes in that band.
I like it, has a good sound, he looks like he's gonna crack and go nutz
love
Great song... Makes me want biscuits mustard
tom petty could fart a better song than this
NOT ANY MORE! I THINK YOU NEED TO BE ALIVE TO SING?
Would you say to Tom Petty that he was passionate about music?
Seen these guys open for willie nelson back in the day. We snuck a bottle of whiskey in
Were people throwing chairs at each other?
Those are some extreme close ups.. You can see every wrinkle...
Your.....POINT???
@@mr.blackhawk142 fuck, i donno, that was 8 years ago, i just remember thinking there was some odd detail that i noticed

Great album 20 years ago......Poor House........Art
I love the rockabilly rhythm and lyrics
Must be an eclectic audience that gets into this. Probably the kind of people who throw things at each other
You need a SOH, or 3 or more brain cells, to appreciate comedy.
Good thing he is a music historian.
This is the band The Beatles should have been.
WHO are the Beatles???
I think i'm the only person here that likes this
yup
I was just gonna say, It ain't too bad!
Nope, I'm down with it!
People just hate on it because it's a celebrity. It's good music. He ain't the best singer but it fits.
YOU AREN'T, BUT IN TRUMPS AMERICA YOU MUST MARCH IN GOOSE STEP FASHION OR BE SHUNNED BY THE UNEDUCATED HERDS OF FOX NEWS WATCHERS. HE ALSO HAS MORE MONEY THAN TRUMP WHICH I FIND HILARIOUS.
How does this have more dislikes than likes? It's a pretty great folk effort.
How does one see “dislikes”? Mine never show.
@@Hklbrries goddamn... the good ole days when you could dislike something...
@@NasaFails I still can, Steve. Just wondering why I can never actually see any. Dislikes never, ever show up where I can see them. 🤷🏼♀️
@@Hklbrries
In November 2021, UA-cam removed the public dislike count from all of its videos.
@@NasaFails Thanks, Steve! Thought it was a glitch on my end. Who knew? 🤷🏼♀️😘
It's like a train wreck, I can't stop coming back to stare at this bizzare curiosty.
Wait, so the Boxmasters.. is that actor/screenwriter/director Billy Bob Thornton's side hobby?? lol
wow billy bob singing reminds me of Tim Olyphant as raylan but just in general
This is the audio version of licking the floor of a gas station restroom
I like it.
Rock on Billy!!!
that little comedy bit at the beginning really captures what billy bob thornton and his bad are all about. Really angry older white guys trying to hold it all together
'It's only ME!"
Millionaire actors singing about being poor is pretty funny.
Shhhh! Don't mention that he's an actor 🤣🤣🤣
He was in Gatlinburg TN tonight
what you on about this is great lol
I reckon the Wanna-bees can't stand to see SUCCESSful people
Has the" feel "of a SNL skit or something like it. Yes, Thornton should stick to acting. that's where he shines.
HE HAS MADE MILLIONS ACTING, HAS HAD SEX WITH ANGELINA JOLIE, HAS A TOP 100 RECORD, WHAT ARE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS PATT, AND WHY SHOULD HE TAKE ANY ADVICE FROM YOU?
@@ALLEYOOP77 we know it's you billy. Go take a rest, you pretentious hillbilly with an over-bite.

thank-you for reminding me of why i love you. oh and we're still proud of you here in good 'ole arkansas!
I like the part where he sang "It's Thortin Time™!" And Billie Bobbed all over the place
I can't stand to look at him. Literally. I so loved him in Slingblade. **sigh**
Get me some of them french fried tators mmhm, and some biscuits with some of that mustard on there i reckon.

The music is subpar.
Song was recorded with a pedal steel, not a console steel.

This is awsome!
The two most talented people in that video are the announcer, Johnny G and Brad Davis.
Billy's voice is great! Reminds me of Jakob Luke Dylan a lil bit.

You go, "Billy Bob!!!"

To truly try and understand his genius, I'd recommend you read his new book "Billy Bob Thornton; The Billy Bob Tapes-A Cave Full of Ghosts"
"Working on a Plan!" hope it doesn't involve singing.

Surely he did this as a spoof?!
This is super awkward after watching Fargo

perhaps separate him the actor from him the singer,in your mind :)
By the way after this video I went to watch Tombstone so I could see your face smacked by a true talented actor.
A metaphorical fist to the side of the head ! Pun intended !
