Old Lone Star Beer Commercial

[ktstark22]

What is the song titled - in this commercial?

[Briar5559]

Where is the scene of the dude beating his wife? She is kind of a bitch...

[jgdgr81]

Why is the national beer of Texas taste like piss?

[Fitzcard]

@jgdgr81 Shiner is a much more Flagship of Texas beer than Lonestar. Lonestar is what you drink after three or four Shiners and you arent drinking for the flavor anymore.

[alwaysopen]

Lone Star commercials only existed in the 1960s. The rest are weak attempts.

[diziamonddave]

ive never gotten married from drinikn lonestar. but that shit's gotten me laid!

[lowriderslim]

Why dont you all go to hell and i will stay in texas and drink my lone star beer. For god sakes this is a vintage beer commercial not a politacal debate; just grab a beer you sob's and get to drinking, and remember the damn alamo.

[alwaysopen]

Looking back to my youth in the 70s I remember it was better than a lot of other beers back then. It changed a bit in the 80s but since I no longer imbibe I have no idea what it tastes like now.

I can think of too many brands of beers that have seemingly gone underground or vanished into obscurity. A lot get bought up by the mega breweries - as in the UK - and vanish.

[yashespatel]

thumbs up if you think Texas should be its own country once again

[ZackAttack261]

@yashespatel Texas is the best state in all but how is going to look out for thoughs lesser states. the union needs or else they well end up like the middle east.

like mexico. the only reason why its still on the map is because of us

@yashespatel

Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1869).

[roodeeet]

dont mess with you ill mess around with texas ?? wow youre no dirrent from black rappers you white males, you make me sick, dont fucking talk bad against hiphop when you have the same stuff in your songs but in a lamer context

[baddmaddogg]

@roodeeet It's called having talent, actually singing and playing an instrument. They just talk and yell in rap... you just gotta know how to rhyme good and that's taught in 3rd grad Dr. Suess books.

[tomj67x]

Give me hard work, soft ladies and good friends

[KhmerSerey1]

George W.Bush really chapped my hide man.Obama ain't helping much either and he ain't even from Texas,pass me the rope cowboy,lets hang 'em all.Nobody mess with Texas man,nobody.Especially Lone Star Beer,them sons of bitches left a foul taste in my beer man,taste like horse piss !!!!

[lawyerpaco]

Do you have the other Lone Star commercial that came out around 1987 during the oil bust....The one that goes like:

The carpet baggers packed their bags and left.

The wise men from the East left owing rent.

[dotjoiner1]

@lawyerpaco The 3 spots were shot late '87 and went to air early '88. They were shot around Houston and Sealy with Galveston (to a lesser degree). The visuals over 'The carpetbaggers packed their bags and went' were filmed in Sydney, Australia (I had to get home for Christmas). The singer was a session harmonica player from Los Angeles: Norton Buffalo. I enjoyed working on the commercials and are happy people remember them.

I'll try and post the other spots if you're interested.

[texas40]

@dotjoiner1  It would be great to see the other spots

[dotjoiner1]

@texas40 Hi there, I'll try to find them...it was quite awhile ago and tape (like us) deteriorates. Dotjoiner1

[KhmerSerey1]

George W. Bush is a disgrace to Lone Star beer and the Lone Star state,it's goin to be awhile until i drink this beer again..

[hjshmuel]

@KhmerSerey1 W is like all posers - born elsewhere. He claimed to have gone to high school in Odessa, while in fact, he came here after graduating college to set up one of the only unsuccessful oil investment companies during the boom. Until he became president and bought the ranch in Crawford the only property he owned here was a fishing camp in East TX he admittedly "rarely even visited". His father owned a penthouse @ the Galleria Oaks to avoid his home state income tax. Wot were we thinking?

[johnemler]

@KhmerSerey1 go live somewhere else then

Back in the early 60's I played country music in and around San Antonio and we were sponsored by Lone Star. We wore white western shirts with a big Lone Star patch on the back and one over the left pocket with our name over the other and at the end of each set we'd sing the Lone Star jingle. If we drank beer it had to be Lone star and those in the band who didn't like it would go to the bathroom and put what they did like into an empty Lone Star bottle. HA HA.."NOT ME"!

[skylark68]

Cool story! What were your favorite songs to cover back in those days?

How could anyone NOT like Lone Star??? haha

[fussaone]

Hey thanks for jumpin in...For sure San Antonio Rose,but there were so many songs that I loved to do back then I wouldn't have room to list um all here . Anything by Ray Price,Hank williams,Johnny Cash, Hank Thompson,Jim Reeves and we sure don't wanta forget Bob wills. We also did alot of what we refer to today as oldies but goodies but they weren't oldies then and neither was I. I was only 19 when I put on that first Lone Star Beer patch and made it to 21 without bein caught.. HA HA..

[Orion508]

I sang this song in front of my class in the first grade! Had not seen it since then. Adding it to my favorites!

[cappsoutlaw]

it's actually a good beer. and i've drank over 300 brands or styles of beers

[shinnerbeer]

taste good when they are iced cold but I cant drinkem when they are hot

[200092]

I ordered one on accident when i was at Gruene Hall and enjoyed it. I've had it a few time since then and may be switching for good.

[hjshmuel]

@cappsoutlaw Gotta say it "used to be" a good beer. Started out as Buckhorn, then updated the name after prohibition, like a lot of brands. Went straight to hell in a rusty bucket when it was bought out by G Hileman Brewing based in Illinois. As far as I know, other than microbreweries, the only surviving Texas-brewed beer is Shiner, unless you count the out of state owned beers that have established plants here to save on fuel, like Anheiser Busch and Coors.

0:36 upskirt!

[sethag04]

not a lebaron, its a mustang. also, its a shame theres not too much lone star left aobut lonestar beer.

[gizgam]

oh, yeah. you're right. looks similar. I wonder if horses were really allowed in bars back then.

[nate1868]

@sethag04 not too much lone star left about lone star beer? what do you mean

[lac2low4afathoe]

YES!

[avermillion]

I was stationed at Fort Hood at that exact time. So, that's why I recall this so well. Thanks for the memories Lone Star.

[avermillion]

I sooo remember this commercial. Mid to late 80's for sure.

[gizgam]

I believe I recorded this on VHS in 1988 based on the news I was recording at the time. I love the LeBaron convertible.

[gm1990ss]

1984 or 85?

[Bluebonnett52]

I wish I had one right now...even a Texas Pride would do.

[shinnerbeer]

Is Texas Pride pearl?

[gdog7xyz]

best beer in the world!

[augiedog75]
