- [Air Date: January 17, 2023] Anthony likes country music, but only up to a certain point. Today's country music is just not good. We review the Luke Bryan song 'Knockin' Boots'.

It's like AI created country music
It's all like that!
Artificial Inbreeding?!
POP music is same. Taylor Swift is doing it.
This is my exact feeling. It’s like someone taught a robot to do a southern accent and jumbled a bunch of consumerist redneck buzzwords and it farted out these songs
Agreed. Modern country music sucks balls. Now it’s the music style hijacked by redneck republicans as “patriotic”
“What are black people doing here?!” That gave me a chuckle
How many blacks like country music? Seriously! It's like hockey. But they have to force this diversity crap.
Lol, ok, yeah, that would be odd, but the white girl in the red dress that seems to be the main woman in the video, she's not at a bar like this. The whole thing is dumb.
It came out of nowhere if just listening, had a nice laugh also
😂😂😂 Ant never disappoints! “There’s black people in this bar!” 😂😂😂
@@brek5 what's odd about that?
When I hear country music today, I just can't stop thinking about what Norm Macdonald said on Letterman, when David ask him if he like the old country or the new one and Norm just said "no, the new is gay"
Read that in Norm’s voice. I miss that guy.
I agree with Norm. He was friends with Billy Joe Shaver. He knows what’s up.
Charley Crockett, Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Sierra Ferrell, Billy Strings
Charles Wesley Godwin, Mike and the Moonpies, Cole Chaney, Turnpike Troubadours, Kassi Valazza, Jesse Daniel, Sturgill Simpson, Brent Cobb.
Old country was made by people who had stories to tell and you actually wanted to hear them. So much heart and passion in classic country.
David Rawlings Cumberland Gap might not qualify as country, but it sounds like it and also qualifies as folk music. It’s about crossing a treacherous mountain in the pioneer times during a blizzard
And world class instrumentalists, Chet atkins, Roy Clark, Glen campbell, Jerry Reed. I’m a rock guy and I love those old country musicians
Agreed. Modern country music sucks balls. Now it’s the music style hijacked by redneck republicans as “patriotic”
Modern country is designed NOT to talk about the real lives of farmers. Willie Nelson got ostracized for that reason. You can't write songs about getting screwed by the middleman or crushing farm debt or monocrops or the war on ranching. So it's become formulaic. When the girl leaves the farm to go to the cold concrete canyons of New York, she can always come home to where folks are real, etc etc
emphasis on "was"
The most outrageous part of that song is that Luke Bryan isnt singing to another man.
Lmao
Facts
Agreed. Modern country music sucks balls. Now it’s the music style hijacked by redneck republicans as “patriotic”
Oh is that this fellows name?
It's what you'd hear playing at a Roadhouse Grill while eating some deep-fried lard.
While drinkin your whiiiiskaaaaay and stompin your boot. Oh, here comes the fiddle. Suburban mom audiences test very high to fiddles. It really makes them feel like they're there!
@@markrobertson2052 Oh the fiddle crap while smelling the odor from the moldy table top. "More bread 'n butter hun?"
@@Springbok295 This is the music I hear at Cracker Barrel when I'm vaping weed in the bathroom and trying not to kill my senile relative who's ruining my fried lard experience. XD LOL
Love roadhouse grills!
Ant's favorite country is Johnny Rebel and David Allen Coe
dont forget "long summer days" by alan lomax
DaC is unironically great
The house next door to me's been sold to...
@@sowder That's Ant's favorite
@Adam Price
So is Johnny Rebel. Better in fact
Anthony's disgusted UUUURGHHH will always bring me joy
Agreed. 😂
I stole it from Ant, and use it in everyday life.
Reminds me of whenever Lil Yimmy would go *"EEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!"*
@@rosesongoku6980 I'm partial to an "oh BOOO" myself.
@@planetschlock It’s even funnier when he bombs and boos himself.
Anthony, thanks for the doses of sanity while the world commits slow suicide
America hasn't produced any good music since Nirvana. Sad but true.
From common sense to commie sense
@@zootsoot2006 Eminem, lets give rap some love
@@notoriouseagle1074Eminem hasn’t had a good album since 2004, black people do rap better. Unfortunately, I’m a fan
@@machete18Beastie boys were the only decent rap group.
One guys writes all the songs and hands them out. They lowered the bar till it was on the ground and people still buy it.
Spat my drink out @ “what are black people doing there??” 😂😂😂
Haha he killed it here!
I was wondering the same thing
Lol when he said this is outrageous 😭😂
Enjoy this video before the woke mob takes it down.
😂😂😂😂
Ant bashing country songs is the best thing I heard ever
This is the kinda music I'd imagine you have to pretend to like if you want to meet girls at country western bars.
I'm dating a latino chic and her music is basically spanish gibberish but I would still rather listen to it than country.
Country western bars are the easiest place to pick up women. Fish in a barrel. Knockin boots.
@@Yophillips3272 I could not put up with hearing Latin reggaeton beats. That crap would have to go forever
@NPC HSN47364 ur correct, but only if ur at minimum willing to wear a corny outfit. If ur able to get urself to wear legit cowboy boots, true religion jeans, Ed hardy shirt, and a bass pro shop hat with a small rip on the bill..... well ur gonna clean up. If u know how to line dance too... ur gonna run that joint.
I never bothered cus I like skankier chicks that don't require a new wardrobe. A few guys I knew are country bar pimps fr tho
@@NPCHSN and probably better women than any other type of bar. Little less conniving, a little less confusing….typically has SOME sort of moral framework.
“New country is what Michael Sam listens to” - Norm Macdonald
"Buhnananananah, Buhnananananah, Buhnananananah, MAN GET IN THE TRUCK!" is my summation of modern country music
Can’t forget about the dirt road lol
Fishin' In The Dark was actually the first song that came to mind for me, when I was trying to remember a time that had better country music.
You can tell the difference in the two songs immediately and don’t mean the difference in sound. The words and song in the NGDB song has passion and feeling, a real heart that brings the words and music together. Luke Bryan’s song was written by a producer in Nashville who writes the same ‘Friday night, blue jeans, beer in my truck, baby’ crap for everyone
@@hillbillysceptic1982 the second song that came in my mind was Bing Bang Boom by Highway 101, so take that as you will.
“Why are black people there?!” Lol
Theyre taking over commercials, tv shows, and now country music? Oh well, they havent learned to ice skate yet.
Or win calculus competitions
I guess you aren't a NHL fan huh?
they be movin to alaska and sheet
Or read or write
Or to be a present dad.
🎼 "The house next door to me was sold to......"
Boot knockers?
Tickets! Linger loooonger
Ant needs to do a skit and perform his own country song. 😂
if you don;t know it yet check out Pisswasser ad song from GTA V.
@@eatabullet4045 🤣 Thanks, that was pretty good.. Never been much on games so I hadn't heard it.
@@eatabullet4045 Also I've come to realize Ant's country song should be about knockin boots with Jigsaw Madonna... "The devil came down to Hollywood"
The house next door to me was sold to…
Wow, older comments steadily censored from this thread with each new one I look at.
Anthony is so right.. EMBARRASSING! That’s exactly how it makes me feel
Ant sat through that whole west coast rap song a few weeks ago but couldn’t sit through this song. Says a lot about this song
Or maybe Ant just likes rap more than country?
@@DiggitySlice really wouldn’t surprise me. He’s musically hip I’m sure
"A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED!!!" 😂🤣😂
As a country rock artist. You’re right, there is a big machine that shits out the same songs in different orders, recorded by the same musicians in the same studios. Like everything, gotta look at the independent guys that’s where the talent lies
Exactly
Tyler Childers is very roots-based, classic Kentucky bluegrass that you hear very little of these days, which I appreciate 👌
Is Atlanta Rhythm Section considered country rock? I like those guys
I got ur play on words Chief!
Or just not listen to any of that trash. There's plenty of undiscovered music from the 1990s.
Mixed-race couples and beer is what country music is all about!! YEEEHAWWWWW
Well one good thing about Luke is he walks on the right side of the road. 😉
Ugh
It really is. Hillbillies in the South are the most pro-black people you've ever seen. They've all been raised with black friends, teachers, etc... so all the white hillbillies all act and talk black now.
Gross
Miscegenation is disgusting
Also, the reason country music is so generic and cookie cutter is because it appeals to young girls. So long as one bands music sounds similar to one another, it's easily digestible for people with no ear for quality. Even the lyrics aren't overly complicated. That's why their core audience is geared towards teenage girls. No adult would ever willingly listen to this and think it's good LOL
women are an important part of society and should be allowed to vote and go outside and drive a vehicle because if it weren't for women voting, a Democrat could never be elected President because fuckin worthless women need someone to take care of them because they're fuckin useless.
Coulter has the right idea by pointing out that as soon as women were allowed to vote, government spending started an inexorable upward trend as programs to support these worthless tramps expanded beyond any ability to pay for them.
Coulter is also right to suggest that the 19th amendment be repealed / abolished.
I know a 44 year old man with a 2 foot beard that loves country.
Hey what's up NKFD see you all the time in the Micheal Knowles and Matt Walsh live chats.
@@HansDester and still he has the taste of a teenage girl.
@GlockemDown More and more being around people like this in the place I live currently, I wonder HOW MUCH of a taste he's been getting and how much is he gleaning. Just saying. 🤷🏿♂️
My man saying what we all true country fans have been thinking for the last 10+ years.
20 years...brad paisley/keith urban kind of started the "stadium country." 90s country for the most part was pretty pussy as well though.
@@coltburks5450 Garth Brooks started this shit. Colter Wall and a few others are worth listening to.
@Colt Burks
I would argue it started getting bad in the mid-80s.
@@milesgeary6358 what bands?
@@coltburks5450 Billy cyrus, Allen jackson george strait🤏🏻
No black person would willingly go to a country bar and listen to that gayness.
Meanwhile whitey gotta jive to that bomb ass rap sheeeeeiiiit
@@TaxidermiedMessiah well yea gotta show everyone how funky fresh and not racist they are. I like country so I am gay.
Pop music sang with a twang isn’t country
Country is the white version of Mariachi music. All of the songs sound the same, lyrics are all the same, and the genres only appeal to people who grew up with the music.
Waylon Jennings had the same complaints nearly 50 years ago with "Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way?"
Anthony's general reaction to modern country music is top notch. I never liked it or it's repetitive themes. I'd rather listen to Willie Nelson or Kenny Rogers than this.
"WHAT ARE BLACKS DOING THERE?!!" xD home run cumia
Sounds like something Ant would normally say no matter where he is.
FAWK YEAH
I was so happy when Anthony said " Alright that's enough " 🤣
Not only that, but the chord progression is the most unimaginative, played out on earth. 99% of pop punk songs & commercials use the same progression.
Ahh yeah, the ol' "axis of awesome" progression I V vi IV. To be fair though, old country was 90% I IV V. It's just become identical to pop now. They found the chord progression that appeals to the largest number of people, and now they think that's the only way to chart.
There are 3 types of Country - Hank Williams, The Eagles, Billy Ray Cyrus
I can never recall any country and western song I could ever listen to. It is like fingernails on a chalkboard, or the screeching of a train’s breaks. My skin crawls and I change the station after 5 seconds.
My GF loves Morgan wallen and he sucks. I'm a metal head and these country musicians are just getting that woman money. No skills.
It's been the most generic worthless press-and-play nothing-music for decades and YET somehow it still exists and gets remade.
I can't stop laughing! One of Ant's best rants!!
The diversity in this video is hysterical, clearly the guys who made this video has never been in a country bar
After hearing that song, my last two brain cells are fighting for their lives.
Waylon Jennings, Meril, Johnny, Willie and the boys were the best country ever got.
And John Prine
There's Dwight Yoakam and then there's everyone else.
Garth Brooks had some bangers too
We need 80s rock music back or something that has raw energy to it
yea bring back hanoi rocks!!!!!!
Fawk yeah duwduwduwduw
@@AugustThor438 DVV DVV!!! DVV DVV!!!! DVV DVV DVV DVV DVV!!!!
Music so heavy only the devil can lift it **Headbangs**
Do we?
Corporate mainstream pop country and it's fanbase is almost as bad as it's modern rap equivalent.

Agreed, modern country is terrible but I've gotten into an old country mode lately and some of that stuff is DARK. Check out Mammoth Cave Secret sometime, it takes a wild turn.
Luke Bryan = Kermit the Frog. Seriously, close your eyes and listen to any of his songs and tell me you don't think of a Muppet singing. The only reason I can think of his popularity is mass hypnosis.
3:42 They follow us around EVERYWHERE now, so it wouldn’t surprise me. There’s ghetto brawls at the Silverton Casino/Bass Pro Shop here in Vegas.
Where da white women at?
there's a structured formula corporate music follows from the bridge, chorus, timing, tempo, and even lyrical topics.
“…and the white dude’s talking to the black chick. This is outrageous!”
That song sounds like a woman should be singing it. I hate the way the song stops then he says … knockin boots
Yea that was the gayest part
" I'd rather eat the barrel of a double barrel 12 gauge loaded shotgun , than to hear that shit they call pop country music on 98.1" ~ Hank 3
😂😂 You nailed it…..insipid pop country music….it makes my head hurt
Pop county is the worst plaque to humanity.
I grew up in a small town in texas. We had quite a bit of black cowboys. 5000 people in the town… everyone knew everyone else.
Small towns are where culture really merges.
Small towns have zero culture outside of cows and Walmart. I hate to say it, but it’s true. Everyone with any talent or creativity leaves. There are no young people or women under 50.
I need a clip of Ant singing country style, looped and set to a trap beat
Found out about anthony from the O&A show. Listen to it every morning now as if it was on air now. Good to see Ant is doing well and hasn’t changed much. Thanks for making my mornings better ant.
We do things a lil different round here..
LAAHHH! My name is Dierks Bentley.. Aaahhhl!
“Everyone I know in mah little town is addicted to opioooids-

See ahm nawt racciistt yeahhh”
I actually immediately got the nitty gritty dirt band reference lol 🤦♂️
Midland is worth a listen....
Never once heard them on the radio
@@adamprice3466 drinking problem has 200 million views on RUclips lol they get radio play
Country is just like rap... A type of music untalented people can pull off.
3:00 “under that Islam moon”
Yeah wtf was that
I couldn't have said it so eloquently.
I like when Antknee gets mad
all modern popular music whether its classified country, rock, r&b, etc, has been watered down into plastic homogenized instagram chick / soccer mom music. Blame women, once they're the target demographic you can expect something to be dumbed down to the level of a child.
Hey, I'm a traditional female and I completely agree with Ant. Not all women are dumbed down feminists.
@@pronounsuswe5698 Turn her mic off.
Women think like children because they're supposed to be taking care of them.
Another traditional woman here who agrees with Ant. If women are ruining music, especially modern country which has always sucked, what does that say about the men singing it?
@@gabriellademanicor That they know how to profit off the vapidness of female tastes & marketing gullibility.
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song, “Fishing in the Dark” is far, far superior to the modern crap boot knocking song. This is much more actual country music as opposed to the modern crap that’s churned out today. So, I totally agree with everything he said about modern country music but don’t diss the real stuff too.
Born and raised in the area you're moving to Ant. And I'll be the first to tell you. This shit is ATROCIOUS.
I'm from the South and this "modern" country music is unbearable.
Anytime a song mentions the moon or stars it’s garbage
I never thought Bo Burnham and Anthony would be on the same page about something. Panderin'
Yes, older country is way better than today's.
As a resident of Nashville, country music today sucks donkey balls.
Try some Will Wood and the Tapeworms on the jukebox next time- that'll clear the place out 🤣
Every modern country singer and band member looks like a yuppie from brooklyn
Fishing in the Dark is a song by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. And agreed on your take on country. The exact same can be said of current pop music sadly.
Totally agree. I am a mobile DJ and I have almost all popular genres covered but modern country just doesn’t stick. It is the only genre that I will not play unless requested to do so and it has to be an actual request. Only thing modern country is good for is the odd slow dance.
And the over done tropes and half the time I don’t know if they are trying to encourage me to drive drunk or be saved.
People talk about rap being crap? Needs to look at country too.
Ant is right, Country music has been largely the same since the 1980's. There's this upbeat variation which is more country/pop fusion and then the other which is the sad country ballad. The former usually deals with partying, slapping genitals, drinking beer, 'murica, slutty country girl revenge songs, and rebelling against authority while the latter almost exclusively covers a woman breaking a man's heart.
I could listen to Ant complain about shit for days. Lol.
Country music "lyrics" sound like they're written by 8 year olds.
"Are there people who like this fucking shit??"
Yes....and they all live in Delaware....I can't even go to bar anymore......
I live in the countryside, and my God, I hate modern country with every fiber of my being. This…shit makes me want to rip my own ears off. The way modern country music is produced is almost identical to how modern rap music is produced.
You’re essentially taking a trap beat (the exact same as found in your typical rap song), someone with a southern accent (who most likely lives in Suburbia and not the countryside), typing “write me a country song” into ChatGPT. The generated song will likely contain the following words, used very regularly throughout the song:
• “truck”
• “girls”
• “windy dirt road”
• “Chevy”, “Ford”, and/or “Dodge”
• “bar”
• “small town”
• need I go on?
Then you sing whatever ChatGPT puts in front of you, auto tune the recording, and there’s your song. Do an album cover and go profit off it!
No thought, no soul and no passion whatsoever.
In fact, if someone held a gun to my head and told me to choose between modern country and modern rap, I would DEFINITELY pick modern rap. It’s THAT BAD. Modern rap is still terrible, but it’s more tolerable than this garbage.
The classic country (such as Johnny Cash, Roger Miller, Charlie Daniels, or even the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), I actually enjoy listening to. Why? They put their heart and soul into their work, and its an actual story that’s told by and actually seems to originate from the singer themselves, NOT an AI program, and its sang with their actual voice, and the song is not an autotuned AI-generated cesspool.
Classic country, classic rock, and 90s/2000s grunge rock are my 3 favorite genres of music. I do not notice any lyrical diversity or uniqueness in any modern country song as I do in these three genres. Just my 2¢.
Modern country sucks so bad and I feel another reason that it feels so formulaic is that so much of it has an inauthentic forced drawl.
It’s so apparent that I’ve largely moved to listening to Australian country music instead by guys like Slim Dusty because it’s refreshing hearing a different accent sing country music.
Anthony is the greatest. I absolutely love him.
My dad had a Charlie Pride album, or two probably, but I seem to recall on one of the live recordings the crowds cheers are dying down. Just as it became quite a woman yells out "hey! You're black." He replied "Yes, ma'am. I am." and began playing.
(It's been 40'ish years. I most likely either butchered the story or it was a dream.)
Or the video when they are cheering and yelling and the lights come on and it goes quiet as a mouse until 3 minutes after the music starts and a few people start to clap a lil
OMG..... ok I have kinda sorta listened to Anthony over the years but man, this shit had me rolling. Like face hurting, rolling. It's been a HOT minute since I lost it this bad. From delivery to message this whole thing is *chefskiss*.
Long time fans is this Ant just at neutral; riffing?
Is there anything better than listening to feel good southern party music and just hearing Anthony in the background, _yelling_ about the black people in the music video LMAO
Its just pop music with a southern drawl.
Agree with everything he said.
Still like it better than rap 😂
Much modern country has hip hop drum loops
@@fringestream990 Hip Hop is not music. Thanks for trying.
@@clvrswine Yes it is
Older country from 30s to early 2000s was great we got shit now
Didn't Ant move to South Carolina? This still looks like the NYC set.
Idiocracy 2023 🇺🇸
goddam i love Cumia for this
This shlt isn't country, it's pop country. It's like labeling bands such as Green Day and blink-182 punk rock. It's all watered-down FM radio garbage... There are some actual modern country musicians who are listenable if you're a fan of guitar work and actual song writers. You have to dig deep to find good music in any genre these days.
Anthony is more qualified to make this assessment than people realize. Dude used to moonlight as a musician back when he was knocking tin.
Pop with a southern accent
Country accent
Hey girl.
Small town.
Cold beer.
Truck.
And there it is, I wrote a hit song.
What’s even worse is that there is good country but it doesn’t get played on the radio. Even worse people act like they hate any real country while defending songs that are only country due to a fake ass accent and the same five chords.
Ant might be a little too “urban” to enjoy country music
