The Boxmasters Perform "Turn It Over"

[DeconstructingGlenn]

My collage friends and I used to improvise songs after smoking massive amounts of weed. It was fun but we usually didn't have proper equipment so some of us would bang on pots, pans, and poorly tuned pianos.

My point is that our songs often sounded better than this crap...."turn it over, and read it carefully" common...it sounds like a stupid commercial jingle.

[bungoose]

whata lame fucking garbage lol

[tatayki]

they suck

[RHMETAL]

Love how Unknown is playing his main stage Fender!

[dhoosee]

I hate bands that have 90 guitarists on stage. Everything develops into a big mish-mosh at some point.

[pittp91]

@dhoosee there are two bass guitars and two reg electric guitars....

[mrbadexample83]

how can anyone not like this band when it includes Billy Bob Thorton, Alice Cooper's bass player, and the great Unknown Hinson?

[thernuocker2]

why is everyone hatin it i like it its pretty good is just cuz its like the old timey country?

[MrBH911]

simple plan is more worse.

[llamasausage]

@MrBH911 yes

[skinsn8tion]

Crap

[GizmoGuy21]

THE GOOD. Lead guitar, Danny Baker and the drummer.

THE BAD. Everybody else in this band.

THE UGLY. Early Cuyler in a knife fight with Billy Bob Thorton.

[AiaAziz]

My God This Is BAD!!!

[mylesh2000]

This is light years better than that god-awful song, "Angelina" and most of the other BBT songs I have heard.

This song is okay, but the songwriting is trite, as I have heard with all of BBT's songs.

[ratsglass29]

Somebody needs to slap that freaking hick around like Kurt Russell did in Tombstone....this SUCKS

[junkabuttafli05]

the song isn't that bad... but he did get his face slapped off in Tombstone... lmfao!

[adnanteacher]

The Boxmasters aka delusions of grandeur...'TURN IT OFF, before my ears friggin bleed' would have been a better lyric

[carnac449]

Poor

[Eatmybologna]

Its not THAT bad ... I mean I wouldnt listen to it everyday but why all the hate?

[wetwilly0]

It's like he's trying to sound like Tom Petty. I don't see why anyone would wanna do that... Petty's voice sucks. And Danny Baker (AKA Unknown Hinson) is freaking awesome.

[chadmrw]

ahhhh, no wonder Canadians were "a lot more reserved-and- just sittin there" ... HIS MUSIC FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ryanrre45]

hahaha don't quit your day job Billy Bob.

This is just plain embarrassing.

[chiknchokr]

All hail the King Unknown Hinson

[mabhido]

what a great performer and singer billy bob is............lol this is some funny shit

[benstewarthelm]

i listened to this twice and actually like it. it's really good, but none of you would know that the rest of you probabley listen to crap, i mean.... rap.

i give it 5 stars.

[Ryanrre45]

No logic in that.

[Danielmcdnld]

Itd help if he could sing. Must be nice to already be in the public eye cos U can bet that this band would get nowhere if Billy Bob wasn't in it and the thing is hes the least musically talented one outta the lot of them. Wot an ass hole. H's like the bad auditions on pop idol. haha sucks and loves himself too.

[lionguyyy]

Hey....I love this stuff!! It is different from all the same ole crap out there!! I think they have something here!!

[mabhido]

yeah these guys are upsolutely drivng the crowd crazy, they are ripping the stage, great, fantastic performance, great voice of billy bob lol haha

[turkdaddy813]

horrible rather listen to lil wayne live

[DBK4567]

He would have done it better singing it as Carl from Slingblade. "uh hu, I reckon"

[jmarc101]

Generic hillbilly crap. Lead singer has no vocal quality. band is good.

Can't believe nelson choose these flunkies,

[wattscg]

so bad. seriously, cant stop laughing at how HORRIBLE this music is... i want to forget i ever saw this

[P0mt3]

You'll notice, they need two rhythm guitarists. That's just sad.

[vulgarmind]

This is absolute fucking garbage

[gelbot]

lol... I also "had to watch after seeing the QTV blow-up..." What a total piece of shit.

If you are the lead singer of a band, shouldn't you bring one of the following, or a combination thereof...

1) Vocal skills

2) Songwriting prowess

3) Engaging performance / stage presence

BBT shows NONE OF THE ABOVE. Complete and utter garbage. Too bad for the rest of the band, they'd probably be much better without him.

[Reverendwyotech]

That's Shit.

[Nephoric]

Isn't that lead singer an actor? This is obviously a hobby, but maybe it was his first love. Either way, I wouldn't say that to Tom Petty.

[toposheet]

crap sandwich

[terk0iz]

That is just disgusting, a real fucking shame.

[randomrob1968]

Had to look after seeing the QTV interview.

Now I've seen it.

[Hagfish13]

I thought BBT was the drummer. Doesn't matter, they're average at best either way. Heard more vocal harmonies from 3 piece bands. Obviously a "hobby" or he would have hired someone that can sing.

[P0mt3]

BBT is the drummer, but he is also the singer, so they hire a guy to play the drums live.

And of course it's crap. It's Country. What did you expect, real Rock music?

[Seanorman88]

It stinks, it stinks, it stinks.

[careltaylor]

IS THAT BILLY BOB THORNTON?

[EddiePrimm]

i like this

[Alzerock]

Great song!

[Whyrendog]

This isn't the best live vocal but I like the band. They remind me of a lot of classic rock bands.

[riverjackfinn]

how many guitars do they need to make poop sounds? "turn it over, turn it over, read it carefully".... man, that's crap.

gross

[koalinas1]

U SUCK BIG TIME B.B.T. .... all that fuss over this crap music ??? u need your head read u plonker!! u cant sing, u cant play and your music sounds like the dogs going through the trash ! u stink u piece of crap!

[sodx]

Unknown Hinson is all this band ever had going for it. The King shouldn't be stuck in a band like that.

[Mediocrates7]

So that's what the Boxmasters sound like.

Crap lyrics, crap lead vocal, average playing.

Frankly, he sounds like mashed potatoes without the gravy. And why is some other guy playing his drum set?

[hotwlmf]

Must suck to be a professional musician forced to pretend you're in a "band" with--as opposed to playing backup for--a celebrity of minimal musical talent who behaves like an arse because he's bought into that ancient concept that being a musician is "real" and being an actor is not. (Shocking revelation: You can have integrity or be a pretentious t--t in either role.) These guys should commiserate over lunch with Russell Crowe's backup fellows sometime.

[thorrgod]

Wow, he really sucks! I think I'd rather listen to my cat cough up a hairball.

[Hithard177]

The childish banter passing as legitimate comments reflects poorly on each of you - let the guy do his thing and if you don't like it, don't listen!

[Mediocrates7]

Don't worry, we won't. If anyone remembers this band by 2010, I'll be very surprised. Or at least I would be if I cared enough to remember.

[SeymourButtz99]

A band that hops like the Oneders, with a lead vocalist who grimaces like a hostage in public with hemmorhoids and constipation and a sideshow of a guitarists trying to look like Vincent Vega.

Here's a lyric for you.....

"Hang it up, go get fugged, and suck on the Geritol..."

chorus

chorus

[Rightsideup]

Why is Unknown Hinson even bothering with this crap?

[ZeppelinMcKenna]

i think most people get that statement since everyones familiar with the snl skit concerning too much cowbell and the the fact that there is an abundance of guitar in this performance... but maybe youre right... youre so smart and special...

[mojogough]

Bruce WIllis is 1000 times better than this, and he's horrible too.

[bassflyer]

I just saw the video of this song on CMT tonight, first time I've heard the song.

I like it.

Doesn't sound quite as good live IMHO though.

[bassflyer]

I just bought the song off iTunes, not that I'm stickin' up for Ol' Billy, but his vocals are much better in the studio it appears.

[MrBlackjade1717]

this song doesnt make any sense at all! why the hell would you write a love letter upside down? stop smoking crack billy, please. ya know what, if your ass had suddenly burst into flames, and caught you hair on fire, and that melted your brain from the inside of skull and your liquidized brain juice started oozing from your mouth, THAT woulda sounded better than this shit, and it woulda made more sense..... im just saying...

[SeymourButtz99]

He doesn't have any idea what you're saying,, what do you mean, is watching youtube just a hobby? Would you say that to Tom Petty's crack dealing fireman?

[CindyVision]

I never expected his singing voice to sound like that. The Tom Petty comment might make sense - it sounds to me like he's trying to replicate that sound.

[boost321]

might be the worst song ive ever heard.

[assmeyers]

your mom's pussy was loose...but her ass was fine and tight.

[Narzath1]

Your dad's asshole was nice and loose last time i checked, well that is i mean after i shoved a 30 inch dildo up his ass. Also Billy bob thornton is a cockface

[bassflyer]

"Your dad's asshole was nice and loose last time i checked,"

What does THAT have to do with the price of beans?

[mrbadexample83]

Unknown Hinson! What are you doing on TV without your gimmick!

[simonjeste]

I listened to the lyrics Billy Bob was singing.

I don't know what that means. What does that mean?

Would you ask Tom Petty to sing this kind of song?

[craigbondy]

BOOOO!

[tencentpistol1]

This is just fucking garbage. Billy Bob would be better off if the singing was actually shit spewing out of his ass instead of his mouth.

[toobed08]

12 year olds play 5 chord songs better than that. Billy Bob is flat all the way through, the back ups are sharp, and the song is boring as hell. This is as bad as Russell Crowe's pathetic attempt at music. Please spare the general public any more of this hobby Boring-Bob. It belongs in your Hollywood garage.

[jussssig]

lol. bad.

[grandolddrummer]

For what it is, it isn't that bad. I would prefer this greatly to much of the crap that they have on here on a regular basis. But yeah, the vocals were pretty bad.

[flatbouy]

At least Phil Collins practiced singing via backing vocals from BEHIND the drums BEFORE he went out FRONTING. Stick to just drums, Thornton!

[simonjeste]

I think BBT thinks a "front man" of a band just STANDS THERE, in the FRONT of the stage.

And doesn't move. Doesn't smile. Doesn't raise an eyebrow.

If that's true, BBT is full of win in this performance.

[8491352511389]

simonjeste, he THINKS his presence is enough.

[8491352511389]

How this video got 2 stars is hard to believe. The bands not bad, but who's the loser singer? He almost looks like Billy Knob Thorton, but don't mention that to him.

[jademm]

The music is alright. The singing is not.

[endless74]

wow these guys suck ass, Jimmy Kimmel? was this thing a give him the gig thing or else ill have you killed thing, because I would rather have killed myself than let these idiots on the show, if I was Jimmy, or anyone in that band. Take your head out of your ass Billy Bob

[pevainer]

utter shit,  "This band lacks soul, much like cover bands that play in flea markets and swapmeets. " describes it best

[sipedogg316]

holy shit it's Early Kyler!!

[Lucidmike78]

This band lacks soul, much like cover bands that play in flea markets and swapmeets.

[toobed08]

I think you may have upset a lot of flea market cover bands with that comparison. They are a damn sight better than that self obsessed, musically talentless, unoriginal, Boring Bob Thornton.

[jordanzio]

wow what a terrible, been done before, band. and billy bob thinks hes some sort of brooding prima donna creating art. i could have heard this daily living in the 60's

[dh234]

they should have called this song 'turn it off'

[gilly209]

Hey Billy Bob! After hearing about your melt down on the interview, trust me, you don't have the right to have an ego about being a musician. You're not one. Seriousluy dude,.....no vocal talent whatsoever!!

[Chris2550525]

Hey Jimmy, why did you change the Billy Bob interview from this episode to "private"? Too embarrassed to show the world how you kissed his ass?

[jmci48]

Hey Billy Bob - wearing a black suit, a skinny tie and smoking doesn't make you a hip singer/musician. It makes you a poser. YOU are all mashed potatoes and no gravy.

And hey Jimmy Kimmel - kiss butt much?????

[rrr8891]

Generic roots rock. Billy Bob is passable as an actor, but this attempt at music is unoriginal and dull. Oh, you really wanted to be a musician? Nobody fucking cares. Enough with the prima donna bullshit.

[Kale3193]

stick to bad santa

[destroi]

Hey Billy Bob kill yourself you ugly faggot. Your movies and your music suck dick.

[jedbundy]

Yikes!

That was really awful.

BBT claims the Boxmasters to be a fusion of Hillybilly and British Invasion. I didn't hear any of that here (except for the twangy telecaster). This shit is so overly self conscious... not a good place to make art from.

If you are interested in music that incorporates Country and Pop try "The Mavericks" or "The Blue Shadows". Both have plenty to offer on YouTube.

[PubicWi6]

Whooo Hoooo .... that stunk! lol

[lerb21]

I've heard Billy Bob sing live. When I saw him, he didn't miss a note. I don't what's going on with his pitch here, but when I saw him and when I listen to his studio stuff he's fine. The band is excellent too.

[zao0103]

3 guitars? metal!

[yourweedsuckss]

dude. awful. every single comment says this shit sucks... does ANYBODY like this band at all? hahahah... fuck

[metridium]

Silly bugger is tone deaf. Clear case of "Emperor's New Clothes" Hell will freeze over before I ever watch this pussy Kimmel again.

[xraven777x]

"Turn it Over" - ya right in a manure pile!

[Jitpring]

He needs to take some lessons from David Bowie on how to be a frontman.

[MXSLICK]

booooooooo

[Helldweller]

what a load of shart!!!

[sprucebuddhas]

Is that Unknown Hinson on gtr?

[joegro2345]

billy bobs a retard and this is crap

[hollyzone]

the vocals could use some work, at least need to use another key.

[Attarraxxia]

Jesus, with all the ego involved I would've thought it'd at worst be shit and at best be somewhat progressive bluegrass or something, but this is worse than shit.

I'm gonna crank some moxy fruvuus and forget i ever heard this.

[fenderman0463]

C'mon...it's not that bad...it's real music played by real musicians...not pre-programmed crap that's coming out of Nashville these days that passes for country music...

[QueenElysabeth]

Wow they suck worse then I had anticipated! He is so delusional! He apparently uses his fame to score that cocaine that cause this outrageous self denial.

[LJsmoothe]

Billy Bob cant sing at all... The guys in the band though are all awesome musicians, and I am sure Billy Bob pays them well to back him up. The man playing the black tele can blow Billy Bob off the stage. Search Unknown Hinson, he puts on an awesome show, and is to good to be associated with Billy Bob.

[BertConvy2008]

This is garbage.

[steve51704000]

I'll be right back...I have a big greasy turd cookin' in the kitchen, and I need to go TURN IT OVER!

[lp2xxx]

Rofl best comment EVER

[ZeppelinMcKenna]

i am also laughing hysterically.... almost in tears at 8 am

[johnstonbrett05]

I bet most people dont even know what this song is about.

[worminator82]

who cares? the music is terrible. the meaning behind cant change that. It's gonna suck no matter what with these yahoos playing. YOU SUCK BILLY BOB!!!!!!!!!!

[kaptainjoker]

i'd rather stick pencils in my ears than listen to this garbage..you suck billy bob

[Griff666]

UTTER bollocks. I hope he gets hit by a very fast truck very soon.

[DOORHAM]

keep your day job

[jmk1a1]

Holy Shit!! They suck ass! Billiy-bob is trying to sound like Bob Dylan. This is brutal

[NurseDischord]

Disappointingly amateurish.

[moorchehsavari]

what a hack

[sleepingbear0]

nasty nasty nasty

[brentkramer80]

Wow, much worse than I expected

[worminator82]

the most cheesy lyrics in the history of music.

[mattx9119]

the king lost his charttoppin chops!

[KCVROCKS2008]

these guys were fun in concert, plus billy bob was VERY friendly w/ fans. he signed a ton of autographs during the second set when the band jammed out for a few....he's a cool guy, very down to earth. i saw them in grand rapids last year.

[Griff666]

And yet, he's still a total cunt.

[GRober1050]

Wow, that singer, whoever he is, has got some range!

[ufohighlights71]

Hey isn't that the King of Country Western Troubadours Unknown Hinson?

[Promethesis]

You know it, ALL HAIL THE KING!!!

[timhoisme]

yes indeed!

[wielerj]

wow

[winxniw]

BBT is not looking good here, actually.... he looks like a fuggin odb.

[beckett11]

That's the depth they get out of 3 guitarists??? They need one more guitarist and a new singer. There is soooooo many better bands that deserve that stage.

[8491352511389]

Billy's singing is far from excellent. Personally, I like hearing singers who don't constantly miss notes. I noticed he can sure hit them on ALL of his recordings. Kudos to the recording engineer.

[baybo272]

excellent ! Nice job!  People need to get their heads outta their asses and realize this is good stuff!

[frameoff350]

Damn right, you got to be a damn musician to play Country Western music!!!! Tell it Kang!!

[dlbert2000]

god this is embarassing....

[eriphoor]

The Band is great....The singer sucks!

[BTTHEBAND]

Fucking horrible. Billy Bob can't sing for shit...

[jmulchino]

Bring on Leonard Nimoy!!

[wankzappa]

good telecaster tones but shit vocals and a shit song overall

[NickAden13]

I see Unknown Hinson!

[caper7000]

billy bob sucks!

[washingtonvic]

quit hating,this song is great o.k.!!

[johnstonbrett05]

I think that they were great!!! he sounds so cool!! im 17 and I think they were cool, whats worng is all of you teenage brats and punks out there that all yall do is lesson to shit and you dont know what is really good!!

-Brett-

[GRober1050]

If you're 17 and are spelling "listen" as "lesson" I see a loooooong high school career (or difficult adulthood) for you.

[Griff666]

You mean long? Prick. Also your grammar is appauling. "and are spelling"? it's just "and spelling". Please at least consider killing yourself.

[TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Lol, what irony. Can't spell ''appalling'' properly but that doesn't stop him from patronizing others.

[Griff666]

I am annonymous i do not forgive and i do not care. TROLL TILL THE END! YOU CUNT.

[Griff666]

If you are saying that this is good. You might need to fuck off and die.

Thanks Brett, your input was brilliant.

[JennylovesKinivia]

The only reasons people are bashing them, is because of the interview, I know it, don't deny it fuckers.

[kbboy60]

It definately doesn't help, but truthfully the song is just dull and amateurish enough it wouldn't be on a national show if it wasn't for the guy singing and his former career

[78hiwatts]

hahaha he sounds hilariously fucking pathetic, who'd a guessed that.

[focsygranpa]

they were cool but music from the 1950's isn't really going to make it in this time period.

[jhin2989]

i would expect bbt not to have much stage presence, but how did he ever find 5 other guys as uninteresting to watch as he is?

[RobertHolden23]

Is Billy acting up again by missing all those notes or does he just suck? Band sounds alright but far from anything special.

[ThePaperboys]

Are the suits and ties meant to distract us from how much they SUCK?!

[hohohee1]

]i like the first few seconds, the background his voice is shit

[foxbusa]

Not bad.

[jsbud333]

sounded great! love it!

[JonathanMarrero]

That was absolutely horrible.

[terfred]

The Box Masters REALLY SUCK. BILLY BOB COULD NOT HOLD A TUNE IN A BUCKET. THEY REALLY ARE TERRIBLE !!!!

[dutmon]

Three guitarists and they still sound like a junior-high band.

[xwesx1978]

Turn it over? Yeah turn over the mic to Unknown.

He'll make the womerns scream...

It's not a bad song musically.

[jimmyjamescanada1]

the band needs a new singer billy bob cant sing or carry a note, For a guy who talks a lot of shit her really really sucks

[smagicpie]

Dude, this seriously sucks SO BAD. Billy Bob needs to shut up and let Unknown Hinson sing this lame song for him.

[thesinginghon]

This song is LAME.

Only good thing about the clip is the fact that UNKNOWN HINSON is in the band.

ALL HAIL THE KING OF COUNTRY WESTERN TROUBADOURS!!

[clemfoley]

Billy Bob could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. What a turd.

[brigantine1212]

Thornton is laughable to be sure. I have never seen a lead singer with less stage presence. Billy Bob looked about as charismatic as a three-toed sloth in hibernation. And the band? Please.....bunch of cheeseball wankers who would be flipping burgers somewhere if they didn't have Billy Bob Thornton involved.

[twny]

Thanks for posting this video! I am actually a fan of the Boxmasters! Awaiting the cd!

[steve51704000]

You would think a guy who struts around like he"s the shit would at least listen to the pitch and hit each note correctly instead of sounding like Bob Dylan with a beer bottle shoved up his ring!
