But pardon me if I don’t ensconce him on top of a pedestal as some country savior, when every bit of his country criticism has been boring, canned, extremely predictable, and ultimately, aggressively pandering. If he wants to perform and support real country music, or even criticize what today’s country has become, then excellent. But Aaron Lewis, a dyed-in-the-wool rock gone country guy, is not the one to be delivering this message, I’m sorry. And hey, I will give him credit for taking a stand. It would be like reporting on each instance Luke Bryan shakes his ass provocatively on stage.īut this is the thing about Aaron Lewis and his anti-country stance: Normally this type of thing would solicit high praise from an outlet like Saving Country Music. There are many examples of this on YouTube. And actually, that happens all the time as well. It just happened to be that someone was rolling on it. The news would have been if he had NOT trounced pop country from the stage. Aaron Lewis says this type of stuff at every single country show he plays, and has been for half a decade. And every other motherfucker that is just choking all the life out of country music.”īut this is nothing new either, even though it’s new to WhiskeyRiff and others who are looking to create a viral sensation on Facebook. I’d like to thank Luke Bryan, for most of his stuff – he surprises me every once in a while. “I’d like to thank Sam Hunt – oh, I know, he’s so pretty to look at. That being said, I want to thank a few people for inspiring me to write this next song,” referring to “That Ain’t Country.” “Sometimes the things I say get me in trouble, and I don’t really give a fuck. ![]() And since everyone likes a good artist on artist donnybrook, a bunch of noise is being made of comments from a recent Aaron Lewis concert at the Thunder Mountain Amphitheatre in Loveland, Colorado on September 4th where he said, The lead single “ That Ain’t Country” is a good ol’ fashioned country protest song. ![]() Now Lewis is at it again as he gets ready to release a new record on Friday, September 16th called Sinner. But obviously, a lot of people related to it ’cause it went to #1, go figure.” He then went on to perform a parody version of the song by a songwriter named Zach Woods. “I just always thought the message of this song was pretty fucked up. “I fucking hate this song,” Aaron Lewis told the crowd at a live show. Then just a few days afterwards, Lewis put Tyler Farr and his song “Redneck Crazy” in his crosshairs. ![]() I think that everything has been pretty well beaten to death.” Lewis mouthed off on record to the Marion Star in early 2014 saying, “I think there’s enough beer on the beach, partying on the tailgate, driving around in a pickup truck, moonshine songs. This is not the first time the misanthrope Staind frontman Aaron Lewis has spewed venom in pop country’s direction.
