My mother ran Paycheck's tour merchandising for a couple of years. I smoked the very first joint I ever smoked in my life with Johnny on his tour bus when I was 14 years old. As he put the joint out, he told me that if my mama ever finds out that he got me high, he was going to chain me to the back of his bus and take me on a wild tour of the country. Johnny was a good guy. He could be the best friend you ever had if you were a good person. And he could be the worst enemy you could ever have, if he thought you were a bad person. He was a Hell's Angel and he would behave like one if he felt the need for it. God bless Johnny's soul. The world needs more people like Johnny Paycheck.
@rickyking1790 I just asked my mom about it. She said that he was definitely a member of Hell's Angel's. He just didn't talk about it a lot, because he didn't want it to mess with his career. But he was 100% a Hell's Angel.
The story on the shooting was that he was headed home and stopped at a little bar in Texas if I remember correctly. Some guy recognized him and wouldn't leave him alone while he was drinking so he pulled out a 22 pistol and shot him in the head but the guy survived. Paycheck spent several years in prison for it and got released in the early 90s. He was also in the Navy when he was younger and got sent to the brig for beating an officer. He was definitely a real outlaw and lived the type of life he sang about
I thought it was over a dispute about a hat. Either way, watch Mike Judge's 'Tales From the Tour Bus,' because the Johnny Paycheck episode is excellent
It didn't happen in Texas, it was a bar fight right here in my home state of Ohio. It happened in Hillsboro Ohio and he spent 22 months in prison before being pardoned by the governor. Ohio is also Paychecks home state. Paycheck always claimed it was in self defense and the bullet grazed the guys head. He wasn't seriously injured.
@@dianaspears571 Yep! You got the story correct. Larry Wise was bugging Paycheck & insulted him according to Paycheck who pulled his 22 and meant to fire in the air to scare him but the bullet grazed Wise's head.
He was a hell-raising mo-fo, but talented musician. If I recall, he used to be in George Jones band in his early years, so I bet that was an education right there.
Im 58 y/o and been loving this guy for a long time. my Momma had a " honky tonk" in Bacliff, texas I grew up in . Rough necks, oil refinery workers the whole nine.. sawdust on the floor, pickled pigs feet at the bar, and a pay phone with a hundred thousand tales...love that a cool dude like this "feels" it ....hell dont get me started on R & B either cause that was da shit when growing up in Houston in the late 70's early 80's..sooo sweet to see the appreciation from both sides..
I hope you will react to the song that I think was his masterpiece, "Old Violin". He was older when he did that song. It gives me chills. It's a good one. If you do, the one that says "original version" is the one. He sang his ass off on that recording. I usually like live versions of songs the best, and a lot of his are great. But this recording of Old Violin is haunting.
Johnny did a concert in my hometown. The promoter hired the Hells Angels to keep him on ice and to show up to the gig sober and on time and devoid of cocaine for a change. They only gave him burgers and beer till show time. He was escorted to the gig and showed up on time and sober and did the best concert he'd done in years as the story goes. Apparently Johnny liked the Brazilian Marching Powder quite a bit and was quite the A-Hole when on it.
I love these videos because it introduces country music to everyone. Anyone that listens to music not labeled or in a box earns my respect. Awesome video.
This is a country classic, the rhythm guitar and the pedal steel were just killin' it, I played this song in a band last week. Try "Colorado Cool-aid" and "Satin Sheets" they're dope.
It's very obvious through the raw sharpness of his lyrics, his look, his facial expressions, and his mannerisms that Johnny was... 100% about that life. This man didn't just sing about prison and violent street life. He lived it at a time when it was super violent. Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash helped to get Paycheck out of prison. Attending hearings and parole board meetings for him and paying for lawyers and advocates. Paycheck could sign about Jesus, Mom and prison in one song .. and you knew he lived it.
Johnny sit the guy in the top of his head .the guy survived. Johnny was in the navy when he was young and he hit his officer in command and got thrown in the brigg
My Mom is from Manchester Ohio, Johnny was from Greenfield Ohio close by. Farm country Johnny was in a bar in Hillsboro Ohio and got in an argument with a man there and Johnny pulled a .22 pistol and shot him in the head The man lived but Johnny did six years at Lucasville pen Johnny died broke, and his lifelong friend George Jones paid for his plot and funeral He is buried next to Jones
A quarter lb. of coke was his personal stash. Wild as a Comanche mule. He shot that dude accidently. It was his bass player. He never carried a gun & he said he didnt know why he did that night. He has some really pretty songs if you care to check him out. I like your reactions.
In December 1985, Paycheck was convicted and sentenced to seven years in jail for shooting a man at the North High Lounge in Hillsboro, Ohio; he had fired a .22 pistol, and the bullet grazed the man's head. Paycheck claimed the act was self-defense. After several years spent fighting the sentence, he began serving his sentence in 1989, spending 22 months in prison before being pardoned by Ohio Governor Richard Celeste.
I can identify with;:"They put those handcuffs on me, how I fought to resist, but they just clamped them tighter, and feel that metal bit into my wrist, they took my belt and my billfold, finger prints, and a profile of my face, then they locked away the only hell my momma ever raised."
My momma told me not to drink it or date her, but I did, and trouble ensued.. I can relate to the lines where they put the cuffs on and take his belt and billfold, and they locked away the only my momma ever raised.
You should react to Colorado kool aid by johnny paycheck. Its fucking legendary🔥 if you like the song you just reacted to, you will for sure like this one. (Audio version)
I know its a year old,but itz kickass you listen to the classics.the story of how that shooting went down is on "tales from the tour bus".dude that did king of the hill did a small series on country music stories.if you haven't seen it ,its cool.best to know the true story in anything.love your vids man
j paycheck is true country outlaw!!! then legend country poet texan, townes van zandt!!!!!! the father of outlaw country is hank sr.!!!! but waylon jennings got the term in 70's from wanted album..........
i was just reading, before johnny shot the guy, he stole a bunch of coke from the hell's angels....and he was in a state when those drunk people were trying to talk to him.
Johnny Paycheck was the wildest dude in country music, but I think they were all scared of Waylon..except for Billy Joe Shaver who was the toughest realest dude on the planet
He shot him with a .22 and the bullet grazed his head. It happened right here in Hillsboro Ohio just 30 minutes from where I live. He served 22 months in prison before being pardoned by the governor. It was self defense. I don't know where these wild stories come from.
Yes he was sentenced to 7yrs in chillicothe prison in Ohio for shooting a guy in a bar in hillsboro ohio he spent 2yrs I think and was pardoned by the governor with the help of Merle Haggard. I was 24 and live in the area the guy that got shot is fine it was a contact wound!
The story goes by everyone in the bar is that guy was drunk and being a ass and Johhny had a hair trigger temper anyway. I mean he did 2 years in a Naval brig for nearly beating a officer to death. But this guy in the bar kept pushing it and Johhny finaly snapped and BANG. The guy kept running his and Johhny asked leave me alone he didn't and paid the price
I met him at a concert me and my buddy tried to get him to go drink with us his manager wouldn't let him go said he would get into trouble I think that was the time he was on probation for killing a man
This is good... But The recording of this song at a concert in the Ohio prison is much more of a speeded up Banger of a tune..real prison crowd reaction!
Paycheck had serious drinking and drug issues in late '70s. He was in Ohio and probably drinking. Got in argument with a guy in the bar and shot him. Not sure but think that's the story
True. It was Hillsboro Ohio and Johnny always claimed self defense. The bullet grazed the guys head. Johnny spent 22 months in prison before being pardoned by the governor.
@@VintageReactionsII hey Q and Drea I came across this interview with Elvis deep bass singer JD. It's long but it's a beautiful interview that starts with him singing a song about Elvis ua-cam.com/video/LS87o2VkZ7I/v-deo.html
So you might already know this but I’d love to tell you anyway. I love Johnny Paycheck, all of his stuff. The funny thing about Johnny paycheck and quite a few other very famous country dudes is that all of their songs that were hits were actually written for them by black R&B dudes. I believe most of Johnny paychecks were written by a dude name Swamp Dogg and another dude named Gary US bonds. I love all of Johnny Paychecks stuff but the stuff you can tell he wrote himself is super simple and kind of garbage. My favorite song he wrote himself is called 15 beers. It’s stupid but it’s really fun drinking music.It’s just crazy to think that Johnny paycheck would seriously be a nobody if he didn’t have multiple way more talented Black people backing him up that ended up getting no recognition.
"Don't take her she's all I've got", was written by the two men you mentioned, and they admired Paycheck. Swamp Dog was his friend. Donald Eugene Lytle began guitar at age 6 and was performing by age 9. He left home in his early teens and performed as "the Ohio kid". He made it to Nashville and CA and sang,played bass and steel guitar with many very famous artists. He was sought after as a harmony singer and was an excellent bass player. Also, he had perfect timing and pitch. He backed Faron Young,then changed his name to Donny Young. U
As Donny Young, he recorded the finest honky tonk ever done. He was George Jones' front man. Some say he taught Jones his distinctive phrasing. He wrote many well crafted songs for himself and for others.
If you enjoy Johnny Paycheck. Check out the song "Cocain blues, by Johnny Cash" I like some of David Allen Coes music, but his racist albums are a just too much, and they ruined a career that still putters along to this day. David Allen Coe was big in Nashville until the world found out about those albums. Now he tours the nation playing small Venues at a very advanced age. And it's a shame. Because when he was on... he was on... Coe is a man who grew up in a different time and different place. This is a MAN who had a topless Polaroid of his wife in his wallet and did 4 years in prison for "possession of pornogrophy" ... he was angry at the world, and it showed.

Paycheck lived it. Rough life. Poverty. Prison. The love of his mother. Sht we all relate to in life. R.I.P Johnny
He was a hell raiser
My mother ran Paycheck's tour merchandising for a couple of years. I smoked the very first joint I ever smoked in my life with Johnny on his tour bus when I was 14 years old.

Dude 1) so high, love it. 2) put a shirt on! 3) Nice job letting the song play... 4) I enjoyed that
Johnny was with them shits man. Cold blooded man and a hell of a singer.
Johnny Paycheck has been my favorite real country singer since I was 14
Johnny was a he'll raiser.
That dude was the real deal.

Your reaction made me cry man
Vintage ll , Love watching your reactions to those solid gold country songs. They sure don't make em like that anymore, that's for sure!!
I hope you will react to the song that I think was his masterpiece, "Old Violin". He was older when he did that song. It gives me chills. It's a good one. If you do, the one that says "original version" is the one. He sang his ass off on that recording. I usually like live versions of songs the best, and a lot of his are great. But this recording of Old Violin is haunting.
Say's exactly the way he was feeling knowing his music and life was to come to a halt facing prison time. His best recording
Outlaw prayer was his best,!!!
Hey!, Glad you got turned onto Paycheck. As an outlaw singer-songwriter he's one of my idols. Safe travels pal. WC Edgar
Outlaw prayer is a good one also
Old Violin, his best song.
Ain't nobody as gangster as Johnny Paycheck. A real wild man
I remember growing up hearing this song...good memories.
Paycheck was a story teller 💯.
Johnny paycheck as not a poser, he was real. Try I grew old too fast and smart too slow.
Johnny did a concert in my hometown. The promoter hired the Hells Angels to keep him on ice and to show up to the gig sober and on time and devoid of cocaine for a change. They only gave him burgers and beer till show time. He was escorted to the gig and showed up on time and sober and did the best concert he'd done in years as the story goes.

He shot the man's ear off for sitting in his seat. .357 magnum to the ear. He was trying to shoot him in the face but missed.
He shot him with a .22 and the bullet grazed his head. It happened right here in Hillsboro Ohio just 30 minutes from where I live. He served 22 months in prison before being pardoned by the governor. It was self defense. I don't know where these wild stories come from.
