This is so grand! you'll never see somethin' like this on any fuckin' european TV channel. Thank God for Youtube, and all of you uploaders - Life is good:-)
I agree with what is said about all the REDNECKS! All the Hank Williams are LEGENDS and they are admired for keeping the good old Hank Williams (Family Tradition) Going! My dad sang Hank's songs, and so do I! So FUCK OFF!
It is good that he is keepin the tradition of his grandfather... " A man picked up a monkey wrench and wham... chainged my tune"... Half the songerwriters today can't put a line togeathers like that.
I think @GavDuggan1983 got a point. If we were real good at something, we don't need to brag it to everyone. Let other people judge us. And that include...getting wasted.
P/S : Hank III is my top idol in neotraditional country. I always want to cover his song and play it in front many peoples (FYI, in Malaysia, there are no people playing country music and we are the first try to establish it). But, the majority of us are Muslim. I hope you guys understand what I'm tring to say; the lyrics.
love the fiddle solo, it gives ya a chill,, friggin country music should still sound like this , not the "" Garbage !!!! that their putting out now, i saw hank 3 about 2 years ago in New Jersey,, awesome show !!
I wanted to fix his hat through the entire video.... :O) Love it when Shelton does this song...he also did it at the Opry with Joe Buck. BTW, very cool vintage microphone that he's using. Anyone have a clue as to what it is?
Hank SR- Good ol' fashion Country (not the mainstream bullshit), Hank JR- His own style of good fucking drinking music with the boys, & Hank III with the best rockabilly i've ever heard. Got any shit to say about the Hanks. GO FUCK OFF YOU LITTLE FAKE PUSSES .
Everyone calm down! The man is just paying tribute to his granddad. He can't go fishing or have a conversation with him so he connects with him through song. It's a wonderful thing. "He needs to work on his singing." Dummies, he ain't Hank Williams! He's Hank Williams III! A completely different person! As Sean Connery said to Harrison Ford in "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade"....."Let it go."
all yall ppl who like taylor swift jason aldean an blake shelton need to watch this. this is real country not that fake pop country shit yall listen to
dude. Shelton's music is a prime example of what country music should sound like. In this video as well as in his original songs. If you don't like it then fuck off and go listen to your fake ass dick suck rascal flatts bullshit. He is just proving that you don't have to be a slave to some machine in order to make a name for yourself. I think its great and I love supporting this kind of music.
I love Hank 3. His songs are a lot more than just about getting fucked up and partying. He sings and plays with real emotion. Candidate for suicide is some what about his molestation by an Uncle when he was 8. Pretty serious shit and he is brave to put it out there. He really gives his all....so if you don't like it, go somewhere else and quit looking him up on youtube!
@garryreid69, Agreed. The fiddle solo is nearly idientical to the original. It's crazy how much 3 is a spitting image of Sr., both physical and vocal. Thanks for these uploads Gigny. They sound great.
To those that think that Hank just sings about getting messed up and being crazy, have you listened to One Horse Town, Number 5, Candidate For Suicide, Louisiana Stripes, Walking With Sorrow, and a whole lot more? Yeah he sings about getting messed up, don't you on the weekends have some beer, some shots, something?! Hank III songwriting really covers the emotions of everyday life and I don't think anyone will ever take that away from him. At least not in my eyes. Thanks for the music Shelton!
I agree with gavduggan1983 110%, alot hank 3 fans comment that he's true country or whatever but he's created his own genre called hellbilly or whatever you wanna call it. all the cussing and screaming only takes away from it, and yes his music isn't getting mature either. what happened to good ol basic country music? if hank 3 is, the true country music with all his cussing and screaming or whatever, then what is Hank SR?
@Fastfeetsam agreed, but music is more like a child than a song to it's creator, so you have to at least respect hom for doing it his way, regardless of anyone's opinion.
@SB2132 im trying to get hank 2 out of my head but its just stuck there like the image you got walking in on grandma and grandpa making love i just cant get it out
Hank III's a good country writer, he should stick to country stuff instead of the other stuff he does. Hes talented but needs to grow up and write more mature lyrics, if I hear another Hank III song about how wild he is and how much drugs he does and what a badass he is, I think Ill cry. Real rebels like Cash and Waylon etc never felt the need to push it on everyone.
@GavDuggan1983 Have you ever been to one of Shelton's shows? Ever hung out with after, talked to him face to face? He is wild and a badass, all while being a respectable man. If you dont like what he sings about why listen to it?
I do like what he sings about!Hes wrote some top songs.I just cant take much more of 'Im wild, Im a rebel, Im getting drunk and fucked up' etc, Im bored of it. Hes not a young man anymore, who does he think that impresses? He sounds like a teenage boy trying to sound cool.He has lots of ability and shows it through songs like 'Candidate for suicide' and '5 shots of whiskey' etc. I dont mind songs about wildness but not practically every song! Sounds harsh cos I do love his sound and music!
@GavDuggan1983 people going to hate on ur comment. but the thing is that he is a rebel so he can do what the fuck he wants. so just shut the fuck up if you dont like his music find someone else to listen to
@Danisanoob13 I do like his music, I have all his albums but that doesnt mean I have to love everything about him. My point is that REAL rebels (Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings etc) dont sing about how much of a rebel they are, they dont need to! If you think continous songs about 'getting drunk and fucked up' are cool, then you need to grow up. Its so contrived its embarrassing. Dont worry, I dont expect you to know what 'contrived' means, you dont seem the brightest bulb in the box
I think hank needs to grow up and stop singing about how 'wild' and 'fucked up' he is. 14 yr old boys may think this is cool but adults dont. Its getting boring
@GavDuggan1983- The awsome thing about it is that your don't have to listen to him. If you don't like it then go some fuckin where else and listen to something you do like. Hank III does what he wants to do and that's why people like him so stop putting stupid post on this video.
@rebelbornrebelbread I listen to him because I do like him, he just frustrates me sometimes. If you cant understand that you can like an artist but not like everything they do then I give up haha
@GavDuggan1983- The awsome thing about it is that you don't have to listen to him. If you don't like it then go some fuckin where else and stop posting on Hanks videos. Hank III does what he wants to do and that's why people like him so stop putting stupid post on this video.
@GavDuggan1983 Shut the fuck up, what do you know about real rebels? Look at yourself, you are youtuber giving Hank III advice about his style. ahahahahahah.
@donlonm ya no shit im sure 3 got his thing down fine this from a real rebel im a true social anarchest im always fighting the system for change and to stop "mainstream" from taking over REBEL VIOLENT AND HARD ITS TIME TO TAKE OVER sorry got excited lol lol
@oldschoolpunkchris1 Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? "This is from a real rebel, I'm a true social anarchist....and to stop mainstream from taking over." I think the first step become a social anarchist and to stop the mainstream is to get off your computer. Your computer promotes being social and since it's advertised and it's run by big companies, it's mainstream as well. Hank III is great though, seen him plenty of times..
Thanks For Posting!!! I Missed This & Wanted To See It So Bad Thanks To You I Did. I Love Hank 3 I Don't Think He Gets The Recognition He Deserves Hes A Great Singer, Songwriter, Musician. Hes Carrying The Torch For Traditional Country Music!!! He Aint Jumped On The Nashville BandWagon ,He Plays To The Beat Of His Own Drum! Hell Get To Where They Can't Keep Ignoring Him Just Like Hank Sr, & Hank Jr!!! Look Out Nashville Hank 3s Here!!!
@clean3 How can you say he doesnt trade off his grandfathers name when he calls himself Hank Williams iii. when his real name is Shelton Williams?!? Im a fan of his most of the time, but you cant say he doesnt use his grandfathers name because he obviously does.
@GavDuggan1983 Actually, Hank Sr.'s birth name was "Hiram King Williams". "Hank" was his nickname. Hank iii's middle name is "Hank". So in all actuality, he has a more natural right to call himself "Hank" than his grandpa did. I'm sure growing up, before he even thought about making records, he was called Hank by most of his friends and family.
@chasewendleham Im more than aware than Hank sr was called Hiram, but he was still the original Hank Williams. Im a fan of Hank III most of the time (think he needs to grow up a little), I have all his albums, I just think that you cant say he doesnt trade on his grandfathers name because he clearly does. He's not Shelton the 1st, hes Hank the 3rd!!!
