Great stuff Bill. It is a funny parody and just like other parody songs, the "twisted guitar playing" makes it interesting. Any chance you could do one for the fans in Tenn? Namely Rocky Top. I don't think there's a metal version of it out yet. That would really test your pickin' skills in a "blue" arena.
There is no disrespect towards anyone. There is sadness that people can't understand the word parody and what that means. That never meant that I didn't like the song. Quite the opposite. It only meant that I did a parody that seems to be winning when compared to those against it. I am a huge fan of Mr. Anderson's and a lover of country music. I am sad that anyone has a problem with it. And for that reason, I think I will pull it down. NOT!!
I dont like it either (in one way) , but in another way its bloody hilarious!!! R.O.T.F.A.L.Y.A.O Roll On The Floor And Laugh Your Arse Off !!!!
If it were real it would be even funnier , Bills face just stays normal as if its normal.
To know that Bill Anderson himself likes it is also brilliant , just shows you what a great guy he is......he sees the humour in it, brilliant that he laughs too.
@pedalman thank you for your seeing the humor in it while riding the fence to keep everyone happy. Are you in politics or just steel guitar? hahaha Keep on pushing those pedals buddy and take care!
@ILOVEBILLSMETAL I hope I wasn't sittng on the fence cos I really like it ,maybe my writing was not getting across what I really meant which was to laugh at those who took it seriously "ruining a classic" .
I have been a pedal steel fan and amateur player for many years and what Pete Drake did on the original recording of this great track is superb , many people thought it was other players and sonny Garish did a lot of Bill Andersons sessions but no this was 100% definitely Pete Drake .
Was it a chimpanzee or a gorilla overdubbing the idiotic CRAP on the electric guitar? Whoever it was, I wish he had his distortion pedal up his butt, but there's probably already one there.
This is a vile distortion of a great song. You should retire to your cave and wither in disgrace for your disrespect to not only the music of the great Bill Anderson but also the memory of a WWII veteran. Shame on you.
I hardly think that this has anything to do with the memory of a WWII veteran. What in the world are you smokin? There's no disrespect. It's not amazing grace or How Great Thou Art. You'd think that I'd painted a mustache on a picture of Jesus Christ. It's a joke. A joke., A parody. But, I guess this generation doesn't have the sense of humor that Mr. Anderson does. He loves it. He laughed his butt off. If he didn't like it, I'd take it down. And THAT'S the truth of it!
Some things you can "parody", some things are best left alone. This is the story of the life and death of a man's son, a death the man feels deeply responsible for. This is not the type of "light entertainment" one makes jokes about. If you ever lost someone truely close to you, you would understand that. Don't lie and say you have because your actions plainly state you have not. I hope you never know the pain expressed in Bill's timeless song.
Some people believe setting cats on fire is fun but I don't see the humor in that either. I guess I'm just not a funny guy. The fact remains this video sucks due to "joke" inserted.
Hardly setting a cat on fire. Find another pass time. This isn't exactly "blasphemy". It's not a "holy" song. AND, Bill did not write it. It's not even his song. It's not even a true story. It's a song some man in Texas wrote to MAKE MONEY. And his family certainly did. From Bill's record of it. It's not a true story. It's a song. One that his family made a lot of money from. Get over it.
@xcaliber69 If I did, I'd spell it correctly Rock N' Roll guitarist, Jimi Hendrix was pretty VERY well known for his distortion version of the STAR SPANGLED BANNER at Woodstock in 69, and you're livid about a country song that I ALSO LOVE done as a parody. Let's weigh this out...The national anthem vs. Golden Guitar. Yep....you're right. I'd be really mad about someone butchering Golden Guitar as a PARODY more so than I would about someone doing the same kind of guitar on our NATIONAL ANTHEM.
Please re-do this song without distortion. It was one of my favorite as a little boy. Please Mr. Bill, get the song on the right way before you leave this world. The org. would be nice. Please,Please,Please This song has been ruin.Thats a FACT....

Someone is messing with this old classic tune by adding their garbage to it.
Remember that the street runs in both directions.
I suspect that there are folks out there that can & will take the shine of some of their noisy metal garbage by doing likewise..
