Rough around the edges, but very articulate. Can write a song about anything and make it sound good. That's what makes him an entertainer. Very smart man.
I don't ride motorcycles.But I play music.Bikers are some of the best music fans and most fun people to hang out with in the universe.I love my biker friends and brothers.And I do believe in "SNITCHES ARE A DYING BREED!!!"
I'm a TRIUMPH guy, but lovin ridin next to my Harley buddies too. Two of the best motorcycles in the world if oyu ask me. Both have their outlaw heritage at one time or another.
Limey bikes are ok, I had a 68' Norton when I was a kid. Fast, fun, loud bike at the time. Graduated to a real bike in my 20s, HD. Nothing is like a Panhead though, Nothing like em'.
I have had a chinese 125cc "Whoflungdung" for 10 years now. Still going strong. Pased my test an a BSA Bantam early 1960's Whats red and throbs between your legs? GPO bantam or Aussie posty bike. Check our "Itchy Boots" RUclips.
DAC he is dead on with his story...I love to here the storys behind the songs and i always like to hear his opinion cause your never sure what he will say next...hes one of a kind ..a ..ledgend
I've owned Harley's for over 45 years and my first Harley was a whopping $1,200. and I was an instant Outlaw. At 22 yrs old I did things that I look back on and wonder what the f**k was I thinking hanging out with known Outlaws. I have so much respect for someone that did what their hearts told them to do right or wrong. Your past is who you are!
I remember when me and my late husband were coming back from Sturgis George Christie and his prospecting members pulled in he said to my late husband he says you know I just might need to take her back to California with me my husband said to George George you don't have enough members or enough prospects to take it
I started on a friends Pacemaker Whizzer motor bike when I was 8 years old in 1949. I bought my first Doodlebug motor scooter when I was 10. I mowed lawns. When I was 14 I traded a 37 Chevy, a Winchester 12 ga. single shot shot gun and 20 dollars for a 1942 Flat Head 45. I am now 80 years old and ride a 99 Harley Softail Custom. Had several bikes in between. Rode an 84 Iron Head Sportster for 23 years. Wish I still had that old 45. Side shift on the tank and foot clutch. No front brake because the cable was broke. I learned how to keep it running on my own. I could not afford Harley parts. That old 45 was almost bullet proof. It just kept on running. After I graduated from high school I never had a car for the first year. Only a motorcycle. Those were the days. I rode winter and summer. Now I pick my days. I have been retired from working as a petro pipeline trouble shooter for 16 years. I have a very understanding wife. All three of my boys have had bikes. My oldest built his from the ground up. He is a machinist and built many of his own parts. Never was a hard core biker by any means, just always loved riding Harleys. Probably only ridden 150 thousand miles in my life.
Saw Coe at the star lounge in Raleigh N.C. and while I was having a beer at the bar I realized that the old guy next to me was Coe’s dad and after I bought him a couple of beers he said if I wanted to get Dave’s autograph I better get it quick because he was putting him to bed after the show. Dave was a little off his game that night kept forgetting some words or what part of the song he was at but nobody cared because this was David Allen Coe and he was in our town performing for us and it was great...

Thank you VideoBob, for asking David all the good questions. Maybe a few of the wannabes needed to hear his remarks to spark them into some serious introspection about why they ride, and they'll wake up someday soon with a new outlook on life. Not to rag on them, but they are sort of like all the rockers who bitched about how they hated the very existence of blues music, and then as soon as blues got more popular and more mainstream, they turned around telling everyone "We were really just blues players all along", yeah...avoiding the notes that didn't fall into the five-note pentatonic scale, not comprehending the least thing about expression or feeling. Fashion victims who just HAD to be seen profiling around the town on something they could afford but didn't understand. But I'm not here to cast any more stones at this point, I just want to say that David has simply stated his mind, and from that we get a positive reaction in our gut. If I may, let me elaborate by saying that when you know every part of something , when it is you breathing on it under the knife, when you embrace it for what it is, and utter an oath of fealty to it, when you know its limitations and it's shining glory, it becomes a part of you, and all of life becomes a constant desire to remain tightly bonded with it and within yourself. It makes you what you are, and it shapes the way you approach everything else you get involved with. I wasted a lot of my life before I ever found that out. It had to just about crush me before I discovered it, but from here on out, I can die happy any damn day! David, you have more wisdom than you may know. You matter so damn much to so many people, I wonder if you are aware of all the people who are better off with you in the world. My most heartfelt thanks. Ride on, Brother!!
Speaking of only having a motorcycle for transportation. Around 1990 I ŕode my rigid 1976 shovel chopper from March 17 to November 26th in Saskatoon..love DAC hes been my musical hero since i was a kid..
Don't give a damn if its a moped or a boss hoss I ya love 2 wheels it's all the same, trust me I've rode em all, each and every one has a personality, and all of them scream FREEDOM!
Everyone has a "starter" bike. For me, it was a '68 650cc Triumph. Then a '70 750cc Triumph. Then came the Honda 750. Then all the Harleys came into my life. A couple sportsters, then a Electra Glide Sport, then a Tour Glide, and after that a Heritage Softtail and then a '03 Twin Cam Softtail . I've been riding for over 40 yrs now. I rode in a club for a few yrs, and a whole lot more yrs as an independent rider. Which ever floats your boat, just ride!!!
Man, I would love to get one of those old '68 or '70 Triumphs! Even now sitting here in '23 those old bikes just call to me. Like DAC said you could fix a lot with just a pair of pliers, a screwdriver & some duct tape or wire. Being able to maintain & fix your junk on the side of the road if need be is a part of freedom & independance so many bikers past & present sought.
Wow that is freaking crazy! I decided to watch this video a second time a few weeks later and just realized the interviewer is freaking video bob on RUclips!!! Lets goooooooo!
Bought my first real bike when I was 18 it was a used 1965, 650 Triumph Bonneville that was in1969 and my first HD was a 1973 FX back in the AMF days.Sold my VW bug and Triumph to get the loan. Out the door for $2,500. a hell of a lot of money back then for this broke sailor. I was stationed in Little Creek, VA and he is right about not made in the USA the front forks had Japan on them. My first accessory was a repair manual. You had to learn how to wrench your bike back then.
Ask him about the Panhead song: She's hard to get started She's always so cold In the mornings I find her - She's looking so old There's so many miles I've been down that road once or twice She's not much to look at When we ride thru town But I know when the chips fall She won't let me down She knows how to run And she don't run around on her man......

Mystical your story sounds an awful lot like mine. I started with a tote goat worked up to Honda Suzuki’s then I went for quite a while without a bike then I got a bull taco to 50% five speed it used to be Jim Pomeroy in Evel Knievel‘s training bike Knievel work for Pomeroys in Yakima anyway, I finally got me a Harley at 68 years old. I was able to afford a old 99 Electra glide custom. It was all I could buy just the other day. Can’t wait till it gets here so I can ride it.
Rode a 1100 shadow across the american midwest camping under the stars the entire way through sun and storms. A harley someday till then ill love my honda.
Let me sum it up like this this...back in the old days when you'd see bikers, you'd think, "I'm in danger!" Now, when you see bikers you think..."Oh cool, maybe they got gum!"
In the words of the great Waylon Jennings( a True Outlaw)..."Here comes Big, Bad, David Allen Coe, Comes to town to fight the system...double parks on music row".
Met DAC several times; scared ,not too bad and then, yeah, he's alright ! He wore the colors , owned only a IRON HORSE ( LOL) and wrote beautiful songs .He " called me by my name " once ( he recognized me) and yep; 1953 PanHead ; saviour ,Amen frame ; belt driven & suicide shift ! BEAUTIFUL ; my first ride ; a toddlerwith my Daddy ! Anyways, everybody has a story and he OWNS his ! There's more to him than what most people know ! Respect is earned and DAC certainly has earned his ! Oh, and I love your story ; 99% ••• lol 😊
+Drew Arriola I love him, but the wig's not fierce. It just looks odd. He's such a fucking legend, and doesn't need it. Just shave the dome...www.wdrb.com/story/22605297/benefit-held-in-louisville-for-country-singer-david-allan-coe
Hate that I'm young enough to miss a lot of music I love today. But at least I didnt have to go through the HONDA-Davidson years. Cant believe all the AMF stripe shirts and logos at the dealer now. Made feel proud carrying out $1000 worth of Willie G chrome past it all.
I remember watching my old man and friends, in a long line, against a curb, the hop up and down, sometimes in unison, other times at multi intervals, god bless DAC and RIP SKJ, may not be pretty but it runs like a top and hear the cow bell.
When I started getting into it as an older teen / young adult you had to wait for for 6 months or more to get a new bike unless you wanted one of the few that were on the show room floor. They held there value also. Now the market is flooded with dressers that weekend bikers got tired of washing and parking on the drive way on Sunday afternoons. Only a fool or a person with way to much money would buy a brand new one today IMO when you can buy an utra classic or similar with under 40 thousand miles on it for 6 or 7 grand used. I have seen them with well under 30 thousand on them for under 7 grand. that will hold it's value for resale. You can buy it in the winter and ride it for two seasons and sell it the same as you paid for it and it's still a good de
Yeah, I earned my Red Wings in Butte Montana in 1978, playing in an outlaw band with Evel Kneivel at the table in front of me. The bandleader soon became the president of the Midwest Motorcycle club, got his Harley franchise as a private repairman, made custom bikes, and eventually started up the most excellent tattoo parlor he now owns & operates. The 883 Harley has a distinguished history, no other motorcycle has had a longer run in the history of civilization. It's been in continuous production since 1957. There's no such thing as a girls bike. I'm looking at a Kawasaki Eliminator 125, because I love the look of it. I picked myself up and walked away from an 80-MPH get-off, and rode 'er home, eat your hearts out roller bearings, I got spun harder than many and still held up, Haha! Sure would love an FXR, though... keep the rubber down, maybe David will let me sit in on lead guitar for a few tunes, if he wants to motor on up to our Sunday jams in Welch, Minnesota, next summer. That's your official invite, David!! You bring the shit, these boys will polish it fer ya!! Cannon River Inn, right across from the tubing facility (drunk chicks in bikinis, oh, the pain, the pain)...All amenities provided except condoms......
When I was stationed at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, Mississippi in '72 & "73, we could rent Kawasaki 90's off-base. That was the first time I'd piloted a motorbike. I sneaked a few extra miles in on a 3-cylinder two-stroke Kawasaki 750 when an inebriated service buddy asked me to ride it back to the air base once. My first wheelie, I didn't crash. The crashing happened after I got my first bike in 1988. I just sold it last week, and don't have a bike for the first time since. I got out of the Air Force in '75 and ended up playing in road bands off & on until about 1985. That's how I ended up in Butte, Montana in the summer of '78. Why would anyone doubt that Evel Kneivel might go to a bar in his hometown? The FXR was Harley's best attempt at a (customizable) cafe racer, but it was something less than perfect. As for the Eliminator 125, I think it looks great, sort of like if someone chopped a minibike. The thing about tiddlers is, you can flog them to within an inch of their life without breaking the speed limit! Maybe I'll actually get one someday. The part about the red wings... uhh, maybe you already know about that. Imagine four young, single musicians travelling out west, feeling like they are going to miss out if they can't get laid....
Saw David Allan Coe in a biker bar in Fairmont,WV many many years ago. I'll never forget it. What a show.
I went to a fight last night and a David Allen Coe concert broke out. True story multiple times
You have to respect a guy like David Allan Coe who earned everything he has. I would love to see him in concert some day.
patluvsvettes he played a one off unannounced outside of Pittsburgh in the early 00's...he was great, exactly how you'd imagine.
Ask the people in Eldon, Missouri about DAC....

So true.. I started on a little Honda mini 50 in 1974ish. Had many brands over my life.. finally my 1st Harley at 54 years old.

Let me sum it up like this this...back in the old days when you'd see bikers, you'd think, "I'm in danger!"
Now, when you see bikers you think..."Oh cool, maybe they got gum!"
I went and seen DAC at 7 points tx in 1975 Western Club
Legend
that place is a few miles from where i used to live in Daytona Beach. Iron Horse kicks serious ass.
In the words of the great Waylon Jennings( a True Outlaw)..."Here comes Big, Bad, David Allen Coe, Comes to town to fight the system...double parks on music row".
CAPTWINEHEAD the difference is Waylon had talent
rock n roll he also wasn't an outlaw....
If you ever heard Waylon say it. "Avoid David Allan Come if you can."
@@rocknroll7316 you must not know much of the guys music. He’s also written hits for some of the best
I love my ole biker brothers...
Met DAC several times; scared ,not too bad and then, yeah, he's alright ! He wore the colors , owned only a IRON HORSE ( LOL) and wrote beautiful songs .He " called me by my name " once ( he recognized me) and yep; 1953 PanHead ; saviour ,Amen frame ; belt driven & suicide shift ! BEAUTIFUL ; my first ride ; a toddlerwith my Daddy ! Anyways, everybody has a story and he OWNS his ! There's more to him than what most people know ! Respect is earned and DAC certainly has earned his ! Oh, and I love your story ; 99% ••• lol 😊
Nothing but respect for this man, laying down some real knowledge.
I love him and his wig, its fierce!
+Drew Arriola I love him, but the wig's not fierce. It just looks odd. He's such a fucking legend, and doesn't need it. Just shave the dome...www.wdrb.com/story/22605297/benefit-held-in-louisville-for-country-singer-david-allan-coe
We love ya brother.you ever come back too. Newfoundland.ya.ct.70lol......
Holy heart you sell fast.briangosse@gmail.com
Pretty sure that was the first time I seen him smile.
LUV YA DAVID !!!!!!!!!
Hate that I'm young enough to miss a lot of music I love today. But at least I didnt have to go through the HONDA-Davidson years. Cant believe all the AMF stripe shirts and logos at the dealer now. Made feel proud carrying out $1000 worth of Willie G chrome past it all.
We call them RUBS " Rich Urban Bikers"
Cherie I call them A-holes.
Only ride,all weather. Respect.
The beginning of the end was the invention of the electric starter.
If you can't start something that has a kicker you don't need to be riding anything. A lot of guys can't even hardly start a dirt bike.
ah don't worry about the starter, the whole damn thing is electric now.
I remember watching my old man and friends, in a long line, against a curb, the hop up and down, sometimes in unison, other times at multi intervals, god bless DAC and RIP SKJ, may not be pretty but it runs like a top and hear the cow bell.
Made my life a lot easier, except the fucking thing breaks, and drains my battery saves my leg sometimes tho...
, but it makes it a lot nicer for us old guys with bad back
We called them new leathers and still do.
Seems like a really nice guy
I ride a Harley Davidson Sportster and it's the only thing I own.
outlaws used to ride HD's - now your in laws ride them........................
Seems depressing to me 😔
HD is going under, Sooner or later 2020, they won't make it, if they don't drop the gawd aweful prices
@@SunnyDlite84 all the RUB's ride Harley's now..its turnin into a status symbol.🙄
lol That is insane. My step dad is a truck driver and he has one. He isn't a criminal either. Just a hard worker.
David Alan Coe and Harley Davidsons forever.
I am a truck driver.and no brother hood any more.old school.old school.yea.
You're right about the Truck drivers. I've been driving 41 years. No respect for anyone anymore. More rear end collisions..
That's right Ohio baby..oh yea..David Allan grew up here. Belmont County!!! USA
he is one of a kind cooked his when he stayed at Wingate in North myrtle beach SC
I started out with a Honda, and I think I'll stick with it
Don't get no realer than MR.COE!! Real Deal Right There...
Love riding my old Norton hi rider with my Harley friends etc (RUBs)

@@robertwagner8596 evo soft tails for ever
When I started getting into it as an older teen / young adult you had to wait for for 6 months or more to get a new bike unless you wanted one of the few that were on the show room floor. They held there value also. Now the market is flooded with dressers that weekend bikers got tired of washing and parking on the drive way on Sunday afternoons. Only a fool or a person with way to much money would buy a brand new one today IMO when you can buy an utra classic or similar with under 40 thousand miles on it for 6 or 7 grand used. I have seen them with well under 30 thousand on them for under 7 grand. that will hold it's value for resale. You can buy it in the winter and ride it for two seasons and sell it the same as you paid for it and it's still a good de
the only thigs that keep me off a harley is ice,sleet, and a heavy snow storm.
Why dont we hear more of these awesome musicians?
Because he is a true Outlaw and the music industry does not like him
I thought I was the only one that had those thoughts, good to know .
Yeah, I earned my Red Wings in Butte Montana in 1978, playing in an outlaw band with Evel Kneivel at the table in front of me. The bandleader soon became the president of the Midwest Motorcycle club, got his Harley franchise as a private repairman, made custom bikes, and eventually started up the most excellent tattoo parlor he now owns & operates. The 883 Harley has a distinguished history, no other motorcycle has had a longer run in the history of civilization. It's been in continuous production since 1957. There's no such thing as a girls bike. I'm looking at a Kawasaki Eliminator 125, because I love the look of it. I picked myself up and walked away from an 80-MPH get-off, and rode 'er home, eat your hearts out roller bearings, I got spun harder than many and still held up, Haha! Sure would love an FXR, though... keep the rubber down, maybe David will let me sit in on lead guitar for a few tunes, if he wants to motor on up to our Sunday jams in Welch, Minnesota, next summer. That's your official invite, David!! You bring the shit, these boys will polish it fer ya!! Cannon River Inn, right across from the tubing facility (drunk chicks in bikinis, oh, the pain, the pain)...All amenities provided except condoms......
randolph patterson red wings, Kawasaki 125 and an FXR? I call bullshit.
When I was stationed at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, Mississippi in '72 & "73, we could rent Kawasaki 90's off-base. That was the first time I'd piloted a motorbike. I sneaked a few extra miles in on a 3-cylinder two-stroke Kawasaki 750 when an inebriated service buddy asked me to ride it back to the air base once. My first wheelie, I didn't crash. The crashing happened after I got my first bike in 1988. I just sold it last week, and don't have a bike for the first time since. I got out of the Air Force in '75 and ended up playing in road bands off & on until about 1985. That's how I ended up in Butte, Montana in the summer of '78. Why would anyone doubt that Evel Kneivel might go to a bar in his hometown? The FXR was Harley's best attempt at a (customizable) cafe racer, but it was something less than perfect. As for the Eliminator 125, I think it looks great, sort of like if someone chopped a minibike. The thing about tiddlers is, you can flog them to within an inch of their life without breaking the speed limit! Maybe I'll actually get one someday. The part about the red wings... uhh, maybe you already know about that. Imagine four young, single musicians travelling out west, feeling like they are going to miss out if they can't get laid....
jeff kersch sportster since 57.
It take more skill to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike
Slow.
The guy is 70 years old. He looks great.
It all started with mtv that changed everything, I think it started with motley crew and cher was the death blow
DAC is my HEEE-ROWW lol. Sad to see him getting on, but also happy for his longevity.
I had a Montgomery Wards scooter.
✨ 🖤 ✨
*DAC is a legend*
If David Allen Coe wants to call a Goldwing a Redwing, you let him call it a Redwing.. he’s fuckin David Allen Coe!!
That Honda redwing 🤣
