I grew up listening to Hank Jr. Now I am 45, still can't get enough. He tells great country stories in his songs. His true grit is hard to find in other artists. You rule Hank. Love you in Southern California.
Have saw Hank several times, most of the time he would really ripped and be in the middle of one song and go right into the other. Then I have saw him when he would play every instrument and never miss a beat. Hell of an entertaining person. He is a not always as arrogant as you see on TV and pod cast interviews. He is actually a super nice person.
@@22lyric Surely you're joking? Imagine if someone categorized your entire life by one brief moment of anger. I'm sure you haven't always been pleasant.
I met him at Toostsies on Broadway in Nashville, he was in the private booth and invited me in, bought me a shot. Amazing night. He was insanely nice, though I wouldn't say he was modest lol.
He has made great music And has made a stamp in the genre but he is an arrogant bastard most the time. I've watched several interviews with him and he is always acting like he's a foot above the grass he walks on.
He never compensates nothing why you think he's kicked off of everybody's shows and now he's going to these TH-camrs he's an a****** you guys will keep kissing it
How did he make it to the Hall of Fame he's a straight-up ass and his new album oh my gosh it sound like crap he's got to quit deep in those cigars it's messing his voice up and they done a lot of work trying to get his voice to sound right and they just couldn't get it right but they put it out anyways cuz they know you guys will buy it
I got into Hank 3 first and along the way I discovered how amazing and just flat out cool Hank jr is. My grandpa and and great grandpa were Hank sr fans. It’s a family tradition 🤘🏻
"Move Over Little Dog, Cause The Big Dog's Coming In" !!! LMFAO !! BOCEPHUS !!!❤❤❤❤❤ Hank Jr. Has the best God Given Voice in the Buisiness!!!!❤ Bocephus can Sing anything and do it better than anyone !° Would love to see more of him on Live TV !° He is The Original Hillbilly Rocker Blues Man !!!!❤❤❤ He has more talent in his pincki finger than any of these new country artists !!!! A True Living Legend !! HANK WILLIAMS JR. !!!!
I've been a fan of his all my life. It seems though,that he has confused badass independence with blatant rudeness. Maybe he has gotten to the point in his life that someone needs to remind him that he is there because of the people who buys his music and the people who talks about and plays his music on line and on the radio. He should stop acting like it's such a pain in the ass to do an interview. He should know that if you want to remain relevant, you have to pay your dues. You never stop paying dues until you are ready to hang it up.
Hank Williams Sr. Was a talent byond ( any hard) competition...such a gifted man...why, at such a young age? Why Edgier Allen Poe? He died in his twenties? 😊
@@TexasNationalist1836 " AIN'T MISBEHAVING " is just the first one to come to mind. On Wam Bam Sam album as well as on Almiera Club album. No offense but ya'd have to go through those for a start, cuz I'm brain fartin right now on names of songs, sorry ! But ya can start with Ain't Misbehaving !
I Love Uncle Hank... where I'm from up here in the Ramapough Mountains of North Jersey, PeopLe think we're all City Folks here in Jersey but NOPE, We're More Country Hillbillies than LOTSA Places down South lololol If he'd ever made to North Jersey where my Clan is ( I'm Turtle Clan ) , He'd truly Love the OLE Fashioned ways things are and how we are... One Big Family that sticks together. We'd be MORE EXCITED AND HAPPY about Hank Jr Showing up to and for My people more than We would for the Frekkin PresidenT of the UniteD States . . . For ReaLz . . . His Songs are PlayeD BLASTING thru our LanD/Streets up here 'TiL this Very DaY. We ReLaTe to his songs more yall can and could EVER imagine. Keep oN, Keeping On Mr/Uncle Hank. Stay Golden, Brother
Gotta a lot of respect for the music and have always been a fan of his and lots of different artists music, but I’m never stalking anyone. I got a life. However I miss the days every place had a smoking area. Sone places are sorely lacking. I get some folks don’t like it but some do and shouldn’t have to stand in the rain or not have ashtrays outside to put it out before you walk in. Thanks to all the places that do. When’s my internet gonna work right all the time not just sometimes?
I live in CA, I was at work (construction worker) was told I couldn't smoke on site so I went to my truck on public road and started smoking inside my truck. Superintendent told me I couldn't smoke in my truck on the street and if I didn't like it I could leave. I said ok then went back to the job and started packing up my tools. He came over and asked what I was doing, I told him I'm leaving. He couldn't believe it 🤷
Everybody making comments about bocephus being arrogant, when your the greatest singer/songwriter/musician that ever step on a stage and the son of man who started "country" music then you too may be a little arrogant. If the music industry or "charts" had the system back in the late 70's through the mid 80s then hank would have set chart records that would be impossible to break. He at one time at 8 albums in the top 20 for 2 years. Jr can play every instrument like very few in Nashville can play at all. Hank not only writes all his music but he has written no 1 hits for other artists such as waylon. Merle haggard. Most people have no idea what hank Jr actually is to country music. There is nobody, nobody in history in his class, I don't care about garth, George strait etc. I am talking about making, playing and writing real country music. Garth nor George strait can play the radio, they be lucky to write a a fiction story much less a song. Like I said and Everybody in Nashville or wherever knows, there is nobody in hank Jr's class, that's why is so arrogant.
As kid rock sang and I quote it ain’t bragging if you can back it up and hank can plus he has forgotten more about music than any other artist knows hands down
Love him or hate him, you can’t argue his contribution to country music. I hold a high regard for his patriotism and passion for the outdoors, but his ego is nauseating.
The song country boy can survive is influenced about me and my dad. Dad was the one they called hillbilly and he did cut a man with switch blade knife and we had a shotgun and rifle in are truck on the gun rack. We were doing some work for a freind of his Merle kilgore it was a house boat is were the song was thought of!!!
Idk i like Hank Jr’s old stuff but lets be real, his new stuff is trash. He is also very conceited and not humble at all. Who TF refers to themselves as a “icon” claiming “icons don’t have to have to ask permission.” Fame and fortune have definitely went to his head and developed him a god complex. Like i said, i’m a huge fan of his older stuff but he is too conceited and arrogant now. We need Hank III to release some more stuff because JR just isn’t living up to his legacy anymore, i could care less if he ever released another one of his trash “blues” albums again.
So many cry baby in the comments, If you know anything about Hank he was tired of riding his dad's coat tail which is why he started his own sound! The guy is in his 70s lost his 27 yr old daughter and wife of like 30 some years the last 2 years. The guy has been famous since the 60s, he is country and acts like Hank Williams Jr! Yall soft 🇺🇲⚒️🇺🇲
Great Interview but Hank Jr. Is wrong about his dad writing Be Careful of Stones That You Throw. Hank Sr. didn't write that one. Don't know why he would say that.
Hey, look at it this way the old boy did better he was in Billy Currington’s video dancing with some young Chiquita down in whatever foreign place it was that he died my grandpa
I don’t think Hank is nearly as bad a dude as he makes himself out to be. From trying to escape his father’s shadow, to surviving the fall, to being canceled by MNF…I think he’s just become an extremely defensive person. I believe he’s really a down to earth guy behind the shades and tough guy facade.
I’d say he needs a little less of it kinda comes off rude in ways I’m a Hank fan but honestly would be disappointed if this was my interview now eager he was to leave and didn’t sign the record
@@calebbrightwell774 I was being very sarcastic, lol. I agree with you. I grew up with Hank and have always loved him. I’ve seen him humble and awesome, I’ve seen him drunk and a total jerk. He’s so full of himself here, it made me feel a little sick for the guys in the room. Sad to see such an ego.
@@TheRoadDawg An uncle of mine years ago bootlegged here in Florence, Alabama. One day, someone came in to buy some booze. He told my uncle a VERY famous country singer was in the car. I won’t mention any name. That being said, I like Hank Jr’s music. I feel he made his own mark with his own style after a few years performing.
@@rickeykeeton4770 I grew up knowing every word of every Hank Jr song. He was an icon to me for sure. I saw him at least 5 times in concert, from a 45 minute drunken disaster in Columbia, SC, to a 29 song (album perfect) concert in Greenwood, SC. I just hate that he has gotten so disconnected from his fan base and is such a tool these days. One side of me thinks he deserves to be so illuminated, the other side of me thinks he is now just a jerk. But I still live to listen to Hank Jr, especially the Live album. I saw that same tour/concert playlist, and it’s one of the best ever. Dwight Yoakum opened for him and came out for the medley…epic!
When Hank talked about the concert in Syracuse NY it gave me goosebumps because I was there and it was the best concert I ever been to. We love Hank in upstate NY! Awesome interview
One of my favorite memories is sitting around listening to Daddy and the uncles tell old stories while smoking cigars. I would sit all afternoon on Daddy's footstool. By that evening I was throwing up, but I didn't care.
I wish Hank Jr. would talk more about the guitar players who played with him, taught him and helped him become who he is. And can he remember a time when he didn't play guitar?
@@WhiteOak09 Lol, no you're right....he's EXTREMELY arrogant, and I think he's getting worse!!! I also have been a huge fan since the early 80's and every single "story" or brag, that comes out of his mouth is the same crap he talked about 40 yrs ago, and frankly I'm tired of it. Who cares!!! Anyone that has followed him knows these things about him, or at least should already. Yeah, we already know Jerry Lee taught him piano, some of those rockers from the 50's where fans of Hank Sr.. Stop with the stories and focus on making a decent country album. The past few album releases have totally sucked. These guys obviously must not know much about Hank if they're getting such a kick out of his ridiculous antics. This crap is so old already. 👎👎👎
@@JoeLazzara I heard Waylon J. say that Hank is the most confident man he knows and I thought to myself that was his nice way of saying what we're saying .
ive been around him with the exception of this chat log most people make fun of him cause his such a goob for real. he gets butt hurt when people dont acknowledge him
Give me more of this stuff and you have me for life. Course I am 70 years old but the photo was when I was 58. Don't fret none cause we all could live to 120 if we don't screw it up or one of those evil ailments gets us. Keep it up, keep it coming, bring it from the heart.
Love the new album, no doubt. I think one of Hank Jr's, most underrated and best albums was Wham Bam Sam (mid 90's)....... Excellent songs, lyrics and music? Hank Jr is a National Treasure!
The crappiest interview ever he was disrespectful and his new album oh my gosh it sound like crap I can't believe it it was horrible he's got to quit deep throat no cigars I think it's messing his voice up
@@stephenbraden6239 that's what it's about and I get it but he don't have to be disrespectful to people I like his old music he don't have to be so cocky expect people to bow down at home he ruined it for me there's another video out where he's so disrespectful
I couldn’t afford 1 of his cigars much less afford to shake his hand . But I love him he is honest , up front , and genuine 7 days a week . He is same guy anytime any day of the week .
I read somewhere that one time someone asked Hank Williams Sr. how he came up with the ideas and words for his songs. He said he got the ideas from reading comic books.
I grew up listening to Hank Jr. Now I am 45, still can't get enough. He tells great country stories in his songs. His true grit is hard to find in other artists. You rule Hank. Love you in Southern California.
This guy wrote songs that made such a rainbow in my life. Love him and his soul
Rainbow fag? Eh…flag.
Rainbows and Hank don't mix
Same! Is your happy song O.D.'D in Denver as well?!
Have saw Hank several times, most of the time he would really ripped and be in the middle of one song and go right into the other. Then I have saw him when he would play every instrument and never miss a beat. Hell of an entertaining person. He is a not always as arrogant as you see on TV and pod cast interviews.

But one time being a rude, super jerk kinda negates the nice times.

@@Casey28027
Ain't that the truth! To hell with 'em!!!!
I can't believe how resilient and strong he is and he can even leave the house and face the day after all the tragedies he has been through lately.
Im sure it isn't easy for him he is a ICON and handles life differently than maybe we all do
Dudes been through tragedies his whole life.
Hank loves reminding everyone who he is
Finally. Someone with stones enough to call it what it is. He wouldn't be an icon if his daddy was wasn't famous.
Thank you! IMO he's being very disrespectful to the interviewers. Also talks a lot of crap for someone who hasn't had a hit in decades.

When a legend speaks we ALL LISTEN LOVE YOU HANK 💓
I'd love it if they did a documentary on his life..... so amazing
Look up living proof it’s a good movie
They have done a documentary on Hank Williams Jr its called Living Proof
There is a documentary on his life

Very few will ever achieve Hank JR's level of badassery . . . The new album 'Rich White Honky Blues' rocks. Still badass at 73.

I am so happy that you tape and share your interviews. Hank Jr. has been the best.
I love Hank jr.! Never realised he was'nt in the Country Music Hall Of Fame! Unbelievable! Their loss! lol
He is now. But his induction was just in 2021

Thats what Im saying .no matter what he says we love him. ,He is Icon Hank !!
Hope he does another blues album be hard to top this one though

What a joke. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Wow really… I wonder how Hank Jr got here in the first place. Great observation.
Did you ever notice that Willie,Waylon and Mearl didn't have Hank play with them. I'm gonna say they thought he was a arrogant asshole.
Needs an attitude adjustment.
Absolute fuckin icon....
No class what so ever. Humble and kind? As one of his rowdy friends from way back, ashamed of him!

First time I ever heard someone call themselves an Icon. I’d hate to have to interview this guy. What a name dropper.
You just don't know who hank Jr is... if you did you'd know that him calling himself an icon is being humble for him.
Youd never get the chance to speak to em keep dreamin
ive been around him with the exception of this chat log most people make fun of him cause his such a goob for real. he gets butt hurt when people dont acknowledge him
Dip and smoke at the same time.....legend
Give me more of this stuff and you have me for life. Course I am 70 years old but the photo was when I was 58. Don't fret none cause we all could live to 120 if we don't screw it up or one of those evil ailments gets us. Keep it up, keep it coming, bring it from the heart.
This is typical HWJR. Known him personally for many years & love it.
If he doesn't like interviews why not stay home??
@@Ml-dl9qg Ask HWJR.
@@JennaP363 I'm saying he doesn't like interviews. If that's true stay home don't do them. Do go and then be rude
Love the new album, no doubt. I think one of Hank Jr's, most underrated and best albums was Wham Bam Sam (mid 90's)....... Excellent songs, lyrics and music? Hank Jr is a National Treasure!
Love em but him talking in third person is killing me😂
Best interview ever. Loved it
I'm really much impressed with word. I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this compliment
You got that right 👍 period.
The crappiest interview ever he was disrespectful and his new album oh my gosh it sound like crap I can't believe it it was horrible he's got to quit deep throat no cigars I think it's messing his voice up
@@DWO619 I guess it's all about promoting his new album
@@stephenbraden6239 that's what it's about and I get it but he don't have to be disrespectful to people I like his old music he don't have to be so cocky expect people to bow down at home he ruined it for me there's another video out where he's so disrespectful
I love hank. But he DEFINITELY did not stop drinking at 26 🤣🤣
Hank is a living legend! I am in Nashville right now and there's literally magic in the air down here... My name is also Hank. "Hank III"
Hank Williams Jr. True legend!
Love this Man and his Music 👍🏿
I couldn’t afford 1 of his cigars much less afford to shake his hand . But I love him he is honest , up front , and genuine 7 days a week . He is same guy anytime any day of the week .
I read somewhere that one time someone asked Hank Williams Sr. how he came up with the ideas and words for his songs. He said he got the ideas from reading comic books.
