[rbentful]

on drugs and impatient...that's all

box master dorks

[699backstab]

You look like a nigger. You talk like a nigger. You dress like a nigger. Is it any wonder why the term nigger remains alive with racists. Straighten your hat faggot. Stop talking nigger Ebonics. Dress normal. Earn respect. Stop acting kid and maybe you can turn into something good.

[sassylatina808]

To me it seemed like he was bothered by being there. He just didn't want to do the interview @ all. Either way he should have not acted in such a rude manner. Why would he be disturbed if someone was to call him an ocar-winnining actor? Isin't that something to b PROUD of?

[DrinkThunderbird]

He ain't even GOOD at his hobby! At least my model airplanes fly!

[wubblesful]

Golly gee, this isn't about me, it's about the band, now everyone pay attention to ME, ME, ME, ME!

[sturmraist50]

He was just being a whiny crybaby. There was no way he was sick. So he's a liar too.

[OralAgreement69]

it UNDERMINES the music if there is a mention of his amazing acting and writing abilities. its another way of saying "this is billy bob thornton , he is a great actor, but he's here to talk about his HOBBY" it , flat out, doesnt need to be mentioned at all. there is no other way to see it, especially since HE MADE IT CLEAR TO THE PRODUCER NOT TO MENTION IT !!! what more do you want??

[wubblesful]

@OralAgreement69

If the band was better, they could stand on their own without fear of being overshadowed by BBT acting career. Pretty self indulgent behavior from my point of view. The interviewer made the briefest of comments, hardly noticeable until BBT decided it was all about him and took the focus off the band and put it totally on himself for the rest of the interview by acting like a fool and a whiny baby. Pretty irrational behavior.

[Jethromcsheepherder]

@OralAgreement69 what more do we want? some class. He had none.

[georgianbents]

Thornton is a moron. Even his band mates were embarrassed during the interview. Willie Nelson probably kicked Thornton's stupid ass off the tour, and that's why they went home. "Cold" my ass . .

[cfcreative1]

The CBC interviewer had agreed not to talk about BBs acting career. Then introduced him as an actor on the radio show. Most people would have been upset.

I would rather listen to the Boxmasters over Tom Petty anyday.

[billyvassi]

@cfcreative1 what a fucking joke. Assholes like Billy Bob need to start showing some humility and appreciation towards the blessing and magnitude of having a successful career. You begin to come across as delusion when thinking anyone owes him a code of silence on achievements in your life, you are a sum of all your parts and you need to reference a true musician Mr David Grohl.To see one can reference, accept and revere his past at the same time forging his own mark on music and art

arguements?

[The72koenig]

@cfcreative1 SORRY BUT THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT, YOU ARE DOUCHING IT UP JUST LIKE BILLY BOB!!!

[flynnzer2010]

 i would never subscribe to this twat

[flynnzer2010]

I hate this fuckin idiot with the mp3 /mp4 shut up no one cares !

[piehole23]

When an interviewee puts conditions on his appearance, they have to be respected. And guess, what, Jian? People would have known who Billy Bob Thornton is without a breath about movie careers. They hardly need that so-called "context." But the real duffus here is the producer -- and the countless Canadians whose real gripe is being called mashed potatoes without the gravy. Imagine if he'd dissed Tim Horton's, EH?!

[goodgrad]

@piehole23 you nailed it. The show operated with no integity and then Jian made excuses about it and self justified not doing what he promised the guest he would do. So few people get this. Glad you said what you said.

[ricjoiner]

Dude ain't sick, hes just a DICK!!!

[Twentysixbillion]

you crack head stop making sh*t videos

[Kalumnu]

He should change his name to Billie Jean. He is a hissy-fit champ!

[Landotter1]

What a jack-ass. No reason for that outburst. So, what's yoiur name? I don't know what you mean. Can I play with my King Kong now? I like them french fried putaters, ummmm-hummmm. Even the other band member wanted to crawl under the table. This band ain't lastin' long.

[007CONROY]

@Landotter1

You weren't there, Landotter1. I was there. There was NO outburst. I'm a band member and I was trying like HELL not to laugh at how funny (Yes, funny) it was.

BBT does this all the time with interviewers, djs and other sharks looking for blood. It's just showbiz and maybe you shouldn't raise you blood pressure so much. I have lots of friends in Canada and they are just as amused as I am.

PEACE

[Landotter1]

@007CONROY Well-sir, you may be right but I ain't the only one saying such so can't everybody be wrong. However, If I need be corrected, I stand corrected. Double however. Sling Blade has always been and will always be in my top 5 favorite movies. BBT was fantastic in this movie. Enjoyed pushing tin too.... later.

[tynertyner]

This guy is a fabrication. If his staff tell him he's above the audience, he buys it.

One of the most arrogant, self absorbed fools around. O yes, nice band mates to cover your weakness.

[VALMARIESASK]

We all need a psychiatrist sometime!

[scrivchen]

go billy bob!!! lololololololol

[craverave]

DICK!

[007CONROY]

@craverave

Hello. I was there Yes RIGHT THERE in the studio.

You weren't, DICK! Lighten up...

[craverave]

@007CONROY your right watched a few times after seen him on tv saying he does it all the time yup show bizz...but as for you calling me a DICK! hmmmm

Nice really nice!!!

[craverave]

@007CONROY mmm hmmmm luv dem taders !!!!

[MrFreedomrequired]

it wasnt flu it was EGO!

[Dinny67]

THATS WHAT ITS LIKE WHEN SHIT HAPPENS AND YOUR ALL GOOSED UP AND ON A BUZZ ABOUT SOMETHING AND OTHERS GO OFF ON A TANGENT ITS ROCK N ROLL SUICIDE MAN!!

[artistdancing]

Personally i think during that interview billy Bob was experiencing some manic episodes, may have been hearing voices...i have been there,,,so i can pretty much relate. I think when he goes into that comic book sheit, well it just got me thinking....he's kinda in another world...yeah, i have sooo been there.

I feel for the guy, even though it appears he was bein' just a huge jerk~ besides we all know he acts...jeeze. I love him as an actor....maybe he wants us to forgettaboutit? hehe

;~})

[nolaplum]

You gotta love Billy Bob!

[Breaudy]

eh billy bob , life lesson , you can run but ya can't hide from memories , lies and now youTube , lol , thanks Q crew for the upload , thanks billy bob for not owning the copyright , lol , LouZahhhh !

[MikeCK1969]

Yeah right the guy had the flu yet you see him smoking. I guess Billy is truly stupid. :P

[MrBigwong]

Kind of reminds me of when Michael Jordan tried to play minor league baseball -- except MJ wasn't an asshole.

[CactassDupree]

Before Billy went on he made it clear not to discuss any of his other accomplishments. He want to only have The Boxmasters recognized. Out of respect to the other members of the band. The dude totally goofed the intro and ruine the intire interview. peace

[MarulamaDM]

So you're fine with bullshit producers dictating the content of a totally harmless music interview? Wow...that's so rock n' roll. Power to the corporation!

[russiandoeboi]

no one one made him feel stupid. he's insecure to the point of missing every chance to speak his mind and say what HE has to say. billy bob blew it.

[CleverDjembe]

FUCK YOU

[feekie]

I watched the entire interview on another clip, and I don't think this was a publicity stunt. BBT is a great actor, so if he was intentionally acting, he would have done a much better job. He acted like he wasn't "all there." He just seemed weird and spaced out, but he wasn't weird in an entertaining way. I don't dislike BBT. He doesn't have any musical talent, but his band members do, especially Danny Baker who is actually Unknown Hinson.

[gregweir]

Why can't people see this as the publicity stunt that it is. I and many others would never have heard BBT's band without this bit of acting. Too bad his band isn't any good.

[Deathrattle100]

They say it makes you feel dumber for watching it, but I think I walked away feeling a little smarter than both of the people in this interview?

[bademoxy]

watch the original Entire video, not just doctored clips-looks to me like maybe they set him up and provoked him . everybody knows he ain't a real singer, it's just a hobby. his acting is like dustin hoffman good. wouldn't have killed the hosts to be cool and polite out of self respect .

look at how bad was elvis's acting,but still did movies without being dissed.

bros handed nobel peace prizes now just 'cause they up from the hood. but i guess we can't even humor billy bob for 15 minutes .

[andruh99]

I have watched the entire interview and the only tie-in to his Hollywood past was a brief introduction.

Then BBT seemingly sits and stews about it until he decides to be a dick about it, half way through the interview.

Jian WAS cool and polite to the very end!

[laurendalt17]

I think ths interview gets more play than the boxmaster's music !

[WildernessGuyBC]

Your absolutely dead on! There music phukin sux, and this interview will be all they are remembered for!

[TIPPMANN1101]

billy bob asked before hand to not talk about his acting during the interveiw. The interveiw made him feel stupid, he made the interveiwer stupid

[Zombiefruit]

No, not at all.

[suchanjv]

I like this guy, good opinions on many topics.

[ctrewire]

feel sorry for the rest of the guys in the band that don't have all his money to fall back on.

[pokerfreak12]

if he is mentally ill we should be compassionate, maybe he doesnt want people to know.
