Everyone has their opinion myself I love Waylon Jennings & Willie & Merle were some of the greatest & etc & country wouldn't be country without them. They made country music what it is today.. Luv waylon
Basically Luke Bryan wanted to continue to sing the same old Yee Yee country music that he’s known for and when talking about that in his interview he sort of half heartedly trashed Waylon, willie and Merle haggard. By calling them drug addicts.
Disgusting, Willie🇺🇸, Waylon🇺🇸and Merle🇺🇸 are true legends. I don't think that word will ever be used to describe that other guy, I forgot his name already!
His name is Luke Bryan. Yes, you’re right, both sing completely different kinds of country music. I am a fan of Waylon the Legend, and Luke Bryan. Articles written change the words around to make the editor look good, but the person giving the interview sometimes, gets wronged and that’s what happened. We aren’t comparing one to another, because each artist has their own way of singing. There’s no reason to say awful things about someone’s music. Luke made it right!
@americafirstpatriot9844, Actually, Waylon did just that. Country artists at that time had no control over their music. They were told what to sing and to keep their mouths shut about everything else. Waylon demanded that he wanted full control of his music or he would walk. He and the execs., with Chet Adkins, had a stand off for about an hour with nobody saying a word. Finally they gave in and gave Waylon what he wanted. After other artists saw the deal that Waylon got, they started demanding the same deal. Yes, Waylon made that happen single handedly.
It's one thing to defend yourself, it's another to run down someone else to try and make yourself look better. He did the 2nd thing, and not only that he picked legends to run down.
@@katherinemyers1519 I could not have said this any better. Luke Bryan should not have the right to speak negativity to other musical performers. Being in the same entertainment industry where's the RESPECT. People in any industry together should work together not against another.
@@katherinemyers1519 oh wait! Do you know Luke? Personally? You just got done saying he had no right to speak about anything he didn't know regarding Waylon. Aren't you doing the same thing? Isn't that called a hypocrite? He was wrong and maybe stating those things. He said maybe it was written out of context. We don't know we weren't there. However he was man enough to stand up and apologize most people don't do that. So please don't be a hypocrite. I don't know Luke personally, but from what I see on the socials and TV I don't think he's all about himself. He is nationally, taken off his shoes and gave it to somebody the head holes in their boots. They run a charity for his nephew. I highly highly doubt he's all about himself.
Waylon Jennings ram more miles with me in 35 years of trucking than I can imagine Luke Bryan bud l don't care how many number 1s you have it will never mean what that man done a Hero Legend. Never be Forgotten
I agree with Cathy it was disrespectful. He did not have to name names to say what he was trying to say. We all say things in the wrong way sometimes. But to comment on his remark. I have bought a lot of Waylon's music some of Willie's and Merle's but never have nor never will buy Luke's. I grew up on these guys and don't care for much of the new stuff. That's just me.
You know what this d****** did? He got out of his truck didn't put the m*********** in park it's an automatic of course for the little push but anyway you don't put the m*********** in park you just hopped out of it and what's the truck do it goes in the d*** phone Hey sweetheart He's sort of a little bit shy of a load
But really Luke Brown Florida Georgia Jason aldean and I do like some Jason aldean I'm not hating on Luke Brown but that's just not country I like it I can say why they have it a song so I'm just saying why call it country?
I swear, I’m an old school hip hop fan. I shunned new hip hop and embraced “3 chords and the truth.” But with the advent of ‘bro’ country, I wonder, has it come full circle? Has the Rakim vs Lil Durk really turned into George Strait vs Dustin Lynch? Maybe we all need to embrace what we love, accept that music changes, and let it be. Don’t like it? Don’t listen to it. That’s the beauty of music. At least it’s not politics, am I right? 🤷🏻♂️
I think y'all are forgetting where the 'outlaw' thing came from. Again....thanks to the media, etc. Waylon, Willie, and Merle, just to name a few, decided to move away from the Nashville scene and do it their way. I, for one, am so proud they did! I'll never forget the day Merle died. I listened to Willie's radio station in my big rig. I gotta tell ya, it got really hard to see the highway for several miles. That was my kind of music....and always will be. Don't let Nashville, or the media, or even your best friend tell ya what kind of music to listen to. Music comes from one heart and moves another.
I understand the woman defending her deceased father in law. I even applaud it. However, I loved Wayland but he did not “single handedly” pave the way for anyone. Many did. Luke over spoke, but I think from all I have heard and read, he is a good man. Many love his music, many don’t. The same is true of every artist. Listen to who you like. Ignore the ones you don’t.
You need to learn about Waylon's story. If you did, then you would know how wrong you are. Waylon demanded to have full control over his music when nobody else in the industry had any control over their music. He had a stand off with execs. for an hour before they gave in to his demands. He did what nobody else at the time would do. After other artists saw what Waylon did, then they started demanding the same deal. WAYLON paved the way when no other artist could or would do it at that time.
My Grandchildren just started getting interested in music & when I played Waylon, Willie & Merle's alums they went wow I love that sound & it made me smile they will always be the good ones they paved the way in county music
I'm not a Luke fan, I couldn't even tell you one song that he has done. Waylon, Willie & Merle on the other hand are embedded forever in my Playlist. I haven't listened to a country music radio channel in decades and from what I've been told, I'm not missing much. Having said that, if we can't forgive someone for mis-speaking then we are worse then the mis-spoken.
You should check out some of the somewhat new artists I mean I love the older boys but gotta give the young guys love like colter wall sturgil Simpson Willie carslile Billy strings there's more young guys but those guys are old school
agreed I'm not a Luke Bryan and i think he could have said it better but as a musician I kinda understood what I think he meant about making music from what he knows and lived just worded bad
I can't stand Luke Bryan's music or his style. However, I don't think he meant to insult anyone. Even if what he said was insulting. He could have talked about himself without bringing up anyone else's names. He screwed up, but at least he apologized to the right people.
From everything I’ve seen of Luke Bryan, he’s a sincere person. When I heard the interview, I didn’t hear personal slurs…just what motivates one singer over another. But, I’m not a family member of Waylon. I am a big fan of outlaw country. I love that music. But, music evolves and motivation is part of that. I think it’s great that he apologized…it shows who he is. That it mattered to Waylon’s sons says a lot about them and about Luke.
Why is this being brought up now.2015 is the past.But i will say i loved waylon.All the highwaymen the best country music.I was never on drugs.But best country music while fishing and have a cold beer.God Bless yall
I thought Outlaw country came from the movement from guys like Waylon to record their music their style and have some creativity their way ....am right, or did I miss something here?
You nailed it. All the more reason they should be respectful. Not just because of their amazing talent but because they also had character and integrity. Something very much lacking today
I know that Luke Bryan would never say anything against another legend country star. Like Waylon’s son said, when you give interviews to the press or magazine, they slice and dice it, to make it look diffirent than what Luke Bryan meant. What would he gain from doing it? A lot of angry country artists and fans, that’s what. So, for Luke Bryan to step up and apologize, like the man he is, l think was sincere and heartfelt. Yes, l am a fan of Luke Bryan, but l am still a fan of the late great Waylon Jennings. He was a legend and will always be a legend. So, well done, Luke! Love you!♥️🥰
OK... if Luke was a real cowboy he would have watched his words, then going to twitter to say he did a great interview... he called The Hag a drug addict... but the one thing i didn't understand is the entire thing it is too stupid to comprehend.
For me, I love them all for different reasons. What's sad is that we all say and do disrespectful things. I mean, look at all these comments. WOW! The strong, iconic men like Waylon, Willie, and Merle struck me as men who said their peace no matter who might be offended. They were true to who they were. I RESPECT that. Luke Bryan was true to himself. With a humble heart, he apologized. That was true to his nature. I RESPECT that. May Country Music live on!!!
I grew up listening to Waylon,Willie,merle great singers love the music Luke Bryan I love his music to his a great singer to Mama's do let your kids grow up to be Luke Bryan fans and saying his music ain't good well your only saying that about him because what he said he apologize theres no use of calling him names putting him down and saying don't know his name then y'all got problems not him all of them where my favorites growing up
Waylon and Merle are my country hero's. Luke explained his position and also personally apologized to those families affected. He maned up and that's a lot more than most! Luke, you're okay in this old outlaw lovein country music fan's opinion, keep doing what you are doing, Hoss!!
@ashley1994 wrong He irked a lot of traditional country folk when the bro country in the crap came out country and rap fused together. Lost a lot of credibility that's all I'm going to say I'm not going to comment again. I'm going to mute this post so I don't have to hear anything from
This is based off of an old interview that happened years ago. And by the sounds of it they've all straightened it out. So it's water under the bridge at this point. This was a pointless video. All it's going to do is stir the pot and make people angry for no reason.
Sometimes things said don’t always come out the way their actually meant. I have a friend who says all the time I say something and people take it wrong because apparently in my head I know what I’m saying but it comes out of my mouth differently and she always says I don’t know why that is . I don’t think for one second Luke was trying to knock the best country singers out there I think it was the way it came out that made people say that was disrespectful all in all I believe he was just stating he sings different songs then Waylon, Willie and Merle. Luke has a big heart has gone thru a lot in his life that by no means would he disrespect and country or any musician. What he said did not come out the way he meant it. Sometimes I would imagine when your being interviewed you don’t have time to think about what your saying. But after he said what he did he realized how it sounded and it bother him it was on his mind for several days. Bottom line is the songs Waylon Willie and Merle sang made them who they are the Best Country singers of their time and then some everyone loves them and no one could say anything to change that. I personally do not think Luke Bryan meant for that to come out the way it did
Merle Willie and Waylon were and are Country Music. Country Music would be missing the major part of itself, Luke Bryan is alright, but Merle Willie and Waylon are musical geniuses that made the Country Music scene for what it was in their day and every day to this day. There is too much of a pop sound in the Country Music genre today. And being more of a traditionalist, I am more at home with Patsy Cline, Marion Worth, and Jean Shepard. As well Merle Haggard Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Glen Campbell. I do like Kimberly Kelly, Jenna Paulette, Ashley Ryan though cant say I ever had much for Mr.Luke Bryan nothing personal against him, but to see that he is a man who recognized his mistake in the offense he caused and sought to apologize. That says alot. Bravo Mr.Luke Bryan, I may not be a fan of your music per'se yet you gain my respect for your character. May ADONAI bless you.
People always mock Luke, so I think he was simply clarifying where hes coming from as a country artist. Because many try to compare him to other country artists.
@@petedaniels16 its Alan Jackson, not Allen. I'm a Georgia girl too. I love Alan Jackson. He's has always been 100% Country. It wasn't because he's a Georgia Boy that I love him, it's his music, his songs. That touched me from his very first song, Here in the real world. He's remained true to who he is. His music has got me through some rough time. Listening to his songs mean a lot to me. He sings from his heart. In all the years I've been a fan, he still remain true to country. Next to him I choose George Strait. I agree with you. I can put on any one of Alan cds and i feel better. It make me mad that once a Artist get a certain age. They don't play their music any more. I still have all my Cassets. I buy all of Alan Jackson records. I agree with him that country music isn't really country any more. I rarely find many of today's artists are true, or pure country. I love the Artist i love. I won't apologize. I love willie, waylon, and Merle's. I just love pure country over what some call today's country music, or pop country. Many are gone. Not many true country music singers are left. Thankfully i have the music i can play what i love any time i want. God Bless.👍✌🖖💕. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita james. 🙂👋.
Waylon's generation was country!!! This new stuff is a mix between rap and hip hop. I do not consider today's country country but weak. Just like the generation it's self. Can't even get them to man up for the protection of their country. Most of the old country singers served their country. What's your excuse. For riding off the freedom they produced for ya also.
Sounded to me like Luke was bashing Waylon, Willie, Merle and some of the rest of our heroes for the things they did, minus the being in the gutter. I love ALL of our old heroes. Yes, they did things but changed their ways. I like some of Luke’s music. But, I don’t listen to alot of new country. Just certain artists and/or songs. Country isn’t the same anymore. I don’t really believe in labels. But, DON’T disrespect our heroes. They paved the way for the new stuff. If you have good music then it doesn’t matter. It’s ALL about the music. Just remember and honor our legacy, our heroes. They had a heart for their craft. It wasn’t for TWITTER LIKES AND MONEY.
WAYLON FOREVER! Don’t need that new crap. There must be a lot of people out there that like the new stuff but for me and a lot of others, you can count us out. Whoop! Whoop!
I'm sick of the political correctness. It's ridiculous that people can't be themselves and talk about who they are as an artist and a person. He was just saying he's not like the outlaw country musicians. I've been to see Luke Bryan and I've heard his story I do not believe that he meant any disrespect . Out of the respect and the goodness of his heart he apologized and now everybody needs to drop it and move on. I will always be a fan of ALL of those artists. ❤️🤠🤠🤠🤠
I think Luke Bryan was only stating that the outlaw country music fad was not his kind of music emphasizing the drugs, drinking etc. that Waylon, Merle and Willie sang. I don't think he was running them down he was just stating he didn't sing about those things.
Waylon, Merle, and Willie's music is not a fad. Lol. They sang about REAL life issues. Their music was honest and spoke from the heart. They didn't sing about dumb shit like do you think my tractors sexy or acky breakie heart. I'm not offended by your comment but calling their genre of music a fad is pretty foolish. Heck I don't even know who this Luke Bryan guy is. Never heard of him. Waylon, Merle and Willie on the other hand are legends and their talent will NEVER be seen again. If Luke Bryan's music is anything like all the other new country music it Sucks. It's basically pop music with fiddles. But then again most of the best music and artists are in fact from the good old days. There are a few good ones out there today but not many.
Luke is just boy band type, auto tuned product created by a record label for the least common denominator. Waylon will be around forever. Luke will be forgotten when he loses his record deal, just like the others like him.
Country singers today are standing on the shoulders of performers like Waylon, Willie, Merle and Johnny. They transcended musical genres with their songwriting, musicianship and live performances. He could have said what he was about without putting legends down. He owes them an apology.
Luke Bryan.... What a Joke!! He will never ever .....NOT IN THIS LIFETIME be or do even half of what WAYLON JENNINGS, WILLIE NELSON,& MERLE HAGGARD did with and for Country Music! Those are the TRUE LEGENDS!!!! ALWAYS WILL BE!!! They paved the way.... Put a road where there was none....Those are the TRUE LEGENDS!!!! LUKE BRYAN 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 A WANNABE... 😂
Well, a Jackass isn't a donkey. I was about 12 years old, called my Country Station and asked for Marty Robbins "Big Iron" the sweet little lady DJ said we don't play that anymore. When the kicked Waylon, Merle, Dolly, Tom T Hall, Loretta, Cash, off music row in 1983 country and western music died.
First off so glad to be a subscriber to this channel for years now. And about the Luke Bryan thing I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion but there are things that just shouldn't be posted on social media. Keep them to yourself.
Inadvertently dignifying comments & giving publicity by responding to a cat too young to remember pop tops on beer cans & probably has never had a cavity or a problem (traumatic childhood, addiction, etc) is rather odd. Industry plant? I don’t know about this gent’s history, his$ backers or his “music”, so I mean no disrespect, but at least he clarified and apologized…just my measly 2 cents. ✌️ Waylon Forever!
Have to agree, I can count on one hand the country singers that I’m sure Waylon would get along well with. To name just two Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson ❤️ I’m sure Waylon would agree🥰❤️
Whatever, lb. But, for sure, lb won't be remembered, revered, played, for one tenth as long as Waylon, Willie, Merle. In your dreams, lb. In your dreams. One tenth....how about one fiftieth...cause they won't be forgotten and left in the cobwebs. Lol @ you, lb. Lol @ you.
Why you should post something that happend in 2015???we are in 2023 and it is over 8 years ago!!!for attention and view?for made people Luke Bryan Hater???coungratulations!you did it!what was your point to post this in 2023???
Who is Luke Bryan?? I don't know but his apology seemed phony. I don't know as I wasn't there but it didn't sound sincere. I do know THIS. Waylon Jennings is one of the greatest there ever was or ever will be. PERIOD. RIP Waylon
I grew up on Merle, Waylon, and all those outlaws. I barely know the name Luke Bryan. It'll probably stay that way. I'm so tired of all this bland G-rated (so called) Country with no substance and no living behind it. It's all just garbage. It sounds like Luke what's-his-name needs a residency gig at Disneyland, where his music would be more suited and appreciated.
I am so glad for this program, i have been ticked at Bryan for awhile. When Shooter wrote"HeyBoywith the Baseball Hat" , I had a great laughand considered it closed, Now, who in their right mind could not like or absolutely love Waylon,? No One that I can think of. ThanksWaylon,Again, Sandra Stamford
Great job Kathy Jennings. Luke Bryan should just stick to bubblegum country and leave the history makers alone. "I don't think Hank would have done it this way."
Waylon is by far my favorite artist and I don’t really care for Luke Bryan, But what he said is how he feels and I don’t see anything wrong with it I mean it’s the truth all you have to do is read Waylons book I just wished people would quit letting (getting offended) stop people from telling the truth
Well said. And Waylon's music is legendary. He was human being with human experiences. Love Waylon, Willie, and that whole first-class Country Music Era, and I love Luke Bryan, too.
Omaha. Remember that song. I recall a gypsy woman. I am a Waylon fan always I love all of his songs like the two I mentioned above that I don't think even made the radio he had more hits than I could keep up with. I saw Waylon twice in concert and sat down and talked with him and Jessi when they were promoting his BQ sauce in 91 I am 54 years old I have been a fan since kindergarten. These new tracktor rap no way
Who the hell is Luke Bryan never heard of this guy. I guess that’s cause I don’t listen to todays crap. I new who Waylon was by the time I was 3. Luke Bryon lol 😂
This doesn’t matter but I’m 29 and I’m an old fashioned country music fan I listen to George Waylon lefty bill Anderson all the old stuff but I love Luke he’s genuine as hell and yeah he’s not like anybody we’ve ever seen in country music so what isn’t that what made country music country music dude sings about working on your deer plots and fishing drink with your buddy’s and chilling around a bon fire yeah he’s an industry artist so what that’s his path who are any of y’all to say this man isn’t country last time checked it wasn’t a pissing contest to see who deeper from the country 😂
Some people do make mistakes. Luke Bryan has done more good than bad. I really think this is nit picking to get some attention. This was 7 years or so ago. He apologized, let’s move on.
Luke Bryan, Like Ernest Tubb said "you can call it whatever you want just dont call it country" you stay a pretty boy and enjoy your career making teenagers come to your concert because you damn sure couldn't sing to an outlaw crowd without getting your ass ran off anyways
Doesn’t have a clue Waylon was real n lived what he wrote n he wasn’t a cookie cutter like you Waylon is n still is a star Waylon is # 1 n I can’t stand these fake musicians!
I've learned from both. Waylon taught me to use the phaser feature on an amp and Luke taught me how to change the station.
😂 Lol 👍
Literally same. haha
😂
Correct
There's only one way to listen to Luke Bryan throw his CD into a fire and play Waylon Jennings
Everyone has their opinion myself I love Waylon Jennings & Willie & Merle were some of the greatest & etc & country wouldn't be country without them. They made country music what it is today.. Luv waylon
Still love Waylon, Willie and the Boys!!

It's one thing to defend yourself, it's another to run down someone else to try and make yourself look better. He did the 2nd thing, and not only that he picked legends to run down.

Those names are the only country gold that has ever came out of his mouth. The whole modern country scene is a joke.
What Luke said was actually pretty funny I'm on Luke's side, the light side 🤣
He's only human he made a mistake he learned from his mistake let's move on with it forgive and forget
Agreed

Don't let Nashville, or the media, or even your best friend tell ya what kind of music to listen to. Music comes from one heart and moves another.
"The Outlaws" 1976 ALBUM was the first country LP to go platinum . It was the first time I listened to country music .
Don't like Luke Bryan don't like his music I like Old Time country

I think it’s great that he apologized…it shows who he is. That it mattered to Waylon’s sons says a lot about them and about Luke.
The Outlaws 1976 album was the first country LP to go platinum .
Music has proven to devolve more so than evolve.
@@Texasbluestunesciao amico! 🙋♀️😊😘💘🌅
Why is this being brought up now.2015 is the past.But i will say i loved waylon.All the highwaymen the best country music.I was never on drugs.But best country music while fishing and have a cold beer.God Bless yall
Waylon had more talent in his pinkie than Puke Brown has in BOTH LEGS of her skinny jeans.
Luke Bryan will never be the singer Waylon Jennings was, or Shooter Jennings!!!
I thought Outlaw country came from the movement from guys like Waylon to record their music their style and have some creativity their way ....am right, or did I miss something here?
Hello there Jessie nice meeting you here
You nailed it. All the more reason they should be respectful. Not just because of their amazing talent but because they also had character and integrity. Something very much lacking today
I know that Luke Bryan would never say anything against another legend country star. Like Waylon’s son said, when you give interviews to the press or magazine, they slice and dice it, to make it look diffirent than what Luke Bryan meant. What would he gain from doing it? A lot of angry country artists and fans, that’s what. So, for Luke Bryan to step up and apologize, like the man he is, l think was sincere and heartfelt. Yes, l am a fan of Luke Bryan, but l am still a fan of the late great Waylon Jennings. He was a legend and will always be a legend. So, well done, Luke! Love you!♥️🥰
OK... if Luke was a real cowboy he would have watched his words, then going to twitter to say he did a great interview... he called The Hag a drug addict... but the one thing i didn't understand is the entire thing it is too stupid to comprehend.
For me, I love them all for different reasons. What's sad is that we all say and do disrespectful things. I mean, look at all these comments. WOW! The strong, iconic men like Waylon, Willie, and Merle struck me as men who said their peace no matter who might be offended. They were true to who they were. I RESPECT that. Luke Bryan was true to himself. With a humble heart, he apologized. That was true to his nature. I RESPECT that. May Country Music live on!!!
Waylon, Willie, Merle or George were not angels, but insinuating they were laying a gutter is toooooooo low.
I grew up listening to Waylon,Willie,merle great singers love the music Luke Bryan I love his music to his a great singer to Mama's do let your kids grow up to be Luke Bryan fans and saying his music ain't good well your only saying that about him because what he said he apologize theres no use of calling him names putting him down and saying don't know his name then y'all got problems not him all of them where my favorites growing up
Hello there Susan nice meeting you here
Amen!
Waylon and Merle are my country hero's. Luke explained his position and also personally apologized to those families affected. He maned up and that's a lot more than most! Luke, you're okay in this old outlaw lovein country music fan's opinion, keep doing what you are doing, Hoss!!
This is old news; it's from July 2015!
Nope
Old LB stirred up another hornet's nest yet again
@ashley1994 wrong
He irked a lot of traditional country folk when the bro country in the crap came out country and rap fused together. Lost a lot of credibility that's all I'm going to say I'm not going to comment again.
I'm going to mute this post so I don't have to hear anything from
This is based off of an old interview that happened years ago. And by the sounds of it they've all straightened it out. So it's water under the bridge at this point. This was a pointless video. All it's going to do is stir the pot and make people angry for no reason.
Sometimes things said don’t always come out the way their actually meant. I have a friend who says all the time I say something and people take it wrong because apparently in my head I know what I’m saying but it comes out of my mouth differently and she always says I don’t know why that is . I don’t think for one second Luke was trying to knock the best country singers out there I think it was the way it came out that made people say that was disrespectful all in all I believe he was just stating he sings different songs then Waylon, Willie and Merle. Luke has a big heart has gone thru a lot in his life that by no means would he disrespect and country or any musician. What he said did not come out the way he meant it. Sometimes I would imagine when your being interviewed you don’t have time to think about what your saying. But after he said what he did he realized how it sounded and it bother him it was on his mind for several days. Bottom line is the songs Waylon Willie and Merle sang made them who they are the Best Country singers of their time and then some everyone loves them and no one could say anything to change that. I personally do not think Luke Bryan meant for that to come out the way it did
Amen I couldn't have said it any better myself
Luke Bryan wouldn't even qualify as a roadie for Waylon !
Merle Willie and Waylon were and are Country Music.
Country Music would be missing the major part of itself, Luke Bryan is alright, but Merle Willie and Waylon are musical geniuses that made the Country Music scene for what it was in their day and every day to this day. There is too much of a pop sound in the Country Music genre today.
And being more of a traditionalist, I am more at home with Patsy Cline, Marion Worth, and Jean Shepard.
As well Merle Haggard Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Glen Campbell. I do like Kimberly Kelly, Jenna Paulette, Ashley Ryan though cant say I ever had much for Mr.Luke Bryan nothing personal against him, but to see that he is a man who recognized his mistake in the offense he caused and sought to apologize. That says alot. Bravo Mr.Luke Bryan, I may not be a fan of your music per'se yet you gain my respect for your character. May ADONAI bless you.
Luke is new country which is crap compared to any of those guys mentioned. Waylon was a God compared to this over rated two faced punk!
People always mock Luke, so I think he was simply clarifying where hes coming from as a country artist. Because many try to compare him to other country artists.
I agree completely!! 👍 👍
Who do you think is the best just look .at the very best of all time Mr. Allen Jackson. Thanks Ga. Boy.
@@petedaniels16 its Alan Jackson, not Allen. I'm a Georgia girl too. I love Alan Jackson. He's has always been 100% Country. It wasn't because he's a Georgia Boy that I love him, it's his music, his songs. That touched me from his very first song, Here in the real world. He's remained true to who he is. His music has got me through some rough time. Listening to his songs mean a lot to me. He sings from his heart. In all the years I've been a fan, he still remain true to country. Next to him I choose George Strait. I agree with you. I can put on any one of Alan cds and i feel better. It make me mad that once a Artist get a certain age. They don't play their music any more. I still have all my Cassets. I buy all of Alan Jackson records. I agree with him that country music isn't really country any more. I rarely find many of today's artists are true, or pure country. I love the Artist i love. I won't apologize. I love willie, waylon, and Merle's. I just love pure country over what some call today's country music, or pop country. Many are gone. Not many true country music singers are left. Thankfully i have the music i can play what i love any time i want. God Bless.👍✌🖖💕. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita james. 🙂👋.
@@neitajames6029 I agree with everything you said, I love all of the great stars irealy love Alan. Jackson
@@petedaniels16 Earl Thomas Conley had the best voice to me.
Waylon's generation was country!!! This new stuff is a mix between rap and hip hop. I do not consider today's country country but weak. Just like the generation it's self. Can't even get them to man up for the protection of their country. Most of the old country singers served their country. What's your excuse. For riding off the freedom they produced for ya also.
Sounded to me like Luke was bashing Waylon, Willie, Merle and some of the rest of our heroes for the things they did, minus the being in the gutter. I love ALL of our old heroes. Yes, they did things but changed their ways. I like some of Luke’s music. But, I don’t listen to alot of new country. Just certain artists and/or songs. Country isn’t the same anymore. I don’t really believe in labels. But, DON’T disrespect our heroes. They paved the way for the new stuff. If you have good music then it doesn’t matter. It’s ALL about the music. Just remember and honor our legacy, our heroes. They had a heart for their craft. It wasn’t for TWITTER LIKES AND MONEY.
WAYLON FOREVER! Don’t need that new crap. There must be a lot of people out there that like the new stuff but for me and a lot of others, you can count us out. Whoop! Whoop!
Waylon could sing the yellow pages and make a number one hit! Fortunately Hick Hop isn't my kinda music!
Who? Luke warm, oh Luke Bryan. Who's that ..
I'm sick of the political correctness. It's ridiculous that people can't be themselves and talk about who they are as an artist and a person. He was just saying he's not like the outlaw country musicians. I've been to see Luke Bryan and I've heard his story I do not believe that he meant any disrespect . Out of the respect and the goodness of his heart he apologized and now everybody needs to drop it and move on. I will always be a fan of ALL of those artists. ❤️🤠🤠🤠🤠
I agree with ya
Amen and that includes LUKE MUTHA F**KIN BRYAN
Well I be damn. Luke just lost another fan.......me.
Waylon will forever be a legend in country music. Luke Bryan not so much.
He shouldn’t have said laying in the gutter on drugs,that was too hard. other than that i think he was just trying to say that’s not who he is
Wouldn’t waste a $ on ur music I still listen to real country
I think Luke Bryan was only stating that the outlaw country music fad was not his kind of music emphasizing the drugs, drinking etc. that Waylon, Merle and Willie sang. I don't think he was running them down he was just stating he didn't sing about those things.
Waylon, Merle, and Willie's music is not a fad. Lol. They sang about REAL life issues. Their music was honest and spoke from the heart. They didn't sing about dumb shit like do you think my tractors sexy or acky breakie heart. I'm not offended by your comment but calling their genre of music a fad is pretty foolish. Heck I don't even know who this Luke Bryan guy is. Never heard of him. Waylon, Merle and Willie on the other hand are legends and their talent will NEVER be seen again. If Luke Bryan's music is anything like all the other new country music it Sucks. It's basically pop music with fiddles. But then again most of the best music and artists are in fact from the good old days. There are a few good ones out there today but not many.
Luke Bryan? Who’s Luke Bryan
Luke is just boy band type, auto tuned product created by a record label for the least common denominator. Waylon will be around forever. Luke will be forgotten when he loses his record deal, just like the others like him.
Country singers today are standing on the shoulders of performers like Waylon, Willie, Merle and Johnny. They transcended musical genres with their songwriting, musicianship and live performances. He could have said what he was about without putting legends down. He owes them an apology.
We changed from disco to country with the release of "The Outlaws " album in 1976. ( I was 20 something yrs old)
Luke Bryan....
What a Joke!! He will never ever .....NOT IN THIS LIFETIME be or do even half of what WAYLON JENNINGS, WILLIE NELSON,& MERLE HAGGARD did with and for Country Music!
Those are the TRUE LEGENDS!!!!
ALWAYS WILL BE!!!
They paved the way....
Put a road where there was none....Those are the TRUE LEGENDS!!!!
LUKE BRYAN 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
A WANNABE... 😂
Hello there Sandra nice meeting you here
Maybe it's time Luke got back to the basics of love...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well, a Jackass isn't a donkey. I was about 12 years old, called my Country Station and asked for Marty Robbins "Big Iron" the sweet little lady DJ said we don't play that anymore. When the kicked Waylon, Merle, Dolly, Tom T Hall, Loretta, Cash, off music row in 1983 country and western music died.
First off so glad to be a subscriber to this channel for years now. And about the Luke Bryan thing I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion but there are things that just shouldn't be posted on social media. Keep them to yourself.
Amen shooter!!!
He was wrong what he said pretty messed up but he made the right move calling up the family and apologizing
HUNYA
Don't matter what Luke Bryan did I still love him and always will
Her.
Remember folks…This is the guy who rhymed “up” with “cup” so let’s all cut him some slack.
Inadvertently dignifying comments & giving publicity by responding to a cat too young to remember pop tops on beer cans & probably has never had a cavity or a problem (traumatic childhood, addiction, etc) is rather odd. Industry plant? I don’t know about this gent’s history, his$ backers or his “music”, so I mean no disrespect, but at least he clarified and apologized…just my measly 2 cents. ✌️ Waylon Forever!
She is 100% right about Waylon.
Have to agree, I can count on one hand the country singers that I’m sure Waylon would get along well with. To name just two Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson ❤️ I’m sure Waylon would agree🥰❤️
The fact that Luke thinks he does country music is appauling.
Whatever, lb. But, for sure, lb won't be remembered, revered, played, for one tenth as long as Waylon, Willie, Merle. In your dreams, lb. In your dreams. One tenth....how about one fiftieth...cause they won't be forgotten and left in the cobwebs. Lol @ you, lb. Lol @ you.
Why you should post something that happend in 2015???we are in 2023 and it is over 8 years ago!!!for attention and view?for made people Luke Bryan Hater???coungratulations!you did it!what was your point to post this in 2023???
Who is Luke Bryan?? I don't know but his apology seemed phony. I don't know as I wasn't there but it didn't sound sincere. I do know THIS. Waylon Jennings is one of the greatest there ever was or ever will be. PERIOD. RIP Waylon
Luke let his mouth run away with him, but he Manned Up & Apologized. It's a Done & Over with Deal.
Lesson learned. Choose ur words carefully. Always think before you speak.
Pick up truck , drinking beer. 😂. The worst of modern country
I grew up on Merle, Waylon, and all those outlaws. I barely know the name Luke Bryan. It'll probably stay that way. I'm so tired of all this bland G-rated (so called) Country with no substance and no living behind it. It's all just garbage. It sounds like Luke what's-his-name needs a residency gig at Disneyland, where his music would be more suited and appreciated.
Luke used those singers names to define the era. My first thoughts ... You prick. Then he handled it like a true man. Seems all is cool.
I am so glad for this program, i have been ticked at Bryan for awhile. When Shooter wrote"HeyBoywith the Baseball Hat" , I had a great laughand considered it closed, Now, who in their right mind could not like or absolutely love Waylon,? No One that I can think of. ThanksWaylon,Again, Sandra Stamford
Great job Kathy Jennings. Luke Bryan should just stick to bubblegum country and leave the history makers alone. "I don't think Hank would have done it this way."
I literally couldn't name one of luke Bryant's songs
Waylon is by far my favorite artist and I don’t really care for Luke Bryan, But what he said is how he feels and I don’t see anything wrong with it
I mean it’s the truth all you have to do is read Waylons book
I just wished people would quit letting (getting offended) stop people from telling the truth
Well said. And Waylon's music is legendary. He was human being with human experiences. Love Waylon, Willie, and that whole first-class Country Music Era, and I love Luke Bryan, too.
All this whining and bitching sure don’t sound country at all.
And who is Luke Bryan?? No one gives a crap what little luke says. In my opinion Kermit the frog sounds better than Luke Bryan.
Omaha. Remember that song. I recall a gypsy woman. I am a Waylon fan always I love all of his songs like the two I mentioned above that I don't think even made the radio he had more hits than I could keep up with. I saw Waylon twice in concert and sat down and talked with him and Jessi when they were promoting his BQ sauce in 91 I am 54 years old I have been a fan since kindergarten. These new tracktor rap no way
Who the hell is Luke Bryan never heard of this guy. I guess that’s cause I don’t listen to todays crap. I new who Waylon was by the time I was 3.
Luke Bryon lol 😂
Anybody that has said something they regret understands
I think he handled it perfectly
This seems like Luke Bryan fake dramatic news for headlines.
I love Waylon, Willie and Merl. I can't stand Luke Bryan or hot head Jason Aldean.
This doesn’t matter but I’m 29 and I’m an old fashioned country music fan I listen to George Waylon lefty bill Anderson all the old stuff but I love Luke he’s genuine as hell and yeah he’s not like anybody we’ve ever seen in country music so what isn’t that what made country music country music dude sings about working on your deer plots and fishing drink with your buddy’s and chilling around a bon fire yeah he’s an industry artist so what that’s his path who are any of y’all to say this man isn’t country last time checked it wasn’t a pissing contest to see who deeper from the country 😂
Y’all Gotta Really watch how you speak in public. Waylon fans will rip you apart.
Luke Bryan owes..all of country music an apology.
Some people do make mistakes. Luke Bryan has done more good than bad. I really think this is nit picking to get some attention. This was 7 years or so ago. He apologized, let’s move on.
Luke Bryan,
Like Ernest Tubb said "you can call it whatever you want just dont call it country" you stay a pretty boy and enjoy your career making teenagers come to your concert because you damn sure couldn't sing to an outlaw crowd without getting your ass ran off anyways
Doesn’t have a clue Waylon was real n lived what he wrote n he wasn’t a cookie cutter like you Waylon is n still is a star Waylon is # 1 n I can’t stand these fake musicians!
F Luke Bryan
I agree
Love the daughter in law video response
You're walking on the fightin' side of me if you're running down Merle Haggard!
I’ll take Waylon Jennings in a gutter over Luke Bryan on a mountain any day !!
Willie is overrated. He was only tolerable because of Waylon.
Waylon was real country music puke was tractor rap !
