This was after the Q interview that was posted in April 2009 and this video was posted in Aug/2009, I'm going by posted dates if this interview was done before I'm sorry but if the dates are correct than I can see why Bill Maher would kiss this idiots ass, he was probably booked to do the show either before the Q interview or not to long after ?
@Superman679 or they couldn't replace him and Bill had to kiss his ass or risk having a bad show like Jion did or having the douche bag walk out and left with 2/3 of a show since he had 2 other guests on that night
I hope Bill got the message not to mention Billy Bob is an actor. He is a bona fide musician now; you can tell by the serious little goatee he is sporting.
@bboots100 LOL. Why are so many people hating on Billy Bob's music? I've never heard it, but Bill Maher talked about how great it was while everyone else here hates it.
@DiverseLA Look up 'Billy Bob and the Boxmasters' and listen to 'Poor House'. A warning to you though, your ears may never be the same. Sounds like 50s country, but if it was really bad with self-consciously hip lyrics and had an awfully amateurish vocalist. That about covers it.
The number of Perverted and Wicked people attacking the Mormons is a great identifier of how good and true the church is. If not for those wicked agents of evil, I would not have been drawn to the LDS church,, I was so sickened by the decline in morality that I've witnessed since my youth( I'm 40) that I took the time to see why so many are attacking them, I'm happy I did, it changed my life. If you are disturbed by the decline of morality in the world, go to mormon.org or lds.org .
THIS IS THE WORST VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN! INFURIATING! 3298562349562098502651 DISLIKES! NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I SEEN SUCH HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING - oh wait, nothing out of the ordinary happened in this interview and they actually discussed music.
Maher rules man. This interview fuckn blows cbc's Q out of the fuckin water. The fact that billy bob thornton starts a band and plays the music he wants to play and not what the industry wants is good enough for me.
This unimportant piece of disrespect totally let fly that BBT was an actor then had the out and out nerve to MENTION his films. Dude's worse than Hitler. Oh sorry it's Bill Maher, famous American talk host so that's fine, it's only unimportant Canadians or Germans who get the arse wind of this diva's ego tantrums.
I could not agree more. In fact, I'm DISGUSTED by the fact that wearing a tie isn't mandatory BY LAW! ESPECIALLY rock musicians! All rock musicians should be wearing a tie at all time or face at least 5 years of prison!
Bill, you should have just given him a freebie. Come on Bill, get your head out of the asshole's ass. BBT really is an asshole. People people, do not be fooled by BBTs demeanor when on American TV. He knows his audience and cares nothing about anyone else. Why should he. He is not very respected, but he does make money for pretending which is good for him.
Billy Bob is great, who cares if he was an asshole to someone? If you have an ounce of testosterone in your body and character in your soul then you've been there at least once in your life. That interviewer sounded like a condescending worm anyhow
@aaartnaz BBT is an intelligent thoughtful man, a great original actor, and a passionate musician. Even though he had a bad day (at six in the morning) and reacted badly to the host of Q , does not detract from his talents. Anyone can say and do things they may regret.
I hate that it's edited! They left out the part when Thornton basically says that no generation after the 60's has produced any artists! Grow up man! None of the "icons" that they talk about were born in the Baby Boomer Generation!
Why didn't Billy Bob freak out on Maher for mentioning the films he was in prior to the interview? Kind of contradictory, but I guess when you're a douche bag it really doesn't matter.
wow...not too often you see Maher completely bend over and take it willingly...what a bitch...surprised the band didn't cover the theme song from Deliverance while the interview was going on...
No. Mahar blows......long and hard, earnestly and eagerly, with all the passion of a genuine pseudo-intellectual who really, really, REALLY believes he's gonna get to be one of the Elite Masters in BHO's fundamentally changed America. Truly a turd's turd, if EVER there was one.
Shut the fuck up will you. CBC's interviewer shouldn't've mentioned things that were agreed before hand not to be mentioned. So what the fuck is your problem with Billy Bob? He gave that interviewer the deserved treatment for NOT being professional. End of story.
@SmokiSounds Billy Bob is an insecure little snot. Now the world sees it. The interviewer didn't ask any questions about films or Hollywood or acting (that's what the agreement was); he only mentioned it for a second in the intro as a way of saying don't think he puts out CDs just because he's famous, he's been passionate about music his whole life.
@Bigwave2003 thank you for your PERFECT wording, Bigwave!
Exactly, the host of "Q", Jian Ghomeshi, is a former musician himself ("Moxy Früvous") so he understands what it's like to passionate about music and/or lyrics ... and after seeing the Bill Maher interview here, I have respect for Thornton's passion behind HIS music... but Jian was NOT trying to knock down Thornton's passion, quite the opposite, he was trying to let the audience know "hey, this guy is for real" re. music.
Maher's right - they do make great music! I am shocked by how much I love this music - it's surprising. It is kind of a cross between older Dire Straits, The Beatles and Dwight Yoakam. Too bad their behavior on Canadian TV was completely unforgivable! Grow up boys!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
man this guy blows
"we actually play the instruments"
dude i promise you, the so called sell out pop stars of today are very talented singers and musicians
ofc you have people who cant sing without autotune but you have to realize that a lot of the bands back in the day werent all that great at performing live
hey Thorton what are you gonna write about in your songs? How you did that whore Jolie? :D)) Sick pervert, but yes I agree...your movies are funny. Not all of them but some
@wovokanarchy now i thought what you really mean. i thought you meant the reaction of bill maher... but now that i've watched this i realize that a whole bunch of material is missing! sheesh, they must be really desperate.
I hear Billy Bob was so inspired by Bill Maher's interview, that he went home and wrote a new single, titled, 'Suck it up Brown Nose (ain't nothin' like a Beatle)'
It'll probably stink, like every other attempt at music any celebrity makes, but using his millions to buy every copy, Billy will just feign success and keep on making more crap.
Very clever editing. I have the interview in it's original form. All the stuff where Billy Bob talks about how there has been no historically important music made since 1976 has been cut out. The real version really shows him in quite a different light. Changed my opinion of him. He really pretends to know what he's talking about but he's actually totally in the dark. Actually he comes off looking quite foolish. Don't take my word for it try and find the entire interview yourselves.
Billy Bob is a joke. A talentless hobbyist whose profile allows him access to the mass media to promote "his" band. There are far better bands who get so much less exposure.
Piss on the previous three comments. Billy Bob is a genius in his own time, you eballin' bastards!!! He just needs ... i don't know maybe he needs a new agent or a muse or something. Can't yaLL see he's hurtin'!!! ... "Linda , i'm hurtin' linda can't see i'm hurtin' "
How old is this? I saw the whole Canadian debacle (the radio show at AM?). Billy is an asshole, weirdo. Slingblade was the best thing he ever did besides his appearance in The Apostle which was genius. I don't know his music and i'm not that interested. He used to be great on Letterman, very kooky. all his superstitions and OCD stories.
He wasn't being nice, he was kissing his ass out of fear of reprisal...and yes, probably because BBT was an asshole to the radio interviewer. Actually, I think the radio interviewer was being extra nice and kissing BBT's ass too. He should have kicked him the fuck out of the studio.
Okay, I can see your point. I see this in life; people who say someone is so great when they are really a jerk. I had a female boss who was a terror and many of the woman commented about how 'strong' she was and how they 'admired her'----and I was thinking, "she is rude and mean--doesn't care about her staff--threatens people and only cares if she gets paid???"
This was after the Q interview that was posted in April 2009 and this video was posted in Aug/2009, I'm going by posted dates if this interview was done before I'm sorry but if the dates are correct than I can see why Bill Maher would kiss this idiots ass, he was probably booked to do the show either before the Q interview or not to long after ?
