Country music is absolutely nothing compared to 1980 and the years before that. Johnny paycheck was a badass, he has one of the only songs I ever teared up over, old violin.. probably best song in country music history..
I played drums forDAVID ALLAN COE in the 90s We went in to the OHIO STATE PRISON when J.P. was incarcerated at the time, it was the first time D.A.C.& J.P. sang TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT, D.A.C. wrote the song J.P. had a hit with it, A GREAT MEMORY😂
johnny paycheck is awesome. he is probably more gangsta than nearly everyone in the ghetto. i'm sure the people in the ghetto likes him because he didn't take shit from anyone.
Saw Unknown Hinson perform in Tucson Arizona -- never forgot him. It's a cliche to call someone a true artist, but I cant think of any other way to say it
They might not have been going out and buying his records as much as NWA, but parents who had bought the records were certainly playing his music around their kids, so if you're only worried about exposure of violence in music with teens, and not adults, then the kids were still being exposed. I might not have known much johnny cash in the early 90s, but I certainly knew the line he sang about shooting a man just to watch him die, as it was sampled in a beastie boys song, which meant they, and I imagine, millions of other kids were sure enough familiar with his songs about violence and murder. So, is it only a concern if it's mainly kids buying the music, or if they are being exposed to it? Let's not forget at one time or another most of these old country and rock stars were once mainly being bought by kids as well, and while there might've been some moral outrage over the likes of Elvis shaking his hips, the kids grew up and then started making a fuss over NWA while they were hoping in their car and cranking johnny paycheck, knowing he just shot at someone
I’m not a fan of Country but those OG Country singers are the real deal.Respect.

Thanks Mike. Johnny paycheck has faded from public memory. He started a brawl at a dive near me when I was a kid.
Johnny is one of my favorites. I used to listen him when I was in the US Marine Corp. At Camp Pendelton out in Calif.

That’s too awesome!
Rock Dox Ty Very much for putting these up
I love the name Johnny Paycheck.
These country stars were more hardcore in many cases than actual 'ganstas'.
I met Johnny when is was 14yrs old 5"5 my ass, maybe with his cowboy boots on. The man was tiny.
I grew up on country and rock n roll
Hank Hill narrating a great story.
0:22 “twangy and kinndaa stupid.” The way he delivers that line just tickles my funny bone!
Shows how ignorant people are about country music
@@TheSands83same thing could be said about people who shared their sentiments about rap at the time
@@b1slee267 rap?😂
@@TheSands83 I love the response. Cause that how I feel about country music . 😂 “country music?”
Ethan Hawke could play Johnny Paycheck in a biopic
the gaunt inbred look
I was thinking Kevin Bacon
I want more of these
Da baby of country music!😂 or visea versa !
Outlaw Country is a completely different beast. Typical pop country trash is the crap I stay away from.
Amen!
Johnny was in NWA, but was kicked out for having too much attitude!
Played with Gwen Stefani, but she ain't no hollowback girl, and he couldn't spell B A N A N A S
Good thang i waited 8 years to see these or i would have paid to see only 5 minutes a video. I didn't know these 5 minute videos were the show.

Cokehead.
WAS he from the ghetto?
@@simonfea2 nah.

Remember: The twang is the thang!
The greatest was an obscure artist named Unknown Hinson. He actually shoots at band members or audience members during performances
He is slightly less obscure as Early, from Squidbillies.

Easy E in the thumbnail pic?
Actually, if my old memory serves me right, "Easy Mother$#ckin' E"
Sounds like a song “ I lost to a mime “
The reason why Connie Chung wasn't picking on Johnny paycheck was because teens weren't listening to Johnny paycheck in the 90s.

@@BigSmiley0TV TL;DR
I was
True
Johnny wasn’t representing gang culture.. big difference
Johnny networked well.
Johnny Paycheck, with a K was probably called Johnny Ptacek. just a wild guess
Why do u have a smoke on the video of Johnny?
Why are you a racist? That's a better question.
He kind of reminds me of Manson
House of Cash is a misnomer
EZ
He was tweaking hard on his dukes of hazard appearance
