When I was a kid, he was the guy in the Stampede music video. But now that I've got to know about him and more of his music, he's a legend. I don't think I've ever seen someone with so many personal anecdotes from someone who knew them on the internet as much as I see of Chris. Glad you got to know him.
Hey Conner tell the ledoux family hope to see them at rodeo some time I’m a young bull rider myself Chris ledouxs songs help me get pumped up for every ride I’m sure Chris is smiling up stairs
I saw Chris Ledoux In concert, it was either 95 or 96 Holly Dunn came on before him it was a great concert. The man was super human. He did so much in so little time. I believe it is all any man or a woman could ask for in life………… God bless, Chris Ledoux………
My dad did two tours in nam Chris ledoux was his fav My dad wasnt much to me but he still was a Vietnam veteran Which to this dad I'm still proud of He burnt all our baby pictures to get back at my mom if she didn't come back he was nothing But I'm number 600
I was just a kid but I grew up north of Monroe about 45 minutes on ol highway 9.. I remember my cousin and his friend went to see em there. They were so excited. I remember copying the tapes they got on my old boom box for em
im a bull rider and every time i have won a championship or got higher than eighty eight points i listened to this first love Chris ledoux i miss him so much
Back when Cowboys were real cowboys and didn’t ride with helmets, face masks etc. most didn’t even wear vests either. I remember those days. The Charles Sampson, Jim Sharp, Tuff Hedeman, Cody Lambert, Cody Custer, Ty Murray, Ted Nuce, Jerome Davis, Troy Dunn, Bubba Dunn, J.W. Hart & Don Gay days of Cowboy’n! They are the true Legends of the sport. Of course we can never forget the one and only Lane Frost!
Just because you ride with a helmet doesn’t make you not a cowboy, I guess you ain’t seen a bull bucked enough to see the bulls are getting bread to buck better than they did a year ago.
You realize vests and helmets only do so much right? People are still killed and hurt wearing them. Get your ass on a bull, then see where you stand after.
This and Cadillac Cowboy.. Hold tight with a leather fist... watch out when he starts to twist.. it's what their daddy's used to tell them boys how to ride them bulls. I feel a chris ledoux binge coming on!! Beer, LeDoux and Rodeo. Its going to be a good night! .its going to be a good night!
Haven't been to rodeo in years. Bull riding was always my favorite event to watch. No offense to pro riders, but I've always enjoyed non-pro competitions...little league, Jr high to college football, & local rodeos back when I knew some of the riders. Brent, you did GREAT job putting the rides to the song!! Amazing even! Thanks for reminding me of good times!!
I did have the opportunity to see him when he came to Fort Worth and had a concert at Billy Bob’s. His band was every bit as good as George Straits band. When they broke out doing the William Tell Overture I was completely blown away! Awesome night!
Here I am 30 years later after hearing Chris’s name first mentioned in a Garth song, finally listening to his incredible music. Man this stuff is fun to hear. Rock and roll sensibilities with country/ cowboy themes and a dash of Western Americana Mythos.
Who cares about who the riders or bulls were ? I'm here to listen to one of country's great singers. We need more Chris LeDoux and less Florida Georgia line crap !
Just to clarify Chris LeDoux rode bare back horses he rode bulls a little bit in collage until he dropped out and went pro. You might be thinking of Lane Frost.
darin kohl . Yeah . Bull , maybe not . But a championship rider nonetheless. And a true cowboy and great country artist. Not like today's fake cowboys. He was the real deal .
Randomly came across this video looking for something else...the rabbit hole that is youtube. I gotta love my bull riders/bull fighters. My "nephew" is a young bull rider and my heart stops everytime I see him. Tip ya'lls hats to these guys. Tougher then nails. I used to do barrels when I was a kid and I loved the feeling of going break neck speeds on my horses. #rodeosforever #cowgirlstuckinthecity #wideopenspaces
He died before I was born but once I found out he was a bull rider after I heard the music he just stuck with me I wish you were still here today brother
I rode my first bull TWISTER. In my high school rodeo in Odessa TX 1984. 7.3 seconds. I rode bulls for six years Unprofessional. Rodeo. There's no other high. Or low Than that 8 second ride. I'm 52 now. And would ride Again if and when I get the chance. God bless Chris ledoux!!!
I've met a lot of guys who thought they were tough. I always told 'em "if you've never strapped yourself to 2000 lbs of pissed off, you still got a ways to 'tough'"
I've never rode a bull, but I've dealt with a few mean ones, and let me tell you, it isn't a cakewalk dealing with a 2000 pound animal that's throwing a temper tantrum.
I could only imagine. People don't really get how crazy that is. I always tell people think about how hard it is to control your 60 pound dog and then imagine trying to control a 2000 pound bull. It's like trying to control a car.
Eight seconds ride is my favorite Chris LeDoux song. A friend of mine used to ride bulls until his career ending injuries. He says this song tells it like it is. RIP Chris LeDoux
when i was riding bulls this was my song they played it every rodeo when i was on and still is to this day my number one song for everything i still love thius song till the day im put six feet under
They just showing the 8 second rides kacee wyoming had 2 second rides....love me some chris from Montana met him many times...from livingston...him an my dad were good friends...we were lucky to have people like chris an my father on this earth!!!
I used to live in K.C Wyoming right near where he used to live. My parents seen him ride once. Too bad he died before I was born. Sounds like he was cool.
Part of the reason his rodeo songs are this great is that he actually came from this sport. Chris Ledoux was the 1976 World Bareback Bronco Riding champion on the rodeo circuit. It's actually where he originally wrote many songs like this.
I knew Chris not only as a competitor but as a friend. I attended his funeral. He will be forever missed.
God bless you
When and how did he die?
He died in 2005 of cancer after 34 years of music and rodeo
@@DT-abcd 2007 I believe he had liver failure, but died from cancer.
When I was a kid, he was the guy in the Stampede music video. But now that I've got to know about him and more of his music, he's a legend. I don't think I've ever seen someone with so many personal anecdotes from someone who knew them on the internet as much as I see of Chris. Glad you got to know him.
Chris is my great grandfather! And after this video im even more proud of it!
Your great grandfather was a good man. I love his music. Too bad he died young.
Hey Conner tell the ledoux family hope to see them at rodeo some time I’m a young bull rider myself Chris ledouxs songs help me get pumped up for every ride I’m sure Chris is smiling up stairs
@@abeward9820 where are you out of? i can meet you sometime at a show and give you some real memorabilia?
@@ConnorPBR I’m from Pocahontas Arkansas
I saw Chris Ledoux In concert, it was either 95 or 96 Holly Dunn
came on before him it was a great concert. The man was super human. He did so much in so little time. I believe it is all any man or a woman could ask for in life………… God bless, Chris Ledoux………
I'm a retired bullrider we used to listen to this song as we were traveling to rodeos. Boy I miss those days.
I don't know one bulldlrider who didn't back in the day. LEGEND
I’ve got huge respect for bull riders. I know I don’t have the guts to ever try it. You guys are a special kind of crazy.
This was my jam on the way to meet my ex-girlfriend.
My husband rode Bareback horses with Chris LeDoux. Great great man.. His music is the best! Forever missed!
That’s right! Chris LeDoux also competed and rode bareback. He was more than an entertainer, he was a true Cowboy! R.I.P. Chris LeDoux
Yeah
Cool
Ol bareback jack
Awesome 👍
Chris Ledoux is a legend!
God rest his soul, and may his music live on forever!
My dad did two tours in nam Chris ledoux was his fav
My dad wasnt much to me but he still was a Vietnam veteran
Which to this dad I'm still proud of
He burnt all our baby pictures to get back at my mom if she didn't come back he was nothing
But I'm number 600
Chris recorded some great songs. Eight second ride is one of my favorites , then of course this cowboy's hat.
My Last Unit before retiring was the Cav. My Dad was in the Cav in 50. Grew up with the Rodeo. This song means a lot till this day.
Same
Like both songs and the Bull riding song boys open gate little bit crack😃
Blue Bonnet Blues always makes me remember my time in Texas.
Also Bareback Horses Song
Anybody who love Bull Riding would loves this song..... It captures the spirit of the moment.....
Chris was my wife's favorite singer. I was lucky enough to see him in laughlin. What a GREAT a small convert! RIP Chris! Never forgotten cowboy!
One of my favorite bulls was Bodacious. He hurt a few riders unfortunately but put on a heck of a show. Sadly he is gone but not forgotten
TCB comes to mind as well, he outlived Lane Frost by 10 years, after he killed Lane.
... a few unfortunate riders met their demise delivered by Bodacious.
@@enzomahalo2433 Crazy isn't it? The things we do for fun!
Lorenzo Williams Bodacious never killed anybody he hurt quite a few but he never killed anybody
@@rcowboy94 yeah he busted up tuff hedemans face
One hell of a good man to see in concert
Damn we lost another good one!!!! Your fan still miss you to this day! You created a legacy that will never be forgotten.
Sure do miss Chris LeDoux and his music. We list him much too soon.
my mom and dad got to see him a a rodeo they even got something signed
We miss you great cowboy 🤠
Still listening Chris...miss you in the country music world! Remembering the concert I went to...crowd was crazy!
Got to see Chris play at the Monroe fair in washington state in the mid 90's. What a performance! Legend. I play his music today. RIP Chris
I was just a kid but I grew up north of Monroe about 45 minutes on ol highway 9.. I remember my cousin and his friend went to see em there. They were so excited. I remember copying the tapes they got on my old boom box for em
@@bubbajulian7294 them where the days bro. Top notch country music.

Can't forget the guru Gary Leffew....different era yea but still.
Lane frost also
add Larry Mahan and Freckles Brown

I feel a chris ledoux binge coming on!! Beer, LeDoux and Rodeo. Its going to be a good night!
.its going to be a good night!
That is my favorite song also
Never got the chance to see Chris before he left the World,but sure listened to his Amazing Music, can only imagine a Concert would have been,
i wasn't born yet when he died but my mom and dad got to meet him and go to a concert of his.
Great video. God bless Chris Ledoux.
God bless Chris Ledoux!
I graduated high school in 1975, and rode bulls and bareback horses in high school and college. Chris Ledoux and Don Gay were my idols
Got to meet Chris after a show in Hanford......he was a good man. RIP
i saw him in hanford years ago,cracked me up when they pulled up chicken wire when he played copenhagen
Haha Chris...I have 100 scars due to Chris and I love everyone of them.... hell of a hero!
Sooo much respect for rodeo men n all those cowboys out there
cheers for the respect
Great American Cowboy Singer Songwriter he is truly missed by me and I'm sure a lot more LONG LIVE CHRIS LEDOUX!!!
killer song and video. hats off

Brent, you did GREAT job putting the rides to the song!! Amazing even! Thanks for reminding me of good times!!
Pretty sure bull riding started with "hold my beer" 🤣
Pretty sure it started with "my balls are bigger than yours" followed immediately by "hold my beer" 😄
have you ever heard of pump jack riding
😂
Wouldn’t suprise me lol
I’ve heard of pump jack riding and have done. Ride that iron ever hear of walking the pipe?
I did have the opportunity to see him when he came to Fort Worth and had a concert at Billy Bob’s. His band was every bit as good as George Straits band. When they broke out doing the William Tell Overture I was completely blown away! Awesome night!
Great song right to the point,first time hearing it great job Chris.
There is still to to this day any comparison
My favorite Country artist by far.
He is one of my favorites. It was such a loss for the music world, and more so for the rodeo cowboy performers
Here I am 30 years later after hearing Chris’s name first mentioned in a Garth song, finally listening to his incredible music.
Man this stuff is fun to hear.
Rock and roll sensibilities with country/ cowboy themes and a dash of Western Americana Mythos.
Chris was a Great Friend and Rodeo Rider . His Songs and Music is about history and His life along with certain traditions and Values
I love everything about this song true country music 🤠💯🎸♥️🤠💯🎸♥️♥️
Badass song.. And some dam good rides in this video
1 Heck of a song 👍👍
The greatest event is all of rodeo. When 8 seconds can seem like an eternity
The 41 people who disliked this song ain’t no cowboys and probably wear scarfs and ugg boots
Emilee Hignite it's not the fact that this people wear scarfs it's the fact they hate country music
John Wayne wore scarves and totally pulled it off!
Emilee Hignite there probably not even American
Emilee Hignite hello I love pbr
Emilee Hignite I work fuck you or not log
2022 .. Chris LeDoux you still fkn ROCK !
Who cares about who the riders or bulls were ? I'm here to listen to one of country's great singers. We need more Chris LeDoux and less Florida Georgia line crap !
Joe Pontiac I no right to bad he died at least he's still ranked the best bull rider in histiry
He died to young
Just to clarify Chris LeDoux rode bare back horses he rode bulls a little bit in collage until he dropped out and went pro. You might be thinking of Lane Frost.
darin kohl . Yeah . Bull , maybe not . But a championship rider nonetheless. And a true cowboy and great country artist. Not like today's fake cowboys. He was the real deal .
Hell ya
Wow, what an insanely phenomenal collection of bulls and rides! SO exciting!
Those UFC fighters saying a boxer wouldn't last 2 rounds in their world. You wouldn't last 8 seconds in mine
I'm a rodeo clown so I feel like I have huge balls as well buba ! Haha
Right. They'd break your arm and leave you permanently disfigured in half of 1 second though.
That's a dam fact!
@@mattalsip7660 yes sir your balls are just as big ! don't ever think your not appreciated, your just as important as the rider, thank you sir
AMEN!
Im always be a cowboy for the rest of my life and I can't stop it
When you're born cowboy, ya hasta be a cowboy.... just the way it is.

Yes sir chris this is why your one of my cowboy heros rest in peace chris your gone but not forgotten
Gone way too soon!!! He was a legend all of his own, a real man's man!!
I've met a lot of guys who thought they were tough. I always told 'em "if you've never strapped yourself to 2000 lbs of pissed off, you still got a ways to 'tough'"
*LeDouxs still the king* ☆☆☆
Chris everyone love(D) U
I've never rode a bull, but I've dealt with a few mean ones, and let me tell you, it isn't a cakewalk dealing with a 2000 pound animal that's throwing a temper tantrum.
Yes! But I’m addicted to work with them! What a powerful animal!
You ain't kidding!
I feel ya man i have too
I could only imagine. People don't really get how crazy that is. I always tell people think about how hard it is to control your 60 pound dog and then imagine trying to control a 2000 pound bull. It's like trying to control a car.
Amen to that. I watched a brama chase my boyfriend across a field, I almost peed my pants laughing. Thank God he was fast
Great 👍 👌 song and singer perfect song for a bull rider.
this is my favorite song of his
Eight seconds ride is my favorite Chris LeDoux song. A friend of mine used to ride bulls until his career ending injuries. He says this song tells it like it is. RIP Chris LeDoux

If you ride a bull your as bad ass as it gets
wyatt peters yeappers.
I ride bulls
Nice u ride bulls.
wyatt peters I ride mini bulls half of them are just as rank as big bulls

The best thing Garth ever did was introduce U.S. to Chris Ledoux.
I actually like Chris's music better.
