@daredevillv Actually if you want to get technical about it. Butch is a Cartersville// Atlanta (Georgia) musician since that is where he originates from. If a talented musician/ song writer/producer offends your musical taste than that is just sad sir.Plus hes been in the music industry for 20 plus years I believe that trumps your 15. Have a great day! :-)
I absolutely love this song. My ex might not have done a lot of wonderful things for me, but one awesome thing he did do was introduce me to Butch's music....
This song and video is pure gold. That is very rare. I am a massive fan, and really hope you will do a UK tour soon! I absolutely love it - it's nice to know that real music still exists. This is my favourite.
Butch, I love you so much. You've helped me through so much and inspire me as both a musician and a person and I can't wait to see you in Detroit again. <33
@daredevillv Dude - nobody's name is "really" Butch, if by "really" you mean "on his birth certificate." People call him that, so it is his name. As far as douchebag and poser, I couldn't disagree more. I don't care what he looks like. He writes and creates good music. The rest is for the record company and the idiots who pay attention to what people look like.
@nlandess If he didn't care what his image was, why the stupid hat? why the tattoos? Image in the recording industry counts. If you don't think it does you're kidding yourself or you are an idiot. which is it?
@daredevillv I never said that image doesn't count "...in the recording industry...", so I don't imagine that your completely fabricated dichotomy ("...kidding yourself or ... an idiot...") applies. What I said was that *I* "...don't care what he looks like..." because he "...writes and creates good music..." I don't think any of the comments you have made on here even refer to his music, just his appearance and some problem you have with nicknames. Calm down, I say, calm down, boy.
@nlandess His music is shitty 80's hair metal ballady crap. he is an 80's/90's burnout still holding on to the dream. He makes subpar music and this video looks like his tweeker roomate shot it and edited it on a laptop. It's crap. sorry. I know all "art" is subjective. But cmon.
@daredevillv Okay, let me just say something here. For four years, I was completely obsessed with Butch. I knew I read every interview I could find and watched every video I could find. I saw him live twice. I met him. Butch Walker has never been anything but exactly who he is. So what, he goes by a different name. So do hundreds of other people. As for his hair and tattoos, who gives a fuck? He isn't trying to be a bad boy. He's never tried to be a bad boy. Butch is actually a very nice guy.
@Autophobiaxx You do realize the complete irony of saying something like "Butch Walker has never been anything but exactly who he is. So what, he goes by a different name."?
Also, you were obsessed with this knob for 4 years? I hope you got a life since then.
Tattoos and hair are PROOF he is trying to be a "bad boy" so people like you can obsess over him when really he has nothing to offer.
@daredevillv It's something people call him. He's referred to himself as both Brad and Butch. A name doesn't define you. It's your personality. Having tattoos and long hair prove nothing. You're just very judgemental, obviously.
@Autophobiaxx Stop kidding yourself. we are ALL judgemental. You judge him to be a real person who you can obsess over. I judge him to be another L.A. douche poser who is creating an image to sell. we all judge everyday. it's human nature.
@daredevillv I judge him to be a real person because I've met him, I've seen him live, and I've watched/read interviews with him and they all lead me to think he is a real person. I'm just saying you shouldn't judge based on appearances.
@Autophobiaxx great. so your judgement and standards for what a "real" person is, are lower than mine. You are easily fooled by image. that's fine. just now you know. I advise to go seak out better music. Google Frank Zappa.
@daredevillv Are you just an arrogant judgmental troll? Or does Butch actually offend you? Do you play music? Do you play anything remotely related to the type of music Butch makes? Cause I think he creates popcraft of pretty high quality. Sure he's not Bach, or Zappa - but no-one is (unless, of course, you *are* Bach, or Zappa). Popcraft, by definition is not high art. But it has its place, and Butch executes it pretty well.
@nlandess Yes I am an arrogant judgmental troll. and yes Butch DOES offend my musical tastes. That is why I have responded. Your standards have to be pretty low if you think this guy is anything more than an L.A. musician trying to keep his dream alive. Now does he make a living off of his music? Maybe. But this guy want the whole dream. The image, the girls, the rock n roll lifestyle.
I play music with a band. and have been playing for 15 years. Maybe that gives me some cred or not.
@daredevillv, I second what @natveangl said and I have never seen him flirting with fans, like most musicians. I've only seen him being nice and standing with them so they can have their photos taken with him. Ever heard of a stage name? Butch Walker is NOT the typical musician that lives the rock n' roll lifestyle. He does make a living on making music, of his own, and for others, and it's because he is really good at it. He would still be just as good if he didn't have tattoos or hair...
@daredevillv tattoos doesnt mean that someone is trying to be bad.. there are doctors and lawyers and even preachers that have tattoos some people get tattoos to mark points in their lives, to remind them of things/ people that they love/ admire. Also 'hair' so all people with 'hair are trying to be bad? thats a pretty general statement i must assume also from this that you are bald.
@natveangl tattoos have become more mainstream in society but certainly not to the extent that some preacher will look like Jesse James' girlfriend. Be realistic. Musicians get tattoos. Everyone from Tommy Lee to Katy Perry to Beyonce have tattoos.
And Butch Walker has the "look" of that kind of rocker. If you can't see that many musicians focus on their style over their substance, Walker included, then you're the target audience for them.

Butch this song made me cry. Although you'll never read this I want to formally say I hate you...because I love you [in a non-creepy way] too much. Although that DID sound really creepy.
your amazing Butch... it's awesome that no matter what stands in your way you have the courage and heart to set it aside and be as amazing and talented as you are....your my favorite musician and will always be.......very good song....
great video. Love this song, though I didn't quite realise it kind of references your house until this video. Hope to see more vids from Sycamore Meadows soon!
