Country Music media is going to be pissed that the boys got these interviews.
Gotta take BK’s side here. He got done wrong and it’s very clear now.
Yeah you can just tell by the tone of his voice that he’s being sincere. Tyler knows he was in the wrong so just blamed “solo career”.
What a loser
Yep
Yeah, Huge respect for BK dont wanna turn his music political, Florida rocks. Tyler fall too easy for all of that virtuesignaling crap.
how is it clear they both just said the same thing w no facts
I just saw a clip of Tyler. I don’t believe him. I believe BK.
Loved this BK. Thanks for being our voice!
BK a real one for coming on the pod, shout out to the boys for making it happen. All love from Chicago 🙌🏼
The part that stood out to me is “ I’m speaking facts, not emotions”. Unfortunately that is what is dividing the Country right now. Half the country bases everything off of emotions and “feelings” opposed to logic and facts. God Bless BK🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of us would be able to sit down at the dinner table, enjoy fantastic conversation, and generally agree on most things if we had the chance. Obviously, there are outliers on both sides that would shit at this proverbial table, but in general, if we could remove all the emotion and hate that has been spoon-fed to us, we could and would all see a very similar future for the country and ourselves.. .
Hopefully, one day, we can get back to being a country of love and prosperity... All this hate and divisiveness has done nothing but tear us down.
@@weirdmood8102 💯 agree man.
It isn't half the country you said it like it's only Democrats that are emotional instead of factual. It is both sides it just goes back and forth depending on the issue. There are plenty of Republicans especially trump fans that will argue with a scientist that spent his entire life dedicated to something when they read one article of pure propaganda and take it as facts
@@weirdmood8102 Well said!!!
Feels like BK is just your down to earth guy. Understands the small town struggles,and just wants everybody to be happy. Tyler clearly got money hungry and wanted to outshine BK. That's pretty clear. The fact that he cut it off because BK voiced an opinion that millions of other Americans felt is unreal...
That’s just how the left were at the time and still are today.
what did tyler say or do that makes him money hungry and want to outshine BK
Will listen to BKs music everyday after this to support him.
The fact that Tyler thought Brian’s music would’ve been watered down is uncalled for
He wasn't saying Tyler said BK music would be watered down. He said Tyler said it would water down FGL
@@brettboone4331it wouldn’t though. Plenty of bands/duos do the solo stuff on the side and still make everything work
@@jackiewalsh9652 Rob Thomas and Matchbox 20 are a great example of that
Tyler Hubbard playing for Biden is so on brand.
snowflake
Lmao right. I didn’t know that. I know THub is a left winger which sucks.
@@Kyle-rz3gpnow that he’s exposed. The fake accent will dissolve and he will probably turn his kids trans and shit.
He lost all credibility at that moment
He looks really dumb now. Let's go Brandon. 😂
Tyler Hubbard being offended by the American flag and disrespecting blue collar workers is not country.
On brand with that side of America
I don't like Tyler but I don't think it was the American flag it sounded like it was a Trump Flag. That still ridiculous that he would get offended over that.
Who cares?
I’m guessing the other flag was a Fjb flag 😂
They did fight over Trump. Tim McGraw did a song with Tyler about not being divided, addressing the chaos and division going on. They had differences of opinion. Tyler is known for being a good guy. A stand up guy. A guy who is a big time writer, and the voice we all here in FGL. Part of the disagreements were because Tyler was thinking of his children, and what he thinks about their future. BK is known for being the opposite kinda guy. They have no kids, and his stuff is still in a different place. One way or another, it boiled down to differences of opinions abd direction. Tyler still sounds the same as always, and still pumping out songs. It does seem that BK is not seeing the success he thought he'd have on his own, and other artists have been more supportive to Tyler, business is as usual, whereas not so with BK. Tyler being the writer and voice, he was able to restart and climb right back up. You can't blame him for his success, and if you liked FGL, than you like Tyler, and can't disregard him. If you want to support BK and see what he is able to accomplish, sounds good, but you can't discount Tyler and his songs (regardless of additional people being added on a song), if you're a fan of FGL.
You can tell BK was the one hurt in this. How quickly TH released a solo album shows he already had it in his back pocket ready to go before BK was even ready. Tinfoil hat time it was probably all fueled by the record lable because TH music was/is more radio market music, and BK has more of a beach/ 90's country vibe, which is less marketable on the radio.
Bk released his album like a year before Tyler lol. But I’m still a bk guy.
That 4 song collection BK first put out had some damn good songs on it too. Made By The Water! @@Roger-il8iw
Tyler released his single with Tim McGraw a year before BKs album. Before the last FGL album dropped
Undivided is embarrassing. BK, you’re too kind brother. Tyler should thank you for not trashing him the way you could have
Hubbard is a Biden guy .... Says it all
Yep. Tyler clearly a lying POS
Well said. BK has always been and will be a class act.
That song sucked so bad.
BK, you’re the man! Stay true to yourself! 🇺🇸 God Bless
I've done security work and personal bodyguard work for FGL, and with my experience dealing with FGL and listening to other security personnel talking, Tyler wasn't the friendliest person to deal with and his wife was a complete b!tch and caused problems but BK was cool and down to earth. He would shake our hands, thank us and talk with us. There was always an inside joke that they weren't going to stay together. They are night and day as personalities. I really hope BK has a successful solo career.
Thanks for sharing this inside info. From the start of what I was hearing, I was already leaning towards BK. In the videos I've seen, TH seems so prideful. Betcha BK's wife is a b*tch. Is she a lot older than him? I'm not a FGL fan but I recall seeing a wedding photo. Maybe, I'm thinking of Dan & Shay or whoever. It's apparent that TH is all about the industry.
We stand with BK 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’ve had multiple conversations with BK, and I’m glad he is getting his story out. He’s a genuine guy, and super down to earth, and all about family and fun. Great questions were asked, and this explains it all. Great interview.
You can just sense he is a humble sincere guy. BK is a huge dog lover too, he owns 4 sheperds. Team BK all the way
Tyler as the “Front Man” of FGL was scared that when BK came out with solo stuff, that everyone will find out that BK is the better signer.
Yes!!!!!! Tyler drowned out BK's voice in the group. He knew if people got to really hear Brian, he wouldn't be the lead voice anymore. Brian has such a better voice.
Tyler’s voice is absolutely 💯 better then bk it’s just facts name a fgl song that doesn’t sound like a Tyler’s solo songs
@@bretthowey6389Tyler's voice is garbage compared to BK's lol
Hubbard played Biden's inauguration?! Haha now thats funny. Its a big tell .... l stand with BK
sensitive
@@David-dg9vu sensitive that the Biden supporter came on the pod and lied about actually ruining the band over being .... Sensitive ... Damn kid, Don't think too hard. Don't want ya to pass out
so sensitive 😂
@@David-dg9vusensitive to a commie destroying the country. You betcha.
FJB in just 4 years he has got us involved in 2 new wars, inflation is out of control and there is a major company lay off every week. Sensitive to care about the American people according to Libs I guess. Keep watching cnn and updating your boosters.
TH is a big lib?? This is starting to add up 😂
Tyler needs to go pop after this podcast. He doesn’t belong in country. BK can’t wait for the album.
I thought they had always been pop.
@@roostershifflettYou thought wrong.
@janetsminten8196 🤣🤣Well they sure wasn't Country! Them and alot of others from 2000 - present could not have even been opening act in the 70's - 90's.
Tyler playing for Biden is a fucking L
Yep Biden is the worst President of all time.
Alongside Tim McGraw, and with Geirge W. Bush at the memorial. This is what we've come. Bashed anyone who isn't for burning it all down and hating on everyone and everything. Bush said it accurately. He couldn't run as a republican in today's climate. Sad.
I always had a strange feeling about Tyler Hubbard
He looks like a crack head, got them crazy eyes.
You know Tyler heard what he wanted to from Brian! I think it was pretty clear even before they ended FGL that Tyler wanted to go solo. Just look at how quick Tyler went out there solo prior to Brian. Brian could have sunk Tyler so shout out to Brian for doing it respectfully.
Tyler Hubbard is a prime example of getting rich and becoming out of touch.
If Hubbard is still playing FGL songs without BK... We will banish him to Hollywood with the rest of the scum.
That ship already sailed!
I'm no Hubbard fan, or FGL honestly...but Hubbard sang like 99% of their songs as the lead vocalist. As long as he's not singing a song BK wrote on I don't see why. he shouldn't be able to
@MeTube1988 I didn't even know BK sang..or could sing 🤷🏽♀️
@@MeTube1988That's because BK was the better singer and Tyler didn't want to be outshined.
listening to kiss my boots for the first time right now, that song is blatantly about hubbard lmao
Facts
😂
I will miss FGL, but after the fallout, I'm loving hearing BK's voice clearly, front and center! Even Kix Brooks sang lead vocals on a released Brooks and Dunn song...but they wouldn't do it for BK. He got the shit end of a stick for a while. I'm sad it ended the way it did, but BK's heart is in the right place. I will never support Hubbard ever again until he acknowledges what a punk ass he was towards his "brother" and apologizes. #kissmyboots
Thanks for having BK on for his side of the story. I’m still a fan of both.
I’m a local near Grayton and went to Surf Post sessions twice the last time he did it and it was truly one of my favorite concert experiences of all time - love ya BK!!!
Tyler Hubbard is a raging liberal and not a good person you can tell by the way he handled this breakup
Are any of them good people, or do they just pretend to be?
Yep. Total d-bag. He’s probably extra salty seeing how the last 4 years went for the president he performed for
I think Tyler's wife has him by the balls and he's to cowardly to be the man.
Wait, I thought Brian was the liberal.
@@lorrainehamilton2479 nooooo definitely not. Brian is a good dude with a good head on his shoulders.
Bk is the man… I met him at a pop up show in Atlanta and man…talk about a genuine guy. I’ve always wanted to to call sxm the highway and call them out live on the radio for not playing BK songs
Sounds like once McGraw asked TH to join him on a song that was gonna be played on a huge political stage, he realized that was his opportunity to launch his solo career and basically just fucked over BK in the process.
Was never a huge fgl fan but might be a Brian Kelly fan now
"Made By The Water" by BK is a Summer Banger
Same man!!
Taylor trying to get all headlines 😂😂
Bk is a man of the people impossible not to love this man!
The timing of the ads are impeccable
BK’s albums are both absolutely incredible. Hard to believe he didn’t get to sing more on the FGL tracks. My favorite country artist right now. Incredible music! Keep it up!
Tyler Hubbard is a lib. Enough said
and if he is so what? Lmao
@@Wooosaaahhh victim mentality and emotional decision maker
@@Wooosaaahhh Enough said.
@@Wooosaaahhh sensitive, trying to push his opinions on people, use the media to paint his partner in a bad light because of his politics should I go on?
@@maxmcewen8402 the people in these comments talking about libs seem more sensitive than anyone else
Such a great human being! Thank you for wanting to help the Shepherds and kiddos! Your ranch will be amazing. Keep giving us your awesome music. ❤
Sunshine State of Mind blew my mind....and still does. One of my favorite albums of all time. Ever song speaks to my heart and soul. @briankelley
Brian Kelly was on the stage RNC 2024 and he sang American spirit 🇺🇸🙏🏼❤️ Loved it 🇺🇸🙏🏼❤️
Loved this one! You guys always do a great job.
Man hope they can settle their differences. Miss some FGL music.
Well Tyler is a little bitch so probably not gonna happen
This flipped me to team BK
"Doing it all" (solo & together) is an incredible idea. After reading comments, it's apparent people still want to hear FGL. Why not perform solo material too. Never been a big FGL fan but I became interested in this story. Everyone needs to hear both sides of anything to have an opinion. @ 21:31 wow, IMO Tyler should've handled that privately. He knows how people are on the Internet looking for any tiny drop of drama. Everything Brian has said can be backed up. He's sharing facts not drama. For me, coming from an unaware & unbiased opinion & now being able to hear both sides, I'm definitely riding with BK. I stand for everything he stands for. My Dad was also a Deputy Sheriff & we fly the Red, White & Blue proudly in our front yard. We're a blue collar family.
TH seems to be more industry oriented & associated with that crowd. Do as I say or you won't have a say! @ 58:08 heck yeah, Brian. Your folks did a great job raising you. I'm actually going to take the time to listen to the entire album. I also like songwriters. For as long as I can remember, I'd always look to see who the writers were of a song. That started to fade in the 2000's when Music Row exploded with songwriters for rent. Ha, that could be a title to a song. It killed unique creativity. Every song started to sound the same. Thanks, for having Brian on. I actually listened to the entire podcast.
Tyler went out and even stole BK’s haircut after going solo
No BK slander by myself, but TH was the original long haired amigo in that duo!
Love BK!.... Will buy the album (I'm a songwriter myself so I can't wait to hear it)
37:15 I 100% believe this statement... BK is keeping it all the way real boys
I believe every word he said with some people you can just tell that they're genuine and humble and hes one of them
Always been team BK ever since I saw them for the first time in a tiny cornfield in 2013 and met him such a down to earth guy!!
I remember watching them in San Jose in 2012 at a very small bar that was booked before "Cruise" took off. They sounded great. I feel like their first 2 albums were really good then they lost me. It was a hell of a show though.
I'm definitely getting Bryan's record
Due to a divorce I quit listening a long time ago but checked some music out here and there BUT think of how dope it would be for them doing FGL and then rock their best singles out TOGETHER during shows? That vibe would've made people's entire night at those shows. Kudos for being a stand up legit dude
Much respect for BK for clarifying and for speaking his truth❤
Glad BK is speaking the truth!
So glad I heard this. I’m a big BK fan now!!!!❤
You can tell this guy speaks the truth!
Love BK’s new album. Thank you for supporting us blue collar folk. 💙
I believe BK!
This is very interesting & informative. I honestly thought their political views were the opposite of what they actually are. BK handled this with integrity imo
Good show on a short week!
The whole situation just makes me sad- for everyone. Saw FGL back when Morgan Wallen was first coming up and toured with them... one of my favorite memories! I hope they can one day work it all out😢
Don't want to take sides, but does seem like Tyler kind of threw BK under the bus. Sad that it is where it is. That said, didn't know Brian had such a great voice! Love his music and lyrics! Great songwriter and singer! His voice is country perfect!! Very happy for his Tennessee Truth success!
I definitely just bought BKs album after listening to this pod.
Incredible boys!! WE FUCKING LOVE IT! Huge week for the brand!!! FGL music definitely country pop bangers itll be cool to see what BK comes up with outside of FGL ima check it out!
The boys are the best in the biz!!
Love BKs new music! He’s right they should have worked together and released a double album with 12 to 15 songs from each of them.
BK = Kendrick & Tyler = Drake
I knew Tyler wasn’t being honest ! We support you BK
These podcasts and all the media that’s gonna be around them is either gonna bring them back together or completely destroy it for good 🤷🏻♂️
I think if they were to get back together people would eventually remember that they actually had a lot of shitty music and that the drama distracted that fact
Good job to the boys navigating the waters. Hopefully in the sake of good karma these other boys figure it out and make good but credit to the boys on the bus getting a story out there that everyone was curious about
Surf Post Sessions are the best!! BK please release more of those songs like Saltwater Ranch & American Spirit.
It was weird to not have the sponsor mention every 10 minutes!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
BK says “you know” every other word!
It's a southern tick thang, ya know?
Thanks for this… didn’t hear it til I read your comment and now I can’t stop hearing it.
Tyler is obviously trying to play the victim here. I had originally thought the other way. And Tyler also wants to claim FGL songs because he still plays them at his solo shows. I've seen both of them this year.
I watched a video of him doing cruise and it pissed me off
No intro better than the new intro
💀🤣
Seems to my Tyler came on here to make himself look best he could not thinking BK would make a phone call to come tell some truth.....
Kiss my boots is a banger actually
Gotta respect the boys friendship here. Fire interview
We support you BK!!!
I got both his cds today in the mail. I love listening to him sing!
I ain’t taking sides, I’m glad to hear BK’s side and it holds a lot of merit. Looking at the bigger picture, neither seems to be the entire sole reason for separation. The big concern seems to be around the time when Tyler unfollowed and said he likes BK better in person than online. If those differences get settled, FGL will perform together again. It still may be years to come yet, but I’m sure it will happen eventually.
Tyler is a snake 🐍
I think it’s time for the both of them to hash it out on the pod
It doesn’t sound like BK was unreasonable with his idea to keep in the band and do some solo projects. Tyler said no but then does a collaboration with Tim McGraw for Biden inauguration a short time after ? Weird. It’s understandable for Brian to feel slighted. Why was Tyler so unreasonable? Then Tyler unfollowed BK because he’s a Trump supporter. He doesn’t sound like a good friend. I think Tyler thinks he was the star of FGL and has a big ego. Hes been untruthful about the reasons for the split to sound likes he’s innocent in it and a nice guy. I don’t think he is and he and his wife went Hollywood. He’s out for himself and wants to associate with a different crowd.
The band Hanson has done a really good job of allowing each brother to have solo freedom while never breaking up the band, and they've been consistently releasing music since 1997.
Their last album, Red Green Blue, was basically a compilation of 3 EPs where they each made their own music.
This is actually really cool.
@@StopTalkinTrey yeah I think so too!
I feel like when there's a band or duo who decides they want to go solo, one or all of the remaining members are either painted in a negative light or the person wanting to go solo is. I'm not exactly sure if this is a tactic to get the solo artist more sympathy fans but as a fan of FGL, I feel like if they both want to go solo then I can respect that, what I cannot respect is the lying or malicious ulterior motive towards gaining a larger following/fandom by lying. If what Brian is saying is true then Tyler needs to publicly apologize. It will ultimately affect Brian's career otherwise. This breaks my heart 💔
What an amazing interview!,
Was at your last concert in Minny. Hope yall get back together. Seems like it could happen. Wish you luck BK. We don’t share same political beliefs but that’s not what life is about. Love your solo stuff and your FGL work. Same with Tyler.
We love BK!! Met him several times over the years and have been a day 1 fan!
Good ol boys always come out clean
For the boys
Much respect for Brian!!
The boys!
ngl I kind of hate FGL and the trend they created in country music but I did prefer BK out of the two of them. This sort of affirms that, hubb did him kind of dirty, saying one thing and then doing another. Also pushing away your "brother" for having differing views on politics is nuts. I wouldn't have a single friend if i did that
I have a new respect for this Cat ! I totally believe they will reunite and have massive success performing just what BK said , a segment of an FGL set featuring their solo hits - this is totally feasible. It also gives BK a chance to “Shine On” singing more leads
At the end of day there are 3 sides to the truth. They both were talking but the each weren't listening. Good Luck to them both. Also time lines don't lie!
10 years and I didn't even know this guy sang
Bet you can’t get them both on at once
So good to hear truth.
Boys... Please get them on a podcast together...
Love them both still
