@@skjoe1115 nope. That's not true at all. I've been smoking since I was 12 (I'm 31 now, but I cut back so damn much) anyway, I'm a singer and I'm still singing with no issues. My voice is also far, light-years away from raspy... But then again I did cut back a lot from smoking lol
I think he's holding the band members hostage...if this is what he's doing to them publicly, I shudder to imagine the horrors they endure behind closed doors!
Emily Hritz when I saw the interview and said they were on tour all I could think was how horrible touring must have been for those guys. “We don’t cart my drums around at 6 in the morning”. And he wants to be compared to Tom Petty. Sorry not sorry Billy stick to Hollywood.
Billy Bob is flat out nuts to think his acting career wouldn't get brought up in interviews with the band. It's not like their music is the reason they got discovered...
These guyz are playing in my hometown whitefish Montana tomorrow! They remind of Tom Petty John Melloncamp with a country twist. I'm gonna go just to meet billy bob! ✔️💯🏆🤘
@@iamavoidtrippergutterslush666 It is a joke if you saw that crazy interview he did a couple years back... Billy Bob was being asked simple questions about hwo the group started and every response was "I don't know what that means" because he decided to be a prick for no reason.
I’ll never be the same, totally paradigm shift in consciousness... They said it couldn’t be done. Billy Bob how much do you pay these guys? I’ll buy this for someone I hate, thank you.
Idk... these comments.. It's a nitch market of a vibe music that not many people can relate too... Well played and orchestrated by the band so that's good for sure... This music probably takes them back to their childhood days when first discovering their parents old records in the attic of their house. For me... It reminds me of when I was maybe 6 years old and grandma played music on her record player during the day before turning of the black and white TV to watch her favorite show in the evening.... This music probably hits big at old folks homes where 85 year olds can be taken back in time by the vibe. That age old swing with a slight twist of humor music was ANCIENT "Easy listening " music on the radio and record player WAY BACK THEN...
Good song and it has this nice "laid back" ring to it. I like it even though I am not English speaker and I probably don't understand the lyrics very well xD
The band musicians are actually really good. 2:30. It's the BBT smug mug look, lyrics, voice, and tone that blows up the bridge and the land it was built on. The steel guitarist is the bomb! Wish the editing had allowed for focusing on his playing vs. BBT.
I don't give a shit what anyone says, I think this is fun. It reminds me of music my parents listened to growing up and I loved that genre. I'm glad to hear something fun and not so damn serious.
I wish I was Billy Bob Thornton in that video. The swagger, the suit, the boots, the hair, the voice. So cool! I don't know about the cigarette though. I think Mr. Thornton would have looked even cooler if he had grown a beard for the video.

Idk... I guess. Bravo..If they had shot this video in Black and white film I would think that I was six years old sitting in my grandmother's house in the 70's. She paid a whole nickel for each record she had and she cherished this music. Definitely an old soft swing music with a story and a dash of a little humor... Billy Bob is bringing it BACK... Interesting. They are having fun...
Is this the actor Billy Bob Thornton? The guy who is an actor and is known for being an actor in his acting career? Seriously, do you guys see this? Isn't it Billy Bob Thornton, you know... the actor?
There’s always something annoying and cringe worthy about a movie star who turns musician. But for some reason it’s never that bad when a musician turns into a movie star.
I look back on those ten seconds of a black screen and deadly silence at the start of this video with such sweet nostalgia. They remind me of a much simpler time before I'd heard this bullshit song.
I didn't know my favorite actor tries to play music! BBT you should do some interviews with you and the band to get the word out about your neat little hobby!!
I heard they got 2 mil for this track. That's important because that's now their quote. When they release another track the studio's gotta give them another 2 mil. Even if they do a bad job.
I like it! Has a Robert Earl Keen sound to it. With old school crying steel guitar. And lyrics not sanitized for radio airplay. Sounds like a tune Johnny Cash would have put on his Folsom Prison or San Quentin albums.
The thought influence in these lyrics...I've never seen such drive and pure organic charisma... I bet he smells like Winston cigarettes and pure disappointment.
I happen to like most country and western, but BBT should just forget singing. he would never have made it as a singer without his movie career to carry him Loved him in Sling Blade and he sounds about the same here.
Would you show this video to Tom Petty?
Hey look. It's that actor Billy Bob Thorton.
You just a boy...you ought not talk like Kat...mm
I don't know what you're talking about....did I tell you about the magazine subscription I had as kid!
Would you say that to Tom Petty?
@@nichetone6547 got me dying bro😂😂

Carl Saberhagen OK cause he isn't that great an actor either.
No, I won't ever mention you're a musician.
Jerry Moore have you not seen him Fargo?
@jerrymoore8364 he got mad Ina interview amd said that, cuz Noone cares about the boxmasters
He's a music historian
hahaha
Since birth
And this belongs in the dustbin of history
he actually grew up as one. very modest man
He was pretty much raised as a music historian.
The band that defined a generation
Rofl
Lmao... Yeah, right. This is so bad.
Edward Bliss - Defied a generation.
...of fucking retards perhaps.

I didn't know I was capable of true hatred until I saw the Q interview followed by this video. Wow...i am speechless.
Listen to him talk to Mr. Kilmister in the documentary Lemmy. Billy boy is a pompous ass.
Guts, shouldn’t you be saving Casca or something? Didn’t expect you to be out here listening to ‘The Boxmasters’
Q interview garners cult-like status as a claustrophobic, opiate-soaked cringe fest.
How these guys have not already been inducted into the Hall Of Fame is truly a mystery.
I don’t know about the hall of fame, but one of them entered a clay figure contest from a magazine once or twice
Fall of Shame is more appropriate
Would you say that to Tom Petty?
@@ookdagrax3407 😂😂😂 they didn’t win but they gave it a shot ya know
Yeah it’s like how many dicks do they gotta suck before getting inducted?
7 DUDES TO PLAY THIS SONG .... LOL
Seriously, its like a school music class where everyone has an instrument that doesn't need to be there.
There’s 8 people there
Lol
Wtf

He said no other bands have been doing what he's doing in 30 years. If that's true, it should have stayed that way.
You bastard beat me to it XD
Yh this is so dated now even when it originally came out
Would have been super rad to hear Tom Petty cover this.
Hahaaa!!!
Hahahaha
He acting in this is superb.

I thought my first band was bad I don’t feel so bad now
Nah. They’re just as cringey. Just a bunch of boomers.
Hang on… isn’t this the guy that entered that model making contest years ago?
Lulz it was a big deal for kids in those days
This is awesome...........said no one ever
An Oscar-winning performance.
It would be better if he sang in the Sling Blade voice, see I would pay too see that
Reckon you might make some biscuits
I always liked the Dwight Yokum character's band. Medulla oblongata dot dot dot
"You don't actually sing the dot dot dot"
That would be awesome
You guys are opening for Russell Crowe's band, who is opening for Jared Leto's band. Awesome.
They're touring with Bruce Willis, Kevin Bacon and Johnny Depp.
@@steveswell1 you son of a gun, it's going to be an awesome tour.

You gotta be in a certain twisted state of mind to appreciate the boxtops.

tell him you love his movies lol
"When did the band form?"
"I'm not sure what that means"
These guys should tour with Corey Feldman.
NICE!!!
Somehow this video is very difficult to watch
I’ll never be the same, totally paradigm shift in consciousness... They said it couldn’t be done. Billy Bob how much do you pay these guys? I’ll buy this for someone I hate, thank you.
Yikes, this is as painful as the Q interview...
lmao
Oh Angelina, can you feeeel it?
You know what would make this band good? Yeah, neither do I.
LOL!!!
hahahaha
Drugs
Maybe if he got his balls back...
If they add at least..3 more guitar players. Bands with less than 7 total guitar players are never any good.
those cigarettes make you guys look really cool.lol
+pegleg Haha that's what I was thinking. Cool cigarettes, I like the way they hang half way out of your mouths
Shitty music aside, this might as well be a cigarette ad.
Benny Forthwith lol it does look like a cigarette ad 😪
@@SasfootBigsquatch more like an anti-smoking ad because it's so shit
After seeing this video I am no longer sad that my colostomy bag is my best friend.
Damn son. Hardcore.
He seems rather passionate about music!
Some songs don't need to be written - this is clearly one

Wanted to be taken seriously as a musician, yet he absolutely plays to the camera. Like an actor. Turn it into a movie.
This is surreal, like peering into a reality where BBT is in a band. I like it.
The band musicians are actually really good. 2:30. It's the BBT smug mug look, lyrics, voice, and tone that blows up the bridge and the land it was built on. The steel guitarist is the bomb! Wish the editing had allowed for focusing on his playing vs. BBT.
Indeed, but they got every choice in what band they wanna play in.
The greatest singer of all time
Billy Bob Thornton should run for Canadian prime minister!
as a canadian you guys can keep him, thank you.
Ain't got no gas in it.😅
i love this song ty

Kevin Bacon and Keifer Sutherland would disagree.
The band is ok. Singer and song have to go. Don't care where, just go.

@@milesgeary9213 A masterpiece.

Agreed, they should do radios
You mean his acting career?
I honestly didn’t know Thornton was in a music group until THIS DAY.
...Now I know why.
If this is a hit, imagine what a deep track sounds like?? Jesus Christ
He'll yeah Billy Bob rock on
Holy mother of god this is bad.
Thank you. I'm only about halfway through and this is.......simply dogshit.
Have they disbanded yet? If not why not?
That drummer stole my mojo.
I loved this stuff!!!
Splendiferous.
Wow they masked his vocals so much.
oh wow, actor Billy Bob Thornton! drama, comedies...and now musicals. what can't this actor do?
I heard they got 2 mil for this track. That's important because that's now their quote. When they release another track the studio's gotta give them another 2 mil. Even if they do a bad job.
A five guitar band, just like the Eagles! lol
They sound like Dwight Yoakum's porch band in " Sling Blade" mmmm
Hhmmmm
I like it! Has a Robert Earl Keen sound to it. With old school crying steel guitar. And lyrics not sanitized for radio airplay. Sounds like a tune Johnny Cash would have put on his Folsom Prison or San Quentin albums.
Some folks call it... bad.
Jfc billy bob don’t give up your day job
Make death row prisoners listen to this on a loop....
Gota love anything Billy Bob does.
Love his sense of humor! The music is good too!
It's a shame that Billy Bob has never met Willie Nelson...
BBT is basically the musical equivalent of Mozart, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Elvis Presley having a baby...
It’s that’s actor ! The ACTOR from the MOVIES
I guess people haven't heard country music before
I just cut off my ears. And it made me happy.
Pffffft. The holes are still there, you know.
Billy Bob is trolling the 🌎 and outsmarting everyone. This song is fucking Halarious.
Yeah, trolling like Joaquin Phoenix, right? Superstar status achieved...NOT
I like it.
Ok, I heard Terry Bradshaw sing and now I'm hearing Billy Bob sing. Billy Bob, please stop trying to sing.
This is so camp! Highly entertaining! Yep, that's Billy Bob all right.
Thank you, someone else who “gets it”.... these other commenters are stupid and hateful.
is this like when Joaquin rapped?
Good songs, I wish they shot the video more like Robert Altman's Nashville......
I think he wants to be like Reverend Horton Heat or Unknown Hinson
Is this a Saturday Night Live skit?
The thought influence in these lyrics...I've never seen such drive and pure organic charisma...
I bet he smells like Winston cigarettes and pure disappointment.
Cool music
Well he's right about this song having no balls.
I happen to like most country and western, but BBT should just forget singing. he would never have made it as a singer without his movie career to carry him Loved him in Sling Blade and he sounds about the same here.
how long has this band been playing texas music?
Better singer than I expected. Reminds me of Rev. Horton Heat
He sounds like the Reverend Horton Heat with low T
Brutal.
banger
love them
Love it. I can hear George Jones singing this.
