The Steel Guitar Forum

Whats all the fuss over Toby Kieth? Aparently he wanted to be different he was...Someone has to take over where Garth Brooks left off otherwise where would country music be?..(Whats that flush?) It would just revert back to the old stuff no producer wants to record and I would have nothing to talk about...Wouldn't that be great? ...Craig when the Rolling Stones carry a steel they will become Grand ole Opry er Grand New Opry members...O me,OOOO Me.

Joe, I guess that means they could be members because Ronnie Wood plays steel guitar, and an Emmons no less.

I Just knew the Rolling Stones were Country.By todays standards they could make the move to Nashville as long as the Steel didn't dominate their music.

Hey everyone, to todays country standards, Lynyrd Sknyrd,Molly Hatchet and 38 Special would be the top draws in country if they were to come out right now. To me they sound just like what Travis Tritt and Marty Stuart are putting out, SOUTHERN ROCK<<<<. Not bad, just not Country<<<<<<<<<.

Red,

Go buy a Marty Stuart Album.

He was playing the stage of the Ryman with Lester Flatt before some of these so called 'country' artists could talk let alone act in a video.

He has forgot about more country trivia and experiences than many of us will experience in a hundred lives.

He was instrumental in getting the Country Music Hall of Fame up to strength as he owns most prized C/W items that are not housed there.

Marty Stuart IS Country...if your ears can't help you out with that then I don't know what!

It is amazing that you even put him in a class with Molly Hatchet and Travis Tritt.

No offense but you need more research my friend.

Thanks for my $.02

<SMALL>when the Rolling Stones carry a steel they will become Grand ole Opry</SMALL>

Listen to "The Girl With the Far Away Eyes" and tell me that's not country.

OK Chas You heard it from me.It's Country But what Country you tell me...Sounds like the Afghanistan Moron Choir. .Maybe now they will be inducted to the CMA HOF. .And in the future maybe they'll want Brad Paisleys Tee shirt too so they can hang it on display in their collection of artist attire. YGTBSM. Hey guy1945 what's your hole name?

Mr Harr,
Just because Marty Stuart has forgotten more about country music than any of us will ever know or Has anything to do with the hall of fame does not mean that he plays "country" music as it seems to be defined here on the forum. I agree that SOME of his stuff does lead to a more COUNTRYFIED type of southern rock. I also agree that he has put out some great traditional country. The fact is that Marty is a very good singer and musician. Being grouped with Tritt and Molly Hachet is not necessarily a bad thing. They too are good musicians.

Joe,
I gotta go along w/ you on this one. Clothes make (at least) half the artist. Porter Wagoner,Faron Young,Buck Owens,& even Tommy Overstreet,had the right idea. None of us ever appeared on stage w/ a tee shirt & jeans. When we took a break,no one ever mistook us for part of the crowd. I don't think anybody in the audience,at the awards show,was wearing a tee shirt & jeans. If I wanna see a singer wearing a tee shirt & jeans,I'll go down to one of the bars on "lowest" Broadway.

Smiley exactly my point.... Paisley is outstanding in his field...He shouldn't look like he just got done working in one.

<SMALL>Who was the Dobro player with Leann Womack and Sara Evans? I thought he was great.</SMALL>

That was Chad Jeffers. He used to play for The Wilkinsons before he quit to be a stock-broker.

I understand that his band, The Pinmonkeys, may have some sort of record deal in the works. Though I think the name is being dumped.

I don't think most of you would like their music. But there's a few sound clips at their site:

Maybe Brad just got off his "day-gig' at the gas station,& didn't have time to go home & change clothes.

.....instead of the gas station, Brad probably just hasn't gotten completely away from the way he and the other students dressed over at Nashville's Belmont University Music Business School where he, Trisha and LeeAnn went to school! www.belmont.edu/cob/mb/

Yesterday on the radio I heard the Brad Paisley was voted onto the list of the "10 sexiest people on earth".
He's in line behind Smiley though, of course

p.s. Don't we have to admit that if an artist followed the opinions of the steel guitar forum (including mine) on matters of musical taste, dress, etc, that they would be a spectacular failure ?

Nothing can top Sammy Kershaw selling his sweat in a bottle. Anyways, white t-shirts don't bother me. Hasn't Clint Black done the white t-shirt thing? Wasn't it the diet coke guy that started it?(in recent years).

At least Brads part of the show was live, and he did the only shuffle that I heard, and does the shirt realy matter. He most likely done it to get attention, and it looks likt it worked.

Everyone's gone on and on about Brad's T shirt. Any one fair enough to take on Alan for wearing a pair of jeans with holes in the knee?

Admit it, you don't like Brad's music..so why not leave it at that.

I liked the show myself. George Strait's new song I really like. I liked Alan Jackson doing his "Where Were You", I enjoyed the number the Dixie Chicks did...and Jerry Douglas was outstanding on the dobro.

My wife has 51% of the vote around here, and she says Brad should keep the white T Shirt.

RE: Jeff from a couple of posts down. Anyway, you mean what I know!

I personaly think Brad Paisley is the best thing to come along for Country music since Alan Jackson.The T shirt didn't impress me at all.
