Cowboy Troy?

[wide-e-wide]

Watching the CMA awards with my wife and a large black gentleman presented an award with Wynona Judd (BTW she ain't exactly small)

Please explain this to me.....

www.cowboytroy.com

WTF? That's it...I'm making a record tomorrow...this is this week's sign that the apocalypse is upon us....

Please...just go away.

and I can't wait to hear dada's response to this.

[wide-e-wide]

OMG...please sombody listen to this...

"Crick in my neck"....?

Good Lord...I'm about to piss myself.

[GoOwls]

Wide, he actually isn't bad. He does a very listenable "County/Rap" thing.

As for the "Crick in my neck" thing, heck, even I say that.

You gotta get out more! :D

[southlake thug]

I have heard some of his songs and they really aren't that bad. Although I would never promote this and would generally not even admit to listening to it. I would be way to embarrassed.

NO...This is bad GoOwls...as a fan of both country and hip-hop music...I am blown away...this is horrible.

Finally the voice of reason...

[Redneckn]

JESUS H. CHRIST!!! That is THE most homosexual thing I have EVER heard. That completely takes the "Dear God that's gay" award away from RightSaidFred (I'm too sexy).

My ears...bleeding.. my gut, hurting...I actually hit my head on the wall here next to me desk...
That's stupid...really really stupid..

*please see "Love those Philly fans" in the NFL discussion.*
*I think I brought up music there, this is another example. wait and see.*

[lonny23]

Wide, did you see Cowboy Troy with Big and Rich at the NBA All-Star game? They were like a circus singing, "Save a Horse. Ride a Cowboy."

Troy is from Dallas and he's OK.

[wide-e-wide]

Troy is from Dallas and he's OK.

Well...he is a UT grad... :eek:

[Redneckn]

Remember in The Green Mile how JohnCoffey was always trying to "take it back"? Well, UT needs to take it back...He is disgracing the fine state of Texas with that...

I agree...he is our version of Toby Keith...

Which is pretty sad...considering the fact that OU is proud of Toby Keith.

I guess everybody likes to someone link themselves with somebody famous.

I don't get it...

They shoot John Lennon...but somehow this jackass goes on stage and survives?

I'd agree.. But that goes a little further than just unacceptable.. That is
f-ing unacceptable..

[dragonfootballfan]

this is the most ridiculous thing ever. Even more ridiculous than when I went to the texas motor speedway and these rednecks with a boom box started blasting a country music version of the snoop dogg song "gin and juice". This may be the most terrible thing that I have seen or heard. Atleast that asian kid from american idol was terrible and I could laugh at him and then his 15 minutes ran out and I don't ever have to see him again. I don't think I am going to be that lucky with this guy

[ThEgReAtOnE]

WTF??!!!!!

Is this guy serious??!! LOL!!!! This is freakin' hilarious!!!!!

This guy should be jailed, honestly!!! Throw the freakin' key away, on his a**!!!

I don't care about him being black, the songs are HORRIBLE!!!!!!

BEYOND HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!

[wide-e-wide]

Now I have that stupid "Chicken with the train" crap stuck in my head all day...Don't listen to it...you'll be humming it for a week.

[wide-e-wide]

Oh hell no...this thing cannot go away until we hear dada's take on the whole
Hick-Hop phenom.....let's hear it dawg.

[GoOwls]

I'm way older and more of a stick in the mud that the lot of you and I like it. I surprised you young fellers haven't got on the bandwagon yet. My wife listens to CMT quite a bit and I rejected the guy at first like you guys, but over time, like Wide said, that "I played chicken with the train" tune gets in your head and then you're hooked. Wide is hooked now.......he's just still in denial. :D :D

[jtk1519]

Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash are turning over in their graves.

[dada]

Oh hell no...this thing cannot go away until we hear dada's take on the whole
Hick-Hop phenom.....let's hear it dawg.
Uhhhhh...I did NOT see this thead
I did NOT hear those sound clips

The funniest lyric is...don't remember which song...but he says...

"Get jiggy to some Cowboy funk....get on the floor with 'yo ga-dunka-dunk"

I was done after I heard that one.

[dada]

I 've had enough....if this fool goes platinum......I'm going to the studio...I'm in the wrong business....I thought 5-0 was bad....Remember the raping cops, hince the name FIVE-O.......Gee whiz...what's next.....

It's getting ridiculous...You and I could go in the studio...come up with something really stupid...but a phat beat with it...buy us a platinum grill...and just smile as the money rolls in.

Did I just use "phat" in a sentence?

Yep...you said "Phat"...if you use "Ill" or "Dope" not referring to being sick or drugs...I'm gonna have to ask you to go sit in the corner with Redneckn

[AZTiger]

garbage, just plain garbage. first off, any of that crap on the CMA's, that's not country. and cowboy troy? good Lord, don't get me started.

sidenote: dada or wide, there is a song played on 97.9 and 104.9 these days with good regularity, it's by a houston guy, it's not the chamillionaire song and its not sittin sideways, but its a good song, and i have no freakin clue who it is because DJs never tell ya who they're playin anymore...any help?

[AZTiger]

nevermind found it, "Draped Up" Bun B w/Lil Keke

Fred would have a good battle. Troy is 6'5", but Fred may overpower him with that mesh shirt! :D

I liked Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex, BTW.

[dada]

nevermind found it, "Draped Up" Bun B w/Lil Keke
Bun B's Trill...Instant classic....get it.

[Redneckn]

Why am I in the corner????

[dada]

Why am I in the corner????
For actually saying you liked Yanni....somethings we must keep to ourselves.

[KT2000]

Why am I in the corner????

You started a thread about Yanni.

[Redneckn]

There is NOTHING wrong with listening to Yanni... There may indeed be something wrong with Yanni.. But his music is fine. Y'all are just a bunch of hethens that don't know what good music is..
That is not my fault. I try to culture you little devils as best I can.

[KT2000]

I'm just messin. I'm sure he is a good musician. I like progressive rock/metal music myself. Dream Theater, Rush, Queensryche, etc.

Rush? DreamTheater? Queensryche? That's funny..

That stuff is kool on 80's nite I guess...hahaha..

Try Static-X, SlIpKn0T, NIN... That'll get you off to a good start...

Really though, I like a lot of stuff. But I tend to listen to the stuff that is more heavy. Right now I am listening to DieForm a lot. I think they have been around for a while, but I just recently discovered them. They are like.. uh.. Nothing else...haha..

[KT2000]

Nah, I'm more into Fear Factory, Metallica, Godsmack and System of a Down for more modern stuff. Can't get into NIN or Slipknot.

Godsmack and Dream Theater never leave the CD tray. I like some rap, but not much of this new school business. I still listen to the Chronic, Cube, Doggystyle and Bone Thugs. I'm not converting over to this new stuff.

You should at least check out the latest NIN.. "With Teeth". It's not really the same as other NIN stuff. I like it pretty good.
FearFactory is ok. Metallica.. I kinda figured that went without saying. Everybody is a Metallica fan, some just dont know it. Godsmack is kool. I got to hang out with them a few years back at a show. I was working security for a venue in Shreveport. So I've met a lot of people. That's how I have become a fan of a lot of people..Like Garth Brooks.. He's a kool dude.

(rap, I dont care for. I like the old old (rap.. But that's it. Too$hort, 2Live[rew. Whodini... But I don't listen to it much.. I have a reputation to uphold..haha..

If that's progressive, my question is how? Progressively worse! Give me some recession! :p

Hey AZ...I never looked at your location before...

I used to work in Chandler...

I lived on 55th ave. and Indian School in Maryvale back in the early 90's...down the street from the Black Angus...

Wow...good memories.

I don't ever like to knock on any type of music because I am a musician myself and make a living that way, but when you write a song about playing chicken with a train, I have to speak up.

This, Big and Rich, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, ect. is what's wrong with "country music" these days. Those guys don't even write there own songs, how can you respect them?

Kenny Chesney has a new album coming out pretty soon, and on the back of the booklet is a picture of him with a guitar. I can GURANTEE you he doesn't know a chord or a riff of any kind.

Country music has really gone south and it's been like that for a while. How anyone could go out and buy some of these musicians records is beyond me. How someone could get into this music is beyond me. There are a lot of bands out there that deserve to be on the radio but aren't because pieces of trash like Cowboy Troy take up the airwaves.

[AZTiger]

kenny chesney just released a cover of a Randy Rogers song (RR is a ****** texas country guy, he's like 27), and compared to Randy's version, it BLOWS

I'm so glad you know who Randy is...thank god. He'll be in Katy at Midnight Rodeo on the 23rd. I also use his quote as my sig on the board. He is a great songwriter..

And the cut of 'Somebody Take Me Home' completely blows. Kenny is notorious for ruining great songs. Just leave Texas Country music alone Nashville!

Yep, I'm talking about George Strait.

He's the only exception, Lonny. Anyone that used to play in Gruene is fine with me.

I still don't have as much respect for him as I would if he wrote his own tunes.

I've heard that old crap about writing your own music since the 60's. It's a bogus argument. The Boston Pops doesn't write their own music, do they not deserve respect? George Strait, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, The London Philharmonic, and Elivs Presley, among others, didn't write their own music. Do they not deserve respect. Some people write, some people perform, some do both, there should be no less respect for the first two just because God didn't gift them with the ability to do both. All three are integral to the popularity and success of the music industry. You should broaden your view a bit and be a bit more inclusive of those of "lesser" talents. BTW, what Top 40 songs have you written or performed to be so critical of others lack of talent?

I never said I didn't have repsect for guys like Presley and Sinatra. Both of them are very influencial to me. I have respect for every artist that you named, but again, not as much as I would if they wrote there own stuff. I have a feeling if you played guitar and wrote your own tunes, you'd feel the way I do. You'd understand just how challenging it is to write a song.

I don't have a problem with people not writing there own songs really. It's the fact that the songwriters get zero or no recognition and people just assume that, for example, Kenny Chesney wrote all of his songs. If you get the chance go listen to Kenny's track called "Somebody Take Me Home" and then listen to the original version by Randy Rogers..tell me which is better.

And no, I haven't written or performed a Top 40 song, but I am working on it. ;)

Broaden my view, huh? Which artists would you suggest I start listening to?

[wide-e-wide]

I agree with both of you...if that is possible?
I have never been a big fan of the re-make...
In fact I can only count 5 or so...re-makes that were as good/better
than the original...The biggest being...The Rolling Stones remake of Otis
Redding's "Satisfaction"...

And I really appreciate artists that write their own music...
That's why I admire Stevie Wonder so much...Paul Simon...
Elton John...India Arie...Alicia Keys...the list goes on...

But something can be said for the performers...artists/bands
that rarely did their own music...they are just as talented...but just don't have talent in a dual capacity....'ya dig?

I just love music...and 75% of the stuff now days...is not music to me.

I agree with you about the recognition thing for writers, especially for Rock. However, Country goes out of it's way to honor writers for their talents. Each video on CMT has writing credits and the writers consistantly get featured on-stage at the various awards shows and are regularly inducted into the CM Hall-Of-Fame. Country artists are very aware of the debt they owe to the writers and give them their props regularly.
