    Saw him 3 different times in Jacksonville Beach Florida at what was at the time The Free Bird Cafe. Ronnie Van Zant' widow Opened up. Great venue for Live music. Anyhow, 3 unbelievable shows every time. The last show he came off stage & came straight to me, my girlfriend & her cousin. Said we were rocking out harder than anyone else in the crowd & had to come holler. He bought us drinks and I bought him some in return. I commented on his drummer reminding me so much of Animal from the Muppets with the wild hair and badass drumming. He thanked me and said damn Man you're right & then calling his drummer over & I told em I had some badass Bud & some Killer Moonshine which I did & then we retired to his tourbus and proceeded TO GET LIVE!!!! Literally one of the absolute hands down best nights of my entire life!!! It was just amazing. We talked music, guitars and amps, fiddles and just had a really great time. Stayed with him about 3 whole hours and he was genuinely unhappy when we had to go & he had to get on the road. I'll never forget that he insisted on us calling him Shelton and we introduced ourselves to him once inside the club when he first came to us and started talking to us and he called us by name the entire time on the tourbus and never once asked what was y'all's names again or anything like that. He was just a genuinely nice really really great dude. I made it a point to let him know that I had met Kid Rock a couple of times because of my friendship with Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd and he said F#@k Kid Rock!!! Man that was a great great night.

    When I was about 17, my dad took me to a Robert Earl Keen show. Shooter Jennings opened, Hank 3 middled, and Keen closed it out. Before and after their respective sets, the entirety of the lineup mingled with the crowd, bought people drinks, lit up doinks and passed them around. To this day, best concert I’ve ever been to hands down. I got to meet the triple crown of outlaw country royalty because my dad didn’t have the communication skills to tell me he was sorry for being such a dick growing up. Fair trade, old man.

He plays like 4 hours and absolutely dishes it out, finishes the show, sits on the end of the stage and shakes every hand, drinks every shot (I mean a line of people forms that lasts for a long time, I don't know how he walked back to his bus) and is pretty much an open book, who absolutely earns every red cent of that ticket price. He never disappoints and I'm grateful to have caught the Straight to Hell era live like 3 times. Hell of an Artist, hell of a down to earth person as well.

When I saw them live it was next fucking level and a moment in time that probably wont be captured again. ie Phils heroin arc, and everyone just drowning in fusion hardcore and drugs. It was so influential to me I ever started using at one point and ruined 10 years of my life, but despite the bad times in jail and everything. Ill always remember it fondly.

    I saw Hank 3 on that tour around 7:40
    His crowd was the most diverse I have ever seen in 30 years of going to shows.

    Holy shit!! That is the greatest thing Ive ever saw!! I now remember someone telling me about this guy a few years back. That was the same guy that told me about some of the Country rap and rock stuff that I have now enjoyed for many years. I never checked this guy out. I have a 4 hour drive to make this morning, I know what I will be listening to now. This sounds amazing!! How have I never listened to this guys music??

    I love me some Hank 3 , Arson Anthem , Assjack and all he is involved with ! He is not only real country , he is the real deal and real to the bone ! I recently moved to a little town in Kentucky where everybody listens to country , yet nobody ever heard of him ! Blew my mind ! So Slowly but surely I've been showing his music off and telling a bit about him to everyone who will listen , and now they love him and wonder why they are just now hearing of him lol ! I get em hooked with 7 Months 39 Days and Cecil Brown and go from there .

    I met him and hung out with him for 10 hours at a cheap motel in Knoxville Tennessee as he was touring with Superjoint Ritual which was Phil Anselmo's (of Pantera) band. He was extremely down to earth. I asked him why he chose the underground scene over the "mainstream" legacy his father and grandfather left. He said,..."Because im a fan of ugly and brutal honesty." He also said he never has to worry about money but refuses to touch his family's money. Which i took as "i make my own way from A to Z. I will say this though. He did have a significant drug issue when i met him. He was very transparent about it. Sheldon has a golden heart. Extremely kind and giving. I really hope he is doing well. Love you brother.

    I always thought he had a "Pure Williams Voice" and he is a talent for sure. But I worry about his soul. Sure his Grandpa and His Daddy were hell raisers, but Hank 111 is on another level. Time is short my brother......... Jesus Christ is waiting on you my friend. Darkness aint always your friend. trust me on that. Ive been there. Praying for you Hank🙏🙏🙏🤠

    I’ve probably seen a couple hundred concerts I guess but I’d never seen anything like them at that time. World class musicianship starting with Shelton and they just nonstop blew our brains out for four or five hours. Don’t think I ever never met a nicer dude either.

    Thank you! I didn’t know about this. I used to see Hasil Adkins and got to hang out with him a few times. I miss that guy, he let me play his guitar and he used old🚬 cigarettes shoved into the strings to keep them in tune. He told me I “got the hunch “. Anyway this is new to me something to check out 🙌appreciated !

    I saw him in Indiana. I'm one of those people who would go see ANY live band if I had the time. Country has never been my absolute favorite, but I respected it. I was just vibing and drinking when he announced that the country portion of the show was over and they were going to burn the fucking place down. If you were there for country, and offended by punk and metal it was time to get the fuck out. I was all in! Easily one of the greatest surprise shows of my life. I loved it all. The hard-core, and the country.

    It's interesting to know Shelton Williams knows the true spirit of Punk Rock. I love the Killed By Death album compilations.
    You should look for Blood Stains Across Texas albums.
    I wonder how many KILLED BY DEATH records have been made? I have a handful of records #1 - #13 I picked up from Hogwild Record in San Antonio over 25 years ago or longer.
