A guitar legend who absolutely does not have the recognition he deserves. But he's happily married and seems to be content in life and tbh who really can ask for more.
I loved this guy. Sold more records than Elvis and The Beatles. Musical genius and it’s just a damn shame to find out that he’s a… vampire. I just can’t support vampires.
When I was in a touring band from 2006-2010, I used to see Hinson was playing the same venues and same tour trail. I was always curious about him, as I used to play rockabilly years earlier and he looked interesting. Its been years and this video was entertaining as I wondered what happened to him. Also did not know he's from Asheville, where I ve lived for 20 years.

@@JustDatBoi bingo, I tried to send this 3 times after I remove all the curse words and racial slurs and anti semitic sentiment it might go through. Lol
I saw him live in a small venue and after the show he did free autographs for anyone who wanted one. Bought a great shirt and had him sign my entry ticket. Some of the coolest things I own. Great show and awesome guy.
He was incredible live - I saw him at the Mercy Lounge In Nashville. He was such an over the top showman that it somehow made people expect he wasn’t goin to be a kickass guitarist. But dude was good…made SUCH a huge impression on me as a young man. The whole venue was hypnotized.
He's like the very most comedic and extreme version of Johnny Paychek, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Glen Campbell, Jerry Lee Lewis and a Vampire all in one. Legend. ❤
You left out Merle, when I first started watching his stuff recently I thought he looked so familiar then I realized he looks similar to a young Merle Haggard
Underrated on guitar as well this man is just a natural. AND someone for the love of god get this man some meat. Baker doesn't just play guitar it's just part of who he is.
I recently sold my last remaining cassette tapes after my last tape deck died (got drunk on Rye Whiskey and flipped my old Plymouth into a quarry) They sold for HEAPS more than C.D.'s were selling for.
Surprisingly enough that's true. Reminds me of the fact that movies are still stored on backup film copies, not just digital, because the film nowadays can last like 400 years when stored properly.
This dude has an outstanding schtick. The Adult Swim issue, the Dolly issue. All of it. Schtick. Outstanding. I'd pay a $5 cover to see him in any bar, anytime.
@@furrtaco5938I agree. I was already annoyed with AS with the whole Workd Peace cancellation, but I had no idea why they had replaced him with Tracy Morgan until now. They fired the obvious talent, and threw away a fucking show that had a 15+ year run, bc of a facebook post. Absolutely moronic.
How they doubled down and told the audience to get used to it really made it insulting and worse than it needed too. I hope that show flopped hard after the switch
You forgot to mention arguably the most bizarre fact about Unknown Hinson: he's one of Billy Bob Thornton's dejected-looking backing band members in that one infamous interview where he goes off the rails on that radio DJ.
Yeah when he was on Q with Jian Ghomeshi in Canada (who’s also been cancelled for alleged sexual violence) Unknown was the Bassplayer for BBT’s band The Boxmasters.
I think I attempted to go to that show but ended up getting a horrid migraine on the way there. One of the handful of shows I genuinely regret being unable to attend!
Unknown played Austin several times back in the day. He was always good to the fans. Played a great show and signed autographs for everyone that wanted one. No one ever went away disappointed. Great guy.

Back around 2013 I lived in North GA and my heroes were Unknown Hinson, Popcorn Sutton, Hank Jr., Hank 3, The Whites Of West VA and Oxycodone. My favorite party liquor was Popcorn Sutton in the black bottle.
Met Jesco back in 99ish. He was with Birdie May and both were, as we say back home, good people. I lived in Charleston, WV and 1 block from the Empty Glass where I saw him and other family members at least once a month. Love for the Dancing Outlaw. I'm a huge Squiddbillies fan and use Unknown's voice around the house constantly. These guys are truly the Outlaws in Outlaw Country.
I worked at Protone Pedals and used to build a lot of pedals with his scary face on them. Edit: Dont mistake that for a brag. I wasn't super great and our stuff was often poorly reviewed at the time. Hope some folks rocked out with our janky lil' babies

@@malakai713 The absurdity of his firing is that the things he said about her were the exact type of things Earl Culyer would say. They fired him for essentially being in-character. Dolly Parton isn't a goddess, she is a public figure and open to criticism as a result.

@@joshriver75 "His comments could have been detrimental to adult swim as a whole..." Nonsense. Everything he said was right. Cry about it, call me a "bigot," do whatever you want. Were adult swim fans crying out for him to be fired? No. All he did was call out Dolly's pandering for what it was. And he did it in a way that was identical to his character. I never mentioned the 1st amendment, so you're arguing with yourself over that. Fortunately we are well past the point where people are getting canceled for calling out BLM's BS. The revelation of the "founder" stealing millions in donations really put the nail in the coffin.
Saw him live in florida around 2012 and even got him to talk on my cell phone to my little brother. He made sure to explain that no recording devices were to be used prior to saying "Hey there bud" it was a super cool moment for us both. Then I got to see again many years later in virginia where Rev Horton Heat was his backing band. Spectacular!
Brother, thank you for this. Last week was Elvis Hitler. This week, Unknown Hinson. I saw him open for the Rev in Fargo, ND in like 2002-2003ish, to maybe 20-30 people. By that point, he'd started pressing cds. Lol
I had no idea he was the voice of Early! I remember seeing him alot on TV, my parents wouldn't let me listen to his music but, I did anyway. Dude is a brilliant musician and songwriter! A true Legend!
Holy cow man I didn't know anything about this guy! He is a helluva picker! I've always liked Squidbillies and have seen him in the credits but....damn! I never had the misfortune to see Squidbillies after he was dumped. I can't believe they got Tracy Morgan as a DEI hire for Earl.
Unknown has always been a gun toting American vampire and patriot. So what if he called Dolly that, its all a part of the character and im a fan of Dolly Parton. The man is a top tier guitar player and a musical genius ❤
He apologized for his drunken racism the next day but, after he was fired he doubled back down on it. It wasn't being in character, it's how he feels.

But you take off that uniform, ain't no one ever gonna know you were a Nazi." I was buying his music and going to his shows, before he compared me to a cannibalistic sub-human monster. The man can shred like no other but there's no way I'm supporting that schmuck.
I share the same sentiment. Given I'm a bi liberal who really enjoyed his music, what he said was a giant slap in the face. Apparently, he either became like his character IRL or was just always a spiteful biggot. Sure, he is a very talented musician, and I love that he's like a morbid/vampire/country version of Weird Al, but it's just hard to support someone who seems like such a problematic person. I would sincerely hope he's changed since that post, but I have no evidence saying that he has.
People are too sensitive about words. I grew up listening to gg allin. Dude is not a role model or even a good human. Doesn’t mean his songs don’t get me pumped. Politics really ruins everything.
I remember we went out one night to a show in Charlotte and afterward Unknown came back to my buddy Charles house, Hellstreet Tavern. A good time was had by all! And what a GREAT guitar player. Im a fan for life.
Stumbled into the man's dressing room at a show in West Virginia, drunk as hell... he was way cooler than anyone should have been in that situation. Didn't just shoot me. Shook my hand and said ok now get the hell out 😂
He did also say something like racially insensitive, which was why they replaced him with a black man. He literally said Dolly was "surrendering her race" or some shiz.
I love Hinson! I would always play him at the BBQ joint I worked at when it was my turn to pick the tunes, and customers would always want to know who it was. Unknown Hinson is a God.
I gave a Buddy of Mine Shawn Murphy who worked at VideoDrome a Homemade MixTape of Hinson, One of VideoDrome's Regular customer's and Was a BackGround Artist For Aqua Teen Hunger Force named Shawn Coleman who can be seen in this video as the guy trying to get voice track through Hinson hotel Door , Coleman was also the creator of the One or 2 episodes of the Squidbillie's with Hershal Walker Culyer the original GatorHator anyway my buddy Shawn Murphy gave the mix tape to Shawn Coleman who shared it with his coworkers at Adult Swim and the Rest is Adult Swim History.
People are so sensitive..He was on a mad rant cause another country music singer went on the whole BLM train..And getting Tracy to voice the character was a bad mistake.
He was the most down-to-earth guy you'd ever find, my Grandad lost his dentures and Hinson took his out and said here, enjoy your dinner, Zeb. Hinson was an artist who loved meat whether on the bun or on the bones.
I agree. He probably thought he'd get his job back, but that's just not how that side of the aisle works. The most unbelievable part of the whole debacle was them hiring Tracy Morgan instead of just cancelling the show. That wasn't a finger to Unknown; it was a massive middle finger to us fans and they knew exactly what they were doing!
Unknown's the man. Lucky enough to see him play at a Mission Tiki Drive-In event a while back. Super cool dude, got a picture with him and his autograph.
I'm pretty sure Unknown Hinson could care less what anyone thinks about what he says. And I'm pretty dang sure that Hinson is a real physical part of Stewart Baker. And somewhere deep inside Stewart, Unknown really does exist!

People are too sensitive about words. I grew up listening to gg allin. Dude is not a role model or even a good human. Doesn’t mean his songs don’t get me pumped. Politics really ruins everything.
Hank Williams 3rd has a tattoo of Hinson on his arm. I always loved him, he's the number one chart-toppin' hero! As talented as he is disturbing!
Dudes a bad ass guitarists
Unknown brought joy to me at a very rough and sad time in my life, I wish I could thank him somehow
I took guitar lessons from him in 1996. But he was just Danny Baker. I see him in his 1966ish nova wagon here and there.
I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard of this guy. This man is awesome!
Legend
I've played in hard rock bands since the 1980's and I have never heard of this guy,... Love him, ...
Criminally underrated musician.
Complete and total legend. 🙏
Unknown Hinson is a God Damn legend and one bad ass guitar picker!
Those sideburns got arrested last week, he wont post bail for them. Shame
"Don't touch the trim"!
*Earlee Squidbilly quote
Opened up for him a few times, cool dude and awesome guitar player!
I cleaned out a room in my trailer for you!
What was that first song? He played some magic on those strings!
Take a drink, be somebody.
I remember we went out one night to a show in Charlotte and afterward Unknown came back to my buddy Charles house, Hellstreet Tavern. A good time was had by all! And what a GREAT guitar player. Im a fan for life.
Got hip to him at a hank 3 show sooo good!!!
Somebody PLEASE!!! tell me what song he's playing at the beginning. That guitar riff is addictive.

@@PunkTome hell yeah! I appreciate that
I love his wandering sideburns
Stumbled into the man's dressing room at a show in West Virginia, drunk as hell... he was way cooler than anyone should have been in that situation. Didn't just shoot me. Shook my hand and said ok now get the hell out 😂
Gotta see him live and those chart toppin' hits.
I love his music and squidbillies ain't the same
Unknown hinson rules
He did also say something like racially insensitive, which was why they replaced him with a black man. He literally said Dolly was "surrendering her race" or some shiz.
The Kang!
I love Hinson! I would always play him at the BBQ joint I worked at when it was my turn to pick the tunes, and customers would always want to know who it was.
Unknown Hinson is a God.
Great reference when he called ppl "Eloi" in that tweet.😂 He was absolutely correct about Dolly in that situation... F cancel culture...🔥🔥
🔥🎸🔥
I gave a Buddy of Mine Shawn Murphy who worked at VideoDrome a Homemade MixTape of Hinson, One of VideoDrome's Regular customer's and Was a BackGround Artist For Aqua Teen Hunger Force named Shawn Coleman who can be seen in this video as the guy trying to get voice track through Hinson hotel Door , Coleman was also the creator of the One or 2 episodes of the Squidbillie's with Hershal Walker Culyer the original GatorHator anyway my buddy Shawn Murphy gave the mix tape to Shawn Coleman who shared it with his coworkers at Adult Swim and the Rest is Adult Swim History.
People are so sensitive..He was on a mad rant cause another country music singer went on the whole BLM train..And getting Tracy to voice the character was a bad mistake.
He was the most down-to-earth guy you'd ever find, my Grandad lost his dentures and Hinson took his out and said here, enjoy your dinner, Zeb. Hinson was an artist who loved meat whether on the bun or on the bones.
I saw unknown live long time ago now. It was awesome!
Hinson can play the hell out of a guitar. His music is genius. Never get tired of it. All the Womerns love it.
Nothing he said was wrong, untrue or false, he should've never apologized.
I agree. He probably thought he'd get his job back, but that's just not how that side of the aisle works. The most unbelievable part of the whole debacle was them hiring Tracy Morgan instead of just cancelling the show. That wasn't a finger to Unknown; it was a massive middle finger to us fans and they knew exactly what they were doing!
Unknown's the man. Lucky enough to see him play at a Mission Tiki Drive-In event a while back. Super cool dude, got a picture with him and his autograph.
Unknown is a Southern Treasure that can't be duplicated. Grace and Love
You can't cancel somebody that doesn't give a fuck
I'd rather Hinson than Dolly any day.
He sings better.
I'm pretty sure Unknown Hinson could care less what anyone thinks about what he says.
And I'm pretty dang sure that Hinson is a real physical part of Stewart Baker. And somewhere deep inside Stewart, Unknown really does exist!
Unknown was the best. Its a shame the spineless adult whims gave in to cancel culture.
He did it to himself. Turns out, people don't like when you call Dolly Parton a slut and a race traitor.
he talked shit on Dolly and got crushed by his own stupidity
@@milotron fuck dolly or any celebrity that uses their fame to spread their political beliefs.
@@milotron f dolly and any other celeb that uses their fame to peddle their political opinion.
@@milotron It was more than talking shit about Dolly, it was calling minorities cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers, etc:
"So, now this freak titted, old Southern bimbo is a BLM Lover? Remember, slut, Rednecks made you a Millionaire! Yeah leave. Leave Liberals! Unfriend me, please. Because I don’t want you UN-AMERICANS around! Have fun becoming an Eloi or something without a thought of your own where you bow down to the ALL-KNOWING-MINORITY! HAVE FUN forsaking your own race, culture and heritage. Have a nice time! Dolly is on her knees sucking one. On her knees, like everybody else. Surrendering her race and culture like everyone else for popularity gain. If you’re white, wake up!"
When the world needed him most, he vanished
Oh yeah baby!!
His Bridge of Sighs, Alice Cooper cross over is fantastic
i saw him live in tennessee in like 2015, best show i ever saw hands down ,
Boy, sumthin wrong wit u?
Aint you knows? Aint you readed them other comments? ur correct grammar is INCORRECT here. And it aint wanted! Or welcome! u supposed to be says:
"i seen him live...."
Jus like all them other good peoples done said here, repeatedly.
My step-mamma mighta been a prosty-toot, but I reckon she learned me a bushel er two of good old wisdoms. And one of em was:
"Good grammar, equals bad heart!"
Fuck the woke crowd this man is a legend
Wait wait. Im pretty woke, black dude and i dont agree with this shit at all. Everybody is entitled to their shitty ass opinion. With that being said, hail King Hinson!
I’ve officially decided to cope by believing he’s just permanently in character and isn’t actually retarded.
