I saw Kenny on stage with Mellencamp and though I'm not a big fan of either one, it was obvious that Mellencamp is a seasoned pro and the other fella is pretty weak. Never did hear the steel. Usually on these kinda shows each works with the others niche...Not so with this one it was all Mellencamp. (Probably just as well.) |

Chesney is the highest paid bald kareoke singer.But he will under todays circumstances be consided for the CMA HOF. Why not? It's turned into a joke anyway. ------------------ |

My wife and I went to a Kenny Chesney concert a few weeks ago. He was appearing with Dierks Bentley and Keith Urban. We sat and listened to Dierks Bentley and enjoyed it. Keith Urban was tolerable, but not my favorite. When Kenny got on stage, he was nothing but one big ego trip with his struttin' around and considering himself "all that and a bag of chips". It was very disappointing. So disappointing in fact that we left the concert after 3 of Chesney's songs. We couldn't stand it any longer. Other than Dierks Bentley doing about 4 songs that really sounded like country music, I felt that I had wasted 100 bucks. Chesney's tour name is "Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love"....It should have been called..."Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta EGO"! Just my opinion. |

Bruce, I can kinda' get a sense of that just from the interviews I've seen. It's funny, modern country music is the only profession where a 3 foot small, bald guy can be an arrogant prick and make a fortune doing it. If he had any other job in the world, AND the same attitude, someone would have broke a leg off in his ass a LOOOOOOOOOONG time ago.

No fair attacking Kenny personally. If you don't like the singing, just don't listen. This isn't nice. Rick |

I don't care for Kenny's music too much, but that doesn't make him a bad guy. Also, why is being bald such a crime? The vast majority of guys on this site are bald(I'm as bald as a billiard ball)and it hasn't hurt their playing any. If you must hate someone, hate people who start wars that cause innocent people to get killed. |

Andy, Speaking for myself,I don't hate Kenny,or ANY bald people. I'm merely having a little fun w/ him. I'm Polish,& have put up w/ "Polack jokes" for years. I probably tell more & laugh more than ANYBODY at 'em. I also tell blonde jokes,Jewish jokes,Italian jokes,black jokes,Mexican jokes,etc.etc. I'm an "equal opportunity insultor". But,I probably tell MORE "Polack jokes" than anything. I,also,have a rather large nose,& I get more "flak" about that than anything. If we can't laugh at ourselves, then we have no right laughing at others. Why d'ya think they call me "Smiley"? ------------------ [This message was edited by Smiley Roberts on 04 June 2004 at 05:22 PM.] |

Price and Haggard are still making records, y'know, and for every song by Cheesy and his ilk that's played, that's a Price or Haggard record that doesn't get played. [This message was edited by Cal Sharp on 06 June 2004 at 08:45 PM.] |

Hey Smiley I noticed you don't tell Irish or "Aussie" Jokes. And fellas can we cut out the Bald jokes? I resemble that remark. Remember Cohen and meself are black belts in karoeke. Would you believe "yellow suspenders"? Anyway God only made so many perfect heads. The rest he put hair on. |

Who plays steel for Kenny? I think he plays a Zum? I wonder if he reads these threads about his boss and if he'd tell us about working for the hottest selling artist in country today? |

Did any of you see him with Willie Nelson the other night. They were singing "Stay All Night, Stay A Little Longer". It was Willie, Toby Keith and Kenny Chesny. The plan was, they would all sing a verse, lead ride, then the next guy sing a verse...etc. So there is Kenny, tight muscle shirt on, hat was just perfect....well the song finally got around to Chesney and he forgot the words! I was laughing my tail off, watching the pretty boy struggle on stage. Toby Keith finally bailed him out and started singing. Nashville doesn't discover stars, it creates them, whether they are talented or not. If they shove an artist down our throats long enough, and if he looks good in tight jeans, he will be successful, Nashville will see to it. Unfortunatley, it's not really about the music any more. I still listen to the OLD stuff. Sorry for the rant! |

I used to cross paths with Jim Bob back in the 80's quite a bit. Both of our bands were based out of Billings, Montana at the time. We opened for Andy Griggs last night, and after the show the promoter asked if we would open for Kenny Chesny later this summer. Cool!?... Bummer!?... Uhh... I'm going with Cool! on this one. This is one of the biggest concert venues on the west coast. Plus I get to see Jim Bob again! |

I agree, it would be cool to open for Kenny C. You are guaranteed there will be a huge crowd. Congrats! Our band opened for 2 of my favorite songwriters lately. Rodny Crowell and Radney Foster. Both great guys and we got to hear some GREAT music. |

I guess it is time to surrender? The enermy has landed and taken control.Nothing short of an uprising and reinforcements(talent) will regain the ground lost.General Haggard and General Jones army has lost the battle. Once the Ammo supply ran out(record sales and airplay) along with any reinforcements(new super talented songwriters) the battle was purely lost.Oh they fought gallantly,Sgt.Jackson and Sgt. Gill still hold their ground and still refuse to surrender but with out a continuous ammo supply line (new material and airplay)look for their white flag soon... Pvt. Chesseknee who has been promoted to General and told to re-organize the troops (teeny Boppers)will confer with Retired General Barfidy Brooks on how to repell from a high area without his hat falling off. He promises bigger Q- cards and to follow in his Idols (Merle Haggard) footsteps. I hope Merle walks through a cow pasture when he is following.No shoes, no shirt, no talent Just Bullship rich. ------------------ |

FWIW, When we opened for Merle, $35,000 went to Merle, and $350 went to us. I'm expecting something similar for the Kenny show, if we get paid at all. Evvv-ree-Body sing!... Keep your daaaaay job! |

I really hate to admit this but ,Kenny Chesney songs are somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine. Im a 50 year old classic fan with a teenage daughter who listens to Top Country radio. I find myself enjoying and looking forward to his songs. "Sexy Tractor " Big Orange Ball " etc. not to mention the most beautiful sad song of last year, " Alot of Things Different". His honk of a voice is probably an aquired taste but at least his drawl sounds honest. Get off the kid's back ! |
