billy bob thorton & the boxmasters 'original messed up kid'

[henrikd59]

Crap...

[NoGuyComesClose]

This isnt even decent campfire music??

[tynertyner]

Is the band embarrassed by this? As a backup player, you try to be supportive, but this guy doesn't give out anything to work with. Vanity project gone way wrong..

[lumpher]

i see this as a trend. he drowns out the singing with the music. hmmm....

[acupunk74]

This is a cover of a song by the legendary British band Mott the Hoople, from their first album.

[JustinStolle]

The "mod" suits aren't working. They look like they're chaperons at a high school prom. For someone with so much time in front of a camera, "Bud" sure has zero chemistry in front of a live audience.

[BertConvy2008]

Look! Billy Bob and his pets on stage!

[QueenElysabeth]

They pay to play...its a Los angeles thing, but that's also how they must do it over there! Who would pay to see them?they cannot sell his albumns as it is!!

[comelunch103]

we love boxmasters in MEXICO!!!!

billy is the king!!!

[phallius]

Truly awful!

[connies3699]

Well I'm just not impressed with this group. I'm not trying to be nasty, but I can't understand the words to the song, or what it's about. I think the background music drowns out the vocals, I think he should stick to movies. It might also help not to be a jackass to people. That would be my advice.

[TiborZutron]

I wish Russel Crowe and BillyBob's bands would tour together. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that Satan would rise from hell and usher in the Apocalypse and the universe would collapse in on its self if those two bands did play in the same location at the same time.

[josmom9407]

@TiborZutron | Oh, my! LMFAO! Too funny!

So awful it's actually kind of good--in a strange, twisted sort of way. /grin/

[KnqsX]

Never heard of these guys 'til recently, though I think I've seen that singer somewhere before. I don't know why but he reminds me of Santa Claus for some reason.

[onefodderunit]

The singer looks familiar?

Do you spend a lot of time in detox?

[electricfeline]

Hey, isn't the singer that actor guy?

[infinitystar]

dont tell him that cause he wont answer any of your questions lol

[snappyware1]

Isnt he that actor/screenplay writer??

I think he was nominated for an oscar.

I guess money can really make anything happen!

[meanfidler]

Totally unoriginal and unexciting in every way.

[TOstevo]

All that ego for this? Sounds like stock music to me.

[LitterboxDiorama]

Lately the only comments left on any of the Boxmasters videos are all negative and left by Canadians.......well, we all know why the Canadians dislike them, my question is why the Americans never heard of them or don't care to leave neither bad or good comments LOL

[bobf43ca]

The band members seem classy, to bad they have to put up with Mr. Mis-guided Ego (aka,BBT). Band members have the flu?????? yeaaaaa, right.

[tasinda]

They suck

[just4you2see2009]

Billy Bob is a piece of shit.

He's a no talent asshole.

[sansdancer]

I never knew Barney Fife was in a band.

[djdrew77]

He would sound better as SLINGBLADE

[bigbluesongs]

Absolute shite

[bosszeroboss]

Billy should learn how to sing.

[iomega]

And he compares himself to Tom Petty. What a crock.

[katydai]

and they get paid for THIS?

[dcronkite1]

Amateur country music.

[jumpjumpmario]

This IS a joke, right?

[broadpath]

If you like this type of music but think BBT sucks then check out The Blasters. I know they are an old band but they nailed this genre. For newer stuff that is levels above BBT check out Dave Alvin and John Hiatt.

[comlax22]

Are you fucking kidding? This SUCKS!

Billy Bob can't sing for shit, especially for someone so arrogant about his "music."

[pop89966]

whats exactly is

cosmic cowboy"?

lol it was pretty lame..

[pw0867]

wow - lame

[brandystoy]

After peggy's stupid post I'm beginning to think bbt is right about canadians

[peggymc8]

btw....on topic...this sucked ass.

[peggymc8]

you said it billy you are the original messed up kid??! Hey guys heads up get rid of Billy knob and you might, i said might hav some sort of musical career. Seriously though how do you guys sleep on the bus with that pyscho asshole on board??? the funniest part of this whole thing is that the guy that interviewed is an actual singer & drummer! I bet if google asshole, assholes picture shows up.

[brandystoy]

I kinda liked it... Just kidding lol

[HonzM]

Brilliant Boxmasters! Never seen or heard better form.. love it!

[frameoff350]

get it Boxmasters!!!!!

[fmiller747]

Could BBT look anymore uncomfortable onstage? Forget his mediocre musicianship. How stiff and forced he looks - like a just-quit smoker who doesn't know what to do with their hands.

Just as well. His big mouth and arrogant, crappy attitude torpedoed any chances his band had.

[peoplesdj2]

wow.......what a freak!! hang it up BBT stick to acting

[Valsdaynow]

I like this type of music but this is pretty bad. I saw Willlie with David Alan Coe as an opening act. I would be pretty pissed if I paid to see WIllie and had to listen to this. I agree with some of the other comments, BBT might need some medication. The interview you did was pretty bad, shame on you, if you didn't want to do the interview you should of stayed in bed.

[chaseybabe]

Man - THESE GUYS SUCK ASS.

These clowns are worse than I thought.

BBT's voice is week and disinterested. He's a manic/depressive piece of garbage.

If they didn't have some acting hack (other than Slingblade) as their lame lead singer, they wouldn't get an audition at a second-rate roadhouse.

Good luck to ya boys.

[captainclowd]

I try to be objective because the easiest thing to do is pile on to media hype, and I admire the spirit of anyone who enjoys sharing their musical talent with the world. I like the guy's movies. After watching the video, I must agree, the only way this band gets any attention is to have a movie star as a frontman. The fact that he disavows it shows his lack of appreciation for all that he has been blessed with, and is a negative reflection on his character. At least he has a nice suit.

[broadpath]

I don't know what he's talking about. I don't understand. I entered a contest once it was about tony the tiger and I got a mask. A real tony the tiger mask and I lost it on the way to school. I met tony the tiger once. He's a good guy. I don't know what he's talking about.

[ZMT4LIFE]

he should have stuck to acting because him and his shitty butt-fuck band have about just as much musical talent as the Jonas Brothers, who everybody with ears can tell you is the worst band EVER!!!

[ddrrssii]

In the "Messed Up Kid" video, Billy Slob looks like some Ozark moron funeral director.

[ddrrssii]

And the latest is:

Billy Bob cancels the rest of the Canadian tour, saying that Canadian audiences are like "Mashed potatoes with no gravy".

If this is a publicity stunt, it's backfired on Billy Slob's sorry ass. If he had any intention of being a viable musician and being taken seriously as such, he's only getting in his own way with this crap.

And Willie Nelson should pick his opening acts based on their talent and ability, not their Hollywood resume.

[secondeye]

How many of you would be watching this without the interview leading you here?

It's called publicity stunt.

[ZMT4LIFE]

true but its also they suck fucking cock.

[BongoandReikiT]

This was the talent competition at my high school last night!!!

They lost and were then pelted with rotten vegetables and told never to come back.

[dsalcedo98]

billy bob thorton is an Ahole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,u suck billy bob

ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHOLEEEEEEEEE­EEEE

like the Baby from Meet the fockers would say.

[DeathDude002]

Sounds like an open mike on a Thursday night at the airport motel in Thunder Bay. Actually the open mike is probably better. At least in thunder Bay the Mashed potatoes and gravy is GOOD

[nallsaviation]

/ \ this is bob.. copy and paste bob and he will soon take over youtube

[mdutchmdutch]

Tom Petty may be an apt comparison in terms of recreational drug use, but Billy Bob is about as much of a songwriter & singer as Tom is an actor.

Dance with the one that brung ya, hillbilly.

[10cschmidt5150]

[unbc100]

Billy, Billy, Billy, ... You need to get a life, get off the drugs, and stop comparing yourself to Tom Petty. Apples and Oranges buddy. PS -Get some singing lessons.

[Ratarootus]

A sound check to level out the sounds might have been a good idea... don't ya think?

[hallyhallyoxenfree]

this sucks ballz

[kennydorham65]

Not only can this guy not act. He can't sing as well!!!

[loewen23]

wow, the energy from this band just seems to emanate from my computer and inspire me to create art of untold beauty!

not.

[britts1234]

LOL! Too funny.....

[ddrrssii]

"Can you explain why it's not just a hobby?" says Billy Slob...

Yeah, well, for it to be hobby, you'd have to be able to actually DO it, you friggin' idiot!

[Byronws]

WTF Billy? Can't you act anymore???

[rogerpeltzman]

it's good to be rich

[korndud]

horrible noise. this guy is a piece of shit.

[ibuckshot]

I'm always proud when ol' grand-dad takes the stage.

He lost the pipes in the 70's from doing Frank Sinatra tributes but he still likes to get up there.

God Bless 'em.

[projectsuubi]

Billy Bob, you don't even play the drums! You silly little "cosmic cowboy".

[C2cUcAnTcMe]

the absolute worst musician i have ever heard.

[djflashg]

lol.the canadians are upset

[garyanderson01]

If I said your a goof Billy Bob Thorton, would you be able to figure out what I was talkin about???

[stephylove]

beat it, oh yeah canada says "up yours douche bag"

[todompol]

Billy Bob, your music sucks as bad as your interview skills.

[eringilbert]

roflroflroflrofl i thought i was gonna die laughing lord lol

[mikedaugherty]

Mediocre bar band with famous front guy.

[moodeblues]

It's a draw in the contest between Billy Bob and Joaquin Phoenix for great actor gone bad musician gone wacko!

[RREDDELL]

Please go back to movies Billy Bob.. Stop embarrassing yourself!

[oldergods]

Karaoke night at best. My interest was peaked by his AWFUL interview vid, but it was DEFINATELY unwarranted. Jeez Bob, stick to what you do best. (By the way, what you do best IS NOT singing or drumming). Sorry dude, truth hurts. Great for the "dive bar" crowd though.

[jazzsaavy]

i like the song im gonna buy it or the cd if i catch it somewhere and dont pay no mind to the evil shit they are saying about billy and the canada radio interview when you are asked not to bring up shit to a guest you dont like the style billy drummers not bad nice slingerlands although id prefer another color or clear heads at least on the bass drum

[traveldakini]

not good

[Alcetic]

shit performance...don't buy their album

[damnedlioness]

Now that's about as boring a performance as I've ever seen. BBT - you think people should rave about this nonsense? I've heard better at the local dump on talent night. Really.

[crhood2166]

Thornton's an ass! His head has gotten WAY too big. Check out his interview where he refused to talk coherently because the interviewer mentioned he was an actor as well a musician. What a douche!

[mattmclean21]

weak...the band has sold their souls to be with this dude

[dustyskates]

Not a good recording. It is much better live. I saw this in Ottawa. He was pretty good. And it is true Canadian audiences are not rowdy when it comes to country music, so give it a break. His whole band rocks and i would go see the show again anytime.

[HoMaR1NoNlY]

I think the majority has it...and maybe he ought to stick to just playing a retard in movies cause he really can't sing for shit.

[ddrrssii]

Absolute drivel. And Billy Boy has the stage presence of a doorman at a strip club.

He can't sing worth SHEEIT!

[supermiketube]

That's got to be the best comment of all the others here.

[ddrrssii]

What a DICK Billy Boy is.

Yeah, like he'd be touring with Willie Nelson if he wasn't famous for acting.

"I don't know what you're talking about" he says when asked how long the band has been together.

[glitch77]

Good god this is terrible.

[burntoven2]

Billy Bob is a grade-A jagweed and can't sing worth a damn. He made a royal ass of himself on that radio interview. Tom Petty should give him a public smack-down for the comparison. What a freaking baby...very uncool for a grown man to throw a tantrum.

And why in the hell did he decide to put down Canadian audiences?! I heart Canada!

[rockinjellyfish]

I wonder what every happened to that vial of Jolie blood he used to have hanging round his neck.

[FOWLMUSIC]

Really, why are people so angry about his interview? It was entertaining which is more than I can say for the majority of interviews out there. And every time you stop by here to leave an I hate you comment, his musical popularity grows that much more. Funny.

[collingwoodcanuck]

Hey Jackass, you take an interview on a prestigious radio show knowing full well that you only got it because of your acting notoriety, but refuse to allow the host to mention that fact. Gomeshi should have hooked you. I bet your band members hate the fact that they had to sell out by allowing you in the band in order to get the musical fame they've been hoping for. I think I'm going to your next show to whip a potato in your face (no gravy though!). You're about as sane as Joequin Phoenix.

[somewhere6]

That interview on Q is being blown out of proportion. BBT woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Big deal... What would be interesting would be how the other band members reacted to it and whether they said anything to him afterwards. As for Canadian audiences being "mashed potatoes without the gravy", it might be an apt description..

[mstews]

Echoing the previous comments, heard this guy on the Q, what a prick. I hope his shitty band fails.

[haruspex13]

Dear Billy Bob,

In the age of the Internet, one major fuck up on a Canadian radio show is going to haunt you for the rest of your shitty music career. Hopefully not your other band members, just you.

Bad interview behavior or not, you can't sing worth a damn.

[dreamlife222]

Wow, BB really is an A-HOLE! Check out the interview on Q. No class. Won't be listening to his stuff again.

[coolzer5369]

great coolzer5369

[coolzer5369]

i got some songs i'd the boxmasters to check out.one is titled"keep ridin' this road" coolzer5369

[supertestII]

this man is fucked in the head watch him on Q on youtube. What a wack job

[Kal99]

You're absolutely right!!!

The only reason this hillbilly group gets any gigs in theatres and concert halls is because they have him as a singer....yet he wont talk about anything to do with acting.

Fine...go back to playing in your garage Billy Bob!

[KLinZ3]

this guy is a poser--no stage prescence or unique angle in vocal timbre. Aside from that, he lost one of the hottest women on the planet due to infidelity, has a goofy-ass name, and is FUGLY to-boot. What a schnook. LOL

[gimmefunnies]

Billy Bob was an idiot on CBC radio this morning. He was offended that Gian Gomeshi mentioned he was also an award-winning actor and screenwriter, then said Canada was like "mashed potatoes without the gravy." What a LOSER. His music SUCKS.

[Dibrini]

Gonna see them at Stubbs tomorrow, I hope.

[verden]

The song is "The Original Mixed-Up Kid" from Mott the Hoople's "Wildlife" Album. Great version. Great CD!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Billy Bob is the MAN

[BellaStratton132]

What a great bunch of musicians.

I can't wait to see them in their 2008 concert tour...coming so to a venue near you---IF you are LUCKY!
