Seriously, the same 12 shitty songs written by mentally defective marmots make me want to off myself.

Honestly, radio country makes black metal lyrics about satan look like fucking PhD dissertations.

I can't even appreciate the musicianship at this point. Same 12 songs, 3-5x a day.

Someone, please. Kill me.

I know how you feel. If I hear that chew tobacco chew tobacco spit song one more fucking time at work, I'm gonna set the building on fire.

LOL!! Yep, get tired of hearing the same old shit on the radio. However, there are some damned good pickers in country music!! That old clip of Albert Lee playing his Tele is pretty hot, and, that was thirty five years ago. Pretty good for an Englishman doing country back in those days!! I drink enough beer and have enough problem; don't need to hear anyone whine about theirs!!

And, Slaymoar, that is a full Colt AR!! I have a few of them around, among other "hunting" pieces! I do have a CWP, so, I carry mine all of the time.

Yup, or the one about moonlight. Or wagon wheel. Or parking lot party. Or drive my truck.

I like Outlaw Country and Bluegrass but I haven't heard of any of the artists in the OP. I'm guessing they're generic pop country?!?

Most likely.. pretty poppy sounding

Johnny Cash kicks butt...

I listen to it sometimes, but not that pop crap sung with an accent. I love the style and the guitar tones. Would love to be able to do that hybrid picking those guys do.

Beer, Truck, Tailgate, Son, Wife, Father, Daughter, Momma, Farm, Cornfield. Make a chorus with any of these words and give it a good guitar hook. Now talk about sad, happy or angry any of those make you.

You forgot 'Texas'. Frequency of use inversely proportionate to the number of times the songwriter has been there.

Also, don't forget 'Murrica.

Country acts go hyperpatriotic as a cash grab or last-ditch career resuscitation the same way hair metal bands recorded power ballads or rappers went gangsta mid-career.
