@@jasonsomething6003 No, it's literally impossible.

@@Dino-god69 Oh I won't be giving up, and I do have some survival skills... I'm just saying it isn't possible long-term. Humans are pack animals. We literally cannot survive without a community, and we wouldn't even want to survive without one if we could. Lone wolves don't live long in the wild.
Aaron Lewis was the singer for the rock group Staind. I really like them a lot. Being able to sing both hard rock and country, and being good at both, is a testament to his talent. Is that George Jones and Charlie Daniels? Anyone?
Aaron was in the band Stained , he's a real musician. He's seen all the garbage from the record companies. Great reaction, awesome song. One of my favorites.
i like how he had all those legends participate in this song......good job brother,,all good country boys not only white,,i live with many a brothers that are as country as hell...and respect for each other is all there is...politicians can kiss our country asses..this is who we are...
Im a DEEP and Dirty South Southern Boy and you dont have to be a country boy to feel this way and have this song ring true to you! City Boys can feel the same... I know cuz by best friend from the Army was from NY and that mutha humpa bred Red Whit and BLUE, son!
Thank you for helping me down the worm hole of country music. My first job out of college (a long time ago lol), was at a small bank in the mountains. The president of the bank played a country music station all day every day and I swore if I heard the song “all my exes live in Texas” one more time I was going to scream lol. Just recently I started watching reactions with country music including yours and I realized that I actually like some of it. What a shock but I’m looking forward to hearing more! Thanks 😊
I'm a country music fan, and I can't blame you for having a distain for that song. 😂 It's okay song to hear once, but I've heard it enough in my lifetime, and I haven't really heard it a ton.
This song has a special place and meaning for me, my brother and I both served in the military, my brother was a marine, my mom called me and said my brother had committed suicide, just the as I hung up the phone, this video came on tv in that instant as I laid the phone down. I cry every time I hear this song.
the 1800's are long gone. we ALL share the daily struggle just to get by in a world that hates the USA including a lot of elitists who couldn't last one week in our shoes . we are ALL AMERICANS FIRST.
I am glad I ran across your channel. ARRON Lewis is still the lead singer for Staind , he is truly real and down to earth. I have been to many Staind and AFL country shows and hung out alot with him and the band. There ain’t nothing fake about him. Listen to the Staind Dysfunction album… I love him as either rock or country.
This guys got some serious star power on this song. If I’m not mistaken, he’s got George Jones singing, he’s got Charlie Daniels on the fiddle. This song is awesome, reminds me of an old David Allen Cole song.
That's exactly what the labels want to do. Have you sign a contract and then force you to change to their way of thinking. Stay true to your roots that's how you for where you are. RIP George Jones and Charlie Daniels. Thank you both for entertaining the World with you gift for music.
Country music is the 3 R’s Real…Raw…Relatable Country music has bars too and a lot of people are realizing it now with these reaction channels and I’m here for it!!!!!
I love to watch my brothas check in out other music! Cool as a freezie dogg! I grew up on rock,”COUNTRY BOY “ is on my work list of plays!! Now’s the time to stand up for everything he’s saying. Btw Aaron was in a very popular rock group Staind!! Great voice!! Thanks for sharing a great Patriotic song I also live by!! God bless
I grew up with George and Charlie. Saw them both many times. Charlie played Franklinton LA and next day played outdoor concert in Biloxi MS. Gotta love Charlie in LA said tell a joke and in Biloxi MS said take another toke 😂😂🖤🖤🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
That old timer in the video is none other then George Jones. RIP. Honestly tho if youre looking for something a bit more up your alley David Morris is a MUST! Red, White and American Blues is by far my favorite. Speaks the Gods truth in it
Am I the only one is his latest hit.... he was the front man for an alternative rock band called STAiND ... once he matured thru fame and fortune he went back to his roots.... he is one of my favorite artists for exactly what u said ... he keeps it real.... people these days can't handle that.... I have more respect for someone who keeps it relevant if I dont like what he says... respect over feelings EVERY DAY!
Aaron Lewis is the most underrated singer/songwriter. As the lead singer of Staind he has numerous hit songs. But if you want to hear a song that really shows off his vocals, PLEASE listen to "Something to remind you" live at Mohegan Sun. Thanks!
Real Country Music, not the pop music most try to pass off as Country, is beautifully fascinating. A lot of Rap Music and County Music have much in common. I'm a 65 year young White Man. I've been training 25 year olds on the job. Blows me away that they love Country Music. Black, White and Mexicans. They like the old school Rock too.
Good music is good music no matter what genre ! Love the fact that you seriously listen to all music and give great honest visceral reactions that come from your soul 🤙🤙
Great Reaction! Absolutely love Aaron's music, along with the messages. Made the transition into Country without issues; thinking that's where his heart is. George Jones and Charlie Daniels (may they Rest In Peace!) definitely put their names on his music which is an endorsement to say the least. The other that showed here in this vid was Chris Young (harmony vocals). Charlie Daniels is very well known for his patriotism/anthems. I'm a fan of them all. Be Safe
Aaron grew up in a small town outside Springfield, Ma. I grew up a stone's throw away in Ct. Country boys don't just come from the south or west. I grew up in the woods surrounded by tobacco fields (I picked tobacco in some of the same fields as MLK, Jr. did 30 years earlier). My first job was picking corn in front of a tractor that was NOT stopping for you to complain about the heat or corn-rash. Our playgrounds were the creek behind my house, catching fish out of a local pond and endless woods. Tobacco drying barns flanked all of our neighborhood and were also fun to play in (although you didn't want to get caught) and we rolled our own cigars when we were barely double-digit old. Folks don't know that some of the best rodeos are in the Southern New England area, too...along with some excellent NASCAR junior series. The only real difference between us and southern/western country boys was flannel.....and we loved viscious games of pond hockey in the winter.
Yeah, I think the biggest reason you feel like you’ve heard him before is because Aaron Lewis is - or at least was for a long time - the lead singer for a band called “Staind.”
Country boys represent Rural America, they all feel the same way. the purist form of mayhem comes when people who just want to be left alone, get involved.
That's Charlie Danies and George Jones in on that. Some black reactors don't like his song Am I the Only One. I think it's just the reality of just being an American. All of us citizens are Americans. We might have different ways but we are Americans.
@VloggingWithGreg Bro, check out "Lost and the Lonely". He wrote this one right before he went to drug rehab; there is also "I Lost It All" that he wrote right after completing drug rehab. Deep and real brother!
That was Charlie Daniel's with the big white beard, Greg, and that was George Jones playing the devil, telling him to give up his wife and friends. As usual Big G, thanx for the content! You are appreciated! I haven't left a comment in a while cuz I've been watching from my fire stick, over my tv, and I cannot figure out how to comment. But I've been watching! Trust me! Thanx. Keep it up
See it's respectable..... if you agree or not when people keep it real with no bad intentions ..... ya gotta respect it.... we need to get back to the UNITED STATES ...... United we stand ....Divided we fall! Great video dude!
This was good. Check into Robert Johnson. Legend is he went down to the Crossroads and sold his soul, and became one of the best old time blues talents. Still had a rough life and died young but put out some great blues music. The line in this song today that says war and whiskey can change a man ... listen to Sam Stone by John Prine. One of the best songs written about the tragedy of the Vietnam "conflict". After that, check out more of John Prine. He was a lyrical genius ... for instance, "I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line" (Knocking on Your Back Door) or "sweet songs never last too long on broken radios" (from Sam Stone). John was an icon to us Boomers. His music is what I call "music that makes sense". Love your reactions, Greg. I subscribed at first watch. You're always honest, enthusiastic and joyful when you discover something that moves you. Keep up the good work. We're listening!
The cameos by George Jones and Charlie Daniels are eerily beautiful. RIP, George and Charlie. Great reaction
Every time I watch this video it just squeezes my heart.. the Possum and Charlie have been entertainers I have watched literally my entire life.
Chris Young was in this to js
U explained that perfectly.
Only thing more important than our country is our God thank you america
He died?
I love the fact that young folks like yourself love this song and the ideas behind it. Gives me hope for the future!
Theres alot more of us than you think!
Sad part is 90% Plus of Americans can't survive on their own!
Loved the reaction....Arron Lewis has many tunes that you would like!
The 10% who think they could, really couldn't. It's impossible to survive long-term on your own.
I guess you would half to become animalistic... only the strong survive.

Charlie Daniels is a famous fiddler, The Devil Went Down To Georgia. George Jones was a famous country singer, He Stopped Loving Her Today.
Aaron Lewis was the singer for the rock group Staind. I really like them a lot. Being able to sing both hard rock and country, and being good at both, is a testament to his talent. Is that George Jones and Charlie Daniels? Anyone?
Yes yes and yes! :-)
correct
He still is still active. He is a very versatile musician
Thanks Trish! I knew I heard his voice before but I couldn't place it.
Yes
I'm 55 and I love seeing you young guys covering this.. I have followed Aaron Lewis for 20 years
. Thank You Sir 👍
Aaron was in the band Stained , he's a real musician. He's seen all the garbage from the record companies. Great reaction, awesome song. One of my favorites.
STAIND,👍😏
@@yknowiknow5937 oof auto correct sucks. U-Right. Still made the comment. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@kingsfan62 that spell check shit, has me, constantly editing, MY comments, as well.🤣
My son played this for me yrs ago. Lov his voice and what he stands for. Im also a country boy. Plain ole country. Really hits home. .. dan..7/27/22.
Great reaction. He has one called Am I the Only One..please listen to it. It's power.
Even a better song than this one
Aaron Lewis is a Real One, I am gonna see him in concert in August.
If anyone is wondering what he was playing on the fiddle at the end of the song, that was “Battle Hymn of the Republic”.
Aaron is a beast. He is my go to when I get done with my country boy shit. I live in the sticks and a country boy is all I'll ever be too!
One of the best songs period. Love Aaron Lewis
I saw him in concert. He started with the Pledge of Allegiance, smoked cigarettes on stage and sang this song, along with his others greats.
You have heard this song before... it's imbedded in your American spirit... Godspeed son, Godspeed 😶.
George Jones ( the possum) was on this one too!! Love this attitude!! I love America too,but not proud of the way it's being run right now🤷
I think the “devil” is his metaphor for the labels and heads in the industry
Once you sign your name. I feel you brother. Tears got to wash that shit away. We all got to come together before we're destroyed apart
The other legends in this video are George Jones and then Charlie Daniels on fiddle and speaking at the end.
i like how he had all those legends participate in this song......good job brother,,all good country boys not only white,,i live with many a brothers that are as country as hell...and respect for each other is all there is...politicians can kiss our country asses..this is who we are...
Im a DEEP and Dirty South Southern Boy and you dont have to be a country boy to feel this way and have this song ring true to you! City Boys can feel the same... I know cuz by best friend from the Army was from NY and that mutha humpa bred Red Whit and BLUE, son!
Thank you for helping me down the worm hole of country music. My first job out of college (a long time ago lol), was at a small bank in the mountains.

Just recently I started watching reactions with country music including yours and I realized that I actually like some of it. What a shock but I’m looking forward to hearing more! Thanks 😊
“All My Exes” is a staple to our Texan culture. Every Texan knows every word!
I'm a country music fan, and I can't blame you for having a distain for that song. 😂
It's okay song to hear once, but I've heard it enough in my lifetime, and I haven't really heard it a ton.
There's a world of difference between faux top 40 country and the real roots and soul country. Welcome to the real thing.
This song has a special place and meaning for me, my brother and I both served in the military, my brother was a marine, my mom called me and said my brother had committed suicide, just the as I hung up the phone, this video came on tv in that instant as I laid the phone down. I cry every time I hear this song.
My condolences...

I rarely drink from the bottle but I'll smoke a little weed!!! Facts 😆❤️ Love this song. Good one Greg, as always!
Much Love ❤️
Like the man said We The People should ALL feel this way WORLDWIDE!!!!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!
I would love to see a kid rock and arron Lewis tour!!! God bless America

Great reaction man. You hung on the lyrics, and certainly understood everything he was talking about.
This reaction made me smile so much. You get it. Thank you for listening to this.
I love his song Grandaddy’s gun
Love that Aaron stays true to his roots. Great message. Great song!

Love when you said it needs to be heard, "especially these days". Man, you got that right.
The tattoo on his neck that says "Don't Tread on Me" is the best!!
Thank you Greg. Your reaction brings a lot of us from different walks of life together in spirit - something that's hard to find these days.
I loved Aaron Lewis in Staind but I’m so glad he decided to go country!
Country music is the 3 R’s
Real…Raw…Relatable
Country music has bars too and a lot of people are realizing it now with these reaction channels and I’m here for it!!!!!
Aaron Lewis is my favorite singer and I absolutely love your reaction! Just subbed!!!
Best reaction I've seen for a while. You looked genuine in your enjoyment of the story in the song. You kept it real bro.😊

Was a great couple of days
Proud American! A Lewis lives just down the road in our sticks and un paved roads here in MA. Shhhhhh
Love your reaction to this. Bless you. Thank you. Take care of you and your family.
He was very successful as a rock singer for the band stained ,once he got money an his contract was up he switched to country
Greg !...
I love this !...thank you...
Never give up..never give in..never surrender...🌿🌿🌿
"that should be all of our attitudes" YES
I’ve watched about 6 or 7 of ur reactions. I appreciate you so much!
That old timer in the video is none other then George Jones. RIP.
Honestly tho if youre looking for something a bit more up your alley David Morris is a MUST! Red, White and American Blues is by far my favorite. Speaks the Gods truth in it
Listen to Staind- something to remind you (live). This dude's voice is legendary!!! I didn't realize it was the same guy! 😲😲😲
Aaron is awesome. Check out Am I the Only One, Someone, and Everybody Talks to God.
Very powerful sing and message
Absolutely love it bro! This is that real SHXT! Great video and commentary.

You've probably heard his voice before. He's the lead singer in the band "Stained"
Glad you have found this,, there is more out there that's not main stream but is coming up to be
At first he didn't, that's the lead singer of Stain. Now he has a couple of county music albums out and us really great
Just came across your channel. Definitely gonna keep watching. Love your attitude and thoughts. Bless you
Aaron Lewis was the lead singer for Staind. His voice is iconic.And then you add George Jones!

Love Arron Lewis. Love your attitude. Love watching your videos. ❤
I didn't know that he said that the whiskeys Know to "Chain a man down" until I listened to it closer.

Many of these singers have sold their soul. It's sad, but it's true
Love this song. He is so great
I don't know how long but he was a rock singer for Staind. I Wana say for 10-15 years he was rock. Still love his country music
Country boys represent Rural America, they all feel the same way. the purist form of mayhem comes when people who just want to be left alone, get involved.
This man could sing the phonebook and make it sound good

His concerts are awesome
The history of his music history is something you should look into and you probably know his voice from the band stained...
Great review my man! I loved seeing the passion you showed!
Bro this is like every country boy and girls anthem fr
This was all good right here my man.
👍👍👍
George jones was one of the og’s in country and he got him on this track. Amazing
thank you for this honest song 🇺🇲
3 of the best. Great video!
Aaron Lewis I love you
You know I rarely ever hear a remake that I like but Hank Jr would shake Aaron Lewis's hand over this one hats off to you
There's a bunch of us out there...especially in the hills.
Love the reaction man. You got me subscribed dude!

In my opinion, Aaron Lewis is almost exactly like Joe Rogan. Would love to see Aaron on the podcast.
