Eric Church seems like a dickhole....

Eric Church fans deserve it for being Eric Church fans.

[jimmyjazz 46518]

We knew Eric Church was a dickhole long before this ill-advised decision.  Now some of his fans realize it, too.

Talent-free, pseudo-bad-boy of country music is exposed for what he is.  More at 11.

[Al_4_ISU 12549]

I know a lot of people with otherwise good taste in country that like Eric Church, and I've tried but I can't tell the difference between him and Luke Bryan.

And now I know he's an unprofessional dick.

Is church the fat one or is that someone else?

[4th&Five 41724]

He's taken some actual good bands on tour with him in the past, which is cool but this just makes me laugh. He obviously had no confidence that UNC was going to be in the F4 when the show was scheduled.

Must be someone else.  Fat guys usually don't end up on the radio.  Church is pretty skinny.

[jimmyjazz 46518]

Church is Tim McGraw 2.0, in looks and "talent".

[Newdoc 3465]

There is not much tangibly physical for a music fan to burn these days. Will spurned Church fans post fire .gifs with his virtual album covers in protest?

That and Tim McGraw married up.

[Al_4_ISU 12549]

The difference is that I don't see anyone that likes more critically acclaimed country stanning for Tim McGraw.  I do see it with Eric Church.

Chris Stapleton isn't exactly svelte.

The thing is, he has undeniable talent.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10487]

He's a dick. I hope the venue makes him pay.

I know. I finally sat down in my library for my lunch break and saw that the intellectual topic of the hour was portly country music stars. Those two popped up in my mind, but you’re right- even after several more minutes of deep and stimulating thought, I couldn’t come up with any more.

He's more of a dad bod vs true fat ass.

Joshua Ray Walker and John Moreland make some of the best country or country-adjacent (in Moreland's case) music out there right now.  Neither one will ever become truly famous unless they lose a few hundred pounds.

I looked it up and Luke Combs is who I was thinking of. I couldn't tell you the difference between him, church, and Luke Bryan (other than the fat part)

[Gil Bang 26119]

Yeah, I've seen that Luke Combs cat, and yeah, he needs to mix in a salad. 

 

Give him 20 years, a gold chain, and see-though socks and he could play a mobster in a shitty movie.

Luke Combs has at least one good song that I've heard.  I've never liked a single song I've heard from Church and Bryan.  He's definitely more on the radio country spectrum of things and I'd wager most of his songs are junk (I've never listened to a whole album).

And yeah, he's a big boy.  Absolutely the max size you can be and still make the radio.  His wife is a great example of why guys learn how to play guitar.

What, you don't see the honesty in a country song about Bruce Springsteen?

I think the part I hate the most about that song (other than the terrible "boomboomboomboom" shit") is the fact that most people who love it can name, MAYBE, 3 Springsteen songs.  And most would probably just know "Born In the USA".

It's the musical equivalent of teen girls today wearing Rolling Stones and AC/DC shirts.

Big contribution, Sack.

I guess it could be argued that both Church and McGraw are "acting" as musicians.

This is why when I was 11 and all my buddies at school were signing up for the band, my old man said "learn how to play piano, and then guitar.  No one ever got laid for playing the French horn".

At least it looks like he knows how ridiculous this looks, like he's just saying "yeah, I can't believe it either" 

[Scraps 13603]

no I am a dickhole because I think this is funny as hell and his fans deserve it for listening to his shitty music and making it popular.

The one song of his I like is basically his admission of this.

John Entwistle maybe.

[Kennythetiger 9503]

I guess I am in the minority for two reasons. I went to one Eric Church concert, sat in the nosebleeds, and enjoyed it. He put on a good show. 
Second, if he wants to skip a concert, good for him. Especially to watch something with his family that’s apparently very important to him. 
I have been fucked twice by the Turnpike Troubadours, neither time felt good. But yet I bought tickets to their next show. 
I actually admire Eric for drawing boundaries. 

[yoladu 4172]

Should listen to J Church instead.

When my kids were little my wife said "What if they want to be in band instead of sports?" 

I said they can be in a band, not the band.
